Nairametrics| Though the Nigerian Stock Exchange has witnessed an uptick, stocks in the healthcare sector have typically being laggards. The pharmaceutical sector in particular has struggled with various challenges such as poor infrastructure, high tariffs on raw materials and difficulties in accessing foreign exchange. Two stocks however, have bucked the trend. Shares of May and Baker year to date have risen 56.38%. Fidson shares are up 39.84% year to date. Both beating the All Share Index which is up 4.61%

The massive increase in the share prices of both stocks has been attributed to rumours of a likely acquisition of May and Baker by Fidson Healthcare. Neither the NSE nor the two companies involved have issued a statement concerning merger talks.

A critical analysis of the financial statements for both companies shows Fidson is a bigger than May and Baker in all ramifications. May and Baker has issued and fully paid share capital of 980 million shares which gives a market capitalization of N1.44 billion at current prices. Fidson healthcare on the other hand has an issued share capital of 1.5 billion making its market capitalization N2.6 billion.

Fidson also has bigger retained earnings. Results for the first quarter ended March 2017, put its retained earnings at N2.9 billion. May and Baker had retained earnings of N919 million as at March 2017. Fidson could therefore buy a 50% stake in May and Baker plc from its retained earnings.

Fidson may be interested in May and Baker because of its bio vaccine and food units. First quarter results show the company made N2.3 billion in revenue, of which N491 million was from the foods unit. Of the total profit of N683 million made, N72 million was made from food.

In response to enquiries from both investors and the NSE, both companies have issued press releases. The Fidson healthcare press release calls talk of a merger /acquisition baseless and speculative. May and Baker in its statement, sees the merger/acquisition talk as malicious, since the current management is strategically positioning the company for greater heights.

pls is it true dat maybaker made 685m pat in first quater? And they have diversified into food? I just saw an article dis morning, they are d makers of mimi noodles and a table water.

PointB:
Even so, do we know how many hausa guy are in possession on such audio? And how seriously they may take it? Shouldn't those who are potential target be at alert?

Which government is he trying to pull down? Same government that the President is on indefinite Medical Vacation? The same country the Vice is toothless mere coordinator /commissioner? Same government that doesn't fail at any chance to score an own goal? The one that butcher it's citizens at least provocation? You call that a government?

What makes Deji believe whoever made the alleged tape is from the north?

We wake up everyday to all sort of dangerous and devisive propaganda by IPOB all in a bid to consolidate their stranglehold on the minds of their supporters.

A chinedu who was born and bred in the North can easily speak Hausa and mimick their accent, or one Nnamdi can easily pay some nutjob Hausa fellow to say those words and then have it posted on social media.

Ipob has done more harm to the psyche and behavior of the average igbo man than anything else under the sun.



Meanwhile, thanks to you ipob yoots, I see your hand work.

What a pity.

i pity d circumstance we find ourselves in dis country. People contineu to shoot themselfs on d foot ignorantly

If the president doesn't show up before October 1st.
They might truly carry out their threat and cause mayhem in the north, of course a reprisal would ensure in the East.

This would be a good window for the khaki boys to come in and take over, chasing PYO into a compulsory I.T of 9 months!

Its a high level chess game here, the Igbo are not truly the target rather they are just collateral damage. The main target is just getting FULL control of the aso villa and war against the Igbo's is a wonderful recipe to attain such.

Yoruba's seem to play the sitting on the fence game and keep acting deaf because the threats ain't towards them, forgetting the fact that PYO on that sit is the REAL war.

The thing go touch everybody but it might be too late to realize. When that precious question of "are you Igbo or Hausa" is being asked by the almajiri, it would definitely be in Hausa language and not English or pidgin. Woe betides any who can't respond accordingly in Hausa language to defend himself and avoid the dagger.

At the very end, when the north takes back FULL control of the Aso villa, the slogan will return to status quo of "One Nigeria" chants from the north!

Yoruba no go see wetin HIT them

Honestly, apart from Yoruba Moslems on Nairaland, the youthful Yorubas and handful of elderly ones have seen the truth in Kanu's agitation.
I watched a video of one Yoruba pastor telling the Nigerian government to listen to Kanu to avoid the impending chaos.

A barren north that cannot even do without the Igbo's or stand on their own will be chest beating, dishing out threats and counter threats

Yo sorry ass is gon be dumped priddy soon

no part of d country is barren just untapped. And dnt be selfish with ur views

MediumStout:
It's a shame that the whole industrious igbo tribe has been reduced to mere Unity beggars by that fool called Nnamdi Kanu. There are so many evidences to show that he has violated his bail conditions. Osinbajo is too soft for my liking. If Buhari were in the country, the army and DSS would have invaded Kanu's family house to Re-arrest the compound fool

well sometimes smart could be mistaken for soft

amjoseph19:
Since returning from prison, Have ever seen him giving out hate speech. He made some bad speeches then, he was arrested. He is now more civil.


Ok, you think that only the Northerners has the right to dish out xenophobic statement, only them have the right to kill without the law catching up on them.

just this year alone, the deeper life woman who was slaughtered like a pig by the northerners, the abuja woman nko? How many of them has the DSS arrested nor a competent court sentenced?

No one has monopoly for violence.

i get ur grievance. but dnt use i solated cases to blanket a whole region though. if u a leavin in d land of snakes u must be weary of how u take ur steps. For d agitator himsef, he has sown those seed befor now.

Nonaira1:
Other than the elites, which igbo is bothered.

Even Nnamdi Kanu that you lots screech about even THANKED the Awera youths for the Oct 1st quit notice

All they did was prove us right and show the fools whom still believe in this useless nation that we were right since day 1.

Cobtinue deluding yourself that Igbos are bothered. If we were bothered, that'll be IPOB focus since the announcement. Since the announcement, other than Igbo politicians and their greedy aides, which igbo have given 2 f2ks. Heck Umuzurike was bombarded by igbo groups for even going up there to speak.

Continue deluding yourself

oga big is better o

chineduemmao:
Thanks bro i like you. Last year i attended a symposium title power use and abuse (mind you it has nothing to do with biafra, it was not an ipob or massob gathering) one of the presenters Dr. X said that one mistake the igbo elders did was pushing ojukwu to declare biafra and engage a war, he suggested that an external based struggled should have been a perfect approach because

1. The international support biafra lacked during the war could have been a reverse

2. Because ojukwu as a millitary governor of Enugu a state in "Nigeria" was tracherous of him to support the break up of the nation he pledged allegiance to serve. Thus his role could have been different probably A-middle-man. Now you claim ipob lacks political support; who do we even call on that note? who is ready to sacrifice? we must be very careful with the way we see critical issues as casual... for any serving governor of any state to clearly state his support for ipob is in our dope mind "treacherous" otherwise why do you think they are all keeping mute? instead okorocha is even bold enough to state he is not part of the movement, publicly engaging in such a movement is a sacrifice for any currently serving government official he eighter loses his job or his life but he must lose something. Ipob does not need political hoodlums or semi illiterates parading themselves in the name of governors or whatever because they are all desperate for power and a chunk of the national cake. Having said that, what ipob needs are lawyers and intellectuals passionate enough and ready to do anything to make sure their principles are maintained and their course achieved even if it will cost them their lives. Uwazuruike was and still is i am personally happy for the emergence of ipob in the face of massob it will rekindle the flames in the latter if there is still any. If ipob can find such person/s in the current serving political circle it will be an advantage but definetly not the determinant because they (politicians) are not yet ready.

have u done ur home work very well? The viability and d fall out?

EzeUche:
I am from the Niger Delta and people from the Niger Delta do not like Nigeria either.

then unite, why so much subdivision?

amjoseph19:
Na Normal trend on Nairaland to be an Igbo man and talk against Biafra. infact I know one guy from ogun state here in nairand he is claiming, he is from anambra. we knw una.
Ojukwu opted for physical war, u guys said it was wrong.
uwazurike went for peace, his followers were killed, he was arrested and stamped down.
Kanu is here with civil disobedience Which is not illegal. Una still dey complain.

What do you guys want??

is hate speeches civil disobidience?

Adiola:
who cares election will not hold dare the order and blame yourself ..its a threat yeah

b very careful mind d seed u are sowing

achi4u:
This is why every well meaning Nigeria should support Nnamdi Kanu and the disintegration of this nation.

If you go into the street of Nigeria and ask, who is a Niger Deltan?
95% of respondents will likely fail the question.
The Reason for this write up is that some Peoples ignorantly love to use the phrase "IGBOS and NIGER DELTANS".
Its wrong and an embarrasement to the intellectual mindset.
-
First, What is a Delta?
A Delta is a Land area where a River spread into diverse tributuaries before emptying into an Ocean or Sea.
-
Niger Delta is the delta of River Nigeria.
The USA has Mississippi Delta.
The China has Yangtze Delta.
The Egypt has Nile delta.
And so on.
-
In Nigeria, How Is A Niger Deltan identified, lets examine it in three ways and then solve the Igbos and Niger Delta Question.
-
1) Niger Delta as Oil Producing Areas?- If Niger Delta is classified by Oil Producing Areas, that mean Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Urhobos etc are part of it.
- Yorubas produce Oil in Ondo state.
- Igbos have Oil producing areas in Ukwa areas of Abia, Egbema, Asa/Ndoki, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ndoni, Omuma, Etche etc.
-
So if it is classified by Oil producing areas, that means all ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are Niger Deltans.
-
2) Niger Deltans As South South States?- This is the classification many use to define Niger Deltan.
And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it.
I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state.
I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan.
Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation.
Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock.
So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it.
-
3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location?
If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location.
If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta.
-
My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD.
There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA".
Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba.
-
The days of divide and conquer are fading away.
I am an Asa/Ndoki person.
Oyigbo is my LGA!
Rivers is my state.
IGBO is my ethnic nation.
And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc.

And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it.
I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state.
I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan.
Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation.
Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock.
So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it.

3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location?
If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location.
If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta.

My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD.
There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA".
Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba.

The days of divide and conquer are fading away.
I am an Asa/Ndoki person.
Oyigbo is my LGA!
Rivers is my state.
IGBO is my ethnic nation.
And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc.
Thank you all.

U have a cobra, python, mamba. Now because u are a python with a yellowish tail does it change d fact dat u are a python in d snake country? No! U are just a variant.!

And if Nigeria is never restructured, what will you do? When Scotland went to a referendum in 2014, do you think they didnt know that Britain "bigger and better platform to thrive"?

Its all about self determination

have u agreed among urself? Have u done wide consultation within and without?
