Typical Urchins, if the rich indulge in reckless borrowing they would become poor overnight.

Nigeria would still remain a 3rd world country because of ppl like U who support tribalism and sentiments over reason and logic.

Naturally, I won't respond to your type of mention but calm down and take a chill pill and go get the most basic financial literacy book " Rich dad, poor dad" by Robert Kiyosaki maybe after that you would have been able to learn that money in the n bank is nothing but just a number and you can manipulate debt in your favour....

When a poor man hears about debt, they run helter-skelter and even go to the extreme to avoid one of the world's basic secrets to prosperity...

The rich view debt as a very strong financial instrument to accumulate wealth as they know everything the bank claims to have as cash reserve is nothing but figures and are only propped up by the gullible ones who think saving money is the right way to accumulate wealth...

When you save money, you barely make any reasonable interest on it rather the bank invest your money in well-calculated high-risk debt funds and other financial instruments, make interest on your money but share little to no profit with you, that's why savings interest rate are always the lowest in the history of financial appropriations

When money is borrowed for the right reasons under reasonable repayment structures and invested in capital expenditures, servicing such debt becomes less of a burden as the project under every reasonable circumstance will have a service life that far exceeds human life..

Mr Jandor either knows the truth but playing to the gallery to appeal to the emotions of the uninformed or he is not well informed financially.....

Asiwaju killed him

Where is your prove?..

Nigerians and conspiracy theories....No one bothers to think outside the box but what ever silly or lazy narrative that suits their ideology is pushed to the fore and when lies are allowed free hand for so long, they start sounding like the truth.....

Who was Funsho Williams's business associates?

If he was killed as a result of political issues, his wife won't want to be nominated in his place....

Make we dey think sometimes that's why we have brains and don't let us be pushed like as a fool....

When I see the implementation of technologies like this in Nigeria, I am always happy and at the same time concerned about an average Nigerian exploiting these systems.

One easy way to digitise payment is via an NFC-enabled contactless payment system which has been around since 1995, the fact that almost everyone nowadays has an NFC chipset embedded in their smartphone makes it a simple technology to implement, but you see our dubious nature will always prevent banks and other financial institutions to deploy these on debit and credit cards and also deprive our nation from future emerging fintech systems in the future...

There are a whole lot of financial technologies that our nature as a group of people will prevent us from benefiting from. These technologies can make us an almost cashless society and help us fight our perpetual increasing inflation rate but you see, our overly "hustling" nature won't allow companies to bring this to our domain

This is a step in the right direction from NAIRAXI...

I wish it would be possible for you to carry me along in this cybersecurity stuff. I really love the job

Are you comfortable with intrusive technologies? If you are I can point you in the right direction...

I love the Quoran's effort in trying to paper over the crack but haven led a good number of Digital forensics investigations as a Cybersecurity expert, I can boldly say "Nigeria is the scam capital of the World"... There is no large-scale scam syndicate in the world that won't have a single Nigerian at the top tier of their structure.....

I was opportune to work on the Kinahan group case and as small as Ireland is both in terms of size and population, the group have a huge flow of cash transactions made possible by over 100 Nigerians working with them either as foot soldiers or signal module managers...The largest representation is from the over 1000 people that were indicted. They are quite smart that it took a combination of resources from Ireland, the UK, the US and Switzerland to get to the root of their deals

In all fairness, we represent the biggest and largest scammers colony per capita in the world and that's not anecdotal experience it is statistically correct

You may feel bad reading this but " fact don't care about how you feel".... It is what it is!!!

The way we love to spin events to suit our narrative is really disturbing. Her act may be a case of unintentional omission or she had been earlier briefed that the President being a Muslim doesn't shake women....

Propaganda flowing through us as a people is going to cause us a lot of problems but in the present and in the future....

My anecdotal experience is that often you won't know but if the mood around her intimates sexual arousal, you may see her blush; this is easy to see in light-complexioned girls while the ones that get wets heavily may request to use the bathroom.

Truth be told, only a few ladies will behave like a guy when they are aroused, the majority of them will still carefully select who they lay with and only a sizeable number amongst them are randy and won't mind especially if there is an instant gratification be it money, quest to satisfy the immediate urge, fame, power, vengeance, fun etc

I have tried as much as possible to be neutral and access each presidential candidate based on previous performance while in power and their current wit in managing the numerous issues that confront us as a nation but I am not only disappointed but shocked to share the same country with some people. I guess it's Prof. Wole Soyinka that first said the level of intelligence across the length and breadth of the country is a concern for the future...

For a group of people to believe that the president of the most populous black Nation in the world was Dead and was replaced by a Sudanese Double baffles me and the way they won't give room for any modicum of knowledge or logic while debating important issues is a slap on the body of Education that produced every one of us...

We need to do something with this intellectual decadence that is roaming across the Nation, let's put Logic above emotions first in all our dealings

Do not be deceived, we ( not only Nigerian, the black race in general) are behind in the best metrics used to measure progressive races in the world...

When I was doing my transition programmes into IT, I was the only black person in the class, two-thirds were Indian, a couple of Vietnamese guys and the rest were whites

It was a very intensive programme, I was proud to say I held my own among the ranks but to give credence to where it belongs, those Indian guys are beast of logical and analytical thinkers and anyone that knows one or two things about coding knows that's all you need to be a good programmer...

In all fairness, they are dominantly well represented in major fields of the world and they are a force to reckon with any sector you find them but the Naija spirit lives on.....


We will continue to do beyond our limitations

We are not so intelligent a group of people which is obvious in the way we express our folly thinking emotion overrules logic on matters..... If you don't understand or can't comprehend a matter, just move to the one you understand there is no shame in it.....

The simple explanation is that Nigeria wants to set up a National Carrier in a 5: 49: 46 per cent ( it is a well-documented fact that National airlines run by Governments are financial potholes) so they want it to be an almost privately owned investment, so they invited tenders from the public and only Ethiopian airlines ( which is the biggest airline in Africa run as a 100% private entity) showed interest. In FG's wisdom, they don't want Ethiopian Airlines the full control of the " proposed Nigerian Airline" hence they sought out private investors to bring 95% of the investment fund while they control 5%, which is a sensible deal in as much as it will be an odd number of investors....




This is the crust of the matter.....

Now let the "mention" begin and let's see how far people are to logic and how close people are to emotion

Lol Alpha male? Redpilled? The weakest and most insecure of them all.

Women will tell you the same -- that men are naturally more deceptive than women. So who is right?

...You don't need to read all these but if you want to have a feel of my personality and the reason for my submission, read it, please......

I am neither an Alpha male nor a Redpilled kind of man. I believe in love and I believe in being the best you can be for your woman. My heart has been broken many times and I have broken people's hearts too such is the irony of a dating life and from those situations in life I have learned and unlearned ideologies that have moulded me into a good man...You don't need to take my word for it as you don't know me.

I live in the part of the world where more often than not men are judged or even incarcerated in tandem to report from female folks. A society where you are judged irrespective of the truth but on the quality of the accusation legal team...

This is not a battle of who is right or wrong but you can bear me witness, women most times will enjoy sympathy or empathy over any situation compared to men, this is not to portray women as weaker vessels but it's like an instant obligation placed on the society to protect this gender. Over time, the very bad of this gender have learned how to manipulate these obligations in their favour with all sorts of emotional appeals

I will stop here for now!!!

Are you a man? If yes, your statement is weak.

Naturally, I don't reply to mentions that ooze presumptive ideas about my person...Neither do I know you nor you know my story and if I may be allowed to make a simple assumption about people like you that will be that the best of the logic of your type is the least of my psychological strength as a man...

Although issues like this are not for public consumption but the truth here is that you won't know the full gist of the matter between your parent until none of them are no more responsible for your upkeep.....

Women are naturally more deceptive than men and more often than not, society have made men that express their feelings to be weaklings, I don't know your story but will advise to be cautious and make the best of the situation..

A broken home should not make you a broke and broken person......

Using " "(quotation) marks around a word or sentence means that the word or sentence does not belong to the user but to an entirely different source....CNN are allowed to use the words in between the marks because they are literals from another person and their is nothing wrong with it

This is a case of "zero integrity" mixed with a lack of ideology which is a problem that cut across every fabric of our society...

Everyone just wants to stay relevant in the loop of current news that's why we have so many back-and-forth submissions...Lagos State has made its stand on the new regulation known, it is left to people to contest it in court if they are aggrieved in any way...

But with my little personal experience, the governments of those countries that everyone wants to Japa to will penalise you for parking outside your business premises without a proper bay on-loading and off-loading permit...

I don't mean to discredit his legitimacy to contest for the presidency but listening to him from afar depicts a man who I thought is transitioning us from the materialistic old-fashioned campaign strategies to an issue-based campaign but from the moment I devoted some time to follow up on his antecedents and live interviews, I realised he is a proper Nigerian politician and a one-trick pony at best

He has become highly predictable in his speeches that it's very easy to liken him to those students who memorise irrelevant vocabularies to impress people with lower mental capacity than them.

There is no sense in quoting figures that a basic google search will prove wrong, you can go away with that in a beer parlour argument but not when you are contesting for the presidency of a country.

SimplySEA:


That's one way to see it. Another way could be that he is riding on the momentum of the Obedient trend to advertise and get more customers.

It could just be a smart move!���

That is a sensible submission but I guess a "wash one, get the next wash free" will have made a better business strategy

His sweat is not in vain

Publicity only is something

We say no to Old and Sick useless Basta rds

Naturally, I don't respond to mentions but I will oblige you...

I want you to sit down calmly and think about how his effort is going to contribute to his family finances in the next few months this promo will be on

Think about the volume of cars he will be washing for free and reason out how much he is going to waste( Soap, water, TIME) on a politician who won't even acknowledge him in any of his speech

Think about how many people who have previously indulged themselves in stupid and wasteful adventures of this nature and their stories today

Facts don't give an f..k how you feel, it is what it is.....

There are so many things we get wrong as Nigerians...Putting emotions ahead of logic is common across the very same fabric that holds our society.

A man once walked hundreds of kilometres for Buhari, and developed leg issues now he is on his
own

Nigerians love freebies and this man will wash more cars than his destiny ever bargained for...

These folks don't deserve your sweat...

Power of photoshop...

The knowledge of graphic editing is going to ruin this election...The moment you see any "grainy" or "compressed" picture to depict a point, just know it has passed through some sort of manipulation..

Must everything be politics to Nigerians?....

I know people working in two of the radio stations, they are being owed more than 14 months' salary and you expect NBC not to revoke their license...

A radio station that can't pay the salaries of its staff, how will that station be able to renew licenses.

Most business looks profitable on paper but by the time you fully indulge in it, you will understand the degree of financial own goal you have committed that's not to talk about the financial drain your Nigerian employees will cost you; From deliberately adulterating diesel causing your diesel generator to break down frequently and your maintenance cost rising every month to mismanagement of allocated funds either by deliberately stealing from you or through proxies whose services you need to run your business

The scenarios aren't the same, please. One was fighting for Justice for a region feeding the whole country with her resources. What are the others fighting for

I know this question will pop up, but if those agitations were genuinely for the emancipation of the Niger Delta people, why have we not seen any improvement in the standard of living of an average Niger Deltan...What you fail to recognise is that rebels only use the frustration of the common man as a reason for their agitation whereas in the real sense, the leaders of those groups are only after their very own pockets and that is common in the history of insurgency against any nation in the world...

I have attached a link to the activities of major rebel groups in the world and their transformation over time for you to understand my point and most especially read about the Sudan Liberation Movement of Abdelwahid El Nur (SLM-Nur), who has a similar objective as the MEND group...

Most people wonder where the genesis of insecurity in this country started and students of history will say the "moment rebels from a particular region were rewarded with an amnesty program by Presidents Musa Yar'adua and Goodluck Ebele Johnathan" was when the Federal Government lost control of the security rudder of this country.

We have seen how a certain Northern Cleric; Sheikh Ahmed Guni has been soliciting for Amnesty openly, the same way leaders of the South-South region; the likes of Chief Edwin Clark openly championed the course of amnesty for the different groups with the MEND movement. The reward for those movements is cash disbursement in exchange for pipeline security, a well-crafted siphoning of money into the hands of a selected group of people who have not in any way created any worthwhile infrastructure in their region upon the amount granted to them so far but thankfully we don't hear of pipeline bombing or kidnapping of expatriate again.

Having said this, I wonder why people complain about Guni, his foot warlords and their actions without seeing what the end goals of their movement are. I am very sure, the social vices of these groups will be reduced if not stopped, the moment a full-blown amnesty is declared for them.

Insecurity from the South East is gradually rearing its ugly head and from all indications, there will need to be an amnesty to be declared at some point which most likely will start with a Presidential pardon for the movers and shakers of the movement.

Disbursement cajoled in the form of security contracts like this will continue and if care is not taken, there may be rebel groups formations in other regions of the country but I am almost certain that the South West will probably be the last due to their liberal approach to issues; I guess that's why they were regarded as cowards...

Dr Kemi Olunloyo suffers from psychotic grandiosity which is one of the symptoms of Schizophrenia which explains why she often thinks outside the box and won't follow the bandwagon perspective of an issue...

Listening to her with an unbiased prejudice, you will hear an intelligent, coherent and educated personality with bits of self-exaltation mixed with financial adjuration that slightly derails her off topic but always gets herself back on track as soon as possible.

She gives a different ideology and provides conspiratorial reasoning to those who care and she is more than ready to say the truth than any other Nigerian journalist out there. She is the best investigative journalist we have and David seems to be another investigative journalist; who will go to any length to get dirt on his enemies

Dr Olunloyo doesn't care whose ox is gored, David is selective!!!

Lagos is head and shoulders above every other state in this country; my state included. You can argue it's because it was formerly the Federal seat of power but let's be truthful to ourselves, the kind of political leaders and administration that have Governed Lagos since the inception of democracy are more progressive than any other state in Nigeria.

It is glaring to see that each administration in Lagos always outperforms the previous administration which suggests there is a Grandmaster plan drafted somewhere that guides their modus operandi.

Lagos is truly a centre of excellence that is so synonymous with the progress that it's now more of a cultural thing to leave your state to make it in Lagos and our Nollywood movie Industry is full of tales of individuals relocating to Lagos to "make it". Though not everyone will follow this route to success a large number of us will be forever grateful to the architects of modern-day Lagos. I had my breakthrough in Lagos, started as a conductor up to "HERE" in a FAANG company working in a team of 13 outstanding professionals who paid fortunes for their education while I enjoyed the most subsidized quality Federal Government of Nigeria education from the University of Lagos.

I guess this premise will enjoy a good quantitative exploration to suggest reasons why Lagos remains the undisputed financial, social, and Entertainment capital of Nigeria...

" I never knew a man could have so many stories about one thing, he had a different story for different eyes, How can he remember who he's talking to"

We are in a age where information is like currency, Gone are those days people are impressed by words of mouth but when you make blatant mistakes, they will take you to the cleaners....

Finnish people will say" only open your mouth when there is something important to talk about but do so only when it is all truth....

If you guys listen to the commentary, you will hear the commentators saying the PGMOL agreed to make the league more physical than ever before which is obvious in the amount of tackles that would have resulted in yellow cards or red cards been overlooked so far this season...

The number of yellow cards so far after Gameweek 2 is the lowest in the last 10 seasons..
