Amigoss: They should demand for more accountability from their leaders now. How can their state be in that kind of mess despite collecting 13% Derivation as an oil producing state and they are okay with that? 1 Like |

CrystalTiger: I think the people of the state are just too docile; they just accept every nonsense their governors have been doing. And funny enough, if they had not carved them out of Rivers state, they would've been crying marginalization today o. 4 Likes |

popizaino: It's actually a shame because most governors are highly educated people ranging from PhD holders, trained professionals like doctors, engineers, business managers, ex-bankers, professors, etc. |

CrystalTiger: This country's problem just defies logic. A small state like Bayelsa with so much water bodies can easily generate electricity through investment in hydropower plants. Instead everybody just mount on top national grid. When I was in the north, I kept asking why can't northern governors invest in solar energy on a large scale considering the kind of sun that shines in that part of the country? By 7-7.30 pm u will see the sun still in the sky. As much as FG's ministry of power has its own fault, some of these governors of states need to start doing something at their own respective state levels if the country will ever develop beyond the level it is currently 6 Likes |

iamoyindamola: I donāt how true it is , but someone told me the reason why GTB is having the most issues with this upgrade is because they were using a customized app/platform . Now that they need to move to another platform itās a big problem for them unlike those who were using a general app/platform. I am not a tech guy so I donāt really understand much of what the guy said. But he said other banks will not face as much issue as GTB when they are moving to new platform |

raumdeuter: If I was that Egbon, I would be mad too ! $50k is not small money in naija currency at any point in time. If he wasnāt in America he wouldāve died of stroke in naija losing that amount of money to stock market . As regards the stockbroker guy, I think almost all stockbrokers are still dealing with the aftermath of the great economic depression. Till my old manās last breath , he still talks about millions he lost due to his stock broker not selling when he ought to during that economic depression . He said the guy is nowhere to be found . Iām sure that guy too would have several people looking for him. This Nigeria ehnā¦. Itās best u just learn from the experience of others . I avoid investment in Nigerian stock like plague considering inflation rate , Nigerian factor, weak corporate governance and historical events |

raumdeuter: My old man bought Daar communications shares when it was listed on NSE. Few years down the line , he always cussed Dokpesi under his breath for running them shareholders streets . You see that ur first paragraph ehn, same thing will happen to banks with this upcoming consolidation exercise . Almost all the banks sold shares and people were being sweet talk to part with their hard earned money to ābuy a part of the bank ā by virtue of buying their shares . All the banks are in a race to meet up with the new capital requirements as released by CBN but we all know that not all the banks will survive the consolidation exercise . Some of these banks that raised funds will die natural death in the coming years while some will be acquired by bigger banks . It has happened before . The banks who die natural death like Heritage bank did recently , their shareholders will get nothing for their troubles while those who will get acquired; some of the shares value will drop . Some people who have 10,000 units of shares will see it drop to 4,500 right before their eyes . Iāve seen all sorts of magic with Nigerian owned businesses listed on NSE. We pay lip service to corporate governance in this country yet shareholders keep losing their fortune through holding shares in badly managed companies |

raumdeuter: You have successfully contributed to the betterment of the country by leaving the pension fund for us. Iām sure Buhari wouldāve borrowed it in his first term But on a serious note, I always wonder what will happen to all the pension funds in the RSA accounts of thousands of Nigerians who have japa and didnāt look back. For example my former colleague ; his parents have 3 kids . His two brothers japa before him leaving their pension funds behind . My former colleague japa with his wife who worked in an oil company and both of them also left their pension funds behind in their RSA account cos they obviously canāt access it yet in their 30ās. Iām sure they donāt even care about the pensions now sef, but how can government or PFA hold on to the funds just like that ? |

raumdeuter: Personally I think investing in Nigerian company stocks is a loss making venture . Even when the economy was still better , I see buying Nigerian stock as you just giving them your funds to run their business while their management team do as they like with your money . Iāve seen management team of big PLCās live the best lives , ride the best cars , go on all expenses paid ābusiness tripsā all over the world , pay themselves the best salaries and then pay paltry dividends to the so called āshareholdersā who are supposed to be the owners of the business . I see this through the lens of my old man who is a very strong believer in investing in shares . Iāve been to enough AGMās to see that the so called management team of these PLCās donāt really regard the opinion of the shareholders like that sef. All these was when the economy was in better shape and these companies were making profit. The companies in the attached are companies that always keep my old man glued to business news on TV while we were growing up . He keeps monitoring their performance in the stock market through business and will be muttering to himself words like ā If I see small money now I will buy more Nigerian Breweries stock ā¦.. I should buy Nestle stock by next year Insha Allah ā ā¦etc Now those companies made losses in 2023 and Iām not even sure they wonāt do the same for 2024 . Imagine what the fate of shareholders who are hoping for dividend and share bonus will be like . Shebi it is even when they make profit they will declare dividend for shareholders . While GTB was selling shares few months back , one of their relationship managers who came to our office was trying to preach to me about what they are selling. . I just told her to save her breath and go hustle another person cos I will rather eat my money than give them to run their business in the name of āinvesting ā . Till date when she comes around , she still looks at me with one kind evil eye š 3 Likes

OkpaNsukkaisBae: There's a reason why I said it is the police investigation that can actually confirm what happened. Naija confra that usually post confirm updates on cult clashes (including the earlier one in Awka this week) claimed it is not a cult clash and that most of the victims are Hausa men. Abi Hausa man Don dey join cult for Anambra?

iamoyindamola: It's possible. For example there is a large community of Hausas in Idi Araba which plays host to Unilag's college of medicine(LUTH). There is a large community of Hausas in Okoko very close to LASU. God forbid if such tragedy happens in any of the two locations outsiders might be saying it is strange that Hausas are living so close to a school area, but it is what it is. If you notice, there are burnt bikes in the pictures/videos from the scene circulating online. |

iamoyindamola: I just checked Naija confra Telegram now. It is being alleged that this is not a cult clash; rather targeted killing of Hausa guys. I guess it is left for police authorities to do proper investigation to confirm whether it is cult clash or inter tribal fracas |

OkpaNsukkaisBae: Below is the explanation on the "Arabic" inscription on the naira notes. It has nothing to do With Saudi Arabia The apex bank said, āThe naira notes retained the inscriptions with Ajami since 1973 when the name of the Nigerian currency was changed to naira from pounds. It is actually foolishness on the part of the people behind the BRICS currency to choose one language in a multi ethnic country like Nigeria that is divided along several tribal/ethnic lines. From the reactions since yesterday one can see it is counterproductive.Several southerners will kick and their anger is justified considering the history of the country |

GloriousGbola: It will be interesting to see how Tinubu will navigate these murky waters. If word on the streets is right, it appears as tho it was Buhari that pushed the agenda of Nigeria partnering BRICS in the last days of his presidency. Considering our various loan obligations to the west and their institutions like IMF, World Bank etc; I can't but wonder how this so called partnership will augur well for us in the nearest future. |

Itsrm: Just yesterday we were discussing how bag of rice was sold for N10k around 2013/2014. Even if one does not understand Time value of money, one can have a vivid idea of what N5m can buy in 2013 compared to what it can buy in 2024. |

https://www.nairaland.com/8248174/hausa-language-new-brics-currency This guy is linking the Hausa name on BRICS new currency to Russian flag waved by protesters in the North during the recent EndBadGovernance protests. He's saying it appears the Northerners are down with Russia/BRICS while Southerners are down the West/America. I guess the BRICS people didn't do their homework well enough to really know how divided as a people we are before writing Nigeria in Hausa language on their new currency . That move alone can jeopardize whatever gain they hope to achieve with Nigeria partnering them. |

Itsrm: This is one of the issues with the contributory scheme despite being better than the previous Pension system pre-2004. If by 2013 the employee stops contributing to the scheme due to retirement and he or she is due to receive the lump sum immediately after retirement; then there should be interest on the lump sum for as long as the PFA delays in payment. Like in ur mum's case, 2013 to 2024 is 11 good years of interest that should have accrued on the N5m lump sum. Unfortunately, that is not so. It only means the PFA or whoever warehoused the lump sum for 11 years has been doing all sorts with the money and not giving the retired employee any form of interest is just robbery. |
