We are in serious problem in Nigeria, Nigerians can't read, majority of the commenters didn't read or digest the article before rushing to comment. Are this the leaders of tomorrow. You will find the most stupid Nigerians on Nairaland. The article clearly states that *investigations at the scene revealed that the BRT bus headed inward Iyana Ipaja in an attempt to avoid crushing a commercial motorcyclist with passengers plying the BRT corridor illegally, collided with an oncoming BRT bus.*

Overweight rodent found itself in trouble after it tried to squeeze through a small gap in a sewer cover.

A multi-agency rescue operation has taken place in the town of Bensheim in Germany after a tubby rat became stuck in a manhole cover.

The rat, still plump with winterspeck – which translates literally as winter bacon and refers to extra pounds piled on in the colder months – became stuck after it tried to squeeze through a small gap in the sewer cover.

The Auerbach volunteer fire brigade was called in, as was the Rhein Neckar animal rescue team, and together a team of about eight rescuers was able to raise the cover and pull the rat free.

“The rat had quite a lot of winter fat and got stuck on its hips — nothing was going forward and nothing back,” animal rescuer Michael Sehr told news agency DPA.

Photos of the rat showed its head and rotund torso poking out of the hole, with its bottom half obscured by the sewer cover. In one image it seemed to almost be calling for hilfe.

The fire brigade said the rat escaped unhurt.

“The animal was subsequently released again into the wild. The fire department’s operation was completed after a good 25 minutes,” said the Auerbach fire department.

After the successful rescue, two young girls presented the animal rescue team with a gift to say thank you – a drawing of a rat surrounded by love hearts, with the word “danke!” written on it.

Sehr told DPA he did not have any qualms about rescuing the rat.

“Even animals that are hated by many people deserve respect,” he said.

The firm said it would be offering 980 million ordinary shares of 50 kobo each at N2.50 per share to existing shareholders.

Market is reacting to the May & Baker rights. It traded at N2.55 earlier today but it's currently trading around N2.31. It's a good price to go in. Definitely buying more, not sure i will buy above N2:50 though.

TLAX:


That rights issue get as e be. With abundant supply at the market price of N2.30, the rights issue price of N2.50 looks expensive. May be interesting for those looking for control though.

The difference is the brokerage fees. Using Morgan's platform will save you more that 70% of transaction cost. Which could make lots of difference.

Thunderlicious:


Yes ooo. That's the reason I left Meristem even though they have excellent customer service. I lost a lot of money because of Meritade's slow and inconsistent trading platform. Morgan's platform is very fast and responsive which is why I am currently processing a new account with TRW Stockbrokers as they have the same platform with Morgan. I don't have any reason to contact my broker (I hardly even make withdrawals from my trading account) as long as I am able to trade myself.

Morgan is fully back now!

Chibuking81:

They want to sell and return our money before they show us the real account.
I pray that they should not buy again with our money after they sell.
By Monday we shall resume again, when they might have return our money.

gambei:

You guys are strongly defensive of morgan capital. are you in any way affiliated? Let my man vent...false or otherwise. conspiracy theories are allowed ... there is no smoke without fire.. this is nigeria

And you wonder why Nigeria is in a state of comatose, people just chill in the corner of their homes and contort obvious lies and fallacies to destroy others and you wonder why God is not answering your prayers. If you have any suspicion please report to the NSE and if you have any facts on wrong doing just spill it here. Its not fair my brother. Look we are all not happy with MorganCapital.

Chibuking81:

I strongly believe that they use our money and shut us out from gaining access to our account, bro BullBearMkt infact this act is manipulation senior brother.
Ok you suggest we complain to them, the reply they will give, will be that of covering up their act.
I believe that they see and listen to our complains here.
They should better do something, before something will do them.

This is most unfair and you know it. It is impossible for any stockbroking firm to use clients' money to trade themselves without NSE not getting to know and the consequences are dire. Its' called co-mingling. Even though i agree that they have a very weak communication system, you cannot accuse them of fraud just for the sake of it.

your location ?

adeyinkapiggs:
I have all kind of breed of weaners, growers, pregnant sows, about to cross.. I also offer free consultation for new and existing pig farmers based of my knowledge in piggery only, you are free to ask me any question and I can be of help.. I also buy at any stage if you are willing to sell..

Please house, i need 100 weaners, preferably at Oke Aro, Lagos. Minimum supply is 10. Please reach me on 08160106231.

got this message from Morgan just now.

DEAR ??

MorganCapital Securities is back!!

We are pleased to inform your our Dear esteemed clients that MorganCapitalitrade connection with the NSE FIX has been restored.

NSE suspended MorganCapital Securities from trading activities on 21st October 2016 in order to ensure that the succession issues of top management staff which questioned our Corporate governance were appropriately and conclusively resolved. During these 4 weeks suspension period, The board and top management in collaboration with the Nigerian stock exchange worked together to achieved a better and stronger institution.

We want to reiterate again that our suspension has nothing to do with liquidity. Now MorganCapital is even stronger.

Consequently, with the approval of the Board of Directors, MorganCapital has appointed seasoned professionals to fill the top management slots as they bring to bear a combined age experience of over 40years in the Nigerian Capital Market.

Morgancapital is back, better, and stronger. Our brokerage remains 0.25%. The sponsored access our clients have enjoyed over the years has been restored. Our itrade remains the first and the most efficient trading platform offering this service. We assure you of our resolve to continue to align with global best and regulatory practices as it relates to transparency, honesty, and integrity.

While we were disconnected, the market volatility increased thus resulting in a downturn. However, our financial advisory unit is ready to provide the necessary support to clients who need assistance with portfolio management and portfolio re-structuring.

Please contact our analysts:

Teniola Kurunmi - teniolak@morgancapitalgroup.com

chimchris247:
guys is morgan back?

Morgan will commence trading tomorrow. Confirmed.

ExLaidback:


I called them this morning and they said they've finally sorted all issues with the NSE, so they'll be opening very soon. He couldn't explain what very soon means though. Meanwhile I finalized the process of moving to Meristem yesterday, supposed to start trading with them today. AAAArrrrggghhh!!!

They charge N2,500 every calendar year. At least thats what they charge on my own account.

Justcul:
Hi all, Morgan debited me over N5,000 How much do they charge for annual service?

Really ?? are you sure its not for two years i was debited once o. NGN 2500.

Justcul:
Hi all, Morgan debited me over N5,000 How much do they charge for annual service?

Lol...maybe you have offended them. They actually treat me well sha. They respond to my mails promptly. Always make sure you copy their customercare email in your correspondence with them.

stokfrick:

This is becoming a serious problem and its very bad! Very poor communication between Morgan and its clients. We keep complaining about their customer service and their management does nothing about it. Bnsitl I think we should let them know we are no longer comfortable with this.the should improve on their public relations dept.

You don't even need a kobo to open an account with them and fund it anytime you want to trade.

ihedioramma:
is it possible to open account with them #10,000? if not what is last price they can use to open the account?.

By Bolaji Tunji

OLABISI Ajala. The name may not readily ring a bell to the younger generation of Nigerians, but the older generation would certainly
remember him as the happy-go-lucky bearded globe-trotter and socialite who put the nation on the world map, as he traversed the globe on his motor scooter. Ajala explored the unexplored and charted the hitherto uncharted areas of the world. He wined and dined with heads of state and leaders including the late Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, first Republic Prime Minister of Nigeria; the late Paudit Nehru of India; the late Abdel Nasser of Egypt; the late Golda Meir of Israel; the late Marshall Ayub Khan of Pakistan; the late President Makarios of Greece; the late General Ignatuis Acheampong of Ghana and the late Odinga Oginga, one-time vice-president of Kenya. The list, indeed, is endless.

But on the February 2, 1999, the man fondly known as "Ajala travel" died. He died in penury. The world famous Ajala died unsung and
unrecognised. His grave in central Lagos is no different from any other. For more than a year, Ajala suffered. He had a stroke which paralysed
his left limb. But his army of children were not there to give him succour. He only had two of them around, Olaolu Ajala, a 20-year-old
student of Baptist Academy, Lagos, and Bolanle Ajala, his 17-year-old daughter who had just finished her senior secondary education at the
Baptist High School, Bariga, Lagos. With him also in his last hour was another teenager, 14-year-old Wale Anifowoshe. Wale was especially fond of him. He kept all Ajala's money, the little there was.

Some of his children who could not be with him include Dante, Femi, Lisa and Sydney all of whom are based in Australia. They are the
children of his Australian wife, Joan. Some of his other children are also spread around the globe. There are Taiwo and Kehinde in the United States as well as Bisola in England. But all were not around to bid their father a final goodbye except Olaolu and Bolanle.

Indeed, it is a sad end for a man whose scooter is now a national monument. None of his numerous wives was around to bid him goodbye to
the world beyond. His first wife, Alhaja Sade, could not find time during the year-long sickness of her husband until he finally died.
She lives in Ikotun, a suburb of Lagos. "We told her that he was sick and she told us she would come, but we never saw her," Olaolu said.

He was not sure whether she is aware that her husband is dead. Joan, only got in touch with him through correspondence. There are also Mrs.
Toyin Ajala in England and Mrs. Sherifat Ajala, mother of his last daughter, Bolanle. But they were not around to tend to the man when he was battling with his sickness. A neighbour in Bariga who spoke on condition of anonymity said: "He
could have survived if he had had adequate care." Adequate care was indeed far from the late globe-trotter. In no other place was this manifested than his residence, a rented apartment in a two-storey building on Adenira Street, Bariga.

Climbing two flights of stairs to the top floor, one is immediately confronted with the way life had treated Ajala. A passage leads into a 16-by-12 feet sitting room. The sitting room, devoid of carpet has a table with about five locally made iron chairs in a corner. This, the reporter gathered, serves as the dining table. An old black and white television set sits uncomfortably in all ill-constructed shelf. The cushion on the sofa hurts the buttock as it has become flat. The curtains on the windows of the two bedroom flats show signs of old age. It is indeed a story
of penury.

But his two children in Nigeria still hold fond memories of their father. They eagerly answered questions and consulted calendars to give precise dates which they had marked on the calendar. The mantle of responsibility falls on Olaolu who printed the poster that gave the
details of his father's death. Narrating the last days of his father, Olaolu told {The Guardian On Saturday} that he had a stroke on June 18, last year. "On that day, I had gone to school. When I came back, he told me he fell down on the balcony. We went to call a doctor about three blocks away. It was the doctor who told us that he had a stroke."

According to Olaolu, medications were prescribed. "We bought the drugs and we followed the doctor's instruction that we should allow him to
rest." The doctor, who came from a private hospital further advised the children to get their father a physiotherapist. "We got one for him at
the Igbobi Orthopaedic Hospital and he was always coming home to give him therapy. And we noticed that he was getting better."

But the picture changed after three months of home medication. "After three months, we realised that he had relapsed. He was able to walk if
he held on to someone. But this suddenly stopped. He could no longer walk." That was when divine intervention came from a family friend, Morufu Ojikutu, who arrived from Germany. "He advised that we should take him to the hospital when he saw his condition. He also gave us money for his treatment," Olaolu said.

The reporter gathered that what really stopped the ailing Ajala from going to the hospital was the lack of funds. Says Olaolu: "When he got
sick, he did not have money but later my sisters and mum sent in some money for his treatment. And it is this that we spent to keep
ourselves together." But Bolanle chipped in that at times, money sent to their father doesn't get to him. "Brother Femi (his second son) sent him £500 but he never received it and that was what he was harping on until he
died", she said.

In spite of the lack of funds, Olaolu believes that he died because he did not get quick medical attention. "When Mr. Ojikutu came, it was
already too late. I think he also knew he was about to die and he did not want to die at home. That was why he insisted that he should be
taken to the hospital." Ajala eventually ended up at the General Hospital, Ikeja. "He was there for 11 days. Prior to his death, his younger sister also deposited money with an aunt at the hospital to take care of him," Olaolu said. It was gathered that before his death, Ajala had demanded that his relatives should bring a more comfortable chair, radio and orange
juice. "But when the things were taken to him on February 2, he was already dead," Olaolu said.

According to Wale, who was with him in the hospital, Ajala had been restless since the weekend before his eventual death. "When he first
got to the hospital on January 25, he was always playing and joking with the people in the ward. But from Sunday, January 30, he could not
breathe very well. He was always breathing through the mouth until he died on Tuesday, February 2," Olaolu said.`

`Ajala explored the unexplored and charted the hitherto uncharted areas of the world. He wined and dined with heads of state and leaders including the late Alhaji Tafawa Balewa, first Republic Prime Minister of Nigeria; the late Paudit Nehru of India; the late Abdel Nasser of
Egypt; the late Golda Meir of Israel; the late Marshall Ayub Khan of Pakistan; the late President Makarios of Greece; the late General Ignatuis Acheampong of Ghana and the late Odinga Oginga, one-time vice-president of Kenya. The list, indeed, is endless.`

mercylicious: Do u think morgan will meet the increase in capital base as planned by SEC?
What happens to us if they dont meet up?

It is unfair to have suggested this. You can kill their business. You could have contacted them directly or even contact SEC. I can confirm to you that MorganCapital has close to 900 million naira in Shareholders funds, which is much more than SEC requirements for stock broker and issuing house. This is a firm that has raised over 15 billion naira in the last 15 months for various firms and government agency. Please don't send any panic signal. Ask for their audited accounts.

ifeykay:

I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THEM. Is only a matter of time they will know technology is not all in this business. One good thing about this kind of technology is the ability to replicate it. Already my other broker is in the process of launching real-time trade. Once every other broker has it the only edge will be customer service - customer satisfaction. Till then let them.........

And your broker will do 0.25% Brokerage Fee ?

agbekoya:

N20,000 is the minimum amount to open an account wit MorganCap but be ready to pressure the customer service to get your account opened in time as they seem to be overwhelmed for now.

You are right boss, but they still sort out account opening in 72 hours. Personally i have introduce few clients to them in the last few days. The thing is once your account is opened you can start trading yourself, with no human interference and i think that's fantastic they the only stockbroking firm offering real-time stock trading in Nigeria.

aljpimp: hello,pls is it possible to buy at day's opening price and sell at the day's high for that same day

Definitely, since you have access to the real-time trading engine you sell and buy same stock in a single day. Buying at day's opening price and selling at day's high price is very possible but its a function of demand and supply and how fast you are. The key thing is that with MorganCapitaliTrade you have been empowered to do so.

Fantastic news....

We are getting there, this is what the market needs. It was nice to know also that a firm in Lagos just introduced the First ONLINE-REAL TIME MorganCapital iTrade, trading platform in Nigeria where you can execute your trades directly on the Nigerian Stock Exchange without any human interference, with full access to market data & Analytics as its happemimg. the brokerage fee is also ridiculously low at 0.25%.

We need liquidity in this market, our stock market must improve.
