This is looking at it superficially. Let's look at the eradication of the middle class .
What do you think led to this ?
Lack of investment in education . I am afraid that Nigeria has squandered its opportunity . The money we made from crude was either looted, used for white elephant projects like ajaokuta steel, festac or funding of socialist policies . Merely looking at our budgets over the years u will see that, there is no plan for the immediate and the future .
He is not stupid. Hear this "Si vis pacem, para bellum" This latin adage simply means, if you want peace, prepare for war. Zelensky's situation was easily captured in this phrase " Whichever option you choose men are surely going to die, it's the devils alternative" this is an excerpt from F. Forsyth book the devils alternative. Come to think of it Martin Luther king opines that " If a man has no cause to die for, then, he is not fit to live" The thought of becoming stateless and losing their sovereignity for ever is a enough to make them fight. If Britain had not called the bluff of Hitler, and capitulated under German bombardment during Operation Sea Lion, we may all be German speakers today. Fighting for one freedom is the highest form of bravery, I hope you know that. Tears may fall, buildings may crumble infrastructures may be destroyed, yet this can be rebuilt, but freedom once lost may take centuries to regain.
Well done brother . This is well encapsulated in the poem ,
"Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods"
Iyaebe: This is good,so men should also examine their breast frequently, especially those fat men that competes with women in that region.
The incidence of breast cancer is so minute that it does not merit routine screening whether by breast self examination, clinical breast examination or mammography. Furthermore, the male breast is redundant, and thus development of tumour is likely detected early than in the females .
It is a benign lesion. Precisely a Pyogenic granuloma . U can look it up on Google images to c similar pics . Simple excision if done properly is curative .
I doubt if it's lipoma, in such a young child, very rare in children. Get an ultrasound it's more likely a branchial cyst or cystic hygroma . See a paediatric surgeon. Surgery in children is safe
Bloody nipple discharge is probably an intra ductal papilloma,a benign condition. Could be breast cancer but it's rare in males , not usually painful and rarely presents with bloody nipple discharge. U need to c a general surgeon asap
Most Nigerians are not studious Most people want to be led by the hand and be told what to buy, when to buy and when to sell so they can effortlessly smile to the bank. Without putting in any form of work. No wonder NSE, is now transforming into mmm or at best a casino . No one wants to analyse result/chart and invest based on TA/FA. In saner climes the recommendation on caverton will be hold/accumulate but a clown here pretending to be an investor is insulting another for recommending a stock with good fundamentals.
See I'm an African and my sympathy will definitely want to sway to that but facts remained facts. Now civilization is different from human ancestry or where human developed from. It is different from earliest settlements. Though civilization does grow out of settlement but before a settlement can be called a civilization several things must be there. One food, building of monument and cities, having a civil governance with a standing army or military force. Now with these in mind, civilization started in three parts of the world almost at the same time between 3500 bc to 2500 bc. These places are the Indus River basin area, the Nile Valley and the fertile crescent of the euphrates and Tigris. Among these three, Euphrates is the oldest around 3200bc,while that of Egypt was around 3100bc. That of the Indus River was further down 2500 bc. There were other civilization that grew independently from these like the Aztecs and Mayans but they were much later. All other civilizations came from these. The sumerians led to the babylonians, Akkadians assyrians, Persians. While the Egyptians lead to that of Sudan or vise versa, nothing is so sure at these point.
No sir The Sumerian civilization predates the flood, most believe that the book of genesis was actually adapted from Sumerian documentation. The cuneiform Sumerian texts u quoted has been dated to about 22000 b.c , even the Egyptian civilization predates the flood as evidenced by the water weathering on the sphinx in Giza demonstrating clearly that it was there during the flood, when it was exposed to heavy rain. Gobeklii tepe, estimated to be a pre-flood monument has reliefs of extinct pre-flood caving on stones. These are also verifiable
Note that its the bible that made the claim of civilization beginning in Summer due to proximity to Israel where the garden of Eden was supposedly located according to the bible's creation myth. This has been the believe of western scholars for hundreds of years until all modern sciences began to disprove it- some western scholars still arrogantly teach it.
But in reality, all the sciences- genetics, anthropology, archeology, paleontology, unanimously agree that human civilization began in the Nile valley in the region of Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Congo. Its from here that humanity moved to North Africa, the Midle East and the rest of the world.
The Egyptians themselves were descendants of the Nubians, not the other way round.
U really need to read wide with an unbiased mind. The earliest civilization is Mesopotamia (Sumerian) The 22000 year old Sumerian text is a testament to that. Gobeklii tepe in Turkey is another old pre-flood civilization. The information given to u above are documented facts and verifiable
Rossikk: Sudan was a major centre of African civilization in antiquity.
When Europe was a wasteland of barbarism and cave-dwelling illiteracy, Sudan (ancient Nubia) was giving the world mighty temples and pyramids built according to the highest mathematical and geometric principles and standards.
Incidentally I was watching an American TV news show the other day in which the host, Joe Scarborough, was telling his viewers that ''Arabs invented mathematics''.
A claim profoundly false and misleading, since the pyramids of Sudan - all 223 of them, were built thousands of years before the birth of Muhammed, the founder of Islam.
(Egypt's pyramids and temples of course are another example of ancient black African mathematics that preceded by thousands of years all European and Arab civilizations, but this thread is about Sudan)
Excerpt:
''Nubian pyramids are pyramids that were built by the rulers of the ancient Kushite kingdoms. The area of the Nile valley known as Nubia, which lies [in] present day Sudan, was home to three Kushite kingdoms during antiquity. The first had its capital at Kerma (2500–1500 BC). The second was centered on Napata (1000–300 BC). Finally, the last kingdom was centered on Meroë (300 BC–AD 300). They are built of granite and sandstone. The pyramids were partially demolished by [surprise surprise] Italian combat medic turned explorer and treasure hunter Giuseppe Ferlini in the 1830s''
Queen Tiye, Nubian mother of Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaton. 1398 BC – 1338 BC
Temple of Amun
................. .................Taharqa, Pharaoh of Nubia and Egypt - 690–664 BC
THE WORDS OF LADY LUGARD, Historian wife of Lord Lugard, Ist British Governor-General of Nigeria:
"When the history of Negroland comes to be written in detail, it may be found that the kingdoms lying towards the eastern end of Sudan (classical home of Ancient Africans) were the home of races who inspired, rather than of races who received, the tradition of civilization associated for us with the name of ancient Egypt.
For they cover on either side of the Upper Nile between the latitudes of ten degrees and seventeen degrees, territories in which are found monuments more ancient than the oldest Egyptian monuments. If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."
"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favourites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race."

Mr rossikki, I admire your dedication to the black race. But there are some errors in your write up. 1) Mohammed discovered Islam and not the Arabs. The Sumerian civilization and even Persia predated Mohammed. Popular opinions pool suggests that the Arabs retrogressed since the introduction of Islam. The earliest known mathematically precised construction s were in ancient Sumeria. Are u also aware that the Sumerian tablets were estimated to be 22000 years ? Present day sudan and Egypt were part of the old kingdom forget the present separation. The smaller pyramids in Sudan may be an attempt to mimic the gigantic Giza pyramids or they were earlier experiments that allowed the construction of much larger pyramids. It can be either way as stones cannot be radiocarbondated . The size of stones used in Giza are truly unbelievable a feat man can't achieve today , many opinion believe they were constructed by the gods read genesis chapter 6, compare with book of Enoch and various other folklore which suggest our ancestors coming from heaven.
Since the winner was DECLARED and MARKET has been CRASHING, don't you think it's WISE to cut your LOSSES now and use the PROCEEDS to buy more QUANTITY in the near future
U want to give oga chibuking a dose of his own medicine Hahaha Why does black men always call God in the affairs of men. Yet from all indication God has abandoned the black race. Instead of discussing on how to make the process better people are here calling God.
The market was gearing for massive bulls until the incompetent INEC chairman took the wind off it's sails prematurely. Instead of focusing on the reason for the bear, men have turned to attacking themselves instead of the lacklustre govt. There is a strong rumour of further postponement or inconclusiveness I hope by then we will not resort to spiritual attack. A supposed pastor here called people descendants of a demon and the clown is still posting links to messagez
The market should retrace further abeg I prematurely ejaculated fcmb at 1.84 following a near perfect entry and long period of endurance on account of the excessive shout by the bear merchant here.
Mpeace: Brokers love those that jump in and out at more regular intervals. You go just dey sacrifice 2% of your capital at each "in-out" jump. Thats what many of us in MorganCapital don't know. They made it easy to "sell and buy" at the click of a button. What we forget is that each click comes at a cost. Dr. Agba knows this, thats why he "clicks" only once a yr.
My biggest concern about this frequent jump-in and out is that most times "energy is neither created nor destroyed" if u honestly assess your portfolio, you will mostly likely be in the negative.
wen e see Diamond for rear view , bus driver match pedal lolx
It's such a pity and against the natural order of things that diamond bank would overtake fcmb a scenario that currently seem inevitable. Has the access bank take-over made diamond bank more valuable than fcmb and fidelity?
Synonyms 1) onegentleguy 2) tradeinvestgal 3) godlyguy 4) forgotten the name of the moniker that usually gives the afore-mentioned high-five claiming to be a military man 5) I dey suspect mpeace All na one and the same person U can add yours
No vex abeg. Yes, its painful to miss such rally, moreso that I sold out of fear but yes, I'm happy for those in the bus.... but you should know its the talk of the town now, even from those that are not in investment section. I wouldn't talk about it again. Not a promise anyway.
Your recent comments about diamond bank suggests that u are somewhere with tear-filled red eyes moping helpless at your computer screen wishing that the diamond bus would develop engine-knock. Ur comments does not in anyway suggest that u wish the diamond bank travellers well. NB- am not in the bus
Mcy56: Diamonds bids might start reducing from tomorrow... today's volume is not up to yesterdays'. Just my opinion pls.
Nne, what is your problem with diamond bank? Since the recent rally all your posts here have been about diamond bank. U bailed from the bus early and missed the rally. It's hard to convince us that u are not pained cos you missed the rally. Allow people in the bus to enjoy the rally .
Started studying the book on technical analysis that was recently given to everyone that tastes for knowledge by our ever generous infinitisi. I discovered that my trades were like that of a mad man with a lighter in a gas station. I have been paying tuition without really learning anything. At least now I can make some sense of fxuser posts. Whom I also humbly implore to give us a link to NSE chats so that we can also interpreted for ourselves. Nomoreschoolfees
Mpeace: Its a small problem na. Just send de money to my acct I will forward it to them. Mind u they don't like u calling them all the time.
On a more serious note, call them and ask for your actual holdings in shares. Also see if you had unclaimed dividends. Cos, I bet you, those registrars don't make such mistakes. They rather cut ur money. Thanks bros will call them tomorrow Shout out to sister my, your head dey there.
Please what should I do I was expecting xnaira belated dividend from a certain registrar. The money landed and I noticed that it is more than times 3 of the anticipated amount I intend to call them very soon, so that they can correct this unfortunate error. I need suggestions
Poor economic policies and increase in minimum wage is a recipe for catastrophe.....No think am o
I think implementation of the new minimum wage will bring temporary reprieve to the consumer goods sector pending when we get out economic policies right. It's like reflating the economy. If the current trend is not halted many businesses will collapse or leave the country just like in the 80s and 90s
Most consumer goods(df, dangote sugar, honeywell etc) results have shown plummeting returns Could this be as a result of destruction of the middle class by the poor economic policies, hence low purchasing power. If so, then the only salvation for this companies will be implementation of the new minimum wage.
