TechBaron: I don't agree with you. Banking is one of the oldest professions in the world and employees have found various ways of stealing and mismanaging funds from time in memorial. Anyway 35 billon NAIRA is still small compared to Nick Leeson (who I believe still holds the record) of $1.3bn, and that was Barings Bank, one of the oldest and most respected financial institutions in the world, before he irretrievably bankrupted it. 1 Like |

ElevationD:Don't mind them. Someone worked in the settlement department of the biggest bank in the country and they are still disputing the story. Anyway, definitely other people would have been involved and compromised but it only takes one mastermind to take advantage of weak controls, which by now everyone should know Firstbank has had for quite a while. 3 Likes |

RuggedBiafran:We don't do that in my ethnic group. Its only you people that always find one reason to disown someone (Osu, River Niger, Ebonyi, Edoid and blah blah blah). However once they have proved their worth you start claiming them for the flimsiest of reasons. Kindly go and rehabilitate your brother Oluchukwu and please tell him when he wants to beat women and commit crimes, he should be bold enough to speak his language like his forefathers use to do before Lugard. 2 Likes 1 Share |

madridguy: God bless you, you have even found the guy sef. I guess people in Ondo are now also bearing Oluchukwu ![]() Even half of the so called Agberos in Mushin and Oshodi are actually Igbo. A significant number also in Lagos Island to my surprise. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

RuggedBiafran: Oga you are deceiving yourself. Next thing you will start telling us Okoro is a Yoruba name. Somebody named FRIDAY and then ONU can never be Yoruba. Also if the your imaginary Kayode actually exists, did you ask him when you were in nursery school if his father was Igbo? Or are Bamidele Azikwe and Rotimi Amechi now Yoruba? 32 Likes 1 Share |

This is why I think envy is an overrated and silly emotion. Look at this one, with her privileged background,all the money and the good schools she went to, and what she has now achieved at a young age, even with all that, her insecurities still shines through her and now she is not even bright enough to know "nee" is for her maiden name. Also if you are asking me why I say her insecurities are so obvious, look at how she dresses, wanting everyone to notice her which fits with her need to identify with Tuface, a superstar, that was born into the humblest of families and made it in this world by his talent and hardwork alone (and of course God's blessings). In 20 years time, we will still Tuface (hopefully still for the right reasons) and he would likely have moved on from this lady. Even the recent revelations from Aunty Kemi (who would have been envied when she was young) shows that "the rich also cry", you just don't see those tears. Envy is pointless and misleads, as it generally confuses you to see irrelevant things as important. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

This man is just an inconsistent clown and will achieve very little treating the world like some sort of poker game. As for China, they will continue calling his bluff. The way he is looking for respect up and down you would think his father was named Adigun ![]() 18 Likes 4 Shares |

Yoruba children (I am purposely using this word) need to calm down. Being Yoruba has always been more than where one of your parents come from....or are these kids going to claim they are more Yoruba than Sango or Priestess Wenger? Historically we've never acted insecure and should not start acting like any other insecure ethnic group. |

abbey621: See this fake yankee trying to outsmart people that can actually read and write.....na you state your argument was on VOLUME & QUANTITY, please bring your data of how they were counting bananas and grapes for your ridiculous " For every 4 items China send to to USA, USA sends 1" argument. |

ElevationD: One of the few sensible comments so far. The problem is some people will almost choke on their saliva when the SC gives their FINAL judgement, just like the way they did when the called out a governor, who was to every independent mind, unconstitutionally behaving like a Tyrant. |

Kelklein: Na wa oooooo..... Why did Elon Musk borrow to buy Twitter? Why did Dangote borrow to build his refinery? Why did Stan Kronke borrow to buy Arsenal? If the money the FG borrowed was to create wealth (which is what proper budgets are meant to do), then it is in line with what rich people have been doing since the invention of loans. 3 Likes 1 Share |

abbey621: Unfortunately, it is clear you are a simple dishonest quack who discusses things he has no understanding of. There is clearly no need to engage you further as you will keep on repeating and conflating the same old drivel. For the sake of Nigeria, I hope you never have any students or anyone learning from you as you clearly have no reliable knowledge to impart. |

abbey621: Why are you elongating this thing, have you no shame? I know you are aware that when economists and financial experts talk about Trade Balance it mostly the VALUE anyone cares about and not the QUANTITY. Even in your second post to me to justify your fabricated first post, what you referenced was VALUE....and now just to win an internet argument you are willing to bend Maths, English and Logic ??! Oya ooo, I humbly ask that you share with us independent data that shows that for every 4 items China exports to the USA, USA exports one item....because even AI can not be bothered to bring up the stats of such an irrelevant criterion. |

abbey621: Oga shut it. You are talking from all sides of your mouth at once. 75% and 25% is not a ratio and is not 4 times of anything. Your Maths is poor, your English is poor and your logic is non existent. Also your figures were fabricated from your first post, so why should I go back to fabricated rubbish when you can't accept you erred like a normal human being would have. See him lying and talking like a true economic illiterate " for every 4 items China exports to USA, USA exports 1 to China" .....so VALUE of exports has now turned to QUANTITY ?! So if China exports 4 phones to USA its now comparable to USA exporting a single car shey? Stay in one lane as the amount of nonsense you are freely and boldy saying is mindboggling. But I guess its the bias that is worrying you that will not allow you to see straight, so any meaningful discussion with you is impossible. If you like you can keep posting rubbish for those who are unintelligent enough to research for themselves. At least your idol Trump has made a living with this kind of nonsense but doesn't pretend unlike you. |

MadamExcellency: Aunty, Samsung has never manufactured most of the iPhone and at best has supplied things like the screen and a few other parts. A simple google search will tell you Foxconn has done this for a while. Again that does not change the fact that both Foxcon , Samsung and practically every other serious electronic manufacturing company have their biggest factories and supply ecosystems in CHINA. I cannot be arguing with all of you ONE DAY economist and financial experts. Go and read this and plenty of other material online to understand how the business world in of manufacturing has since evolved and how forcing it to evolve again within such a short period of time is economic sabotage. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/09/tech/apple-iphones-cost-tariffs-impact-intl-hnk/index.html 1 Like 1 Share |

abbey621: If I had known English (and Maths it seems) was your problem, I probably would have not bothered to waste my time replying to your obvious nonsense. You do not "import to a country" but you "import from a country". Your screenshot indicates what USA imported from China compared to what it exported (trade balance reported by US), how does that co-relate with your original claim that China was losing 75% of its export market by fighting USA, while USA was only losing 25% by fighting China (also incorrect). Just take your time and listen to analysts and professionals before you start making up stats to justify your stupid biases. Or are you now more financially educated than Elon Musk who hates these tariffs and what it is doing to his business? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdrgx4ky1xxo

dozymars:I think you might be a bit confused. Apple and the iPhone will be significantly affected as most of the parts in the iPhone (like most other phones) also come from China. This is one of the main reasons their stock price has taken a big hit. There is no doubt that iPhones will be more expensive to make, however, Apple could choose to take most of the impact and still sell their phones at an affordable price as their profit margin on a typical iPhone is already ridiculous compared to other phone manufacturers. The guy you quoted was mostly right. |

abbey621:Where do you people come up with this rubbish? China exports to the USA: 15% (2023 estimate) US exports to China: 7% (2024 estimate) With the way you people are boldy manufacturing untruths I am suspecting most Trump ers might be of a particular political leaning. 6 Likes |

I had stated this before, China are in a better position to fight this battle than Trump is. They have the fundamentals on their side and are politically more stable. Trump cannot win this battle in 4 years he has. The kamikaze advice he has taken will finish his brand. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Nteogwuija: Different chemistries, you are comparing lithium ion with lifepo. I also think he's using a 3s build on his lithium ion so at 12.3 his battery is practically full (80-90%) while at 12.7 (on most of these secondary chinese builds) indicates your battery is almost drained (30- 20%). I also think you should take Damreesy's advice and charge your batteries higher, 13.8 regularly on a new chinese lifepo battery is low. The float is not important, aim to charge them up appropriately. |

emyfine08: If what you are saying is true, please go and look for a new "engineer". Or engage someone trusted on this forum to come down and check your batteries and advise you properly. |

SalamRushdie: I could repeat the same back to you too. The US market is 300 million people, China's market is 1.4 billion alone . Also US is not actually there biggest trading partner (the no1 country though), ASEAN and EU countries exceed the value of trade with the US, and that will continue too grow, with everyone also imposing tariffs on US goods. This battle Trump is trying to fight is a long-term battle and can never be won in the 4 years he has. Pretty stupid. 5 Likes 1 Share |

SalamRushdie: China' external debt % is one of the smallest in the world compared to the other advanced economies. They are safe and won't be bankrupted externally. Trump's America cannot say the same thing. The economists advising him are pretty stupid and probably got their degrees from Oluwole. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ZombieDredd: The same way he made a mistake when he subbed him in the past? The same way he made a mistake when he single handedly blamed him for going out of the CL at HOME because of one missed penalty shey?

ZombieDredd: Oga keep quiet if you don't follow football. This is not the first times fans of the club are complaining he is subbing Lookman when he shouldn't. Also this was the same foolish manager that blamed him for taking and missing a penalty (saying he was the worst penalty taker in the club), when somebody later showed he has only missed one penalty since he has been at the club. Its not everything you must respond to when you clearly have no knowledge. |
