@SaniMusa_ @IamJustUstaz This is one of the most pasuasive speeches from any candidate in Bauchi

There are other "Bigs" in several other industries but not usually defined with numbers, rather with their industry.
Examples
1. Big Oil or the Oil Supermajors
- Exxon
- Chevron
- Shell
- BP
- TotalEnergies
- ConocoPhilips
- ENI
There was historically Seven Sisters of Oil & Gas, a group of oil companies that morphed from Rockefeller's Standard Oil, but those metamorphosed over the years and most of them are still subsumed in these Supermajors, but not the exact count here.
2. Big Pharma (Roche, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson etc)
3. Big Law - This one is sometimes limited to the USA. There is the Magic Circle equivalent in the UK
4. There is also the Big 3 of investment banking
- Goldman Sachs
- JPMorgan Chase
- Morgan Stanley.
5. Big Tech: The FAAMG companies:
- Facebook
- Apple
- Amazon
- Microsoft
- Google
Nvidia and Tesla are sometimes added to have Magnificent Seven
The criticism of this, like most things American, is it focuses only on American companies and ignores tech giants outside USA, so some people refer to them as not representing global Big Tech but only American Big.
In general, Big 4 of accounting (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY) is the most commonly referenced by Big + Number.
But in terms of Big + Industry, Big Oil, Big Tech and Big Pharma are also very popular references and generally more powerful.
Big Oil removes presidents!

Every industry has its untouchables. Financial services has the Big 4. Business Consulting has the Big 3. Credit rating has the Big 3. Are they other fields with its own “Big X?”

@NengakPam @ZSokowar Before you sign an MOU I thought there should be preliminary discussions and things should have been agreed, hence an "understanding"?
English

@ZSokowar If there is data on MOUs signed, I’m sure we are not in the top 20 states in Nigeria.
It is standard practice for investors to come and share their ideas and interests.
This particular MOU was signed and then the investor came back with “interesting” requests, again, the norm!

@Sistaliano Is it a crime for a dealer in premium drinks to have some in his house? Maybe Wike doesn't know some of his businesses.

🚨| Peter Obi on his austere lifestyle,
“I have said it to Nigerians, Peter Obi wears only black shoes, and I have two pairs of them, and I travel with them”
🚨 | Nyesom Wike exposing Peter Obi,
“I will tell you something. When PDP had no problem, we went to Anambra state for a gubernatorial campaign and when we finished that campaign, we went to somebody's (Peter Obi) house. I just sat down. Come and see the best of drinks, this and that. So, I called him, I said you are providing cristal champagne (₦515,000 – ₦560,000) here but every day, you tell people that you wear only one shoe, you carry your own bag, only you. But look at champagne here. Not just champagne, cristal.
“Why do we deceive Nigerians? Why can’t we tell ourselves the simple truth?What you preach is not what you practice. And you know, we like to hear such things but that is being deceitful.
And these are the kind of things that I tell Nigerians, look, don’t allow people to deceive you. People who are preaching that they care for you, they don’t care for you, they don’t think about you. They only try to use you to climb”.

@CatiaKyen People may not be happy with APC, but these once are sponsored. You won't fine am organic protest with placards. That's an organized event.

This is not even the problem. The problem is that they can come to finance with an engineering knowledge that can beat whatever you know about finance.
Take O&G for instance, they will model from reservoir to exploration to production and to future commercial value (NPV).
Finance person is waiting for production forecast to apply his NPV & other metric which is just 10% of the whole process while an engineer can do end-to-end of that.
In other word, engineers combine technical operations knowledge, commercial and financial acumen to helping business succeed.
As long as your primary base is finance, there is limit to how you apply and work with engineering or technical data.
They can do your job, but you can't do theirs.

@Donny74914264 @HabuSadeik As a Geophysicist who has done stuff in finance I agree with you. Sometimes if I tell some colleagues my field of study they'd think I'm joking

@HabuSadeik Like Jim Simmons said, you can teach a physicist to do Finance, but not vice versa

In the whole of Nigeria, there’s no airport you can see what time your flight is and when you’re landing. No functional display.
We just depend on terrible phonetics which is mostly inaudible from staff. Yet billions are spent on airport renovations every year. Basic information system we cannot boast of anywhere.

@Bond_not_james But luxurious buses owners have all switched to Chinese. From Silver, Ekeson and others.
Trucks too.
English

How many of them can get to 100k.
Even 50k many go start to misbehave.
Durability is one factor a lot of people don’t talk about when discussing these Chinese cars.
I got this experience when I wanted to sell some used Chinese buses a couple of years ago.
A company was shutting down and wanted to offload 15 staff buses at ridiculous prices. Very clean vehicles.
I thought I had struck gold because it looked like something transport companies would rush.
I approached every company along Ago palace and Ajiwe in Ajah. All of them said the same thing…
Chinese engines don’t run for long.
If there’s any sector that should quickly adopt Chinese cars especially because of cost, it will be transporters. But there’s a reason they’re stuck with Toyota and Benz.

Bro some times I wonder if those Chinese cars has foreign used like 2012.. it will sell for just 7m.

@Big_Sinudo But what if ADC is playing the devil's advocate?
What if Nafiu Bala's work is to make this trouble as a distraction so that APC won't have the chance to do it by themselves?
From Lamidi Apapa, to the guy in NNPP, the other troubles with PDP and ADC didn't simulate ALL outcomes?
