Family / Re: My 13 Years Old Has Become Terrible! I Want To Send Her Back To Nigeria by martinkem(m): 3:00pm On Feb 24 |
Mrperfecto: Your daughter finishes from school at 4pm which is a 10 minute walk from home and your work starts at 6:30pm but you barely see her. You need to make time to try to connect with your daughter, take some time out to try to connect with your daughter, go pick her up from school, take her some where to get lunch, try to find out what is really happening with her, her step-mother and siblings. There is a reason why she rather be anywhere but home. The story of Cinderella is one of the oldest stories out there and e get why. Having grown-up in a not so dissimilar situation, Step-mothers dey behave some how you could be the most well-behaved person and still managed to get on their bad side. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Nigeria To Attract $20bn Investment From UK, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China by martinkem(m): 9:06pm On Feb 07 |
Paraman: There would be a rush of other investors trying to convert their naira into USD since they've spent the better of the last 6-8 years trying to get some of their profits out. There might be a momentarily drop in the NGN/USD but it would be short-lived. Unless we address our balance of trade constructively the Naira would continue to see a downward trend |

Investment / Cowrywise Emailing People To Tell Them You Are Their Next Of Kin by martinkem(m): 11:22am On Feb 01 |
CONTEXT When i opened my cowrywise account about 2-3 years ago, i used one of my brother's name as a next of kin and then in the email address field for the next of kin i used my alternate email address. However after comparing the rates with that of Piggyvest, I chose to forgo my cowrywise account. So at no point in time did i ever put any money in the time and after receiving a bunch of marketing emails from them i ended up deleting the account about 2 years ago. Fast forward to today,I recieved an email at my alternate email address(which was supposed to be the email adress of my next of kin) informing me that i was registered as a next of kin for my cowrywise. This move struck me as shady and unethical as I no longer have an account with them and this move was solely self-serving as a way to drum up business for a company that i never did any business with. Nigerian businesses need to start behaving themselves, you can't position yourself as a company that people should trust their savings with and resort to underhanded tactics like this. |

TV/Movies / Re: Yorubas Started Nollywood, Own It —Aisha Lawal, Actress And Scriptwriter by martinkem(m): 2:58pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
I know the Nigerian education system has its failings but past the age of 11, one should be able to differentiate between making a movie and making a business of it. Nollywood for those that cannot work it out yet refers to the Nigerian movie industry/business. |
Religion / Re: How Christians Should React To The Legalization Of Same-Sex Marriage by martinkem(m): 1:17pm On Aug 06, 2023 |
The right response would be to first ask yourself "What would Jesus do?" And the answer to that question could be found in these Bible passages: John 8:1-11 and Matthew 7:3-5 If you haven't got the time to read through these verses or you have and still can't work out the answer. I would sum it up as Mind your own business, what other people choose to do with their lives shouldn't be what you choose to build your faith on. |

Hi, Fellow Foodies.. Could you please help me in deciding which of these types of Ewedu leaves is better. I am led to believe that the two of these plants are different varieties of the Molokhia (Jute mallow), however i am wondering which of these do you guys prefer to use to make your soups and which one of these is more common in your area.

Agriculture / Types Of Ewedu by martinkem(m): 6:45pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
I am doing a bit of research towards Ewedu (jute mallow) and I have been told that there are a few Nigerian varieties, The Nigerian seed Portal initiative lists 3 varieties. I was hoping if any farmer here could help me out by attaching the photos of the variety they grow to this post. Thanks |
Politics / Re: Tinubu Should Scrap Ministers Of State Position by martinkem(m): 6:36pm On Jul 01, 2023 |
Puss360: Running the ministry isn't exactly the job of the Minister, we have permanent secretaries and their subordinates for that job. The Ministers role is to act as a bridge between the head of state and those ministries. The role is there to ensure that the key goals of the administration is sufficiently communicated and carried out by the perm.secs while also ensuring that the reverse. |

Business / We Need To Talk About Buyer Protection For Online Transactions by martinkem(m): 3:55am On Sep 11, 2018 |
Buyer protection is nothing new, you are more likely than not to have come across it once or twice, and almost everytime if you use either Paypal or eBay. Buyer proection in its simplest form, a way of ensuring that the buyer is protected from fraud while shopping. The payment processor (Paypal) ensures the integrity of the transaction by reimbursing the buyer, he or her money in the event that product doesn't arrive or doesn’t meet the description. This buyer protection often times can extend beyond payment processors like Paypal to full fledged banks. Online transaction has been something that the Central bank of Nigeria and the entire banking sector has been pushing for quite some time with their cashless transaction intiative and for what it is worth when it works it a pleasure to use but when it doesn’t, it leaves the conusmer/buyer having to bear the brunt of their loss and with little or no recourse. In other parts of the world, the banks are more than willing to assist their customers recover their money while in Nigeria, the banks tend to distance themselves from the transaction, leaving the customer to sort themselves out. My experience with resolving issues with failed online transactions have left me with a bitter taste with the way that the banks handled the situation. The first one happened about a year ago with Stanbic IBTC LTD and Eko Electric Distribution Company. On one fateful day I had the need to purchase some electricity units using a Fidelity Bank ATM, while the transaction was succesful on the ATM screen alas it wouldn’t print out a reciept for the transaction I just made. After staring at the machine wondering what went wrong for a while, I finally had to go home to a house without power for the weekend. The following monday, I went to back to the bank that owns the ATM (Fidelity Bank) to make a complaint and I was advised to take up the matter with my bank which I did. At my bank (Stanbic) I was told that the transaction was successful and that I needed to speak to someone at EKEDC to sort out the matter, so I marched myself to EKEDC Marina office to make a complaint. The nice lady there told me that these things happen and the banks tend to push the issue to them to sort out hoping that the customer would give up and that I should ask for the token code from the bank as they (EKEDC) send over these codes to the bank after each transaction has been completed. So I headed over back to the bank and mouth the same thing to them and they took down some details, minutes later I get a call from their customer service guys and who collects some details from me. A few days later, I get a call from the customer service people again asking the same questions and the same pattern repeats itself over and over again more times than i’d care to recollect. Eventually my money was repaid and at the point that it was returned I had given up on the process and the bank. Taking three months to revert a transaction was a bit too much for me to bear. The second time I have been caught holding the bag for a failed online transaction happened about a week ago, I tried to fund my 1xBet account using GT Collection on the mobile app. While the transaction was successful on the GTB app, my 1xBet account failed to reflect the transaction, so I ended up chatting up the guys at 1xBet (I hate those guys) about it and they told me that the transaction had failed (after a bit of back and forth with them) that I needed to fill out a local dispense error form with my bank (yeah, they even sent me a form). So I contacted the GTB customer care via Twitter and after some days had elapsed they informed me that the transaction has successful, again leaving me holding the bag. My experience isn’t uncommon, and comparing notes with other people shows one common theme with Nigerian banks and that their penchant for disavowing any wrong doing when there’s an issue without any transaction on their platform which is in stark constrast to what’s obtainable globally. I have run into this kind of trouble with a UK retailer and my bank then (Lloyds Bank) was more than willing to sort out the issue for me within hours of making the complaint. After making the complaint to the customer care unit of Lloyds bank, every transaction that I had with the UK retailer was called back and my monies returned to me in full, I have even had some success doing the same for other Nigerian students who experienced the same issue with online subscription services that refused to honour a cancellation. My experience with Stanbic and GTB has left me with only one resolve and that is to only do cash transactions from henceforth since I can’t trust the Nigerian banking system with my money. And for a country that’s serious about digital banking, these problems need to be addressed sooner rather than later. There has to be some guide or laid down rules for handling failed transactions and the CBN needs to get on this to ensure that consumer confidence is not eroded as it seeks to transition into a digital economy.

Business / Re: Football (+Other Sports) Betting Season 11 by martinkem(m): 10:45pm On Feb 02, 2017 |
TheLoneCitizen: 1.25 handicap means you need 2 goals to win a full stake and the 2 goals is counted from when you placed the bet which means that the match would have to end 0-5 |
