My head is not thinking right right now cos I'm going through a lot. I was in dire need of money for hospital bill when someone sent me some money due to my cries. Using ATM to withdraw it, I was debited but not dispensed. Going to 3 months now, the bank has not refunded. That money was to save a life but bank played politics with it.

What are my chances if I sue them for damages?

go for it.. people do not know this. Banks or corporations don't like public cases such as court. Once your lawyer writes the bank, trust me, the bank would call you and your lawyer to resolve the issue.

Hi Nairalanders,

Last year I lost my Job as an AfterSales Analyst at a multinational company called AlFuttaim in the Peak of the Covid scare in Dubai, UAE. This is when it all began, Paying my rent became a problem, feeding became a problem. At that time the frustration in the country was everywhere due to the lock down and lot of Nigerians joined some illegal activisties in the UAE.

Unlike other nations Known to me, the desperation of Nigerians is quite on the high side so most delved into Yahoo-Yahoo. So it was so rampant and obvious in Dubai then and even now.
The difficulty was much and the lockdown was highly enforced, not giving room for any means of making ends meet.
At that time I had to return to Nigeria, I stayed with my sister’s husband because he was alone during the lockdown hoping to return back to the UAE when the opportunity rises again.
I had to start up a POS business with a 50k support from a family member, but due to the location of the business which is a developing environment, customers traffic was very low, sometimes I made 400 naira daily as profit though the ironic factor was that the closest ATM for cash refill was 600naira daily.
So the business couldn’t thrive. I had to start an analytic firm just to be employed but honestly so many factors I can’t explain here hinders infant industries in Nigeria.
Now in Dubai, Nigerians already have bad names in the communities and employers weren’t willing to considering Nigerians. Though I kept applying to different organizations in Nigeria and in Dubai like wise.
I really never understood the Nigerian market also, when I got some interviews but was turned down as a result of under employment. Three organizations made this clear to me during the interview. So at that time I had to wonder if being qualified for a job is now a curse.
I have had Nigerian HRs contacting me via my LinkedIn portfolio but never landed me any Job.

Now the highlight of the frustration is that, I just got a Job at Dubai with AWRostamani another multinational as a Senior Data Analyst in the internal Audit department, and I am to be paid 9000aed which is like 1.4million naira. Two days ago made it three weeks the HR confirmed the Job as mine instructing that I go to their company’s platform to update my details where she will process my e-employment letter & Visa which I did immediately.
But I never heard from them, I sent mails informing them that I had already created my profile but yet to see an employment letter, yet no response. So on Tuesday (a day before yesterday) I had to call them and this is when the HR told me they are having difficulties processing my employment visa since I am a Nigerian and there is an on going ban on visa processes on Nigerians (aside Tourist Visas). I called some of my friends Nigerians and non-Nigerians living in Dubai to ask if they know any possible way I could go through to get this sorted out, they said it’s impossible because they are very much aware about the Nigeria situation in Dubai.

I dint know when tears began running down my eyes and my mum crying with me because she knows how bad I need a change.

Please Nairalanders, I am a data Analyst with over 5 years experience. Can you please help me with an opportunity or if you know a place I could find an opportunity.

Amaka Anajemba defrauded a consortium of Brazilian banks, the highest heist in the world. She was awarded a political appointment by the Enugu state governor called Ugwuanyi.
You Igbos are criminals and your governments reward criminals.

There are valid documents to prove that between 1988 and 1993 Bola Tinubu controlled the activities of a white heroin trafficking in the USA. Yet he came back and he was governor of Lagos state. He got rewarded handsomely. We must learn to call a spade a spade.. a thief is a thief.

Sixfeetbelle:
Blame our leaders for choosing the English language as our lingua franca.

nah.. I blame you all for arguing something unnecessary as if it is your language.

Sixfeetbelle:
maybe Am the boss. Who knows?

Well, you did plead a case for him by mentioning his brilliance but such errors in official correspondence says a lot, you know?

If he couldn't distinguish between the two, then he probably isn't as brilliant as you make him out to be.

silly you all. You need to decolonize your mind. You all act like you are more English than the English man himself. Keep arguing on a small mistake over another man's language. A language to which you were stripped off and beaten to speak their language. A language to which they made you believe that theirs is the best. How I wish you all are talking about Yoruba, igbo ,hausa or swahili but no, your default instincts is to your colonizers. Even in matter of "language" , we still look to the west.
You all are a disgrace to the black nation..

Why not stay in the tree

with your thinking, I am very sure you are not a hustler in this life, plus you are weak. Even if the monkey stays in the tree, are there no leopard or cheaters who can climb the tree?

Monkeys also have to eat food, they need to go out there and hustle. They might be in a clan or tribe whom have been asked to leave the habitat due to injury, sickness or perhaps the husband is dead etc..

One thing I do not like about monkeys especially, they think life is all about play and dancing just like how we humans have played away our life. Some of these monkeys who are in a group playing ,sometimes makes the prey to eat one of their own as a way for the monkeys to get what they want or for fun...

Zambia of all places

Zambia is an amazing country to be in. The level of peace ,serenity, infrastructure, is growing massively. Zambia is beautiful.. don't mock the country . They are not as rich as Nigeria , but they have achieved so much with little resources.

The only issue I have with Zambia is for the fact that the country is partially owned by the Chinese. The Chinese are heavily investing in the country and they plan to use the strategy on how they have been able to get control of Zambia by implementing it in other African countries.

You are an idiot....

Reasons : she is your girl and not your wife .

In as much as she is just your girlfriend then she is not sleeping with only you ..

She is a community puss,,y

Real men don't behave the way you do...if you are insecured of her then marry her

you are the fvcking idiot. Harassing is a crime by law. The girl is not interested yet you still attacking her. The so called driver actually went to the girls house.. that is trespassing, invasion to ones privacy and stalking .. these are criminal offenses ...

Lostchild:
I refuse to help a needy pregnant woman because I am running from my real self. Yes, I needed to save my peace and sanity

In 2018, I move to a new place, a married woman with children started and always comes to meet me to give her whatever she wants from me which I always do. One day, the husband came to me with anger, and told me to stay away from his wife. I said, OK.

Even If i use common sense - helping people I know has landed me in too many conflicts, they are just too over many for me to overlook anymore.

Because of the many years of constant betrayals that lead me to regret my life, I move to a new town and decide to start afresh. In the past I have shown too much financial care and love for women that backfire and work against me. so I decide to stay focus on myself for the first time of my life.

After living in this new place for about six months, a pregnant woman who also live in the same visinity ask me to help her. She told me to lend her some money.

She told me that, she had not eaten since morning and she wants to cook something to eat and her hubby is out of town and will be back later.

She told me she will refund me when her hubby comes back. She was pregnant, hungry and need help.

I badly wanted to but I instantly had many flash back and I told her, I don't have the money right now. I told her, why can't you go and meet that your fellow business woman down there? she may be able to help you, she replied me with God forbid.

The money she asked me, I have it in my base, three times over but I refuse to give her. I painfully refused to help her because nigeria society has made me look like a fool.

To save my peace - I just have to only help strangers and not give help to the people I know

Did I do wrong?

What do you think?

Proverbs 3:28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you"— when you already have it with you.

There was a time during the Brazil worldcup, Ghanaians were seeking asylum in Brazil. Can people still seek asylum in brazil?

Persons vaccinated in the uk should also be considered unvaccinated when entering Nigeria, they shoul also be quaranteed for two weeks in sambisa borno state. It's high time we start treating this coloured people the way they treat us, i see no reason why we should be worshiping them when they don't treat us like humans

this is what happens when we love foreigners more than ourselves.

Babanta02:
I have the same issue and it started when I travel to UK in 2014. some of my friends own stop but mine continue till now even when I went back to UK, this year I thought it will stop but getting worse. you mean sweating for long will stop it because I have try everything bought medicine upon medicine but yet nothing work for me and is very frustrating because people feel you are mad.

We are all in the same boat. The sickness is called Cholinergic urticaria.

Lamanii22:
I haven't even boarded a plane before but then I'd love to read other people's comments...

nothing much.. one day you will board a plane and you will see it as normal except you want to act like you a big girl.
The western countries is good. You can survive, no matter your status but you will see some challenges as people might see you as African which is usually negative. Even when you find love, that western man can insight things relating to your "Africaness" which can be negative but it might be a joke.
At work, it is the Same. They will make fun of your Africa but if you are well knowledge about history, geography and people, you can say things to make them feel down if they try to laugh at you.

For example: some Hispanics friends make fun about Africans and Africa. I sat one of them down when he made the biggest mistake by acknowledging he was of Spanish descent. I stood up in front of the crowd and said"why do Mexicans like to acknowledge they are of Spanish blood but you condemn your root"?

Why is it that I hear things like "Mexican white", "moreno", "caramel" "tan" "brown " etc.. it means you all are not proud of your skin colour..

You want to cover your skin with long sleeves in the sun so you don't turn black but in truth, you have the black in you but you want to act white..

I said, you need to decolonize your mindset so that the world can begin to respect you.

I said more which I cannot write here but the white Americans, black Americans were shocked knowing I spoke the truth and they all laughed at the Mexican Americans..

Living in the west is cool and it has its challenges but you must talk smart, act smart so that they do not talk bad about you ..

omo it might be scabies oo because it itches sometimes , any idea of what I can use to treat it please like an ointment or something, but I thought scabies only affected the pubic region ni

your skin is reacting to something. It could be detergent, flour, your place of work(where you work at).. use the cream below. Not a big issue..

In the Saudi Arabia, they are not respected as a black man but their situation is better than those hustlers who came to hustle at the lower level.

How much nigerian doctors are paid in Saudi Arabia is the same pay with Arabian nurses. Their Arabian own doctors who just came out of school earn 4times more than a Nigerian doctor and that Arabian doctor is still their boss.

Nigerian doctors work longer hours while female Arabian nurses closes early yet their pay is equal.

Nigeria is finished. Those doctors truly are going for greener pastures but will never be respected.

Guys please help with ideas

place placards in your neighborhood and write I buy and sell phones", people will sell their phones cheaply, resell them amongst your online friends or through the placards you advertised in your neighborhood.
Aim for iPhones and Samsung s8,s9,s10.

Which 2 teams do you fear will give up trouble


Its still


Senegal. And Algeria


And maybe Egypt



Cameroon and ivory coast na moimoi

If you ask a north African, they will tell you their fear is the west Africans. In their mind, if they can score a goal in the early minutes, it weakens the psyche of the west Africans. But when the match tends to go further with no goals, the north Africans becomes more scared.
