AlphaTaikun:
Benue State recently acquired surveillance drones for security purposes and that can be factored in. Besides this is cumulative debt profile of N129.82 billion from past Benue State government loans (plus interests on loans) till the current one.

Was that from a loan?

Dogalmighty17:
What did Benue use the loans for? Nothing is developed in that state

Ask Suswam, followed by Ortom.

telleyway:
Look at what insensitive governance is costing us. Funny enough, most of these debts were collected in dollars and continue to increase as dollar is going high.
The present governor of Benue has never taken any loan since assuming office but look at where the careless spending of his predecessors put the state.

You can say that again.

I’m confused.

Is this a good sign, a bad one, or somewhere in between?

Even the dead dey feel the dividend of democracy

I tell you.

Na real dividend of democracy dem the feel.

Consolidating outdated laws into a modern framework was long overdue in Nigeria’s insurance sector.

I hope this new Act isn't just another policy on paper.

Someone said, a desperate mind is not good for business.

It's 1500 per liter in the black market, as filling stations are now hoarding and refusing to sell.

No bias, you on the other hand are absolving the USA of crimes they have perpetrated against Africa and the likes. Africans built the USA with free labor from slavery at least a great part. Now all of a sudden we have to pay and Bond to visit. And you are trying to justify it by calling it Visa Fraud. All of a sudden USA is the virtuous one ?

You seemed to be vexed about the mention of Visa Fraud.

Here is my initial statement.

99thEnemy:
But they are very clear. Tourist or Business Visas

If someone's intention is to JAPA, the person has no business with the Visa's of this type.
Anyone who does is very guilty of Visa Fraud which is the exact thing the United States is trying to mitigate.

And to aid your understanding, I attached images showing 35 common U.S. visa types grouped by category.

There are 35 common visa types (may be more), and the restrictions apply only to the B types: B1 (Business Visitor), B2 (Tourist Visitor), and B1/B2 (Combined Business/Tourist).

You seem very pained that I said anyone using Tourist or Business Visas for JAPA purposes is committing Visa Fraud. But why not use the appropriate visa from the others?

In fact, 10 out of the 35 visa types in the images below can be used for JAPA purposes. So why insist on using Tourist and Business Visas just because they were easier to get?

Is that not Visa Fraud?

Remember that JAPA refers to permanent relocation to a foreign nation for greener pastures.

But she will still need to pay 300k to write English exams to enter UK.

Winning a global English contest doesn’t exempt her from standardized immigration requirements if she wants to immigrate.

Her English proficiency must be at least C1, if not C2.

malali:
What visa's did the united states come with when they adopting slaves in Africa ? You seem to know a lot.

You seem to speak from a biased point of view or maybe you didn't comprehend.

malali:
They devalued our currency. Gave us loans. Knowing it will either get embezzled or misappropriated. Took our crude as collateral. Removed oil and Forex subsidies. Now they’re locking the gates.
[b]JAPA is no longer for the broke, it’s now elite migration.[/b]

Starting Aug 20th, Guesstimated JAPA Costs will be:
• ₦35M for 1 person (visa, ticket, cash, migration bond)
• ₦70M for 2
• ₦105M for 3

Time to fix our own country. Corruption still remains one of our biggest problems.

But they are very clear. Tourist or Business Visas

If someone's intention is to JAPA, the person has no business with the Visa's of this type.
Anyone who does is very guilty of Visa Fraud which is the exact thing the United States is trying to mitigate.

My dear, I read this and it is making good impact within me whether it was aided with chatgpt or not.

It is a good writeup..

You misunderstood me. I wasn't discouraging its use.

In fact, AI helps in expressing ideas more clearly, and platforms like LinkedIn even promote such tools.

I just meant that LLM written content usually carries certain recognizable patterns For example, the em dash used for punctuation. There's no dedicated key for it on most devices, and inserting it manually is a bit tedious, whether on phone, tablet, or PC.

Hope it’s clear I wasn’t mocking its use. As long as the core idea is yours, using AI to refine it is absolutely fine.

Sounds very ordinary.


Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

The only thing I came here to say is that Ronaldinho (Ronaldo de Assis Moreira), also known as "Ronaldinho Gaúcho", is my greatest of all time (G.O.A.T).

For what real purpose was he trafficked all the way from Benin for?

The same government who gave approvals comes back to declare it illegal because someone else is in charge. That’s how you know a highly unstable economy, not friendly to investors

If truly every thing is done as it should, it can be defended in court.

Kobojunkie:
Huhh? I am afraid I do not know what you mean by LLMs? 🤔

LLM's Mean AI "Large Language Models".

Examples: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, LLaMA

Guestmale:
I really pity France, romancing with a lion's tail.

Their problem.

Let me take my time to laugh in HAMAS.

Make sure you do not have any health issues (like hyperthyroidism). Your metabolic rate shouldn't be very very high that you lose weight with ease

Honestly,

You have a very valid point.

I also sweat more than an average person when doing strenuous activity.

Even my urination can be very frequent when It's cold, or when I consume alcohol.

All way more than an average individual.

As expected


It is in every terrorist's nature.

I no take diz babe serious again...

Pple dat knws him... should be able to tell her dat she need chill pill....... cho cho cho everyday

The daughter of a medical doctor and a university professor said she "exchanged her meals for books and lost a significant amount of weight."
So… her parents couldn’t afford books, or what exactly, that she had to give out her meals in exchange for books?

lordm:
Some are begging to lose weight while I begging to add weight

My rate of metabolism is very very high.

I loose weight with ease.

– Lack of communication (e.g., speaking native languages in front of clients)
– Cold or dismissive attitude
– Treating people like a task to finish, not like valued clients
– Ignoring client preferences or feedback

This holds true for primitive migrants.

yarimo:
Nothing like free ticket in coalition, OBI should participate in primary election isn't that simple

The only real chance Peter Obi has to compete against Atiku is if ADC conducts direct primaries to select its presidential flag bearer.

If it is indirect primaries, we already know how it plays out. Delegates will be bought, and from history, we know exactly what Atiku is capable of.

Obi cannot match Atiku dollar for dollar, the way Tinubu did in 2014 to secure Buhari’s victory over Atiku in the APC presidential primaries for the 2015 elections.
