What if he had won, will he be expected to pay only ₦17,000

I will say UNILAG because I don't know which other university with the number of SAN as lecturers. As far as ASUU strike is concerned, the Lawyers are not bothered.

Is dollars our National currency?
If we decide to be self sufficient, we won't be bothered what the exchange rate is.

This proves that your parent hustle is NOT your hustle. I laugh at many people that believe that "the abroad" is the answer. They say Nigeria is hard but parents working here will pay international student fees to train the child abroad. However, Nigerians in diaspora struggle to pay school fees for their kids. The child will also be forced to get a job while in school.

I expected to see "I am gay"

Educational qualification is not the only criteria and the age requirement involves emotional intelligence. Especially in an institution like the University of Lagos.

I don't understand!!!! What do they mean by Young age??
15yrs young age

In 2002 I had a 14 yrs old as my colleague in CU....

A boy that should be Granted Scholarship is being denied!!

I Advice the Parents to Seek GOD'S Face... this might be some Manupulations

Good one. Although most of them were incompetent and part of the crew that ran the carrier aground. Still a good gesture from FG. They should carry their wahala and go.

This is totally false. I have worked with an airline and most of these airlines and traininh schools are managed and run by ex staff of Nigeria Airways. Obasanjo's move was political.

He needs intervention. Tell your parents, cause you cannot love him better than them, and everyone to take a trip to a psychiatry or remand home. Let him witness the effect on a personal level.

It is the wholesalers (not network providers) that supply "credit" to the bank. That is why they are not complaining, they actually make a bit more

My company deduct about N60k from my salary monthly as tax and remit to the government, yet a civil servant which my tax is more than his wage will tell me nonsense about illegal parking. Nonsense. Selective "justice",

This should not be taken as an insult but as an observation. Imo state has one of the highest number of graduates yearly. Even a whole lot of NYSC members are from institutions from that state but I ?question the quality of graduates they churn out. Also, a whole lot of the indigenous graduates are overage but the institution claim they are younger. I remember when I was in camp, almost all the graduates from Imo state was 25 years old. Even those with kids in secondary school.

I was attacked by armed robbers at that Gbagada U-turn bridge…few metres after the Mobil filling station on Saturday (June 4) at about 10:30pm. It was surreal because of two reasons. First, I had escaped an attempt twice at that same spot and I had mentioned to my friend, who was behind the wheels, to be careful as we approached the bridge. As he drove up the bridge, I spotted a Lexus Jeep parked at the centre of the bridge and two cars drove slowly behind us. The Jeep with registration number AAA856CN began to reverse (awkwardly) and I had a lucky guess. I opened the door to run down the bush path by the side of the bridge but had not turn back. Maybe stupidity but I could not leave my guy behind. Four men fully armed descended on us, shoved us in the back seat, and one of them drove our car. They kept ranting threats…”Kill! Money!! Now!!! Those sorts of things.
The jeep drove behind my car and we began a tour of Lagos Mainland. Anyway, we were robbed- phones stolen and the armed robbers drove to the new GTbank at Ilupeju, along Ikorodu Road to withdraw the funds in my account. One of them walked into the ATM to empty the account boldly. Their next destination was Surulere, driving aimlessly (I thought) because they had no idea what to do with us after they stole all we had and the fuel level was low. They spotted an unlucky chic driving a white jeep alone on the bridge heading to Jibowu. By the way, they drove pass police checkpoints several times without being stopped #justSaying. Back to the chic in a white jeep, my car was used to obstruct hers and their Jeep parked behind her to box her in. The four guys in my car ran out and the same scenario I witnessed about two hours ago played out with the girl as the victim (Yes! We were with them for almost two hours…long story and dispense errors). They abandoned my friend and I in the car and zoomed off with their new victim. The guy that I supposed was their leader threw my key out of the window as they drove off. That was about 12:20am
I had this nasty headache as my head was hit earlier with the butt of a gun as I drove home…it was a state of disbelief as a rock concert played in my head. The next morning, I decided to report to the police station at Ifako and spotted a UBA debit card where one of the armed robbers sat- SAHEED BOLAJI 5199 1101 ****1419. I assumed it must be for one of them. On my way to the station, I felt this was an easy case for the police to crack. I had the registration number of the car that obstructed me in the first place; one of the robbers used the ATM which must have taken his picture, and now a debit card which might belong to any of them. One of these three variables would be a lead… I thought
(Not)surprising the officers that attended to me at Ifako police station made me feel like I wasted my time to report the case. First, I was talked to as if it was my fault. Imagine this question, “Why do you walk around with your ATM card, don’t you know that you are setting yourself up?” At that moment I had no tolerance for BS and my friend was in that same boat. As a Nigerian, I replied the question with another question. “The value of any debit card is the amount in the account which might not be up to N30,000 but most people’s phones are more expensive than their bank balance, does that mean they should leave their phones at home?” My intention was to pen my statement and move ahead as it became clear I was on my own. The officer behind the counter opened his mouth and demand N5,000 to file the case. He posed a threat that if the owner of the debit card reports it stolen before I file my report that I might be in serious trouble. I will have to explain how it got to my possession and it will appear I reported the case because I had to exonerate myself (that kin BS). I had to remind him the reason I was there and that my account was emptied. I had to ask, “do you expect me to steal N5,000?” He reduced the amount to N2,000 as if it was a favour. They were damn serious to receive this amount until a mutual friend at the station paid.
The next day, I called the Inspector and he responded that there was nothing he could do because investigation will take time and money, and if I had both I should come to the station. His attempt was to convince me with his countenance that that was the end of the case and I should count my loss and thank God I was alive. I am grateful to be alive but the point these criminals have to be stopped because their activities have become rampant with careless regard. I was born and breed in Gbagada and it can reoccur and involve someone that I know.
I mean, investigation is not hard (is it) if there is effort. For instance, it is possible the vehicle used to rob me was stolen but at least identify the owner. All the police had to do was log in on FRSC website (http://www.nvisng.org/NumberPlateVerification.aspx) to determine the owner. At least, from the platform available to the public the feedback was “Number Plate is valid and assigned to N/A Lexus Rx 330” On their platform you get the owner’s information and this is less than a minute (even if your network is as slow as …) Next was to approach GTbank for ATM CCTV footage, the last withdrawal was at 12:01am June 5th and we can obtain the robber’s image. The inspector’s response to this suggestion was “So what should I do with the picture because I don’t recognise him or do you recognise him?” In this day and age of social media, someone will recognise him. The UBA debit card left in my car was also pushed aside, “since they don’t know the owner”.
It sucks really, because this will keep happening and we are place in a position to rather inform our relatives and friends to be careful rather than the police. By the way, I feel for whosoever buys my stolen phone Samsung A7 (2016). Stealing phones nowadays is similar to stealing GPS, you will get caught.

I haven't seen a Nurse in Range but I have seen lecturers who got government appointment and can afford Range. One of them is our Vice President

I had discussions with few people who are knowledgeable of how Nigerians have been robbed by politicians and public officers...it is not a joke and people should see beyond smear campaign by opposition parties.

Our banks should assist and not claim files were burnt.

The result looks just like mine so I will tell you what I did.

I studied Psychology (UNILAG) with 5 credits- Mathematics, English, Biology, and any other 2 subjects. Graduated with a 2:1 hons and I work in a company where salary for entry level is above N200k monthly take home.

The way Nigeria is right now, graduating at a young age is more important than a good grade. Take for instance a 28 years old First Class graduate and a 21 years old second class graduate, the younger graduate can attain 2 Masters and 7 years work experience by 28.

Encourage her.

First of all, you don't have a job...it is only Training.

Second, he wants to sample you that's all. You are not the first and more will cum/come after you.

Mr. Hurting, I will list things you need to know
1. Never allow anyone place conditions in your relationship
2. No one is indispensable
3. She is sleeping with the other man
4. She did not make up her mind to dump you last week.
5. She only had the courage to tell you last week
6. You need to focus on yourself
7.Killing yourself will not make her regret dumping you, getting married, and having kids
8. You story will be on Nairaland and people will comment "stupid man
9. Be with someone that will add value to you
10. Officially date your side chic, I am sure you have one

I believe the implementation of TSA was a wonderful idea and matter of observation, Goodluck's administration was to corrupt to implement it. I have an experience to share, a woman was surprised the actual school fees she was supposed to pay since TSA was implemented. Since the money goes directly to the government the school had no opportunity to inflate it as they had done. The same goes for other Ministries.

Next of Kin has no legal implication and do not confuse it with beneficiary. It only refers to the most likely person to get in contact with if the owner isn't available.
Next of Kin won't even grant you N1 in court. Just go the route of Letter of Administration and the closest relatives have access to the cash if there's no will.

blym4real:
Can you expatiate on this sir.

It depends on what. But your bank should be able to assist

carpenter:
Sorry Sir...NO.

You do not fund your bank credit card via CBN advised rates. You fund it via inflow or dollars you deposited (however you got it).

Sir, I am not speculating. This is one thing I do on a daily. You CAN fund USD credit card repayment at CBN rate. Every Nigerian have a limit of USD they can access with CBN.

onatisi:
how do u fund the dollars card? Buy blackmarket rate of 300 USD the put the dollars in ur usd account? Ok so when u pay with a usd dollar card what will be the bank rate ,blackmarket rate or cbn rate ?

NO. You can fund the USD credit card repayment the same way PTA is funded. Advise your bank to purchase from CBN at their advised rate.

Loosely speaking, CBN sells dollars for N199 and if you have a legitimate transaction with the use of FORM M or A, that is the rate that you will be charged. Also, if you have a USD credit card and want to settle money spent it can be done at CBN rate.
The issue is people tend to carelessly use a Naira card for USD transactions. Why don't you just get a USD card?

Don't tell him unless you want to start asking questions like "did you enjoy it?" "did he wear a condom?" "did you cum?"

The relationship ends once he has a satisfactory answer.

The mistake most people make is they strive to get a job an not have a career. If a job experience in a bank suit your career path then go for it. I will advice to start a career in a established organisation like Access Bank because you will learn so much a challenge yourself. Max entry level age for entry level in the bank is 24. I don't know many organisations that will employ graduates in their early twenties a pay them that much with responsibilities to make to mature faster.

You attract to yourself the type of person you are. If you want to appear broke then you should have an idea the type of men to approach you.

And don't involve family members in your finances. They will demeaning your financial needs for theirs and attempt to augment their lifestyle with your cash.

That bridge is DANGEROUS. There was a night some men pointed at the car I was in and screamed "fire". Luckily the driver knew of such trick and did not stop.

I still find it ironic the high rate of armed robberies at areas close to a police station or military barracks.

We are all Nigerians. Some people seem to forget that.

Same way Yorubas from Ijebu and Oyo see Yorubas from Kwara and Lagos as half breeds and Bastards.. At the end of the day, all of una be Yoruba!

Chairman, your opinion about the Yoruba is totally wrong, not because I am one but their culture makes them most receptive. They will marry from any tribe regardless if you call them Osu.

Skye bank was fined over N4billion by CBN and the bank didn't shut its doors. And that bank isn't a Tier 1 bank. Amazing people believe Access Bank, an international bank, will shut doors over what they probably budget on events every year.

Your husband is fixated. His situation is similar to a 2 years old baby that is still addicted to breastfeeding. He needs to learn how to stop.

I experienced something similar in my relationship (ex). She cheated with no remorse but I still wanted her back but she felt insecure that I would revenge and she RAN!!!
