TV/MoviesRe: Only People Born In 80's Will Understand by AKAyomide(m): 10:32pm On Jul 05, 2025
I always hung out at the windows of people’s sitting rooms to watch movies in the late 1900s and early 2000s. This was so common when Super Eagle was playing, and few households could afford to have a TV set in their houses. Thank God for globalization!

Nairaland GeneralRe: Name One Mistake You've Made In Life So Someone Else Doesn’t Make It by AKAyomide(m): 2:16pm On May 31, 2025
Never tell your friends and family members when you are doing so good for yourself. Hates and jealousy are always created especially if you are doing good for yourself. They will always intend you to do for them more after you have assisted them in your little ways. Keep the growth to yourself alone! This is one big mistake I have made so far in my life but I am in the correct phase. When they make money they’ll never inform you because they dislike sharing their fortune with you. It is a life lesson to me.

I could imagine what might be going on in the man's mind. The man's time was wasted while the lady mama was chopping for a befitting man for her. What will the man tell his friends about the situation? Assuming it is a man that treats a woman like that, the whole universe will be saying men are scum!

PoliticsRe: Bill To Create Prime Minister Office Passes Second Reading At HoR by AKAyomide(m): 6:53pm On Mar 27, 2025
This is the wrong bill honestly! It will create an ethnicity problem in domination at the House of Representatives, and limit people from other regions living in the region will be created their political liberty. Imagine the number of seats that will be located in the northern region in the House of Representatives, the seats will be more than the other regions and it will lead to the creation of regional political parties such as was in the Independence Constitution and republican constitution of 1963 which gives northern region maximum seats than the southern contact parts. Imagine that all the seats in the northern region were won by one political party then the party forms the government and a prime minister. Then this system of government will create a fear of domination to the minority so they will agitate for another system of government to suit them

Are you aware that your Wike once got budget approval from five members of the House of Assembly in the same Rivers state?
You are so wrong! There is no time in the history of Rivers State that Wike passed the budget by five members. You are one of those dullard in this forum! Those lawmakers who aren’t on the floor of the hallowed chamber were removed from the chamber by the Court of Appeal due to their election fraud! A rerun was scheduled to happen when the budget was prevented! It is a different situation! The budget can’t be held down for the rerun election to be conducted because it took 6 good solid months before it was conducted by INEC! I hate people like you who always go around with I hear say!

That so called "crime" will set her on a path of fulfilment. Remember how ronus almost killed themselves over a lady's comment about the unforgivable stench and smell in Lagos? Well, the lady is in the US now, practising her nursing career.

Her enemies are still in "their" Lagos smoking the smell and stench day in day out. Politicians saw how people came forward to defend their failures, and that ultimately gave them more reasons to ignore the truth (smell) 😂.

When you know and speak the truth, you'll be set free, someday, somehow. Don't feel for her. Her courage has opened doors.

She doesn’t know what she is doing honestly! She has committed a crime against the rules and regulations that guide NYSC. Many of them just go to national service and they didn’t know that as a corper you don’t have any right to involve yourself in any political engagement in the country while serving. She is just like a Nigeria arm force whose Political Liberty (her fundamental rights are being checked out) is being controlled by the state. I feel for us

In a country where election results are written in the confines of an individual's house this people want one INEC to believe that the signatures of the voters will not be forged and they will just gather people around and tell us that they have signed.....

Rubbish is what they are try to actualize.
It isn’t done that way! A date will be fixed and it will be announced in the old and new media outlets. Just like the voter register will be used for the signatures paper. The card reader will be subjected to be used to read those voters card. If it isn’t done rightfully it will be a wasted exercise

They will be reinstated because whatever law the State Assembly has modified is contrary to the law of the FGN.
This particular law from the RSHoA will never stand at all whatsoever. The FGN law supersedes all laws and whatever is contrary is null, void, and empty.
No sir. You are so wrong. The tenure of the local government chairman can be elongated. Supreme Court recognizes the possibility of extending the tenure of local government chairmen under exceptional circumstances, such extensions must be legally justified and not serve as a substitute for conducting timely elections. The Court condemns any actions that illegally terminate or unduly prolong the tenure of elected local government officials, underscoring the importance of adhering to constitutional provisions and upholding democratic values. Regarding tenure extension in the absence of elections, the Supreme Court acknowledged that while the Constitution allows for tenure extensions under specific circumstances—such as insecurity or war that make elections impracticable—this provision should not be misused to undermine the democratic process. The Court highlighted that any attempt to prematurely end or unlawfully extend the tenure of local government councils without due process violates the electorate’s mandate and contravenes democratic principles. As it stands in Rivers State, the interpretation gives the right for the previous local government chairman to return to their council till the local government election is being conducted. It is a lawful procedure. The law passed by the Rivers State Assembly didn’t contradict what the Supreme Court said. The lawyer passed from Rivers State stated the duration for the elongated to six months while the election is being conducted. We should not always miss emotion with the law!
PoliticsRe: Rivers Crisis: Constituents Commence Recall Proceedings Against Amaewhule by AKAyomide(m): 10:06am On Mar 13, 2025
It is so difficult to recall an elected lawmaker in the country. The constitution provides that in the process of the recall, 50% of the voters who cast their votes in the 2023 House of Assembly election signatures need to be on the provided document by INEC. The petition needs to be looked into and INEC has no financial support to conduct an election because it is a commission that works with the budget. The lawyer is wasting his time right now. The 50% of the voters who cast their votes for the speaker may not be alive again, some may not have their voter cards again, some may have relocated, some may not be interested in the process while others will surely support what the speaker is doing. We should always remember that we practice representative democracy in Nigeria. What the speaker is doing is by the will of his elected constituent members not by his alone. He does his consultation properly with his constituents and the majority always has a say!

Even if local government elections won't hold, assuming they succeed. Fubara will appoint a caretaker committee, not the former chairmen returning, especially Nwanosike.

Rivers State has been in the news so much that I know almost all the names of their current political office holders more than my state.
He doesn’t have the power to appoint a caretaker chairman to all the local government secretariat and caretaker chairmen aren’t known to the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria . The Supreme Court gave a final verdict last year that in case the tenure of the elected chairman has expired the tenure can be elongated pending to the local government election being conducted. The Rivers State Assembly has made a law ruled by the two-third majority to overrule the governor's power to sign the enactment to become a law. As it stands, by the chance of the Supreme Court interpretation those chairman whose tenure has expired will be reinstated till the local government election is conducted. Please don’t miss emotions with the law of the land, thank you.
CrimeRe: Ogun: Police Arrest Suspected Ritualist With Fresh Human Head by AKAyomide(m): 9:12am On Dec 23, 2024
I haven’t come across good news from Ogun State for a long time and this is always giving me a solid headache. How do human beings believe that money comes or can be generated by killing another soul without logical hard work? Since I have been reading police reports in Ogun state it has always been a ritual killing. I think the religious leaders in that state need to preach more and make discouraging statements about the ethical dangers of engaging in that kind of inhumane behavior.

Good evening, pls I want to apply for a France visa, my husband is my sponsor as we are to go together, how much do I need to have. in my account, I know it's just one of the requirements, but would having like 2.2m in my account be enough? Someone said I should have like 6m but I don't want to add money that I cannot account for as my date is very close based on what I've read here
You need to have a good fund like 5-6 Million in your account because personal bank statements must show evidence of your financial situation to ensure you can cover your expenses while abroad. If your appointment date is closer and you have already 2.2M in your account you can still make it up to 6M but make 3 deposits in a day maybe depositing 500K, 200K, and 600K with a solid narrative which serves as a proof of purpose. Notwithstanding; your personal bank account must have a solid transaction history from Withdrawal and Lodgment. Personal; I submitted my personal bank statement with a closing balance of 6.1M for a tourist visa application for seven days with my employer's bank statement with a withdrawal of 135M and Lodgment of 136m and a closing balance of 2.7M. What I know is that your personal bank statement is the primary financial document.

No please. France processes her visa application for only 15 working days excluded of weekends( Saturday and Sunday). In most situations, it takes maximum of 20 working days to get it processed.

Africankel:
There's no golden rule for visa applications, however it is important that an applicant demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to cover the trip, which is €120 per day for France or an average of €3000 closing balance. Closing balance play a critical role in the adjudication of a visa application especially for first time travellers.

A visa officer will naturally see that it makes no sense that you present an account balance of ₦5m for example, and want to spend all or ₦4m on a trip of 5 days. That visa is likely to be denied on the grounds that "the information submitted was not reliable" - except the applicant demonstrates that they can easily lay their hands on additional funds in case of emergencies.

The scrutiny for frequent travellers are usually more relaxed.
Around June of this year; I saw a comment whereas someone got his Visa issued for tourist with a close balance of 3M on dot and the person applied for two weeks. I personally, I applied for 7 day’s tourist visa with a closing balance of 6.150M. With my calculation, the trip shouldn’t cost more than 4M.
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by AKAyomide(m): 1:03pm On Nov 11, 2024
Opeyemi007:
It has everything to do with what money you’d come back to after your trip. People have gotten visas with a lesser account balance, but what was the exchange rate then? 3m is less than $2k. If you were to apply for a UK visa with that, they’d refuse you saying you do not have enough funds and might have nothing to return to after your trip. If the applicant has a great travel history, it helps. But spending say 3m out of 5m balance for a vacation doesn’t look good. Unless they can show they have solid funds in investments. It doesn’t mean the poster can’t get the visa tho. I got my Canada visa with less than a 250k balance, but I showed I could pull the money needed for my trip from my money instruments.
For God's sake, this isn’t a UK visa application for a tourist visa. It’s France and the maximum amount of money that’s needed to budget for the 5 days should be around €600. As I know; what matters is that you need to present a bank statement that has a good inflow and out of money. You can have 5M in your account and still be issued. I would love to ask you a question; applicant who applied for a long visiting visa of 10 years in Canada, are you saying that he needs to present a bank statement that will make the applicant go and come back within the duration of the visa to present a bank statement that will speak that is the applicant goes to the Canada territory within the duration then there should be money for the applicant to come on to spend after the elapsed of the visa
