Ogunjobi more like in SW.

RIP.

Ogunji is also a SW name. I had a junior in secondary school in Lagos bearing exact same name as this deceased commissioner, Solomon Ogunji. He's from Okitipupa in Ondo state.

oloripeter:
they called me yesterday for mine date of birth

Seriously I don't understand what they need the date of birth for. One would feel it's stuff like ATM PIN and OTP code they'll need to steal your money.

YourVILAGEpeple:
They are my customers and I know how to handle them....
Why the Waste people no go let use rest biko...
Their mode of speaking English will always give them away......

You're an idiot for bringing tribalism into a thread that has nothing to do with it. The cheap scammer that called you is ill-educated just like you have ill-educated people in every tribe. You said yourself that bank workers are well trained and have good command of English. I don't need to remind that you that we have thousands of Yorubas working in banks and some of the MD/CEOs of top banks are Yoruba. Why then the incoherent insults of Yoruba Olodo nation and other gibberish you wrote in the screenshot attached to your post?

Cmanforall:

Posted April 23rd, and making front page after 1 month.
If truly there was a leakage of confidential information, or fraudsters were making progress in their hack, it will take a month for the mods to put it on their domain's front page.

But write about Regina Daniels tattoo, or snake killed in a bush... And watch how it will be on the front page.

To OP...
I don't think having your BVN by those fraudsters will gain them access to your money. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Most transactions will require either your pin, secret question's answer, signature or their combinations.
In all, let everyone be careful with their details.

That's what you get when incompetent people who place more priority on news of snakes being killed at a farm and E-money stepping out looking dapper on suit are appointed as mods/supermods of the biggest forum in Africa. This is not the Nairaland some of us use to known from way back late 2000s to around 2012-13 where educative, Informative and rich contents grace the front page.

Lalasticlala, this nonsense of pushing snake threads to front page has to end please. Treat this forum as a serious place it deserves to be please.

It is not about showing is about the producers giving her the job. Genny can deliver anytime and anyday

The producers know better than you on the kind of roles that befit each actor/actress.

edoairways:

Genny can do all these

Show us where she did them. Funke is only being modest. She's a more versatile actress than Genevieve.

Okoroawusa:
I get 9 accounts with the same BVN. That one no be news.

Saharareporters should go n sit down. Good investigative journalism is coming out with evidence that those accounts contain proceeds of fraudulent means and how much each account contains.

I have 3 accounts in 3 banks with nothing inside but with the same BVN.

You're trying to sound like you are smart when you are not really smart. I understand you have to defend your paymasters to earn a living but don't try to insult the sensibilities of people in this forum. Not all of us are dumb. We have highly cerebral people here with enviable accomplishments. The so-called 9 accounts linked to your BVN, did you have to use different conflicting names for them? Someone has 64 different accounts linked to his BVN with different funny and conflicting names and surnames. Shouldn't that raise a red flag to a reasonable human being? I shake my head for you.

ibkayee:
Lol I thought maybe it was his accent, but I also asked Siri myself and she told me she doesn't have an answer for it.

Jokes aside, even though Burna Boy gets on my nerves, this is likely just some technology-related issue, if you google Burna Boy there's probably just as much information on him lol but you know people will run with what's funnier

It only shows the limitation of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) built into Siri unlike Google Assistant. It was not trained with enough data. Siri's machine learning algorithm isn't robust enough. It's simply overrated.

That's the only plausible explanation because it's shocking that Siri has no info on someone who's a recent nominee of the biggest global musical awards - The Grammys.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

Nice one
But them for change this Edo location to another local government

Many schools dey that side na
Uniben dey there
Igbinedion university dey there
Ekiadolor dey there

Probably not uhunmwode! Because Ambrose Ali and auchi dey along that side including Edo university iyahmo
And moreover two electrical power plant dey that side( ihovbor)

So Make them push this new college go another side

Just learnt the State College of Edu at Ekiadolor was closed. Perhaps this is meant to take its place.

toffyz:
He sacked TCN boss too na...and he's a Northerner .

So there's nothing to argue about here

Who did he replace the TCN boss with? A fellow Northerner. You'd never see him replace a Northerner with a Southerner but it's almost always the case when it's the other way round, most times without consideration for Federal Character like what he did with the heads of all security agencies - military and paramilitary being Northereners in a multiethnic country like Nigeria and also making the Chairman and Secretary of the Federal Character Commission board Northerners which is an aberration as it has never happened in Nigeria before and defeats the very aim of that agency. So many cases like those of Kemi Adeosun, Onnoghen, Fowler, Uwakwe and many others. It has become more than just a coincidence which is why you see Southerners ranting. I doubt the Northerners would rant only if a Southern President does this. Buhari has set a dangerous precedence that will burn this country as other future Presidents will follow his template. It's only unfortunate that the only agenda he has especially in this second term is to settle his Northern brothers, with nothing to offer others. All revenue generating agencies today are firmly in the hands of Northerners as they are the heads. Any Southerner still supporting and defending his actions is nothing but a fool. No apologies.

myboy2111:
Why is Federal government financing State University? Or is it under TETFUND ,the approval was sought?

Same surprise I felt when I read this post. Since when did FG start directly approving funds for State University projects? I even doubt if this approval is through TETFUND because TetFund have annual budget for infrastructure and training for each public University, and I have never read of when the minister of Education has to seek approval of FEC for a Tetfund project.

Alwaysachick:



Kemi's case is criminal. Are you aware that most people submit thesis but don't defend. Whenever they are ready the school will surely attend to them.

Will such a person call him self a drop out? Will you call your self a dropout if you schooled and submitted your thesis but for reasons like accident you didn't defend?

The case against Igwe is one of the ills or tools of bureaucracy. its normal and allowed.

The minister has spoken and he has been reinstated Kpomkwen

You are a hopeless ethnic bigot and illiterate who doesn't know anything how research programmes like PhDs are run to defend the Igwe guy but cast aspersions on Kemi when both of them are similar. The fergie guy has tried schooling repeatedly on how Igwe messed up but your undeveloped brain can't process beyond tribal slurs- Yoruba vs Igbo in everything. Which backyard University did you and your likes attend where you dont have to defend thesis in a Science discipline but parade yourself as graduate. A whole PhD for that matter. Even ordinary BSc project you can't try such. Imagine the puerile excuse of accident a supposedly sane and "educated" person is coming up with. That accident must have been so powerful to have delayed Igwe from defending his thesis for good 18 years. But suddenly defended when he was being investigated at FIIRO. You don't need to be told that's a sharp sharp arrangee defence. I guess Yoruba people were the ones that convinced him not to defend all this while. Am I right?

If anything, this Igwe saga has exposed that Benin Republic University. How can a reputable University allow someone defend a research completed in 2002 by 2020 in a rapidly changing and dynamic field like the Sciences. Definitely such research outcomes must be obsolete and can't significantly contribute to the current body of knowledge as more recent researches would have given better literature reviews,methodologies and results. What then is the usefulness of such a research/PhD. We're talking about someone who's meant to head a research institute where academic integrity should be upheld at all times and never be compromised.Such a shame for my country Nigeria. A PhD is meant to give a significant contribution to knowledge in that field.

maestroferddi:
Reverse psychology you are trying to use is DOA, ogbeni...

What's my business with you to do reverse psychology on you. I've stated my position on how I view things.

maestroferddi:
You are spewing what the other party fed you...

Wait and here the side of the accused...

It flies against rationality that Dr Ogbonnaya Onu who has built a reputation as a man of integrity would stand against the needful if there were compelling evidence that the man tried to cheat the system...

See I have nothing against the Chima guy honestly. I believe the guy is sound and competent at his job at FIIRO for him to have risen to the top in a reputable research institute. We're talking about somebody who bagged a First Class in a University like UNN. You can't achieve such feat if you're not sound. I also truly believe he completed his research work but did not defend when he should have. I don't understand such level of carelessness from someone of his standing. It's just unfortunate he created the loophole from which he's been attacked today.

How long are we going to wait to hear from the other side. If Chima is innocent in all this, I trust him to have issued a rebuttal to clear his name. No one would sit idly and watch his name being dragged in the mud if he can defend himself.

mannyiyke:
Stop lying. Yorubas defended her.

Do you know it was Yorubas that actually snitched on her. Premium Times that exposed her is owned by a Yoruba man. So what are you talking about?

maestroferddi:
You are not making sense at all...

The Acting DG claimed that he was given an attestation in 2001 for the completion of the PHD program. A dispassionate arbiter will review all matters and treat them on their merit without trying to settle ethnic scores by other means... In any case, trying to use media sensationalism to arrive at an end will prove counter-productive...

We are in this country where cases/allegations concerning persons from a certain section of the country elicit unconscionable opprobrium and condemnation without being subjected to requisite scrutiny...

Tell me...if this Acting DG were Yoruba or from your place, would you have been hyper-ventilating the way you are doing?

I cannot defend flouting of the law...The point is that hatred and intolerance being couched under trying to right wrongs will not take us anywhere...

Do you complete a PhD programme without a thesis defence ? Someone completed a PhD program in 2001 without thesis defence. He did re-registration in the University in 2019/2020 session in order to defend in February, 2020. Is that how PhD programmes are run in the University you went to? Do you re-register for a programme that you've finished and you've been awarded certificate for? Mind you the certificate he presented recently after the defence had February, 2020 as its effective date. That sums it all. Yet you're defending the indefensible. Many of us here are in the academia, have PhD and are familiar with how things work in the academia being stakeholders.

As for your point if it was Yoruba, whether I'll talk. Kemi Adeosun story was investigated and made public by Premium Times, owned by a Yoruba man. Yorubas were the most vocal calling for her removal. We didn't create threads and needless points to defend her like you're doing now.

Iceberg3:


That's igbos for you, Igbos like Kemi Adeosun Nysc

Yorubas did not go about defending Kemi Adeosun when she was indicted, like the way shameless people like you and your type are displaying on this thread.

maestroferddi:
An intelligent person should hear both sides of the story before leaping to conclusions...

But we are talking about you whom the thought of Igbo wakes up in the middle of the night...not that you can do anything about the momentum.

If you are not biased, will you not have been able to see that there appeared more than met the eye in the so-called investigation...

Was an investigation/inquiry supposed to be a witch hunt where the indicted party is deemed guilty before looking into the issue?

The Board Chairman is apparently trying to embarrass the minister and no-one will sit down and watch some disgruntled element hide under the guise of a probe to settle some base scores...

It's the minister that's trying to embarrass himself. A guy that ought to be dismissed out of the service for fraud was granted favour by being demoted only, and the Minister is asking for him to be reinstated as DG of a whole Research institute. Do you know anything about academic integrity. Imagine defending same thesis of a research you started since 2001 in 2020 in a rapidly changing and dynamic field like the sciences. That alone should raise eye-brows to a sane person. What both sides do you want to hear when the story, correspondence and all are in the public domain from the said University in Benin Republic, ICPC and FIIRO. Igwe hasn't come out to dispute any. You dont go about defending people stupidly because they're from your tribe even when they're clearly wrong. There are fraudulent and honest people in every tribe.

bellenornor:

But one could become a midwife on the long run, from such college, right?

Most definitely.. Midwifery doesn't require a degree. You have to either chose the Nursery or Midwifery path in this kind of college.

bellenornor:
How does one apply for admission bikonu. A second degree in nursing ain't bad

What you get from such college is a Diploma as a Registered Nurse (RN - 3 years programme) not a degree. You need to go to the University to study B.Sc Nursing/Nursing Science for 5 years minimum to get a degree in Nursing.

Sixfeetbelle:


Stop putting your parents on a pedestal. That's all I have to reply you.

If you don't put your parents on a pedestal, then who should get such honour? Even the Bible says, honour your father and mother so your days can be long. After God, your parents are next. You don't talk back at or "caution" your parents, especially as a well-bred African child.

StubbornGENIUS:
@thegiftedone,how can you forget one of the deadliest trio of the EPL era:suarez,sturridge And Sterling. Even the current liverpool squad can't match their feat!

You have no point. How many goals and assists combined did those trio have compared with Sallah, Mane and Firmino. What were their achievements trophy-wise? You are comparing with this current trio that took Liverpool to the final of the Champions League back-to-back and won the second one, while narrowly losing out the league with a staggering 97 points and now this season they're running away with the league. So what are you saying. Suarez is the only person in that trio I can put ahead of the current ones. You can't compare prime Sterling now at Man City with these guys not to talk of Sterling then that was still growing up. Is it Sturridge you wanna compare with these ones. Can't you see how they phase him out of the current team into oblivion.

lichocho:
just check stats scholes is nowhere to be found among dem...

Don't mind Man Utd fans with the undeserved hype of Scholes. This is a player that spent 20 seasons at Man Utd and was never voted as Man Utd player of the year not to talk of EPL/PFA Player of the year, not even once. They're comparing with Gerrard and Lampard that won the award numerous times. In terms of goals scored, assists made and other meaningful stats, those two dwarfed him. He couldn't even make the cut at the National team ahead of those two, but Man U want us to believe he's the best thing since sliced bread.

Good thing Teni identifies very well with her mum's side -Ondo. She doesn't really speak much about Ekiti where her dad is from.

Apologize:
And this is news? Na wa Seun its high time you employ new set ofMods oh!

If you want to read news, then stick to Punch, Vanguard, The Nation and the likes. Nairaland is not a newspaper company. It's an interactive forum for crying out loud with different sections - celebrities, sports, religion, Politics etc.

omonnakoda:
He is not even the best Cameroonian
Did he win the Nations Cup

So because those before him did not play in Europe he is better?

We need to get rid of colonial mentality.

We had great footballers in the 80s and 90s from Africa and Cameroon particularly

Messi's will always be haunted by his international failures.

You know nothing about football to make such annoying and ignorant statements about Eto'o.So please tell us who's the best Cameroonian footballer if not Eto'o? We're talking about a player who is the all-time highest goal scorer in the Cameroon National team till date even after he retired many years ago, won back-to-back Nations cup in 2000 and 2002 where Cameroon came to our backyard in Lagos to win the Nations Cup in 2000 with Eto'o and Mboma scoring in that final, won the Olympics with Cameroon same year, won back-to-back African Player of the year in 2003,2004,2005 and then 2010 (a record 4-times, only Yaya Toure equals that), went on to dominate football at club level winning every trophy imaginable playing for top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea, and even finishing the 3rd best player in the world in 2005(2nd Runner-up Ballon D'Or behind Ronaldinho and Lampard). Who on earth in Africa has such records, not to talk of within Cameroon only?

Teebilion:
How did Kane and Son enter this list , And how come Alan shearer is not here

But statistically Aguero and Henry are most influential

Imagine the insult, putting the likes of Kane and Son and omitting someone like Gerrard.

I received exactly same call as the OP early last month. When he asked for my real Date of Birth after calling the correct and incorrect year, I intentionally gave him the correct one and told him not to bother asking me for any OTP code that will be sent to me cos I know his game being an IT person. He started swearing that he'll deal with me and empty my account. They were many of them cos I could hear their voices at the background. I told him to go ahead. He angrily cut the call. I think those guys have accomplices in those banks though, particularly Access bank.

Nairalandmonika:

Ya, eto also played in between clubs than jj, I don't think eto will do exploit in a club like Bolton.

When you're exceptional, the best comes for you. That's why Eto'o played for the likes of Madrid, Barça, Inter and Chelsea. JJ is a perfect example of someone that didn't operate at the level he was supposed to. With this skills and gifts, it's shameful he settled for the likes of Bolton. He had all of took to be the very best.

Nairalandmonika:
In terms of football skills okocha surpass eto

Football isn't just about showboating and dancing on the ball.

Greatomotoy:

Did u Watch George Opong Weah when he was playing?

George Weah was good no doubt but his career at the very top lacked longevity. His National team career was almost non-existent. You can't say same for Eto'o. Providence just smiled on Weah. Eto'o was a menace for quite a while in Europe. Just look at his array of goals and trophy cabinet. Weah doesn't come close to that.
