Please ignore my typing errors.
I have been borrowing from this app for sometime now until I decided to stop due to the one week duration they do give and the high interest rate during this interval

After 2days an agent of them chatted me up and told me about the increment in my loan to 50k and and extended duration of 1 month, I told him if its not what he said then I will wait he said no problem. He even said I should carry him along while doing it.

I went to the app clicked on it and saw 55k to pay 66k and after I did it I received an alert of 38k in my account instead of the 55k and a one week duration at that to pay 66k.

I chatted that agent to tell him about the outcome but he ignored me, I called him up he refused to answer, I told him I want to refund the money because I don't need it, as I did tell him initially yet he was ignoring me.

After three days I contacted another agent of theirs and told him about the incident he later gave me an account number to refund the principal, which I did immediately

Fast forward to one week later these people started threatening the hell of my life that I must pay those interest, that is non of their business. One even openly told me that they are trained to Deceive their customers and tell them lies do at to attract them.

Even till today am still receiving threatening messages from them

please I need an appropriate place to channel this. thanks

EducationNmesoma And JAMB: Probing The Integrity Of Our National Institutions by Alexious(op): 5:55pm On Jul 05, 2023
Miss Nmesoma Ejikeme took her 2023 JAMB at my foundation’s Computer-Based Testing (CBT) Center at Obosi. I got some calls from worried friends about Nmesoma’s result, which had Thomas Chidoka Center as her examination center. I allayed their worries that the result issue had nothing to do with the examination center.

I observed two significant red flags when I saw her result online. First, our center is no longer addressed as Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development on the JAMB portal since 2021. The correct name on the JAMB portal and Main Examination Slip is Nkemefuna Foundation (Thomas Chidoka Center for Human Development). Due to the difference in our CAC registration details, JAMB insisted we change to Nkemefuna Foundation with Thomas Chidoka in a bracket as an identifier. We implemented the name change in 2021. Her result showing Thomas Chidoka without the Nkemefuna Foundation, which was on her Main Examination slip, raised my suspicion about the genuineness of the result.

The second red flag was the result template. A cursory review of some of those who took the last examination at our center showed a different result slip template with the candidate’s passport picture, JAMB watermarks, and no mention of the name of the examination center. I gave the young Nmesoma the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if she would explain how she got the result, which is obviously not the result template that Jamb used in 2023. I knew it was fake.

Our Center has been involved with the JAMB CBT examination since 2016, and I have come to trust the integrity of the JAMB online examination platform. As Corps Marshal in 2011, I used JAMB to conduct the FRSC recruitment exercise that is still adjudged a high-water mark in public sector recruitment. Those recruited through that process wear their uniform with pride and continue to deliver value to the organisation to this day.

For me, the real issue in this saga is the level of distrust of our national institutions. The social media frenzy and denigration of JAMB, together with the ethnic slant of a simple issue with clear and verifiable methods of resolution, is symptomatic of the deep distrust of our national institutions. This distrust was deepened in the past 8 years with a horrifying descent of issues to our national fault lines. The Ethnicisation of the issue is sad and disappointing.

I doff my hat for JAMB. They came out forcefully and defended their integrity vigorously. They shared the USSD communication between Nmesoma’s phone and their servers with timestamps. Mr. Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB spokesperson, did a yeoman’s job in explaining how their system works and the security of their result portal. He even asked anyone who cares to crosscheck with AIRTEL, the network provider of Nmesoma.’s phone. Their transparency was compelling and disarming.

The JAMB Registrar, Professor Oloyede, issued statements based on facts and defended the integrity of a foremost Nigerian institution whose failure would have had a catastrophic effect on Nigeria’s educational and CBT systems. I was impressed. JAMB’s reaction and responsiveness should be made a minimum benchmark for government agencies. Our universities should write case studies of this saga so other institutions can learn how to navigate social media and information management in the face of unrelenting attacks.

JAMB's response is an example to follow. If INEC leadership has any sense of shame and any shred of integrity, they should save President Tinubu from a needless legitimacy question by behaving like JAMB. They should step forward and explain what technical glitch they had on election day that marred the upload of form EC8As from polling units across the country. They should share with the public the interaction between the BVAS sim cards and their servers. They should share the audit report of their servers during the failed upload. When Dominion, an election system company in the United States, was defamed by FOX TV, they went to court to defend the integrity of their system, and the court awarded them $700M. Maintaining the integrity of elections is fundamental to democracy.

INEC, as a public-funded institution, should share with the citizens all forms EC8Bs collated at the 8809 wards, EC8Cs, collated at the 774 LGAs, and EC8Ds collated at the 36 States and fully upload all the EC8As on IREV after the fact using the original copies submitted by the Presiding officers. This cannot be asking for too much from an institution led by a professor who spent $650.57 million (N303.17 billion) to conduct the 2023 election.

Like Jamb, INEC must be accountable to the people of Nigeria. They should step forward and restore the integrity and sanctity of elections in Nigeria and remove the cloud of illegitimacy surrounding the election of President Tinubu if their system worked as they are claiming. The courts can not remove the national disappointment, odium, and massive distrust of INEC’s election infrastructure, no matter the decision.

For Nmesoma, she should come clean and explain how she got that result and who led her down that path. If she does that, I will lend my voice to beg JAMB to note her age and show more leniency.

That is a valid point. however, for her to have said she printed it from JAMB'S portal is false. Other candidates who wrote the same exam have their pictures and correct dates of birth on the notification of result. Why is her own showing discrepancy? Go listen to what the Jamb spokesperson said on this case.

Naijafrontpage:
On the Nmesoma vs JAMB saga, I have trained myself to see issues dispassionately no matter the sentimental push, I try to go for balance in every issue.

Folks are now playing Tribal cards and directly accusing the examination body of ethnic bias against the little girl, not minding that from JAMB,s official record the overall best is from Anambra state.

Nmesoma's father Mr Ejikeme, said, JAMB is envious of her daughter and wants to run her down

I have repeatedly listened to the smart, intelligent, 19 year old Nmesoma Ejikeme and I have also been patient enough to listen to JAMB,s side of the story.

Nmesoma said she got the printout from the JAMB portal, but JAMB is insisting that the smart and brilliant Nmesoma who claimed to have scored 362 as her aggregate has questions to answer as to how she arrived at the result she is parading that won her Innosons 3 million Naira scholarship.

The Wahala be say, JAMB said in their records no candidate scored 362, so what happened?

The DSS got involved but unfortunately they don't owe us public explanation as to what their findings are and I see a nexus between the 3 years ban on Nmesoma and the DSS findings.

Let me digress, my son is 14 and he is IT proficient and to my amazement the guy knows so much about the Internet and how to manipulate it using online apps that I don't even know exist,

I will encourage guys to always go close to their children, be their friend and search them out once in a while you will be amazed at how much knowledge of the internet they possess and how they can manipulate it to achieve whatever they want.

But Nmesoma said she lacks the capacity for such manipulation "I AGREE" after all she is Igbo, and nwa chineke


But JAMB is insisting that no body scored that much in their records, and that Nmesoma's aggregate was 269, I also believe them after all they are the only body with the sole authority to mark exam scripts and award aggregates

Its natural for us to blame JAMB because of the minor blips that usually occur in their centers and Result portals but from the verifications that has been conducted using the QR code, the name on the result Nmesoma is parading belongs to Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle", and she sat for the UTME in 2021 scoring 138. JAMB claimed the printout she is displaying was outdated in 2021 and that there are many Fake JAMB Result Apps in different play stores.

JAMB had also released her actual UTME RESULT Slip that has her photograph and the score was 269


Yes, JAMB rigged Nmesoma's result because she is an Igbo girl and biafra wants to secede, oh, I forgot she is of the same tribe with Peter Obi?

Why cant we pause for a second and ask ourselves what JAMB will want to achieve by denying her of her correct scores?

I believe we will do better if we begin to take on issues strictly on its worth and not based on sentiments and biases....

Pros And Cons Of CNG Cars
Copied.
BY MOHANA SARMA ·

Compressed natural gas, or CNG, is an environmentally beneficial alternative to petrol. CNG has non-toxic components which do not pollute nature and groundwater. That feature makes it better and more environment friendly than petrol and diesel. It is made by compressing natural gas, methane, to less than 1% of its original volume. This is the same natural gas that you use every day to heat your home and water, cook on the stove, and even dry your clothes in the dryer. Both commercial and non-commercial cars are increasingly using CNG as a fuel.


Natural gas from a local gas (utility) line arrives at the station at a low pressure. It’s the same gas that heats your house and powers your clothes drier. The fuel is subsequently compressed to a greater pressure by an underground compressor. After the natural gas has been compressed, the CNG is delivered to storage tanks so that it can be used immediately.


In commuting applications, compressed natural gas can be employed. You’ll need either a specialized CNG vehicle or a bi-fuel vehicle to use CNG in your car. A dedicated CNG vehicle is one that only operates on compressed natural gas. A bi-fuel car is one that can run on either petrol or compressed natural gas. If you don’t have one of these vehicles, you’ll need to engage a licensed CNG installer to install a conversion kit in your vehicle if you want to use CNG instead of petrol or diesel.

CNG is very friendly for the environment. It produces very less air pollution which is beneficial for the environment. Natural gas, rather than diesel or petrol, helps to minimize small soot particles that can aggravate asthma and other respiratory problems.

Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of CNG cars :

Advantages of CNG Cars
Eco-Friendly Alternative


To begin with, CNG cars are far more environmentally friendly than petrol-powered vehicles. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) emits far fewer hydrocarbon emissions than LPG, petrol, or diesel. Therefore, CNG is the most preferred and good choice for car owners. It is very environmentally friendly for society.

Engine Performance Improvements
Because CNG cars use clean fuel, they have a healthier engine. When using CNG, the spark plugs and converters remain in good condition. As a result, Compressed Natural Gas provides a more efficient engine by reducing carbon deposits during combustion.

Economical
CNG is cost-effective and saves you a lot of money. Other fuel sources have more fluctuating prices, whereas CNG has a more consistent price.

Maintenance Costs are Reduced
Because CNG is a clean fuel, your car will not clog, resulting in lower maintenance expenditures. You may save a lot of money with reduced maintenance expenditures, which include less oiling, greasing, and part replacement.

Disadvantages of CNG Cars
Less storage space
Compartments in cars are stored with CNG tanks which are present in the cargo. Because of this, space becomes very less as it takes a lot of extra space in the back of the car which causes problems for the passengers. You should always keep in mind that you will lose much of your car’s cargo space and capacity if you purchase a CNG car or even if you decide to change your car from a regular one to a CNG equipped car.

Purchase costs are higher
Car producers and manufacturers make and offer diesel cars, petrol cars and CNG cars to its customers. However, CNG cars are more expensive and costly than the other two because of their features. Some cars do not have a CNG kit already available inside. Owners in that case have to pay extra money to get in equipped in their cars.

Reduced efficiency
CNG vehicles are well-known for their environmental friendliness. However this feature doesn’t come so easily. It comes at the expense of the performance. The acceleration is less efficient in a CNG car compared to other cars.

Availability is limited
The biggest problem that CNG car owners face is that CNG fuel stations are very limited. Because of this many people get skeptical when they think of buying a CNG car. Many parts of our country don’t offer this fuel as it is not easily available. Even in cities where CNG fuel is available, the number of CNG stations is restricted, making it difficult for CNG to become widely used.

Is a CNG Car worth buying?
CNG cars can save you a lot of money in the long term, even if petrol cars have higher performance, lower beginning expenses, and reduced maintenance costs. It is unquestionably a superior option, given the large volatility of petrol costs and the minute volatility of CNG prices. When compared to a petrol-powered car, CNG can provide superior mileage.

Petrol cars are twice as expensive as CNG ones. The current rates are 108 for petrol and 49.40 for compressed natural gas. If you need a car for daily travel, CNG is an excellent option. If your trip is just on a sporadic or irregular basis, you should choose petrol. Petrol will cost you roughly 4000 to 5000 rupees if you fill up your tank before beginning your journey. CNG, on the other hand, will only achieve roughly 1000 to 1200 miles per gallon.

Does CNG reduce engine life?
Many engines that have been modified to run on CNG or LPG have a longer lifespan than equivalent engines that run on petrol. One reason is that clean-burning gas does not degrade engine oil as much as petrol does, resulting in longer engine and oil life. You don’t need gas to grease the cylinders since the splash from the always-like-new crankcase oil does it.

If the engine is set up for CNG, it has no effect on the engine’s longevity. However, if you use CNG in your petrol car, the engine life would be drastically reduced. Because the intake and outflow valves are not lubricated, the valves and cylinder will corrode. When we utilize fuel, it acts as a lubricant for both the valve and the cylinder. Many buses in Ahmedabad run on compressed natural gas (CNG) with a compression ratio of 18. When we utilize CNG with a higher compression ratio than a petrol car with a compression ratio of 8 to 12, we are making effective use of it. However, due to poor lubricating quality of gasses, all buses require extensive maintenance.

Maintenance of CNG Cars
Although CNG cars are inexpensive, they do need good maintenance . When compared to petrol, CNG is a highly combustible gas. Accidents can occur even if there is a minor leak from the CNG cylinder or fuel line. That is why maintaining a CNG vehicle is so crucial.

Let’s have a look at some tips to maintain your CNG Car:

Replace your spark plugs with CNG-compatible ones
Because they are responsible for fuel combustion, spark plugs are one of the most crucial components of an engine. Make sure you replace your spark plugs with CNG-compatible ones when installing a CNG kit. If you can’t find CNG-compatible spark plugs, you’ll have to narrow the distance between the spark source and the spark plug’s metal tip.

Unauthorized CNG kits must be avoided
Modern CNG automobiles come with factory-installed CNG kits, and it’s always preferable to buy a CNG car with a CNG kit already installed. However, the majority of individuals attempt to convert their petrol cars to CNG cars, and in the process, they wind up having a local mechanic install a CNG kit. Avoid using local dealers or mechanics to install CNG kits because this could result in leaks or damage to the car’s mechanicals.

Checks on a consistent basis
Check the cylinder and fuel lines for leaks or damage on a regular basis if you own a CNG vehicle. Overfilling the cylinder should also be avoided, as this can result in gas leaks. CNG leakage can be deadly because it can result in an explosion. As a result, you should inspect the cylinder for symptoms of damage or leaks on a regular basis, and if necessary, have the CNG kit serviced by a qualified technician.

Avoid Using Low-Quality Accessories
When installing a CNG kit, avoid utilizing low-quality parts. Check to see if the cylinder and fuel lines are of good quality and made according to industry requirements. Make sure the CNG kit you purchase is compatible with your vehicle. If the kit is incompatible with the automobile or of poor quality, there is a great risk of fire or damage to the car’s components.

CNG Car vs. Petrol Car
Mileage
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is used in CNG cars, and the fuel is measured in kilograms rather than liters.
When compared to a petrol car, a CNG vehicle has a high fuel economy.
For example, the Wagon R’s CNG version gets 32.52 kilometers per kilogramme of CNG. In comparison, the petrol model gets 21.79 kilometers per liter of petrol.
Engine Life
It is said that use of CNG fuel will make your engine lifespan shorter than it usually is. However, this is just another myth and misconception regarding CNG fuel. With the correct use of CNG kits installed in factories will help your car’s engine to live longer and work with more efficiency.

Modern CNG cars with factory-installed CNG kits are equipped with an ECU (Electronic Regulation Unit) that allows for precise fuel delivery control. The components of the engine are made keeping in mind about the fuel of CNG. Because of that the lifespan of the engine doesn’t get affected. With proper care and maintenance, you can have the most of your car and its engine as it will work smoothly.

Maintenance
CNG cars and petrol cars components that are used in the mechanics of the car are completely identical and same. However, the CNG kit is different. It includes things like the tank and fuel lines among all the other components of a CNG car. Both CNG and petrol cars require the same basic maintenance. But a CNG car requires more care and attention as it has many other components attached to it. The rest of the car’s maintenance is similar to that of a petrol car.

Westerhoffe:
Hope it has a low explosion possibility?
According to the standards, all CNG fuel storage cylinders must be manufactured to withstand 2.25 times their fill pressure. This means that all CNG cylinders have a minimum burst pressure of 8,100 . This cannot explode easily even in high temperature.

It includes things like the tank and fuel lines among all the other components of a CNG car. Both CNG and petrol cars require the same basic maintenance. But a CNG car requires more care and attention as it has many other components attached to it. The rest of the car’s maintenance is similar to that of a petrol car.

TimmyPraise1:
Good day, great minds. Please, I have a sum of 300k with me and I am interested in running a viewing center, please how can I go about it, I need your advice or even on alternative business that will yield good profit. Thanks.
Well, it's not a bad idea though times are changing. However, you must take into account the following factors;
1. Location.
2. Available of opportunity to service your target market.
3. Are you going to incorporate complimentary business along with it ? e.g Drinks, snacks, food?
Then I think you would be looking at Power generation, Tv sets, shop or shade. Do your research well.

Hello guys, I'm about to relocate to Abuja in less than 2 weeks. I searched for the best areas to start from online and ask a few friends and now I'm left with two options: Kubwa and Lugbe.

For a backstory;
I am a freelancer so I work majorly from home. But I'm also considering Abuja because of my fisheries skills.

So, I want a place with a good network and reasonable ​power supply (minimum of 6 - 12 hours).

My budget is 600k for accommodation for a room & parlour.

Which of these two places do you think is better?

I look forward to reading all your contributions, thank you!
I lived in kubwa, I think 600 might get you a room and parlor. Kubwa is good in terms of road network and water. Power? Some places have good power supply and some don't.
Proximity to the city centre, lugbe is closer. But I think you can pick kubwa over lugbe.

What is the location? Any of them is good, however the success lies in good planning, verification of person's who wants to take up the contract. Agreements must also be drafted. But I think the hire purchase is ideal.
Cheers!

Good afternoon house,I am thinking of going into transportation business and as such,would like to hear suggestions for cheap toks hummer bus prices and where to get them.

Would I also get a good driver for the car? Or how lucrative is this business ?

Thanks to all contributors.

Furthermore, getting a good driver is not entirely bad, I'll suggest if you are getting a hummer bus, go for Foreign used, not Nigerian used. Also, you should have a reliable mechanic that would inspect the vehicle.

You can also register the vehicle with a transport company and have agreed amount remitted to you on a weekly basis for a specific period of time.

You have to know what you really want before going into the business. A lot of people just say things they have little or no knowledge about based on hearsay. However, transport business like every other business in Nigeria has its own challenges, if no plan is in place to mitigate them, a sad experience awaits the investor.

My advice, if ur not d one driving it,forget abt it, u will end in lost, use d money to invest in something else period.
That's not entirely true, am also into transport business at the moment and it's not as you have painted it if you don't do your homework well and be involved in the management and supervision.
