Phones › Re: Does Nigerian Customs Charge This High For Ordinary Smartphone Sent From US? by alfajohn:
Nigerian custom looking for money with red eye. Bought clothes worth 193 British pounds and was given a duty of 39k to pay. The annoying thing is that the cloths have been sent by Royal Mail/ Nipost since 1st of August but it never came. The seller had to declare the merchandise lost in transit after 30 working days and I elected for reissue but had to ship by DHL that cost 56 pounds instead of refund. So you are lucky Nipost even delivered you merchandise. The merchandise was eventually delivered by NIPOST
Health › Re: I'm a super Skinny dude. Nairaland Body Builders, Pls help my case by alfajohn: 10:28am On Sep 24, 2020
Do have an healthy appetite. I was like that when I was 16 just fresh from secondary school. My mom was always complaining. Two things if you self service stop it it drains your body especially when you are naturally skinny. Two, look for something that will make you eat well. In my own case not that I am recommending it I got into weed not because of the weight palava but because I was a bad boy from a good home. I immediately stared to gain weight because I was eating very well. My mom was very happy and in mind I said if this woman knows the secret of my healthy appetite she will faint. Of course she got to know I smoke weed much later. Thank God all that is in the past. But lemme tell you what my dad told me he said just have patience you will gain weight soon enough and might even start thinking how to shed it. Now am overweight. I hover between 95 and 100kg. Looking for ways to shed some of it. Once you start work and start a sedentary life style coupled with eating plenty meat sorry is your case.

You see if you want to avoid letter of administration both signatories must be able to sign independently. A or B to sign not A to sign and conditionality now attached to B signing. Like you have said after the death of your father, won’t work. The snag of both signing independently is that you are the mercy of your spouse he or she can do and undo with your funds.

It will never work. Just an avenue to siphon money. The technology is 50 years old. Assuming without conceding that it does work the cost of production will make it irrelevant. Throwing good money after bad or sunk money.

Career › Re: Which Income Level Do You Belong? by alfajohn: 9:50pm On May 17, 2020
The classification is not one shoe fit all. Assuming you earn 60m per annum and your asset base is 30m are you better than someone who earns 30m but has an asset base of 200m. What am saying in essence is that the worth of an individual is not solely measured by earnings per year.

All of you people supporting Wike I hope you have read the press release of airlines association of Nigeria that if the pilots are not released within 24 hours they will boycott Rivers state for 3 months both scheduled and charter flights. Am not a fan of anybody flouting rules but in this case Wike erred. The people flown in has been arrested who are they. Are they oil workers if yes are they exempted from the lock down. So if yes what offence has Caverton committed. Governance is not by agbero like behaviour.

Stupid fake story. U supposedly married at 24 and your wife at 20. Then you have twins, age 1.
If u have been childless for 11 years, one year is too quick to kill all your joy from father hood to embrace cheating.

I am suspecting nl now hires ppl to post captivating but FAKE stories cos the kind of stories I see these days, are playing with my intelligence.
Suspecting? Something that has been going on for long. To drive traffic.

TB in this day and age?? shocked shocked

Inflation at double digit and yet you lock you money for a measly 5-6 % ?? That means in real terms you're actually poorer than when you invested because your gain when adjusted for inflation will be in the negative.

Seriously guys, I know it's painful, but I think it's time to move on. . . cry
You are right, but move on to what. The only other alternative that I see to the risk averse may be euro bond.

Education › Re: IPPIS: ASUU Asks FG Why Staff Of CBN, NDIC, FIRS Are Not On The Payment System by alfajohn: 3:03pm On Dec 02, 2019
Those agencies are self funding. They fund all their expenses from income generated from their operations. But In case of the universities the salaries of lecturers is being paid from the federal purse. Hence the insistence of FGN that if we pay you IPPIS is a must for you. The lecturers are saying the universities act grant them autonomy but seriously can you be autonomous without been financially independent. I doubt.

A tale of two prices.
My calculation gives 22k for a car I registered last month.
I paid a total of 50k
The standard is between 40k to 60k. Depending on the vehicle and your negotiating power. Registered an SUV for 45k two weeks ago. It is like when police say bail is free but very unlikely that you will leave the station without parting with a good sum of money.

You lie. They don't have any mental issue. Don't even try to quote me with more lies because my neighbour's son is there. They are very normal, but maybe a bit stubborn or something (so their parents think). Please, don't lie to people.
Brother leave that talk is either you are an unrepentant drug addict or having mental illness before a parent will agree for his child to be chained like an animal. Assuming without conceding that your neighbour was foolish were all the other parents also foolish

All these people are in these centers because they have mental health issues. I hope FG has made arrangements for proper care and they don’t just dump them on the streets after rescue.
You just hit the nail on the head. If there were proper rehabilitation centres you won’t find people in such places in the first instance.
