Good afternoon, Michlins. I tried to reach you on your profile Tel no 07032446904. But a lady who doesn't know you replied.
Do let me have another number to reach you, so we can discuss about a tank stand, gate and railings for a building project.
You can also reach me on my email at curamo@yahoo.com if you are on email.

Latakia:
Jagaban spoke and everybody went back to their senses. Unlike the Igbo that always run away from the battle when the heat is on. Jagaban stood gidigba and the north has no choice than to agreed on the pre 2014 agreement on ceding the presidency to Jagaban of the ACN bloc.

Yes, you are very correct.
But you should also commend Wike who set the ball rolling with his words and his balls by pointing out that the presidency must be zoned to the South.
That coupled with Tinubu' s Abeokuta strong statements, frightened the North.
The result is that, the North is going to make sure they produce a Southern President.
I can assure you. Inshallah.

shaqhead:

And if he had said something pleasing you wont be typing this right? The problem is not the MODs but folks like you whose emotions can easily be toyed with like a yoyo by folks like Reno. He has you wrapped around his finger...think I am lying? Let Reno post something that pleases folks like you and you all will queue behind him praising him to high heavens.

Sorry if this hurts but you and the mods do the very same thing you are complaining of-You are giving nonentities like Reno attention!

You are very correct.
I am very surprised that the same set of people on Nairaland that use to swear by his Twitter rants, even forcing the MODs to push his rants to the front page, when he used to abuse Tinubu, Buhari and Osinbajo, are the same persons who are now quarrelling with the MODs for pushing his rants to the front page, because he is now attacking, their preferred politicians.

casualobserver:
Like someone said on twitter, if this is the kind of letter head a former governor, bank chairman, business mogul, former vice presidential candidate and now presidential aspirant uses, it should tell anyone with a brain and any insight that he has nothing to offer but mediocrity!!! i am not bothered because I know he isnt going to win but I would be really afraid for Nigeria if he actually won the presidential elections.


just look at that letter head please...it is unbecoming, it looks like the letter of a small time electrician or building contractor , not a man who sayas he has attended prestigious schools like oxford havard etc!!

I don't see anything wrong with the letterhead. It is a personal letter written from his desk. It doesn't have to be sleek.
I am very sure his company letterhead will be much more attractive.

This is no news to me. APC screening committee has no option than to clear him. But not only him, they will also have no option than to clear Osinbajo and Amaechi.
If the three of them are not cleared, they will make so much trouble that APC will never exist again as a party, even before the general election of 2023.

Doctortest:
How does he know how much his book sold!
Did he assume his calculations of $140k resulted in $140k
I think this man is also kind of delusional ...
And now I realise Nairaland is full of many dumb folks who don’t read before they write . A serious case study for the kind of disfunctional youths in this country

Thanks for your good analysis.
Let him show the proof of the book sales in Canada and any other country where it was sold.
If a book made up to $140,000 profit it will be listed in the best seller category on book review websites.
He is probably a fraudulent character, whose attempt to dupe a foreigner failed. After which he decided to commit suicide.

Mystery2020:
After job hunting for a while, I saw a thread on Nairaland (some of those how to write a CV topics) where applicants with gaps in their CVs were advised to fill them up anyhow with anything they can defend. The poster authoritatively said such applicants stand no chance of getting a job.

So I took the advice because of my past experiences, some of which I have shared here

and here.

https://www.nairaland.com/7103678/toxicity-score-various-occupations-sectors

Then, I continued the journey after rewritting my CV by 'filling the gaps'.

Boom! I was called for an interview at the very first place I applied to with this doctored CV. I passed the first stage with the HR. I was quizzed thoroughly during the second stage (panel interview) with the line manager & supervisor. They kept going back and forth on those things I claimed in my CV. They had doubts, but I remained calm and relaxed.

Days later, I got a call from the HR to come for stage three with one of the directors. The caller said I should relax that it is nothing serious. I became anxious. Why would the HR say something like that and why didn't they send an email like they have always done? I asked myself.

I met some others too and was the last to be interviewed. The director decided to test me hands-on on some of the things I claimed to have done or able to do. I knew it was a setup, because they ought to have done this in previous stages. But I remained calm. I did what the director requested and I left.

The following week, they called me on phone again to come. Immediately I got there, I took the letter and quickly acknowledge receipt before they could change their minds. This was how I got the job.

If you are wise, instead of coming to gloat on Nairaland about your ability to pad CV, you will learn those skills which you padded on your CV, as it relates to your job function, so that you don't lose the job.
The first stage of a successful career development is to get a good job, the second stage is to be competent on the job and the third stage is to make progress on the job.
You have only passed the first stage, the second stage is more difficult. If found out that you don't have the competence you wrote in your CV, you will be fired and you will be back on square zero.

BlueRayDick:
Audio ban as usual.

I can bet u that Tomorrow morning people going to work will still carry bike from Surulere to CMS to beat the traffic the closure of Apongbon bridge has caused .

Same with people that ply Apapa axis

If you read the statement carefully. The ban starts on 1st June 2022.
I will advise that you wait until that day, before speculating.

Bobbyjay001:


Yes, she's battling from ulcer. We have done that already. We have a lot finding permanent cure to this ailment. My wife is also in medical line.

Recently, she took in intravenous injection which costs over #40k with drugs. She's feeling better now and isn't feeling the ulcer pain for now.
I am just a little bit relieved but I am afraid cos this isn't our first time spending so much on the deadly ailment.

If you are sure that your wife's medical condition is ulcer. Then go and buy Esomeprazole tablets for her to swallow one in the morning and one at night before sleeping.
The ulcer will disappear within 1 week to 2 weeks, I am assuring you.
This is an advice from me, who had ulcer for several years, wasted lots of money before I finally solved the problem.
Buy Esomeprazole, let her use it, and come back to Nairaland to thank me.

Khiz:
Omo!!!! Reading about 85% of the comments here and all I can say is HUMANITY HAS FAILED!!! Tufia!!!! See the same Nigerians that want change. Clowns!!!!!!!

They are not just clowns, they are stupid clowns.
I wish the OP has the resources and time to lure the man's wife into a relationship and start sleeping with her, and then post it on Nairaland.
You will see how this same clowns will change and start complaining and start minding his business, and not mind their own business.
At that time you'd be surprised that they will start saying that it is wrong for a married woman to sleep around. But according to then it is right for a married man to sleep around.

Originalsly:


Do you really believe he will get life? Don't be surprised if he is set free or given a light sentence. This is a crime of passion.... such a murderous rea tion is expected at the scene. Most likely... the jury will be men.... most of whom will be thinking they would've done the same. The wife ran away..... she can't live there again!

Don't mind all those predicting he will get life imprisonment.
As you have said, it is a crime of passion and not a premeditated crime.
Very likely he will get 7 years in jail with 5 years suspended, in which he will effectively be in jail for only 2 years.
And, that's assuming he is not a rich man, because from the news, he is likely a villager. Else if he is a rich man using a knowledgeable Lawyer to defend him, it is the dead man's body that will end up in jail.

AFONJAPIG:
you are a clown... go and browse how much partition are paid in Al Quoz dubai them come back let argue with that ur migle salary that can't put petrol in my car for 1 week

You are the clown. Do accept your mistake first that average house rent in Kigali is much higher than in Lagos and that your comparison was silly. Instead you started mentioning Dubai.
The OP was comparing rent in Kigali to Lagos, it will be in your best interest to accept that you are wrong and move forward, instead of jumping the argument.

AFONJAPIG:
and what u say 85k is too much for rent We pay 200k for small space here

If you read it well. The rent is 85,0000 naira per month, which is 1.02 Million annually, while you are quoting 200,000 per annum in Nigeria.
Be well guided

Blablamalala:


There are no right or wrong decisions. You never can tell if being in Australia would have been fulfilling.

I have this childhood friend who courtesy of being born in Canada earned him and his siblings Canadian Citizenship. He and his sister left Nigeria for Canada after secondary school. I and my brother so much envied them, wishing we could as well leave Nigeria for greener pastures. But guess what? Today we both are doing far, far better than my childhood friend. I and my brother got our Jobs after university at the inception of the hot cake Information Technology in Nigeria..MTN, ECONET, GLO.......... From one Telecommunication firm to another we are climbing the ladder upwards, with privileges of travelling many countries around the world and still traveling on official bases. All started in Nigeria.

My Canadian friend regrets ever leaving Nigeria for Canada he really has nothing to show as an achievement. May Good Luck come your way.

To add to your point. I was also in the USA for some years, but I decided to come back home.
Ask me why?. I hated the cold and couldn't live with it.
I had a Nigerian colleague who also complained about the cold, but did not have the guts to come back home.
I got message from friends recently, that he had passed on. May God bless his soul. I don't know whether the cold got to him and finished him.
There are thousands of Nigerians abroad who are living worse than the friends and colleagues they left behind. But they wouldn't let you know.

Brightest04:
Honestly the easiest people that can be deceived in the world are Nigerians. They never learn from one misfortune or the other. This is what politicians are capitalizing on.

You have a myopic view of Nigerians. They are not scammed because they are innocent, they are scammed because they are very corrupt. They know the scheme (scam) is a pyramid type. But they want to cash in and out early to make it before it crashes.
Don't ever blame Politicians for deceiving Nigerians. A lot of Politicians are scammed by Nigerians while campaigning, but the stories are kept secret. At least I know a newbee politician, who lost over 30 million naira to scammers while campaigning.

AmazingELixir:


But why is it that Nigerians never learn....is there something fundamentally wrong with people to the extent that they are unconsciously drawn toward all these ponzi schemes.

I don't know why you are surprised.
The average Nigerian is very corrupt, and believes that he can scam other Nigerian and go Scot free.
One of the victims of MMM boasted to me that he knew that it was a pyramid scheme. But he thought he will make it big before other Nigerians realise it. But alas, he failed woefully and lost 500,000 naira.

Nobi who first report case na hin dey win o.

Hilary Clinton started her presidential campaign long before Donald Trump even conceived the idea of running for president. On election day he left her with a bloody nose and two broken ribs.

Its a marathon, not a sprint

Nigerian presidential voting system is not like the rubbish outdated system in the USA.
She would have won squarely if it was in Nigeria or any other country in this world except in the US. Because she won the popular vote and got 1/3 of the vote in over 2/3 of the state's in the US.
Show or point me to any other country in this world where he would have been declared the winner. I'm waiting.

KingDamzzy:


Nigeria is not and will never be "an absolute shithole of a demonic country" as you have described.

You are probably the one that is shit. As you have said, your mental health is affected and people think you are mad.

You should fix your mentality and open your eyes to opportunities instead of coming on public forums to call your country condescending names.

I love this your reply to @tensa.
Nigerians have a very bad habit of always blaming the country for their woes.
Forgetting that the problems in Nigeria are also in most of the so called advanced countries, they like envying.
Funnily @supreme never blamed his country for his failures, which means he is ready to take his destiny in his hands, and solve his problems. I wish him luck in making life better for himself, He should keep on trying until he suceeds.
@tensa, I will advice you to watch the America award winning film, Nomanland. It is a true life film on the lives of normal well educated Americans living on the edge. It will change your perception of your own country.

Igbofam:


He is very right

The Senate President is more than right on this matter. If I am allowed the superlative.
Ekweremadu should hang his head in shame and the Judge should be derobed and procecuted by the Judges Council.

Loewe:


In fact, the organizers should be the ones facing the heat, not the event center. I bet the owner of the event center didn't know such would happen when they rented the hall...

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police has also ordered the arrest of the celebrants and organisers of the Show of Shame. See below.

FLASH: Lagos State Government through the Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad has sealed Havillah Event Centre, Oniru, for Contravening Public Safety Rules (Fuel Souvenir) … as Lagos CP orders the arrest of culprits involved.

Horlufemi:
So you saw 100k, you took it and returned the wallet.

Is that even possible.

On a norms you won't even pick her call.

Thanks for your observation as per the bolded. As someone earlier posted, this op's story of losing 100,000 naira, is the fakest post, so far on Nairaland today.

Eluala:


You should at least try to help him get out of it first. How do you love somebody and at the slightest of excuses you bolt on the person? If you really love someone, you will at least try to help them get better before concluding it is not working. Haba! This generation na waa!

I agree totally with you, that loosingfaith should have some faith by talking seriously with him and his family, about his gambling habit.
After the discussions she should give 3 months maximum to start seeing changes.
If after 3 months, there are no changes. She should pack out to her own family home, or to an elder who can shield and take care of her.
From there, she can then decide on long term decisions.

Ahumanbeing:

Lol you must be quite foolish and naive to assume no Nigerian can make 90k per year in the UK, also let me correct you, for op to earn 48k per year, his salary isn’t 90k but 80k, the tax rate is 40%. Your friend quoted 90k which translates to 53% tax and this is incorrect, hence my initial question.
Dear fool, Try to think and get a full picture before quoting me!

It's you who must be very foolish, because there was no where in my post, where I said no Nigeria can earn 90,000 pounds per year.
In fact my sibling who owns a Dental clinic earns over 150,000 pounds annually before tax in the UK.
If you go back to your original post and stop being clever by haif. You were busy multiplying 4,000 x 12, as his salary, whereas for him to earn that amount tax free, his real salary will be over 80,000 pounds, which is closer to the 90,000 pounds suggested by the person, you attacked.
90,000 is closer to 80,000 compared to 48,000 pounds, or can't you do the mathematics.

frenchman:
This is a big fat lie, salaries in UK are quoted before tax

Thanks again Frenchman, all normal jobs in the UK are quoted before tax.
The OP should stop lying.

wg01:
2 things i will say, No UK company will offer you tax-free salary. Not even when you are in Naija. I have been on top of the Game for 15yr and I get over 30K GBP a month but I still have to pay taxes. You will live a decent life with 4k but you can live a better life with 1.5M Naira because you will build a network and have other opportunities you cannot get in the west. All you will get in the UK is Money and in the next few years the money will not be a problem or your employer gets someone cheaper than you from naija the same way they found you.

Thanks for the bolded. No UK company will offer you a tax free salary. So the story has a k leg already.

Ahumanbeing:

4000 * 12 = 48,000, how did you see 90,000

Read and think before you reply.
Before you can get a job paying 48,000 after tax in the UK. Your gross salary will be about 90,000 pounds per annum. Since in the UK you must pay tax, there is no normal job that's tax free.
So Papillo is correct, while you are sounding rather dumb.

The Canadian Truckers Antivicine Protests, which was funded with American Right-wing money, has come to an end, as Police used force to disperse them from the center of Ottawa, the Canadian capital.
They were camped for 3 weeks, disrupting business and social activities.

Ottawan police use pepper spray and stun grenades to clear trucker protest
Police chief says ‘occupation is over’ as he vows to clear out those still demonstrating against Covid mandates and Trudeau government

Canadian police deployed pepper spray and stun grenades on Saturday in a continuing effort to break up a blockade of trucks and demonstrators that has occupied downtown Ottawa for more than three weeks in a protest against pandemic protocols.

Alberta RCMP had to make some arrests in alleged plot to kill police officers and civilians.
There was also ‘strong ties’ between some occupiers and far-right extremists, minister says

Reports indicated that authorities escalated crowd control efforts. Police with rifles reportedly approached protesters and smashed truck windows.

Police dispersed part of the blockade and made more than 100 arrests on Friday. They made more arrests on Saturday morning to clear the main area of the blockade, in front of the prime minister’s office and parliament.

The interim Ottawa police chief, Steve Bell, told reporters there had been 170 arrests in two days. By the afternoon, police had dispersed the main portion of the blockade.

This should serve as a notice to those planning protests in Nigeria and the Government that protests where people's means of livelihood are affected, should be shutdown within 1 week.
The EndSars protests should have been shutdown within days, the moment the Lagos Expressway and Lekki Tollgate were occupied. In Canada Truckers who occupied the bridge between the USA and Canada were forcefully removed after only 5 days of occupancy.
In a Democracy, your protest should not disturb my business or movement.
Please discuss in a civil manner.

In 2011 when North insisted on completing their term based on zoning, Igbos were at the forefront of "There is no zoning in Nigeria's constitution".
Rest abeg.

I can't believe I am on Nairaland, for the first time in a very long time. I am reading arguments for and against a tribal political discussion, without contributor's abusing and playing blatant tribalism.
I hope other political discussions on Nairaland, would be this intellectual and rancour free.

kponkedenge:
Lai Mohammed should shut up. The protesters have been left alone to protest for days, if not weeks,

Stop telling lies, they have only been protesting for days. And in the process still crippled the American Motor Manufacturing industry.
The Nigerian Govt did great by forcing the EndSars protesters off the streets, before they could tank the Nigerian economy.

The family that froze to death a world away from home.

The night Vaishaliben Patel, her husband Jagdish and their two children set out for the US-Canadian border they dressed in new heavy winter coats and snow boots. Temperatures where they walked, in Emerson, Manitoba, had dropped more than 35 degrees below freezing.

As they walked - maybe for a couple of hours, maybe for more - sharp winds carried snow and shards of ice across the plains, reducing visibility to nothing.

Canadian police found the four of them - Vaishaliben, 37, Jagdish, 39, their daughter, Vihangi, 11 and son, Dharmik, 3 - lying together, frozen, in an empty field on 19 January. They had died 12 metres from the US border.

The mysterious case of a young family that made its way from an unassuming village in Gujarat, India, to the bitter reaches of Manitoba, half a world away, has shocked Canadians and Indians alike, exposing the intense pressures and economic anxieties that may have led to tragedy.

Officials have said they believe the family's deaths to be a case of human smuggling, and authorities in the US and Canada are still trying to determine how the Patels reached Emerson and who may have led them there, ultimately to their deaths.
The Patels were found near Emerson, Manitoba, thousands of miles away from home in Dingucha. Some 12,000km away from Emerson, the town is home to about 3,500 residents, mostly middle-class agricultural workers and labourers in the province of Gujarat.

There, the Patels lived in a neat two-storey home with a rooftop balcony and a large welcome sign painted over the door. Their home sits snug among a line of row houses - concrete buildings painted yellow, pink and white.

Some residents apparently knew of the Patels' plans to travel, telling the BBC's Gujarati service that they went to Canada on visitor's visas.

On or about 12 January, the Patel's arrived in Canada on a flight to Toronto before traveling 2,000km (1,200 miles) west to Manitoba.

Police have not determined how they got to Emerson - by land or sky - though there is no record of them boarding a domestic flight.
The drive would have been long - 22 hours on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The town has one pharmacy, one grocery store, one school. The houses are modest single-storey homes with single-car garages and large yards. Residents call it a retirement town - a pleasant place to live, with not much to do.

The cold feels "like a dog biting your hand and not letting go", said George Andrawess, who runs Emerson's lone pharmacy, five minute's walk from the border.
"Your tears will freeze in your eyes," he said.

Both Jagdish and Vaishaliben were educated, local media said, at one point working as teachers. Like many other Gujaratis, the Patels had a second home nearby, in the nearest middle-class town, Kalol.
Their parents were often nearby, also dividing their time between Kalol and Dingucha.

Yet despite the appearances of a well-anchored life in India, something compelled the Patels to leave.

In Dingucha, this is common, residents told the BBC.

"Every child here grows with the dream of moving to a foreign country," a Dingucha councilman said.

Many locals spoke of an intense and pervasive social pressure to move abroad, with social status determined by connections in foreign countries. Those who stay are seen as incapable of raising the funds to leave, everyone else moves on, some said.

In Winnipeg, Indo-Canadians said they knew well the "craze" for moving abroad among middle and upper-middle class Indians.

"People think there are dollar trees here," said Mitesh Trivedi, a Gujarati-Canadian. "I had that in my mind when I came, I was 26 years old."

Mr Trivedi, now 59, settled in Canada three decades ago on a marriage visa and became a citizen in 2000. In many ways, his is the life that Indian economic migrants aspire to abroad: He owns a profitable restaurant, has raised a family, and his two daughters both hold graduate degrees in the medical field.

Though he was highly educated in India - Mr Trivedi is an engineer by training - upward mobility would have been limited there. "I was born lower-middle class. If I had stayed, I would have died lower-middle class," he said.

According to Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board, the country is experiencing an influx of irregular migration.

Most of these crossings are northbound - with migrants trying to cross into Canada from the US.

Last year, about 4,000 people were found trying to enter Canada this way, compared to 900 crossing into the US.

Emerson itself, with its wide stretch of unguarded border, is considered a hotspot for illegal crossings. US Border Patrol recently named this area as a high incident spot for human smuggling.

In 2017, two migrants from Ghana were badly injured by frostbite, each losing several fingers, when they tried to make the trek into Canada from the US. At the time, Emerson locals told the BBC they were afraid someone would die trying to make it across.

Police on both sides of the border have said that the Patels' case is probably linked to human smuggling.

But for the Patels, the central questions are left unanswered: what was waiting for them across the plains, was it worth the risk, or did they even know the risk they were taking?.

They didn't even make it to the border. In their final moments, they may not have known where they were at all.

"This story reminds me of Nigerians who are desperate to go abroad at all cost".
