Please advise...

A recently married woman wants to obtain an international passport to pursue studies abroad. Should she apply for one with her maiden name or with her new marital surname?

If new marital surname, kindly list the new documents or changes she’ll need to make to her previous documents (or NIN).

As a business owner, I encourage my staff and myself to get a “job well done” in spite of tamper tantrums the client may throw for a delay in receiving their order.

Why?

If your focus is to deliver the job quickly, 70% of the time there’ll be mistakes or the finishing may be mediocre. The client will still complain either ways and to keep that client you must then “recall that order to fix the problem”.

Do you see that you have lost both time and money in recalling and fixing the problem?

So, I rather take a longer time to deliver a perfect job. If the client like make e shout tire!

ETHICALLYrlght:
The most wealthy people anywhere do not lack anything but integrity. It is almost impossible to "make it big" as a honest individual, however, dishonesty does not amount to fraudulent practices. There are practices that are not fraudulent but cheat the system.

In developed countries, Billionaires spend quality time with investment bankers and legal practitioners to invent ways of cheating the system without breaking the law. These professionals guide them to manipulate the system within the law. For instance, the professionals could formulate a framework for reserving revenue at Tax Havens without breaking money laundering or tax laws.

A typical example is tax evasion by Billionaires. If Elon Musks needs 1 billion dollars for a personal project, all he needs to do is to sell some of his shares worth that amount. However, he will be charged 10% tax which is the tax rate for sale of shares that is entered as personal revenue/income. Instead of selling 1 billion dollars worth of shares, Elon Musk would rather use his share certificates and other documents to borrow $1 billion dollars from a bank with interest rate of 3.5% per annum. Tax is not charged for loans.

Elon Musk gets $1 billion to return $1.06 billion after two years and keeps his shares that may be sold for twice the current price next week instead of receiving $900 million after tax reduction and losing some shares that may become as twice as valuable next week.

Elon Musk has evaded tax through this strategy after the bank credits him with $1 billion but he has not done anything fraudulent. He's only exploited a lacuna in American Law. That's how it works.

You’re too wise! In my opening comment I listed these too. Fraud comes in a lot of forms

rtdCivilservant:
Topic: Can a legit hustling NIGERIA make it big without involving in fraud? The Op was trying to say it is almost impossible to make it big legitimately in Nigeria, but u quoted by saying it is not only exclusive to Nigeria, meaning u cannot make it big legitimately anywhere.

You absolutely cannot! If you like earn $300,000 before taxes per year it’ll leave same way via bills and mortgage payments unless you decide to “fraudulently keep some or make more”

rtdCivilservant:
Not true Oga. There are so many countries where bribe giving or taking is a serious crime, if u are caught, ur own don finish be that no matter how highly placed. Even Job racketeering is a serious crime in those countries, such that if employment is done on the basis of 'man know man' na serious offence whether na for privately owned or government owned establishment. They ensure that the right person gets the job and not because u know some body at high places.

Topic: Can a legit hustler make it “big”?

It’s not exclusive to Nigeria. Nobody in any Country can make big bucks through playing fair game. Fraud takes on a lot of forms:
1. Insider trading
2. Hostile takeover
3. Internet crime
4. Blackmail
5. Government-sponsored monopoly.

Look around you, you don’t make big money by playing in the “moral” box - in any society/ company/ government. You need to step out of the box

Sadineandbread:
Does it apply to all embassies?

Most likely on Polish Embassy in Nigeria

Sadineandbread:
Hello
Can a friend be my sponsor If he deposits the money in my account and write a letter saying he deposited it ?
Thanks

No! New sponsorship rules by the embassy only requires sponsorship by a family member.

Massive demonstrations rocked multiple Pakistani cities, including the country’s capital of Islamabad, on Sunday, with thousands taking to the streets to express their support for deposed Prime Minister Imran Khan. He was ousted by the country’s parliament in a successful no-confidence vote on Saturday. Khan blasted the vote as a foreign-backed regime change operation.

“Never have such crowds come out so spontaneously and in such numbers in our history, rejecting the imported govt led by crooks,” Khan said on Twitter, sharing footage of the protests.

The demonstrations were spearheaded by Khan’s PTI party, which called upon its members and supporters to take to the streets across the country. Earlier in the day, Khan reiterated his allegations against the US, blaming his ouster on Washington and branding it a “regime change” operation aimed at bringing “into power a coterie of pliable crooks all out on bail.”

The former PM also said the country was entering a new period of “freedom struggle” with the Pakistani people protecting “sovereignty and democracy” from a “foreign conspiracy of regime change.”

Previously, the politician claimed to have a recording obtained from the Pakistani ambassador in Washington proving the allegations. The US had firmly rejected such allegations, denying any involvement in the events.

Pakistan’s National Assembly passed a vote of no-confidence against Khan with 176 lawmakers out of 342 voting for the move to end his office term early. The PTI party effectively lost its parliamentary majority back in March, after seven MPs from its coalition party defected and joined the ranks of the opposition. Pakistan’s parliament is set to hold a vote to pick a new PM on Monday.

I swear. Just coming here to drop lies

90% of the Nigerian population are Billionaires on nairaland

meobizy:
I’m in London visiting. The most racist people here are your very own Nigerians. Once a Nigerian doorman sees you he’ll start trying to form getting rid of pests to satisfy white employers. As a younger person it affected me for a day but now their actions don’t phase me. I realize they live a bottom of the barrel life here with worse living conditions back home. At least I will go back to live in luxury and disregard their meager existence.

Indians? Those liverless clowns can’t look me in the face. I hear they racially abuse older black women. Here any young person will spark back at them, sending the idiot cowering.

Bottom of the barrel whites show themselves only in other locales. The ones in London are used to having blacks around. I distance myself from racist whites or try to make fun of them, however now I don’t have the time. If anyone tries nonsense, I’ll just yell “I’m from Oxley” to quiet them.

Google didn’t give me much to go by. What does this [Oxley] mean?

To our Nigeria peeps abroad, what is your personal template for handling racism at work/ school, in Church/ parties, and on the streets?!

Igbofam:
The effect is much less in EU because they are not facing sanctions so can replenish baby food or basically anything through imports from all over the world.

On the other hand Russia is facing immense sanctions so cannot readily replenish stock.

The only areas EU are feeling the crunch is when it comes to those items they used to import from Russia. Now they diversify.

Russia is doomed and even Putin knows it. Their economy is expected to shrink by a whopping 15% this year and this would totally wipe out 15yrs of their growth.

EU is facing inflation of between 5% and 8%. But Russians are are having to cope with inflation of 20%.

Even their central bank has massively hiked interest rates to 20%

This is Russias worst economic chaos since the 1990s when their economy tanked by just 7%. This time it will be 15% this 2022 and that trend will continue in 2023.

We can effectively start reciting the requiem for Russia if this continues

Even toddlers in Russia will laugh at all these assertions you’ve made sitting in Ikorodu, Lagos State.

This isn’t news. Almost died of heat along with over 200 passengers at MMA whilst waiting to be boarded.

The Uwr(University Of Wroclaw) doesnt need Legalisation before they offer u admission.

Kindly check again. Almost every Polish University that didn’t previously require Legalization before admission, now needs it.

eightyeight:

Ini13853:

Not a problem at all. Fill another form and take with you on the day of your interview

A firm advice to would-be Japa-ers

Don’t take heavy loans to travel out. Not even to your almighty US, UK or Germany. You never know what to expect in a new environment and how long your learning/ breakthrough curve will take.

The last thing you need is pressure on how to repay loan back home. Seeking illegal means to shore up funds will become very attractive to you!

Pay online works! But be ready to deal with a lot of:

“Which officer is handling for you here?”
You stammer “Ehm no one Sir. I paid online”.

That’s where your frustration starts!

davidowizkid:

So I can delete this message

Mr David, at exactly 7:34pm last night I sent you a group link. And for all those sending PMs to be added, trust me, I like to share information. And teach people.

But this is one group you don’t want to join if you’re particularly interested in Poland. Protect your positive spirits, please!

I scarcely find any Health Organization reporting daily cases anymore. Even our NSCDC has stopped. What happened?!

Did the vaccines suddenly work?
