My landlord had a similar experience early last year. He planted special species of plantain and cassava on his 6 hectares of land and behold the fulani herdsmen invaded the farm with their cow and destroyed everything. He narrowly escape with his life the day he visited his farm.
This incident happened in the same Ogun state

I won't bore you guys with unnecessary details, let me go straight to the point.
So, I arrived in my hometown on the 1st of March, and I decided to hang out with a friend that same day; at some point, I noticed that the cash I had with me might not be enough to settle our bills, so I decided to transfer some money from my Stanbic IBTC account to my GTB account (I have an ATM card for just the GTB account) for payments with POS. I made a transfer attempt twice and got a debit alert from Stanbic IBTC twice, but my GTB was credited just once. So since there is no Stanbic in my hometown, I had to wait till I got to the city to complain. Getting to the bank, the officer asked me to fill out a form, which I did, he promised that my money would be refunded within three working days. So I was so surprised when I got a message from the same bank telling me to apply for a second-level review, report to CBN, or even contact an alternative dispute resolution avenue. House, please kindly advise on how to retrieve my money back.

Please Op please how did you resolved the issue. Am in the same predicament now with Stanbic IBTC. Tomorrow will make it 2 weeks of unresolved challenge. Your response will be helpful

Please OP how did you resolve the issue with Stanbic IBTC because I am in the same situation. From all mails, calls ans even went to one of the branches what they told me was the same as yours

Like I said here sometimes ago... Dis people won't stop fighting....someone's father or mother has been killed in dis war... In 7 or 8 yrs time the children of the killed will pick up weapons and start killing each other again......

That is very true. From young age children are indoctrinated with hate not love, bitterness not forgiveness , war not peace, destruction not build, extremely extremism,...unending war

We told them late November through December 2024, that naira was appreciating because of high volume of diasporal remission and people coming from overseas. But they were saying Chicago trained accountant and goons at can and finance minister are in charge.

VAT. The North should not panic.

For example, take the daily business of our of animals.

Stop selling them cows, chickens or goats to any southern state for meat. Cut them from your states and package them and charge VAT

In Lagos alone, about 3000 cows are eaten daily, 100 percent of which come from the north.

A mature cow's meat weighs 250 kg, and each 1 kg is sold for ₦7500 (₦525 VAT).

If you multiply ₦525 of beef per cow (250kg) that is ₦131,250 VAT per cow.

If you multiply the amount of what is used in Lagos that will generate ₦393,750,000 daily.

The total VAT received every day in Lagos alone (₦393,750,000) number of days in a year (365) will give us 'one hundred and forty-three billion, seven hundred and eighteen million, seven hundred and fifty thousand' (₦143,718,750,000 ).

This is only meat and only in Lagos other things like rice, vegetables and even onions are not mentioned.

The north is better than it seems. If we choose not to be lazy that is up to us, but we can do better.

You have more rivers with dams that generate electricity, what is the cost of 1Kw electricity and the VAT? We never talk of solid minerals, foods if well packaged and value added to it.
Common everyone will win if we shrug off laziness, corruption, and encourage good governance and lean concept in management of public funds.

Government, particularly this administration policies indirectly led to stampede. Insecurities, inflation, low purchasing power of naira. Corruption in high places by the political exposed interests, nepotism etc

Let me give you a scenario, my company as part of her corporate social responsibilities towards the community do organise annual health outreach on eye, diabetes, blood pressure, etc decided to spice this year CSR by making provisions for 10kg bag of rice, noodles etc for the elderly and widows. You can't believe it that as about 2am before the day, more than 1000 people were keeping vigil to be the first to enter the factory. By 7am, the whole streets around the community was hit with heavy traffic because of presence of people in their thousands.

The company couldn't do anything with so many injured, loss of phones etc.

The presence of CTU officers did not stop anything.

Food inflation and low purchasing power of naira with high costs of energy are catalyst for some of these sad happenings.

Bought two for 23k each the day before yesterday. This afternoon wife called that the two broiler has died

The sudden change of weather contributed to it.

Man will still eat am o

MadPolitician:
I believe that slant drilling of oil in Imo, Abia and Anambra states a re primarily responsible for these massive landslides and erosions. Maybe ab expert will know better, but these landslides are more common in these 3 states when compared to Enugu and Ebony. Lots of drilling activities happen in Imo and Abia, but you seldom seen that reflected on oil output data from those states. They possibly might be using slant drilling from one of the South South states.

Abia state like many other states that fall in the geographical enclave called Eastern Scarpland stretches from cross river, abia, imo, part of rivers and delta, anambra, Enugu, extend to parts of Kogi and Benue to some parts of Jos been 300fts above sea level, area composed of mainly sandstone that easily eroded by flooding.

Human activities has exacerbated this effect through the dredging of various rivers that cascade through this region for sand. The locals and more recently the involvement of Chinese nationals has made these issues a trend not only in Abia state.

I was so ashamed watching it..
I am yet to recover from that nonsense

I have a lower model of that car but I tell you some of the reasons, no or poor knowledgeable mechanics, complex electrical trouble shooting issues, low second hand value and cost of parts. Other reasons like not available mechanic and parts outside Lagos.

Most of the time I have to drive to Lagos to fix issues on mechanical or electrical problems

“Why won’t there be pushbacks on Tax Reform Bills, from northern leaders, when the ppl who wrote the bill are ALL from Yoruba? Minister of Finance; Yoruba, CBN Governor; Yoruba, Custom Boss; Yoruba, IRS chairman; Yoruba, Inland Revenue boss; Yoruba. All the important positions are virtually headed by Yorubas. You can’t have all these & expect other tribes to trust you”

What is your take?

This will favour the North more:
According to Kalu Aja as posted from his X handle.
Dear North and Middle Belt

Respectfully, if the new tax bill is passed,

You have the advantage of a lower labour cost

You have the advantage of solar power

You have potentially the largest source of power from a single point, and that's tbe Hydro dam in Taraba

You have the land for mechanised agriculture

You have the advantage of freshwater rivers, with fish

You have gold

You have uranium for nuclear power

You have silca for solar panels

You have cobolt for EVs

You have iron ore for steel

You have hides and skin

Why, in God's name, are you dragging consumption tax with Lagos and Rivers?

When was Kano a centre of Commerce? What about Borno?

Your leaders are looking through a straw and telling you the world is small

What was Sir Ahmadu Bellos' Vision for the North? Did it include oil? Did it include VAT?

Was the North not the most significant contributor to FX earnings to Nigeria from the Western, Eastern, and Northern Regions, from just Groundnut?

Leave Crude oil for Bayela, go and redevelop Groundnut oil

This tax will Favour the North more...

oya, lets have true federalism since the dot are inconsequential.

What is the economic sense here. 90% of electric consumers are unmetered. Capture these population before replacing those with old meters.

Keep your dollar closer friends.

Pls the OP to change the title to what you posted.

This was not upto what the former Eastern region face before and during the civil war in Nigeria.

You cannot build something from nothing.
No input, no output.
You cannot build on thin air.
Even the idealized Carnot Engine ran on Heat.

Basic principle of energy conservations, thermodynamics, rotodynamics and inertia explains everything.

Reasons why it failed

1. Igbos were not involved
2. It's not organic and spontaneous
3. ?

Kobojunkie:
So, what you are saying is that all of this precious water which could be used to irrigate farmlands for many months in that state— even go to paying for all of the damage it has so far caused—, will be allowed to leave Nigeria to benefit another country at the end of the day?

Irrespective of the dam, irrigation or even tourist interest, a country can not stop the course of natural river or water bodies. Same way, Guinea can not stop the course of R. NIGER, through Mali, Niger, Benin, and NIGERIA. Likewise, R. Benue for some tributeries from Cameron. Same thing with R. Nile that flows northward from Tanzania and Ethiopia for the White Nile and Blue Nile respectively

Kobojunkie:
... Flood water, not dams or rivers, flowing upwards towards the north, out of Nigeria? Are you certain?

Flood water flows in the direction of downward gradient of the topography. That's toward lake Chad
