I was at the Ibadan office if the immigration to renew my passport which they called reissue few weeks back ,I was forced to part with 27k. That is not the story ,but the details is more interesting.
When you get to the Ibadan office ,you will hardly found any staff on seat ,all of them including senior and junior will be parading and roaming the streets looking for customers . Tout have been effectively integrated as immigration staff. The files and documentation​ are all handled by some business centres situated and owned by the staff inside the place just by the area where the visitors are made to seat.
As early in the morning you will find them at the adjoining street almost opposite the NYSC office drinking beer and choice bush meats with free money from mugu .
I came across a story of lady who paid directly and handled the process by herself , her file has not been found for over 6 months for capturing . Lots of people are frustrated even after collecting the money . A look at the capturing room is a sorry state . The place is fairly cold ,only one Stalin era A/C is working ,the other rusted AC is am eyesore ,and only two machines are deployed to take care of hundreds of people daily ,hence equipments breakdown is in order .
At the collection room ,a very small room like a guard post taking care of hundreds of people daily ,the AC is not working at all . Very stuffy and hot with no space , thumbprinting becomes an issue in the afternoon since the manchine will have overworked in a very hot condition ,just a manchine .Therefore you find people soaking hand in ice blocks and water melon and lots have to come back following day to do the capturing for collection .
Lots of passports are left uncollected at times due to frustration after official extortion.The senior officers hardly pay attention to the crowd. It's as if they are doing you a favour getting you passports .
The solution is that no cash should be accepted ,payment must be made by ATM cards to ensure proper verification ,and monitor shady deals ,secondly please provide the timeline from payment to interview ,capturing and collections . Thirdly give out phone numbers ,SMS, responsive Twitter accounts to call and report cases . Lastly set up a body to move around and decongest the waiting room ,if possible transfer and punish officials doing the delay and the head of the station where service delivery is bad .

At the last floor of Kam Salem Obalende Lagos is a Yoruba boy ,yellow in complexion and has been glued to the same seat underperforming as PA to the OC of the FIB , he is into all manners of dirty job from debts to anything . If you report any case of debts or fraud ,the guy will deduct 10% as police charges . He told a friend of mine that the police normally charge 50k per Mopol for any outing apart from the admin charges and other under the table bribe. That was before the coming of this IG of police . I am not sure if the reform has touched that area .
But in other formations I have not established that .

I don't see anything bad in getting companies to pay for the use of security operatives. They are into the business to make profit ,the profit is not coming into the coffee of government except the meagre tax and companies will even cheat in the declaration of tax returns .
The mistake we are making is that security is in short supply and the area has been overstressed with all sorts of requests and need. In the develop countries most of the request taken to the police are handle by Private Investigator.

When someone is declared missing ,you will commit tens of armed guards and vehicles on search mission . All this are handled by Private sectors operatives and you pay for their services.

Securing an event as well as providing security for the corporate executive is the work of Executive Protection Services and you pay heavily ,thus freeing up the regular police to attend to more national issues.
Nothing bad in paying for security​ if it goes to the Government coffer,but the police should always direct personal issues , civil matters ,and preliminary investigation on less important matters to the private investigator to ease the burden .

Nothing bad in marrying a single mother provided you have a good background checks . Secondly it can't be more than a child ,thirdly the child must not be more than 5 years. If you don't factor this condition into account ,it may result into unmanageable problem.
Single ladies are going from bad to worse everyday, lots of them are coded prostitutes, in addition their feritlity cannot be guarantee except you make her pregnant before marriage .
I will not recommend it for a young man because it takes maturity to maintain a single mother who is more experience and tested in all intrigue pertaining to relationship and marriage . If you are have a child already it may the best option so that one useless girl will not come into your life and destroy your kids ,don't ever trust any lady on account of Christianity on this.
The good side is that divorce or separation is rarely found in the dictionary of this set of women ,they will manage to go through it no matter the situation, and if of course ,she kicked herself out ,you are back with your kids and keep enjoying life as a single man with no hassles .

The attention of the Inspector General of Police becomes necessary here. I think we should help escalate the issue until it gets attention . You can't just waste a person life like that

Tell the Bishop to come and pick his nomination form in #2019. The government need to open the books of these churches and tax them as appropriate. Ask the loud mouth vibrating inside the church as Bishop what he has done to assist those worshipping in his church ,nothing . Your sermons should be tailored made towards promoting peace in the country . By the way ,where was the Bishop during Jonathan regime ? Sleeping . Tell the man to go and sit down we know those who are for God and those shouting to attract government patronage .Even one of you said that El-Rufai will die within seven days if he fails to withdraw a regulation . Rufai is kicking and bubbling and performing till date as governor. Fake Bishops

Ojiofor:
If you sentence Kanu to death or life in prison it won't stop the agitation for freedom.
Nigerians erroneously celebrated the death of Ikemba that Biafra have died with him.Biafra is an ideology in fact it has become our religion and can't be kill with intimidation and murder.

Nobody is going any ideology if it doesn't lead to unruly acts and actions that can unsettle the peace and security of the country. This is not the first time we are dealing with such extremist group in the country , agitations come in or way or the other ,it can be religion,political or environmental, we have the maitatsine group, we have the Biafra civil war and if you feel the right thing to do is no go back to the drawing board and start agitations in a violent way ,the Government is duty bound to respond . An ideology that is violent will earn you some killings and the bullets are ever ready to respond to the wish of the trigger. Let your ideology be confine to your new yam festival and perhaps history class. Nigeria will never tolerate any action of treason in whatever form and manner, enough is enough .

You can see the ripe fruit of a rotten tree called the Senate . Thanks Dino for calling the voters fool, I know the people will be more prepared to take care of opportunists like him by next election. Very Sad

I hope somebody will take this people to the classroom and lecture them .Kanu was on YouTube inspecting and taking a parade with Biafra Secret Service,he came to the open that he would not allow election to hold ,hence making a political statement, he attended and addressed rallies a negation of his bail condition. What is more worrisome is the treasonable act of coming on air to say he has created Biafra Secret service.
This is more than what the country can cope with, let him have his days with the judge ,let's see if this guy will not be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. Take it from me, nothing will happen ,and I repeat nothing will happen . No rascals can hold Nigeria to ransome.

Controversy on cut off mark: UTME not for admission purpose but for Ranking -- Professor Oloyede (JAMB Registrar

The Interview

The decision to reduce the cut-off mark to 120 for universities and 100 for polytechnics has met with criticism from many quarters. It seems it is not a popular decision.......

You see, the issue is that people who are not familiar with a matter, rather than keeping their peace, will be commenting on things that they know little about. Our examination is not an achievement test. It is not a qualifying examination; rather, it is a ranking examination. Anybody that we want to admit into the university must basically have his five credits. It is not JAMB that qualifies them. But, because we don’t have space for all of them, we decide to rank them. What we had been doing was to ensure that nobody who scored less than 200 had a chance. But, this year, we are saying that anybody who scores up to 120 has a chance. With 200, we have never filled our quota in the last 10 years. Some of those who scored over 200 do not have five credits in their O level results.

And you cannot be admitted if you don’t have five credits. Those who are talking have not even dissected the problem, yet they are making recommendations. Other agencies all over the world, like the UKEAS in the United Kingdom, also rank candidates. Some of them do not even conduct any examination. Our examination is not a qualifying examination, it is a ranking examination. What that means is that you can’t admit anybody unless he is qualified. What qualifies an individual is the O level, not the UTME. The children of those who are objecting to this decision go to the UK to study. Do they write the UTME there? They are unfair to the common man who has not stolen money to study in Ghana and the UK. It is part of a class war that the poor man must be kept under.

This is a ranking examination and this is a decision of all vice-chancellors, provosts and rectors. Commentators cannot claim to know more than these people do because they are commenting out of ignorance. If you have 10 spaces and five of your children are qualified, then you look for a way of ranking them. You can use age. It does not mean that the number six child is not qualified. But, because he came sixth, then you take the first five.

And you can decide on three male children and two female children. So, the fourth male child will not say that you are unfair because there is a parameter. So, our examination is for ranking purposes. We want to rank all qualified candidates and what makes them qualified is the O level. As I speak with you, there was no time in the last 10 years that we have filled 70 per cent of the quota. The colleges of education and polytechnics are there doing nothing. And they kept on admitting students under the table. We are saying no more under-the-table deals. Come and tell us what you are doing under the table and let us see it. But people are commenting on matters that that they are not familiar with.

But 120/400 is a far cry from a pass mark…

I have answered that question. It is not the UTME that qualifies the candidate for admission. It is a ranking examination. We are not telling you to admit this or that candidate. Let me give you an example. Someone scores 300 and another scores 140, the person with 300 has four credits and the person with 140 has five credits. What it means is that you cannot take the candidate with 300 and you cannot also admit the candidate with 140. That is what we have been doing. What we are now saying is that JAMB is a clearing house. That is why people are faking our results and for them, it is a do or die affair. This is because we have created an unnecessary hurdle. Everywhere in the world, what qualifies candidates is the O level. The same thing applies to us. But because we do not have enough space, we have set an examination for them to rank them. There is no pass or fail with the UTME. We are not saying that universities should leave somebody with 230 and take another with 140.

Let me give you another example. We have never filled 50 per cent of the quota for Physics in the last 10 years. Not that there are no individuals who want to study Physics, but because they did not meet the cut-off point. You are paying the lecturers, but the classrooms are vacant. And, if the candidate is fortunate enough to have parents who can sponsor him to Ghana, he will go to that country with his O level and come back with the same degree. He will now be boasting to his colleagues who were not fortunate enough to have a father who can pay their transport fare.

The belief has always been that our universities are oversubscribed…

I am in a position to know and I know that they are not oversubscribed. There are institutions that are oversubscribed, but they are few. Tell some institutions, maybe more than five, that have in the last 10 years, filled 70 per cent of their admission capacities. It is because there is a mismatch. You ask universities to admit 60 per cent of science students and 40 per cent of those who studied humanities. But what the school system is producing is 70 per cent Arts students and 30 per cent Science students.

How do you react to arguments that this was done to assist private universities to lower their standard and accommodate these candidates?

That is not correct. I have no reason to encourage private universities. But, having said that, for God’s sake, what is bad in encouraging private universities? You allowed them to be established, you set up regulatory agencies for them and you abandon them. I travelled to Uganda and discovered that 40 per cent of the students in private universities in Kampala are Nigerians. I went to their classrooms and took pictures with them. They did not sit for the UTME, but because their parents are comfortable, they want to oppress the children of the poor.

Do you see public universities adjusting their cut-off marks with the latest development?..

Universities are universities. They have the right, under the law, to admit whom they want to admit. All these people commenting, you will see their reaction when they start to see results. I am not afraid of controversy. I know where I am going and they are the ones who are just commenting casually. I have a goal. I want to appeal to people to be patient and reserve their comments. Let us see the results. I have been in this for 40 years. Why can’t you credit me with the fact that I had the opportunity of being the chairman of the Academic Planners of Nigeria Universities, where we plan academic matters? I had the fortune of being the chairman, Committee of Vice-Chancellors, I had the opportunity of coordinating the association in West Africa and I had the opportunity of being the president of the association in Africa. Don’t you think that I would have studied the situation?

How do you react to the fact that facilities in our institutions are overstretched?

What we have done has not increased quota. We have taken all those into consideration. Not JAMB alone, but also the NUC, NCC and the NBTE. We have fixed a quota, based on available facilities. We are not telling schools to overshoot their quota, we are saying, “Bring those people who are roaming the streets into the classrooms to fill the quota.” What correlation do facilities and that has to do? I am not the one who fixed the quota.

RichyBlacK:
You're wrong in your conclusion. You did not take into account the effect of religion, particularly Christianity in Southern Nigeria.

Christian teachings and those juju-based belief systems had their share of differences, and these differences created tension in many communities. One consequence of this was the wholesale rejection of many juju-based practices. The Christian teaching of Christ being the ultimate and final sacrifice made it un-Christian to shed any blood as sacrifice for any form of atonement. The wide and deep penetration of Christianity in Southern Nigeria considerably reduced the numbers of those who believe that sacrificing a human was necessary for salvation.



So, how was it that Mr. Whitehouse destroyed two juju houses by himself: the Oyobulo juju and the Andoni Juju House?

This account is a historical fact archived in libraries all over the world.

You can do more than that now. You better don't walk into your death , I don't use juju but I know beyond all doubt that there is juju , and you can walk around and slap a tested Ogboni man ,you will be made to float in the air until you die

Some men cannot be trusted. I feel for the woman

Want kind of language is that ? Feeling for the woman . So a whole Barrister who is her husband should just wake up and keep chasing her around with cutlass.? Mere reading the post is suggestive of a arrogant woman and troublemaker. After causing her husband to be remanded in prison what else is she looking for ? Money to take care of the children, ABI? I laugh in Biafra.
She should go and manage life the way she created it . May you never enter marriage with a wrong woman

It depends on what you mean by good religion. Giving charity and praying 5 times daily is good. Hating someone with dissenting views is bad, inciting violence against that person is worse and committing violence and killing of that individual is the worst.

For your information,no religion preaches violence, I am not a Muslim but If you see how Islam is practice in it's real form ,you will thank God for making you a Muslim. Extremist abound in all religions and white supremacist are no less worse than Isis

Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor (Mrs) Faith Oyedepo arrived Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, 24th August 2017. On his entourage were Pastor and Mrs Beecroft among others.

The Bishop will minister at the Sheikh Rashid Hall (E&F) Dubai World Trade Centre by 2pm on Friday, 25th August 2017.

Someone must ask the Bishop right there in Dubai if Christians still stand by their teaching that Islam is a not a good religion .
That is the problem the misinformed congregants in our churches are made to believe. The Bishop is in Dubai and he has seen the Wonder of God as it litters the place. Raw opulence in it's Majesty and the Bishop will still preach in a AC hall with technology at its peak .
Keep on deceiving yourself ,if they give you Ikeya Rams and you can't eat it ,send it to me by courier. #OurMumuDonDo

agbonkamen:
funny enough I have not tested Igbo man kondo. My next target

Chai!!!!! Igbo rod no be small thing o, you go sweat for bed but the guy go treat you fine .

We can't get the message you are passing across, if you believe you can handle it you don't need to come over here. Relax and get someone who can arrange your points in order, get us the pictures of all the principal actors ,names and location and leave the rest for the house to handle . Good people are here and they know how to make your views reach the right target .

This want scares me from going to UAE. Right now I am just thinking if I will be able to make a very important trip to the UAE. Just thinking how I can get over it . Not in the mood for the heat going by my previous experience.
That is the sad side of Nigeria , we have a good country and friendly climate but the vampires are not given us the goodies. Together we can save our country and get it back on track .

The common agenda is to dislodge Ajimobi and the APC from oyi State ,after that everyone will find his level . The trend is taking shape ,you can keep Ladoja out of Oyo politics, they have the masterstrokes. The only winning equation is to field Makinde as the governor, the issue of Alafin is not a big deal,this is politics, his interest will be taken care of . In the case of Akala ,it is better the man thread carefully and be in line ,so many political forces are on ground in Ogbomoso and Oke Ogun that can neutralize his political moves, in addition to heavy capital injection which he may not have answers for,.
By and Large with the PDP in one house , Ajimobi and his constituted authority will be flushed out totally . I don't like PDP as a party but once the drug is efective ,never mind the name of the pharmaceutical company

The need to monitor the social media is long overdue, No nation will sacrifice it's security,peace and togetherness on the altar of free speech .The activities of the iPOB e-rats make it more urgent .

TEYA:
SO YAHOO BOYS ARE INNOCENT TO YOU? AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL BE THINKING GOODLUCK, BUHARI AND DEM DIEZANI ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA? HMM

You get a wrong idea when you read things like this opposite down . Get someone to translate what I mean in your native language, if English is difficult to digest . I'm not praising Yahoo boys neither do you find a statement supporting then.

Any man that supports the thrash from this woman must be a intern husband. This is nonsense,posting how the kitchen looked like when you travelled. This is what you get when you put slay girls in the house. A woman with a complete brain will dare not expose this but clean the kitchen and the home immediately. Supposing after this expose if the man now refused to allow the woman to travel to anywhere again ,what would happen?
The woman is not only lousy but rude to the essence and basics of marriage .

Babalegba:
Attention seeker

Is that what you call investigation? In a situation of this nature the first point of call of so many people is the church ,this is not the first time of church taking delivery of missing person for onward transmission to the police, Secondly I have witnessed a situation where we are out to conduct an arrest , the team reported at a different police station, they made the arrest and leave for their office , not everyone is up-to-date with the administrative set up of the different police station .
With this kind of disheartening approval of the action of the police , the churches will not entertain cases of missing people ,sick people and will stay away from the police . In any case be assured that this news is enough to dissuade the citizens from sharing information with the police on crime.
But the way ,is that how investigation is conducted ,why don't they release the woman on bail and continue to dig up whatever they need to dig ?
Too bad

IN THIS CASE, IMMEDIATE RETIREMENT SHOULD FALL ON THE HEAD OF THIS BAD IFAKO DPO. HE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A BAD POLICEMAN...

LETS JOIN HANDS AND #hastag IFAKO DPO OUT OF THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE

#SACK IFAKO DPO

It's a sad case and a 360 degree backward on the police . If the DPO is not remove as a bad example, the Police will have mess up the good intentions​ of the IG. Kindly escalate on Twitter and Facebook until the news get to the Presidency #SackIfakoDPO

What do you mean by paralell government? Did you see IPOB touch anyone or enforce anything? Just because some people say they want their independence, others say they are forming a parallel government. For your information, IPOB has broken no law till date.

When you wake up ,kindly educate me on your Biafra Secret Service to the point of wearing uniform.

attackgat:
I find it funny that lawyers released a statement where they talked about the Ekwulobia incident but failed to say anything about the reprehensible heavyhanded methods the Police and Army used on protesters. They actually blamed Kanu.

What do you mean by heavy handedness? You are running a parallel government and even have the effontery to confront the army, I thank God on your behalf that so many people escaped.

The beauty in democracy is the freedom of speech ,even if the brain is down completely you are still allowed to run your mouth . The fact is that nothing like Biafra, agitations is welcome if done peacefully through the established channel. The igbo boys should retrace their steps and not be knocked out of good ideas by the chain of failure​ enveloping Nnamdi Kanu rantings on Biafra

Nearly all the online businesses are into this kind of mess, You will advertise a designer shoe at a very expensive rate only for you to deliver aba made shoe. Nigerians are very difficulty to understand,keeping quiet in the midst of oppression. Kudos for you for coming on the social media ,and I hope we will keep the heat on those fraudulent on line businesses

The lady is so matured and more experienced than you. You may have to slow down the pace with her

I know of a private investigative company whom if employed will let them sit up and ensure the standard are observed. Who will not want to protect his job ?
