Holy gram
Those who always say what is dead is gone and can't move nor do nothing should come and explain this
Wtf man..

Or she was NOT properly certified dead.

Bonesbreaker:
yes now since this present CBN governor take over banks has been acting stupidly i remember when soludo dem dey we had a good banking system this days them collect money from your account any how imagine Fidelity bank debiting me 100k which i no just understand have been complaining yet not reply why naw nobi yahoo be dat EFCc no go do something about them all this yoruba banks na criminals all i prefer igbo banks UBA them

What you 'get' wrong is that the Fidelity bank that debited you unduely is an 'Igbo' bank.

Hahahahah.

OfoIgbo:
GTB should settle out of court. But the CEO that brought this bank to this unnecessary awful state should be sacked

He (Segun Agbaje) is no longer the MD.

You no get shi shi. Even you sef, dey find.

Ok.

Cheers.

Lollittaa:
how did you know that I do not need it? Am I you? Are you me? What's going on here?

Hahahaha!

Because your 'need' arose from my comment.
Had I not commented, no 'need' of yours would emerged as this conversation would not be had.

Cheers.

Lollittaa:
Issokay. Can I send my account details. Just wire 10% of 1 million, let's start from there. Thanks

Unfortunately you can't.
Besides not knowing you, (as the people sending him money all know him, like him & have almost all benefitted from him), you don't [need it]!

Lollittaa:
just $180k. Send me 10% of that lemme know its JUST chicken change, biko.

I never said "just"
Re-read my comment.
I even admitted that it's a lot.
Not just enough to cause a frenzy amongst 180m+
People.
The money (while large) isn't even enough to pay salaries for staff in a Nigerian bank for a month.

Lollittaa:
so much wealth in the midst of so much poverty. Some people are almost eating their children to survive, yet the 1% have so much and more to pass around themselves..
Woe betide any governor that sends Davido any money, who is yet to pay staff salaries.

For the population we have, there's not 'so much' money in Nigeria as people think.

The rich would always exist but even that is relative. 100Nm = ~$180k. A lot of money anywhere, but not enough to cause a frenzy in a country of 180m people.

Cheers.

Alex report don swindle Dr Maduka

Alex is one of the core reasons you know Dr Maduka.
He chronicled his exploits abroad, his personality & ambitions for Anambra. He is his media consultant.

You think they (media/PR) come cheap.
Go try!

pocohantas:
Her head is not okay.

Yenyenyen love.

You have money and you can’t use it to help your husband, you will now be disturbing his ears with love.

How do you claim to love someone and not help them in difficult times?

Useless love!

Hahahah!

If you're not being sacarstic here then could we assume your account has been hacked?

Or Perharps we've had you all wrong all along?

Amotolongbo:
Give him money to do what?
She can’t just be giving him money for no just reason. She can spend her money on the home, not giving it to her husband.

A man requesting for money from a woman is only trying to trade his pride as the head of the home.

The only time a man should be given money by a woman is when it is needed for a personal and mental development which will bring a fortune to the man and home

I am not in support of 'mordern' equality but Most men on earth earn more than their wives. Even wives that work attest to not spending their monies for things. Many examples abound.

Safra Catz is a US executive & the CEO of Oracle. Over the years, her earnings in stock options has seen her become a Billionaire, with her husband quitting (his job) to be a stay-at -home husband. We don't hear any negative stories from such families despite her earning 500x more than him.

Poverty is just a bane around here & I sincerely understand their plight.

Moreso, there's no such thing as 'Ambition' in Nigeria if the Money doesn't start coming in in 1- 2 years. In Nigeria, often to others your efforts can never make you ambitious, just results.

Besides what's the meaning of Emotional abuse. I hear that a lot. Is it a synonym for quarrels?

Chapii:
I am not and can never be a Fan of Tinubu, Lai or Buhari and I agree largely with the report of the Panel but the entire reportage is not balanced.

The government of the day - LASG and FG (IG of Police) did not manage the entire EndSars protest professionally. The brute force that was used to disperse the protest at Lekki toll gate was the only option left for the Government at that point in time and these are my reasons.
1. Why is nobody reporting that the government allowed the protest to last for over 2 weeks in lagos, Abuja and several other cities meaning that the govt. recognizes the right to protest.
2. Why is nobody talking about how the protest at the toll gate gave birth to many other protest sites in several parts of lagos and was making normal life unbearable for other citizens due to road blocks and all.
3. Why is nobody talking about how the protest have degenerated into a crisis situation with prison break, burning of Police stations, killing of police men, looting and destruction etc. As at 7pm of 20.10.20, over 30 police stations in Lagos was on fire and several policemen killed.
Last but not the least, the people that were at the lekki toll gate protest venue at the time of arrival of the military cannot be said to be law abiding. They were defying a government imposed curfew which is to take effect by 4pm that day.
Citizens have all right to protest but the government should also be up and doing in managing the overall security situation in the communities. My 2 cents

Your intentions are pure & nice but you are addressing issues in a cart-before-the -horse-manner.

I'm totally against Protest myself but a country mired in Injustices is sitting on a Keg of gun powder.

Why ? Because the Government handled the issue
Lightly. They claimed that SARS had been disbanded but SARS officers were still operating in South south during that same period. Lies/deceit.

Don't even get me started about the Nigerian police. You say Policemen were killed even if you don't know a name but Nigerian paramilitary (especially the Police) murder citizens unjustly every month. Did you not read about the CSP Okafor story in Anambra?

Lekki protestersdisregard (I am against not obeying constituted authority) for government rules was bound to happen. It was just a matter of time.
Lastly, you should not justify an action as if there was only one way out. The way the government dispersed the Lekki protesters WAS NOT the ONLY way to go. Suggesting it was is to admit leadership incompetence.


God help us.

misterme:
I couldn't vote. I wanted to vote Jonathan. I stood in long queues for hours for several days trying to get my PVC. I still couldn't. Many people didn't get theirs. Meanwhile small northern boys who do scrap metal business near my place were receiving calls from their friends and relatives in the North to come and collect their PVC's which the said relatives have collected from INEC. I, a grown man, could not get mine in the South. In the North, small boys were being begged to collect theirs. INEC officers went from house to house to deliver voters card to people, including relatives of actual owners of the cards in the north. Prof Jega dealt with the south. He disenfranchised us and gave Mr Buhari victory

Your personal claims are yours but they are disconnected from your conclusions.

If Jega 'dealt' with the South in 2015, why did he not 'deal' with the South only in 2011. why only in 2015?

In 2011 the same Jega presided over an election in which the Northerners voted the same way .

Guess what ? The Northern 'winner' lost! Even with their small children voting, they still lost.
Therefore your claims (that Jega caused Buhari to win) are untrue.

GEJ lost the elections due to the SW not voting for him in 2015 as they did in 2011. The rest of the country voted in almost the same pattern between the 2 years.

My point is: The North cannot win Presidential elections alone. No single tribe can in Nigeria.

Thanks.

Sure, why not.

Kingstanding:
One question to be asked, do they have Occupational health and safety officers in that Club? We don't value life in Nigeria all what we are after is profit.

OHS is not a guarantee against fatality.
However, OHS is great.

People have died in organizations where OHS exists.
My points:
1. We don't know that he doesn't have OHS.
2. OHS doesn't save where care isn't taken by clients & employees.

BKayy:
No customers, No business.

No addict, No dealer.

No room for drugs in Igboland. Spread the Gospel.

Those that want to sell can go to where it is in high demand.

Hmmm.

Sorry but where (what Land) is there room for drugs in ?

Make God help us.

triple996:
Trying to rule d destroyed Libya of today. Did anyone noticed that this Libya and biafra have alot in common

Destroyed Libya?

I know they had a civil war but that's long ago.
The country has since surpassed Nigeria in Oil Production. That's hardly a destroyed country!

whisp3r:
From experience, start up companies will promise you heaven on earth only to disappoint you.

They may have the funds initially, what happens most times is under budgeting. In the end, you'll end up being owed salary.

I have been in the exact same situation as you. I picked the later. Till date, the company still owes me more than 1.2M in salary

Sad about your experience.

But it's only a single data point to draw conclusions from.
Could have been poor leadership from the startup's management.etc. which may not be in the Op's case.

To the OP, in the Nigerian local parlance, Where una dey see these jobs!

Good luck.

In simple terms...he is hustling

And that's my point, hustling is working.
Aren't you working(hustling in your own way) too?

We all work (hustle)!

Cheers.

lexy2014:
What's d correlation with your questions and the comment I made?

My point is that people like Alex reports syndicate their media content through nairaland & other platforms to widen his reach.

'News' like his make nairaland content more broad with long articles, personality topics, Business, events, etc.Very often he tells you about people &. Businesses you may not typically know.
Than the typical celeb gossips & Instagram gbas gbos. Just that he is partisan.
That's my point.

Cheers.

lexy2014:
All this one na grammar. The dude is hustling

Everyone is 'hustling'.
Aren't you hustling?

Would you prefer he robs?

The south will get sense one day.

Wow tribalism @ death? No nah!

Not that it's a good statistic but more northern soldiers/people have died & are homeless from BH than Southerners. Also more senior military men of northern extraction. You can observe this from the news.

BH has been more terror to the north than any other part. No need for tribal tensions.

God help the family bear this loss.

koolib:
It might be your bargaining power. I bought meat of one and a half kilo yesterday and I counted about 20 pieces at the price of #1650 in Uyo.

Maybe Uyo has not signed anti-open ranching laws.

ForeThinker:
OGbeni Alex on the Beat ...

nairaland share holders

He is a media Professional.
What he is doing is content syndication.

Except for the fact that he is partisan & can be 'hired', content syndication makes platforms like nairaland 'richer', content wise, otherwise all news here would be celeb gossips, Twitter post stories & whatnot with shallow/unenduring value.

xpressionx:
Comrade have you been to hell before?

Hahahaha!

That a literary expression not Literal.

Specifically Hyperbole to create an effect.

SmartPolician:
Just like the useless list, this is FALSE.

The Igbo love to marry themselves and never outside their tribe - both male and female.

Every tribe in this world 'mostly' marry amongst themselves. That's as old as mankind.

Nothing new here.

The issue here is socio economic stratification. I.e. filtering away 'incapable' suitors through bride price. Else how do you explain how poor Igbos get married? Or perharps there aren't poor Igbos.

WibusJaga:


I de always tell people make dem no de advertise their success & happiness for Social Media. No be everybody de happy with u, especially VP.

So sad.
The man was 'low key' for a Billionaire.

I (& I guess many others) never knew him until recently.

Just sad.

dchem:
You have not married before and therefore not really in a position to speak about the specialty of marriage. Allow the married or divorced ones answer. All you are saying are either what you perceive, heard or watched, and not what you experienced.

Marriage for me is special as it gives me a sense of purpose. Also when I am down I have someone I can confide in and she listens to me. Marriage is special for those of us who are not selfish. Truly its not a compulsory affair as not everyone can stay married. Like everything in life marriage also has its challenges but that does not in anyway invalidate its specialty.

The major thing Op should be concerned about is to marry for the right reasons. Then it becomes special. My first requirement for marriage is marry him or her if she possess something no other person can give you. Sex, food, beauty can be gotten from so many a place but you see "peace, purpose, companionship etc. They are rare. Once you marry for the right reason and also understand what marriage truly is I am sure it will remain special for ever.

I have been married for 5 years now with 2 kids and truly I would marry my wife over and over again.

Even the "marriage" don't necessarily have a greater edge here (they have a slight edge but not much). Why? Because their experiences, good or bad is a single data point. In statistics, that hardly enough to make useful decisions.

Marriage is great, God instituted it but I am afraid it involves sacrifices & responsibilities to have it great. And even that's no guarantee with an uncompromising partner!

No choice is bad. Everyone can make theirs without discounting others' choices.

Hathor5:
You have described the stress that comes with having very young children and not with marriage as such.

But kids grow! In my brother's house the three kids who are all in primary school prepare their breakfast alone. Their parents teach them how to take care of themselves and there is no longer 'I want this, I don't like this'. My brother enjoys his coffee.

And when you ask him what makes him happy, he will tell you that it is his family. They are currently considering having a fourth child.

If it was that bad, they would not. They aren't mad.

Different strokes ...

Obviously some would have great experiences in life's endeavours like marriage.
Moreso, it is that which gives us much hassle that makes us the happier. Jobs, family, Business, Professions. Why? Because we would have avoided the hassle if we didn't find it beneficial/important.

It's arguable but I don't really think anyone can truly assess whether another's marriage is happy.
Marriage is not perceptible vicariously. Only the parties know best.

Marriage is great, otherwise God would not have instituted it. However any venture that involves sharing concensus, views, permissions & responsibilities with other parties (a spouse) can soon become a hassle. Since it creates friction of 'another' interfering in your 'space'.

Corinthians 7:28

But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

Joey4321:
Hello guys, So this thing has been bothering me for quite a while now and I would like to have someone else's idea on it.

In my mid 20's currently undergoing a masters program at a Russian University (Somewhere around Moscow). Online because of the pandemic. The masters is a full scholarship with a little stipend calculated by your grades.
Now the borders are open and I have the opportunity of being there physically. Its kind of mandatory right now even. The scholarship is supposed to last 2 years with a mandatory third year where you will have to work for the school as payment for your scholarship. While studying you get paid, little money though, lets say 200k in conversion to naira. While working (On your third year) you also get paid but this depends on the role you interviewed for and your skill level. The masters is in Data Science and that is also my field.

But the only problem now is I just got a really good job here in the country that pays lets say about half a million. With my current projections, I could level up a bit more and settle down in 2 years

Now this current amount is more than what I will get paid in Russia both as a student or as a worker for the next 3 years (According to my projection). However, the school will cover accommodation, so the stipends are just for feeding, coffee, movies and dates, etc.

Do you think the masters is worth me giving up such a opportunity in Nigeria for the abroad?

In a nutshell, do you think having a foreign masters certificate is worth it?

Is your school HSE university or St Petersburg state University or Moscow state University?

I guess Open doors scholarship.

With a Data science degree, you should continue.
These schools are top notch & can be a springboard to getting bjobs in UK or Europe generally. (The UK has a new Technical Visa Initiative).

The naira is deflated so weigh your chances severally— especially since you can earn in foreign currencies. And I don't mean Moscow alone.

Would like to ask you some questions about studying in Moscow if you don't mind.

Gondonu:
The disaster was obviously steering all in the eyes before it happened but because of greed for monetary gains & sheer wickedness, it was still allowed to consume souls.E no go better for all of una in government.

It Certainly wasn't 'staring' all in the eyes.

Hindsight is 20/20 So you think so.

If it was staring us as you say the tens of Engineers who were trapped would have identified - at least for their lives — isn't it?

michlins:
Wait let me get something straight, even with the civil war, terrorism and political instability, Libya is able to increase her oil production.

When you see a country that means business, you don't need to be told

No.

You probably should re-establish the extent of [real] "civil" war & Terrorism in Libya CURRENTLY.

It could be that the place is more peaceful than Nigeria. Human trafficking, notwithstanding.
