That was what they also did to me. I was debited $0.62 this morning for a transaction I did last night. After helping someone purchase some stuffs on Ali express this morning, I was charged another $0.88 after a few hours.

Rankett:
No wonder. They've debited me like $1.5 now. I was like where is this debit coming from

I made 4 transactions of $5.99 each last night, they didn't debit any extra amount that last night only to wake up this morning and started getting debits of $0.62 x 4 =$2.48. When I confronted them they started claiming cross-border charges.

In whatever you do, don't ever use grey.co's virtual card, they will rip you. They charge 2% + $0.5 claiming cross-border fee for each transaction. I think they started this recently. If you are planning of getting their virtual card, I will advise you to think twice.

Great of him, I actually stay around that side in Abuja

Gbagyi gurl indeed, CapitalLens, you mean you had to create usernames to reply your post?

This is not news. sensible Nigerians knew that he would soon be detained for talking 2much.
It's a continuous process.

What do you mean by talking too much here? Have you been to Borno before? Do you know how those soldiers survive in the deep deserted desert? They make shelters with zinc sheets and live in that shelter. Do you know how hot Borno is? Borno is one of the top hottest states in Africa, yet they start in Zinc sheet shelters in the deep fields, that rarely have water sources. Do you know how a desert those deep operational grounds are? They are easy prey to BH that know the topography of that state. Can you endanger your life in such a condition and make do with N50,000? I remember meeting a soldier in Borno who complained about not seeing his family in 4 years. Do you even know how far Borno is from Abuja? If you leave Borno early in the morning you will get to Abuja in the night. Do you mean he is talking too much if he complains that his salary can not transport him to see his family?

A Nigerian soldier stationed in Maiduguri, Borno State who was recently arrested for expressing his frustration at being unable to visit his family due to the transport fare has been moved to the Military Special Investigation Bureau underground cell in Abuja, multiple sources told SaharaReporters.

According to the sources on Saturday, the soldier is currently being held and languishing in the SIB underground cell meant for Boko Haram terrorists in the nation’s capital.

The soldier had in a trending video lamented how he spent one year in the bush in Borno and was given a pass to visit his family but could not go because of his N50,000 salary.

He had said he was told at the motor park that the transport fare to his town was N35,000, meaning that the trip would cost him N70,000 to and fro.

Speaking in pidgin English, the soldier had said, "See wahala oo, the Nigerian Army gave me a pass as I spent one year in Maiduguri today, they gave me a pass to go and see my family.

"As I left the bush, I reached the park and they (transporters) told me that from here to my town is N35,000. I calculated it and going and coming back is N70,000 and N50,000 is my salary that I was paid this month.

“I don't have any option again; I'm going back to the bush.”

A few days after the viral video, multiple sources told SaharaReporters that the soldier had been locked up in the "guardroom" after the video was considered embarrassing by the army authorities.

“Our colleague who complained about the transport fare more than his salary has been locked up in the guardroom,” one of the sources had said.

However, SaharaReporters gathered on Friday night that the affected soldier had been moved to the custody of the Nigerian Army Corps of Military Police in Abuja.

According to sources, the SIB of the corps is currently detaining him in its underground cell in Abuja.

“This very soldier who complained about the current situation and the transport fare from Maiduguri to go and see his parents and relatives has been moved to an underground cell in Abuja.

“His family members don’t even have access to him again. We were told that the Chief of Army Staff asked the Theatre commander to take the soldier either Abuja or Lagos for interrogation but he was later taken to SIB underground cell in Abuja.

“If I may ask again, what was his offence, someone complained about his salary, he is a human being like every other person. We are asking every international human right activists to help this soldier.”

Another soldier added, “SIB underground cell in Abuja is same place the Army authorities keep Boko Haram suspects. We want international human right organizations to be involved, if not, this innocent boy will suffer a lot.

“Our salaries are not longer a secret, private soldiers like him receive N50,000 as monthly payment, even the present Chief of Defence Staff said it before the Senate and House of Reps, so I don't see the reason taking this soldier to SIB underground Abuja for interrogation.

“We are just serving the nation but most of us are not happy with the bad system on ground right now. If you check the military, most of these complains are about the Army, not the Navy or Air force.

“Our Army generals don’t want the truth, meanwhile, the real truth is out."

adamusuleiman1:
Their problem. Na there wicked traders plenty.

But it's northerners that sell those veggies in the SE. Are you saying your brothers are wicked?

ElSudani:
Knee jerk indeed. When Buhari was slow he was labeled "Baba go slow.
Tinubu is now taking prompt and needed actions but he is too fast for them.
Ask them for their own ideas about moving the country forward, nothing, zero, zilch.

Of what use are prompt and needed actions that produce zero to negative results?

LegendHero:
At least the ritualist is doing it for money.

But what could make a man cook his son and eat him raw? What could be the motivation? Biafra level induced hunger or what?

Maybe the same motivation of mining your child's skull hoping to get money out of it, to buy amala dudu. As in who prefers amala dudu to his child's skull and existence? It can only happen in Ronu's starvation-infested regions.

RodgersAkpafu:
Very dumb fellows

Better dumb than being a skull miner.

LegendHero:
Hunger is still good. At least we haven’t started eating our kids like people in Abia.

Yeah, but you have started mining the skulls of your kids and brethren to seek ritual money to escape the biting hunger and starvation dealing a death blow on your brethren.

Rubbish... Your brethren are starving, you are here creating rubbish thread hailing the government that force your brethren into acute starvation.

LegendHero:
Igboho Oosha, baba Dammy.

This life no just balance. Igboho Dey enjoy life while Kanu dey eat watery beans for cell.

At least him dey see watery beans, while your ronu brethren dey languish is hunger and starvation.

EreluRoz:
No, I want to have sex

Who wants to have sex with a batslave?

seunmsg:
Government of Biafra maybe. Definitely not government of the federal republic of Nigeria.

I now know you're some dimwitted bigot.

Xxxylxxxx:
Sir! Don't underestimate what our politicians are capable of, especially old looters like Atiku. Do you know that there are numerous leakages and no new government can block it all? A person like Obi can try because he won't negotiate his way to Aso villa.
1.Atiku is still rich and can pay any amount asks of him to be the next president. About the campaign funds been delayed before it was released. Politicians are smarter than we ordinary Nigerians. In the begining of the campaign, PDP were not well organized and you don't expect him to release money in such uncertainty venture. Despite that, Atiku nearly won the Election.

2. All thanks to Obi who gave Tinubu some votes. If the election was between Tinubu and Atiku, Tinubu will loss.

In conclusion, Atiku is still rich in dollars.

..

Stop saying stuffs you don't know.

1. Was the last election properly funded even when Okowa had to borrow billions in Delta state name to fund Atiku's campaign?

2. What do you mean by all thanks to Obi who gave Tinubu some votes? How did Peter Obi give Tinubu some votes? Is Peter Obi not a Nigerian, why do you feel he shouldn't contest because renowned looters are contesting? SE wasn't gon vote PDP any way, with or no Obi on the ballot. You can't continue slaving for a party that doesn't care about you.

Xxxylxxxx:
Your funny bro. Please don't say that again that Atiku is broke. He can't never go broke so long all the avenue to milk the nation is still open. And of course, no government can block all the leakages. Atiku is still rich and nobody in PDD has the financial muscle he has. Nothing like given enough chance, so long you can pay, you will always have your way.

So he's a rich man and couldn't finance his campaigns during last election? Milking Delta State its funds and even making Ifeanyi Okowa to borrow to finance their campaigns? He's rich, huh? Yet he couldn't finance election in the state leaving the financing to the PDP governors, to the extend that they had to cry out of being starved of campaign funds. Most of you just assume, without beaming a torchlight to see things at it is. Yeah, Atiku may be rich but not like before, he had used his business capital to bribed delegates in the past elections in pounds, affecting his businesses badly. His business is now bleeding. Do you know why Reno Omokri left him? Do you know why Daniel Bwala left him? It all boils down to the fact that he's no longer financially buoyant to fund them.

Xxxylxxxx:
You own a party when you have more money to throw around than others.

Today's Atiku is broke, doesn't have enough money to throw around. Besides PDP has given him enough chance and he failed in all. No be him papa get PDP.

Xxxylxxxx:
Atiku will never accept to be VP.

Does Atiku own PDP? Why must it be atiku?

DenreleDave:
The East is enjoying..

Na only west hardship dey


Where are those gangs

Hardship caused by your ronu clueless grandpapa.

Laughable... Is stinking lagos transformed?

favor914:
As usual, it must be Tinubu’s fault.

No na your fault.

Trial and error continues

Chucks13:
You just started your cry, 8 years more to go, no go find job to do to pay your bills dey here dey fume for mouth.

Who is crying? Do you think I'm affected? Keep wishing and weeping in your closet.

yarimo:
Celebrations everywhere in Ondo state as president TINUBU arrived

Celebration on empty stomach? Celebration on 1 pure water at the rate of N50 in Ondo?

Biodun556:
Obidients must bow

Tinubu best man for the job

Be deceiving yourself. The stats are there for even the blind to see.

LordReed:
LoLz. Lemme tell me you why you can't tell me what that manifestation would look like. One, the god isn't real so you cannot go ask and receive a response. Two, you will use anything to confirm your believe. If tomorrow I came and told you a bird pooped on my head, you'd claim it was the manifestation you were talking about. Even if I told you I sneezed you'll claim it is your god.

Do you think I've time to ask God what the manifestation will be for someone who doesn't seem to care? It's God who loves you and gave His Son to die for you and not me. I have better things to do with my time other than ask Him what manifestation you should expect. When I'm not looking to share the glory of God with HIM. Do you by any means think I'm trying to please you? It's your life... Even God, your creator gave man free will to choose to do good or evil.

Benuejosh claims Igbos spike the price of their goods to spite tinubu, should see this. I don't know why someone would think a business person would purposely increase the price of their good whilst chasing away their customers with price just to spite someone that doesn't exist as far as their business and livelihood is concerned. Does Benuejosh even think Igbo play with their business? Sorry Oga, Igbos don't play politics with their business. An average Igbo man doesn't care who rules the country so long he is good enough. But in tinubu case, can you accept him to head you family?

LordReed:
Dude your god doesn't exist so there's not going to be any manifestation, tonight or any night. The fact that you failed once is already sufficient to point that out.

The clicher is this, if I ask you what form of manifestation is going to take place, you can't tell me.

Wait for it. I'm not Him to know the kind of manifestation to expect. I just know that there will be a manifestation, and you will be the one to come back here and confirm the sovereignty of the living God.

LordReed:
LoLz! I thought you were the god's mouthpiece. You emphatically declared he will manifest himself. Now you are changing mouth.

I only deliver His message, He manifests Himself by Himself. God, the Almighty and our Creator will surely manifest Himself because He is not dead.
