Cumulative total in any calendar month meaning in any month of the year you should not have more than $10k in your dom account.

You think the government is ready to make every one the new BDCs that they will be entitled to $10k every month to end up with $120k in a year? No... They are planning to discourage hoarding of the dollars with this new policy.

You need to know the amount of dollars in dom accounts in banks today sitting idle. Even if what you say is the fact, it's only a matter of time before they change it to my thoughts.

Ggee:
Thank you sir. Seem you are the only that read the message.

Cumulative deposit in a month does not translate to total in your account.

How's that possible when you will be selling to them at the prevailing rate of the day and higher than the buying rate? Hel me understand pls

Difrent:
Whatever gains you make will be taken by p2p dealers when you want to convert it to naira....its just a waste of time keeping your money in USDT

And the banks will tell you they don't have enough dollar for you to cash out. So if you have $20k they will give you $5k in cash and advise you to convert to Naira the balance so you don't forfeit it to the government

When CBN came denying plans to convert all dollars to Naira, I knew this day would come. Reason why my dom account has less than $20

Pluzzyy:
WhAt they forgot to include is that , whatever foreign currency you buy and deposit as cash cannot be transferred anymore. The best You can can do is to withdraw it back as cash and deposit in another account as cash. All cash deposits cannot be transferred even if na 100 dollar

What platform or exchange are you saving on?

Parisian:
Wahala for who dey save money in Naira. My savings is in usdt so it's obviously not in my bank account meaning that Buhari and his stupid limitations don't affect me, rather it will make my earnings increase in Naira whenever the currency depreciates.

If you know you know

If not properly fermented, garri can be dangerous due to the cyanide content in the root tuber. Perhaps you should try garri ijebu which is well fermented and if you need to get that yellow color, add palm oil in the boiling water used for making the eba.

Also, eat in moderation to avoid diabetic symptoms. You can use other swallow like oats, cabbage swallow, green plantain swallow and others.

Lostchild:
Many times I keep telling people that, eating Garri does more harm to us than good but nearly everyone that hear me say this, get furious with me.

Since child-hood I have had nothing but trouble eating this yellow stuff (Garri).
I normally eat rice from january to december, when I feel the urge to eat soup and garri, just eating it twice gives me health issues.

In 2018, I became worried and I went to see some (medic) practionals and told them about the effect of garri on me, to them I was talking nonsense because they themselves cannot do without eating garri.

I was in a place full of working men when I told them that Garri is poisonous to our body, these guys almost eat me raw. I had a fierce argument with them 1 me vs 7 men because I was trying to let them know that cassava root is very poisonous and harmful to our body.

The garri was constantly making me to have
・Migraine (headache)
・Sour mouth; lips and tongue
・Stomach pain
・Fast heartbeat
・Itchness / scatching
・Body weakness, it makes me very weak. I must constantly lay down.
・Dizzyness, I will not be able to stand for long

The heavy sugar in garri started giving me diabetic symptoms.

・Weight loss (Fatigue)
・Blurr Vision
・Peeing / Urinating every 30 mins.
・Eye Pains / burning; I will not be able to look at the sun or be inside the sun because of eye pain/burning.

The first time I eat akpu in 2002, I nearly died. Akpu is extremely worse

Is anyone experience this?

I love our soup but the garri is poisonous to my body, what can one use to replace garri?

ISLAMBAD:
The Taliban has declared intention to enforce Islamic law across the world after overrunning civil authority in Afghanistan.


One of the commanders, Muhammed Afri Mustafa made the announcement in an interview with CNN.

Mustafa spoke right inside a United States base abandoned by Afghan forces after they ran out of food, leaving weapons and ammunition.

He recalled how the Taliban fought U.S. troops over the years despite more sophisticated assets and equipment.

“Many times we attacked this base when the Americans were here. We did operations, we were using IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices).

US govt gives conditions to recognize Taliban govt in Afghanistan


“The Americans had their helicopters, weapons and tanks on the ground. But we, Mujahideen, resisted very well.

“It is our belief that, one day, Mujahideen will have victory. Islamic law will come to not just Afghanistan, but all over the world.

“We are not in a hurry, we believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day”, Mustafa vowed.

Mawlavey Kamil, Taliban Governor, Andar District boasted that the fundamentalist group, which controlled most of Afghanistan in the late 1990s, is stronger.

“The Taliban of 2001 were new. This Taliban is experienced, disciplined. Our activities are going well, we are obeying our leaders,” he said.


There are concerns about the rights of women. As fighters took territories from government forces in July, they entered Azizi Bank in Kandahar and ordered women out.

The Jihadists led the bankers home and warned them not to return to their jobs. They, however, approved their replacement with male relatives.

Taliban: UN pledges not to abandon people of Afghanistan

“Islam has given rights to everyone equally. Women have their own rights. How much rights Islam has given to women, we will give them that much”, Kamil said.

The Taliban seized power two weeks before America’s final troop withdrawal. In 2020, former President Donald Trump pulled out thousands from Afghanistan and Iraq.


President Joe Biden put the blame of the fall of Kabul on the nationals. “It is wrong to order American troops to step up when Afghanistan’s own armed forces would not,” he said.

Since 2001, the U.S. has spent more than $2trillion on the war. Thousands of Afghans are trying to leave but only hundreds have made it out yet.

richmond500:
Good evening NLders.
So I got this job a week ago, when I first went to the company, everyone was advising me to be careful because the workers aren't nice to each others, even the manager and the security was advising me lolz.

I wasn't interested in those advice because i can easily make friends and apologieing when i have done wrong is something i could do to soften someones heart, so i know i am good and got things under control, also there is something I wished to gain from the company, the pay isn't even friendly, though I dont have problem with it, my target was set already and I know what I am going for but the antagonistic relationship between the staffs is on a whole different level, somehow I have been able to make friends with almost all the staffs and has tried my best to bring the workers closer by advicing them and told them how much I like a friendly atmosphere, I found out they are not actually bad but they are very careful due to past experiences.

The manager on the other hand is a sadist and very rude, he gets angry when two staffs are having fun, laughing or being friendly, he feels when staffs are friendly, they will end up gossiping him so he rather not see them happy. He called me recently and asked me to tell him things about the staffs, I noticed he wanted me to gossip about them and know their every moves, but that isn't what I will want to do, therefore whatever he asked him, I just tell him "I have no idea". Knowing that he couldn't use me as double agent, his hatred for me just grow to a level I couldn't even accommodate, he shouts at me for no reason, I get really upset, and noticed he is actually the person that has set this hatred between the staffs, I wanted to give him a piece of my own uncultured mouth because there are things I couldn't take but he is actually around my fathers age and I dont wish to drop my father at home and insult another persons father, i have been here for just six days and i am already tired, I am waiting for month end, after my salary, I'll just resign.

If u were in my shoes, what will u do

Carbon is a licensed Microfinance Bank in Nigeria and covered under the NDIC insurance coverage for bank accounts in Nigeria. Your money is safe with them.

I've been transacting on Carbon (Paylater) for about two years, though I never kept more than #20k on the banking App before. I just keep little fund meant for something important there. Now, I would like to keep some money there to avoid all these unnecessary charges from my bank. But I do not want a situation where logging in would become a problem when I have much savings in my wallet. I know Carbon is a reliable system but I don't want any stories that touch. You should understand my fears. If you have any related firsthand experience with Carbon, kindly give me some advice. Thanks

Thanks.

That was how one celebrity traveled to the US and back only to die within hours of return, it was attributed to witchcraft forgetting it was probably as a result of deep vein thrombosis

DECLAN2015:
African are too superstitious
Alwayz attribute natural occurrence to supernatural
That boy look unhealthy
He could have died of medical condition.

Once you attribute your problem to supernatural ,the first thing he does to you is to lock off your thinking faculty because you have deflected the problem......lack of insight .

You can make your point intelligently without expletives but I hear you. So you believe whoever is accused of the so-called poisoning took pain to prepare the concoction you mentioned? Well not there so I can argue

What I know is that the stroke-like symptoms is probable a result of his morbid stature

Jupiter7:
Autopsy ke? Autopsy does not detect food poisoning by household items because the digestive enzymes interfers with the results. Before you open your mouth to downplay the family suspicion, ask proper questions first before you open your mouth. There are a million hidden ways to poison someone, especially now that household chemicals are increasing and readily available. Do you know that a few drops of odourless bleach mixed with vim can cause exactly what this actor exhibited before he died? Yes the person would vormit excessively with stroke-like symptoms before dying. Funnily enough it starts few days later after consumption when it goes into the intestines. 90% of food poisoning cannot be detected in the lab, are you aware of that? Now I just gave you only one example of poison, there are so many but I don't want to mention here cos you don't know the intention of the person reading this comment.
I will just conclude by saying that there are two types of poison: slow poison and fast acting poison.

And to think he went for movie shooting which requires being alert at all times, he might have indulged himself in drinking RedBull or those energy drinks which many believe can keep you awake and alert not knowing it contains chemical compounds that can cause serious heart issues. Again people need to understand, not every death is poisoning or out of envy or jealousy, most times the victims were the architect of their misfortune.

UDUJ:
Bro I wish I can like this your comment twice. Nigerians are so backward that they think having pot belly is a sign of good living, not knowing they are on the highway to death.

When someone has massive pot belly the heart strains itself by working twice it's normal rate. people need to start eating healthy and engage in some form of daily physical activity in form of exercise.

Sad but not every sudden death is as a result of poisoning or fetish attack. Looking at him aged 23 years and looking 40 due to his size, loves food which probably led to his obese nature and probably the cause of his seemingly stroke before death.

A proper autopsy needs to be carried out because it looks more like an underlying illness. May his soul rest in peace. Amen

You are taxed on your fixed deposit interest. Stick to Mutual funds. The yields are rising.

charlesogbonna:
good afternoon
trust this meet you
instead of mutual FUND why not do a fixed deposit investment, with an interest rate of 8%PA
its a smart savers investment which allows you save monthly for a specific period of time
minimum investment is 10,000

Did you show them your source of income (N4M) The bulk fund of N6M might have did you in. Perhaps in addition to the gift deed, you got your uncle to also state he would foot the cost of your study and set aside the funds as a proof of funds unencumbered rather than just his net worth, the story would've been different. Net worth of your sponsor does not automatically translate to funds available for your studies.

Personal Assets & Financial Status

My first preassessment notes were vague, in fact i still don't understand it till today as attached.

I did a lot of things differently despite that in this second application:

I paid 28k out of 33k of my tuition through my mum, she gave me 7m which i immediately used to pay 20k cad (in my first application i paid only 7k)
I showed 10.3m in bank account (MBS) (my sponsor gave me 6m since last year Nov and still standing in my account, balance of 4m was my savings) (funds were still intact)
i had mutual funds of 1.4m (since first application)
I had 2.4m in pension ( got a letter from PFA 25% is immediately accessible) also since my first application
i attached gift deeds for both my uncle and the new funds my mum gave me
My uncle showed over 18m in his bank plus introduction letter showing his net worth
My mum attached a retirement letter and stated that she had funds from her 32 years of working, she also had a balance of 4m left to show she will be fine
I included study leave and evidence I got a promotion last year and commendation for stepping in an acting position as MD.
My husbands business docs, showed also 2.3m in his account, he had 2m as fixed deposit (same with first application)
I attached his land docs and added the survey in the second application
i bought shares almost 500K to establish assets (new)

I have ordered for my first and second notes, maybe I should have ordered final notes from my first application because i used preassessment notes while my application was still in progress to apply.

I am numb, I am sad, I feel like all my efforts were in vain.

I had ordered my notes last month to see what was happening and they are only due tomorrow, i guess they dished out the refusal today so i wouldnt have time to ammend.
