Do you believe that Konga now knows nothing again about consolidation of multiple items before delivery as they now charge full and separate delivery fees on each of the multiple items you buy on their site?

Imagine I recently wanted to buy 3 separate items from Konga on a single purchase; one is phone battery for N3,800 the other is a pair of jean trouser for N3,500 and the third is USB data cable for N700 and when I was about to check out, I noticed that Konga has added N1,000 each on the items as delivery fee, totalling N3,000 for the delivery charges and that was how I quickly terminated the order.

It seems Konga are failing to realise that they have competitors.

We are enduring the fact that they have recently hiked delivery fees on their items and then come again to notice this recent development.

It's now hightime person began to boycott shopping from Konga if they continue this way.

They even failed to realise that at times people shop for multiple items just because of leverage on delivery fees, but they have now defeated that aim by charging full seperate fees to deliver multiple items made on single purchase.

Would you have gone ahead with the purchase if you were in my shoes?

If you're interested in buying just gadgets and accessories, just head for Yes Mobile (www.yesmobile.ng) straight up. They offer free delivery within Lagos and have the best prices.

I have been using a particular bank for years now (name withheld so you don't think I have come here to spoil one bank to glorify the other), and I have never experienced the kind of blind ripping off that I have seen in the few months since I opened an account with Skye bank. I'll state some of them here and I'll like to know if anyone has had the same experience.

1) While filling the registration form, I only selected email alerts. I did not tick sms alert (for a reason i will explain next), yet they started sending me sms alerts.

2) I was then made to understand that 4 naira will be deducted 'for every alert' i receive. I was like kilode. 4 naira seems small but it's not if you'll be handling several transactions and getting so many alerts (wanted and unwanted). Moreso, if let's say someone sent me 10 000 naira, by the time they deduct 4 naira, it means i can no longer get the money wholly. Even if it's 1 naira that makes it 9999 naira, meaning i have to pay in some money before i can withdraw 10k.

3) So i wanted to opt out of the sms alert only for them to tell me I can't because a new policy says that all bank a/c owners must be on sms alert. I'd like to know how true this is.

4) Well, I decided not to allow any dime into the Skye bank a/c again. This morning I tried transferring 2k out of 3k plus left there using the mobile app, and i was told insufficient balance. I later discovered that the operating balance was 2k, meaning i can only withdraw 1k. I know most banks use 1k so i wonder why theirs is different.

I am putting forward these complaints just to know if there are others who have had the same experience.

You know you have a bad luck:

After boarding a bus, it gets to your turn to pay your fare and you can't find your money.

If you are downloading 5GB of data and it Fails at 99%!

If you buy a bold 6 for N90,000 today and the next day the price drops to N20'000.

If you win N100millon, put it in the bank and next week, the bank declares bankruptcy!

In your first day in a restaurant, after eating the fish, the bone get stuck in your throat.

If after working for 30 days, you get fired without salary.

If after selling your father's property to go abroad, and you still get deported few weeks later.

If after six abortions and the guy still ends up not marrying you.

If you submit "expo" (paper chips) with your answer sheet.

When your friend just comes back from America, gives you a cheque and did not remember to sign before going back.

When at age 38 , you still refer to Wizkid as your role model.

After you photo-shop your picture and you're still as ugly as Taye Taiwo

If you get expelled 24 hours to your graduation.

If you break-up with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend and he/she wins 100million naira the next day!

If the person that you were cursing out in traffic turns out to be the one interviewing you for a job.

If you lied to armed robbers that you don't have a phone with you, then it rings, and your ringtone is 'gobe'!

If you sell your Kidney to buy a Range rover sport and they steal it the next day.

If after reading this post, you did not laugh or drop a comment

You can add other examples of bad luck in the comment box below.

Ntel is still joking. Dragging market share with Giants like MTN, Glo, Airtel and Etisalat is not something they're ready for. It seems they still retained the old brains in their system. Even their website is poor.

Where was she last seen. No location stated.

That was how they said Dbanj was bankrupt and was about to be chased out for rent. It's pitiable that readers on public forums don't even bother to determine the authenticity of a story before digesting hook, line and sinker. Generation of smart phones and dumb people. Who even cares anyway if he did buy the house or not. Shioor.

World-renowned 'Lion Whisperer' Kevin Richardson, is probably one of the world's most fearless men. He lives, eats and plays with lions...in his wildlife sanctuary in Pretoria, South Africa, one of the few people in the world that have the privilege.

Shame on the idiots that made this guy Ooni. So they didn't do investigations? What a shame on a traditional institution held in such high esteem.

The rant is uncalled for as no conclusion has been made yet. What if the so-called petition is invalid? Then you'd have to swallow your words. This is a generation of media junks where people rely on second-hand information. Take it easy.

The was a company that produces stainless wares like cups, plates and spoons, and the name of the company was 666. I don't know if they made that steel that is used to make the blender of yours. And it might be coincidence that the company that assembly the parts is called pyramid.

It was 555 stainless not 666

Just complete the following words before checking for the answers below.

What do these three woman have in common? They are grandmother, mother, and daughter, who all got married on the same day of the year. What's remarkable, is that all three women wore the same dress. Looks like these marriages have lasted as long as the dress, and they are looking to the next generation to follow in their footsteps. Let's hope she has a girl. This family proves the value in commitment and the dress has stood the test of time, looking fashionable throughout the years.

Just watched it. Miss me with the bullshit, this is fake joor! The woman recording it didn't even scream or jerk back as normal human reaction at first.

If you believe this, you would probably believe the movie Antman abi . Na animation be this biko, if you didn't have any idea of photoshop, won't you believe every pic you see? Only a matter of time before people go sabi do this animation, we would call it Video shopping!!

The way we react to shock differs. When you're seeing something really strange but you're not sure, you'll want to clear your doubts. She initially felt it was something else (like a rodent) until she moved closer & looked underneath but then saw nothing. Obviously she had to watch the recorded video later on in slow motion to really see the stuff.

What do you guys think of this? Mods kindly move this to the right section.

Using a cell phone, Silvia filmed her little boy, Benjamin, who was playing on the hallway floor. A little tiny creature just ran from the doorway under the counter. When she slowed down the video, she clearly saw a tiny figure running. It left behind a horrible smell and trail of discharge. It seemed the creature was running from the kitchen to the door, to get out to the garden. Benjamin continued talking to these creatures, who didn't seem aggressive. Now 5 years old, his parents have released this video.

We're not sure what to believe, but maybe it's a weird lighting incident? Watch the crazy Youtube video here:

This is why there is no hope for our economy, with the obvious inferiority complex I am seeing in the second picture, I weep for my country.

That's not the look of inferiority but skepticism. It's the look you make when you're beign very critical of someone.

Forget words, people lie to our faces every day. If you really want to know how a woman feels about you, keep your eyes on her body.

Going against their feelings: Even if it feels terrible, to the point where they feel like their heart is being torn out of them, women leave men they actually love. It happens because of multiple issues, some situations being more complex than others. Here are some of the most common reasons for women to leave their loved ones.

1) Unavailability: Not being present is probably the most common reason for women to leave. Some men put work, golf, games, TV or fishing before their significant others and that's where the problems start. The worst part about this is that they are not bad men... they just don't realize that they're taking their wife for granted.

2) Not Earning Her: A wife shouldn't be considered property. Men are supposed to work hard to earn the love from women and even harder to keep it. Women want to be able to talk about their dreams and concerns with somebody that will actually listen and care.

3) Passion Missing: Women are attracted to passion. Not only the sexual type of passion but more importantly, the passion for being alive. You need to make sure that you possess it since it is your most attractive asset.

4) Listen before you talk: Another common mistake is to end up having one-sided conversations. What do you feel when you listen to her? Does your mind wander? Try to connect with her through her eyes, keeping eye contact and making her feel that you are really there and deeply interested in her.

5) Not connecting your feelings: Try to be more aware of what you feel when you touch her. Pay attention to those subtle feelings and emotions. Be communicative and mention everything you notice, moment after moment.

6) Little time spent together: You might think you don't have any time for this. But you know what? You do. It only takes 5 minutes of your day to keep that spark. In the end, it isn't about the amount of time and money you spend together. It is the quality of this time that really counts. Make it happen and try to be completely present with that woman you love. Be open and see and listen without judgement.

This story proves that the bond of love between a mother and her child is exceedingly powerful.

Words cannot really express the quality of the connection between a mother and her child. In Hong Kong, a woman died almost instantly after delivering a baby boy leaving the doctors in a dilemma about the cause of death. However, a mysterious resurrection happened after the crying baby started touching her face and screaming in her ears.

Honestly, i see nothing peaceful about the so called Shiite muslims based on what I've seen so far. I could be wrong though. Why would a peaceful group create a lockdown or road block. We can't tolerate such religious oppression. An attempted attack on the COAS is insignia to a possible attack on even the president himself. Allowing such religious excesses is what creates the breathing ground for terrorism. Extremism should be crushed not tolerated.

We mostly digest what we see on the internet hook, line and sinker.

Wars don't determine who's right but who's left in the end.

Holy Bible (NKJV) 1.3 - Ecc 3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

sukkot:
a soldier in the human army is in a delusion. can two walk together except they be agreed ? what business has light with darkness ?

so can a soldier make heaven ? no. his being in the army is punishment by God. God takes you to places where you will suffer well well as punishment for sins and the army is one of those places because your eye go see pepper if you are an infantry man lol

so your being in the army and killing people means you are wicked and God is using your wickedness for his own benefit. all those who you killed had to get killed anyway but God used you to do it

...and for those about to say Fashola never did that blah blah blah, please we all know he tried to defend himself with a flimsy response about children this and that, mtcheew.

Read it yourselves, I believe it was posted here as well


[b]Setting the Records Straight
A Statement by his Excellency, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN the immediate past Governor of Lagos State

“When you wrestle with a pig, the pig gets happy and you get dirty.”

This statement of profound wisdom informed my silence in the wake of manipulated and unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdoing recently being levelled against me. They started a few weeks to the end of my tenure, and have continued till date.

They range from allegations of extra marital paternity of children, to mundane and phantom conspiracy in the National Assembly, a debt profile for Lagos State and lately a website upgrade contract of N78million, which is being distorted.

In so far as the allegations of paternity are concerned, they are wicked and false. I have no biological children other than my two children.

Of course, I adopted three children who became orphaned as a result of the tragic DANA Airplane crash of 2012 and the adoption followed due process. Those who do not care whether they hurt innocent children or invade the privacy of other citizens in their mindless rage against me will have their rewards served upon them in the fullness of time.

As far as my alleged involvement in the National Assembly elections are concerned, they remain only the products of the imagination of those who made the allegations. I was out of the country at the material time and returned only in the early hours of that morning to Abuja, and from there proceeded to Lagos.

As far as debts of Lagos State are concerned, the fact is that Lagos had always had depts. her population is growing and for a long time she has run deficit budgets to cater to the needs of that growing population.

All the debts contracted in my time were approved by the Parliament in the annual budgets, some have been paid back and the financial status was healthy and stable when I left. The outlook for the state and her rating by Fitch was long-term foreign and local currency IDRs at ‘BB-‘, short-term IDR at ‘B’ and national long-term rating at ‘AA+(nag)’.

When we all pause and reflect and think, we will realise that there are a sizeable number of companies who are running business, who have no responsibility for Security, Public Health, Public Education and other responsibilities of Government, who borrow more than Lagos State Government, whether collectively or individually.

As far as the website contract is concerned, yes there was a contract, It went through procurement and was approved by the Government agency authorised to do so.

One of the services was an “upgrade” quoted for N12.5 million but awarded for N12 million. There were other services that were new; like a handover countdown clock, mobile Apps for Google, for IOS and iPad, forMicrosoft and for Research in Motion (Blackberry), which the existing website did not have, as well as the annual maintenance cost of managing the website.

It was for all these services that the contract was issued for N78 million, which the Lagos State procurement agency gave a No objection based on the advice of the Ministry of Science and Technology, who are the Government adviser on ICT matters.

In publishing this Contract award which was the Government tradition under my watch, the procurement agency’s website summarised it as “upgrade” only without detailing the other services and this has been distorted by the agents of hate as their suspected “smoking gun”.

For those who are familiar with mobile applications, they will know that users either pay for them online or download them for free.

What is usual is that applications for service are usually provided to users free, but somebody bears the cost.

Since these applications were to be made available to the public for free access and to assist Government communication, we decided to pay for them.

The entire documents are with the Lagos State Government and are available for those who seek the truth. For the record, since 2008, long before the Freedom of Information Act ever passed, we had put out our contracts on the State website because people deserve to know.
It is regrettable that a “summary” of the contract has been deliberately distorted to misinform the public.

This particular website came into being as a result of the decision I made to make my telephone number public for the several thousands of people seeking to reach me daily.

The website that is now under attack helped me to do my job and to respond to citizens, and the contract was issued to run till my last day of office. It stands logic upside down for to “fraudulently” award a contract and then have it published on a website.

To date, there have been 27.666 million hits on this website with 1,844 videos, 34,381 photographs, 2,531 Press Releases and 595 Speeches, among other items for public communication.

I have chosen to make this personal response because as the head of government at the time of the transaction, the buck as they say stops on my desk and also because of the many calls, text messages and mails coming from many people seeking clarification; and to prevent fiction from being mistaken for truth.

I expect that there may be more distorted allegations without evidence, for reasons that remain in the realm of speculation because, I have been informed reliably that large amounts of money are being paid to some of these agents to bear false witness.

I cannot conclude without responding to the crusade of CACOL and their ilk, seeking my prosecution on allegations that have no proof and writing “pre-emptive” letters to the Presidency.

In case they are unaware, I am not looking for a job. I expect them to know that allegations of wrong doing are not resolved without evidence, neither are they resolved in press conferences.

I have served my state, and by extension, my country for Twelve and half years and I did so with my heart.

I am taking the rest that I believe I have earned.

For those who still wish to remain in the mud, they should look in the mirror.

For those who wish to throw mud at me, they should look at their own hands.

As for me, I have moved on. My job is done.

Mr Lazy reader! You probably didn't read his statement that you posted with clear understanding but apparently galloped to make ignorant remarks. He didn't in anyway link the case with the adopted kids to the website saga. That's ridiculous for you to say.. but obviously you didn't read. Anyone who's still having sleepless nights over the website upgrade funds is simply not informed. You have knowledge right in front of you yet you choose to wallow in ignorance, perhaps blinded by shallow sentiments. Fashola has provided clear explanation of the situation... even an idiot will not publish a scandalous project on his site for all to see. It goes against logic.. that's if your cognitive reasoning is still functional.

Babymama: A recent form of madness adopted by guys who just want to have babies without getting married... also can be seen as a delusive attempt by ambitionless females who desperately want to keep their assumed grip on a man.

Chinaimporter:
Another igbo dude.....must these guys win everything.....imagine if awolowo did not enact the abandoned property act.....these guys would have owned nigeria by now.
imagine that all their property was seized during the biafran war and everybody given 20 pounds but 30 yrs later, they have dominated lagos enough to give yorubas headache.....they own most properties in abuja....they run the markets and import/export business,with little resources, they have transformed aba and nnewi into production centres, their states now lead in education in nigeria,they run nollywood, i wonder what would have happened if there was no biafran war or their properties werent seized etc

Normally I'd ignore comments like this. Afterall, they say let the fool wallow in his folly... but I'm a believer in the fact that people's orientation can still change. What amazes me is the level of unnecessary tribal consciousness that you displayed in a thread that had nothing to do with tribe. You seem to seize every opportunity to vent your rusty feelings about Biafra and whatever empty dreams that you have. Everything in your life shouldn't be about Igbo this Igbo that. The tribal filter is unfortunately top in your mental evaluation of people. True nobility is not about one tribe being seemingly better than others or one man being superior to another. True nobility is you being better than the person you once were. God bless you

It appears the job offer has closed. Any idea what's going on...

Thinking "Out of the Box"

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.

The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant's garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her pebble from the bag.

What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution, sometimes we have to think about them in a different way.
