Encitee3991:
Picked up two items today from the post office
Carrier was Sing POST, for the first, while the other, Post NL
At the time of notification to pickup, both tracking number were still showing in transit.
The first accumulated 17 days in transit(notified to pick up yesterday) , while the other 24 days (notified to pick up last week Thursday)

No custom fee for pic 1, even though the seller boldly wrote PHONE in the item description

why do you think there was no custom duty attached Any idea??

ganie:
All my packages have arrived ooo....both Speedaf and Nipost.

I just picked up the Nipost today and I can say it was very fast if we go by what people have been saying here. I was called to come pick up and it's the Nipost office inside my estate. So I was even happy to give the woman the 2k she requested for (2pcs of phone) because they came separately.

how long did it take?? Also how do I know if it will be shopped via nipost or Speedaf? Also did it Incure custom duty of any kind?

Nonsense. This man is crossing his bandry, first it was the innocent CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele and is EFCC chairman. He's creating Lifetime enemies, but it will surely hit him hard. Am not surprised it's government of Yourba he wants to fix only Yourba Muslims in higher positions. NONSENSE

you are totally stupid.. I'm not a tinubu supporter, but this move is a very good one.. A Man that has been accused on national TV of corruption by a Governor, you expect him to remain in office when investigation about him and his office is being carried out right? You are so stupid, the hatred you have for tinubu has Blinded you to the point that nothing good he does or would do will ever sit well with you, go and heal you are sick...

uzomakanaki:
Fellow nairalanders, please I need advice from matured minds in this group.

I'm in a two year relationship with my woman, we're both working. I'm 34 while she's 27. My montly salary and commision is over 200k with other side hustle i do that bring in funds for me, i also just got a car i want to register with bolt/uber to still bring in funds in my free time.

My fiancee on the other hand is earning 75k monthly. I take good care of her needs and makes sure she doesn't lack anything I can afford.

We both plan to settle down by December.

Sometimes last month she missed her period, after the test we discovered she's 5 weeks pregnant.

I'm against abortion because of the dangers involved in the aftermath, i suggested she keep the baby while I come and see her family and do some necessary things before the main wedding. But she insisted in aborting the baby, reason being that she can't be pregnant and be working. Unless I place her on a monthly salary.

She has aborted the baby and had complications because of the quack nurse that performed the abortion. I spent a lot to make her back on her feet

I'm gradually losing interest in the relationship cos that single act of her. I've kept this to myself.

I just need advice on how to handle this. Cos I'm already fed up with her with her recent disrespect and the way she talks to me anyhow even in public.

to have aborted against your wish I s bug RED FLAG. what if you were not the father? And she saved Y'all the shame of making you care for a potential bastard? Na sign God dey give u so ooo, better run and look for someone who is more serious with you and listens to you.. Abortion is suppose to be a consesus agreement between the man and the woman, no a decision of one person.

lhordspy:
Kudos to Seyi makinde for checkmating his excesses before it spiral beyond control. I think now, Auxilliary is back to default setting, and suing for peace.

Unlike other region (especially down east) , In the Southwest we don't condone lawlessness. We nip the bud at early stage. We dont encourage and cheer on criminality, neither do our governors use every available TV interviews and press releases to beg for the release of a terrorist kept in detention by the government so as to prevent him from further havoc.

We must all quit deceiving ourselves and take responsibilities. Tribal sentiment in the face of criminality must be set aside

nonsense, who gave him the power in the first place It is hightime governors starts doing this park and park revenue thing the right way which will be technology inclined. If graduate in the states are being employed to get a 100k monthly as revenue collector or park managements I'm sure they will be grateful, but these governors(seyi makinde exempted) uses these touts to win and rug elections and then give them parks to control as a repayment for their loyalty during election, now when they grow out of proportion you start complaining..

thelords4u:
I no dey whine you, it's the truth... I have both offer of employment as I dey. I am 41yrs old married with kids but lost my job about 2-3yrs ago ran into debts and many financial problems. So I have been living a terrible life with children until God now gave me these two offers. But I just want to get things right this time, I can't afford to make any mistake this time

me and u know say na the 500k job dey ur eye, and it is reasonable and very good. No let anybody deceive u to tell u Federal government kin, I b security blah blah blah. U are 45years and u can't get to the highest point before retirement kicks in... In your years of working for the government job, you might never make up to 30 million accumulated savings, but with the 500k job, few months u will clear ur debt and be able to save up for an investment that will set you up for life even after retirement...

Nazgul:
N300 is too much biko. With dangote refinery fully operational, I'm expecting it to be way cheaper than that.

una dey sleep.. That 300 naira is because they heard that subsidy gas been removed, the selfish nature of Nigeria kicks in even tho they still have old stock they are selling, that's how wicked Nigerias are.. Let me tell u that fuel will be more than 300 per litre. It is from 400 and above to 600 per liter when the effect of subsidy removal kicks in.

SultanOfAbia:
My mother is furious that I don't want to come over to the UK.
This month my younger sister left for UK and it's remaining me.
Documents and all papers are right and after couple family intervention I decided to go for interview.
I really didn't want to go to Uk
I love my life here in Nigeria tho things are hard.. it's still my home
I feel more connected to my father's land.
Going to abroad is not my plan. My mother thinks I'm possessed by spirit that want me to not succeed.
My uncles have pleaded with me to go and join my mum and sis in UK.

I was given UK visa last year, refused to join my sister that traveled this May

honestly I don't want to move to Uk.
I know how hard life can be in 9ja but i still love this country.
Mumsi says she is really dissapoinmented in me for staying back.
Did I do anything wrong?

do you brother, forget what any naysayers would have to say, if you are doing well for yourself or have your life planned out well here, then stay rather than be a visitor in another man's land.. That doesn't mean u can't go on vacation to enjoy life Iver there when on holiday, but I get that you don't want to stay in the UK as a resident

Karleb:
Because she knows you will regret it in the future.

You are like that lady that chose a polytechnic over a university. Give it time, the regret will hit ya.

nonsense talk... He will not regret nothing if his way and life is well planned in Nigeria.. Forget that useless syndrome of I can only make it when I move oversea. If he is doing well for himself as a man I don't see what use the UK would be for him really.

this man really has no shame.. After collecting all the benefits in monetary terms and privileges, it is now you want to identify that it was unconstitutional.. If you are really a just man, you would reject it given reason that it was unconstitutional. But after eating all the salaries, allowances, budget padding, blue diplomatic passport etc, now u want to say it is unconstitutional.. No honor among thieves really..

EyenIbibio1:
Her past doesn't matter, so long she doesn't go back

past matters alright, stop all these hypocrisy.... At times past makes the present unlivable.. I know u must be a lazy to say this. Imagine your brother bringing a girl home for marriage and you discovered she was ur roommate that was doing runs at one time and aborted more than half a dozen pregnancies that you knew of, and ur father & 4 uncles discovered they've carried and slept with her at one point of her life when she was doing the nonsense, now because she is a decent girl in ur own estimation, you will tell me it doesn't matter abi Please quit all these hypocrisy sentiment

All thanks to everyone for their immense contributions towards my elder brother predicament. This place is truly home away from home. For those getting to know or who just come across this thread, you can read through the link posted above to get a grasp of where I'm coming from.


Someone sent me a mail having gone through my post and we both shared contact. He works on the island and he was willing to absorb my elder brother into his organisation. It's an organisation where one learn a skills and get paid monthly. Then after being certified in your skills, you can be employed as a full staff into the organisation. He would be given #20,000 monthly as stipend while learning as an apprentice but the man promised to be adding #10,000 to it making a total of #30,000 monthly. This person didn't know me from Adam but was touched by my brother's condition and he developed interest in helping him in his own little way. He asked me to inform my elder brother and get back to him.


I discussed everything to my brother verbally. Infact, i relate everything to him in my mother's tongue for ease of communication. I asked him if he has any interest in the offer and he said yes. He has interest. He's very much interested. He said he'd specialised in plumbing. I reached out to the man and we both finalise everything. He asked my brother when would he love to resume and he said month end. After the call, i asked him why month end and he said he doesn't have anything. He needs to get some few clothes, toiletries and some money for upkeep. I asked him where would he get money from less than 2 weeks to month end. He claimed if he can see any bus to work with. I told him you've been out of job going to a year, you didn't get any bus. Why do you think you'd get a bus within a short space of time? I asked him what if i rally round for him, is he willing to resume before the month end, he said yes with happy face. I borrowed #10,000 from a friend, i had #5,000 left with me, making a total of #15,000. I gave him 2 pairs of trousers and shirt i had. He bought a small school bag of #3,000 to put his clothes and he left in two days time. That was last week Wednesday. Oh! God, i was the happiest man on earth that very day.. I was so happy for him believing that he would become somebody from there. I called him to know if he has gotten there and how the work was. He said everything was fine.


I was surprised to see my brother at home on Friday, two days after he left. I asked him hope all is well? He said yes. I asked him why did he came back home so soon considering the cost of transportation to island. He was given a room he'd put up with. I expected him to stay there and focus on his job, whenever i have any money i would send to him. The man that helped him with the job called me later in the day. He narrated the gross misconduct of my brother. My brother left the job on Friday during working hours. The work is Monday to Saturday. Though Saturday is half day. He explained every details of the job to my brother before he resumed work. My brother was assigned to someone else to work with, not directly the man that helped him. The man only came to check up on him daily to know how he's fairing. The man was there when my brother took his bag, headed outside with the claim that he was going home. The man told him he can't go home now till after work, which is on Saturday. My brother didn't listen to the boss he was assigned with nor the man that helped him. He left right in their presence.


They do give daily report, and the man he was assigned with reported that he doesn't have anyone to work with, particularly on Saturday. The management asked him about my brother assigned to him and he said he has left on Friday. My brother was dismissed for his attitude. I pleaded to give him a second chance, but the man said it was beyond his power. The management has decided. I asked him to report there today and apologise for his gross misconduct. He went but apology wasn't accepted. If i was the man that helped my brother with this job or if i was among the management. I would do the same thing. I'd gladly lay him off without thinking twice.


My mother had been crying having heard the outcome of everything. I myself had cry my eyes out, all because of this my elder brother. I am fed up. The burden is too much. I might be tempted to harm him living under the same roof with him. I had been trying to console my mum but she wouldn't listen. Landlord came to harass her last week, the very day my elder brother left, because of house rent. I had 3 younger siblings to look after. Here comes my elder brother problem again. I am responsible for all of these with my meagre pay. I don't know what else to do for this guy. I don't think i can put up with him anymore. I am tired. Why is this life full of problems? I am losing my mind completely.

ignore him, you brother's problem is pride, for himself working under someone he might be older than.. And that pride will ruin him.......... The time of regret for him will be too late by then... Just ignore him.

You are a pure ignorant clown. Lion heart produced by the same Asaba axis is the first nollywood Netflix movie and the most profitable movie in nollywood.

Many Netflix movies are also produced by in Asaba axis.

Overwhelming majority of nollywood fans don't have Netflix account. It's money spinning but not a popular platform in the continent.

Most movies shown there are crappy too. The reason they resort to extreme nudity to attract viewership.

Blood sisters, Anikulakpo etc are Netflix originals, meaning they are Netflix funded projects. If the bulk of the movie in that area is a product of backward integration of a foreign online distribution platform, it means movie production there is not self sustaining in the long run.

by asaba I wasn't referring to the area, this you know very well but you have chosen to be ignorant.. Lion heart by genevieve was a first of its kind in 2018 and did you by chance get to see the budget allocated to it? Of cause u are blind to that. You mentioned other movies which are Netflix funded, what happened to the asaba movie that Netflix has refused to fund? Because it is bad for business as it will be a bad investment, wacky storyline and a movie totally predictable from the beginning. You are not truthful to yourself if you encourage the nonsense those director and producers in onitsha and asaba still produce, those movie type died with the era of vcd and dvd, when these movie could be rented or sold in traffic, it is the time of Internet streaming platform, Netflix and Co, as well as cinema, how many asaba wood movie would any cinema want to buy viewing franchise? Because they will loose money... Asaba wood should incline with the upgrade before tham and people like you should stop supporting and aiding mediocre and backwardness.... They reason why they don't grow is because they have failed to move with the trend, they are still stock in 2004 to 2011 movie type.. Have you seen the story lines of those Netflix orignal? King of boy, gang of Lagos, shanty town, anikulapo, brotherhood, etc? And u are still supporting and magnifying asaba wood mediocre.. The wise ones among them arw starting to move and getting supporting role on those latest movies, people like zuby Micheal, etc, but you see etiko and Co, she is a local champion and she will remain so... Stop supporting nonsense.. How does a movie that doesn't vebe meet standard in form of camera quality be nominated for any award in this life

Winner90:
AMVCA is not popular. It more of a Lagos social media personalities' award

Unfortunately, none of those in the so called AMVCA is a true nollywood personality. Most of them are social media influenzers doing skits, short videos and African magic movies and soaps as part time. Some are merely hustling ex-multichoice housemates being promoted by the company. They easily mobilise their social media fans to support them.

Did you notice any difference when Nkem owoh and patience ozokwo came to speak? Those are the real nollywood personalities.

You are talking about Chizzi alichi et al because you know them. It means they have made names for themselves without one million naira award. However, that cannot be said of Toby bekere, kunle afolayo that are not known outside their entertainment enclave. That is why they need to amass as many "awards" as possible.

Let Mercy Johnson, Friedrich Leonard, Ruth kadiri, Ebere okaro, Onyinye udeze or even Chinenye Nnebe or Regina Daniel of yesterday visit any African country and see if they won't be "mobbed".

Until I start seeing regular faces I see in ROK1 and 2, and African magic channels, then the award ceremony remains an "Owambe night"

most useless and stagnated comment I have seen in 2023... Oga asabawood is not growing, their story line is wack and repeated with different name, their story line is predictable, which is boring and doesn't sell, hence reason why amazon prime or Netflix can never buy their movie, Neither cinema buying viewing right to it, let's not even talk about the picture and sound quality at all. Those people you call influencer who are the new and upgraded face of nollywood is why people can actually make a decent living outside nollywood unlike the so called asaba movie that pay is very poor, some are paid as less as 20k for lead role, have u not asked urself that why is it that it is only when they are sick you really know how poor they are..asaba movie that is filed with sexual immorality of sleeping with director or producer to get a role, a full movie budget can even be under 2million, etc.. The Real money is in those video streaming platform like amazon prime, and Netflix buying viewing right to your movie or cinema buying viewing franchise etc, that what made us know an actor can be paid 1million to as Hugh as 10million for lead role, who go give u that money for asabawood? It is hightime those local champion start improving and catching up with trend first by changing their camera for a start. Even the normal traditional yoruba movies have now left the asaba movie behind RN, movies like anikulapo, king of thieves etc.. It is a pity that your kind doesn't see that asabawood is far behind.

Now we all know why apapa keep fighting this guys, they've squandered lot of money...less than 9month $15m vanished from Labor party purse.

Anyways, it's non of my business. The money or donation came from those who prefer to labor in vain. They are headless mobs indeed.

rubbish talk, a man didn't misappropriate money from goverment cofers as governor, it is a useless 15 million dollar that can't even do jack for him he will misappropriate, how you believe this nonsense u are saying shows how bias you are... Apapa was paid, just like this one was paid.. Meanwhile no I'm not arguing that funds weren't misappropriated, but I can bet you that Peter Obi never had access to 1kobo of campaign funds, everything like chattered flight, event planning and logistics where done by people, how does he have access to funds. That man is just too smart to soil his hand in a useless chicken change 15million dollar.

Bawa should speak for himself, we all know he is highlly corrupt, because since he assumed office he has never arrested nor tried any corrupt politician only yahoo boys

I am 100% clean in this country

No stain, no corruption case

enter politics first, u go know if u clean to not.. Na that time that girl when tell u say she no want & u sweet talk her and later slept with u and even told u she enjoyed every bit of it, she will rise up and say u r*ped her.... Lol tinx dey happen my brother, like he said nobody is 100% clean.. Na only God clean 100% even angels no clean 100%

seunmsg:
The judgement stands until it is set aside by a superior court. And in the interest of justice and equity, Alex Otti should not be sworn in on May 29. Ikpeazu should remain in office till the Supreme Court rules on the matter.

listen to the nonsense u just said, ikpeazu should remain in office... Go and wake up from your slumber, u obviously still sleeping.

My girlfriend of 8 months has broken up with me because she says I have no plans for her

I was surprised by the outburst cus she is still very young just 19 I don't know what she means by this statement because non of us are ready to marry now

I love this girl so much... I suspect that because her birthday is coming up next month and I haven't said anything about it so she feels I don't take her seriously


I have pleaded and talked to her but she is adamant about her decision that she is tired as I'm wasting her time


I haven't talked about her birthday yet cuz I'm having a hard time, things are pretty tight with me but she just can't understand


Please guys what should I do I'm truly in love with this girl that I'm having a hard time moving on

God dey try rescue u, but u self no need rescue... Better run from that girl. A girl that can break up with u bcoz of mere common birthday that more are to be celebrated in future.... Imagine getting married to that kind of person and ur business failed & u go broke, won't she leave u or F someone else that can meet her need at that point in time Abeg let her go biko

thesilentman:
Because we live in proximity-same town, she wouldn't quit checking up on her daughter virtually every day or at least every other day.

I felt a deep intrusion on my privacy so yesterday I summoned the gut and asked her if she didn't have a house. Before she could reply, I told her, 'learn to stay where you belong! I did not marry daughter and mother!`
She has since disappeared into thin air.

This evening am thinking whether i bleeped up or not.

you are veey stupid.. I'm a man and I will tell you for free this is wrong no matter how you look at it.. You have no such right to talk to your mother inlaw like that.. The best thing you could have done is talk to your wife to tell her mother to give you guys breathing space, if only she refuse is when u can tell her yourself, but definitely not with this tone or choose words of yours, there are more polite ways of handling such rather than this rude way.

CHIOMAEZEH:
Hahaha.... I heard he has a tour to start on Saturday... Chai... Him people go begin lobby politicians to help bend police hand...

I want then to use him as scape goat... Most of our celebrities have used see finish to take our police as lower class citizens...

I second your second paragraph.. There is a parable in my local dialect that translate, if u no do ur your own mama pikin when be same mama and same papa with you STRONG THING, your papa pikin(step sibling) no go fear you... He should be used as a scape goat for other celebrity to know truly no one is above the law, if Nigeria choose to work.

Absuchat:

If the man no just like his life he can go ahead and send the suicidal DM

nothing will happen, absolutely nothing... Just leave that one.. The man will not come out bcoz he was in support of seun going by what he was saying in the video..

Sowore is a mad man nobody should take seriously.. WHY ALWAYS SEUN?? IS HE FELA'S ONLY HEIR? THAT HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE ONE DISGRACING THE FAMILY NAME

Slurity:
SO, because they want to use him for scape goat, they should not follow law that says they cant detain him more than 48 hours? They did not arrest him o, he is the one that turned himself in

they are well aware of the law not to detain him more than 48hours, hence why they approached a court of law to extend it. It is left for the judge to use her discretion.... How is that against the law? Coz it is, still under 48hours

CHIOMAEZEH:
Them wan suffer the guy ooo.... But he was ranting online that he had evidence against the police officer... Why he never leak the evidence or he dey wait till court case after 21 days in police net?

WHAT he is going through be like pampering to what him papa go through...

at least his father was civilised enough to end it at criticism and verbal assault.. His father never physically assaulted police officers on camera and bragged about it

Diligent1:
God take control

na God dey take am go inside prison so for at least 21days... It is hightime celebrities start realising THE LAW IS SUPREME.
