Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need your advice. I’m looking for a good single SIM smartphone to buy this year. Most phones I see around are dual SIM, but I prefer single SIM for personal reasons.

If you are currently using a single SIM device, or you know reliable brands/models I should consider, please share your recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

It happened where I'm staying (Uyo, Akwa Ibom State).

As we speak, the marriage is no more.

Do you see how the whites are busy transforming the world? Ehhh

Elon Musk started something like in his own little way. We can all start something in our own little way that can impact in our immediate environment.

Mr. Chibuike Nwandu's decision to cancel his wedding after discovering his fiancée, Miss Chidimma, was having an affair with a Catholic Priest is totally understandable. This shocking revelation must have been a huge betrayal of trust, making it impossible for him to proceed with the marriage 😔.

A supporting argument for his decision is that trust is foundational in any marriage. If Miss Chidimma was already engaging in an affair, especially with someone as spiritually significant as a Catholic Priest, it raises serious questions about her commitment and integrity. This breach of trust would likely create an unhealthy dynamic in their marriage.

Also, emotional well-being is crucial. Mr. Nwandu deserves to be in a relationship where he feels valued and respected. Given the circumstances, calling off the wedding and cutting ties might be the best decision for his emotional health 🌈. This situation highlights the importance of choosing a partner wisely and ensuring that both parties share mutual respect and trust .

Let's see how things will go.

Indeed, the more you look, the less you see.

What do they mean by one of the fastest growing diversified integrated conglomerates providing array of world-class investment services and automobile sales?.

You're a fool if you think disposing refuse in public space worth being jailed for, a bigger fool when your so called politician are stealing your future without being punished but supports someone being jailed for disposing refuses, ask your brainless skull if that is a constitutional crime...

there's a law called environmental law, if you break that law, the punishment should only be applicable to that law.

What does the Nigerian environmental law state? I mean the one peculiar to the Nigerian constitution? Educate us.

I have an account with first bank. I have no interest in using the account again. I wish to close it. However, Nigerian banks, for whatever reason, don't like closing bank accounts.

I don't want the account to exist again. Even leaving it dormant looks inconveniencing.

Is there anyway I can close it, maybe online or something? Since they don't like doing it at the branch?

PS: There is nothing wrong with the account. No loans or default whatsoever. I'm just not interested in using it again as I have other bank accounts.

Any individual or organization promising returns above 5% monthly should immediately raise suspicion. In normal, legitimate markets,such yields are unsustainable and statistically improbable without extreme risk or hidden agendas.

If someone offers returns above 10% and they’re not the federal government issuing official bonds or treasuries, you’re likely dealing with a fraudster or a Ponzi-scheme operator.

It is the duty of the Nigerian government to:
Flag and investigate unauthorized investment entities
Issue clear, consistent public warnings
Educate citizens on realistic return expectations
Crack down on predators weaponizing economic desperation

This is not just a “mistake” or “bad luck.” People have lost entire life savings.
Retirees. Students. Single mothers. Breadwinners.
Lives have been shattered because of unchecked financial predators.

Oga, if the government warns Nigerians, same Nigerians will troop to the social media to inform the government that they have the right to do whatever they want with their money. They will tell the government to focus on development and allow them to do whatever they want to do with their money.

Bubu till 2032

We hated him so much, yet he retired healthier than he was when he assumed office.

Even churches prayed that the hand of the Lord will be upon "evil governments" but there was no hand.

And he handed over power to a new pharaoh.

MadamVanessa:



I am not justifying the action of the preacher by preaching in such an early hour. But again, Christianity is not respected at all, because of how meek christians seems to be. Was all that insults necessary?

I am telling you boldly, If it was the culture of Muslims to be preaching as christians preach on streets or corners, nobody would dare try this with any Muslim, even if he preaches by 1:00am , nobody will have the guts to confront the Muslim preacher, especially in Muslim dominated areas. You dare not, because the trouble you're looking for, the Muslim folks will give you overdose.

Sometimes I just wish Christians could be more radical. It's no longer funny.

Don't wish for Christians to be radical. I have read the history of the dark ages of the church... the early days of Christianity during the medieval period.

Telecom services were restricted during the protest.
Many had their phone lines disconnected by mobile operators.
The number of drop calls have increased
This sector is not only falling apart but it has deteriorated.

You've made a point. I didn't think in this direction.

Mention one sector in the country that is not falling apart since Tinubu became president and win 50k from me

The telecoms sector is not affected. Those guys are cashing out on a steady

malali:
While the call to improve the living conditions of local church pastors is understandable, it is essential to recognize that the congregation itself largely comprises individuals on minimum wage or even unemployed. The commercialization of worship, which should be free and dedicated to glorifying God, is fundamentally flawed and contradicts biblical teachings.

Commercialization of Worship:
The notion that pastors should live in luxury while their congregation struggles is antithetical to the spirit of Christianity. Worship should not be a means for financial gain but a pure expression of faith. Jesus himself condemned the commercialization of religion, as seen in Matthew 21:12-13, where he drove out the money changers from the temple, declaring, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers."

Congregational Hardships:
Many members of these congregations are barely surviving on meager incomes. With unemployment and poverty rampant, it is unjust to divert resources that could alleviate their suffering towards maintaining an opulent lifestyle for church leaders. The focus should be on serving the community, not on personal enrichment.

Biblical Perspective on Leadership:
True leadership in Christianity is about servitude, not luxury. Mark 10:43-45 emphasizes that those who wish to lead must become servants, following Jesus' example of humility and self-sacrifice. Similarly, 1 Peter 5:2-3 instructs leaders to shepherd their flock willingly and eagerly, not for selfish gain but as examples to the believers.

Financial Accountability:
General Overseers must ensure financial accountability and transparency. The significant disparity between the wealth of church leaders and the poverty of their congregations is a clear sign of misplaced priorities. James 5:1-5 warns against the hoarding of wealth and the exploitation of workers, highlighting that such actions are condemned by God.

The focus should not be on increasing salaries to exorbitant levels but on ensuring fair compensation that reflects the economic realities of the congregation. Church leaders must embody the principles of humility, service, and selflessness that Jesus demonstrated, prioritizing the welfare of their flock over personal luxury.

Nollywood actress and comedian Wofai Fada’s in-laws have issued a public statement rejecting her marriage to their son, Taiwo Cole.

The Cole Family of Victoria Island, Lagos, issued the disclaimer in a public statement.

Engineer Kunle Cole signed a disclaimer on behalf of the family, stating that no acquaintances, relatives, or friends are aware of any marriage between their son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole, and Wofai Fada, and that no authorization was issued in this respect.

They advised the public to disregard any publications and papers distributed concerning the wedding.

Someone made this information public, along with the assertion that the actress is pregnant.

Recall that Wofai Fada shared beautiful photos of herself and her lover whose identity she concealed from the public. She shared these lovely photos on her official Instagram page.

The pre wedding photos captured her showing off her engagement ring while kissing her husband.

From the caption, it is noted that the couple will be tying the knot in this same 2024 even if an they are yet to announce the official date for the wedding.


The statement reads:

“Images and videos come to our attention showing our son Taiwo getting married to a Wofai Ewa in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross River State. This serves to notify all acquaintances, family, and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island Lagos are not aware of any marriage ceremony of our Son Taiwo Olakitan Cole, neither did we grant permission nor support in this regard. As such, person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event, are not known nor accepted by the family. All publications and documents being circulated about this are to be disregarded.”

I've discovered that closing a bank account is a big deal in Nigeria.

The bankers will frown and refer you to the marketing unit, who will then give you a thousand reasons why you shouldn't close the account.

They will ask you to write to the manager of the branch where you opened the account, but the application never goes through.

I don't see the need having too many accounts.

Does anyone know the best and fastest approach to close a bank account in Nigeria?

Ironically, my Monika is CentralBank

Signs of a collapsing economy, Nigerians should stock up on essential goods and dollars, we're definitely heading the venezuelan way

The level 6 civil servant earning ₦45,000 per month should probably also stock up on essential goods and dollars.
