Enough of this criminal act by the banks in this country, most especially diamond and first bank, this days bank arbitrarily debit your account without consent.

This morning I received an debit aLERT from Diamond Bank for a deduction of #500 in January and #550 in February all for stamp duty charge. I hardly do withdrawals and deposit in through the counter, I mostly make use of the mobile app to do my transactions and it is not often.

Please my friends, is stamp duty no longer #50. so why will Diamond Bank debit me 1050 for just stamp duty for 2 months. That's how dey debited me #5000 Last week, that it is d minimum bal for Diamondextra acc whc I didn't signed up For, dey have to reverse it after I went to their branch to complain.

Please enough of this executive criminality, Banks make billions from Nigerians everyday from illegal debiting of the customers account.

LET'S SAY NO TO THIS ILLICIT ACT BY NIGERIAN BANKS.

Young Man @Sarki or whatever your name is. Go and get a better job to get you busy with other things, you have literally

Buhari governemnt is working

This will be long, but necessary inorder to put in proper context the matter of who is to blame for the poor appreciation of educational/moral values in our society.

I have never watched BBnaija nor the Africa version, and never will. That is because I find it of no serious moral/educational implication, not even of responsible entertainment benefit. I also do not judge those who watch them. They paid to watch such and deserve their benefit. But to suggest that such reality shows helped in eroding our moral/educational values is quite untrue.

Let me shock you......

10th of May 2017 will mark my 7years of active daily participation on facebook. So let me tell you what I have discovered and proven over and over with respect to our value for education and high morals.

Nkechi is a pretty and intelligent girl on facebook. She has 5000 friends, most of whom sent her friendship requests purely because of her photo beauty.

On Monday, Nkechi posted a well articulated and educative piece on her timeline, rich in knowledge and full of wisdom. 24hrs after the post, she got 45likes and 20comments...... awesome!

Two days later, same Nkechi, same girl, posted a red hot selfie, or maybe a picture that showed the full compliments of her physical attributes. Just 1hour later, she already got 200likes and 80comments..... most of which are praises for her physical endownments.

Then I ask: between Nkechi's BEAUTY and BRAIN, which is EASILY celebrated by our very MORAL facebook society? Your answer is as good as mine.

I am aware that LIKES on picture posts is a form of appreciation, i do like pictures also. But do me a favour; ask facebook to give you your LIKE history for the year 2016. Match your LIKES for picture posts against your LIKES for intelligent and informative posts. You will be shocked to discover that you are not a champion of education/common sense afterall.

Now here is the implication of our depraved value system with respect to facebook. Assuming facebook has a system where traffic occasioned by LIKES/COMMENTS on posts are rewarded financially, then all the pretty boys and girls, the slay queens, and wait for it..... the breasts posting mamas and muscles/six packs posting bobos on facebook will be far RICHER and well rewarded than the intelligent boys and girls on facebook......... in our VERY MORAL society!

Now BBnaija is not too different from the facebook experience. A group of young people whose selection was based largely on physical attributes and not necessarily intellectual capacity, are gathered in a house just to enjoy themselves. They eat, talk nonesense, take turns to kiss eachother on live TV, and at the end a winner will emerge.

From the info I gathered this morning via google search, the winner of BBnaija will go home with #25m plus a car, but the winner of the last cowbellpedia got a laptop plus a #100 per annum scholarship(source: google).

The question is; who is responsible for this MADNESS?

The answer; YOU and I.

How?

Now BBnaija has more sponsors than any educational program ever hosted in Nigeria. The reason is simple, LARGE VIEWERSHIP ATTRACTS MORE TV REVENUE, HENCE MORE SPONSORS. The result is.....MORE MONEY.

It means that the #25m given to the winner of BBnaija will be contributed by every Nigerian who tuned in to watch the program while it lasted. Same Nigerians who would find cowbellpedia boring and not tune in, hence starving the program and other educational TV programs of large viewership and sponsorship, hence the resultant poor reward/appreciation of academic champions.

What is the viewing base of educational programs as against entertainment programs (i don't want to talk about football today)?
In bookshops, which novels sell faster; educational or romantic novels?
In the cinemas, which movie tickets sell faster; educational or romantic movies?
You can answer for yourselves......

In the days to come, after the BBnaija show must have ended, all the housemates that participated whether victorious or not will enter stardom. They will become celebrities, invited to red carpet events. Some may even become actors/actresses, graciously invited by Nollywood. Their CV/qualification for stardom is that they were part of BBnaija. Their names will become popular amongst young people for being good at kissing/breast sucking and for having SWAG and artificial American accent. Yet, we do not remember the names of men and women who made a mark at the WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLONAIRE GAME SHOW, neither do we remember the names of past winners of various SPELLING BEE competitions.

So all over our land, our people are more willing to reward/celebrate stupity, mediocrity and immorality. Thus, when the winner of BBnaija eventually emerges, he/she will be handsomely rewarded with #25m......... for talking vulgar, speaking nonesense english that cannot pass WAEC, and for kissing and sucking breasts/getting her breasts sucked on LIVE TV....... by our VERY MORAL society. Lord have mercy!

So fellow moral country men and women, it is not the government that has destroyed our VALUE for education and high moral standard as much as it is not the government that will reward the winner of BBnaija. Ask yourself, when was the last time you actually sent/accepted a facebook friendship request based on the quality of knowledge on a person's timeline rather than the beauty of their profile/uploaded pictures?

There are many people who cannot read a long post no matter how intelligible. The moment a post is long regardless of it's content, they will pass. But let a pretty Nkechi add 50pics at once, they will follow the pictures with zeal and tenacity and end up in her inbox/timeline with BABY I LOVE YOU or THANKS FOR ACCEPTING MY REQUEST.

What a shame!!!

So do not be decieved, it was not BBNaija and the entertainment world that eroded our morality and educational values, rather our already eroded moral/educational value system created, sustained and continues to sustain such morally depraved programs on TV. And i promise you, if those who organised BBnaija suddenly discover that Nigerians did not tune in en masse, but have shown TREMENDIOUS preference for moral and educational programs instead, without any advice, they will abandon the project and focus on some more responsible projects.

Distinguished fellow country people of high moral esteem, stop blaming the system for rewarding IMMORALITY far above excellence. We are the market that feeds and sustains IMMORALITY.....

F.G 500,000 Teaching JOBS for #23,000/Month ($60/Month)...
A BOLD step in a very WRONG direction, and an insult to the graduate Degree. I rather get paid Nothing to own a large poultry, Fish farm and plantain plantation AFTER 2yrs apprenticeship than get paid 23,000 to become a Primary school teacher after wasted 2years of learning what i presumed i never learned after 5yrs of Graduate Degree.

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE ADVISING THIS BUHARI LED GOVT.
First, Our Major Challenge as a Nation is never lack of teachers, What happened to Agriculture?? What happened to entrepreneurship
It would have been more reasonable if F.G produces 500,000 Modernized farmers every 2yrs.This Graduates should be trained and mentored in different aspects of Modernized Agriculture.

The 2yrs should serve as an apprenticeship program with the first year being training and second year being practicals after which they own
there farms with seedlings, capital and mentor-ship support from the Government. Instead of Grazing reserves, State should donate lands to this noble course of OPERATION FEED THE NATION WITH MADE IN NAIJA FOOD!!

This way the nation would have added to her declining GDP, Provided real and True empowerment.This way the Government needs not add any more people to there payroll as they currently owe above 6months salary in most states.
This is what this country needs now and not teachers, so after they graduate from there training as teachers whose school will they teach Aside Lecturers how many teachers earn up to 100k a month Who is advising this Govt.

This country needs real solutions and not political noise and modernized Slavery. F.G said it was 500,000 Permanent Jobs but now its called a Volunteering service to the Nation (Glorified NYSC II). Enough of all this deceits.
Who ever has access to F.G should please take this to them and also let them get rid of all those clueless confused advisers and Ministers to move this Nation forward. Enough is Enough please.
PROVIDE REAL EMPOWERMENT IF YOU CANT PROVIDE THE PROMISED JOBS.[b][/b]

[/b]BEDC: EXCESSIVE ESTIMATIN BILLING BY BEDC

I am bringing my case here because this is the only medium my voice and complains can be heard, which also represents millions of Nigerians facing the same agony and humiliation of estimated billing with mutiny by BEDC, who don’t have means to present their case to the general public.

My bills have been coming normal, not until the month of April, 2016. Below is a copy of my bills for proper analysis.

[b][/b]MONTH OF MARCH
Previous Reading was 4767 and Present Reading was 4917
4917-4767=150units * 24.08= N 3612 which is correct.[b]

[/b]MONTH OF APRIL
In the month of April 2016, my present meter reading was 5069 units, and this is very clear from the reading the marketer made and wrote on the bill (see picture). I was surprise that, when the bill of April came, they used a manufactured present reading of 5647units instead of 5069units to estimate my bill.[b]

[/b]ANALYSIS
Normal Reading
Previous Reading was 4917, Present Reading was 5069
5069-4917=152units *24.08= N 3660.16[b]

[/b]BEDC ESTIMATED READING
[b][/b]5647-4917=730UNITS*24.08 = N 17578.4
N 17578.4 for a 3 Bedroom flat for one month without AC, Deep Freezer, Water Heater, Electric Cooker etc. I leave the house by 8am and return by 5pm with only my fridge on. More than 80% of this time there will be no light. So I wonder what they are charging.[b]

[/b]MONTH OF MAY
[b][/b]In the month of May, it became worst as they didn’t use any readings at all to estimate the bill even though their marketing staff came to read the meter when they drop the bill. They just wrote 706units as consumption and brought forward a whooping sum of N 17000.48 as my bill for a month. Find attached my bill for the month of May.[b]


This is outrageous and broad-day light stealing, humiliation and oppression by BEDC to Nigerian Citizens of Delta State, Edo and other area of jurisdiction of BEDC.

I have photocopied the said estimated bills to the customer service office and still nothing has been done. All they keep telling me is to go and pay my normal bill; I don’t know which one is normal bill to pay.
From a reliable source, I heard that BEDC Staff where giving a matching order and mandate to generate funds by all means, that the amount they generate, will determine salaries; and since then they have been issuing indiscriminate and unchecked estimated bills on their customers and Nigerians.

I am using this medium to call on the federal government, NLC, Human Right Commissions, the Management of BEDC and other concerned Nigerians to be conscious and aware of the suffering ordinary Nigerians are going through in the hands of BEDC and other Distribution Companies across the country. Enough is enough; we can’t continue to be Slaves in our own country.

Please MOD; bring this report to front page, because it represents the suffering, cry and agony of millions of Nigerians who don’t have a means to communicate their pains.

Hmmm... And I am considering getting the Innjoo Fire2.

RUUUUNN FOR YOUR LIFE

INJOO USELESS BRAND USELESS COMPANY AND TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY

I bought my injoo Fire Plus in September, in less than a month the middle of the screen stopped working, i was managing it like
that until it got so frustrating that i cant snap, chat freely send message and to crown it all the battery got swollen in less than
three months, the phone became useless.

The worst part of it is that i could not fix the phone around anywhere in the country, so i opted to calling injoo
service centers service line for help. I tried calling the number (08184366068) for over a month before someone could pick the call,
most times the phone contact is always switched off or not reachable. They asked me to send the phone to lagos @ 79/80 Awolowo Way Ikeja, Trinity Mall Down, Beside Diamond Bank. I sent the phone immediately not minding the cost of transportation
and inconveniences, that was in late February. Ever since then i have been calling, waiting and hoping to get my phone back but all to no avail, they keep telling me that they don't have the parts to fix it; Imagine INJOO themselves don't have the parts to fix their own phone. it is so funny and unprofessional. I went through the nightmare of calling a number that never went, even the little time i got them on phone, it is the same story of no parts for my phone, Until three(3) months later. I called them in May and one of customer care rep i got online frustratedly told that my phone was ready, and that was a relieve. I sent someone to pick it up for me in Lagos, and when i received the phone after three months it was the same or even worst than as i took it to them, they did'nt change the touch pad, neither did they change the battery, my phone came back to me worst, because the stupid INJOO people only did a factory reset and i lost all my contacts and information instead. I WILL NOT ADVICE MY ENEMY TO BUY AN INJOO PHONE. WHEN YOU HEAR IN.... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

pls send me the past question for ptdf chimaraiyke@gmail.com

Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari surely meant well for the Nigerian people. His integrity, discipline and avowed commitment to fight, name and shame corruption had never been in doubt since Nigerians have high hopes in his administration to ‘fight corruption among the elites’, in a bid to free Nigeria’s economy from Kleptomaniac. As it is a fad that “when you fight corruption, surely corruption will fight back,” aptly captures the trending conspiracy of few Nigerian Army Generals (retired) and former Heads of State who allegedly prompted Buhari to ‘let-off’ his earlier, intentional investigation of $182million Halliburton bribe scandal, so he may continually ‘govern Nigeria in peace’.



CNN iReport gathered that few weeks before Buhari made his maiden visit to United States, words reached him that few retired Army Generals who were erstwhile Heads of State were allegedly not happy with the planned moves by the no-nonsense disciplinarian to re-open the Halliburton scandal, with the sole intention to expose, disgrace and prosecute some of culpable generals and other highly-placed Nigerians whose hands may have been ‘soiled’ by the cookie-jar of corruption in Bonny Island Liquefied Natural Gas Project.
As such, after General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), a former Nigeria’s Head of State received a phone call from from General Olusegun Obasanjo, also a former Nigeria’s president where he brought the attention of IBB to the fact that they way Buhari was going about corruption-fight, he would eventually probe the majority of past administration, including IBB era. This position was echoed by another Nigerian Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar; which prompted a conspiracy theory to ‘place Buhari in order’. Abdusalami had visited IBB in his Minna Castle in Niger State, there it was concluded that IBB should stylishly pass on their position to Buhari to halt his earlier intended probe of his predecessors.
In a press statement issued by IBB through his media adviser, Prince Kassim Afegbua, it reportedly reads: “On General Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his colleague former president. But, for the purpose of the record, we are conversant with General Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou-attitude. He is a one-time minister of petroleum and we have good records of his tenure. Secondly, he also presided over Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) which records we also have. We challenge him to come out in clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him to expose his records of performance during those periods. Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. General Buhari should be properly guided.”
CNN iReport gathered when intelligence report reached Buhari on the position of these retired Army Generals and former Heads of State, and bearing in mind how mean they can fully engage him in ‘dirty-fight’ which may ridicule him in the eyes of Nigerians and expose his stewardship then as Minister of Petroleum in 1976 that led to the mysterious disappearance of a whooping US $2.8 Billion from Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC account in Midlands Bank, United Kingdom allegedly under his watchful eyes, Buhari quickly made a detour and issued a press statement through Femi Adesina, his Special Adviser, Media & Publicity claiming the investigation of Buhari administration would only be limited to his predecessor, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GEJ, the man who honorably handed peacefully to Buhari on May 28, 2015 at Eagle Square so Nigeria may remain united as an indivisible nation.
For the records, Buhari was appointed Minister of Petroleum in 1976 under the Murtala/Obasanjo administration. Not much is known about any scandals that occured during his tenure as Minister, but there are rumors of the mysterious disappearance of US$2.8 Billion from the NNPC account in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom, during Buhari’s stewardship. Now that IBB has threatened to expose him, it lends a certain credibility to the rumors indicting Buhari of grand graft.
As if Jonathan knew that this would happen. In the last days of his administration as president in Aso Rock villa on May 27, 2015 during Federal Executive Council valedictory session witnessed by big-wigs of Peoples Democratic Party, he said “Some people are even calling for the probe of the government, but I think in Nigeria, there are a lot of many things that will be probed, very many things, even debts owed by states and debts owed by this country from 1960 up to this time. They say it is Jonathan’s administration that accrued these debts,” Jonathan said.
“I believe that anybody that is coming for probe must also ensure that this probe is extended beyond the Jonathan administration. Otherwise, to me, it will be a witch-hunt. If we are very sincere, it is not only the Jonathan administration that should be probed.”
CNN iReport investigation showed that Jonathan administration may have been singled-out as ‘corrupt government’ due to the fact that he was a minority-leader from Niger-Delta and obviously not a military, but a civilian leader. There are feelers from some Nigerians that this probe may not have happened if Jonathan had been a retired Army General.
For Folu Adewope, an undergraduate of University of Texas Arlington, UTA, her words: “This is obviously a witch-hunt, charade and selective humiliation with ethnic coloration under corruption-guise. I strongly believe this investigation would not have happened if Jonathan had hailed from the North and had been a retired Army General. Why can’t Buhari open the Halliburton scandal, and openly prosecute Obasanjo, Abdusalami, Atiku Abubakar, a former Nigeria’s Vice president and every other corrupt Nigerians named in the scandal. As Nigerians, we are interested in this case.”
Recently on his Facebook wall-page, Femi Adeshina, special aide to the president on media and publicity, said: “It would be a distraction for the President to begin digging into all former administrations, but for a proper take off of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, there is need to look into the immediate past government (Jonathan’s). We are interested in investigating Jonathan’s government to recover stolen funds”.
International Community watch in Disbelief

As at the time of going to the press, members of International Community, particularly the United States government is shocked that Buhari ought not to leave any stone unturned in fighting corruption no matter whose ox is gored. The Halliburton bribery scandal is seen by members of international community as a litmus test for Buhari to prove his desire effectively to combat corruption among the elites in Nigeria.
