CrimeRe: Umar Ardo: I Paid $15,000 In Bitcoin To My Daughter’s Kidnappers by Cocao(f): 11:58am On Sep 17, 2019
GavelSlam:
Government should make it illegal for cryptocurrency to be used in any form in Nigeria.

Should it be found on your person it should be immediate jailing.

I know sole slowpokes would come here to talk nonsense.

Nigeria is not a technological/advanced society and even many advanced countries are yet to accept it.

In addition, criminal actions are rife across the country. Unlike any other nation.

In fact, the youth embrace it with impunity and bravado.

We must outlaw cryptocurrency.
You cannot stop cyrptocurrency movement. You cannot.

Hello everyone

I'm new here and I'd like to be informed on the processes involved as regards becoming an international student.

How is it done please?
Basically, you search for the schools you want to apply, check if you reach their admission requirements, if you do, follow their application guide and apply. On the side, you can check for other things depending on what you want, such as faculty, deadlines, requirements for international students, state, fees. It can all be found on the school website.

When granted admission, then you request for your i20, pay your SEVIS and visa interview fees, do your interview and japa.

VISA denied on the 29th of August.
Lagos Consulate
VO: Window 4 (a blonde white woman in her early thirties)

My transcript went like this.

Although my school already resumed on the 19th and classes started this Monday - this was the first thing the man at the passport verification point noted. However the VO never made mention of it during the interview. I was certain I was denied because of the late resumption. But is it possible the VO didn't even notice it and denied me for another reason?
I don't think you were denied because of late resumption, the V.O never even mentioned this. And if your transcript is as you wrote it, I think you did well. I am no expert at this but I'll say you should get an extension letter from your school and fire again, or just postpone till Spring if that is allowed.
BusinessRe: How I Recieved An Instant Loan Of Over N1m Without Going To The Bank by Cocao(f): 11:09am On Aug 29, 2019

You got it wrong. I didn't say its stupidity that they gave me loan, I said I wanted to laugh at their stupidity when the short code they send didn't work but I was shocked when it did. Of course I know I will pay back their loan.
And they took out their interest immediately the loan was approved so I didn't get the exact 350k. I only got 336k
Okay I get now. Sorry for the initial misunderstanding

Kelvin30286063:
Yes they now offer loans like that due to BVN validity.
I recently got the same kind of message from my bank (ACCESS BANK) and on dialing the number, I got a loan of 350k just like that. The loan came in within 5 minutes and I was shocked. The funny part is, I didn't even need the loan, I just wanted to try the fast code and laugh at their stupidity later. cheesy
You think its stupidity, make no mistake, every single money will be recovered. Including profit.

Make no mistake whatsoever
BusinessRe: How I Recieved An Instant Loan Of Over N1m Without Going To The Bank by Cocao(f): 10:41am On Aug 29, 2019
Accountability and ease of data collation is the reason banks can give you money without plenty of fears.

With your BVN, all other accounts linked to you in the bank and in other banks can be traced. Literally speaking, you, as an individual cannot go anywhere if the bank wants to find you. Your BVN can be reported for fraud, and it will be flagged. If you enter a bank to make a transaction, it will pop up. You can only run if you don't intend to use any bank in Nigeria again.

So banks are thinking, who would want to go through all that stress for 1 million naira?
CareerRe: Massive Job Loss Looms In The Banking Sector by Cocao(f):
Technology can only thrive where there is an enabling environment for it to grow.

Take for example, the introduction of the deposit ATM, it was supposed to take the burden off the banking halls and reduce crowds. But there are a lot of challenges with this, from machine design to the fact that a lot of Nigerians don't even trust the machines. Worse sef, majority of Nigerians can't read and have zero patience to use it. So those machines just lie there not even fulfilling up to a quarter of their projections.

This applies to everywhere. Nobody is loosing any jobs anytime soon because of reasons mentioned in the post. A little bit of downsizing, probably but until we get the environment right, not much will change

What do you mean by battle? he is enlightening us about women, even if i will still chase them atleast i'd know what am dealing with and thats the point.

By men need women you for sex right? cause that's the only thing women have that men dont have.
Hey relax. I am very much on your side. I have always been for more enlightened men all my life. But I have seen very vastly traveled, very educated men still lose their minds over superficial girls. You'd think they should know better right?

It has led to the conclusion that this thing is very spiritual in nature and cannot be altered

Men,

This battle you "think" you are fighting, you can't win it.

Men NEED women regardless of what is written here. Just fall in the hands of a genuine woman and you will be fine.

They will finish reading and still go back. You can't help it. I am so sorry. Just fall in the hands of someone worth it.

That you need advice before you know what to do is appalling.

There are some situations that should instantly scream red on your moral radar. Those situations usually warrant that you advise yourself immediately.

ubunja:

We're saying the same thing but in different words. I agree men need their women needy and whiny. It's the Male Ego. Men have not been taught how to deal with a Damsel that's not in Distress.
There was an experiment I recently carried out related to this topic and could probably be helpful as well but I cannot post it here because it is really personal to me.

Do you mind if I PM you?
RomanceRe: UBUNJA's MISEDUCATION: How Women Gold Dig You. by Cocao(f): 11:20am On Aug 01, 2019
Y'all dont understand.

Men love to be used. They prefer for ladies to be dramatic like this. They love to have their females needy and whiny, else they'd think something is ultimately wrong with you.

If you show them a girl that behaves the opposite, they no go gree. They will say she's too independent or worse case boring.


Not all though but most.

Until men learn to dissociate beauty and sexual appeal from sense and act accordingly, they will continue to be carried away.

See them on front page shouting sense will not kill you. But tomorrow they are back to business as usual.

Men sef grin grin grin

We are wired to want different things that we cannot offer ourselves. That is why marriage is a game of compliments.

TravelRe: What’s The Best Way To Get Out Of Nigeria, And should I Leave Nigeria or not? by Cocao(f): 9:38am On Jul 09, 2019
If you want to travel abroad and live in relative peace, by all means do so legally. Woe betides you if you "trick" the system and think you can make something out of it.

Some people do not want too much in life. They just want an economy that is stable, organized and where one can access the basic needs of life without toiling inhumanely for such. That is what pushes people abroad most times. But to enjoy yourself and your stay, be as legal as possible!

Reminds me of the protagonist from one of John Grisham's novels. His nine-year-old daughter was raped by two men. If you see the way he killed them, planned the murder, got a special gun and was prepared to go to jail. I was in tears.

To think rationally in this kind of situation ehn...
I love John Grisham!

People are quick to preach realism and practicality. At the end of the day, it isn't what it seem smiley

willibounce1:
Were you there? So if they go to court and present you to witness you will open your mouth and say it is true because you know her to be private and family oriented person? That's the evidence you have against accusing someone of rape after many years? You people always think everything is about sentiments and emotions.
If someone wakes up one morning and accuse you of raping her 6 years ago without any evidence and people begin to condemn you even when you are innocent , how will you feel.
The only thing ya'll need is to prove that he is guilty and that's only possible by presenting solid evidences not just mere emotional gibberish.
Ok. Duly noted.

I'm not a woman so I don't know how it feels but one thing I know is that it is very awkward for you to be raped twice and then kept mum over it.

Sometimes we call it rape but it may not be.

Why did she not shout to attract people that he did it mode than once.

I'm a practical thinker and I'm not holding brief for fatoyinbo but I hate all these seemingly hypocrisy from many ladies who will consent to sex and latter tag it rape.
You know how I know: Busola Dakolo has been a very private and family oriented person all along. Then I put myself, as an 18 year old in her shoes, I probably will not be able to process and say anything at that point.

Yes, there are ladies that claim rape when it was consensual sex, but this is one most probably is not that case. Practical thinking should have told you that.

Like I said earlier, may someone close to you that young in life never experience such, because if they do, all these "practical thinking" will fly fast out of the window.

If this man is guilty, someone please put him behind bars. Enough with it!

Toks2008:
I totally agree but let he that is without sin cast the first stone...

YES he may be guilty but let's cut him some slack n be real...HE IS HUMAN.

All I expect from him is to hold up and apologize if the accusation is true and if he denies then let them present a proof.

No sentiments.
Let he without sin cast the first stone? Oga please use another saying as this one is not applicable.

IT IS NOT APPLICABLE TO RAPE. Do you understand the effects of rape to a child as young and innocent as that? Rape can lead to a whole lot of physical and mental instability and that is why rape is a criminal activity.

What he did is not something an apology will suffice for. It is criminal and should be treated as such.

Saying this: Let he without sin cast the first stone, means that you think it is trivial and for that may someone close to you never experience something like this

This is a criminal offe
