This is very interesting but maybe Coca Cola has refused to settle the AG's office. It is rare to see the AG concerning himself about serious issues like this. Mtn and other foreign companies keep ripping us off everyday and despite the tons of complaints the AG's office never even bats an eyelid. This case will never lead anywhere...they will settle it behind the scenes as usual while the consumers are literally hung out to dry. smh

Even when some of our leaders are trying to get things right, those who condem the wrongful act of other leaders will come and say something like this(above). This act can be a steping stone.

Him no need to run. If him walk or crowl him go still win.

Nope. Ara as in "wonder" just like Brymo's "Ara nbe"

In fact in Yoruba there's different meanings for the word "ara" depending on the inflection/intonation. Examples are:

Ara - wonders
Ara - body
Ara - thunder
A ra - we bought
A ra - (sentence) we bought it
A ra - (sentence) we rubbed it

Ara - mad
Ara - Breast

Eeeyaa... So sorry.

2015 election is fast approaching and it baffles me how people are already chanting PDP, APC and others even though no party has declared anybody their flag bearer. What is the rationale behind our vote? or what should we look at, before we cast our vote? Will it be based on the political party or the flag bearer of the party?

God bless you all. I am happy i was able to get some vital reply without front page.

Thanks all. 3 days goon.

I have this issue, though not direct, and mailed cardservices@gtbank.com the following:

I sent money to a friend's account yesterday morning, 8th oct, 2014, to help pay acceptance fee for my younger sister. She went to the ATM machine, somewhere in Imo state to withdraw the money. The amount was charged in her account, but the ATM machine did not dispense any money.
Please how can you be of help, as this acceptance fee needs to be paid urgently.
Her account details is:
Account name: Ekegbu Naomi C.
Account number: 0110043134
Amount paid is N22,000
Please help out.

Thanks.


It happens that Ekegbu Naomi has filled a form with gtbank in owerri before i sent the above mail, but i still got the following reply from GTBank:


Dear EKEGBU NAOMI,

We acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail and empathize with you on the subject dispense error
 
Please be informed that the claim has been logged against the acquirer and this should be resolved within 8 days if not declined
 
We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause you.
 
Thank you for your continued patronage

Olayinka Adams



Now, Naomi is in Lagos, i wonder what that will mean to my N22,000.

The acceptance fee has been paid now, because i sent another money to her and worn her not to withdraw using atm machine.


I believe many of us must have experienced same. Have we done the right thing? What else should we do? And please share your experience with us here, while we wait for 8 days to complete,it will help.

Thanks.

Hello Landers, what's your best-ever Nigerian/Nollywood Movie?
Mine is Oleku by Tunde Kelani...its a very old movie but its my #1 Nigerian movie.. very interesting film featured great Tafa Tomilola of university of ife, Shina peter, simply saka/i don port(Afis Oyetoro), Lere Paimo and so many other great artistes. I have the part one and two, downloaded it from youtube by the help of a pc software, YTD Video downloader.

The movie, Oleku is an adaptation of Prof. Akinwunmi Ishola’s novel of the same name.  Oleku was released by Mainframe Film and Television Productions in 1997.  The movie tells the story of Ajani, a final year student of the University of Ibadan who is in search of a life partner due to pressures from his mother.  He soon finds himself in a quandary as he becomes involved with three beautiful women- ASAKE, his beautiful old time girl friend who has just finished sixth form and teaches in a school in town; LOLA, a pretty, tall, slim and dark first year student he just met; and finally SADE, a childhood acquaintance who gradually and fortuitously gets promoted to the centre stage of the love drama.

The movie was set in the 1970s, as such, every element reflects just that.  Hence, the old vehicles, buildings, costumes, hair-dos and props.  In the movie, all the characters are dressed in the old attires that were worn in the period the story represents.  During the period of its public release and for some years after, Oleku sparked a fashion revolution in Nigeria particularly with the short Iro and Buba which people began to call Oleku.

What's your best-ever or ever green Nigerian/Nollywood Movie?

Tortoise, starring Okey Bakassi, John Okafor and Charles Ehiocha

Yes it is. Kudos to Oshiomhole.

Fresh reports say that Boko Haram group has
finally agreed to free all the Chibok girls for 18
sect commanders currently in detention.

It would be recalled that less than two weeks ago it
was reported that the insurgents had agreed to
release only 30 female students abducted in April
in exchange for 18 key group members. The
decision was allegedly made after the Nigerian
authorities had held secret talks with one of Boko
Haram seniors identified as Umar
.
This Saturday it was gathered that the International
Committee of the Red Cross and the Nigerian
government were holding long-time negotiations
on the issue
.
Finally, according to the Nation, the agreement on
219 girls release was reached.
It has been reported that the two parties asked
their representatives to go back to their leaders to
discuss the new conditions.

They are fighting for pride, not front site. Na so I see am o. But who stays there first should be there. My opinion.

Try this brain teaser question :

A teacher said to one of his students, "how I wish yesterday was tomorrow, today would have been Friday".

On what day did the teacher make
this statement? Please support your answer with explanation.

20-year old Hanniel Jamin who won the Miss
Universe Ghana title in 2013 at 19, is suing the
organizers – Roberta Annan Consulting (RAC) for
breach of contract.
Hanniel and RAC presented their cases at a
Ghanaian court on Thursday 17th April 2014.
Hanniel was to receive a New York Film Academy
scholarship, a GH¢5,000 wardrobe allowance, a
management and public relations deal, monthly
fees, a year’s gym membership and a trip to the
world event – which took place in Russia.
Although Hanniel, who is half-Nigerian (her mom),
represented her country at the beauty competition,
she says she still hasn’t received the other
packages.
A source in Ghana, tells BN that Hanniel was asked
to sign a document under duress that she has
received her packages, just before leaving Ghana
for Russia. She had no witness or lawyer at the
signing and her passport was allegedly seized.
The source also states that the 2012 winner also
took the organizers to court on the same issue.

Is this picture indicating something?

To make a movie, the procedures includes:
1. Script writing
2.Selecting actors and actresses to star in the movie
3.Selection of settings, etc

To go through all this procedure will normally last at least a year.

But here, it is evident that movie can be done within two months.

I wonder what the fate of Nigeria and other african country's fans would have been if the Ebola outbreak happens weeks or at least a month before world cup... What do you think?

pasqal09: You felt like crying cos a girl refused to shake you?

ehhe.. oya fire me... I know. oya o.

I stretch my hand towards a lady some day, with the intension to shake hands, but she did what we call, "falling hand" to me in public by not shaking hands with me and she says to me, "i don't shake". It was a bad experience that i felt like crying.

Have i done the wrong thing?
Has she done the wrong thing?
Who is wrong between i and her?
I wondered.

Ladies, is there any reason why you don't shake, especially guys?

How would you have prefer we guys to exchange pleasantries with you?

Do you prefer hug?

The former world heavyweight champion, who
himself once infamously bit an opponent in the
boxing ring, has defended the Uruguay striker for
his actions at the World Cup
Mike Tyson has leapt to the defence of Luis Suarez
following the Uruguay striker's bite on Giorgio
Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.
Suarez was handed a four-month worldwide ban
by Fifa after biting the defender during Uruguay's
Group D clash with Italy a fortnight ago.
But former world heavyweight boxing champion
Tyson, who himself once infamously chewed off
part of the ear of Evander Holyfield during a title
fight, has empathised with the Liverpool striker.
"Suarez's bite? I understand it. It was a blackout
moment which can happen at times," Tyson replied
during a Q&A on social networking service Reddit .
"It was just one moment in which the competition
can make the blood in your veins boil and it
overpowers your rationality.
"Sometimes you become something that you are
not."
Tyson is regarded as one of the greatest
heavyweight boxers in history, and still holds the
record as the sport's youngest ever champion in
his weight category at the age of 20 years and
eight months.
Suarez, who also incurred a nine-game ban from
international matches as a result of the third biting
incident of his career, is believed to be closing in
on a transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona, despite
his suspension from footballing activity.

planned meeting
between officials of the
Lagos State Government
and a Lebanese manager
with Toppan Printing
Company, Kaveh Noine,
who allegedly kicked his
seven-month pregnant
subordinate, Mrs.
Alexandra Ossai, in her
stomach was shelved
after Noine refused to
show up.
Noine was arrested by
the Lagos State Police
Command a few days
after The PUNCH reported
that Ossai had allegedly
lost her baby due to the
kick. She allegedly began
bleeding in the early
hours of December 16,
2013 and had an
emergency surgery
performed on her at the
Mercy Hospital Fagba, to
remove the dead foetus.
An invitation had been
extended to Noine on
Tuesday, when a team of
state government
officials, led by the
Director of the Office of
the Public Defender,
Mrs.Omotola Rotimi, paid
a visit to the company,
located off Adeniyi Jones
Avenue, Ikeja.
At the Thursday meeting
which was held at the
Ministry of Women Affairs
and Poverty Alleviation,
an unidentified employee
of Toppan showed up
instead of Noine and
presented a letter
explaining Noine’s
absence.
Those present at the
meeting, which was
chaired by Rotimi,
included Ossai’s lawyer,
Mr. Courage Erhuen,
representatives of the
OPD, WAPA, the Lagos
State Environmental
Protection Agency and
Public Relations Officer of
the Lagos State Public
Advice Centre, Mr. Alex
Omorondion.
The letter, which was said
to have been written by
Toppan’s counsel, Mr.
Toyin Pinhero, asked that
the meeting be
postponed till January 16,
2014, to enable Pinhero
attend the meeting as he
was reportedly out of the
country at the moment.
Rotimi, in her response to
the letter said, “We did
not invite Toppan as a
company to come for this
meeting; the allegation is
against an individual,
Noine, and not Toppan.
Noine could still have
attended this meeting
because he is in Nigeria;
he is on bail. Even if there
is no representative of
Toppan here, Noine
should have honoured
the invitation.”
The OPD director then
informed the unidentified
employee from Toppan
that the meeting would
be rescheduled to a time
that would be convenient
for everyone present.

DonColz1: Happy New Year Mr President.

But your report card are as follows:
* Promises - A1
* Project delivery - F9

lwkmd! With due respect, i guess you are not a good person. Lol.

Zanxx: please lets criticise constructively. The lady said its local and thats her opinion. she didnt insult or curse anyone till she was called a goat. the same person who called her a goat told another person to shot their green teeth( whatever that means). ella did wrong by cursing but the one who insulted her first should also be called out. only one person pointed out the goat insult and advised accordingly. dont make out one to be an angel and the other the devil.

thats why i dont like contributing the little i can in nairaland because as much as I know dat we hav brilliant and inteligent people here, wit due respect, we still hav people wit low sense of reasoning, and dey must show demselves. u give ur personal opinion and get replies like, "u r an idiot", "u illiterate", "u r brainless" etc, just as d case here.
