If you browse through Nairaland, you will see a lot of threads asking the same question: "How can I track a number?"

Phase C: Performing Identity Verification Checks
1. In your open terminal terminal window, install the required global binary wrapper: npm install -g truecaller-cli
2. Execute the initialization handshake: truecaller-cli login
3. Provide your verification requirements when prompted by the utility interface.
4. Execute the targeted identity check request: truecaller-cli search --number +2349051234567

How can you be attempting to track an unknown caller, yet still pass the digits of a known number during the query --- truecaller-cli search --number +2349051234567

Where this number come from? +2349051234567

But how do these people reason? People who visit your country do so on valid Visas. If they overstay their visa and become illegal immigrants, how can you blame and charge their government money and you expect them to pay?

What kind of reasoning is that?

Can you teach a group of students on how to assemble lithium battery cells in a 1 week training in Lagos?

Who can teach how to build a lithium battery? I have a gig for you.

But why should a bank rely on third party server provisions? All banks ought to have their in-house servers and administrators. Banking is too sensitive to outsource you hosting services to a third party.

Talking about Vehicle safety...When we have danfo buses.

The danfo bus below has no hazard lights, No trafficator light, No side Mirror, Dangerous metal body, Wooden seats attached to metals that can rip your cloths off.

Yet the government is saying that e-hailing cars needs inspection, whereas the e-hailing companies actually have standards and run their own comprehensive inspections before enlisting you on their platform.

People, be the judge! Between the 2 vehicles below, which one needs to be inspected for safety?

Investors are mostly behind all these panic meetings and messages.


If the national grid was performing it's duty optimally, states wouldn't be so eager to have their own independent power bills.

The conclusion is that the federal government is scared of investors loosing money because every state would start providing adequate power and rake in all the profits instead.

This signals the true collapse of the national grid...

If a health worker dies on their way to work and get even get help from the same sector where they work, then that should make them more human and understand that no one is above death.

If you haven't been a victim, you won't know how negligent these people can be. They see death as nothing. They can watch you die and shout at you in the process, telling you to die, if you cannot swallow your medicine, forgetting that they are not also imune to it.

Anyway, RIP to the dead. The government needs to step up funding for the health sector.

That's where starlink comes into the picture.

The biker isn't crazy. He could be a professional biker. The problem is that there's no race track in the country that I know of, where bikers can go for practice.

Those currently on student loans should watch out. If you're in the higher institution and you applied for the student loan, just know that you won't be able to do some of the following things until you pay back:

1. Renew or apply for a new passport
2. Renew or get a new driver's license
3. Get a loan from any of the loan apps
4. Get a loan from any bank
5. Travel out of the country
6. E.t.c

Hello, OralB, I have been trying to reach out to you. I even sent you a nairaland mail and also tried reaching out on WhatsApp but your brother responded that he's the one currently using the WhatsApp line.
Please I'd like to learn somethings from you about the dispatch business in Lagos.
What's the best medium for us to have a little conversation?

I'm 36 years old and can't seem to find a Nigerian lady to marry around me in Delta state.
I'm thinking about embarking on a trip to one of these African countries. Maybe, luck might be on my side.
My last relationship was with an Igbo lady who was a first daughter. She was schooling and needed me to support her.

However, all she kept saying was how she wanted to build a house for her parents in the village and also take care of her family.

So I asked my self one question: Why should I spend my money to support you in Nursing school, (that your parents aren't able to) only for you to finish and spend your money on your family (Including her brothers) while I spend mine in running our home?
It just didn't make sense to me.

Wow
He fell from the 26 storey building, but no one is sure about the floor he fell from.

Meanwhile, falling from the building has to be through the window, which leaves one to suspect that it was either a deliberate fall or a forced one.

Only the man can tell the story behind the fall if he happens to survive. Sad!

The charges of commercial banks are just too high.
I have an account with Opay and they only charge NGN10 per transaction after the first 3 transfers in a day; then NGN50 for every 10,000.

But you see these commercial banks? They charge SMS alert fee, account maintenance fee, electronic money transfer levy, NIP transfer fee and any other thing they can think of.

My FCMB account charges close to 5k monthly for fees and levies (Even though I don't do up to 10 transactions). Meanwhile, Opay charges less than 2k monthly (Even though I do more than 100 transactions)

Visited her in her house and she asked me to help her take money in her handbag and left me in the room to get something. While searching for the money, i found a tablet in the bag never bothered to check the name not until I heard a loud voice in my head saying “check the name written on it” it was “POSTINOR” I thought she was using it to protect herself each time “WE” make love. I didn’t raise any alarm as an OG, I took the picture of the tablet as my own evidence which she had already taken 3 out of 10 tablets. I kept mute and pretended as if nothing happened. I left and visited again in 2weeks checked the bag again found the tablet and 1 was already missing. I challenge her for cheating and also having unprotected s€x till now she’s still in shock how I found out. she’s in my Dm begging for forgiveness I told her I can’t stand a cheating partner make person no carry d!sease or another man pikin give me for future.

Uncle... You can lie ooo. I thought postinor had only 2 tablets and 1 tablet variant?

These things are NORMAL on the highway. What it now means is that the police authority will ONLY act when there's a video evidence against erring officers.

In order words, if you own a car, you need to get either a dash Cam or a hidden camera in your car.
The best option though is to get a Meta Ray-Ban pair of eye glasses 🕶️

With this, you get can video evidence both in your car and outside the car.

Lastly, always make sure your videos are synchronized to your mobile device or the cloud in real-time to avoid detection and possible deletion.

Note: If you want a video evidence that can't be deleted easily, then use Snapchat app when making your videos. These girls have a reason for always using Snapchat for their videos. It's not just the filters, it's the insurance!

I can't blame Trump on this one. The EU is actually a tough place to do business.

Imagine trying to negotiate with about 30 countries over unfair trade practices. There's bound to be a lot of bottle necks.

Starting or registering a company in Europe is expensive, taxes are high, you also have customer data protection laws that your company can break without even realising and you will be fined heavily for it.

Ease of doing business is something else. It's probably Estonia and a handful of countries who are trying to break some of these barriers.

Yes, destiny are never the same. I actually didn't condemn your business, neither did I say that I didn't make something out of it when I did the business as a student. I only said that if you are business inclined, that there are better business with better prospects you would have done with that money, with peace of mind.

Transport business gave me my first real life business experience as an ambitious young boy, but after I finished my NYSC and relocated to Lagos, I always laugh whenever I remember my transport business days. I did it as a result of my limited business idea back then. I can't imagine myself doing such now.

Talking about having a manager, that is the basic aspect of the business na, except when the business owner is equally a driver himself. I see it as lazy people business, or people with no business idea.

About not knowing how much U are generating from the drivers, I don't know ur state, but it's almost impossible for you to recoup the money you invested on a motorcycle within 7 months, through a driver.

Wishing you all the best in your business

Chairman, abeg share this your business idea na. I need other cool businesses to invest in.

6k daily will amount to over 1 million in 7 months. I only buy engine oil and make repairs above 10k. The riders are responsible for repairs less than 10k.

Henix:
You can't give a proper review of transport business with 7 months experience. To start with, you are yet to recoup ur investment capital with that 7 months. Such short duration is equally not yet enough time to experience the full scale maintenance aspect of the business, what U are currently encountering in 7 months is minor maintenance. So ur review is inconsequential for now.

Meanwhile, I'm not outrightly condemning the business for you though, but make sure u are equal to the task. Being equal to the task means being ready for case, because it will be occurring once in a while. If you are business inclined, there are far better businesses you would have done with that money, with peace of mind, and grow it big. I'm talking from experience.

I did transport business through out my school days. I started with Okada business during my ss3 in secondary school and grew it to tricycle business before I graduated from university. I bought my 1st bus for motor business before l left for NYSC camp. Before I finished my NYSC, I still bought Golf-3 which I gave out for taxi. It was after my NYSC that I removed my hand from the business and moved to Lagos.

I wouldn't want to believe that u grabbed money from somewhere and rush to invest on bikes, probably because of what ur supposed manager must have told you. On a normal ground, you suppose to start with 1 or 2, and run it for a full one year before injecting more capital into the business, which would have enabled you to get proper feasibility study of the business.

Ensure you have a serious contact at police, because you will likely be needing it soon

While I appreciate your input, you should also know that there's something called Grace. The same business others will do and fail, some people will do it and succeed very well.

To your point, I have only visited the station once because police were demanding for the original copies of the bike papers.
Also, some riders have gotten involved in minor accidents, but that didn't stop the business from running. Like I said, I have my strategy and it's working very well.

My manager has a bunch of riders on standby to take over any bike once there's a default or any issue. For instance one biker was involved in an accident which prevented him from working for close to 2 weeks. But that didn't stop the bike from working as someone else took over.

Lastly, to your point about making back my capital, you don't even know how much the bikers remmit per day, so you are just assuming that I haven't gotten back my capital.

Funkybabee:
Good afternoon Nairalanders, I hope you all are doing good? Who can share their experience regarding Motorcycle and tricycle given to people to deliver.

I spoke with my mum and she said I shouldn't dare because Nigerians are wi¢ked in that kind of business while speaking to someone today, that one emphasize a lots on it, which is why I decided to come here to hear people experience about it

Can you share your experience when given out a bicycle or even car to deliver money daily but turned sour?

Bike or keke business is good. I'm personally invested in such business. I have almost 10 bikes under my management and they all remit money on a daily basis.
I've been on it for close to 7 months now with less than 2 days of default.

I don't deal with the bike riders myself, instead I employed a manager who is very strict with them.

Any day you default, the bike will be taken from you. In a nutshell, I have my strategy and it's been working for about 7 months now.

High blood pressure should have no business with young people.

When you put yourself through so much peer pressure, this is the result.

I'm confused. Do modern ships still use sails? How much more a navy ship? That's too outdated for a country's Navy team.

I am beginning to think that Israel allowed the last attack to happen, so that they would have a very strong reason to continue their strikes.

It's like a child who wants to cry but just need a little motivation from an unfortunate person.

Wow
The group declared a dividend of $1.6 billion to its owner, the Investment Corporation of Dubai, ICD.

That's a lot of return on investment

Well, many musicians who are not signed into a record label or have rich relatives are usually desperate to push their music career.

They end up either doing fraud to raise money or selling a valuable family possession.

Once the money is gone with nothing to show for their music, they are not different from drug addicts. This makes them feel depressed and more desperate with raising another round of cash.

At the end of the day, they might abandon music and focus on what gives them money, then come back to music after they've accumulated some ill-gotten funds, to disguise with music as the source of their money.

I guess it's more like a Thanksgiving for being qualified to be called a "Former governorship aspirant".

Nice gesture, although I would like to point something out. The fact that you said 50% of Nigerians are Muslims does not automatically translate to 50% of your active forum users/visitors being Muslims.

This is a good initiative. I once saw a dead person driving and wondered how they would be able to hear the horn of a vehicle behind them. At least a special number plate will make the drive behind know that they need to overtake with caution.

I keep wondering if this port is effective. Someone I know has been thinking about starting car importation business, but doesn't want to use Lagos port.
Is this One port effective enough to bring in cars from the USA? What about the clearing process, it is also effective?

All these incidents can be drastically reduced only if a legislation can be made, mandating trucks to ply the road only at night. Especially fuel tankers, they should only move between the hours of 7pm and 6am.
