That's not true. The executive still have the responsibility in communicating policies rules and laws to her citizens.
hmm I see your point but it's not policy yet, the legislators on your behalf can invite them for proper discussions. I doubt with current income, the legislators will be against this policy; perhaps this is standard practise everywhere

I hope the government also tax all those unregulated soft drinks and alcoholic drinks - Ministry of health needs better funding

Hopefully the National Assembly will not pass this into law.

This is one of my issue with with this government. Before presenting this kind of suffering impacting bill there should be a National discourse. The Minister should be on every major news outlet informing us on the merit of the Bill and why every Nigerians should queue up behind it.
That's what the legislators are there for. The executive presents a bill, the legislators(your representative) put forward argument for or against it and depending on your response they pass/edit or reject it- Shikena

TravelRe: Renewal Of Nigeria Passport , UK by DisGuy(mod): 9:07pm On Mar 26, 2016
Keep getting told they do it(renewal) within 7 days now, so I'm hopeful as i already bought tickets

I also notice OIS- the company doing BVN for Nigerian banks also do renewals and i'm certain they are a bit more professional-though they'll probably charge

@bebe2 I think you should follow it up, that's far too long. They probably have it sitting on their desk somewhere

CareerRe: Sacked Today For Being 'too Introverted', Unfair? by DisGuy:
Sorry about your situation, hopefully you will learn from it

Being at peace with your own thought works well at home and in your break time, but at work, you should try to be engaging; even if you don't like talking, make others talk the talk just keep asking them questions most especially about things they like or enjoy- make them talk about themselves nothing too deep- their phones, their cars, their expertise


Good luck

That's the problem with Nigeria- improvements are not sustained or consistent! one minute you are praising them, next minute curse upon curse
EducationRe: What I Saw When I Rechecked My JAMB Result by DisGuy: 10:52am On Mar 24, 2016
This Jamb issue is really destroying students future prospects

The head of jamb has been adamant, almost blaming students for the late text messages to relocate to another site for their exams,
for the PC switching off several times during exams


And i really dont get this idea of taking senators/politicians into examination halls in large numbers to see their set up- for goodness sake people are trying to write exams, you have 30-50 big bellied politicians and their aides walking around

Onila2:
I want to leave this country but not in a fraudulent way
You're smart!

it's terribly difficult to live a decent, stress free life in another country without the right documents and information- particularly if you're not naturally like that in Nigeria.

1. I don't want any dent of any kind on me or my documents, telling to go in as the mother first of all is against my principles of 'no fraud, no lies'
Gbam @Adazlolly

To begin a stress free life in countries in the west, you seriously need to guard against any dent in your name!! Your name is your brand and I.D everywhere you go! there are people that commit the smallest crimes during the teenage years who are being turned down for jobs in their 40s- remember they don't do paper records like Naija it's all computerised so it will never go missing like Buhari's certificate!

so student route or marriage

Car TalkRe: New FRSC Rule On Drivers License by DisGuy: 11:45am On Mar 20, 2016
This is a good development only if the driving schools are standard.

Seems one can get a drivers license as long as he's registered to a school not necessarily passing any rigorous driving test

And surely they can have more centres not just Abuja

PhonesRe: Samsung S7 And S7 Edge Price In Nigeria, Got Mine Today by DisGuy: 4:23pm On Mar 19, 2016
matrix199:
Even as my spending plan was put in percentage, some people stil can't reason out my point.

I said I can spend 50% and above on what I need, like a house, a good car, good investment, a healthy family, and a better society. I can only spend 10% of my cash assest(money in hand, and in the bank) on what I want.

Now do the logic and the maths. I said I have less than 2m in cash asset. What's 10% of 2m? 200k. Meaning I can't buy the S-7 since it's 235,000. Even if the phone sells for 200,000, and I got it, it wld later haunt me to see my loved ones struggle to meet up with their needs, and I'm there flaunting a 200,000 phone for fancy. That's the more reason why it's going to be hard for me to spend 200,000 on a phone, with what I have presently as cash asset.

I posted a personal spending plan, and I never said every1 shld take to my personal plan. Was that too hard to comprehend?!
What's hard to comprehend??

PERHAPS that fact YOU went on talking about YOUR financial philosophy, YOUR wants, YOUR ideas about you you, you absolutely sod all to do with the OP or the phone in the TOPIC

perhaps people were here to read/discuss the pros/cons of the phone/VR, alternatives, or other technologies out there ..but hey you've blessed us with your spending pattern
TravelRe: How Can I Verify The Legitimacy Of Travel Agents by DisGuy(mod): 1:27pm On Mar 19, 2016
What you can do is basically spend some time researching online, visit as many school website as possible and try to contact the schools directly if you see anything remotely similar, if not, chances are these agents are just trying to draw you in( might probably offers a different country and different course after paying them)- medicine is quite a niche course to offer scholarship for international students.

A quick look online, shows many are for those already admitted or those studying further in health/medical fields

londoner:
If you've booked your ticket take it with you so that you get a date to collect on time. Even though I applied and paid (6 weeks in advance)and had my renewal slot/ interview before travel ten days before they offered me my passport pick up date after my flight date so I showed them my ticket and VERY HUMBLY asked if I could have and earlier pick up date. They may start shouting at you but DO NOT get rude or shout back as they may refuse to help you. They changed my pickup date to the day before I was due to fly. I really think they have improved compared to other times I have used their services. There is still more to improve but I noticed a definite step in the right direction.
Wow many thanks, was just thinking of submitting a pre-paid self addressed envelop on the date as bebe2 suggested thinking I should get it within days
