OAM4J:
Even though I didn't move the thread, I would have moved it all the same if i had seen it first because the thread actually belongs to money section. But your thread has already been given maximum publicity by listing ii on the home page. So relax.

All right, even though you didn't move the thread, I forgive you.

Really?
I find it absurd that they have to charge customer for the ''token'' or whatever its called.

I currently have a savings account with FCMB which i have not withdrawn from for close to 3years, yet i get monthly emails notifying me of my account balance, and i get charged witholding tax and sms alert (i have not used my naija mobile in ages). Why should i be charged ''withholding tax'' on a bloody savings account. 

I do recall that UBA customers incur a charge for withdrawing money from any branch of UBA other than the branch where the account is domiciled (i'm not sure if the bank still does this though). I will go mental if Lloyds was to charge me for withdrawing money at Bournemouth even though the account was originally opened at edinburgh. These are issues that Sanusi should look into rather than trying to act like the Voltron of the banking sector which he's obviously not

The over-charging is nauseating. They find so many hitherto unknown headers to put the charges under, it's just surreal. A bank once charged me "counting fee" of about £700 for counting roughly N40m, that I was paying into my account with them!!! I just closed the account. They begged and begged, but I wasn't having it. I just wish more Nigerians would actually punish these banks by moving their money.

On the Voltron thing, Sanusi will vex o!! He REALLY does think he's the Defender of the Faith, an Islamic Voltron of sorts.

It had to take a true Ijebu woman to knock some sense into your porous brains:

funkybaby:
OP, please which  bank is this?

And what is the customer to do if one requires to withdraw more than 100k? Give the bank 2weeks notice? 


it amazes me when we try to copy how things work in US or UK forgetting that their economy and level of development is way different from ours.

it might sound like a good initiative on sanusi's part but in my own opinion, the timing is wrong.

a country where power supply is epileptic. . . . i have had experiences of trying to withdraw money from an ATM machine only to discover that the machine has been powered off because there is no electricity in the premises.

what about the reoccurring issue of customers' accounts being debited with no cash dispensed at the ATM

a country where internet service is still below par. . . . . how can one rely on the internet for 'e-banking'

how many banks realistically operate intra-bank transfers in Nigeria without having to visit the banking hall. To the best of my knowlege, it is only GTB that currently provides that service and you need a ''token'' which is used to generate a unique number and bear in mind that you have to pay for the token. With all their noise about 'telephone banking', you cannot do an intrabank transfer by calling the GTCONNECT line without the ''token''.

there are other areas that sanusi should focus on such as outrageous/hidden bank charges, interest rates, loans to SMEs, exchange rate of the naira to other currencies, etc

@ Funkybabe, it's GTB o jare!

It's like there are a lot of stupid Nigerian bankers awake on Nairaland today.

First off, I meant to say, as I explained in my original post, that I will no longer keep my money in Nigerian banks. There are at least two non-Nigerian banks in Nigeria, and if they fumble, well, there is always offshore banking with any of the UK banks, and since Sanusi insists, despite the obvious IT infrastructure deficit (system upgrade, anyone), on "e-banking", repeating over and over again like some new word he just learnt, there's always VISA.

As to the issue of over-the-counter withdrawal limits in the UK, THERE IS NO SUCH THING. The only requirement is that if you're withdrawing a large amount, you give your bank a week's heads-up, and you can withdraw your money, no charge.

Nigerian banks behave as if they're doing you a favour by trading with your money, and they overcharge for their yeye services. Most of their staff have no product knowledge and can't even advise their customers properly on their own products. They come across as so stupid and ill-informed.

As if all that was not bad enough, along comes the Sharia Banker, who has now got "e-banking" on the brain like a clot, whereas he's simply using that to achieve his ill-disguised agenda of killing the Southern banks. Some of the buffoons defending him here are southerners too. How pathetic is that A man is sticking it to you, in your very before, and all you can do is hail him No wonder y'all are treated like slaves. It's really hard to pity Nigerians sometimes.

To those who want to know what I'm worth, what does it matter to you I feel strongly enough about limitations on the amount of my own money, that I worked for, that I can actually withdraw daily. If you don't, good luck to you. It sure as hell feel a lot like slavery to me!

And to those that say it is illegal to carry any amount of money into the US, your ignorance is just annoying! You can carry ANY AMOUNT of cash into the US, as long as you declare it. Declaration has some conditions, including proving where you're bringing the money from is a legitimate source, and telling them what you wish to use it for in the US, plus of course, you must give the address you're going to be staying at while there.

IGNORANCE IS A TERRIBLE THING, and this thread has taught me that quite a number of Nigerians who appear knowledgeable from their other posts, are actually quite ignorant. Yet, they will open their big mouths and start forming, gboa gboa!!

Sanusi is clearly a politician, making political waves instead of financial ones. My decision is a political one, therefore my thread is political. Abeg restore am to politics o! This is serious over-policing of Nairaland, tantamount to setting up a police state in the real world. Ahn ahnnn!!! Na wetin?

I still visited the US in 2010 from the UK with $50,000 cash in my hand. Of course, I withdrew it from my Barclays account, changed some of it in the branch, and the rest at High Street Bureaux de Change like Travelex.

That's what I was trying to tell the brainless pauper, oloriwerepe, before he started pissing all over my thread.

Jakumo:
It is actually a criminal offence to carry more than ten thousand US dollars cash into the United States, PARTICULARLY if that cash is NOT listed on the customs' declaration sheet that is handed out to airline passengers shortly before landing in their first airport of call in North American territory.

Assuming that the above claim is not bogus, consider yourself VERY lucky indeed, that Mr.Customs man did not spot your cash stash and hand you over to the IRS for a friendly chat, followed by a swift trial and some slammer time for currency smuggling.

Jakumo, I'm glad you included the caveat in bold. Of course you must declare the cash, and I did. It's only when I'm entering Nigeria that I don't declare any cash, mek awon boys no go waylay persin for road!!

werepeLeri:
Two things are possible here. You and your entire family have never had up to £1200 in the bank in the UK, hence you do not have a reason to know there is a limit on the amount you can withdraw from your bank in cash from the UK- I know because I bank with Bank of Scotland/Halifax and I have multiples of that amount in the bank - LOL - so I excuse your ignorance.

Two - you don't live in the UK, hence you are local to Nigeria and know nothing about banking system elsewhere.

LOL.

Name calling is your characteristics, so, keep calling people names, it is a sign of your demented brain.

LOL

werepeLeri:
Even in developed countries, example in the UK- if you like have billions in your account - the maximum you can withdraw over the counter per day is £1200, and from an ATM - £300:00. If you want more than 1200 pounds in a day, you have to tell the bank on time and they will book you in for a day to come- so, what are the bush people in Nigeria shouting about?

You want to be like the developed countries, yet you dont want to do like they do.

OP - if you like bury your money inside the toilet, noone cares. You need to chill and think right before you call another person names.

I have thought about it and you're a compound fool. You really must have a serious case of werepe on the brain.

Who told you that there is a withdrawal limit of £1,200 in the UK From the ATM, maybe, but no limits from your account, mate!

Since you're talking about "developed countries", why doesn't your oga copy the good things from those places After all, for instance, banks in the UK are required to publish ALL their charges and fees for the benefit of their customers. We see no such thing here. During Soludo's time, they started doing it, because the Central Bank forced them to, and monitored their compliance. Sanusi doesn't care about such trivial details. Islamic Banking is all that's been on his mind, along with killing the Southern Banks.

There are no Cash Withdrawal Limits, as far as I'm aware. The only requirement some banks have is you have to book cash withdrawals if they're over a certain amount. There are no penalties or charges for this.

You think everybody is as mumufied as you are, never having been to "developed countries"! Chai! Illiteracy is a terrible thing. Ignorance is even worse.

I received a strange email from a Nigerian bank today, indicating that

1. I would no longer be able to withdraw more than N100,000 per day of my own money, from my own account

2. I cannot spend more than N500,000 on my card at a time - Sanusi's interpretation of e-banking

3. I cannot spend more than N500,000 per day online - more of Sanusi the Stupid's e-banking

If this is the situation, I'm transferring all my funds abroad, and will start using foreign debit card for my transactions.

Sanusi wants to preside over the death of the banking industry in Nigeria? I'll help him, but he should be ready for the violent upheaval that this is sure to start. I hope he and his co sharia compliant collaborators are ready for the coming firestorm.

Gworo Chewing, Qur'an bashing buffoons.

edicolove:
Honestly, though, i can understand IBB's anger. IBB has only had one thing going for him. that is the ability to look unpredictable and mysterious. OBJ has demystified him and he is not happy at all and will not forgive OBJ for that. I have always said that, like him or hate him, OBj is the most powerful man in Nigeria. IBB has just proven me right. A powerful man does not talk much, that is why you saw OBJ's answer was brief and sharp. IBB's response is once again very verbous. Like a man trying to explain himself and I think it is a sign of weakness. I think the yorubas who are fighting OBJ are not wise. they should have found a way to use him to their advantage. The Niger Delta region is turning out to be the biggest beneficiary of his influence and it will really show in a few years time from now.

Their stupidity is mind-boggling. The man had effectively handed Nigeria back to the South on a plate by the time he was leaving in 2007. Yes, Yar'Adua did a lot to reverse the gains, but he had collaborators like Bode George and all the Obasanjo enemies to help him identify how to do it successfully. It's a shame that that generation of Yoruba leaders lacked the insight, foresight and wisdom to use Obasanjo's 8 years to the maximum. Nigeria would be more successful now, if they had.

When they're Obasanjo's enemies, watch them closely. It's usually because he has prevented them from executing some selfish agenda; either to steal our public funds, or to take undue advantage of their positions, or to return to the helm of power, having desecrated it in the past.

I always thought Babangida was a bit of an airhead, but he's just gone and over-reached himself this time. He thinks Obasanjo is weak enough for him to strike now, but he's so wrong.

He's the one with a dodgy medical history. He's the one with the least number of loyalists in today's military (most middle to senior level officers bar the Brigade commanders are Obj boys). He's outgunned on all sides because none of their retired colleagues actually TRUST him, whereas they obey Obj without even pausing to think.

Finally, Obj has all but dismantled the old monolithic "North" that he would have relied on to stupefy everyone into petrified silence in the past. Bombing has failed ("Boko Haram" is in a corner and nearly caged), his old friend Gaddafi is fighting for his life, & the Israelis now see him as a liability. The Inernational Community revere OBJ, and see IBB's rantings as the final gambit of one of the sponsors of international terrrorism.

He's fighting a lost battle against the last person he should confront. IBB is finished. Mark my words.

Just saw this on facebook:

I no talk am Quick quick, dem come post under another name, but we know who's paying you for this job. Like I've always said to your other usernames:

May a thousand times the grief, strife, sorrow, blood and tears that have been the lot of ordinary Lagosians for the last 12 years be the portion of anyone who is stealing Lagos State funds "legally" or illegally. The same shall be the portion of ALL who benefit, directly or indirectly from that looting. So, if you're being paid by any of those looters or their agents, Bola Tinubu o, Fashola o, Muiz Banire o, Opeyemi Bamidele o, Dele Alake o, or anybody from the ACN criminal organisation, sorrow shall be your portion forever in Jesus Mighty Name. If they give you land, you will not have peace on it. If you use the money to buy a car, you will get sorrow from it. If you use it to educate your children, you will not eat of their fruit. If you use it to marry, there shall be no peace or progress in your home. Your wife will become your husband. If you are a woman, grief shall follow you every where, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Of course, if you're not eating out of the resources of Lagos to post here, none of these curses shall apply to you or yours.

I see the liars are still paralysed.

Eko-Ile has not re-posted his recycled pictures of Fashola's "achievements", supported with a few choice expletives.

Seanet02 has not rained his usual tired cuss-words and mindless area-boyisms down on us.

What on earth is wrong with this people

I will make sure they don't get paid for work they haven't done. Yeye. Mscheeewwww!!

Have you paid your tassssss? I paaaayyyyy oooooo!!



This is for the mumus who collected money to vote for ACN during the elections. You were all warned that the money would be collected back from you within weeks. Have they not collected it back?

Shameless people are now complaining. Oh, you forgot about the levies and charges and multiple taxes because of Ashafa Rice, Remi Tinubu Credit, and Fashola's cash, abi?

Well, here's to the nice ass kicking you're all getting now. In 2015, vote ACN again jare, and continue your suffer-head. Ignorant fools.

Has he "urged" Lagos State government to prosecute Bola Ahmed Tinubu, real names Yekini Amoda Ogunlere, for privatising into his personal pocket, the following:

3. Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Mortuary

http://sanishaaban.com/news/sambo/heritage/namadi-origin.htm#nmd

For the first time in Nigeria’s history, we are faced with a situation where there is disquiet about the true origins of a public official in the capacity of a Vice President. While the circumstances of our birth are a matter of destiny, it is an act of providence one should accept with pride and humility. It is no longer a secret that Namadi Sambo, the newly appointed Nigerian Vice President is been rumoured not to be from Kaduna State after all. The Nigerian constitution is clear in enshrining individual rights and freedoms of domicile, association etc. which no one picks issues with. Delving into issues of where an elected official originates from however does not constitute an affront on the constitution but lies at the core of issues of trust that the mandate the electorate gives it elected representatives demands.
A nagging question that has kept creeping up over the years since Namadi became governor of Kaduna State is that of where in Nigeria he truly comes from?
The writer’s attention was drawn to an article that appeared in the The Nation newspaper of Saturday, 22nd May 2010 under the caption, “Namadi Unveiled” by one Tony Akowe. This piece again brought to the front burner of public discourse the debate surrounding Namadi’s origin, a situation which neither Namadi himself nor his mentors that imposed him on the people of Kaduna State have done little to help diffuse.
According to Tony in that write up, Sambo “…was born in Zaria, but there is controversy over his actual state of origin. While some claim that his father hailed from Bauchi State, others said he came from Edo State, but settled in Zaria where he married his (Sambo’s) mother.”
The speculation that Namadi’s roots is from Edo State or thereabouts appears to be a firmly held conviction in many quarters of Kaduna State. Others have gone further to insinuate that the name[b] ‘Namadi’ appears a deliberate contraption, an attempt at the hausanization of the name ‘Nnamdi’ [/b] which might have been his original name from birth. These connections may not be entirely far-fetched and implausible as there is anecdotal evidence that could be advanced to support the conjecture that Sambo’s roots could indeed be solidly rooted from outside Northern Nigeria.
For those that are familiar with the colonial urban policy as it relates to the settlement patterns in Northern Nigerian cities like Zaria, the walled city proper was where the original inhabitants resided. The Tudun Wada settlement was for other Muslims coming from the environs of Zaria and the rest of Northern Nigeria. Sabon Gari on the other hand was developed to accommodate the retinue of workers that came with the colonial administration most of whom where non-Muslim and largely from the southern part of Nigeria.
That Namadi’s father worked with the railways and lived in Sabon Gari Zaria where Namadi was later born is a strong pointer to the possibility that his father was not indigenous to either Zaria or Northern Nigeria.
Namadi has not done much to help his case as he can at best be described as being dubious in the handling of the agitations regarding this issue. As a public officer and the number two citizen, Namadi must come clean and help lay this matter to rest. Devoid of its derogatory connotation, Nimadi is familiar with the substance of the Hausa adage, ina ne gidan ubanka? Simply put in this context, where did your father originate from? In a patrilineal society like Nigeria, your father’s lineage defines who you are. Whilst the individual is free to live, work and hold office in any part of the Nigeria, decency requires that the people you represent know the truth behind who you are without any reservations.
It is no longer a matter of politics or of his opponents trying to score cheap political points, but it is imperative for Sambo to address the controversy surrounding his heritage. More so, he is a Vice President on a zoned ticket representing an area where his extraction remains questionable. Equally disturbing is the scenario that if the speculation that Namadi’s roots are not from Kaduna State, that in effect amounts to a situation where the President and Vice President are from the same area. The North on whose platform Namadi was appointed would have been hoodwinked and cheated out.
* Balaminu Danazumi wrote from Tukur-Tukur Zaria

Chaii!! See IRONY!!

A newspaper established with stolen public funds by a kleptomaniac former governor whose own origin is shrouded in mystery is questioning the origin of another man.

This is clearly Yekini Amoda Ogunlere, alias Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at work, trying to create political problems for the Vice President. Sambo and GEJ had better wake up and stop treating Tinubu with kid gloves. They should fight him to finish, anyhow anyhow.

May the blood of all the Lagosians who have died needlessly, and the sweat of all the Lagosians who are paying taxes but seeing no dividends from those taxes (Ikorodu, Alimosho, Epe, Eti-Osa, Ibeju-Lekki, Badagry, Mushin, Agege, Apapa, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Ojo, Ifako-Ijaiye and Amuwo-Odofin) continue to cry to God for revenge on Tinubu, Fashola and anybody else who has benefited personally from funds they have pilfered "legally" or illegally from the public purse.

If they use the money to buy houses or buy land, may they never enjoy peaceable usage of the property. If they use it to buy food, may the food kill them by instalments, if they use it to educate their children, may they never benefit from the sweat of those children. May those children turn to vagabonds and become useless to themselves and society before their very eyes, in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Of course, if you have not pilfered from Lagos State either through contract inflation and skimming, collecting money from Fashola, Tinubu or their agents to do any work for them, or just benefited from them in any way, you will not be affected by these curses in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

plz read through dis guy's contributions on this thread to see if you can learn how to make sensible posts.


you sound d.aft.

Tpia, Please read through my contribution and see if you can correct your comprehension deficit, and control the insatiable urge your fingers have to just type anything.

You come across like a brain-dead numbskull. Actually, that's an insult to brain-dead numbskulls.

This is actually closer to the truth, even though it doesn't tell the full story. The reality is a lot worse than this, with a pupil, Lawal Buhari, drowning after falling into a pit latrine (Shalanga) at a primary school in Ketu.

Fashola is a congenital liar, just like his boss, Bola Tinubu.

Both of them, anyone that ever worked for them as Finance, Justice, Education and Works commissioners should ALL be in jail for life, and the key thrown away. Whatever sentence Ibori gets, for instance, in London today, Tinubu deserves the same, because they both stole their state's shares in Econet and laundered the money together.

Everyday for the thief, but one day, one day will be for the owner.

Probe army ke? Is Bello Muhammed on drugs?

Okaaaayy, I get it. Maybe he's one of the sponsors of Boko Haram. They should probe him thoroughly. Check out his finances, how he moves cash around, e.t.c.

I bet he's one of the terrorists' sponsors, or he knows some of them.

Let the probe start with Bello Mohammed. He must first be relieved of his position as Defence Minister. That position has become untenable, as the officers and men who worked to flush out Boko Haram can no longer have any confidence in the country with him in that position, given this STUPID utterance. How can he command their loyalty again

Sack Bello Mohammed now, GEJ. He is a saboteur in your government, trying to turn the Army Against you and instigate a coup.

I would prefer mini-uprisings each targeted at one problem or the other. We need to steadily wrest power away from the corrupt.

The british did it by steadily winning over different rights and powers from their monarchs until they were finally powerful enough to turn them into figureheads.

Same way the shippers and merchants of Hamburg managed to do so.

It will require the assistance of rich nigerians too. They will be in a position to put pressure on the government at critical points.

A bloody revolution? not sure its going to be good. The system is too corrupt to cleaned off by killing a few people.

I agree with you. Let's start with the corrupt Judiciary. Look at the way a judge indicted for perjury and consorting with politicians with cases before him has been asked to APOLOGISE for perjury, a criminal offence carrying a jail term. Not only that, Justice Ayo Salami has been allowed to continue as the President of the Court of Appeal. That is a slap on all right-thinking Nigerians and a disgrace to our country.

Let's target him with protests in EVERY WAY and on EVERY DAY until he is removed from office.

Gerrout and go and pay joor. You voted for them. Pay the price of your N1000 vote.

Darn, you beat me to it. I was going to invite eko-ile and the other one seanet to get their lips off Fashola's anus for a while and come and defend him.

O boy, na wa o!!

The truth has a peculiar way of just paralysing liars, doesn't it?

kurus:
Fashola is becoming more like tinubu everyday. Fashola is now thinking of how to finance 2015 election and who he will leave as successor. He also needs to find a way to deal with the tinubu parasite that is sucking the life out of lagos.

nothing is happening in lagos. all that razzamatazaa we say earlier is beginning to shows forth as magic. debt profile of lagos is UNBELIEVABLE and what do we have to show for it? Not much. lets not forget the state generates over 22b a month and that does not include federal allocation.

fashola will disappoint a lot of people soon. and lets not forget that less than 2% of the roads in lagos can be fixed by this admin before they leave in 2015. roads aint the only issue though. what about accomodation? hospitals? education, etc.

that thief tinubu needs to die(divine intervention Father Lord) so that enough funds can be available for other things to be done in lagos

This is a joke, right Fashola was Tinubu's Chief of Staff for at least 3 years. If nothing at all, he will have picked up some political/financial habits from his oga. For instance, he drafted the agreement ceding Lekki Peninsula to Bola Tinubu's companies for 30 years, and to be fair to him, he's been consistent in defending that obnoxious agreement.

Of course he is EXACTLY like TINUBU. Why expect anything different?

While giving deserved credit to Lagos State Governor, Raji Fashola, for infrastructural projects in the state, I urge the governor to endeavour to pay attention to the quality of work being done by contractors handling road constructions in the state.



advertisement

The quality of work being done on Surulere roads casts doubts on the competence of contractors chosen for jobs as well as justifies claims by opposition parties that such contracts are over-inflated in comparison to the work done.

One case that calls for the governor’s urgent attention is Ogunlana Road reconstruction which was completed early this year. It is astonishing that less than five months after, small potholes now dot the entire length of the road built by Plycon! Before the end of this rainy season, the potholes would have developed into craters.

Governor Fashola owes the people of Lagos who voted massively for him a duty to ensure judicious use of funds and that only qualified contractors are given jobs in the state. The job is not over once contracts are awarded. He also has to monitor the quality of work being executed.

I urge the amiable governor to order Plycon which handled the Ogunlana Road project back to do a proper reconstruction of the road. He should reassess current reconstruction of the other side of Masha (Adelabu Street)being done by the same Plycon and terminate the contract if the company cannot do a standard job.

Eko-Ile, Seanet02 and co. Won't you earn your blood money? Come and defend your masters nauw,

Kaka ki Eko baje, Ile ati Ona slaughter lo ma Baje

I have said it before, and I will say it again:

Anybody who is profiting from the suffering of Lagosian taxpayers will surely suffer in agony until their last breath. Every kobo of Lagos Taxpayer's money that finds its way into your purse will burn you and yours hotter than hell-fire, just as it will for your principals. If you use it to buy a car, you will crash it and injure yourself. If you use it to buy or build a house, you will not live in it in peace. If you rent it out, you will get troublesome tenants who will not pay and not move out.

Every imaginable suffering that Lagos Taxpayers are enduring because of the kleptocracy of your employers, and the money you are receiving from them, you, Seanet02 or whatever your real names are, will surely suffer a thousand fold, along with yours.

Ole jati-jati. Awon omo oju'o r'ola ri ti'n pe ara re ni Olaniyonu. Awon omo atohun rinwa osi!

Johnie, you might like living like a wild animal, hunted, or hunting for prey out of sheer hunger, but many of us who live here don't. We will take our Lagos from you lot eventually, and return it to sanity.

Lagos na jungle, na so I like am

I saw an article online written by a Nigerian who, according to the article, just returned from the United Kingdom. According to the writer, on the way to wherever in Lagos, he took a taxi and somehow, stumbled into a street scene where a man was being roasted live and direct on the streets of Lagos for stealing whatever!
The article writer said he began to call Governor Babatunde Fashola’s name and asked what the governor, with all the noise they make about his giant strides, was doing about such barbarity. The taxi driver (a sensible man, obviously) asked him if he saw Fashola standing near the jungle judges who were roasting their fellow man. The write said he was prompted to write an article to tell the rest of Nigerians how to behave.

Until I read the article, I didn’t know they still set fire to petty thieves and robbers in Lagos. I would have thought it is the kind of thing they do everywhere else but definitely not a metropolitan city like Lagos. I think it is a shame and such an act ought to be investigated and the people involved tried and hanged, if found culpable. I think that roasting people alive because they stole a handbag or even a fistful of cash is utterly despicable, reprehensible and should be condemned in strongest terms.

Those who do it are not interested in justice but roasting people to death is simply sport for them. I am totally against such form of justice and I will speak out against it any day.

However, I must say that I find the attitude of some of these returnee Nigerians annoying. Most times, when they return from the UK or the US, they always try to tell the rest of us who live at home the sort of jungle we live in and why we should try and clean up our act so that we can be like those who live in the YooKay and the YooEss.

To those returnee Nigerians, I say a profound thanks. Yes, we appreciate you pontificating about your own country but if you are not satisfied with the way we live here in the jungle, donate some dollars and pounds (if you can afford it) and let’s spend it to clean up Nigeria. Otherwise, leave us to our fate. We live in a jungle but, yes, we like it that way.
