@dotcom name name I pmed you last week but I didn't get any response,my enquiry goes thus:
I secured admission for my masters in the university of Limerick and I want to begin the application process but right now I'm kinda confused on how to go about payment. I would love to know what you can tell about the pay to study platform most schools use in Ireland, how it works & if it's favorable in cognizance of the present economic situation in Nigeria (official/parallel market rates) or any other method in which fees can be paid to Ireland without incurring excess unwanted charges.

I did not see your message.

This is how it works.

(1) Go to www.PaytoStudy.com

(2) register and enter your payment details on www.PaytoStudy.com

(3) You will receive exchange rate for that day which will be valid for 48 hours

(4) Go to your bank in Nigeria and give them PaytoStudy account details to make payment in naira

(5) Once funds are received by PaytoStudy, payment is immediately transferred to the receivers account from the local PaytoStudy account in their home country.

Can you imagine this girl thinks she is wiser than me.So,you hurriedly came to nairaland to create a thread before I could create mine just because I don't have power on my phone.Definitely you are very dubious.Yes,I called you to know the kind of thing you produce if I could be managing it with what am managing here.I asked for a sample of what you produces and you sent me images of lacasera plastics.I was not contented with with your claim that you have been in this business for long.You should have posted the pictures you sent to me if nairalandera won't ask you is that all what you got that you are claiming you are into a business.Definitely you rushed down to nairaland to create a thread before me when I told you I will tell the whole world that you are a dubious fellow.In order not to beat you on that,you came here to spew gibberish.I will post the thread you created here that you need someone who will market your products and I thought if it is a good product,I can try my hand on it. THEN you should have convinced me. INSTEAD you sent me the pictures which were not enough to convince me.How will you send pictures like these without your company labels, the components that make up your coconut oil which you claimed cure diabetes,hypertension,scars and all those.Then,I told you that you must be a scammed and I am definitely going to report you.Please,it will be nice if you could post all the remaining chats of ours.Did you tell nairalanders how you called me to beg me that I should cover you up.I expected you to send me the images of the products itself.You called me on phone persuading to send money tomorrow so that you will ship the products to me because another batches will be leaving Lagos on Friday which made me realise that you are a thief.Did you tell them all these when you came here.I think I need to take things up with you with what you have just done because this is a complete defarmation of character.I have your pictures with me and I don't have anything to loose.Nairalandeea please ask her to send all our chats and also ask her to show her call history where she was begging me but I know she must have deleted everything.I told her am coming to nairalanders to report her because we still have gullible people who will send her money without confirming if what she has is a genuine business.The message she claim I sent to her,let her post it here for nairalanders to see the contents.I only want to tell her she is not wise.

The real issue isn't Arsenal winning the FA cup, but Oshoala's appearance and playing time for the team.

The real issue is the above bad beles said it was a bad decision for her to join Arsenal. Has Oshoala ever won any trophy with Arsenal since joining Arsenal Ladies to prove it wasn't a bad decision to join Arsenal Ladies? YES she won a trophy today. Case closed!

Asisat Oshoala just won the Women's FA Cup for Arsenal.

Where are the bad beles like sweetcocoa and oloriooko that said it was a bad decision for her to join Arsenal. https://www.nairaland.com/2997678/arsenal-fc-ladies-unveils-oshoala/1

I note that the BVN registration for Nigerians In Diaspora has been extended to June 30, 2016.

The fact is there is no BVN enrolment centre here in Ireland. I have been asked my bank through email where to go to for my BVN enrolment but the staff said its the instruction from CBN and failure to enrol my BVN will have my account frozen.

So why would they freeze my account when there is no BVN centre here?

Any advice/suggestion/opinion? Thanks.

Mod please kindly help push this to fp. God bless.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ECCC, has obtained a remand order to keep a former Minister of Aviation, and Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, in custody for 14-days, pending the outcome of its ongoing investigation.

The N840 million, which Fani-Kayode confessed to have received, was said to have emanated from the account of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

However, the former minister had told The Punch, that the PDP leadership gave him the impression that the money was sourced from private individuals.

“I served as the director of publicity of the Jonathan campaign organisation and I was told to set up an account for the directorate, which I did. I never received money from the CBN, but like all the other directors, we received money from the director of finance,” He said.

According to reports, the EFCC was working on the assumption that the ex-minister might have received more than N840 million.

“Besides the N840 million that Fani-Kayode admitted to receiving, we believe he got more. Thanks to BVN (Bank Verification Number), we can trace all other accounts that he has. We will trace the transaction history and see how much he truly received and how much was from the public funds,” a detective in the office of the anti-graft agency said.

He added: “There are other petitions against the former minister and he will be grilled. In the coming days, we will reveal the outcome of investigations.”

Fani-Kayode is being investigated by the EFCC for allegedly receiving N840 million when he was the Director of Publicity for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation in 2015.

The commission had recently frozen the ex-minister’s Zenith Bank account with number 1004735721, domiciled at Maitama, Abuja.

Meanwhile, it was learnt that the commission might seize some of the ex-minister’s properties as investigations continue.

Fani-Kayode, was last Friday formally invited by the commission to appear at its headquarters on Monday, May 9, for questioning, over allegations of money laundering and fraud.

The invitation came in form of a letter and addressed to his Abuja home. However, shortly after the news of the invitation became public, Fani-Kayode raised alarm that officials of the EFCC were surrounding his home, a development the anti-graft agency confirmed, but later withdrew from his premises.

Dear VO,

I and my friend intend to visit the US together. We're both legal residence of Ireland. My friend is currently in Nigeria for business trip. Since his country of residence is Ireland, can he apply for US visa in Nigeria? And as he does not have ties to Nigeria but Ireland, will they accept his ties to Ireland and not Nigerian documents?

Thanks

Roberto Martinez sacked by Everton - Sky sources


Roberto Martinez has been sacked by Everton with immediate effect, according to Sky sources.

The Toffees have picked up only four points in the Premier League since March 5 and the 3-0 loss to Sunderland on Wednesday stretched their dismal run of form to just one win in 10 matches in all competitions.

Martinez, who had three years remaining on his contract, led Everton to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and Capital One Cup this season, but their poor league form has ultimately proved his undoing and he leaves after nearly three years at the club.

A "Martinez out" banner was visible at the Stadium of Light, even prior to kick-off, and has been seen in recent weeks at home matches, including when some fans held a protest against the Spaniard following the 2-1 victory over Bournemouth on April 30.

Another protest was planned to go ahead on Thursday night outside St George's Hall, where Everton will be holding their end-of-season awards dinner.

Some Everton fans had been calling for Roberto Martinez to be sacked

But following the club's decision to dismiss Martinez, it would seem highly unlikely the protest will take place.

Martinez had vowed to bring the "winning feeling back" to Everton following their defeat to Sunderland - their fourth loss in their last five matches - but he will not have the chance to do so against Norwich City on Sunday.

Martinez's last game in charge was a 3-0 defeat to Sunderland

He was appointed as David Moyes' successor in June 2013 and guided Everton to their best Premier League points tally - 72 - and a fifth-place finish in his first season in charge.

Martinez smashed the club's transfer record with the £28m signing of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea in the summer of 2014, but failed to build on the success of his debut campaign at the club, finishing in 11th.

The 2015-16 season has been another disappointing campaign for Martinez and Everton, who have won only five times at Goodison Park - only relegated Aston Villa have fewer home victories.

Everton currently sit in 12th spot and, with only one match remaining, they are guaranteed to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League for a second successive year.

[size=15pt]Buhari is not a typical Ip0b liar[/size]

Apology? No thanks, we need our money back, says Buhari
British papers accuse PM of hypocrisy, president says oil firms are complicit in oil theft

British Prime Minister David Cameron wednesday attempted to reverse his unguarded remark about Nigeria and Afghanistan, two countries which on Tuesday, he, described as “fantastically corrupt”, when he was briefing Queen Elizabeth II on the ongoing anti-corruption summit being hosted by the United Kingdom.

While briefing Members of Parliament (MP) in the House of Commons wednesday, the British PM said Nigeria and Afghanistan had taken “remarkable steps forward” on corruption, reported the BBC.

The PM said the countries’ leaders were “battling hard” to tackle the problem.

His attempt at a mea culpa came after Buhari, who arrived London on Tuesday evening for the summit, said Cameron’s gaffe was not reflective of his administration’s fight against corruption.

However, when asked yesterday by journalists at the pre-anti-corruption conference in London if Nigeria was “fantastically corrupt”, Buhari candidly replied, “Yes”, adding that corruption in Nigeria was endemic, but his government was committed to fighting it.

He went on to state that he was not going to demand an apology from Britain or Cameron, making it abundantly clear that he was more interested in the return of Nigeria’s assets held in British banks.

“I am not going to be demanding any apology from anybody. What I will be demanding is the return of assets. I have already mentioned how Britain led and how disgraceful one of Nigeria’s executives (former Bayelsa Governor, the late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha) was. He had to dress like a woman to leave Britain and left behind his bank account and fixed assets which Britain is not prepared to hand over to us.

“This is what I am asking for. What will I do with an apology? I need something tangible,” he said.
Also in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour wednesday, Buhari refused to be defensive over Cameron’s statement, saying: “Well he said what he knows about both countries. He did not say what he said to the press, it was a private conversation.”

In its reaction, the Afghan embassy in London said tackling corruption was one of President Ashraf Ghani’s top priorities and “bold” action had been taken.

“We have made important progress in fighting systematic corruption in major national procurement contracts and are making progress on addressing institutional issues as well as issues related to impunity… therefore calling Afghanistan in that way is unfair,” the embassy said.

According to the BBC, Cameron was asked about his comments on Nigeria and Afghanistan during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, where he jokingly checked if his microphone was working, refering to “tips on diplomacy” and said he had made “many unforced errors” in the past 24 hours.

Answering a question from Tory backbencher Philip Davies, who asked why UK aid was being given to countries that the PM sees as corrupt, in his reply, Cameron praised the action taken by Afghanistan and Nigeria and warned that cutting off aid could “come back to haunt us here”.

He also defended the action by his own government, including initiatives on overseas tax havens and measures to make sure “plundered money from African countries can’t be hidden in London”.

In the footage showing Cameron’s comments on Tuesday, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to say: “But this particular president is not corrupt… he’s trying very hard,” before Speaker John Bercow said: “They are coming at their own expense, one assumes?”

Earlier, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the PM had been “merely stating a fact” in his comments, and ex-London mayor Boris Johnson said people would “find it refreshing he was speaking his mind”.

Downing Street said the presidents of Nigeria and Afghanistan had “acknowledged the scale of the corruption challenge they face in their countries”.
But Labour MPs said a Tory government “hosting an anti-corruption summit was like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop”.

“The government is refusing to take meaningful action to close Britain’s constellation of tax havens, which together constitute the largest financial secrecy network in the world,” said Shadow International Development Secretary Diane Abbott.

Similarly, British papers — The Guardian and Telegraph — accused Cameron, Britain and the west of hypocrisy.
“They have spent decades ordering poor countries and failed states to sort out their problems with dodgy money, even while taking much of that dodgy money and ploughing it through their banks, their ritzy stores, their estate agents, and their offshore tax havens,” The Guardian wrote in its editorial wednesday.

In an Op-ed piece in the Telegraph written by David Davis and Jo Cox, the authors said: “The Panama Papers have shifted the focus of corruption far up the supply chain, to the people who make corruption possible – and those people are often rather closer to home.

“But careful readers of the Panama Papers will notice an important fact that should have given Cameron pause for thought before he made his comments to the Queen. More than half of the companies named in law firm Mossack Fonseca files are incorporated in Britain’s own tax havens. In fact, a full 50 per cent of the companies are from the British Virgin Islands.

“The Prime Minister knows this. Look at what he said just a few months ago: ‘Some of the British Crown Dependences and Overseas Territories are making progress […]. Others, frankly, are not moving anywhere near fast enough. […] If we want to break the business model of stealing money and hiding it in places where it can’t be seen, transparency is the answer’.”

Transparency International had also acknowledged that the UK’s record was mixed and concrete action was needed on tax evasion and secrecy in the wake of the Panama Papers’ disclosures, stopping tainted firms from bidding for public contracts and protecting whistleblowers who expose corruption.

Asked whether the PM knew his remarks to the Queen were being recorded, Downing Street said: “The cameras are very close to him, there are multiple cameras in the room.”

At a garden party later on Tuesday, the Queen herself was filmed on camera making comments about the Chinese government.
She told a senior police officer that she had heard the Chinese had been very rude to Britain’s ambassador to China during President Xi Jinping’s state visit last year.

Meanwhile, Buhari, at a pre-summit forum yesterday in London, gave his commitment to applying the rule of law and to respecting human rights in the fight against corruption.

The president, in a speech he made at a Commonwealth event titled, “Tackling Corruption Together: A Conference for Civil Society, Business and Government Leaders”, said he had also instructed security agencies to respect human rights while carrying out their duties.

He said: “I am not unaware of the challenges of fighting corruption in a manner consistent with respect for human rights and the rule of law. As a country that came out of prolonged military rule only 16 years ago, it will clearly take time to change the mentality and psychology of law enforcement officers.

“I am committed to applying the rule of law and to respecting human rights. I also require our security agencies to do the same.”

Ostensibly referring to the prolonged detention of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, and the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, who had both been granted bail by courts of competent jurisdictions, Buhari however admitted that in a few cases “stringent rules” had been applied as a result of threats to national security and the likelihood that certain persons might escape from the country or seek to undermine the stability of Nigeria.

The president consequently sought the support of many countries for the prosecution of certain individuals residing in their jurisdictions.

He said: “Of course, we will provide the necessary legal documents and whatever mutual assistance is required to secure the conviction of such individuals, as well as facilitate the repatriation of our stolen assets.”

Buhari further observed that he had since discovered that the repatriation of corrupt proceeds was very tedious, time consuming, costly and entailed more than just the signing of bilateral or multilateral agreements.

He said: “This should not be the case as there are provisions in the appropriate United Nations Convention that require countries to return assets to countries from where it is proven that they were illegitimately acquired.”
Buhari added that Nigeria was disposed to forging strategic partnerships with governments, civil society organisations, the organised private sector and international organisations to combat corruption.
“Our sad national experience had been that domestic perpetrators of corrupt practices often worked hand-in-hand with international criminal cartels,” he said.

According to him, stolen public funds were often transferred abroad into secret accounts.
He therefore called for the establishment of an international anti-corruption infrastructure that will monitor, trace and facilitate the return of such assets to their countries of origin.

He further stressed that the repatriation of identified stolen funds should be done without delay or preconditions.
Buhari also told the gathering that apart from looting of public funds, Nigeria was also confronted with illegal activities in the oil sector.

He said: “That this industry has been enmeshed in corruption with the participation of the staff of some of the oil companies is well established. Their participation enabled oil theft to take place on a massive scale.”
He cited a report released by Chatham House in London in 2013, titled “Nigeria’s Criminal Crude: International Options to Combat the Export of Stolen Oil”.

According to him, the findings of the Chatham House document were “illuminating and troubling”.
Part of the Report, he told the gathering, concluded that: “a) Nigerian crude oil is being stolen on an industrial scale and exported, with the proceeds laundered through world financial centres by transnational organised criminals.

“b) Oil theft is a specie of organised crime that is almost totally off the international community’s radar, as Nigeria’s trade and diplomatic partners have taken no real action.

“c) Nigeria cannot stop the trade single-handedly, and there is limited value in countries going it alone.”
Buhari then said that the menace of oil theft in Nigeria, put at over 150,000 barrels per day, was a criminal enterprise involving internal and external perpetrators.

“Illicit oil cargoes and their proceeds move across international borders. Opaque and murky as these illegal transactions may be, they are certainly traceable and can be acted upon, if all governments show the required political will.

“This will has been the missing link in the international efforts hitherto. Now in London, we can turn a new page by creating a multi-state and multi-stakeholder partnership to address this menace,” he said.

Buhari also called on the international community to designate oil theft as an international crime similar to the trade in “blood diamonds”, saying it constituted an imminent and credible threat to the economy and stability of oil-producing countries like Nigeria.

To stem the tide, the president advocated an agreement on a rules-based architecture to combat corruption in all its forms and manifestations.

He said the anti-corruption crusade should be a shared agenda for civil society, businesses and governments requiring commitment from companies, creating a space for civil society and governments providing support for whistle-blowers, adding that governments must demonstrate unquestionable political will and commitment to the fight against corruption.

According to him, “The private sector must come clean and be transparent, and civil society, while keeping a watch on all stakeholders, must act and report with a sense of responsibility and objectivity.”
He said Nigeria was committed to signing the Open Government Partnership initiatives alongside Cameron during the summit today.

A source told our correspondent that the late Ibrahim Uwais, who secretly traveled to Syria in February 2015 to join ISIS, was one of numerous Islamist terrorists who perished as US military aircraft bombarded known ISIS camps near the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo.

“Ibrahim died today on the battlefield in Aleppo,” our source stated. He added that one of the two wives of the deceased currently trapped in Syria might notify the family of his death.

SaharaReporters learned that Ibrahim Uwais left Nigeria in 2015, telling close family members he was headed to Turkey to explore business opportunities. He took along his two wives and five kids. However, he slipped from Turkey into Syria with his entire family and joined the burgeoning army of volunteer fighters who travel from different parts of the world to enlist with ISIS, a group whose agenda is to carve out an Islamist caliphate.

From 1995 to 2006, Justice Uwais was Nigeria’s Chief Justice, presiding over the country’s Supreme Court.
