Nigeria government has taken her lackadaisical attitude to the international community. Why changing already presented candidate in order to put that woman that never begged for the appointment forward , other Africa countries may not take this nonsense from us as our government exhibit indecision and maladmnitration that has characterized this government for the world to see. WTO is not a Nigeria agency Buhari government can do anyhow. Iweala is very competent but I think this government just want to rubbish her with this stuppid decision

At losprince & abduleez1, you see, any movie hinting "female empowerment, what the men can do, the female folks can do better" message, is very much hyped & sells like wild fire.

I don't know about other tribes, but as for the Igbos, you not having a male heir is akin to you not having a kid at all. Most Igbo men no matter how educated, reverence male kids to their female counterparts.

So Genevieve tries to counter that notion & mentality. She projects the females as strong, ambitious go getters like their male counterparts, and that all they need is the exposure & opportunity. Invariably, the moral of the story is that females are as important as their male counterparts.

Trust me, if the movie had been done in our 100% indigenous language, it would have been very much recognized by the Oscars, not saying it's going to win though.
then very poor character development in that regards

I went through websites of some private universities today before I decide which one to go...

I decide to you guys at least the school fees structure of one of the universities.....no special reason for choosing Veritas University school fees structure.

Going by the school fees structure of Veritas University as a sample, can go to private university in Nigeria or travel out for my study?


Source: https://www.veritas.edu.ng/admission/fees.php


Note: school fees structure of returning students (undergraduate) and Postgraduate diploma are also on the website but I am tire of screenshoting... grin
The traditional classroom is gradually going redundant.

Try Nexford University.

Online. Foreign. Unbelievably cheap.

And enough time for you to learn some other skills while schooling.

BusinessRe: Why I Broke My WEMA Alat ATM Card And Stopped Going Cashless by DrDax: 10:15am On Jun 05, 2020
Shoodboi:
I am so pissed off right now.

I wasn’t angry when I broke the card. I just wanted to make sure that:

i. I will not be able to use the card or account anymore.

ii. I will be forced to open a new regular bank account.


The Story (in brief)

I suffered a failed POS transaction yesterday.

I sent Wema ALAT a mail and they are yet to reply as of now (almost 24 hours later).

I called them this morning and listened to a recorded message about how my call may be delayed because of COVID-19. I quickly cut the call. Their customer wasn’t effective before the virus came along, so I wonder what to expect now.

I later visited their bank and the customer care rep told me the transaction will be reversed within 14 days, if they were sure that I was really unable to withdraw the money.

14 days? Why is this so?

The money doesn’t even belong to me and the owner is very angry with me right now. Someone sent it to her and she wanted to use someone else's account to receive it, but I convinced her to use me—and then this happened.

Worse, she needs it for feeding and I don't have any money to give her. (She wasn’t paying me for the service in case you’re wondering.)

I suffered the same thing in the hands of GTB. (Their regular customer service email complaints@gtbank.com isn't even working anymore.)

In fact, I opened a WEMA Alat account because of GTB’s failures. I thought Alat will be better since they marketed themselves as a “Digital Bank”, but it appears that I was wrong. They are “digital” in name only.

This should be the third or fourth time WEMA Alat is doing this sort of nonsense to me. And that is without counting the failed mobile and POS transfers.

I am actually not concerned about GTB’s and Wema’s failures. I just hate their terrible customer service.

Failed transactions are one thing. I actually consider them normal. However, poor customer service and unwillingness to quickly solve failed online transactions aren’t. And this is unfortunately common with most banks and businesses in this country.

Now, I’ve have made the decision to stop going cashless. I will start moving around with cash henceforth. I’m sick and tired of all these failed POS transactions and sluggish customer service reps.

I know I will still do some online transactions but that will be occasionally (online shopping, international payments, etc.)

That said, I want you all to answer these two questions:

1. Which bank is reliable for online transactions?

2. Which bank has the most effective customer care service in this country?

I’m thinking of opening a Union bank account since I can see they have revamped their business, but I don't want to jump into conclusions as I did with Alat.

Could you all help me out?

P.S. Please UBA and Skye (if this one still exists) are out of the equation. I used them in the past and can confidently say they are terrible. They steal money.

I don’t want Access bank too. I’ve never read anything good about them. They and fraud are relatives. I don’t want Diamond bank either since they are the new owners of Access bank.

So, any suggestions?
Are you in Lagos? Ikeja?

Union bank at Acme Road is dope.

Let me know when you are going so I can tell my Account Officer to give you a 5 Star treatment.

Shalom

BusinessRe: What Is The Difference Between Entrepreneurship And Intrapreneurship? by DrDax: 7:56am On Jun 05, 2020
sme360ng:
These two words have actually grown to cause a lot of controversy in the business world today. While some constantly wonder which of these suit them more appropriately, others do not even know what these words mean.

This article will clarify the differences between these two words as a matter of necessity because they sound and pose an object of confusion for many, in subsequent articles we would treat thoroughly other aspects of this topic. As always we must first analyze the meanings of these words.

According to management consultants GIFFORD AND ELIZABETH PINCHOT in their book “ Intrapreneuring: why you don’t have to leave the Corporation to be an entrepreneur” Intrapreneurs was defined to mean “dreamers who do, those who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovations of any kind within a business.”

Intrapreneurship is very often referred to as the entrepreneurship within an organization; which implies that new initiatives, creativity, and dynamism that augment organizational competence are intrapreneurship. It is, in fact, a matter of necessity that an intrapreneur can do the job of an entrepreneur. Which finally brings us to the description of who an entrepreneur is.

An entrepreneur is a person who sets up his own business taking a considerable amount of risk to own and operate the business with the aim of earning returns and rewards, from that business. Both of these categories of people must have certain qualities such as creativity, insight, good leadership abilities, adaptability and a good knowledge of the market in which their business thrives. See key differences for more insight.
However, in this article we would be discussing their differences and not their similarities.

Below are the major differences between them:

• Risk bearing: Unlike the intrapreneur, the entrepreneur bears all risks pertaining to the business, while the company bears the risks in the case of the intrapreneur. When profit or loss is made in an organization it directly affects the entrepreneur but it is borne by the company in the intrapreneur’s case. Intrapreneurs do not have the same level of authority and freedom as the entrepreneur, due to this it is only expected that the risk is borne on this same level.

What's with you nairaland guys and trying desperately to fault women in any post concerning them. How can i in good conscience tell my husband that his sister is trying to scam us? Do you know the blowout that could happen from it? The bad blood that may be forever csused by such accusstion? Yeah my sil was trying to pull a con, but she's not the devil. Even now, I respect her and still relate well with her especially as she didnt succeed.

The way i did it was the best because even now, everything has died down. Pkatakpata they'd only say i was too big to take the job offer. That itself isn't a sin
You just proved my point.

Repair your relationship with your husband.

You should be able to tell him anything without fear of him misinterpreting it.

He should be your refuge.

Family issues like this is really dicey. How csn i tell him his sister is trying to scam us? I did the best i could do in such situation by shutting the whole thing down. I heard she actually collected some money from my co wife for same job and when it amounted to nothing, she blamed the recruitment process. Las las, she's family, you can't beat her or arrest her
Your relationship with your husband needs an adjustment.

You should be able to tell him HIS SISTER IS A SCAMMER without him taking offense.

You should even be able to tell him HIS MOTHER IS A WITCH without him taking offense.

He even blamed you for not falling for it. SMH
Very poor of you.

Do something about your relationship before they turn his head.
Believe me, they are working on it.

haba only him 24

not justifying rape oo, but when a guy ask you out say No, if you dont want him and cut him off immediately.. no point visiting him in a secluded place like his house or his bedroom

i remember the court case my mum always used to warn my sisters about rape... A foolish girl lost the rape case in court when she replied a lawyer during cross examination, that she pulled off her shoes by herself and couldnt give a concrete explanation as to how a tight Jeans trouser came off her body

how can you prove that a guy had sex without your consent, when you visited his house and used your leg to walk into his bedroom without him forcing you with a weapon or druging you, you even agreed to having a relationship with him

.
I will excuse your ignorance this once.

Even if she gave you the come-on and pulled off her clothes by herself.
Even if she spreads her legs wide and still tells you NO.
It is rape!!!!!!!!!

NO means NO.

Is that clear? or should I spell it to you?
