Family / Re: After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by DrOBD(m): 12:11pm On Mar 07
The fact that he didn'task for money makes it even worse for the naija based guy.
Not asking and receiving 20k, shows the guy get you for mind. Person wen send you 20k na him go fit send 200k later or even when you run into challenges would be willing to help.

He can politely ask his friend nit to ever send him money again since he didn't ask and return the 12 dolars
Timoleon:


They said 18 years wrongly. The body of the article says the person left in 2008. To the matter of 'his poor friend' nowhere was it said that his friend was poor. Like it was said in the OP and I have reiterated, the Nigerian based friend didn't ask him for money. The abroad based person messaged by himself to say send you account number. If he was struggling abroad, he should have simply maintained status quo. No harm in that. If I am struggling, my priority will be receiving not giving randomly even to people that didn't ask me for anything.

pussyeater:

Ogun keee your neighbor. Na people like your neighbor dey stingy pass, werey. You know how many other people he send N20k to, within the same period. He fit be say na 20 people he send N20k each to, which fit equals N400k, but your werey neighbor is an ingrate. Thunder fire your neighbor, tell am say na me talk am. Also tell am make I no catch am for street

This is very valid. Once people in naija can access someone abroad, it's one request or the other.
On a good day, one can send money to 10 to 20 people within a month. If you begin send 200k each to 20 people, you can imagine what will happen to the abroad guy.

We just need to stop being entitled.

Its just unfortunate that some people reason like this.
Do you know what people pass through abroad. The fact that he reconnected with hisnfriwnd is enough. If he sent him 20k, thats just an extra for him to do something no matter how small ut may be.
If the guy sent 20k now, he may be able to send 100k at another time, he may also be able to help him in other ways.

By the way,friendship should not be parasitic. This guy in Naija can also send his abroad friend a gift. It does not matter who is abroad or who is in naija.

Timoleon:
Lol...this is worse than insult. It's better to not send anything than ring someone up after 16 years in the abroad just to send 12$.

Some people will say it's 'entitlement mentality'. But if I see you for road, you dey mind your business I come hala say I know say life hard, take 50 naira go find biscuit chop, before you die for our neck. You go reason better blow for mouth. After all, you no beg me for food or for money. Despite the fact that I just gave you my 'hard earned' money, you'd know in your heart of hearts that I just undermined you.

For 16years, bro has been managing to survive, How would you message him out of the blues to send him 12$. One carton of indomie.

There is no tight race. Election is likely rigged already.

It's very sad what the current INEC has reduced our democratic process to. It's now more of selection than election.

May the best man win.

Politics / Re: Umar Ardo: Atiku May Be Expelled From PDP If He Tries To Contest Again by DrOBD(m): 8:07am On Nov 06, 2023
Atiku sold out his ambition the day he supported Buhari vs GEJ. Tinubu saw the future and knew it would be coming down south after Buhari. Atiku is not smart.


Judolisco:
Atiku can no longer contest.... It's over for him politically.... If he had allowed Jonathan to run once more.... He would have succeeded him.... How on earth would he think, he'll take over for buhari another northerner after 8 yrs?

Politics / Re: It Is TIME For Tinubu To TOUGHEN UP And Go After His Enemies. by DrOBD(m): 8:20pm On Oct 07, 2023
I am not saying i support whats happening to Tinubu, but this was exactly how they treated President Goodluck Jonatha, and Tinubu was at the forefront of all the insults.

Rostikol:
Tinubu is being too gentlemanly for my liking.

He is acting like he's the president of Sweden or Canada.

Gentleman presidency.

This is NIGERIA, not Sweden or UK.

You have to be ruthless here, because people here are not gentlemen.

They are very rugged, rough people, with no conscience.

PRESIDENT TINUBU needs a reality check.

I don't think he fully understands that he is the PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry riffraff (from the East mostly) goes online to abuse him and call him all sorts of unprintable names on a daily basis.

How long before he says ENOUGH?

How much abuse can one man take?

Dragging his name all over the whole internet and abusing him daily!

Enough already....

He should start by ordering the SS to go after people making incendiary, unproven allegations against him online, and drag them to court to testify and prove their allegations, or sue them for libel and defamation.

A couple of lengthy jail sentences for the culprits will discourage the rest of the online mob of imbeciles insulting him daily because of free internet access.

Mr President needs to understand that this country is filled with ASSHOLES who will take advantage of his gentlemanism.

He needs to start acting like a damn PRESIDENT.

He must become at least as strong as Obasanjo was in his time.

Personally I think he should be far stronger and more mean, because this new generation think they are wiser than everybody, and so require some HEAVY discipline that will shut them up and teach them manners.

Gettipro:
Good morning Nairalanders. I got this email yesterday. How long would it take for me to get a mail from TLS after this email below? I didn't get a mail to know if the visa was approved or refused. What could be the likely decision?

Dear..

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, our records indicate a decision has been made on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone.

If your visa has been granted, a visa vignette (sticker) will be stuck inside your passport with 3 months validity (from the start of your visa) to travel.

You will be contacted by VFS/TLS when your passport is ready for collection, or delivery of your passport.

Please do not attend the VAC until you have been contacted as you won’t be able to collect your passport until it is ready.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

Please note the information given to you on the progress of an application is dependent on the details you provide, and we can only provide the progress updates based on the application reference number given.

We do not have access to specific case information and so progress updates could be subject to change. Please wait for formal contact or a decision letter before taking any further steps.

Did you get the visa?

Jobakemz:
Hi everyone,
Please I have an issue here. My dad's 6 months visa was just approved and collected yesterday after almost 3montgs of waiting.
However he received a refusal mail also yesterday.
The UK vignette is already on his passport and shows 25-09-2022 till a date in march.
The date on refusal letter shows 10-10-2022. Which probably means someone else checked the application. Errors were also noted on the refusal letter, such as account balances.
Please any ideas on way forward or do we just ignore.

How did you resolve this issue??

Ceenaija:
We are tired of eating the soup prepared by the APC .The situation calls for a change and change is now or never. The change we need now
Is the labour party if labour party fails we will never hastate to push them out.

Same thing was said when APC won vs Jonathan. Guess what, they have done 8 years and another 8 years loading.

Until we have political parties with strong ideological leanings, Nigeria will not change.

Results from the Northern parts of Nigeria shows Atiku in maximum confidence of victory.
These are the most populated States that have given almost 90% of their votes to Atiku, despite Kwankwaso another contender from the North being on the ballot.

Kano
Jigawa
Gombe
Kebbbi
Yobe

Politics / Re: Possible Result Of The 2023 Presidential Election From Each State. by DrOBD(m): 5:42am On Feb 24, 2023
Using your logic, you scored APC higher than PDP in cross rivers, Imo and Ebonyi because they have APC governors, and you think the Governors of Delta, Bayelsa and Chairman Akwa Ibom will fold theirs hands?

You gave APC 40% in Adamawa, despite having a PDP governor, and presidential candidate? You also gave labour 0%, LP will do better than 0%. You gave APC 40% due to their structure and you think PDP don't have structures in APC controlled states? Places like Ogun, Ondo, Oyo APC will win, but not a with wider margin.

This is not a prediction, it's your wish, don't think it will happen.

Having said that, I think BAT will win. Obi factor, plus PDP heavily divided.

Election will be marred once again by heavy rigging.
Politics / Re: Make Your Top 4 Presidential Election Predictions by DrOBD(m): 11:41am On Feb 23, 2023
Tinubu or Atiku either can be first, depending on who the north will vote for.

Obi - 3rd

I bought ankle chain for my wife.

I even encouraged her to dress like that.

Nigerians and hypocrisy. My dear, if you love her, marry her. Your mom has lived her life, and you have to live yours.

I dislike parents who wants to live and make decisions for their children.

There need to be a law banning the courts from meddling in the Choice of the People. Supreme court is biting more than it can chew. That CJN is a politician based on his recent comments and he needs to be replaced

This is it, that's what I've been saying.

At best the court can order a re-run, but should never be given the powers to declare a different winner.
