My thoughts as well. Wildlife photographers don't kill Animals. If you do in the developed world, you'll be cooling off in jail.

A very nice picture, but this is not wildlife.

Penboy:
Upcoming wildlife photographer and you're killing snakes. What you ought to be preserving.

Well done sir.

Nothing like that in Nigeria.

Kindly update us after you break the news to him.

Thanks for saving him.

ALEX182:
I think I will. I even asked him if it was Ebola but he said it wasn't and mentioned West Nile virus. Me I don't know if West Nile virus occured in Nigeria earlier this year so I just kept mute and decided to find out.

The guy is so much in love and part of me feels that this will break his heart and lead him to do something drastic. It's so troubling to me and a part of me just wants to waka far and act like it's not my business but another part is burning with anger at the scammers

You can speak with your supervisor about how you feel. You may want to clarify if its ethically correct for you to discuss this with your patient.
Remember, this could eventually affect the mental health of your patience, therefore the principle of beneficence may be considered here.
Just do something, anything to save that young man.

ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

Thank you sir/ma. You've been very helpful.

The choice to invest via a branch or online is yours to make. If you invest via a branch, you have a physical office to walk in to in the event of complaints or issue. For online complaints you will call the customer care line or send an email.to the support team.

For branch accounts you can open account with any branch without walking in to that branch. Get a contact from your desired branch and have them email the form to you. Fill, scan and email the form back and your account will be open within days.

Accounts opened via branch cannot be managed online yet. That's work in progress though.

It's actually more "DANGEROUS" giving me your account number than your BVN. So I don't get it why Nigerians "hoard" their BVN. For now it is optional but it is eventually going to be compulsory at some point.

Another question I have:

Assuming I decide to do paper based application. Can I link it to my already existing/verified account, so I can monitor my investment online.

airsaylongcom:
Similar process as my initial message you quoted. However the transfer to MBA account MUST BE from the child's account. So move funds from your account to the child's account and th3n from th3 child's account to MBA's account.

Also regulatory ID for the child can be NPC birth certificate if the child doesn't have International Passport or NIMC. But NOT those certificates issued by churches or hospitals. It has to be NPC issued

Is it advisable to open an account online or walk to one of your branches.
I have already opened and in the process of verifying my identification.

Kindly let me know if its better to go to the office, invest through your online platform or fill the form and send to one of your agents.

Plus your new form has space for filling BVN. Is ut compulsory to include my BVN number?

₦50m to ₦99.9m 5%
₦100m and above 2.5%

MoodyQueen:
Lol. She's a myopic one.

There are lots of succesful couples out there with huge age difference; female being older.

Tell her to check up on Megan Markle, Brigitte Macron, Shakira, etc who cared not about age.

Locally, we have a few examples...Governors Kayode Fayemi and Akerodolu.

NockMedia:
Age ain't nothing but a number, but when you grow old as a man, you will understand the advantage of marrying a younger woman.
When you become weak and frail and your wife is also weak and frail because she is older than you...how do you cope if you don't have money to hire a nanny or your kids are gone?

So basically you are advising men to marry a nanny and not for love or companionship. When the man dies, what happens to the young lady?

moscobabs:
The fact remains the he was dethroned

When you "dethrone" a king, another must take over. However a king can be exiled without dethroning that king. No man born of a woman can "dethrone" the oba of Benin. The natural heir to the throne is the king's first son, and the position is not contested like it's done in other parts of the country.

anjowaka510:
All Obas and Emirs are answerable to common local government
Let us learn further from history.
Ovonramwen Nogbaisi of Benin was dethroned in 1897
Also Sultan of Sokoto Ibrahim Dasuki in 1996
And finally Almighty alafin Adeyemi was also dethroned in 1955.

Please don't say what you don't know. The one was not dethroned. Read the story again. His first son (Eweka II) took over from him . He was exiled to Calabar due to British invasion of Benin, not dethroned by any Government. What is happening now to the Northern Emirs is different.

kode12:
I like where you are coming from, but kindly note that traditional rulers can be removed by the sitting governors of their states. And as a matter of fact, when Lucky Igbinedion held office c.2005 he too nearly removed the Oba of Benin from office, due to ruckus between the Oba and Nosakhare Igbinedion. The difference was the people of Bini kingdom fought against it and the Benin traditional stool being held in such high regard he had no choice but to back down.

The issue between Gabriel Igninedion and the then Oba dated back several years before Lucky became Governor. If it was that easy, Lucky would have had his way with the influence the Igninedions had back then and the recklessness of the then PDP government. You can't just dethrone the Oba of Benin and replace him with one ransome dude. It's not possible.

seunmsg:
Rubbish. There is no untouchable king in Nigeria right now. Governors are actually the real Kings as far as states are concerned. Alaafin, Sultan and Oba of Benin have all been dethroned by government in the past without any problem. No king is bigger than the state governor. They all serve at the mercy of the state government.

Pardon my ignorance. Which Nigerian Givernor since 1960 have tried to dethrone the Oba of Benin. Only the first son of the King can become an Oba, so who did they replace the Oba with. Please clarify.

Equation89:
That's the reason why he have a minister of health which have also made a broadcast on this. Buhari as president can't be everywhere.

Agreed, but when was the last time he addressed Nigerians on TV, and where exactly is he. Is he camera-shy?

Happy birthday my football idol. I don't think I can ever love a footballer the way I love you.

My birthday wishes for CR7 is a 6th and 7th Ballon D'Or

Our natural disaster is poor leadership, bad government and abysmal followers.

What is worse than lack of electricity, poor roads, lack of quality health care, decaying educational system, etc.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I hate the fact that Ronaldo fails to show up at awards where he will not be star of the show
First na fifa player award now ballon d'or that is not nice but na him business sha

Messi does exactly the same. Check out awards in 2016 and 2017 when Ronaldo was winning. Last year, Ronaldo was clearly robbed. If I wouldn't attend too if i was in his shoes.
Next year, Messi won't attend if ita Ronaldo's turn to win. Messi did not attend last year as well. Both Messi and Ronaldo are guilty of this.

obembet:
Messi was absent last year because he was not among the probable winners, he was not among the top 3 .As for CR7 ,he was among the top 3; yet decided to snub the occasion.

Messi wasn't there in 2016 and 2017, and he was in top 3. Messi does exactly the same when Ronaldo is winning. This trend was started by Messi.

Kastonkastroll:
What you said is total BS. So celebs shouldn't speak up about negative things just because they are celebs?
This kinda low mentality is what is really wrong with the black man and Africans in general. Kean, the juventus forward was racially abused by fans, didn't you see how football stars around the world were condemning the act? Simi was bold in calling those bastards called yahoo-boys out, and you think she shouldn't have done that? Really!!! Do you have any idea what those yahoo fraudsters are doing to you and me? Maybe you know knowing about online jobs and all the opportunities one is supposed to get, but those bastards yahoo boys are killing everything for brilliant Nigerian minds.

You and your kinds better change this sick mentality of yours. Is very nauseating to say the least.

God bless you

What a country

How did the thugs get there. Where is the NA when you need them the most.

This is a very good suggestion. This will also foster unity as no state will be more important than the other.

Lalasticala FP please

Donmedra:
APC won in taraba and got 40% in the rest.

Jonathan is the cause of this nonsense

Jonathan is not the cause. He is a good democrat. In politics, you must be loyal to your party. Who are those mostly hit by the Buhari tsunami, those who betrayed Jonathan and their party in 2015. They betrayed APC again in 2019. They deserve to lose.

SamuelAnyawu:


I immediately stopped supporting Atiku when my colleagues his kinsmen complained bitterly about him.


Atiku has no followership in Adamawa make i no mention Northeast or Northwest self

Atiku was a big mistake. Tambuwal would have done better than Atiku. He would have divided the north better than Atiku.

APC will be very foolish to seize power from PDP after 16 years, then give it back to them just after one tenure. I have been saying it since last year. No opposition can beat APC this year, its too early.

omonaijiria:
ATIKU POLLING UNIT

polling unit, real result have emerged,

PDP-466
APC-84

Hope this is not fake. Someone said it was live on channels TV. What's your source.

NinjaMetahuman:
mumu ... you are not in nigeria and you are here talking like fool.. seriously, you deserve a slap.

Meanwhile, did you vote. Who are you supporting.

NinjaMetahuman:
mumu ... you are not in nigeria and you are here talking like fool.. seriously, you deserve a slap.

My brother, I dey Naija o and I vote today, although not for Atiku/Buhari. My brother we don't have to fight because of useless politicians. They just want use us and dumb UA until another election cycle.

Have a lovely evening.

NinjaMetahuman:
you are really naive.. boy, there is nothing like one nigeria.

the earlier you get that into your thick skull, the better you start putting your own interest first.

See this small boy lecturing me. Off course I know,I just stating what should be ideal.

For your info, I've stopped being a Nigerian since last year. Only a matter of time, my extended family will follow suit.

Happy election day

Philistine:
PDP will deal with SW if they win the presidential election, their 2015 defeat is still very much in their minds.So, it is all about regional interest. Once again I say Yorubas are naive

Please stop this Yoruba's are naive nonsense. This country would have been better if the northerners and easterners are like our Yoruba brethren. I believe they are the ones still holding Nigeria together. Whoever wins, PDP or APC, there would be Yorubas in the government. I really don't understand the marginalisation you are talking about. A Yoruba man was president from 1999 to 2007, then speaker of the house of rep for four years, etc.

I support one Nigeria. Enough of this division.

cathodekazim:
Obj did more than this in 2003_ 2007 n 2011

PEJ took rivers hostage in 2015

Karma is indeed a bitch


Ipob pigs can cry me a river

Rivers of blood

Where is the change we voted for. In your opinion APC should continue where PDP stopped, after 16 years, PDP and will take over and continue. My dear, we the ordinary Nigerians are at the receiving end.

We need real change, whether APC or PDP.

Politicians are heartless. Just imagine.

hinwazaka:
Jagaban, na so you be. But jonathan f**k up big time.

Too much. All in the name of being a good democrat.

This should be on FP already. Nigerians are a bunch of lazy people. They don't read, otherwise they'd know the person in charge of logistics for this election.
