So as a man, what are you bringing to the table?

Someone above me has answered your question

AKWATGOLD1:
You never ready to marry with all these conditions.

Trust me there are women out there who meet such standards. Maybe very few Nigerian girls but there ar women

The last thing a man should do is to marry any woman out of pity.

Before marrying any woman, they should be no loopholes of Compromise.

All standards must be well checked and intact.

All protocol and principle must be duly observed.

She must enrol through the proper screening for validation test.

Failure to comply, she's must be thrown into the streets.

If she fails any single part of the screening, she still goes back to the streets.

No second thought, chance or consideration.

Your requirements as a man must be met by her.

1) Young, fresh and below 33+. But if she's 33+ she must come with the trinity(abroad papers, political connections and economical empowerment).

2)Her ultimate submission, respect and loyalty is not and can never be negotiable, she must be willing and ever happily ready to give it at all time 100%.

3)Her past must be holy and not hoe-ly, after judging her harshly by her past, if her past is as evul as the devil. She's to be dismissed back to the street.

4) If she's a single mum. Abort mission and fling her to the ocean.

5) If she has a high body count, has done olosho job before... Marriage is a mission impossible. Pipe and discard.

6) She must be hard working, with good family moral values, resourceful, accommodative, teachable and will not see motherhood as slavery.

Most importantly,

7) if she's Feminist, Cast her too the lake of fire.

Throwing her back to the street is risky for other innocent men.

This is a clear portrait of the credentials/Resume that she must be willing to drop on the table for your proper assessment before giving her a ring/ your marital job.

If she falls short of those standards, she will be a great liability for you.

Remember, the woman you marry will either build your life or destroy what you have spent years building alone.

Be ruthless when vetting her.

Stay dangerously wicked.

I'm just wondering if this court has jurisdiction over a matter concerning the local government of a state. Whoever advised this plaintiff is outrightly stupid with the plaintiff himself

cr7lomo:
The truth is that Nigerians are too sentimental towards their own , even if their own dont deserve it , they start to insult others ...reason we are so hated , especially in Africa... lookman only won Europa , but Hakimi won 3 trophies and also bronze in the Olympics... if atalanta wins serie A, he will then have a chance , just that Jackson of Chelsea will also make a case if he also wins the premiership... or if salah wins the premiership and champions league, then hit will be for salah

Please don't mention that Jackson guy here. I'm never seen a guy as useless as that player. Hakimi obviously deserves it

Kobojunkie:
In this 2024? 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

I was shocked myself. We saw travelling to Lagos to deal with the matter as a second option, in which case that'd definitely be around March next year. But I'm surprised that for a serious crime as fraud involving a company, that the Nigerian police would say such. Like there are no means of communicating or collaborating with those in Lagos to prosecute this company and it's staff.

Kobojunkie:
The Nigerian Police Force is a federal agency. I don't see why you should be unable to walk into any police station and file a charge against the company in question to begin an investigation and possible prosecution.

I went to a police station here in PH and they say we'd have to travel to Lagos to do that which is quite inconveniencing because of my busy job. I was wondering if there are any other means of sorting this out without having to travel to Lagos because the next time we'd personally be free to travel to Lagos to commence a case against the staff and the company would be March next year.

Hi. Please how do I contact the Nigerian police or relevant agencies over a case of fraud committed in another state. I'm currently based in Port Harcourt with my client but I want to report a case of fraud against the staff of a shipping and logistics company (Redstar express) based in Lagos. Their staff committed a case of fraud against my client. The company customer service were officially informed with evidence of the fraud committed by their staff but they refused to take action against their staff to return the money of the victim.

I saw this on an Instagram page, verbatim. Hope you acknowledged the original writer of this

This dance is devilish. Let's not justify sin. For those justifying her actions saying dance is dance, it means a girl can squeeze her breasts while dancing or I can hold my private part while dancing and there'd be nothing wrong with that, afterall it's just a dance according to you.
Bottom line is that, whatever is done, whether dancing or singing must glorify God and edify the people around you, not lead them to sin.

Makunahatata:
no be wetin kill d game... Everton came with a defensive master class and den no use 1 min loose focus or get too excited to loose shape

Same Everton that more serious minded teams like Liverpool and Chelsea thrashed? You have to tell yourself the truth, Arteta has nothing to offer, I kept telling you. And the arsenal squad are a bunch of average players probably except saka, odegard, martinelli and Raya.
If I were to be made owner of Arsenal, the very first thing I'd do first minute is to sack Arteta and overhaul that squad and bring in players who are constantly hungry for success. That's what Abramovich did to Chelsea. If you watched Liverpool play today, they were down to 10 men for most of the match against a strong Fulham side, but yet you could still see that hunger in them not just to settle for a draw but to win the game. Consistency matters if one is to win that league and sadly, this arsenal team lacks it

ozo13:
Try and watch both sides of the argument.
Arise TV (Rufai/Abati/??) interviewed both side to give an account of what really transpired.they are on YouTube.
They can approach the court to address It if they got proper documentation.
Abati and Rufai kept asking if legal option will be entertained, the response they gave says it all.

I have watched all the interviews. There are several pertinent questions here. First, why revoke a land without sufficient notice and worse still, immediately sell that same land to your crony Chinda, without following due process? This shows there's something fishy and corrupt going on.
Secondly, even if you were to revoke the land and resell it, the family who had owned and lived in it should have had the right of first refusal for equity and fairness. They should have first been offered the option of renewing whatever is lacking or buying back the land first before anyone else.
Thirdly, Why hurriedly dash the land Under shady circumstances to a party who is obviously your boy.
Fourth, on the issue of going to court. Let's be practical here. Nigeria's judicial system is dead. You want them to go and seek justice from the same courts that are controlled by wike? If you were in their shoes, would you bother wasting your money filing a case against wike who has all the judges in his pockets? Fifth, you think investors who think of investing in Abuja are not watching. You think these actions of lawlessly grabbing lands by wike would encourage them to go into Abuja to invest? We need to be logical in all these.
I really don't like the direction this country is going. The country is drifting into anarchy.

jimmyolasun:
Swiss

How does one open a Swiss account? How do I go about it

jimmyolasun:
Take it offshore.

Which countries are best

Sincerely I don't know what girls have turned into in this generation. Such abominable things which I never heard during the generation of my parents and my earlier years in this world have now become rampant and common thing! What would make a girl do such a stupid thing? It's disheartening what this generation has turned into

I hope they didn't cut her hair for diabolical stuffs. The world is wicked. The parents ought to investigate this properly

ogaemma:
Is it constitutional to redeploy his deputy?
I thought both of them were voted into office with the same ticket.
This is the first time am hearing such that a deputy governor was redeploy to other ministry.
Please constitutional lawyers in the house, what is your take on this ?

Exactly, I'm wondering whether that's constitutional. I'm thinking it might be a typographical error or something. Maybe they meant deputy chief of staff

You shouldn't feel sorry for your guy. Even though he was stupid to have reunited with a disloyal girl he broke up, he's actually been liberated. You should rather feel sorry for the guy that eventually married her.

PRINCESSFCFANSs:
there could be a mistake some where ,


the print out could be small ,

the place he stood could be dark for him to see the paper properly ,

or if it is hand writing , he may not see the writing properly' ,


it could also be that the people working for him ,has been paid by his enemies to do some things against his reading for the day,



Princess FaithChukwu

Please stop justifying nonsense! Isn't it his job to go through the budget prepared by various ministries and parastatals and make adjustments where necessary before presentation to the assembly as chief executive officer of the state? Or are you telling me that some outside force would just formulate any amount and add to the budget and just give him to read in the assembly? Then what exactly is his job as governor of he doesn't know something as simple as the annual budget for his state?

immortalcrown:
Then, a woman should not accept a man for marriage until he shows genuine love.

Submission in marriage is unconditional unless you are mad

You're an embodiment of wisdom. Oil dey your head

Xammie001:
Ahhhhhhhyh
Who did this to us, People like you still dey exist, Them buy fuel from foreign contry with Money you talk say them go embezzle am.
Nigeria no fit progress until people like you are no more trust me on this.
You no sabi anything at allm, we need to probe your certificate asap

You don't even get the point in the first place so no need responding to your statement

NOETHNICITY:
Imagine the 9trillion of pms imported into the country will be no more

The problem is even if this money is saved, it's still the pockets of the politicians it will get into instead of being used to develop the country. Nigeria's problem is corruption. Once these corrupt politicians are killed and institutions are truly independent and strict capital punishment is laid out for embezzlement, you'd see how this country will blossom

ebubeson:
Write your own now. Didnt you see it is fiction? I have corrected it.

You're a good man! Make it three weeks before wedding.
I am a professional creative fiction writer and have written over 6 fiction novels. They're on the internet for you to search, sold on Amazon and other online portals and published by reputable traditional publishers. So you now understand what I'm talking about.

elmagnifico411:
can’t u just read and pass? After all it’s not a true story. You people sha like showing yourselves that you’re well informed. Meanwhile, leave those research u u did via google, pregnancy fit happen in a week. Nigerians go just dey do like sey them too know everything.

The point is craft stories to make them believable. That's what makes the reader interested in reading it in the first place! Writing is not for everyone, it's a skill which must be mastered. I can't even read up to one quarter of a story that lacks sensible creativity. The moment I got to that point where he talked about pregnancy being detected in less than a week, I stopped reading.

Lol this your story was not properly crafted. It takes at least 14 to 21 days after sexual intercourse for pregnancy to be detected even with the best test kits available. Meanwhile your Mirabel had sex with Akindele a week to her wedding and in less than 1 week (7 days) from the sexual encounter she was confirmed pregnant? Please next time use common sense to craft a story so it doesn't end up making you look stupid. You should have done your research well on sex and pregnancy before making this post lol

LandMann:
There's no way Tinubu's going to win 2027 election if he remains as president till then.

Tinubu's administration has been nothing but disastrous over the past two years, plunging three generations of Nigerians into poverty through severe economic mismanagement and high level corruption.

Tinubu can do everything to crumble the opposition but he's definitely not returning as president of Nigeria.

I pity you. You're talking as if Nigeria has a credible electoral process lol. Did Tinubu even win last election? The point is, your rantings and those of Nigerians don't matter because elections don't hold in Nigeria. It's selection. Except God intervenes I don't see Tinubu losing 2027

Marc3500:
he wasn't talking about the coaches u mentioned he was talking about RVN and Michael carrick
And also Mourinho deserved more time at man UTD

Even RVN would have eventually flopped. The guy lacks experience. His few games with man utd weren't convincing enough to show the team was good enough to compete at the top level. He was just like the other coaches...they start very well and win initial games and eventually flop when it matters most. ETH started very well, Even better than RVN. Same with Mourinho and Solskjaer. But towards the important stages of the league, they flopped.
I actually think the coach they should have given more time was Mourinho and maybe, maybe Solskjaer. I didn't see man utd going far with an inexperienced RVN in charge

Angelfrost:
I get what you're saying, but that was always going to be short term.

Besides, Arteta didn't have it all rosy. His first two seasons were dreadful.

You say players were happy and willing to play for him, so what happens when they gang up against him?!! Especially after one or two negative results which are inevitable?


Amorim hire is for the future. There can be no quick fixes.... Mistakes and issues will arise till the system gets fixed in place.

You fans need to quit hunting for sharp sharp results... They are not feasible, and certainly not sustainable without a solid foundation.

At least the coach immediately put in place a new system that is taking shape... With time it will become stable, and the team will be stronger.

Look at City, did Pep's players also turn against him suddenly?!! Should he also be sacked and a coach that shines teeth with players, hired?!!

Even Maresca who has been here since start of preseason hasn't fully gotten it right.

What magic do you want a coach who has only spent a month with inherited average players to do?!!


Meanwhile, let's see the magic RVN does with Leicester... I feel he is a better fit there, where the pressure is far less.

Lol you said same thing for ETH, Mourinho, David Moyes. Give them more time they said, but season in, season out, they flopped

DeLaRue:
It is easy to be a CBN Governor when times are good ala Messrs Soludo and Sanusi.

No Nigerian CBN Governor in the last 50 years has faced the difficult economic circumstances that Mr Cardoso has faced since he was appointed.

He may not have the bravado of some previous CBN Governors, but he has quietly proven himself as being super competent.

If you doubt me, ask Turkey.

As Turkey's currency has faced very turbulent times in recent years, the country has tried more than 4 central bank Governors in less than 3 years, yet their currency is still in rhe doldrums.

You mean economic circumstances that he created himself by poor policies? They created the problem so they should solve it, simple. The statement should rather be that no CBN Governor has ever created such catastrophic problems for the Nigerian economy than current one. At least he should make the economy and naira to dollar the way Buhari left it and we'd be okay. From blaming binance and crypto to other facade, he's still doing trial and error. Even emefiele was not ths bad. As someone rightly pointed out, this is seasonal. We remember how naira appreciated to almost 900 to a dollar from 1600 late last year and people were hailing him not knowing it was a seasonal thing until the naira plummeted to it's current state. We must tell ourselves the truth... this government is clueless and approaching it the wrong way. The soludo and Sanusi you referenced met the naira at certain levels and stabilised it before leaving. While your so called CBN Governor met it at about 600 and today it's over 1750 and you celebrating crap that he's performing lol

But they never said this to Buhari. Bunch of hypocrites!

Emmitext89:
I've never boarded a flight or been to the airport. God when?

Very soon, amen!

Travelling abroad for tourism has become increasingly difficult for Nigerians due to stricter visa requirements imposed by various countries.

Whilst not being specific on why stringent e-visa requirements are put in place, such measures, no doubt have caused several Nigerians loss of income and opportunities and valuable time.

One country that is presently in the eye of the storm for allegedly putting in place such measures, is Ethiopia.

Recently, its embassy faced accusations of defrauding Nigerian travellers by accepting payments for e-visas without issuing them or making refunds.The travellers accused the Ethiopian embassy of being “deceptive” for not informing them that online visa applications had been scrapped, yet applications on the embassy’s official website continued without any indication that Nigerians were no longer eligible for e-visas.

Sunday PUNCH learnt that after the visa application portal receives payment from visa applicants, it leaves them stranded, thus, defeating the purpose of the application.

Angered by the development, some of those affected spoke with Sunday PUNCH while others took to social media platforms to vent their frustration.
No notification was given by the embassy that it had stopped issuing e-visas to Nigerian passport holders.

Travellers’ ordeals

One of the affected victims, who preferred to be identified only as Adventures of Ijoba, while speaking with our correspondent, alleged that despite being debited several times for an application and reaching out to the visa support group, he had yet to receive a refund since February.

Sharing his experience with our correspondent, the budding travel blogger narrated how he spent $247 to apply for Ethiopian e-visas and was yet to receive it.

He said, “I’m a new travel vlogger and planned to visit Ethiopia and Tanzania earlier this year. According to the information provided on their official website and IATA guidelines, I tried to apply for an e-visa on their e-visa portal but was unable to pay for days.“I sent an email regarding the challenge with payment, and their support team, who responded to my query, told me to continue trying because everything was good from their end.

“I eventually got someone to use his UK debit card to pay for me. After multiple attempts, the payment eventually went through, and I was even debited twice for one application. I appealed for a refund for the erroneous debit on the platform but my emails were never responded to.”Continuing, the travel blogger said normally, the e-visa should take a few days or a couple of weeks at most to be issued, but he waited in vain.

Adventures of Ijoba said he paid $82 and another $164, which included the double debit, making a total of $246, adding that six months after that experience, he had yet to receive a refund, nor issued an e-visa.

He said, “When it was about two weeks to my departure date, I had to travel to the Ethiopian embassy in Abuja to complain. The Ethiopian embassy’s representative informed me that e-visas had been discontinued for Nigerians. I asked for a refund and was told that the platform is managed by a different department and they could not assist me with that.”

Like Adventures of Ijoba, a foremost tech expert, Victor Asemota, suffered a similar fate.

Using his handle, @asemota, on X.com, while narrating his torturous experience on July 25, he said he spent $82 while applying for an Ethiopian e-visa, but never got to receive it.

He wrote, “What is really the problem between Ethiopia and Nigeria? They just let me waste another $82 on a visa they knew they were not going to issue. This is fraudulent, and they should refund it.

“If you are not issuing visas to Nigerians, say it openly without fear instead of taking our money and doing nothing. This is a 419 scam by the whole country.”
Another handle, @jime_marvel, while sharing her experience on X.com, said, “They took my money last year and had zero communication.”

Also commenting on the development, another user, @folucomms, responded by saying, “Ethiopia won’t respond to you if you pay for a visa online as a Nigerian, and they don’t refund (I hope this changes soon). To get an ET, you need to go to their embassy.

“If you’re going for any official reasons, make sure you request a note verbale from those you’re going to meet with. With a note verbale, you can get a visa on arrival for about $200.”

This was also confirmed by several travel agents who spoke with Sunday PUNCH. They stated that Ethiopia visa applications must be done physically at the embassy in Abuja.
Ethiopian Visa Problem

In late September 2022, the Ethiopian embassy in Abuja imposed a new restriction on Nigerian travellers.

It announced that it was scrapping its visa-on-arrival policy for Nigeria and 41 other countries.
The Ethiopian embassy advised travellers to either procure their visa from the embassy in Abuja or apply for an e-visa through the country’s Immigration and Citizenship Service portal.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Francisca Omayuli, in a statement, said, “Nigerians bearing standard passports intending to travel to Ethiopia are advised to obtain appropriate entry visas at the Ethiopian Embassy or an electronic visa through the country’s Immigration and Citizenship Service portal at www.evisa.gov.et.

“Also, those transiting through Bole International Airport, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to other destinations or intending to briefly stop over would require a valid entry visa to access hotel facilities in the city or would be obligated to remain in the airport pending their connecting flight.”

Speaking on the development then, the Ethiopian Airlines’ traffic and sales manager, Senait Ataklet, clarified to an online platform, The Cable, that the new development was not a ban but a replacement of the visa-on-arrival policy with the online visa application.

The manager said, “The information I have is that it’s not a ban on arrival visas, but you know just like a Nigerian requesting, they need an online form to be filled out before departure for an on-arrival visa. Even though it’s an arrival visa, you need to fill out an online form.

“Before, anybody could just go without applying, but when Ethiopians come to Nigeria, they need to fill out the online form on arrival. That’s the agreement, that’s what they are telling me now. They need to fill out an online visa-on-arrival requisition form.”

Currently, the Nigerian passport is placed 92nd with access to 45 countries, either with e-visa access or visa on arrival, according to the Henley and Partners official passport index of August 2024.
While Ethiopia is still among the countries listed as e-visa applicable, the experience of Nigerians in recent times has been different.

Almost two years into the new visa policy, Nigerian travellers who used to seamlessly apply for e-visas and receive them have found that while their applications and payments go through, they are not issued visas.

Disturbing Discovery

Checks by our correspondent on the official application site of the Ethiopian embassy found no information alerting Nigerians to the fact that they can no longer apply for e-visas.

Before proceeding with the application, among the compulsory terms and conditions to be accepted was that all payments are non-refundable and are also handled by the Ethiopian Airlines Group.
Furthermore, the site indicated countries where it would not accept payment.

The terms and conditions stated that credit card payments originating from Cuba, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, North Korea, Afghanistan, South Sudan, the Crimea region of Ukraine, and the Syrian Arab Republic were not accepted, effective November 18, 2020.
Meanwhile, there was still no mention of Nigeria being exempted from this list.

An attempt by our correspondent to apply for a visa went through successfully without any hitch or notification to officially inform her of the unannounced e-visa application restriction on Nigerian passport holders.

Checks on the International Air Transport Association website, an international trade body representing some 240 airlines comprising 84 per cent of total air traffic, which provides accurate up-to-date information on international travel requirements and restrictions for countries, showed that visas could be obtained before departure on the official Ethiopian government website – https://www.evisa.gov.et/ and that travellers must have a printed visa approval before departure.

Sifting through the Ethiopian Embassy’s official Facebook handle, the X handle of the Ethiopian Embassy in Abuja and the @EthioEmbassyNG website, our correspondent observed that no notification was given for the recent restrictions for Nigerian travellers.

Furthermore, emails sent to the address listed on their Facebook handle on July 26 and 30, respectively, have not yet been replied to.

The same goes for the visa support email address to which another mail was sent.But this has not been the experience of Nigerian travellers, who bemoaned the silent treatment mete out to them by the embassy after payments were made, yet no visa was issued or refund made.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amb Eche Abu-Obe, when contacted about the alleged fraudulent discovery linked to the Ethiopian embassy, via text message, said, “This has to be clarified from the Consular section first.”
