Na wah o. The EFCC should make sure this case is prosecuted diligently and recoveries made.

Where is the picture? I still think the army used excessive force even though the sect was wrong in blocking public road.

Why are some Nigerian students daft and violent? You complain of insufficient amenities and facilities and destroy the little you have. God have mercy on us.

He was granted bail and probably arrested for another offence outside that which he was granted bail. He had to be dragged into the bus because he resisted arrest.

But we knew that. Buhari's bullet proof car that was bombed was provided by the government. I guess it was replaced by the government then. It is one of the benefits provided to ex-presidents.

Good news. Subsidy needs to go so we can face other problems.

This is not justice. 10 years for murder? and no compensation for the victims family?

Food is ready.

Good job @OP. This needs to be investigated further. The government needs to explain what really happened.

What's with our people and stripping people unclad?
Besides which law did he break?
Is it a crime to practice two religions at once?

However inappropriate his actions seem to them, it isn't their place to 'punish' him. Pfft

Good question. His offense may be deception but that does not warrant this type of assault. The culprits need to be arrested and prosecuted.

I feel your friends pain. It is not easy to be away from one's family especially when kids are involved. He should weigh his options carefully. Is it possible for him to be redeployed to the office? Is his wife employed? in case his business slows down they can have something to fall back on.

Chomsky1967:
Yes, in Ray field, bukuru and environs in jos, they are connected to NESCO, 247 electricity and they are notified before any blackout and it doesn't take hours before it is restored

Yes that's the name of the company. Thanks for the information.

sunnyb0b0:
Bonny, Rivers state is the only place in Nigeria you'd have 24/7 electricity.

I heard of a place in Jos, plateau state where there is constant power supply as the residents are connected to a private power supply company. I have forgotten the name of the company, but apparently they have been in business for a few years.

sarcasm. I hope my country men and women will understand the meaning of accountability.

Why was the money paid in dollars?

What is wrong with us?

Firefire:
As much as I agreed with your line of thought, I want to ask you, how much more or low will Naira exchange for USD before it is deemed to be at "appropriate level of market forces" ?

FG was subsidizing Naira at 155/$ as of Oct. 2014, before the devaluation of about 27% at current rate of 197/$.

Yet, Naira keep depreciating, don't you feel the government need to Re-approach her existing monetary policies ?

\
The simple answer is I don't know. But I know the slide is temporary and due to current low oil prices and our failure to plan for times like this. China is also devaluing her currency to stay competitive but there is a limit.

Firefire:
I was charged 225N / USD today for international online transaction .


We are getting closer to Dangote's prediction of 500/$.


May God deliver Nigeria and Nigerians.

lMaybe not that low, but I think the government should allow the naira to drop to the appropriate level based on market forces as seen on the parallel market rather than defend the naira at N197 to the dollar. Our low reserves will not support the naira at the current rate for long. Nigeria should start diversifying the economy to earn more foreign exchange in the face of low oil prices.

AmNotADullard:
Plenty of thanks to you sir,
Intellectually, I am far of better than so many of my peers, I read lots of things, articles, whereas they limit themselves to just 'chatting', but then, if in exams things still get awful, what use is my intellect, I figured my reading technique long long ago, and have been 'upgrading' poco a poco it, but still...nothing seems to be happening. My last semester, I have never deprived myself of such amount of sleep in my life, but still people that didn't read in my own view are performing better.

In addition to what you are currently doing, also try to understand what each lecturer wants. Learn what the "style" of the lecturer is, ask those ahead of you what some lecturers require (beware of negative comments and concentrate on how to get the best out of the lecturer no matter how wicked people say he/she is). Sometimes it is not so much about knowing something but presenting the way the lecturer wants. Your performance may also be affected by your depression. You need to take your mind off your problems. Go out more, make a few friends, socialise more, become more involved in fellowship.

nairalander2015:
Good day nairaland.
As I write this... I am depressed, simply depressed.. If suicide led to heaven mayb i would have been a victim.
Truly itz nt everyone who smiles that is happy.
MY story
I was born into a deeper life family 20yrs ago.. And I can say i regret being born into deeper life.. I would ave preferred been converted there than being born there.
My travails started in secondary school.. Wen i failed to attend a fellowship, my mum talked harshly, slapped me an said i was a dishes disgrace.. Just because i failed to attend a school fellowship.. And I knew that I wasn't a bad kid.. Jes the gentle type.. Since then it has been bad... When others celebrate their mum.. I can't.. I am as far from my parents as anything.. Jes because they are deeperlifers.. I can't seat comfortably with my parents.. Cos of principles. Next was the battle concerning trousers.. She woke me up one black night with a thundering slap over a slim trouser.. Imagine dat was @16.. I cried and cried dat day.. Dat God made a mistake borning me in deeper life... Jes because i walked with a girl.. She banned me from going out..
Even at a young age... Threatened me that she"ll disown me if I marry a lady who wears wigs, trousers.. Omg.. Now.. I am in the university.. I never want to go home. I hate home.. I am depressed.. So so depressed.. My dad didn't send me any cash for a month cos a friend told him I failed to attend a midweek service.. Imagine.. Yet i am not rebellious. I know fellow guys like me who had big problems with their children but they were rebellious.. But i am not
I feel depressed writing this.. Spirituality without love is a disaster.. Aw i wish i wasn't born to a deeper life's family.. Itz a curse.. I am tired.. Itz threat all the time. I am not close to my parents.. Imagine.. Seems i should just die.. I now see my mum as a enemy.. Anytime i see her i am sad.. Talks too much about simple things in a bad manner quoting Bible over needless things.. Watching ball outside is a sin.. Visiting friends is a nono.. Cos they are highly placed in the church.. Yet no one to share my burdens with.. So sad... Yet they think i am happy..i know many out there experience something similar but are helples.. Oh God have mercy on me.. Itz calamitous to be the child of a fanatic especially if you don't wanna be a fanatic also.... Advice pls.. What can I do? So so depressed.. Feel like dieing to be reborn elsewhere

Are you sure you are in the university? I could barely read and understand what you wrote up there.

MadCow1:
Thanks..


I don update my CV dey wait for when Oil prices pick up and the recruitment process kicks off again.

I see the trend in the industry as a blessing in disguise for people like me wey still dey road dey face the Permanent site.

I work in the industry too and it is not looking good at the moment. My company is doing better than the completion mainly because the bulk of our clients are based in the Middle East where production costs are lower and investments are still being made (at a reduced level). Even so they are laying off some admin staff.

MadCow1:
Lol..

I don't work for Oando.

However, I have been well aware of the mass sacking prevailing in the Industry.

No wahala. Wish you the best.

Madcow1 hope you were not affected?

zibi2:
We would like you to come to our aid and intervene in the situation in a spirit of solidarity. What we demand in addition to addressing the highlighted issues are:

OER to render an unreserved apology to affected staff for treating them with indignity;
That the severance package be reviewed to an amount obtainable in companies that have retrenched staff recently especially where the staff are unionized. At least four years’ gross pay would be acceptable;
OER to agree in writing that, should oil price return to at least $50/bbl, the affected staff who are still available would be reinstated since performance was not the basis for the pruning down exercise;
OER to maintain benefits due to staff throughout their search for another job;
OER to promise in writing not to victimise staff once the business fortunes reverse and staff are to be reabsorbed;
PENGASSAN to mandate OER to establish Union in the organization;

Most of these demands are not realistic especially for a company like Oando. They have not done this exercise the proper way but you cannot ask them to retain your services when they do not have the means to support it. Would you rather work for free? Because if they start owing you salaries now you will be the first to complain. But the compensation should be higher. They could have also given the staff an option of pay cut.

Wow. The national assembly needs to pass a law on how companies can conduct redundancies like this. The businesses are there to make profit but must do so with a human face. In the UK for example "If your employer is planning to make 20 or more employees redundant within a 90-day period, your trade union, or elected employee representative if you don't have a union, should be consulted before anyone is given notice." Additionally, the government pays a stipend to employees that qualify even though it is not compulsory for the employer to pay. Nigeria can have something similar that compels employers to pay severance packages to employees who are made redundant for no fault of theirs and to give adequate notice so that you don't just wake up one morning to find out that your job is gone. They should at least give you time to plan for the immediate future.

Some will say victory for democracy while some will say the judiciary is corrupt.

When contacted, the Kubwa Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent Nurrudeen Sabo, confirmed the case, saying the member of the church who intervened on behalf of the pastor has been arrested and would be charged to court . He, however, said efforts were on to arrest the pastor.

Charged to court for what? What offence has he committed?

Acidosis:
A white man that smokes?

No, the principal. Never saw him smoke.

Acidosis:
Wow! My Dad's classmate in Minna many years ago.

My dad equally retired from service some 3-4 years ago.


Congrats Sir.

So your dad attended GSS? Did he gist you about Father O'Connel?

Sisiedo:
The responsibilties here, is for the embarrassment (as stated in their letter) my misrepresentation caused.




The full details of what happened was clearly stated and I accepted my fault.

I'd adhere to your advice and humble myself.

The letter have been served. I know they will not go back on their decision because my issue gives them sleepless night. They're are constantly on my case.


Thanks for your contribution. I feel a little better.

They should deduct from those over paid and credit those underpaid. Is that difficult? For those who may have left the company, the bank can be asked for a reversal. If you are responsible for preparing the payroll, this you can easily do right? More so I do not think you will have a lot of discrepancies for most of the staff.

Farnsworth:
For instance, Donald Trump said that vaccines can cause autism and instead of correcting Trump, he accepted it, that is false information and he as a doctor knows that, but in the name of politics, he betrays scientific facts.

Depends on which research you accept. That is the difference between the advanced world and third world. They are open to new ideas and information.
You just can say that the information is wrong outrightly without looking at it from his perspective.
