Is there any road construction that you know that is under construction that has been stopped? Like these> https://www.nairaland.com/8079024/list-projects-been-stopped-because

I watched a video on how dilapidated Benin-Auchi-Ekpoma federal road this morning. Wish I can share the video.

KennethOkonkwo:
You learn too much from OBI slaves and governments opposition. Always listen to the two sides to get a balance neutral view,that,if you are not an hypocrite anyway.

How many times will they tell you that FG is only patnering hi-tech to construct the road?...FG is not paying all the 15trillion.

You guys just like to swallow any rubbish as long as its against the government

If your definition of hypocrite means saying the right thing, yes I'm one. I don't care about what Obi or your master is saying. The fact remains that there are roads more important should channel that resources to. It doesn't matter if it's east, west, south or north provided that money is used in rebuilding and reconstructing existing roads that needs attention.

I mentioned a particular road that requires attention, of which I'm not even from there. But seeing what people through using that road requires that the road be given an immediate attention. That's my concern

stagger:
The funding is not coming from the FG but from a private consortium. There will be several toll plazas to enable them recover their investment and maintain the road.

"On the funding structure, Mr Umahi said the project is not a PPP but rather an Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC+) structure, which means that the federal government must produce counterpart funding."

The above submission is from premiumtimes. Even though government has tried to deny the aspect PPC, one wonders what they mean by "counterpart funding ". Again why award such contract to Hitech when we have reputable firm like Julius Berger? Well let's watch and see how things unfold.

I'm not in anyway against this project. But let's be sincere with ourselves. 15 trillion ( almost half of this year's budget) for a road construction when we have numerous roads that need to be attended to. Just watched a video of Benin-Auchi-Ekpoma federal road totally messed up.

Why not complete the dilapidated ones then we can commence a fresh project. Let's not forget that money will still be spent to compensate the existing businesses that will affected by the demolition. Why not use this money to reconstruct the uncompleted ones.

You don't tell people how to run their business. What we need is serious competition to drive down the price.

In 2face voice , "ebe like say they want to tell us another story".

Ogwo2020:
Which Universities please?
Is Umudike among them?

I don't know about Umudike because I'm yet to receive. Some staff from FUD, and I think Kogi federal University testified to that fact.

Some universities received their April salary with two months arrears.

Sholaco:
Igbo man, you and your tribe always rejoice whenever you see that Nigeria is going through some difficulty.
God will shame you all

There's nothing as bad as using one's opinion to sum the general view of a whole tribe. Go to twitter and see some Yorubas with the same view as the person you quoted. Does it mean all the Yoruba share the same sentiment. No!

Yesterday, I bought a liter of fuel for N750. Do you think I'm happy about it? BTW, what makes you to think the person you quoted is an Igbo man?

Enough of all this generalisation.

My husband has been the one enjoying all the pineapples, harvested from our garden.

Why can't I have pineapples? 😭😭



Dear Nairalanders,

Is it true that pineapples are not recommended for pregnant women?

What will happen if a pregnant woman eats just a little pineapple to quench her yearning?

It depends on your body system. My wife took lots pineapple, watermelon and oranges during her first pregnancy.

Good news! More should be done.

Richtaiwo:
Why did miscreants threaten Reno's lil daughter? Even on nairaland, if they insult you and you pay them back in same coin, they will start asking for your location so they come for a street fight. Na only dem suppose dey insult and nobody should insult dem back. Dey don jam their match in Reno. I know they are now trying to find out Reno's location so they can fight him.

He should have faced the miscreants and not Obi. He (Reno) alleged that Peter Obi never cared to admonish his supporters. But if I remember clearly, at the heat of the political campaign, he ( Peter Obi) appealed to the Obidient movement not to return or use abusive words on people. He equally made the same appeal while being interviewed at Arise TV.

Is Reno even innocent? The same Reno attacked Tinubu using all manner of derogatory words on him. Forget the eye service.

I'm glad Peter Obi never granted him that audience if not for the recent press conference that gave room for such question.

One thing I like about Tinubu is that he doesnt look their face at all. Just take look at Femi Kayode and Bwala. None is part of this present administration despite the praise singing. Who would want to work someone that can easily betray you the next day. A snake will always remain a snake.

Go and check their previous tweet, the same miscreants attacking Peter Obi were the ones praising him beforehand. That should tell you that they are angry that the emergence of Peter Obi in the last election stopped their boss - Atiku from winning election.

This war really need to stop. Hamas should release all the hostages and Israel in return should vacate Gaza immediately.

Stayingalive:
Until corrupt politicians are given capital punishment. Nothing can ever be good.

True

The same money will still be returned to the state. Unfortunately, I don't trust the present governor. What's the guarantee that he will not usurp the fund or possibly return it to the former governor since na him godfather.

fuckJones:
Peter Obi made a good statement by saying that, "Building new schools when the old ones are in shambles is just like building coastal road,when internal roads are in shambles"; But that's the same as running for presidency in an attempt to fix Nigeria, when Anambra State has n¤t been liberated.

You copied Daniel Regha twitter post without giving credit to him.

I get it. But it's not everyone that has the energy to type especially if what need to be typed are many. The VN makes it easier for some.

BALLOSKI:
"If she failed to...they'd have scammed"

I was reacting to the experience of the person I quoted. Yea, "she and they". The attendant is she and those ( 3 persons) who scammed her came with a bike". It is not the story I narrated rather the one of the person I quoted.

joseph1832:
which bank POS is she using?

Moniepoint

fitinwell:
This story is not true..

You failed to mention the type of Pos Terminal u re using..

When it says Successful.. didn't you check your Balance...?

Some terminal cannot allow you to change the Value u want to Withdraw, because if you try to go back ... The Pos will re validate your ATM card..

Anyway sha... If you are a Novice not too smart with gadgets.

Even some people don't know how to use there iphones ,smart phones..

These are the set of people , that are easily scammed.

Moniepoint. Is there need to check your account balance if the display says "withdrawal approved ". Something prompted her to check the transaction history which I explained earlier but there was no trace of the 20,000. Someone in the comments said the problem could be attributed zo network glitch. She said she had once had experience challenge before. The machine may display successful but in reality it's not due to network glitch.

Bluntguy:
I was told yesterday evening that half cup was 150. Omo, I kukuma carry my 300 go buy three wraps of fufu instead of one cup of garri at 300. You see garri eh, her father.

In Umuahia, two wraps of fufu is now 250.

NoSmoking:
Where did the transaction sucessful come from then?

And since she said, first bank had no network, how did he exceed his limit on her machine then?

The story is faulty

That's the question. The transaction was successful but there's no trace of that N20,000 in the transaction history. The second customer couldn't make any withdrawal because of network challenges. But both the first and second customer make use of the same of bank, so how come the first transaction was successful. That was prompted her to check the transaction history and there's no trace of the money but there's a statement linked to the first customer in the transaction history "limit exceeded". If the limited has been exceeded, what happened? Was the machine manipulated? Well, like someone pointed out earlier, it could be due to network glitch. On the screen the transaction is successful, but in reality it's no so. If that's the case, who should take the blame? The attendant, customer or the bank?

No wonder when she checked her transaction history what she saw was "limit exceeded". Thank you for the information.

There are few POS attendants that have had this issue.
The transfer will be successful but won't reflect in the POS.
The man innocently purchased the boxers thinking the transfer was successful.
What do people do with money?
Is it not to buy stuffs?

Not all Nigerians will honestly return money that's not supposed to be theirs.
He would have come back to explain to the girl that he wasn't debited.

Guess the POS attendant didn't know that you have to check your wallet first before releasing cash.
It wasn't a dupe case but Network error, some call it network glitch.

Tijani009:
Palmpay does not say successful on successful transactions on the screen it just says e receipts or print receipt

Its moniepoint and not palmpay

RevenuesBoost:
Let me tell you what happened?

It has happened to someone I know.
Since that day, he doesn't let a customer go if he hasn't checked the account statement of the POS.

It's network issue

Always confirm that the payment has entered the POS before releasing cash.

She wasn't duped, it was a network error.

I'm only sad that the customer will not come back to return the money, or tell the POS attendant that they weren't debited.

To a large extent, I agree with you. What about the part the customer bought boxers worth N3000 from the woman? I know it sounds somehow asking this question. But for me, i see it as indirectly mocking her knowing fully well you've 'duped' her.

Randomgist:
It seems the woman doesn't understand her machine, the story no go well

What's there not to understand. Someone came to make a cash withdrawal, it was successful based on the information on the screen. But there's no trace of that N20,000 in the POS transaction history. That means the transaction was not successful. The only information concerning that particular card is "limit already exceeded". So, how is that possible? According to the woman, she has never had this kind of experience before. The essence of this post is for us to be careful especially for businesses that make use POS for their transactions.

Sultty:
who's the POS machine vendor. Because the card could be traced to get the thieve

The POS machine belongs to the attendant. I doubt if she has the experience to go to that extent.

In addition to juju, some of them usually apply engine oil or slippery liquid so that they can't be caught. With the slippery liquid applied on their body, it is difficult sometimes to catch them. I remember one incident that happened to one of our neighbours. They were in their various rooms when a criminal sneaked through the parlour door (naked) to steal their television. Unfortunately for the thief, the TV hanger didn't allow him to remove the TV quickly. Just then, the elder son of the man coming out from the room , stumbled on the thief and raised an alarm immediately. He managed to grabbed the thief on his hand but because of the slippery oil he applied on his body he was able to escape.

This incident happened like five or six years ago.

Damian911:
You're right
His cock and bull story is invalid!

Probably it happened but couldn't get the explanation clearly from the attendant. Few days ago, there was similar story that made it at the front page of nairaland.

If you are a POS attendant, or your business requires the use of POS for transactions just be very careful. Lots of criminals are moving around looking for whom to defraud.

chopnaira:
That's why he was rejected by majority of Nigerians during the last election. Majority do not believe in his ideology of instability, mediocrity, religious bigotry, tribal bigotry, and the emergency usage of the special purpose vehicle called LP lol.

He wasn't rejected by the majority. Certain Nigerian factors worked against him.
For instance, if not for manipulation of results by Wike, he would have won River state by landslide.

nifemi25:
It seems this is the new scam in town now... They almost scammed a POS agent closer to my house yesterday.... As the lady told us... She said they are 3 in number on the bike... The two at the back came down to meet the pos agent while the bike man was sitting on the bike... She said the guy wanted to withdraw 51000k including the 1k charges.. the pos agent press 5he 51k on the terminal while she handed the terminal to the guy to press his pin for 5he transaction to be finalized.... This guy just removed one of the four zeros the lady typed on the pos to make it 5100.... He then press the pin and the transaction was successful and writing on the screen.... Most of the machines like opay and monie point doesnt display the amount after successful transaction.... It will only write successful on the screen.... The lady just went straight to the transaction on his own opay app to check and that's when she found out it was 5100 and not 51000.... Immediately those guys knew what was going on... They couldn't wait to collect 5he card and the said cash.... They ran with the bike man

Hmmm. In other words, if she had failed to check the transaction history, they wouldn't have scammed her.
