PoliticsRe: Shehui Sanni Reacts To Atiku's Plan To Sell 90% Of NNPC If Elected by ekoboy: 12:58pm On Nov 17, 2018
efighter:
Please what did we achieve from the companies that Atikuloot sold to his cronies, friends and family who were just fronting for him when he was VP? Atikuloot should go and sell his grandchlldren. Below are few of the companies.

Nigerian Airways
NICON Insurance
African Petroleum
NEPA
Eleme Petrochemical Company
NITEL - sold to Atikuloot company, later resold to Goatluck's friend Mr. Ayeni
Delta Steel Company
Unipetrol
National Oil
Ashaka Cement
WAPCO
CCNN - Cement Company of Northern Nigeria
BCC Calabar Cement
Capital Hotel, Abuja (Abuja Sheraton);
Festac ’77
Nigerian Hotels Limited (now Southern Sun, Ikoyi)
Nigerian Hotels (Caterers’ Court, Ikoyi), Nigerian Hotels (House 8 & 9 Lees Road, Ikoyi) and Nigerian Hotels (Audit Section, Ikoyi)”
Eleme Petrochemical is one of the most profitable companies in Nigeria today with a 99% up time. Apart from paying tax, Nigerian govt also a percentage and lastly the Nigerian tax payers money oil money is not regularly being used for expensive and ineffective turn around maintenance. ALL the plastic that Nigeria uses is obtained from that company. If only the petroleum refineries were sold or dashed out, they won't be moribund and costing ýou to pay their salaries. Think for a moment the number of staff at the 3 refineries with regular fat pay, promotions and end of year bonuses fully paid. Government is not responsible enough to run business in Nigeria so let's save the stress. NLNG remains one of the best run govt asset and so because it's not operated by government.
Tired of typing, would have given you more examples. Summary is history and record shows that Nigeria govt, cannot run business.

Why can't these ladies takecare of their babies, especially since they weren't kids or saints when they got pregnant and fully knew wat they were getting into.

I can only understand for his 1st baby mama shola cos I think she was a student and he was her 1st. Sadly there's nothing like child support im africa its based on discretion.
Discretion to take care of your own child. Discretion to also spend time with your child?

I think i need to address this silly and childish false allegation

I have been here for 8yrs with this ID and anybody that frequent this section knows that i don't need another ID to say anything different.

Why do i need 2 IDs to post something in a section i have been moderating since 2012?

Don't you think its silly and quiet frankly ridiculous to suggest that i will be operating 2 IDs, with one calming to live and work in USA and another claiming to live and work in the UK? Does that make any bloody sense to any of you?

What is Twoods saying with his ID that you think i can't say with mine? That i need to get another ID to enable me to say?


I challenge any of you to provide any shred of evidence to back up your allegation because i will not you to tarnish my image here.


I'm giving you 72hrs to do that else i will revisit this issue again.
Mr.Justwise wehdone o!
Continue to show just how Nigerian you are. You delete posts simply because you have contrary opinion. The same oppressiveness we complain of our leaders, and you somehow think you are better. If you are not Twoods then you must be twins to think it is your duty to fight his "battles" instead of just moderating this forum.

When your mind is filled with hatred and anger toward an individual it stops you from seeing the truth for what it is.
Justwise since you understand Twoods very well, you might help explain the purpose of his presence here.

Clearly he despises Nigerians, doesn't want people going to give birth in US so what's his business here. It is not enough to say no more arguments and not reprimand the chief instigator of these arguments.
The VOs in the other thread are very civil in their advice and attempts to guide people.
How then is it that a Nigerian cannot do the same to fellow Nigerians and then want us to believe he is different Nigerian.
Mr Twoods sorry to say this but you are no different from the Nigerians that you have made it your duty to condemn!

Bro, this post has given me hope. Have an urgent business trip. Need the visa in less than 2weeks.

Please what airline ticket did you use for the application since there is no direct flight to Italy.

Thanks

Yes you should...

I can assure you that you'll be denied again and you'll be back asking of how to correct "mistakes" on your application.
This is really unfortunate! How do you sleep well with your negativitism. Some positive guidance from you will do more to discourage people from using agents.

kanu nwankwo was 24 in that 1996 olympics,that i am sure was his football age,coming here now to say he is celebrating his 41st birthday,makes the whole story looks so absurd cos he should be atleast 46 in football age by now.. Do ur research and if u quote me.. U will loose ur senses by thunder and lightening
Kanu played under 17, 3 years earlier in 1993 so no way he would have been 24 in 1996.

Hello Everyone,

i'm a first timer on Nairaland. I must say a whole lot of support in here. Well done guys.

We want to have our first baby in the US. Have gone through the thread and know that i'm to:

Apply for a B1/B2 so reason can be Tourism and also to give birth.

However I need your advice on the following.

1. Affordable Hospitals in Maryland (that's where i can be accommodated). Have heard Maryland is expensive but i'm sure someone here would have eventually gotten a good deal. Please help with any link or direct contact to the hospital/doctor. i have googled and filled in contact forms but no revert. i have called but they keep directing me to their insurance company so please i'm crying for help.

2. Is or Was there anyone who planned to stay in Maryland however give birth in another state that's more affordable and not too far from Maryland. When did you leave Maryland for the place and when were you fit to travel back to Maryland after delivery. Also hospital details (especially cost) and contact to Doctor

3. Any other information would be helpful.

Thanks!
Don't know where in Maryland you are but Inova Fairfax and Alexandria both in Virginia might be close enough for you so check it out. It is not as cheap as the popular El paso, Houston and Phoenix destinations but ofcourse you will have savings from staying in a relations place so that should balance out. Believe everything will not cost more than 9k USD.
See you talk about Henrico, might be cheaper but I think it will be too far for you from Maryland. You have to think of ante natal visits and labor emergencies.

you and your likes are a perfect reminder of why my birth country is as much a disgrace as you admit. How many other nations on earth have such lengthy forums dedicated to figuring out how to scam their way out of their country?

Good luck.
I see all kinds of forum online aimed at people sharing information. Even the US VOs contribute to this forum so please what exactly is your problem? So everybody that immigrated to US is a scam? So are you a SCAM?!!!

TWoods:
Notification of intent or change of intent letters are a uniquely Nigerian invention. It is not a US immigration requirement.
Ok so it appears to be a good invention because its clearly serving some purpose. What exactly is your grouse? You believe everybody that uses it is lieing to your country? Incidentally/fortunately, the real owners of the country give people benefit of doubt and don't automatically think someone is lieing simply by writing that letter. Maybe that's the reason they are a great country and your real country a s**t country. It will be nice if you imbibe some of the culture and attribute of your newly adopted country. Make them proud of you.!!

nefertitiram:
Maybe it is not a lie. But it is a line that has been overused so the vo is tired of hearing it.

The vo saying she is too young for high risk preg made a fallacy of hasty generalization. Many young women have high risk pregs such as placenta previa, pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes... What it she is carrying triplets or quads?

Like one poster above mentioned, she left the high risk answer open ended. She should have been more specific. I was under 30 when I had a high risk preg nearly took my life if not for God's Mercy that said NO!
Agreed, might be true. But when people just need better medical care in Nigeria, they go to India, Egypt, Dubai etc. and not US and these guys know it. If I was a VO I would hate for people to be lying(putting it lighter, being economical with the truth) to my face all day.

And before we forget she requested for advise.
Kbek:
.
I advise reapply and this time be more prepared right from the application. On the reasons for the last rejection, say maybe you did not explain your condition well explain better and also still just chip in that baby will have better opportunity in life with the extra passport that will come with it. These guys already know anyway, whether you admit or not and it will be a breath of fresh air to just own up.

My visa was denied.
Vo: why are you going to the US
Me: to have better medical care cause am pregnant, and my pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy
Vo : what do you do,
Me: homemaker and student.
Vo: I don't believe you, cause you are too young to have a high risk pregnancy.bye
Please what did I say wrong. And how soon can I reapply.
Nobody likes to be lied to, including VOs. They know people go to give birth in US for the passport.So your very vague claim of high risk pregnancy does not cut it. These guys are not idiots, infact they are actually very intelligent.

Hello fam,

Please i need the help of any mama/papa coming back to naija soon embarassed I want to purchase the attached drug from Amazon, but unfortunately they don't do overseas shipping for the particular product. I desperately need it and can't find it in any pharmacy here in Lagos. Please help a sister, pls cry I have my dollar card for payment, will only need to ship to your address in the US.

Just 4 bottles, they are very lightweight. I stay in Lagos but will pay for dispatch from anywhere you are shipping from in Nigeria. God bless!
You can also use one of the many courier companies mostly at Ajao estate. You simply register with them and then use their US address as your address on Amazon and they will send your good across for a small fee. With that you can keep shopping at Amazon

Good day everyone, madam bendel, seyewest and others pls help us go thru our transit and point where we have gone wrong in today's interview.
March8/3/2017.


VO: good morning
Hubby and I: morning how is work today
VO: fine, thanks.
VO: where in d Usa are u going?
Hubby and I: Baltimore, maryland
VO: why maryland
Wife: it as a lot of tourist attraction centers
VO: where would u like to visit
Hubby : Answered
VO: where will u be staying
Wife: we've made a reservation at bla bla bla hotel.
Vo: where do u work
Hubby: so so bank
Vo: so u have worked for 8 years
Hubby : yes
Vo: madam where do u work?
Wife: bla bla bla as this and that
Vo: have u traveled before?
Wife: yes, we have been to dubai and Ghana for a family vacation.
Vo: what are u job functions, he asked my hubby
Hubby: bla bla bla
Vo: u applied last year June and u worked as an Atm custodian
Hubby: yes, and explained
Vo: He stood and started typing for like 20secs,

The next thing was to bring out the blue paper and said sorry I cannot forge ahead with ur application,kindly go thru this form and apply next time.
I immediately asked why he denied us the visa but he didn't say anything, he just said we should go thru the blue paper and re-apply. Pls my people in the house can u pls explain where we have gone wrong to be denied. And pls can we apply immediately again?
This is d second time.[/color]
I don't think Baltimore and tourist attraction has any relationship. So just like i don't believe you are going to Baltmore for tourism I guess the VO didn't believe too. Are you visiting a relation or friend? state that but only if you are sure of how the person got there. And if you really want to tour the Baltimore area then add Washington DC.

But d agent keep saying this thing about Qatar not flying to USA as they hv been banned from entry with few other airlines . I hv enquired from Qatar they denied of such rumor going around ..hence my decision to find out from real people if what d agent is saying is true or not .
Do not blame people for thinking you bought the ticket from am agent.
So If you got your ticket from Qatar airways why the question na. You think maybe Qatar airways wan Jones you? grin

Actually it's not as suspicious as it is portrayed. If i were a popular man and had my vehicle Number and spec publicly accessible that could become a huge security issue. My car could be targeted by anyone Armed robbers and the likes. I would say this particular incident is one of those where a government would not want any liability neither will The Preacher himself.
I actually commend the govt for responding quickly, i hope the same efficiency is applied to other issues involving less popular citizens.

Now as to him disproving the allegations, well now, different people handle situations differently. Sometimes it is better to be silent and just let people get tired of the topic and move on, speaking just fuels the flame. So i believe its a decent strategy. Like i said, everything is still circumstantial i'm sure if undisputed and irrefutable evidence is presented, response or not, the reality of the situation will be clear.
Guy you've been on nairaland for 2 days now and this is the only topic you have commented or shown any interest on. And quite a lot of comments! This is all that interests you guys in Malaysia grin

Ok, its clear you are trying to sway public opinion concerning this so I'll suggest you try pretending to be an unbiased and unpaid contributor to nairaland. Because right now it is rather too obvious who you are and what you are trying to do. cheesy

However the point is to show you that anything can be edited on a live site at least to a certain degree. I inspected the element which allowed me to alter the code just enough to get anyone to believe it was a live shot.

there has been no graphical editing. However i still edited the site to say the owner was Sahara reporters. Now im still looking for irrefutable evidence to back the bug theory besides " i tried it myself" or "It was there yesterday"
I guess you just got to know about nairaland today. Abi you are Apostle Suleiman cousin?
BusinessRe: Which Bank ATM Works For International Transaction by ekoboy: 9:23pm On Mar 04, 2017
MosakuAW:
We are talking about dollar (ATM) card not domiciliary accounts itself.
Dollar ATM is tied to a domiciliary account. That is where you fund the ATM card from.

But come you just said dollar ATM card. So if it is already in dollar what will you be converting if what you are buying is quoted in USD
BusinessRe: Which Bank ATM Works For International Transaction by ekoboy: 9:05am On Mar 04, 2017
MosakuAW:
Yes you have to source for dollars and deposit it in your account. Whenever you make any transaction you will be charge based on the bank rate. E.g Frank charges N320 to a Dollar as at 28th of Feb when I used my dollar card. I don't know what other banks charges
There is no conversion or bank rate for a domiciliary account card. The card is in USD, what you are buying is also quoted in USD
