if someone can afford an Android phone or BB and could also afford a data plan. The person is above the poverty grade. and shouldn't be begging. That's my opinion.

@lalasticlala do the needful. Eva's response would deter others from begging in the future.

ThankYouGod:
Nigeria is full of beggers.

fan's begging celebrities for money on social media have increased this days. This could be fuelled by some celebrity like Don jazzy and Co giving the favourable responses once in a while. 2 fans were asking Eva for money for two different reasons and she gave them this reply. what do you think. I think she did the right thing.

when this criminals were killing innocent souls amnesty international wouldn't talk. They go through a free and fair trial, found guilty and sentenced to death. amnesty is complaining. Some one tell amnesty international our prison system is overwhelmed. They should open a prison to feed them for life. I stopped taking them serious since 1960 they are so biased.

chai!!! This fine girl is off the market. congratulations to her. Is that not T bleez looking like someone who took fermented kunu.

no comment.

congratulations too the winners. Am glad Mr easy won. #LifeIsEasy

I had thé same problem in Nigeria. They keep asking you for hôtel reservation and stuff. i told them thé embassy confirmed my reservation before they gave me visa. they keep telling you they will ask u when u get there and nobody asked. They just asked why i was there and i told the SA immigration guy. He even called me igwe and stamped my Passport.

Me kneel down to propose, God forbid. The ladies choke u with indirect proposal like. Do you want to marry me? Is this relationship for marriage?. Just because à white man does it make it the right thing. They have higher divorce raté.

Fashola should bring sanity to the building industry. The national assembly should pass the National Building Code too. The ministry if housing had been neglected by this administration like others did.
The effect could be as bad as Boko Haram. The death toll of the akwa ibom building collapse was more than suicide attack. All we hear is commiseration without actions to prevent it in the future.

I pray no life was lost

Luke Brett Moore, a young Australian, had just lost his job when he discovered his bank was mistakenly allowing him unlimited credit. It was too good an opportunity to miss. As he explains here, in his own words, he started spending and didn't stop - until one day there was a knock on the door.
It seems unbelievable but my intention was never to take all the money from the St George Bank and not pay it back.
I was essentially waiting for the bank to contact me and say: "Hey you, I want this amount of money" and I would have gone from there.
Originally, in 2010, I just had a normal everyday banking account. My home loan, my health insurance and bills were coming out of it.
I had had a pretty bad car accident and my pay started going into another bank. I can't remember the exact circumstances of why that happened.
The first week I was worried as there was no money to pay the mortgage. What was I going to do? But then the payment went through from my St George account and I thought, "Oh, OK."

And then the next fortnight the next $500 (£296) payment of my mortgage went through. It went on and on like that for 12 months without the bank saying anything, but my account was becoming overdrawn.

About that time I rang my home loan company and said, "Hey, can you direct-debit $5,000 (£3,000) from my St George account?" And then a couple of days later I said $50,000. They were both approved.
I was shocked. I had found myself with access to an extraordinary large line of credit.
I bought my first car not long afterwards - an Alfa Romeo 156. It was the dodgiest car: the gearbox, motor and fuel injectors all went in it.
Then I got a Hyundai Veloster. It was one of those crazy three-door things with a glass roof. I bought that so I could drive to Sydney to buy a Maserati. It was only a $36,000 car. I mean it was a lovely car but it wasn't a supercar by today's standards.
It was a crazy time for me. I was a young and foolish 22-year-old and I wasn't thinking particularly clearly.
I had just recovered from the accident and found myself unemployed for the first time since I was 14. I had broken up with my high school sweetheart after four years and I was looking to sort of start my life fresh somewhere else.
So I moved to Gold Coast. I flew up to Surfer's Paradise one weekend for a holiday. And I got comfortable there and ending up staying.
It was pretty awesome. I had a good time up there that's for sure. I was just doing what most young guys do when they're that age and they've got a bucket load of cash - just having fun and partying.
I went to strip clubs and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on girls, alcohol, cocaine and whatever else.
I also got a fishing boat. I loved that. I got a £10 note by street artist Banksy. That was one of my treasured possessions, along with a drum skin signed by Amy Winehouse.
Every time I requested St George to lend me more money I wasn't particularly expecting them to, but they did.
I think at first maybe my mother thought I was dealing drugs but then I think it become quite clear that that's not what I was doing. People learned fairly quickly around me, "Don't ask, don't tell."
I had a business up in Surfer's Paradise. I was running a shop selling goods. The media said my bedroom was an Aladdin's cave of treasures, but a lot of that stuff I was selling in my shop. There was to some extent a business idea behind everything that I was doing.
The fall and rise of Luke Brett Moore
March 2010: Opens an account with St George Bank
July 2010 to August 2012: Makes more than 50 withdrawals, apparently totalling $1,988,535.25
December 2012: Police raid Moore's family home in Goulburn, New South Wales, but he is released on bail
February 2015: Found guilty of obtaining financial benefit by deception and dealing with the proceeds of crime in Sydney District Court
April 2015: Sentenced to between two years and three months and four years and six months in jail
August 2015: Bail is granted after Moore represents himself in court
December 2016: New South Wales Criminal Court of Appeal quashes his conviction
Then [in 2012] I was sitting in my bedroom back at home with my mum in Goulburn when I hear banging on the window. By the time I got to the front door the police were inside. They pretty much had my mother pushed up against a wall and were shoving a video camera in my face. They were all armed like they thought I might be a mad gangster.
They were yelling and telling me I was under arrest and they went through the house and took everything that I'd ever owned.
They arrested me and took me to the police station. The police originally refused me bail so I spent the night in the Goulburn cells. The next day I got granted bail by a magistrate in court.
A couple of years later I was found guilty of obtaining financial advantage by deception and knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime. I was sentenced for a maximum of four-and-a-half years.
I was never expecting to go to jail and thought I'd be found innocent. But I had to get lawyers through legal aid, which is grossly underfunded in Australia. They weren't interested in the case, didn't want to defend the case and clearly didn't do a very good job of it at trial.
It was horrible in jail. You're away from your family and locked in a cell for 17 hours a day. The food is pretty dodgy and you're associating with some pretty rough people.
In some ways I was blessed because the type of crime I was in there for was not something that anyone in prison is going to hold against you.
I spent six months there, and it was the toughest time in my life. From the first day I was there I was trying to get out.
I read as many law books as I could and about as many cases as I could. I read the Bail Act and the Crimes Act and pieced together my case.
My first objective, though, was to get bail. This was very difficult at the time [2015] following too many cases of guys on bail committing really bad crimes.
You needed to first establish special and exceptional circumstances and then you needed to establish that you weren't a risk to the community and that you weren't a flight risk.
I had to represent myself because legal aid wouldn't fund my bail application. But I managed to get it.
By the time it all went to court I was so prepared with all my arguments and everything all I basically did was give the barrister that represented me my paperwork and said: "Look, here it is. Here's the argument. It's black and white."
In the end the legal argument as far as the criminal charges were concerned was quite simple.
I was acquitted a few weeks ago. As far as the law is concerned in Australia at the moment I had no legal obligation to inform the Bank of what was going on.
The judge said I was dishonest, but we don't live in a society where moral wrongs result in people being locked up behind bars and their liberty taken away from them.
I was just unlucky I guess that it happened to me.
From all the comments on social media it seems that many other young and foolish people would've done the exact same thing. However, given the opportunity, I wouldn't do it again. It devastated my life and family and it wasn't worth a couple of good months with the strippers and some cocaine.
My whole life was nearly ruined. It's only now that I've been able to turn my experience in to a positive. I'm currently studying law at university and will be a criminal lawyer in two years' time.
My six months behind bars gave me a unique perspective on jail. A lot of the people in there need help not incarceration.
So my idea is to essentially assist these people and sort of try to get more funding directed towards drug rehabilitation, counselling and education as opposed to more money to build more jails.

May Allah grant you Aljanna firdaus. and give your family thé fortitude to bear this great loss

Thanks to you guys who have shared their experiences and knowledge on this tread. I picked up my SA Visiting Visa today @ VFS office abuja. 6 working days after submitting the application. I really appreciate you guys. I didnt have to use anybody or agent, only what i read on nairaland.

scottd:
hi, guys...please, am new on this nairaland....I want to know the minimum bank account statement to process South Africa....I mean how much must I have in the account....please any quick reply please

It dépends on what you are going to there. A visit, vacation or study. The amount should be enough to cover for what you will be doing there in case including all travel expenses, if its à personal account. They also check how funds are debited and credited in thé account. so dont go paying 3 million at once. Good luck

i support his demand. but they cant be allowed to Block road and cause hardship to other people in thé name of religion. today in kaduna state you can no longer Block roads for any religions activity even friday prayers. No one complained but they keep blocking roads for their possessions. am à muslim i dont care if they construct à big hall or hire one for their activities but when you Block roads and overtake government and private properties, school and grounds without permission you have crossed the line. Ask anyone who lives in zaria their former HQ our daily lives are better. we have been liberated. we regret thé loss of lives. but thank you Nigerian army for liberating us

i support his demand

lmao

Hehehehee, let churches continue dis ego massaging bullshyt. With less than 20k a shoe shining aboki can marry his Islamic 4 four wives and spew his almajiris all over d place, whom have the tenacity to survive against all odds, by the end of the next 20 years Christianity will be almost non existence in Nigeria, at least for now the north eastern part is already almost cleared of Christianity. Slowly but surely it will come to pass.

This is just a tread on what a certain church requires from its members for conducting a wedding. you don't have to bring in Islam and the North. Even the so called Almajiris think and reason better than you. let's talk about this tread don't bring religious and tribal sentiment here
