the Late airforce Tolulope arotile's cover up easily came to mind. These people operate like a cult. I Hope this case is handled differently before they say the young lady was overrun by her old colleague after sighting her on her way to fetch water

It's better they always voice out than resigning or committing suicide. We need them pls. A thorough investigation is needed. Dismiss the idiots if necessary. Army has long been adulterated with criminals. Its not normal for a soldier to fire at himself and end his life. People like those indicted by this young lady are the cause of their death due to frustration. Thank God for the android phone and social media. The lady has exposed them. Very nice
BusinessRe: Google To Shutdown Google My Business Website Platform. by Eriokanmi: 9:10pm On Jan 12, 2024
SharingIsLife:
Sometimes, Google takes decisions that seem very stupid to me. Google My Business sites support businesses directly. When you find a local business on Google My Business/Maps and you want to check the offers of a particular business, you are taken to that business's Google My Business site.

So where are people looking for a business to be able to view their offers? I mean small business that are not yet able to afford their own websites? Business wisdom tells us that these startups are more important than the conglomerates.

Instead of shutting down the redundant Google Sites, they are shutting down the one that has direct impact on startups across the world. The business community should rise against this.

Meanwhile op your title is misleading somewhat. You make it seem as if Google My Business services are shutting down.

MyExpression, kindly share some screenshots of the mail you received so that Nlfpmod can consider escalating this important info.

Whathuh

Once you make a service public, you become accountable to the public. After all, Google services are not "free" per se. Do you know how much your data alone at Google's disposal is worth?
I smell something like rat here. That's how they hit us, all of a sudden, after making Google drive free to billions of users globally for years. After they allowed many to enjoy it for free and store heavy,important and sensitive files on Google drive, they now Limited the space one could occupy. Once you filled up the space, you'd have to pay to get more space. I see something similar happening here.

The Country has sanked to her debris walahi
There's wouldn't have been any need to resort to court's affirmation of elections' victory, had there been solid and credible foundation of our electoral system i place. The current system gives room for doubts and electoral fraud. You can imagine the INEC shunting down a server in a presidential election and credited it to a technical glitch, during which they were able to perfect their massive rigging plans manually. Whereas the same system was test-run in some states' governorship elections and was adjudged credible and very transparent with up to 80% success.

As you could see, Kogi easily followed suit by concluding the voting, even befofe the election day. What a bad precedent already set.
We will get there someday

PoliticsRe: 'EduGate': 8 Controversies That Led To Betta Edu’s ‘downfall’ by Eriokanmi:
Lol. I said this recently. This young lady must have been a SPV(special purpose vehicle) for a key politician in her state in the past...a governor precisely. How do you expect someone handling billions on behalf of her principal to see all these loots as special. SPVs aren't strange in the Nigerian politics. Its a means by which politicians loot what belongs to the masses. I awarded a contract as governor and inflated it by 10%, now instructed the contractor to pay the 10% into the account of someone who's my SPV. The said spv would now carry out my instructions like purchase of properties overseas, paying my dues, lodging the money in foreign accounts , etc. You can never trace such money.

These are the same people they'd nominate as minister from various states, so they'd keep protecting their interests. I dare anyone to mention that ordinary man as minister in this administration. Our politicians are criminals. I just pity those wasting their data over them on the social media

Christianity EtcRe: TB Joshua Made Childless Couples To Exchange Spouses –ex-worker by Eriokanmi: 11:07am On Jan 12, 2024
I won't say much about this . But for TB Joshua’s spiritual way of life when on earth, God could truly have given him that power as He gives everyone else and wouldn't even take it back. Its given freely. How you now use that talent you'd surely give account of

Every denomination has its own bad sides and dirty dealings , in as much as those who converge there are human and not angels. Even that RCCG where this writer is a pastor, there are so much practices which are unheard of, that are going on there. Senior pastors having canal knowledge of members, pastors poisoning each other in the name of position. The GO survived food poisoning, inflicted on him by a close senior pastor. Unfortunately, his son was targeted and they succeeded. He may have died but they can't kill his spirit. GO once said those who were fit for heaven, if rapture were to take place, in the crowd of over 1m gathering during a holy ghost Congress were less than 1%. Maybe the pastor telling this story wasn't even among.

All I'd advise every believer out there is, maintain your stand and know whom you believe personally.

TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Eriokanmi:
Ajalalomo:
The processing time is just a formality because those who did biometrics in the first week of September 2023 have yet to receive decision notifications. Even some of the applicants who did biometrics in August 2023 are still waiting for decision notices.

Now I think IRCC is back to its normal old days when applications took ages before being processed.
A formality...yes but they also consider some factors when processing your application. They want to be sure you'd return after your visit to their country. If they discovered you've been to the USA a couple of times and had returned within the permissible time, or you hold a passport of some respected countries, you're most likely to have your visa processed much faster, irrespective of the processing time stated on their website.

In terms of infrastructure, life, beauty and things that could discourage you from returning to Nigeria, America has it more. Canada only needs people to fill their job vacant positions and grow their economy.

99.9% of you guys are very poor in real life but continue deceiving yourselves grin
Check all my posts from day one. Those who had had the opportunity to feel my touch of kindness here on NL can testify. During a medical outreach for Obi before the election alone, I gladly spent millions of naira on my own to promote obi whom I had never even met with in my life. He's not even my tribe but I believe in him anyday. Its my money after all. All those fellow Obidients who also contributed towards that successful outreaches in festac Alimosho and Ikeja were managers in great companies and self-employed guys. If I mention their names here, they ring bells. Most of us aren't poor, I reiterate. Obi can't say he spent his money on elections. Did you think it was lasan tinubu lost alimosho, the most populated LG in Nigeria? I was one of those who made it happen, not the igbos among us cos ibos weren't up to 5% of the alimosho population. It will improve greatly in 2027.

We opened that account and monitored it closely for campaigns. Or do you think it's free to do a house to house sensitisation when most of you guys were busy throwing jabs at each other online? We'd do even more in 2027. It may be a long trip but we'd get there. Mark today. Nigeria must get better.
FamilyRe: I Sold Soap And Dried Fish In Lagos Before Everything Changed. by Eriokanmi: 2:13pm On Jan 11, 2024
Nice2023:
Life is like a seed when we water it very well.

Just like the story goes...I have personally sold soap and dried fish in Lagos state,in fact things were very bad for my parents in those days and I could also remember when my father was buoyant and financially capable. I sold fish at cele market called Odi eron and also sold dried fish around isolo area before God helped my parents to see me through my University education.

Today,I have ended their sufferings and subsequently brighten their face with the little I could offer and they are more than glad to move to into a new home for their retirements.

Finally,I want to urge u out there that is suffering today,that with determination and perseverance u can make it and turn the story of ur family around for the better. Just have that faith and see things turn around for good.

Good luck and make it a duty to make it and do not allow any distraction.
After all education is not a scam. This is another proof. Everyone has a story to tell. I remember being on a journey to search for opportunities and I wasn't even sure of where to get money to take me back home from that trip. I remember one trip to port harcourt from lagos. I just took that bold step and entered a bus with the exact fare that would take me to port harcourt. How I returned to Lagos was a miracle. The rest was history. I remember the Abuja trip too. I took same risk. I was invited for a contract negotiation and I returned home with a cheque of 12m naira in 2011.

Take risk and don't look down on yourself. In risk taking lies great opportunities.

GraceandFavor:
Greetings and a happy new year to you all.

I need some advise.

I submitted for the visit visa on Aug 11th 2023 and did my biometrics on Aug 17th in Abuja. I missed a letter asking me for my passport which was sent to me on Nov 8th 2023- to be honest, I don't know how I missed seeing it in my email. I read the letter on Dec 12th 2023 but I was outside Nigeria. That day I sent a CIC form to the Lagos office requesting that I send my passport to a nearby Canadian consulate as I am not in Nigeria at the moment. Today I received a message with a 'refusal letter generic' stating that my application was refused because I did not submit my passport.

Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa
(visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the
requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/
services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada
temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your
application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
(IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/
index.html). I am refusing your application.
• You have not complied with our request for information, per subsection 16(1) of the
IRPA. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for submission of the following
documents: Passport


Please what can I do?

Thank you in advance for your replies and advice.
Wow! i was almost caught in the web too. I even prefer to visit the portal at least 2 times daily because I once read on an India visa thread that an applicant's profile was updated without receiving any mail so it's not even advisable to rely on mails only. In your case, you received a PPR mail but you didn't check on time.

Something similar happened to me on my renewed German visa in 2018. I wasn't around as well. The day I checked my mail was the last date given for the submission of my confirmed hotel reservation because the one i submitted didn't match my duration of stay. It also happened to me when I was placed on a 221g by the USA embassy. Till now, i didn't know why cos I've been travelling to US for years without violating travel or visa rules. Make our enemy no prevail over us ni. I was mailed to drop off my passport within 48 hours at at muri okunola dhl's office as the 221g processing had been completed. I checked my mail the following day, at noon. I had to rush down to submit. Since then, I don learn my lesson.

You'd have to reapply cos the case on this application has already been brought to a conclusive end. Good luck next time.
PoliticsRe: Humanitarian Ministry Scandals: EFCC Seizes Edu, Sadiya Umar-Farouq's Passports by Eriokanmi:
In Nigerian political space, there's no tribalism no religious bigotry but they speak one word...corruption. One would be wondering why Diezani would pick those guys as her SPVs. See a fulani woman, using a southerner and a christian as her SPV.

I pity all these NL boys fighting one another over these people,all in the name of religion and tribalism. Betta Edu really messed up. Someone whose nomination as minister was massively criticised by her party loyalists cos of her age and with such a sensitive portfolio, ought to have exercised caution in dealing with money. She easily has access to money in that ministry more than in any other. she can spend any amount and nobody would querry her cos of the calibre of people who are beneficiaries( the poor masses who don't operate bank accounts). Even if the motive was legit, it is always difficult to entrust Nigerian civil servants and politicians with money. Her SPV won't utilize up to half of that money and Beta would definitely chop her own join.

As we know they're all thieves, she should have transferred such money into a company account instead. Maybe she's afraid that, if transferred to the company owned by any of her associates, the money is a gonner. Mrs Sadiyya Farouk also did same during the lock down when she did that selected palliatives disbursement during the covid-19 lock down in a few states and called the media to witness it as a few people were seen on queue while she was giving them cash, to make people believe she acted well. Betta Edu must have taken after her. It's not a new thing to them to steal what belongs to the people. She met the system on ground and kuku continued where the former minister had stopped. What an open disgrace, in barely 6 months in office. I wonder how much she'd have eaten in 4 years.
