I kuku no no you so, I didn't in any way insult you cos you didn't offend me. I only advised you. There's a level you get to in life and you'd be humbled by all your achievements. You can always get better and it all depends on how you position yourself and interact with customers. That your response no be am. Google The Delborough Lagos, owned by Stanley. Na me recommend most of the artisans who worked there. I got some of them here. The roofing was world class. Jonathan, Obj, etc were there recently to commission it. I was there too. Be humble and nice to potential customers. You may be sending your helpers away unknowingly with your reaction

Faiththatworks:
I had to chip in my own advice. I deal in real estate and seriously it's not easy even identifying a potential client.
I imagine if someone told me they will get back to me and later ask me to send a video seen on my status,Kai I will bomb that individual with videos they didn't ask for me.
I'm sure the Op will use that same data to watch YouTube video,Tit-tok videos that won't make a Naira for you, but you got angry at someone who will allow you make money from the same data.
Na wa for some Nigerians.

God bless Nigeria.

Na because you go school naw. Your approach will always be different. I've advised the OP already. He needs some education . His response was a clear difference between someone who's educated and someone who's not, no be insult. It was a mere online conversation and he messed up so deeply. What if she slapped him the way that lady did to me in Port Harcourt in 2018? She even abused me on top but i kept saying, I'm sorry madam. It was her cheque was interested in, not her insult. I made a lot of money from her. She singlehandedly recommended us to chevron.

You're a bad service provider. Unfortunately,many who claim to be rendering a service today didn't go beyond secondary school and thats why education can never be a scam. It will enable you do things in a more polite and courteous manner, no matter how rude the customer might be. Your response to the potential customer says it all.

No graduate would ever respond to a customer that way. I've been slapped by a lady customer before in Port Harcourt and today, after doing millions naira worth of business, na im carry me enter chevron. We later became friends. Her husband became a distant uncle. I advise you go back to school if you have money. It can never be a scam

I said it on the earlier post that they're about to claim it's Hamas and they didn't disappoint.

They're even claiming they're prisoners released by Israel when Israel only released 'prisoners' below 18.

300 prisoners below 18. Some have been in Israeli prisons since they were 12.

Why does Israel have so many Palestinian children in prisons?

What type of country imprisons children?

But then, it is better for a child to be in prison than to be shot in the head... like these two Palestinian children that Israeli soldiers assassinated in Jenin yesterday.

One was shot in the head. Israel shot a 9-year-old Palestinian boy in the head.

NOTE: Jenin is in the West Bank and not in Gaza. There is no Hamas there, yet they're being killed like rams. Yet Israel claims Hamas is the problem.

Did you read the newspiece at all? One of them was imprisoned and released in 2020, not among those released recently. They were both ex-convicts. But why are most of you guys always behave this way? You'd jump on threads without reading the news topic.

stormborn28:
I know is not everyone but it is less than what you stated

I can't remember quoting the cost of a DNA test. What I told you was the cost of one of the machines used in the DNA Testing called PCR Machine. There 3 machines involved and PCR is one of them. You'd also need a high precision microscope. It's not just about going to China or elsewhere and bringing into the country a kit for DNA testing.

Such is expected though. Nigerians like taking advantage of gullible people to make money from a trending situation.

Shoodboi:
They will soon claim it was Hamas, watch them. In the same Jerusalem where there are no Palestinians. The same Jerusalem fully controlled by Israel. The same Jerusalem where Israel has soldiers and tanks all over. Watch them, they will soon say it was Hamas. They've even identified the shooters as Palestinians. How did they know the dead men are Palestinians? Dead people o.

Only in Nigeria can people like you be fooled. Data accuracy is Top notch over there. The report never said hamas. We get problem for this country no be small, the way some people think sef

DNA test is not more than 1 million naira

...and you think everyone can afford it?

I need to see your medical certificate of mental fitness because you don't sound mentally stable

I think the comment should be directed at you slave, despite the obvious truth seen. Even if you've been so blinded by 2k, you should have remembered the bullion vans inside Tinubu's house. You slave? I reiterate, all our politicians are thieves, while those following them are slaves and fools.

A lot more was airlifted on Tinubu's election nationwide. What he spent to secure primaries at Eagle Square alone is in millions of dollars on delegates.

All our politicians are thieves. I blame those following them like mumu...those who will always suffer and smile after collecting 2k. They're not worth our fight.

stormborn28:
Well done Oga manager

I just told you the truth. Do you even know how much it costs to do DNA? Check it online. It's not for the poor. I wonder how a kit would bring out a DNA result accurately

virginchaser:
Even if we don't go separate ways. It can be divided into regions. Northwest, Northeast, Northcentral, Southeast, Southsouth, Southwest and FCT Abuja. Each region draw a new constitution that is suitable for them in terms of economic and religions.

Dubai metro rail is another memorable experience, except no photo shot allowed inside. I remember how a Ghanaian friend corrected me while on escalator to avoid staying on line of people in a hurry.

Yes, the current composition of leaders don't want regional government and that's why they're finding it difficult to amend the constitution. That's why I'm suggesting we split. They feed fat in this type of government we run. They're the same who would approve constitutional amendment. Check those who are in the NA...retired governors and their co-thieves. Ordinary LG autonomy, they couldn't achieve cos they know once this happens, no money to steal again

If we can go back to regional government, many who are at the national assembly today would leave Nigeria cos politics won't be interesting anymore. Those who choose to remain would take the battle to their respective regions and fight dirty on who should represent them at the centre. But they don't want this to happen.

It's a shameful thing that Nigeria is banned from entering ordinary dubai, what they can't try with Kenya, not to talk of south Africa. An ordinary SA doesn't like traveling outside on vacation cos almost everything in the west is in their country. Why they still call us giants of Africa today is what I don't understand. That was before

virginchaser:
How safe is it? Holiday in UAE before the ban and Qatar were top notches. I once forgot phone in Dubai taxi. Driver delivered it at four points Sheraton hotel and waiter gave him 10 Dirham for the effort. Disneyland and seven Emirates stadiums with youths football competitions are memories to remember.

I really miss DXB. I always loved to watch football at night on their pitch. It's never a dull moment, being in DXB. Our leaders aren't trying. Nigeria is a composition of many disagreeing nations. No sense of belonging and oneness of spirit. Everyone just gets to power and steal. No plans to truly develop Nigeria. They're rotating leadership amongst themselves while the future of Nigeria are japaing, due to the hardship unleashed on them

Everyone will go their separate ways someday.

extol1:
Morocco and South Africa were attributed to Africa leading in Africa while Nigeria is just West Africa region, hmmm really giant of Africa my foot.

You need to see the way air maroc is spreading now. They've really expanded their airport too, tapping from the opportunity in the aviation industry. You'd think you're in Europe. Who com do us like this in this country? Guess what? Nigerians are their major passengers now, to major destinations globally

Na lie..that amount wet you write

Check out the cost of a PCR alone. PCR is just one of the equipment used. We're setting up one centre in Abuja already

Testing for DNA is a rigorous process. This kit will give false reports and cause chaos in many homes. The DNA equipment combined cost more than 70m naira

Everyone is just dancing round same drumbeat. What Oba of Benin had said and what Abisoye Oshodi had said were same. Those who were against it were just blabbing and seeking undie relevance The Oba was so honest about his statement, which in my opinion, everyone would've applauded him for instead of the unnecessary attack. He said not every part of lagos but the lagos island, which was called eko back then. The word Eko was even an edo word. Aworis occupied the lagos mainland, up to the Alimosho by extension.

The fact is, there was no place called lagos back then but eko. The early settlers were the binis. They didn't go beyond that island space. Aworis didn't occupy the island called eko then and now lagos.. The mainland became lagos by extension. The areas were mainly occupied by the aworis not binis

Oba akiolu was right when he tried to educate people like Abisoye Oshodi that the name oshodi never existed among yorubas. Oshodi which was originally known as oshodin is a bini word. The family only identified with lagos by adopting that name. Idumota, idunganran, idumagbo, iga, etc are all bini words. All the old obas of lagos bodies were always being taken to Benin to Bury until the tradition changed. Look at lagos chiefs apparel, oba of lagos apparel too...they're mainly white, both the apparel and caps reflect those seen on bini chiefs. Oshodi has no meaning in yoruba. Those bearing dosunmu too adopted that name, in order to identify with lagos and claim lagos. They were mainly from Ogun state. The correct word was Docemo,

That said, that binis were first settlers of eko now lagos doesn't make binis owners of lagos or eko. It's yorubaland. End of story.

A mad man did it with my younger sister and before he know it he saw blood all over his head and started running.

Another day, it was my wife at Effurun roundabout and she was telling the guy that she is married but the guy will not listen and kept embarrassing her, following and calling her names. When I came she immediately told me and not too distant away I approached him and gave the an old century slap even though he was taller.

You took a great risk. What if he overpowered you, then killed you?

Next time, just move on, for the sake of peace. That doesn't make you foolish.

Insider job!

Times are hard now, people are desperate...
More caution should have been taken

Exactly. But why not do online transfers to beneficiaries? What were they thinking by withdrawing so much money?

Still carrying cash in millions, this day and age?

Politicians!!!

Any money withdrawn in cash can never be traced anywhere. What's money needed for, during budget presentation...to seal the months of those who may see padded figures and react?

Beejaymic:
G evening ouse!
I need quick response for these
Application: August 30th
Biometrics: September 20th
Up till now i haven't received any mail for passport request.

Please.... should i still keep faith

Are you a first time applicant who hadn't held any of their visas before? You'd always experience some delay in your application, if you are. So, enough patience is needed.

Most of those who have been visiting in the past received approvals within 30-35 days. They also consider some other stuffs like if you've been to USA either once or twice or you hold a valid US visa.

They have their way of assessing every applicant, which also determines processing time. I've seen 2 weeks approval after application was submitted this year. His biometric was still valid until 2026

Kennyg290:
3 months or more plz ,no cause for alarm. Be optimistic

That's right

Vinny102:
Pls oo guys
My brother's visa was approved since October 2023 and it's 3yrs but he is planning to enter Canada in April 2024.
Pls guys I hope this April next year he plans to enter will not be an issue at the POE for him?
Or is he meant to be in Canada before the end of 90 days from the time his visa was approved?

So long as the visa is still valid, you can enter Canada anytime. I didn't use my last visa until 6 months after it was issued. The program I was going for was cancelled and rescheduled so I had to wait. Its not the business of anyone at POE whether it took you ages before you used your valid visa or not. I had a banker friend who used her visa valid for 3 yrs a few months to expiry. She had to use it so her chance of obtaining another one won't be blocked. She said they may ask her why she didn't use it at all, when renewing and I told her even if she didn't use it at all but she had a valid point, she go jęlo.

Visa application is like a transaction between you and the embassy which you paid for. When visa is issued or rejected, transaction don finish and you'd get proof of payment. That's why they always see visa applicants as customers. They won't ask you why you didn't use the product (visa in this case) which they sold to you. Once a visa is issued, the chapter is closed. You can only be penalised if you abused it.

All you must get right is your mission in Canada, just in case they ask. If your mission is valid and convincing, you're good to go

Vinny102:
Please oo
The dollar price that airlines show for their tickets fare, is it convertible according to bank rate of black market rate? For example, if I see $1,780.50 for a particular date in Royal Air Moroc, shd I make the payment according to bank rate or black market rate?

Again, is Royal Air Moroc a good airline to travel to Montreal?

Hmm. That's much oo, on flight ticket alone. Try and be booking well ahead next time...paying for a flight 3-4 months ahead would save you a lot of money. Moreover, you'd have the opportunity of selecting among good airlines. This has always been my habit.

I am not in the diaspora but I stumbled on a thread where someone made a sensible comment about this same issue.

They said something to the effect of everyone being too smart because of their papers/stay, nobody wants to compromise or make sacrifices, for the sake of an authentic relationship because too much sense is worrying all of you there.Na una know wetin dey worry all of you sha!

From my observations, there's a tendency in most of you japarians to gravitate towards self conceit and a vain superiority complex, where you start to think you're better than other Nigerians because;

1. You've lived in obodo for XYZ number of years or you have papers, so even new immigrant Nigerians are like an affront to you guys (meaning their very presence in your host country is like an offence)

2. You think with your papers you have finally arrived what can any Nigerian offer you again. But your papers alone don't provide healthy social interactions, good friendships or companionship, laughter and fun moments with others.

I see that superiority complex even here on NL with folks who haven't lived overseas for 2 years, I smile and shake my head, thinking to myself, poverty is really not a good thing. When you grow up privileged very little about the white man trips you to a point where you start to insult or look down on your country and fellow country men. Because you grow up knowing what your own people are made of and capable of. It's not so much about privilege alone, but having a healthy dose and sense of self worth, self esteem and self love.

My friend engaged an asian cabbie in conversation in the UK, while riding in his car. The cabbie told her it is very disappointing to see the way we Africans/Nigerians in particular behave overseas. He said we are quick to throw away our cultural values to embrace western ones, we are the ones who are quick to talk back to parents and disrespect them (that was an incident he witnessed in his cab with a Nigerian family)

Whereas he sees Indians, Chinese and some Asians hold onto their cultural values and practices, maintaining the family unit, and refusing to let the west negatively influence them. I think the cabbie's experience and narrative, may help you understand why you are having a hard time finding a Nigerian date.

Good point!

Kai... that's too bad

He'd get out of it unhurt. I remember the rape case too. Americans like bringing stars down with lawsuits, which is why Messi must be careful before they implicate him. Unfortunately, they're dealing with the wrong person lol

FreeStuffsNG:
So you actually believe that LUTH will lock five 150-bed wards, as in 750 beds? How many bed-capacity is the whole LUTH itself when you can ignorantly believe that 750 beds are unoccupied and locked? Smh.

With your kind of negativity and ignorance which you think is cool, many of you will never be blessed by this land. All you do is give negative mindset and the land will reflect it back to you.

When the news favours your master, it's legit, but when it's not, you raise doubt. Na wah for you

Except you live in the moon would you not feel the hardship in the land

The pressure is just too much on our youths. Anyone who visits various nairaland travel sections would understand better. The root cause is bad leadership. Even their supporters are seriously japaing. You joined hands in electing a bad leader and wants to run away from the problems you created?

PoliteActivist:
I can bet u she's lying - trying to form experienced player. Probably just managed to finally lose her virginity. Girls are never honest about that kinda stuff.
Those with very high body counts will pretend virgin!
Either that or she's stylishly trying to tell you you're not the one

You're right. The first time I met my wife. I asked if she had a bf, she said nobody, that she didn't like those who had been coming. She was 27. I now asked if she's a virgin and she smiled and said, i dont know oo, you'd find out yourself. She said she had escaped rape multiple times. I married her a virgin at 28, I was age 30.

Goalnaldo:
Recently I fell in love for the first time with this 23 year old. It felt great. this was the first time someone is calling me baby and having sleepless nights because of me (before you people begin to ask how old I am, I was born in 1992).

About three days ago we were texting on WhatsApp and I asked her how many ex she had had and her reply was "I can't remember". I was shocked 😲 I asked her if there are too many that's why she can't remember and she said "yes".

I'm concerned.for a 23 year old to have dated many men means she has multiple body counts. Will this affect me in the long run? What advice do you people have for me?

PS; I'm not a virgin

If you truly love eachother, put the past behind you and embrace the future. Some people do some regrettable stuffs due to some conditions they never prayed for.

TemplarLandry:
Don't mind that overhyped Opolopolr king. With the adultrated Yoruba language they speak, the Benin people used to be our distant relatives. They're always envious of Yorubas.

I dedicate “Ijo Eko” by Legely to all Omo Ekos.
Great jam!

There's nothing to even stress our nerves over. That Edo were the first settlers of Lagos doesn't mean Edo owned Lagos. Edo only settled in an area called Eko, which was an indisputable fact. Also, Edo produced the early monarchs in Lagos. Lagos was known as eko back then. Many of the words on Lagos Island were edo words. They can't be erased.
Such words as:

Iga,
Idunganran,
Idumagbo,
Idumota,
Early Obas of Lagos were always being buried in Benin once they joined their ancestors. They must take them to Edo to Bury and their burial grounds are still in Benin till today. If it wasn't so, then what take a yoruba king from aworiland to Benin to burry...abi ilę ti tan lekoole niii?
The Oba of Benin never distorted history. He said it as it was but trust some people, they must flex their muscles on top of nothing. I remember a day oba Akiolu attacked the oshodi family that oshodi was a borrowed name so they could not claim Lagos, that they knew where the word oshodi came from. This happened when the family was fighting over who becomes the oba of oshodi.

Awori owns a substantial part of lagos , but lagos mainland. It was called awori that time as lagos Island was called Eko. Awori is today's large part of lagos mainland. Na the Portuguese give lagos that general name.

Apart from Lagos , where else in Yorubaland would you see the obas and chiefs white apparel, looking like those of oba of Benin and hue chiefs? Oba Akiolu himself reiterated this, that early settlers of Lagos were the binis. The word Eko is an edo language, not yoruba.l,likewise Oshodin( they later coined it to oshodi).

Till today, an edo man or woman coming to lagos wouid say, I'm traveling to Eko, not lagos.
