My compound is using postpaid, previous months' bill was around ₦25,000, ₦22,000 and ₦35,0000 but to my greatest amazement November bill was whopping ₦70,000

How is it in your area cos am wondering if am being cheated alone.

I'm having same high energy charges from EEDC even though there's little change in energy rates and energy usage in my family house remains same. I had to write to EEDC and we haven't resolved it.
imagine My parents have paid #17,000 and 22,000 for the months of October and November just for energy consumption ohh.
Just write to the billing manager, how did they arrive to that figure. They normally read via energy usages recorded in the transformer. When you get their they the manager that you won't bear the cost of those using bypass in your neighborhood

Good morning everyone,

If there's water scarcity then there should be a lot of people at the place especially adults. The survived ones said the men came at night but couldn't open the door. That implies they were there till the second day. How did they survive the suffocation?
The place is not supposed to be deserted due to the scarcity. .
They are hiding something.

99% of residents in that community are Catholics. and t was Christ the King feast, so that explains why nobody was there. I'm telling this because it happened in my maternal home.
As at yesterday, one of the survivors confessed to having a hand in the deaths of those children.

Killing animals for their Skin or meat is just cruel and wrong. How would you feel if someone ripped the skin off you and decided to make a coat out of you?
Animals should have right(s) too.
#StopAnimalCruelty!!!

It is a rubbish story. The children went to fetch water by 8am when the owners of the house had gone to Church, so nobody fetched water that morning?
Why didn't the children cry for help when the owners of the house arrived? How did the owners of the house not notice 6 children in the car?
The door wasn't tight when they were thrown in, why was it tight after they were thrown in? They are covering something.

because of water scarcity, those kids left their village to a neighboring village to fetch water. The oldest amongst the children is 11 years. I feel there's more to this story.

Graphic: Three missing children found dead inside car at retired police officer's home in Enugu

The bodies of three children were found in a car parked at the home of a retired police officer at Ugwu Ogede in Itchi, Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State on Monday, November 23.

Watch video here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WISZPRqSDQk

The victims identified as Chibugo Eze, Chinenye Eze, and Ebuka Ene, were reported missing after they went to fetch water at a commercial borehole owned and located at the home of the former police officer.

It was gathered that two other children named Kingsley Eze, and Mmasichukwu were equally rescued from the same car and upon resuscitation, they claimed that three hooded men abducted them into the car and left.

The parents of the children had raised a search team when their children who had gone to the borehole at about 8 am on Sunday, November 22, did not return home as usual.

The traditional ruler of the community, HRH, Igwe Ike Oke, who confirmed the incident said that he also mobilised personnel of vigilante and Forest Guard groups who joined in the search of the missing children.

"We were almost frustrated in our search when a community member who went to fetch water heard the voice of a little child calling her name. She traced the voice to a car that had been parked for over six months in the compound where she discovered the children and raised the alarm,"said the monarch.

“We found three of the children already dead by the time we opened the car. I think they suffocated to death because the car doors were stiffed when we tried to open it at first but we engaged an artisan who forced it open. One of the two children rescued said they went to fetch water but didn’t meet anyone at the borehole because the owner and the entire members of the family had gone to church service,"

“He informed us that they were about going home when three hooded men came from a hill beside the scene of the incident and abducted them into the car and left. He said they were all dressed in red cloths. He also said that the hoodlums returned at the middle of the night to take them away but they couldn’t open the car doors because they were stiffed. We are still investigating.

It happened at Umuakenyi Itchi, Not Ugwu Ogede. The number of missing children was 5, and not 3 as reported.
2 kids died.

Not shot but killed. Get your semantics right.

I agree. He was murdered in cold blood. They even drove off without checking on the victim while he bled & gave up.

Where do I even start?

So a friend of mine introduced me to this thread last year Nov, and since then I have been a silent reader, started reading from scratch to date.

One thing it did for me was I knew what to do next and how to go about my admission process, Was mind blowing for me, sometimes I just wish I knew about this thread back in 2015, I for don be citizen by now �

Was admitted for Fall 2020 with the same offer then corona happened, almost moved the admission to Fall 2021 cause the funding will not hold with my department for Spring 2021 but after series of emails with my CA, she advised to move it to Spring 2021 and offered to help me get another GAship.

A few weeks later Boom � she secured another position for me, she was particular about working with me (GRACE)

Then I knew it was up to me now to get my VISA and JAPA �

Next phase was to contact Fairheart, helped me cross-check everything to make sure there were no mistakes. made all the necessary payments, secured an emergency appointment, but it was canceled due to the unrest during the Endsars protest. So they reschedule me for Nov 6th.

My final mock with Fairheart the best, I remember screaming to the top my voice after the mock � only thing I had at the back of my mind was to go and get my visa, I forgot the call was still on, dude heard me screaming like a mad man �

That night was slow as f<ck, sleep no gree come, I just lay down dey think, to get an hour sleep was a struggle tbvh.

Woke up around 4:50, my alarm was for 5:00, the interview was for 7:00

After getting ready, my mum first showered some anointing on me and told me to go get my visa.

Got to the embassy at 6:50, they were still attending to those for 6:00 so I joined the line for those for 7:00, fast forward to my interview. They were 3 VO present that morning, one was very friendly and doesn't waste time with people and have been dishing approvals ear and there �
In my mind, I was praying to be interviewed by him. lucky for me, I got him.

ME: Good morning
VO: Morning

VO: What a long morning it has been.
ME: Yes it has been (smiles)

VO: Pass me your documents.
ME: there you go.

VO: Place your 4 left fingers on the scanner.
ME: I obliged

VO: Where are you going?
ME: I didn't want to sound like a robot cause I saw this guy was an easy-going person, I told him the state (Indiana)

VO: Louisiana
ME: No, Indiana

VO: Different! with a smile
ME: I know right �

VO: What Course
ME: EMDD

VO: Why this course
ME: I work with xyz and this degree will give me immense knowledge. He cuts me

VO: Where do you work again
ME: I repeated

VO: who is paying for this? Looking at my i20
ME: I have a GAShip that covers my entire tuition fee and a monthly stipend to offset my student fees and the deficit will be paid by my uncle.

VO: I will be issuing your VISA
ME: Omo I off, I couldn't hear anything again.

VO: Are you married
ME: My head was just moving left-right-left-right.

VO: Any kids
ME: head was still moving left-right-left-right.

VO: Take your passport and proceed to windows -- to make your reciprocity payment.
ME: Thank you so much.

VO: You're welcome and Good luck


PS: No travel history, No exams just GRACE.

little advice:

Dress smart, these guys are looking for people that will travel and do well for themselves academically, dress like a student. I noticed a guy wearing a native and leather slips was denied even with his travel history.

Dress how you want to be addressed!

Above all, it can only be GOD!

Go with grace!

Congratulations....greater heights!

BBC is giving eye witness report while CNN is echoing propaganda.

Bbc report is totally wrong. Nigeria soldiers shot at us. I was there. a girl that followed my crew to the ground was shoot dead.

Dave Umahi's defection to the ruling party, APC not only make Kalu's chances of clinching party nomination for Presidential election slimmer but is a BIG threat. in fact, Today Dave became a big contender for the position.

You people should let Orji Uzor Kalu grieve in peace.

Mark my words... Trump will lose! Charges will be initiated against Trump.

Sad. Why such heavy-handedness? Why Jungle justice? Why death? It just doesn't make sense. Salute, honour and respect to those who have fallen and are injured. Many battles win a war. We move! Smarter. Wiser.

SilverNorGold:
Professor Osinbajo is our next President.

God bless Nigeria.

Just wake up already! is it Professor Yemi Osibanjo that swore to an oath of silence? the man who has been caged. He obviously do not understand politics, If he had resigned from office and decamped to a more liberal party, maybe he may have a shot at even running for party nomination. Mark my words, He would never be President.my opinion has nothing to do with tribal sentiments. I once admired Tinubu too, but he has lost his anionting.

The Suicidal Ambitions of a Jagaban In 1998, I listened to an interview of Mr. Bola Tinubu on VOA; he was a member of NADECO then. I was thoroughly floored by his eloquence and his understanding of the issues during the Abacha Regime. I said to my old man then "this man knows his onions". About 6 months later, there was another interview on the same station; this time he was being asked about his gubernatorial ambitions...His answers were so articulate...he spoke about Waste to Power program, power generation by the state, state police and fiscal federalism. He was way ahead of his comteporaries...and I loved him more. He became governor...and took on the Obasanjo Regime on the Independence of the states from the central government. By this time, love apples for him were popping out of my ears! Dude was good and understood how to build nations within a country! I must confess that I had always been a secret admirer of the man... Then came the Jonathan Administration...and dude slowly morphed into something else...subtly... slowly but surely. Mr. Tinubu had become a megalomaniac sold on himself. We all know about that so I shan't bother us with the details... With the rise of Mr. Jonathan, dude fancied his chances at being president. He junked the fiscal federalism thingy and state independence...and rolled out his propaganda machinery...if I could topple Jonathan and place a stooge, I could be president! In his mind, his plans were perfect! He sold the plans to his minions and they went to work in 2011. For about 10 years, he's dedicated his life to achieving those plans...a 10 year plan! And he went after it with uncommon determination that would have been admirable if only the terms were right and the structure of Nigeria was agreeable. The more Mr. Tinubu went after his plans, the more he alienated his constituency...the Reformers...and it is the Reformers that connect with the People! We concluded that he could never be president after the own-goal of 2015. He said we were crazy! Indeed, he was the crazy one! Our dear Jagaban had gone bunkers... everyone knew except himself! His major albatross was his lack of emotional intelligence...at least not in the past 7 years. Do you know what this man could achieve by aligning with the desires of the people? Do you know that if this gentleman could declare TODAY that we must # restructureOrBurst , fight for the # autonomousRegio ns and promote # EndThe1999Constitution , he would be an instant hit and we could achieve all these? Do you know that if he had foresight, he could become the Premier of the Oduduwa Region and do exploits? Why he doesn't see the low-hanging fruits befuddles me...hence my conclusions that he's a man with almost zero EQ! He helped to plant the President Buhari...he fought tooth and nail to help to sustain that presidency. He went against the desires of his constituency and neighbors...he became emotionally isolated by his own people and admirers...but sustained some clout still with his financial powers and certain influences...but his influence had waned everywhere... In desperation, he did the unthinkable...a tacit endorsement of the Lekki Bloodgate on the 20th October, 2020. On that day, scores of peaceful protesters were violently killed...the world watched in consternation as men in military fatigues gunned down unharmed youths. On that same day, as the protesters fell like nine pins, wailing and calling on their God and mothers, the Tinubu Political Dynasty was gunned down alongside! Mr. Tinubu's political dynasty inadvertently became a victim of his own lack of emotional intelligence...and he self-destruct by his refusal to align with the People! The Tinubu I fell in love with in 1998 is lurking somewhere within me decades later...and I do believe that the original Tinubu is still somewhere within him too...if he could touch base with himself some 22 years back, he could still pull the chestnut out of the fire yet... By aligning with the People...to # EndSARs, # EndThe1999Constitution , have the # autonomousRegions or # RejectThisRepublic . The ball ain't far from his court despite his political demise. The challenge is: Is he emotionally intelligent to see things critically? But one thing I'm certain of, whether he makes amends or not, even before the unfortunate recent events, Mr. Tinubu would NEVER be president! So if he comes to that realization, maybe he could start making the right choices! Dear Mr. Tinubu, you would NEVER be president! # think again!

My maternal home can't be on the news for things like this naa. do you know people can be engineered to commit suicide? RIP

Go and hang yourself. idiot!
