If not that employers behave anyhow in Nigeria, the employer has no right to withhold his pension...

It is his... It is his sweat...... Whether he left or not, in as much as there were no fraudulent case against him, they don't have any right to withhold his pension

it's not his former employer that is withholding his pension, the pension fund administrator wrote his former company for confirmation of his employment status which is the standard procedure before any pension contributor can access the 25% of his contribution when jobless

The only election that's clear LP won in Rivers state is that of President. Not minding the shenanigan perpetuated by Wike, but the rest election as postulated by this man is highly doubtful. If we are to go by his words, it means Fubara he represented at the event did not win the gubernatorial election

Damn!

I see massive pains loading from our SW brothers, they'll evade this thread and wail bitterly while comparing abia to Lagos which is a very large dirty slum.

Now imagine Abia having 24/7 electricity, the pains wil be too much for our SW brothers

abia state having 24/7 power supply is not only good for Abia and the south east but for Nigeria in general, it's a good development for Nigeria and it will be beneficial for the rest of the country in more than one way. If Abia is removed from the national grid, there will be more power ration to other areas from the grid. The Abia template if successful as envisaged will be a template for other states, and most importantly it will reduce the overpopulation of Lagos as most Abians and other south easterners will move to Aba to invest and work due to the development to be derived from uninterrupted power supply

Haiti of Jean Claude Duvellier aka Papa Doc and his son Baby Doc, Haiti has been a bastion of political instability, natural disasters and poverty. Haiti is far away from the African continent but the African mentality in them hasn't been influenced by the continental separation. When I think about Haiti I always feel the black race is cursed

If you think state police will be panacea to the current state of insecurity in Nigeria, you should have a rethink. Instead of state police being the solution, it will rather worsen it, there will be abuses by state police officers, citizens will be harrased, more rights abuses, collision with criminals and proliferation of weapons. Imagine state police operatives being owed salaries and turning rogues. The lasting solution to insecurity is good governance

Let my president sleep, he's just human like anyone of us, the job of a president isn't easy, it's almost a round the clock job

This is trash, if we are talking about the rate of inflation, I can agree.

I heard the explosions from my house that's 6 kilometers away, it was reminiscent of the Ikeja cantonment bomb blast of 2001

I do 1.5gb for 7 days @ N300, though it hardly last 3 days. It's available for MTN and Airtel

Dead On Arrival, the lawmaker is a jester, he knows no bill as this will ever be passed into law, but when he has nothing tangible to contribute in the house, he will raise this kind of bill to prove he's doing something for his constituency and zone. It will be difficult if not impossible to create any more states with the hurdles thrown in the process by the constitution. Even creating additional local government is almost impossible talk less of states. The LGAs created by some states are not even recognized by the constitution and they are there for administrative purposes

Is the fact.. some nation's in NATO have to work for their salvation. You can't just sit there doing nothing while the big boys are busy loosing soldiers for protecting you. Mbanuuuu.
Is cheating.
Trump stand for justice and hate cowardice

Trump stand for justice my foot, The Saudi heir apparent, Bin Salman, ordered Jamal Kashoggi killing at the Saudi embassy in Turkey, with all the investigations pointing to Salman as the one that ordered the killing, what did Trump do? Nothing, rather he went to Riyadh and fete with Bin Salman

This only affects flights from Nigeria landing in Niger not flights passing over Niger airspace.

As Ilobi Òkè irinja is the hometown of the IGP, I expect security to be beefed up in that area. The herdsmen and their herds are destructive and I believe they must have been warned by the community on their destructive tendencies, as they refused to heed the community warnings, the people had to take the law into their hands by eliminating the herders. I prayed the herders won't now mobilize to attack the community because that's their stock in trade. I hope the people living in that area are not sleeping with their 2 eyes closed.

I don't know the parameter that makes Lagos state government to impose the fine of 50k, why not 5k? With our prisons overcrowded, we'll have a lot of stubborn and ignorant pedestrians in prison for this minor infraction, and this is another way for KAI officials and policemen to make money by baiting unsuspecting Lagosians to fall victim and extort them. Most laws especially that of traffic are draconian as those in authority know that culprits will be the already tormented masses. The traffic law and punishment for contraveventions by confiscation of vehicles and motorcycles for plying one way roads for the former and restricted roads for the latter is a typical example of the draconian nature of these laws.

RIP to Kayode, I remember in an impromptu interview he wanted to conduct with the late Stephen Keshi in the 90s, Keshi told him in Yoruba to get the microphone off his face "Kayode, gbé kini yí kúrò níwájú mi). He was one of those sports journalists that made sure we know what's going on when Super Eagles used to camp at Papendal in Holland before any major tournament

aribisala0:
When you talk of a delay that implies a schedule
Delays are measurable e.g a woman's pregnancy is supposed to be 9 months
So if it is 10 months old we can say there is a one month delay
Did Dangote agree a schedule with any one and by that schedule how long is the delay?

don't you think the refined products should have been in the market by now, or you think Dangote refines to store the products in the refinery. Pricing of these refined petroleum products is strategic and can be volatile. Things have to be carefully thought out, the commercial side and the economic impact have to be weighed. Petroleum products especially petrol is at the heart of Nigeria's economy

aribisala0:
What delay are you referring to exactly?

delay in getting the refined products to the market

I can say categorically that the delay has to do with pricing, they are being careful on how the market will react to the prices, any pricing higher than the current price of diesel and aviation fuel will make Nigerians skeptic about the benefit of the refinery and will dash hope of a reduction in petrol price when the refinery begins petrol production

Though so far so good, but I am still cautious about this hype on Nwabali, the defenders are doing a great job in curtailing opponents from making incursions into the dangerous area and making sure the attempts on goal are blocked. With the work the defenders and the team in general are putting in, Nwabali is being shielded from those shots. For me, he's not been tested enough. I pray this remain so throughout the tournament. The defence including Nwabali himself are doing a great job,

Same story, regime after regime, year after year, season after season. When are we going to make power available to Nigerians 24/7, seems we are doomed on this power issue till eternity, since the inception of the 4th republic, it's been promise. after promise from Obasanjo to Tinubu but no positive change, it's even worst. In my area with "one day on and one day off" load shedding, we still hardly get aggregate 8 hours of power during our day on. Is there anything like dividend of democracy for the ordinary folks. I remember during the Abacha era, it was much better than what we have now. Every government from Obasanjo till now is a failure. They all fail to deliver on the power issue. Trillions sunk, but virtually nothing to show for it

Judolisco:
corrupt politicians must be represented in court by a lawyer... It's d law, if u can't afford one government would get one for u free of charge... So lawyers must do their job

I am not saying they are not doing their job, they too are being paid their briefs from proceeds of corruption

Honourable Minister said your passport will be ready 2 weeks after capturing, but a sister who went for capturing yesterday was given a date in April to come for her passport, those guys at the passport offices are not on the same page with the minister, they seem not to care about the reforms the minister is aiming at

Most of the big and the so called successful lawyers today make their money from politicians and governments , especially those ones representing politicians at election tribunals. Some even helped indicted politicians to scuttle their prosecution for corruption in courts.while some are the go between in bribing judges for favourable judgments at the tribunals. The 30m dollars Afe claimed he received from government most likely happened during Obj presidency, he was Obj's lawyer and friend. And he got the brief because of his friendship with Obj. Apart from politicians themselves, the sector that benefits from this democracy most are the lawyers, some even help corrupt governors and other public office holders to launder money in the name of being "paid for representing the state in litigations". No one should form a saint here, they all make their money from the corrupt system.

INTEGRITYA1:
On what ground did Ivory Coast qualified on top that 4:0.

Or it's just because of be an host Country.

Those who follow up on the process should help and give us the brief.

The first 2 teams in each of the 6 groups qualify automatically while the 4 best teams among the 3rd placed in the groups qualify too to make up the 16 teams to play in the second round knockout matches. Ivory Coast is the 4th best 3rd place finisher. Assuming Zambia had not lost to Morroco, they would have made it instead of Ivory Coast

How did you upload your passport photo successfully, in my own case it's rejecting my passport photo

These judgements are to maintain the status quo, they are all political decisions, it's about not upsetting the apple cart. It will be hard for any winner in a governorship election to be sacked by the Supreme Court.

There's nothing new from what I read here, Passport application and payment has been going on online since, the problem is going for biometric capturing.
Immigration officers at passport offices from their countenance when they know you apply on your own online is terrible, they make it look you've done something abominable. Officers asking you terrible questions because you don't give anyone of them 55k to apply for you. Imagining demanding for bribe of 20,000 naira because you dare renew your passport 7 months to expiration. They even ask you for payment receipt when it's stated in the portal documents all you need to come with when coming for capturing.
I helped my younger sister apply online, on getting to the immigration office for capturing, she was asked who's facilitating it for her, she replied her brother apply for her online, she was asked to go get her payment receipt, but payment receipt isn't one of the documents to tender during capturing, besides you can't get a date and an application form for capturing without payment. But I sensed they just want my sister to see how much is collected from her in case she might have given a oanutrageous amount to the person who helped her apply online.
I believe this next phase of online application is to eliminate the hassle of going to passport office to go waste one's time and harassment from rogue officers by allowing applicants to upload the needed documents. Because our NINs are required during application, our biometrics can be generated during the NIN verification

koondog:
Even Yorubaas too. Based on WAEC results in recent years, they are not far from Northerners. Evidenced in how both of them vote failures.

even you guys that don't vote failures, we can see how you troop to regions that vote wrongly for a better life. If you guys have not been voting failures, your region would have been like Dubai right now, but no it's that Yoruba region that vote failures you all troop to for greener pastures
