it doesn’t work that way
He should do the time
In some countries, the time you have been in detention is counted. Even in Nigeria, in some cases, that is put into consideration.

Let's have some mercy.

If he was arrested in 2012, why is he just being sentenced? This is 13 years after.

He should be freed as he has done over 10 years in prison already.

She got police to arrest him, accusing him of being a scammer aka 419.

Kaaaiiii....the guy dodged a bullet! Imagine this girl as wife and you're suddenly in a bad position...her mouth go drive man to depression!
All she needed to do was to beg the bobo that he shouldn't be angry.

Though I felt he should have knelt down for her, but considering all he has done for her, she should have been matured enough to accept the proposal anyway it went.

I mean, the car he gave her is grander than his own. That shop will also be bringing in some good kishi for her.

He should let her go. She is bad market.

Israelis need to understand that thousands of Palestinians are being killed, the vast majority are unarmed civilians.

They are humans too like the hostages.

This is where I paused to ask my self, what if it were ordinary citizens running into Nigeria for their lives without passports how would Nigeria have treated them. This battle between military and boko haram was preventable. If Mohammed Yusuf was not killed, there wouldn't have been anytime like this.
Or if his killers had faced justice, all this could have been prevented.
Travel › Re: Trump Increases US Visa Fee For Skilled Workers By $100,000 by grandstar(m): 2:19am On Sep 21, 2025

Good

I love this .

Let all those who support irresponsible government in Nigeria because of tribalism only to run back to America can now stay back in Nigeria and enjoy the useless president or government that they supported.

No more America .
Boss,
Tinubu inherited a bankrupt economy. 97% of government revenue was going towards debt servicing. Imagine your salary was 1m, and after servicing debt, you have 30,000 left. Buharis government was now dependent on CBN printing money to lend to it.

The foreign reserves were empty. The net foreign reserves, which is actually forex the central bank has access to, had only $4bn. This cannot even cover one month of imports, while the minimum it should have is 4 months import cover. Meanwhile, it was owing buyers of forex $7bn.

The forex scarcity was so bad that some multinationals like Shoprite and GSK left the country. Airlines that were owed forex like the Emirates suspended operations.

Tinubu had no option but to undergo radical reforms. First, he ended petrol subsidies. That stopped rhe FG from borrowing huge amounts of money to finance the subsidy. A lot of the debts borrowed during Buharis Tenure was to pay for this subsidy. That's why all the 3 major presidential candidates said they were ending the petrol subsidies.

Next, he floated the Naira. Why was the foreign reserves empty? It was because forex was sold below its true market When floated, the Naira swiftly fell to around $1- N1,600 Tinubu was hoping the Naira would be around N700-900 but the market resisted it.

The question now is- are the reforms working?

The FG is now spending less than 50% of revenue on debt servicing. The net foreign reserves had grown to $41bn. The country's credit score was upgraded.

That was why Charles Soludo and Okonjo-Iweala said the economy was stabilising.

Do I like all Tinubu's policies? No. I think he is borrowing money for many unnecessary projects. Nevertheless, the reforms were necessary and I give him kudos for it.

It would have been better if she had informed the Home Office she lost her Dad and would like to add extra hours.
It's too late now
She must have been doing 20 hour plus before her dad died.

My younger sister finished with a first class. My older brother has some really rich friends who could give her a juicy job. She refused. She preferred to travel for her masters.

If she starts suffering now in the UK dye yo lack of funds, she'd start whining.
Travel › Re: Nigerian Girl Breaks Down In Tears After Her UK Student Visa Was Terminåted by grandstar(m):
I don't know ow whether I should feel sorry for her.

Overseas education no be do or die affair. That is the koko.

There are so many underfunded students in rhe UK and elsewhere. If you advise them not to travel, they won't listen.

A year's tuition for their education could easily set up a flourishing business in Nigeria.

Stop exaggerating. From your write up.its pbvious u r in a dead rural vewi local area.200 phone a day
easy with the lies bro
Imagine a poor man asking Dangote what business can he go into and Dangote advises him to set up a cement plant, would you say that was realistic?

The man here is asking a question for himself and not for me or you. I was in the UK for holiday in 2014 and 2020 for holiday. I came back 2 days before the British lockdown was to commence. Pastor Adefarasin was on the same flight.

I live in Akute, Ogun. Yes, it isn't in Ikeja where my dad's house, but I am okay with. I don't want to have stress paying my rent. It's a 3 bedroom flat.

Phone charging is N200 per phone. He also charges power banks for 200. My bigger powerbank was 300.

We've no had power for 2 weeks due to a major fault. My generator packed up due to stress buit I have fixed it and it is presently on.

There are days the guy I charge with has no space for any new phones.

I have no interest in going into the business. Just giving someone advice.

Have you tried to do a transaction of above $100 with that Providus Bank card? Forget providus their rate is black market
It's what I have been using for the past 3 years hassle free.

Since the floating of the Naira, there's very little difference now between the official and black market rate.

Her argument is valid. You shouldn't train children with that type of money. It could spoil their future. It's similar to kids of police personnel .
And don't be surprised that once in a while, an olosho may dash him some sex.

It's a very immoral environmental. The lure to cheat will be very strong

Get a Providus Bank Naira card. It's very good. It even works with PayPal.

All you need to do is open a Providus Bank account.

Purchases are limited to $1,000 per month. If you want unlimited purchaez, you go for their dollar card.

Just when the Chinese announced investment worth $350m into Angola's agricultural industry? huh

Few days ago, the same "protests" in Indonesia where Chinese investors have ploughed over $5BN into factories and mines.

Why are some people unhappy with Chinese investments across the global south?
The Chinese generally pay low wages and that might be the root of the resentment.
They may also be edging out local businesses.
Family › Re: If Income Comes From Both Husband & Wife, The Two Must Do Chores Too - Lady Says by grandstar(m): 11:41am On Sep 15, 2025
I feel sorry for her.

Men by nature are not home keepers. Yes, I do admit they must do some work in the house but don't expect equality when it comes to house work.

Both still have separate roles to play, roles which complement each other.

That's why a wife tries to monopolise the kitchen, and not a man. If a man tries to control the kitchen, it can bring about serious disagreement
