Health › Re: I'm 34 Years Old And I Bedwet. I Need Help Please by highoctane: 1:10pm On Jul 01, 2023
Adeshi:
At first i thought it was stress, but yesterday, i was home throughout and it happened again. This is like the 4th time this year. I'm really concerned and i do not mind any advice as to what could cure the problem. I called a friend of mine this morning to request to see a urologist, he said i might have to wait 2-3 months to see one.

I do not want to wait another 2 months, my marriage is just 2years and my wife is starting to worry too.

A 34 years old married man still betwets. I need help please.
It's medically treated, by urologists

it is called Enuresis

Don't discuss this medical issue with so called general physician, only an urologist.

Was it contactless payment?... if it's not contactless payment, then your issue is different i guess..
That's the issue I experienced, that arose leading to my comments.
Business › Re: CBN Sets N50,000 As Daily Limit On Contactless Payments by highoctane: 5:38am On Jun 29, 2023
obailala:
This is for contactless payments, not your regular transfer or card payment.

With contactless payment cards, all you need do is bring your card close to a compliant POS machine and payment would be automatically taken from your card without you having to insert the card in the machine or inputting your pin. Contactless payments don't exist in Nigeria YET; I'm guessing they're just about to introduce it. But I doubt it would work in Nigeria though, especially given the sheer number of fraudsters we have.
I don't comment on what I did not try or experienced

Your explanation ain't in order.
I woke up by 4.06am, that's my usual wake up, to read about this news.
I tried to transfer the sum of 50k from my OPAY to my Gtbank account, the response was I have exceeded my daily transfer, the transfer was declined, I scaled it down to 45k, the response was your transfer fee will be #405. The transfer was successful, I want to reverse the transfer from my Gtbank account to OPAY,same response, same result.
What you gonna say or explain once again about this?

Family › Re: My Husband Wants Us To Relocate To The Village by highoctane: 5:59pm On Jun 20, 2023
Kobojunkie:
1. Let's not descend to lying now abeg! Marist was in fact a Catholic school. I know this for a fact. It was not a matter of enthusiasm but the school being out of the reach of the majority there was the problem. Most kids pined for a place in Marist back when I was there — they thought Marist kids were cool — but cost and status were against them. undecided

Stop with the desperate attempt at making this discussion about your ego for crying out loud. We are speaking here of OP's husband finding a good school in the village to send his kids to. Public schools are always there but clearly, Marist isn't a public school and is way out of their budget. undecided
It will be my pleasure if your village may be within the OP budget. Please shift.
You got no village you can be proud of.
End of this discussion

Were you in Uturu in the 80s? Did you attend Marist Brothers back then? undecided

I attended school in a village myself but I know that the majority of the indigenes of that village could not afford to attend that same school that I did. They had to find their levels, so to speak, at local schools in the area instead. Is that anything to boast of as far as someone who lives in the village? undecided

Remember this is a discussion about the possibility of finding affordable good schools for OP's kid in the village and not your ego. undecided
Marist Brothers Academy was seen by locals as Catholic Church School and are not enthusiastic about it.Most locals attended, most of us are educated outside Uturu, I was a student of Government Technical College Owerri class of 1981. My Elder sister attended Government Girls College Owerri. My cousin's Government Boys College Owerri, Many attended Government college Umuahia, Ihube Boys College, Methodist College in Umuahia etc.
ABSU and Gregory Universities have many graduates who re indigene of Uturu,
I am proud of Uturu land of the brave and resourcefulness.
Let's have your village, you might direct the OP to it.
Family › Re: My Husband Wants Us To Relocate To The Village by highoctane: 5:04pm On Jun 20, 2023
Kobojunkie:
But most of the kids born in Uturu can't even afford to attend that school. I know this one quite well since I spent some time in Uturu myself back in the day. Those associated with Marist Brothers and ABSU could probably boast of something but generally Uturu had nothing else to offer in the way of industry and the lot. A lot of those who attended the school in question came from the big cities, as far as Lagos State. Instead, many of the local children have to commute daily the other way towards Okigwe over that steep hill to get to school every day. (I almost died of a heart attack every time I had to venture over that road back then) Also, solar-powered homes are only common as far as the rich and political class who settled in the area. The vast majority who are poor have no access to any of that. undecided

So, if this man is moving to the village because he has no money, what makes you think that living in a place like Uturu where he can't afford to send his kids to Marist Brothers Juniorate Academy would benefit him? undecided
What a shame. May be you re in my town in the 80s..
You didn't read of Masters Energy Industries? You didn't read of Ik Ibe group of Industries, You re not aware of Sab group, Chimezie groups,
I am happy you indicated that some rich persons existed not non indigenes, but indigenes
If you re proud of your village or town let's have it.

I'm not talking about doing business. I'm talking about hasty removal of subsidy on day one in office. It is not a wise step
Are you aware, may be not that one of IBB policy is to remove fuel subsidy and liberalisation of trade. Olu Falae, Pat Utomi at least I can remember these two person vividly and other prominent Nigerians argued agresively against it. Been known as a Madonna got into the mix probably.

Iamzik:
No need to be emotional about this. Common sense will tell you that we should have a working refinery first before subsidy is removed totally.

Once the queues return it will affect the price of food, transport and every other thing. That's not a good way to start day 1 in office and nobody will be spared the hassles
Government has nothing to do with businesses. Business should be given to competent individuals to run, they will then establish friendly tax laws, friendly policies to create enabling business environment.
Governments have no business in doing business.

So what separates the Minister of State from Permanent Secretaries or other non political heads of ministries?
It is better you re a perm Sec or a DG to a ministry than a Minister of State or whatever. I am speaking from experience. They re like BMW spare tyres, rarely used.

TonyeBarcanista:
No Sir, Ministers of State are NOT deputies to Ministers - They are all ministers with different portfolios. It was the fault of Buhari not to assign specific responsibility to Keyamo, leaving him at the mercy of the principal minister. Hadi Sirika was a junior minister in the Ministry of Transportation (2015-2019) but was defined specific responsibilities and exercises full powers of a minister - Memo, Contract etc relating to Aviation.
A good President or
Managing director DO NOT micro-manage his or her managers, from OBj to PMB , Ministers of State have little or no action in whatever portfolio that may have been assigned to them.
Some have been asking Keyamo where is the 774000 jobs created, the primary Minister can hijack it and give peanuts to his junior minister.
I have been close to a former minister of state.
Primary Minister's office is always a beehive of activities, while Minister's of State office looks like a kiosk.
Politics › Re: Keyamo To Buhari: It’s Unconstitutional To Appoint Minister Of State by highoctane: 8:39am On May 25, 2023
TonyeBarcanista:
Minister and Minister of State are simply ranks within a ministry. Both occupants are ministers but with different responsibilities and hierarchy within the ministry. It still doesn't negate the fact that both are ministers with equal privileges at the Federal Executive Council.

It's like in the Senate, all 109 Senators are equal Senators but the Senate President is of higher rank than Others in the Chamber - likewise a Senate Committee Chairman is of higher rank than other members of the Committee - yet, they all have the same right and privileges as Senators
He said Ministers of State , like Deputy Governors are spare tyres in Mazi Ngige voice.
They can't make decisions, they can't award contracts, any suggestions they give to the primary Minister,during any FEC meeting, he will present it as his own.
