Ambode will be rejected by majority of geopolitical zones in Lagos State, but Epe will stand by his side.

Other parts of Lagos identified him as the only governor since 1999 that abandoned projects of his predecessors at detriment of the populace.

You're right, he did wonderfully well in Epe. I feel they should allow other axis like Badagry and Ikorodu this time around. These two Axis as far as I know are yet to produce any governor.

Sunday Thomas will be missed as commissioner of insurance. I hope the new commissioner takes insurance to the next level in Nigeria.

None of your business leave NOUN students alone be happy for them period president did a good job period.

lol. I was a student... Abeg I don't want to prolong matter. God us all..

This is highly unnecessary. Besides, before one finishes a course in that school, age will no longer be by ones side

Buba Marwa should not be made redundant with the ambassadorial post. His energy and efficiency should be well utilised in other agencies like NERC among many others

epondudu:
Pls who is going to pay for all these damages?

Only if they have insurance policies.

Good day Family.

I've been a long time follower of nairaland, although in the dark, I've finally decided to register. Please welcome me.


I need an advice from you.

I want to buy a new phone and my budget is between 220,000 to 270,000 naira.. What is the best phone for that price.

NB: I am open to any product

Try Oppo phones. Check slot, black hub in Ikeja computer village

Silentgroper:
how does it taste?? .. looks like something I'd to crunch on while seeing movies...


Is it true there are eatable cassava?? .. like just peel the body and boil it like yam??

Yes, even sweeter than yam.

There are some local yams we grew up knowing, called ISU Ewura, haven't seen them in ages.

They were good subs for the conventional yams and they grow anywhere then.

I didnt stop until I got my money back. I was ready to take it to Twitter as a last resort

That was exactly what I did, I bombed mtn and the bank on twitter, no breathing space. At last after 6 days, I got my money yesterday.

Hoelujohn:
They are joking if it's the same obasanjo farms that is in Ota where I live. They have the best power supply in Ogun state if not even in Nigeria. I am sure they have nothing less than 23.5 hours per day.

You are very correct. I stayed there for years. Was there days ago, they enjoy light light anything. Very rare for prolong blackout to happen. I guess it's courtesy of the TCN station towards Ijagba.

Houses have significantly appreciated and the environment changed due to influx of pple as a result of the stable power in that axis.

arkonpoint:
I had similar experience, just a #200 transaction, I had to let it go, not worth the hassle.

These people are making a hell of money off us. A let go, by thousands and millions of people increases their fortune.

I can't count how much I have let go but then, this has to stop.

Nairaland777:
It's been a long ride between me and MTN. I made a purchase of 75GB from MTN for 16,000naira through MYMTN app on 9th of February, and transferred money to their auto-generated Wema bank account number.

The transfer was successful, even the MYMtn app told me it was successful, only for me not to get the data I paid for. I reported the case to MTN, they told me after 24 to 48 hours I should get an auto refund.

I waited but still didn't get a refund. I felt like this is one way MTN earns extra money from their customers. They kept telling me to go to my bank to get my refund if I haven't received it yet. I emailed my bank, went to my bank, even threatened my bank with CBN if I didn't get my refund back. My bank assured me that they haven't received any refund.

So I told my bank to send my bank statement to MTN cr banking email as proof that I haven't received any refund.

That made no difference to them, MTN still told me the exact same thing, that I should visit my bank for refund, can you imagine this MTN? Even after doing what they asked me to do, I was told the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN.

So I decided to involve NCC, it was only then that MTN called me that they didn't receive the money I sent to them, telling me to visit my bank. I told them if they truly made an auto refund they should give me the transaction number of the auto refund so I can give my bank to ask why I haven't received it. Still nothing.

It was very frustrating, trying to get my hard earned money back from MTN, and being told the same USE LESS message of "please visit your bank if you haven't gotten your autorefund."

The time of victory came when I visited Wema Bank to enquire about the Wema Bank account I sent the money to, it was named CORALPAY draw PG, I was told that it was a virtual account made for MTN to be passed through a payment processor, that they didn't have direct access to it at Wema. So I called MTN again, and asked to talk to the support team. Luckily for me, one of the support team had worked in the bank before, he told me to report the transaction as erronous transfer, since my bank could not lodge it as a failed transaction.

So on the 26th March 2024, about 45 days after the failed transaction, I got my money back from MTN.

In case you also have failed transaction issue with telecommunication providers and they are giving you use less instructions, just involve NCC customer protection department, and report the transaction at your bank as erroneous transfer, so your bank will contact the beneficiary and financial institution to have the money recalled back into your account. Also let the network providers support team (NOT customer care team) know that you have reported the transaction as erroneous transfer to your bank manager through a written letter, and that they will receive a recall request from your bank.

This is the ONLY way to get your money bank. It's not by going to MTN office or threatening anyone.

This is highly frustrating. I am having similar issue. I bought airtimethrough the useless MyMtnApp, I was debited and not credited. I have contacted mtn, they referred me to the bank, the bank is asking that I give them five working days. It is crazy, parting with that huge sum at this time.

RandomFellow:
Lol... One of my boys stay there. He said they've increased their tariff

I just read that AEDC had a glitch which caused the application of the Band A Tardif to all their customers irrespective of the band they belong to.

I know Karmo, I don't think they have light that much to be placed in band A .

RandomFellow:
I'm very sad this morning. I bought 10k worth of electricity units, and got only 41 units. I bought 5k worth last week Friday, and got 68units!!! I told a friend, and she decided to do 1k. Well... She got 4.1😭😭😭. We didn't even know we are on the BAND A! We barely get 12-15 hours of power daily. Some days, we don't even get 10 Hours! Ahhhh!!! AEDC, I don't want to be in Band A anymore 😭😭😭, take me to Band F! BAND Y seems like a good idea right now.

5k worth finishes with in a week or so in my house. I'm just an average random fellow on the street, trying to make ends meet.

I have to admit, being a good citizen doesn't pay anymore ooo... Ahhh... AEDC... 41 units for 10k? Are you trying to send me back to the village? Do you know how many jobs I have to do to raise that 10k? Is there something we should do that we are not doing? Tell us ooo, AEDC tell us what to do; because I'm not ready to start paying an upward of 70k for power in a month. I'm sorry, but you know what I'm planning right? No vex

Please where do you stay in Abuja?

This is crazy!

They wear school uniforms in UNN? Lol. Where’s the individuality?

Certain faculties have uniforms for specific days. I know of education and Agriculture in Unibadan.

Moony45:
Auto insurance in this part of the world is just a scam. Its not a real insurance

It is not. Things have since changed with the regulator Niacom doing its job.

Dantedasz:
Good day.

Pics of the Panasonic AC pls

Put the water in plastic bottles. They will save you of this ugliness. @bullfallo

Love800:
What about other ingredients(palm oil, pepper, salt) non is added?
What flour you talking here?

They are added, corn flour.

Surestart school Abuja, lots of such investments from corrupt acts cover Abuja.

Love800:
Do u know the food?
How is it prepared?

Not really, but have seen the food and heard my colleagues in sec school talk about it.

The beans would nearly be done before the flour is added and stir till it thickens.

Only if proper implementation, monitoring and evaluation would be down and really trickle down to the common man. If not, this seems too huge for implementation within a year for a sub national government.

NL1960:
State secondary schools use the State BECE to promote to SS1. Unity schools use the Federal BECE to promote to SS1. Most catholic schools make it compulsory even though they might not use it to promote but if you want to transfer to SS1 of the catholic school, they require it because they trust it more than the result from private secondary schools. Private secondary schools do not use it.

@stargirl2011 this is the answer to your question. Decide from here.

Soon now government will make donations that won't do much meanwhile government ought to make insurance compulsory for markets and the traders for rest of mind.

The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) says there has been no incident of data compromise in respect of the National Identity Number capturing by any of its outlets and agents.

The Commission said it had nothing to do with the alleged breach of data of citizens by the private organisation, XpressVerify.

In a statement released on Sunday by the NIMC, signed by its Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke, it said: “The Commission wishes to state that it offers NIN verification and other services through licensed partners. However, XpressVerify is not one of the Commission’s licensed partners”.

The statement further said: “We express our gratitude to our media partners and the whistleblowers for bringing this to our attention and wish to assure Nigerians and legal residents that there is no data breach of any sort and the Citizens’ data is safe and secure in Nigeria’s National identity database.

“The Director General and Chief Executive Officer of NIMC, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote has promptly ordered a comprehensive investigation into the matter to find out if any of the Commission’s Tokenisation verification agents has in any way breached the licensing agreement either directly or through any of their sub-licensees.”

To everyone interested.

I think this is commendable.

Unfortunately no news or info site made it. The thirst for knowledge and information is fast eroding.

This is worrisome.

Oh, congratulations to her. I was following the contest keenly. There are still a lot of brainy students who are focused and a pride to the Nigerian society.
