Amb1045: During the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, many Igbo people fled other parts of the country for the East because they were being killed and massacred wantonly and the government was doing nothing about it.
Many abandoned their homes, properties and businesses for safety. Of them, was a young Igbo architect who had a young Yoruba banker as a neighbour in Apapa, Lagos. He also abandoned his home and with his family fled for the East.
However, the young Yoruba banker, while the war lasted, rented out his neighbour's house and kept every kobo for him while he was in the East. After the war, the Igbo architect returned to Lagos and the Yoruba banker handed over the entire proceeds of the rent and also the house to the Igbo architect.
Some few years later, the Igbo architect became the Vice President of Nigeria and the Yoruba banker established a commercial bank, the first by a private citizen in the country's history.
However, he could not get a license to begin banking operations. Many people were against him because it was unheard of at the time.
At this time, the banker remembered his neighbour who was now the Vice President and tracked him to the Christ Church Cathedral, Marina, Lagos on a particular Sunday. He had tried to get appointment to see him in his office but without success.
He and his wife then decided to go lay ambush for him in Church but the security men did not allow them. They then decided to sit by the pew close to the aisle to beat the security in the hope that the Vice President would see them while he walked to the front row. Yet, he still didn't see them.
After the church program they positioned that he will see them on his way out. However, the people following him out and security blocked his view. That was when the banker's wife decided to take a risk and like the woman with the issue of blood, she pulled the Vice President's cloth to get his attention who then turned and saw his old friend.
The young banker then narrated his plight and told the Vice President how he had tried to see him and what he needed to see him for. He told him about his application for a bank licence.
“Don’t worry yourself. Just come tomorrow at the Federal Executive Council meeting which I would preside because President Shehu Shagari would not be there,'' the Vice President assured him.
By 3.00pm the next day, the Finance Minister called the banker on phone that his licence was ready. The rest they say is history.
That young banker was Otunba Michael Olasubomi Balogun while the architect in this narrative was one of Africa’s Elder statesmen and former Vice President of the Republic of Nigeria, late Dr. Alex Ekwueme. The bank is what is now First City Monument Bank.
- One good turn truly deserves another.
- It is good to love our neighbours as ourselves, and importantly - Honesty pays.
[quote author=Kipling post=111531320]Pm good people of naira land. I really need help.
I'm in my early twenties and I'm very addicted to pornography and masturbation. My own level of addiction is so severe that when I see people here complaining of being addicted I just laugh.
I started since 2017 and I have been masturbating since then even when I didn't have a mobile to satisfy my addiction, I borrow just so I'll be alright.
Right now, I just finished masturbating about three times in a row since yesterday, even after today I vowed never to masturbate again, went to my history to clear off porn pages. I mistakenly clicked on one and I masturbated again. I really need help all round, when I mean help I mean actual help.
Your suggestions and insults are welcomed. I deserve them.
I can relate with OP cause I was once there but a book about pornography and masturbation I read changed everything thank God exposing everything
@Op in case you need those books you can DM on my WhatsApp number 09071660847 God no go shame us

phoneport: The suspect was arrested from Anand Vihar, Uttam Nagar, in New Delhi on Tuesday, March 8. A Nigerian man has been arrested by the Thiruvananthapuram city cyber-crime police in Kerala for posing as the Director General of Police, DGP, Anil Kant to defraud a school teacher of Rs 14 lakh (N7.5m).
The accused who was produced in Dwarka court on Tuesday, will be brought to the state on Wednesday.
Police said that the mobile phones of the Nigerian national that was used for the fraud have also been seized.
The complainant, Anitha, based at Kundara in Kollam, had received a message that she has won an online lottery and Rs 14 lakh has to be paid as tax, failing which a case will be booked against her name.
After she ignored the message, she received a WhatsApp message with a photo and details of the state police chief, saying that he (the DGP) was in Delhi and the money had to be transferred to the account number specified before he returns to the state.
Following this, she inquired with the office of the state police chief from where she was informed that the police chief was indeed in New Delhi. Finding that the information received regarding SPC’s location from the state police headquarters matched with what she received in the WhatsApp message and believing that the message was legitimate, she immediately remitted the money to the account number specified in the WhatsApp message.
After realising that she has been duped, she filed a complaint with the police.
TkhGuy: I will advice you to go back to your village if you are looking for a girl to marry, look for the one that doesn't have social network handle,
Look for the one that doesn't have flashy expensive phone,
Look for the one that will listen to your advice & ready to implement it,
I traveled home to get a girl to get laid to, I got two, one have social media handles, she can't cook, she can't take of her environment, & worst she is rude and arrogant, she is beautiful but no character
The other one have phone, not smartphone, she doesn't have social network handle, she is so respectful, cooks and she is beautiful, lastly I broke il into tears when she told me she is still a virgin, the night were kissing for hours, I thought her how to kiss, & this time there is a lot we are learning together.
I guess you already know my choice,
Our wedding will be coming up by October 2022,
Don't force yourself on any girl, don't knee to propose to any girl in public, follow my instructions & get the best that will stick with you,

Wisemfon: A lady I referred for a bank job in the first week of June got a call this morning to resume work at an Uyo branch of the said commercial bank. She was fortunate to be among the few applicants that were shortlisted from among a large pool of graduates who got interviewed for the jobs. No, but she won't be resuming!
She finally lost the opportunity because of a phone call. She had received the call in the early hours of today, 10:00am precise. It was from the HR department of the bank.
But she didn't say "hello".
Her first remark when she picked was "who's this?"
Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?"
The HR person goes "Am I speaking to Miss xxxxxxx?"
She felt the question is unnecessary! And she gave her final response.
"Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word!
I got a feedback from the HR by 12noon today and I listened to that conversation. Those kinds of phone calls are always recorded for reference purposes.
Aunty lost the job because she lacks Phone Conversations Etiquette! I listened to the recorded version of that conversation.
She lost the job because she believes every unknown male caller is a "chyker".
You see? After all it's not always because HR people are "despicable" as they have been labeled by Nigerians!
Why would a Homosapien answer a phone call like this in the year 2020AD?
Watch out! Your next phone call might be your breakthrough! But your ill-manners could cost you the miracle
Offpoint1: Too many unanswered prayers, I quit praying and start working more, building myself more, learning more skills and I start getting results and I say what's the point? Everything you prayed for doesn't happen until you work for it... then what's the point of the prayers? If I asked my earthly father's stuffs and he continuously doesn't give me until I work for it, what's the point of asking? let me start working for it since it's more effective than asking for it.
There are too many things we don't want to speak up both Christians and Muslims because we're too afraid of the hell threats... 50% of humans are serving God out of fear of hell, the rest 50% are serving God out of personal greed which is promised of heaven.
If you're down at accident scene with injuries, no amount of prayers will save you if you're not taking to hospital for medical attention In sickness it's still the same In needs your fellow humans will be at your mercy when you speak up or when they noticed the signs.
Maybe the Brain behind our existence Left us to our own faith, Maybe he made us to be our own gods by having each others backs.
I've gotten to the stage I'm no longer afraid to ask questions, I've stopped buying that "you can't question God" lines pastors and preachers had been giving me... I've stopped buying "the portal and clay" analogy. Clay doesn't complain about how the portal mould it because it's an inanimate object with no consciousness... Don't expect me to be like that.
Danhoys: I thought I knew what dirtiness was until my cousin's sister started living with us. We gave her a room, a roof over her head until she finds her bearing.
She's an orphan, almost going to 28 years, and sells food on Sundays for cash.
But, looking at her, she's the replica of the word 'unappealing.'
Her hair is always shabby, dirty, and she never attempt to even braid it to keep it in order. Black is beautiful, but hers comes in brown patches and acne.
She doesn't even care.
We have a water closet, and she's ready to keep popping without an attempt to flush. The last time I traveled and left the home for a week, the toilet was beyond what I could comprehend.
To the point I had to do renovation, repainted the wall, and had to hire a cleaner to help wash the toilet thoroughly.
I couldn't risk catching a disease doing it myself. That was how bad it was.
After doing all these, she stopped using the toilet, but would prefer to pop in the compound with a black nylon at night.
Sometimes, she even forget to throw them away. I had woke up very early in the morning. Saw her bucket and wanted to use it, what I saw changed my day.
I saw her feces, and since then I vowed never to touched a bucket that is isn't mine.
Aside from her protruding stomach which she does little to hide, the wrapper she wears every evening have never seen water in months.
Women are supposed to be conscious of their unclothedness, but not this cousin of mine.
She can avoid all the bathrooms, and choose to bathe outside in the open at night.
Like, around 8 to 9 pm when everyone is still very much awake.
Sometimes children will bump in on her unintentionally, and the kid will run away traumatized by what he or she have seen.
I dare not go into details to recount how she prepares the food she sales, and how dirty her coolers and kitchen utensils can swim with maggots for 6 days before she finally washes them on Saturday and prepares food on Sunday for her esteemed customers.
She's not beautiful facially, nor wear makeup or earrings since it's against her belief.
Doesn't wear clothes that suit her. If she dresses like an mbeke, that wouldn't be a problem. I just don't understand her dressing at all, coupled with her dirty look.
When it comes to religion, hers is the worse, jumping from one church to the other. And worse, we hardly sleepy at midnight.
She is always in battle with demons, with her speaking of tongues that don't just sound ridiculous, but deafening and irritating.
She's just 28, and I doubt if any man has ever stopped her on the road, and I still suspect she have never laid with a man before.
She's not mentally unstable if that is what most of you might think.
She's lively, knows how to joke and hold conversations like we all do. But when it comes to her body, grooming, overall cleaningness, she's zero.
There are grades of dirtiness, but when it comes to a stage where someone now dines and wines with feces, then there is a problem somewhere.
She's shapeless and doesn't want to do anything about it despite my numerous advise. She eats junk, like...
She runs to the backyard, gets some vegetables and fry it up with some concoctions and food is ready.
I know all their foods, and the things she cooks is nothing less than a concoction. I've eat her food once and my stomach testified.
A thoroughly analysis of her personality fascinates me to some extent. Is this her personality? Something that is genetically engineered into her that she has no control over?
Can she change?
Do you think I can help her, how?
Please aunty keep on trying cause it not easy been an orphan. Please don't forget to ask God help cause there's nothing God can't change when he is involved.

naijadrivablog: One of the latest policies is to add (or harmonise) National Identity Number to our SIM card registrations. First, they gave an unrealistic deadline but extended it to March 2021.
While this is good to curb insecurity and/or check crime and other things, the exercise is already raising more questions than answers are provided, which are:
1. What happens to Mr Ade Nwosu Hassan whose full name reflected on his NIN but whose SIM card was registered with Ade Nwosu? My neighbor is in this group of persons. He went to his network provider and he was asked to go back to NIMC to remove any name that is not in his SIM registration.
Shouldn't it it be a case where since there is no error or incomplete name of the subscriber from NIN, the network providers, who seem to be clueless as to what to do, add the full name of the subscriber to his registration (an update), since his biometrics and picture can be verified?
2. SIM cards registered in Company lines. My friend has a business where they use CUG lines so as to make cheap calls and other benefits that comes with it. He has over 30 staff and each CUG line is registered to his company and not the staff. What happens since Companies don't have NIN, let alone several NIN to register all the lines registered to it? Will those lines go dormant?
3. What happens to those whose NIN registrations has one error or another? For Example, I know someone whose name is "Adejoh Yusuf" but was mispelt as "Adejh Yusuf" You know that his NIN can't be verified as there would be discrepancies.
As at today, the Telecom companies have no clear cut information as to how to resolve some issues related to linking NIN to SIM cards yet. They keep redirecting people to NIMC, even when there may be no need. Remember that NIMC and other authorised bodies would be under immense pressure this period. And the newly created NIMC app my not resolve some issues like error correction etc. I even know someone whose NIN number on his NIN slip doesn't work but when he dials a code to get it from NIMC, another (correct) code pops up.
Thank goodness an app was launched by FG but some issues need one to be physically present at NIMC to resolve.
What is your challenge so far?
Laalas na to use simcardless� phone Na that wan go sure� pass just wishing 0
I am happy to announce to you all that the solution is finally here...
