Are you guys okay in that Nigeria?

You have now become lower than animals and have to drink their excrement?

How will a person who drinks camel urine ever think and act right?

This must be both a joke and a scam.

Wonderful

Has Yahaya Bello began selling his assets already?

Not just about news reporting but as a country we are behind in record capturing, keeping (archiving), reproducing accurate records, and data integrity.

As a country, we can't accurately say to permissible degrees of error what our road traffic fatalities are for a range of years because we don't have a good data capturing mechanism nor a working data retention system or bank. We simply just take a guess.

Get a job so you can have a life.
Only dead don't pay bills, start living before you die.

NEUDUDE:
You summed up yourself in one useless statement. You think everyone is a thieving thief like yourself.

I dont blame you tho. In a civilized country people like you are stoned in broad daylight or hanged better still burnt but sadly we are in naija where the masses are more and fantastically corrupt than the so called bad leaders lol. Chai

You and who is in Nigeria?

Slam your head on a rock man

NEUDUDE:
And to your working system. Labor is free ba? Who pays 30K minimum wage in this day and age. Is your brain defunct. How do citizens pay for your working system with 30k minimum wage idiot

You still won't pay even if you earn a million Naira monthly.

You just want hand-outs and freebies. That's your definition of a good government.

Nigerians want 24 hours power but aren't ready to pay for it.

For them, 24 hours power supply should be free.

Reason why they hate a working system

I know a friend who was all over WhatsApp and Facebook defaming this artist and his family for the birth of their infant.

I just wish he too can be sued.

Are they gay?

NowisGod109:
Dhl won't deliver any package that needs custom clearance especially when it involves money until total fee is paid before they deliver to your doorstep

That's in Nigeria. I track my orders and know when it gets to different international airports, go through customs and gets delivered to me without my input whatsoever.
I usually purchase gadgets and appliances online and DHL or any other logistics company deliver them from abroad without any hassle to me.
If I desire to buy an iPhone 15 from the US today and have it shipped to my UK address, I see no reason for UK customs to call to come clear the item. Except this practice is only applicable to Nigeria.

Why is DHL not delivering the parcel to your address?

Is the airport your address?

Shouldn't DHL ensure your paid parcel get to the right address and receipent?

I order thing from US to UK and it's delivered to my doorstep

Many Nigerians are of the opinion that their lives will improve and get better should religious leaders contest and win key political positions like governors and president.

This so-called Reverend father Governor of Benue state is prove that even well intended righteous religious leaders can't solve human issues by occupying high political offices.

The current Senate President is also a religious leader.

Who still uses this kind of ancient laptop for official business.

This company, what are they into? What were you doing for them?

By the way, your dismissal was unjust and refusal to pay you fully is a criminal offence. Unfortunately, you can do little to nothing because you are in Nigeria.

But pray they report you to the police for refusing to release the laptop, then you can table your case to the police and get a lawyer in an attempt to get justice.

papyjaypaul:
What country in Europe are you in because the way some of you generalize Europe scares me

Sorry about that.

Should have said England, UK.

Augustenite:
Go and work and stop all this nonsense talk on nairaland. You have lots of bills to pay

You wey no get work now, how you wan come pay bills na?

Ayatullah:
You will cry to be allowed back in Nigeria in 8 years' time if you are not kicked out before then from whichever country you sell yourself to, enslaving yourself.

This guy, hope you have taken your medications? Stop skipping them.

Very sound advice to Nigerian companies!

Many companies have gotten away with wrongful termination because labour laws are not strictly enforced.

When I got laid off from a multinational Nigerian company due to rightsizing (down sizing really), I was very well compensated in millions of Naira. It made it worthwhile.

I quickly joined another Nigerian firm, not a foreign multinational like my previous employer, when I resigned, they were angry and delayed my exit pay and didn't remit my pension.

I had to threaten them before they cleared me.

Because of issues like this, I strive to secure employment in well established successful and long-standing multinationals where global standard HR is practised.

MrBrownJay1:
- men and women are different... thus why when men use logical sense to make a point (in a discussion/argument) while women instead use their emotions.

- women would generally focus on being LOVED in a relationship, while men would focus on being RESPECTED.

- women would generally want a big fancy wedding for the whole world to see their fairytale wedding, while men wouldnt mind getting a 1000naira wedding (if they could). MEN wouldnt even get married if it was not such a life necessity for women.

- if MEN get unrestricted access to a woman's coochie, they wouldnt get married to that woman and would instead leave with her (as a "married" couple) forever. as the saying goes:"why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?"

- (in Nigeria) women are taught since they were born that they have no value and that their life goal is to be married to a man. while men are taught that they have no value unless they are financially successful.

- sadly, men foolishly believe that their whole focus in life should be "making money" (as women would flock to them if/when they eventually make it), forgetting that a foul poor man would simply turn into a foul rich man... and the only women such man would attract is goldiggers and/or the leftovers desperate women (with past due bodyclock).

- being broke is no big deal to a woman because they really believe that their worth lies between their legs, while if a man is broke these same women would be quick to shame that man (as if they were better than him)

- some women still dont understand that time is NEVER on their side as there will always be a younger/fitter/finer babe out there that a man can settle with (even if that man is well into is 80/90s (if in doubt, ask Regina)

These things only work this way in Nigeria.

Women are so very different outside Nigeria and most West Africa Countries.

Women in Europe don't look forward to marriage and weddings like Nigerian girls do.
Women here do not depend on a man's wealth, they grind their asses and make their own money.
They're not as emotional as Nigerian girls are. They use their heads more than their hearts here.

Men and women are not under pressure to marry. Marriage is a very casual union here. Most couples are in civil partnerships or just co-habiting. They can call it quite without dramas anytime.

Unlike Nigeria, the society here frowns at the get rich syndrome we suffer in Africa. There's zero tolerance for unexplained wealth.

It will really do Nigeria good to have a life re-orientation, because in so many ways, we are behind the rest of the world.

I don't miss Nigeria!

Hoping to visit in 8 years time.

For now, I can't be bothered!

This is a welcomed development.

chidiokay:
what is cucumbersome about the directives, do BDC and business people work under same regulations & policies

what is Cbn about to do to BDC that is different from what was enforced on Banks ...the 25m capital base on banks was its gradual, did it kill our banking sector or made it stronger

OF what economic importance or impact is BDC operators that you expect the govt to be considerate at the detriment of the economy/naira value. whu bdc help

Lets face the truth, BDCs are expendables but that is like cutting off the North, that they are allowed to exist is enough for "human face"

The same CBN floated the Naira with the slogan "willing buyer and willing seller". Are BDCs not fulfilling this slogan?
I am not against standardising their operations, but this fire-brecade policy with it's high capital investment requirements targeted at turning BDCs to banks with high tech reporting should come in phases and not rushed.
There's a risk to business survival. BDC business is not a taboo business. Its should not be eradicated which this policy is tactical aimed to achieve.
The CBN is well known to blame everyone and everything except itself for the poor performance of the Naira.
The country's economy as it is today is now an ethnic topic, with Yorubas now claiming to love Nigeria more than the other ethnic groups.
CBN's blame sharing might end up doing the Naira more harm than good.
The problem with the falling Naira is not BDCs. You can't operate a debt driven economy and expect your currency to outperform your creditor's.
So this autocratic and toutish approach to economic management to attempt to please citizens is not guaranteed to work, it's simply trial and error.

aribisala0:
What exactly do you mean by high handed

If I have to explain what high-handedness means or how this policy is high-handed in nature, I am afraid you don't understand anything in the import of the guidelines to the operational setup of BDCs.

It's no use explaining it to you.

Biodun556:
The abokis selling dollars like pure water 💧 are criminals. They should be locked up. We are the ones destroying the economy we are the shouting pains at the same time

Locked up for what crime exactly?
When I opened my dorm account at Union Bank Ekulobia, they refused to sell me the dollars needed, BDC came to the rescue.

When I need to travel, all my banks refused to sell me dollars but were willing to buy from me at the worst possible rates, BDC at Presidential Hotel Ph came to the rescue.

I am in support of this CBN effort to standardise the operation of BDCs but not with a high-handed approach.
This is simply a fire-brecade policy. There's no need for the rush, it should be done in phases and should have a human face. That way, it will succeed and no one will feel targeted.

jamafa:
If they do, you go complain. If dey no do, you go complain. Very funny people

I know better than complain. Policies that succeed are implemented in phased and incremental basis not in one full sweep like what is detailed in the new CBN guidelines for BDCs.

We are in to much of a hurry to solve decades old rots. Policies are not meant to drive genuine businesses out of business.

If this narrative was actually what happened, the invasive visual examination can be done with or without a local anaesthetic. That way, the doctor knows when patient is in real pain and stops.

Spinal anaesthetic should be for very serious operations like CS especially if cutters are not to be used.

Standard practice is to explain the details of a procedure with the patient and possibly with a family member present, including details of possible complications and risk assessment of the procedure. Doctors must confirm that patient understands the risk involved, that they're in sound mind prior to the operation and that they agree both verbally and in writing by the signing the operation consent form before any procedure is embarked on.

Whether detailed due care was taken by the medical team should be the subject of the investigation.

The guidelines simply aims to drive Northerners out of their own tuff. This regulation by CBN is laughable. Such high handedness will continue to encourage illegal BDCs. This is just using grammar to ask BDCs as we know it to stop operating. Even in developed economics, changes are introduced in stages not to lump everything together and make it cumbersome for business people. This adminstration is desperate to prove they are working but their actions are that of a paranoid and power drug authocrat.
This policy has no human face, is targeted at provoking legitimate businesses to close shop and might still achieve little or nothing

Relief, comfort and consolation to us at this current situation.

More wins ahead Nigeria

Where and in what has Nigeria ever won? Can you please enumerate.

This sort of madness is unprecedented!

I refused to believe this when I say it on Facebook, hoping it was some mistake but it's seems to be the unfortunate reality.

Barrister Victor was my friend, we both lived in Okigwe before I left the country for good, for fear of my own life. We would usually hang out after work each day for a few bottles and banters at a beer parlour or hotel.

He was the lawyer I employed to prepare Deeds of Conveyance papers for me.

Just few weeks back late January, he congratulated me for the arrival of our baby girl.

It's so sad to hear he died to the same insecurities he very often spoke of. A brilliant, young and vibrant guy dies for the failure to keep our roads safe leaving behind a very young family with an uncertain future.
Too bad

The cycle of hate and war continues.

Man continues to cause injuries to his fellow man.

Man's anger does not work out God's righteousness.

Peace on earth can only be restored by of God's Kingdom with Jesus Christ as it's king.

Until God's Kingdom intervenes, the human disaster call government will continue to plunge mankind in unending wars.

You can and would be a better husband and father if only you would to Good the originator of the marriage and family arrangement.

In his Inspired holy writings, he spells out all you and every member of your household needs to do to make a happy home and a successful marriage.

Begin by agreeing with Ephesians 3: 14,15 which reads" For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name." That way, you accept that God has the right to instruct on how to exercise your hardship as husband and father toward your wife and children.

Also appreciate the order of authority spelt out in 2 Corinthians 11:3 which say: "But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the Christ is God". And so because you understand you have a head, Christ, whom you must render an account to, you will imitate Jesus Christ in the way and manner you treat your wife and kids.

Christ is the perfect example for husbands. So Ephesians 5:28-31 speaks to husbands: In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself,29for no man ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation,because we are members of his body.“For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.” So you must love your wife. Love covers a multitude of sins say the Bible. Read what love means according to the Bible at 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

It also your God given responsibility to provide for your family their physical, spiritual and emotional needs, including making sure they are in good mental state.

If you do the above and more, your wife will respect and adore you. Your children will obey and bring you joy, peace and happiness.
