Noted!. Till then, if you're still available. I'll let you know.

How was your pursuit Sir? Started or ventured in another plan?

Obinnau:
All of us were here when people were making comments and campaigning that building to rent is a waste of money and time. People advocated for saving money in their bank accounts and mutual funds and High yield accounts.

well.. economics faces us all. limited investment in housing will push prices up, high cost of building materials will increase prices.

we need a mindset shift

You're very wise Sir. I really love people that analyze issue critically, with great insight

Show me the way crew should exercise caution here

Nicenancy:
A man said :

"the best way for a wife to stop her husband from sleeping with other women is to always sleep with her husband."

Is this true?

There's no universal rule when it comes to relationship. However, for most men:

1) Peace of mind
2) Prepare his food on time
3) Don't Nag
4) May be sex can come thereafter

The order above is very important

I'm still surprised you think Dangote can unilaterally fix the price of petrol without govt intervention. Whatever price he's selling today has the handwriting of the govt in it.

People are actually too politically un-savvy to see that election is already coming. Tinubu had between now and December to convince Nigerians on whatever economic magic he's performing.

My brother, I had to login because of you.

Only you understand what's going on. It's all political gimmicks. It's a preparation for 2027. Only few people had this insights of yours.

Owe Yoruba kan so wipe, "Ikoko ti yoo ba je ata, idi re a gbona".

Who can give logical meaning behind this proverb?

I speak Yoruba fluently, and I am really proud of her beautiful cultural heritage. Yoruba r'ewa jale jako!

Is there an existing group whereby Yoruba speakers of all levels meet? If Yes, I will gladly join, as I want to connect with like minds. If no, I'm planning to create one whereby Yoruba lovers/enthusiasts all round the world can meet and interacts.

We will share gist, culture, stories, proverbs, resources, music etc.

Who's with me? Signify and I will drop WhatsApp Group Link. Yoruba a maa tesiwaju ooo

I found this article online regarding Yoruba culture

The Yoruba people, predominantly found in southwestern Nigeria, are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, with a population exceeding 40 million. The Yoruba cultural heritage is woven with elements of history, language, religion, art, music, and social structures that provide a fascinating insight into their way of life.

Orisha Oro is one of the major orisha in Yoruba pantheons.

The Oro Festival is an annual event dedicated to the worship of Oro, a deity associated with justice, protection, and the enforcement of societal norms. The festival is marked by various rituals and ceremonies that are exclusively male-dominated, as women are traditionally prohibited from participating in or witnessing many aspects of the festival.

The origins of the Oro Festival date back to ancient times, serving as a means to uphold justice and maintain order within the community. Oro is believed to act as a guardian of moral conduct, punishing wrongdoers and ensuring the adherence to societal rules. The festival is a time for the community to come together to reaffirm their commitment to these values.

That magic word SORRY will do it...

Just kneel, continue saying I'm sorry. This will work for 99% men. Unfortunately, most women these days believe both men and women posses equal rights in today's age. Hence, this always difficult

Bullfallo:
While owning a car is not ripe for you.

You might be wishing or dreaming of owning a car and you cant wait any further. there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking and after-all everyone enjoys the comforts that comes with driving a car.

But there are some things no one will tells you. And it’s called car maintenance…

proper maintenance of your car comes with a price and if it’s your first time there are some challenges you will face that will cause you to regret owning a car. This thread is not to discourage you but to guard you.

Here are some of the expenses you can’t run away from.

1, Driver license 30k every 3 years
2, Vehicle particular 35k-50k every year
3, Oil change 20k to 50k every 2-3 months
4, Transmission fluid 30k - 90k yearly
5, Fueling minimum of 20k-200k every week
6, car washing 3k-8k weekly
7, Unplanned expenses either minor or major, e.g accidents ( minor or major), tyre replacement, gear or engine failure, parts and mechanic expenses, accessories, repaint, interior and exterior mentainace Can run into 500k - 5m yearly.

So you better be calming down. Just imagine the resources that will go into that within a year?

When someone bought a car their scarce resource will be diverted to the car. Clothes, building projects and family will feel the impacts as resources are split or diverted. When you sold a car you are going to feel relief with excess funds in reserve from car expenses during that period, only that you will lose the comfort.

You better be financially strong and grounded before owning a car.

And to add to it no one will listen to you when you ask for money. Also People assumed you are rich in this part of the world once you bought a car. Lastly Your landlady or landlord will increase your rent and won’t heard any stories from you. Even your brothers when hate you that you bought a car and you didn’t remember them. You will be on your own.

Hi, you're thinking in one direction. See, if you have all those security features, are you going to be using them all the time except it is automatically activated? One will tire!

So many times, I park my Benz and enter market to quickly get things and might have forgotten to even lock door sef. So, just pray you don't fall victim. Ko si alagbara l'ojo iku...

I have sense,and more money has disappeared.it happens every conservative day.
Even this very morning,if not that I checked my purse before leaving the house this morning,I would have been left stranded as I wouldn't have seen what to pay the bike man with.
It might sound funny, unbelievable or totally impossible.
I have spoken to people who have also experienced such.its fine if you don't think it is possible for money to miss without someone stealing or taking it.with my experience just this morning, after been careful,calculative and even keeping the purse where only my hand dey reach,I just know something is very wrong.
Thanks for all the suggestions,banter and analysis.
Na person wey something dey bite know where e dey bite am.i really can't explain it to you guys.

Hi, we need to talk. How best can I connect with you?

Early morning sex without a deep sleep leaves one with migraine (a light headache). Of course, there is more warmth and hard erection in the morning, yet night is better.

I believe eating healthily can enhance night performance.

NB: This is personal observation and may not necessarily apply to all

Please help.
My husband is currently being investigated for fraud which he did not commit.

Okay what happened is that a police officer called my husband saying that my he is under investigation for fraudulently transferring money to his palmpay account and is being tracked.

The police officer went on to share files that show that they have been tracking my husband since April last year.

My husband swears he does not have a palmpay account.
Obviously someone used his bvn to open a palmpay account last year, transferred money to the palmpay account and withdrew it.

How do we address this please?

I had to login for this...

Your story is not complete. Will you be kind enough to be more elaborate?

1) How did you ascertain it's actually a police officer that contacted you?

2) Did he call? If yes, how was your number gotten?

3) Those files shared, are you sure it's not doctored?

Pls, be extra vigilant these days o. I will advise your hubby to contact his account officer on official visit. Kindly request from him/her list of account numbers associated with your BVN (court order might be needed).

That's the first step even before contacting palmpay as advised above

Onlyoneglucose:
Hello guys, good evening. I have an issue that's really disturbing me right now. I decided to post here to get more engagements.

On the 21/12/2023, I credited my Bet9ja account with 30k via coral pay(which I've been using before now) and the bank I was assigned to pay through was Providus bank. Immediately I did the transaction, I was debited, but my bet account was not credited, it was showing pending so I decided to chill thinking it was network. I waited till the next morning and later, it showed "failed", but my money was not reversed. I reached out to Bet9ja and I was told I should contact my bank(access) that the transaction wasn't successful from their end. I went to my bank, initially, I was told I would be refunded in 48hrs, of which I saw nothing. Later that day, I got a text that "my request is being processed and they'll get back to me today". Today, I was reached out to, I was told my transaction was successful and that I should contact the bank that's supposed to credit my bet account (Providus). I reached out to them and they told me that they've traced the transaction and they saw nothing in their end. I don't know what else to do, all three parties (access bank, providus and Bet9ja) are denying their involvement in everything and I don't know what else to do to get my money back or get funded at least.

Has anyone had this issue here please? I need help. Here's proof of my transaction.

Tell your bank to provide session code, tender this same code to providus

Crucialgem:
So you haven't seen people that work tirelessly hard and still wasn't successful afterwards. I am not giving excuse for laziness but really there is something we also call grace bro and that grace really follow some people

Grace is a situation whereby opportunity meets with preparedness. So, the word "preparedness" still means hardworking. I support the guy you quoted man

Thank God for your live.

You really fumble; a big one at that.

Some other officers who have shot you on sight.

For the fact you're are driving a tinted made it worse. Also, as a piece of advice:

1) When they ordered you to come down, next time kindly do so obediently. Believe me, the odd of getting shot in your car for being adamant is higher than coming down

2) Always be patient and give room for unforeseen in your programme. It is better to arrive late and alive than be there in body bag

PS: Go and blur your number plate up there.

Yes you can register your 2 months old, infact a baby can be registered the very day it is born or as soon as you can provides it's passport photo and details. You can WhatsApp me so we get the registration process started

Hi, thanks for your time. I have few questions

1) I want to do GIFSHIP since am a business tycoon. However, on your site, the FAMILY plan is at the max of 4 enrolees. Whereas my family comprises of me, my wife and 3 kids. Which one is suitable for us?

2) Is NHIS benefit enjoyable instantly on renewal? (let's say 1st Jan, 2024). Will one be able to enjoys all benefit instantly or needs to wait for a period of time? If yes, how long?

3) Does one 1-year term start counting only when I have been successfully enrolled and given slip/ID Card or does Fed Govt. has fixed expiration date for all NHIS enrollers

4) Do people registered under GIFSHIP expected to make 10% end-user drug fee as read somewhere on this thread in previous pages?

5) At the point of registration, will I be shown the list of primary health care to choose? How do I know if they have better facilities such as Lab or NHIS Accredited pharmacy?

6) Is the GIFSHIP renewal fee same amount as enrollment fee i.e. first registration.

Thanks for your time again

It has been like 2 weeks now that the Manager of BUA Cement declares their intention to crash cement to #3500. I have looked around different stores in Osogbo, its either unavailable or sold @ #5100.

Have you bought @ #3500? It is Audio or some people sabotaging it? If you've bought, kindly specify location. If no, what could be wrong?

Autosxtra101:
Korope(Mini buses) are 8-seater buses that are smaller compared to the much larger buses that are a feature of Lagos roads and other cities in Nigeria. They can be used for public transportation within a State as well as other nearby to destinations outside a State. Because of their small build, mini buses can navigate tight spaces and are really fast in getting people to their destinations.

This is how you make money with the korope(mini buses,a full tank of this bus is 37 litres and that is approximately N21,830 ,the fuel consumption rate is 15 kilometers per litres it means you will be driving 555 kilometers with a full tank,the average driver uses about 4 kilometers to commute with a rate of 200 per passenger which means you have 2800 per complete trip so with your full tank you making 60 trips which is about N168,000 ,driver takes about 20 trips per day and consume a full tank in 3 days .

This is a very profitable business and this is why the price of the bus keeps going up the price for a fairly used fresh from Asia is 2 million.
The nigeria used is N 900000
If you need this korope (mini buses)call / whatsapp me
090132161902

I hardly comment on public forum and I just logged in because of you.

In a bid to sell your product, pls don't give false calculation and analysis. If Korope is really profitable (especially these days) as claimed, you won't see people selling out enmass. Check online market places like Jiji and co. Most the owners are abandoning Korope for other works too.

Shoodboi:
I once worked as an attendant at a filling station. What this man is saying is impossible...

While there's usually fuel in the hose, that fuel is not your fuel. The mouth of the hose (the part that enters your car) has a small machine that calculates how much fuel is sold. The meter (the screen that calculates the price and liters sold) begins counting the moment fuel leaves the mouth of the hose and goes into your car. Not when fuel enters the hose.

In this case, this filling station appears to be out of fuel and are trying to pump out whatever remains in the underground tanks and hose into the keg. And you can see that they can't even fill a small keg.

With that said, I should add that filling stations can't sell air either. Instead, what they do is that they adjust their meter to reduce the amount of fuel sold. So, they can adjust the meter to sell 0.8 liters for every one liter displayed on the meter.

And this scam is never performed by the attendants because they do not have access to the configuration of the machine. Only the manager (sometimes with the instructions of the filling station owner) can do it.

The highest an attendant can do is to sell less fuel than you request, say sell 1000 naira fuel when you ask for 2000 naira, but you can quickly catch this scam by looking at the meter and ensuring the price and amount begin at 0 and reads up to whatever price or liter you ask for.

As for the readjustment done by the managers and filling station owner, the only way to catch them is to buy it in jerrycan. But once you see your fuel is not up to what you requested, confront the manager (not the attendant) and threaten to report them to DPR.

If the manager is doing it without the knowledge of the filling station owner, there's a high likelihood he'll give you some fuel to calm you down🤣🤣🤣 If he's doing it with the knowledge of the owner, he'll likely offer you a refund.

Hi, is it true that there is a certain chemical that filling stations do add to their fuel the makes it dry faster on motorist end; and inflate the quantity in filling station tank thereby maximizing their profit?

abolem369:
Issue has been finally resolved, thanks everyone. I spent a lot on airtime(on phone with CCs) and transportation (to n fro bank), was always yelling at them on Twitter and all that.

Was it bank's fault or the other party?

I drive C-Class Benz and I can attest; it’s a strong machine and I hardly buy parts. However, it is known for more electrical faults than mechanical. I patronize car electricians (rewire) more and occasionally check mecho.

On the same vein, I've heard of some car brands like Toyota/Honda having less electrical but more mechanical faults of major components such as engine or gear. So, which do you think is worse and more financial drain per your experience?

Hi all,

Forgive my curiosity, when Federal Govt wants to appoint Agency or parastatal head, why often be in "Acting" position before transforming to full-fledge leader? E.g Acting CBN governor, Acting Efcc chairman etc.

Any answer?

Hi,

salute to everyone. I heard information that one can change country of residence on Amazon to evade 30% tax remittance on payout. Pls, is this truly possible, what are the risks involved and anyone with the procedures?

Passionet:

Check if that vehicle was converted ?

Hello, I travel before and couldn't check the car. On coming back I've checked, yes it's converted
