Dandsome:
She actually paid using internet banking. Can the bank freely give me her details?

Just give it a try by explaining to them.
They may even call her to confirm before she is asked to call your other line
No sin in trying

Dandsome:
As I write this, I am feeling very hurt about my experience. Not because I lost my phone, but because of the circumstances around it.

This is how it went.

I prepare nutritious pap powder and sell to families. So on this fateful day, Tuesday 19th July 2016 I was on my way to deliver my product to a customer via waybill to Abuja.
After all the hustle around people I settled somewhere to make a call before proceeding, only for me to find out to my greatest shock that my phone was missing.

Sharp sharp, I used my torchlight phone to dial the number. Lo and behold it was switched off. My head wan scatter.

In this kinda economy, I hustle money to buy Tecno W4 na him person go steal am?

That the phone was stolen wasn`t what got me mad. What weakened me was the fact that the details of the person I was to waybill the stuff to was inside the phone that just got stolen. Which kind problem be this one?

The woman don already pay money o… Why devil wan try himself?

I didn`t know if I was to start cursing the thief or whatever. I felt defeated because I was not given a fair and level playing ground. The guy no pity me at all. Why didn`t he do the “pick-pocket” when I wasn`t carrying anything? Why did he have to wait until my both hands were full with load before he stole?. Just as there are rules of engagement in war, there should be rules of engagement in “Pick-pocket” .

Since economy is bad and no job, even the jobs people have are being lost, I hustle to put food on my table and not be a criminal na him person go steal my phone. If I was doing something bad when it was stolen I for no complain.

Another place I felt defeated was when I went to carlcare office Computer village ikeja to see if I can block the phone so that both of us won`t use the phone again but the lady there told me it can`t be done. Nairalanders, biko is there a way for a phone to be blocked when stolen or how a phone can be retrieved when you have the IMEI??

I also read sometimes online here, (though I was too occupied I didn’t pay attention) That Tecno has a wrist band (I don`t know the name) that can tell you when your phone is about to be stolen.
My phone runs on Android 6.0 and the wrist-band from what I read works on android 6.0. If I had the Tecno wrist band, it would have vibrated. And immediately it vibrated I would have known that something was wrong.

My Tecno W4 has an inbuilt battery. If I had known I would have used a lock code or lock pattern. That way if the thief was about leaving It would have vibrated and I would have called my number. Now since it has an inbuilt battery, the thief wouldn`t have been able to switch the phone off so immediately I dialed it would have rung.


Lessons you too can learn and what I should have done

1. Always lock your phone with a code or pattern
2. Always hold your phone when in a crowded place. No matter how deep your phone is, these pick pockets will find a way
3. Like my friend will suggest, use earpiece. He said that once you use earpiece, immediately your phone leaves your pocket, the thief will pull the earpiece which will draw your attention.
4. Once any suspicious person keeps following you, change direction.
5. Get a Tecno wrist Band

Suggestion
I`ll suggest Tecno and Carlcare should find a way to help people retrieve their phones when stolen. Or they should be able to block the phone when the rightful owner shows a proof. At least this will discourage pick-pocket in a way once they know they are holding a dead phone.

Guys please those who know phones very well, is there a cheap android phone one can get that runs on android 6.0? Any suggestion? Also how can I block my stolen phone?
Right now the thief is winning me like 3-0. I want to equalize or reduce it to 3-2 (football fans will understand)

Can someone please tell me more about it the Tecno wrist band for phones? Where can I get it? How much is it? And is it for only Tecno phones ?

Please I take God beg una. If you don`t know the answer abeg no derail my thread. Thank you.

Anybody close to Seun, lalasticlala, dragnet, puskin and honsule should please help me tell them to push this to front page so if the woman is a Nairalander, she will see this and know that I lost her number so she can dial my number. Her goods are already in keffi. I sent it to a friend so once I get her number, my friend can deliver to her. Keffi to Abuja is closer than Lagos to Abuja. Somebori help me oooo

eeya.It ain't your fault you lost your phone.
It's so unfortunate that it had to be you.

You may also try to contact the bank she paid your
money into and explain to the Manager or whoever
cares to listen to get more information she gave
while making payment.

Don't worry you will get over the loss in no time

He talks like a woman when he's angry. Overtly jealous , reads meaning to every of my moves.
If you see us on the street, you will think we are a perfect couple because of the way he treats me in public.
This is someone I tried so hard to make my family accept and right now my family likes him a lot because he has managed to put up a good image with them.

This guy is frustrating me a lot,suspects every move I make,quarrels like a woman, always going through my phone like I am hiding something in d phone. I am not happy most times and thinking of leaving but I don't know how to go about it..........I don't know what and how to tell my people cos they will start shouting on me and saying all sorts.
Again, he's always around me, wouldn't give me space. People think it's love but he's choking me.
I can't deal no more..... Pls, Fam.....what do I do

My dear these are warning signs of a bad marriage ahead.
I will advice you opt out the relationship. But how you may ask.

I don't want you to mince words about this at all.

Tell your people about him, share your fears and what you
are going through with your mother and tell her your resolution.
Of course to WALK AWAY.

Next, tell him when you are together in clear language
that you want to move on and let him know your reasons
and your fears.

The truth is that you may be entering a death trap if you
do not make moves about the dissolution of this relationship now and end up marrying
him.

A broken relationship is way ahead better than an abusive and
broken marriage.
Marriage is meant to be enjoyed and not endured so think twice.

You cannot continue with this relationship i must admit.

I no fit laff. Saraki will definitely go back to PDP but for this news, I reserve my comment

Your husband is a real man. Just like me. I will rather Die than to witness such. This is no mere cheap talk.

The good thing is that such scenario won't come your way IJN.
I am glad a right thinking female understands better.

Nothing gained my dear. Absolutely Nothing

Did you say face of death? Little challenges alone will make them fret and compromise to the unimaginable.

I see these set of people everyday even among married people.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, Lagos Region, has announced that many parts of the state will experience blackout between 10am and 1pm today (Monday).

According to the TCN, the affected areas are Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Alagbon, Apapa, Ijora, Surulere, Itire, Oshodi, Mushin; the Nigerian Airforce Base, Shogunle, and their environs.

The company said in a statement on Sunday that the disruption of electricity supply to customers in these locations was a result of the need to carry out an urgent maintenance work on the Akangba 132KV transmission substation.

The Public Relations Officer, TCN, Lagos Region, Mrs. Celestina Osin, said in the statement, “The reason for the planned outage is to enable the MBH Contractor carry out a very important repair work on the Itire 132KV Transmission Line 1 and the Ojo 132KV Transmission Line 2 from which the areas are fed electricity for better service to them.

“During the period the outage will last, the 4X90 MVA power transformers and another 150MVA power transformer will be out of service at the Akangba 132KV substation in order to provide a safe working space for the workers.

We promise to restore supply to all the affected areas as soon as the work is concluded.

“We sincerely apologise for the short notice on the outage and regrets inconveniences this will cause all that will be affected.”

Na today?

With all these untold suffering by
an unsensitive government.
After 2019,we will realise that this
yeye government was the most corrupt
government ever.

Op, you try

heykims:
Thanks but please....
Will I be allowed access to the manager if I say I want to see him?

Of course you should be able to see him. But the call seems to be a faster option.

Nice one op.
No 1 is very correct, sexual stimulation of the female genital with not properly washed fingers can lead to infections.

The bacteria in the fingers unbalances the friendly bacteria in the vagina leading to the overgrowth of the unfriendly bacteria or yeast.

This in turn causes unnecessary discharge after sex.

Have you asked why women experience uncomfortable discharge after sex?
This is one of the reasons.

In addition to what you have done, I will advise you call their complaint centre and table your problem. It may receive faster attention than meeting the customer care at the branch.

Such contact numbers are available at the end of every mail the bank sends to you.

This is the season.

Buhari is fantastically corrupt. Period.

lol, why you talk so?

In my opinion, the government and the ruling party headed by old men individually and collectively are big liars.
Imagine grandpa's telling their children (the electorate) lies in order to attain power.
That is one big reason they have achieved nothing so far except woes.
Anything built on lies crumbles and that is what Nigerians are experiencing today.

I found this article rather interesting and I decided to share.

Azuka Onwuka, azonwuka@yahoo.com 0809-8727-263 (sms only)

President Muhammadu Buhari’s trump card is the fight against corruption. He has realised that most Nigerians hate the blow corruption has dealt on Nigeria for decades. Much of the money that would have been used to provide infrastructure and build the nation has been stolen and stashed away in foreign bank accounts and also invested in property and businesses overseas.

Therefore, anytime Nigerians hear that a corrupt public officer has been arrested, they go wild with joy, asking for stiff penalty for the person. Some even ask for the death penalty. But who can blame Nigerians? Corruption has caused the death of many children who could have survived if there were good medical facilities in our hospitals. Many Nigerians had died in road crashes caused by potholes that would not have existed if the money set aside for road construction was not embezzled. Many Nigerians had died of dehydration in the desert trying to cross over to Europe for greener pastures because the money that should have been pumped into the economy had been embezzled, leaving the nation impoverished.

Having realised how impassioned Nigerians are on the issue of corruption, Buhari has taken advantage of it fully. There is no speech he makes in Nigeria or overseas that he does not harp on corruption and how it has crippled the nation. The same thing occurs when Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, presidential aides and APC leaders speak.

Anytime there is a negative news story against the government, the Presidency releases a story on corruption or announces some huge amount of money recovered, and the attention of the public is immediately taken away from the negative story.

But there are issues that point to the fact that corruption is laughing at the efforts being made to eradicate it. The first instance is the shocking pictures of malnourished and dying Internally Displaced Persons in camps in Borno State released to the media last month by Doctors Without Borders. The pictures looked as if they came from some distant country ravaged by war and blockaded from food and water or like pictures of Biafran children during the Nigerian Civil War.

Doctors Without Borders said that 200 people died in a month in the camp from starvation and dehydration. The body described the situation as a “catastrophic humanitarian emergency” and said that refugees at the camp spoke of “children dying of hunger and digging new graves every day”.

It was shocking that such pictures came from an IDP camp that the Federal Government and the state governments said they had spent billions of naira to take care of in addition to the various products donated by individuals and organisations. It is obvious that while the President tells the world that he is fighting corruption, corruption is waltzing around under his nose, stealing the funds and the food meant for the IDPs.

Similar pictures emerged recently about our prisons, where inmates, especially those on the awaiting-trial-list who are not allowed to step out of the prison, were seen looking like skeletons because of starvation and malnutrition. Ironically, the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, said in May that the Federal Government had an annual budget of N10bn for the feeding of its 63,142 prisoners (the population as of March 31, 2016). Nigerians asked in shock: “What happened to that money?” The answer is simple: Corruption.

Also, some weeks ago, it was reported by some news channels that the Central Bank of Nigeria embarked on a secret recruitment involving only children of the top political class. It sounded like a joke that could not be possible in the administration of Buhari, who has repeatedly said that he would fight corruption to a standstill. But that story turned out to be true. The Presidency said nothing about that corrupt practice.

While that was dying down, another story surfaced that the Federal Inland Revenue Service had done a secret recruitment that had the children of the high and the mighty as beneficiaries. Again, the Presidency said nothing, and did nothing. No person was punished. The recruitment was not cancelled.

As if that was not enough, last week, it was reported that the Nigerian Prisons Service had undertaken its own secret recruitment. It still followed the same pattern. As usual, the Presidency said nothing and did nothing.

Excluding these three Federal Government bodies, other government bodies may have carried out a similar secret recruitment or are planning to do the same. And there is a trend in all of the recruitment exercises. To fulfil the requirement of the constitution that recruitment must reflect the federal character, those recruited were randomly assigned states across the federation.

What can be deduced from this secret recruitment of the children of the influential and well-connected is that the silence of Buhari shows that he is aware of it and endorses it. How then can the fight against corruption be successful with such occurring repeatedly?

To know whether the fight against corruption has any effect, you need to visit any government agency or attempt to do any transaction with any of them, whether on the federal, state or local government level. It is a complete case of business as usual. Bribes are still demanded brazenly. There is no secrecy about it. Nothing still gets done if bribes are not offered.

Buhari may spend four years in office, or a maximum of eight years, if he gets re-elected in 2019. It will be tragic if after all this effort and raised hope, we discover at the end of his tenure that nothing has changed on the issue of corruption. Corruption is not like armed robbery whose perpetrators can be easily seen.

Corruption is also tempting unlike armed robbery, which is too risky. It does not have the type of bad image associated with armed robbery. It pays huge dividends, given the honour society accords to those who are well-to-do. Therefore, fighting corruption is not as easy as fighting a crime like armed robbery. It requires a systematic and systemic approach, with the creation of strong institutions, investment in technology, reduction of the direct contact of officials with funds, reorientation, and living by example by the leaders.

But most importantly, something feeds the corruption that takes place in Nigeria. It is the availability of free money that is seen as belonging to nobody. There is a kind of competition among those who are involved in public service to grab as much as they can. This attitude of public money not being anybody’s money has its root in the type of federal structure we practise, which makes all resources deposited in the federation account and shared among the three tiers of government every month. If it is not changed for a structure that empowers the states to work for their money and choose how to spend it, corruption will continue and even get worse, in spite of all the efforts of Buhari and anybody who will come after him.

In its manifesto, the ruling All Progressives Congress has this as one of the things it would do if elected: “Initiate action to amend our constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench true federalism and the Federal spirit.” Since the APC won last year, its top guns, including the party chairman, the President, and the Vice President, have been singing a different song on the issue of restructuring and true federalism.

On bended knees, we appeal to this administration to embrace restructuring and true federalism to save Nigeria from corruption, retrogression and ethnic and religious strife.
