Hope you guys know what you are talking about concerning the IPPIS stuff and lectures?

I'm actually not talking about the merits or demerits of IPIPS. Just saying Tinubu is more open to dialogue compared to Buhari.

BlueRayDick:
Yeah. Maybe if Buhari had listened to voice f reason and reverse some of the unreasonable decisions he took the Nigerian economy would’ve not have plummeted to this level .

As much as I don’t believe in Tinubu’s presidency , I always find it commendable that he takes reverse on some policies when there’s public outcry against such policies

Yes, that part is commendable. And it's always funny seeing his supporters who have argued in favour of one position turn around to argue otherwise when he reverses his decision

enigma0:
Thanks for your help...

How do I go about the court order? Is it from an high court? I'll be willing to give it a chance as that's my last hope . I know how financially exhausting approaching the police may be, not when I don't any money..

Yes, you can approach any court for it.

BlueRayDick:
Larride remember the long drawn discussion we had on IPPIS and University workers not wanting to be part of it ?

I remember u saying employees should not be dictating how their employees should pay them.

It appears Tinubu get sense pass Buhari in this regard . No ?

https://www.nairaland.com/7940068/tinubu-approves-exit-public-varsities

Tinubu appears to be more open to dialogue than Buhari. You would have even seen it in his engagement with labour union.

Buhari no send anybody papa. If you want to go on strike, bye bye.

Evening to all reputable peoples here. Forgive me of this my lengthy write up but I'm here to seek advice on how to go about the ugly situation I found myself in. I've been an ardent follower of this thread since it's inception but I rarely comment as I assumed by age I'll be the youngest here and as I was brought up, when elders are talking, the young ones only listen and learn.
In relation to the link I posted up, I contact the seller of the said phone in order to get the phone as the current one I was using had started malfunctioning ever since I changed the screen month ago. The seller is located at Ado-ekiti as he said while I'm based in Ibadan, after agreeing on price as he said he needed the money urgently for his children school fees, I asked of how to go about payment and delivery, he said I'll have to pay first which I didn't agree to, I suggest we make use of a reputable nairalander as an escrow which he didn't subscribe to. I didn't follow up again as that was a red flag for me, he claimed to be honest that he didn't need an escrow for his service. Just last weekend, we got back to talking when he questioned about how I won't run off with the phone without paying, I told him that it won't be the first time I'll be getting things online, he asked me for any means of identification which I told him I have none as I'm just seeking admission to UI and my workplace doesn't have one but I provided him my NIN. He later told me that (omo ìyá mi ni e -i.e I'm also his kin being a Yoruba boy). He agreed to send the phone after which I'll pay 45k outta the 60k we agreed on, I'll balance him later. We talked more on where to deliver it to when he made mention of iworoad, gate etc that he do frequent Ibadan that it's just because of his work hence he would have made the delivery himself, he asked of my details. On Tuesday , yesterday., He called me in the morning that he'll be taking the package together with him to the motor park on his way to work, and I told him I will transfer the money as soon as I get to work using a colleague phone as I had to sell my phone to add to the money since the phone is becoming more faulty. Around 10am, I called him, he said I should give him an hour that he couldn't went to the park again that he'll be in an hour time,. This is where I made the foolish mistake of sending him the 45k cos I'd believe him to be legit as per say we relate well together being of the same tribe. He called me back around midday to tell me that he'd got to the park and made the delivery that I may even get it before the day end.
I called him back at to ask of the driver's number but he didn't pick up and the number had been switched off since. It went through today on way back home from work around 7pm which wasn't picked also but not going through anymore.

I know I messed up a big time sending money to an unknown person whose only number and account details I know of as he uses a zenith bank account. I've gotten items from unknown person on NL without knowing them, Jboixxx on the phone section from far Taraba is someone I've never seen, I only send him money and sleep, I'm sure I'll get the delivery, I paid 180k for a phone I got for someone from Meister without ever knowing him, the phone I was using before was gotten from saint2ace and he delivered. Please 🙏 how do I go about the situation and get the money back? It's my last fund, I don't have any phone on me to even check my admission status as it's speculated that UI will release cut off marks this week. I'm thinking of going to report to police station and file a report against the account at a zenith bank branch here. Pls, I need help, his contact info is 09159728821

The best you can do is approach zenith bank with a court order asking them to put a lien equivalent to the value on the recipients account and to initiate reversal to you. The money will be reversed in 7 days. I think the court order costs 5% of the value of the money. This is also assuming the money is still in the account.

If you go the police route, they can track him for you but you will spend more than the 45k. Not worth it.

Don't even waste your time with EFCC. The money is too small.

Tinubu will back the winner, but whatever happens they cannot be allowed to cause chaos in Rivers State where a good portion of the countries revenue comes from

Wickes head is too hot. He was told to wait till next election and remove Fubara in the primaries but him nyash dey scratch am

That's what I expected too. This their flight don even tire person. They should leave it till 2027 so the guy can govern. As it stands, nothing is happening in the state. Maybe that will change with the budget they just passed.

OasisX:
.....nothing but fact. If Wike could deliver APC for PBAT, then delivering Governorship seat for any party won't be a problem.

Simple. If APC can win the presidential election in Rivers State, anything is possible.

OasisX:


.....you really understand what's going with Mujahideen Asari Dokubo. LOL!

I'll be surprised if anyone still takes that idiot serious

BlueRayDick:
Na bank robbery in ur state reduced o, it still happens in other states. At least there were bank robberies within the last 1-2 years in states like Kogi, Benue, Edo etc that left 100 of millions carted, dozens dead and properties destroyed.

Lol

Season of propaganda and lies. I understand the other woman they say returned to join SIM has been out of the country on medical leave.

https://www.channelstv.com/2023/12/13/im-still-in-apc-rivers-assembly-member-adoki-refutes-return-to-pdp/amp/

Just to be clear, if Wike had supported a stone during the last governorship election, the stone would have been governor.

These guys write results. It doesn't matter who the candidate is or what party the candidate belongs.

Cans do not have structural integrity. They are often crushed after use for easy disposal.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYKhg0nBaSQ?si=C4ndjAcfwcP3jELz

This is a video of can bottling.

I am not sure how this can be done by hand. Or how it can be done cheaply.

Well, we can't be too sure and I won't rule it out. Criminals can be very creative.

GloriousGbola:
What izzou is saying is that you have to make and brand the cans. Which is a significant cost in itself. Most other counterfeiting involves reusing the container. The brand forgery is the cap and the paper.

The moment you are molding and branding aluminum cans, you are already running factory operation.

Are you sure there's no way of sealing a can that has been previously opened?

BlueRayDick:
It's just so annoying that people engaging in the crime call it hustling. How can ur hustle be endangering people's live ?

Las Las na people wey dey drink only water save for this country (Provided they don't drink unhygienic water too)

Since May when we had that discussion on this thread, only thing I drink is water.

When I wanted to start, I didn't think it will be possible. I'm even surprised how easy it has been

The year before covid was the last time i had reasonable saving, my salary have increase but saving no they steady again
I don't pay rent oo

You'll be surprised to find out that you're not alone. It's the same thing everywhere.

ksmart027:
It depends on the driver, some see the price estimate, while some don't. I only see a price estimate when it's a surge ride, meanwhile my guy always see the price estimate surge or no surge. As for bonus i, bolt gives me bonus everyday, though i don't know of other drivers.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. PuZZyNegro, the driver may have been saying the truth.

GloriousGbola:
This is the same guy who thought 200k is generous as a salary. Understand that you are engaging a sheltered person without responsibilities.

Rent and school fees constitute significant spend that you must plan ahead for. If you are a salary earner you must set aside. If you are a business owner you need a bulk payment.

I miss the days of paid employment because I had January school fees on lock back then. I set up my finances such that my leave allowance, 13th month and turkey allowance all combined in December.

Those days are gone now.

You don talk am finish

Mine is set up similarly. Leave allowance pays rent and 1st term school fees. January upfront pays second term school fees. 13th month goes to parents for December expenses.

And before Melvin comes, all the allowances are also a part of your salary. Some companies allow you compress everything and receive alongside your monthly salary.

Emaprince:
Guy that melvyn na woman dey that account.

He talks like all these ungrateful leeches that will ask you " is it because of the small thing you did for me? Are you not a man?".

Imagine saying you have to contribute willingly in meetings. A group you willingly joined to partake in all their activities.

Also, he didn't know that as a man who is working and earning, it is your responsibility to take care of, not just your aging parents, but also friends in need, your siblings who aren't doing well, friends and even strangers who maybe be in dire need of an assistance to live.

He believe the money you make is for you alone. If na like that, we for dey recklessly spend on ourselves, after all, the money I make should be spent on myself alone.

The guy matter tire me.

PuZZyNegro:
This is common in Port Harcourt. Unlike Lagos, they don't show them the price estimate.

When I went to Port Harcourt and booked Bolt, the driver asked that we do offline for 2500 while the online was 2800.

Nothing like Bonus there. Lagos drivers are enjoying. And the incident of killing riders and drivers is very prevalent there too. The driver that drove me said that about eight Bolt drivers have been killed of recent there. How can people be killing because of ordinary Corolla.

Meanwhile, do we need to create a Twitter thread to stop this thing Bolt is doing. A rider was complaining to me yesterday how a driver that's at Ogba picked her request while she's inside Unilag Estate, Magodo.

I explained to her that it's not the driver's fault but Bolt's. In an attempt to avoid blocking and balance the stats, we pick the request even when we know that it's impossible to carry out the order.

Below is the trip that came just before hers. I accepted it and the rider cancelled immediately.

All lies to deceive you and swindle bolt of their commission. Port Harcourt drivers see price estimate.

I also believe they get bonuses but I'm not sure. Ksmart027 can confirm

https://www.nairaland.com/7939127/sanwo-olu-celebrates-four-years-without

Personally I think this os worth celebrating

The Lagos state government and the LSSTF they set up that equips RRS has been a success . Armed robbers don’t just feel convinced they can walk into any bank in the remotest part of Lagos; rob a bank and walk free .

That alone is worth celebrating cos this Lagos everybody eyes dey chook

Or maybe bank robberies have just reduced nation wide. I can't remember any in Rivers State as well in the last four years. There was a time it was very common.

Melvyn11:
You don't pay school fees and house rent monthly. You don't need to spend anything on donations, family members and church activities, you do those willingly because you want to. What kind of growing children will require you to buy clothes monthly? The only thing you have mentioned that are given are feeding and fueling.

What kind of ridiculous statement is this? So if you don't pay house rent and school fees monthly, It doesn't come from your monthly income? You don't need to spend on family members? We should leave our aged parents to die of hunger?

rooftops:
I always thought banks pay the full amount in case of failure?

For where? It's just that the banking industry is well regulated. These days, once CBN notices signs of distress, they will sack the board and handover the bank to a caretaker like they did to Skye bank before it eventually turned to polaris.

Lets pick any of these countries Egypt and Algeria and we will realize they are much richer in Income per head than Nigeria when you consider their yearly budget / their population you will see that beside Nigeria they are very rick and despite that, they have their own foreign companies leaving as well. If you can read Arabic or French which is the media language in Algeria you will see similar news. They didnt vote APC

No be 2013 I dey see in the screenshot?


You said Egypt and Algeria have a higher income per head than Nigeria. Isn't that also an indictment on the government?

And your other response as to why GSK has remained in Egypt and Algeria is that other companies are also leaving. I wish they were coming to into Nigeria as they are leaving Egypt.

BlueRayDick:
I am tempted to believe those who always u’ve money with those funny/wonder banks are people who did not genuinely sweat to make their money . Because I just can’t understand why anybody in his right senses will leave normal commercial banks that are partially protected by NDIC and then keep their money with those funny banks .

Is it ignorance or they bewitched them ?

Even normal commercial banks , if u have 100m deposited with them and the bank fails ; NDIC will only pay u 500k which is the Maximum insured sum they can guarantee .

Person go come dey out money for one nonsense Gomoney that u don’t even know if NDIC can even guarantee #20k to give u if they liquidate …. Smh

I was going to say the same thing. Why do people work so hard to make money and dash it out to scammers? I can't wrap my head around it. The human mind is so complex. People do things that you sometimes just can't explain. And this one will still not teach them a lesson. Many others will still fall victim before the end of the year.

Even as Opay, moniepoint and the likes are fully licensed by the CBN to operate as MFBs, I can't put any serious money in them talk more of go money.

Emaprince:
Guy 600k means you are managing life in the current Nigeria.

Was it the APC govt of Kenya and India that made GSK to leave those countries as well? The ones that cannot buy knockoff will import GSK from UK

There are many factors that will affect many countries that is not related to APC, UTC or CNN party they voted

A bad government is a bad government. Doesn't matter if its Kenya or India.

Why are you not mentioning that the same GSK is still in Egypt, Algeria e.t.c. What are they doing differently? Are they not also third world countries like Nigeria?

BlueRayDick:
Wale Edun shaould even start from his principal Tinubu, Wike , Atiku and other presidential aspirants who mopped up dollars late last year to bribe delegates for their respective parties’ presidential ticket .

Na those ones gan gan know where the dollars hide outside the banking system

Exactly. Make dem free us who are just surviving.

raumdeuter:
GSK has standard and their prices cannot come lower, The Indian Lebanese competitiors can do what GSK cannot to sell for lower

GSK has a brand name to protect

It is not about that. Gsk has its own target customers. The problem is that their customers can no longer afford them due to the erosion of their purchasing power by the APC government.

Everyone will not buy knock off Lebanese products.

[color=royalblue]How come this cheaper alternatives didn't run them out the market from 1999 to 2019?

Abi na today Dr Iguedo Goko cleanser begin reign?[/color]

You are asking good questions

I also noticed that most mechanic workshops are empty this period. This used to be the time when people fix their cars and paint it so they can travel with it.

Looks like these cheaper alternatives took all car owners away from mechanics, panel beaters and painters
