Like in what planet is a person withdrawing 100k cash in a day and 500k cash in a week.

For wetin? I dislike cash. You cannot track it. If someone uses my card for a purchase I can track it down. If a person scams me there is a record that I paid him. With cash it is my word against yours.

One time my pikins school was supposed to repay me money for a service not used. We have no record of this payment. Sharp sharp I went into my email and located the payment. Problem solved.

This is why people are pissed with gtb. Right now some transactions no dey show.

[color=royalblue]When you have to pay labourers weekly at a site, then you would understand why you need cash.

You think everyone has POS machines and bank accounts?

TemporaryHansel:
I don't know how much it'll cost, but I know two people that own filling stations, and I don't believe either of them have 500m

[color=royalblue] They built it recently?

Or they have had it like 10 years ago?[/color]

TemporaryHansel:
One filling station is 500m?

Y'all exaggerate some of these things.

[color=royalblue]How much do you think it is worth?[/color]

[color=royalblue]Unless this memo is now now.

I just bought at NNPC after Ogudu. MRS is just the next one and nobody is there, because theirs is up but 20 naira

Modified: Na now now the mail just drop. Very good

aieromon:
MRS already handles that.

[color=royalblue]And their petrol is still expensive?

God help them[/color]

Bovi is not the only parent that doesn't flog their kids as a form of discipline, so that's hardly the koko. The main the main was him creating the impression that he okay's destruction of property because he's a big man that can afford these things and it is evidenced by the fact that his kid has not only broken TV once in anger, but has done so on two other occasions.

A kid breaking TV as an outlet for anger is not normal, even in homes where the parents have 1000 times Bovi's wealth.

[color=royalblue]Simple

To add to that, it is even dangerous to the child, irrespective of whether I can buy it 1000 times. Glass particles can render him blind.

Because I am rich enough to buy 1 billion Corollas doesn't mean I should reprimand my child if he bashes the car.

Today, it could be bumper damage. Tomorrow, it could take his life.[/color]

The thing dey shock me oooh. He no dey write letter again. He no dey blame people from other SE states. I wish PDP & LP in Anambra can merge.

[color=royalblue]Nothing pisses me off as offering criminals amnesty.

You have just exposed how weak you are.

With how oblivious Obiano was, it wasn't like this.

The same fellow wey dem behead him HoA member, and nothing happened

Tueh![/color]

TrebleChamp:
He is our player, if Chelsea or any top club want him they should pay £130m. Smaller clubs can be considered for less fee....

[color=royalblue]Keep am naa. Abi do you see any club toasting you for Rashford?

Keep am for bench, dey pay 300k[/color]

CapitalCee:
Comot for here , Yeah but you can sell but you can sell Gallagher for 40m abi? You can sell Mount for 55m abi. You can sell Hutchinson to Ipswich for 25milion. Arsenal sold Nketiah for 30 million, the guy has not scored a single goal for Palace since. Infact he hasnt scored more than 5 league goals a season. But Rashford for 30m calls for celebration. I no blame you, na Man U fans wey de even engage una with this stupidity

[color=royalblue]Can you buy this version of Rashford for 30 million?

As for Mount, it is the stupidity of your board to pay. Maga fall, guyman chop.

You better peg him at 25 million, and move on.

When rebuilding, you should be open to selling some items for scraps [/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Buhari 2.0

[color=royalblue]This guy left Anambra worse in insecurity than he met it.

Just a pity that the opposition has no serious candidate.

As much as I disliked Late Ifeanyi Ubah, I was open to accept him as a replacement for this guy.

Make e just do comot. He can later rule Nigeria and replicate his confused security ideologies there.[/color]

DeadPresidents:
My own na say, Pikin need to learn say every action get equal and opposite reaction.

If Bovi pikin break TV outside, them fit Cole Palm am before Bovi dey on ground to handle the situation.

As a kid, no matter how angry I get, them no born me to break TV because I understand the opposite reaction is no cartoons/movies/gaming/football for months (If i don’t lose access forever)

Every human considers action and effect that’s why you won’t pick up quarrel with the local street boxer. That’s the same reason kids learn to avoid stealing bitter leaf…it’s not worth it

Bovi’s kids understand there’s no effect to breaking TVs and fundamentals of human and animal behaviour is defined succinctly: "What gets rewarded, gets done"

[color=royalblue]Well said.

Very well said.[/color]

TrebleChamp:
Bring £130m and he is your this January...

[color=royalblue]If anyone buys him for 30 million, you guys should declare 3 working days as public holidays

E be like say you no understand the kind liability wey you wan dispose [/color]

[color=royalblue]If Black Ronaldo can collect 75k per week, we would welcome him to Chelsea.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Musiala for free or shikini money??

Oasis007, your plug, please.

This has to be something strong[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Go and check her Timeline, she's been responding to people doubting the incident and those who think she's telling the story for fun.

I don't understand why Nigerians always like to trivialize the experience of others and make it seem like there's embellishment in their story even when we all know how terrible our security system is.

Is it that Nigeria has so much happened to majority of Nigerians to the extent that they see these criminal activities as something one should not complain about anymore or what exactly is wrong with us?

[color=royalblue]There is nothing abnormal about her story. NPF are known for everything that defies normalcy

The only confusing part was an a jurisdiction in Gbagada, carrying out a raid in VI. But still, nothing is impossible with the NPF

Asides that, no be today police dey carry person[/color]

BlueRayDick:
So u really think the policemen that collected their phone at the counter to avoid any recording will be daft enough to collect transfer from her for the bail ? 🤷‍♂️

They will most likely collect cash in order not to leave any paper trail of evidence . Even if the boy had written any statement , it will be torn to shreds the moment he gets bailed by the parents .

If she mentions the DPO name , he will deny the incident ever happened since there’s no evidence .

[color=royalblue]They have a POS agent that will collect it outside.

Still, she should have dropped all those details.

You cannot just be telling us a story for fun, especially if you have japaed.

Now, it looks like she just wants to trend on Kemi's saga. Of what use is this story, if it doesn't have the intent to touch somebody's career? [/color]

Tell me what difference will it make
In case you don't know sars are back on our roads
Until another person dies they will rinse and repeat

[color=royalblue]I know naa

I am still wondering how Kidnappers have not started using that format to kidnap people

Someone will wear casual, hold a gun and pull up in a scrappy vehicle and identify himself as a policeman. Which country dey do that one?
[/color]

[color=royalblue]This IrishNaija woman should have dropped the details of everyone involved.

You don japa already. Why make it a story?

Drop DPO name
Drop account details of the receiver.

At least, let someone get sacked or live with the shame.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
The excuse does not hold water and visa interview is quite different from capturing at an immigration center .

Maybe FESTAC center is quite different from Ikoyi o, but there’s genuinely no reason for them to ask people put their phones away in an immigration capturing room.

At the Ikoyi capturing room , u can have 20 people ushered into the room at the same time sitting in chairs patiently waiting for their turn. U have like 4 cameras and 4 officers manning them .

When 4 passport applicants are asked to step forward and have their biometrics done, the rest 16 people will be seated patiently waiting for their turn .

While the capturing is going on for those 4 people , u have immigration officers keep barking instructions and telling the remaining 16 people to put their phone away. Even if u have a work related email or message u need to urgently attend to while waiting , u won’t be allowed to . They will threaten to send u outside once they see ur phone in sight and won’t allow u in again .

While u are patiently waiting , u will see them bring in one or two people who will directly go to meet the officers doing capturing without joining the waiting list . When u want to protest , they will ask u threateningly “ madam what is the matter ? “. That way u just have to keep quiet and allow since u have waited that long to make it into the capturing room.

They don’t even hide it taking money from those people they brought in and fast tracked their capturing . It is my strong opinion that their hostile attitude towards seeing phone on sight is to prevent u from making either a voice or video recording of the rubbish they are doing .

[color=royalblue]Like I said, I cannot argue with your experience, and I wouldn't doubt it since this is Nigeria.

But I think there is enough sense in asking people to stay off their phones for a limited time.

Berger to CMS is not less than 30 minutes drive. I don't think anyone here will reply a work email while driving. You cannot park for fear of LASTMA either. And the work won't suffer because you didn't reply a mail in one minute.

Many places will ask you to keep phones away for different reasons. I don't see the Immigration asking people to keep phones away during capturing as ridiculous.

At least, you agree with me that you can use your phones everywhere in their premises, except that room.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
So what documents or safety precautions are the police trying to address by collecting phones

[color=royalblue]Where did you see me talk about Police?

I only said that of the Immigration should be different.

I never said what the Police does makes sense. The entire Police Unit sef doesn't make sense to me at all.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Bros why will people not concentrate in capturing room knowing how important the document is and how we suffer for any mistake in our documents
It really doesn't hold water

[color=royalblue]How come embassies ask you to switch off your phone and you will do it, knowing fully well that it is an important interview. Does this hold water?

People press phones while driving, knowing fully well that they can kill somebody or themselves.

Maybe banning the usage of phones while driving doesn't hold water

What is unusual in limiting phone usage during a process? [/color]

BlueRayDick:
I saw money exchange hands after two different people were done with capturing and I also saw one of the junior officers giving one woman account number to transfer to for fast tracking her capturing .

That is my own reality at the Ikoyi passport officer. I even know the name of the junior officer , but have no reason to mention his name here sha.

Nobody stays on long queue to wait for his turn and them starts pressing phone when it is time to capture. Personally I don't have an issue keeping my phone away for the time required for capturing , but they make it seem like there's more to the phone stuff the way they bark at people like they about to let out their secret

[color=royalblue]I cannot argue with your experience though.

But the Capturing room is where you spend the least time compared to the other offices where you carry files like a Jambite.

I did mine in Festac, and nobody exchanges money there. Even if you want to bribe, you would have done it outside the office, where you can also use your phones.

That aspect requires the full concentration of both parties. If they make a mistake in any letter of your name, you cannot apply for a new one. You will need to do a Change of name.

That is X2 of what you paid for a normal passport. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
This excuse holds no water at all.

They literally bring people(special candidates) to jump queue while u are patiently waiting for capturing. People do protest but there's nothing u can do about it.

They threaten to send u out even if they see ur phone in sight without u operating it. Which attention are they looking for when u are in an enclosed room and patiently waiting to be captured?

They are simply preventing u from capturing the jumping of queue and money exchanging hands happening. Na wetin I use my two eyes see I dey talk o, not hearsay.

[color=royalblue]It holds water.

If everyone was on their phones and making calls, there's a tendency to make errors or capture people wrongly.

How come the same excuse holds water in a visa interview for any embassy? They even ask you to switch it off, and we gladly do it.

I haven't seen exchange of monies in a capturing room. Yes, people are brought in after sorting officers, but it doesn't happen inside that room. Maybe you have seen sha.

But no usage of phones happens in many places. In less than 10 minutes sef, you don comot.[/color]

https://punchng.com/nba-faults-police-for-detaining-lawyer-seeking-clients-bail/

The lawyer in the above link was brutalized and detained for seeking the bail of his client. Going to the station with ur lawyer doesn't guarantee anything whe dealing with naija police.

If u notice the woman's story, she went to the station with her husband and lawyer, their phone was seized at the gate to prevent them from making any recordings of their ordeal and they had to part with cash to bail the boy.

The last time I had something to do at a police station, I was also told to submit my phone at the counter; same thing with immigration office, they don't allow u to operate ur phone for fear that u may record any of their illegalities.

How can anyone see all these criminalities happening and be expected to be a patriot by not calling them out when u have a chance to?

[color=royalblue]The Immigration is actually different.

It is only inside the capturing centre that you will not be allowed to use your phone.

And that is because they need your full attention, not because of you recording any irregularities.

Just like how you are not allowed to use your phones in a visa interview. [/color]

[color=royalblue]Mason Mount was really a bad buy, to be honest.

But we can make it up to you guys if you take Chilwell.

I think this cash scarcity is limited to Lagos because I haven't experienced or heard of this here....

[color=royalblue]I don't know, but it's serious.

I am currently at the beach, and 5k is 400 naira here.[/color]

Ihebu4chelsea:
Na them cause am, bank staff's now dhe use am as business. Those POS guys no dhe ever lack money

[color=royalblue]I am telling you that they lack money; Especially these past few days

I withdrew yesterday and today, and na 200 notes dem dey pay. Some won't even agree to sell 50k.

There is no cash anywhere...POS or not.[/color]

Ihebu4chelsea:
POS business is the cause of this problem. You need to see how these guys withdraw money from the ATM machine, Especially now that POS is a full time job. Govt needs to do something!

[color=royalblue]But there is no money at the POS too naa?


Na 200 notes dem dey give now sef.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Personally I think people are unnecessarily stupiiid with all these tribal bigotry agenda they choose to run on stuff like this .

They are so narrow minded and do not even see that the contractor who gets the job will not import laborers from wherever he hails from but from the community the project is being executed .

Sometimes I wonder if there’s any financial incentive for being a bigot or it’s just the usual ego massaging and the air of superiority over random people online .

[color=royalblue]I personally think there is a view of division that the online sphere paints, that doesn't exist in reality.

Okay, how come for 12 months or so that the project was going on, nobody protested about Eze being the contractor? From Traditional leaders, to community/family heads, all saw the post, and did not complain

Na when Yayi post am online, e become a big problem

Well, she can do well to burn down the school, if she is not happy with it. That is still an option[/color]
