In Shan Khan's voice; IT HAS BEGAN

When is it coming up? Let's try as much as we can to copy a letter of request for peaceful protest to all security agencies online, make sure youths that are into IT set up online feeds to the whole wide world. cool cool

@Op what then is the manifesto? There should be a master plan, a set out objective and goal. Who or what are we going to start boycotting? I hope it won't just be civil disobedience?
Yes I agree... We need a master plan. Let's have suggestions on the clear cut demand we are to push forward.

Bros. You don't know how happy i am to read your post. This is how it starts. It takes one person or a group of "normal" people to begin the change we all seek. Nothing might come of this, but at least it will bring right thinking people together to discuss the way forward. I have been in the thick and thin of people who are determined to fight and, fought for what they believe in all over the world and i can tell you that it starts when a people are at their tipping point. Nigeria is gradually getting to it's tipping point. The reason these guys get away with what they are doing is because of ordinary citizens in Nigeria who prop them up. Nigeria needs to do what Jerry Rawlings did in '79. Ghana is better off for it today. The reason why nothing will change is because the system is corrupt. The people are corrupt. What has to happen needs to be quick. It needs to be targeted. It needs to be violent. It needs to shake the country. We need a coup or armed revolution. Without this, we'll be talking about the Nigerian condition for the next 50 years.
Thank you for that wonderful statement. Each time I see new born babies in this country I usually weep for them. Is this the country we are going to leave behind for them? Enough is enough! Let's make our elites know that we put them there and we have a voice.

This is a follow up thread to the referenced thread below:
https://www.nairaland.com/3210525/nigeria-finished-me#47274430.

Went through the aforementioned thread last night, and I really wept at the level of suffering that has been passed down to us by the elites.

Last night I couldn't sleep cos of the pain and agony. Then, a thought came to me that we really can make a positive change and that we are not outnumbered, but rather, we are just unorganized. A 10million Nigerian youths can make a difference. Can ten million Nigerian youths converge at National Assembly or the state house? And every youth should know that if we don't protest now, posterity will judge us, our children will so curse our existence. This is a struggle for the survival of the common man.

Personally I don't think I will be alive come next 50years.
So, we should see this as a duty we owe generations unborn.

So I call upon all the vibrant youths that have already made a comment on the aforementioned thread to think about this proposal.

I am a legal migrant living and working in France on a life contract (CDI). I have lived here for five years plus and been legal for four years.

I have had some good and not so good experiences while here that I would like to share but I'd like to know if we have Nairalanders who lives in France also that would want to share their stories for our people back home or other countries that which to come to France to learn from.

Feel free to ask me "any" question(s) concerning France
"Lets go"
Boss, will really like to know more about life in France. A friend of mine is processing a 10years work permit to France through an agency. Now, am interested but, sametime am abit skeptical about the chances of being granted such a permit. What's the kinda of job one can get with a Nigerian degree?

BusinessRe: What Happens To The Money In My Savings Account If I Die? by Johnrake69: 11:20pm On Jul 06, 2016
DY20:
Thanks for the tip man, at least now I know that one way or the other sha, my relatives can have access to my funds in case of my demise. And I find it weird to be writing about wills at this young age of mine.
And again, with without, children can take over their parent's asset at their death by default. Do that apply to his money in bank too?
We had a case like that in my firm, our client died without a will. Meanwhile, she had lots of money in her account with us. The children couldnt gain access to the funds until they provided a letter of administration among other requirements. Don't worry, it's simply responsible of you to be thinking of passing down all you own. It's nothing evil or to be ashamed of. Life is transient.
BusinessRe: What Happens To The Money In My Savings Account If I Die? by Johnrake69:
Very interesting question I must say, and I will like to correct a wrong notion among average Nigerian with respect to the next of kin and how it relates to your assets, before I address your question based on my little experience in financial services.

Many people confuse next of kin to mean beneficiary. This is incorrect, although, your next of kin can also be your beneficiary. Next of kin is simply the person to reach out to in your absence, and as such, it should be an adult, preferably a close relation. And your beneficiary is the person you are giving the right to take over your assets when you're no more.

Now, back to how it relates to your bank account. The next of kin column you filled in your account opening form has nothing to do with handing over your assets. It's simply a record the bank keeps to reach to someone close when it's been impossible to reach you their client.
In the case of your demise, the bank can only release your funds to your beneficiary on the execution of your registered will or in the absence of a will, through a letter of administration to be obtained through the probate office. The later option means the asset will be liable to tax.

Note: this is based on my little experience in the financial services.

The learned fellows in the house can add or correct me if am wrong.

Must my fellow Nigerians insult PMB for personal satisfaction??
This man Buhari has all it takes to preside over Africa talkless of Nigeria. I even expected things to be tougher under him because "corruption will surely fight BACK"
Afterall, so many phenomena outside his personal control are responsible for our current travails.
We both Christians and Muslims are to pray for him. Country has been severely messed up by both APC and PDP before he came.
WE ARE TO PRAY AND SUPPORT HIS GOVT.
Bros abeg if you know wetin to talk blow whistle. Which kind talk be that? Na first time Buhari dey enter government be this?

Governor of the Northeastern State
30 July 1975 – 3 January 1976

Governor of Borno State
3 January 1976 – March 1976

Federal Commissioner of Petroleum and Natural Resources
March 1976 – June 1978

7th Head of State of Nigeria
31 December 1983 – 27 August 1985

Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund
Under the Abachas's regime.

Now GCFR of Nigeria
2015- till date.

In summary, it's simply a height of hubris trying to absolve Buhari from the list leaders that destroyed this country. Peace

The insults and name calling are really not necessary. Yes, I share his view on this issue. The current system we are running is really not working. If I knew what I know now when I got out of Secondary school, maybe I wouldn't have been in a hurry to get into school. The westerners who are proponents of the formal education most times encourage the high school leavers to take a gap year to experience life. Learn a skill, culture, anything.
