kanor: @Poster, if they promised to refund you why not contact them directly and get the refund? instead of coming here to post bad comments. It is up to 30 days? Some organizations have internal procedures/timing for initiating a refund.

There are guys here asking people to go to physical shop to buy- seems we still have some guys living/thinking lagged 50 yrs!

30 days internal procedures/timing even after they (Jumia)have fail to delivery to the customer base on their promise and email of refund of 3-5 days.

Foxy_Ultimate:

You know I had to google that word so I can have a suitable answer for you.

Aint no kid but this is the first time I'm dealing with something like this.

Started doing stuffs since I was [b].... well... a long time ago [/b]

So with your .... well... a long time ago, you are still a learner!!! If truly u are a master of the game (as you claim) bros, check your sperm counts abeg....

Vanessy: JUMIA ARE the No 1 Online thieves we Have in this Country. They are ripping Nigerians off Big time. Do you know
that most of the items they Claim to sell, they dont have them in stock. Their products are so expensive and substandard.
And their poor delivery services and customer relationship.

Can u imagine, They dont have a physical store or shop where people could come see for themselves what they sell
If u ask them on their facebook page where their shop or physical store is, they would tell u that they dont have physical shop,
that u simply order and get it deliver to your doorstep. Is that not a Scam?

@ the poster, you are not the only one they have done this to, we have so Ngerians with so many complaints about their
Fraudulent activities.

Sister, not having a physical store does not make them scam, its a business model that has been use and proven to work. Amazon business model is base on this also and we all can agree that Amazon is a success and they keep to what they advertise unlike this fraudsters called

newken: You have to be patient. Your money will be refunded. It happens to me all the time as i am a regular buyer online. Refund takes 5 to 3 weeks sometimes. It is the responsibility of the financial institutions to perfect the refund, not the selling party. Dont damage the reputation of that company. Be patient. You should at least wait a month before calling them 'FRAUD'.

You sound unreasonable with your comment, that the OP should wait for at-least a month for a refund, you are definitely a bad PR representative. How those refund become the responsibility of the financial institution, when the process of refund start with Jumia by initializing a refund request from their E-payment channel portal.

mjay: I ordered and paid for a Tablet from Jumia for (N26,923) on the 11th March. I only paid after calling them to confirm the availability and was told it was available, I went on to pay online.

To my shock they called me three days later to inform me that the product is not available and that I should order for something else to which I declined. I asked for a refund and was told the refund will take between 1 - 5 days, it has been more than 8days now and I have been calling them on daily basis to which they keep telling me that it is under process, this to me is kind of FRAUDULENT.

It is an online payment, my experience has always been when online payment for service is unavailable, the fund is sent back to the originating account once all confirmations have been made. I have sent all confirmations, the money is supposed to be returned to the account from which I paid initially. Till Now I am still waiting.

My diliema now is how to retrieve my money, and to also warn unsuspecting customers never to pay before they take delivery of the goods for JUMIA.



Is there anyone in the house that had previously fallen victim of refund? How and when did you get back your money?

JUMIA is not a reliable eCommerce company, I have similar experience with them. I order a webcam and paid N13400 online since February 27, 2013 only for them to call me three days later that the webcam is not in stocks, they i should order a new product and pay the extra. I told them to cancel the order and refund me. Ever since then, it has been one story from the other and up to this moment i have not hear from them.

My Solutions: I have to call my bank yesterday lodge in a complain about the transaction and my bank has assure me of speed resolutions "Refund" before friday.

What is sub-set?

Did you in any way have problem comprehending English language!!!

naijaguy77: ECA - Excess Crude Account

The ECA was conceived by the OBJ regime as a savings account to put money away for a "rainy day". Since we base our budget on price of oil, if we say we budget $65 per barrel at 2m barrels per day, during the year, we may be fortunate and oil might actually trade at $100 per barrel and we might succeed in producing an average of 2.3m barrels per day. The excess money we earn would then go into the ECA. This was fantastic public funds management by OBJ, especially because oil prices fluctuate a lot, and sometimes we earn less than we anticipated, the funds in the ECA would the be our saviour on such a rainy day.

This was all going well, but there was one problem. The greedy governors realised the the ECA, though a good for the country, was actually unconstitutional, therefore illegal. The governors (including Fashola) threatened sue the FG if all the money was not immediately "shared".

This puts the FG in a very difficult position, as the FG knows that it is sound economic policy and prudent management to save for a rainy day. Everytime the ECA funds build up to any significant amount, the governors would come and insist on sharing the money or else they will go to court.

This is the genesis of the ECA depletion. The governors want the money shared even when it is not a "rainy day". And members of the national assembly also insist on sharing the money, usually insisting that Nigeria has many problems and do not need to save money that can be used to "solve our problems". Essentially, every arm of government bar the executive arm of FG is against savings.

After much bickering, the FG through NOI conceived of the Soverign Wealth Fund, which would be backed by law, as a compromise and a way to ensure that some money is put away for emergency. Even at this, the legislature and govs made sure the cut the FG down and insist on a meagre $1 billion for the SWF.

So, is it right to accuse the FG of squandering the money in ECA? Well, yes the FG also got their share of the money, but it is wrong to blame it on the FG, as all the state governors unite in this matter, and their position is always, we must "share" (spend) the money.

Again, it is wrong for Madam Ezekwesili to insinuate that the FG is responsible for this squandering. The entire nation, and all parties - PDP, APC, ACN, Anpp, etc is responsible.

The truth is, the Federal Government of Nigeria is made up of very inept and unsound people, who are almost always up to no good, such that even when someone like Madam Ezekwesili makes an unsound accusation, instead of the FG to take her on and expose her as unsound, their first instinct is to run and hide, or to respond with even more unsound rhetoric. Shameful really, considering that Madam Ezekwesili can be taken apart in 2 minutes. Shame on FG.

OP, You write so well but with a lot of bias, so for me, you can best be called "an intelligent mugu"

taharqa: NO. Plz read tru d article again. The ECA is a SUBSET of Foreign Reserves. She admittd that much in dis article. If we say that today that the Reserves is $48bn, we also mean that that is INCLUSIVE of almost $11bn in d ECA- you dont add d $11bn to $48bn and say d Reserves is $59bn. This was exactly d point sm of us hv bn trying to get across to FRUSTRATED 'SUBHUMANS' like @Demdem.... There was NEVER $67bn Reserves at any time. OBJ left a little above $45bn (ECA inclusives)

You want manufacture your own fact abi... She said $45b Foreign Reserve and $22b ECA total $67B.

“He knows that they are distorting the point of my article by using their ‘straw number’ of $67b which I did not use in my speech. My speech stated $45b Foreign Reserve and $22b ECA and he more than anyone knows that Excess Crude Account is a sub-set of Foreign Reserve!”

Following the stunning revelation by wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan, penultimate Sunday, that some of her belongings were sold off upon rumours of her death, security operatives are said to be probing the incident and may have narrowed down their investigations to three suspects.

The First Lady had said that some of her close associates sold her belongings while she was on sick bed in a German hospital believing she would not return to the country alive.

A highly reliable source in Abuja disclosed to National Mirror that two choice properties belonging to the wife of the President had been recovered from the buyers.

The properties are believed to be held in trust for the First Lady.

Mrs. Jonathan had on Sunday, February 17, during a thanksgiving service at the Aso Villa Chapel revealed that while she was undergoing surgeries and passed out for seven days, those close to her sold off some of her belongings with the hope she would not come back to life.

Her words: “I am not Lazarus but my experience was similar to his. My doctors said all hope was lost. A black doctor who is with us in this service was flown in from London when the situation became critical.

It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I will return to Nigeria. God woke me up after seven days.

“I know that some people somehow leaked the information that I was dead. They are people that I trust and rely on. To them, I was dead and I would never return to the country alive. Some of them even sold off my things.

“I won’t say everything here. It is the Lord’s doing that I returned alive.” Impeccable source close to the seat of power, however, told National Mirror that a prominent businesswoman, an aide of the First Lady and a top government functionary had been quizzed for their alleged involvement in the sale of the properties.

It was also learnt that the international passports of the three suspects had been seized by security operatives.

“Even before the President’s wife made it public that her properties were sold off by her friends, security agencies had been briefed about the development.

“After painstaking investigation by a team of detectives, three people were picked as the masterminds of the sale of the properties. “They have been interrogated and to forestall a situation where they will flee the country, their international passports have been seized.

“I am also aware that security operatives have also recovered the First Lady’s properties sold out by the suspects,” the source told National Mirror.

It was further learnt that the properties, valued at several millions of naira, were located in Abuja and Lagos.

The source said that the businesswoman, who is believed to be very close to Mrs. Jonathan, might have facilitated the sale of one of the properties while the presidential aide and top government functionary perfected the documentation of the illegal transaction.

As at the time of going to the press, it was not clear whether the three suspects have refunded all the proceeds from the sale.

The source added that the suspects might be charged to court after the investigation had been concluded.

timismum: Thank you Vicjustice. I just really want to be careful with my next application only for 'just foolish ' to talk to me like he knew me

Bros,

Read your first post and Justwise question to you again, you will find the missing link.... His question is not directed at your person or intended to insult you in any way but an extract from your post to know the type of (in your words)silly-questions you may have asked the FCO office of uk in Abuja by email.

babybird82:

The celebration has started Jt2010. I collected my package today and the visa was granted.

I wanna say a very big thank you to all of you that assisted me in getting this done on my own. I went through the part 1 and part 2 of this thread, made enquiries and got good responses and then gathered all the documents that I had that was listed. This was my 2nd attempt.

Wishing all others goodluck.

Congratulations and enjoy ur holiday.

ROSSIKE:


Oh dearie me. You must think you're addressing one of your semi-literate beer parlour friends. ''Even in the heat of war Hollande visited Mali''. Is Mali not an entire country? Where in Mali did Hollande visit? You can bet there was no fighting there. Gowon visited Calabar? Why didn't he visit Enugu or Onitsha in the heat of battle? Bush visited Iraq. Is Iraq not an entire country? Where in Iraq did Bush visit? You can bet there was no fighting there at the time. Blair visited Iraq. Is Iraq not a country? Blair could have visited anywhere in Iraq, even a remote village outside the scene of conflict. So you see, your examples of ''the bravery of other leaders'' are FRAUDULENT and do not apply to President Jonathan whom you are demanding visits a specific town - Maiduguri ''in the heat of battle''. Did Blair or Bush visit Baghdad or Kabul in the heat of battle?

So Baghdad and Kabul are part of UK and USA territory

ocelot2006:

Huh...seriously, who's this douche? Is that your best come-back line?

Vulgarity is not intelligent... I asked that you state any two new power generations plants started by the GEJ Administration!!! You go about listing projects that Mr. President inherited... You just shows how unsophisticated you are To you, the construction stage is the beginning of new power plant projects abi but to knowledgeable people, it start from the Feasibility and Conceptual Studies (FEED), then Detailed Engineering Design, then Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning. So figure it out yourself.... as i said before you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts!!!

taharqa: If any person actuali believe that a PRESIDENT, any President, wud schedule a STATE VISIT in less than a week, that person must be an irredeemable IJIOT and complete IGNORAMOUS. But then again, there are a lot of such on NL; So no surprises...

I believe your story but please how many weeks does it take to schedule the Mr. President visit to Police College in Lagos

franchizy: To be Frank d president was scheduled to visit Borno state in October 2011 but it was shelved cos of an international engagement. He scheduled anoda visit in 2012 bt cos of d subsidy crisis he shelved it and sent his VP. I recall his planed visit to Borno state on March 7th was planed early in January and a letter was sent to d Borno state Governor. An Aide to d Gov revealed to a source in d presidency how d Gov had planed wit d opposition Governors to hold d meeting in Borno state just to embarass d president and deceive Nigerians.
After d presidents visit to Borno state, he will visit Yobe, Gombe, Kaduna, Adamawa, Bauchi and Jos.
Nigerians shud know dat GEJ is d best president we ever had, very humble and industrious. He has performed better than all other presidents. The only president to ve fought corruption to d last later. The only president who ve never stolen one penny. The only president working with God fearing cabinets.
The only president who has changed the life of many Nigerians. I think the president needs our support to bring Nigeria bk to the promise land.
Sir, I on behalf of Nigerians and my fellow Nairalanders wish u journey mercy and Gods protection as u embark on your visit to Borno state

OP, this your line are too dumb for this job!!!!

ocelot2006:

You sure about that. Okay, i'll bite.
1) 1074MW Alaoji Power plant, Abia state (2012)
2) 434MW Geregu II Power plant, Kogi state (2013)

Hey, why don't I add some more, dumbass?
3) 675MW Olorusogo II power station, Ogun State
4)450MW Omotosho II power station

6) 450MW NIPP Sapele Power Station, Delta state

Please note that I did NOT include power plants initiated by OBJ (but executed, completed, and commisioned by GEJ). Hey don't forget the following under construction, thanks to GEJ administration:
1) 450MW Ihovbor Power plant, Edo state (2012)
2) 338MW NIPP Egbema power station, Imo state
3) 561MW Calabar Power Station, Cross River state
4) 225MW Omoku II power station
5) 3050MW Mambilla Hydroelectric power station, Taraba state.

And don't forget the planned coal power generation plant at Itoba, Kogi state.

Good enough for you, douche bag?

You are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts!!!

Gabbysky:
As an adult I should expect more. Plz show us that AGREEMENT or you my friend, should say what u know next time.
Even those in PDP haeve been asked to bring forth the agreement for a reward, they couldn't, na u!
Fashola can forget abt d GGT but [s]he too knows he has no iota of power to stop them from coming into Lagos to inspect ALL the FG projects that he(Fashola) takes glory in; [/s]u just be ready to vex ur anger on him when the GGT comes to town, I was also deceived.
Abegi...

They are free to tour Lagos as they want but some road in Lagos are toll so no free toll gate pass for them Or u think Lagos State government can be compare to the FG that stop movement of ACN support into the Abuja all in the name of politics.

ocelot2006:

So, the repairs of our road networks and other transport systems used to haul tonnes of goods and millions of Pax, the c[b]onstruction of new power generation plants[/b], substations that power our homes and businesses, and other major projects highlighted during the GGT are all waste of money, abi?

Btw, if you have an issue with the road outside your home, blame your state governor or LGA chairman, not the FG.

Can u mention about just two new power generations plants started by the GEJ Administration!!!

thelastPope:

What you keep missing is that "natives embarrasing the delegation" is part of the achievement of the tour! The point of the tour is not just to show what the FG has done or is doing. It is also a platform to challenge the FG where applicable and shame them if necessary! That is what the town hall meeting is about and am glad, there have already been some incidences like that. It is up to the press to bring those incidence to the fore.

So that your security operative can beat them up abi while the state governor that can match them and even come out to speak again it are called unprinted names or even blackmail to be aspirating to be President come 2015.....

Pataki:

Ground father? Oh you meant grandfather! Haha. You are a certified dunce!

Several notable members of this forum have attempted to correct your idiotic state of demented reasoning, I simply identified the root cause of it.

Here is a simple instruction: keep away from eating cassava bread in the morning; avoid eba in the afternoon; and finally keep away from garri at night.

Listen son, if you act according to my instructions for the next one week, your future generation will thank you for giving them a functional reasoning brain!

And BTW, it is spelt as: 'BOMB' not BO0O0B. Olodo oshi!

Godjone: tanks men! oshiomole is doing noting in edo state. He specialized in using virtualy all the state resources in buying flowers and painting uncopleted roads to decieve the ppl dat he is working, meanwhile, billions of naira alocated to the state cannot be accounted for.

And Abia state governor that has been adjudge by the Good Governance Tour to be performing can best be describe to be doing what then?

Vavavoom:

I t doesn't take talent to grow up neither foresight. My question to you is: why wait till execution of tour to tag the program ''ill-conceived''? Surely a man of Fashola's standing should have asked from the inception when the hawks gathered what format the tour was to take before shifting the goal post and drawing cold feet at during execution. To me it says much about them than the ruling pdp...unfortunately we all possess HINDSIGHT what is lacking is FORESIGHT. PDP, ACN are one and the same to me, the only difference is one party is controlling the cash flow. In the manner of their discourse a sound mind would easily decipher that changing one for another will produce no different result. In a country where most people, the electorate can hardly differentiate between state and federal projects the joke certainly won't be on the executors of such projects, sadly. More sadly is ACN failing to be different. What stops the ACN from doing their home work? Massive enlightenment about citizens' rights, project categorization - state or federal, opposition at the lowest of the grassroots is as important as figting to win the presidency! The councilors, mayors are closer to the people than the governors or president. Why not begin to educate people about alternative progressive governance via the grassroots? Teach, show your aspirants accountability to the people, importance of stewardship...this way we, the electorate can see and welcome you as a difference rather than a power seeker in a different garb.

You need to know how to draw the line between Practical and hypothesis. All claims that Fashola & other ACN Governors support the idea of the tour is base on the Communiqué issue by the NGF which has about 19 PDP governors, so taking a decision in such forum is base on vote in support and against, so if out of 36 members, 11 votes against and the remain 25 vote in support, the majority carry the day and the Communiqué will only reflex the outcome and not the deliberation, so expect any body can provide personal statement of each of those governors support the idea before now if not, they are on point.

taharqa:


My frnd, the MAJORITY of the projects shown in the tour are Federal Govt Projects. By far.

I honestly dont know where some of you guys get your info at times...

Your statement clearly shows FG intention of setting up the tour. Some few question for you?

1) What ask statement to provide hotels and other logistics for the FG delegates
2) What percents of the Projects shown is FG projects.
3) Of what benefits was showcasing state Projects going to benefit the FG.

u-best:
these APC men are the real boko haram sponsor, becos there are going Borno, they pass info. to their arms wing BH to cease fire, why coming in group, why were you people did not visit borno before, Nigerian most coppers plz do not be deceive by fraud stars governor and risk ur life for to BH headquarter. take note

Your statement shows that you are an intelligent-Mugu, because my understanding of your statement means that Mr. President, PDP and there Security teams are incompetent, because for you to know that this APC men are the real sponsor of BK, it means your master Mr. President knows that too and he (Mr. President) cannot do anything about it or choose to do nothing about it. If that is the case, this APC movement will have my vote...

Elueme: You are the most daft reterdeem I have seen on nairaland. You ought to discuss issues rather than resort to insults and aggressiveness. Are you angry that the hypocrisy of your benefactors are being exposed? Nigerians will soon know who they are just as the Nigerian Union of Journalists have just discovered that they have been holding briefs for wolves in sheep clothings.

Am sure the bold part of your statement is also discussing the issues

Billyonaire: 2015 is still far. One wonders why serving Governors leave their jobs to gallivant around the county just in the name of launching a new Party. Is it now a job of Governors to campaign and publicize the APC ? I think something is wrong somewhere, a party is supposed to have a working committee that goes on publicity and not pulling the Governors from their jobs, it goes a long way to show how unorganized this APC is, I cant trust my one vote in the hands of these people. 100% of them decamped from other parties cos of selfish interests, so I cant deal with people who are not predictable. Changing Parties like boxers, means changing manifestos like pants, it therefore means they dont stand for something, so whoever doesnt stand for something can fall for anything ? Should I trust my country in the hands of a people who fall for anything....Whhhhoooooosaaaaii.....Mbanu! This country belongs to Nigerians and we will always know that we will vote for the best candidate without sentiments. No one with Boko Haram lineage and sympathy should be voted for, no one with questionable source of wealth should be voted for. Your vote, is your choice. Use it wisely.

Your statement shows that your hypocrisy no get part two. When Mr. President is going about some states to solicit for votes for some PDP Governor during some re-run elections in some states, ur billyonaire brain does not deem it fit to say Mr. President and his gang in government are unorganized or they should have leave the job for the PDP working committee abi... Whatever u thinking.. APC is moving forward!!!

thelastPope:

Is this all you got? Is this your best shot?

What Fashola means by ill-conceived is the idea of the Federal ministry of information going about all states and showcasing state projects as if they are part of the transformation agenda of Mr. President. The good governance tour should showcase the Federal project and let us see what the FG is doing than wanting to claim glory for projects done by the State government and also expect each states to pay for such mendacity.

V

tayoTFC: @jt
Thanks I will do that but I might apply 2yr for myself and later apply for my family.

sir t... Hala me up.... Na wale brother be dis for ph

tayoTFC: @jt and vic
ok did ur first 6month visa is family visa or tourist visa? my question is since am i want to go to uk now with out invitiation from family member can i apply for 2yrs family visa or 2yrs tourist visa pls advise?

Sir T, Apply for 2yrs tourist visa and state that you have family in UK and also provide there details as done in your first application.

Vicjustice:
2 years visa is issued on necessity and not on sequences. So, unless if it is deemed necessary, it won't be appropriate for him to apply for a 2 years visa at this stage, long term visas are issued on the basis of necessity, for regular travellers who are constantly in need of visa renewal

Vic, I know the OP personally and apart from that, we both are issued our first time UK visa at the same time last year, while i have gone ahead to renew my to 2 years this January 2013, so me advising him is base on my personal knowledge of him which is similar to myself, that is why i said he should go for 2 years instead of renewing for another six month.
