Okay, that amount is insignificant to him. So paying the fine shouldn't be an issue to him. The main issue here is, will the US government be able to extract whatever information they need from his platform?
Yes they will and yes they have already gotten what they need through clandestine and other under handed ways before making the former request, in fact that is why they know what to ask for specifically.

The only issue they had is that of admissibility in a court of law, hence they are not coming through the front door to ‘officially’ ask.
Christianity EtcRe: He That Helps The Needy And Not Paying Tithe Will Soon Become Poor,’ Bishop Oyed by linearity: 2:54am On Aug 09, 2023
Most of the things Jesus didn't right weren't recorded. Only those with controversy made it mostly
If tithing was very important and critically essential for the kingdom Jesus would have done, so he leave an example for his disciples to follow.

They would also had been recorded in the Bible. Jesus did and demonstrated every single thing needed for us to emulate today that would secure our salvation but he never once tithed.

I think it is very safe to say, that if one emulate Jesus examples, the person would make it to heaven, don’t you think?
TravelRe: Can I Sell My House To Relocate 2 Canada At The Age Of 43 On A 5yr Tourist Visa? by linearity: 11:40pm On Aug 08, 2023
micellgevity:
A friend came to me yesterday, he wanted to sell his house to relocate to Canada. He is 42+ yrs. He is assured of a tourist visa that will cost him 1.8m excluding ticket.

He wants to know if it is worth it considering his age. Also he is afraid that if he sells his house in Ilorin (a new site) and the things go south what will happen.

Another thing he is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration. He wants to know whether he can truly work with a tourist visa of 5 yrs and whether his visa can be extended.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.
He is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration……and he is asking whether his visa can be extended? What is confusion.

FYI: there is nothing like assures anywhere, you can’t work with a tourist visa.

FamilyRe: I Can't Forgive My Late Mummy And My Daddy by linearity: 3:46pm On Aug 06, 2023
The problem with not forgiving is that, it affects you more and gradually kills you from inside or cause you to do something you will forever regret against your target.

Forgiveness is a medicine, it will heal you from all those hurts you passed through. It will bring you inner peace, it will unchain you so you can move forward, it declog your mental mind, emotions and drop those things that are weighing you down….take this medicine and see how you will start to heal.

Remember I said forgive and not forget. That stage is your life is a teaching period, it was learning period. You should never forget the life lessons, use those knowledge to guide your today and everyday life, use them to navigate your family life and how you bring up your children, remember them and put them to work for you.

The fact that Samsung makes quality screens for Apple for a fee does not mean that, they use those same quality high end screens on their phones.

A shoemaker does not necessarily wear the most expensive shoe they make, in many cases it is too expensive for them and they cannot afford it.
RomanceRe: Any Man Who Asks You 'what Can You Bring To The Table?' Does Not .......... by linearity: 2:13pm On Aug 04, 2023
Puss360:
Tell me Dat rubbish, then I'll walk away...

You don't have money and you want to date...
If it's only men that brings things to the table, then you as a man , marry another man so you both will bring things to the table....

Ndi ara....
Every purposeful and sensible men sensed your worth before approaching you, hence they left every other girls around and started to chase you.

If they approached you for sex or one night stand, that is their assessed value of what you can bring to the table.

For a guy to start getting serious with you to the point of wanting to wife you, they would have known your value and what you brings to the table.

However, for a man to ask you…” What do you bring to the table?” They have already checked out, that is a rhetorical question because they already know the answer and in their mind, the answer is ‘nothing or very insignificant’.

A man asking a lady ‘what do you bring to the table’ is a polite way of saying “You worth nothing to me, I don’t see you adding value to me and my future and I don’t want to be with you again”
RomanceRe: Is She Deceiving Me About Her Virginity Status? by linearity: 2:15pm On Aug 03, 2023
Honeybadgerxx:
Exactly what I'm thinking. But this girl swore with her life that she hasn't even kissed a guy before not to talk of sex, I guess she masturbates.

Now bro, what do you think, let's assume she hasn't been penetrated by anyone before and she lost her virginity to masturbation, should one go on with the wedding plans with such lady? Since the whole reason behind this virginity stuffs is to avoid fornication. I really don't care about her masturbating provided she will stop it after getting married, my problem is her having sex with someone else. Should I go on and marry her, I really love her and she loves me more than I do to her, she's respectful, she's beautiful, she's educated and sensible at least for a lady.

And I also want to know if masturbation is same thing with fornication?
Masturbation is the same thing as fornication because you can’t masturbate without lust and a guy some either in real world or in a video on your phone is the target of that lust and the Bible say he that lust after another have committed fornication.

So if your whole goal is to remain pious and reap some blessings from God, that is not going to happen plus the risk outweighs the benefit.

Do not underestimate the importance of sex in marriage, both of you have to be compatible. If she is masturbating now, she will masturbate when you guys get married. You would not be able to satisfy her as her masturbator plus she is now familiar with masturbation which will be a fall back place for her.

Do not go into marriage with blinders on, you were suppose to put the blinders on after the marriage but not before.

For starters both of should go and run many medical tests, eg STD, Genotype, fertility and someone mentioned virginity.

Many have taken this ‘no sex until marriage’ highway in the past and are regretting it today, don’t be a statistics, this is your life, be serious about it and don’t walk into it with blinders on.

By suing this woman in this way, May has revealed that there is no legality to the supposed marriage between Yul and the Judy. That is what this announcement has served to reveal to the social media[b] world. Yul is not a polygamist but an adulterer by law. Judy is just a sidechick and a baby mama for Yul. . That is what the revelation from this law suit to all Nigerians out there is. undecided
I corrected my earlier post, I met to have said, May can’t sue Yul for Adultery, adultery is not a crime in Nigeria.

She can only sue him for divorce with a cause, citing adultery.

She does not really need to sue him to reveal that Yul and May are not married, since their marriage is statutory, it means Yul is not legally married.

Even if they were married under customary law, May still had to ask for a divorce for her to be able to marry.

Nice one May Edochie.
She can’t sue him for committing adultery and that is not what this lawsuit is about.

He is suing for divorce and the cause she is pleading is adultery.

She is suing Judy for damages, having been the person who caused the breakdown of her marriage. If Judy can prove that, the marriage was already shacky, she walks without paying a dime.

jojothaiv:
The Embassy also wants to highlight that trade in forged documents by private individuals and corruption in connection with the issuing of documents by the authorities is very common in Nigeria. Available country information indicates that the possession of a Nigerian id-document, even certified ones, does not guarantee the correct identity of a person. Many businesses specialize in issuing forged documents, and it is neither difficult nor expensive to obtain, for example a forged driving licence or other documents that in turn can be used to obtain for example a passport or birth certificate. According to investigations, there is a particularly brisk trade in forged documents in Benin City in Edo state (Country of origin information report Nigeria, March 2021, p. 42)

The above is a damming remarks, look at the way our image is been battered down to the point of the basic form of ID. It's shameful though and this black-painting will not go away anytime soon.

I'm sorry for what the OP have passed through, it's a wake up call for us as a nation to do better, we keep blaming our leaders while the leaders get picked from us.


The leadership doing part one while the led will also do the rest. The leaders didn't fall from heaven.
Those are generalization and can’t be proven to be applicable to this applicant.

If those were their only findings, appealing this visa refusal would succeed.

Simply put, he did not provide any evidence to show his strong ties to Nigeria that would compel him to come back.

Keep dreaming and hoping!

Which ‘leadership in Nigeria’ will take step? Nigeria get leaders?

All we have are political jobmen & women who care only for themselves, their families and a few of their inner circle friends and those people don’t get Shege visa rejection, they are citizens and residents in the choice places in US, Canada and Europe.

So how will they do anything? The fact that you think your suffering, pains and difficulties means anything to them, make me to start suspecting your sanity or are you not in this same Nigeria, you don japa?

If you don japa, good for you and May God bless your husssle, but for the rest in Nigeria, na animal farm with no leader, all to themselves and for themselves.

From a friend though


Am the last born in my family and there are too many ups and downs and wahala in my family because it was a polygamous home and my father was one of the man I mistakenly ever met on earth and unlucky for me he is my father 😭😢
So how I wish I should start my life with my own fresh lineage from my wife and children. Like I don't want to be part of the father tree again.

I gave birth 3days ago and I don't want my son to bear my surname 🤔 I want my own name to be his surname so my father lineage will be cut off
☹️

Please is there any future implications in this decision?
Or rather something bad behind this decision??

Thanks 😌
You did not mistakenly met your father, good or bad there is a purpose for him to be your father.

Unfortunately, we erroneously believe that in life all our experiences, relationships and happenings must be positive, that is not God’s will and that is not the reality in life.

If everyone in the society is rich, no one will want to be a gateman for you, life would be boring as there would be no meaning and purpose to life.

If all our relationships in life are positive, we would be able to appreciate God and our efforts because we would not know the difference between negative and positive to realize how far we have come around.

Appreciate your father for the things his attitude has instill in you, the direction they have given you, the man they have made you, the challenges they have made you to pass through in other to refine you to be a better man.

Now you have made something of yourself inspite of the negativity from your father, never run away from that reality, let that knowledge forever continue to instill in you the will power not to be your father when you look directly into the mirror.

Changing names means nothing, yes you can give your child any surname of your choosing, but diamonds are found in rough, while not be determine to be the one to turn the negativity in that name to positive. It is far easy to cut and run, but difficult to take a stand and be the very change that you desire.
RomanceRe: How People Waste Love In Dating Before Marriage by linearity: 1:29pm On Jul 26, 2023

One of the killers of marriage is dating different wrong people before meeting the right partner. At this point, such a person may be so broken to the point that when the right partner comes, the feeling may be "adulterated" or "polluted" because of past hurts or frustrations.
You were so loving, caring and faithful to the wrong partners while dating, now you have the right partner and you are probably rude, watchful and careless..
Lessons: It is better to wait and marry the right person without dating, than dating several people before marrying.
How do you know he or she is the right person without dating first?

Label no dey follow good person. Some people especially ladies hides there real self until after marriage, meaning even if you guys dated you wouldn’t know their true identities.

BusinessRe: CBN Raises Interest Rate To 18.75% by linearity:
HORLADY:
Before making any comment, it will be nice to know the relationship between Interest Rate, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate
Inflation rate is the general rise in prices of goods and services. One of the major driver is surplus money or easy access to money, which increases demands for these goods and services thereby increasing their pricing aka inflation.

Though increased inflation is bad, but one good aspect of it is, in a good economy; it increase labor participation in that, more people would be attracted by the increased prices to be entrepreneurs and start providing goods & services.

To curb inflation through cutting access to easy money, Central Banks usually increase interest rates, the goal is this would discourage borrowing and help in reducing easy money in the economy. The drawback here is, in a corrupt economy where trillions are stashed away by individuals outside the Central Bank Control, increase interest rate would attract more quack lenders into the economy who want to make quick returns by borrowing money at attractive rates to desperate individuals & businesses in the economy, therefore sometimes the intended benefits of increased rates are muted because of the inflow of easy money from outside the Central Bank system.

Increased interest rate would directly increase the foreign exchange rate of that currency against other currencies thereby reducing the exchange value of that currency. The reason being that money investors would like to keep and store overnight the currency with increased interest because they get paid higher overnight interest against the pair with the lower interest rate.

Because more people are now attracted to the currency with the higher interest rate, demand for that currency increases as supply reduces aka no one wants to part with them easily unless you pay them more for it, this therefore increases the power of this currency against its foreign counterparts.

If interest rates are increased, it also negatively affects exports out of that economy as foreigners would now have to pay more to get that currency in other to pay local producers in that economy. This may discourage foreign investments and exports as exporters would start shopping around other countries to see where they can get more value for their money.

It is the responsibility of the Central banks to monitor these interwoven dynamics and maintain a balance otherwise they can drive the economy into the ground if they get it wrong or react too quickly or too late.

The truth is that, as a business owner even if you did not make any profit in a year, your balance sheet cannot be zero.

You incurred expenses despite not making any profit, so you get to deduct those expenses and report negative income flow for tax purposes for that year.

The good thing about this is, you can carry these negative income flow from year to year and use them to upset your taxes or profit for the year you actually made positive income flow….it is a win win.

And no punishment was prescribed for anyone whose name is not in party register.
Also, I think this is also one of the ‘internal party matters’ that the Supreme Court has always ruled in favor of that party against external parties or individuals.

Same as the double nomination of the VP which though against the law but an internal matter.
