So the CBN governor successfully converted the CBN into a retail bank.

wonders never end

Indeed you have correctly identified the specie Nigeriannus Leecherous. Their only aim is to suck till there's nothing left.

VeryWickedMan:
OP what you have there is a Nigeriannus Leecherous commonly known as the Nigerian Woman. They are known to suck the life of their host dry and leave them for dead before moving onto their next prey.

Unfortunately for you, they have no known remedy.

Erm.... how do married people dress?

justFEARLESS:
Hello Guys

I moved to a new apartment early last month, and everything has been fine; a friendly environment, nice amenities and all, but I have only one problem. In our compound, there is a building in front with three and 2-bedroom flats in front of the building my apartment is behind, and it has two rooms and a parlour self-con.

The issue is that the window of my room is directly opposite the window of the bedroom of the people living in the 2-bedroom flat in the building in front. They get a little bit too excited during sex which is like every day and multiple times during the night: yesterday, I entered the house around 9:30 pm, and I noticed they were at it (This one, they didn't even close their window), They were already done before I slept off like 30 mins later, but they woke me up with their weird noise around 1, and it was on like that for like 1 hour, I managed to sleep, but they started again around 4.....

I don't know if they are married(because they don't wear rings or dress like married people), but they are young and live together; alone, but I can't bear this everyday wailing again. So what do you feel is right? If I tell the landlord to correct them, they will still know I am the one that reported because of the proximity of our apartment, and if I try to reason with the guy, it will be somehow awkward because we are yet to really start greeting ourselves sef.

For the record, I am married and blessed with a child, but my family lives in a different city. I moved here because of a program I am running. I will be spending at least 2 weeks here every month. Our landlord doesn't stay in the same compound but stays on the same street.

My worst fear came true.
My ex came crawling back after I started getting serious with another girl.
We broke up 7 months ago. We'd been together since uni. I'm 25, she's 23. She said she needed some space and wasn't sure we would work out long term. I tried to fight her on it for two weeks but eventually gave her the breakup and went ghost mode

First couple of months were rough but I applied myself at the gym and other things and when I was feeling better about my physique made a Bumble account just to gain some self-esteem back and also take my mind off her. Met this girl about 2 months ago and we've been fwb since then. We Bleep every week and recently we've been talking about making things serious. I confess I'm starting to become infatuated with this girl, and she's already head over heels for me.

The problem is that I still love my ex, way more than this new girl. She reached out today saying she regrets breaking up with me, she was depressed and got some therapy and realized I'm all she wants. She says she went on a few dates but "didn't have sex or even kiss any of them."

She said I could check her phone if I want to. Obviously she could have just deleted any proof but I'm inclined to believe her considering she was very prudish when we were together and also I was the one that disvirgined her

The problem is I don't know whether I stick to this new babe or accept my ex back

Bus driver that drove a bus full of kids in broad daylight? Are you okay?

fortunateme:
Autopsy first before any speculation.
Arrest the bus driver, and the nurse and the school teacher in duty on the said date.
But who really is the owner of this school?
Modified;
I suspect violent rape, or gang violence just like the substance given to that boy then.

The same redesigned naira that bandits did tiktok videos with?
lmao.

Ddokie:
It has actually

The truth is that the long term benefits of this naira redesign and cashless policy are enormous. It will reduce kidnapping, corruption, robbery and the volatility of exchange rates. Above all, it will significantly reduce vote buying not just in 2023 but going forward. Meaning that we stand a better chance of having good leaders.

If you are close to politicians, you would have noticed that it is already hitting them very very hard. The idea that the politicians will always be able to lay their hands on as much new notes as they want is a fallacy. Dem no get cash again. And it will get worse for them in as the election approaches.

However, I blame Meffy for the hardship the common man is facing. They should have printed loads of fifty naira notes and filled bank vaults with them. That would have greatly eased the cash crunch, without creating an opening for corrupt politicians to exercise their enterprise due to the quantity of 50s they would require for execution.

Be that as it may, if the Supreme Court is unable to stop the implementation (I earnestly pray so), Nigerians should hang in there for the next 3 weeks to a month when the elections must have been over, then cash would be more available.

I am sure it will all end in praise.



The politicians don't have it. Believe me if they did, they won't be running around the whole place.

As per the bandits, they may have sources in the bank who changed some notes for them. But that's where it ends. The setback they would have is the inability of victims to source the raw cash they need for ransome. With time, kidnapping wouldn't be as lucrative as it was, and many of those guys will start looking for alternative sources of livelihood.

Incisions? I'm thinking they should be inspected closely, I'm thinking there may have been an injury that had to be stitched.

Hmmmm. ... Nigerian Airforce Maritime patrol jet on routine flight to Ilorin .... really? From where?.... and purpose of flight? ... 8 persons on patrol in one aircraft? ... they should name them and say if they are military or civilians.
Jet lost its tyres ... jet landing gear failed ... which is it?

Patrol? With a citation cj3? And 6 Pax?

The story no straight abeg. Bring another lie

Lol. The fvcking country has been in a fuel scarcity for a whole year.

You dey pay money for "girlfriend"? Pele.

Lifeinbits:
Myself and my girlfriend have been dating for almost three years that she sometimes stays in my house too. I have always had the intention of traveling abroad but i don't know how, so last year my girlfriend brought the idea of traveling and how she wants to try US study route and I encouraged her to do so. I also supported her so much with my money by helping her to pay her application fee and TOEFL exam.

While doing all these, we had a conversation and she told me that if she is able to get a fully funded offer that we will be going together and I will be going with her as dependent. Now my girlfriend has gotten admission but she is yet to apply for visa and she has changed plans. She does not want me to go with her rather she is advising that I should also use the study route ifi want to travel.

Note : we had the intentions of getting married but right now she doesn't want us to get marry.

Jokers.

Basic infrastructure NEEDS to be put in place BEFORE you build policies on them.

You want to go cashless without a national backbone for communications? Without 24/7 power supply? How please?

The same fuel scarcity that has been going on since february 2022?

Where does he plan to find this unicorn of a card that'll charge at cbn rate?

Truth is that equipment will cost $600. It is pricey, simple.

abduleez1:
Following the arrival of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet, the likes of DSTV, Startimes and mobile networks like MTN, Glo including ISPs such as Spectranet, Swift, MainOne etc. will face serious disruption in their businesses.
The one most likely to suffer from this development is most likely DSTV.

For years Nigerians have been looking for alternatives for the cable provider who has the industry on chokehold with it's monopolistic tactics.
Cable will be the biggest hit by this development if Starlink prove to be reliable and better than current services.

The benefits of high speed unlimited internet means people will find streaming alternatives even free ones to watch their content, from movies, series, football, documentary, music videos, YouTube and social media all in one package.

What even makes Starlink viable is the sharing capacity and it's achievable speeds. It's said that you can connect up to 128 devices on it and has speeds of 50-200Mbps.
With this kind of setup, it means a whole compound or group of neighbors can invest in this and split the payment.
Of course, the initial payment for the hardware is much, but the subsequent subscription is reasonable for the price and quality.
It would be interesting to see reviews and user experience of the product in large numbers.
I initially thought the product would struggle in Nigeria or not scale enough above corporations but this recent realisation means Starlink is a very strong product and a market disruptor.


All in all, na DSTV I pity pass. They probably saw the light and rightly pivoted with Showmax. MTN, Glo and other mobile networks will adapt.

oh, I'm straight.

1Sharon:


No he didn't. Did yours?

The problem with nigeria is that the so called "culture" is just a mish mash of nonsense with inshalla vibes.
Where in yoruba land did they find paper money? If they really wanted tradition followed, cowries should have been requested. Nonsense.

Sonnobax15:
Today, a friend of mine invited me to the traditional marriage ceremony of his brother in-law......

After travelling for over 2hours via my keke, so we finally got to our destination.

After exchanging pleasantries, kola nuts and other traditional rites were done,then it was left for the main dowry which was #2000.
It was then the bigger problem came because the groom's family didn't come with cash. They insisted on doing transfer but the bride's family insisted on it, saying it must be paid with cash.

Omoh, the whole thing became funny . The bride's elder brother kept insisting on it until a POS attendant was invited into the situation.The dowry's money was later withdrawn and paid in cash.

Now, my question is, is it right to pay Bride price via transfer considering the new currency policy that's affecting everyone at this moment? Or the groom's family could have withdrawn the money and kept it until the D-day while it was crystal clear it could have expired due to the deadline of the naira swap?

Mods abeg make una shift this thread to the permanent site so that make other enlightened nairaladers for torchlight the matter small.

So your father encouraged to be a liability to a man?

When you have a son encourage him to be average, you hear?

Once you understand what you're dealing with, you can easily recognize what's possible and what's not.
You don't have 5$ 2G modems even in 2023, where do you want to get 5$ low-earth orbit receiver hardware from?

Nothing is impossible.

**Laffs in NCC**

I hear jail is nice around this time of the year. Good luck.

Minjim:
If it's unlimited. Nah to buy it and open a cyber cafe to sub-let or sell their data through wifi to people

Go confirm what services they pay for. Corporate dedicated internet is not the same as you glo mobile shared data plan.

martineverest:
275k for the device and 19k per month subscription....many companies will jump on it as it's far cheaper in the long run.

Some companies pay more than 100k per month for data subscription in Nigeria...compare that with 19k

Finally someone that understands the technology behind it!

bassdow:


Not possible for a number of reasons.

Issue be say, na people wey no understand how satellite technology works wey go Spend money doing Trial and error.

No matter how much you try, you can't get Cheap & FAST Satellite Internet. Satellite Internet has it's uses and it's advantages but it CAN NOT put it's competitors out of Business.

Lol. Your government regulated providers aren't doing that already? Remind me again how long Twitter was banned for in Nigeria? How about what happened during nationwide protests in 2020?

mach7:
Yes, but we need to be careful.

Starlink is an independent internet service, not under any visible control of government and hence cannot be shutdown or restricted.

If and when certain foreign subversive elements want to cause problems in Nigeria by propagating fake news and instigating violent uprisings, Starlink would be a veritable tool in the hands of such elements.

5$ satellite hardware? Good luck.

jackcanfield:
All I know is that Dr Mike Ade**ga had signed a contract with a french Satallite company, once Starlink starts to make inroad , Dr Mike would crash the price and make it mobile friendly. The Chinese would create a $5 hardware for him ..Elon Musk would just ko gba wole.

Why would any sensible entity wanting to surveil the poverty capital of the world do it by charging 600$ for hardware? When they can give you free Facebook and Twitter access without paying for a data subscription on a phone you already own?

Lmao

GBTYO:
Shakeup the internet market at $600 installation price and $43 per month subscription?

Elon got his shills here to divert from what the starlink is meant for which is total state surveillance and the incoming digital eNaira.

Nairaland is the worst forum filled with paid opinion crafting Shills.

Covid ,Chanji and the obidient should have made this clear

Lmao. And glo is immune to data breeches? Same glo that you had to link your NIN which is linked to your other registrations?

Or your location cannot be triangulated while on the network?

Dey play.

LittleBigDick:
Congrats on giving your personal details to a private corp which are not hard to get

Anybody can social engineer his way into Star link and find out where you live

I rather stick to my 3G Glo ( proudly supporting business of a Nigerian not a white billionaire)

Great.

pman06:


I haven't, still waiting to see if naira card was debited by someone else. If naira card works, I will be giving it a shot.

Not a government project

yashau:
President Buhari as try his best on infrastructure for Nigeria, meanwhile incoming President Bola Ahmed Okechukwu Tinubu will continue his good job come 2023😒👏

It's a satellite service. No, it won't pave way for cheap or affordable internet. Any space venture is many times more expensive than its terrestrial equivalent.

Lukgaf:
Similarly, starlink's availability in Nigeria brings hope for a more connected future, especially for students and those who have been limited by the high cost of internet access. I believe this will pave the way for affordable internet, making it possible for more individuals to have access to educational resources, including my Yorùbá mathematics classes. I'm looking forward to reaching a wider audience and sharing my knowledge with more students.
