Travel / Re: Relocating by Localordinary: 10:45pm On May 30, 2022
Relocating to Ghana meaning you got a job or starting up a business? For you to apply for any visa at any embassy here in Ghana you must be living here legally. Life in Ghana is 4 times more expensive as compared to Nigeria. As of today 30th May 2022, 1litre of fuel is sold at 9.5cedis which is almost 800naira per litre. Houses are very very expensive to rent as well. To do your residence permit, you must be ready to cough out hundreds of thousands of naira with a valid employers document. Think about it before you japa to this place. I come in peace


Henrycube:
Please folks am planning to relocate to Ghana pending the time i will later cross to Europe. What are the things I need to put in place and also can any one tell me about life in Ghana? Thanks

DOLLAR TO NAIRA EXCHANGE RATESBlack Market: Dollar Hits N611 To Naira At Parallel MarketPublished on 22 May 2022 at 11:10 AMBy George Oshogwe Ogbolu
Kindly share this story:
Dollar To Naira Exchange Rate Today 25 November 2021 (Black Market Rate)


The Nigerian currency (naira) now exchanges at N611 to the dollar at the parallel market, popularly known as the black market.


Naija News reports that the naira’s official rate stands at 419.02 at the Investors and Exporters window, after several dips on Friday.

But the Nigerian currency has dropped massively at the parallel market to 611 for the first time in the country’s history.

According to Naija News Forex and source at the black market, a dollar is sold at N611 on Sunday morning.




Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has denied plans to phase out the circulation of the lower denomination of the naira notes.

Osita Nwanisobi, director, corporate communication, CBN, said this on Saturday in a telephone conversation with TheCable.

Nwanisobi said: “The CBN is not phasing out anything.”

The Delta State Branch Controller of CBN, Godwin Okafor, while urging market men and women to sign into the e-Naira, had called on traders to key into the central bank’s e-Naira policy.

He said, “We are here at the market today to sensitise the market people on the use of e-Naira. It is fully backed by CBN, unlike Bitcoin which has no legal backing.”

Also speaking, Dr Aminu Bizi, a consultant of CBN on e-Naira, said Delta was chosen as the second state to sensitise market women on e-Naira after Lagos.

“We are here to sensitise market men and women, shop to shop on the use of e-Naira. CBN has gone behind ATM, POS, therefore, we are going to meet the Okada/tricycle union on this policy.

Crime / Re: How I Was Assaulted By An Army Officer by Localordinary: 5:47pm On May 21, 2022
Go on twitter, get the video on your phone, tag the Nigerian army, human rights of Nigeria, Nigerian police force,Mr macaroni,rinu oduala, then upload the video and state what happened at your shop. This would be addressed in less than 24hrs. You will thank me later



quote author=l3st3r post=113023839]Good day. I own a betking shop. I also run a POS service in the shop. One day a customer came that he wants to play virtual sports bet. He asked to use the POS cos he doesn't have any money on him. I tried his card and it was saying "insufficient funds". He says he has money in the card and I should try it again.

Meanwhile I saw he was attempting to still play the bet. I told him he should wait let's resolve the withdrawal before he plays his bet. He went ahead and play a bet of #1000. I became angry and asked him if I didn't ask him not to play that bet until we resolve his withdrawal. I asked him how he intend paying for the bet now. He says I should use his atm. I told him his atm card is still showing insufficient fund. He said why am I shouting at him if I know who he is.

I asked who are you? na you open shop for me. The whole thing broke into a shouting bout. Luckily his game won. I deducted my #1000 and asked him to leave that he won't be allowed to play game here anymore as he is a troublesome person.

He says he is going to play and if I know who he is. We got into more shouting bout again. He finally left and says he would be coming back.

He came back today one month later wearing an army uniform with two of his other colleagues. He started hitting me with belt. Says I should do frog jump and other nonsensical punishment. People around later heard the noise. They started begging. When they asked me what the problem is before I try to explain, they would hit me with the belt that I should shut up. When they are satisfied they finally left.

I checked for the name tag on his uniform but he has removed it. His other two colleague are putting on muftty. I do have a CCTV camera in my shop which they are not aware, so everything is on video.

Please, how do I proceed with this case and get justice, pls don't say police cos I took an issue to the police the other time when money was stolen in my shop. Even with video evidence nothing was done. They tasked me anyhow. One naira no come out..

I know this is not the right section for this just want somewhere with a bit of traffic. Mods pls move this to the frontpage so I can get a range of advice.[/quote]

How old is your girlfriend? How much has she sent so far since you guys started dating? I wanted to confirm something


Znation:
It's a blark sunday nairalanders.

I was watching Evaton vs Chelsea match when my negbour called me that my girlfriend mum came to our compound with police, that i should'nt return home for today.

I knew it, that this girl will definately put me in trouble somday, but i could'nt resist the temptation.

She has been given me money and lot of things from her mum shop.

last week, i recieved the sum of N250,000K to my bank account with her name as the depositor, i called her and she told me i shouldn't fear that she was the one who sent it.

I ask her why and she said i should help her to save it. I've already spent N40K from the money which she was aware of.

I'm now getting imformation that her mum gave her money to deposit to their accout, but she instead sent it to me and said she lost the money. Is like she finally told her the truth that she sent me the money, and i don't kno if she told them she has been given me money before.

I don't kno what i will do, my landlord is callin but i don't want to pick.

Away from the traditional recurring post of "how much was your first salary", let's go a bit unusual this time around. Most people are comfortable stating the low salary they received at the early stage of their career, I hope they will replicate same now.
The big question : "How much is your current salary?" and in case you are self employed, how much was most recent salary? Let's go.
Mine is 150k. Still managing and hoping for something better

I think u are mentally unstable. Just look at all your post. Re u mad or something

NovesaTillie:
Please I need only matured minds on this.
It's a serious matter.

My elder sister and her husband were married for 5 years and separated November last year but not divorced yet, though the families have been trying to reconcile them to come back together but my sister's husband has been adamant about it.

I noticed that ever since his separation from my sister he started visiting my place and now it has become frequent. I allowed it because I see him as a brother but now I am starting to really enjoy his company. He has been helping me out with stuffs and still maintains his kindness towards my parents.

He proposed marriage to me yesterday and I have been confused. I will be 30 by February 2nd.
Should I accept his proposal?

Re u going to be given residence permit? Living outside your country of origin can be 3 times more expensive than your country of origin. Note that you must learn French to survive, you must also live there legally if you want to work there stay there

Ogt1:
Good day Nlers?

I have a teaching job which pays 30k monthly for now. I am not paying for an accommodation as I have a free accommodation presently.

I got a contact who connected me to a proprietor in cote d'ivoire who needs teachers. He said the pay will be 90,000cfa monthly. He offers to allow me stay in the school residence for a period of 6 months till I find my own residence.

I want to know if 90kcfa will be enough to live comfortably in cote d'ivoire after paying for house rent which I inquired is paid monthly and can be as high as 30k-50cfa monthly.

Will this be a better move than the 30k job I have presently?

How much is 90kcfa in naira?


Kindly advise.

Thanks.

Drama queen...where do u even meet these guys from?? U just have sex randomly without research Are u OK?

NovesaTillie:
Good morning and merry Christmas everyone.

Please I'm in dilemma and really need some good advice.
This guy and I have been on this relationship thing for 5 months now with occasional misunderstandings here and there. The first one was because he visited me and refused to go after the time he said he would leave, when he finally left I got back home from work only for the security to call me that I have a visitor at the main gate and behold it was him.
I allowed him stay the night because he's a nice guy, really good in bed and also helps in the house to do stuff like wash the dishes and cooking.

Fast forward to December 15th we agreed he comes over and we spend the Christmas at my place then go to his place from 27th so we can enjoy the new year there. As we agreed, he came to my place on 17th of December and has not made any moves to leave or for us to go to his place. I am moved to create this thread because I got home from work yesterday and noticed more of his things have been arranged in the wardrobe with his shoes arranged by the front door..

Please how do I address this? I can't go on like this. He eats a lot. Snores also.
Is relationship not supposed to be the other way around why is he moving into my apartment like I'm going to marry him
We both stay in Abuja.

Mods please kindly move to Frontpage.

Crime / Re: She Was Deceived Into Prostitution Abroad. by Localordinary: 3:40pm On Nov 04, 2021
Ask her to go to the Nigerian embassy and tell them that her passport was stolen and that she needed to arrive back to naija. She can as well to the ministry of foreign affairs of UAE,trust me, they will track those people down. Its crazy how some people thinks travelling abroad is by mouth. Nigerians in diaspora should stop spoiling our names here in Abroad. Na beg we dey beg una



Kaynnedy:
Good afternoon House.

Someone told my sister that there was a connection for a sales rep. Job in UAE, since she's yet to get a job after her NYSC, (you know how tough Nigeria is now. But it will require her to pay some money for her visa, flight ticket and other necessary documents, but my sister told her that she currently don't have money to process any international papers.

After much discussion this lady told my sister not to worry that all documentations including flight ticket will be paid for her but on a commission fee when she arrived her destination and upon resuming work in UAE, a percentage of her salary will be remitted to them until she pays up the debt incurred.

This was two months ago precisely August. Now fast forward to yesterday 3rd November 2021, I got a WhatsApp message from my sister telling me that she was being forced into prostitution upon arriving and not the sales job as was agreed.

I told her to find a way to come back to Nigeria since she has a return ticket that will expire in 4 days time valid till 8th November 2021.

Now the issue is:
1. Her Boss, as she called her earlier took her passport upon arrival in the pretense that she may misplace it or it may get stolen.

2. Her boss insisted on her paying all the debt incurred in processing her peppers which is 125% extra on what she spent in bringing her to Dubai, which amounts to N3.5 million Naira.

Please is there a way she can return back without her international passport since she went there legally and her return ticket is still valid.

Please we need help as during this altercation since yesterday, I cannot communicate with her as her Boss has seized her phone. It's now a matter of life and death.

MaggiStar:
Hi guys, please I need advise on if I should take the step or not.

We all know the difficulties we are facing in this country, the country is not helping the youth with vision to grow. Expecially, we into entrepreneurship.

I have it in mind to relocate to Ghana to start life, I'm just tired of this country.

Please if you are a Nigerian and living in Ghana please let me know how life is over there. I own a business, and it's 100% online, but the amount I spend on petrol daily is nothing to write home about.

Please let me know if relocating to Ghana is a good idea, let me know the country's economy, electricity and accomodations rates there

Thanks!
