Dear Nairalanders,
I have an issue that has been on my mind for weeks now. My fiancé and I have been dating for over three years. I love him and he loves me too. We are physically attracted to each other. We’re both catholic but since I graduated, during my service year I gave my life to Christ, got saved and left the Catholic Church. So I’ve been a Pentecostal Christian since then. He on the other hand is still catholic. I subtly try to nudge him to consider getting saved, i.e acknowledging Christ as lord and savior and becoming born again but he is content with his laidback Christian life.

Earlier this year, he asked to meet my parents and I let him. My parents like him especially because my younger sis is married and they have been waiting for me too. They’re glad I’ve someone. However, after the introduction,I regret it. I’m now certain that he’s not the one. I think about my spiritual life and how lukewarm he is about the things of God, I think about kids and how we’ll raise the, with such differing views about God and I’m discouraged. I feel like I’m settling because he checks all the boxes on the checklist of physical attributes. Another mistake I made is, I didn’t pray about this decision and that worries me because anything that involves him,I just act with pausing to ask God, but I always ask God about other aspects of my life. So it’s like my associating with him is a minus for my spiritual life and that’s a huge cause for concern.

At this point, I want to tell my parents I am not convinced it’s him but I’m afraid of the disappointment this will cause. *sigh* I’ll appreciate your thoughts, comments, criticisms...

Please help me tell the good man that wanted to marry you to please leave and forget you because you are still immature for marriage. Go and marry your god.

Where is the fare so we can justify this write up?

Did you read the number one point

post=102770324:
From beginning to the end of the write-up, nothing about the fare was mentioned.
And that is the main thing Nigerians are waiting to read.

What manner of Journalism!

Please read the number one on the article.

Let twitter deny it, if it they didn't approach Aso Rock...

The question actually is what is FG negotiating with Twitter. The headline is somehow

The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has defended Friday’s suspension of microblogging platform, Twitter, by the President Muhammadu Buhari regime, saying the decision was borne out of national interest.


“We are a democratic and independent nation. Citizens should defend our sovereignty by supporting the federal government’s Twitter suspension. It is in our national interest”, the party declared.

National Secretary of APC’s Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe disclosed this in a statement Saturday in Abuja.

APC in the statement also challenged talented Nigerians to use the opportunity to develop alternative and competitive Social Media applications that can rival Twitter and other Western-developed applications.

Part of the statement reads; “The All Progressives Congress APC urges Nigerians talented in the development of social media/software applications to seize the opportunity of the suspension of Twitter operations in the country to develop homegrown applications that can rival existing social media platforms and meet the needs of Nigerians.

“Russia has VKontakte (VK), China has Weibo, among several homegrown social media platforms. The APC believes that the country has the potentials and talents that can develop alternative and competitive applications to existing platforms in the world. Twitter’s suspension will undoubtedly serve as a positive trigger to unleash the creative potentials of Nigerians in the global digital space.

“This is a challenge to our vibrant youths with such talents. They will get support in the exercise from relevant federal government agencies as well as the numerous Information and Communication Technology ICT training and research establishments in the country.

“The recent announcement by the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy that Nigeria will soon start the production of smartphones and Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards for the African market is evidence that the country has what it takes to make a deep and strong foray into the global ICT industry.

The APC had earlier released a statement asking Twitter and other operators of social media pages to use their platforms to check divisive and inciting rhetoric, particularly in Nigeria. We tasked them on the important responsibilities to curb fake news, disinformation, hate speech, among others. Evidently, Twitter failed to do this and even allowed their platform to be used by arsonists, insurrectionists and separatists in the country”.

I saw this cleaner job vacancy at old English bakery at GRA,Ikeja,Lagos after months of job hunting.Due to unavailability of one's preferred kind of job,I like hotel jobs a lot,I decided to submit my CV to one of the bakery security man.

It is hard to get a hotel job at GRA Ikeja despite the big and many hotels located there though.Man know man things.

I was called to come for an interview at their head office in omole phase 1.

I attended the interview.But the salary is manageable being that I am a single man without even a girlfriend.Early 30's.But the resumption time was shocking.I would resume by 6.30am and closes by 10pm for #25k!

Which kind cleaning work be that?And the bakery is own by a Nigerian.No break or free lunch.

My mind told me there were other tasks I would be doing apart from cleaning because no cleaner would work till that time.

So has anyone who have worked there before knows the job description in old english bakery?

Any payment lesser than the minimum wage is not acceptable.

Don't be Suprised that Pastor Dare saw them Praying but due to the sweetness and Ambeiance of Heaven, He refused to come back.

I know of a Brother, who died in the Hospital. He died in the Lord. He was taken to Heaven .
Meanwhile Brethren came and were praying and praying and Praying. His wife also was crying!

The Lord Showed the Brother what was happening on Earth! He saw the Brethren praying on his body. He began to tell the Lord, No Lord! No Lord! I am not going back! Pls Lord! I don't want to go back! The Brethren continued praying and praying! HE was told He has to go back! HE kept on saying, No Lord! I don't want the Earth anymore.
He was finally told to go back. He saw himself heading back to his body in the hospital. He opened his eyes and the Brethren were screaming for Joy! The Brother was so angry and infuriated with them. He told them How he was sent back because of their prayers.

Don't be Suprised Pastor Dare saw Heaven and Refused to come back Here!

The Death of a Child of GOD is Glorious!
It is Majestical! It is indescribable!

Don't trade JESUS Christ for Anything!!

LOL

The regulations are there! Banks still have their initial 25BN deposit with the CBN, daily/monthly updates by the CBN are being carried out by the banks.

CBN dabbling into local banks politics is totally wrong, myopic and sends a strange negative signal!

What's this one saying

thebosstrevor1:


You are just using scope to comment.

Read the article on nairametrics, everything is stated there.

Like some one mentioned earlier you w....

thebosstrevor1:


Lol.

Banks have their own internal policies
Cbn has their own regulatory policies.

Really.

thebosstrevor1:


I can't believe you are a banker. How come you don't understand how banks works, internal policies and banking regulations.

Internal policies can't supercede regulatory guidelines never.

thebosstrevor1:


Lol..

The main reason for cbn disapproval is this.

Cbn approves 10 years for bank mds but first bank internal policies approves 6 years for their md.

The disagreement has nothing to do with loans.

Read for more information.

https://nairametrics.com/2021/04/29/cbn-first-bank-on-collision-course-over-removal-of-md-ceo/

If it's true that FBN has 6 yrs tenure they will be going against both FRCN law and CBN Prudential guidelines.

I believe your 6yrs info is not correct

thebosstrevor1:


Are you serious

I believe you don't know what you are talking about

Am a banker myself sir
Trust me I know

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Agric Financing (both short- term) will now attract provisioning of 25 per cent if such facilities fall between 90 days to one year; 50 per cent for one year to one and half years; 75 per cent for one and half years to two years and 100 per cent for facilities above two years.

domchike:

So what happens to the funds they invested in the bank

It has turned to bad debt sir.

That's how banking works. They use director fund to provisioning bad loans

thebosstrevor1:


Regulatory forbearance, A regulatory policy (i.e., a policy implemented by central banks and other regulatory authorities) that permits banks and financial institutions to continue operating even when their capital is fully depleted.

If you read on nairametrics, it wrote categorically that Fist bank ceo tenure is 6 years.

However, sources within the bank informed Nairametrics that First Bank has a maximum of 6 years tenure for its MDs in line with its succession plans. They also claimed the CBN is meddling in its internal affairs as the removal of the MD is in line with its succession plans and also does not exceed CBNs maximum of 10 years.

https://nairametrics.com/2021/04/29/cbn-first-bank-on-collision-course-over-removal-of-md-ceo/

You are correct.

CBN views the retirement has a forced one also CBN has been the one backing FBN for six good years (regulatory forbearance ).

Director fund has already been depleted so they wonder how FBN board took the decision to accept the resignation without prior notice to CBN.

People don't just wake up and say am retiring immediately.

thebosstrevor1:


The man was not removed, he retired from service.

Almost every executive directors of banks have shares of the banks they control.

Please just read the query sent earlier

Quote

"“We are particularly concerned because the action is coming at a time the CBN has provided various regulatory forbearances and liquidity support to reposition the bank, which has enhanced its asset quality, capital adequacy and liquidity ratios amongst other prudential indicators.

“It is also curious to observe that the sudden removal of the MD/CEO was done about eight months to the expiration of his second tenure which is due on Dec. 31, 2021,” he added.

Mustafa noted that the removal of a sitting MD/CEO of a systemically important bank was not good"


Please note the meaning of "regulatory forbearances"

domchike:

What if these men take out the investment

All of them no get investment again. Read CBN query to FBN

thebosstrevor1:


How does otudeko loan and the board relate?

2 different matters, if you have read further, it wrote that

On Wednesday, the Board of Directors of First Bank of Nigeria Limited said that it had appointed Gbenga Shobo as its Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Shobo’s appointment followed the news that the former MD/CEO, Dr Adesola Adeduntan, had retired.

But the CBN has now flagged that transition process and said it has no justification because Dr Adeduntan’s tenure has not yet run out, and there was no notification from First Bank to the CBN over the transition.

Did you read the query CBN issues earlier to FBN.

As at today the director no get shishi for FirstBank yet they were flexing muscle.

The MD that was removed still has till Dec for his tenure to elapsed.

I said it! We will have folks who will still defend this move.

First, all that global warming/sea level talk has nothing to do with Africa. The Most High has kept us safe all this while. It's propaganda aimed at world domination and control. Why would an individual attempt to change what everyone is benefitting from... Is he the Creator?

It is man who always attempts to disrupt the natural order and when things go bad they blame global warming. Besides, not every land is habitable, but man likes to conquer and live even on ice.

You're here in Africa, enjoying clean air, fresh water, etc due to the relatively low amount of industrial waste/ carbon emmisions. We still have large forest reserves to keep the air fresh and our climate tolerable and you're talking about geo-engineering?

Coming 2 America: Will Gompertz reviews sequel starring Eddie Murphy ★★☆☆☆

Will Gompertz
Arts editor
@WillGompertzBBCon Twitter


Coming 2 America isn't so much a Coming To America sequel, as a parody of the original film.

There are call-backs galore, cameos reprised, and a large chunk of the 1988 cast trying to recapture the old magic like a middle-aged boxer returning to the ring for one last payday.

It rarely works out well, and Coming 2 America doesn't buck the trend.

The self-mockery inherent in the project reaches metalevels in one scene in which two characters discuss the mercantile nature of the American movie business. They are particularly scornful of sequels, "if something is good why ruin it" they agree. The knowing irony appears to make the producers' position clear: this is a light-hearted homage to a classic film with all your favourite characters hamming it up Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again style.

Murphy and Arsenio Hall starred in Coming to America in 1988, which the screenwriter described as a "black fairytale, where black people were grand"


The only snag is…

The band might be back together but the high notes they hit all those years ago fall flat far too often in a film with a plot that largely follows the original, with the added twist of a generational shift.


Set 30 years after the last movie ended, we meet a portlier Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) who is still happily married to his princess from Queens, Lisa (Shari Headley) with whom he has had three sparky daughters (Murphy's real life daughter Bella plays middle child Omma).

Time might have moved on, but traditional, patriarchal Zamunda has not.

It matters not that the three girls can bring an army to a halt with their combat skills, or whose intelligence can outwit the most conniving enemy; their gender prohibits any one of them from ascending the throne.

And that's a big problem.

Coming 2 America, which Murphy said is "escapism, it's entertainment and everybody needs a good laugh"

Meeka (KiKi Layne) proves she's one gutsy daughter
Meeka (KiKi Layne) proves she's one gutsy daughter
Akeem's father, King Jaffe Joffer (James Earl Jones) is dying and wants to put his royal house in order before shuffling off.

He fears his pampered boy won't last a week as King before being overthrown by the machinegun-loving General Izzi (Wesley Snipes), who will seize the throne because Akeem has failed to have a son and heir.

image captionGeneral Izzi (Wesley Snipes) sees his daughter Bopoto (Teyana Taylor) as a useful tool
But…as luck would have it (a vital ingredient in fairy tales with awkward plot holes) Akeem does have a son!

Unbeknownst to him, he was drugged and taken advantage of by a feisty lady called Mary Junson (Leslie Jones) back in his bachelor days in New York. Akeem has no recollection of the encounter, but his old friend and personal assistant Semmi (Arsenio Hall) knows all about it for he was the naughty chap who set up the liaison.

Akeem and Semmi decide to return to Queens, NYC to find the boy and bring him back to a life of Riley as royalty.

But how will they pick him out in a crowd of millions in New York?

Once again, lady luck is on hand - this time in the grizzled shape of an elderly palace retainer who has drawn his "vision" of the young man. And so, the Prince and his trusty sidekick head back to America armed with wads of cash and a photofit drawing of Akeem's heir.

They arrive to discover much has changed; a realisation they find momentarily disconcerting. That's before Akeem spots the trusty old barber shop that is still run by the scissor-wielding, opinion-sharing, tall-tale-telling trio, which is good news for all as they are the best thing in the movie by some distance barring a cameo appearance from Gladys Knight singing Midnight Train to Zamunda.

The culture shock Akeem and Semmi experienced three decades ago is less acute and less amusing. Old scenes are rehashed with new jokes focussing on the changes that have taken place in society since their last visit. Gender reassignment, gentrification and taxi-hailing apps all get a mention in pay-offs that make you wince rather than laugh.

There are periods when the film rises above its laboured and predictable script to recapture some of the warmth and wit of the original, which itself was a fun film rather than a great movie. There's a subtle visual gag towards the end when a groom-to-be is seen wearing stone-washed jeans that hark back to those worn by Murphy in '88. That said, the only rah-rah skirts to be seen in this 80s nostalgia-fest were in the occasionally-inserted clips from the original film that act as a back story catch-up for newcomers, and a source of fond memories for old-timers.

Frankly, the best thing about Coming 2 America is the nudge it gives you to re-watch - or watch - the original, what with its glancing nod to Trading Places among the many nice touches sprinkled throughout.

The sequel is not bad, it's just not very good.

If you want to be gently amused for a couple of hours while playing spot-the-celebrity, you could do a lot worse.
