Abeg which phone is that.

5000 and can do transfer?

TECNO. I wish I could snap it for you to see. All I need is network on the phone, then I will dial *894*amount*AcctNum#,
then, bank option will appear- choose the receiving bank
then the person's name will come;
enter your 5 digits pin- pronto- you're done

general111:
that's what I am trying to say sir.until shekau and the sponsors of BH are caught, everything you are reading is propaganda.

You see bro, let go into the capture of BH sponsors, we may never get there. Even if we are to go after that, let's first of all dislodged their foot soldiers where ever they may be, including Sambisa, hence the need to intensify effort in capturing Sambisa, which the Government have done. Now, that's that!

As for the capture of Shekau, I think the same thing applies. It's one step at a time. Now that they have been dislodged, we don't know what their plan is though, as we're not let into it, they may be on the hunt of him.

By the way, I quite understand your pessimism about this government. And I also can not give it to them as regards information management right from their inception, and this is the reason they seem to have lost credibility in terms of giving out information.

general111:
first answer this simple question.
If sambisa has fallen,where is shekau?
Pls don't tell me he is dead...

So, Shekau will be there waiting for him to be captured, hun? Or you think Sambisa was just taken over in one second without any resistance. You see what I said about you? Sorry, this discussion is beyond your comprehension.

PatriotTemidayo:
I thought you're matured but its obvious you lack sense of respect for people's opinions. Firstly guy, I must not think like you or share your sentiment, secondly, my question is ARE WE REALLY BEEN TOLD THE TRUTH TIS TIME, lastly, tongue-lashing my govt is my duty cuz I have the right to question their actions and demanding for the truth is not an offence. In the light of these, please get the hell out of my lane, hypocrite.

I still doubt your sincerety, that's just what I'm concerned about, because I noticed that your likes hardly have genuine concern to see this administration succeed. Your wish and prayer is that the administration should fail so that you can say "didn't we tell you...?" Forgetting that we'll all surfer it at the end.

You see, I've observed forums like this offshore, but men, the discussion is out of this World, not to just run their government down. Unlike people here...

general111:
In summary, gej was suppose to defeat BH,but due to sabotage from top generals in the Nigerian army,not wanting an infidel to be credited with the glory of defeating BH.
I don't know where this news is coming from,but it is believable,because many who actually fought bh complained of extreme sabotages.
This is Nigeria,where politicians play politics with the lives of Nigerians.

After, it is people like you that'll be complaining of graduate unemployment because you fail to use your brain, that's the reason employment will continue to delude you. So, you can't use your brain and ask yourself simple question: how can you claim that the fall of sambisa forest is a lie and claim the victory? You need to use your head son, use your head.

PatriotTemidayo:
Ofcourse bros, it is of general good that the military is winning this war, but what called for question is the repeated Sing-song of severally defeating boko haram, only for them to surface and the govt of the day changes their narratives and lies.
We want this war to end, souls are lost but it cannot be won If we are not true to ourselves.
We cannot afford to hide behind a finger or play the ostrich.
Truth liberates a nation, deceit is a reproach.

I only hope and wish that this your concern is born out of sincere and genuine concern of seeing the country winning the war against BH. What I see is your usual desperation to tongue lashing this administration. We know your type, but God pass huna.

nefertitiram:
I dont understand what the op is yapping about. I've blown all my money this period even though I didn't use any ATM or have any cash.
I did Xmas hair, PD with pos
I did shopping for Xmas cooking at shoprite, used pos
I sent money to momsie, used online transfer
Paid for my brothers airline tkt, quicketeller
Bought recharge card, mobile money
Bought a few gifts on konga, used their payment platform
Bought spa coupons on dealdey, used their payment platform
Transferred the balance to savings, online transfer

December salary yaff finish. And who said govt is not allowing me to access my funds? Op, bring ur money let me help you spend it online. I want to even buy a few things on Ali express, free shipping.

Bought a bicycle for my son at Westminster, did a transfer, using *894*amount*account_number#
Transferred money to my mummy, ditto
Transferred money to my late uncle's wife, ditto
And so on...

Some comemtators on this forum can be so annoying. I spent over forty thousand naira yesterday, using my five thousand naira techno phone to do transfer to MARKET WOMEN AT WESTMINSTER ,in Apapa, this are market women o!, Not a shopping mall! Yet someone is crying that Govt is preventing people from spending their money. You get time to be gratfyin them with a response

However, I think they, government and the banks, need to do something about the charges- N105- that's too much a charge for a policy that is trying to encourage us to use cashless policy. If I had all the charges to my purchase, it will be about, if not more than, a thousand naira. I mean, that's too much. There's even suppose to be an incentive, like a bonus, for those who use the service, but what you have is an exhobiitant charge of that magnitude- it's too much.

1wolex85:
Oga you need to calm down. Nobody is preventing anybody from having access to their money
Yes there is shortage of physical cash, people should use other channels, if you take your atm to a shop and pay via atm or you transfer money, it will still go. So it is wrong to say people are being denied access to their money
CBN has focused so much on the Dollar issue this year that they have not expanded on their cashless policy. That is the real issue.

I posted this on an earlier thread,
What CBN needs to do is deepen the implementation of Mobile Money. In Kenya, once I have your phone number, I can transfer money to you. This also saves a lot of money in printing cash. Another option is to take advantage of cash based businesses and use them as mobile money agents. For example, I should be able to walk into a Petrol station or supermarket, deposit money in their account through their POS and they give me the cash equivalent. It will help this businesses reduce their cash calls and bank trips.

Is this the change we stood under scorching hot sun to vote for

All in the name of wanting likes from your fellow dumbass you have to spew this rubbish. Were we better off before? Ours was a country of profligacy under fortunato, the ineffectual buffoon, before now. Thank God he didn't return, una for hear winn

ajbf:
I am sorry to say, it seems as if President Buhari is an economy terrorist to Nigeria.
Can you imagine, 1.7 millions lost their legitimate jobs in just nine months and not to talk about those that lost their jobs between June - December, 2015.
If we talk now, some useless blind supporters of the biggest scam administration will be talking of 10,000 police jobs and 200,000 palliative jobs (N-power).
They promised to create jobs but rather they are destroying legitimate jobs.
At the moment, President BUHARI is they greatest threat against our survival and sovereignty as a nation.
As it is now, for every 10,000 jobs create by this Buhari administration, there are lost of 100,000 legitimate jobs elsewhere. It seems that Buhari administration is cursed.

With this kind of thinking, and the kind of comments one is reading here, it surely shows that some people deserved to loose their job. Sorry to say.

CandyDiamond:
Democracy is dead in Nigeria now,people don't protest because they will be killed by army,during GEJ time,the masses protest freely.Military regime is what APC led Buhari is practicing in Nigeria, but it will back fire.
Time will tell.

As if the Army didn't clamp down, shot and killed people during the ojota protest. Keep deceiving yourself.

This is the change that was voted for.

"Man's Actions are too strong for him,show me a man who has acted and has not become a victim and slave of his own Action"...RALPH WALDO EMERSON

You people just lack any iota of sense of reasoning. Your usual singsong, "the change we voted for" as if we have been living in heaven on earth before now. Have you asked yourself how we got here, did you not read where it was stated that "the plunge in oil prices in the global market led us into recession?" I know your hatred for PMB won't make you see that.

Sergio "extra time" Ramos...

Na only you sabi watch football, all others shouting Messi,. Ronaldo and co are just following the headline. Very surprised that Ramos was mentioned way into the second page, and with only one like.

hotice01:
Sometimes I wonder if our leaders really get to think!
The 2017 budget is already a budget of failure by all predominant indices.
Planning budget based on loots to be recovered and even the recovered ones not duly accounted for.Also hoping on fines imposed on companies?This government is a huge joke!
These actions will be counter productive on so many levels!
If you have insight you will understand my above statement.
All we need now is a proactive government and good governance.

You are not in Government, so you don't know how they operate. You see, we sometimes criticize wrongly and blindly because we don't know what's going on within.

pinkcottoncandy:
why are Nigerians against borrowing?

UK has a population of 70 million and they owe over 1Trillion dollars.

Our Government should be able to borrow ....UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

1) Borrow money to build 4 regional refineries. This will eliminate the fx losses from oil export/import saga. We will not need to export any oil but to use our oil here in Nigeria and sell any excess to neighbouring african countries. Masses will be able to enjoy little crumbs from the national cake ...as price of fuel will reduce to maybe 20 naira per littre....our currency will stabilise ....ohhh and appreciate....

2) Borrow to fix our NEPA electricity issues so that the common man can enjoy life, local business can grow and industries can strive, inviting foreign investment to build factories regionally so that youths can get employed.


THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 ISSUES THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FIRST BORROW MONEY FOR. AND NOTHING ELSE UNTIL THESE 2 ARE ACCOMPLISHED....

It does not matter if the amount borrowed is 200 billion dollars

Imagine our annual budget for 200 million people( no need to deceive ourselves..we are more that 200 million in number)....

A tiny budget for a lot of people. considering the purchasing power parity is not in our favour.....Goods are more expensive in Nigeria that other countries how are we expected to develop...how is our GDP supposed to increase...

I dont understand who advises our leaders....a bunch of IDJIOTS. Why can they not get leading professors globally to form thinktanks to advise on our different policies before they are implemented?

A person who does not realise he has body odour...how will he know that he needs to buy a good rollon;....The same way a government who does not understand the dynamics that drive and economy, how can they know how to create policies to fix the economic mess Nigeria is in?

YOUTHS YOU MUST RAISE YOUR VOICES-----WE NEED GLOBAL THINKTANKS TO ADVISE OUR GOVERNMENT AND NOT FAT BELLIED FOOOLLLSS THAT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS.

AS FOR THE STUPIDITY OF OUR CBN.....NO COMMENT!!!

In as much as I didn't quite agree with your post in its entirety, the point I want to make is that of the first few commentators, you're the only one that made sense and yet you had just one 'like'. This tells you how shallow minded the youths of today are; they are bereaved of logical reasoning. Very unfortunate.

Yes, I was going to say that. And I think LASG needs to do something about those boys at Yaba. They are a menace

nothing person no go see ! why is Aminu wearing canvas shoes on Nigerian native dress.

It was the cold weather that is making him to dress that way. Now, you slowpoke, and your co-travellers, ought to have thought in that direction before making this silly comment

cktheluckyman:
What exactly did justice Ngwuta steal and whom did he steal from? Its like you people just swallow whatever you read online without reasoning!!!! What exactly is wrong in a supreme court judge having N27m or owning 3 cars? How many cars or millions does an ordinary state legislator have?

Perhaps you need to be reminded that what we read is minutes of what happens in the open court, so it is not ear say. You need to check your reasoning.

timawoku:
There were many things we grew up doing as teens in the 80's that does not happen anymore, here is my top 15

1) Bouncing: as a young gee bouncing is a must to do (whoever gave it that name?), it involves you walking in a 'swagly' manner in such a way to depict big boy. It took years before I stopped (only God knows how) but it was a serious swag then, and was for only boys. Now people just prefer sagging...

2) Hanging Towel: as a 'big boy' then you needed a medium sized bathroom towel hung around your shoulders. You fold your arm and tilt your body towards the side which the towel is hung, you end up looking like a person under a spell but it didn't matter, you are just demanding some respect from the hood...

3)Lumberjack: Czech is the name of the game, you were not known as a true hommy if you did not represent with a 'lumber', I rocked the red and black most!

4)Santos: remember that cowboy shoes that had a revolving spikes at the back? Only the dopest big boys had it then and it still get me sprawling each time I catch a glimpse of it, somehow, it's gone into the oblivion...

5)Bikes: there was minimum access to rides then so we had to set our sights low...if you had a BMX or a CHOPPER then you were made of gold...you needed this to 'soil your roots' to the ladies in tha hood...now if you brandish a bike then you are a whimp...

6)Fezcap and Walkman: this pair went hand in hand...having a Walkman was a great privilege, topping up ur head with a nice colourful fezcap would have ladies drooling for you... who wears fezcap anymore? And least I forget; Walkman has 'walked' man!

7)Cassette : everybody have a 'must have' cassette at home. Mine was predator, commando, drunken master, terminator, etc... almost all homes had these and yes, you had to brandish right beside the Tv...

8 Satellite Dish: this was only for the top dawgs, if you got one of these, you are a very rich man's son...if you had none, then the one proxy would be used as a landmark... some (like me) would even go far as saying ' when you get to that house with satellite, ask for me I will come out... before then I would have padied with the house owners sha o...

9) Lyrics magazine: it was necessary for you to know your lyrics so as to boast about being informed and exposed...you could give a line or two when you notice the opposite sex, it was like a little intro depicting that you are a gee... so you end up buying a lot of lyrics mag. I suffered from 'hip hop world' people hand ehn, it took me a long while before i actually know it was not 'who shat who nat', we suffered o, now you just simply go online

10) Stories that touches: it was a trend then to buy story magazines, examples are Hints, hearts, etc...only God knows where they are now, my elder sister's room was literally their store room...now who get the time? Just login to nairaland or lib you will see a lot of stories

11) Porn Magazine: it was a must have, you sometimes pop one in your school bag and use it to form a gee for dem gals (at least I know I did that), now people just go online, no time...

12) Comics: I was a comic book fan, I still have like 50 somewhere in my dad's house... we loved reading comics then and some how, we spent almost all our savings on them.

13) Love poems: there was nothing like text messaging so if you meet a gal you like, u write her a poem and slip it into her hands or her bag, u then wait endlessly for reply...it was exhausting especially if the reply came back negative...no be small something o. But now you can whatsapp, txt, etc...

14) Phone: phone was a luxury back then and you could count houses that had them, luckily, mine had but was always locked in my dad's room, when it rang and my friends happen to be in the house, I felt like an oyinbo man living oyinbo life...lol

15)'kitting': whatever happened to our kites? This younger generations dey miss o...kite was a favorite sport then, it was like being a pilot temporarily, people prefer browsing now, to kites

I think this is my best post in recent times. As for that towel thing, omo my aunty thought I was running mad. We call it "home boy". If you don't do any of these things mentioned by the OP, you aren't an home boy.

You didn't mention songs like "OPP", Kriss-Kross, Boys2Men. Men...!!! those were nice days gone bye

DamiBukola:
Can you argue strictly on what the law says whether she is guilty or not and stop this shenanigans.

Please I am waiting to read your legal opinion and not some shameless ranting of corruption. I think it's time we talk like educated people.

For me, I'm not saying she's guilty like some people are saying here, but I'm just trying to show her illogicality in the whole processe right from the on-set:

1. He averred that the account mandate forms were duly completed and signed by her (i.e. Mrs Jonathan).

2. According to him, Mrs. Jonathan subsequently discovered that apart from one of the accounts that bore her name, the other four accounts were opened in the name of four companies which were companies belonging to Dudafa.

3. He said she also observed that the ATM cards of the said accounts were issued in the names of the companies, adding that she complained to Dudafa, who promised to effect the necessary changes.

4. He said Dipo Oshodi also promised to effect the necessary changes.

Mr. Somiari averred that Mrs. Jonathan is not a director, shareholder or participant in these companies and the funds in the said accounts were solely owned and operated by her and “Dudafa does not own any part of the funds in the said accounts.”

5. According to the deponent, t[b]he Skye Bank official (Mr. Oshodi) did not effect the instructions of the plaintiff to change the name of the said accounts to her name, in spite of repeated request[/b].

He stated that notwithstanding the refusal of the bank to effect the necessary changes, she had been using the said ATM cards without any interference

All these by the wife of a sitting President (as she was then...?) Who's that Bank official that will not carry out the President's wife instruction with immediate alacrity.

ceeethru:
You can see your stupidity has no boundary. what has been your own contribution on the subject matter? Castigating me? my friend park-well.

I need to first of all whip into line. At least, let that stick into that your fucking head. Even after being admonished, your stupid self could not yet correct yourself and contribute meaningfully, you are still grand standing. Ode ni e!

Talking about my own contribution. I'm following the debate, and I think the idea is a welcome development. I just hope JAMB, like the FG did sometimes in 2013 or thereabout, will not jump into the implementation of the idea while the debate is still on going.

ceeethru:
Finish off everything so that with NEPA bill we can gain admission to study law and medicine! Nonsense country!

I really don't like castigating people on social media, its not in my habit, but as much as I try not to, I can resist the temptation.

You see my friend, I bet, perhaps, you didn't read the part where it was said that it is open to national debate. Instead of you to bring your own contribution, as regards the propriety or otherwise of the idea, you are here castigating. Yet, mofos like you complain of not having a job. Is this the type of contribution you want to contribute at project meetings? Idiot

fellis:
Why don't these people just build factories and industries instead to create jobs for youth? What purpose is this hotel serving towards making Nigeria a better country?

Young man, that's also an industry, tourist industry, which will also employ loads of young people like you and I. It does not necessary to be factory all the time. If you check Dubai for instance, they have loads and loads of world class hotels like this one, where people from all over the world came to spend their money and improve the economy.

UIvents:
Both of them claimed using the 50:50 method i.e 50% for O'level and 50% for UTME. Now, let's see which looks more favourable.


For UI, it goes thus:
O'LEVEL
A1; 6 points,
B2; 5 points,
B3; 4 points,
C4; 3 points,
C5; 2 points and
C6; 1 point.
Then, you'll calculate the total points for your 5 jamb combinations in your used O'level result and divide it by 30, then multiply it by 50 i.e 5 subjects/30*50.

JAMB
After that, you'll divide your jamb score by 8.

RESULT
Add the two results you got above i.e for O'level and Jamb together. The result is your weighted score. Looks nice, right?


Now to Unilag, it goes thus: O'LEVEL
A1; 10 points,
B2; 9 points,
B3; 8 points,
C4; 7 points,
C5; 6 points and
C6; 5 points.
All you have to do is to calculate the points for your 5 jamb subjects combination. No multiplication or division needed.

JAMB
You'll then divide your Jamb score by 8.

RESULT
Add the two results above i.e for O'level and Jamb together. You then will have your screening result.


+++++++++++++++
Now, let's assume i have 5 B2s as my O'level result and a Jamb score of 320.

Using UI's method, i'll have; 5*5=25/30=0.83333*50=41.6665 - O'level
320/8=40 - Jamb
so, 41.6665+40=81.6665.

Using Unilag's method, i'll have; 5*9=45 - O'level
320/8=40 - Jamb
so, 45+40=85.

Looking at the two methods, that of Unilag seems higher.

Now let's look at the cutoff marks. Let's assume i choose medicine.

CUTOFF MARKS
For Unilag, the cutoff for medicine is 79.38%, the difference between my score and the cutoff mark is 85-79.38=5.62%.

For UI, the cutoff for medicine is 76.75%, the difference between my score and the cutoff mark is 81.6665-76.75=4.9165%.

Now the difference seems near. The difference between my 2 differences is 5.62-4.9165=0.7035 which is almost nothing.

Conclusively, as long as the method is the 50:50 method, it all comes down to the same thing. One may think one method is more strict but when you analyse it, you'll see that the two methods are almost the same. I hereby rest my case. Thanks for reading this article.

What do you think about it? Do you think i'm right or wrong?

I am a post graduate student of statistics at the university of lagos, and i've been ruminating on what to write as my project topic. If you don't mind, may be I should just adopt this your calculation and submit it as my projetc, or may be we can collabo to write a paper on this. That is if we can lay our hands on the methods used by all the schools.

Very nice concept you have up there. Kudos!

10) Lastly, your employer owes you your monthly salary

I wonder o, do I need a law to tell me this...?

In my opinion, I think the Nigerian Press aren't doing the country the expected good one would have expected a nation's mass communication industry. It is appealing to hear the press going to town with the BREAKING NEWS that the girl were rescued, whereas they were actually released.

And I can't remember Govt saying the girls were rescued but released.

And for those of you booking space, it merely shows that you don't have any reasonable thing to say.
