So how do you keep your money? You don't live in Nigeria?

i spend them immediately on easily tradeable commodities like bags of rice, mellon, beans etc leaving only the cash i need for day to day transactions, this also preserves the value of my money against inflation since i can sell those commodities after some months of storage at a higher price. I have plans to gradually invest in plantation agriculture starting with a small demo farm this year among other plans. I hide cash at home and don't allow visitors into my bedroom.

Jesus christ asked the women of Samaria to stop crying for him but to instead cry for themselves and their children. Nigerians are yet to understand our gradual but steady decline into poverty and hardship due to economic mismanagement. Some of us are still feeling woke because they can still intimidate their neighbours with a fairly used Toyota Camry.

I avoid dealing with Nigerian commercial banks except where it's absolutely necessary, i don't save with them, i don't have an atm card, i keep my distance from those government backed thieves.

I know so many families having this problem right now, i don't support couples cheating each other but the ladies are doing it now so brashly and it doesn't make any sense to me. Those young men too needs guidance, why sleep with married women (some of them in their forties and fifties) when you can marry and be happy with your wife? single girls plenty everywhere sef.

Paperworka:
I told you earlier that I got a declassified information that Uche Mefor will meet Uwazurike and Asari Dokubo next month in Benin Republic, Their aim is to sabotage the struggle for the freedom of Biafra and consequently join the Nigerian Politics. So he has drawn his game plan which I think you are one of the agents ( We don't even need the UN to help us get our freedom). So keep propagating your lies until Bokoharam in Military Attire will visit your state/hometown then you will realize that a chicken is never a friend to its owner on Christmas day.

the guy you're quoting is a paid online agent from the government, i have long stopped responding to him on his almost daily anti IPOB threads, why tye moderators haven't banned him for false information is what i don't know.

Nigerian doctors (including Igbos) are in Saudi Arabia. Maybe you're living in an unpopular location for Nigerian immigrants.

kalu61:
Umahi, Ogbonnaya Onu, OUK are the only three candidates from SE in APC.

Moughalu is not a politician and politically naive. He has no network, leadership experience and mass appeal. Infact, most igbos haven't heard that name. Only few of us online.
I agree Ohanaeze don't have grip on SE voters but their power cannot be under rated.

OOK has lost credibility, Umahi have lately been seen as a betrayer and extremist due to his recent unguarded statements, harsh actions and the negative press from the PDP politicians fighting back, Ogbonna Onu have credibility but he has not showed any serious interest. Ohanaeze is currently an object of ridicule in the east, they can't deliver block votes and should not because partisan politics would tear it apart, we can't forget that two parallel elections was just held by Ohanaeze and the less popular faction might go to court to derail the organisation.

kalu61:
There is no doubt that power will come to south in 2023.
We will see how PDP and Atiku will fix this.

I have said it and will continue to say it, Ohanaeze needs to foster a unity front for all the aspirations from SE in each party and from there move to negotiate power with other regions.

It must not be SW because both regions are likely not to agree but with actors from other regions. By so doing, the power of give and take can be achieved.

OBJ became president without the SW and Igbo can be president without SE or SW. Its about negotiation.

Umahi is SE best bet, OUK and other keys members should be brought to a round table to see to this and only Ohanaeze can do this.

unfortunately, Ohanaeze have no control over the southeastern/southsouth voters, APC currently have no Igbo candidate with mass appeal, they need to shop for a candidate that can match Peter Obi of PDP in a free and fair election. Somebody like Kingsley Moughalu who is also from Anambra state might serve.

A country been held together by force of arms would eventually break apart, there's no two ways about it.

News of kidnappings and violent crimes fills the FrontPage and news media everyday, yet it's ESN that the Nigerian police are after. Zoogeria

There's no direct correlation between his suicide and Trump, even the police have not yet commented on a reason for taking his life yet the news article is making it look like he did it because Trump is stepping down, the gang up against Trump especially in the press is really very strong.

Thanks for the explanation.

Commercial drivers on Wednesday
protested against alleged extortion by
officials of the Lagos State task
force.
The protest left many passengers
stranded along the Agege-Ogba-
Berger axis of Lagos.
As of 12.14 pm, gridlock had begun
to pile up along the route with many
passengers trekking long distances.
Some of the drivers held weapons in
a bid to resist further arrests.
They also attacked their colleagues
who attempted to convey passengers
and dislodge others.
The protesters barricaded the road at
the popular Omole junction.
One of the drivers, David, told our
correspondent that he was made to
pay N20, 000 by the task force
officials.
“I was in the park when they arrested
me. I was buying sachet water and I
suddenly found some of them (task
force officials) in my vehicle. I asked
them what my offence was but they
only said I have been arrested. I
eventually paid N20,000 before I was
freed,” he added.


Another protester lamented that some
task force officials were making it
difficult for them to recoup their
investment in the transportation
business.
He said, “They said we should not
drive Okada (motorcycle) again, we
bought Keke Napep (tricycle). They
banned that again and we bought
minibusses. They still collect money
from us as if we are operating
illegally. We are tired of being treated
like criminals. We cannot continue to
pay illegal fees again. Anytime they
stop you, they start to demand
N20,000. This is unfair.”
When contacted on the telephone,
the spokesman for the Lagos State
Task Force, Mr Taofeek Adebayo,
denied the allegation that the
commercial drivers were being
extorted.
He said, “The fact remains that their
protest will not stop the agency from
carrying out its statutory functions in
enforcing the Lagos State Transport
Reform.

Tech skills. You could work for companies abroad selling your services in programming, digital marketing, writing, copywriting, animations and video editing etc.

You could find remote jobs on sites like Upwork, fiverr, freelancer, toptal, linkedin, indeed alongside a host of others.

Thanks for the explanation, can you name specific skills that are in demand?

Good day, please what skills and platforms can i use to work online abroad from Nigeria, i really need viable answers thanks and remain blessed.

i wouldn't comment until i read this from a reputable newspaper.

Prenonjebose:
I commend Mr Daniel for not taking the laws into his hands, but rather reporting to the Police. I don't know how the force intend to prosecute the matter, but the man should just take custody of his three children. Let the other man bear responsibility for his two.

I think one of the three children died from the wife's negligence of duty.

agitator:
Is the mail pastor responsible for the child? and not the mother?

he can be charged for engaging in action capable of disrupting public peace.I think it's a chargeable offense in Nigeria based on a Google search results i did.

Mynd44, lalasticlala

agitator:
This one strong oooooh,

Which offence the police go tag them with

They can be charged for criminal negligence of the child that fell sick and died.

Within the next three months, the Nigerian market would likely be flooded with the type of affordable paternity test kits available on Amazon but supplied from China, that's when the real wahala would burst. men should also learn to have their children's blood group and genotype checked at birth, it can reveal false paternity for those that can interpret the results, most Nigerian doctors knew about the high rate of paternity fraud in Nigeria through these tests but they're legally not allowed to tell the husbands.

CodeTemplar:
Between this guy n those who came out openly to support death for helpless singer which is worse?

The freedom and free elections we enjoyed under Jonathan have all been destroyed by this regime, my happiness is that even northern Muslims and Yorubas like Sowore that Buhari in power are suffering the intimidation and discrimination.

Mynd44:
Actually he was charged to court. He has been denied bail.

Nairaland have long been invaded by government agents cyber sitting on thread first pages and you're doing nothing about it as a moderator? that mannabwrill practically crowded this thread FrontPage with his colleagues.

unfortunately, Anambra state have already shifted school resumption by two weeks forward.

bukatyne:
Because the focus was on Moyo's marriage.

Now the spotlight is on the MD's marriage, I can with full chest say how irresponsible, unfaithful and useless he is.

And I keep Madam Moyo out of his case.

I don't know why his wife is divorcing him though. The case happened about four years ago.

If she did not leave then, why now?

Is it because he has fallen from grace?

the wife probably knew of his other family recently due to the scandal online.

If she divorces the man, automatically, his baby positions herself to be the new wife, unfortunately, the man may prefer to marry another woman instead of his baby mama. lesson, lust is not love.

Owerri1stSon:
I heard they started

Thanks, let's wait for confirmation.

Good day brethren, have the German embassy started issuing visa appointment dates or should i go for a smaller European country for my masters? thanks and remain blessed.

Olufemi Olaniyi, Ibadan Forty-seven Fulani men armed with guns and other weapons have been arrested in Igangan, Oyo State, by men of Operation Burst, which is a joint security team of soldiers and policemen. Our correspondent gathered that the suspects were arrested in the early hours of Sunday by the Ofiki River along the Tapa/Igangan Road in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of the state. Sources told our correspondent that the Fulani were allegedly invited to strike by their kinsmen following the raid carried out by the men of the Oyo State Security Network Agency otherwise known as Operation Amotekun in the area on Saturday. Amotekun said it raided the hideouts of kidnappers in the area on Saturday leading to the death of three persons, while one of its men was also injured. The security outfit said the raid was carried out in collaboration with Miyetti Allah vigilantes, hunters and others. When contacted about the arrest, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the arrest to our correspondent. He said, “The arrested Fulani men have been transferred to the SCID, Iyaganku, Ibadan, for discreet investigation. “Though it was alleged that the Fulani men claimed that they were trailing some kidnappers, who were about to collect ransom from relations of a kidnapped victim, investigation has been intensified on the matter.” However, the Coordinator of Odua People’s Congress in Oyo State, Rotimi Olumo, told our correspondent that his men in the area told him that the Operation Burst outfit arrested the suspects. Similarly, the OPC coordinator in the Ibarapa Zone, Olanrewaju Ogedengbe, said the armed Fulani were in three buses. He said, “Forty-seven of them were arrested at the Ofiki River. They were caught with Dane guns and after their buses were searched, sophisticated guns, bows and arrows, charms, catapults and bullets were found. “I heard that security men have come to arrest the Seriki Fulani. He was arrested this morning (Monday). Those arrested said they were brought from Ilorin, Iseyin and other places. They wore Vigilante Group of Nigeria uniform.” But when contacted by our correspondent, the son of the Seriki Fulani, Umoru Salisu, said the Fulani men and Amotekun had planned to carry out the raid on the criminal hideouts, but Amotekun went ahead before the men arrived. He stated that the Fulani men, however, did not leave the area after the raid was carried out, adding that the hasty decision of Amotekun caused a rift between the agency and the Fulani men. https://punchng.com/police-probe-47-armed-fulani-men-arrested-in-oyo/

Adelani Adepegba, Abuja
A notorious kidnapper, Mohammed
Ahmadu, notorious for terrorising
commuters on the Abuja-Kaduna and
Abuja-Lokoja highways was
abducted by another kidnap gang
and had to pay N1.55 million for his
freedom.
Ahmadu was said to have visited the
gang’s hideout to sell ammunition
when he was kidnapped and shot in
the arm when he hesitated to pay the
ransom.
The kingpin was among 18 suspects
paraded by the Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, in
Abuja, on Monday.
The police said Abubakar Umaru aka
Buba Bargu, 35, was one of the gang
leaders that abducted Ahmadu.
Mba said Umaru, who was notorious
for always killing his victims, took
over the leadership of the crime
syndicate after the gang leader and
his deputy were neutralised by
security operatives.
Mba said Ahmadu had boasted he
had charms and could not be shot
and Umaru shot him to show how
serious he was.
The police spokesman said Umaru
had strong links with a major terror
group in the North.
He stated, “Ahmadu is also known as
‘Confirm’ because he was a reputed
marksman in the underworld. Yet, he
was kidnapped and released after he
paid N1.55m.”
Ahmadu, who said he had been
involved in more kidnap operations
than he can remember, revealed that
he was abducted after supplying 90
rounds of live ammunition to Umaru.
He said Umaru was associated with
the Boko Haram sect, recalling that
there was a time his own gang
kidnapped 20 victims at a time.
He stated, “I have saved up to N15m
from these nefarious activities. I
witnessed an operation where Buba
(Umaru) kidnapped 55 persons from
a luxurious bus at a time.”
Umaru said he had been involved in
kidnapping for the past three years,
adding that he operated on the
highways only.
“I broke up with Buji to form my own
kidnap gang because of unfairness in
sharing ransom money,” he stated.
