my woman too must b given belle for US as well born for there. una just dey intimidate me. hahahaha.....sup Mo.

Mo is good.

Don't be intimidated, na just planning, & we pray naija too get better soon, when it does, no one would leave free HMO or cheap hospital here to dash oyinbo hard earned naira & kobo...God go favour us all.

Popri just told me they have increased tax to 10.25%!!!

Hian! Dem come de follow baba God drag tithe niyen o!

10.25 or 12,5%

The only objection I have to the sales tax issue is that one is a foreigner, minus that the result of the taxes they collect is clear for all to see...

Not that some will be gaining weight on people's taxes & the people carrying the tax burden go dey shed weight...

favoredgal:
What they give for free is tap water though. The thing has a little taste to me.

A lot of them drink it though

Water at Walmart or sam's club especially their own brand called right choice is ridiculously cheap

Babe,Walmart/Sam's Club is for when person dey go out grocery shopping nah but not while we just wakaing about, moreover the same water is what they sell to people who request for water with their meals...

I also don't know about other places but Chi Town "warra" tastes same as packaged one.... Wetin a dey talk sef, nor be same warra dem dey drink for house?...

Babe, after paying for warra, still pay 9.5% Tax join? Ko si owo, nor be say a nor go pay if e dey, but e nor dey.

@ firsttymum, we gatz to save money, cos we chop fowl leg and we dey wakaaaaa

nefertitiram:
See my coach! Hehehehe! Aunty I hail o!

Ain't no shame in my game.

Person get running tap (what most US homes drink sef) , get ice & still dey country wey dey pamper belleful people join? Abeg na to milk the opportunity oooo..

Nor be beg, na to ask nicely "can you fill my "bodu" (Yankee accent) please" & they do with utmost pleasure, 1.20$ saved!!

Moreover, the amount of coffee & bagel you don buy from them should be payment nah.

greatest31:
The earlier you start reasoning properly, the better for you. Is that the democracy dividends? Tell them to work. That is what they where voted in for.

Obama never criticized the past president but he started working.

Did Bush almost empty the treasury?

Is America converting it's scarce dollars to another currency to import every available junk or crap?

Is their any similarity between the citizens of both countries? That Republicans are not in control at the centre will not prompt them to continually wish evil on their country....

You people keep comparing things that have no correlation! SMH

Can't still believe I heard him say that!!

nefertitiram:
Ahhh, queen of Alaroro is back. You guys buy water? Hell no! I walk into any eatery (subway, Chinese restaurants etc) and beg for water, fill up my water bottle, even ask for ice join. Or look for a water fountain and fill up my bottle! Me? Buy water? Yinmu!

, women milking belle since 13 BC.

Still can't get why POP is cheaper than water

Obiagelli:
Shame on everyone that have tried to score cheap tribal and religious points with this saga of 2 kids with poor home training.

I have deliberately shied away from making any comment about this as I knew deep within me before this pic/video surfaced that the girl isn't as innocent as politicians were implying.. Teenage girls of these days ehn!

Onlineise:
That awkward moment when you realize a 70cl bottle of water is $3.

$3 * $/N320 = N960

For these stress and sacrifice alone God will make our LO leaders in thier various fields and generation.

.. nor kee me abeg.

Zumabeezle,

You have nothing to worry about when it comes to the financial but don't use your mum as a sponsor, find a way to work it that it's you & your husband....

I don't know ooo, but it sounds off, my opinion.

Your moniker is fiyah BTW.

Ezenwammadu

Hello, Like I told someone yesterday, I don't know anything about any of the roads save for the Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja road that my family & I have been plying since the late 90s even before Obasanjo's regime...


I'm calling God as a witness in this, but that road's rehab & dualization was started by [bobasanjo[/b],continued by yar adua & Jona, it is still uncompleted & a nightmare during the festive seasons.

Kindly take a confirmatory tour before sticking out your neck... peace.

Pamperme:
A friend said this, this morning o. i didnt believe him until i read this. Na wah o. GTB!!!!

All the folks that earn revenue online dey avoid them, go to business & technology boards, na curses dem dey rain on them..GT is the new UBA.

LegatusGlaber:
Perpetual injunction? SOB! How did he do that?

His wife Mary Odili is a Judge of the Supreme Court...

omodadi:
Good morning people, please hiw do I apply for PTA at stanbic and fidelity banks? I mean online as their branches here claim they don't give PTA but I know it happens in lagos (HO). Do I have to go in person to book? Please this would cost us about 70k and at least 2 working days(leave) to travel to lagos in person and book, and we still need to go and collect it when it's our turn, so any alternative will be of great value.
Please give me info if you have; maybe phone number of staff involve who I can speak with on phone to book us,or email address as the case may be.And please if the contact you have is not any of this bank, and I can still open account in a new bank to meet up, don't hesitate to asist. I can PM personally if required.
Our travel date is 1st week April. Thanks and Gid bless!

For STANBIC, send a mail to SIBTCBDCLTD@stanbicibtc.com, then keep sending them reminders,2 days to your travel, go there if they haven't called you for pickup, they will definitely sort you out...

For Fidelity, I have no idea.

Hello great Nairalanders,

God bless u all for this wonderful thread. I have a B visa alongside my pregnant wifey and son. I have 2 important questions that i need help with;

1.Please i need a hospital in Houston dat does nt charge more than $2500-$3000 for delivery(Na forex scatter my plan o,abeg help ur brother).My wife shld be in the usa by end of July (30 weeks preggy),so she'll do abt 6-8 wks ante-natal with d hospital. I believe she wont need CS as our 1st baby ws delivered normally.I need name,phone no &email.

2.I got my visa for vacation, what if we do not inform the US consulate of our change of intent (does it have any negative impact).

Pls i need answers asap from ur great selves so i can start planning quickly. Na beg i dey beg o

Bros , let's take it in nos as enumerated.

1. That 3k budget won't work, even for birthing centre, moreover you can't predict with pregnancy, better safe than sorry....

2. Informing the embassy is not compulsory as long as you are well & able to bear the consequence of any fallout from such action/inaction.

Now let's be serious, houston & chicago POEs are not the kind of POEs to take chances with, both will humble a saint if the CBP one encounters woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Also , how will you be able to dispel the theory that the journey isn't an intent to be an illegal immigrant? How easy would it be to explain coming to have a baby in a country that touts itself as "Childbirth is EXPENSIVE" with a budget that will give rise to suspicion?...

Methink you should up your budget to 6-7k$ (I know the streets are mean & ain't smiling but be hopeful) at least & also inform the embassy that your wife's situation has changed from vacation to health....

Visa covers both, but Houston POE ain't child's play..

nefertitiram:
I de ya back so o!

I join you in solidarity as you are my bebe coco.

I know GT wella, a bank that has Abok1 inside banking hall to change FX for customers by force?


@beautyX5 ...

Abeg help tell GTB head honchos that na like this UBA start before people be dey side eye dem, make dem kontinu!!

This Judge again :

The man nor dey discriminate, just Bring it!

theshadyexpress:
your defence is weak and empty, nobody is calling the VP names we're just stating facts as they are. you claim youre only familiar with one yet you're disputing the existence of others. please learn to argue sensibly and not like a programmed mind

Who is arguing with you

Since you have been programmed to speak without inviting your thinking cap along, show me where i have disputed the existence of the other roads?

Unlike you & your ilk that are unable to separate emotions from reality, I don't say what i do not know, You are claiming a completed road, I'm insisting that road has been under construction for over a Decade.

I wont join issues with you, cos you are not worth the effort, kontinuuu with your bull in a china shop mentality, doesn't change the facts on ground..

Hero IB losing that election was not a fluke, people know better, bye felicia!!...

Of all these roads, the only one I'm familiar with is the Abuja Lokoja road started by OBASANJO and still not yet completed!! anyone claiming otherwise is telling a big fat LIE..

Anyone intent on calling the VP names can go ahead if that is what will make them sleep easy at night..... The truth however can never be hidden for long.....

The picture depiction are also misleading, the completed picture is somewhere around gwagwalada while the before picture looks like Okene (not 100% sure) which by the way still looks exactly like the picture.

@ greenpasture

Your post is on point, didn't look at it from that angle


@ babacele

Thanks for getting my point, I'm not against the idea, it is the Nigerian factor prompting me to be sceptical...

rusher14:
[b]Why do you think a national carrier must be wholly financed by government?

Government could own a stake, just as in a joint venture.

Find out about KLM, Air France etc.

Why do you think it won't?

Neither of us is in the know, so my point is from the basis of it being government wholly or majority owned, if the venture is on a 50/50 or govt owning 40% & nepotism, favoritism, cronyism aren't given leeway then I'm all for that...

Who wants to fly & be fumigated while in the aircraft?

As for knowing about KLMAIRFRANCE, I do & can tell you a bit about BA, Emirates, Delta, AA etc as well, thx...



Whyem15 & officialIyanu ... learn to read & comprehend before jumping in mentions!

Enemy of Nigeria? Me? Really? , very Funny!

PMB isn't infallible, we would be doing him & ourselves a great injustice if we didn't point out obvious pitfalls...

Firefire:
I understand your view, but I presume we are in CHANGE ?

Must everything be reduced to the dregs of petty politics , is there no place for rational thinking & humanity?

PMB can do it but what happens when he leaves office?

Should have known the patriotism was a mere ruse, it is foolhardy to expect sweet juice from bitter leaf!!

As I will always advise you, some things are & should be beneath grown ups, life goes beyond bellyaching over Tinubu, chief of neverland.

Nogen:
I talk am. Gtb? Never trust them with your card and money!

I knew the water wasn't clean when i tweeted @ them for confirmation & it was crickets from their end..

I filled a cart in anticipation but i just didn't fall !!!

CBN should be invited into this criminality! !

Nefertitiram , favoredgal , omodadi , apple19, .... copy cpd@cenbank when you send a protest mail, they should have sent a message to stop people from buying, not sneakily putting their accounts in debit..

Firefire:
A welcome development...

This will surely be a source of income to the FG and reduce our capital flight and boost our economy, if properly managed.

Tell me one thing, just one that government owns that isn't a Dud? I'm waiting..........


@ omohayek ... howdy? we are saying the same thing but in different ways....

Just wondering why we can't just stop let the past be & face the future...

GenBuhari:
Madam,
A national airline is a matter of national pride and prestige.

When even small countries like Ethiopian and Kenya have national airlines, Nigeria needs to have one to be taken seriously in the community of nations as an African superpower.

Our lack of Airline means Nigerian travellers have to pay more than other nationals to fly to and from Nigeria and are given poor service and disrespect by Airlines of certain countries.

Are Kenyans & Ethiopians like Nigerians?

Gen B, you seem not to get the issue, I would love a national carrier but our people don't know how to care for things that they don't have personal/vested interest...

There is nothing new that can be unearthed that will surpass #dasukigate in my book ...

If funds meant for security of lives & properties can be siphoned for frivolities, what is in transportation that should be sacred?

Hero IB is a gift that keeps on giving..

I personally don't like this!! National carrier for what exactly?

Pmb should stop reminiscing about Nigerian Airways ojare, that is dead and gone..

No matter how noble the idea is,it's almost a sure bet that it would fail, Nigerians are not nationalistic in our dealings..

Government should restrict itself to creating enabling environment for private airline businesses to thrive not "owning" one...

My 2k.

mrphysics:
The poster still new like this??
I smell Scam alert and Photoshop.

13yr old poster that looks like it's fresh out of the printing press? Issokay oo..
