what are they doing on the spate of building collapse in this country?

They should work together with Geoscientists who understand the subsurface better before building any structure especially in areas with unstable soils.

Forget it and move on.....This is how problem starts in the family. You are bitter on what he said in his sub-conscience mind. Before you know, different interpretations would be coming to your mind and thus your love for him starts to diminish.

Guys..is it possible for some one to travel through the Germany border without holding any Euro..my friend intend to change it at the airport when she get to germany..this is because she cannot afford to buy the euro from the black market at N455 per euro as at today...will they allow her pass the border..if she present her statement of account and her MASTER CARD?

She should check Abokifx.com to see the amount bank charges on ATM, that would form the basis of her decision whether to buy or use ATM card for withdrawal.


Haven't you heard that ATM machines seize ATM card?should that happenened (God forbid), what would be her fate?

My candid opinion is that she should just buy between 100-200euros, she may need it for emergency.

Schwartz, we are missing your view points on some issues here. Please come back.

Hello All. Here is my experience at Church in Germany. So far I have attended 3 different churches in different cities here and I love it. This are churches by whites. Though there are one or two Naija churches around but personally I love this ones. I saw a lot of differences

No loud speakers outside: The norm has been during service, churches put on loud speakers outside so the neighborhood of the church hears every thing going on inside the church. To me I feel its noise pollution and unfair to neighbours because some times you have in one street alone in Naija over 5 churches blaring away. Here its so quiet outside the church building that if you don't get into the church you don't even notice there are people inside the church holding service.

Noone comes in gaily dressed: This people are so simple that they don't dress any different to church. If you don't have a nice Sunday wear no one cares. Picture attached was service today. Its summer now and people were wearing shorts to church! Also sleevless floral light dresses. There were no suits, no nice hats, no bogus jewelry, no nice shoes, no Italian bags, no one with nice hairdo. Its was just plain clothes, sneakers and sandals to church. You can't even differentiate between the rich and the poor. I remember in Naija when I used to take materials to my tailor to sew the latest dress so i can wear for church service. I remember all the outdoing and show off by members.

The pastor has no hairs around him: The simplicity of the whites is amazing. Even into the work of the ministry they carry it along. The pastor comes into church carrying his bag by himself. Goes round each member to greet you with a smile and a handshake and asks how you're doing. He is just a humble caring friend you can chat with and he prays for you. He reminds you there is a table he has set for coffee, tea or water. There is just nothing special about him. He just carries out the service normally. He has no special name like G.O or daddy etc. I just cant explain the simplicity of the 3 white pastors I met. At the end of the service they stand at the door for a goodbye handshake.

expecting you back at the general Germany visa thread

The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, yesterday, suspended nine banks from further dealing in foreign exchange transactions, until they remit all outstanding Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, funds in their vaults into the Treasury Single Account, TSA. The nine banks were barred for concealing $2.12 billion belonging to the NNPC, and failed to remit the funds into the TSA as directed by the Federal Government. The action of the apex bank, however, is seen in some quarters as contradicting an earlier circular on the issue exempting NNPC from TSA. Bank The circular addressed to the Director, Banking and Payments System Department of the CBN, with FD/LP2015/C/ADC/20/1/ /DF as reference number, was dated September 14, 2015. It was signed by M. K. Dikwa for the Accountant-General of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Finance, Funds Department, Abuja. The banks, which suspension would remain in force until they remit all the funds to the TSA, are United Bank for Africa (UBA) ($530m); FirstBank of Nigeria (FBN) ($469m); Diamond Bank Plc ($287m); Sterling Bank Plc ($269m); Skye Bank Plc ($221m); Fidelity Bank ($209m); Keystone Bank ($139m); FCMB ($125m) and Heritage Bank ($85m). The CBN officials said further disciplinary actions awaited the erring banks after remitting the funds in full to the government’s coffers. Vanguard gathered that CBN governor was in Lagos, yesterday, for meetings with banks’ Managing Directors to brief them on the development. It was further learned that at the meeting, issues were raised concerning some of the banks that were not listed but it was later learned that further investigations on their transactions were to be carried out. It was also learned that President Muhammadu Buhari had been briefed on the matter before the sanctions being imposed on the defaulting banks were arrived at. The nine banks comprise three old generation banks and another six new generation banks. The TSA of the government was established in August 2015, with the government saying it would help check leakages in the system. The apex bank’s decision to bar the banks comes two months after it released the highlights of the much awaited flexible foreign exchange market policy. The highlights, which are key notes and agreements reached by the CBN, were released on Wednesday, weeks after the Monetary Policy Committee, MPC, announced the introduction of the policy. After its meeting of May 24, the CBN said the policy would allow banks retain a small portion of foreign exchange for critical transactions. Banks officials react Speaking on the issue, some of the banks officials said the understanding was that NNPC was exempted from the TSA. They said the Federal Government had exempted 13 government agencies from the TSA arrangement related to electronic or e-collection and mop-up exercise of government funds from commercial banks. A circular exempting the agencies was communicated to the CBN from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF). The exempted agencies of government are “profit-oriented government business entities that pay dividends to the Federal Government of Nigeria.” Exempted agencies The exempted agencies are: NNPC, Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Bank of Industry (BoI), Nigeria Railway Corporation, Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, Bank of Agriculture, Niger Delta Power Holding Company/National Integrated Power Project, National Communication Satellite Limited, Galaxy Backbone Ltd and Ajaokuta Steel Company Ltd. Others are Urban Development Bank, Nigerian Export-Import Bank and Transcorp Hilton Hotel. The circular, entitled: “Approval to exempt some MDAs in line with the e-collection mop-up exercise,” read: “Approval is hereby granted to your bank (CBN) to exempt the accounts of 13 MDAs (category six) as listed below the mop-up in line with the e-collection circular no. HCFSF/428/S.1/120 dated 7th August 2015 as these are profit-oriented government business entities that are to pay their dividends into the Treasury Single Accounts whenever they are declared.” The circular urged the CBN to “note that in line with the presidential approval, the following, as it relates to NNPC as listed above (S/No.9) under Category 4 should also apply: “That National Petroleum Invetsment Management Services (NAPIMS) remains classified as an MDA that is funded from the Federation Account under Category 4 of the Circular, being the NNPC business unit responsible for the management of the Federal Government’s investment in upstream activities and funded from direct proceeds of oil and gas revenue. “That NNPC will continue to preserve the status with respect to NAPIMS’ Operations Account as well as Escrow Account for Third Party financing, in view of the Joint Venture (JV) cash funding currently being experienced; and that all other NNPC’s commercial/business entities as re-classified as ‘Profit Oriented Public Corporations/Business Enterprises’ under Category 6 of the Circular which requires that only dividends from these entities be paid into the TSA.” When contacted, Mr Ohi Alegbe, the then spokesman for the NNPC, had said the NNPC would continue, as it had always done, to remit its accruals into the Federation Account but that the JV cash-call obligations with its partners would use commercial banks and not the CBN. Chinedu Moghalu of NEXIM confirmed that NEXIM had been exempted from the TSA scheme while Shola Adeyemo of Transcorp Hilton Hotel said the firm was “aware of such a directive.” An official of BoI, who pleaded not to be named, said as a developmental institution, BoI did not fall into that category. He noted that BoI managed intervention funds on behalf of the CBN as a result, the BoI will have to be exempted from the TSA arrangement. It will also be recalled that the NNPC had denied any wrongdoing over its failure to remit about $13.294 billion to the federation account over a nine-year period, stating that the funds were utilized legally in running its operations, while the balance of the funds had been transferred to the CBN. UBA, Diamond banks react Reacting to the development, UBA said in a statement issued last night: “Our attention has been drawn to report of the ban of UBA from the foreign exchange market by the CBN over the non-remittance of NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits. “We wish to state very categorically that UBA has completely remitted all NNPC/NLNG dollar deposits. We thank all our numerous customers, business partners and other stakeholders who have reached out to us on account of this report.” Competence sources close to Diamond Bank revealed that the bank never hid the account from the CBN and had always been open about it.

Yes to all your questions. It is actually a possible thing.

iamord:
Just look how people thread carefully on here cos the charlatan has the pastor tag on his name... If it were Islam or another religion it would have been an insult fanfare... Bunch of brainwashed hypocrites... This manual be arrested and the church closed down..

You are very much right.

Pastor
What an audacity?

Why didnt ASUU come up with all these allegations all this while. The man left the VC sit some years back and none of these allegations was raised since then.
ASUU should just shut up and let the man be. Even the last but one ASUU president has been found to be corrupt by ASUU herself. What have they done about him?
Must you always bring down your perceived enemy?

Congrats

Nigerians should erase the melting of jungle justice on alleged people. Anybody can accuse another of a crime not committed. It is even better for a criminal to go unpunished that an innocent person been punished for a crime he knew nothing about.
