Price should come down drastically not no matter how small. That comment better not b true.



Let's wait n see

That cost cannot come down drastically.

The refinery needs to make profit and cannot sell below cost of production.

Once petrol becomes so cheap in Nigeria, there will be increased smuggling activities at our borders.

1. They could use an existing valid API auth from a bona fide licensee and piggyback their own app on it. Most likely scenario

2. MITM attack, if the NIMC security is not robust. Less likely but quite possible

3. Internal agents via social engineering or outright compromise...very common

1. I doubt the fact that a bona fide licensee can share the authentication credentials with them knowing fully well they are competitors.

2. I doubt that MITM attack can be responsible as the credentials are encrypted over the wire, and if it is tampered with, the authentication will not go through.

3. The credentials (especially the key) on prod environments are always known to one or two persons. They need to conduct rigrorous investigation to pin it on someone

This means there are no technical people who are competent at NIMC.

How did XpressVerify API interface with the national data which suppose to require authentication and authorization before access will be allowed.

Only God knows what they have been able to do with people's data.

Head suppose to roll with NIMC technical drivers and hard questions need to be asked.

Competent hands and robust infrastructure suppose to man sensitive data as such. I am so scared there would have been lot of identity thefts already

The president has issued a statement on the killing of soldiers in Okuama.

STATEMENT BY H.E. PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU ON THE KILLING OF NIGERIAN SOLDIERS ON A PEACE MISSION TO OKUAMA COMMUNITY IN DELTA STATE

I remember Odi.

As the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, the President sent military to quell a trouble and the indigenes ended up killing them.

No one dares to do this during Obj era, after they had seen what happened at Odi

CaptainJune:
The Lord Jesus died young at the age of 33. This is after He had fulfilled His ministry. Yes, Jesus is the Great Apostle of the Christian faith. Whether you are called to the fivefold ministry or not you are free to go home to be with the Lord after you have fulfillled your ministry.

I agree with the Op regarding other factors that take heavy toll on their health but this also applies to everyone. As such, pastors are humans like any of us. The key here is to take care of one's health. Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, advised him to delegate duties to the Israelites so as not to be overburdened by them. Had he not done so Moses would have probably died earlier than he did.

Some pastors also do face the warfare (bizarre according to wordly standards) aspects of their calling such as helping an individual, family, community, or nation be delivered from satanic strongholds that may have been running for generations. Some pastors confront these demons (princes and rulers of wickedness) without proper spiritual mapping and preparation. This results in the death of some of this pastors. One has to be anointed and directed by God before embarking on spiritual liberation against evil entities.

Jesus had a special assignment to do on earth. You could not quote Jesus'age as the standard. Don't spin the narrative.

God has a covenant of 70 years with the people on earth. The op was simply asking, why did some pastors die before this time promised to us by God .

Why should they when the strongest passports are from white dominated countries? However, in cases where whites naturalise, they celebrate/cherish it. Such as Singapore. Indians, Pakistanis and Filipinos celebrate their naturalisation. Nothing stops Nigerians or other Africans from doing the same. It is an achievement on its own.

When I read the bolded, I knew you have not traveled out before. You are one of those we are trying to shape their worldview.

First of all, those you mentioned (at the bolded) are not classified as "whites". Your kind is the one that will see a Chinese and be worshipping him as "white".

Two, do you know that during the Brexit, the EU citizens working in the UK were offered British citizenship. Large numbers of them considered it as insults and they declined, they went back to their countries. A German would rather die as a German than a British.

Three, do you realize that there was a time in the past, Nigerians landing at British airports were offered British citizenship at the port of entry, which majority of them declined. It was a thing of beauty to be a Nigerian then. Nigerians did not need visa to travel to the UK, but tell me what percentage of them travelled then? Very few, and Nigerians were enjoying in their country.

Four, stop seeing changing of nationalities (citizenship) as an achievement. It is just a mean to an end, not the end itself. Citizenship doesn't stop you from being homeless or jobless or dying poor. You need a robust, much sought-after skill sets to be gainfully employed in the western world. Even if you don't have their citizenship, their companies will file for work permit for you and you can work. You become a global citizen since any company can file for work permit for you from any country. You become their bride whom they want at all costs.

I will advise you to be consciously exposed to the global events and expand your perspective about life. Learn and unlearn.

And that "definition" of wealth is what has made 99% of bank account owners in Nigeria have less than N500k in their accounts, made about two-third of Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty.....a "definition" that has put high pressures on Nigerians, thus the low life expectancy rate.

I have made conscious efforts to disconnect from such "definition".

While i am happy for you that you have disconnected from such definition, the reality that lot of people are still plugged in to the same definition can not be ignored.

One culture is not superior to other but there is a problem when we want to maintain the african definition of comfortability in a foreign land which holds different definition to ours.

MT:


There is poverty and hardship everywhere in the world, however the international news would not report it.

Do you realise some people cannot afford 3 square meals a day in the western world?

Do you realise that in the US, it is the school meal given to students that make most of them to eat, when they are on vacation, most of them go hungry as their parents cannot afford to feed them? That explains during Covid when the US govt had to arrange for meal to be delivered to the kids at home since they were out of school and most of them would go hungry without school meals.

It is a tough environment, and sadly their countries are conditioned to just make you "comfortable" - they do not even expect you to shoulder the responsibilities of your parents or relatives or friends - just be comfortable in your own little way, rack up debts and die when death comes. That is why the whites can afford to watch Arsenal vs Lverpool match that will probably cost 120 GBP. How many blacks do you see in the stadium watching football, they will rather go to the pub, buy one pint of beer and watch. They cant even afford cable TV at home.

But we have another definition for wealth as Nigerians as it relates to our culture. We want to show off to the world, we want to build houses (not mortgage), we want to buy amazing cars, we want to live large without debt. If such individuals choose to live in western worlds, there will be clash of cultures and such individuals will look for a way to force his idea of "wealth" to come to fruition - they will most probably go into crime as the last resorts eventually.

Mostly (not at all times), that is what causes cases like this.

I came to the UK through study route, for my specialty in Clinical Child Psychology and now working as a CAMHS Neurodevelopmental Assessment Practitioner and on the pathway of achieving my UK Psychotherapist license.that is me living my dreams and wouldn't have achieved that in Nigeria.

Some people need to "japa to grow" while some would be okay with their growth in their home countries.

Basic living constitutes not being homeless, not going hungry nor getting hit by the elements because of inappropriate clothing for the prevailing weather.

If those same guys happen to be in Nigeria, they would still engage in crime because their cores are disconnected from earning a honest living.....why didn't they stop after scamming their first £150,000, meaning each getting £50,000 which is the 25 months earnings of those "slaving" themselves in the UK?

While your argument was persuasive, you could not deny that for every one like you we have over 100 of individuals who are at the wrong end of the stick.

Some are so frustrated with what they are currently doing that they want out desperately, and they wont mind what it takes to get a sizable amount of money to restart their lives somewhere else because they feel they have invested in the country as well.

Such notion is wrong and should be condemned but it is a reality.

An average african man is not satisfied with the definition of UK comfortablility (which you described in your write up). Africa culture has a different definition to comfortabilty.

I repeat, I am not making an excuse for them, my intention was to tell others coming to have a realistic assessment of the country they are coming into and lower their expectations at the same time. Few people realise the dream of African definiton of wealth while living abroad even as a professional, as the system is rigged to always "take more" the higher you go.

I read on Instablog that the Taiwo dude moved to the UK immediately after his secondary school education. The mom has been a resident in the UK since. If someone must be greedy, why not channel it into something legit? He is probably a citizen sef.

Citizenship has nothing to do with crime.

Everyone is a citizen of a particular country.

It is Nigerians that see a big deal in acquiring citizenship of another country. Even the whites do not see it as a big deal.

There are many Nigerians languishing in jail in Nigeria. Also, many Brits, Americans, Canadians are in different prisons for various crimes.

Being a citizen of a western Nation does not make you a "perfect" being. We just exaggerate citizenship in this part of the world.

Regie2bless:
their excuse wen in Nigeria be say no work, government no provide job, graduate are roaming the street dat is why dey are into fruad, NOW u are in a far! far!! Better country, what excuse will dey give now? This fraud thing is not about no job buy rather about wicked greed to acquire what is not theirs. Same thing goes to secondary school student doing fraud, wetin he wan talk say be d reason of doing it?

Not referring to this case but not everyone in the western gets job!.

The international media have painted the image of perfection when talking about western world.

That is not true.

Mindlog:


You are making a case for them!

Those guys are criminals who love stealing from others because they don't want to be involved in honest work that would pay for the basic comforts of life as they want to live large, show up at clubs, wear designer labels etc.

I live in the UK, my honest earnings do take care of bills and some investments...so why should I choose the criminal path?

How much are majority of Nigerians in Nigeria "slaving" to earn monthly?

Well if you cant see it using my lenses , I cant help you.

At the bolded, you will respond to your own questions.

It is an open secret that most people are getting by and not living their dreams in the western nations. Are you saying because you are making an "honest" living, it is enough to satisfy your dream? Few people abroad can absolutely say they are fulfilled on the job. Individuals react differently to situations. Someone that dreams to be an engineer, but working in a care home, is making an "honest" living but will never be happy or satisfied, irrespective of the money being made. That is human nature for you.

Your idea of "basic" living is different for each individual. Your life cannot be accepted as a standard for others.

If this happens in Nigeria, it is so convenient to make a blanket statement that "Nigeria" happens to them when analysing what could have pushed them to crime.

Why do you guys put up a fight when we implicitly say "UK" happens to them? Afrerall, there is a reason for every action.

dominique:
And there's another thread where a Canadian based Nigerian.is duping his fellow Nigerians of millions of naira. Do we blame poverty and hardship on these acts of sheer greed? Hope we can now see the disastrous consequences of justifying fraud?

This is a pointer to the fact that things are not easy anywhere in the world.

That UK you are dreaming of travelling to is where some people chose the way of fraud to make money. This is not peculiar to UK alone, it is all over the world. If life has been easy to them, most probably they wont go this route. I am not making any case for them, just showing that it is not easy anywhere.

Before you lose 14,000 GBP for CoS (Equivalent of 28 Million Naira) today, to get to UK where you will be slaving to make an average of 2000GBP per month (with almost 1300 to 1500- GBP gone with bills each month, WITHOUT feeding and clothing and other miscellaneous expenses), think twice and have your plans mapped out.

The grass is not always greener at the other side. Those of you that think that when you get to western world, you are wealthy by default, let this story be your guide.

I am not saying people should not travel but please lower your expectation to avoid cases like this.

Only God knows the silent majority who had been defrauded all in the name of CoS.

See the way the lawyer spun the story that he specialises in General Travel Consultancy. He was simply a travel agent and was frauded in the process.

Losing over 28 million naira (14kGBP) all in the name of wiping old wrinkled bum bum in a foreign land.

If that was not madness , what can we call that? And some people still have the effrontery to defend this by saying Nigeria should be blamed for it. Shame

Listen, I am not a card carrying member of any political party but I reasonably praise FG when it is due and give them a knock when they deserve it.

It is only a cynic who does not see anything positive about individuals or political parties.

Gradually and slowly, we will get there.

It hurts me that Nigerians will go to the western world and be telling people back home about stable electricity, excellent infrastructure etc

I feel if we get our acts together, Nigeria has human and material resources to overtake some western nations.

I am optimistic.

sukkot:
As it stands in the heavyweight division these are my rankings
1- the best is Anthony Joshua but he just has to solve that usyk problem. Usyk is not a good boxer but he is very durable and moves a lot but he is not that good. Daniel dubois destroyed him but they cheated him.

2-Joseph Parker is number two.

3- usyk is number 3

4- Tyson fury is number 4

5 - Deontae wilder is 5

Quit whatever you are smoking

azpekuliar:



Your ranking is based on “na our brother” sentiment. You are ranking Usyk below AJ that he (Usyk) has flogged twice? You are also ranking Parker ahead of an undefeated Usyk? You are a disgrace!

Unbiased Heavy Weight ranking

1. Fury
2. Usyk
3. AJ
4. Parker
5. Wilder

Stop arguing with the folks here. Many people won't agree with your ranking based on sentiments.

When Usyk beat Joshua in the 2nd fight, Joshua was screaming - "You have got better skill than me. I am more powerful but you still beat me.". Then he threw the belts outside the ring in frustration.

People don't know skillful boxer. Fury and Usyk are very skilful and difficult to hit. Joshua lacks that.

uniquetechng:
Technically AJ is the best in the division, that's if you understand and follow boxing.

Oh ok. That explains why he beats Usyk twice.

You are right

Whose money?

His or our Commonwealth?

I can bet it's the latter.

havenz:
Na only Anthony Joshua right now dey give me joy at the moment, so therefore On Anthony's mandate I stand.

Anthony will struggle with either fury or usyk. They understand the craft and box with absolute finesse which AJ cannot match.

UK is constantly making huge money off Nigeria in the name of an "annual" event.

Africans are still in servitude to their slave master.

Unfortunately, most of them don't attend the workshop, rather they go out to shop and greet friends.

What has been the impact of the workshop since they have been attending each year?

This should be condemned and I expect the president to make a pronouncement banning all jamboree workshops.

Someone used to sleaze can't survive in this country called UK

At the end of the day
Mu advise has always been that one should evaluate himself very well before fleeing that country and plan well
If not look for alternative

If it is about statistics, how many percentage of people are "balling" in the UK?

A country where the majority of her citizens live from pay cheque to pay cheque, and in serious debt which they cant settle in their lifetime..
