Why do Nigerian companies act like they are doing their clients a Favour for services being paid for. It is quite upsetting to have to beg for a service you already paid for.
Why will support staff and sales personnel lie blatantly to a client and yet they expect growth in market share? TIZETI management has a lot of work to do.

Glory be to God in the highest for the gift of His servant Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai. The lives touched by this great servant of the Lord shall forever be grateful. A fearless soldier of the cross. Sleep well sir until resurrection morning.

So sad. If justice had been done initially, his latest victims wouldn't have suffered the same fate. May God help our Justice system in Nigeria. May the Lord heal your sister and make her whole. It is so pathetic.

That's the problem, I'm tired of looking for a new job every 2years. I've worked several places that gave similar promises and along the line I'd realise the job is unproductive then quit and start looking for another, in all these jobs, my side hustle have been sustaining.
Not completely jobless like i said, I've got a small hustle that i run conveniently which pays me same 80k or even a little more than it monthly. So I'm wondering if I should focus on my business till I find a befitting job that is well-paying.

Your focus should not be on PAY! In life, there is a SEEDTIME (the time when you provide your service for almost free but you are honing your skill) after then there is a HARVEST-TIME (the time when you have earned a name and people are justling for your attention). Many young people mix-up these two seasons because of the amount of lies being peddled online. If you find joy in the service you are providing in your so-called SIDE-HUSTLE, keep to it, in a matter of time, you will become an employer of labor instead of running around every two years to look for a better-paying job. But if the side-hustle has no future, for example you are providing a service that technology is already threatening (for example, technology has practically eliminated the job of manual typists who were practically worshipped by final-year students who needed to type their thesis back in the 80s and 90s). Then it is advisable to get a job manage the small pay while ensuring that you are learning a valuable SKILL! Don't take a job because of the pay if you will have zero opportunity to increase your skill or learn something new. While you may be happy at first because of the good pay, soon you will start feeling unfulfilled. Wishing you all the best. Cheers.

Ignorance is a very terrible thing. How do you expect a man with many children to fragment his family by taking side with one against the others? It makes no spiritual sense for a Pastor to endorse any political candidate. 100% of your congregation cannot agree with the ideology of a particular political party. So it is best to allow each member vote according to their conscience. This does not only apply to Pastors it applies to every leader. Allow your followers vote their conscience don't force them to vote your choice. That will negate the idea of democracy! You don't have to agree with me, but this is my response to OP. Shalom

In time past, no part of our nation depended on other parts to survive. Every part was actively working and generating income. The idea of getting something for nothing has done so much damage to our society and created great confusion for the upcoming generation. Irrespective of how the VAT issue gets resolved by the courts, one lesson it has taught us all is that you cannot sit idle and expect to live large on others contributions. God bless Nigeria.

What makes the story inspiring is that the baby belongs to her student, not her. She was helping the student and at the same time teaching that we can be humane if we make up our mind to do so. Check around you today, there is someone you can give a helping hand too!

In case someone still need this information. Interview was done and 4 persons were employed.

You are probable ignorant about international politics, or should I say you know nothing about the Persians. No doubts Iran can't even dare confront the US unprovoked, that will be their end, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their soil, due to terrain, how determined the Persians are, allies in the region, etc.

Wars are not only won due to Sophisticated weapons, if not Isreal wouldn't have been defeated by rag tag Hezbollah militias, US wouldn't have been defeated by ill equipped Vietnam military, Saudi Arabia would have for a long time won the crisis in Yemen, etc.

Iran is threading with care, and they know they don't match the US, but if US dare attack her, they will fight US with all they have, The Persians fought Iraq will little international support even when Saddam Hussein was being supported by the entire western world, Iran back then had few weapons and depended largely on Foreign countries for military hardwares, yet they were able to push Iraq out of Iran and fought like never before, in fact they changed the objective of the war and was about encroaching Iraq. Iran fought to keep its sovereignty with tooth and nail even when Iraq was using chemical weapons on them.

Now fast forward to 2019, Iran has so many affiliated militias in Lebanon (Hezbollah, strongest in the world, that even the almighty Isreal would think twice before stealing Lebanese land), Houthi Shia groups (Yemen militias kicking Saudi ass in Yemen), Syria military (If not for Iran, The rebels would have defeated Bashar al-Assad), Iraq (Iraq is now an ally of Iran). That's not all, Iran has a homegrown military industry, they produce their own rockets, guns, submarines, aircraft (thou inferior), sophisticated missiles, etc, now tell me how you intend defeating a country such as this with ease? or you think Iran is Libya?

US knows this and they know invading Iran unprovoked will end their influence in the region, this war won't only end in Iran, it will affect all Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia and Isreal, Just an order from Iran and see how Hezbollah unleash their madness.

US is powerful, but wars are not always won by that. a war with Iran isnt what we should be praying for, as millions will perish. God heal the Middle East.

God heal the Middle East. Amen

All will be well with Nigeria by God's grace.

Irrespective of what you say, officially, PayPal does not allow Nigerians to receive fund on PERSONAL or BUSINESS account. See the proof in the following link https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Business/nigeria-business-account/td-p/1243995
That it works for a while does not guarantee that it won't be blocked. I was using a friend's paypal account years back. He added my email address to his PayPal account which was opened in UK. All was okay until he finished school and relocated. The account got locked and the fund inside could not be retrieved. The excuse given was that I operated as a Nigerian. You don't have to take my word for it. Just ensure you don't use heavy fund to experiment on your own.

A carnal mind will never understand spiritual things because it is blind!

That means you don't visit the Property section of Nairaland. Go there and get extensive information on building and construction!

I guess you missed the part that says it is my personal opinion.

@Op
Thanks for this post. It is one of the most educative posts I've read on Nairaland (my personal opinion). Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing the tip.

This is quite funny. Please which of the Television or Radio station will be selling at this price? We need to know so that we can go there and buy at the "Government Official Price"
Meanwhile, the fuel stations are still hoarding and selling at N135 per litre. They sell from only one pump and you get to queue!

We queue and struggle to buy fuel at N140 per litre at filling station. We buy adulterated version at road side for as much as N200 per litre. Why should I protest if subsidy is removed? The cabal are the ones enjoying subsidy while the masses are overpaying for fuel! Let market forces determine the price of fuel. Enough of all the lies and deceits.

Something tells me this little boy didn't understand that he was asked to kill himself. He looks too young to be fanatical enough to commit suicide. How are we sure he was not lied to by his handlers?

[b] Was one of the early individuals who registered for BVN way back but as at yesterday 1st Nov. I couldn’t carry out any online or ATM transaction. Got to FBN this morning and was told my account has been frozen cos of BVN. I presented my BVN immediately after dialing the code *565*0# and with some form of disappointment on his face, the Customer Care dude in the bank politely apologized cos he had initially accused me of negligence and failing to beat the deadline. I had to fill out another form for the error to be rectified which he also admitted of not being sure of the duration before the rectification would be implemented.

I am financially handicap right now for no fault of mine cos I pay all necessary bills (Internet, PHCN, MTN Top-Up etc) including my daily meal online at the beginning of every month. This is an absolute sign of the end time...!!!


If CBN or the Banks wants to implement a computerized Verification scheme shouldn’t it be done in a computerized manner without me losing man-hour just to physically present my BVN again for authentication?

[/b]

It is quite annoying how we are made to queue up like small children for things that could be automated. I did mine several months back, but other banks want me to come physically to their hall and queue up to link my accounts with them. It is quite irritating. If I can do business with China and firms in US without leaving my office, why should I queue up in GTBank and Access to update my records with them?

This is weird. The child is obviously not enjoying the joke if it is meant to be a joke! Whoever was putting the child through this ordeal needs counselling!

MTN is the most wicked network provider in the world. Now they want their customers to pay for their incompetence. The day they blocked my sim, i threw it away and got myself a new sim... No time.

I wish many businessmen have such option. If you throw away the sim that you have been using for business for years, you can be rest assured that your debtors will be glad to give it as excuse why they are no longer picking your calls!

Forward your complaint to NCC

Report to NCC? What will they do? Are they not in Nigeria? Are they not aware of what people are passing through in the hands of the mobile phone operators!
It seems to me that our leaders and those in position of authority seem to respect social media outcry more than quiet complains. I guess because they want to appear as SAINTS to the outside world.

It is funny how Nigerians are made to literately beg for proper treatment after paying for services.

It seems the phrase CUSTOMER is KING is not applicable in the relationship between MTN and her customers. A visit to one of the branches of MTN showed a lot of aggrieved customers protesting the poor treatment they are receiving from this telecom provider.

Over ten people I spoke with reported that they came to the MTN office queued and underwent the re-registration of their SIM even though they had registered several years earlier. Few hours after the re-registration, they received SMS from MTN that their registration was successful. But alas, few days after their lines were disconnected and now they have to wait endlessly in the hot sun while the few employee in the branch are obviously overwhelmed by the crowd they have to attend to.

This is unfair. A lot of businessmen and women are being made to suffer for pure incompetency of whatever system MTN is using to update the customer data. Who will pay for the manhour and business opportunities that are lost by these men and women?

No, you didn't make a mistake by studying law.
But you're are about making a mistake by giving up on yourself. Don't allow the fear of the unknown overwhelm you. If you survived the rigor of University and Law school, then I can bet that you are more equipped than the average entrepreneurs who had to struggle to survive amidst harsh competition in Nigeria.

What you need now is not money, but Godly counsel by "professionals" in the field you wish to work in. I will love to make recommendation, but I can't publish people's details on a social media like this.

I'm sure you're are getting encouraged with the tons of good wishes in responses to your post. Never give up on yourself! Stars do have scars! The test is what makes TESTimony captivating!

God bless you.

@Op thanks a bunch.

Sometimes, I wonder why we Nigerians lie to ourselves and engage in the fruitless effort of convincing ourselves that LIE is same as TRUTH. I am not an expert in Economics or Administration, but I know the following for sure.

1. Presently there is no subsidy. Buying petrol at N130 per litre while government officials are reporting billions as subsidy spent makes no sense to the man on the street.

2. We can survive without subsidy Nigerians are survivalist a little time of sacrifice won't kill us. If we can buy petrol at N400 per litre during scarcity, then whatever additional cost the removal of subsidy will introduce per litre won't kill us.

3. We survived the demise of NITEL, we will survive this ordeal! Before the advent of GSM, I remember how I ran after NITEL officials (junior staff who carries ladder from pole to pole) begging them to come and fix the landline telephone in our office. Those guys were like demigods. After begging their big bosses in the office, you still need to run after the technicians and pacify them else, your phone won't work. That was beside the outrageous bills which you dare not query! When MTN and ECONET came, their charges were outrageous, but today the hawker on the street can make calls to another hawker on the next street without breaking a bank.

In my humble opinion, there has never being "true SUBSIDY". Our collective resources is being shared among "thieves" who wishes that the mismanagement in the center will continue forever.

Good day everyone!

I was surprised receiving an e-mail this morning from this bank
that my ATM card will be disabled if I don't have BVN. Below was what I received:

"Dear Valued Customer,

Please note that your ATM Debit card will be disabled soon from performing transactions,Pending your registration for the new ATM card bank verification number(BVN) as directed by the Central Bank of Nigeria,Please note that this registration is Mandatory.
Simply copy and paste the link below in your browser and fill in the registration form to reactivate your ATM card immediately"


I wonder what having this BVN number is turning into. Is it a must I have it nor make use of it?

End time thing I think.... What do you as well think of this BVN or no BVN issues?

That is a scam! You can't process your BVN online because the bank will need to capture your biometrics.

It is well with Nigeria.

It is well with Nigeria.
