They are ''100 years ahead'' only in your thick, dumb slave mentality skull.

If I told you that a Nigerian company called Proforce supplies at least ONE European country with weapons, what will you say?

Blasted thicko.

Lol... Take it easy with your aggressive patriotism abeg. Manufacturing a helicopter gunship is way way ahead of assembling an armoured truck. Dont get it twisted.

The convoy also includes camry 2.2 pencil light and mitsibushi L300 onuazu danfo buses?

Looking for men and women of integrity ina country like Nigeria is like searching for a needle is a massive haystack.

Most common way politicians (especially of the ruling party) effectively rig elections is by ambushing and changing polling unit results while on transit to collation centres. The recently passed electoral law requiring e-transmission of results was going to change the story for Nigerians - a mega game changer and everyone rejoiced!

Of course everybody knew the corrupt politicians would never permit e-transmission of results, everybody feared INEC was a branch of the ruling party and as such, nobody trusted INEC to do the right thing. The INEC chairman had to publicly swear several times in Nigeria and abroad, that he would do the right thing and would electronically transmit the results.

As feared by everyone, the INEC chairman was simply a greedy, corrupt, shameless, lying scum! After all denials, he and his organisation turned around to do the exact thing which everyone feared and predicted he would do... What a waste!

highoctane:
That's the issue I experienced, that arose leading to my comments.

I guess that's a different issue altogether...

Mental health issues.... God help us!

EquitableTech:
It does exist.
Fist Bank has introduced contacless Naira mastercard.

FRS:
It exists for a while now, I use it especially when my card chip is dirty and not reading the card. It started with GTB Mastercard but there's no awareness of it so people don't know. I have been using it for the past 10 months.

blaise26abj:
Actually GTBank gave me a contactless card late last year . I didn’t request for it though. I agree with you with the fraud part unless the Termibal will still request your password

Lovenorth:
Opay allows us to do contactless payment

Where did you guys use your contactless cards? ... I didnt know the cards existed in Nigeria before... but then again, are there really any merchants that operate contactless POS machines in Nigeria?

patrislayqueen:
It exist long ago in Nigeria, na you no know. Also, it requires card pin for authentication.

Authentication of each transaction?.... If the contactless that existed long ago in nigeria requires one to input their pin, omo that one no be contactless again oo

highoctane:
I don't comment on what I did not try or experienced

Your explanation ain't in order.
I woke up by 4.06am, that's my usual wake up, to read about this news.
I tried to transfer the sum of 50k from my OPAY to my Gtbank account, the response was I have exceeded my daily transfer, the transfer was declined, I scaled it down to 45k, the response was your transfer fee will be #405. The transfer was successful, I want to reverse the transfer from my Gtbank account to OPAY,same response, same result.
What you gonna say or explain once again about this?

Was it contactless payment?... if it's not contactless payment, then your issue is different i guess..

Leebeedo:
CBN hindering the velocity of money...hmmmm

If your really knew what contactless payment was, you'd be begging your bank to set you daily limit to N5k

PHIPEX:
I noticed this nonsense today on my account. This is another policy somersault. This people are only interested in frustrating Nigerians.

How do you peg my daily transfer to 50k meaning we should all return to queuing in the banking hall? Why are we returning to 1990 Banking system instead of going forward?

iSense247:
This is preposterous. They should have given us reasons for this policy. 15k per transaction and 50k per day is too low in this inflation economy.

It's sad that government is controlling how we spend our own money.

PrincessofDSS:
I don’t get it

Very preposterous, does it mean I can’t exceed 50k transfer using my app

OneCandleAway:
Does that mean we can't transfer more than 50k

Bebigiby1:
Before the 2023 presidential election, I warned Nigerians about the consequences of allowing Tinubu and APC's evil government to continue, many in this forum didn't listen but continue to support the evil government. This new policy is not so different from policies under Emefiele that led to the current economic disastrous situation we are facing today. Until Nigerians decide to overlook tribe, religion and fight these evil leaders things may get worse.... As it stands it is not getting better....

This policy just like the naira swap policy will violate people's right to spend and earn. It will further destroy Nigeria's economy....

Sablexxxtoons:
The question is what is contactless payment.

Blitzking:
Someone should explain this write up

This is for contactless payments, not your regular transfer or card payment.

With contactless payment cards, all you need do is bring your card close to a compliant POS machine and payment would be automatically taken from your card without you having to insert the card in the machine or inputting your pin. Contactless payments don't exist in Nigeria YET; I'm guessing they're just about to introduce it. But I doubt it would work in Nigeria though, especially given the sheer number of fraudsters we have.

CSTRR:
You supported these people during the buhari era.

The waste did not start today.

Buhari did it.

And unlike you, these guys simply transferred their sycophancy to the next president.

And most of these sycophants are invalids from Yorubaland anyway, so it was as easy as getting a dog to eat shitt.

Reason I supported Buhari was to cut off things like this and fight corruption... He failed shamefully!

In the recent election, it was easy to tell where my support would lie, cos I still wanted the same thing; someone to cut wastage and to suffocate corruption, and OBI was the perfect fit for that. But its funny how several comrades who also supported Buhari on the claim of anti-corruption and cutting wastage all turned around to support Tinubu; for them, it was about greed and tribalism all along.

The sheer number of people on this thread excusing this lifestyle of waste explains why Nigeria has always been a shithole.

Obviously these sort of mentalities can never buy into the OBI ideology of cutting waste.

If Atiku was a reasonable candidate, then the logic being shared on this page would have been sensible.

For everyone saying "OBI's decision to contest lost ATIKU the presidency", what exactly would OBI or the Obidients who simply want good governance have gained from an ATIKU presidency?... a useless vice presidency which we all know is as useless as a councillorship position?...

The other day some unfortunate fellow claimed "OBI at least would have gotten contracts" had Atiku won and I was beyond disgusted; apparently these cretins think OBI and the Obidients were in the contest for contracts and money.

At the end, the folks spreading this silly narrative that OBI made a mistake contesting are either hungry disgruntled PDP/Atiku minions, or just foolish Tinubu supporters who want to mock Obidients (cos I dont see how it concerns the BATists that Atiku lost the election). In both cases, these group of people appear to be too dumb to realise the essence of the Obidient movement which was just a call for good and responsible governance.

This Reno he-goat is still pained Atiku didnt win. Nigga just lost his meal ticket for another 8 years and will never stop fooling himself in his anger against OBI.

SangoOlukosoOba:
The Chinese are very smart! They have studied Africans and are buying into our lapses. Those guys are going to recolonize Africans with debt.


A time will come when we will be so hooked to them and will have nowhere to run to.

Free loans with mad terms! China will give you loan, and still execute projects with same loan, with its own Chinese company.

Let’s be truthful, Africans are dumb!

The Chinese loans are the best loans Nigeria has collected since 1960. Those things you call 'mad terms' may not be suitable on paper for other countries, but given Nigeria's peculiarities, those mad terms are the best things to happen to Nigeria since 1960.

To make my point clearer; Nigeria's total debt is currently $108 billion, and only $4.34 billion (~4%) of that amount is from China. I can easily point out up to 10 verifiable projects completed with the $4.34 billion Chinese loans; but can anyone point out just 2 projects done with the remaining $104 billion?

gidgiddy:
No its its justification for only remembering there is insecurity in Nigeria only if it happens in the South East

Oga, you have no right to tell me what I should or shouldn't be worried about... If you choose to be worried about only insecurity in the north or in Afghanistan or in Syria, but not about the insecurity at you doormouth because of some misguided sentiments, that is your business not mine.... I have the right to be concerned about insecurity in any part of the country or any part of the world, especially the parts that directly affect me.... Your sentimental biases mean nothing to me...

gidgiddy:
Yeah, the people who only remember there is crisis in Nigeria only if it happens in the South East

Jokers everywhere

And this is supposed to be a justification for the crisis? .. So because there's crisis in other parts of Nigeria, so therefore it's okay for the SE to also be in crisis?...

With Buhari out of power, I sincerely thought I wouldn't encounter this bizarre brand of ipob reasoning anymore.... I guess the 'iberiberism' is still here to stay!

gidgiddy:
We still wonder why you people are bothered about sit at home so much, but if you people hear that armed bandits killed 200 people in Zamfara, it wont bother you people so much

You're asking why we're bothered about the sit at home and the crisis it brought to the SE? Are you blind or are you just playing dumb with that question? The crisis that followed the forced sit-at-home nonsense brought a lot of insecurity, economic and social damage to the south east; even the young, the blind and the mentally impaired could see and discern that... but you claim you don't understand why that should bother someone?

And then what about the crisis in Zamfara? So if there's a crisis in Zamfara, does that make it right for there to be a crisis in the SE? Are you trying to justify murder and insecurity on the excuse that "there is also insecurity in the north"?... If that's the case, then this line of reasoning has to take the Guinness World Record as the most stupid logic ever to be aired by living humans...

I am from the south east and it's my business what happens in the SE. As a Nigerian, it's also my business what happens in any part of Nigeria... And lastly as a human, it's also my business what happens in any part of the world. This explains why I can sit in my house and talk about what happens in Ukraine or Syria or Sudan... It's utter stupidity for anyone to tell me or imply directly or indirectly that I have no right to discuss or be worried about what's happening in Ukraine because I'm not from Ukraine.

Abufo:
Mandela's ANC used sit at home to peacefully agitate against apartheid.........do you want IPOB to use suicide bombers to agitate? The southeast governors should meet and go tell Tinubu to release nnamdi kanu that has been discharged by the appeal court! Stop supporting the evil work of a parochial Buhari administration!!

Peacefully? Did you just say "peacefully" even when people were murdered in cold blood and their businesses destroyed simply for flouting the forced sit-at-home?

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the idea of naming institutions and landmarks after people?

In the next few years, Nigerians would be drowned with propaganda...

JagabanBorgu:
The president was already in France before ur supposed outcry came, so u mean ur out cry sent him to France?
Tell urself the truth, u all shared fake news.

What exactly are you talking about? So if he's in France, does that mean he wouldn't get info about what's happening in NIgeria?

And then after the info available to you that the salary increase was approved by RMAFC, even the head of RMAFC had an interview 2 days ago when he confirmed the increase, but you still think it's fake news? What exactly is your level of education?

NinjaMetahuman:
looks like I'm talking to another brainless obidient.

Rmfac has been existence since 1989 and a part of their job is to review and allocate proper revenue for the political offices and it's holders.
But I guess you don't know this because obidients hardly know anything.

There are plenty agencies under government and they can propose anything at anytime, it's left for government to either approve or not.

Previous nnpc could wake up and propose that government should not allow the importation of petrol into the country. It is part of their job.
It is now left for government to accept, reject or suspend such proposal.


But then you people don't know how governance work. Just follow the herd like the rest of them.

Stop embarassing yourself trying to defend nonsense... A few posts back, you agreed with me that the 114% increase in salaries was an ill thought move and you praised your oga Tinubu for rejecting it. But here you are now trying to insult me for saying the salary increase was a stupid proposal? Do you know how confused you sound?.... This is what you get when people desperately try to defend rubbish out of sentiments; you send your brain on an unnecessary vacation and then end up contradicting and embarrassing yourself.

NinjaMetahuman:
first of, the agency didn't go anything wrong. they did the job they were hired to do.

tinubu saw it's not the right time and put an end to it.


Your ignorant obi knowing fully well that rmfac only did their job didn't bother go after rmfac for wrong timing, but the whole government, despite the fact that government hasn't in anyways approved the said proposal or there is any report of government approving such.

What sort of stupid job did the stupid agency do? Just imagine the nonsense you're vomitting in your desperation to defend government. Perhaps if Tinubu approved it, your likes would also be here defending it on the excuse that "he's just doing his job" isn't it?

Nonsense!

NinjaMetahuman:
so you know it's rmfac that decided to do that and tinubu decided to withhold it which is the right thing to do. But somehow you went on rampage blaming tinubu for the action of rmfac.

First of all, I personally didn't blame Tinubu... But even if I did, what's wrong with that? If people blame Tinubu for a foolish act by an agency under his control, what's wrong with that? Isn't he the president?.... If the agency had done something commendable, wouldn't you have praised Tinubu? How're we sure it wasn''t the public outrage that forced Tinubu to withhold how approval?

EcoNews:
Is the Pandora criminal that he can not verify news before responding to it ? The bastard shut his foolish mouth all Tru the murder of the USA diplomat not the lunatic how running his cursed mouth over Pandora mouth.

If you want to know who the true bastard is, just look in the mirror. If only you had a sound mind, you could have read the message you quoted before returning to type trash.

OBI did not respond to any fake news; the RMAFC which is the agency of the FG responsible for defining the salaries of public office holders actually increased the salaries of public offfice holders by 114%, and that increase is what OBI and other well meaning NIgerians were reacting to.... Of course after the public outrage, Tinubu refused to approve it. If you check properly, it's probably the reaction of well meaning Nigerians like OBI that forced Tinubu to withhold his approval. So anyone still claiming that OBi was responding to fake news is just being compulsively dumb.

JagabanBorgu:
Mainstream media doñ't report fàkè news, those media u call mainstream media has been reporting fake and misleading news for long now, is that what makes them mainstream media?
Mainstream media reported "yes daddy" and u all denied saying it was fàké, why didn't u and Obi accept it because it was reported by mainstream media?
Obi even threatened law suit just to save face and till date, we didn't see the law suit.

By the way, how is the 114% hike in salaries of the president and other political office holders a fake news?

Is the RMAFC not an agency of the FG?
Is the RMAFC not the agency of the government responsible for defining the salaries of political office holders?
Did the RMAFC not approve a 114% increase in salaries of the president and other political office holders?
So what then is the fake news?

If the president after public outcry decides not to approve this recommedation by his own agency, how does that make it fake news that RMAFC approved the 114% increase?

NinjaMetahuman:
and why hasnt he retracted the statement or issue another statement after confirming it was fake news?

E sweet to spread fake news about your ememies right?

georgeakins:
How would Peter Obi react to a fabricated news?

Obi is better off as a Biafla president, he is too deluded and emotional like his blodas

The mainstream media houses that reported the news, have they retracted it? or you're just obsessed with OBI cos he stole your meat?

By the way, what's even fake about the news or are we just lacking in understanding? RMFAC approved a salary increase of 114% for political office holders - that is a hard FACT!

That Tinubu decided to withhold presidential approval for the salary hike (obviously after seeing the public condemnation), that does not make it fake news that RMAFC approved a 114% salary increase for political office holders. So if you like, continue with your 'OBI obsession' and keep embarassing yourself!

Kanu will be released by Tinubu for 'political' reasons.

JagabanBorgu:
Obi reacting to fàkè news because it aids his propaganda as a messiah.
If the news is positive and kiIIs his propaganda, he will prèteñd he didn't see it.

The news was published by mainstream media. It took over 24 hours before anyone came to refute it.

Attacking OBI for believing and reacting to a repulsive news reported by mainstream media is nothing but foolishness and hate.
