Billyonaire: The visit to Maiduguri, Yobe and 2 other states were already planned since last December, but the opposition had a wind of it and rushed there first so as to make the President's visit, which was under wraps seem reactionary. APC will do anything to confuse uninformed Nigerians but we should understand that today's APC are yesterday's men who only metamorphose for their selfish interests and not for the good of common Nigerians.

Do you mean it takes over 3 months (December to early March) for Ebele& his minders to plan and implement a state visit?
A state visit in the country over which he presides (regardless of the security threat)?
A state he's yet to visit going to 4 years?
Francois Hollande,France's C-in-C, was in Mali less than 48 hours after mainly French troops stabilized the suitation with the AZAWAD insurgency (whatever they are called)
Ebele Jonny go slow,Nigeria's supposed C-in-C, is yet to visit Borno since 2009
Now you know which C-in-C is a coward.

I don't know about been happy but they were more contented
Now our own generation says get rich (by every means possible even if you sell your soul to darkness) or die trying

The question is not whether he has the legal right to run
Even kindergaten pupils know the answer to that
Rather,the question is is whether he has the moral nous to do so?
Whether he has honour?

Can Ebele be trusted is the question?
This is he who denied knowledge of Gov Slyva's EFCC's travails only to state he 'installed' Dickson as Bayelsa's governor because Slyva couldn't complete an hotel project he started when he(Ebele) was governor
A man that has reneged on his promise to govern for only a term. A promise captured even by foreign media not to talk of local ones
One who denied (actually shamelessly lied) on national TV that the PDP has a zoning pact
A man whose media minders denied his wife was sick but rather on vacation only for the wife to hold a lavish thanksgiving service on been able to overcome life threatening sickness in hospital
One who told us he doesn't give a DAMN regarding public declaration of his assets in such a corruption riddled land as Nigeria
A man who has told northern governors their written pact with him to run for only one term no longer holds because Northern Nigeria wasn't delivered to him politically
I could go on and on but I ask,
IS THIS THE KIND OF CHARACTER NIGERIANs CAN TRUST?
ONE WHO LIES AT WILL?
ONE WHO LACKS HONOUR
Without trust,a marriage dies
When a leader is not trustworthy,calamity and corruption await
Decide wisely in 2015
Use your vote to speak out loud

@ FutureDon, good to see your post, hope you are finding your time over there interesting?



@ topic, how do you handle your finances
I remember been seeing my school's FAQs that they do not accept debit/credit cards payment from Nigeria when I wanted pay my initial deposit
However, I'm thinking of using my GTB Mastercard whilst there [UK] by leaving the bulk of my upkeep money here [my GTB Nigerian acct] and withdrawing on a need to use basis
But is that a wise move especially as I will not be residing in a major financial hub like London [although UK's banking system is excellent]?
Kindly let me have your input and thoughts to synthesise with mine
Thanks

I have a TECNO T8 phone which is unresponsive to touch,I can only recieve incoming calls &read texts because of its physical buttons&volume control but not previous messages
Cant even access my phone book nor load credit due to the unresponsive screen
Please what could be wrong and how much would it likely cost me to repair since its still useful as a back up phone
Also can I change the OS or something?
Been thinking of getting a Galaxy pocket dual SIM as my back up phone but that will mean letting go of a good though low end T8
Got it for 19k when it came out only for TECNO to ship out the N3 some months later
E just be like say I flush money for toilet when I see low end Andriods not up to how much I buy am back then

ini4brandon: pls.techies help. me. my techno d3 battery dosnt last a full day after 100%charging. any tips?

No be Andriod phone?
Smart phones are notoriously power hungry except they are on standby for most of the aay
Get an additional battery but hey don't TECNO phones usually come with a spare battery?

drizzit: now dis statement just goes a long way to show the booming market for used phones in nigeria aka computer village. At tha same time it sounds corny.....and racist. Why specifically refer to Lagos,Nigeria? Is there any relevant data showing how many used phones from the US and Europe get to Nigeria and Africa?

I thought so too but recall Nigeria is Africa's largest phone market
Why we in Nigeria don't have such a mechamism in place bears me hollow knowing the number of phones(smart and not smart) lost by Nigerians
Or perhaps if the phone manufacturers can create a kill switch known/activated only by the original owner of a phone
I lost a Samsung Galaxy SL 2 weeks back and even though I have a better replacement,I'm stiil thinking how to squeeze the neck of the dude who stole it not forgetting retrieving some sensitive stuff which was on my SD card.

Policewoman: He is getting on your nerves now, but yesterday u peeps were praising him to high heavens. Abeg he should make them work FULLTIME on saturdays. Afterall some of us work d whole week.

Yeah
Laptop crew job career shey?
Sunday to Sunday defending incompetence and corruption
No thanks but I'll pass for your kind of work
No offiense as ******* used to say

romanlaw: Chai!! If its GEJ that made this announcement!! Omo hell will let loose, ACN abi APC ati LAi Mohammed will go mad. BUT because ITS OUR DEAR FASHOLA THAT COVERS ALL OUR LOOTING.....ITS OK BY US. cHAI!!

It is because Lagos has a semblance of order and performance which cannot be said for your fish oil brained boss
Also in a truly federal system,the states are free to enforce their working hours & civil servants don't really do much in 9ja save for a few states

Good move Gov Fash
Those ministries are quite vital

Bkl4real: The governor said those accusing his administration of non-performance were obviously embarrassed by his performance because it has “exposed the inefficiency of the Central Government they manage”.
He said: “No state government in the country and certainly not their government at the centre has paid such diligent attention to the presentation of budgets and submission of its yearly report of implementation.”
The governor said Nigerians would like to know how over N2 trillion of the Nation’s budget of about N4 trillion in 2011 ended up “enmeshed” in fraud.
He faulted the on-going good governance tour of the Minister of Information, adding that his administration does not need a good governance tour to showcase its achievements.

ocelot2006: I'm afraid I disagree with you. How do we get rid of the nuclear waste? And why not go for cleaner forms of energy? We could harness the sun up north by building large solar farms. The nation equally boasts of large natural gas deposits. We could equally use that to power current and future power plants, and adopt new technologies that cut down or eliminate harmful wastes from these plants.

May heaven bless you Ocelot seeing we like grandstanding a lot here in 9ja
Pikin wey still dey crawl wan start dey fly
We seem not to see what natural disasters can do to a nuclear plant e.g. Japan &the Tsunami of 2 years back
We leave what we have abundantly and is safer i.e.sunshine and go seek what we have no homegrown capacity for

Afam4eva: I can tell you that a lot of Nigerians look like that.

Chei
Naija people are not smiling

Wish you the best Madam Ngoo
BTW,how come sge's going to the UK this late
Visa issues?
Thought Fash gave her the ca$h late last year

REALLY WISH HER THE BEST

obailala: If the 2 anthems must be sung, is the proper thing not to sing the anthem of the host country last? Isnt it how its done in football games?

Na football match be this?
SMH @ the reasoning of people

Good move by the people and state of Ogun
Guess that's how THISDAY normally do their thing in their Abuja shindigs

I don’t know if its real but I do know their deposit rates don't cut it
Fidelity offers 4.5% on 1mill while GTBank offers 7.5% and Access Bank ,6.5%
I would have thought GTBank would offer a lower rate as they have a better credit profile but hey even Einstein was wrong on some things

okine4real: my question is this.if i fix 3M for a year. whats going to be the percentage and specific amount that would get to my pocket.

You should get the percentage quoted seeing the percentage quoted is on yearly basis but many peoples PEOPLEs DONT KNOW this
If you have the money at hand walk into banks (personally GTBank gave me 7.5% on 2.4 mill which I'm rolling over for 3months) and find out
Ask the officer to calculate it for you (remove any tax&charges,) so you'd have an idea of how much is due to you
Also find out how easy it is to liquidate in case of financial emergency or economic instability
Although TBs would give a higher markup but I'm embracing the LEAST volatile investment platform before the time comes for my intended project.
Access bank also a has a FRD investment platform of 11% per year
The key is ASK ASK &ASK especially when the money is already in your account for money is the ONLY language understand

jerk: who knows tht of fidelity cus d are giving me 4:5% pa on 1million.

Fidelity is low
TOO LOW
They offered me same about 2 and half weeks back
Access Bank offered 6 or 6.5% -can't recall (though their FRD product offers 11%)
Finally fixed with GTB for 7.5%
Do your math and go to the banks personally as you can get higher rates than that listed on the bank's website

sportfeva: Stealing is taking a new twist especially in Lagos. How many times has bank robbery happen in last 6 months compared to previous years like 2 or 3 yrs ago. There is improvement in that area. So kidnapping is the new thing. My own preventive dose.
*be wary of so called friends and colleague especially what you divulge.
*careful of words @ pub.
*don't drive in a lonely place @ nite.
*when face or double crossed, be brave and smart to drive crazy and flew away even if it involve hitting the intended kidnappers.
*lastly, always pray before entering or upon driving. Just a solemn words to honour and praise your creator to guide you.
Not all might be quite okay but just a hint.

True that
Kidnapping is truely the new gold rush for criminal minded elements
Nearly happened to me too by someone by mama once trusted

RIP
Wish Toyin&your family the fortitude to bear this

airmark: Imagine making money in Nigeria and you will still be fearful to enjoy the fruit of your hardwork. A rich man living amidst poor men is a dead man poor man.

So true
Its scary

When Tunde Bakare said Ebele's destiny is to bankrupt Nigeria
Many,myself inclusive,thought it was sour grapes because he lost the election.
With hindsight Pst Bakare was spot on
Jonathan has destroyed the handbrakes as he accelerates towards Nigeria's financial ruin.

Omo 9ja
9ja for show even with all the horrors we have back here

Jarus: Honestly, GEJ is getting himself too involved in politics than governance/administration.

So on point
If Jonny go slow devoted half the time he's using to scheme back into Aso Rock [recalling his first pronouncement was proposing a six year tenure for elected officers], we'd be seeing tangible benefits of his administration.

Why would she pour acid on herself,her beautiful self? What did she stand to gain?
But then why would she also research on acid attack victims BEFORE been attacked?
