Who will pay you 20 million for a house worth 200k?

You think insurance firms na ponzi?

If you don't know about insurance, why not ask rather than showing your ignorance. It's so easy to comment but rather seek knowledge before commenting.

MasterJayJay:
It seems the newest online stuff in Nigeria is ponzi websites. Everyday a new ponzi scheme website is lanched in Nigeria with the aim of scamming gullible Nigerians.


Recently, a secondary schoolmate of mine told me about some guys that want me to create such website for them. They are ready to pay me heavily. Though I am very broke, I rejected the offer and bluntly to him I can't take the offer.

I haven't made it as webdesigner. I did not even get any webdesign job throughout last year till this moment. Some people that want me to design a website for their school, business will collect my contact and I will never hear from them again. I am not a pro(can't code from scratch),but with paid softwares that are available online I am up to the task.


Just this morning, I signed in to my facebook account and saw another person making an inquiry on ponzi scheme. I uploaded the screenshot of my chat with him.

Though hunger is beating me here seriously, I refused to be tempted to help criminals scam Nigerians.

Nice one op. Can you send me your mail address, I need u to design a website for a company into safety and environmental services.
Cheers

Note:
You can sit for the exam after having 4 years post-graduate experience.
And having NSE Corporate Membership doesn't make you a Registered Engineer.
You will still have to present your NSE Project Work and Post Graduate Experience to COREN for your registration as a Registered Engineer with FRN.
It is after the registration with COREN that you are ELIGIBLE to bear the prefix,Engr.
Though it is annoying that most folks abuse the suffix.But those who have it know the process they pass through to obtain it.

For the cost implication of the NSE Exam,you should be looking at 150-200k cumulatively.

Hello, I am an Environmental Engineering graduate. I plan to apply for the NSE exam this year. Kindly send me any materials you have. My mail address is oladre2002@gmail.com. thanks

oladre2002@gmail.com. Thanks

Happy new year everyone.
I am glad that there is a forum like this on NL. God bless the OP.
Can anyone help out with a good mechanic for an Infiniti Fx35 on the mainland, preferably around Berger/Ikeja.

Many Thanks

The trafficking of Nigerian women from Libya to Italy by boat is reaching “crisis” levels, with traffickers using migrant reception centres as holding pens for women who are then collected and forced into prostitution across Europe, the UN’s International Office for Migration (IOM) warns.

About 3,600 Nigerian women arrived by boat into Italy in the first six months of this year, almost double the number who were registered in the same time period last year, according to the IOM.

More than 80% of these women will be trafficked into prostitution in Italy and across Europe, it says.

“What we have seen this year is a crisis, it is absolutely unprecedented and is the most significant increase in the number of Nigerian women arriving in Italy for 10 years,” said Simona Moscarelli, anti-trafficking expert at the IOM.

“Our indicators are the majority of these women are being deliberately brought in for sexual exploitation purposes. There has been a big enhancement of criminal gangs and trafficking networks engaging in the sexual exploitation of younger and younger Nigerian girls.”

Although a thriving sex trafficking industry has been operating between Nigeria and Italy for over three decades, there has been a marked increase in the numbers of unaccompanied Nigerian women arriving in Italy on migrant boats from Libya. In 2014, about 1,500 Nigerian women arrived by sea. In 2015 this figure had increased to 5,633.

“Already we have seen nearly 4,000 women come in the first six months of this year,” said Moscarelli. “We are expecting the numbers to have increased again by the end of this year.”

She warned that the current policy of placing Nigerian women in reception centres along with thousands of other migrants was playing to the traffickers’ advantage, with women regularly going missing.

“There is little understanding of the dynamics and nature of this form of trafficking,” said Moscarelli.

“The reception centres are not good places for trafficked women. Just last week six girls went missing from a reception centre in Sicily, they were just picked up in a car and driven away.”

Nigerian women who are entering Italy among migrants on boats from Libya should be immediately identified and treated as trafficking victims. Instead of being processed in reception centres, they should be placed in specialist shelters where they can be given the advice and support needed to break the chain of sexual exploitation, she said.

“Most Nigerian women who arrive in Italy are already victims of trafficking, many have been subjected to serious sexual exploitation on their journey. Many are forced into prostitution in Libya,” said Moscarelli.

“The women we are seeing are increasingly young, many are unaccompanied minors when they arrive and the violence and exploitation they face when they are under the control of these gangs is getting worse. They are really treated like slaves.”

Salvatore Vella, the deputy chief prosecutor in Agrigento, Sicily, who led the first significant investigation of Nigerian trafficking rings in Italy in 2014, said that the reception centres are increasingly being used as pick-up points by those intending to exploit Nigerian women.

The Nigerian women are given a phone number when they leave Nigeria, which they use to inform a contact in Italy that they have arrived.

“The mobsters just come to the camp and pick [women] up,” he says. “As easy as going to a grocery store. That’s what these women are treated like, objects to trade, buy, exploit and resell and the reception centres are acting as a sort of warehouse where these girls are temporarily stocked.

“They wait until the woman has her residence permit or refugee status document and then they just go and pick her up.”

Many Nigerian women arrive in Italy with debts of about £40,000 for their journey from Nigeria to Italy, which they are expected to pay back.

Nigerian trafficking gangs use a toxic mix of false promises of legitimate employment and traditional “juju” ceremonies to recruit and gain psychological control over their victims.

The women are led to believe that terrible things will happen to their families if they fail to honour their debts. They are then forced into prostitution on streets and brothels across Europe.

“Currently the shelters and services we have for those women we manage to identify are at breaking point,” said Moscarelli.

“We must give police prosecutors the financial resources to tackle the traffickers and improve access to legal services if we have any chance of reducing the numbers coming in.”

This is a 2006 account of the accident from http://www.nigeriafilms.com/news/774/2/ibinabo-fiberesima-involved-in-fatal-traffic-accid.html

Lets not be sentimental, if you do the crime, then be prepared to do the time.

Not every accident is caused by bad roads. There are numerous causes of accident, but its most unfortunate that we attribute most of them to bad roads, since there's infrastructure deficit in Nigeria.

See the image below and tell me if the road is bad or smooth.

[img]https://server7.kproxy.com/servlet/redirect.srv/sruj/smxlxnfxqe/spqr/p1/attachments/3469517_d_jpeg606f2d2c5cc4b1a0bcf4de5a863bea72[/img]

From the same image, it appears that the cause of the accident is most likely a burst tyre and one thing about accident is that, When over speeding on the tempting highway, once your front tyre bursts, only God can save the car from somersaulting at least 3 times. No matter how good a driver you think you are.

I'm talking from experience. Mine happened on 3rd mainland bridge and it was my front tyre too.

The late Minister also died from burst front tyre too

Agreed, the Abuja to Kaduna highway is one of the best in the country. Most causes of accident there are negligence and over speeding.

NavierStokes:
Mr don't go about throwing insults, did you read properly to understand how the thread came about, an initial thread was opened by someone else giving a biased report to how the broadsheet, referred to Ex president Jonathan as a buffoon, and so I decided to come up with the other half of the article, requesting the Mod to put both threads side by side to enable readers see how within one article people can perceive information differently, moreover the link to the whole article was also pasted. Please I beg you don't go about throwing insults at people, you may never be able to do so, to the same person in real life. I do hope you are having a great day sir.

My sincere apologies, I forgot to delete the offending word.

I still think u were partial sha.

The idiot op that pasted this just give Nairalanders just what he wanted, a one side to the gist. How can u b so partial?

Anyone that is educated and can use what is between his ears to really analyse will read the whole talk on http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21689584-cheap-oil-causing-currency-crisis-nigeria-banning-imports-no

The fact is that Buhari inherited a comatose economy.

Hello,

According to Nigerian army sources, speaking to a SaharaReporters correspondent on the condition of anonymity, soldiers have liberated 3,000 people from areas under the control of Boko Haram on Wednesday. It was also confirmed that the military killed at least two terrorists during this operation.
According to the military source, the thousands of civilians were held under the control of militants in villages around Dikwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State.

He noted that the Army Headquarters Strike Group responsible for the liberation of those civilians was engaged in a fierce gun battle with terrorists on Wednesday in Kudel and Kawari villages, which are about 11 kilometers from Dikwa town.

This source also told our correspondent that the liberated citizens looked malnourished and had very little strength. He added that most of those rescued were women, children, and elderly men.

He also disclosed that they have been screened by both the military and Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) and have since been placed in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Dikwa where more than 50,000 people currently reside.

SaharaReporters also learned that some terrorists were killed when soldiers were returning to Maiduguri from Dikwa.

Five persons have been arrested in Bayelsa State for an alleged plan to attack the house of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Yenagoa.

The suspects were said to have been apprehended in a hotel in Swali area of Yenagoa as they were perfecting strategies to unleash an attack on the former President’s house.

The names of the suspects, who are all males, were given as, Asupha Emeka, 34; Ebipre Ebebi, 25; Samuel Joe, 27; Okilo Matthew, 25; and Timiere Matthew, 25.

It could not be ascertained the motive behind the plot to attack Jonathan, however, it was learnt that the incident was part of the measures to create tension in the state ahead of the Saturday supplementary poll.

It was also learnt that the suspects were thugs loyal to a candidate of one of the frontline political parties in the state.

Confirming the arrest of the suspects, Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, Asinim Butswat, said their apprehension was based on a tip-off.

The spokesperson said, “On the January 6, 2016, at about 1500hrs, based on a tip-off, detectives from the Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Vice unit stormed a hotel premises in Swali community, Yenagoa, and arrested five suspects.

“The suspects are Asupha Emeka, Ebipre Ebebi, Samuel Joe, Okilo Matthew and Timiere Matthew.”

Though he did not indicate the name of the personality they were planning to attack, Butswat said the suspects were drawing a plan to launch an attack on a yet-to-be identified location.

He added that the suspects were currently undergoing interrogation and that investigation was ongoing.

However, a security source, who craved anonymity, said the planned attack on Jonathan’s residence was designed in such a way as to give the impression that the opposition was after the life of Jonathan.

He said, “The planned attack on Jonathan’s house was to give an impression of violence ahead of the supplementary election in the state. What the mastermind intends to achieve through that is what I cannot fathom.

“You know this is the time of politics when politicians design all manner of tricks, crisis and strategies to heat up the polity. This is one of those aspects of dangerous politics they are playing.

“The ringleader of this dastardly act, we learnt is a member of Jonathan’s party. The whole plot was contrived to give the impression that the opposition is the one responsible.”

Cc Mynd44,

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested a former Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Brig.-Gen. Jafaru Isah (retd.), in connection with the ongoing investigation into the $2.1bn arms procurement scam.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest and detention of the former military governor to one of our correspondents in Abuja on the telephone on Thursday.

Isah, a close associate of President Muhammadu Buhari, was the governorship candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change in Kano State in 2011.

CPC was founded by Buhari to actualise his bid for the Presidency in the 2011 general elections.

The party asked a son of the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, Mohammed, to step down for Isah in the party’s governorship contest.

Isah is the first chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress to be arrested by the EFCC since the Buhari administration started investigation into the $2.1bn arms procurement funds under the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

He was a member of the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee, constituted by Buhari to coordinate the handing over notes by the immediate past administration before the President was inaugurated on May 29, 2015.

The retired general is also believed to be close to a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).

Confirming the arrest of Isah, the EFCC spokesman said, “It is true that the man is with us. That is the much I can tell you.”

The EFCC spokesman did not give details of the arrest.

It was, however, gathered that Isah was picked up by operatives of the commission in Abuja on Wednesday night and detained overnight to respond to issues linking him to the $2.1bn arms purchase fund.

It was learnt that the former MILAD’s arrest might not be unconnected with a “$5m gift” he allegedly received from the former NSA.

A top EFCC source, who confided in The PUNCH, said Isah was invited last week, but failed to honour the invitation of the anti-graft agency.

The source added that the commission had begun quizzing the former military administrator on the possibility that the money might have been given to him by Dasuki from the $2.1bn arms fund.

The source added that nothing had been established, saying Isah’s arrest was to “listen to his own side of the story.”

The source added, “He was invited last week, but he did not honour the EFCC’s invitation. He is being quizzed over the $5m he was alleged to have received from the former NSA. The former military administrator was arrested because he did not honour the invitation of the commission.”

The Chairman of EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, had said, during a meeting with online media managers on Wednesday, that more influential Nigerians would soon be arrested.

Magu had debunked the insinuations that the arrests made so far in the ongoing campaign against corruption were selective, targeting the Peoples Democratic Party leaders and leaving their counterparts in the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“Such accusations have come up a lot, but we work with petitions before us. In fact, I am eager and waiting for something from the other side, but nothing has come so far,” he was quoted as having said.

This Criminal trend actually runs in the family, wonder how these guys were raised by their parents.

Same Arik cancelled my flight from Lagos to Uyo billed for 7:30am without even notifying passengers, d flight later took off at about 1:30pm, a good 6 hours after we ought to have left. Up till now no apologies or message from them.
They run this industry like a molue charter service.

2:0, Sturridge. Is this a good sub by AVB? Only tym will tell.

mikel out, chelsea are no hopers for dis one.

Me thinks chelsea should play with 2 forwards torres on for malouda, to kip the liverepool back busy.

half time, as an Arsenal fan, a draw isn't bad, but am rooting for liverpool dis one.

Me thinks all the criticism about Islamic is a bit unfounded. If I can get a 0% interest loan from any bank, be it ifa or whatever, to run my biz, am down for it, moreover its being practised in England by Islamic Bank of Britain (headquartered in Birmingham) www.islamic-bank.com,  and also in Michigan, United States as University Bank (www.university-bank.com). Why is it that in Nigeria we want to always throw away the baby with the bath water, not wanting to care about what benefits us as a people but instead what benefits a section or a religion. Usury is also forbidden in Christianity but cos' of the greed of a few we don't even see the advantage of  the 0% interest banking system.  By the way I am a Christian.
