You lack knowledge !

The funniest part is that there are security manning the underutilized building 247, they won't even allow you to drive through the street to link up with Marina from Broad street, they are always closing the road.

What exactly are banks head offices doing in Lagos? Isn't Abuja the capital of Nigeria.

When you have your own banking biz, site it in Borno.
All departments listed for transfer are monitoring/supervisory dept, not the policy dept.
The movement will definitely reduce cost as CBN is having an underutilized office in Lagos, for every time the CBN officials leave fct to check any bank out of state, they get estacode, logistics and other payments

Lol, na so I buy plantain chips wey no dey get excessive pepper because I don't like pepper, myself and some guys with a foreigner dey the car, we just heard heavy sneezing, everyone turned towards the foreigner, wetin happen?? He said it was too spicy, everyone was just like what is spicy, e no even get any pepper

if you are a Yoruba man may that money never come back

What if he is a Yoruba man that never supported the ruling party, or an Igbo man that supported the ruling party?
Some of una and sense......na parallel lines, dey no dey meet

U no nice, I skipped "formal" and "am" as normal error people dey make at times, but the "appointmented" shock me, I no even sabi pronounce am.

SE has low IGR so it will help the State governments increase their revenue.

The man even referred to himself as among those that should be taxed more.

Why do you people just like to create issues out of nothing?

I'm surprised at people's reaction oo, state determines property tax and it goes to them 100%, so why are people angry?

I don't get, do people really hoard fiat note?
What's the purpose since its value erode with time.
If you are hoarding a FX note that is old, aboki go discount the price for you

Chai, just two months, Dem don accuse you of embezzlement, wetin go come happen if you use 4yrs??

SimeonOTC:


Thanks very much for this.

Please backup am I getting? Another battery or another p.o.s?

Another POS, you can get Nomba(formerly Kudi) Mpos

With about 16states that I've visited in Nigeria, this guy is the best rep so far. I will drive through Surulere at night and I won't be scared of any unknown, virtually all roads are tarred with working street light courtesy of him

This is Lagos Island. The house/land was probably divided up to that point, if the future heirs should decide they don't want to share rent again, na to divide the house again and get something more ridiculous.
The beauty of that area is that it's still the natives that own those buildings, they don't sell them.
Na the tenant I pity most, heat go choke lots of them

SimeonOTC:


Good day sir, please I recently got a Palm pay pos, please what review can you give about it??

I'm not really familiar with their terminal, however, if we are to use their app connectivity and success rate to judge, then the terminal won't be an issue.
However, considering it's an Android terminal, don't be using it's hotspot to connect your phone or another terminal, it drains the battery faster and makes it weak, which won't serve well again irrespective of how long you charge it.
Kindly get a backup from service providers that demand isn't too high so you don't get stranded if they fumble

I don't know what you mean by durable, if you mean gadget, most of the terminals are manufactured by the same company in China, so durability is the same.
In terms of performance, I don't know about Opay terminal, I only use the business app, while I use Moniepoint and Payforce by Fairmoney terminal and they both have good network.
The reason why you see most people using Moniepoint is just marketing, they understood the market when they came, they worked on limitations set by existing service providers like Opay and the likes in respect to ease of getting terminal, opay will require about 60k or 80k to get a terminal, Moniepoint reduced it to 20k, before anyone could get what is going on, every corner shop is having a POS terminal, since it's serving purpose, no point going for others even when they reduced their pricing

This is what we called rich man use his money to buy wahala

akpumping7720:

Chaiiiii. You too Sabi. Awon old moneybags!!!

You know sey there are some people wey you no dey ask for money, you fit meet dangote and ask for money sey you wan set up biz, you fit tell otedola sey you need money, but those 3, na another world them dey, dey might not be the richest by Forbes, but wealth plus power dey, and you no go ever hear them talk for news. Dey rarely attend functions sef

Lol, the aide get mind. He probably doesn't know Okoya.
Okoya, Arthur Eze, Dantata, a trio I want any of them to just hold me by the hand and say this is my boy, take care of him, put him through the process

If you are not mentally ready for marriage, don't marry.
Your wife is your wife, your mum is your mum, none should replace the other or occupy the other's space, when that start happening, you start having problem.

Hmmmmmm, mine na miracle.
The Dr advised my wife to go for inducement, the advice was painted as a btw statement so she never thought it to be immediately, not knowing that it was noted in her file.
They still gave a following week appointment for someone scheduled for next day inducement. When she got there the following week, they said there can't be inducement again as she is overdue.
Booked for CS, admitted her overnight to be done the next morning, wife fell into labour midnight, delivered in the morning before they started moving the expectant mum's to theater.
Everything was just God, from conception to delivery, the baby was a miracle

tivta:



Seun I'm highly disappointed in you. You can't claim not to see most tribal threads come from pro TINUBU supporters, from hungerbad, Leo, seunmes etc. well no matter how hard we try Nigeria will always be divided along tribal lines.
Enjoy nairaland fame while it lasts.
Least I forget if mynd44 is still a mod after all these, then you are truly tribalistic...

Be calming down and get your facts correctly.
Hungerbad is late.

After collecting £499, ok ooo

tesppidd:
I had thought so as well.
He was already acting governor based on the fact that the governor had no "capacity" to continue.
Technically he was already governor!

So why the hurry to get him sworn in as substantial?

I could understand the hurry if everything was normal and a sitting governor was in office and suddenly died and there was no power handover.
Then there would be need to swear in immediately.
I understand there must be no vaccum.

But this case is different, he was already "governor"

Does the constitution spell it out this way,?
Or was there another lacuna and so the state had to assume that he must be sworn in immediately?

The governor wasn't officially declared incapacitated, that's why he was the acting, if he was officially declared incapacitated, the deputy would have been made a substantive gov.
Since death can't be played politics with unlike sickness that you can hide and still claim you are good, death means no way to come back, so the deputy becomes the gov.
The constitutional provision is in case of incapacitation, death or impeachment, deputy takes over immediately

ElSudani:
Is it mandated by the constitution that he must be sworn in right after the passing of the governor much like in case of the U.S president?
If not, since he is already the acting governor, I think he should have declared a few days of mourning then announce the swear in date after that.
The haste in taking the position doesn't sit down well with me as a person.

Yes, immediately it's confirmed that there is no capacity to continue, he takes over

He might not be getting the ticket if he aspires for the post later on. He is showing desperation without restraint

Whaooo, nice one.
I just had a self reflection now and discovered that I've not seen wig on my wife head since I've known her her, 7yrs plus 3yrs of marriage.

I knew this was the case. All Palace has a ceremonial royal chairs they give to dignitaries to sit on.
People just love believing what they want, not to prove any fact

You forgot SAP and Annulment

tope777:

*And one school of thought will want me to believe that the worst civilian rule is better than the best military regime.*

He did all these in 8 years, paid fuel subsidy, maintained a good dollar to Naira exchange and paid pension/ salary to workers.

But after 24 years of democracy, we are worst of as a nation.

Bluntemperor:


IBB and History:
History can and will never be kind to him because,he dribbled Nigerians for 8- good years, trying to hold a Non- existing and Fraudulent Democracy,when he knew,like other African Dictators- he was transition to Nowhere! Is that Patriotism on his part?
- Nigeria became a shit in the eyes of the World - the moment he single -handedly Annulled a Free and Fair elections of MKO Abiola, that he wasted NBillions and could not account for it because the CBN was directly under his de-Facto leader and yet Could Not hand over Power -----------because of his Greed, but when the Political heat was on him,he ran to Abuja and when the place turned to Political arena,he Babangida-quickly ----device the Interim- Government( I G) and wrote an illegal notes to the Army ' that if the Interim Govt of Earnest Shonekan ( a Political novice- aman who had served as a Private executive all his life) failed,the Army should allow the Most Senior Member to take over'.
•That was how the Abacha - the dictator and now Mr looter, got to the Political landmines,by ensuring- no politicians will ever get back to Power but he himself was Looting all Nigerian money and resources by stacking them abroad- as he became a maximum leader!
-Is that the person that is seeking validation of his horrendous dismal performances in Nigeria Polity?
-He destroyed the Naira - at a time the World was having Nigeria as a Nation with Credibility,his disdain for illegalities started when he suddenly introduced -SFEM( Second Tier Foreign Exchange Market) and when it was not going well and the World Bank and IMF could not agreed with his economic parameters,he went to introduce SAP( Structural Adjustment Programs) that was never discussed, -overnights,into Nigeria and the Naira never regained its Strength since then!
e g .I know of a Taxi man who sold his vehicle for N79,000 then, thinking he could buy another but the very week of SAP,the same old vehicle became Costly for a Price of N 349,000. and till today, that man never recovered!
-Babangida did committed so much attrocities - and his dribbling of Nigerian, especially the Political Class,led Abacha to do worse and ensured that Abiola's Mandate , and even the Wife( Kudirat ) and the Whole Family Businesses perished!
Is that a man some indomie generationy wants to tell us the story about?
-Let him go and tell his story to those people that benefited,for here is a General that would have earned his name in Gold- but they were copying the othe African leaders like- Mobutu Seseseko of Zaire,the Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe,etc- all these people destroyed there Countries!
He couldn't fix Power- Light under NEPA,he couldn't fix Water for Nigerians but destroyed the Political landscape - with many deaths due to Nigerians,who were demonstrating ,for re-validation of June 12 then,with many, dying on the roads,by traveling back to their Regions and States-- thinking it's over for Nigeria,just because of activities and actions of
Babangida and Abacha -as leadersr and they want history to be kind to them? How?
-The lesson of Power is to impact on the lives of the Populace and know how to quit,when the ovation is loud!
•General Murtala Mohammed few years was impactful and so also was the retired General Abubakar of Minna- because he handled Power back over to the Civilians in 1979.
The rest,as they say is history!
Another Truth again is the Army ,all over the World,was never meant he to rule,as they were never trained in Management of men and resources but Security!
Let nobody come to Social Media - to derail and distort Nigerian History for us!
Truth has no further Investigation!

You forgot SAP and Annulment

Weyrey, one of your best achievement is traveling round the country.
Jona go come and form leaving the post after losing election, Bubu go form dishing out orders after he was shocked but no one respected the orders, Tinubu go for removing subsidy.

I doubt it's the drug, you are a welder on medication due to illness, getting yourself exposed to such level of noise can trigger it.
I avoid noise and too bright lightening whenever I'm ill

thesicilian:
I can understand it's a crime buying the banks (or anything else for that matter) from ill-gotten wealth.
However what I need clarification for is this: is it ethically or legally wrong to buy a bank in distress if you are the CBN Governor, assuming you plan to follow due process?

Yes, it's wrong. Regulator should not be an Operator

fsb:
As usual, things in Nigeria never make sense. The same banks dont have cash for customers but somehow POS operators can provide cash.

Because POS operators now source cash from other sources, eg fuel station, malls, etc.
