nice write up

good information

HOW TO UNCOVERED FUNDS FROM A DEAEASED'S BANK ACCOUNT

I noticed the reoccurring misconception of the next of kin. I will like to address some of these misconceptions and how to recover such funds (to the best of my knowledge).

THIS IS FOR PERSONS WHO DIED INTESTATE (WITHOUT LEAVING BEHIND A VALID WILL)

1: Who is a next of kin (NOK)?

The NOK is the closest living (mostly) blood relative to an individual. For some people, it could be their spouse, parent, siblings, children…even friends.

2: What is the NOK entitled to?

NOK is just a contact person, he/she is NOT AUTOMATICALLY ENTITLED TO THE DECEASED’S ESTATE

Emphasis on automatically because there are situations where the NOK would eventually double as the BENEFICIARY.

3: Who is a BENEFICIARY?

A beneficiary is someone who receives all or part of the deceased's estate.

4: What then is the NOK for?

You might be wondering, since the person won’t be given your funds without paperworks, why fill that space in your Account opening forms? Well, the NOK is that person to be contacted in event of emergencies or whenever the need arises. It shouldn't be a minor.

PROCEDURES TO RECOVER FUNDS FROM A DECEASED'S BANK ACCOUNT;

A:—The survivor(s) to the deceased should head to the Probate Registry in a High Court to apply for an administration of deceased estate/properties.

This application must be accompanied by a DEATH CERTIFICATE and can be done IN PERSON OR THROUGH A LEGAL PRACTITIONER .

The process to get the LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION is very much the same across states, though there might be slight differences.

Application must contain the following;

-Full names of deceased.
-Date of death of deceased.
-Last residence before death.
-Name of proposed administrators

You will be guided on every other form to fill or required documents and identification.

Persons that can apply for the letter of administration are generally called NOKs and are classified in this heirarchy;

– Surviving spouse(s) of the deceased
– Children of the deceased
– Parents of the deceased
– Brothers or sisters of the deceased of full blood or the children of such sibling.
– Brother or sister of the deceased of half-blood or the children of such sibling.
– Grandparents of the deceased
– Uncles and aunts of full blood or their children

B :—The Probate Registry would give you a letter of confirmation to be taken to banks,
financial houses as well as stockbrokers the deceased shared business relationships with. This will enable them disclose the deceased's financial standing as of that date.

C:— Return the confirmation to the Probate Registry. They will add up the deceased’s balances and apply their charges. You will be required to make payments. After payments, the paperwork for you to be administrator would be concluded.

D:—Upon issuance of the Letter of Administration, it should be taken to all the (SUSPECTED) banks where the deceased had accounts for claims. The beneficiary can then decide to open an estate account to move the funds or take it cash. When he/she opts for the latter, the bank would issue a bank draft.

NOTE:

>>2 guarantors (preferably with landed properties) would be required to fill some documents, to support their application to the probate registry, before the letter of administration can be issued.

>>The process could take some time because publication would be made in the gazette or newspaper. This is to give any interested person the opportunity to object and file a caveat to the grant of letter of administration to the applicant.

>>Objection may be raised within specified period for filing a caveat. In the absence of any, the letters of administration would be granted.

>>There are various fees to be paid before its application is evaluated and approved.
However, once approved by the Probate Registry, an estate fee of 5-10% (depending on the state) of the estate's value is paid to the State Government where the Letter of Administration is made and approved.

>>Is there a statute of limitation on filing for the estate of a dead relative? If there is, how long is it?

No, there isn’t. Whenever the relatives are up to it, they would be given the funds upon presentation of necessary documents.
>>What happens when the relatives do not know all the deceased’s bank accounts?

In this era of BVN, the relatives can state this request at the Court. They would help with an order mandating the bank to make known all accounts linked to the deceased.

the family/next-of-kin/administrators should engage a skilled lawyer to do the filing of the application with the probate registry.
They would also need 2 guarantors (preferably with landed properties) to fill some documents, to support their application to the probate registry, before the letter of administration can be issued.

12 WARNING SIGNS YOU’RE DEALING WITH AN EVIL PERSON

While it’s generally comforting to believe that people are inherently good with infrequent minor lapses in character and willpower, there are other individuals who just prove this philosophy wrong.
Have you ever met people who were completely inconsiderate to those around them? People who had no problem hurting other people’s feelings and using others’ weaknesses to their advantage?
These are pretty obvious hints of vile behavior, but sometimes it comes in the form of micro aggressions so subtle you wouldn’t even think it has any malice.

Below are 12 tell-tale signs that the person you’re dealing with knows no kindness:

1) They Have A Habit Of Lying

Lying can be an altruistic pursuit used to protect people and prevent conflicts from escalating.
This is simply not the case with evil people. More often than not, these people will lace lies together just because they feel like juicing up a story, even if it means adding details that didn’t exist or speaking on behalf of someone without consent.

When caught, they will either lie some more and provide countless reasons to validate that lie, or just ignore you completely.
Bottom line is, these people lie to your face because they do not value your trust or your friendship.

2) They Deliberately Provoke And Mislead People

Successfully lying and being smug about it is one thing, but manipulating other people’s feelings is a whole different kind of sinister.

The problem is that these provocations and white lies are done so subtly you wouldn’t even recognize them.
Take this for example: you skipped a day of school or work because of a family emergency.

When you asked how your professor or boss took your absence, the person will blow things out of proportion because they want to worry you. You end up feeling guilty and anxious, even though there is no reason to be.

3) They Are Unsympathetic

Needless to say, heinous people are heartless. This is mostly rooted in their strong drive for self-preservation, which empowers them to commit selfish acts at the expense of other people.
Sometimes, their apathy shows in everyday interactions. Tell-tale signs include cruelty to those in need.

Have you ever met a person who openly makes fun of the poor? A certain race, maybe? Complete discrimination of the disabled?
These three tendencies show that the person you are dealing with is not only immature but also incredibly unkind.

4) They Are Manipulative

The only time evil people will care about you is when they’re considering how you fit into their selfish plans.
Evil people are incredibly manipulative, and the bummer thing is you won’t realize it until the deed is done.

A classic example is when a person bails on you so you can complete an activity by yourself. Before the actual activity, people like this can mislead you into thinking that they will be good partners.
They will goad you into sharing ideas and feign reliability. When it’s time to put in some hours, they will create countless excuses and make you feel horrible for confronting them.

5) They Stick With You When It’s Convenient
For Them

Friends live busy lives, and that’s okay. We all have distant friendships that are easily rekindled when reunited.

The main difference is that real friends do come and go, but they also stay when you need them the most. They understand the importance of celebrating your successes as grieving for your losses.
The evil person, on the other hand, doesn’t care about your sentiments. They come and go according to what is convenient for them.

Gestures like venting out problems to you, loaning money from you, and asking favors may appear friendly at first but will eventually reveal themselves as non-mutual gestures.
Soon enough, you will realize that these friendly benefits aren’t intermutual, so don’t count on anyone reciprocating it.

6) They Don’t Respect Your Time

Inconvenience is one of their strongest suits, especially when it comes with messing up with your time.
Have a paper you need to finish? A report you need to submit? A family dinner you need to attend? Forget all those because this friend will demand 100% of your attention.

And when you don’t give it, this inconsiderate person will pull the guilt card until you feel obligated to spend your precious time doing whatever they want to do.

7) They Are Secretive About Their Identity

Introverts are pretty secretive people too, but it’s not like you don’t know anything about them.
In fact, once you get closer to introverts, they will start trusting you with more personal information and make sure that you can comfortably share sensitive information on your own volition.
Bad friends don’t care about sharing personal information. Intimacy is the last thing they want to share with other people.
As part of their manipulative schemes, they can portray a different version of themselves in front of you and other people.

They Will Control What You Do

Some people are just inherently bossy, mostly because they are perfectionists who prefer handling things alone.
The difference between perfectionists and control freaks is their complete refusal to reach compromise.

Thought friendships were a two-way street? Not on their watch. Forget everything you know about meeting halfway because there is only one way to do things: their way.

These people are so inconsiderate that they want complete control over any situation, making sure that every little part of a social event or any activity can be used to their advantage. These kinds of people are inherently toxic and cumbersome to deal with.

9) They Will Deny The Facts

It’s not a secret that evil people are prone to lying and scheming, especially because they know they can get away with it.
Individuals like these tend to readily assume superiority over everyone they interact with, therefore undermining other people’s ability to tell if they’re telling the truth.

Once caught, these people will do everything they can to get out of a hairy situation. They will drag other people’s names if they have to and fabricate scenarios in order to justify wrongdoing.

10) They Will Give Misleading Information

Deliberately giving misleading information is their creative spin on lying. Technically it’s not lying if they didn’t give the right information in the first place, right?
It’s similar to giving you exaggerated stories or inventing negative anecdotes in order to create unpleasant feelings in you.

Whether it’s leaving out crucial information, juicing up crucial stories, or inventing hear-say, these people will use their creative juices to create bizarre information to inspire feelings of anger, guilt, and sadness to others without remorse.

11) They Will Manipulate The Truth

As inconsiderate individuals, they will have no problems spinning a story if it means getting out of trouble (or putting someone in trouble) or gaining an easy advantage.
You will never catch them owning up to their mistakes, creating different loops to escape any sort of punishment.

ore often than not, they will play the victim card in order to avoid blame, leaving you vulnerable and guilty in the process.

12) They Constantly Undermine Those Around Them

Extreme confidence is a unique characteristic among evil people. They tend to fall back on stereotypes when interacting with people and treat them accordingly. They have no respect for individual identities and treat every person they encounter as just another anecdote.

As a result, you will notice that evil people constantly belittle those around them, consciously or subconsciously as a reflection of their inherently high self-esteem.

Individually, these characteristics might seem like just another human flaw. But when most of them are exhibited by a person, you can tell that individuals like that have no capacity to reflect on their actions. They will push forward with force, regardless of who they may push down along the way.

@money wire that is

Hahahaha funny friends thanks

let's eat more garri Hahahaha

@hisgrace very sure indeed

Health benefits of Garri

Garri, or Cassava flakes if you want, is a popular food in Nigeria. One of the most important meals across the nation.

It is one of the most common farm produce in Nigeria. With different forms of processing and manufacturing.

It will interest you to know that as common as the product is, that it has a great health benefits for you.
Here are some of the Health Benefits of Garri:
1. Aids in Digestion

Garri is rich in high fibre content which helps in the digestive health. Garri can be soaked in cold water with milk to make it creamy, and when consumed the fibre content in it helps to make one fuller, helps in quick digestion and sustains one from hunger for some time, and also eliminates the chances of constipation.

Fibre content in garri helps in weight loss as it reduces appetite and as well reduces the chances of other health conditions such as heart and other cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
But in as much as the fibre is good for the digestive system, taking too much of it can cause stomach cramps or bloat.

Cassava contains starch which is known as resistant starch because it doesn’t get absorbed fully in the digestive system, it is beneficial to the body because it helps in removing some of the particles of cholesterol present in the system after it gets attached to them thereby acting like a soluble fibre.
Because of this, eating of garri helps in the reduction of glucose in the blood.

2. Improves Immune System

The contents of most of the minerals and vitamins in garri might be low but it is also a good source for other minerals it contains such as copper and magnesium which help in keeping the immune system healthy.

These minerals also play a vital role as it contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones, nerves and the immune systems.

Some people may not know that while consuming food that has good amount of copper that they are maintaining healthy and functioning nervous system and on the other hand lower the risk of getting osteoporosis.

3. Promote Eye health

Garri also contains the compound known as bakarotennya, this compound helps to prevent blindness. The presence of an important vitamin (vitamin A) in garri helps in the prevention of poor sight as well, as far as it is consumed in moderation.
Most importantly the garri has to be processed well to avoid eye problems which are caused by the cynanide present in not-to-well processed garri especially and when consumed in large quantity and can also irritate the intestinal bowels leading to or worsen the case of ulcer because of its acidic nature.

4. Energizes & Cools The Body

It has been noted from researches that Garri has 360 calories of which 99% is Carbohydrate. It is actually the number of calories in food that measures the unit of energy contained in that food.

Soaked garri known as “garium sulphate” in English provides a certain amount of energy as mentioned above which the human body needs to maintain daily health and life. It also provides a good cooling effect to the body in hot weather when soaked in cold water with milk.

The nutrients in it and the combination of milk in cold water makes it creamy and chill the whole body after consumption. Garri in this form energizes the body quickly and makes the system to relax in a calm way.

5. Prevents Cancer

This might have never been heard of by many people and therefore it may seem too difficult to believe, but this is just a fact you have to note down from reading this article.

Experiments have shown that the presence of B17 vitamin (Amygdalin) and fibre in garri help to stimulate the red blood cell and prevent the stomach from cancerous diseases.

6. Reduce Age-Related Illness

Studies have shown that one cup of garri contains up to 15% of folate that the body requires in a day as well as 47% of the body’s calcium requirement.
Folate has an integral role to play in pregnant women in the aspect of foetal development and helps reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. That is helping to minimize age-related illnesses that progress faster in the human body and may cause the loss of sight.

7. It’s Gluten-Free

Garri is a gluten-free food because it does not contain the combination of proteins found in wheat and related other grain foods.

Therefore, garri can be eaten by people with celiac disease (affects the intestine) or those who are sensitive to gluten. Foods that contain gluten irritate their guts and in most cases damage their small intestine.

Because of this, eating of garri helps in the reduction of glucose in the blood.

2. Improves Immune System

The contents of most of the minerals and vitamins in garri might be low but it is also a good source for other minerals it contains such as copper and magnesium which help in keeping the immune system healthy.

These minerals also play a vital role as it contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones, nerves and the immune systems.

Some people may not know that while consuming food that has good amount of copper that they are maintaining healthy and functioning nervous system and on the other hand lower the risk of getting osteoporosis.

3. Promote Eye health

Garri also contains the compound known as bakarotennya, this compound helps to prevent blindness. The presence of an important vitamin (vitamin A) in garri helps in the prevention of poor sight as well, as far as it is consumed in moderation.
Most importantly the garri has to be processed well to avoid eye problems which are caused by the cynanide present in not-to-well processed garri especially and when consumed in large quantity and can also irritate the intestinal bowels leading to or worsen the case of ulcer because of its acidic nature.

4. Energizes & Cools The Body

It has been noted from researches that Garri has 360 calories of which 99% is Carbohydrate. It is actually the number of calories in food that measures the unit of energy contained in that food.

Soaked garri known as “garium sulphate” in English provides a certain amount of energy as mentioned above which the human body needs to maintain daily health and life. It also provides a good cooling effect to the body in hot weather when soaked in cold water with milk.

The nutrients in it and the combination of milk in cold water makes it creamy and chill the whole body after consumption. Garri in this form energizes the body quickly and makes the system to relax in a calm way.

5. Prevents Cancer

This might have never been heard of by many people and therefore it may seem too difficult to believe, but this is just a fact you have to note down from reading this article.

Experiments have shown that the presence of B17 vitamin (Amygdalin) and fibre in garri help to stimulate the red blood cell and prevent the stomach from cancerous diseases.

6. Reduce Age-Related Illness

Studies have shown that one cup of garri contains up to 15% of folate that the body requires in a day as well as 47% of the body’s calcium requirement.
Folate has an integral role to play in pregnant women in the aspect of foetal development and helps reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. That is helping to minimize age-related illnesses that progress faster in the human body and may cause the loss of sight.

7. It’s Gluten-Free

Garri is a gluten-free food because it does not contain the combination of proteins found in wheat and related other grain foods.

Therefore, garri can be eaten by people with celiac disease (affects the intestine) or those who are sensitive to gluten. Foods that contain gluten irritate their guts and in most cases damage their small intestine.

How to conquer Hepatitis

Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver caused by viruses, alcohol, toxins, drugs and chemicals. Viral hepatitis (caused by the Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, or G virus) is one of the leading causes of death globally, accounting for over one million deaths every year.
Hepatitis B and C infections are responsible for two in every three liver cancer deaths across the world. The most deadly form of hepatitis, Hepatitis B (caused by the Hepatitis B virus) is life-threatening and 100 times more infectious than HIV/AIDs.
The Hepatitis B virus can survive outside the human body for up to seven days and has no cure. It will be assumed that such a deadly disease will be brought center-stage and addressed timely however that is not the case.

It is estimated that over 25 million Nigerians are infected with Hepatitis B and 90 percent of those infected do not know. This reveals the need for widespread awareness, screening and vaccination

against Hepatitis B.

This condition can be self-limiting (or acute) – that is lasting no more than six months following exposure to the viral strain or it can be chronic where it progresses to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer (following more than six months of exposure).

Although the different types of hepatitis may produce similar symptoms and effects on the liver, the severity and length of the diseases are dependent on the virus that causes it.
The virus, which causes Hepatitis B, is found in the blood and body fluids of infected people. It is most often spread among adults through sexual contact, by sharing needles or drug paraphernalia, getting piercings or tattoos in an unsterile environment, or from an HBV-infected mother to her new born during birth (also known as vertical transmission).

Symptoms of Hepatitis B

Most people do not experience any symptoms during the acute infection phase. However, some people have acute illness with symptoms that last several weeks, including:

• Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Dark urine
• Extreme fatigue
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Light-coloured stool
• Fever

A small subset of persons with acute hepatitis can develop acute liver failure, which can lead to death. In some people, the hepatitis B virus can also cause a chronic liver infection that can later develop into cirrhosis (a scarring of the liver) or liver cancer.

Diagnosing Hepatitis B

Blood testing is the only way to diagnose hepatitis B. Many people who have been infected with hepatitis B do not know they are infected so it is important for everyone to get tested.

Preventing Hepatitis B infection

Safe and effective hepatitis B vaccines are available. The vaccination is usually given as three doses over a six-month period. Hepatitis B vaccine is the first anti-cancer vaccine because it prevents liver cancer caused by chronic HBV infection. Also observe the
following:

• Do not share sharp personal care tools like clippers, razor blades, manicure/pedicure sets, needles
• Dispose hospital wastes appropriately
• Observe standard precautions when handling blood or blood products or while administering injections/infusions.
• Avoid casual or unprotected sex especially with multiple partners.
• Always wipe blood spills with detergent or bleach
• Seek immediate help when exposed through any means.
Who should get vaccinated against Hepatitis B?
• Adults with diabetes age 19 through 59 years. Vaccination can be considered in those with diabetes who are age 60 and older.
• Sexually active adults who are not in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship.
• People whose sex partners are infected with hepatitis B.
• Persons seeking evaluation or treatment for a sexually transmitted disease.
• Men who have sex with men.
• Current or recent injection-drug users.
• People who have close household contact with someone infected with hepatitis B.
• Healthcare and public safety workers at risk for exposure to blood or blood-contaminated body fluids on the job.
• People with chronic liver disease, end-stage kidney disease, or HIV infection.
• Residents and staff of facilities for developmentally disabled people.
• Travellers to regions with moderate or high rates of hepatitis B infection.
• Anyone who wishes to be protected from hepatitis B infection.

Is there a cure for Hepatitis B?

There is no cure for this disease and the infected person has to be on medication for the rest of his/her life. It is important for those who are infected with hepatitis B to adhere to medication therapy as poor adherence can lead to the infection getting worse or individuals getting resistant to medication
