PoliticsRe: CBN: Cash Withdrawal Limits Will Tame Electronic Fraud by othermen:
Okay, but the fraudsters can still use online wallets.

The CBN assumption appears to be fraud through cards. Fraudsters have facilities to move fund around. At the ATM, you can do a transfer above the daily limit with your card, the POS is a payment platform, you can equally do that much transfer. If your details or card is compromised, this policy won’t protect you as such; except the CBN is referring to petty thieves.

What others do, they don’t even do transfers to multiple bank accounts of those around them; all they need do, is use such wallets to purchase items online. The platforms are instantaneous.

fraudsters withdrawing cash or stealing money at night, has always been limited.

The CBN attempt to muddle the fact sends a dangerous signal, they may not know what they are doing. The policy is not a limit on your daily spending, but a limit on the physical cash you are allowed to withdraw for the day. You can do transactions in the millions on online platforms, so can fraudsters.

The Emefiele led CBN has been naive in its policies, they assume the actors they are dealing with or protecting Nigerians from , have limited brains and resources. Policies have to be well-thought and holistic and such assumptions as they have had, re-examined.

Hon Kazuare recently provided information concerning how these policies are embedded in self-interest and how a deputy governor within the CBN escalated corruption involving Emefiele by whistle blowing. The media didn’t pick the story, because of Emefiele’s influence. The point however is, if there are such internal ramblings in our apex financial institution; they certainly cannot be optimal in their policy delivery.

Also, it may be the case that many of the key workers were rewarded with their job role or position as a result of their ethnicity or contact. It’s such contacts they serve, not Nigerians. For years, CBN can’t even regulate its hiring issues by getting on board- at least the best economics graduate students across the country universities. This don’t help them to make holistic decisions or be able to implement such decisions, even when their intentions are noble.
TravelRe: First Time Traveller: How Can I Book A Local Flight In Nigeria? by othermen: 11:35am On Dec 18, 2022
Airpeace, Green Africa, United Nigeria, and Dana air go to Owerri; at least those are the ones I am aware of. For Tuesday, 20th. The only available one is Dana Air, and it's 80,000 as of now. https://secure.flydanaair.com/bookings/flight_selection.aspx

Alternatively, you can use Green Africa, but then the flight is for tomorrow. It is currently at #61,500. https://www.greenafrica.com/en-us/

You have to understand, that in the next hour, Dana Air and Green Africa, may no longer be available as well. Or the price may have gone higher. So, be timely about your decision. You can easily book by yourself on the website.

SportsRe: Adidas Collapses As Leo Messi's Argentina Jerseys Are Soldout Worldwide by othermen:
how did adidas ''collapse''? that they can't meet demands is not evidence of collapse or evidence of any extraordinary success of the jersey.

Ronaldo Man Utd jersey sold a record 60 million dollars only 24hrs after his return was announced. how much has been made from Messi's?

Ronaldo is also Adidas. They couldn't as well meet demands. but then Marca knows, we will all click on this story anyway, whether Ronaldo or Messi.

NB
Manchester United jersey is produced by Adidas. Ronaldo’s sponsorship deal with Nike or whoever is personal. He still has to wear his team jersey. Messi had to wear Nike Barcelona jersey as well, despite having a sponsorship deal with Adidas. but these sponsorship deals are personal, their teams may have a very different sponsor from the players. For folks on here to be ignorant, and yet abusive- is some insane asylum bit.

EducationRe: How Do I Live Among This Children In The University?? by othermen: 7:17pm On Dec 16, 2022
Age is not always an evidence of maturity. Don’t be too bothered about such. If you find the boy offensive, avoid encounters with him. Same with the girl.

This does not mean that you should be arrogant or you ignore either of them, if they reach out. Don’t go about becoming bitter and angry. You would figure your own circle, they can be young, yet respectful and cordial.

If you carry yourself in a dignified manner, you can become so much more to this young boys. It is you that have to improve your absorber in how such interactions offend you. If you want respect anywhere, earn it. But the way to earn it, is not by alienating yourself, or by coercing fear. It’s by being responsible, by being cordial. Spend more time developing yourself. Studying and praying.
BusinessRe: Banks Told To Write Down Serial Number Of New Naira Notes During Withdrawal by othermen:
The money laundered is usually proceed of crime. If you have a business that involves the movement of high volumes of cash, it's pretty easy to navigate all of this nonsense. The greatest launderers are the owners of our financial institutions.

This is probably pointless. but is it?? and what would I rather they do?? Will the cash be tracked?? Have they thought such policies as they have, might likely increase the hoarding of cash? but all the way, if it will curb corruption, Great actually!!!

HealthRe: Pamela Onyeagusi & Justice Zainab Bashir Clash As Cosmetic Surgery Goes Wrong by othermen:
The judge wanted to look better. There is nothing wrong with that, absolutely nothing.

Though there is risk in the quest to look better, things can get worse.

In Nigeria, in the course of your surgery, phone torchlight may be used, because no fuel after the surgery has commenced. In the theater, a cockroach can come through the surgical opening, and then thousands have died from such simple medical procedures, all in the name of avoidable complications. You cannot even afford an autopsy, and they all mostly watch each others back, to ensure you cannot get justice.

This judge should have signed some paper therein, like the rest of us, mitigating the surgeons liability. but of coz, she is more learned than the rest of us.

The judge has the financial resource to stop things from becoming utterly terrible. I hope she continuously has the power to intimidate and recover the amount she has lost and spent.

There are several others, who just die away after such botched procedures, because they know they will be judged and tormented to death by the public ridicule from hypocrites.

I hope others providing similar procedures are also checked.

It’s a good thing the provider that did the procedure is brought to accountability.
PoliticsRe: Whistleblower Policy Has Lost Momentum - Zainab Ahmad by othermen: 6:00pm On Dec 14, 2022
If people are concerned about their safety. Any new legislation is useless unless it can assure the safety of the whistleblower. The next question is , how. Perhaps relocating the whistleblower and the family. This is a stress most won’t even desire.

Also, the Buhari administration failed Nigeria in its fight against corruption. It was mostly all noises and dramas. Rochas for instance is all good.
BusinessRe: Ahmad, Lametek Get Presidential Nod As CBN Deputy Governors For Second Term by othermen: 11:13am On Dec 08, 2022
Everything is going backwards, but the president is clueless. Nothing changes. Not even some pretending. And we have a senate that during the screening, all that is on their mind is getting the cvs of those in their powerful circle across- for recruitment. Whether these ones are also competent is another question.

These people skills are hardly in their field competence than in their human relation skills.
In the current position, some of them may yet be limited in the range of actions they can take. If a solution to our forex troubles affect a Tinubu; then we must forgo such solution, so that we can retain this office, when he is president.

Sadly, the critical position is a reward and competence is secondary to the attainment of it.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: I Have Issues With My Security Guard by othermen: 7:19am On Dec 08, 2022
You just have to put yourself deliberately in situations where you can exercise your weakness, and with practice, it becomes strength. Your voice may be shaky today, but if you command again and know exactly what you have to say by practicing before hand, you would definitely get better. Even the best commanders once had such shaky voices.

As to your subordinate undermining your authority. This happens everywhere. Being a leader, is about reconciling your unit, to trust in your leadership. You have to convince them. You could have had that conversation with the affected lady privately, conveying your objection or reservations about her attending the event, and how doing such goes against the company policies and can get her fired. If you have done this, perhaps, there’d be little to do with the rest of your subordinates on the matter.
Don’t antagonize your subordinates, you are supposed to coordinate them, they are meant to support you. If you go down the road of the dogs or pigs, you would get torn apart or muddled.

This is all an opportunity for you to learn, I hope you use it judiciously. The little skills you learn from navigating this successfully; can certainly be the basis of subsequent leadership opportunities for you.

CrimeRe: RRS Recovers Suspicious Car In Lagos (Photo) by othermen: 3:33pm On Dec 06, 2022
Nigeria has happened to the occupants. Either they were kidnapped, or the vehicle was borrowed for criminal activities and then abandoned. Whichever it is, Nigeria happened to the occupants. Nigeria happened to the individuals that are the victims, Nigeria happened to the individuals that are the perpetrators.

Yet, we want a government who feels he has no obligation to talk to us or to address the Nigeria press.

We will all be affected by the choices we make. If you choose not to vote, then don’t have a family member that will have to use Lagos-Ibadan expressway, then never have any condition that will require you getting emergency healthcare, then never have any family member in any federal school.

The insecurity in Lagos is only getting started. This terrible economy has driven a lot to crime; and yet you don’t mind a continuation of it.

Continue.
EducationRe: UNN SUG Directs Students To Stop Payment Of School Fees, Shuts Down Portal by othermen: 9:53am On Dec 05, 2022
When the next administration hands off university as Buhari has insinuated. UNN will charge a fee much more than covenant university currently does. ASUU has endeavored to ensure this is not the case. Majority of ASUU members are currently in debt, others have had to remove their children from schools, families have had to change neighborhoods as they cannot afford rent; in all of these, but ultimately, Ngige has broken the union’s spirit and now there is none to protect the students from what is to befall them.
CrimeRe: 'demonic Journalism' - Nigerian Military Blasts Reuters Over Feature Stories by othermen: 10:07am On Dec 03, 2022
If Reuters has a story, they have a reputation that many would believe, it wasn't concocted from the air, it had its sources. They probably would even get first-hand stories.

This press release could have addressed the intent of such sources, and what the gain might be for detractors of the Nigerian army, this release could have addressed why such accusation or vilification might be projected.

The army's reputation is clear. Their participation in the endsars protest, what they did with the followers of El-zakzaky...all this evidence put the army at a disadvantage in their bid to convince that it's incapable of such a ridiculous claim.

Again, I think this press release could have addressed the matter in a much more intelligent-driven way. To dismiss Reuters, you should create a motive, to justify why their report is biased and dangerous to the progress the army has made; and why the enemies of the nation may lend themselves to Reuters to destroy the army's reputation.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: FG To Sanction FIRS, NNPC, Other Mdas For Backdoor Recruitment by othermen: 9:10am On Dec 03, 2022
That is why a CBN does not have the intelligence that is had in the parallel market. That is why the economy of our country is in jeopardy.

Private organizations seeking to exploit the system, have rigorous recruitment processes to hire the best minds. These companies, then do the nation a fool; taking advantage of inefficiency and incompetency in our public sectors.

Again, in our government institutions, our best minds should represent us and we are where we are today as a nation because we have a lot, there, through uncompetitive processes. A lot, that should not even be near these vital institutions.
CrimeRe: Fuel Queue Worsens As Petrol Sells For N300 Per Litre In Ibadan by othermen: 9:11am On Nov 30, 2022
The cost of food is at an all time high. The minimum wage can only buy half a bag of rice. Poverty level is at its highest; yet the NLC is nowhere to be found.

The cost of transport is at an all time high. More than half of the middle class have dropped into poverty. Buhari hates the opposite; and yet the NLC cannot even cough.

Ayuba Wabba will end his term, and his glaring failures at the leadership helm of the NLC will never get overshadowed.

EducationRe: Please Is First Class Really Worth It(i Need Help) by othermen:
I think your question should be if education has a better worth compared to crime.

If that is giving you sleepless nights, I think you should be depressed that it’s giving you sleepless night.

Whether, you make a first class, your geology lecturers are not as rich as your yahoo friends.

The fact that you reference your yahoo friends indicate that you likely are not even considering a legitimate means of earning, and you are not bothered about your livelihood but you want only to live large and oppress like your friends.

The truth is you are not alone. Most people want wealth too and we are not a righteous nation.

So do yahoo plus too, to be richer. Even to be more richer, do kidnapping and armed robbery. That’s the way to go.
Or
after you study geology, you want to be unemployed like many before you, compelled by the labor market to do a masters and end up as a contract staff in one bank, paid slave wageshuh

Well, as a teller, you can steal plenty money and become very wealthy.

If there is any inclination to crime in your mind at this young age, that should be what you should be concerned about, but listen to Portable song ZAZU, it will help you banish the weakness that is holding you back from waywardness and crime.

Stay on with those friends so they can corrupt you thoroughly. Help them recruit girls from your class, for ritual.

At the end, you pay your tithe and buy musical instruments for your church and then join politics.

You would not end up in prison my dear. Only fools do.

And your victims, they may have an heart attack or have their lives short, but you will give some of your ill gotten wealth to charity and it will be purer and you will be wealthy.
PoliticsRe: Bola Tinubu Donates ₦‎100 Million To Victims Of Kogi Flood by othermen: 9:24am On Nov 04, 2022
This is a loan to the people of the state, the interest he is set to receive on such loan, will be in the misappropriation of fund meant for the state.

He would recover in hundred folds, every single kobo he has to expend during this election.

For this 100 million, he would take 1billion that can be used for that state development next year.

With so much spending in order to win an election, expecting a candidate that is not corrupt is expecting the impossible.

And it would be so for decades as one of the most important diagnosis of a Tinubu or Atiku presidency, is that elections would become meaningless.
PoliticsRe: FG Pays ASUU Half Salary For October by othermen:
After nine months, The FG posture is not to help students who have lost a year, to get a better motivated workforce.

The best of their lecturers have resigned and taken on better opportunities abroad.

The ones left would not abandon the means or businesses that have sustained them through the strike.

The full attention of their lecturers is probably forever lost.

The FG would recruit from the large labor market or retired civil servants if they must. You foolishly defend them. No competent individual would take an offer where the employer has reneged on agreement and is willing to sentence the employee to a 9month without a means, for their personal living or those of their dependents.

No competent individual would, when ASUU’s crime has been only to admonish FG on its failure to implement agreements he is a party to

These ones know the FG has no incentive to address any issue in so far NIC has offered itself as an instrument to nullify the ability of ASUU to negotiate change and better conditions on behalf of its members and for students.

And so the universities will continue to deteriorate, unmotivated staffs will be the universities lots, Again, what was the year sacrificed for? not for a return to well equipped laboratories or good infrastructured universities but to deteriorated universities and a workforce whose inner spirit is damaged, susceptible to corruption to augment his livelihood.

His colleagues know, however they love this country and would have love to remain and impact; this country can't protect them, it can't protect you.

They are applying for teaching positions everywhere else.

What if, beyond his classrooms, he had spoken against the irresponsibility of the government, its duty to secure our lives, and its failure? He has!!! Perhaps he wasn’t loud enough.

Christianity EtcRe: How Nigerian Prophets Gave 15 Fake Prophecies – Report by othermen:
False prophets are not the property of any one denomination.

If you seek to find corruption in the Vatican, you will find such there.

Finding such, shouldn’t invalidate the effort of countless others and perhaps many more, who are honest and endeavoring to be true to their own God.

The intent of the reporter is not to expose what was prevalent in the church. As It’s not news worthy or agenda worthy, an indication that before encountering such rogues, there were perhaps others who were only forthcoming and genuine in their concerns about the issues he claim to be bedeviled. They did not pretend to have a more superior awareness. Now, such people were not sought nor reported about, only those that sustain or assures the hypothesis of the investigation.

Is the investigation good for us or for our knowledgehuh Certainly. Certainly, there is no warning in the report, that is not already in most religious teachings. The Bible for instance, fervently warns about false prophets and admonishes us to test every spirit.

Is the investigation good for the church of God? Hopefully. Hopefully, the leadership at the identified churches can implement controls to remove the wolves that we think are shepherds.

In the vineyard of God, we should find such prophets that are wolves; and while they increase daily, we are yet, duty bound as Christians to pray for our churches and prophets than we should participate in the mockery of the church or its prophets. So while you assimilate this, do remember too, that your responsibility also involves participating in the elimination of such.

Finally, one should not abandon the church to the lots or flee from the church in a bid to flee from such false prophets; for those who truly are endeared to God and the teachings of the Bible, it’s easy to stay and fight and defend the church while acknowledging that the Bible already warned, that false prophets in the vineyard of God shall abound, but they that know the lord shall not fall victims.

Again, these churches also have good and honest prophets too.
