Hmmmm I was in pry 3 when I took #10 from mum's purse to buy Mr goody goody chai mum beat me like I'm a criminal used razor blade to cut me put pepper in my eyes and private parts after several pleas from neighbours she left me but continued at night I picked pen (punishment) till dawn. After that incident I don't touch people's things without permission

This is so traumatic

Those standing on the collapsed building, what exactly is their mission?

Sad that it would take 11 years to provide such motorized movement considering his level as an officer. My hope is that the mobility that he gets from it provides him with independence to aspire to a new life.

Why can't Buhari ban senate and house of representatives. We don't need those arms of government when we have a competent president like Buhari. Senate is wasting the country's resources on frivolous unproductive meetings. Demolish the senate just like Senegalese government did

Consider that democracy is a system where there must be representatives of the people at parliament, then it goes to say that this is practically impossible.

Egbon!!!!

The way I'm seeing this result ehn...time to tell SegaLink to open that account oh.

When the case get to court, it depends on the strength of the arguments of the lawyer. The Ikeja Disco officials might have started the fracas. They might be accused of trespass as the have no rights to even enter a private property without authorization. They most likely did not give the owners of the flat notice they are coming into the compound.

Trespass is not an excuse for assault and battery especially when there are no weapons in sight to qualify for self defence.

wirinet:
Which duty are they carrying out? Is it their duty to steal from ordinary suffering Nigerians?
You must be a staff of one of those criminal Disco companies.
Give meters, dem no gree. Provide regular power, babu. But at the end of the month they bring outrageous estimated bills. The worst is that a few days after bringing criminal bills, they would be carrying ladder up and down threatening you with disconnection, even though NERC has given them guidelines for disconnecting customers. Notice must be given before disconnecting a customer, but these criminals would come when no one is at home and just disconnect without notice.

If you know the amount of fraud these Discos are perpetuating, you will advocate for them to be given the China treatment.

Where I work is irrelevant at this time. I have stated that a civil offence has occured and from experience, the next step that the DISCO will embark upon is as I explained.

You might want to also learn to separate the incidence from your sentiments and feelings. It will not affect the outcome of those affected in the brawl.

Assault

Simple. At least one of the family members will end up with a conviction and at least a 3 months jail term. The lady in question fighting the Ikeja Electric staff will be used as a scapegoat for those within that area who might attempt such in the future.

As usual, the neighborhood will send emissaries to the company to BEG but considering that not nipping such acts in the bud with a solid prosecution case, will give many more the effrontery to continue such assault on the staff of the company simply carrying out their duties of disconnection, it is guaranteed that she and any others caught in this heinous act will be prosecuted with the full weight of the law.

Fighting in public is still a civil offence and assault and battery is another. No dey fight DISCO staff, they are only carrying out their duties. Where you might have had a situation where they demanded money from you - record such if possible and forward such to the HEAD OFFICE.

cyberguy72:
but they probed fayose wen he was a sitting governor.....see ur life!

Evidence please. You will be unable to provide any because such never happened.

Fayose was probed after he was impeached not while was a sitting governor.

TheGreenLand:
Oh boy!
We are talking of almost a billion here mehn!

Your maths is wrong.

Assuming an average of N20m per vehicle (very over exagerrated), 25 cars totals N500million

Max for the total haul will be N250million to N350million if the spec of the Mercs are considered.

That 2015 Honda Accord at brand new is $33,000 so I reckon at the moment inculsive of clearing cannot be more than $28,000 max. Apply same pricing to the Corolla and other models.

So not a billion sir. Even at full price, these fraudstars would have successully laundered max N350,000,000 or $1,000,000.

Na scam.

She went to no restaurant. Even the most expensive restaurants cannot rack up a bill on food alone.

Except of course, there's wine/champagne involved.

If on food alone, I doubt it. This looks like a pure scam.

FabulousAutos:
If I spend 33 percent on rent, l doubt if I'll have enough left to attend to other necessities including children's school fees, entertainment, vehicle etc.

I think you misread my comment. The premise is that you do not EXCEED 33%...this is how banks determine if the income of an individual is adequate to cover monthly mortgage payments.

marshborn:
Good evening nairalanders, I earn 100k a month which amounts to 1.2 million per annum.
I just secured an apartment in yaba which cost 300k per year. I chose yaba because of its proximity to the island which is where i work.

I want to know if the rent costs too much for someone of my status.

Am I about to start living above my means? Advice needed.

As a rule of thumb in finance, your rent should not exceed 33% of your income. Going by this rule, 33% of N1,200,000 is N396,000 thus your rent is largely within this bracket and in order.

24...pant business

Selling or removing pant. Which?

TissuePaper:
Hello fellow nairalanders and business men, I was at the verge of making my first million naira early this year but I got carried away by the euphoria and made some bad investments which later backfired and left me bankrupt... However, I'm recuperating now, and I just wanted to know at what age you guys made your first million naira and how you did it or the investments you made.

This is just to serve as a motivation to our young and upcoming brothers and sisters still in the labor market struggling to make ends meet.

Thanks

Once upon a HYIP, I made my first million at age 28. I spent it on my tuition for my MSc. It took me another three years to become one again once I started a business.

I can confirm that making a million and staying a millionaire are totally different things and the later is much more tougher though once you get a hang of it and a formula for it, you certainly will keep growing it. The better you are able to manage the formula, the quicker you can hit the next milestone - tens of million, hundreds of millions and the unicorn billion.

gudluckgreat:
May I ask you a question? Why did God clearly point out to Abraham to never let his descendants marry from the people of Cannan? Were those people created by the devil or is it to say that of all the people in the nations of Cannan, there can never be found a worthy maiden to marry?

In essence, the Bible which you quote but does not apply to 4/5 of the world's population that are non Christian is now absolute?

Sanchez01:
This makes sense. Unfortunately, the Osu Caste system isn't going away anytime soon, not even after the slated date.

The practice is somewhat dogmatic that some so-called religious people have not been able to drop it in the name of their fate.

Save there is a mass mind purge, so many families will still hold this 'tradition' dearly, particularly when it bothers around marriage and fellowship.

I once asked an Igbo colleague at work about her take on the OSU system and why it continues being practiced and from her explanation and all the curses she believes will befall any family that marries into another OSU family, I doubt this cleansing on December 28 will make much of a difference for the fact that the mindset developed by a cultural practice is far more difficult to eradicate than envisaged.

That day ehn, despite she being a staunch Catholic Christian, she was unable to see beyond her own nose that before God, an OSU is as equal to her. She recalled and backed up her belief with several incidences and stories that occurred simply because one of the persons involved is OSU. Nothing I said to counter this, including that God created us all equal before Him, could convince her.

I will ask her in the coming week and I can guess her response - she will never allow her only daughter to marry an OSU - cleansing or no cleansing. I can bet that this mindset is replicated across many homes of other Igbos more out of fear of the unknown (largely unjustified and unfounded).

To get rid of that mindset will take a LONG time - I reckon another 50 years to completely let go.

TimeMachine:
Bravo !

It is the bravast News I have read today!

IPOB was proscribed even though it is a Peaceful Movement of A People. An Indigenous People. It was called a Terorist Organisation and the Leader was 'killed'.

He resurrected at the 'Holy Land' yesterday and the whole Nigeria shake at the News. Marveled that the dreaded Nnamdi Kanu, the Savior of the Igbo People is 'alive' and 'Praying'.

Today, FFK has announced the best news ever.

IPOB will see to it, that not one vote goes from South East and South South to Buhari. Even Peter Obi will "pop champagne" on this piece of burger-like news.

As Election approaches, I can not sit on the fence when it comes to voting, but as always, I will always sit on the fences when it comes to political issues.

Atiku has 'eaten' Nigeria's money, we know. But he has a day job, where he 'turned black money white' and employ a few thousands. But what of the Ancestor in Chief, the Trumpeted Lifeless One, The Herdsman-In-Chief of 150 Cattle Squadron of Daura, that never multiplies ? He has no day job since he was born.

If Nnamdi Kanu has learnt any lesson, from the last debacle, it will be that Peaceful Agitation is good, it is the way of the literate people, but the results almost always ends like the Violent Agitations. Effectlessness. That is my word.

It is time to toe the middle line. Make IPOB a Political Organization for the Biafran People. Configure them to vote for Atiku, if Atiku is serious about Political and Economic Restructuring, then we can see how each zone can keep their resources to themselves and make Abuja a city for the Lifeless Ones.

That is the hope for the New One Nigeria.

Who ever does not agree with me is politically foolish, but I will like to respond to any other opposing view, especially the very ignorant ones.

How do you go to bed at night after typing out this sort of trash?

Alary:
Reno and people commenting here are just fool or something. So when someone is dead the case against him is dead too, is it only travel ban the list is taking about or that there properties that were illegally gotten will be confiscated by the government . So there is nothing wrong in listing a dead person iname because our yam is still with his family .

Glad to see that well thought through comments still exist on Nairaland.

The Executive Order 6 isn't about limiting travelling only, it covers access to stolen properties & assets.

The properties & stolen loot are still in the possession of the dead man's estate. Bank accounts, landed properties, houses will remain restricted from being sold off pending determination that such a case brought against the dead man is valid or not.

Until then, the illicit funds & assets in his estate remains off limits.

greenprince:
Do yourself a favour and keep quiet please. How many corrupt politicians has he successfully prosecuted in three years?

What about Adeosun, Babchir, and his wife's P.A or whoever and many more like them.... who has prosecuted those ones?

Claiming billions were recovered from Abacha's loot, where is it?
What projects was it used to accomplish? Please remember there're educated people that won't fall for your regular excuses.

Now that the case don done, you no gree...you dey fight am.

Fela Durotoye's aspiration & candidature is obviousoy Dead on Arrival (DOA) with this brickbat in the platform he chose to use to achieve his pipe dream.

Too much huff & puff that has now led to nowhere

hucienda:
It's a tough one.

At this rate, it looks like the flagbearer would be known by Monday, 8th October.

Their deadline is 11:59pm today.

To get some perspective, OP, can we get data of other years or at least for 2017 for the same period in order to gauge performance and measure any improvement

Thank you. Got a quote of N230k though. Way higher than my budget.

Nbote:
D mere fact dat no other indigenous manufacturer has followed d footsteps of Innoson is clear evidence dat d govt doesn't do enof to promote its own.. If not for its other services it offers to d Nigerian Military, d man for don fold face only spare parts

This is incorrect sir.

Steyr produces light trucks and passenger buses
ProForce produces armed transportation inclusive of light and refitted trucks, armoured battle MRPs
ANAMCO produces light trucks and passenger buses

These companies are all actively patronised by several state governments and armed forces.

How true this advice rings three years plus later. Sarakonda needs to be check mated.

2015 Presidential Elections Results

Akwa Ibom

Buhari - 58,411
Jonathan - 953,304

Kwara

Buhari - 302,146
Jonathan - 132,602

Is Akpabio influential enough to nil off the 300k+ votes with 950k+ votes with Saraki's defection to PDP? I honestly wish to debate this with sound minds with facts/data.

Its because he's in painsssssssss

seunmsg:
I think you should open a new thread with this your information. This should settle the matter once and for all.

Will do that if no one has done so already.
