Papa Browne is 100% correct. The bank is under no obligation to provide anyone with a loan. It is completely at the banks discretion even if you meet all their conditions. In the UK a bank can refuse you a loan and is not obliged to give you a reason why. All those dissing him haven't got a clue!

@ darqly

Do you work in FBN? Do you know that the majority of even those to be shown the way out are people with WASC that joined 30 years ago, are in managerial positions and contribute Zilch to the growth of the organization?

With all your wisdom you really believe that someone with 30 years experience in a bank contributes nothing just because the only paper degree they have is WASC? Boy o boy, you have a long way to go

Na wa o! This one go be alien car; 1 door?

Too many ignorant and illiterate people. Loan defaulters cannot be arrested as it is no crime to owe money. Many organisations borrowed money with good intentions and submitted solid business plans these banks. Many have defaulted on their loans for various reason including stiffling operating conditions in the country and other unforseen circumstances. Richard Branson and Sir Freddie Laker ran down several businesses taking along huge loans from financial institutions down with the businesses before finally making it big in business. Imagine if the authoriites in the UK had arrested and locked up this people for having bad debts. If you fail to meet your debt obligations, the right thing for the bank to do is go to court and get an order to liquidate as done by Access Bank recently. At no point shoul the law enforcement agencies come into the scenario. Only if a case of malpractise has been identified. As far as we know, the only crime these debtors have commited is to owe money.

Are people ignorant or what? Age of consent in any normal country is 16 and the guy didnt even say he wanted to have sex with her, he said date. So why all the hloier than thou posts?

Bruv I dont know how you do it but u dey do am. I like to see a brother hustle clean and make money. This car na only one I don see for road for this obodo oyinbo wey I dey and that one na ordinary SE. I was arguing with a friend yesterday about you that you can be trusted. He just bought an X6 for N10 million and I was telling him that there is this well trusted guy on Nairaland making stuff happen and maybe you could have gotten him a better model for cheaper or around the same price. His own na gberefu, no efizy package.

I make sure I visit the auto section once everyday to see if you have come up with more goods. I just like to look at the cars you offer cos it gives me inspiration say one day, one day me self go buy my luxury car.

James G is probably a disgruntled former employee of the Ibrus. Did you just read a copy of the Economist and decided to tell us about what you learnt? Anti trust law and monopoly blah blah blah. How can you describe The Guardian, Rutam Motors, Oceanic Bank, Aerocontractors or Lagos Sheraton as monopolies? It is either you do not understand the term or you are clutching onto straws. Have you forgotten that one of the Ibru brothers was almost killed and infact is blind in one eye and missing a few fingers due to his opposition to Abacha? How many times wasThe Guardian shut down? By the way, quite a few of the companies in your list exist in name only and have had no business operations for some time.[quote author=otokx

She was married to another man before and its his children she tried to introduce into the OCEANIC family but the real IBRU dynasty was opposed to that wayo.[/quote]You must have some inside information beacuse you are very correct on this. She wouldnt even do business with the other brothers companies and Michael being a frail old man could not challenge her

I just love the internet.  A simple search on Google with the key words ' Queen Sheba Liberia' reveals that she was someone visiting Liberia at the instance of National Traditional Council of Liberia and the date she was said to have mysteriously left Liberia was her scheduled departure date. Imagine a whole church cooking up stories a la City people

A friend of mine who used to attend his church was killed along with his Mum and Dad in 1995 on their return from evening worship at Winners chapel. As narrated by the surviving brother, as they returned from church they were met by Armed robbers at their gate but instead of cooperating with the men of the underworld, they procedded to bind the evil men with the blood of Jesus. Result: Dad, Mum, Son killed. The other son had a bullet go through his hand and exit his cheek. I dont know if we can say he was lucky to survive. I can only imagine that their approach to the situation was as a result of what they had been fed at their place of worship.

was that a forced marriage?

Why is this in the politics ?
Moderators please move this to crime section coz thats where it belongs.

This is the funniest ish I have read in a long time!

@ lightest.

What are the chances? I did not see your post before replying and after posting mine I saw yours. what are the chances that 2 people probably in different parts of the world would be thinking along the same lines and post similar responses on the same forum at around the same time. Abi you be my unknown twin?

I dont watch Koko mansion but my madam has told me a lot about this Rita and I have also seen a few clips of the girl. The only thing people have against the girl is that she cant speak English but no one can argue against the fact that the guy has unrivaled confidence. If that girl attends an interview for a job she,ll get it before most of her critics. By the way, how many of our so called footballing ambasadors can speak english better tha Rita, them Kanu, Okocha e.t.c.? The only reason we accept these people is because they are multi-millionaires. Naija people can sabi worship money!

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it is coming a bit too late for me as my madam has already sunk about £3000 into a possibly non existent plot of land in Mowe. The sad thing is that it was her brother who lives in Naija and should know better who convinced her to make the investment. It was originally about £1800 then every other month you hear they now need N50,000 for this, we need N150,000 for that. With all the money invested , she still hasnt set eyes on one piece of documentation for the said plot of land. I cant wait to show her your post when she gets back.

Most of the responses here are dumb! You make it look as easy as if it was a case of the Bank instructing its tellers not to swear at a customer regardless of provocation. This brave man was caught up in an armed robbery. It is not you everyday case of dealing with a loud and irate customer. When someone walks up to your window and tells you he has a gun, no amount of training can prepare you for such a situation. At that point in time it is a case of fight or flight, it is human nature. The man acted on Impulse. How can you fire a person for being a human being.

I rememeber a case in the UK where a child drowned in a lake because 2 police community officers who could swim refused to jump in to rescue the child because they werent trained to rescue drowning people. Basically saying it is not in my job description

Nigeria is 25
The 'art' we did survive
Arise salute the Nation
Come join the celebration
A people united will never fall
on our 'blah blah', its the almighty
blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah

Anyone remeber the rest and the right lyrics?

What about Speedy Racer. Was he No 5 or 10? Cant really remeber. I,m sure you all knew his brother No 9 was actually faster than he was.

I like the theme song for Robin Hood as well and could never get my head round why that big guy was called lil John

Burning Train: I cried my eyes out!

Theme song to Allo Allo makes me cry, I dont know why. Same for Muppet Babies. I loved Fraggle Rock as well. Anyone remeber that episode when they had no water and I think it was Gonzos 'Ajala travel' uncle gave him an umbrella and they used it to tap the pipes while singing

Please water run
Please water run
Please water
please water
please water run.

I also remeber this song from a scene from Sesame street

I went to the barbers shop
told him to cut my hair
Cos I have never seen my face
Since 1964
Snippity snip.

To the dude who remebers tyhe lyrics to Nigeria is 25, can you please post it.

Thanks

Some strange ones bring back the years for me;

Festac 77 : Anyone one remeber the theme song? It reminds me of stealing VIP from my dads room.

KiddieVision 101: It is time for kiddievision 101, it is time for me,

Tom Grattons War.

Tom Sawyyer.

Voltron: Honestly, I didnt see may episodes of it cos my bloody school was miles away from home and by the time we arrived it was finished so had to make do with Thundersub or Terrahawks. This period also reminds me of the smell of the food that was prepared and left in a food flask by my mom. There was always this plastic smell to it but loved it still.

Top of the Pops: Olisa Adibua, Damn that man is old!

I normally dont reply to posts on nairaland but this your case touches the heart. Not critisizing Naija but one thing for sure is that in Europe this will never have happened to you. Even if it did, there are strong laws that will make sure you come out on top. I doubt if any reputable organisation in Europe will even treat you this way.

People dont have hearts again in Naija. Here we have someone who has been given a second chance at life at his emplyers have thrown him to the dogs. It all comes down to cost savings as no organisation wants to pay for services not rendered. I wonder if there is a statutory sick pay scheme in naija. Its easy for me to say but have you tried applying to other banks? Like someone said earlier what you should do is clear your name vis a vis no school records and confirm (written if possible) if your employer is willing to give you a reference. I doubt if you will be able to achieve anything through the courts as that costs a lot of money and you probably be getting close to retirement age by the time the case is decided

I wish you good luck and I hope the outcome favours you.

I cant beleive no one has said Alicia keys. she is the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world!

By the time they get us out she will definitely be expecting my baby and I would be expecting something like 25 to life,  U dig?

@ ovamboland

Very good point u have raided

Thanx

@ blatant

U r a blatant liar!

If your car breaks down on a motorway in the UK, u dont pay any bloody fine! You have phones on the road to call the emergency services to get a free tow to the hard shoulder if the vehicle is obstructing traffic.

Nigeria is the best. In 7 years you wont be able to recognize naija, believe that!!!

Marcus and darren bent

They are not brothers oh!!!!!

It is either your food no sweet or the guy dey fear say you go don wash obrima water put inside vegetable for am

Try Akowonjo area, near the Dopemu axis it is relative safe around there. I live there and have had no problems whatsoever. Sabo Ajangbadi in Okoko is another option. Like earlier posted, it depends on a number of factors, like where you work, family e.t.c. Also keep a profile that is commensurate with the area you live in.

cheers

Ian wright became a professional at age 22, so all hope is not lost. But my guy you sabi play?

cobhams

I am not saying the guy is lying. If the stories i read were in Ovation I wouldnt care. I am talking about his articles in Thisday when he writes about normal issues in life but always thinks it is necessary to chip in these unecessary lines about where he has been or who he has met.

I think the guy is arrogant and boastful. Everytime I read a story he writes, he is always writing stuff along the lines of; I was with the president, I went to paris 4 times in the last week, I was in the first class lounge. He seems to drop these sort of lines after every 4 sentences or so even when it is of no relevance to the point he is trying to pass across. what do you guys feel?

The last time I saw kenny, D1 and ID on TV must have been like '99. Are they still putting on their fake accents? The only one I could stand was D1 because he looked young and he really didnt fake any stupid accent. That keke must be like 50 years old now!

All the peeps comparing their show to Larry king live and Jerry springer must have screws lose. The poster that posted 'imagine having Larry king hosting TRL' has said it all.

Even though I hate that Keke guy the truth must be told; he and his team opened the doors for a lot of young people in Naija.
