In response to this, hope you have heard about the military ambush that happened in Shiroro LGA yesterday 14th of August. Over 30 soldiers killed.

I used to visit those places around 2017 to 2019. I have not crossed to those axis since 2020. I know the shit going on in those places.
First hand because I work with the LGA personels there. A lot of things go unreported.
If you hear what is happening you will give up on this country.

First off no LGA called Kuvun in Niger state
Most likely it is Lavun LGA you went to.
You took a lot of risk traveling to Niger state. The Bida axis you took is one of the safest though.
Parts of Gurara is not safe.
But please if anybody tells you he intends to take to Kontagora, Mariga, Magama, Mashegu,Rijau, Rafi, Shiroro, Munya axis. My brother na death trap be that.

Hello Please was it Your Naira Card you used for the payment?

Made a fresh application for all 3.
Used Microsoft edge browser, actually a browser I don't use, ie cache free browser.
And we made sure to make payment early hours of the morning( 3am).
Don't know which of the above did it but we good now.
Also of note was that, when I reached out to UK VI via paid mail, they also mentioned that I should avoid using iphone and Mac computer when trying.

Please I want to ask, in situation where one has paid for the normal Visa fee, and has not picked a date for biometric and you now want to do a priority visa. How will the procedure be like ?
Can add money and convert to priority?

I sent money to the person in UK, he then used his card to pay.
All other tries were with different cards in Nigeria.
Naffy2022:


Did the person make use of the same card or he/she used a new card?

Please I am having issues paying my IHS using my Dollar card. We are a family of 5. We were able to use our GT Dollar card to pay for me and my wife. It started to decline when we started to try to pay for our children.
We thought it was the bank, when we got to the bank they said it was the Marchant declining the pay.
Our agent decided to use 2 different UBA cards still to no avail. The worst is that he has been debited twice, which will take some time for the money to be reversed.
My problem now is that we don't even understand what the issue is.
We also tried to start another application for our first child, still it was declined.
Please anybody with similar experience should help with info on how to resolve it.
It is really frustrating right now.
Thanks in advance

Do a simple calculation, her saving 50% of her salary for ten years.
Compare that with what you are able to save currently for same number of years.
Wake up bro, there is a need to have a conversation about family finances.
Femmyfamous4u:
Hello all, I need to know if I'm doing some things right or over reacting. My wife and I just married some months ago and we just spend here and there on stuffs. I bought food stuffs in the house and told her I will place her on 40k monthly to cover for soups and all and I expect her to add to it if it's not enough. I foot all bills- house rent, Power, and all . She earns a decent 6 figures salary also which is slightly higher than mine without the allowances I get. She expects me to still give her another allowance apart from the 49k I give her for food. Each time she buys stuff in the house she always want me to pay back in full; most times, I just pay a part of it which she always frowns and complains about. It appears she has a notion that her money is her money and mine is ours. My income is more than hers though. Do you think I should still give her personal pocket money?

Ask for forgiveness from her, if she refuses to, go to God for his forgiveness, his forgiveness overides hers if she chooses not to after you have begged her , albeit genuinely.
Not supporting your action though but she will never raise her hand on you again. she would have learnt her lesson too somehow,Never to hit a grown up, there will always be a push back.

Mum was the disciplinarian, Dad only advised.
They were both a tact team, complimenting each other to discipline us. Raising kids in the Barracks no easy.
Mum was industrious,and supported dad.
They died just about when we began rounding up university education.
Sad they did not enjoy the fruit of their labour.

You're just lucky the fraudulent transaction bounced back. Probably due to bank network issue. Nothing phony there.

Crime / Phony Debit Alert On My Account, Has This Happened To Anyone Before? by pedestal82(m): 9:15pm On Nov 20, 2021
So this afternoon Saturday, around 2pm I received a debit alert of 20k from my STANBIC ibtc account which happens to be my salary account.
I was shocked, because I did not make any withdrawal or any purchase.
So I went to my banking app, to be sure of what I was seeing, to my surprise, the money was actually debited. The transaction details was saying Paycom Ikeja.
So I made a screen shot of the debit details, and also my account balance from the app.
I decided to quickly block the account using USSD Code for stanbic, before they remove the remaining 5k.
Few minutes later, my account balance returned to 25k. The account was already blocked I can't make any transaction until on Monday when I go back to the bank.
I just checked the banking app again it is still the 25k.
Please has anybody experienced this before, anybody with an idea what could have happened?
Attached are screen shots.

Nonsense story and excuses.

There is no perimeter fence and no CCTV camera in that place.
CCTV cameras are only inside the headquarters building.
