Hideki:
Nigerian oils guys are paid in Nigerian Naira

Not true sir.
They operate a Dorm account.
I know for Shell and Chevron workers.
That I can confirm.

Gilgil:
For those working and earning 2M and above, it no longer makes sense.

Some people who were earning large in Naija 10-12 yrs ago, like the oil boys have seen their Naira earnings increase but the real value decreased geometrically.

Imagine if you were earning 1.65M per annum in 2011, that was $10,000, but today even if you got promoted 3 times and are now earning say 4M/year, that is now $ 3,333. You have essentially lost 70% of your earnings. Same is happening to pensions. By the time you retire, your pension contributions would be worthless.

Ok, if you were earning 700,000 a month in May 28th that was $1,000, but in 4 months that is $583.

Difference is, oil guys are paid in USD. So they stay abreast on inflation

But this is very clear nau

Puff puff over buns

Na wah..
I don't even know what to say self.


Anyways, I just remember the days of FTC and Front front page madness on nairaland.

Time flies sha and every situation sha pass away. Always remember that apart from God, nothing is worth fighting for.

It's obvious they were prolly having sex in broad day light. Funny times we're living in.

I remember while as a house officer almost a decade ago, I did 48hrs on-call in Paediatric surgery. Never looked forward to those on-call days cos they were brutal. Nearly half the on-call would be in theatre, on your feet or chasing results and blood transfusion. Registrars then were on 72hr on-call.
Now as a consultant in Uk, I work 3 days a week.
He may not have been on call for 72hrs but hospitals need to look after the welfare of their employees.

Hello sir.
How life as a consultant in the NHS?

Calitoscassius:
But the OP is not talking about highly skilled peoole, ofcourse, anyone highly skilled would not have any problem living anywhere in the world. That what the world are looking for, HIGHLY skilled people not people who would come to "hustle" hustle is not an occupatuon let alone high a skill.

Please who dyou classify as highly skilled?

MT:
Blame those who were given Visitor's visa and Student's visa and abused them. Nigerians are profiled as one of the high risk Nation that will abuse visa.

Let the truth be told, over 90% of the people that were bounced would abuse their visas. The Consular Officers have seen it all. Sadly some few individuals with genuine intention will be bounced too but majority that are bounced are deserving of it.

You must give them a genuine reason why your case is different. US embassy care less about your document. Your body language and what you say will determine it. You cannot fill in your application form that you are going for tourism and you pick Indiannapolis. You have shot yourself in the leg before you utter a single word.

Stop heaping blames on the Government alone, the citizen's behaviours play key roles too.

What happens in Indianapolis?

Kizyte:
I ordered on Jumia and it arrived in Abuja in 6 days. Phone came well sealed, as you can see in the pictures below, (the fact that it's an old flagship does not mean it's refurbished).

Specification:
- 6.7 inches Dynamic AMOLED 2X
- Corning Gorilla Glass 6 (front and back)
- 12GB RAM
- 128GB ROM
- Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865
- GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE / 5G network
- Ultrasonic finger print sensor
- Li-Ion 4500 mAh, non-removable battery
- 25W wired super fast charging
- 15W wireless charging (and 4.5w reverse wireless charging)

I intended updating the phone to check for the blue line which a lot of people complained that it appeared on their S20 screen immediately after software update, but fortunately, mine came with Android 13 One UI 5.1, there was no need for update.

Phone came with:
- 25w super fast charger (Adapter)
- USB type-C cable
- AKG Earpiece
- OTG Connector
- SIM tray ejector


My personal opinion on the blue line:
I think the blue line screen issues only affect the Indian version, which is the Exynos variant. If you use the Snapdragon variant, you can go ahead and update to Android 13 One UI 5.1

NB: I won't be held responsible if your Samsung screen is affected negatively as a result of any software update.

See unboxing photos below:

You new phone is not supposed to come with the latest update.
And you think it's not refurbished??

If it's used ohien I can understand.

Don't place your house for rent.

If you have money to fund USMLE, the go for it.

Most of Drs just want to use the PLAB route to escape and then restrategize.

Summary of the above text

Taibat Abubakar, a woman seeking a divorce, has accused her husband, Abubakar Salihu, of impregnating her without engaging in sexual intercourse. Taibat expressed her confusion to a magistrates' court in Kwara State, stating that she cannot explain how she became pregnant without having penetrative vaginal sex with her husband. She claimed that she initially rejected Salihu's marriage proposal as she did not love him, but he insisted and said she had no choice but to accept. Taibat discovered she was pregnant when she missed her period, despite not having had sex with her husband.

In response, Salihu denied Taibat's claims and argued that they did engage in physical sexual intercourse, not in a dream or spiritual realm as she suggested. The couple was instructed by Magistrate Ajibade Lawal to maintain their current situation until the next court hearing, scheduled for July 25.

Taibat is seeking a divorce, requesting the dissolution of the marriage. She also asked the court to grant her ₦10,000 monthly for child support and to order Salihu to pay for the child's school fees. The court will further evaluate the case and make a decision during the next hearing.

Summary of the above text

President Bola Tinubu, in a biography titled 'Tinubu: My life as a gypsy cab driver in the US,' shared his humble beginnings, including his time as a taxi driver in the United States. He worked as an unlicensed taxi driver in Chicago, specifically picking up passengers from the airport and driving them to their destinations. This job served as a means of financial support before Tinubu began his education.

During his time as a taxi driver, Tinubu encountered an incident with a naval officer. In an unintentional act of overcharging the officer due to not knowing the correct direction, Tinubu received a slap in response. Despite the challenges he faced, such as this incident, Tinubu managed to pay for his apartment and tuition fees at Chicago State University by taking on additional menial jobs.

Tinubu's experiences as a taxi driver shaped his early life and demonstrate the determination and resilience he exhibited to support himself financially and pursue his education. These experiences provide a glimpse into the President's humble beginnings and highlight the hardships he encountered on his path to success.

Recapitalization plans for Nigerian banks

Summary of the above text



The CBN's recapitalization plan was announced in June 2019 as part of a five-year plan to elevate Nigerian banks to the top 500 globally.

The objective of recapitalization is to ensure that Nigerian banks maintain a high level of capital and liquid assets to minimize the impact of economic crises on the financial system.

The leading deposit money banks in Nigeria, including Zenith Bank, Access Holdings, UBA, GTCo, FBN Holdings, Fidelity Bank, Unity Bank, and Union Bank, witnessed a 17.8% increase in total assets in Q1 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Among these banks, Access Holdings emerged as the largest in terms of asset size, followed by Zenith Bank, ETI, UBA, and FBN Holdings.

In comparison, the leading bank in South Africa, Standard Bank Group, had assets of around $170.9 billion in 2022.

The CBN acknowledges that the capital base of Nigerian commercial banks has been eroded by about $4.5 billion since the 2005 recapitalization, mainly due to the devaluation of the national currency.

The CBN has been considering the modalities and framework for recapitalization for some time, indicating that it is becoming increasingly necessary to strengthen the banking sector.

In the early days of crypto, I buy and sell on the currency thread on nairaland. I was able to save around #6m between 2013-2015. I left for the UK on a student visa via information on nairaland. I worked hard to offset my bills, switched to dependant visa afterwards, got an NHS job via info from Nairaland. Relocated to Canada via the PR route through info from NL and telegram groups

Can you share these telegram links to us please?

One thing about US they never follow the direction the whole world is following when the world was doing left hand drive they went right hand, when the world was doing parliamentary they went presidential and ironically after some time the world starts following the same because America is like a show piece of the world everybody is watching. Everybody knows American presidents, politicians and entertainers but more than half of Americans do not even know where west Africa is or the president of any European country except late queen Elizabeth. Most countries in the world believe in showcasing their best military weapons to inspire fear while America even though an open society downplays its military capability in extreme secrecy that any time American military tests any weapon for the world to see most military watchers know already they have outdated that technology many years before. US military used internet from WW2 and released it to the world in 1999 when it was no longer of use to them same way they released drones for everybody to use. During WW2 hitler subdued entire Europe with his commanders and men like Italian dictator Benito Mussolini , pacific and Asia even China through emperor Hirohito of Japan . America refused to join the war like they are doing now over Ukrainian issue. Hitler, Mussolini etc taunted them until the devil pushed Japan into bombing Pearl Harbor. America entered the war and during the bombardment of Omaha beach and Normandy to gain access into Europe terrified German soldiers wrote that the kind of weapons Americans came with was something they never imagined in their existence would exist in the next 1000 years; then coupled with total destruction of Japanese biggest cities then of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which made emperor Hirohito to admit that after his god it’s Americans. They even came with thousands of fighter jets and bombers than turned German military bases into tornados of fire and armored tankers that run on water and were detonating explosives at the beach. The battle lasted 48 hours and the lightening from the constant bombardments made the night look like broad daylight.It was rumored the shock drove hitler to go and commit suicide. By the time they gained access and started liberating countries held in bondage by hitler there was American flags all over Europe with everybody chanting “America..America…” thanking the heroic soldiers for the new found freedom.That war was described as the largest scale military operation ever carried out in a theater of war in the history of mankind , after that bloodshed Americans started UN, WHO,IMF etc with aim never to have a repeat of such again and that’s why what America did in North Korea,Vietnam, Iran, iraq, etc are largely seen as peace keeping even though moderate and liberal politicians in US are still angered by what happened in iraq. For Biden’s visit I know they will have missile protectors around him and would probably lock up the airspace too in addition to the tight security mobilized from their bases in Europe but should anything happen to Biden in Ukraine there would be no Russian in the next few weeks and Russia knows that

The United States has a history of doing things differently than the rest of the world. For example, while most countries drive on the left-hand side of the road, the U.S. drives on the right-hand side. While many countries use parliamentary systems of government, the U.S. has a presidential system. Despite this, the U.S. is often seen as a global trendsetter and people around the world pay close attention to American politics, entertainment, and culture.

While many countries showcase their military weapons to inspire fear, the U.S. downplays its military capabilities and operates in extreme secrecy. The U.S. often tests and releases technology long after it has become outdated, such as the internet, which was used by the U.S. military during World War II and was released to the public in 1999.

During World War II, the U.S. initially stayed out of the conflict, while leaders like Hitler and Mussolini taunted them. However, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan, the U.S. entered the war and quickly became a powerful force, using advanced weapons and military tactics that shocked German soldiers. The U.S. played a major role in liberating Europe and bringing an end to the war.

Since World War II, the U.S. has been instrumental in creating organizations like the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the International Monetary Fund, all with the aim of preventing another large-scale war.

During President Biden's upcoming visit to Ukraine, he will likely have tight security measures in place to ensure his safety, such as missile protectors and airspace lockdowns. If anything were to happen to President Biden in Ukraine, there would likely be severe consequences, and Russia knows this.


Fixed.
Nice piece of information.
Poor writing style.

Even when I started my residency program almost 5 years ago my take home was not that low. Any resident doctor in federal service will just be laughing at ur post.
I could upload my November payslip but I won’t for personal and security reasons.
Beefing us or downsizing our emoluments in ur mind doesn’t change facts.
My present take home as a Senior Registrar is more than the amount you quoted for Consultants. Bros, you are so misinformed.
I leave you to continue swimming in ur jealousy and ignorance.
