You're the failure here and the funds for your Education is a waste. You lack the understanding and exposure to know there are processes to implementation of policies. It requires relevant stakeholders and authorities to adopt a template that'd suit its practicality, reports have to be submitted and adopted before the implementation, approvals from relevant quarters have to be given before implementation begins. Similarly was the directives of removal of import duties on some specific food items which had to pass through relevant agencies with procedures laid out before implementation begins, it doesn't just fly off the hat. You're simply ignorant.
My guy your grammar too much. When Tinubu announced the removal of subsidy, all this things you mentioned didn't take place. Immediately they implemented the removal.

EducationThe Best Advice About Staying Safe In Nigeria I Have Read by philipobiz(op):
I don't usually post. I can not ignore posting this piece of advice on about, staying out of trouble and staying safe, that got to my attention.

I think it deserves the front page. Guys if you think so please echo it to the mod.

Here it goes.

One of the most prudent things you should do for yourself in Nigeria today is keeping out of trouble. One of the worst things that can happen to a person is to be sent to jail in Nigeria.

Jail in Nigeria is halfway house to hell. Maryam Sanda will probably never be executed. Most governors do not sign the death warrants anymore. Orji Kalu Uzor will probably never serve full-time.


But still, Nigerian prisons are like Nazi concentration camps. The food is calamitous, and healthcare is nonexistent.

I have seen a prisoner holding his eyeball in his hand. It was still attached to his eye socket by a tendril. Someone used a spoon to scoop out his eyeball in a fight. The nurse was off duty. Nobody cared, he died.

I had a client who was remanded in prison once. He was HIV positive and did not tell me. Maybe that would have been further grounds for bail. He could not take his drugs, and he relapsed. Before I could try to get him out, it was too late. He died.

The food given to prisoners is not fit for human consumption. Even animals should not be made to eat such rubbish. Meanwhile, huge sums of money have been budgeted for feeding prisoners.

Avoid trouble, in fact, flee from trouble. Anything that will involve police charging you to court is trouble. If you can kill a matter in the police station, by all means, do it. Stop shouting,

"I know my right!"

This is Nigeria. Your right and left can change anytime.

Police will definitely ask for big money. If you have it and you suspect your case is not very solid, kill the matter there. Even if you think you have a good case, this is Nigeria.

If your lawyer is shouting,

"we will meet in court!" In Police station, tell him to calm down.

It is your case, not his. The use of "we" is merely figurative. He will not stand in the accused box with you.

Remember, it is not what you know that matters in court. It is what you can prove. Besides, this is Nigeria. Ihedioha can testify.

I was attacked once by a pedestrian in Lagos. The car I was inside brushed him slightly. I was not the one driving. I just told him to be more careful.

That is how the guy attacked me. He threw 4 punches, I blocked two and dodged two.

I had the opportunity to counter punch, but I did not. I am not Anthony Joshua. A police man eventually stopped him. I quickly removed myself from the scene.

I was happy enough that I was not going home with a broken jaw, and neither was I being charged for assault. Sometimes, it is better to let some things go.

I do not mean that you should turn to everyone's foot mat, but if you are going to take up an issue, ensure you are blameless or almost blameless.

Avoid wahala. If people are beating up a thief, do not join, or even stand and watch, even if it is your property that was stolen.

If someone hits your car, don't start fighting because of that.

Do not lend people money. It hardly ends well.

Do not surety people you don't absolutely trust.

Avoid too much night movement and partying and clubbing.

Avoid people who can not control their alcohol. They always start brawls.

Realize that a bad situation can always get worse or better, depending on how you handle it.

Avoid people who talk too much.

Be wary with your speech. Do not talk about people behind their backs.

Always assume that someone is recording your speech and videoing your actions.

Even if someone comes with negative gossip about another person, do not say anything. If you talk, it is what you said that will somehow find its way to the person's ear.

Stop saying things like,

" Do you know who I am?"

"I no dey fear anybody!"

"My yes is my yes, and my no is my no!"

Finally, remember to keep your anger and ego in check. The world does not revolve around you. It revolves around the sun. Please be careful and stay safe.

A word is enough for the wise.

CrimeUS Lawmakers Push For Hostage Designation In Binance Exec’s Detention In Nigeria by philipobiz(op): 2:41pm On Jul 14, 2024
Two U.S. congressmen have submitted a resolution to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, urging the government to declare the detention of a Binance executive in Nigeria as a hostage situation.

Reps. Rich McCormick and French Hill said in a statement on Thursday that they introduced the resolution to demand that the Nigerian government immediately release Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen.

The resolution — officially introduced on Wednesday by McCormick and co-sponsored by Hill — said that Gambaryan’s health “has been declining during his detention in Kuje Prison,” urging the U.S. government to declare Gambaryan as a “U.S. citizen wrongfully detained by a foreign government.”

The congressmen also noted in the resolution that if Tigran’s court case is not resolved by mid-July, he may remain in detention for an even longer undue period of time, as the court typically takes a recess from mid-July to September.

Gambaryan, a former agent for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Binance’s head of financial crime compliance, and another Binance executive Nadeem Anjarwalla were detained following their arrival in Nigeria in February. The Nigerian authorities filed criminal charges against Binance and the two executives for alleged money laundering and tax violations. Anjarwalla later escaped from custody in March.

Last month, Nigeria’s tax authorities dropped the tax charges but the company and the executives still face money laundering charges in the country.

In the resolution, the congressmen further noted that Gambaryan had worked for the IRS for over a decade and seized more than $4 billion in illicit funds on behalf of the U.S. government.

Newspaper or media want to sell market. Very smart move. Oh! because the victim is wearing an arsenal Jersey so he committed suicide because arsenal didn't win the trophy
You guys are believing the cooked up story. Shey them interview the man to find out why eh wan die or he wrote a note about it before hanging himself.

I can write a story that a man united fan murdered him to make it look like a suicide because Arsenal finished above Man United on the table.

Anyways majority of Nairalanders have a very low IQ. What do you expect them to believe

Right now wearing jerseys is what is trending irrespective of the club. Even aboki that does not know whether these clubs existed or not.

This situation is rear but it happens. A client sent money to me through his bank app and he got a debit. I opened my bank app and saw the credit. About an hour I was checking my bank app for another transaction and noticed the amount was reversed. Thank God it was someone I know. I called him, he checked his app and noticed the money came back to him. Je then sent it again.

Someone I know had complained about this anomaly before, I was wondering how can that be, until it happened to me.

Yesterday I bought alot of bags of water from a truck road side guy and did a transfer to him which he checked and acknowledged .
I drove off with my car only to get an alert that the money bounced back.

I had to make a u turn to meet up with the guy that I bought the water from and told him the money bounced back and we had to go to the nearest POS centre to withdraw cash for the payment.

I gave him my complementary card and left.
The water seller guy called me this morning and thanked me for my magnanimity and told me he had another loss yesterday and it would have been catastrophic if he had lost mine too.
It still baffles me that in the year 2024 ,transfer transactions are bouncing back and I do wonder if such occurrence happen abroad?

successmatters:
That's bad

If you didn't help this business man to subsidize his purchases and expenses, if you didn't give him the capital to set up or to operate, you have no rights to force him to sell at a particular price.

But this will always backfire, as more owners lock up or transfer their goods, or go underground, the goods will enter black market, and everyone who really needs it will pay triple the cost, at the point of death.

Buharri tried that in 1984, someone should please remind me how that matter ended?

Allow free market economy to dictate prices.
Read well. Sahad stores shot itself on the leg. They should have removed the old price tag to reflect what a customer pays at the counter.
Its criminal to pick a product with a price tag and see a higher price on the checkout receipt.

Undisputed.

Named African Footballer of the Year three times and the first African to win the Ballon d'Or and be named FIFA World Player of the Year, Weah's prominence in the 1990s led him to be nicknamed "King George". 90min included him in their list of the 50 greatest players of all time. Weah is often hailed as one of the greatest African footballers of all time, being named African Player of the Century in 1996, and often ranked among the three greatest African strikers ever, alongside Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o.
