BusinessRe: Banks Will Accept Old Naira Notes After Deadline - Emefiele by phineas: 5:13pm On Jan 31, 2023
Omoapena:
This is now getting more confusing,

Is it that commercial banks will start rejecting after 10th of February or they are given till 17th of February to collect it.
I'm only quoting his speech, and it appears commercial banks will stop collecting from the public from the 10th based on the last speech on Sunday. But the CBN will continue to take deposits till the 17th.
Thats a clause everyone should review carefully and ask questions around
BusinessRe: Banks Will Accept Old Naira Notes After Deadline - Emefiele by phineas: 3:52pm On Jan 31, 2023
I'm very worried about how we all don't stay abreast with our country policies in detail before commenting.its like people just parrot what others say as fact

You all need to have tracked his press briefing and analyzed it in detail. How hard is that.


Youths need to do better.
BusinessRe: Banks Will Accept Old Naira Notes After Deadline - Emefiele by phineas: 3:47pm On Jan 31, 2023
The CBN Governor personally read a statement at a press briefing where he said

1. Old notes will be accepted at commercial banks till the 10th of Feb

2.After the 10th it will be collected only at the APEX bank (CBN) till the 17th

Hope you all know by law he is covered by that public statement on his policy when commercial banks stop collecting your money after the 10th

And for those with fraudulently earned cash let's see how you explain your deposit of large sums directly to the CBN.

People need to be clear on this things and stop muddling the news up especially when the man personally read a press statement.

Plus I don't get what all the noise is about, those with genuinely earned old notes have nothing to be afraid of ,they should go and deposit it. how hard is that?

HealthRe: 85% Doctors Planning To Leave Nigeria, Says NARD by phineas:
For every Dr that leaves there are at least 5 more unemployed to replace that person ask your hospital to recruit

The only overworked consultant of a specialist unit in a Government GH left and instead of finding ways for temporary employment the clowns in management closed down the unit.Cos HMB did not employ for them

Also ARD should take full responsibility for its role in perpetuating toxic work environment that makes no sane registrar decide to stay

CrimeRe: Kidnapped Soldier PP Johnson Not Yet Rescued – Nigerian Army by phineas: 6:49pm On Dec 30, 2022
Every post with her image(dressed and undressed) should be deleted. Moderators should take note

The Nigerian army should invest in a cyberwarfare department to track erring sites and personal pages including WhatsApp promoting images such as this and those against the military

Crimes like this only thrive because of their publicity

Lastly the military must do everything in its power to get her back alive.Everyone must get involved

Dear Biafrans and by default the men and women of a certain tribe ,this crime has been committed in your name. it's time for you to own the criminals or deny them and fish them out.

CrimeRe: Kidnap: Mum And Daughters Raped by phineas:
Some kind of evil should not happen in our land and when it happens we must not stay quiet and allow it pass,it must never become the norm

The king is the king of all both the good and the bad (a Yoruba proverb).The leaders of the good and the bad must fish those boys out and have them dealt with appropriately,not a quiet sent to jail but a public sentencing to serve as deterent.It doesn't matter how long it takes they must be found and brought to justice or the land has no leadership ,no mother's ,who raised the people there? How can they be silent?

To keep silent in the face of a matter like that is enabling such vices. Humans of Rivers State over to you.I don't think anyone should let this go

Make our guys look big with shades like they actually are,and the Chinese look exactly like they look. Ministry of culture needs to find someone to fund and shoot this for all of us,I recommend falz highly

When I watch their(Chinese and Korean) action films rescuing African hostages and children,I just get filled with vexation.Like where and how did this happen ,you won't see their boots anywhere but they are quick to shoot movies

At least we are busy risking actual gallant men to rescue their cheap arses

All of you citing " the abroad" hope you know he has broken at least 2 laws with his careless speech that would definitely land him in jail depending on his prior records

1.Slander/libel
2.Hate speech

Hope you know UK arrested people for posting pictures of burning bodies on social media from the building that was on fire.

Hope you know the UK also was passing a bill to protect its peoples mental health from the nonsense social media posts from people from these parts of this world that just post anyhow

If he is willing to do the crime he should definitely not be complaining of the trial.NANS should stay out of it.perhaps he would be the National lesson for cyber bullies

CrimeRe: Nigerian Lady Sentenced To Prison In Dubai For Tweeting About Nigerians (pics) by phineas: 10:24am On Oct 23, 2022
Dubai has a law against posting negative images or allegations against them or their citizens online.

I think that's the cause of her arrest. It doesn't matter how long ago the crime was, once you set foot on their land the person can be arrested for such crimes

Point is be mindful of other countries laws no matter how unrealistic they may be.

EducationRe: ASUU Appeals Ruling, Says FG Has Declared War by phineas:
wealthgoddess:
Exactly sir! Sometimes back I gave a microbiology student of the University of Ilorin a ride. He was down and felt somewhat sad. I asked him about his woes and he told me his supervisor is insisting that that his project will be based on "Microbial flora of swimming pool" (Imagine the boring topic?) Still I asked him why he does not want the topic, his answer amazes me!
Not only has the topic been repeated consecutively for the past eight years or so! the students said students are basically told to copy formats from projects of previous students. This student however claimed to be working on the idea of building logic gates (the basic components of computer processors) with microbes! why? he said environmentally friendly biodegradable electronics. how novel!
unfortunately his ideas sounded far fetched to them and he was constrained to avoiding it.
.
Some one year later I found this kid within the campus, still with the yellow tag. If he did his project last year, he should have graduated. It turned out he spilled! He went through with his idea but his lecturers never acknowledged it. they call it farce and failed him.
I decided to make some research on his project and discovered top scientists around the world are beginning to work on it!
.
That is the problem! Smart kids are failed. The dumb ones clearly copying from old projects are passed. Nigerian lecturers seem to always catch up late. They do not create new ideas, they prefer to only work with ideas that have already been established in the west. There are still a few innovative lecturers and professors though.
Americans do not use the honors system...there has to be a reason for it. Their universities are always among the top 50 in the world. They occupy more than 50% of the first 50 or first hundred. Aiish...
This is the problem with Nigerian higher institutions.Their lecturers are abusers of various sorts.The strike is a form of abuse as well,They have absolutely no regard for their victims and the country.

Before anyone say its a fight for quality of education, I will still answer back TETFUND. ASUU should make TETFUND whatever it wants to achieve its solutions.

At a time in this country, TETFUND research money was been returned due to insufficient eligible applications.Some discussions were even ongoing to repurpose some parts of the fund due to its low level of use.

Where was ASUUs voice in all of that? ASUU was on strike. For money.

EducationRe: Resumption: Vcs Succumb To FG, Open Attendance Register For Varsity Lecturers by phineas: 1:09am On Sep 29, 2022
I am very disappointed in the FG.It took them this long to analyse the TETFUND to know the aspect of ASUUs strike on equipping universities is a joke

There's another part of tetfund they need to assess.The part where lecturers are entitled to research grants
EducationRe: ASUU Appeals Ruling, Says FG Has Declared War by phineas: 9:40am On Sep 23, 2022
A large proportion of our population are between 15 and 24, the majority actually. They are the people affected by this strike.

An analytical mind will understand that this strike will determine the future of a lot of Nigerians as such the country

I recommend that ;

1.The appeal court fast tracks this case. ASUU will loose.It appears ASUU is angry that the FG took them to court for this reason.Its not compulsory to settle out of court, and last we heard the main issue now is ASUU wants to be paid for 7 months of strike


2. Should the courts order them to resume and they refuse, by all means the relevant arms of Goverment must duly and also swiftly arrest them for contempt. These are old selfish men that are holding the future of youths and poor families to ransom.They deserve no pity.

3. Any ASUU member who beloved at this stage their fight is just and honourable, must by all means honourable resign and let the Goverment advertise his position.It is possible that with the teaming unemployment in the country the Goverment may find 7000 suitable applicants who apply for his position

4.every ASUU member that wants to leave the country are free to leave.Its like the Drs no one is stopping them

5.Lastly a detailed analysis of tetfund expenditure is required.I don't understand why with the amount of funds ascribed to tetfund in this country. ASUU cannot do a detailed budget analysis annually and make their case for improved quality of education through strategic engagement with Goverment agencies and parastatals why a strike always?

The military and police failed its people

All the good men in He military and police failed Nigeria.Under their watch the people became unprotected and prey to foreign mercenaries.The people they vowed to protect.


Entire villages wiped out, beloved children have been stolen from their parents, babies murdered, soldiers lost, evil men, young men and old on rampage, majority even foreign with no adequate response to their terror

The senate failed too.they appear to be worst in this matter.The leadership of this era failed its people in their response

A true soldier or defender of his people will say we will not loose 1 citizen, no matter how undeserving , or poor they may be.The soldiers and police are that line of defence.

I undertand that there are many powers and issues at stake, but ultimately it shows there are no good men in the leadership of these institutions.Not 1 who put the people and their survival and safety as priority.

Sadly this may affect the west african black race as we know it.Anihilated and subdued by uneducated rag tag militia because it's line of defence ultimately failed its people

caye:
My dear, before the American nonsense of Pentecostalism that always supported the new Jews ( only God knows where they came from), there was the British Israelites : a deluded cult of crazy white men, who went into mainstream Christianity, and had following in thousands, if not millions , in the 1920s or 30s.

Their main doctrine was that the British were a.lineage of King David, and therefore were now the new Jews , and this the inheritors of the promises made to the Jews.

But we all know that the British, like the Welsh and Irish and Romans rose from the magic/ nature religions before the new religions of Christianity and Islam.

They never practised Judaism.

It was meant to cement the belief ( false one) that the British Empire was ordained by God and would never collapse.

It collapsed.
I agree with you.Notthing in their culture support ancient practice of Judaism.The west African cultural practices, oral history, and linguistic trail is more aligned to ancient Israel than the British or any other rendition

The narration above was just an observation on the stone.I particularly like your phrase "deluded cult of crazy white men"

They went ahead to justify slavery and the common wealth as their God given legacy, and proclaimed themselves the seed of ancient isreal Despite not been circumcised.

I read about this stone a loong time ago.Book was written by some christian British pro slave type person

Here is the summary of what they believe

1. It was a coronation stone that existed before the time of Jesus

2.It was taken by the prophet with the last remnants of the royal family of Israel (forgot the prophets name, I think it was jeremiah)

3.It was moved with a daughter of the last king of isreal. From the lineage of David.It was transported by sea with the daughter to Scotland where a remnant settled

4. Her blood line they believe is the bloodline of the king of David and that of Israel

5.Coronation of Kings was to be made with the stone in reference to an ancient Israel practice

6.They believe that the present monarchy of the House of Windsor as the daughters bloodline and is of the root of David as such will always have a lineage on the throne as promised by God

There was more in the book, the author believes they are the royal family of the tribe of Judah, that's about it
