Who is still using this Geegpay Africa?
Wise which has always served me since early this year has disabled my account. I am looking for alternatives.
The problem with Upwork is their poor currency convertion rate when u want to withdraw to ur local currency.
How does Geegpay work for new customer?
All of these guys are same, from Payoneer, to Wise, to Geegpay. We are all suffering from them. It is such an unfortunate experience. Payoneer has always served me.
It is crazy that dollar would be trading at 1600 per dollar and these companies will want to exchange for u at 1300 per dollar. That is wickedness.
Who can explain to me how these guys work?

Earthscience:
Time to escalate and give this a great publicity so that the world knows the real truth!
Let all Nigerians and football lovers start this NOW

Baba, there are important things to escalate in Nigeria.

People are getting kidnapped daily, fuel is super expensive in a country with wack electricity, poor minimum wage and terrible purchasing power.
I had to close down one of my businesses last week because of fueling expenses.
These are what we should focus on to escalate. I wonder how Nigerians are so at peace with their leaders and always want other leaders to do the right things.
U want CAF to act but we always make excuses for our politicians becus they are from our ethnic group

Ofunaofu:
Elections are long over, and when the election is over, governance begins.
 
It's inappropriate to propose a bill for the establishment of a university, and you name that university after a public officeholder who will sign it into law. It's pure sycophancy. 
 
Besides, a University of Nigerian languages in Aba. What happened to establishing a technical university tailored towards craftsmanship in Aba.

They are getting their priorities wrong.

There is nothing inside the head of an average black man..they know nothing and can't solve their own problems. There is no way Nigeria will ever work.
These guys just don't even know what they do in national assembly. They have no idea. They see it as a place to make money from.

ObosiLandlord:
States are allowed to create thier own council areas too

No, in true federalism, FG has no busienss doing this. Which is what we need.
We dont need a system that gives FG so much power which makes ethnic groups to fight till date to take over the center. This we have done for decades with nothing to show for it. Not even a runniing water in our country aside citizens digging boreholes. It is shameful that countries like Ukrain that is fighting a war has more stable electricity than us. It is crazy

ObosiLandlord:
The LG was created by the FG, they are been funded by the FG

We need to stop it. USA does not fund LG. They should be tied to their states and generate money. We cant make progress like this. LG can generate wealth too and fund them selves.

ObosiLandlord:
Everybody already knows this is how it will end, even Wike himself knows.

Anybody that's not happy should go to court

The Senate must fast track the bill that will make a new federal agency be in charge of holding LG elections all over Nigeria

We are trying to decentralize Nigeria and u are trying to centralize it. What a joke. States should be independent in election, security, resources, economy, etc. Centralizing Nigeria all these years have done no good and will never do any good. States should build their institutions and anti graft agencies.
Just as u fear that governors can weaponize these agencies, that is also how FG weaponizes them. That is why u hear of such words like Federal might.

tundegan:
Tinubu is a man of the people and he will get there.

All these criticisms are just part of the game. We all know he is trying to fix a broken system.

That was his Una talk that Buhari was fixing the system for 8 years
He ended up wasting it. Now, those who praised him and talked down at those of us who tackled him, are now coming out to say Buhari was a disaster
That is how Tinubu will waste another 8 years.
I was to turn 24 when Buhari took power in 2015, by the time he finished with the country I was 31 to turn 32. That is how massive 8 years is to be wasted by these men.
You people better wake up. Anyone who can restructure Nigeria is the one who can fix it. Nigeria problem is structural and monitized politics. Fixing these will fix a lot of things.

CyrusVI:

Aside the once in a while hard-to-avert road accident, its been a while we heard of travelers being kidnapped on their way to other states or even within


Herdsmen menace has reduced drastically and aside their continuous show of anger at the FG, UGM and ESN now have no reason to attack outsiders

Its hypocritical to deny this

God bless PBAT

If Nigerians catch u, they will unleash on u. It is not up to three weeks students were kidnapped sef. E no go better for people like u, honestly.

Reno is a total disgrace to humanity! Such a shameless man. lol

Abbeytoy:
I and my family do

If u have heart attack, do u have a health emergency number provided by the govt that u can call?
Did u know that if u are experiencing health emergency and security threat, u are going to die in Nigeria?
Except maybe u are super rich, or connected to serving politician.
So, how do u believe in such a country? If u are connected to politician or politcian ur self, u are one of the enemies of this country and one day, the poeple will fight back their oppressors who have made Nigerians travelers around the world seeking for greener pasture even in South Africa.

Mynd44:
But you should know President Tinubu spoke about this in 2019.

It was also what he based the tax laws in Lagos on.

We as a country want development, we want to grow but government earnings is very low. Which is why our National budget is ridiculous compared to other countries.

Government has to earn more the do more, but atleast in this case, the tax is not being increased, it is a matter of bringing in those who do not pay before to start paying. This isn't a burden on those already paying

Oga, u cant be taxing poor people. Nigeria has some of the poorest people on earth. The koko is govt running cost needs to drop by 60 percent.
Take a look at how we fund ex presidents, senators, govrnors. Imagine just ruling for 4 years, u enjoy for life. That is ridicolous.
When are we going to tell our selves the truth?
We spend so much to maintain politicians. This bad.
We have a very expensive system of govt with very expensive election system yet, we produce wack elections.
Can we cut down on the budget of national assembly, executives, MDs, and channel those funds into infrastructures that can aid generation of money such as investing the fund into agriculture, education to produce job creation citizens, health care to build world class health care system and attract foreigners to use our healthcare?
The list goes on. And for the record, Nigeria runs a useless system of govt that can never work.
Imagine such a huge country practising unitary federalism. We are jokers.
Nigeria is so big to have a centralized police system. It is a joke to do that. Most of our lives are affected directly in our states and local govt of residence, not Abuja. Yet, Abuja makes so much money and controls the entire country. How can someone in Taraba feel the impact of Abuja?
I just hate black race, especially, Nigerians. We have proven over and over again that we are wack humans who cant solve our own problem. We can see the solutions but we have failed to fix it. Decentralize Nigeria and allow states run their economy, security, resources and compete among them selves, and u will see how fast some regions will grow.
If we dont do this, forget it, in 100 years to come, Nigerians will be singing same songs.

Nazgul:
Those 2 countries have spent over 5 decades threatening each other with dangerous weapons without doing any actual fighting.

Both coutries have mutal destruction weapons. Both will lose, so no need to fight. Just make noise here and there and do som proxy wars here and there. lol

jay0:
It seems the truck is not insured. Go to the police station, get the officer in charge of the case to call the man, since the date for undertaking has passed, let them find a buyer for the truck, sell it off and collect your full money spent. Do not have mercy on the man because his actions shows he will do worse to you.

Thanks bro? But is this method legal? I doubt!
Though he messaged me yesterday and paid in 140k
He pleaded that he didnt see the cash yet and pleaded for extended time and to pay in installment. I accepted his plea. He will pay weekly for next three weeks to complete the payment before we can close the case at the police station.

TinubuBarawo:
same thing PDP did in enugu.
normally local government election na mere coronation.
this country has no business with democracy

I have said it before that the country should dish democracy and maybe find another system of govt. We spend a lot of money on democracy that is actually wack. The black race is struggling to understand democracy.
Complete waste of resources.
Becuase how can a party that has performed badly in over 8 years still win elections? In sane clime, is it possible? No

sunnymighty:
accept but make him sign an undertaking to that effect.

Alright bro, thank you very much. I will take him to on Monday to update his undertaking.

sunnymighty:
You could have insisted on the original documents of the truck and hand it over after completion of repairs.

Hmmm, maybe police are with that.
Also, he just replied my chat now and apologized for his mistakes. He further said he can pay me in installment across 4 weeks. Should I accept that?

Verydarkhearted:
No pictures your story is a fiction .. wake up from your dream.

What will I gain with fiction here? You are funny.
I didn't share pictures because there is no need for that. I have all pictures and recordings in my device.
I came here to seek for advice on what are my best options.

TinkTwice:
Baba try retrieve the truck from the police.. Repair minor issues in the truck and use am dey collect your daily Chaa.

No talk say I no give u update on.. And try to de...

OK bye

But you know police wont do this and I believe it is illegal

bluepreek:
He has yahoo-ed you....But you shouldn't panic coz so long the police has got his truck,no problem..


But what if, the typical Nigerian police whom we all know should go and collect bribe from the truck owner and release the truck to him without your consent? . Just thinking out loud tho....

I don't see police trying that. The man handling the case has recieved a call from a commissioner of police over the matter. The problem is with the man it self.
The option maybe taking him to court. I have never been to court. Will I win?

This type of people, what suites them best is taking soldiers to pick him up and he will raise money and fix my car. But I already involved police. I have no other option than court right now because he is not picking calls, not responding to messages. I was thinking the man is responsible.
I spent over 600k to fix the car. For this economy, with his attitude, I can't let go. He would have killed me or one other lady who stood behind my car waiting for taxi before she left. It wasn't up to 1 minutes that she left, before his illitrate driver smashed my car.

It happened that I parked my car on the sideway on a road. My store faces the road. Vehicles do park there close to their stores.
This truck driver while on a high speed, he didn't have wiper according to him. His wiper wasn't working, he had a collegue/conductor and they were carrying farm products. His second while the driver was on a high speed, cleaned the front glass without notifying the driver, this led to poor visibility and with such high speed, he lost control and ran straight to my car from the rear. It was a heavy smash. I already opened my car boot to place my generator inside to take it home since we already closed and my solar at home was already down. It could have killed me actually if not for a car that I got that delayed me taking the generator to my car boot. My car has a sport design and a luxury brand so, the book is not big, usually takes me time to place the generator inside carefully. This could have led to my death because the car would have ran into me.

I called the police when the accident happened. The owner of the truck came, pleaded and begged that I should take things easy that he would cover the cost of fixing my car. From the way he begged, I thought he was a reasonable human. I had mercy and agreed that I will just take things easy and he will cover the cost of my car. My car is barely 7 months old and was toks when I bought it.
Police came and tolled the truck to their station while I drove my car to the station.
We were asked to come the next day. I went there. Since he begged and was ready to cover the cost of fixing my car, I went there with the intent of peace.
I brought in pannel beater and my mechanic and the estimated cost was put at 580k after I decided to manage the boot, the silencer and the rear full light that had a crack. I said only the back glass which got broken into pieces and the rear bumber should be changed, then the car can be painted on the rear and pay the workmanship.
After they begged further, I decided that they should cover just 550k. I didnt add the tyre that got damaged. I was like I would cover those cost since he is begging and showed interest in covering the cost.
He wrote and signed an undertaking with the police that he would pay deposit the next day and pay the balance the coming saturday. He exchanged number with me and said I should call him by 2pm the next day, he would pay 300k naira as deposit.

Since I had the cash, I sent the amount to the mechanic to start sourcing for the part and fixing. I didn't want to delay my car. I have only one.
Fast forward the next day, he asked for my account details which I sent. This man since then has refused to pick call and has not reported at the police station.
This is so painful because I thought he is reasonable. I regreted following this path because I know how to handle such a person normally and he would have dropped the cash.
As at stands now, how do I recover my money? The police are with his truck as they said. His truck has no full light working, wiper doesn't work, traffigator light doesn't work. I don't know if he still values the truck.
What are my options, guys?

creolehunt:
Now, this is beautiful!!





What the guy said is true nah.

The logo is too simplistic and an upgrade would definitely be better.

Apple logo is just an apple. Not sophisticated. Don't waste energy on logo. Even if F word is Ur logo, if Ur brand is good, people will buy into et

Phone number to contact you?

Postinor:
Look at how we are all praying for his quick recovery,if this had happened in Nigeria some mumu unpatriotic Nigerians would have been happy and praying for the death of no 2 citizen

They didnt fly him out of the country for treatment

We cause our own here because they of no good. No hospital, no road, no electricity, and u want me to pray for them? I pray for no politicians as they are useless and wicked.

11doubledee:
Iran also has allies now,"almighty " Russia,North Korea,Yemen,Syria,Lebanon and Co.
You should blame Russia 🇷🇺, because of what use is their alliance?
Can't Russia sacrifice their warships and military assets too?
America will always do ANYTHING needed to protect Isreal and Saudi Arabia in the middle east.
That's just the fact.

Let me tell u a bit of something here. I understand you perfectly. But u see, China, Russia, were never interested in dominating the world. They just wanted to do business, grow their economy and avoid confronting American interests. It has always been America that wanted it all. China, Russia were ready to share but America wanted it all. If u check back, America and USSR have always had this issue. America wanted to piece USSR which their dream came true when the Sovient Union broke down. Russia remained the strongest from the union that broke up. Over the years, Russia tried to match up with what was obtianble from USSR, they tried their best and have really done well but America felt threatened and looked for ways to break Russia down further which would weaken the country. America wants no competitor in the global stage. They wants to call all the shots and everything.
So, all these years, Russia never wanted to put mouth in American interests and Russia had always prefered to dwell more in eastern Europe. They even had an agreement back in the days for NATO not to expand east way. That is in the Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, American owners are bloody greedy. Russia didnt really have much inteersts in the middle east and Africa.
It was during this war that Russia had to start playing the politics that America had been playing. Unfortunately, it is delayed. Russia cant catch up with America anytime soon. America has secret of almost every world leader and their military leadership that they will call u and tell u ur secret and ask u to either comply or they mess up. That is how they hold on to leaders across the world.
Now, Russia has started putting mouth into AMerican interests since America's sole aim is to weaken Russia. When they are through with Russia, they face China. The aim is simple: Weaken both Russia and China who are the only two countries seen that can rival America in 10 to 20 years time if they are not weakened now.
American politicians sit down in their parliament to debate about rising China's influence. U can imagine. How can the rise of another country be a headache to u if u are not a wicked human being? That is America for u.
Now, Russia has serious war going on. It was a war of existence of the Russia federation. So, providing support to Iran actually just started. Was it not about three months ago Russia signed deal with Iran? Same as North Korea.
What Russia did was make friends with those long time American enemies. Those countries that refused to bow to America but are weaker in technology. Russia started making friends with them in order to use their light weapon for the war while keeping Russian sophiscated newer weapons back in Russia.
Look at the game plan, make Russia fight and use up their most sophiscated weapon, then America would most likely come in, by then Russia would have been weak and cant fight or cause serious harvoc to US soil. America wins and declared winner. That is the strategy. But Putin knows this. Russia is not using any of her sophiscated weapons. It is all about drones and few missles for now. Not even their main war tanks are in use for now. They are been kept for serious aggression by foreign powers such as America. So, in order to avoid burning out their main weapons, they had to turn to countries like Iran, North Korea for these lighter weapons in return, they will transfer some tech to these countries.
It would take a while for Russia to start provide such type of assistance for their allies as this allie relationship is still new. They dont even trust one another. And Putin doesn't really have their data to coward them into submission, unlike America that has info about almost every president.
The world slept while America took over so much influence. Infact what made some countries to really considered working with Russia was because of how the US froze the account of almighty russia. They were like if it can happen to Russia, then who are we? They wants to a world not only controlled by America.
American hastened her destructive taste for Russia after the deal between Russia and German in gas supply. That deal would have given Russia so much money. America didnt want that.
A weaker or broken Russia is the aim of America. Nothing more. They are ready to drag the war until Russia burns out or broken through mass riots and protests.

Botragelad:
One thing you should never do is underestimate Israel. They will reach you anywhere. This is a mission well done.

Israel keeps picking on Iran like they are bunch of school kids! 😂
By the way we have been waiting for the so called Iran's retaliation for weeks now. Just noise and more noise! Lol

Here is the issue, the US and her allies usually quickly block Iran from striking the Israel. It is so unfair to the Iranians. Even though I dont like them, they get bullied by the US. US, sent 2 unprecented war ships to the middle east incase Iran responded. US and her allies, pressed Iran not to strike back, there were lots and lots of high delegate meetings to ensure Iran does not strike back.

Joshy4u:
You just spoke exactly what I always advocate for.
Some myopic mind that have not travelled to see how other Clines work will still be talking of vigilante? Naija have lots of dumb people that fan the embers of their heartless leaders.
A country where over 80% security personnel guide the few rich guys.

It is a shame honestly

uunwanaobong3:
If I were Putin, na to keep quite and allow Ukraine strike Russia with Atacams missiles, then used that to officially justify america involvement.

The first thing I will do is to sent nuclear weapon to space using electromagnetic pulse to fry all the satellites in the low earth orbit and as such the entire west is blinded and sent to dark ages... Yes Russia will also be affected.

Secondly na to make middle east so dangerous for American and European by supplying houtis, Taliban, Hezbollah, Iraqi and Syria resistance and government advances ballistic missiles and S400 air defence systems and help them to sink every aircraft carrier in Mediterranean, red sea and persia gulf region and sent the American out of middle east.


Thirdly, na to militarized Venezuela and Cuba to checkmate america right at their back door, pump them up with submarines, ballistic missiles, advance air defend and enough drones.

Fourthly,sent your submarines to surround america at the Atlantic and Pacific ocean and then warn america that you cannot guarantee their security through the ocean, sink some few american ships and make both Atlantic and Pacific ocean a nightmare for American to cross.

Explode nuclear czar warhead at the Atlantic ocean so that Americans will see what is coming to them if they keep escalating in Ukraine. And then give the west final warning.
Because it like men have no fear for nuclear war, show them what nuclear weapons looks like.

Set up your army and your people for nuclear confrontation. Prepare your underground bunkers and carried out a nationwide nuclear drills. When ones the west see that you are ready to end them all for Ukraine, they will back down.


If I be Putin , I for rubbish america all over the world and it is very easy to do that, because American assets and installations are all over the world. I would have turn America bases around the world to war zones by giving local resistance militant advance weapons to hit those bases and bring down their aircrafts and ships.


But Putin is too gentle and kind in this war, that is why the west/Ukraine is escalating.
Putin need to step up. He is not making full use of his power.
Zelenski has no business being alive and why is Kiev still standing?
Putin is just toying with Ukraine honestly.

Watch Gaza and see what war looks like, Ukraine is a childs play.

I honestly don't know why Russian Putin has been gentle. Even his allies are not happy with how gentle he is. Russia can fight this war to the end. They are blooded and cold hearted.
The thing is the war is against Ukraine and they are brothers. Funny enough, Russia is rarely using any new weapon here. They keep using old weapons.
It is a pity that Ukraine is the one suffering.

Joshy4u:
If the level of banditry, boko Haram and other crazy crimes/ high level of illiterates in Katsina is what is obtainable in Lagos, those stick carrying security arrangements would be crutced in few hours by the aforementioned. Even military is struggling there.
Every blame should be on FG until they arm the state properly.
So those your submission is not valid

I honestly don't know why blacks no get sense. Honestly, the country is too large to operate a centralised security system.
States should be viable enough to have their own security system, database, resources control and pay loyalty to FG. The FG should only take care of the external affairs and aggression. States should handle the rest. The states are closer to the people.
Why are we so hell bent on destroying our selves?
Worse part, we aren't doing anything to manage population growth and illiteracy. Omo na time bomb. Naija is gone and may never ever recover.

nedu666:
At times I wonder what exactly is the job of dss, nia, police and military. These guys are just operating freely. Kidnapping hundreds on foot not even car

The security people work only when the interest of the politicians are affected.
That is why you see them work and track protesters but can't track bandits.
If U talk about Nigeria breaking up today, dss will track U this night.
That is to let U all know that politicians don't give a Bleep about U and will only act if their interests are affected.

illicit:
How does he intend to tackle insecurity...

I have always believed that Tinubu is a bold man but nah, he is not. Herders are the major reason foods are expensive as the foods avalable are limited. Ban open grazing in Nigeria, period. Order secret to shoot at sight any cow and herders seen in the bush.
U need a very tough action in that area.
Tinubu is bold enough to push Nigerians into suffering by removing fuel subsidy but lacks the power to end herders menance. That is weakness.
Let the heaven falls. I would ban open grazing, order security men to shoot at sight any herders seen with cow in the bush.
Any community herders attacked again, the police and military rulers of such communities and state would be changed, and detained to explain why they couldnt. The new ones will not waste time to shoot at any herder found in the bush. They should buy land and build ranches like every other business person in Nigeria.

trutharena:
Reno, you make some valid points.

Abeg, make una rest. Politicians spend so much. Are u guys really ready for thhis talk?
Do u know how much goes underground in Nigeria? Who and who has been persecuted?
Ur politicians budget heavily on luxury cars and luxury homes from tax payers money and money generated from oil. These are the issues.
Citizens cant be suffering while politicians enjoy. let all of us suffer then. Tibunu changed a jet when he wasnt supposed to. I am sure na one of those gigs to reward one of his boys. It has not been long that he bought yatch in billions. We spend billions to feed them, can u imagine how much we spend to run politicians?
These cost should be cut down drastically. Let only those who want to serve to rule.
Now, how many past leaders have been sent to jail? How many past commissioners have been sent to jail and money recovered? Abeg, make una rest with these nonsense talks. Nigeria is not a serious country.
