Even if I switch to startimes, will it stop others from getting ripped off? No.

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right section but please bear with me. Yesterday I went with my husband to the DSTV office @ shoprite Abuja in order to renew our subscription. My husband asked if they had POS because he wanted to use his debit card.
To our greatest shock & surprise we were told by the lady that if he is using his card, his card would be debited with an additional N170 for bank charges.
He obviously declined & opted to pay cash. but if he were in a hurry & could not wait to queue up @ the -always busy- atms he would in the usual Nigerian fashion grumble & tell her to go ahead & debit his account.
Now my question is this, if the CBN is telling us to be a cashless society, why on earth should I pay more to use my card? Is the aim of the policy not being defeated? If these company's are using it as an excuse to illegally rip their clients off shouldn't they be called to order?

Wow! God bless $ keep this union.
BTW FTC. Yeah

The sad truth is Nigerians don't know what 'personal space' is. Any where there is a queue, u will find someone touching you. & yes, it drives me up the wall!

Lavender na AUNTY oh!

The only remedy I'm aware of is seeing a speech therapist. Don't know if there are any in Nigeria though. All the same I wish you all the best on Monday.

jennykadry: I sometimes avoid the travel section because of the hate some Nigerians based in that shait hole of a country called nigeria, spew. To be quite honest I believe it's just jealousy, jealous of fellow Nigerians who were lucky and blessed enough to get a life outside Nigeria. I know and believe that some of you wished that you could travel outside Nigeria and live in the westernized world for as long as you want instead of visiting with a few months visa and returning back to that cursed nation.

I AM NOT PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN and I have my reason,so the rest of you who wished you had the kind of lives we have here can get your 1 dollar bill and put it where your mouth is. Not too long ago a NLDER started a thread on dual nationality, the way some people who have no international passport let alone visa hated the Nigerians who are dual nationals was enough to cause problems on that thread. Even politicians-the government know that our country Nigeria ruin more lives, causes more harm than good to it's citizens and thought it necessary to fly their children outside the country for a better life, a better education and better opportunities. I am ashamed of that country Nigeria. Renewing a foreign passport in my current location is as easy as and can be done in the comfort of my own home but Nigeria made life hell for a lot of us who wanted to renew their passports. I was treated so rudely in my own country's high commission that I had to walk away in anger. If I walk into any AUSTRALIA High commission, I am treated like a VIP, well taken of, listened to, spoken to with respect and they sort out whatever issues I had with the snap of a finger.....yet the rest of yous expect some of us to clap for Nigeria or come back to that country for good? a country I visited recently and NEPA proved themselves as usual, a country where the citizens were flogged like children at the immigration office in Lagos, citizens like you and I only wanting to get their passports.

A recent thread about a nigerian woman who angrily swore to tear her nigerian passport is trending now and as usual, those haterz are there calling her names. SHUT UP and give her the $300 dollars she wasted there and stop making noise. Many Nigerians have been told to come for appointments only for them to get there and be turned back cos of faulty equipment that had gone bad for months without them telling these people about it. Go to your international airport in Lagos and see the curse that place has become, many things there are key and start cos they are trying to "save electricity".

I am going to say this to all you hating nigerians living in diaspora that you lot should go on your knees and pray to whatever being you serve so that we remain here cos if some of us professionals with high standards decide to relocate back to Nigeria.....ALL OF YOU WILL BE JOBLESS, YOUR JOBS WE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOU AND OUR PAY WILL BE QUADRUPLED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT PEOPLE INTELLECTUALLY BLESSED HAVE GRACED THEIR PRESENCE"......in other words shuuushhhh and be thankful to us cos without us staying abroad, some of you people will be begging on the streets for food.

Don't hate us cos we appreciate countries who have given us more than we could have asked for, don't blame us for not regarding that shait hole of a country called Nigeria. Why should I be proud of Nigeria? why should I have hope in Nigeria?when even the government know that nothing good is forth coming into and from that country, cos if they believed, they wouldn't pay millions to keep their families outside Nigeria.

YES MY NAME IS JENNIFER KADRY AND I TYPED THIS.......Hit your heads and thank you very much.

I feel sad for you because you say cursed country. But don't you think that makes you cursed? You can have all the passports in the world but sorry dear you can't change your cursed DNA. I'm just sad that with all your education & exposure you decided to be like your haters. So my dear how are you better than them? Do you also mind changing your cursed NIGERIAN surname?

coogar:

you can advise your brother or male relatives to marry her, it's not too late.

. There is nothing to it, all the so called "good girls" ehn, if u knew the skeletons in their closet, u would call Ese a saint

All you people judging, the lady has made peace with herself & God. Like it or not God has forgiven her. How many people can do what this strong lady has done? My sister,God bless you real good. And by His grace u will find a husband who will love you & stand by you no matter what.

Pls people should stop twisting things. Angelo said that he quarreled with Bev because she wanted sex. @ no point did he mention MORE SEX. He said he stayed true because of his mum. (Meaning he never had sex in the house)

All of the above!

We tend to digress from the main issue. Decency is not the question here. 7up & coke -the difference is clear, ashawo or not Davidos girl beats hands down!

Well my dear, I am also fat,very fat but that doesn't make me look down on myself. I am sure other men still make passes @ you so why do u feel u need to be grateful to him for dating (using) you? He met you fat (not like you became fat after you started dating - I hope?) So he knew what he was getting into from the get go. So until you decide to do somthing about your weight, maintain your pride and don't allow ANYONE to treat you like dirt. Besides, I have seen guys with slim model like babes cheat with bigger ladies & vice versa so I guess cheating is not ALL about size.

Well finally they have put Bassey up for eviction. But really what was that all about? If they were experiencing technical glitches then they should have put it up on the site. Unless of course, it was an error, then ..........

I just watched the big brother nomination show and saw that there were five nominees namely Angelo Annabel Bassey Dillish & Pokeloh. But when I went to the voting page on the site Basseys name is not there. Only four out of five names is there.(@the time of this post) Can someone tell me what that is all about? Are some housemates being given an unfair advantage? Voting has started.... Please those online now should go to bigbrotherafrica.dstv.com/ & click on vote, then vote now. PLEASE tell me my eyes are not deceiving me.
