Exactly!

The agency works for the rich only, so it's no different than any other in Nigeria.

About two weeks ago, I wrote them that paystack illegally withheld my earnings and later refunded the money back to the senders for a service that I already provided to the customer. One was a gift. They refunded all without me nor the sender asking for a refund.

I checked online and saw that when Paystack did same thing in Ghana, it was the Central Bank of Ghana and similar agency like the FCCPC that intervened and recovered the money for the citizen. So, I emailed the FCCPC twice but they didn't reply. I emailed the CBN, EFCC, and others. No reply, except that the CBN sent an auto reply.

No agency came to my aid, and that's how I lost the money. I've been depressed ever since.

I've lost all hope in Nigeria as a country. I no longer believe in Nigeria. This country and it's institutions is completely useless to the citizens who they're meant to serve. There's no hope for those of us who don't have "connections" I wrote about it in details at https://www.africason.com/2025/11/save-me-from-depression-and-possible.html

I just went through your blog via the link you posted. Asking for support for lawyers can come off as a red flag so you know, and then threatening your readers with self-harm isn't really the best. I know you are depressed but 'll advise that you take that part down and focus on a more positive experience with your readers. The support will come in due time. Stay Strong!!

What?
His time has reached, his clock has stopped.
Everyone should know that we all have our time of death.
The good you do is what you will be remembered for.
Money or position cannot stop death.
Let all politicians take note.
May his soul R.I.P.

Make no mistake dude, there is an appointed time for everyone's death. However, you can by your own hands cut short your time. I strongly believe that today isn't his appointed time.

The Edo governor is more interested in canvassing votes for Tinubu in 2027 than fixing the state's road.

Lol. The things women take to their grave will surprise you

Druss:
The Bible says it clearly. Each line below gives the requirements for change to occur. If these do not occur, you are wasting your time.

If my people who are called by my name

Should humble themselves

And pray

And turn from their wicked ways

Then I will hear them and I will heal their land.

Bible also say when the righteous rule, the people rejoice. You cant vote in wicked people in all forms of Government and expect prayer to change things.

This is the funniest thing I've read in this section so far.

This is why it's good to go to and wed in a church where you will be taught marriage class before wedding, all these questions would have been answered if a church is in sync with the happenings in this world so that young couples don't go astray or be confused like yourself. It is still troubling that your wife is a leader among the women, it means she'll teach any young wife how to switch off the light and have missionary sex through out her lifetime with her husband

Well for me, as far as the marriage bed is kept undefiled, everything is permissible on the marriage bed. The only sex my spirit isn't comfortable with at all is anal and maybe oral to an extent. But if you like hang her on the ceiling, do it in the kitchen, bathroom, office, brother it's not a sin before God.

Pray one satanic choir girl no jam you,

Normal life. If those in power wanted to end insecurity, they would easily.

If your post highlighted the ills of the red pill movement and talked about how they are contrary to the word of God, your post would have been more informative.

I have been among Christian women all my life and they still manifest the same entitlement mentality that worldly women have and the Red Pill speaks against.

Biblically or should I say according to Jewish customs, once the bride price has been paid, they are now husband and wife. Since sex is only permitted between couples in the sight of God, a couple can technically have sex after their traditional marriage however isn't also better if they take their vows before God and allow a Man of God bless their union?

Sex that you will have endlessly in marriage, what is a few days or weeks that you can't wait till you take your vows before God?

What you said makes sense but bro, women are necessary evil.

They make the world colorful in their own way. Besides, there are exceptions amongst women and even if the exceptions don't negate the overall rules, one can be lucky to meet a woman who deserves a man's all.

People like us are no longer angered by women's games instead, we've accepted it and learnt to dish it out to them in the same dose.

Men just need more awareness and wake up call, don't hate the game, learn to play it too.

I'm all for men respecting themselves among women but honestly, we need women. Emotion and logic are two ingredients needed in life. You need a woman to be able to give emotions since men are mostly emotionless.

Unfortunately, women are learning to be emotionless now which makes OP's point valid. When most women get the only thing men can offer them which is money like you all claim, they'll have no need for men any longer.

Gird up boys, it's going to be a long life if you're not lucky enough to get a good woman.

I don't even know if we're practicing democracy because there's no freedom of speech anymore.

Nigerians don't take swimming lessons seriously.

This is great. Lagos is really setting the precedent I can't lie. The whole states should follow put. I've never seen this meticulous inspection in Delta here.

All talk and paper. Let's see the cases. If it's yahoo boys, you would brand them but hide the major ones that have looted our country dry. Hypocrites.

Everyone has a reason for charging in dollars, including Eko Hotel and Suites. Keep destroying your economy. Tomorrow, someone will still blame the white man for it.

NPA is a government agency that should show example. If Eko Hotel are charging in dollars, it's because they have greased the palm of Govt officials to look the other way.

So I opened this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/7995603/should-worried

And I share the experience I had with my girlfriend concerning the issue of bearing my name. To my shock almost everybody started insulting me.

This shows how far we've falling as a nation. We lack basic morals. Everyone is vile and uncultured. Tomorrow we will blamed our leaders whereas we are worse than them. It's a shame.

Nlanders can be vile truly but some mature ones always comment and you can take those advice but it seems you're too emotional to get the general consensus. Let me see if I can help you out because I just went through the thread.

1. A gf telling you that she won't change your to your name in an assertive manner counts as a red flag, it should have been more like a suggestion to you with reasons tangible not because the world is changing.

2. She flared up when you brought about your children's name and called it childish question. You're too emotional and you may end up being a doormat.

3. Even your elder brother condemned the ridiculous situation and you're bitching over strangers when they did same??

4. We can now truly assert that we unfortunately still have weak men everywhere.

Daughters are the really sweet sha. If na teenage guys, dem go dy reason say so popsy and mumsy still dy active?

The same girlfriend who wants you to have anal with her?

Wetin I find come here sef?

If anyone needs the version 7 of easy worship and the offline bible version let me know

I need it brother. Thanks

From the most responses in this thread, it just reinforces the notion that women are inherently selfish. Most times, the hubby will even be clueless about what is happening but of course, he should be a mind reader. The tremendous pressure on a man to provide stability for his home becomes a 'normal thing' while we ought to pay most attention and pamper a woman for contributing her own quota to the home.

Life no truly balance for men.

solmusdesigns:
Take consolation in the fact that Your Brother in law was also not a virgin before marrying your sister and he damage other women

It's karma

What sort of fuckery is this? How did you come into conclusion that the man made other ladies abort and what does not being a virgin have to do with this?

Lagos and by extension many Nigerian cities are very dirty sha

Ideally, it is the job of the local DISCO, not the job of PHCN. PHCN does not exist. Discos and gencos and TCN have replaced it.

But as to why consumers contribute...this one is easy.


Nigerians are not paying cost reflective tarrifs for electricity. Additionally, over 30% of us do not pay for the power we use.(If you think I am lying...google for the PwC report Solving the Liquidity crunch in the power sector).

As a result, your local DISCO is owing money, and at least 3 of them have been taken over by the banks. Up till today...many of our DISCOS have not broken even. THREE of them, and I mean three of them, have been taken over by their creditors, one has been taken over defacto by the government.

Why...because Nigerians do not want to pay their power bills at market price. We think we must have power for free.


Meanwhile, GSM companies, if the antenna spoil, dem go replace am. Your local provision store owner, if he runs out of milk today, he will replace it within a few hours, if not tomorrow latest....because they are allowed to do something the power sector is not allowed to do. Sell at market price.


This is the result of not letting DISCO set prices.....you will be asked to contribute for your generator.


I went to a private school for primary school, and then for secondary school, na government school I go. My school fees in the primary school were at one point three times what I eventually was paying in the government secondary school I went to....yet in the primary school, in over 6 years of being there it was two times I bought exercise book for myself...the second time, because the supplier was late,and I was advised to buy a book...anyway, normal service was resumed in a few days.

When I entered secondary school, I was paying cheap school fees. Guess what......in my six years there I was buying all my exercise books and stationeries and textbooks while there. Something that in my private primary school..they were issuing us textbook.



Let us all pay a cost reflective tarrif.......and you will see your disco provide you with high quality transformer that would last 300 years. Not this one where we pretend power is cheap, and where in some areas half the population thinks it is free of charge. Ok o.

You're absolutely right. But let's ask ourselves, what's the purchasing power of Nigerians?

There are people still collecting less than the minimum wage, you expect those people to pay cost reflective tariff? If the country was working, one should be able to pay for electricity even if you are receiving minimum wage.

Let's also not forget that these DISCOS favour estimated bills to giving prepaid meters because they make more money with estimated billings.

1. I was just under his stomach struggling, kicking and screaming that he should let me go that my mom is going to beat me. Immediately he stood up and I ran out of the house.

2. One day he told me that there's an opening that I should come let's discuss how I'll go about it. I went there and as soon as I entered his house he shut the door, threw the key in a far corner of his room and pushed me on the bed. Gosh! I felt like my life was over. I started screaming, I pushed and pushed and kicked until he got tired and stood up. I told him to open the door before I do something stupid he now opened and I left.

I'll never support rape but these are the reasons why I hardly believe any girl that throw rape stories around, except a guy threatens you with a weapon, he'll likely not have his way if you fight like hell.

Ladies be wise and stay safe.

blackpanthar:
MOHAMMED has never be hated and discredited as much as JESUS CHRIST.

Mohammed Makes sense BUT JESUS CHRIST DOESN'T

Mohammed in Islam taught Violence towards NON-BELIEVERS but Jesus never did.

Even comedians are wise never to joke with islam, but can JOKE WITH CHRISTIANITY

The name JESUS has become an EXCLAMATION word.


MY CONCLUSION IS............

JESUS MUST BE THE REAL DEAL if everyone is trying to silence his works, his followers and also discredit his existence.

You can discredit and post weak evidences all you want BUT FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER BE UNWISE. His teachings have proven to be transgenerational..... HIS WORDS ARE LIFE AND HIS MIRACLES.......... NO RELIGION COMES CLOSE TO IT... ABOVE ALL.... His LOVE AND FORGIVENESS.... no one can live up to it.

He is LOVE... He forgives the most heinous crimes....

IN THIS WORLD OF OPTIONS........ I would choose HIM a billion times.

NOW TELL ME, HOW MAN COULD MAKE SUCH A CREATURE WITH QUALITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS SO OUT OF THIS WORLD.... and Man has not replicated more of him since then?

How can MAN MAKE ONLY ONE of the best version and yet the so called makers couldn't not improve on it or make something better.

My God!!! I shouted when I read your post!!

They don't understand, this God eh, it's more than one proof gotten from any research. We have seen Him, felt Him, experienced Him, in Him we breathe, live and our whole essence is Him.

Jesus over everything!!!

Nothing dy sup, he don pay.

Sex is actually overrated but beautiful when you have it with the right person.

Pathetic.. Proof that money alone doesn't get you women. Game very important

Even on Nairaland, the way Igbos and Yorubas attack themselves, it's a wonder. I'm sure most of them go to churches every Sunday. It's pathetic.

Most of us that aren't Igbos and Yorubas just watch in amazement.

Very striking is the promotion of Pastors in Churches in the west. I have witnessed it first hand how difficult it is for someone outside the tribe to advance.

May God help us.
