[*DUE TO THE PROLIFERATION OF "SMART" SCAMMERS PROWLING SOCIAL MEDIA IT IS IMPERATIVE TO ONCE AGAIN ADVICE ALL TO PROTECT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT*

_IF YOU DO MOBILE BANKING from your phone, there is need to put a PIN on your SIM, otherwise your account can be wiped clean anytime you lose your phone_ _or your phone is stolen_ .

The process to do is very simple but if ignored can cost you all Your life savings.

_Please let's be safe!!!_ author=jaybenugo post=99459136]A suspected local yahoo boy who was arrested by the police has revealed how he transfers money from people's bank account using just his victim's SIM and Bank Verification Number (BVN), IgbereTV reports.

Speaking in Yoruba, the suspect while being interrogated, said he uses the bank codes on any sim card that receives bank alerts to transfer money to another account which he has access to. He also mentioned that he takes loans from the banks of any sim card he lays his hands on

I believe all these these will stop the day a serious person takes a bank to court and make them pay damages

With US current position.I don’t know the direction of that Bitcoin

America doesn’t follow anything it can’t control the source

Very interesting.Following

The only Yoruba Movie I love so much is TALONGBEMU (Who dey carry nose).

It was released in 2001 and I think it was the first major production of Mr. Latin (Not Sure).

Around 2006, I went to Eko Idumota and rumaged through the entire Movie Section at (Ebinpejo Lane or so) looking for this movie and I couldn't get it.

Well, I stopped watching Yoruba Movies long time ago since they only promote Cultism, Oloshoism, Armed-Robbery & other useless societal vices but - there can never be any Yoruba Movie as interesting & funny as TALONGBEMU BABA ONI WAIDI.

Mr. Latin, if you're seeing this, kindly make TALONGBEMU available for us.

There is one of his movies I have been looking for.He was a dullard and the daughter caught up with him in primary school until one baba do jazz for him, he graduated with 1st class in university,later became a councilor and later governor I think and he later died after his gateman chased the baba away.Do you know the name?

Work for an airline is usually a part time job for many. I met many bank managers, lawyers, businessman working there. The pay is not much except you want to do it as a career and work in the office.

Otherwise Field workers are divided into above wing ( customer services issuing tickets, gate officers) and below wing ( those who bring in the planes, load bags etc).Below wing mostly work outside. You either work with the main company like Delta, United, Sun Country or their subsidiaries where pay is less and work conditions not as good or permanent. As a worker I got to fly unlimited throughout America and 25 times overseas with my immediate family. 25 for my parents no matter what County they are in. If you travel to Nigeria like once or twice a year, that's a savings of $2000 to $4000 (economy) and $10,000 to $20,000 if business class and if you have a spouse and 3 kids, multiple that.

You mean if you work only 8 hours a month in an airline as a second job, anytime( no matter the number of times) you want to travel to Nigeria, it’s free for you and family?

thebosstrevor1:
I don't think government will block your number.

Government need to be smart, you can't just force everyone at ones to register their info, it doesn't make sense, there should be a policy of gradualism.

Security purpose.If you kidnap a person it will now be easier for government to track and link to bank account and other source

Has this being confirmed pls...Ubong king has being a blessing to me personally

Great tips

Nigeria will soon become the new coronavirus epicenter..no social distancing or masks..smh

Apt, mentioning Ifeanyi Onyejekwe tells me you from Onitsha too

Yes, Onitsha Akanabo

Eating too much of those without exercising can take you to the doctors office too

Don’t focus only on spirituality unless you will fall into a ditch in life, instead work harder and practice more on learning new skills and becoming more versatile

Now you've said what you do with your money. You sure made it seem as if you have been struggling in vain. He chose to build a house and you chose to help family. I am very sure you have an American passport and think of the next available flight when you want to travel to almost any destination not about the bureaucratic process of obtaining a visa. Your future and that of your offspring is secure. If you can leave everything you had going for you in Nigeria why shouldn't he?

I am a Canadian permanent resident who left a well paying job in Nigeria and have never regretted it. Its a beautiful world out here and I would encourage anyone who wants and has a means of leaving Nigeria legitimately to do so.

You can imagine the value of the naira when you left and the value now. Very soon, there will be no middle class in that country. You are either poor or you are rich.
If you will indulge me, please let me know your reason for leaving Nigeria and if you regret your decision.

That was a great insight you made in your post. My reason was I felt I needed an international experience and education to fulfill my childhood dream of building a company and providing jobs for people in my community.When I was little I saw old women who should have been retired carrying heavy tray pans on their heads to market to eke out living so it motivated me to try and make a difference in my community no matter how little. I went for my masters program and close to completion there was a program Obama started then which was called MAVNI (Trump scrapped it)for people interested in joining the military.I enlisted an became a citizen shorty after my basic training. I served out my contract and started working with a contractor company that worked with my unit when I was in service because the military most times train you in good career field that can fetch you comfortable income until you retire.The difference between America and Nigeria is very wide in terms of the experience and opportunities.It broadened my horizon and outlook and life.The more you show passion the more they continue pushing you up your career ladder.It’s like there is no limit until you retire unlike Nigeria but you will get to a point here in your life and realize that good food,health care,house,cars,careers etc eventhough good, is not really the main thing we need in this world but the main thing we need is covered in the chaos and disorderliness of Nigeria .Americans are nice and all that but they don’t have communally deep and sincere relationships like I grew up with.You can be friends here with a neighbor or co worker but the only fact you know about them is where they work,love for dogs, goes to watch basketball games Friday nights etc..nothing deep and you see folks surrounded by ‘friends’ and still lonely.The problems here are mostly with people unlike Nigeria where it is with government always ie you can easily start a multi million dollar business here but lack of workers is a recurring problem that may ruin that business.You are excited about the the new system now but one day you will realize those things that excite you now are things that are taken for granted and by then you will realize the importance of positive change in our communities in Africa..and not wait for it to come from the government

His father is Obi Onyejekwe, he was the Obi of Onitsha but died in 1970. He served as a policeman at Owu where he impregnated Okikiola's mum. Sunday Vanguard made it a feature article years ago, between 2000-2003.

The curious fact about the whole thing is that as at 1933 when ObJ was born Obi Onyejekwe was serving as a DPO in Abeokuta(same area in Egba where OBJ was born) though he later retired as a federal commissioner of post independence Nigeria police force(equivalent to a DIG today). Obi Onyejekwe from people who knew him was stubborn,very innovative and strong willed personality just like OBJ..as a king he made the law that protected Onitsha inland town lands from being bought off by outsiders and still stands till today.I heard the rumors that the king refused to acknowledge OBJ paternity when he came to him for help and out of frustration OBJ joined the army and God opened doors for him as it lifted him out of abject poverty and made him one of the most successful men in Nigeria.People had expected the man’s children to come out and debunk this OBJ rumor but instead Ifeanyi and the retired teacher never wants that topic mentioned..they are very nice people but they view that topic as touchy for a reason I don’t know why .Off topic: many Onitsha people identify themselves more to Benin ancestry than ibo the reason they are called “Onitsha Ado n’iduu” meaning Onitsha people of Edo origin

So mugu is stopping you front returning back to naija ?

Did I mention I wasn’t returning to Nigeria? I do and can only do that permanently when I retire.Nobody travels anywhere without a plan already there

Hannania:
E be things oooo�. You've worked in the US for "years" without a car, and thats a measure of excellence or achievement ?
May i ask what you do there ? Because the last time i checked, economy and social wise in all perspective, US is 200% more than Nigeria(sadly).

The only persons advocating for persons to remain in Nigeria are those looting, or those benefitting from the loot. In your case, those without perfect or legal grounds in the said country they are. Shalom

Anybody can own a car in US.It’s not achievement..just like buying a new shoe in Nigeria.You don’t have to be only a politician or yahoo buy to make money in Nigeria.There are thousands of legitimate ways which the youths don’t research on because of a lazy mindset of focusing on the criminals throwing money around in the society.Many business men are exporting cashew seeds and other related items and making millions of naira per shipment,many people are working customer care jobs for US companies from home and earning at least $2k per month,many Nigerians have learnt programming from YouTube videos and are now employed and earning thousands of dollars legitimately from overseas companies etc Nigeria is a beautiful country with lots of opportunities if you truly understand what is happening..the same reason the same set of people are getting rich is not voodoo ritual they did, but seeking ,researching and using information majority of the underprivileged do not care about

maternal:
Who's stopping you from returning to naija ?

From your write-up, I can say that you either entered the US illegally or you are one of them lazy Nigerian youth as propounded by PMB. You can never build a sky scrapper by doing an eight to four job. Ask anybody who in your books or eyes have made it. You will have to break your back one way or another no matter the economy you find yourself.

It is an insult to the US to classify their economy as same with Nigeria's. If after YEARS of working in the US you have nothing to show for it, I honestly think it's time you throw in the towel and head on back home. Maybe just maybe your grass will be greener on the other side.

If advice is to be given based on personal experience, you are part of the tiny fraction of sorry cases of Nigerians whose life other sadist use as example to discourage others from taking that leap of faith and finding out just what life holds out for them.Here in the US too I am not rich and I lack nothing either.I am a proud US military veteran and I vote in every election and I enjoy the same quality of life as the same leaders as buhari that kept you guys in perpetual torment of frustration and poverty and I am not interested in meeting people like you because it I don’t really need it

Do you know the number of people in my family that I am their benefactor? ..that look up to me for survival...young youths like you who are either schooling or not working in Nigeria? You have never known responsibility of living overseas and having many dependents at home to support.I gained admission in 1997 in Nigeria with 2 trousers,2 shirts,a shoe and 100 Naira but the same system lazy youths condemn daily is the same I worked through to give myself a comfortable life before I moved here in US. A lot of youths spend their whole lives online bad mouthing Nigeria not knowing that if you don’t make your lives good in your country first ,no country would allow you entry. Here in the US too I am not rich and I lack nothing either.I am a proud US military veteran and I vote in every election and I enjoy the same quality of life and health care as the same leaders like buhari that kept Nigeria backwards

Why would you leave something that is working for you for one that is not? No country is perfect.Would you prefer to be overseas and have nothing.I have worked here in US for years now and I have not bought a single land and you are on your second house ..nawao The tempo of work is faster here than Nigeria and you might develop high blood pressure or diabetes trying to keep up.If you don’t mind , I have a brother in Enugu who is not working, can I send him to you so that you teach him the programming ..US is almost the same with Nigeria if you have income.There are good schools and hospitals In Nigeria and in many places you can stay years without hearing a gun shot.I will advice you stay in Nigeria while you visit Canada.

I suspect that was the snake that killed my friend about 15 years ago.He went to poo in the bush at night without light and mistakenly stepped on it and he never survived that bite.They took him to all the native healers in Nigeria but he still died.It’s advisable to always move with torch light at night because that saved me one night during my NYSC .I was walking on a lonely pathway and flash my light to a black snake that covered the way.When I mobilized an came back it wasn’t there anymore.

Sixfeetbelle:
Because it's obvious men are doing a very horrible job at it. Where you guys doing so well, would anyone feel the need to challenge it?

It’s a deep slight on the man’s ego

Family was against her but he still went ahead and married her..it always ends badly and secondly the best time to marry as a man is when you don't have money because if you do after you have money,what you will end up with is a greedy thief and w hore who will package themselves to you a decent wife material

kalu61:
Africa culture place such responsibility on the man first

Women of nowadays are now jumping against culture and assuming that responsibility and its very sad

That is the problem with many Nigerians.Imagine not satisfied with a decent paying job like that and still wants to make more money from the back door .They will definitely fire him and put that on his record and then he will become dependent on his Nigerian wife and boast online about how he makes 8 figures in America...just shows that most times the average Nigerian blame their leaders when they themselves are the problem

No US is not like Nigeria that change policies on a whim .Nigeria must fulfill those conditions they set out even if it takes Nigeria 5 years.Trump with his position could not even remove the ban Obama placed on Russia.America is more about the system already in place and not individual show of power

Teacher4Life:
Some years ago, while conducting a workshop for a group of educators in Kaduna, I asked a question. "Why do students fail?" The reasons provided by these educators were numerous, but also quite logical. Some of these reasons include poor teaching, laziness on the part of students, inattentiveness, ignorance, social media, parents, exam malpractice, learning disability, peer pressure etc. As I listened to those educators reel out these factors and lots more, it became clear to me that all these reasons had one common denominator, that is, poor learning or no learning at all. Students record poor academic performance when learning is either insufficient or at zero level.

Over time, I came up with a working definition for learning. Learning is the process of converting external ideas or concepts into personal and secure information. Students who thrive well academically have simply learnt how to convert external concepts into personal and secure information. In other words, such students now own the information. Of course, you can convert concepts in a thousand and one ways, depending on individual differences.

Learning is not cramming. In cramming, students secure the information but don't personalise it, and so it never lasts. You can personalise information by paying attention to the why, what, how, where etc. of the concept from which the information is derived, not by cramming. I do not outrightly condemn cramming, however, learning holds greater benefits. Cramming can be done hastily, but true learning takes time. So, learning entails asking relevant questions. In fact, it's a process, not an event.
