Also, you need to read more and broadly, you'd come to understand that most of the inventions you reeled out were originally from black men who were denied their rights and recognition by way of the whitrman's "Patent".

Hi Giwa,

Before we proceed I do not have any dog in this race politically. I live and work in Lagos, so that's my only interest.

Moving on...
On your first point you note that the FG owes Lagos over ₦51bn, however, this has been since 2014(!) and as you rightly noted too, Lagos was not in "opposition hands" since 2015. This is 2023, Lagos and FG have been "in sync" for over 8 years. If they can't fix the debt payment in 8 years, what good would another 4 years do?
If anything, this is proof that the APC-led governments have not been competent enough even though they control both states.

Point 2, you say Lagos needs Federal presence, and in your words

If the APC is returned to office, giving Lagos the opportunity to be on the side of the federal government for the first time, all abandoned Federal Government buildings and projects can be put to better use and completed.

However, Lagos and FG have been "on the same side" i.e controlled by the same political party for the past 8 years, so this doesn't really hold water. So unlike what you said (bolded) this is not the first time that Lagos would be "on the side" of the FG

3. Same point. Same government for over 8 years so any recognition should have been gotten within that period.

4. This is false. Lagos alone does not contribute 70% to VAT, rather Lagos AND Rivers State combined contribute 70%.
Moreover the issue raised here is not peculiar to Lagos and doesn't need to be solved by having the same party rule both states.
Rivers is an opposition controlled state but suffers the same fate that Lagos, which has been in the hands of the ruling party for over 8 years suffers.
Yeah, doesn't hold water. Sorry.

5. Sorry but I don't see how the environmental status of Lagos has anything to do with politics and the ruling party?

6. This point is patently false too.
I) Lagos is not the only state that has to feed it's generated electricity to the grid
ii) Discos are privately owned and not like you said "in the hands of the opposition" so again your point doesn't hold water.

7. In that case that applies to every state and so we should be a one party Nation if opposition parties ruling states stifles the development of that states.
I also wonder what the function of the governor is if every blame in the development of the state can be ascribed to the FG?

8. Again, like I've mentioned Lagos and the FG have been in the same party for more than 8 years. The Apapa mess is still there. So why do we continue with the status quo for another 4 years??

9. ?? Makes no sense. People from different ethnicities are in different states. Although I will concede that Lagos has the highest mixture.
I still don't see how that has to mean that the FG and the state government have to be the same party??

10. This is not really a point so skipping it.


In summary, from the points you've raised you mention that certain problems will be fixed if only the FG and Lagos are "in sync" i.e controlled by the same state, but ironically they've been "in sync" for over 8 years and nothing has changed.
Make of that what you will.

SLAP44:
That tribalism is dying in Nigeria.

On the contrary.

1 million Naira — or 10 — does not make you "financially free"

blowjohn:
This limit is one of the reasons banks can decide to pay people 2k, 5k, or 10k max.

No. That's not the reason. The reason is that they don't have enough cash on hand so they ration the available one.

The designation of CEO has been abused by Nigerian women.
Sole proprietorships do not have CEOs.
By their reasoning then even the mallams who run kiosks are CEOs too.

8 out of 10 Nigerian prostitutes name na Joy. Why?

Because they give you joy

May the best man win. I can't wait for these elections to be over

pat077:
do people have accounts domicile with them? i know they are a payment processing gateway.

They offer storefront services (like Shopify) so they have merchant accounts.

sulaak:
Fake news, Flutterwaves was not hacked; they released a communique that they did routine checks on their customer's platform and advised them to improve their security interface, similar to the introduction of Cloudfare WAF on Nairaland.

I'm more inclined to believe they were hacked or similar. There is abundance of evidence (on Twitter for instance) that users have had their accounts placed on PND at the request of Flutterwave; there has also been affidavit (attached) verifying this.

https://twitter.com/UfedoDavid/status/1632441896768241667?s=20
A "routine check" will not have them filing affidavits or requesting banks to place users accounts on PND, would it?

This is the link to the original article and has more information including the suit number (this can be verified):

shogsman:
She already did all that they're not replying bro , when they didn't reply she went to the bank and they didn't answer her

Sorry about that, man.
Cursory internet search shows they don't have a dedicated email address for fraud complaints so they must be swamped with other requests.
You can send a reminder mail and copy CBN (cpd@cbn.gov.ng), that should prod them to act.

Good luck

I don't understand. What do you mean by "pursued her away"? Did they send her out of the banking hall?

There are other official channels to lay complaints, like email.

Partnerbiz:
Thanks.
Which VPN can I use to access it please.

It seems they have best deals in the USA?

What do you think?

There's a thread here:

Offerup

Hatrick01:
i am not sure if they can be bribed especially the EFCC.
Cant u see rich men/boys they expose on daily bases?

You don't see the ones they don't expose.
It's possible those people were "exposed" because they didn't want to pay.
I honestly do not trust any Nigerian agency to be impartial

Do you believe other government agencies are incorruptible?
Can the NDLEA or EFCC not be bribed?

Excellent article.
Like many Nigerians I was actually hoping for something better with BVAS, seeing as a reported ₦117bn was budgeted for it.
I thought it would be something sophisticated with biometric voting with real-time results available for all to see but alas I was wrong.

I wonder when we will get it right in Nigeria.

salesbloo:
You see why APC Governors are right



Emefiele is a clown

I can deposit[b] 500K in 5 different bank accounts[/b] making 2.5m meaning old notes is still a legal tender .....since the deadline specified is April 10 . Alternatively if you have individual and corporate accounts ....500k in each account


Redesign Policy is completely defeated.

No, it doesn't work like that.
1. It's limited by BVN
2. Only self-deposits are allowed; third party deposits are not - this applies to corporate accounts. This means your friend cannot deposit old notes in your account.

So the only way you can bypass this is to somehow have different BVNs for your different accounts.

Wonders shall never end.
Even people managing 40GB are complaining that Starlink is "useless" because it's not unlimited.

dexteer555:
Wrong analysis... 18Mbps not 18MBps... FiberOne or IPNX will not give you MBps..

Yes you're right
That was a typo.
My point still stands.

Like the poster in the screenshot said, where is the money?
No one should blame commercial banks because like we have clearly seen they weren't given enough cash.

gare:
if the banks do not have money to give to its customers they should not think of opening for business

Because it's only cash withdrawals that banks do?

Scam.

Why did the mods move this obviously scam post to the front page? 😒

persius555:
Wait till everyone joins the wagon and all that early excitement starts to fade away. Satellite datalinks are not optimisted for heavy traffic.

Space X will need to put more satellites in orbit in order to accommodate more customers and maintain user experience. This is where satellite business model flops

Well they do plan (and have gotten approval) to double the number of satellites in the coming years. Time would tell if the planned increases along the line (more than 42,000 satellites) would suffice.
Admittedly they do state that their target market is not everyone, just those in rural areas.

Do I have to be home all day to enjoy it?

Yes it is.
You should only get it if it fits your usage profile eg for remote work, for business, or just for home usage.
