Lol @ 30 million naira when Camry at the dealership is over 20m. To get this thing to naija legally won't be anything short of 45m (or even more) and then u might not even benefit from aftersales service and warranty or recall. But from the dealership this won't be anything less than 55m upwards

Hello guys.. It’s not about the egusi, it about the nature of the egusi whether its grounded and in a powdery form or it’s normal form. Already grounded egusi falls into the category of powdery substances which are usually not allowed in an hand luggage however if it’s still in it’s normal form, there’s no reason why it can’t go in the hand luggage. Even in the powdery form, it can still be carried in the checked in luggage. This applies to other food items that could take different forms e.g ogbono, crayfish. The best you can do is put all your food items in your checked in luggage to avoid stories that touch. Looking at the scenario here, that’s the secondary screening at the boarding gate where the airline conducts its own check so there’s a chance that the egusi is in powdery form. If you like give quarantine people all your money and you put your food items in your hand luggage, you are on your own.
Ps.. Qatar airways does not tolerate any form of food item in its cabin..

I dunno how she's supposed to function effectively knowing her sons' life is hanging in the balance.. You can as well tell a nursing mother to resume work immediately after childbirth afterall she can always get people to care for the child while she's at work.. perhaps there's no need for maternity leave

Use this for temporary solution while you look to resolve your issues. It's difficult to get around here but you can get it on amazon

A thread on why PREPAID METER being distributed TO ALL may never be achieved in Nigeria.
After the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Electricity distribution companies are next on the list when it comes to corruption. This has been in existence from time immemorial, just like barracks, many government have come and gone but the deep rooted corruption in the system remains
In April 2016, I moved in to my current apartment. The apartment was still connected to an old meter and there was an outstanding payment of about N385,000.00 to be paid.

This wasn't revealed to me before I made payment for the rent, as usual (that's how they all do)
This became a worry and an absolute headache.

I asked the landlord why it was so and she made me understand that the apartment was not in use for 5years.

I asked how come it wasn't reported to NEPA so they'd stop the billing, she gave me a copy of the letter she wrote to them
So I took the matter up, wrote several mails to Eko electricity company and the matter was on for 11months, note that in the space of this 11 months, I never got a monthly bill lesser than 24,000.00

You want to ask if I have a factory in my apartment? No I don't.
So it extended from wanting the company to zerorize the ridiculous outstanding balance in the billing account to fighting and contesting the outrageous billing system which do not in any way represent my true electricity consumption and wanting a Prepaid Meter

The battle began.
After several exchange of mails betweens myself and Eko Electric and no solution was forthcoming, I moved the matter to NERC, the regulatory body for all electricity distribution companies in Nigeria.

I filed a petition against Ekedp and the undertaking in charge of my area.
Lo and behold, after three days from the petition submission to NERC, I got a call from the marketing manager for my area pleading for me to make myself available to allow them come to my house and take inventory of the electrical appliances I use.

NERC is working yeah? Right.
A staff of the Ekedp came to take the inventory and at the end of the computations, we calculated and multiplied each appliance by the estimated units they consume per day and multiplied by 31days.

Recall I said I never got a bill less than 24k in a month?
Then we arrived at a figure that even the Eko electric staff who came to take the inventory opened his mouth and couldn't close it.

What I should be billed based on having 24hour light per day(which is not even possible) in 31 days was 4,800.00

I almost ran mad.
I took a copy of the report, scanned it and attached it to my next petition to NERC.

At this point, the marketing manager attached to my undertaking had started calling and begging me to stop the petitions.

That they could all get sacked if matters gets escalated further.
Then in September 2017, after all the troubles and how I never got tired if pursuing the issue, I got a mail from Eko electricity to come with some required documents in order to fill a form for a PREPAID METER.

I went there and did as they requested

At Last.
On 27 November 2017, I was on leave.
I was at my gate then this Alfa looking guy was parading and trying to see house number on the fence. My instinct told me to ask if he was asking for Ayo, then he said yes

He was the prepaid meter installer, he was with my new prepaid meter
I also recall that before the whole issue started, I was discouraged severally that I can never be given prepaid meter due to the outstanding balance on the billing account, I paid no mind to all the people that said that and went ahead with my case.
I got the Prepaid meter for FREE. After a week, bill was brought and boom, outstanding balance has been cleared from 385,000.00 to zero balance.

How did I achieve this?
I mean I didn't pay a dime to anyone and I never for once bribed my way in all my dealings.
I achieved this simply because;

1. I knew my right.
2. I wouldn't settle for mediocrity
3. I never stopped pushing even after several months and it seemed unachievable
4. I was ready to take the matter up anywhere
5. I was informed.
Now imagine how many people are out there who don't even know how to go about such tedious and draining process.

I learnt that a lot of people even paid as much as 40k to get the prepaid meter. Something that's supposed to be free.
Since the prepaid meter was installed in November 27 2017, I have not exhausted the 303 units that came with it which is calculated to be 7,200.00

And I still have 140units left to use.

That's over four (4) months now
Do you now see why these people will never allow dream of every homes having a prepaid meter become a reality?

Because such development will block all holes where the electricity distribution corrupt members of staff perpetrate their fraudulent activities and corruption from.
They know that they will be forced to give light more in order to generate revenue and will not be able to charge people outrageously as they are currently doing and remitting the proceeds of their criminal act to their pockets.

Stand up and Fight for what is your right.
Prepaid meter is your right, fight for it to the latter.

If you believe that your monthly electricity bill do not represent your consumption, make a case.

If you're in Lagos, Ikeja Electricity company and Eko electricity company are there for you.

If they fail, involve NERC.
That will be all, for now.

I moved into 3 bedrooms apartment July last year, luckily for me the last occupant closed his bill before leaving so I started on a fresh note. They started with about 10k but kept increasing as the months rolled by. It became an average of 15k. Last month I got 19k, then gengen June bill 35k, I wan run mad

Mr Man.. it's very sad that at your age, you do not have a mind of your own.. your issue with the babe is not about her age, it's about the gist you've been getting about her failed 8 years relationship with the other dude and how badly he must have bombed her pekus, you probably have heard that she had several abortions for him.. You were convinced earlier in the relationship that she was Gods choice for you, it's still the same you that your mother pressured into engaging her, she also holds a position in your church excos and you feel obliged to carry on with the engagement. Your uncle is also telling you otherwise, my point is you really don't know what you want. That your age difference excuse is not valid at all, a lady 10 years younger than you today can look older than you tomorrow, it depends on how she takes care of herself or better still how much you take care of her. You also tend to fancy physical attribute which l has the tendency to fade away. I don't think you are ready so it's better you end it now rather than endure a marriage filled with pain and regrets. There are lots of couples out there with very little age difference and they have happy homes. Still enjoy life for a bit as a proper bachelor... carry olosho, get one night stands. When you are ready, nobody go tell you

Still nigga..

Abeg! Make u na help me with beta advise o

I'm this kind of person that likes to be the one to pay for every drink or for all the plates when I go out with friends. I don't do it because I seek glory, but I simply feel the nudge, like I'm supposed to pay for this, plus I don't like taking advantage of people or someone taking care of my stuff.

This applies to friends asking me to borrow them money too. I simply cannot say no to them. And this have caused me some very important relationships (I suppose), as immediately I start asking for what they borrowed, They begin to see me as the enemy.

Please how do you say NO to lending money to someone without feeling bad?

I understand your plight. I used to be like you if not worse sef. I was even giving out personal belongings such as clothes and electronics, guess I was just naive. People will take advantage of your good nature but the truth is you know those leeching on you, the best you can do is avoid them overtime they will move on to the next cheerful giver. As regards loaning people money, I tell them I don't have the amount they want but take this amount for dash. Lastly, you don't want to go broke satisfying others, believe me these same people will flee at the sight of your broke ass..

Mr man, this your epistle is incomplete, you didn't mention anything about snakes.. You know lala and snakes are inseparable

Hello guys.. I use a windows version of HTC m8, my front facing camera does not work with imo, I dunno if anyone can help resolve this. I also have not gotten update on my phone for a long time now, anytime I check for update, it's always saying my phone is up to date.

Most of these folks don't know jack about windows phone, been using windows phone since Lumia 520. It was really disappointing in the beginning but the os has been gradually picking up with every update. I use a windows version of HTC m8 running on windows 10 and believe me, everyone that gets a go at it are always impressed. I guess folks are just too used to android to give windows a try. The downside of windows phone for me is they don't get new apps and updates as early as other platforms. Who says instagram and twitter are shitty on windows phone, it's possible you are still on windows 7 or 8 shii

Earlier this year, a friend of mine used the stanbic Ibtc ATM in front of value mart, kilo bus stop at surulere, we met people standing and waiting, he got 5k in 500 naira denominations instead of 10k. People that used the atm earlier had experienced the same thing, getting half of what they tried to withdraw. What I believed must have happened was that 500 was loaded instead of 1000. My guy still never get him cash back till date

sometimes I seem to think some people see an ATM machine as a personal computer or an arcade game.. dey will keep pressing buttons for eternity without one shishi coming out.. I go just weak

Once sat beside this geh back then in Unilag from Jibowu to Maryland, this girl cough all the way without even covering her mouth.. No so I just dey cease my breath make man no catch only God know the kain cough wey been dey worry am.. Park well abeg

This is not new. We had to fill these forms back then after the school was shut down in 2004 under similar circumstances. We even paid 10k sef. After we resumed and student union was banned, we experienced a lot of ill treatment from the school in general mostly from the school security beating students at will. Truth is, one of the ways of checking the excesses of the authorities is by having a union and the students too should employ better ways of resolving issues with the authorities cos at the end of the day, they are always on the receiving end. Even after the school was closed for about three months coupled with several federal strikes, I still ended up spending exactly four years in that school.

Why are they celebrating the death of Alh.Gay?

All those boys forming hard man and cult boys were rounded up and fvcked in the a.nus by Alhaji which tells you that upon all the gragra, the so-called hard men were pvssy-@ss motherf&$!@r$. Else how can one person effectively terrorize so many for so long?

Losers forming hard men. Even mummy boys follow they form cult boys. LOL. Alhaji until his death in a land grab wahala proved that all of you are pvssies.

Even with all his boys and policemen around, one bad a.ss walked up to him, broke a bottle and stabbed Alhaji. Now that's one heck of a tough guy and not these fake hard men crying at the sight of policemen.

May God bless his soul once again for proving to the whole world that the so-called hard men are chickens.

I need anyone in the house who can help me out with a good Volvo mechanic. I am done with my old mechanic before he sends me packing to my fathers village. Anyone with the same car can also please share their experiences with the car cos I'm considering putting it up for sale after repairs

I really do not understand why there should be a deadline for bvn registration. A lot of Nigerians run their accounts from different countries all over the world and don't come around often. Are they supposed to jump on the next plane over bvn or won't people open new accounts after the deadline. Nigerian authorities should get creative in encouraging people to accept new policies not bullying them with heavy restrictions on their account and some useless deadline

Bros go and chill abeg
