Phones / Re: MTN, Glo, Airtel Set To Increase Data, Call Tariffs by shevon: 10:57am On May 23, 2018
DSS1335:

How significant is 0.005%
Lets assume that the annual turn over balance of most operators as domiciled with bank is about N15,000,000,000.
0.005% which is 0.00005 x N15b, is it something that those stingy operators won't be able to pay, that they want their subscribers to bear the brunt?
Abi o, 0.005% of 15billion is just 750k, and that is why they are complaining of multiple taxation and cost transfer to customers? The annoying thing is that the increase in call/data rate is neve commensurate to the charges being levied on them: We might end up pay nothing less than 1% more because government is imposing about 0.005% levy on them.
Besides, this, what has cost of call got to do with electronic transactions that is data based?

"I think it depends on so many factors and usually something that should be discussed before whoever takes on which role. If you marry later, I expect savings to be in place. If a partner agrees to stay home wether they receive additional money for 'personal savings' depends on the earning power of the partner. If partner is wealthy and you don't choose to have a joint, then sharing funds is in separate accounts is a sign of respect and the fact that you're giving your partner the same financial freedoms you have. Also if the family is wealthy, stay at home has more support and in this day and age working from home actually can be inspiring, when you have help, you are freed up to be creative with your time .Also if stay at home feels trapped, is that a marriage they wish to be in, in the first place. If you really want savings from a stingy partner that has in excess and partner doesn't share, start inflating your budgets and keeping the excess as savings! Lol, it's both your money. If the case is that one must stay home as family are unable to afford help, nanny, cook, etc i think after rent, power, food, fees has been handled there is hardly anything left for either to have extra to save but rather all extra should be saved for the benefit of family in long run. So many factors to consider really and so many diff examples but it's all choice at the end of the day."


What do you think?



Of all of them, Eku Edewor is the only person that is thinking rationally. I am not in support for any woman not to be empowered, either by way of getting a paid employment or having a business of her own, either started by herself of the husband: every woman deserves to be independent.
But in a situation where she finds herself as a stay at home wife/mother and the husband does does not even have enough to save after handling all the house expenses (including taking care of the wife's needs) where is he supposed to get the money to pay the wife salary? If the man can comfortably afford to take of the home and also have a side chick (like some men do angry ) and does not think he should pay his wife salary, then he deserves any name he is called within the context of this discuss.
I understand some men have trust issues, like Sai B (if you are thinking Bubu, na you sabi) and would force their wives to stay at home instead of being ogled by other men, then you should have a plan to give her what she would have been earning if she was forced out of a business or job.
So many factors are supposed to be considered when discussing this type of topic, it is not fair to just generally say stay at home mothers or wives should be paid salaries (not that I am against it if the partner can afford it)

Business / Re: CBN To Order Banks To Repay Illegal Charges With Interest by shevon: 3:11am On May 09, 2018
allanphash7:
Access bank in Trouble
Those ones are just robbers. Sometime last month, I went to fix my phone and forgot my GTB card at home, so I transferred money from my GTB to Access Bank account on the 10th. I also tried to buy N100 airtime to make a quick call that day and it failed, complained about it and the debit was reversed on the 13th.
Could you believe Access Bank charged me N50 for stamp duty for the transaction that occurred on the 13th? When I called, email and called them out on Tweeter to complain that I was charged for getting a refund for a failed transaction, their thieving service reps said it was not for the transaction stated in the narration but for the inflow into my account on the 10th. The simple question I asked was: Are you sure you know the CBN rule concerning stamp duties? They all said they do; I had to go and pull CBN circular showing transactions that were exempted (intra or inter bank self to self transfer, deposits less than N1,000.00 and payments into a savings account). Even the eleribu that I spoke to on the phone was still arguing and asking me if I were a banker. Do I need to be a banker to know my rights?
Last last, I had to start mentioning CBN in my tweets before they reversed the stamp duty. They assumed they were dealing with a Nigerian that will swallow anything they threw at; dem for surprise wetin I for do if dem no reverse my N50 7 days after I reported it. Awon ole jati-jati.
Politics / Re: Lawmakers Vote Against Giving Fathers Paternity Leave by shevon: 12:34pm On May 04, 2018
In a society that is working, this shouldn't be an issue.
I remember when my boy came, I was in Romania and I was asked how I was going to use my Paternity and Parental leave. I told them we had nothing of such for men in Nigeria, they were surprised because in Romania, aside the 15 working days the father of a child has to stay at home after birth, he still can alternate with his wife if they choose to take Parental leave of 24 months. Under their law, within that 2 years, whoever chooses to take the parental leave will receive 85% from the mean of their net income within 12 months prior,but the amount cannot be less than RON1,063.00 (which is about N98,000.00). So, if the man likes, he can take 2 months off while his wife works and when he returns to work, the wife will continue to stay at home. The amount stated above is subject to some conditions which is no big deal if you ask me and they also have some other benefits too.
I sha don tire for this our Labor law, honestly, it doesn't favour the works in any way, especially when you consider what expatriates enjoy when they work in this country for the same company you work with.

Even when she kind of derailed a gist to the talk of that day and how she regrets not taking that opportunity to be with me (despite both of us being married now to different people) I responded in kind.... with silence.

Na wa. Garage, Motor parks, Bus stops, Bus terminal,etc., they are all getting transformed in Lagos.

I sincerely wish that the Lagos state government extends this their "transformation agenda" to the supply of pipe-borne water to the residents of Lagos state, that is if it wants to be taken seriously as a true Mega-City.


Good one all the same.
Above bolded is so on point, what in the face of the fact that the government wants to start taxing people that have personal water sources in their compound.

A postmortem should be carried out to exonerate him, or implicate him.


If the postmortem shows the woman died of a natural cause, the Nigerian police would still want to charge him for causing the woman to die of a natural cause.


Henceforth, medical history inquiry will become the pre-intimacy, so as not to do the time for what one is innocent of.
Believe me, if you tell Nigerian Police this, they will arrest you for obstruction of Police work. Case whey dem don close and whey one person don dey use eye promotion na im you say make dem do further investigation?
They can work when they want to, trust me, we have loads of experts within the Nigerian Police force; but when that spirit of laziness overwhelm them, their is nothing an innocent man can do to get himself off the hook of Nigerian Police.

Sometime last year I paid for a program in Canada and I was denied visa the ppl over there refunded part of my money try PayPal and PayPal notified me , that means the money landed in my PayPal account but unwithdrawable . Do you get? I had to send to the guys to withdraw and send try western union.

My point now is since its possible to send and not receive and I was notified that so so and so person sent you money by PayPal and amount stated, Can't I forward the money to someone since I can send and receive back try western union.

Hope you got me right
I've received refunds on PayPal (the period we could add our cards o) and it was paid back to my account. I guess yours was because they made it look like a payment. But my issue with them now is that we cannot even add our cards anymore, it keeps asking to check our card details, even when it is correct.

PayPal is a no no... since last year they have stopped accepting linking of Nigerian MasterCard,after sending them my heartfelt message,one of their officials called me and I was told that Nigerian financial institution is responsible for that....since then I had to stick with payoneer, however PayPal exchange rate is more enjoyable compared to payoneer with heavy charges after every withdrawal from the ATM machine.. .Nothing is going to work in this country...
You are absolutely right. They told me the same thing and when I called my Bank, I was told there was nothing stopping my card from being used on PayPal from their own end. I still keep trying to add my card though and I keep getting same card detail error. It used to work but suddenly started giving error, I was asked to delete and re-add the card, it's been since then that the yeye thing won't allow me add my card. It's so pathetic.

You don't know Romanians then. I've lived there for a while and I can tell you for a fact that they adore blacks. Like when I was staying in Campina, my friend and I were the only blacks in the whole town and they gave of VIP treatment everywhere we go. I travelled a lot while I was there: Sinaia, Bran, Brasov, Snagov...; everywhere we went was the same. The only place you'd go to and see more black people is Bucharest. Even a guy we met that invited us to his house had people troop in to see "black" people is his house, he was so proud. His wife even told us if she had met a black person, she would not have thought of marrying a Romanian. So, I doubt her familie is not happy she's marrying a black person.
