Please the WhatsApp link is not working.
Great idea guys, let's try and help each other.

I tracked my packages everyday to see the latest movement. Two orders I made in June have been on dispatched to overseas since July with no update till today.
I was called this morning by the post office and I have received the packages.
After receiving the packages, just out of curiousity, I tracked the items again but it is still showing dispatched to overseas.

Front glass of my redmi 6a is broken but it still works perfectly.
Please what do I need to change, the screen or digitizer, and what's the cost. Thanks.

I noticed webmoney is one of the payment options. As anyone used it before?
And is it available in Nigeria?

I need someone who will help refund seller 15dollars using PayPal and I pay him/her in Naira.

GTB have blocked online payment and I don't want to open another account. What other options do I have to make payment on AliExpress.

When can I open dispute?
Can I open anytime, or do I have to wait for BP to elapse?

My package is stuck on airline departure since 13th may.
The plane has not landed almost 2months after departure.

Hope he followed his own gazette restricting the number of people to 20.

I meant the energy lab.. how do you access it?

Open the app, go to coins and coupons, u will see energy lab beside flip and win.
But the summer sale remains only two days and some hours. I think many of the items in lab is gone because the number is limited and it goes fast.
But u can try ur luck.

lainwords098:
how do you play this?

I changed the shipping address to Ireland and the total amount I will pay for shipping is around #1000
I chatted with the seller and he said they are not shipping to Nigeria due to delays caused by covid 19.
If I can't get it shipped, I guess I will just have to forget about it.
Also thinking of chatting with AliExpress again to see if they can compensate me with a smaller coupon but that can be used on any product. Do u guys think it's possible?

ceaser:
They know what they are doing. I believe all na scam.

Why didn't they allow you to use the coupon with sellers that ship to Nigeria?

I won't be surprised if by the time you select the item and chose the option of paying with your card instead, then the "seller does not ship to your country" tab disappears.

Nevertheless, if you still wanna use the coupon on the item, you may use the facilities of some guys on NL that operate as Chinese dropshippers for items bought off of AE. But you may have to pay them processing and a token as shipping fees.

Please can you recommend any of the guys u mentioned so I can contact them. Thanks.

Good morning guys
Last week, I started playing the energy lab on the AliExpress summer sale (thanks Jboixxx for helping)
I was able to complete the tasks and won the item, Xiaomi airpod worth around 18dollars. I was given a coupon for the amount but only to be used for the item.
I tried getting the item only to discover that the seller is not shipping to Nigeria. I chatted with the seller and he refused to ship to Nigeria.
I chatted with AliExpress customer service and they said they cannot force the seller to ship to Nigeria.
Please help, is there any way round the issue

I received a message from AliExpress that my order is ready. But I have not received a call from the post office. What could be the problem.

[quote author=starprince71 post=89431011]Please we gat to let the fed govt to know our parcels is been hold its taking too long which kind thing be this let them just allow the civil servants Wrk for just a week to release out item then they can lock down for ever [/quote
But I saw a post here on nairaland that nipost has been classified as an essential service and all staff have been directed to resume work.]

Please what happens to our packages stuck in China. Will they be kept in a warehouse until the airports are open? My item is showing its at Beijing international airport since 22nd march.

Thanks. Guess I will check the post office again after the holidays
Your products has arrived, there is probably a mixup somewhere at the post office. They should check is very well

I have had such experience alot and after a month or two, they will call me that they have found my parcel[/quote]

Is the Presidency becoming desperate and jittery?
September 7, 2012 by Azuka Onwuka 27 Comments

Three responses from the Presidency in the last one month have painted a picture of irritation, fear and desperation. The first was the response to the demand of the Islamic fundamentalist group, Boko Haram, on President Goodluck Jonathan to convert to Islam or resign as a precondition for their cessation of a reign of terror. The second was the cantankerous article by the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, directed at the President’s social media critics. The third was the President’s comment at the 52nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association that he was the most criticised president in the world.

Starting from the first point, it is pertinent to ask: Did the Presidency need to respond to Boko Haram’s baseless demand for Jonathan to convert to Islam or resign? NO! By addressing the media on that issue, the Presidency created the impression that it did not have more serious and pressing issues to attend to.

That demand should have been completely ignored by the Presidency and all presidential aides and spokespersons. Even if Abati was asked by journalists to respond to that call, he should have replied that the President was too busy with important state matters to respond to such. The President should have left the matter to sympathetic groups and individuals to respond to. By responding to Boko Haram on the issue of conversion to Islam or resigning, Abati was simply according the faceless group authenticity and legitimacy and also telling the world that the Presidency was jittery and, even, petty. That was poor strategy.

If the Presidency responds to Jonathan’s arch-opponent in the April 2011 presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), or Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of Nigeria’s leading opposition party, the Action Congress of Nigeria, or the Arewa Consultative Forum or Ohanaeze Ndigbo, he would be seen to be responding to people or groups with identity and fixed addresses. The case of Boko Haram was worsened by their demand. If the group had accused Jonathan of marginalising Northerners or Muslims or embarking on a Niger Delta or Christian agenda against the North or Muslims, then such a comment should necessarily have elicited a robust rebuttal by the Presidency with concrete evidence.

But the height of desperation and pettiness was displayed in Abati’s article, in which he used condescending and disdainful words on the social media critics of the President. Abati went further to defend accusations that no serious publication, broadcast station or individual had ever made. The accusations that Abati denied included that the President was not a drunk or a glutton. Unbelievable!

From where did Abati hear these accusations? From people that had no traceable addresses, people who gather on the web the way friends gather in beer parlours and social events to drink and exchange the latest jokes and gossips. Yet, the President’s special adviser on media and publicity spent several hours on an essay, simply meant to deny petty jokes against his principal and then pass the article to the media houses to publish. It was surprising that Abati did not also respond to all the jokes passed around about the President’s wife, to prove that he was an effective defender of the Presidency.

What Abati did was to publicise and give authenticity to beer parlour jokes and rumours. He simply made those who had never heard such jokes and rumours to hear them. And such people would begin to assume that there could be a modicum of truth in the jokes and rumours, given that the President’s spokesman went to great lengths to refute them. It was like the case of a man who was called impotent by another man when only two of them were present in a room. The man decided to go to court to prove that he was not impotent. In trying to save his name, he brought the news to millions of other people who never knew that such a rumour existed. Rather than going to court, the man should have ignored the man or asked the accuser to put him to test in the accuser’s household! End of story!

As if that was not bad enough, a day later, at the 52nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, the President told the world that he was “the most criticised president in the world.” We never knew when the Guinness World Records conferred such an award on our President. That comment further confirmed that the President is very uncomfortable with the barrage of criticisms that he receives. It also confirmed that the President listens to all the gossips in the nation. His tone and words betrayed a president who is frustrated and irritated about the deluge of negative comments he receives.

The tragedy of this deficit of an effective communication strategy is that the Presidency has become reactive rather than proactive. Every time Jonathan or any of his spokesmen addresses the public now, rather than telling the nation the programmes and achievements of the President, they end up reacting to accusations upon accusations against the presidency. And the headlines of the media are usually taken from those reactive comments – which are usually open to many interpretations – while whatever programmes itemised are usually lost in the controversy generated by such hare-brained responses.

To say that the President’s communication strategy is middling is being euphemistic and charitable. It is known that the President does not have the gift of the garb. That deficit could have been compensated for by the quality of his communication team. But it is not clear if the problem is that Jonathan’s communication advisers are not advising him well, or that the President does not listen to advice, or that he is the one who decides what is to be communicated and how it should be communicated and simply directs his communication aides to execute such.

Whatever the problem is, the President’s middling communication has cost him much of the goodwill that saw him winning a presidential election in 2011 despite all the odds against him. Deep down the hearts of many Nigerians, they pray that President Goodluck Jonathan should succeed. The good news is that despite what the President has lost, he can still regain lost ground in a matter of months if he adjusts his communication strategy and makes it more proactive and inspiring than reactive and antagonistic or bitter.

SSS detains Jonathan’s campaign officer Wale Ajani

The Nigerian State Security Service on Wednesday detained a youth organiser who was a fervent supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan during the last presidential election.

Wale Ajani, the Head of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, was arrested after he granted a press interview claiming that the government’s proposed plan to cut fuel subsidies was “evil.” He remains detained by the SSS after he honoured an invitation by the agency to discuss his involvement in a planned hunger strike by youth groups slated for November 11 2011, AFP reports.

Ajani was asked to report to the service police in the capital Abuja on Wednesday.

He was said to have shown up as planned at 11.30 am and still had not been released as of 7.00pm, said Olayemi Success, a programme officer with the organisation.

“We sent our lawyer there,” he said. “They told our lawyer that they are investigating him, that they have a report on him that the opposition is using him against the government.”

Success said, “Their calculation is if they arrest him, the Nigerian youth will back out from the protest, but they are very wrong.”

Ajani’s group had been planning a one-day protest and hunger strike for Friday over government plans to remove the subsidy.

The subsidy is designed in part to hold pump prices at N65 per litre.

Effort of the AFP to get a reaction from the SSS on Wednesday failed.


Seems he has changed his mind, me thinks he deserves what he gets.
