We shouldn't be listening to the airline operator. They can never come up and say it is their fault.

It is the regulator that should be speaking on this issue and we take it as nearly true.

NCAA must come up with a release to make this thing official.

I just installed a new update that showed up this morning on my phantom 8. Since then my phone has been sluggish as hell. This is a 6GB RAM phone.

All my tweets to @TECNOMobileNG has gone unanswered so far.

How can these guys mess up this sweet phone like this?

Oya start pounding the egg.

NCP:
Make I add Mine.


21. Fantom 8 will never get developers support. I don't mean the Tecno paid devs support.



22. Fantom 8 will never see Android OS upgrade. (Na pure Yun Operating System be This Product Like Other Previous Phantom Flagships)

How can you be lying to yourself so shamelessly? Even Phantom 6 plus gotten updated from 6 to 7. My younger bro uses it so I'm not guessing.

What's the need and benefit of registering residents?
Why do we spend resources on leas than important things when we have more pressing stuff. What of a crime database? That's more important. We ready have BVN, National ID, Voter's card, Driver's License, international passport.

This was tweeted by @AsoRock aka Govt of Nigeria: a verified Twitter account.

How did we get here my people?
Screening 2.5milliom people is now an achievement.
PS: Note that 200k is the quoted number eventually taken on. Let's presume that is a truth, from this lie-entous (Can't find a better way of magnifying their lying capacity so I had to make up one) government, that is 8%.

The remaining 92% nko? Well, we don't all get lucky.
Oh, maybe the numbers have been adjusted from 97 vs 5% to 92 v 8%

Una wehdone.

lols.. My one naira never enter any scammer hand. I ain't greedy, unteachable. I am a good listener and cautious. Wetin be I too know. You be fo0l guy

Congratulations.

Next2Bezee:
Would you just chill.

I'm pretty sure the OP knew it was illegal before he paid, but securing shortcuts and special treatment has become the norm in this country.

I think the OP is just trying to ruin the scammer's game now that he has been scammed, a bit funny i agree. But this could also deter others not to fall prey to such scams in an attempt to get a job.

Bros abeg no mind the guy. Some people are too wise for their own good.

majekdom2:
Na today wey dem dey scam. You just said the guy knew it was illegal but he still went ahead. The OP lacks judgemental skills, he comes attacking every post he isn't ok with or that tries to scold him. The scammer's full everywhere, no be OP go expose them. Just like MMM, after the crash, people are still investing in ponzi schemes. They call it risk, I call it stupidity!. The OP never wan learn. If another scam is presented in in sweet way, the guy go fall.

You obviously don't know when to give up.
Watch your back. Na guys like you dey enter the worst:the I-too-knows.
SMH.

caesaraba:
It is illegal to pay a bribe to get a jo b. Which is why, rather than take your grievances to the legal authorities, you are here on Nairaland pouring out your frustration. I understand your predicament. Taking it out on others isn't the way forward. People have been paying for jobs for a long time and getting them. You got scammed, you, my friend, are the one who needs a lesson on how to get it right next time. (If that's the path you wanna tow). What were you expecting when your created this thread? A pity- party? Or an army standing ready to fight your scammer for you?

The highlighted statements there is a result of somebody trying too hard to be correct. If the second statement (in bold) of yours is correct then what issue do you have with how I chose to execute my options? You must not talk or type at all costs.

Take your pity and shove it up where the sun don't shine. It's not needed. Some people learn and teach others and some like you fail to learn and keep being 'smart' and 'correct'. Your cup of tea.

CrtlAltDel:
You must be new to nairaland… type BIAFRAUUD without repeating u twice, come back and tell us what you see

What has being new on Nairaland have to do with it really? President Buhari's Biafra.

profolaolu:
Why wailing over someone greater than you, y mourning over something U can't change, frustration and delusion is ur ruin, just let him

A pity you can't take a joke for what it is. Pity yourself. I guess you are among the worshippers of the President Buhari. Guess what I wrote that brought that name.

The joke is on you!

Firefire:
dullardin-ho


False...

Bros do like you can read English properly na. It says

sleemfesh:
Guys, just comment "dullardin-ho" without the quotes and hyphen and see what happens when you submit the post.


Greetings President Buhari.

Firefire:
Na lie...

Try it bro. Ah ah.

Guys, just comment "dullardin-ho" without the quotes and hyphen and see what happens when you submit the post.


Greetings President Buhari.

Phinity318:
U seem smart, yet u were scammed and now u want a refund of 25k. Just move on

Seem smart? And here I was thinking you are the only smart guy on Nairaland. I guess the purported 15m guys that put one President Buhari in place now were dunce abi?

caesaraba:
You call someone who believes that a 25k advance fee would land him a 125k per month Fed Govt job smart?
Desperate is the right word.

It is not your desperate oga. Mind your own smartness.
If someone makes an offer and I match it it behoves on them to deliver their part of the bargain provided it is not illegal. That's why 419 is a criminal offense not only in Nigeria but the world over. But I guess your smartness is too much to comprehend that. Pick the lesson and move ahead.

Phinity318:
Op I don't know u but if I'm to profile u, I will say u r in ur mid 30's and a very desperate person too.
First meet ur medical scientists guy and relay all that has happened. Tell him, u want to involve the police. In fact he will be one the police will come and pick If he doesn't provide the person he connected u with. Stay away from pipo that ask u to bring money before been given a fed or state job, 89% of the time turned out to be scammed. Shalom

Thanks Mr Profiler.
You don't know me like you said.
89%? Way to contradict yourself. I'm sure you didn't read the rest of the comments leading to where you came in or you won't repeat the scientist's part.

majekdom2:
you are being silly!

Is it your silly?
See this one o.
Hian.

majekdom2:
No one will blame the scammer, no one will help you in tracking the scammer either. It is you they will blame. It is no news and we know how many times co-operations and even government have warned about advanced fee fraud. Who gives an offer without an interview? You are just a lazy being.. you think that is how connect works. Equip yourself with the right info and stop crying over your folly.

Beautiful.
I'm sure you are sounding super smart to yourself to make three comments in a row. Mr Smart please allow lazy people o. The Panadol you dey take on top another pesin issue go finish you abeg. Take am easy. I have nothing to prove to you. But I had information to share.
Any other thoughts solomon?

toprealman:
Bank can do very little to help! You will be told get a police report and given your storyline, could be cut in the web

I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks.

toprealman:
Called the number,the waste pipe immediately swore he going to kill his family not me. His voice alone is a giveaway. Forget the money, the hungry twit cant pay back. Give him good publicity. I can work with you here

Correct analysis there. I am already spreading the info as wide as I can. These guys can't keep getting away with things like this. Imagine having a bank account to work with with all the BVN applicable. I am working the bank angle to see if someone gets picked up. Lemme know what more info you need that I can provide. I will gladly do so.

DanseMacabre:
By the bolded, I'm guessing you mean money.


I get now.He's indeed not culpable Goodluck with your quest.

Auto correction go kill somebody one day o. Na 'money' suppose dey there. Corrected. Many thanks.

FromZeroToHero:
Nawa oh. and you were busy answering "OK Sir" to a scammer.

LOL. Sir only a courtesy. At least before people prove themselves scammers.

airex:
SMH

Don't mind the guy abeg. Seeking attention. We don see him. Meanwhile he is advertising a job in 2 months in his signature. Na dem dem. If I took the bait I'm trying to ensure others don't and that the magas get apprehended if possible. The former is more of my aim here.
Cheers.

DanseMacabre:
N25,500? That's more like a donation to charity na. Except if you mistakenly omitted an extra or more zeroes.


*Modified* You said the person in question is an in-law. Have you tried hashing out the issue familially, before escalating it to this level?

I don't have any issue with my in law. Not just cos he's my inlaw, he's my guy any day. He was trying to help a brother and he is devastated too. Not just for the money but because he was the person that 'brought the link.'

BiafranBushBoy:
Good for you. Thats all I have to say!

Many thanks for saying. And congratulations. Enjoy your life.

So I fell for it. Yea. I can't say I didn't smell it earlier but circumstances didn't allow me respond more appropriately. Lessons learnt.

Long story short, an in-law who is a medical scientist wanted to help as he heard I had quit my regular job. He'd been approached by an intern colleague of his who said a man had connection for a fed job. He got to me, I spoke with the man and ended up paying 25,500NGN for the supposed job. He said I will be earning 125k a month and will pay a part to the arrangers of the job for six months.

A couple days later he said he has finished only that I was posted to Borno state and that he is not happy that the place is war torn due to Boko Haram. Right there and then I knew I had entered one chance things. I decided to play along. He said the people are also asking for extra 100k to move me to a better state. I told him there was no such money on me and I'm not able to get it lent to me. I asked to get the job and I will pay it back from my salary. He said that was not applicable. After so much talk, I told him to have me posted anywhere it is that I don't mind.

He would later stop picking my calls so I decided to goad him by saying I wanted to see if I can still pay for the reposting. He replied saying that he cannot send someone where is not good that if I cannot source the money he will refund me. I replied shaperly saying he should please refund me.

This is almost three weeks and no show.

I promised him I'm taking the case to the social media if he doesn't pay me back my money today. Following will be details of the man and his associate so that folks will beware of them.

Phone number 08067328963
Name according to TruCaller is "Mr Mike"
Account no he said to pay to goes thus:
Account name: IKE BLESSING IFEOMA.
A/C No = 3573064843.
Bank Name: ECO BANK PLC.


PS: Anybody with information on how to take these guys up should drop a comment. I have also attached screenshots and a record of one of our calls. I have other call records with me too.

This is a link to the voice recording of our call and him requesting the money which I uploaded at Vocaroo.

Story for the gods.
Believe this and you might as well believe that Angela Merkel is the President of Western Germany.

And by the way, even if it were to still be with the printer and to be submitted tomorrow, the content has remained the same. Save us the bs.

Listen To Kalu Aja.
Something is wrong somewhere. This is the second time I'm seeing this post about debt servicing. What is really going on? Some have called it Quantitative Easing on Steroid. I'm not sure what the first means for sure (Google I'm coming later) but I know anything on steroid is not good.

"From January to June 2017, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) earned and retained N1,004b but spent N927.74b alone on domestic and international debt service. In the same period, the FGN did not spend a kobo on Capital projects in Nigeria. In summary, the FGN spent 92% of its income on debt service and 0% on CAPEX

If I was to be polite, I will say this is not the way to run the largest economy in Africa, if I was to be realistic, I will call this economic treason. Let us follow the money for the six months of 2017, lets compare FGN 2017 budget assumptions to actual.



Universal Basic Education has received 32% of her half year budget,National Judicial Commission has received 21% of her half year budget,Salaries? Salaries paid are just 19% of half year budget.



Like you, I am surprised, the FGN has paid only 19% of budgeted workers salaries in 2017. The balance 81% represents families without salaries in a weak economic recovery, how does the FGN intend to reflate the economy when it is not meeting its budget on salaries? However, one line item does strike me as odd, the FGN has not made any financial commitment to its Special Intervention Funds in 2017. To be clear the FGN according to her own figures has not spent a kobo on projects such as “A Meal A Day” or NGAP or N5000 Conditional Cash Transfer.

There are only two conclusions,

The schemes do not existThe FGN own budget figures are false

So where is the money going to? Debt, to be specific local debt. The FGN has achieved 117% of its half budget on debt. Yes, not a typo, the FGN is not borrowing to pay salaries, the FGN is borrowing to pay debt. How does a progressive government put debt repayment over building schools?

In the 2015 budget, President Buhari said, “oil-related revenues are expected to contribute N820 billion while non-oil revenue, will contribute N1.45 trillion.” The 2016 Budget was informally dubbed the first budget not funded by crude oil. President Buhari further said the budget will be funded by

enforcing strict compliance with the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007public expenditure reforms in all MDAsrecoveries of looted public fundssavings from recently established Efficiency Units in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs ) by the new Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.

None of these has happened, I am yet to see a kobo of recovered funds in any Federal Budget, where are these funds that EFCC has announced are recovered? where are they held?….but I digress



President Buhari has replaced crude oil as a source of funds with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

According to the CBN statistical database, the CBN claims on the FGN, which means how much the CBN has borrowed to the FGN was N513b in May 2013, that figure is now N5,634b a more than 1,000% rise.



Who has authorized the CBN to lend N5t plus to the Federal Government of Nigeria?

The CBN Act of 2007 is clear in section 38(2) says “The total amount of such advances outstanding shall not at any time exceed five per cent of the previous year’s actual revenue of the Federal Government.”

The total revenues of the FGN for 2016 were put at N2,947.49, this means the FGN can only get N147b from the CBN in 2017, but the CBN have given out almost N6t, on whose authority? If the FGN spends 92% of her half year income on debt service, does Nigeria have an economy? is the naira value real? The GDP growth posted is it funded by the CBN as well? I have edited this post over and over, to make it less financial so its importance can be understood. Nigeria today is surviving not on exports of oil or yams, not on taxes or anticorruption funds but from cash printed and borrowed to the FGN by the CBN, which is illegal.

I consider myself a pragmatic man, if the CBN printed N100t and the funds was used to pay for bridges and hospitals, this would be a different post. If these funds were borrowed to pay salaries, maybe there could be an argument that salaries are “simulative”. The CBN may be independent, but it is not sovereign.

I want to close by challenging your imagination, think about how your life would be better today if the CBN invested this N5t i.e. $14b in Agriculture, Power or Railways.

We are better than this."

Airpeace and Airport rats: My Owerri to Lagos bound flight.
To whom it may concern!
Dear airpeace, my padlocked checked in luggage was tampered with and valuable items removed from my it.

I checked in at owerri with a Lagos (4:40pm) bound flight on Wednesday which was later delayed till after 6pm. While picking my Luggage at the carousel in Lagos I found out the padlock on my luggage was missing and one out of the two pieces of luggage has been opened.

I could not report to your office as at the time we arrived after 7:30pm in Lagos because I needed to catch up with my next flight (KLM, a US bound) leaving at 9:40pm. However, I made sure three of your staff who loaded the luggage on the carousel from the aircraft were notified about the tampering incident before leaving for the international wing of the airport that same day.

Meanwhile, I was dissatisfied and disappointed with all the comments and exonerations I got from your staff that Wednesday evening while I was reporting to them about my tampered luggage, coupled with the two hours unapologetic delay i had in owerri which affected my arrival and check-in time at the KLM counter.

Consequently, by the time I got at the KLM counter I was told they've closed for the day and there was nothing they could do to help me check-in my luggage.

As I speak, I left Nigeria for the US without any luggage with me. I was able to come onboard the flight because I checked in online three days before departure, but they could not accept my luggage.

Since my arrival in the US yesterday, I've tried contacting some friends who are staff of the airpeace to report about my tampered luggage and missing items; till this moment I haven't heard from anyone.

I went further to reach out to the management of Airpiece with all the available lines on their website but none seemed to be productive; hence I decided to put this public appeal.

Please, help me to share till it gets to the management.
Anthony UD
