symbianDON:
honestly I don't think your bank can stop the deductions since the transaction isn't initiated by them but by Netflix. have tried to contract Netflix about this issue?

I have sent series of email, no response.

I subscribed to Netflix and later deactivated the account but I am still seeing periodic deduction from my banks head office quoting Netflix in the narratives.
I have contacted my Bank, GTB and there not been a single response regarding this. It does not take me anything to close the account but this is almost the 4th month that money have been leaving the account in the name of Netflix.
The worst part is that my wife suffers same thing.
What offence have we committed against these people?
I made a hotel reservation in the Central London and later called them for cancelation when I saw the surge on Corona. Gentlemen and ladies, the charge for half of my expected period of stay was deducted from my account. When I contacted them again they said there are mere agents, that property owner did not agree to write off necessary charges. I cried and consoled myself.
I brought in this extra incident to narrate how we are suffering in the hands of these oyibo people, and when they come here we treat them like a second god.
Anyone with useful suggestion on the Netflix thing should pls reply here.
Thanks

Do you mean 200,000 dollars annually?
Cos 20,000 dollars per year in the US is barely living above poverty line.

I stand to be corrected.

20, 000 with some summer jobs if lucky

I was just thinking about general hygiene habits of the inhabitants of temperate and polar regions where the covid-19 pandemic is rampant.

My experience is that the cold could make one not take his bath for a couple of days.

This could be partly responsible for the exponential increase in the rate of contracting this virus in these regions.

which means he married very late for him to best man Onyeama's wedding.
BTW, from some sources, Onyeama has the temerity; Abba recommended him to Buhari.

Some questions on my mind: I sighted the chopper that brought his body on Thursday around 5pm. Why didnt the said chopper fly straight to Maiduguri his country home for a befitting African burial?
Gudu cemetery looks so desolate and quite unkempt , quite unbefitting of a man in Abba's status. If you argue that that Muslims do not accord much reverence to their dead I will prove you quite wrong in a thousand ways. And mind you that burial was a mere formality. Kemi Olunloyo may not be completely right but guys wake up and ask necessary questions. How many policemen, soldiers or NCDC personnel did you see enforcing the social distancing rules and stuff like that at the burial site. Brethren, a man in Abba's status cannot be buried that way and secondly, the Federal Government would be heavily involved with substantial security and health paraphenelia. If Abba's corona stricken body was flown into abuja, come on what we saw as burial was just a cloak. Again the secrecy sorrounding his treatment until death was quite uncalled for. Both Prince Charles and Boris Johnsons' treatments where made known to the public till they gained full recovery. And then he will die on Friday and get hurried on Friday because he's a Muslim? Common guys think again.

There are then further facts deducible from all these. He died a while ago and his body was cremated in utmost secrecy. They looked at the implication of letting the public know this and realized it would be absolutely misunderstood despite the health necessity and decided to form a phoney burial at Gudu cemetery.

Let's look at Gudu cemetery bit. I often pass this cemetery each time I am going to Apo mechanic village to do my car and always wondered the caliber of people that are buried there. I then became curious. I found out that even top military personnel are not buried there alone a man in Abba's status. They cemetery has got no ornamental plants or plaques containing epitaphs or beautiful tomb demarcations just like Ikoyi cemetery where ordinary Da Grin was buried.

Did you see the ambulance and moto cade and how professional the burial men on PPE were, with a Federal Government corpse? A top government functionary in Abba's status that died in active service? No No performance of any national ritual like presentation of writ or adornment with national flag as would be done for a private soldier that died in the line of duty? Guys we are not dumb! Then what sort of grave was that? Were they bury in a stillborn child whose mother also died in tedious labour?

I will stop here. May Abba rest well wherever he is!

Hello nairalanders

A married man is woeing my babe o

Guys what should we do?

before or during this lockdown?

Facebook introduces account memorization where a setting entrusts ones Facebook account on someone else's care to manage in times of death.
This is coming in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.

MadeBoy:
I'm a guy that likes my privacy reasons of my quality time to think and pray for hours. Because I face a lot of spiritual challenges. And my midnight prayers have been helping me. Most especially when I had a nightmare or anytime I woke up.

I will seal up my windows and doors while my AC is blasting high. And even when I raise up my voice it doesn't come out.

The government just extended the lockdown which is tiring. She came to my house and doesn't want to leave. I have so many debts on my head now and my yearly house rent is expiring soon. This is the period I need to be alone in prayers. The little I have now I am using it to take care of her which I would have uses for myself to prolong the suffering during this lockdown. Branch and carbon are sending me SMS to pay my loans.

My apartment is so cussing, chilling and so comfortable more than her house by far. Maybe reason she doesn't want to go. She will be disturbing me and dragging remot control with me. When I am watching TV she will just change it to nollywood drama.

I do want her to be coming and going. Not just to come and stay like she is doing now. I'm not use to this type of life unlike some of my friends.

Outside of all this, I do not see future with her just normal control things..

I have not been able to leave the house or do other personal private stuff.

I need her to go maybe coming on some weekends or when invited.

After enough straffing with hope that lockdown will end and she will leave. Now its extended.
In understand you plight but the whole thing sound like my experience in the high school. Nauraland full of kids these days. Kai

They have started ripping Nigerians off with extraneous data charges.
Kindly help state the service providers with the best data charges within this trying times of the country.

You may wish to give us a front page on this. This will not demarket any brand because advanced countries subsidize these things within this period while in Nigeria, its time for their own pound of flesh.

It is most worrisome because, the industry is in the category of services exempted from the national freeze. And they continue to rake in huge profits despite the lockdown. Why would it be difficult to help people in this critical moment when their services are needed most after they have ripped us dry in the past.

Kindly give us front page. Enough of this hypocrisy!

Can you shut upppp?

My cousin is yet in big dilemma. He currently works for a not-for-profit in Nigeria and earns about 500k net. He just got a scholarship to study phd History studies (can't remember the actual combination) in a US university.
He is married with 3 kids below 10 years. Wife is an enterpreneur.
Should he leave this job for the PhD?

Guys how are you get8ng on requesting for I-20 in this pandemic period. Is anyone applying yet for visa interview dates for Falls resumption?

why is it selling in Pounds, thought its a French car?

Do this while you are indoors observing the shutdown due to the pandemic.
You do not necessarily need the blood of anything but olive oil.
After prayers smear the oil on two sides of your door posts especially the outside ones, as commanded and say "let the angel of destruction passover us" or whichever way you want to say this as commanded.
I have done my bit.
Thanks

MayenKudi:
Nigerians as usual have reacted to a tweet by Wizkid where he called himself the best. He made this tweet with the hashtag #BestofBothWorlds and while some people are having none of it, his fans are affirming his claim. Some others are more baffled by his tweet showing Twitter for Android instead of Twitter for iPhone. Someone even said he should delete it.

So guys tell me what you think, did he go out of line calling himself best or do you think calling himself best is very much deserved?

Best in donation for the Covid-19 fight or what?

my brother is a public health professional who had been denied both B1 and F-1 visa for not being able to establish family ties to a foreign country outside US. I am wondering if I should sell this idea to him. In fact his last denial was so "embarrassing" (he is a rookie, this may not qualify as embarrassment generally) that I needed to call him after he narrated his ordeal with the VO. He was sitting motionless, saying he's ashamed of himself to have failed ordinary visa I interview. Check moniker for the transcript of his interview at the Travel section.

OtemAtum:
Op, pls don't introduce another virus o. Which one is COVID-29 again. Abeg we don't want a covid in the next nine years o.

Mosminic:
The best answer would've been that he'll come back to Nigeria since he can no longer fund himself. If you read previous transcripts, you'd have seen that.

same with what he said: if what he saved could not push him further, he's ready to return. Thats what he said.

Mosminic:
Why present a bank statement when you have a full funding with no deficit at all?

he held it in case, afterall no harm having mire than enough. He was expectedly asked what happens if the funding stopped. And he said he had some savings to push him further, the the bank statement was demanded.

Mosminic:
Hmm It's either there was a mistake on the part of the VO (which I actually doubt, pardon me) or your friend probably didn't answer the questions well enough during the interview as opposed to his transcript. Let him just reapply and share his proposed transcript here so we can help with it if necessary.

why did the VO say he was preaching her when all was did was explanations? And taking his bank statement in and spending Tim before coming back yo her window is also suspicious .

Mosminic:
Okay then. In as much as you think he answered the questions very well and should be given the visa, the job of the VOs is to detect a potential immigrant or a person who might not be able to fund his studies. Does he have a deficit on his I-20? If he does, how much?

No deficit. Not a penny. He even supplied evidence of personal funds

Are there no prophets in this land. Kindly coordinate prayers amongst the faithfuls. Thee are so much for God to say. God wants to address us on this Pandemic.

Hi guys, I need your advise on this product called mega fertile. Had anyone used it? It is for pregnancy and the claims are quite huge.
I intend to buy it and would need son advise or testimonial from anyone that has used it.

codeline:
So sorry to hear. Did he get any form of funding or assistantship? Not having any form of funding could be the issue.

He is on a full funding

Mosminic:
The reply to the why US question seems suspicious. Better job prospects in the US?

in Nigeria of course. I tried to be brief. He is very smart. Why do we arrogate so much infallibility to the VOs?

oracle009:
It came along with admission. Stated in my letter

Congratulations. What is the value of your studentship? I guess cost of living in Ohio will be way too low for the funding to be all encompassing .

And my brothers visa interview for F-1 visa went thus:
Bro: Good morning ma'am
VO: good morning, hand in your passport and I-20
Bro: sure, complied
VO: why do you want a PhD in the US
Bro: standard of education, a and then better jib prospects etc (he is a pro, he did justice to this question )
VO: What are your duty schedules and how are they linked to the PHd., .....
Bro: I give veritable advise that inform top government policies. I am also a lecturer in ABC Uni where my promotion has been stalled for want of a PhD ...
VO: you don't have to preach me, you only have to tell me what you do. You are preaching me. Hand in your account statment.
Bro: yes ma'am , he submits it
VO: goes through it and apparently got glued to a part. She walks away into the inner office, spent lose to 5 mins surprisingly and back, a few click on the computer and then sorry, you are not eligible this time bla bla

valarmorghulis:
Campaign materials of President Muhamadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari have surfaced online.

The campaign shirts and face-caps already generating mixed reactions on social media, have the inscription “Sustainability 2023′ ‘Towards sustaining the good policies and ideologies of President Muhamadu Buhari,” boldly written on them.

There have been rumours flying about suggesting that the Chief of Staff was warming up to take over from his boss in 2023.

Sources said his ambition is the cause of some major and obvious crisis at the Presidency as he (Kyari) allegedly sees some close allies to the President as a threat to his aspiration.

Recall that the 2023 campaign vehicle of dethroned Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi, had emerged online earlier this week.

The vehicle had the inscription “All Nigerian Youth Project 2023, Lets Save Nigeria.”

Xisnin:
It is a common law marriage.

like seriously, living together and making babies is common law marriage. Chai Nairaland
I'm sure you got this concept from something like this. But you should have read further down.

Xisnin:
You are married in the eyes of the law.
You need a formal court divorce.

which law. There is presumption of cohabitation which works in times of civil liabilities of either party. This is not marriage under law.

Remijuice:
Please Forgive my Grammar.

A man and a woman living together as husband and wife with kid(s) but are not legally Married. That is, no Traditional or Court Wedding.

If one of them decides not interested in the Union, should he/she go to court before they are Separated?

Modified: If there is no Divorce Proceedings, what happens to the kids?

First you didnt say whether the kids are minors or otherwise. They are simply illegitimate under law and could only be legitimised by a subsequent marriage of the parents. The parent can go separate ways without legal tussle. If the children have attained majority age, ie 18 and above, they can chose who to go with. If they are below, the woman will reasonably have custody except there are vitiating elements that will prove her Inappropriate. The customary and magistrates courts can entertain such cases of custody of illegitimate children but those are still what they will determine.
