If this news is false, you'll be banned from Nairaland.
Thank you

Good morning guys. I need to get a medical certificate in Lagos for camp. Any suggestions (not expensive) would be appreciated.

Jus walk into any general hospital, go to the medical records section ask for what you want. Some even have some sort of notice about how to request for medical report. Prepare your mind for 2k and above, know Ur blood-type and genotype, if you don't have they can fabricate a nice one. Though it's better you know it, better to do a correct medical report just in case you need it for a more serious purpose later. Dat u won't have to spend twice

I did mine yesterday 2.5k, I didn't bargain d price though. General hospital Mushin

Info from new internal NYSC memo say stream 2 Camping is July 11 to 31. Website will be updated soonest

Well I do not like this idea of using call-up printing to calculate when stream 1 were informed of when camping starts June 23. That date had already been fixed officially and not altered Som 5weeks to and we all regardless were all on standby by default for the date. Don't rationalise an impromptu stuff and incompetenence for NYSC. They simply don't have their house in order.

Stream 11 deserves a date announced officially like 3weeks before, so all pcm's can adequately prepare for the excruciating camp exercise and even thereafter.

Buh I have a feeling it will give me an headstart to kick off in full my success story. Believe wid me too

I know it's not appropriate, but I find this thread a little amusing, sorry much amusing. Guys giving the dude moral support... Lol
Wetin I fit say self, my head jus hang sha. I certainly won't say forget the babe or that the relationship ever happened but I will advised u use a distraction, divert energy and time to something else you feel would be rewarding to your existence.

Do you realize that most of the time, DISCOs can not distribute generated and transmitted power because they lack the capacity to pay for received electricity and general operations?

Do you realize that the DISCOs are in red because electricity consumers are not willing to pay for what's not metered via meters that the DISCO's refused to provide hence the DISCOs not able to generate needed fund to improve operations even after the government sanctioned them for not providing the meters.


Do you also mind explaining to us why the new power operators the manufacturers are turning to are doing better at generation, transmitting and distributing, meeting their financial obligations, contractual obligations, paying their gas suppliers and so on?


Bottom line, the DISCOs don't and never had the capacity to function in the power sectors based on so many reasons from lack of needed power sector knowledge, funds to function with and invest in expansions, alternative power projects like wind, solar and so on.

Banks for obvious reasons won't extend to them any loan facilities so the DISCOs are eternally doomed and are sooner or later going to bankrupt and pack up or be bought up by the new power operators.

Stop crying for the DISCOs because they are not your saviors and they can not successfully participate in the power sectors. Their foundation was rotten from the beginning when their cronies in the government handed over to them the National power assets for cheap.

Thanks for educating a lot of Nigerians, really much appreciated. I think with this move the discos who still hope to do real business within the sector will buckle up for fear of losing substantial market share. Some of them are now reacting by promising to distribute meters to consumers, though I would rather have them being proactive.

I just want everything to move simultaneously, healthy competition. It will be in public interest it is so. Disco lighting up homes is critical to sustained economic, job creation and every other good stuff. I pray for them.

Good people, young ones please rather than engage in idle banters, mud slinging, parochial narratives, single narrative open up your mind to learn. Only that profits you on this forum. Shalom

Alexkene:
To be promoted in the police force, you must have stayed 6 months in your present rank. Abba Kyari was promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police in January. Few months later he caught 'Vampire' and the IGP ordered the promotion of all officers involved. He was not promoted, since he was not up to six months in his rank of ACP. Now he has caught Evans, and the IGP has ordered another promotion of officers involved. I'm sure, he will would fight tooth and nail to get this one, since he is six month in his ACP rank already. (Jan-June). If he gets it, he will be a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) which is the rank before commissioner of police. His superiors are scared since he is meeting up with them in rank and might soon pass them, so they are doing all they can to stop the promotion. Haha. He has strong backing of the IGP though, so he might prevail. But at the end, the Police Service Commission has the final say. The IGP can only recommend senior officers for promotion, while the Police Service Commission approves. Finally, the IGP shouldn't be ordering promotions every time a criminal is apprehended. If it continues that way, it will destabilise the force and cause envy and enemity. He should introduce Police medal of honour as it is done in the US. My 2 cents!

Have your 2 cents... Nicely done

I hope someone can confirm my thought, will I be right to belief that a digital switch over will mean terrestrial TV signals for watching terrestial TV stations ABI local stations will stop working??

Dat has always been my thought since the Obasanjo govt first showed interest in this digital tin. Am I wrong

This is also a similar shit brought during the Ibikunle led SUG then for 900k each. I seriously doubt my generation will make Nigeria any better if the madness continues on a generic basis.

Enoquin:
Again, how many know enough about peaceful and lawful resolution of conflicts? Nairaland is but a tiny representation of Nigeria, so how many do you think will be reached.

As regards your bolded, true! But you are assuming that the society we live in is perfect and highly enlightened with all having knowledge about and obeying all the laws.
If a girl or boy for that matter, who hasn't been to school like you and I, doesn't listen to the radio nor watch television and the 'internet' as they know It is Facebook, and such a person is being owed by someone whom they had worked for in an economy that has been harsh of recent, only two line of actions are open to the person; leave everything to God or 'fight' back using their limited knowledge.
Don't forget to you, a threat is a crime because of your level of enlightenment but to the girl, a threat might be seen as a way to fight for her entitlement.

MY first post on this thread would have been absent of my opening paragraph, but folks here forced my hands. Why, most of them would have done same just as the lady did.
They clearly have the minimum level of education and exposure to know better, but always we are who we are.

The law doesn't reckon ignorance, yet I will accommodate Ur inkling towards allowing a bit of it. The law asides, when did it become cool to ever threaten a person and his/her family. Especially because of your presumed lawful pay, I use the word presume carefully.

Nigeria is not perfect, Nigeria is not even good but it doesn't have to be this way. We can make it better by encouraging sanity, it begins with the little things. Respect for humanity, and it is both ways here; both Oga and salesgirl

Enoquin:
State your points clearly, I can't seem to make it out especially as it seems contradictory and I don't want to make any assumptions as regards what you mean. Are you castigating the girl or Adeola?

I'm particularly interested in what landed the lady in court. No one should go around threatening another to demand your presumed lawful right. The madam certainly hasn't acted in good faith, but she should have sought a peaceful solution. The law is sacrosanct here.

Nairaland won't make her suffering go, but we can avoid another person from falling prey by collective educating ourselves on peaceful and lawful resolution of conflict.

Enoquin:
Your summation and that of @fearlez is funny and at the same time not so. If you both think that all Nigerian kids have smart devices with which they can connect to the internet much less know who Kim Kardashian is, then you both might not live in Nigeria and if you do, live only amongst the affluent who have no idea how the rest of Nigeria lives. Just so you know, there are many - adults and teens who do not have any idea about the internet much less how to navigate it.

Also, going to the police station is not something many people want to do; most poor and unenlightened folks see the police in another light.

She is just another average Nigerian teen with no idea on how to go about her ordeal and then resorting to threats after I am sure much pleas or several neutral messages had been sent with no effect. I wish she had been educated instead of being thrown in jail.

Oh my!!! I see the few ones here who wouldn't want to learn, share and grow. Have you ever asked why so many people are ignorant of a lawful manner to dispute resolution? The adults have refused to grow, they would rather exchange banters than learn. It's about time someone starts educating a few more of them with open mind.

Oga no pay me 6k, I threaten to harm not only her but the whole family, let's laugh about that.

MediumStout:
Shut ur rotten Gob. Wicked souls. You think naija police will go arrest a madam just because of 6k debt? Obviously u live in mars. If the madam happened to be the one that issued threat against the poor girl do you think she will be in jail? This is because justice in Nigeria is for the highest bidder. An hungry poor girl will say anything out of frustration to get her 6k salary. We don't even know if she's supporting her home from the peanuts she's earning.

I hope you take a different approach to demand your pay if faced with similar situation. Use the same tact like the girl, you will face same dilemma. Just use some sense, not to much to ask.

Fearlez:
The law is the law-justice doesn't always have to be right.

While the sales girl committed a crime , a criminal offence by threatening someone, the madam did not, as wicked as her actions are.

Kids nowadays avail themselves with celebrity news, entertainment, sports and fashion but not the dire consequences of their actions.

Sending a text threatening one's family is legally different than if it were delivered verbally!

Interesting summation. Kids will rather see who wore it better, read abt Kim kard, Beyoncé, engagé stupid tribal arguments and all scallywags nonsense. The funny thing is that has u can see them here, they remain kids even when the number requires they turn adults and embrace a responsive life.

The girl clear committed a crime, Assault. She is clearly an adult, 18. She clearly hasn't grow a bit or learnt anytin from the society, a complex one as Nigeria. She should have walked into a nearby police station, tend her case and the police would have invited her madam by just calling her on phone.

Sadly she's learning the hard way.

Joavid:
had a friend who went to OAU. spent 6 years for a 4 years course. missing or no results all the time.

The guy was frustrated.

Undergraduate... I'm quite certain your friend lied to you. There is nothing like missing or no result in Ife. He's probably telling tales as to his poor performance academically. My comment has a 99.9% confidence level

Seungid1:
Kikikikiki, why is this so funny to me? I guess you did not read that intelligent writeup there. South koreans import food, they hardly practise agriculture, do you know where they are in world economy? We are soooo backward around here, jeeeezzzzz!
Nobody is saying agrisulture is not good for us as a country, but it cannot be what the economy will be solely based on.

Well saying the write up is rubbish is rather too harsh and unkind. But have you ever wondered why South Korea is having sleepless night in that region than all other countries over what North Korea does. They will be most affected in a war situation, no food to keep the population, just a blockade or economic sabotage then half the population become malnourished. Read on Qatar..

Ziinno:
It's only weird to you because you probably grew up in a family where there isn't enough family bonding.

My man is very Family oriented. He's the guy that would go overboard for his sister, attend all family events and give up his last dime for them.
I on the other hand, have a brother I haven't seen in years even though we live in the same town and a sister I don't speak to and probably never will until forever. I've missed more family events than anyone and I am genuinely indifferent about them.

So imagine how weird it was for me to see the bond among my man's siblings when I first met him, it took a while but I eventually accepted it.

Dear, I love your comment so much. It shows how much we can grow in love if we last appreciate maturity.

In the Op's post, the two situations she cited are trivial issues. Any human being let alone a son should attend physically to a sick person/mother if time and space permits. Excessive calling, every hour is definitely an exaggeration and the following mama to d grave too is also. She hasn't said the man denies her of any of the twos or others.
Interestingly, she said the mother said the finance shld remain at work, that her illness isn't serious. That's a pointer to mutual interest relationship healthy for both mother and son as against a parasitic one. I doubt the mama's boy label seriously except...

This is one of the most misleading posts on this platform. Gone are the days of smart and knowledgeable moderator or supermoderator who bring verified educative thread to frontpage

I'm most disappointed in the op, his threads are always informative except for this. I will allow you a first gaff.

The naira is much stronger than most of the currency outlined. When you do currency strength analysis you use labour wage rate, purchasing power, inflation etal

Currencies would have been better benchmark against one another if the gold backing still existed. That would have been clear for all to see, but now you need to start digging for history of currency to know how valuable each currency is.

Of the 24000 people that viewed this thread now, over 22000 have been misled, so what do we do.

I cannot understand people nowadays, someone you barely know, want to borrow from you and the place to discuss was his house. You drove down there or bike to the place, all to discuss your own money for hire. You must be so nice

I bet if d guy carry your money sef, na jus look u go dey look am

Epl na bàbà.. Jus brought great memories. God bless dis op

Ifebazz:
Talking bunkers. In an enclosure and a guy already sprayed gun shots into it via the window before he foolishly came to confirm his kill only to meet his timely death. You still want a man, police or not to remain inside not knowing whether the others were coming over too? Moreover, you don't know his stockpile of ammunition could last him the next few seconds. It was a split second decision and I think the policeman perhaps took the most logical one.

Very valid, maybe some they think this is a movie where 100 bad guys shoot at Van Damne and surprisingly VD only takes a bullet hole in the stomach while he kills all 100 with a 9mm revolver.... Lol

iukpe:
O boy at that point decision making is a matter of seconds. Being in that little room unable to look out of the window, you will not know whether they have dynamites or rocket launchers. They just got there, he doesn't know whether the next batch of robbers are coming in and he just killed one.

U just made valid point. Nairalanders are more sensational rather than being pragmatic. The footage shows the robbers neva engaged or shot at the security house when they came down rather they shot into the air just to scarce away inhibitors which means they were focused on the man with cash than trying to engage obstacles until the policemen in the gatehouse shot at them, which brought the attention of the deceased robber to engage them; a more ruthless gang of robbers would at the very point of navigation into the bank carpark shoot the unarmed uniform guard and fire at anything at sight.

The police gave their position away by shooting at the robbers, otherwise those robbers in that video would just avẹ been oblivious of them, collect the cash for their victim and move on, mayb a Zero casualty scene.

Also I think the robbers were not actually prepared to attack their victim within a bank premise with security (and a bank robbery Either) , they probably did that as a necessity. The scenario is more of trailing the victim by following the victim's car until they get to a safe place to attack, but plan changed when they realised the victim just drove into a bank and will most likely deposit the money they sought. The necessity induced to attack the victim in a bank premise, so as not to lose the money. Probably a large sum.

Edited: I just saw a lengthy version of the clip about 2:58seconds, the robbers car was the car reversing after moving past the bank, they definitely were trailing the victim until the victim made for the bank. They weren't prepared for that, yet took d risk, took the hit... Lol

I don't blame the police for engaging them, they were probably relaxing in the security house with guns held loosely. Not pre-informed or premeditated, they heard gunshots, enclosed in a very small room built with perforated 7or 9inches cement blocks with just 20mm thickness, with the shots fired from less than 15 metres diameter, not sure of the numbers of the robbers, peeped through the window and saw Ak-47, a deadly weapon capable of ripping through metals.

Instinct for survival says u stand a chance by fighting your way out of the rat-hole, make it to the back of the bank and probably scale the fence outrightly escaping or take better vintage battle strategic positions.
I won't have done otherwise, that security house is no safe house in this unscripted movie. Nairandlers ova...

I couldn't resist not to comment, bcus it is necessary to advise guys here not to get killed thinking they can handle an Ak-47 not a sniper's rifle or grenade even a sniper has to take aim and shoot not point and shoot, hiding in a gatehouse built with perforated 7 or 9 inches block now faced with a sudden death situation and think you will take out at less than 15 meters distance 4guyz armed with Ak-47 and probably charms with strong intent to kill.

But visit a robbery scene and educate your minds, else you are dead meat if faced with similar conditions.

Have u been watching the series. Where can I get to watch them live.

This kind of unverified news making front-page, not a forbes publication but the fabrication of an hungry blog shows nairaland has lost true content. Pathetic for Africa's "foremost" online forum. Dead

blackberlin:
So which school will own this one now? Abi na for any student to just enter dey tell driver say owa owa ...
Seems like a clueless project to me. It would have made more sense to donate a public library or school equipments like computers etc instead of advertising himself. Ariwo poju!

Upon all the level of exposure, they'll still do things like a typical politician...

I find it absurd that even with your modesty in use of language and pure common sense some nit wit will quote you to abuse. You have spoken the truth and nothing other than the truth. I do not have the strength for an Epistle, even If I did the opinionated low grade thinkers won't read.

Desmond Olusola knows exactly what he is doing and he knows the money spent on the bus is better used for other projects with better reaching effects but he won't, why He has turned a proper politician. The bus, he must have been advised would bring better publicity and increased fanatism in front of the low thinking residents of his constituency and even beyond as we don see on nairaland sef. The majority of the people are low thinkers, easily satisfied with mediocrity.

Abeg make d bus dey go up and down the neighbourhood , do d little it can for the kids still while the politicians ride on the goodwill till we can have a massive involvement of the right set of people in government administration. That only takes God to do.

Seem a lot of people have lost memory of history, this story started with Capital Oil and MRS diverting million of litres of petrol kept in their tank farm. MRS has accepted wrong doings and has paid back the cash equivalent of what was diverted, hence no case was drag for further prosecution. Reasons why Ifeanyi Ubah Capital Oil decides to ride on in impunity eludes me, NNPC owing him whatever is inconsequential in this case even if it is true.
A rich man always evade true justice. Make we dey see

I don't think the real reason for suicide here is just the fact that someone won a 600k bet. he's just an agent. the parent company are supposed to be responsible for such huge payments. there should be more research on the cause of his death. he could have simply run away but he chose to die for a meagre 600k? to me, something just doesn't add up

You might be right, someone probably killed the guy and sent a suicide text from his phone. Very possible, most of the guys that do this sportbet agent are often not the type that can commit suicide because of debt.

Dinho, only 2 and half years and the memory serves me a lifetime. Sadly football doesn't appeal much to me Dis days, the joy of the game was killed by Chelsea and Mourinho

She has all the freedom to send condolences to the victims in Manchester and ignore those of Borno. Her prerogative

We are Nigerians by default, 99.9% won't be by choice. Almost a cursed nation
