presidency:
Contrary to the misinformation being circulated on social media, the Lagos—Ibadan Standard Gauge Rail Line is the first Standard Gauge Rail line in Nigeria to be started (2017) and completed (2020) by the same administration- the Buhari Administration.

I thought these thread is specifically talking about COAS.

WhiteRuler:
First of all, apologies for any errors you may come across as I am not at the right frame of mind now.

Secondly, this post is 100% real about my life. So nothing is fake in it.

I'm a man, precisely 33 years old. I graduated from the University in 2019 at age 31. You may ask why I was still in school till that age. Well, I have realized that family/parental background matters a lot in a child's life no matter how people try to twist the fact. My family/parental background wasn't a good one educationally and financially as my parents were just petty traders and this has contributed negatively in achieving my goals and aspirations in life. With the above, you can deduce that there was no sources of funding for my tertiary education so I had to find a job after my secondary school while very ambitious about my furthering my education because I always believed in acquiring education up to university level. This led me to doing several odd jobs such as construction site labourer, security guard, cleaning, barbing, hawking, even to remove soak away and many others just to feed and see myself through school. Let me also add that @33 now, there are some jobs I can't do again because of some changes in my health system occasioned by some of the odd jobs I exposed myself to. For example, any strenuous job now is not for me as it makes me breath heavily like an asthmatic patient; any job that requires standing for long or bending down not for me due to broken waist (although these might be solvable issues but for now, I can't tell cos I have no money to visit health facility).

Moving on, while I may be thanking God for the academic success (even though the school is yet to issue me certificate) but I'm having strong feelings about myself. I feel like I have failed in life. I feel like I am a failure. My mates who got admission into university immediately after secondary school are gainfully employed today, living in comfortable apartment (built or rented), married with kids, have their own car and generally doing well. Even the ones who didn't further but venture into learning trade are doing well too. On the other hand, at 33, I have virtually nothing to show for it. Still living in one thatch house, poor, hungry and starving, no wife, no kid(s) (not even a serious girlfriend), no job, no car and nothing to show for my 33 years on earth. This is why I'm feeling like I have failed in life and it has made me to always be ashamed of myself and always trying to avoid meeting my mates who are doing well.

Also, looking at the country Nigeria, most employers recruit under 30. @33, what are my chances of
landing a good job if I refuse to forge age and go for service but collect exemption letter? What are even the possibility of getting a job as I have no capital for business? Note: between 2019 and now, I've learnt several online money making skills but yet to make a kobo out of it all. Note also: ordinarily, I wouldn't seek employment (private or government) because I'm multi talented e.g in football, entertainment or business but these talents need money to develop which is what I'm lacking.

My questions:
Please what do you all think? Do you think I have failed or I'm a failure in life? What is the future holding for me? As at today, the only thing I can boast of is "I am a graduate". Nothing more...like I said, poor, hungry and starving.

Help me with good pieces of advice please before my mind begins to consider evil as fastest way of making money. Thanks.

UncommonLogic:


Obviously you don't understand what we are talking Bout here.
Let me give you an example

You want to wire 5000 USD to your Nigerian dom account. Chase bank for example will charge you 40 dollars if you do it online by yourself. They will charge you 50 dollars if you walk into a branch to have it done.
So your total is now $5040 or $5050 depending on your choice.
Once it is done, 5000 USD is expected to be deposited into your GTB dom account. Unfortunately, GTB has been removing 20 to 25 dollars from this total.
It has happened to me at least 3 to 4 times. And they don't have a good reason for why. You will just get a round around without proper reason.
The worst part is the money removed is not even stated as a charge anywhere in your account statement, no where does it say it's for this or that charge. It just disappeared.

Those are the facts.

UncommonLogic:


It is ok if the bank wants to charge for any service. But you have to state it in the transaction.
I'm sending money from my US account to my GTB dom account, I have paid all fees requested by my US bank yet GTB still removed 20 to 25 dollars. No reason given and it does not reflect on the transaction what the amount was removed for.
To make matters worse, when I send it to another bank in Nigeria, I get all my money.
So explain that.
GTB is still.my bank but they are messing up on this issue.

jmoore:
Dangote and price of cement.

Most of us like to follow the crowd. The crowd sometimes act based on emotions.

Dangote is not the only cement manufacturer in Nigeria. We have Lafarge and BUA. So why are the blames all pointed at Dangote?

I haven't seen any post that listed prices of Lafarge and BUA cement.

If Lafarge and BUA are cheaper than Dangote, then go for the cheaper ones.

If all of them have same prices, then 'crucify' all. Not dragging only Dangote.

IpobAntidote:
I often wire money to myself from US bank to my GTB dom account. They always remove something from the total transfer. I took it up with them and they couldn't give me a good explanation. I later found out that Access bank doesn't remove any charges, I have been using Access since then for my wire transfers since then. I don't think it's any CBN rule. At first they blamed my bank in the US, I called my bank and I was told that's not true. They then tried to blame it on the intermediary bank. I just stopped using my GTB dom account.
Still love GTB but no more wire transfer to my dom account.

LaIabobo:
There is always offshore charge for wire transfers.

Usually, the sender bears the charge. I'm guessing this particular sender opted that the "beneficiary bears offshore charge", thus you were charged.

It has always been 25usd.
Next time, ask questions or you use Western Union to receive your money

abeg we no fit talk for military Mata again. e don tire me.
but there's this feeling in me that doesn't believe the guy's story. how would they just attack you for no just cause, all bcus u just asked if the centre won't show the soccer match?
he asked one of he guys seated and the next thing is he kicked you on the check for asking if they won't show the game?. hmmm, there's something under the cooking spoon that hasn't been checked, if not the oil on top would have poured down.


Let's not jump into conclusion my fellow elders. let wait for the gods to speak to ezemo

Modified*
some persons have quoted me. and I need to make us reason this.
someone said it cus similar thing hasn't happened to me. Yes I have never in my life face security personnel's brutality. but this guy's story is pitiful and at the same time not adding up.

if he had said, "He thinks the reason for their attack was he guess he never greeted them before asking his question" it would have been understandable or some he was mistaken for someone else or he was not supposed to wear his shoe inside the centre or probably other reason. even if it a silly excuse it's welcome. so we can no pin why he was brutalise. or if those personnel had wanted to be alone in the viewing centre, cus he said the place was scanty. then there would have been someone at the door to turn him back.

and how was his NYSC cert seen to be seized. was he taking his cert everywhere he went cus I'm confused. they must know his housed to seize his cert. or the matter started from the camp ground, and they were just finding what and how to get hold of him.

he was later also attacked at the hospital. haba which mentality ill militey personnel will still go to the victims hospital bed to still want to kill him if something had not transpired before the football centre event.

Aside that, I was locked in their own cell (guardroom) for more than two days, while I was still on treatment, they took me away from the hospital, was nearly killed, even at their base.
No food, no medical care, infact cold and mosquitos dealt with me to the extent I felt I was going to die, despite that they still gave me cutlass to cut grasses and gave me broom to sweep their compound. and fetch water.
The parents of the Airforce guys got involved and together with our traditional rulers pleaded with our family to settle amicably without taking the case to court.

All this for asking a mere question. no na, no n this isn't adding up.

For every conflict, there is always motive and what transpired it.

this is a one sided story. so we can't just conclude yet
