Hello. TB guru in the house. I advised a friend to invest in TB. After so much persuasion, she invested N20,000,000 for 3 months @ 16.3%. When I did the calculation for her, I told her to expect interest of about N811k.
She just called me now that's she got 794k then they deducted like 79k for tax and 20k because it is a corporate account and other charges reducing it to like 690k. Please, how come? She did it with Zenith bank. Is it because she used a corporate acct?
Though u have made up your mind to allow her with the pastor. I will advise you to reconsider your decision and don't allow her.
This will give you the opportunity to see how far she can go about this issue. Don't give in. You are going into a trap. DONT ALLOW HER HAVE HER WAY. Wait and see what will happen next. If there is more to it, this is the only way you can know.
BlindAngel: Good afternoon Nairalanders, my wife gave birth last week which was Saturday July 13th, that day was also my birthday, she gave birth through CS, this is our first child, and it's a boy.
This week Saturday is our baby's naming ceremony but my wife is insisting that her pastor must be the one officiate the naming the child, we've been disagreeing over this for some couple of days now,
she has called me all sorts of names, insulted me that I'm a very wicked man that I have no conscience, that after she pain and tearing she went through and still going through, I can't make this as a sacrifice for her, that I choose my family over her. She said so because my family also insist too that the naming must be done by our pastor.
But she's keying on the fact that she won't agree for the naming to be done in my church that it must be done by her pastor, she has cried and insulted me regarding this. Yesterday when we were arguing about this same particular issue she starting crying endlessly and calling me a wicked man.
I have finally agreed for her to use her pastor to do the naming, although I don't know her pastor and haven't seen him before, but I only agreed because of the CS operation she did while giving birth, her endless crying might affect her, if not there's absolutely no way possible I'd have agreed.
I must say that she doesn't know the repercussions of what sha has done by challenging my authority and always wanting to have her way with tears all the time. But time sha tell, I'm in so much rage right now, and I'm trying my possible best to control myself and not to loose my anger over this.
Na so una dey fail exam. Where in the poster did they write " Achievement" in 100 days? They wrote "First 100 days". Activities in 100 days is different from achievement in 100 days.
We all know that the country is in a sorry state but must we always blame the country for everybody's recklessness? Na wa for una ooo.
Atk1nson: Nigeria is in a mess, how can a child die in at home, with the parent self-medicating. What happen to the hospitals in the country?
In a normal country, this should lead to national self-reflection with an inquiry as to why the baby was not taken to the hospital.
I really feel sorry for the lady having to lose a baby under circumstances that are likely avoidable.
Hopefully, nigerians will one day realise their enemy is not the person of other tribe or religion but the politicians who are eating away their destiny and even their chidrens destiny.
We had a president who for 8 years got treatment in the UK, whilst doctors were often on strike and relocating enmass. Now the country has another one who gets treatment in france, while the population is left with subpar hospital facilities that are sarce and unaffordable for many
123yes: This APC government have no sense. You devalue you currency to almost #1770 to a,$ollar They have to increase their prices so as to cover their cost of production. That is common economics. What did u want them to do? to produce and sale at a loss?.
Interesting... So because of the increase in $, that is why the cost of the product went up more than 100%. Una go just come online they stan wetin I no know.
Detailed list. You forgot to mention FOOTBALL AMERICAS. Where we watch Boca Juniors, ColoColo etc.
naptu2: I keep seeing posts (on Nairaland and Twitter) by people who claim that foreign football, especially English football, was not shown on Nigerian television before the year 2000. This is very shocking to me because I watched Brazilian, German, English, Dutch and other foreign football matches on my TV here in Lagos in the 1970s, '80s and 1990s. It has shocked me into creating this thread about football programmes (both foreign and local) that were shown on Nigerian TV in the 1970s, '80s and 1990s.
1) Brazilian Football: You did not watch television in the late 1970s and early 1980s if you don't know about Brazilian Football. It was a tradition. It was produced by O'Rede Globo and shown on the NTA at 10pm on Sundays. Vasco da Gama, Flamengo, Fluminense, Sao Paulo, I watched them all. This was a popular programme in Nigeria back then, so you did not watch TV if you don't know about it.
This was during the era of Zico, Socrates, etc. Do you remember that chewing gum that had pictures of the players (especially players at the 1982 World Cup)? I can't remember its name, but I remember that the pictures of Zico and Paulo Rossi were in high demand.
O' Globo also produced a variety programme called Fantastico, which was also shown at the weekends in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
2) Football Made In Germany: This was initially shown in the late 1970s and early 1980s, then it was stopped in the mid-1980s, then it was started again in 1990 (after Germany won Italia '90)and ran till almost 1999. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and all the Bundesliga teams featured on the show. The commentator was Tobi Charles and this was the format:
They would show short clips of last week's matches, then they'll show about 30 to 40 minutes of one of this week's matches (that would be the main match of the week), then they would show highlights of other matches that took place that week.
It was on Football Made in Germany that I watched Karl Heinz Rumenigge, Franz Beckenbauer, etc in the late 1970s and early 1980s and the fantastic teams of Eintracht Frankfurt, Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Stuttgart and Cologne in the 1990s.
There were Anthony Yeboah (the Ghanaian Yekini), Jay Jay Okocha and Maurizio Gaudino in Eintracht Frankfurt. I remember a match in which Okocha dribbled the entire Bayern Munich defence and beat Oliver Kahn, only to miss the goal by less than an inch. The momentum of his run took him behind the goal and Jean-Pierre Papin (the legendary French striker who played for Bayern at the time) came to meet him and pulled his shirt over his head (Toby Charles said that it was as if Papin was saying, "How can you dribble everybody, beat the keeper and fail to score?" )
I watched Jonathan Akpoborire (Johnny as Toby Charles called him) play for Hansa Rostock, watched Sunday Oliseh at Cologne, etc. I remember how the fans would chant Heeeiiiiiiikkkkkoooooo Heerrrrrrllllich.
I remember Andreas Moller and Julio Ceaser at Dortmund, etc,
Football Made in Germany was produced by Transtel Cologne and they also produced TeleMatch and Musicladen (which was called Top of the Pops in Nigeria), both of which were shown in the 1970s and early 1980s and again in the 1990s and many detective shows that were shown in the 1990s.
This (in the video below) is basically the same programme, but this one was produced for the United States, so the name is Soccer Made in Germany. The version that was produced for the NTA was called Football Made in Germany.
3) Big League Soccer: I remember this, although I did not watch it as religiously as I watched Brazilian Football and Football Made in Germany. This is English football and I remember watching Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Kevin Keegan and Bruce Grobbelaar (the Zimbabwean) on this show. The NTA also showed a lot of other English football games (FA Cup final, etc) but they were often irregular (not at set specific times).
4) Serie A: Serie A was the best league in the world back then and I believe that this show was also started because Italy was going to host the World Cup in 1990.
5) Segun Odegbami: NTA2 Channel 5 began a breakfast programme called Morning Ride, so NTA Channel 10 started a lunch programme. It was perfect for Channel 10 because Channel 5 had a habit of going on break from 12pm till 4pm during the weekends, so this was an opportunity for Channel 10 to steal some viewers.
The lunch programme was called The Sunday Show and it had celebrities that hosted segments in the show. Fran Kuboye hosted the art segment and Segun Odegbami hosted the sports segment.
Big Sheg had a habit of showing lots of clips of Belgian, Dutch and French league matches. This wasn't a surprise because Nigerian players were flocking to Belgium and Holland in the late 1980s.
The Sunday Show was shown on NTA Channel 10 from around 11am or noon on Sunday.
This segment became a separate show of its own around 1990. That was where I first saw Tony Akiotu. He was Segun Odegbami's assistant. It was now a one hour show and they showed lots of clips. I remember that they had a competition for goal of the tournament after Senegal '92.
Big Sheg also hosted a Serie A show on NTA2 Channel 5 from 1989 till 1990.
6) Sports World/Sports Spectacular: This programme had different names, but I call it Sports World because the BBC also had a similar programme that was called Sports World.
This programme was shown on the NTA from 4pm till 7pm. It featured any kind of sports. The show usually started at 3pm if Nigeria was going to play a match that Saturday.
Like I said, this show featured any and every kind of sports. If Nigeria was playing, then the live match would be on the show. Nigeria often played junior world cups in places with odd time zones like China, Canada, Japan, Chile, etc in the 1980s and the matches took place at night, Lagos time, so there would be a repeat of the match on Sports World on Saturday.
The Champions League was shown on the NTA beginning from 1994 and the matches were usually repeated on Sports World on Saturday.
They also showed documentaries about European football, Brazilian football, etc. If something significant had happened elsewhere, there would be a short clip of it on Sports World.
7) UEFA Champions League on CFI: Canal France International had the rights to the UEFA Champions League and the NTA began showing it in 1994. The commentator was usually Archie Macpherson.
I remember that this was where I watched that epic match between Barcelona and Manchester United in 1994. Romario and Stoichkov combined to punish United.
I remember that there was an instance when Stoichkov failed to pass to Romario, even though Romario was in a better position. Romario complained and Stoichkov said, "F**k off" and Archie Macpherson said, "Well I hope you can't lip read". But Stoichkov and Romario combined to score another goal just moments later. Barcelona beat United 4-0 at the Camp Nou.
8 ) Bournvita Match of the Day: Of course there was the Nigerian league and from c1986 till c1988 this was shown at 10pm as part of Bournvita Match of the Day. The intro was fantastic. Part of the intro featured an old man that was at the stadium. He was so engrossed in the match that was taking place in front of him that he was moving his hands and legs as if he was a player on the pitch.
I watched stars like Uwem Ekarika (Calabar Rovers), Osaro Obobaifo (Bendel Insurance), Bright Omokaro, etc on this show. It was hosted by Akinloye Oyebanji and others.
9) The Best of Football: Godwin Dudu Orumen's Pepsi The Best of Football began around 1992 and continued into the 2000s. They also showed lots of clips of European league matches. They had a news segment, they had discussion segments and they also had a match of the week.
10) Rothmans: English football made a comeback with Rothmans English Premier League around 1994 or 1995. The format was very similar to Football Made in Germany.
11 ) Satellite: Of course, in the late 1990s you could also watch the English Premier League on Supersports.
Multichoice came to Nigeria in 1993, but they didn't prioritise the kind of sports that Nigerians loved (that is, football and athletics). People complained, so eventually, sometime around 1997, they created Supersports 3 to show football.
12) TV Africa: TV Africa was a free television service that came to challenge Multichoice in the late 1990s (around 1998). It was based in South Africa, but registered in Mauritius. They syndicated their programmes to terrestrial TV stations across Africa and many of the new private TV stations in Nigeria showed their content. They got the free to air rights for the English Premier League and even the NTA took footage from them.
13) Mastersports: This show was created by Danladi Bako, who also created Morning Ride. It began in 1990 or 1991 and it was shown on NTA2 Channel 5 from noon (after the news) on Saturdays. The hosts were Paul Bassey (aka Sports Bassey, he was the sports editor of Champion Newspapers), Chris Eseka, Mitchell Obi and Sam John. Paul Bassey was the main anchor. They often showed clips of Nigerian professionals abroad, reviewed the sports pages of the newspapers, discussed important issues in Nigerian sports.
Something very funny happened one day in 1990 or 1991. I was watching the show with two people. I was sitting on the chair close to the TV, while the other two were on a coach at the other side of the room. Then Paul Bassey said, "We are still expecting our guests Mr *** and Mr ***". He mentioned the names of the two people on the coach. I looked at the couch, then looked at the TV. I looked at the people on the coach and then looked at the TV again. They started laughing and one of them said, "Don't mind them".
This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you an idea of what I mean when I say that Nigerians did not just start watching foreign football in the year 2000.
Olodo.. as long as it is asphaltic pavement, you will need to do periodic and routine maintenance. The 15 years you are talking about is when the asphalt is about to crumble/expire. By then, you need to overhaul/scarify the asphaltic pavement and overlay with another asphalt.
franchasofficia: We have done an in-house collation using original signed polling unit results and Peter Obi won the below states with very wide margin:
Rivers State Lagos state (the margin was suppressed) Plateau Bayelsa Benue Imo (suppressed) Ebonyi (suppressed)
and Peter Obi got over 25% of total votes cast in:
Ekiti Ondo Sokoto Borno Bauchi Adamawa Oyo Ogun Kogi Kaduna
Even if APC controlled INEC and Judiciary decides to foist APC candidate on Nigerians just because they hold the power, the world must know that Peter Obi won and got robbed, this is for posterity and for reference purposes.
You listed 17 states. Obi won with 17 states? What are you smoking please?
Op.. tell her and "insist" on relocating to Nigeria after you wed to see her reaction.
humility101: I met this lovely lady (30 yo) online 2 months ago. She is in Nigeria and I’m in the Uk. We have been actively chatting, phoning and having lots of facetime. She’s got all they qualities I need in a wife. She has also gone to see my peeps once and they said nice things about her.
I’m planning on wedding her this Christmas and she can join me immediately (UK can be very lonely without a partner) on a dependent visa.
But sometimes I pause and ask myself, I hope I’m not rushing this whole thing? I hope she is not pretending to be nice? I hope she truly loves me? I hope she is not seeing me as a means to japa? A lot of questions going through my mind. This is marriage and I don’t wanna make mistakes.
Nairaland should pull this down. This is fake news. Please stop spreading lies. When I saw this, the first thing I did was to double check the facts before reacting @seun
1. Hold on to your appointment letter for now. It can be corrected if they know what they are doing.
2. If it has not been changed, no matter what happens, DONT WRITE AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER. They can use it against you if they want to be wicked.
3. All the best.
usman3688: Hello everyone, please I need your opinion on this issues. I got an employment letter for federal government job I interviewed for last year. During the interview the panel actually told me I am way too qualified for the position they are interviewing me for to which I replied them I will take the offer as long as I can progress and grow through the ranks and they told me that they loved my reply that that was what they were expecting me to say.
Today, I received a mail containing my appointment letter and I see the gave me grade level 3 step 2. Although it is a newly commissioned government agency and I am a university graduate with about 5 years work experience. Now I am confused with the grade level I am being offered.
Secondary, I currently have another appointment letter with a private company lacated in the north east, the salary is good with allowance and the working condition is not so bad, I would have loved to take that offer but the location is not favorable to me as my family is scattered between the north west and south west so going to the north east to work will be a difficult thing for me.
I'll be glad if I could get your opinions on this, I don't know how much the Government job would pay yet.
Buy books for him on various subjects, compel him to read to them and also make sure you read them. Then you can have discussions about the books you read.
cynosuree: Good morning. This issue has been bothering me for a long time, and I feel like it's too sensitive to ask for second opinions from people I know so I figured I'd maybe ask some strangers on the internet.
I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months now and he's everything I ever wanted in a man. Physically, he's gorgeous, and he also loves me alot. He's kind, he's patient, communicates effectively and all. You know, all the good stuff.
But here's the problem, he cannot hold a conversation beyond "what are you doing" , "what did you eat" (and all that boring stuff) to save his life. I'm not even talking about intellectual conversations like quantum theory or anything, normal conversations about stuff that's happening around the world or around us. Anytime we try to, it usually fails spectacularly. He either ends up missing the ENTIRE point and saying something totally unrelated, or he just waits for me to say what I think so he can go "Yeeaaaa that's true" , leaving me really pissed.
He has absolutely NOTHING intelligent to contribute to any serious conversation, and this hurts me alot because it is a HUGE turn off and I'm slowly losing interest in him. It's a very tricky situation because he does/did well academically, he graduated with very good grades but that's about it...nothing more. I didn't notice it at first - before we started dating, or I would never have dated him because it is a deal breaker for me.
I have considered telling him but I don't exactly know how to approach the conversation without being rude/insensitive, I know telling him would really hurt him and I don't want that. I've also thought about learning how to live with it, because no one is perfect right? Maybe I'm asking for too much?
The latter option is what I've been doing and it's gradually killing me. I fear that I'll fall out of love completely with him and end up hating myself for ruining a good thing, because he's a really good guy .
Hey Bro move. If u are in doubt, apply for study without pay (you can get up to 2 or 3 years) then come back if you are not contented. But I believe going there will worth it than staying here.
I will be 30 years in a few months and I have never felt so much unease as I do right now. I work with one of the federal parastatals and I am currently on level 10 going to 12 next year. I have a Master degree athough it is not exactly relevant to my current job.
The problem is that my organisation uses the Ministry salary structure and my monthly net is below 80k even as a level 10 staff.
I am not married and I am academically inclined. Asides having a Master degree, I have over 8 professional certifications.
I have been trying to clinch a transfer of service to a better parastatal where the remuneration is better and where my knowledge/experiences as a science graduate will be better appreciated but it has been a bit difficult.
However, just before the COVID-19 episode in Nigeria, I got the right link for a transfer of service to a better parastatal but the process got stalled with the COVID-19 palaver.
I have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens and they have been on my neck to migrate. I never took the calls seriously until this lockdown period. My siblings are arguing about the uncertainty of the Nigerian economy post-covid and advising me to seize this opportunity to migrate and start a new career over there?
My question therefore, "is it wise to stay back since I have gone quite far in my public service career and just wait for the opportunity to transfer my service to a better paying federal parastatal OR do I migrate to Canada and start a new career?
Your honest inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
@CrazyMan @1forall Please I need your help in pushing this forward for a wider view. Thank you.
Send an anonymous/random person to the woman. The person will explain, give all the details and walk away.
Abbeylanre15: I work in finance company and I'm in charge of all accounts. All monies are been remitted to me. The M.D of this organization is such a generous but uneducated woman. My colleagues are leveraging on this to siphon organization's funds to their various pockets. I'm not oblivious of this fact because I'm so sensitive to things around me,but I am d God fearing type that won't participate in such a dirty act. I've called majority of those in this illicit act privately to warn them and let them know the implications. But to my utmost surprise, the bull-shit keep getting high and d MD is not the type to tell such hidden things, she will reveal the identity of her Intel. The problem now is that,if this act persist,the company may go bankrupt sooner than later. Even though,the job is not worth dying for,half bread they said it's better than none. I can't afford to be jobless. Please advise me on what to do?
NB: I'VE SUBMITTED APPLICATION TO OTHER COMPANIES BUT NO RESULT YET.
