TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Ssalk: 10:57pm On Apr 19, 2018

Just in the space of two months three of my friend who are very very comfortable in Nigeria were all refuse Visa. Just today my cousin was deny Visa as well, below is his transcript.

Vo. Passport pls

Just what happened to me. I discovered the girl I was planning Marriage with has a daughter and keep it from me. It was so painful but to be honest I called the marriage off. But maybe I would have handle the situation more maturely if it was now, however I would advise you find out more things about the guy then make your own decision and remember No one is perfect.

abiolamitodun:
Why are men scared of getting married and why is the number of baby mama increasing
let's discuss
My dear Marriage is not for the faint heart. Men are afraid of marriage cos your responsibility increases the moment you marry, you learn to compromise on some things, you must have patient, tolerance and endurance for the marriage to work. Above all, the fear of divorce is why people just choose not to marry.

PoliticsRe: Dino Melaye Plagiarized Richard Buckminster Without Credit by Ssalk: 10:18am On Apr 03, 2018
@op. Yes he plagiarised it by paraphrasing the whole quote but better than our president on his swearing in. By the way do people even know what is plagarism or if it's serious offence in this part of the world? I doubt. I remember when I was doing my master in the US I scored 10 over 100 in my first course cos I thought I was still in Nigeria. They gave me serious warning and I had to learn it in hard way. Always give credit to the author.

If I was your external examiner, I will shred you on the day of your defence. Nigeria is and has been ripe for online business. We have a working, cheap and reliable postal system (NIPOST), sellers don't use them, we need to ask them why. We have several overland transporters who carry goods in addition to passengers for a small fee. On the other hand buyers do not get the options they want in their local markets hence the need for online retail business and the varied options it provides.

A marketplace like the one I stand behind that puts buyers needs first, thereby building trust while ensuring sellers stay on their toes to keep their customers happy is exactly what is needed. Just like ebay but designed for Nigerians and the peculiarities in the Nigerian online marketplace.
Timely delivery of goods is one of the key element in online retail business so Nipost might not work effectively in this. No matter how cheap land transport might be, you still can't compare it with railway system to sustain the sector for long term growth.
The online market place in Nigeria is a hostile one that both the sellers and buyers don't seems to get it right due so some certain factors . Lastly, research is about making argument why you feel your current work will contribute better than the previous work in the chosen field. So criticism is part of the work. Thanks.
BusinessRe: Jumia’s Major Investor, Rocket Internet, Seeks Exit Via IPO by Ssalk: 8:31am On Mar 26, 2018
Wow.... As if I knew. My Ph.D research proposal is on Achieving sustainable E-commerce and retail business in Nigeria. (Problem and Prospect). Jumia, konga and dealdey all included in the research.

The honest truth is, the Nigeria climate is not conducive enough for online retail business. It is cheaper to move goods via railway system than roads and air but no good railway network in the country.
Again, there is low penetration of credit system in the country, we only used debit card. Lastly , these online companies like Jumia and co don't put their time to creat any innovative idea to deal with these setbacks. Rather they are only concern about making profits.

My research is gonna be interesting.

PoliticsRe: Reasons Why You Should Support Pres. Buhari For Not Assenting To PeaceCorps Bill by Ssalk: 3:13pm On Mar 01, 2018
khalidx:
The latest news in town now is president buhari denying his assent to the Peace Corps bill, it was greeted with mixed reaction from the general public.



but One thing I have noticed is that those who accepted that i was in the best interest of the country are more than the opposing side...

3) overzealous and corruption we all know how our police, Army and other Armed Forces misuse power in the past and even presently, an NGO who is just starting it course is already hood winking gullible Nigerians,collecting money from volunteers.
What will be our faith. In the street you will see a Peace Corps volunteer asking you do you know me?? All those doesn't make sense.. instead of another para-millitary why can't we channel the resources to our police who is over stressed and better equip them with modern wares..
I agree with the op most especially on the third reason. 2weeks a go I went to Benin my home state i didn’t drive cos of the road so a younger cousin picked me up at the airport. On getting to somewhere around the center city we met Road Safety officer. And the officer as for vehicle particulars and drivers license which to me is normal. But my cousin flared up is that how you should stop your fellow officer? I turned and look at him in my mind I was like officer ? Which officer is his my cousin I don’t know off. Then there was a heated argument blw him and the Frsc officer and other officers joined in. My cousin told them espirit de Corps but they wanted to know if he is a police or Civil defense or any other just identity. Could u believe this boy got angry again then I interven o boy identify yourself and moreover if u don’t have those things they requested we talk to them with ease my cousin refused . Then they scan the vehicle and found out the car papers expired, no license with him, no extinguisher too many offenses. Suddenly my cousin said I am Peacecorp officer and you have no right to impound your fellow officer vehicle. Then immediately one Frsc replied , you people are still standing with one leg what if the two leg complete is this how Peacecorp will be misbehaving? Even me self come weak. To cut the long story short, my cousin car ended up in Frsc office. But I feel for them sha.

Buhari government is the most corrupt but what he is doing Is, unlike pdp time where everybody including politicians and some opposition have access to money, but this government is starving opposition and everybody off and enriching all there caucuses so that the opposition will not have funds to run things. It is part of their strategy cos we all know politics in Nigeria is how much you have to spend. Don’t be surprised if INEC come out that all the election materials has been eaten by Daura Elephant after all we are now in animal kingdom.

Since the launch of TSTV and their data bundles,it's like the whole company has gone undercover.
any new intel from TSTV?
I was in my friend club last Friday chilling at the vip section and we were giving my friend welcome party for successfully completing his PHD in America. Suddenly some group of media people came to cover the event and some were from TSTv in my mind I say I don catch una today. They introduced themselves and one lady who is a top shot in tstv led the group. After sometimes I excused the lady and ask her straight. What is going on with tstv? Why do u people fail us like this? Why are you me only active in Facebook and Twitter? . She was stunned and her response was, they never expected such a high demand and instead of them not meeting up the demand and other services they decided to hold back for now while working on it at the background. She said tstv will soon come out in full force and that some people wanted to sabotage them but they are on track. I just looked her and wanted to collect her cup she is using to drink the Hennessy we bought cos her answer was unconvincing. So my people tstv is a thing of the past.

One good thing about this place is that you get different opinion then make decision from them. My friend went to the embassy and they didn’t detect his past and they never ask anything relating to that. And was granted the visa.
