Tanzania remove Nigeria from Referred Visa Category
The decline continues... Even Tanzania.
As a young independent country, Nigeria and a few other countries sponsored Tanzania's application as 104th UN member.
In 1964, Nigeria sent its soldiers to quell military mutiny in Dar es Salaam, replacing British troops.

Oga, try and go back to school. This is a positive development. Do you know what "referred visa" means?

If it can be established through the stamped page of the passport that he was not in Nigeria truly on the said day, then it is obvious the other parties are lying and trying to frame up the boy. If that is the case, it will be very unfortunate. Even at that, it is all wrong and illegal to try to bride the son of a Federal Minister with the sum of $2.1million to acquire land in the FCT. I am not a lawyer but I think the court should not even assume jurisdiction over any fallout from an illegal contractual agreement.

The Police should actually do a proper investigation and charge whoever is at fault for criminal offense.

This is a clear case of money laundering. How is the EFCC not even after the so-called company representatives? However, it will be interesting if a video pops up to support the plaintiff's claims.

Airbus for me is the plane for modern aviation. Flew on one of their aircraft on Virgin's fleet. It was a fabulous experience.

Everybody blaming pitch. The same pitch the other team is scoring freely.

What's happening to them?

Ghana has thrown away a 2-goal lead and are now trailing 2-3 against Gambia. This is after losing 2-0 to CIV. If they lose, that's 0 points from 2 matches.

Very appalling what we are seeing in Nigerian and Ghanaian football.

Do girls from your tribe inherit land and houses from their late fathers?If yes what happens to the property when she gets married and starts bearing another man's name?

oga, the Supreme Court has already ruled on this matter since 2014. Even a girl child born out of wedlock can claim her share of her father's property once paternity is proven.

I have female kids and their inheritance is as secure as day and night follow each other.

There is already a Supreme Court judgement to this effect (Ukeje v Ukeje, 2014) in which the lead judge Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour (yes, the uncle to LP guber aspirant in 2023) ruled that no matter the circumstances of a female child's birth, she is fully entitled to an inheritance from her late father's estate.

The Court declared that traditional Igbo customary laws disinheriting female offspring violate Section 42(1) and (2) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, which prohibits discrimination based on gender or circumstances of birth. It applies to both movable and immovable (land, buildings, etc) property, even where there is no will.

Anyone who denies a female child inheritance on the basis of gender is breaking the law and it carries a 4 year prison sentence, a N200,000 fine or both (Anambra). Some states have heftier prison sentences.

Some people will come out to say English is not their language. As if their langauge is internationally spoken.

Speak your language with your children, relations, kinsmen and on the street. But when you come to an international setting, you must use the language of international work, which is English. Depending on other locations or job requirements, you will need an additional language.

If you work in MENA, speak Arabic.
If you are targeting the Cyprus financial services space, you must speak Russian.
Business in Asia, Mandarin is almost a given as it is spoken in China, Malaysia, Singapore and a modified version (Cantonese) in Hong Kong.

That "English is not my language" is a sign of absolute mediocrity. If you are Nigerian, a country with 525 languages and you can only speak your language and you come to the open and be boasting about being a monolingual person in a mutlilingual society, then you are a fool. You should be speaking at least three or 4 languages like some of us.

This is someone who was in the opposition before o. He has experienced dictatorship and abuse of people's rights and was once a victim of rights violations. Now that he has tasted power, he wants to become a dictator himself. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Mobutu showed his father Etienne Tshisekedi shege pro max.

These children never learn.

The 1996 loss of Shooting Stars (3SC) to Zamalek in Cairo was the most painful final match. 😭

.. a very painful loss I can never forget

That of 1984 was very very painful.

The so-called premiumization is funded mostly from proceeds of corruption at all levels.

On this forum, someone said the police seized his car for changing the colour and are demanding N250,000 for the release of his vehicle despite having a police extract as to the reason for the colour change.

You go to a ministry. There are demands at various offices for some form of inducement. Just to look for my late relation's file, we were asked to pay a certain guy who would brave the dust to look through the archives the whole day for it.

You just go somewhere. A gateman is hailing you like you are an oba. At the airport, the cleaners are enthusiastically handing you tissue, almost wanting to stuff it in your face just so you produce some money. I remember one policeman who was following me around and doing this hailing openly in the airport and had to ask him to stop embarrassing himself and the uniform.

You go to the post office. A worker says if you have a foreign package, you should meet her somewhere after work so you can split the money you were supposed to use to pay customs duty with her.

You go to the filling station. Oh my...those ones are trained thieves.

You go the cargo hub of a major transporter. Everyone is just trying to corner the business from the office.

Let us not go to the Yahoo boys, who have police, some pastors and imams/alfas and native doctors on their payroll to perpetuate evil against others, especially vulnerable elderly people. Then when they hit and collect, they spend millions in clubs and say they made a breakthrough.

Go to any length and breadth of the society. The same stories everywhere. If not why will a house on a street with no drainage be going for one million dollars? Who are the buyers and where are they getting their money from.

Hello nairalanders, about 6 days ago i re-sprayed my car from dark blue to white. I told the guy that normally does my car papers for me and he asked me to do an affifavid and police report, which i paid him to do.

Yesterday i was driving and the police stopped me, i showed them my complete documents and the affifavid and police report too of the "change of colour I did"

That was when he initially noticed that i have changed the car colour, he called his colleagues that are around and stopping other cars ny by the other side of the road and they took my car to the station, that the affifavid and police report that i did isn't enough to back the change of colour that i did. Please is it really possible and true that the affifavid and police report isn't enough to back up the change of colour that i did? My car is still at the station at the moment, i don't have the 250k they're requesting to bail the car, i have been pleading for 100k but they refused.

Get a lawyer.

Please o my people, let me call myself a JJC here, I've lived in this apartment for a while now , just over 3 years to be precise, my landlord died recently, but while he was alive even though he was a bit strict, he was understanding and liberal in most of his expectations from us the tenants. Now the son in charge of the he house is something more or less a tyrant, I said so because our gate that has been broken for a while now, the young man said that it's we the tenants that should be responsible for the repairs, that the law of the land says so.... That that's what the law Court syipulates.... So I'm asking, is that true? There may be someone in the house who may know about this so well.

Inside the house, tenant. Outside stuff (like boreholes) or structural stuff, landlord.

One of the most irritating things on this site are the people that defend subsidy retention. It's like they have forgotten how messed up the last 4-5 decades were for our domestic refining.

It's like people do not understand how a subsidy works. Because of the volaitilty of the oil market it means that prices would always vary from time to time, usually on the upward trend, and the fact that all the oil rigs and refineries are built abroad, and assembled here in nigeria or transported to nigeria to be assembled on site...makes the process of refining fuel expensive.

So, with that in mind, refining fuel is going to be expensive, meaning that at the end, when government has budgeted a sum for subsidy, it would have to add more money for the subsidy by borrowing. Inevitably, the borrowing is not going to be enough, so the government has to choose between refinery upkeep and subsidised fuel, and usually it is the latter. That is the story of how we lost four refineries. And why corruption is a big issue.

But telling people this on this site means that you are a tinubu supporter, and hate the masses.

I mean, something that is simple economic sense, means you support tinubu. Make it make sense. So, in 2012, I was a gej supporter when I supported subsidy removal? I mean, you can support neither gej or tinubu, and i do not support either of them or even atiku self, I am backing obi because he at least talks about reinvesting subsidy savings in needy people, not brining it back.

The even more ignorant ones would shout subsidy is done in other countries...and when you tell them that those countries pay massive tax and are running diversifed economies to fund the subsidy, dem go shout 'we are poor'...

Honestly, on this site, people, even those who should know better, revel in their ignornance, or are far more interested in pushing their candidate, rather than discussing and accepting sane economics. And yes, most people are suffering...I am even suffering under this economy, but I am not going to support something, even if it is my own candidate, even if na may person that says subsidy should come back...that would put debt burden on us, destroy our productive capacity, and render millions jobless because we must have cheap fuel, and worsen my suffering to the point that I would be saying tinubu time was good time..bleargh.


Like see this SDP candidate? Fuel at N200 is going to cost our budget N54 trillion naira. Our budget this year is 68 trillion naira. Where the eff is he going to get the money? Is he going to borrow?

The subsidy regime worked until Abacha killed all the refineries so his daughter could bring in fuel from Brazil. I was actively dealing kero in the 90s. We knew what happened. Some of you just make comments about things you do not know anything about.

We should have kept this secret.

Now the world powers will come back for more land grabbing.

How is being a professor in 30's achievement? Anyone who is on a pure academic track should be finishing their Ph.D in their late 20's to early 30's. After that, a branch: Either academic life(track to professorship) or private sector. Those Ph.D's that became professors in their 30's did it so that they can have a "Prof." prefix attached to their names, not because they achieved something particularly noteworthy in the world of Ph.D holders.

This is because the move from Assistant Lecturer to Professorship, with 3 years before being eligible for the next steps in between, takes at least 15 years, making it almost chronologically impossible. Some universities reward lecturers who are very prolific in writing or publications with accelerated promotions.

They were opportunists and interlopers who thought they were important. Before PO entered Labour Party, who knew them?

He is supposed to stand up for the student. Not ask him to sit on his lap and be rubbing his thighs. Haba!

A coach wey no see work for the whole of Sweden na him una won go carry

This is the man who built the Super Falcons. Their last victory was basically his team that Madugu inherited. Just like Arne Slot, when the time came for the pot-bellied coach to prove himself with his own team, his lack of capacity showed.

For the first time ever, Super Falcons are not in the world cup.

According to Shabba Ranks' 1990 song "wicked inna bed"..,

Inna fi mi bed mi don’t waan Alfred
Don’t waan Tony, mi don’t waan Ted
Mi nah promote maama man, all maama man fi dead
Bam bam, lick a shot inna a maama man head

Maama men or batty boys are disgusting in every way to sane-minded people. Imagine going to a filling station and asking the attendant to pump fuel in your exhaust. No be to commit that person to mental hospital be dat?

Pastor Kumuyi had a TV program which used to show on Sundays at 3.30pm on one of the NTA stations in 1983/1984. I actually watched them as a kid.

This is all a realignment of interests.

The woman is a thick head.

Sarah called Abraham "lord'. God is the head of the man, husband head of the woman.

Where did this nonsense of kneeling before a pastor start? I never saw this growing up.

RIP Peter Cullen. Thanks for making our childhood a memorable one.

PremiumLeaks:
I get your point but the point is there should also be stiff penalties too for making false claims if not men will be on "Go-Pro mode Always" like Peller so they can have evidence to save their necks!

Nothing healthy in living life that way!

A good example:
Amber heard accused Depp of Domestic abuse+
Depp sued her for 5Mili
Amber counter-sued for 10mili

They went to trial and Amber's story wasn't adding up. Amber was asked to pay Depp 1mili.

Let's imagine Depp was convicted on that false accusation, he will go to jail and lose everything but there was Amber made to pay Depp ONLY a mili after she was found out..how now?

Hope U get my point?

Depp still lost his acting career completely. Got kicked out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise too. He lost everything.

Stay away from women and avoid problem.

The kind of women I beheld in Barbados were as if they were dropped from heaven as tear rubber. But I just kept away from them and had a wonderful stay there without problems.

Even when I lived in Cotonou, a Naija guy was jailed after he slept with an olosho and the girl reported him for rape. Apparently there was a dispute over fees payable. When asked by the police to produce evidence of text messages and a Momo transaction alert confirming the encounter was transactional, he could not. He thought Benin under President Talon was the same environment as the lawless country he came from. Na so dem charge am to court send am go prison for rape instanta.

Congrats Anthony. His consistency as a PDP supporter all these years has finally been rewarded. Very erudite and articulate fellow. It was always a pleasure listening to him on radio.

Modele Sarafa-Yusuf, was born in Ibadan into the family of Alhaji Buhari Osinaike, a public servant in the old Western Region and Ogun State and Alhaja Sifawu Osinaike a textile merchant.

She attended the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) where she obtained a Bachelor of Education degree in English in 1986.
She later obtained a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos in 2002.

In 1987 she did her NYSC with NTA Ibadan and was retained by the station afterwards. She was later posted to NTA Headquarters in Lagos.

The first time I saw her was in 1990 when she co-anchored the NTA's coverage of the 1990 Commonwealth Games (in Auckland, New Zealand) with Mainasara Ilo.

She was a noted sportscaster on the NTA for many years and she is viewed as a pioneering female sportscaster.

I was returning home around 6 o'clock one evening in 1993 when I saw smoking coming from Independence Building. As I got home I saw a special breaking news bulletin on the NTA. Modele Sarafa-Yusuf had been passing by when she saw that the building was on fire and she made a special report for NTA News.

She joined Globacom as head of sponsorship in 2004 and contributed to projects such as the Glo-CAF Awards. She also led other projects such as The Lagos International Half Marathon, The Glo-Premier League in Nigeria and Ghana, and the first-in-Africa relationship with Manchester United Football Club.

In 2013 she became the head of marketing at Atiku Abubakar's American University in Nigeria.

She then set up Formart Multi Services Nig. Ltd, a marketing company.

She presented View From The Top, an interview programme on Channels Television and it ran for several seasons in the 2010s.

As Head of Lagos Operations in Arise News, Sarafa-Yusuf helped to transition the former London-based world news channel to an Afrocentric channel with a Nigerian DNA; helped recruit on-air and back-end personnel and worked with anchors, reporters, and producers on ways to make the newscast more appealing. In addition, she coached the anchors on vocal delivery, ad-lib skills, posture, and pacing.

In 2018 she joined Dapo Abiodun's campaign team as director of media and publicity.

On July 9, 2019 she was appointed the Special Adviser on Information, Strategy, and Communication to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun.

She resigned from government ahead of the 2023 elections and announced her intention to contest the APC Ogun State governorship primaries (against her former boss).

However, she did not get the ticket (Governor Abiodun won) and she began sharing anti-APC tweets after she lost the primaries. In fact, she was sharing tweets in support of Mr Peter Obi.

She stayed in the APC and tried again to get the APC governorship ticket in the 2026 primaries, but she lost to Senator Solomon Adeola.

She has now announced her resignation from the party.

You need to see her when she was younger in the 90s. Classy babe back then. Well, father Time catches up with us all.

You did not read where it said both husband and friend are sterile? Complete lack of sperm.
