Good morning dear Nairalanders,

Thank you for being there in the past with your timely advise(s). I am here again just to get some more on a case.

I have a girlfriend which I plan getting married to as both families are all involved. My girlfriend has had a bad past. She was once abused and all but then I was able to help shape her when I got into her life. I have been there for her in my own little way but lately, she has not been behaving too well and I am not happy about that fact.I will itemize these:

1. She once borrowed her friend her school fees to rent an apartment with the promise the friend was going to pay her back before exams started. Her friend failed to pay her back and I had to provide her with the money in order not to miss her exams. Note, the said friend is a female.

2. Second semester, her pops gave her school fees which I saw the alert. Yea,she travelled down to see me from Lag and she spent some but then I told her she would not have spent her school fees to come see me. Infact at that time I never knew she was going to come because I was sick but she did. So I told her not to touch her school fees again that I was going to refund her the money. She left and I refunded. I paid her flight back to Lagos.

I later found out my girlfriend didn’t pay that school fees. She spent it and when it was time to pay she kept complaining. I was mad at her wondering what she must have used it for. I scolded her and gave her part of the money.(N100k)

3. I have paid several debts for her as she made some mistakes in her online business and was swindled. The most recent one now, she went to get loans from apps online. I don’t even know what would have made her do that as I try assist her when she’s in need. I have warned her severally against borrowing but she went to borrow and now she’s into debt.

I have asked what she used the money for but she can’t even point to one thing. She said she used the initial loan for her personal needs and when she couldn’t pay back, she had to borrow from another app to pay and all. That’s how she kept borrowing to pay another till she borrowed from over 15 loan apps and her debt is running into 350k as at today.

I honestly can’t pay such an amount as I have my own personal problems to carry. I was mad because in the past I have warned her against borrowing and all. Now she’s in trouble and they’ve been threatening her to pay back.

I have told her I don’t have such monies to pay back and even if I had I won’t pay back. I have advised she talk to her parents and siblings about it but she has been scared. I have that money but I can’t pay back as I have more pressing needs to attend to. Since she has refused to tell her parents, I am thinking of telling her parents. I am very close to her family.

This is someone I wanna get married to but with all I’m seeing, I am already having doubts.

She’s from a very good home. Deep down, I love her and she does too. But why these problems, I don’t understand.

Please I seek your advice on how to handle this as I can’t pay such debts. I have done several in the past

Thanks

My guy, all na format. Those are deliberate. The way different fraud tricks comes out that's how ladies comes with new tricks especially with technology.
I've met five girls within a space of two weeks. 3 don't have Android phone. 2 had phones and two weeks we knew each other they came up with excuse that they entered one chance and their phone was taken and that you should help them with money. They'll tell you they're chatting with their mummy's phone or their friends phone. They'll send you a screenshot chat conversation they planned with their friends to make it look real. If you're emotional, you'll fall for it. They're basically feeding the emotional part of you to milk you.

Aside from the above, your girlfriend could maybe be possessed by marine spirit �

That signage should be erected and left the way it is with a fence around it to remind the people of lagos of colonialism

Oh, ok. I'm not sure that's the plan. The signage is long overdue for change

U remember when Lugard unveiled this ,? U are a LIVING DEAD/WALKING CORPSE .No offense but lie with dignity

Oga, You too serious. You're a walking dead/living corpse.

Is it not high time this road signage is changed, really? I remember when Lord Lugard unveiled the signage, it was fanfare and merryment.

Please forward to Ikoyi-Obalende LG Chairman.

Now that Yahoo+ (ritualist) boys are bold enough to display in public their sacrifice instructions: defecating in public and eating the shit with bread, bathing naked in public and other bizarre display...

Is it not high time we start gather and beat them when we see them displaying in public. Beat them to reset! If we no gather and beat them the trend go continue.

UNN medical student that was reportedly expelled for twerking,  known as Mirabel Obi has spoken out as she shares real video of the twerking that landed her in trouble...sleekgist.com

She wrote:

" It is no news that a female UNN student was expelled from UNN after supposedly stripping to win 10k in a dance competition.
Well, I am that student. Normally I would let this slide because I am not clout chasing and I owe no one an explanation, but, am tired of seeing different fake news on the story and at this moment, I feel it is pertinent to address this issue publicly. This is the real story behind it all.
My name is Mirabel, a medical student of UNN. On the 28th, October 2021, there was an awareness for a concert in the school. Awareness is what people do almost everytime and what comes with it is usually a dance competition and that day, we were competing for 30k. I happened to be one of the contenders. I have watched a lot of girls compete in the past and what they wore....See full post here: https://sleekgist.com/i-was-not-expelled-for-dancing-naked-unn-medical-student-that-was-reportedly-expelled-for-twerking-speaks-out/

That's why I hardly defend some girls, especially when it's social media related. Look at the kind of excuse she gave for going that mile she went. "I have watched a lot of girls compete in the past and what they wore." Even the girls condemning Her will still do same thing in another bizarre way. You'll be amazed!

Kirkman:
But seriously if you have the funds to visit another African country kindly do so; you will thank yourself later for it.

True. I can't wait. I'm trusting God for provisions.

Yes, the Lord is good but you are still a failed musician. You can't even make a member of your church choir.

This dundi united is actually a church boy! The Lord is good all the time.

MufasaLion:
Bloody jester. Maybe you should go and meet Sinach for tips on gospel music since you failed woefully in the secular but I doubt you would still make it in that too.

You're fvcking bitter!

Oh this akara listens to Sinach. The Lord is good all the time.

It is either someone other than David Adeleke is doing something diabolical.

Or It could also be the high rate of drug consumption without adequate healthy feeding pattern and medical care.

Interesting can someone be able to receive money into his flutterwave account from another PayPal account?

Yes, sure. You can visit https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/15/flutterwave-and-paypal-partner-to-allow-african-merchants-to-accept-and-make-payments/

Limassol:
How about we compare apples to apples in this case Nigeria vs Brazil?

May God annoint your wishful thinking, my brother. Rest in self distruct. Pls don't use your innocent friends and family as collateral damage, so ti gbo?

1Sharon:
Lol why are non religious countries more advanced?

You guys always point abroad "developed countries" as your defense and when you get there you'll be profiled and be crying, racist up and dan. Your defense has become a cliche, my dear

LordReed:
Better to act good as a self defense mechanism than to be nasty in the name of your god.

My friend put a cap in the "G" when you're referencing God your creator. be humble

1Sharon:
Lol why are non religious countries more advanced?

That's the problem with we Nigerians. We always compare two unequals. Comparing America and Nigeria! Instead compare Nigeria with Ghana.

LordReed:
Why do people like you think atheists all want to become gay? Is that what you were told in your church or mosque?

Nobody needs to tell me. Comon sense should. Find yourself for abroad, levels go metamorphose. Seek God my guys. Stop been argumentative.

1Sharon:
How has "seeking god" helped Nigeria?

You should ask, how has Nigeria not gotten deteriorated more than this? That's what you should ask. As fragile as Nigeria is.

Nigerians can now receive payment via FlutterWave.

Just last year 2020, PayPal‘s 377 million+ users made transactions that saw PayPal end the year with a $936 billion total payment volume for the year 2020. This trillion dollar opportunity didn’t include most African businesses until this new integration between Flutterwave and PayPal.

Teniola, a Nigerian-born U.K resident has friends all over Africa. She’d like to surprise them with gifts, ranging from paying for their Uber to buying them flowers but while she can easily stay in contact with them on social media all day long, paying businesses is a different story.

Jake in the U.S has always wanted to buy authentic African fabrics, art etc and discovering the creators on the internet has proven very easy but paying them is an entirely different story.

There are millions of Teniolas and Jakes that couldn’t easily pay African businesses. That’s the opportunity that has just been made available to everyday African businesses. Mwangi in Kenya can now sell to the world. The possibilities are endless if we do say so ourselves.

Flutterwave merchants in Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius, Malawi, Mozambique & Senegal are able to easily accept payments from PayPal users worldwide.

What do you have to do to gain access to PayPal’s 377 million+ customers?
Well, not a lot tbh.

First, make sure you’re a registered business on Flutterwave. If you aren’t, click here to register right now. Follow the prompt to complete your registration.

Next, go into your dashboard, and follow these instructions on how to enable a payment method. Select PayPal from the list and that’s all.

PayPal will then be displayed as an option on your checkout and your customers can checkout using that option.

It’s never been easier to gain access to over 377 million potential customers.

How does a PayPal user pay a Flutterwave merchant?
As a PayPal user, it’s pretty much a familiar flow. On a Flutterwave merchant’s checkout page, look out for the “Pay with PayPal” option.

Click the “Pay with PayPal” button, and follow the prompt as it redirects you to your PayPal account to complete your payment as usual.

That’s it. After the payment, you’re automatically redirected to the merchant’s checkout page as payment is confirmed on the modal.

We know you might still have some questions so let’s answer some of them:
What are the transaction fees?
PayPal transaction fees of 4.4% of the transaction value + $0.30 per transaction apply.

Lol . I dated him because;

1. Dude spoke my love languages without me ever revealing what they were - the thing bust my head die

2. He had class, great taste and a strong sense of responsibility towards self and family I admired - he still does.

3. He was older and mature, I actually like my men older than me. Like fine wine, men get better with age is not a myth at all. Younger men or the ones in my age group are in the habit of sending photos of their peepee, calling you baby or sweetheart within a short time of meeting you, it's a huge turn off and there was none of that with him.

4. We could carry on delightful conversations via chats and in person, he never texted in short hand (another thing that tripped me to pieces) our conversations were meaningful, they had depth and substance.

5. I'm a health and fitness conscious person, I liked that at his age he was trim, fit and healthy not to mention good looking and he worked out every week. It was easy to get him the ideal valentine gift last year.

6. Our first date was so cool. We did a movie @ the cinema, sat down to a light meal of pizza/ drinks afterwards and gisted for 2 hours just getting to know ourselves.

Please tell me, how could I not have dated this man? Atheist or not? I decided a long time ago that I was never going to deny myself the company of good a man, simply because a relationship won't lead to marriage.

Just answering your question has me thinking of him and all my memories of him are pleasant. It's his birthday April 1, I think I'm going to have a surprise gift delivered to him, even though we drifted apart and haven't spoken to each other for a while, I like this guy. Have I satisfied your amebo curiosity?

Don't be deceived, this people know they'll be prejudiced so they'll be acting utterly good (as a self defense) in antecepation. That's just a gimmick my dear. They're only good at antecepating argument - baseless arguments of course, and finding their fellow atey to support them. God will deliver them when he gets their time

KanwuliaExtra:
No problem. I prefer them frankly-speaking.
I can’t date or marry a Christian or Muslim either.

Toooo “local”-minded.

All that their “doom and gloom” prophesy don taya me abeg.

If you dey go church or mosque, I beg dress comot from my side. Extremely allergic to those 2 retrogressive-minded groups of people. Dem moo-monism pass sheep own I swear. Always reasoning like dunces!

Lol I laugh you. How clever or intelligent are you? Because you don't worship God now makes your village people "my my" and "local"? The next thing that's in line with you is to become gay? Seek God my guy/babe. Don't let strong willed people deceive you. Them go sell market, na you go buy am. When them catch you. Them go use their mouth bail themselves. Na you go become victim. Be wise. Leave all this social media dumbos. Look up to God. He's waiting for you.

sisisioge:
Like what? He laughs heartily, he is nice to humans around him, he treats you nicely, he has a super beautiful mind, he knows how to kiss & touch you, he respects you, he loves his family, he is hardworking....wetin remain? While it is beautiful to hold hands and pray together, sometimes all these InoBelieve peeps have better hearts than the believers. May God help us jare.


Meanwhile why did you date

FCMBIssues:
Good Day Nairalanders,

I’m a Blogger and Google Publisher. I’m here to Report my Issue with FCMB Bank.

On The 21st of this Month (December 2020), A Payment was sent to me by Google Ireland Limited just as they do every month Since this Year Started. The Payment was sent into my FCMB Bank- same Bank I’ve been using to receive all my Advert Payment From Google and Other Companies, but this time Around FCMB is refusing to Credit my Funds which was sent in by Google and I want to use this medium to WARN People about Transacting with FCMB Bank (Mostly International Money Transactions).

My Story goes as thus:
On The 21st of This Month Google Sent $2,685.38 USD to my FCMB Bank Account (The Same which they have been sending to every month and I’ve been getting credit – without issues).

22nd of December: I called FCMB Headquarters via this Phone Number: 012798800 and informed them about the incoming WIRE Transfer from Google Ireland; I mailed the Payment Receipt send to me by Google to them (via: customerservice@fcmb.com) and FCMB Bank’s Customer Service Rep who Picked up my Call and Logged my Transaction responded to me as thus: “I have Logged your Incoming Transaction, Be rest assured that FCMB will credit you once we confirm we have the corresponding Inflow…. Please, expect an update within the Next 24 Hours – You should receive it immediately we confirm we have the Funds in question”. That has been the response they always give me whenever I call in to inform them about an incoming USD Inflow every month and I get my credit before the end of Working day on that day or early 23rd which is the next Day….. This time Around I didn’t get it even on 23rd December.

23rd December: On This day, I called back FCMB Headquarters and the Customer Care Representative that spoke with me confirmed the Inflow and made me understand that he can see the Inflow pending and FCMB Bank is in receipt of the Funds and the only thing remaining is to credit my account, I asked him “Why is this taking Long? Since FCMB is in receipt of my Fund, Credit my account because I need my Money!”, The Customer Service Rep went ahead to let me know that “From what I can see here, This Current Inflow is bigger than what you usually get from Google in the Past Months, we are looking into it – why is it so?” I replied as thus: “It’s not a Fixed Payment, it might go up or even be lesser depending on so many factors, but the Payment for this Month is bigger”, The Customer Service Rep went ahead to end the conversation by telling me this “Please, I have done a follow up on this issue to confirm why You’ve not been credited this amount which I can see from my end. Please, give us 24 Hours; you should be credited on or even before the 24 hours elapses”. After everything, I was expecting my credit as he promised But I saw nothing and I didn’t get any Credit after 24 Hours.

24th December: On This Day I called FCMB Headquarters again to complain on why they have not credited me my Inflow despite conforming they are in receipt of my Inflow, the Customer service Rep that Picked up my call told me this “We are in receipt of the Fund but the appropriate team noted that Your Name was not written in Full by the sender, Please inform REMITA to write your name in Full” I was dumbfounded because that was not my first time of receiving payment from the same Company Google Ireland Limited, and IF it was a Wrong Account or mistaken transaction, They wouldn’t see the inflow, neither will the transaction bear my account number and I explained it to the rep to check my previous inflows from the same company and see that’s how all the inflows has been and I have always been credited without such issues, I made her to understand that I need my money credited fast because I need to use it for my Christmas Celebration. I also made her know that it’s a Wire Transfer which has been coming in monthly like that and I’ve been getting my credit and I don’t have any transaction or history with Remita to start up a conversation with them… The Customer Rep informed me that I would be credited before the day runs out as she has done a Follow up on my Issue…. Uptill Today I have not received my Payment… I Was Home all day Yesterday being Christmas and uptill Now I’ve been and I’m Still feeling Bad because I have #0 With me and FCMB is holding my funds with Flimsy excuses. That Made me Not To Celebrate my Christmas- FCMB BANK is WITHOLDING MY HARD EARNED MONEY.

I decided to send a tweet to their Twitter Handle so as to make a further report in regards to the issue, and on getting to their Most Recent Post (as at 24th December 2020) I noticed a tweet by another Blogger who complained about FCMB Holding his Payment which was sent to him by Google Too (Screenshot Attached to this Post)… There and then I noticed I was not alone on this and it looks like FCMB is trying to play a Fast one on Bloggers. I sent out a tweet to their Official handle but got no reply even till this moment.

I have been getting my Credit into my FCMB Bank Account every month until this December and some FCMB Customer Reps have handled my Google Transactions in the Past and here are their Details for further confirmation:

Rep 1: Ayomide Omole
E-mail: ayomide.omole@fcmb.com

Rep 2: Mariam Okubena
E-mail: mariam.okubena@fcmb.com

Current Inflow Transaction Request ID (Assigned to me for this transaction by FCMB Via Mail): RE-1962584
Transaction Amount: $2,685.38
Date Sent: 21st December 2020
Payment Method: Wire Transfer

FCMB BANK plc, please Credit me My Google Inflow!

Bro sorry about that. But please how do you earn that money, because I'm a blogger and I don't know the way... please help a brother. You'll receive an unexpected alert next week.

Everybody has his or her own favorite in any art,skill,or style. But in music, what should matter is the lyrics that pass message. If you want to sing about love, sing about it, if na peace, sing it, if na against bad governance, sing it, but why combining yansh with government with water e.t.c calling labalaba laba that doesn't relate to the meaning of the message you are passing, I think fela does that most. His musical lyrics is always derailed, doesn't really have a point. He will just add beat, melody and instrument to spice it. And that's what most worldly musician does and people tagged it hip hop.

Don't get it wrong. Fela is a dramatist. He's theatrical. He captures the attention of his audience by fussing sultry lyrics as a method to drive key themes.
