Equalizer:
Nigeria civil war really dealt with us ooo... It is just only me that is observing this or same with everyone cos from the pictures above, it looks like Nigeria moved a bit backwards from 1960 rather than going forward...

A bit !!! That is the understatement of all time in my book.

Ekiseme:
why?

Just look at that beautiful school in Onitsha

Ekiseme:
why?

We had potential merely looking at those pics, but sorry to say this, collectively our so call elders led us astray, we never had a chance to succeed.

Icon4s:
19. CKC (Christ the king College), Onitsha. Central buildings, (1961)

This brought tears to my eyes.

henryobinna:
am getting really confused,

now, I should create a paypal account with my visa card right?

Paypal allow you to only have one single source to enter your account number online, instead of having to continuously enter the account number every time you do an online purchase. Moreover nobody can access, or authorize an transaction on your paypal account except you since i assume only you will have account access info. I have been using paypal for more than seven yrs and I like it for online transaction. Just started to use Apple pay for retail transaction both are very convenient for me. I rarely carry cash with me.

henryobinna:
ok,
then my visa card can be used now?

yeap

henryobinna:
you didn't answer the question I asked on that post

First Bank naira dominated account routing number is not enrolled with Paypal.

0lumide:
Even thieves deserve atleast human dignity please. This is not right. This is not good for humanity. He should've been arrested and taken to the station without public disgrace. humanity first before law. He didn't kill, neither did he rape.

I'm not a liberal or a bleeding heart. I just find this very very disturbing. He still deserves basic human dignity.

Long time ago I would have agreed with you. but from my personal experience dealing with the police over there. I think the people are dishing out justice the only way they are sure that justice will be served. Because any other way, the police won't go anything if the man is able to pass some money under the table to the DPO

henryobinna:
i don't think its only first bank customers.

my question is, does paypal accounts opened/created usinf firstbank account accept payments?

link to a Visa account

henryobinna:
explain a little

Paypal is an go between you and the person you buying things from. Paypal assure the person you are buying from that the business will get pay, likewise paypal on your behalf is assuring you that you will get whatever you are buying. It is a payment portal. When you have a funding payment source set up within paypal, anything you buy something the fund is automatically deducted from your account for payment. Paypal is not a credit company

henryobinna:
during registration I got to the point where I'll finosh up but they require a paypall account else my registration won't complete

You gotta have a payment source account. Paypal is a payment portal just like Apple pay.

cyril83:
Ofcourse yes.

I was in Nigeria Nov 2013 and I can assure you they asked me for my visa. So if anything has changed it must have been recently.

cyril83:
Ofcourse yes, but it was prior to arrival until recently

What has change. You mean you don't need to have it prior to arrival anymore?

henryobinna:
hello, please who knows how to use a nigerian paypal account to recieve payment.
I needed to open an ebay affiliate account cos I got an invitation from them but their only mod of payment is paypal.

if you know how you can help out or any other method.
thanks inadvance

what account are you using as payment source?

Do you know that if you carry US passport, when coming to Nigeria you still need to have Visa. That is why most naturalized Nigerian in US carry dual passports when visiting Nigeria.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
I s l a m

Not trying to offend anyone. Telling it like it is. Not all Muslims are terrorists but does it seem like all terrorists are Muslim. Islam seem like a religion that has one of the most harsh code of conduct, and tend to put people in abject state of poverty.

ARKdiscloser7:
I don't really understand it, you Yoruba guys keep claiming that Igbos play hatred and bitterness politics but yet you guys are the most guilty.

The hatred of the Igbos by yorubas can be felt by touch.
The Obas statement is just an overwhelming evidence.
The attitude of the Lagos landlords against the Igbos is evident.

In fact this is the case of kettle calling pot black.
Yes we Igbos have the arrogance attitude but that is our nature and you guys should deal with it but the Yoruba are core tribal bigots.

Interesting, The Yoruba hates Igbo so much but you have Igbo communities in Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun states. Can you same the thing when it comes to the Yoruba in SE. The SW is the only part of the country where people fro other regions mix. That is just the fact my brother.

basty:
An average Igbo educated guys are less tribalists unlike their illiterates and educated females, though I don't know where you belong?.
But when has Igbo not played second fiddle in the arrangements of things in Nigeria? I have kept saying this. Igbo man needs Yoruba more than Yoruba needs Igbo to rule Nigeria.
Yoruba can do without Igbo to clinch Nigerian presidency as happened in Jonathan administration and the failure of Jonathan to honour Yorubas in his government made him failed the second term.
Please check my previous posts and you will understand this better.
We are all Nigerians let us unite and forge ahead. I will want a Nigeria where Chukwu will not say I am an Igbo and Kayode will say I am a Yoruba but we all say I am a Nigerian. God bless Nigeria.

In Johnathan the alliance was there when he won in 2011. Look at the map of where the votes that elected him came from. But the hatred the SE/SS people had for the Yoruba blinded him to reality. He wanted to form an alliance with the Northerners at the expense of the Yoruba s. Just look at the make up of both the executive, and legislative during Jonathan presidency that will tell you all you need to know. He forgot one thing the SE/SS needs the SW in order to rule. In Nigeria politics the SW is the king maker. Which ever region the SW is align with rule. The North will always feel comfortable to be in an alliance with the SW rather than with the SE/SS. What worries me now, is I think the SE/SS will forever be condemned to the wilderness when it comes to Nigeria politics. This can only change until the SE/SS can come to terms with the SW.

suggyspic:
Emenike got married to Juliet in 2008, after five years of marriage, they broke up in 2013. Emenike tried every thing possible to make her(Juliet) stay but her mind was made up. She left the marriage in spite of her father asking her to be patient and stay. Juliet's father told her that she knows the culture that once you are married and the bride price has been paid, she cannot bring any other man to remarry her.

Two years after the breakup Emenike wants the father to refund him the bride price, but the father refuse telling him that he is still his son-in-law till death.

Is this true that in Delta state that bride price cannot be returned?

What other method can Emenike use to collect his bride price, considering the fact that his kindred have made efforts towards the issue.

Can the customary court compel the father to give back the bride price?

N/b. They WEre only married in the traditional way.

With depreciation, I think his residual value should be zero. The father in law gave him a brand new car, now he wants to sell the father back a used car for the same price.

agarawu23:
ladies should do anything that will keep their marriage not relationship.

dick wasn't giving instruction s to enter the pusssy before we know how to use it.

if my wife can't give me head, I wonder why i married her.

Thanks to you, we now know why you married her. The question is can you give her head? or does she also need to start wondering why she married you.

tadeibk:
both were yorubas, only one was deserving. Also ask ur 'highly-informed' brothers in d SE why d block votes for GEJ after 6 glaring years of failure and ineptitude

Just because I questioned your tribalistic view, you automatically jump to the conclusion that I must be from the SE. Never judge a book by its cover, sorry to disappoint you by telling you that I am a Nigerian first, that just happen to come from a region within the country we all call Nigeria. I leave it to you to guess which region I originated from. BY the way what is wrong if I am from the SE/SS/SW or the North.

NaijaTalkTown:
Thank God most of those oil bloc owners supported Jonathan openly. It will be easier to retrieve and nationalize those oil blocs in other to empower our stagnant economy.

No one on GMB side owns oil block right? Better ask Tinubu (Oando) before you make comments like that. I wish the new President well, and hope for the best. I wanted change, but while I trust, I will still like to verify. Trust is earn.

xage:
Tinubu should become a course of study in the universities especially the political science...

Common! how did he do it?

You are a political symbol sir..

What thesis has your man of the man written, or put forth for him to deserve such an accolade. To answer your question regarding how he did it. He did it the old fashion way, He stole it. With the help of people like you that put someone on a pedestal that doesn't deserve to be there. Look around you. Has the education sector improved one bit in Lagos state since APC had being in control. While Tinubu and people around him are enriching themselves at the people expense , people like you are cheering them on just because the man is of the same tribe.

zimoni:
Jagaban of Life.

I'm happy for him.

I also sighted my Governor, The Craziest Governor Ever liveth

Governor Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola.

God Bless My Governor.

God Bless Yorubaland.

God Bless Nigeria.

Question: Are you voting for the Candidate because the person is the best for the position or you are just voting because the candidate is from your tribe? I pity low information voter.

buygala:
The Tinubu dynasty is getting bigger....
LAGOS IS NOW OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED AS 'TINUBU NIGERIA LTD'


I have always supported APC because of GMB, but the thought of someone like Tinubu having so much influence is what gives me the shivers



THE NIGERIAN FLAVOR OF DEMOCRACY IS INDEED A SICK JOKE.... a democracy where we have to choose between the cronies of a thuggish and insatiably corrupt godfather and those of a shameless exconvict or rudderless and corrupt fisherman

A democracy where we are left with no option than to choose an old illiterate coup-plotter over a clueless, corrupt and selfish fisherman...

The options open to Nigerians in this democracy are not at all encouraging... At all points, we never get a chance to choose the good.. we are limited to choosing between two indeterminate evils ....


MAY GOD SAVE US ALL

I couldn't have said it any much better. Thanks for putiing all my thoughts into words.

Here are photos of Osinbajo viewing election results in APC situation room as they flood in

> http://www.kingebuka.com/2015/03/nigeriadecides-photos-of-osinbajo.html

Looking at the map, my greatest fear seem to be coming to fruition. PDP seem to be becoming a regional party.That my friend is my greatest fear. That PDP will just be a SS, and SE party. We can't let that happen. We are all one Nigeria.

i need to start smoking what u've been smoking

me too.

belabela:
It's not how many states you win but the amount of popular votes and if you win at least 25% in 24 states.

Both Jonathan and Buhari are likely to fulfil the later I.e win 25% in 24 states. So this election will go down to popular votes.

Buhari wining 40% of Ekiti is a massive improvement over 2011. He is likely to score 25% in Rivers and Edo state which is all he needs if he really needs that. The south west and north Central will ultimately determine who will win

Wrong Jonathan can not get 25% in 24 states. That is just not in the bag. Going by your assessment that mean Jonathan will get 25% in some 7 northern states. Just tell what states he can pull those numbers. The SW is where the election will be won and lost. If Jonathan is waiting in the South West and the North Central to deliver for him. I got news for you GMB can start writing his acceptance speech.

benson81:
I did not say anywhere that a candidate with the lesser total votes is the winner.but even if u win majority but don't have 2/3 of the 37 states u cannot be declared winner.so no point for anyone to start celebrating.collation of results is still evolving!

I agree though it will be nice that whoever is elected win the plurality as well. Nigeria is republic, and not a democratic system of government, just like the USA. We have what I call a representative government. It happened in the US in 2000, Al Gore won the most popular vote, but lost the electoral college votes, Bush won the Presidency. GEJ can win the most votes but if he doesn't win 25% in 24 states he will lose. That is something you need to pay attention to. GEJ will win the whole SE, and SS by a wide margin. The issue is that 25%. On the other hand GMB is in the driver sit, he can afford to ignore the whole SE, and SS and still win because he has the SW in the bag. I didn't make that up. That is what the numbers are telling me. If there is one thing I know well, that is numbers. This ain't 2011.

benson81:
no results from any states have been released.so nobody knows he final results for any state.Let us not rely on any online media,But only Inec.it will take another day for us to know the direction of the election.

I agree with you Benson, but at least I hope we both can agree that with this election unlike 2011 GEJ started out behind the eight ball when compared with GMB. The odds were just too much stacked against PDP. Buhari has too much of an inside track to winning. The South West holds the key to this election either people like it or not. For GEJ to even have the slightest chance of winning , he has to carry all the five states in the South West, and if thats not bad enough he still has to win 25% of the votes in 3 Northern states. So you tell me how you think he can pull that out.
