nextstep: Nice one.
I was hoping it was an app that would vet potential business partners, so at least you know you're connecting with someone genuine.
Sadly it's just another dating app... just with the spin on "Africa".
Still a wonderful effort, for sure, and I don't mean to take away from her achievement. Me that doesn't know how to program an app.
For me sha Nairaland remains a much better spot to find solid people for business (of course you look at the person's posts, other people's interactions with the person, recommendations, reviews etc). Not to say I've not been disappointed by some people I connected with here, but still there are many real G's on this forum. ��� . |

Violence - - - - separate asap Unrepentant infidelity.... Separate, do a risk assessment, go for counselling, reappraise current behaviour against his /her good points vis a vis your list of complete no-nos
Set your likelihood scales with 2nd + 3rd scenarios.
Only then take a step with timed interventions
Sounds mechanical but sure helps guide the process.

Bandale: You are very stupid. She's clearly the most qualified cos she is a development economist and you can not do that without looking at trade. Her whole career at the world bank she was working on trade policy reform in middle and low income countries at the bank. As financial minister, the custom service reported to her and that's all about trade facilitation. She helped Nigeria's negotiations together with the trade minister on the ECOWAS common external tariffs, I don't know how much more trade you can have than that..
So you coming here to say she's not qualified because of trade is wrong, I think she's even the most qualified cos she combines development economics with trade, knowledge, along with finance. And you need all those combination of skills to lead an organisation like the WTO. Mamadou seems the more likely candidate of the 3, judging by CVs . |

Lamasta: That Hushpuppis case really tarnished our image as a nation globally I think the arrest was well published to send a strong message given the following.... 1. The SM show off. The ostentatious display of wealth.. Was extremely distasteful 2. Coming from an impoverished nation, he had no obvious charitable contributions from his proceeds of crime.. No sense of community development. 3. His display also had a "devil-may-care" attitude.. Why do you flaunt proceeds of crime except you feel greatly invincible..... Which he clearly isn't, going by the current situation 4. His followers or "worshippers" who repeated his mantra of "getting money at all costs" : had to get a striking feedback hopefully to stem the tide in creating a generation of yahoo specialists. National. Image dented but we will bounce back bigger and better.. We no bi Naija again We no dey carry last, ejo!! . |
Foreign Affairs › Re: French Court Sentences Former PM Fillion, Wife To Jail by Tedpgrass: 9:34pm On Jul 16, 2020 |
Lamasta: A French court has sentenced former French prime minister, François Fillon and his Welsh wife, Penelope, to jail for embezzling public funds.
Francois was found guilty of creating a fake job for his wife, using taxpayer money.
The 66- year-old was accused of creating a position that paid his wife over €1 million ($1.13 million) in public funds, a charge that cost him his 2017 presidential bid. His wife, Penelope, was also found guilty of being complicit in the case.
He was additionally accused of getting the millionaire owner of a literary magazine to pay his wife €135,000 for “consulting work.”
Mr Fillon was sentenced to five years in prison, three of which were suspended, as well as a €375,000 fine. Fillon was also banned from running for elected office for 10 years.
His wife was handed a three year suspended sentence and fined the same amount.
Mrs Fillon was found guilty of having a “fake” job at a French-language monthly literary, cultural, and political affairs magazine, Revue des Deux Mondes, run by one of her husband’s friends.
The court said Mrs Fillon, 64, was paid “the maximum possible” and that the sums were “out of proportion to her activities”.
“Nothing could have justified the remuneration she received,” said Nathalie Gavarino, the leading judge.
The couple, who have five children, were additionally convicted of employing their two eldest, Marie and Charles, between 2005 and 2007, paying them a combined €117,000.
A third accused, Marc Jouland, who took over Fillon’s constituency as MP in the Assemblée Nationale while he was prime minister was given a three-year suspended sentence and fined €20,000.
François Fillon previously served as prime minister in Nicolas Sarkozy’s centre-right government between 2007 and 2012.

Lamasta: The CIA, FBI used Hushpuppi to tarnish our image, we expect Nigeria to do same too so that the message will be clear that criminals are everywhere and must be stopped by all means rather than blackmailing a nation because of some few bad eggs. Completely agree!!! Thanks to Social media, this is being exposed not under the dusty files in some ramshackle office... Whilst he moves onto the next victim!!

There's something not right about this story..
She Arrives, enjoys life, marries after 3 months.. No coercion seen at the marriage registry to raise alarms by officials or witnesses...
She then sits in a hotel for another 12-13 months, likely to be paid by her given the scruffy looking gentleman/ conman
Was she hypnotised or what??
She couldn't have been kept bound in a hotel..
In some cave or off-road house, maybe but not in a hotel in a city for 16 months+
Details of this case should be made available before dirt is hurled at us collectively as a people.
Yes there are a few bad eggs within, as is found in every nation..
But I find the press very elusive with details and pseudo-defamatory in outlook. This story doesn't add up at all!

Health › Re: She's In Hospital Over Ovarian Cyst Complications! Gynaecologist's Advice Needed by Tedpgrass: 12:07pm On Jul 14, 2020 |
...
Get a gynae opinion..
Typify pain.. Is it intermittent or constantly there.. What analgesia does she need
As it looks chronic... Duration of pain. Menstrual pattern in relation to pain. Any previous surgeries or drug allergies
No signs of torsion or bleed into POD is reassuring... From Scan findings
Aim for .... Surgery in good laparoscopic gynae hands + anaesthetist with regular electricity
Otherwise monthly injections if thought to be endometriosis with scan surveillance

ashatoda: I haven't read your first post but based on the topic and what I have read in the second thread I have inferred what the story might be so I will advise accordingly. you dreamt that the new lady left you in the dream not once but thrice bros that's a settled issue as it has given you a peek into the future. pharaoh had the same type of dream twice which is an indication that the dream is certain to come to pass and now you have had the same dream thrice please don't look at what she is to you today but the future your prayers till eternity will never change that so it's best that you simply sideline her. please think of your future goals and aspirations and AVOID HER AND THAT HORRIBLE FUTURE NOW. for the first lady why don't you earnestly seek the face of God concerning her if she's the right one for you, you only need to come to the point of deciding to spend your life with her and accept her for who she is. at that point you will start noticing positive things about her which might change your mind. I am not doubting the pastors but since this is marriage I prefer that you hear from God so that you will have something to call on Him in future when the need arises. please work on it it is well with you and your soul I feel he needs to give it a rest from both.. There's just too much static... He can't hear at this point spiritually cos flesh is in control . |

***4 The captain too must possess a relevant permit or licence to operate...all these don't concern these useless politicians because their lives and that of their family members aren't involved. 1-- agree but won't have prevented the accident..

Macphenson: APC SQUAD ON EDO ELECTION
IZE IYAMU: Well known thief and cultist whom Oshiomhole himself said he should not be granted access to state coffers, who currently has a case with EFCC.
HOPE UZODINMA: Well known fraudster, whom currently as a state governor has not paid pensioners ever since he took over from Ihedioha. He is currently owing Imo civil servants three months salary and deals with anybody who speaks out.
GANDUJE AKA GANDOLLAR: Was caught on camera stuffing dollars in his babaringa. Who also does not have respect and regards for traditional institutions and cultures. DOES NOT PAY HIS CONTRACTORS after project completion despite initial 20% settlement, rather sacks his commissioner purportedly over flimsy reasons. [i][/i]
BABACHIR LAWAL: Sacked as SGF for using #200M to cut grasses in IDP camps.
ORJI UZOR KALU: Recently released from KUJE prisons for corruption charges, still going back to court on corruption charges.
From the above decsriprion, one factor is common, CORRUPTION.
MY CONCLUSION: APC is coming to take corruption to next level in EDO STATE.
Edo people make una think welloo.
