There is a high probability that Suji didnt eat the money alone, he probably settled some perm sec and DG to get the money out, when EFCC dey find people no one will mention the perm sec or all the people that followed him to share

Actually it was my friend who was chasing a 500m project but would need to use almost 200m to settle. They told him not to worry even if he cant finish the project they would still be the ones to sign off and pass him, After he declined they started threatening him that if he does not take their terms they will blacklist him from govt projects for life

WTF...so na by force to sink over 200M of personal money into a wuruwuru project, and if he does not life time ban...the guts on these civil servants sha.

GloriousGbola:
you done did it! theflint1 right now

APC and monday have destroyed traffic in Edo forever!!

before APC edo had beautiful roads where you could get from point a to point b in under a minute!
the evil APC has brought GRIDLOCK to the once peaceful and serene city of okada

Accidents caused by bad roads...you're not wrong that APC and Monday are to blame, they did promise to fix federal roads, and till today no show

A Brazilian billionaire apparently left his $1bln will to Neymar because he identifies with "Neymars tight family bond and closeness with his father"

Some people are lonely in this world sha

Meanwhile Neymar is just waiting for Brazilian courts to ratify the will. Manna from heaven.

So that story is real?

At the rate these Nigerian celebs are filling the faces with botox we'd soon have our own versions of ridiculously botoxed celebs, and Tacha is looking like a prime candidate.

When everything must be cruise for him, that's what you get.
Some popular sport handles on twitter were even hailing him for the press conference saying he handled it naija style.

Sha dem no dey tell chicken say rain dey fall.

Those influencers would always praise them, people that are looking for access and clout from the footballers, na their job be that.

In trying to be relatable/real, they end up portraying themselves like unprofessionals, the Boniface character is no different from Osimhen, only be say dawan get talent in excess to cover e f-ups.

Lmao.. Going by zones

I wonder which zone should be getting the hulk of investment between the SS, Lagos, SW and the NW.

Seeing as the SS is the zone that powers the nation 😁

What are the major capital investments in Rivers that provides the next highest IGR after Lagos? Akwa-Ibom? All the federal roads leading out of Edo State are death traps.

raumdeuter:
How much of the national IGR is coming from Lagos alone

When you consider how much of the National resources has been spent on fighting terrorism in the NE, we can argue they have used their own share of the resources and even more

NE and SE are likely to be the least populated regions in the country. while NW and SW are the most populated.

I'm not against Lagos getting special status when it comes to certain capital project allocation, but more has to be done to bring other parts of the country up to speed.

200 Million persons cannot rely on the value a state that's less than 1% of the country's land mass provides...the country needs viable economic zones in more state's than we presently have. You can't in one breath complain about Lagos' population, and in another support policies that'd inevitably make other states unviable.

There's no way Lagos' economic potentials, however large it might become will cater for the welfare of over 200 million Nigerians, it's too small and too clannish. The only reason Tinubu is doing whatever he's doing is to increase the value of the investments he and his cronies have made in the state over the years, and he's doing it with resources that should have been more evenly distributed across the rest of the country.

I can't imagine the South East and North East getting what's less than 3% of federal capital allocation and people are not up in arms...a clear recipe for disaster.

BlueRayDick:
With the removal of subsidy on CNG now , what happens next? Would u be converting back to PMS or u have to make do with the new CNG price ?

In all of this we must not forget the chief CNG evangelist on the thread who used sweet mouth to lead many down the bitter path to CNG adoption, claiming it was a better alternative to good old PMS, when in truth he needed people buying into the CNG disaster because of his lucrative CNG depot installation contracts...the game is the game

BlueRayDick:
Of course, everyone knows investment in Lagos yields real returns and that's why Nigerians from different parts of the country have been trooping down to Lagos from time immemorial benefit from and contribute to the commercial viability of the state.

All those super stories they sold during elections that one person single handedly built Lagos is premium CAP.

Ibime will not like this part at all

BlueRayDick:
All in the name of politics, this APC guy (boytv_cartoon) made the mocking post in Pix 1 about Peter Obi 5 days ago on Twitter.

Fast forward to today, Pix of the same guy is posted on Twitter for allegedly stealing prepaid meter.

A cornvict in its true element. Prepaid Meter Bandits.

BlueRayDick:
If you know someone(on a personal level) in the recepient bank who has access, u can reason with him. Explain what happened to him and give him the name of that person who received the account. He will help u look at his biodata and spool his phone number out.

Call the guy on his personal phone number and.talk to him about the money you sent to his account. Normally the person would freak out and start wondering how you got his number by mere transfer to his account.

PS: Never ever reveal how you got his number to him else you will land the bank guy who helped you in serious gbege.

Use street reason him and tell him you have your ways and means of getting things down. Let him know the option he has is to give his bank instruction to reverse Ur money or what might come after may affect his entire bank accounts and not just this particular bank account.


If this doesn't work, then you don't have a choice but to go through the official channels of soughting out a court order.

Thanks man, went to the bank this morning...made complaint, the customer service person described the account that received the money as "okay" and active, and said the money was there.

A lien was placed on the account since Sunday, she said I should be calm and see what comes of the bank mediation and once the owner gives consent, the funds will be reversed, so finger crossed. She said this is better than a court order which would be a long process..but eitherway she said I'd get the money.

took bashir ahmad over 6 months

good luck man

when i am sending money to strangers i always ask them what their account name is

It was just a bad mistake, the person sent name and account, wasn't careful enough.

I don't mind following through the process, and waiting...it's just that 20% upfront payment thing that bugs me...would explore the bank mediation route first and if that doesn't work would consider the court order.

Saw a Facebook profile that matches the three names on the account...last activity on the FB account was 2017 and the person has just 58 friends on the account.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yes sir[/color]

Wawu... Okay na

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Take your bank statement as proof to the Customer care of the recipient's bank. They will notify him/her of the transfer, and seek his consent to retrieve it. If he agrees, It's done. (If the person dey fear God)

If he doesn't, go to court. The court will serve the bank some kind documents sha. That way, the person will have no option than to let it go. If e spend the money, dem go dey bill am through his BVN.

In summary, if the money is small, stick to option 1, because the second option go stress you somehow.[/color]

So this second option, I'd be needing a lawyer abi?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Maybe he just didn't have the funds to fly abroad for his treatment.

Maybe![/color]

Nobody that has the money and is treating a critical health condition would leave their health at the hands of Nigeria's healthcare...it's incredibly bad and we're just one serious health condition from being the next victims of the system.

And it's not even about money sef, cause I've seen people with money patronize our so-called big hospitals only to have the situation made worse through sheer incomeptence. There's just something wrong with the way we do things in this country.

Please has anyone successfully gotten their money back after a wrong transfer?

Transferred money from my Opay to a Stanbic IBTC account that had the same account number as the Sterling account I was supposed to transfer to.

Did the transfer Saturday night, and didn't notice until Sunday morning...was told I'd need a court order for them to freeze the account...please anybody that has gone through this process and knows what the steps needed would be should please share.

Crazy sha.
4 months after relocation, I've gotten work in preferred career path, about to buy brand new motor between 2023-2025 (financing option) and even more disposable income than ever before.

Madam can actually afford to take a break from working and just relax😁.

Kai naija. Well God knows why I delayed this relocation as long as I did😁.

Airmark so this na wetin you dey enjoy and you come dey support apc (terrorist organization)

These abroadians generally have no mercy...you'd tell them things are hard in the country and they'd be shraing posts from troll accounts that are cooking food with 4 pieces of meat for #250 .

I'm surprised you're yet to join their show of unending wickedness.

BlueRayDick:
Na so we no hear anything about eNaira again.🤷‍♂️

When buhari and Emefiele launched it 2021 they claimed it will grow Nigeria's GDP by $29 billion in the next 10 years. Today we no dey hear anything about it again.

Only God knows how muxh dem take design and launch the eNaira.

Buhari is the biggest dunce to have ever presided over the affairs of this country. Someone that his colleagues in the military confirmed he had nothing upstairs was who people saw fit to hand over the lives of over 200M persons.

Na people wey dey abroad fit dey enjoy walking lifestyle and that's because their cities were designed to accomodate such lifestyle choices, our cities are not designed for that, too dusty, unsafe and lacking shade.

Used to do daily walking, and light runs earlier in the year before my schedule got cramped...in Lagos you can do so with some relative safety past 10PM (when the roads are empty), as long as you keep within gated streets, if you're in an estate it'd be easier.

When they knack you £3k per month for nursery fees for 2 children in UK, your church mind will tell you to hang boot. On top that your wife will lose a years earnings each time. We haven't calculated uni fees, bigger house etc. it is fair to say each child puts a responsibility of £100k to £250k on their parents head (if their parents are middle class working parents and not relying on Govt to take care of their children). It is those without work and on benefits that you see borning 4+ children here. Two is the norm. I and 3 of my siblings all have 2 each with no exceptions. My brother in-law an Ogoni man born 2 girls with my sister, when I asked him if he won't go for boy, that's when he became a feminist saying each of his girls is worth 2 boys each

Even for Naija, big families are way less common, a lot of persons stop at two, and max three.

GloriousGbola:
Theflint1 is all caught up in this because of agenda

His root argument is that inflation under this administration has made a 15k pot of soup a bowl of soup that can be consumed in one sitting. Know this and know peace

Guilty conscience

The price of these things have held steady for a while now, that's something to celebrate...good news!

Emaprince:
Bro, do you really believe what that loud mouth was saying?

Abi you just dey wan make excuses for him?

Which part of what he said is unbelievable? That you can't finish a pot of soup in a space of 24 hours if that's all you ate?

BlueRayDick:
Na Africans dey born anyhow na due to some of our cultures ; the rest of the world don't give birth as much as Africans do.
There are even people in the west and Asia who decide they don't want to have kids. In Africa, having kids is like one of the things we prioritize

Yea, when you now add women working a lot more than they did in the past, you'd see why birth rates are so low.

Segedinho:
What you mean now is to buy a kilo of turkey vs 1 cup of melon just because u crave it?


And u do this whenever u wonna eat egusi?

If that was/is the case….his other more sophisticated food should be 100k per day na

No, it could be 25K or 20K a day, and this is with him not eating to his satisfaction.

if he's able to push that his pot of soup that barely lasts a day to the next morning, someone that spends around 20-25K eating out a day could be doing a lot of savings. There are lots of persons that live like this...I have a neighbour that the family rarely cook, they order food a lot. A lot of our pablos and tech/crypto bros, live like this too.

KingTom:
A full chicken goes for 8k here, so if I use the chicken to cook a sumptuous pot of egusi assuming I use the 7k for the rest of the ingredients(Which I don't BTW since it's cheaper here). I work so I eat the soup for breakfast, I run back home in my afternoon break to eat my beloved soup and when I return at night I eat the soup again, will the soup finish?

Where is here? A kilo of frozen turkey is 9K, and chicken 6K.

A full chicken ranges between 1.5KG - 3KG, so you're comparing two very different scenarios.

KingTom:
As is to be expected, countries with high rates of homo sexuality are lagging behind, repopulation drives are most definitely in the offing. Ironically there's another chart on IQ % which gives a reverse result, one can arguably infer that the higher the IQ the lower the fertility rates 🤷🏾‍♂️

Homosexuals are a minority in the general population, Japanese and a lot of these Asian countries are not notorious for homosexuality, yet they're grappling with low birth rates.

Segedinho:
You are tryna refurbish the main argument.

The ish isn’t all about “I can”…it is more of it doesn’t last more than


It isn’t a competition but what is done on a norm and it is absolutely awkward to say a soup of 15k doesn’t last more 24hrs for a bachelor



See ..anyone can burn a 50k soup within 12hrs but wouldn’t on a norms ..na soup u come eat for life

In a family setting, soup would last at least three days, and possibly more, and that's because the soups would typically be eaten once a day, and at night.

For a bachelor that'd make that soup the base for his meal across a day, it's very possible to run through the soup in one day.

Ibime:
Calm down, Elder may be only eating Fisherman (Rivers Native) soup

Calculate Crabs, prawns, Ngolo, Clams, mussels periwinkles and fish inside Elder pot

All this kin things inside one soup fit dey go like 30K or more at today's rate, unless you wan go river collect as the fishermen dey bring am comot...and to think this was something that could be braved every once in a while, only a couple years ago.

BlueRayDick:
No please! Most people who came for him did so knowing his antecedents for making untrue claims like posting picture of pot of soup he lifted online and labeled it as being prepared by him.

All those shalaye u are doing up there na because u want to Try as much as possible to believe him Sha.

They came for him because he said what looked like one of those unfounded claims.

Take what he said at face value and you'd see it's very possible.

GloriousGbola:
all this while we though the flint was all about agege bread - turns out he is all about turkey

are you also a big daddy

Lol, I'm normally a light eater, and I avoid bread as much as possible.
