It is about Zenith bank only. But you guys just like bringing politics into every issue

What is political about it when even the OAGF issued a statement apologising?

If it affected even 100 workers, it is enough to cause outrage due to the current economic hardship and poverty most Nigerians are facing.

People like helinues and his ronu gang will avoid this thread like a plague.

Politics is more important to him than actual good governance and speaking truth to power.

This is a really innovative and timely move! Using bamboo for housing is not only eco-friendly but also a smart step towards affordable living for many Nigerians. Big ups to the Ministry and NBRRI for thinking outside the box and promoting climate-smart solutions. Let’s hope the implementation is effective and creates real impact for low and middle-income earners.

Affordable and bamboo in the same sentence just shows how completely ignorant you are.

Just do small research into the cost of bamboo then come back.

We should be instead looking at clay and normal wood cos bamboo is quite expensive.

Alot of folks here who knows nothing about construction go come here come rank ignorantly! An edifice built in 1991, i.e 34 years ago and has never been renovated is as good as building a new one!
My family house built over 50yrs ago for God knows how much, the roof renovations alone cost more than the cost of the entire building from purchase to construction and furnishings!

So, you honestly think renovating that building would have truly cost up to even half or N40B?

Nigerian politicians are truly living in heaven with your type as citizens.

almarthins:
You responded in unbridled tribal sentiment, I wasn't expecting anything less.

Both you and the obident are all one and the same.
What you see the obidient do is what they actually learnt from you(yoruba). The only difference is they are using it more often than necessary, in and out seasons.

The problem with most Igbo people is they are crude and they lack diplomacy - they don't pretend, they show it. Is that what you call toxicity?
Let me also remind you that they learn it from apc lead campaign. I give it to them(APC) for mastering the art and act of psychological campaign that ripe two joined people apart.


There is a curse on any body who call evil good; and good evil. The hypocrisy is on you because you tend to see any one who dare to say no to this administration is automatically called obidient. You don't even know me, and yet you conclusively tag me an ibo.

You know the truth deep down, sentiment apart. Onokoya is more refined than all of us put together. You say obidents are toxic, but are you by your statement any different from them?

Lastly, I have nothing against onokoya, obidient and any one who has a stake in this matter. If Nigeria can not work, then we should break apart. It is not by force to continue to carry a burden that weary other regions of the federation. I am not a fan of both tinubu and obidient - none of them contributed to my well-being and I don't ow any of them shin shin. Infact as far as I am concern, all of them should get lost, including you.

Being honest and straightforward is what you term crude and tactlessness?

Germans, most eastern Europeans and many other nations are like this and have excelled in many areas of human endeavour.

Don't be myopic to say such nonsense, as every nation has its peculiarities and way of life.

Most Nigerians, including so called obidients are rightfully angry with how worse off the country has become since 2014 and no matter what you think about how this anger has been expressed so far, they haven't physically harmed anyone (at least not yet).

APC members and their apologists on the other hand have committed physically acts of violence since 2015 and no one has ever been held to account.

If you think your refusal to call a spade a spade and using doublespeak to justify rubbish is diplomacy, maybe we don't need to wonder why the country is deep in poverty today since anyone who says things as they are are shunned, isolated and termed "crude and undiplomatic".

I leave you to to fate and posterity; knowing fully well that you will get what you deserve in the near future.

Seun your website had gone to the dogs.

Cos angry Nigerians who expressed their displeasure is now termed "obidients" and you and your mods unlook such a mischaracterisation to allow it on the FP.

What a resounding shame.

Judolisco:
what has names got to do with geographical regions? There are yorubas indigenous to kogi state.... We have Yorubas in kwara as well and kwara is also a Northern state.... Infact 90% of kwarans speak Yoruba

So in other words, saying Oludare is Yoruba is correct; right?

donleo92:
I took time to read your write-up. It's actually interesting.

In as much as I don't like Tinubu, I still think he will win and I guess I will be voting for him. Why? Because he know how to play the game.

He told us that it was his time, and it was actually his time. And now he is the president you think he will just hand it over to someone at a platter? Forget it.

Even VERYDARKMAN during the next election would not be heard or seen. You want to use Tinubu and play baa.


Tinubu is not Good luck Jonathan oh

Unbelievable comment.

Worst part is that there's tens of millions of Nigerians who think like you.

You people really deserve the leaders you get.

Another one bites the dust

I hope the founders get another shot.

I wonder why they didn't consider going for another market or even targeting the global.market instead of just Nigeria.

They would have learnt from the adventure so still a win for everyone closely involved with the startup.

larivers:
people don't know how CBN operates, they just upset becase these women are not in their gangs - this is simply propaganda
so break down - when you earn 500K in CBN you will get minumum of 2M in benefits and allowances monthly o - there's no way in heaven they are earning more than CBN directors, not even close to deputy governors. NEVER !!

I know a few people that resigned from Chevron/Total because they got an offer from CBN so yes that how lucarative it is to work in CBN, why do you think nobody resigns from CBN

Yes, they may have been hired without due process - but everyone knows when a C-Level exec moves, he/sh moves with his team - it's just that simple

We all know consultants usually will earn higher than their counterparts on the same level in an organisation so you really don't know if they were brought in at director or deputy governor level.

Anyhoo, there should be some level of transparency if you're bringing such consultants to the central bank to avoid what seems to be happening right now.

We know naija anyway, will not be surprised if they are indeed Cardoso "women"

olas24u:
Yeah tiinubu is planning a 1 trillion dollar economy , Nigeria just because the biggest economy in africa .you cannot achieve it with the people there because they are civil servants .You use outsiders and tell them you goals and objectives, they charge you ,they offer and achieve the goals and you pay them .simple and cheaper than a civil servant collecting 10% left right and corner and buying houses all over the place..In china many civil servants would have died 12times by now .they are very corrupt

So what are the said goals and why are they not transparent to everyone, including the CBN staff?

You better ask the right questions and miss me with the Cardoso is doing well when inflation is over 30%.

Seun, so it has come to this?

Your people now single out SE out of all regions to post on fp, to what end?

Nawaa.

I was in the same situation during the pandemic in 2020.

I knew I was going to be one of those "he collapsed and died" stories if I didn't leave the job, so I left without having another job.

I did have a plan though, which was japa.

5 years later, that was one of the best decisions I ever made, only second to marrying my wife.

In conclusion, if your job is giving you anxiety, high BP and depression, please quit it even if you don't have any plan. Better to be alive and well to face another hustle than to become a victim of Nigerian banking system.

As a mentor once told me, tough times never last but tough people do.

Cheers to everyone going through this madness called life.

Not even one mention of the so-called business she founded, neither did I see any mention of any world class organisation she has worked with.

Another appointment to one of his cronies' daughter.

No be today.

Meanwhile helinues and madridguy are still on NL in their 40s, doing otimkpu for free

GoodLife4live:
Bros ...you self know you dey lie....

I am not against obi presidency oo...

But nothing is in Anambra....Anambranians are trooping to Lagos like economy Refugees due underdevelopment of obi governorship...
Fact

Your level of ignorance ehn

You really have no idea do you?

I put it to you that Anambra 50x more manufacturing firms than whatever state you're from.

The state is a Money minter for businesses but you really are deluded in your clannish ignorance.

This level of ignorance is why naij ngmi.

Samantha125:
How is it her loss when you'll also be losing your child? Because chances are she'll never allow you to see that child ever again.

When the child reaches a certain age and start asking questions, she might tell him or her how you rejected him or her and went to the extent of conducting a DNA... The child will then hate you.

In your wildest dream.

The child belongs to both parents so she has absolutely no right to kidnap it for some stupid reason like DNA test.

Meanwhile, I'm not surprised to see you think like this and at how you quickly twisted the narrative to the child being rejected.

Many women also think like you. It's a pandemic at this point.

You need help and therapy!

blamingthedevil:
Nairaland and its owner, Seun, have consistently allowed individuals to describe this country with derogatory names without facing any repercussions. Moderators even promote such threads to the front page. If Nairaland fails to address this issue, it is time for the Nigerian government to step in, and everyone involved will have to face the consequences.

Another raving loon.

You better relocate to North Korea or China if you want people not to express their disdain for the criminality called Nigeria. Even in "developed" countries, their citizens denigrate the country and you expect a hellish jungle like Nigeria to not be disparaged by its citizens who have had their future stolen by successive governments and crooks at all levels, with the active connivance of the judiciary and legislature.

The hypocrisy and nauseating thing about folks like you is that you claim to love Nigeria but continue to vote inept criminals as president, in the name of spiting Igbos.

People will say how they feel about a country that does not care one bit about its citizens and there's nothing you and the criminals in power will do.

kings59:
He is telling the truth. I have a friend here, he has yet to balance himself since he got there in March.

He says bill and taxes will take all your money + feeding and transportation. If you skip work, salary will be deducted.


We can be better than those countries, just that everything in Nigeria is bastardized

When one relocates, it takes at least 5 years for you to actually start realising the amazing benefits.

Expecting that you'll be successful immediately relocating is naive and frankly stupid. Although, highly skilled people can achieve this, they are an exception to the rule.

Give your friend a few years and you'll see the difference.

ivandragon:
What is the big deal in a train having fault?

All these unnecessary ethnic diatribe needs to stop. What Lagos does with its revenue is Lagos' business.

Other states should look to learn from the developments and mistakes of Lagos and do something better.

So anyone who complains about the opacity of Lagos state revenue management or the report by the OP that the line has been suspended indefinitely is automatically against an ethnic group or what?

So Lagosians shouldn't ask questions about what the govt is doing with their taxes, nor complain when there's infrastructure breakdown?

You're not making any sense, if you have something to say, be bold and say it. Don't be a coward.

Omoawoke:
No vex naaa!
I don edit am

You're pathetic.

All you think of is bigotry, and everyone who says anything that is not in praise of your god or SW automatically is Igbo in your decrepit mind.

I pity your parents.

If credit from CBN is currently N38 trillion, and expected to surpass N50 trillion in a few years, it simply means that inflation will only get worse than it is at the moment.

Nigerians better brace up for what's coming!

mizGene:
I'm giving an account of what happened to me, I will also give the context of the situation. Saying he was my Junior is just facts and relevant to the story because if I was his peer, it could be acceptable banter. I hope you understand now.

Again, your ego is out of this world.

You certainly could have told the story without the junior thing. Peep how many times you mentioned junior in just one short story

Going by your logic, would it have been more acceptable if the incident happened with a "senior" colleague?

Some of us have a 6th sense and I can tell you categorically that you enjoy the power trip of seeing others as junior to you, suggesting that you're an authoritative, egotistic person who enjoys "putting your juniors in their place".

It's a sign of a weak, unsure individual. You still have a lot of growing to do mentally and emotionally.

I rest my case.

mizGene:
OK. You are in the same WhatsApp group obviously.

Where is the classism when I didn't have to speak to him in the first place?. Would he make the same "joke" with a man? Meanwhile, it wasn't even a joke cause he repeated it on another occasion trying to remind me about his jollof.
There are things you don't say to people in the work place that you are meeting for the first time in a professional capacity. If you don't know this already, I can't help you.
Try not to be defending nonsense.

Thankfully he was the only bad experience I've had and I've enjoyed cordial/professional relationship with others both male and female after him.

You missed the entire point o.

My reply had absolutely nothing to do with the Jollof rice request.

Read in-between the lines to understand, if you can.

mizGene:
Hmm Justwise, I'm surprised you are saying this...ok let me give you my own story being a woman in senior management.
I was the only Nigerian in my team so when they employed another one, I reached out to welcome him and offer my support for his settling in into the role. I told him to let me know if he needs help settling in and the silly boy told me to bring him some jollof rice! I was shocked and in my mind I was like "sebi na me find trouble come".
He probably didn't know my role/level. But even if I was his mate, should that be the response to a professional offer to help? A lot of our men still see women as kitchen occupiers and still speak in manners that are not acceptable here.
These bad encounters turn well meaning ppl off. If I wasn't who I am, that will be the last time I give a newbie a chance. People don't like to suffer fools twice.

Thankfully since then, I've had the pleasure of meeting other junior Nigerians who were sensible and didn't give me regrets.

The same classism disease

Your level and seniority is so precious to you init.

From just this post, your leadership skills are seriously questionable if you're talking about your colleagues outside the workplace from a senior/junior POV.

Your ego is off the charts and you need to reign it in because it will ruin you in the long run.

Cheers.

ebukal67x:
This tax bill is really bad for the North. Even the South East and South South will also suffer from it. Only the South West will benefit.

From the excerpts of the bill I've seen, only Lagos, FCT, Rivers and Ogun state will benefit from it due to Lagos being former capital and having the only fully functional seaport in Nigeria; Ogun state due to its proximity to Lagos, FCT being the current capital and Rivers due to the Onne port and oil companies presence.

Saying states will get 50% of the VAT they accrue will only throw most of the other states into bankruptcy in a few years.

It will be rather interesting to see how this bill drama unfolds.

madridguy:
What use is a nation's wealth if it is not deployed in the service of its citizens? Let Nigeria's oil be a blessing once more, not a bitter reminder of inequalities entrenched and lives disregarded.

Ipob why are you wailing? You will wail for a long time o.

Jagaban till 2047!!!

simpleseyi:
Take your drugs ooooo, because the psychiatric hospitals are full. Then cry well well, cry yourself sleep and wake up in tears, Tinubu JAGABAN is President till 2031

👎 👎

Jagaban till 2047!!!

AntiChristian:
It's the same thing i am saying!

That outfit is a state outfit!

NPF is a federal outfit.

Let them face one another in these matter rather than use only federal NPF to fight NPF!

I understand the case as it didn't happen today!

Because they're a police officer currently in active service, only the NPF can handle the matter.

AntiChristian:
That why we are in Lagos!

We should learn to know our way!

And if you don't know, ask!

Did you even read the post at all?

The case has already been reported and investigated, with the outcome sent to Abuja.

The victim's mother is saying that the rapist hasn't been tried by the NPF because they want to give the vile criminal a soft landing.

Be like reading hard for you

If the rapist police officer were to be Igbo, you would see the bigots like yarimo, madridguy, helinues and other riff raffs coming here to spill their bile.

As for the case at hand, this is normal with the Nigeria Police Force.

Unfortunately, the case is likely to be swept under the carpet.

My heart goes out to the young girl who has been forever traumatised by the incident. One can only imagine how many of such cases never even make it to the media.

People like Iyin Aboyeji will say the president doesn't matter but cases like this are supposed to cause national uproar, forcing the president to step in and ensure the rapist is brought to justice.

People like madridguy, yarimo and helinues will avoid this thread for obvious reasons

The quest for wealth without enterprise has finished Nigerian youths, from the north to the south, east to west.

When the current president is an alleged drug bag man, there are virtually no positive role models in the society anymore.

What a shame!

BuhariAdvocate:
I can bet it with my life that the person on that picture isn't a Yoruba person.

When your life is cheaper than that of a church rat, you can stake in on tribal bigotry.

I really pity your parents
