LegallyBlunt:
This bustling city of an estimated 20 million people is quieter, but for once that is not a good thing.

I bolded the above for emphasis sake, that's because as a people, the polices of those in power always come lopsidedly against the common man. Who uses those buses and private cars to hustle? You and me!

Like the article stated, we all expected that the subsidy and economic changes would be done in phases. Sadly, Lagos epitomizes what the whole country is feeling at the moment.

People are basically trekking everywhere. The decision to even leave your house costs 1k alone. Which way for us?

IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF MANDATES ANYMORE.

WETIN YOU DEY CARRY THE MANDATE DO?

Before you quote me, please consider that I'm a Nigerian first before any party or political affiliation.

Standing on a mandate that they are unable to defend

i wish for the day a rogue soldier will just come to the scene and shoot all these corrupt leaders at one of their loot-sharing sessions. only problem is that El-Imp is likely to escape since he is closer to the ground than most

La click, la…

Okay. The article got expanded. That’s nice of the mechanic. So, he watches the program.

“BBNaija has no significance” yet the topics are full of you complaining idiots. Nonentities.

That right there is one of the issue. The average Nigerian man thinks marrying a woman is doing the woman a favour.

is the woman doing the man any favours - please least common ones apart from sex

Nothing can be done - Even the sons and prophets of God were adulterous

SilentVboy:
Forced update? Wow. Sorry for that. It's because you fixed your app on automatic update. Mine is manual. I choose which app to update.

Thanks for enlightening me.. from now all my apps will be on manual

SilentVboy:
Thank God I have not updated it yet. Although, I have visited playstore to update it but could not find the app. So let me keep using the old app.

they forced an update and now the new app is not even on playstore - GTBank.. you will soon start having frustrated customers attack your innocent staff

Bravo GTBank!!! Master Magicians of Money Teleportation and Champions of Digital Pickpocketing

Dear GTBank,

Let me start by expressing my most profound admiration for your unwavering commitment to dysfunction. Not many institutions can boast such a perfect track record of unexplained debits and transactional black holes. It's a commendable effort and a feat to make your customers' money vanish into thin air.

You have taken the simplest of global banking features and added a thrilling spin of uncertainty and distress. Who else could make us nostalgic for the simplicity of counting coins and paper bills?

Your impressive avoidance of resolving these issues makes one wonder if your customer service team is busy squinting at blank pieces of paper in the hopes that solutions will appear. Or are you waiting for a Hogwarts letter with an enchantment for failed transaction reversal? Either way, I must applaud your innovative approach to ineffectiveness.

It's a delightful irony that you fail to meet the CBN-mandated hours to reverse failed transactions. What a unique way to maintain your exclusivity by swimming against the regulatory tide. The losses incurred by customers only add to your avant-garde charm.
From a pioneer to a pitfall, GTBank, you have transformed the banking experience. You're setting a riveting precedent, indeed. If regulators aren't careful, they might find an industry collapsing under the weight of its incompetence, all thanks to your inspired leadership.
In an ideal world, we'd see a swift resolution to these issues. But, then again, why strive for an ideal world when we can be stranded in your captivating chaos?

Keep up the 'remarkable' work.

Sincerely,

Tom Omoregie

Mrkindness:
what are the signs to know if your catalyst has been removed ?

A catalytic converter is a part of your car's exhaust system that helps reduce harmful emissions. Unfortunately, they are often targeted by thieves because they contain valuable metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

Here are some top signs that your catalytic converter may have been stolen:

1. Loud Rumbling or Roaring Sound: Your car may make a significantly louder sound than usual, especially when you start or accelerate. This sound is often described as a deep roar or rumble, much louder than the normal engine noise.

2. Poor Performance and Reduced Fuel Efficiency: If your catalytic converter is missing, the engine may not run as smoothly as before, and you may notice a decrease in fuel efficiency.

3. Check Engine Light is On Many modern cars have oxygen sensors before and after the catalytic converter. If the converter is removed, it can trigger the check engine light.

4. Vehicle Doesn't Start: In some severe cases, the vehicle might not even start after the catalytic converter has been stolen. This happens when the thieves cause additional damage while removing the converter.

5. Visible Signs of Tampering: Upon visual inspection, you might notice that the exhaust system has been cut or appears tampered with. In many cases, the catalytic converter is simply cut from the rest of the exhaust system, leaving a noticeable gap.

6. Failed Emissions Test: Since the catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing the harmful emissions from your vehicle, its absence will cause your vehicle to fail an emissions test.

7. Sulphur or Exhaust Smell: The catalytic converter helps remove the smell from the car's exhaust. If it's missing, you might smell a strong exhaust or a sulphur-like odour.

easy ways for you to lose your catalyst

1: Parking near a Mechanic Workshop - especially when Council/LASTMA are on the prowl looking for cars to tow - some Lagosians often feel it is safe to pay mechanics a small token to look after their car while they go a few streets down to work or have a meeting. All it takes is 30 minutes or less to weld off your catalyst and replace it with wire mesh and other materials to kill the sound change

2: Leaving your car with a mechanic for days or overnight - Same as above, it does not take much to weld it off and replace it with rubbish

3: Leaving your car in public parking owned by Lagos State Government - Same as above

4: Parking at Ijora, Idumota, Agege, Egbeda to go to the market - Same as above

Removal of subsidies indeed Make I bend if Tinubu removes subsidies fully. this panic-mode will enrich fuel marketers for at least 2-3 months before Tinubu back-tracks into semi-fuel subsidies. Things Tinubu/Shetimma should do with immediate alacrity

1: dissolve NNPC and keep a single 10-man office in each oil producing state to monitor and account for revenue-inflows, remove Buhari's daughter from the board of directors (non-executive)

2: enact law by executive order to reduce allowances to senators and reps by 95% to reflect exactly what the poor and struggling are facing

3: spark true industrialization by forcing the Chinese to improve knowledge-transfer and open up factories in Nigeria or better yet, give loans and infrastructure support to local producers

Mynd44:
Only high level diplomacy can work at this point. Like the president picking up the phone to offer a deal. Reduced sentence there, life VISA ban and deportation to Nigeria to finish his jail term as House arrest.

This is bigger than Abike, waaaay bigger

its only infront of their estate gate that floods, the inside if the esate doesnt. It has a good drainage system.

The Floods occur on Road 1 just before you get to the Lekky County (Megamound) Estate Main-gate. every year measures are taken to improve the drainage but it has not helped.

A Central bank policy to redesign a nation's currency can potentially have negative impacts on politicians during an election year, especially in Nigeria. Some potential negative effects could include:

1 Perception: The policy may be seen by the public as unnecessary, wasteful, or a distraction from more pressing issues. Politicians who are associated with the policy may be seen as out of touch or misguided, which could damage their popularity.

2 Economic Impact: The redesign of the currency could have economic consequences that negatively affect politicians' campaigns. For example, if the redesign leads to inflation or currency devaluation, politicians who support the policy may be blamed for economic problems that arise.

3 Political Opportunism: Opposing politicians may use the policy as a way to attack their opponents or to position themselves as champions of more pressing issues. They may criticize the policy as a waste of resources or a distraction from other important concerns.

4 Implementation Issues: If the policy is not implemented smoothly, politicians who support it may face criticism for mismanagement or incompetence.

In summary, a Central bank policy to redesign Nigeria's currency could potentially have negative impacts on politicians during an election year, depending on how it is perceived by the public, the economic impact it has, and how it is implemented.
