Pearl1910:
It's d drivers fault. Call him and ask him to refund ur money cos it was a card trip and he knows but still collected cash from u.
Even if u made a mistake he is supposed to inform u it's a card trip.

Many times I have had that experience, some riders even say they didn't put their card on the app, but it's showing me card trip, and I will say... well I don't know how come about that, but it will be rectified.
Alright, I called him and he said he requested for a refund. Said it takes 48 hours, if that don't work he'll refund me.

Do you have your debit card details added to the Bolt App?

Send an email to Pearl on this platform, he'll be glad to get your issues resolved. I apologize for such cruelty, crookedness displayed by the driver, going further, always take time to read before you part with your money in Nigeria except if your money isn't hard-earn grin
Gracias!!!
Thank you for your response...
I read everything, I just expected it to ask for my payment confirmation from me which it didn't, so I send cash instead and I got debited again.


I don't think it's the driver's fault though, he asked me and I said cash transfer. I didn't know the card option was what I would use.


Anyways, I'll try other alternative.

Good morning oo.

Make una help me, I ordered a ride to Yaba yesterday afternoon and paid for the fee in cash... I found out bolt also debited my account of the ride's fee which meant I paid twice.

[quote author=durubennie post=108578171][/quote]I don't know what you're feeling like to persist on this.

By the way, I don't care about spoilers, like someone wrote previously, I read movies on wikipedia too just to get the plot before I continue or choose another movie. I'll still watch the movie even if you paint each scene for me, I'll rather see it myself and be thrilled by the experience.

Anyway, it's not nice on a thread where spoilers is encouraged to be avoided.


You don't need spoilers to gain attention on this thread, online attention shouldn't be something to crave for.
Just drop review and move on.

Peace ✌️✌️✌️

I'm not kidding you, I've been trying to watch that movie for over 3 weeks now, it's so boring. For an action movie junk, I watch action film without a reasonable storyline sef but this is different. It's so dull, there's literally nothing of note to see in that movie at all.


P.S: I'm still yet to complete the movie. Imagine watching that at the cinema, I'll just remove the 4k screen and take it home as consolation prize.

2/5

Different ass



When da fvck did Scorpion and Sub Zero become BFF? cheesy
I honestly think all the writers they hire for any mortal kombat movie intentionally sabotage the movie.
I don't understand their obsession with the same storyline, competition and all, I really loved the scorpion revenge animation, at least it told a different story from the stupid competition nonsense that they keep reaping off.

I've not seen this one though, I'm so avoiding it. No time to waste on the same thing.

bahaushe1:
Hilarious! FGN will pay salary arrears and earned allowance this month.
according to Ngige, that's was the "gentlemen's agreement" if the strike was called off on or before yesterday but ASUU has refused to suspend the strike. I don't really care what FG does about their salary, I'm more concerned about the losers of this strike.

ProphetM0hammad:
Unless Ngige wants to pay from his pocket.
ASUU can still get November and December salary if they call off the strike now. Other than that, they are on their own regarding that of previous months.
the truth is that, FG is just probably trying to play hide and seek with ASUU. We know if they pay the salaries, ASUU will suspend the strike. ASUU don't want to be fooled into suspending the strike without an action from FG.

ASUU is really not transparent, they need to clarify things before the politicians will say otherwise. We all know they are waiting for salaries, why would ASUU be lying about that. it's not hard to understand.

ASUU that had been using a week to consult and they did it twice, now they've not being able to finish consultation with their members after two weeks? ASUU should get creative or just say the plain truth. Many students are smarter than that.

ProphetM0hammad:
ASUU won't get fully paid.
Go and revise section 43 of the trade act dispute.
When NMA and some health workers went on strike around 2017 or 2018, they lost some of their salaries too while fighting for what they think is right. That's one of the few sacrifices one has to make when fighting this evil government.
So this time around, ASUU will lose something, it won't be only the students who will lose as usual.

So next time, ASUU won't be so eager to run away from work.

November 2018 to March 2019
March 2020 to December 2020
Just look at the number of months within how many years?
Are they the only FG employees?

If they are not ready, they should stay at home, if they are angry they should submit their resignation letters.
thanks for this. they want to receive 8 months salary. In the past 2 years, students have lost 13 months to strike. If ASUU really wants the salary before resuming, then they are very selfish.

ps: no one should say this pandemic caused the strike to get this long. Y'all should go read about how ASUU declined a virtual meeting back in MAY due to reasons best known to them. The strike would have been sorted by now if they had agreed to that meeting, May was 7 months ago.

DamZik:
FG should keep her "tabled an offer" and pay ASUU their salaries. What is difficult in this? Does the money belongs to Buhari's father or family?
they are not to be paid any salary, the FG was even lenient when they paid their salary till July (was due to the pandemic by the way). Aside that, ASUU can decide to wait till February when the FG said the 70bn will be ready. if they are expecting any salary when there was no work. They should resign, they won't be the first to not receive salary while on strike.

This Guys are just too comfortable...
why won't they be?

they still get paid after all this, their salaries and the agreed fee.

it's the students that lose a year, a year in academic calendar, in age limit for employment and in NYSC age restrictions.

students lose 3 ways...yet there are still students wanting the strike to extend till next year.

it's so unfortunate.
Education › Re: No Agreement Yet To Suspend Strike ― ASUU by TopeQs:
It's obvious almost 9 months at home has made many students read and not understand.

ASUU has not called off strike, ASUU "agreed", as soon as government starts disbursing the agreed fee.
Knowing how our government is, it's fingers crossed.

Strike continues, till further notice.

Please, if you are a Nigerian parent and you come across this.

Try hard not to send your wards to Government owned institutions in Nigeria, especially federal govt owned.

Private or abroad would be best. No FG will hold your ward down for 8 months over ⅓ of NASS budget..70bn.

Seems they don't want to lose power for too long. Get Jonathan to return, he can't do another term, so the 2027 goes back to a northern candidate.

They are just power drunk.

Education › Re: Hurray, ASUU Wants Prompt Pay For Endless Strikes! by TopeQs: 8:42am On Nov 18, 2020
shadeyinka:
I think you have wrongly understood this.

The only reason why ASUU embarked on this strike was because of IPPIS. Other points were pending issues.

ASUU isn't asking for bigger salaries. They are only asking for a payment structure that will not ground the universities like the FG owned research institutions.

The talk had been on for more than 4 years now with the FG not taking any action as usual.

ASUU was willing to go with IPPIS if the FG will only modify it to solve the impending problems peculiar to the universities. The FG says it is not possible. ASUU then offered an alternative payment system UTAS. The FG thought it was impossible so they gave a go ahead. Now UTAS is ready and the FG is still saying IPPIS or nothing.

What really do you expect ASUU to do for this isn't a case of increased salary BUT payment platform suitable for the university system. I work in a FG research organisation and I can tell you firsthand that IPPIS has done us very BAD. Yes, we collect our salaries but our institutional mandate has been highly compromised
I'm surprised you said I misunderstood, most of what you wrote is almost what I meant as well.

your last paragraph is what I don't really know about. Truth is, ASUU strikes and many students don't know the full story, I know IPPIS has irregularities that's why we are here but that same IPPIS was used to pay people and they got their full payment.

Anyway, I hope FG will do ASUU good and they'll both look at the plight of students and consider other ways, 8 months is a full session, and we believe it's till next year, that will be 10 months, look at that, doesn't that break their heart. The masses are really suffering in this country, we have a useless government.

jolyment:
What is the fault of ASUU please?
ASUU knows that, they'll be paid even if they are on long strike, that's why they always resort to strike.

ASUU are using the students as a pawn, we all know what type of government we have, they don't care for no citizen. The students are the only one that suffers, if ASUU cares they won't go on this last strike. Their selfish interest is why we are. If government paid them all their arrears(salaries and allowances), they will resume immediately, I'm sure you know that. So how's that a fight for improvement of educational sector.

ASUU only start this last strike because of IPPIS, no matter what you'll say, we know it's IPPIS that made them embark on this current strike. They are now using the remaining unanswered agreement to blackmail the federal government.
The truth is, if FG didn't withhold the salaries of those who didn't register under IPPIS, they would not have embarked on this strike in the first place, they may strike later, but not at that time.

note: fighting for what may be their right is not a crime, but it's a crime to be affect other people who have no say and are totally helpless (the students). Both FG and ASUU are at fault for that.

ASUU is right on IPPIS because it can't capture lecturers peculiarities. If it can ASUU will embrace the imported software.Besides IPPIS, why should FG owe earned academic allowances for more than 5 years? Why will FG refuse to fund education properly and default on signed agreement?
I don't even care about ippis, I'm just frustrated with the government that would rather allow ASUU to be on strike for this long, even when millions of youth are at home due to that.

ASUU is at fault, but the federal government is like an enabler, ASUU is on strike because of the FG.

both are useless.

You must be an ASUU strong man or relative of an ASUU strongman. All sectors of the economy infrastructure, security, agriculture, housing et all except the political offices are underfunded and if they were all to go on strike for 8 Months or resort to using ASUU Tactics of force things will not be good for all of us.It is apparent that president buharis government doesn't prioritize education, ASUU Members should get voters card and vote a president that prioritises education. ASUU should brainstorm and come up with better ideas they have the brightest mind in the country, This strike approach has never worked for them.
I'm not an ASUU strong man, I'm not even related to any lecturer, that I know of anyway. I'm a frustrated student that is as tired as anyone can get.


I agree ASUU need to rework their strategy, the strike really hasn't work for them. What I was just telling the other guy is, if federal government still don't pay them, they would still go on another strike.

the picture below is a screenshot from my class' WhatsApp group, We've been in 500 level since 2019... we should be preparing for NYSC now, but still an undergrad, so I'm frustrated too, I'm just more angry at the Federal government than at ASUU.

No one is targeting ASUU more. They're trying to play the victim card which is a big lie.
you're targeting ASUU right now, and leaving the federal government.

they ARE the victims, they are owed, FG signed an agreement with them since 2009, an MoU was signed after that, many years has past and FG still isn't paying the money, the federal government is the culprit. After this endsars protest, I recall reading a news that Gbajabiamilla(speaker of assembly) said Lagos will need #1trillion, I'm not disputing that, I just want to say, have you ever read a news that the speaker asked for #100bn for educational reform? what I'm saying is, the people in government is doing everything else except what needs to be done and that is, just pay this people and let them go.

Recall they had a slight agreement last month when ASUU seemed to be ready to accept a #50bn and some more fees that I can't recall now, why happened after that? the FG decided to play a fast one by now saying that the money isn't for ASUU alone, that they rest of NAAT and others also have a share in it, that meeting ended in a big disagreement.

FG is the real problem, if you're afraid to say it, I understand. I'm saying FG is the real problem. The people I pity is just the state universities that are on a "solidarity" strike with something that doesn't fully concern them. Their state governments are a disgrace, they need to order them back to school.

vikkimimi:
I just don't want to believe ASUU only have it's selfish interest at heart....And the government is being selfish even with tax payers money....I tire for this country
The truth is that ASUU just don't want for themselves only, of course their interest is paramount, they still want the government to invest more in tertiary education. It's not easy dealing with the federal government, how many times have we seen these politicians sleeping during house meetings and they get enormous pays while professors work their butt off for a small amount. Government owned tertiary institutions in Nigeria are also an eyesore, they are a mess, the hostels are not fit to live in, the classrooms are not accommodating the number that are being admitted, the laboratories and libraries are not well equipped and so on.

A developed country is made from 3 important sector.
-Education
-Health
-Power.

Once those 3 can be gotten in place the country will pick up faster than bolt.

Many of us are just caught up between their endless disagreement. I believe if the government understand another route, ASUU may not have to always resort to strike, we have intelligent lecturers in many tertiary institution, I'm sure they would have worked something out.

Federal government will rather spend many billions of dollars on project we would not see in many years than pay #200bn to ASUU and let them be done with strike for many years..

Even if this strike ends, I'm sure they'll be another one in about a year, ASUU is being pressured currently by many citizens(me especially, I had just a few months to graduate before the strike, yet here I am, an undergrad in November, very hurtful), we're all neglecting the federal government who could end this any moment but claim not to have money. They only need to include their ASUU agreement money into the next budget, that way no one will be sat with to pay, just a direct deposit instead of always sitting with minister for labour.

The sad part is, the government won't do it, they'll keep meeting with ASUU every year till the next administration takes over and hand over the debt to them and the cycle may keep going.

This country is a sham.

Incognito403:
ASUU gives no Eff about the academia. They're bloody embezzlers. Every year, hundreds of millions are pumped into our institutions by private and public institutions with virtually nothing to show for them.

Examples are in abundance.
You may be right. As for they hundreds of millions pumped into institutions, how sure are you that that money isn't just their salaries, the budget for education get smaller each year.

I'm not backing ASUU totally, I'm supposed to be ready for service right now, I'm as frustrated as you are probably. I'm just saying, if government pay ASUU their money, would there be need for strike? And please, don't say IPPIS, I hate ASUU for that reason. I believe if FG pays ASUU well and on time, they'll be no need to counter IPPIS by ASUU, but I don't know the full story on that.

The meeting between them is just like an abusive relationship, you would always think they're going to change you'll agree to stop fighting, yet another promise is broken. You get mad again, fight for months and reconcile, and the cycle continues.

My point is, they are both at fault, we just seem to target ASUU more, forgetting that it's the government's fault..
