Locate the nearest NAICOM office closest to you and make your complaint. Your money will be paid in full or they risk their license.

I have complained to NAICOM and it has been a month now - no action from them. This month has made it 10 months I terminated my policy with them. How did I fall into this trap?

Yes thief! The ones that steal our money! Thief! grin

I won't stoop to your level of name-calling. As for the vices you mentioned, I have always and will always condemn it but in social media, discussion forums (online and offline).
My comment only stated that when making analysis, we should desist from comparing PDP with the nonsense APC is feeding us with. When PDP was in power, believe me, they got enough dose of their well-deserved criticism which culminated in their being booted out of office. Remember, two wrong cannot make a right.

I hope I did not waste my time explaining this to someone with low IQ.

TonyeBarcanista:
Earlier this morning, I received a call from a member of my palmchat social media circle probing my silence on the appointment of 84-years old Otunba Senator Biyi Durojaiye as the new Chairman of Nigeria Communication Commission, a sector unarguably dominated by young people. Though I wasn't impressed by the appointment of Otunba Biyi, and I see it as another setback in the agitation for a generational shift in leadership, I still couldn't help but do a retrospection in PDP, that I am unfortunately aligned with at the moment to check whether it is any different.

About 24hours after the appointment of Otunba Durojaiye, the Makarfi led Caretaker Committee of the PDP released a 248-member National Convention Committee list and another 80-member Finance Committee list for the Convention. A look at the 328 Member Combined list will show names of those that came, saw and never conquered. No single individual within the youth age of 18-35 was considered. In the list, there are lots of people that are even in their Seventies(official age). On sighting the list, I told some members of my clique that young people are in trouble in both parties. Then I asked "What is the difference between the appointment of  Senator Durojaiye and the PDP Convention Committee list?"

APC AND PDP DON'T CARE ABOUT THE YOUTH
If you take a look at the ministers appointed by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, the "youngest" minister as at time of appointment was/is Abubakar Malami (SAN), who is the  Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation. How "young" is he? He was 48years as at time of appointment in 2015, and now 49. Kemi Adeosun, the finance minister that people call "young" is also 49(a month older than Malami). Meanwhile, the Youth Policy in Nigeria defines youths as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria within the age of 18–35 years. In other words, there is NOT a single Youth within Buhari cabinet... Even the Youth Affairs Minister is 54 years of age.

Under the last administration, the only youth that made it into the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan was Dr Nurudeen Mohammed, who was appointed at age 35, though the appointment was commendable, he was however relegated to the position of junior minister despite his performance in the Senate during screening exercise. Meanwhile, the former President would later appoint a 58years old two-time former Governor of Adamawa state, Boni Haruna as "Youth Minister". He would also appoint an 80years old Dr. Christopher Kolade as Head of Sure-P, and an 80-years old Bamangar Tukur as "Ambassador at Large". For those that may be unaware, Tukur was a Governor of Gongola state in 1983 (36years ago).

In truth, political appointment in this part of the world is about "sharing" the spoils among party top chieftains and not based on factors that will push the country forward. This is the norm in both PDP and APC, and unfortunately for young people, they are never considered in the scheme of things because they were not among the "FOUNDING FATHERS" of either parties.  The interesting thing about the whole event is that both APC and PDP have a form of established barter system where there is an unwritten code that mandates both parties to heavily reward any chieftain that switches camps.  This privilege is only reserved for "elder chieftains' not rank and file youths.

THE CHIEFTAINS OF PARTIES IN BOTH APC AND PDP WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD SWAY
If you look at both parties, for one to emerge as candidate for General election or Conventions, he must win popular votes among the "delegates" of the party. Who are these delegates?

While some may assume that the "youths" from both camps can mobilise themselves with their clear majority, both parties constitution doesn't work that way.

In the PDP for instance, to elect a governorship candidate, the party constitution provides that each ward will present 3 delegates, of which one will be a woman. To provide shield in case of hijack, the party provides that there shall be "AUTOMATIC DELEGATES". These automatic delegates include, National Chairman and Members of the National Executive Committee, Elected office holders from the state, Members of the Zonal and State Executive Committee,   LG Party Secretary, Treasurer, Youth Leader and Woman Leader, Former members of state Working Committee,  Former Governor and Deputy produced by the Party and  Former Speakers & Deputy Speakers.

A look at the "automatic delegates" has given the "Chieftains" undue advantage in the whole process. We shouldn't even forget that even the ward congress is organised by the chieftains and their wish stays. This is not different from APC... Well, their party after all.


NIGERIA NEEDS 21ST CENTURY LEADERSHIP
Nigeria is in a quagmire because the people that were the problem are the same group of people parading themselves as the solution, even when they either lack the cognitive skill required of 21st century leadership or they are simply there to further their business.

Our present crop of Governors and LGA Chairmen are unable to use modern skills to achieve wealth creation, neither are they able to utilise various resources in their domain to shoot IGR upward. Shamefully, most of them believe that governance is about sitting in the office and waiting for oil money to share. Some see governance as frivolty like  posing for pictures with the poor and those in need of good governance. Sadly, they couldn't consider it wise to appoint smart brains as Special Advisers to help shaping their administration.

NIGERIA YOUTHS MUST STEP UP
Nigeria Youths must arise. Our South African neighbours have grown beyond youth being part of governance but moved to young people taking over reins of power. Unlike Nigeria that keep permuting men of mid and late 50s-60s to succeed Buhari, South Africans are permuting lads of 33-45 to succeed Jacob Zuma in 2019.  We need a change in orientation and take that leap of faith for the sake of Nigeria and our future.

THE POWER OF YOUTHS
In 2013, a group of SA youths led by 33years old Julius Malema, a former President of ANC Youth Wing formed a political party called Economic Freedom Fighters. In 2015 August, they successfully secured a judgement from the Constitutional Court to order President Jacob Zuma and the Speaker to payback state funds that was used for personal effect. Before the judgement, the party participated in 2014 Parliamentary election and won a whopping TWENTY-FIVE seats out of 400 in the National Assembly, and Seven out of 90 in the National Council of Province. These are in addition to seats won in various provinces. In fact, they became the third force in South Africa.

In 2014 a 17-years old Joshua Wong, and other teenagers including Agnes Chow and Oscar Lai, and 21-years old Nathan law led fellow students to shut down Hong Kong for almost two months due to unfavorable pro-China policy. Even after the protest, these lads went ahead to form a Political Party in April 2016 Demosistō. Nathan Law(23) is the Chairman, Oscar Lai is Vice Chairman, and Joshua Wong is Secretary general. A key agenda in their manifesto is self-determination for Hong Kong people, and they have been growing in popularity despite government persecution.

I believe that I have said a lot. I wish to take a pause at this juncture.

As for my PDP friends, before you criticise Buhari for appointing an 84-years old man as NCC Chairman, please ask yourself whether or not PDP considered a youth in their own appointment. As for those young people that are justifying the appointment, I leave you to your conscience.






May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria



For comparing APC and PDP in your analysis....I will say it is a junk analysis and a complete waste of time. The Nigerian state is bigger than any political party and such what Buhari did is not advisable.

“To me, it is a positive sign for our power sector. The decision of NERC to respect the court is a sign that conflicts and interests in the power sector can be resolved in a democratic environment. These are the hallmarks of a good economic and investment-worthy destination. There are silver linings in the cloud of the setback, which the judgement appears to represent.”

Investment / Me And Insurance. HELP!!!! by TruthisOut: 6:26am On Jul 09, 2016
Hi guys,

Please I need your help. I have been running this life assurance policy with an Insurance company for more than 40 months and going by their policy terms and conditions, I can cash out 100 percent of my investment after 3 years (36 months). On Nov. 2015 I wanted out, they started making things difficult telling me I will lose money if I cash out now as the economy is bad on them.

I insisted that they give me back my money as I really need it. Knowing how desperate I have become as it is for medical emergency, they deducted about N124,000 from my premium (of course interest accrued forfeited too). I insisted that they will pay my complete money - they said take it or leave it.

From a friend's advice, I decided to fill the discharge voucher and terminate the policy but as I write I am still battling to get them to credit my account for over 8 months now!!

The insurance account officer called me yesterday saying I should sponsor his trip to their head office in Lagos so that he can go and push for my cheque to be out soon. Make una see me see wahala o!!! Na office he wan open for my head now!

Good people of Nigeria, how do I go about this? I have sorted out the medical emergency with loan after running around like rat whose house is on fire but I still need the money to offset the loan plus interest.

Help!!!!

Car Talk / Re: I Intend To Take My Car Mileage To 500,000km by TruthisOut: 4:54pm On Jul 07, 2016
watchworldpro:
I disagree bro. My car has not visited any Mechanic in past two years and will still hit the 500,000km target I set for myself. Maybe u need to go through my first post to have an idea of my maintenance history. Or wud u consider servicing as going to the mechanic? grin.

Yeah I saw the regular maintenance you are giving the car but seriously, the mileage is directly proportional to use (with more wears and tears experienced as with all mechanical systems). Regular maintenance can help prolong the lifespan - it is a fact. I hope you can also agree with me that the lesser the mileage, the more life there is in the car.

Car Talk / Re: I Intend To Take My Car Mileage To 500,000km by TruthisOut: 12:28pm On Jul 07, 2016
Why will one buy a high mileage car? The higher the mileage, the more maintenance that will be required and more money to be spent at the mechanics. My car had a mileage of 30,000 miles when I bought it, I have used it for 2 years now and no major maintenance except for the quarterly servicing like changing oil, filters and tyre pressure checks and change - all preventive maintenance.

i'm pretty sure someone has been burned alive for stealing 20 naira where you stay ( so much for being civilized ).
myopic and ignorant guys like you who think western education is what defines literacy (the ability to read and write)..FYI the people you so much look down upon up north have been doing that before the so called "oyinbos" came to liberate you.


by the way,can someone tell me why northerners are insulted for an attack by terrorists when setting people on fire for stealing 20 naira is a norm to the civilized people up south. The hypocrisy stinks !!!


So nobody replied this guy?!! Yorubas and their fear of the north sef! Let an IPOB guy make this same statement, the internet will shut down.

Well, Mr. Man, your assertions are wrong though I don't subscribe to jungle justice but a thief is a thief and in the south it is clear to all.

But the north...mtchweeee.... Terrorist breeding ground! Bloodthirsty modafvckas!!! Uncivilized bigots, tribalists to the core! Pogrom seeking paedophiles!!

The south is just learning from you guys to be badass. My experience in the north is just better left in the past.

I don't wanna piss u off embarassed embarassed , just trying to correct ur statement. Take it easy.
