Hahaha honestly i recalled what happened to me in 2018 it wasn’t funny at all God really saved me. My boss sent me to one of his clients to collect some cash about #400,000k when I collected the cash I boarded a keke napep in that keke was the driver and a man at the back when I entered another guy entered immediately telling the driver exactly where I told him I was alighting from. But I never suspected anything Meanwhile am in their middle. On our way the first man I saw started asking me where he can find a particular pharmacy I told him I don’t know but he can stop at any pharmacy close by and ask they will be in a position to know and the other guy that came in after me told him where it was that was how he started blessing us and giving us fake prophesy. The prophesy goes thus: that the guy has a sick mother in the village who is blind and the cos of her blindness was as result of an old woman in his family in order for the guy to know who it was he has to do some prayer and mine is that my mum was sick and there was a cause of the sickness that if I also want to know who did it I will have to do some prayers. The other guy started telling me that everything he said abt him was tru and he asked him how he knew but he said it’s not important but meanwhile he said we should embark on the prayer right there in the keke Just then the driver stopped and said his keke is faulty and he said let’s use this opportunity and do the prayer and that the other guy has to go first since he is by the door and that he should live every thing he has on him and go three poles away he should pray for 5 minutes and come bk the guy dropped everything even his wallet and phones and necklace and writswatch to go pray when it was my turn he also said I should do same to dropped everything and go pray. It dawned on me I was with my boss’s 400k Jesus my eyes just open fiammm I told them I can’t drop anything and go pray they started convincing me. Meanwhile the driver didn’t say anything instead he was at the back of his keke fixing god knows what I went to the back of the keke gave him his #50 and vamoose later when I got home my sis told me same tin the did to her colleagues that’s when it dawned on me it was one chance god saved me oooooo

Wow!!!! To think that 6 years (2012/2018) apart and these people still haven't changed. Always finding new means to reap where they haven't sown. Really sad. Sorry you had to go through that.

I'm so happy that you didn't fall for it. Thank God for your life, and thanks for sharing your story.

After my last year messing with woman, I want to be responsible now for once in my life.

Be responsible for "once" in your life and abstain from premarital sex. Respect your girlfriend's decision.

SirWarlock:
Yea I should have said some rather. I've also gained a lot here . I guess when it comes to corona like you said they refuse to learn

lol exactly

SirWarlock:
it looks like nairalanders aren't that smart

lol some are actually really smart and some are open to learning. I've had great conversation with some folks here. But to your point, some refuse to learn.

ebonytarki:
Your head dey there. Very good question. Yet they still say no cure for a virus that can be killed by ordinary soap

Both of you should look up the meaning of pandemic.

That's good news.

More recovery by God's grace.

Stacyomolola:

Scaredd:
Well, of all the girls I've dated, this one is different. She wowed me on my birthday. Got me gifts that surprised me. She calls me often, if I don't call, she'll call.

Everything is fine, I'm only skeptical why a [s]hole that has been drilled refuse to re-drilled.[/s] She said I'm her second love, first love traveled abroad and never called.

Probably, she's being careful thinking maybe it's only sex that he wants.

Respect her decision. If you can't, walk away. That she had s3x before doesn't mean she cant decide to stay celibate until marriage. Like you said, it should be mutual, so wait till you're both ready, which should be after marriage.

"Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled". I know some people are likely to quote me and say otherwise, but that doesn't stop me from saying what I believe to be true.

Don't let some silly advises on this thread make you start tailing her for no reason.

Btw, women are not borehole. You should be defending your girl if someone dares to call her that but there you are saying the same. You guys really need to learn how to talk and choose/use your words wisely.

When OP said trending, I thought I was gon see like 500 people rocking the hairstyle, at least

And to think it's "trending" in Africa with 3 pictures, chai what a trend!

As far as I'm aware, reactivating a dormant account doesn't require the same level of paperwork that opening an NRN does.
I'd advise you reactivate the dormant account instead of bothering with the NRN.

I'm really not sure about your position with respect to having your parents as signatories. If they are signatories, they should be able to complete the reactivation process for you, unless your status as a non-resident has been noted as part of the designation of signatories.
In your shoes I would try to reactivate the account normally and see if that goes through.

First off, here's what my friend who lives in the UK did. He contacted his branch directly, and said he'd an account he wanted reactivated (he was wondering if they automatically close accounts dormant for a period, as he'd been away since 2010). They checked, told him the account was still existing and he could reactivate it, and emailed the reactivation form to him. His brother scanned a copy of the NEPA bill for their Lagos address (the same one he had used to open the account), and he passed all that to the bank, and I made a deposit into the account for him and that was it.

Since you have internet banking, you must have an account officer. Check for their contact details on your I-Banking platform and call/email them directly. Complete the reactivation form, attach your ID and a copy of your parents' NEPA bill and send it in and see what they have to say.

Lastly, re the "disadvantages" of a normal account as compared to an NRN, I don't know of any. The only characterisation the term "non-resident" carries is usually tax-related, but since you are only liable for tax on income earned in Nigeria, it doesn't matter what kind of account the money goes into.

For instance, if you are earning income from rent on property in Nigeria, you are liable for tax on it whether it is paid into a normal Nigerian account or an NRN account.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. Your advice is really insightful and helpful. I appreciate it.

To clarify, I made my parents signatories to my account couple of years ago while I was leaving. One of the reason was to make things like this easy. So for example, when I had to renew my MasterCard, the bank just sent me an email to confirm that I was aware of the request, as opposed to some other steps I'd have had to take. That was how the bank knew I'm non-resident, but they never mentioned anything about switching to an NRN account then. I decided to send them an email (instead of requesting my parents to go to the bank) because of Covid, to limit their risk of exposure.

Yes, I have an account officer, that was the contact I sent an email to yesterday (from my internet banking) and their support team replied me suggesting NRN with the form and list of things to submit.

I will go with how your friend approached it. I will inform my parents to proceed with completing the form and I can sign if required. That looks like it will be faster than the online communication with the account manager/support team. However, since it's not urgent and considering the risk of their exposure to Covid, I'll just ask GT to send list of things they require for reactivation (not NRN), if it's just the NEPA bill, then I'll ask my parents to scan it to me and I'll complete the reactivation with GT on my end.

No be sey I get any money wey I wan put inside sef

Thank you once again. I appreciate the guidance provided.

In other words, ki la gbe ki le ju..

Its not everyone that deserves your mention on a platform like this, at times I just smile and SMH

you garrit!

Hmmm abi. make we sha dey look.

BenDanor:
Wow this is good. So what then happens to the physical space?

majority of these firms are clamping down on real estates. The market has seen a plunge in real estates value due to Covid.

michlins:
This is why Twitter will always be behind Facebook. Twitter has banned all political adverts on their platform. If you know how much that advert stream is valued at. Meanwhile Facebook doesn't care. They will rather work to remove them later after they leave generated enough traffic.


While Twitter is human resources and values oriented , Facebook and Amazon only care about the balance sheets and the Benjamin green backs

If that's the reason they're "behind", it's okay. No be everything be about money and balance sheet.

Lawly:
Thanks jare. but next time try specify the person so make you no get misinterpreted by impatient asses like me

Hey! I wont call you that.

It's alright. I really dont need to specify anyone. The catch there was to prove that some people comment without reading.

Ausrichie:
Why people dey bash you left and right?

I no just understand.

Lawly:
oh I see and if that's true, then @vickyrotex I'm sorry for my comment.

No worries.

annsrealms:
Hahahaha! The guy that said she is growing br3ast.

Exactly! And some people want to beat me because they can't comprehend. smh!

Cyberknight:
Best you have a Nigerian account into which your rent will be paid. Usually you can have a dormant account unblocked. Contact the bank and find out their procedure for unblocking dormant accounts. Completing a couple of forms and making a deposit usually does it.

Otherwise, you could try opening a [savings] account online with any of the major banks or, as a last resort, a non-resident account. Something like this one: https://www.gtbank.com/personal-banking/nrn-services (I'm not necessarily recommending this bank, other banks have the same service, like First Bank, for instance).
Then you can tie that account to PayPal or Transferwise and send your money from Nigeria to wherever you live.

Cyberknight, I know this thread is quite old but when I searched "NRN" this is the latest thread that comes up. I'm hoping you can help with similar info.

My GT account is dormant (long story, but I was using my accounts with other banks), and now I recovered my online banking profile and want to reactivate the account. Reached out to GT support yesterday and they recommended that I switch to a NRN account. I don't even mind but the list of things they're asking for is alarming especially due to the lock down I can't get some of those.

I was about to reply them that I'd prefer my account remain as it was before it became dormant then I stumbled on your comment. I dont want the NRN if that will require additional effort.

I made my parents signatories to my account so they are okay to go in person to help with reactivation but I guess my questions are
would they need the same level of details that GT is requesting for NRN account?
What do I stand to lose if I refuse to upgrade to a NRN account?
Since I have signatories in Nigeria, will GT allow me to leave the account as a resident account?

Also my card has expired but that's not a problem once my account is reactivated, my parents will be able to apply for a new one for me like they did before.

It's not even a showstopper at this time as I have other banks but I want to check it off my to-do list if possible.

Thanks!

Don't run please. We might even send you something to encourage you
