See University......oh Lord

Even the University's windows were digitally FIXED

How does this make the front page

Angelfrost:


Why not make effort to build more schools, skills acquisition centers, and create more jobs...

You see how you reason exactly like the charlatans leading your nation??!... No wonder things keep going from bad to worse.

In every society there always going to be bad elements, which obviously are these ones, they are everywhere irrespective of the country you name - even in the US and U.K. considering how advanced their education systems are, are you saying they don’t have modern prisons?

There should always be a repercussion for every bad actions, kids has to be taught this since early age, if you commit the crime you serve the time.

But what we current have in this country is a situation where bad elements commits crime knowing fully well they will get out of jail or escape. That’s what am referring to.

I didn’t say there shouldn’t be school, how are you sure these ones becomes touts because there are no school in their areas.

We can agree to disagree on this.

WE NEED MORE PRISONS

I can’t emphasize this enough...

Ultra modern prisons - if the government cannot provide it, then they can use PPP for that sector as been done in the US.

This is the best way forward.

There should always be a repercussion for every action, any country that doesn't have will slip into anarchy as what is been experienced currently in Nigeria.

Kidnapping, armed robbery, the killing of policemen should attract the instant death penalty.

The death penalty should also be carried out as quickly as possible PUBLICLY to serve as a deterrent to youngsters thinking of towing this bad path, like its done during the military era.

I doubt the validity of the letter.

Requesting for all your personal details - revenues, domains etc, is funny. Facebook doesn’t need that, if they want to restrict you access they won’t ask you to stop.

Play along, once you provide the aforementioned, the person/scammer behind the letter will ask you for settlement.

Don’t fall for it.

Perhaps contact Facebook support directly to verify the authenticity of the letter.

I really doubt it personally.

This is high end scamming rings from Russia, makes it look legit, but I can see it.

They can’t even put a tracking device in the vechile to track the where about of the Boko boys.

Why are we blessed with daft and clueless leaders.

Bug the vechiles give it to Boko boys, track the movement and Kaboom

Doslop:

I have been asking them what is fraudulent about the package and they can't tell me, only that it was sent from an individual who is not a nigerian. Is eBay and Amazon the only place you can buy stuff online, I have bought stuff from facebook market place, craigslist etc, okay you cannot ship the package why are you holding it? I don't understand. You said the ID of the sender I sent is fake how did you know what is the evidence nothing.
The worse thing is that they're not even responding to my messages! Do you think it is easy for an American to give a stranger an ID? What is the evidence this thing is fraudulent I have not seen.
I really tire for Nigerians home and abroad.
There is a return address on the mail simply ship it back I don't want your services again I don't even want you to ship to Nigeria again is that too big to ask
Please if you can go to their website and check where it is written that you can't receive an item from individual.
What does third party even mean it means receiving or sending on behalf of someone else.
The sender has given you identification, receiver has given you, yet you say is third party if any shipping should be third-party then it's eBay abi una no sabi english? Lastly you said it doesn't meet your requiremnt why not ship back and charge the customer for shipping fees, why will you keep it if you do not have ulterrior motives?
I'm not one bit scared of you threats return my item pleasw don't ship!

I totally agree with you.

I don’t know who makes a courier company a law enforcement agency.

If they can’t verify the authenticity of the sender, simply return back the parcel to the senders address. All courier companies do this, at worst, they demand the return shipping fees. The client doesn’t want to use your services again, RETURN.

It just quite unfortunate when Nigeria companies try to flee unsuspecting clients and customers.

I will never use this company, I hope others learn their lesson.

AmgrayLogistics:



This person in question sent packages from a 3rd party without receipt.

That can't stop you from using our service... we have thousands of customers, they can attest to our service... Doslop package is the first package we received on her behalf... we don't tolerate any form of fraud.
Doslop shouldn't be the one to discourage you .
Doslop would've asked question before sending 3rd party package to our address.
We stated it very clear on our nairaland first page.
No 3rd party package or fraudulent package

Then return the damn package to the senders address. Charge him to pay the return shipping if you have to, or ask him to send a shipping label.

Simple as that!

Or what am I missing here.

Why are you enforcingly holding on to a package that doesn’t meet your shipping requirements?

I saw their advert on a thread, and decided to check the company out, since I buy from US and ship to Nigeria.

So surprised about all these negative reviews. It’s terrible, if you company suspects fraud why can’t you return the parcel back to the sender.

Who makes you guys the law enforcer - conducting investigation. If you cant ship the item despite the evidence provided, then return parcel back to senders address, how’s that difficult to do, instead of loosing potential customers by negative reviews and taking on the job of a police.

With this negative comments, I’ll not use your company, I rather stick to Shoptomydoor despite their expensive shipping rates.

This is an example of a country that is serious on security.

There should always be repercussion for every action, once that is lacking in any country - its a recipe for disaster.

Egypt has executed nine people found guilty of involvement in the killing of 13 policemen during the unrest in 2013 following the removal of the Islamist Mohamed Morsi from power.

The nine were part of a group of 20 people sentenced to death for the attack on a police station, after security forces broke up a mass sit-in protest in Cairo by supporters of Morsi.

Hundreds of protesters were killed.

Amnesty International has condemned the executions as a horrifying example of the Egyptian authorities' contempt for the right to life.

The kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls from Chibok seven years ago led to the launching of a multi-million dollar plan, backed by a former UK prime minister, to bolster security at schools - but it failed to stop abductions and protect children. The swirl of dust thrown up as a helicopter came down to land heralded a high-level visit to Chibok in March 2015.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria's finance minister at the time and now head of the World Trade Organization, was received by a waiting crowd of community leaders and parents whose daughters had been kidnapped. She was in Chibok to lay the first bricks in a project to rehabilitate the Government Secondary School that had been destroyed by Boko Haram militants on that infamous night of 14 April 2014.

There was a short speech, then trowel in hand she scooped mortar from a pan held mid-air by two assistants and joined two bricks at a 90-degree angle. With the job done there were a couple of handshakes and pictures, then she was gone in another haze of dust.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala's presence there was part of an international response following the mass abduction of 276 girls by Islamist militants in Chibok in 2014. World opinion was galvanised under the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls - and the UK's former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, spearheaded the $30m (about £22m) Safe Schools Initiative (SSI) - along with UN agencies, the Nigerian government and private business leaders. Five-hundred schools would be protected: there would be new classrooms; there would be fences; there would be armed guards.

"The aim of the plan is to ensure that young people are not only safe in going to school but that we also provide an environment ripe for learning, growth and development free of fear," Mr Brown said in May 2014. It all sounded so good, but seven years on the 500 schools have not been protected and the classrooms have not been built.

Chibok's school still shut

There were some successes including the provision of prefabricated classrooms and learning materials for children in camps for displaced people, but the plan was largely abandoned less than two years after an elaborate launch in Nigeria's capital, Abuja. The recent spate of school kidnappings in north and north-western Nigeria highlights the failure of the government to develop policies that could improve safety at schools. One-hundred-and-twelve of the Chibok schoolgirls are still missing and their school, part of 30 selected for a pilot phase of safe school models, was never fully rebuilt.
Though blocks of classrooms were put up after Mrs Okonjo-Iweala's visit, community leaders say they were poorly constructed.

"It was a substandard structure, every wind that blew destroyed a part of the building. It kept falling off again and again and till today it has not been used," Allan Manasseh, spokesman for the Chibok community, told the BBC. However, classrooms at the school are currently being renovated by the Nigerian army, funded by the Borno state government after Governor Babagana Zulum visited the school in November and was appalled by what he saw.

'Security goes beyond the cosmetic'

The safe school model, designed by what was then the UK's Department for International Development (Dfid), was aimed at providing a programme for the protection of schools, prevention of attacks, and continued education of students in a region that had been devastated by the activities of Boko Haram. But none of the 30 schools chosen for the pilot phase had their infrastructure improved, the BBC found out.

There were also questions over whether barbed wire and fences would have offered any resistance against groups like Boko Haram, whose fighters have rocket launchers and armoured personnel carriers. The school in Chibok had a fence when it was attacked. "The fences might have prevented attacks on schools, but there is no certainty of that," says security expert Aminu Bala. "The security of schools goes beyond cosmetic designs, if there is general insecurity then it is difficult to secure everywhere, especially vulnerable places like schools with thousands of them," he says.

The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), which has incorporated Dfid, told the BBC that its role was to provide "expert advice on safe school approaches", including the "development of safe schools guidelines". But it added that it was not directly responsible for carrying out the projects as this was under the Nigerian army engineering corps. The Nigerian army did not respond to BBC queries about its handling of the project.

Government delays

The office of Mr Brown, who is still the UN special envoy on education, told the BBC in a statement that "following the recent kidnappings over the past year, [he] held a meeting with the Nigerian finance minister in 2020 to help encourage a new Safe Schools Initiative". His office did not respond to questions about how the initial $30m was spent, saying that "all funding was directed through and managed by the Nigerian government".

The SSI largely collapsed in 2016, one year after a change of government in Nigeria. Goodluck Jonathan, under whose watch the girls were kidnapped and the SSI launched, lost the presidency in a general election to current President Muhammadu Buhari. UN agencies and international donors said infrequent meetings and a change of policy by Mr Buhari hampered the activities of the initiative and led to their exit.

In its report, the British foreign office blamed the Buhari government for delays in implementing the SSI, with decisions being postponed because of infrequent steering committee meetings. Concerns were also raised about Nigeria's handling of the fund and a UK policy that no aid money should go directly to the government of Nigeria was strictly enforced.

The Nigerian presidency did not respond to questions about these concerns and the finance ministry that managed the SSI fund, did not provide details of contributions received and how they were spent.

A former high-ranking member of the Buhari government, Babachir Lawal, whose office had access to the SSI fund, is currently on trial for allegedly mismanaging 500m naira (£954,000; $1.3m) in contracts awarded for cutting grass. He denies the accusations.

Since 2016, the SSI has been passed around a succession of Nigerian government agencies overseeing the reconstruction of the north-east region, and what remains is a skeletal operation.

The positives recorded by the initiative within its first two years - the 73 prefabricated classrooms and the transfer of 2,400 students from vulnerable communities in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe (the three north-eastern states mainly affected by Boko Haram), meant only as temporary measures - now stand as its only successes. The vital component of the initiative, the construction of better-protected schools, was seen as a permanent solution.

But because it never took off, it is hard to tell if bolstered perimeter walls and barbed-wire fences held the answer to attacks on schools in northern Nigeria where mass abductions continue to happen.

The increased number of schools now shut in north-western Nigeria because of the activities of criminals, in addition to the hundreds that have remained closed for years in the north-east, is perhaps an indication that in the aftermath of the Chibok incident there was no long-term strategy in place to protect learners. For groups like Boko Haram that are against secular education, the continued closure of schools, especially that in Chibok, might seem like a victory.

See DELTA always earning massively without anything to show for it.

I belive it will be better to have a separate administrator to manage all these extra funds for Oil-producing regions.

The politicians are just stealing the money.

Its so SAD

The South - Yeast people will still vote for their Aboki masters in PDP come rain and sunshine.

The customer service and response is top notch.

Keep it up

Nice one from Flutterwave.

However, despite being a Nigerian start-up company, am surprised and disappointed to see their headquarters is now located in the US

Does that means Lagos cant host the headquarter or what?

The South Yeast will still VOTE for PDP

Even if PDP zone it to Niger because they hate APC that much.

It will get interesting.

This is a request for a laptop 8GB RAM DDR3?

Kindly state your selling price

Thanks

I like this SP Abayomi, a very lovable and cheerful character despite what the face.

Godspeed bro.

I have nothing to say also, I’ll hand over to the next person below me

Inbound Nigerians did ecpensive COVID test at their departure point which has to be negative before they can fly or board the plane.

On arrival you want them to go pay 50,000 to go do another test with 7days.

After the 2weeks holiday 3days before departure they will have to do another COVID test to fly out.

What sort of madness is that, its not done like this in other countries. Once you fly with a negative COVID test, you only have to isolate for 7days because you were negative at the point of depature.

This is extortion because the Nigerian government are forcing incoming Nigerians to use designated Laboratories, and we know what that means in this country.

Same thing that happened 4 years ago that prevented APC participation in Rivers is playing out again

@anybody or recent arrival to Lagos airport

Is it true any passenger to Nigeria are required to pay another N30K - N40K for COVID test, despite having a valid Free COVID Certificate from originating country?

That’s the way things are done in civilized countries; doing so will boost the postal agency revenues as well.

But why is this fake news evidence thread not on the front page?

And unconfirmed news are pushed to the front page, we need to quench this fire....

The context in that narrative was referring to those prostrating as a form of worshipping someone.

Greeting your parents as a sign of respect cannot be equated to worshipping.

There is a need to interpret things contextually, not not copy in verbatim.

Or how can you justify the Hadith that said children Aljanah is in the feet of their parent.
