TUANKU:
Opay has been running this feature for over a year now, others need to play catch up.

I have a theory that it is exactly because of that efficiency that Opay has exhibited that has made them sit up... I can imagine they can see the liquidity controlled by Opay due to market reliance on that feature... So much that they have made so much money but unfortunately decided to use all that profit generated from Nigeria to invest into banking in middle tier countries, I think, Hong Kong might be involved.

Kobojunkie:
I am not interested in time wasters.

Apparently, arguments beyond your capacity to see reason is time-wasting, it makes sense, not everyone assimilates truth/fact right away, it takes time for some, sometimes. There is still hope you will come about this topic much more sensibly in future, maybe then you will understand better.

I'm my opinion, what I can deduce from your take is confusing territorialism/territoriality with right to movement.

Kobojunkie:
What does a baby or the freezing of one in place have to do with a discussion on illegal migration?

That you can't see the connection is a huge betrayal.

Kobojunkie:
I asked you a question. You claim you have a right bestowed on you by nature to move anywhere you like. I want to know how nature goes about that so that your right is never violated, or if it is, that you are defended?

Telling me about settlements is trying to shove gobbledegook at me.

Start by producing a law to enforce freezing a baby in place right after birth if that makes sense to you...

A myriad of examples exists for you in the natural environment to borrow knowledge from yet you want gobbledegook.

Start from first principles can't be spoon-feed beyond that.

Kobojunkie:
Nature? Where is this nature, and how does it go about defending this supposed right that you claim you have by it? Say you are trying to move to China or Saudi Arabia. How does Nature ensure that your right of movement is not violated when you do?

Go study settlements over the ages and answer those questions for settlers that moved or expanded into other territories, and I am especially referring to the non-aggressive ones., the more trade-based or skill/exchange-based ones.


Or better still, let's do a 101, produce and enforce a law to freeze a baby in place right after birth let's see.

Kobojunkie:
What is the foundation of this right that you claim?

Natural law, law of nature.

It is not even a claim, it is what is.


Tinker it from first principles and see how absurd it sounds that one can't move. It is also ok for natural populations to protect their living space but that does not take away right of movement.

Kobojunkie:
I disagree! Cambodia recently decided it no longer wanted foreigners from African nations coming in, a decision it likely made with its people in mind. We heard nothing of xenophobia from the mouths of Africans. So, tell me why South Africans are not allowed to no longer want foreigners from other African nations coming in?

Migration has always been a privilege, not a right.

I disagree, a human has the fundamental human right of movement.

If animals can migrate how much more humans, that have been doing that since ages.

Somebody says it could be worse. That person fit drop from grass enter bush, lols 😂

Nicotine is said to be a very useful drug. Like all things, dosage matters, so one doesn't die or suffer from excesses.

I don't really understand the stigma being referred to by Op because, I mean, what will you now do about tobacco scented fragrances or perfumes/parfumes. And tobacco is natural and has been used as herb since time immemorial even hemp. We have had our natural ways of their use in medicine and food since ages ago.

I am genuinely drawn to the tobacco scent naturally, but never smoked in my life yet, do not intend to.

I also enjoy a wide array of other scents, like the citrus based, musk, or wood scents, fruity scents, water/aqua, then there's earthy or like foresty kinda scent that smells like herbal scent that has that healing scent as if you are in the middle of a forest having strong vegetative smell that's pleasant, or you just cooked food with delicious nutritious leaves...

There's the earthy smell, some smell like a particular rock, or the smell of first rain quenching the thirst of the dry season beat earth...

When the bullet he is referring to today was but a low-class catapult projectile, which would have been much more tolerable during Jonathan, didn't he contribute to stop it though?

Pemisire2020:
You dy mind ham
Very nonsensical saying that’s not related at all 😂😂😂

Lols, and here I am being optimistic it could be a proverb with an additional coded layer, which is possible btw.

But if were to analyze it a bit, the last part alone kinda renders the significance of the elephant, the coconut oil and the atm largely redundant because I don't think meat is ever found, sorry, sold at the pharmacy usually. No body should be buying meat there except if said proprietorship doubles in both business where I personally think it's unlikely, especially when both environs can run the risk of cross contamination.

I dot even know why I have spend so much time on this guy's saying, something he probably just spat out randomly like the nollywood actor that incorporates " romancia mamiwater" in his similar proverbs 😂

On a lighter note... It must be art because he just want to paint pictures in our minds canvas, any picture... You like the ones some of those weird artists say describe something abstract, lols

OgThanos:
The elephant that swims in coconut oil does not use ATM to buy meat at the pharmacy.”

Is that because it will slip from its trunk or how far will this complex or seemingly difficult to relate logic go... I'm invested in this journey... Small proverb abi idiomatic sentence and I'm already in the middle of the ocean for trying to follow it 🤣

Thanks boss , please who are these PEBEC and how do i contact cbn , its going to a year already and this bank is just confortably using my money, I've decided to keep silent about it because i just felt , its still my money anyway and one day ill get it back but its taking too long

Sterling bank is still with my entire savings going to a year now, anything you do in this life, please don't use sterling bank

Use the PEBEC platform to report them. Choosing the relevant authority behind your perceived injustice. I believe that should be CBN. I strongly recommend you attach or at least have evidence you can show should it be called form strong evidence admissible in the court of law o, not word of mouth, things like formal documents, bank statements, receipts.

This is another reason you should bulk whenever you ask for receipt for any transaction and the seller, or government representative whether police or tax official dismiss that...

Nobody can prove cash, so always insist strongly on receipts and keep them for these eventualities because at some point they will happen.


This is one of the effective ways one strangle thieves on their way to eat one alive... You don't even have to win, at the very least make is very costly for them to have when they obviously refuse to do the right thing.


This is how you bring order.

Make them accountable.


Even after the reporting with PEBEC, keep that evidence of reporting to PEBEC also should their be a full blown court action. Keep it safe ahead of time.

Babaken:
simple

What is simple about what is fundamentally a crime based on our constitution and law?


Or you believe the shakey rule of cultist associated interaction than structure for law and order?

That's how people will kill people and say just tag him cultist and people like you will believe surface level side talk than to treat the crime the way all crime is meant to be treated.


The system is what is to be relied on to treat all cases of social injustices, not opinions that does not absolve the crime and frankly is a weak cover and susceptibility to criminal intentions.

PlasmaTV:
It's your president that's funny. Eat your corn in peace and stop trying to gaslight Nigerians.

BAT is a failure.

You just reminded me about corn.
Corn is so pricey it's not even funny... I can't even afford it. Each year since when he promised to make food cheap, I have been get less corn and less corn... And now the roast maize seller is having her price at NGN 500 min for one measly below average corn cob.


Also for context, it is not a luxury environment.... Just a normal commercial centre... Smh

Kaczynski:
Game devs is for kids and overgrown babies. People with bills to pay don't do game dev.

Tell that to calibrators of Unmanned weapon platforms deployed in real life or flight simulators among other serious dev and exploration applications.

On the last year of your administrative reign "you will" still?

Do you guys see these guys just throw "we will" and our passive people just accept we will after suffering all through their most considerable part of their living years on earth.


Life's hard naturally but Nigeria leadership doesn't seem to understand that giving hope and promising is not the same as actually doing it, executing the task and responsibilities tied to the office and learning, adjusting, absorbing frank feedback to improve the system.


Keep saying "you will". You guys are still giving campaign type speech when you are right at the position and power to make that change.

"We will" on the last annual cycle of your reign, wtf kinda sh* is that?

biggy00000:
When you leave the shores of Nig and you experience stable network, you will get more pissed at infrastructures.
Someone will say cost, but I can tell you that it's more affordable than you think

It has always been apparent that such services are much cheaper over there... Those who say it is expensive only say that because they are comparing just the nominal value using a single currency as baseline... When you ask them to consider the wages, income and salaries that come in to the average person there compared to the expense they make on the said service those with good understanding will see it is obvious...

We haven't even talked about the fact that some time those packages come along side with other features as a combo for the price of one... like getting internet, tv and phone all at once... with great speed and a high rate of availability...

ceragon123:
Having worked as a field maintenance engineer in Nigerian Telecom sector, I want to say it here that we are doomed!

Nigeria system thinks it can sow orange and reap apple. Impossible!

You cannot subject people to low pay and inhumane treatment and expect the best. Never!

The office guys seat in comfort and bark orders to field engineers who drive themselves with little pay and still expect them to do magic even with poor coverage. Rubbish!

We want to have the best of network yet we still want to behave like Nigerians and reap without working for it.


Been on the hunt for a good paying remote job. I am already making plans to borrow money to buy starlink.

Even if you park to Efab Metropolis in Abuja or Lekki in Lagos, so you can use the new reliable neighborhood LAN, the network will destroy all your effort when you least expect.

Go for Starlink. Period!

Was actually looking to switch jobs towards upwards mobility experience-wise and of course pay-wise as well... Lookup one internet company like that, I couldn't phantom the level of low pay reviews I saw lols... and their base is at high brow section of Lagos where everything from transport, accommodation, feeding etc is a more than the average...

If this guy has hepatitis that his how all of the customers will have it passed down to them...

Disgusting behaviour...

Another reason for willfuly humane leadership in this country...

If the authorities are working fine, things like these will easily be tracked and corrected...

but no... the are much more interested in stealing the destines. livelihood of citizens so that dog can eat dog of themselves at the lower strata...

We show love in various ways.


Some show love by insisting on appointing those who will use public resources judiciously according to the social contract that place them those positions...

Some people show love to their neighbors by not stealing public funds that would have provided welfare used to build infrastructure, used to sponsor citizens to get education, whether nursery, primary, secondary, vocational, tertiary or post graduate or specialist, or the funds that would have been used to retire workers and pay them early, engage meaningfully or youth, etc. the list is endless...

prophetfire:
They use dangerous preservatives to produce bread these days.
That's why I don't touch bread again. It's now eat at your own peril. Sickness will be accumulating in someone's organs gradually.
NAFDAC is dead.

I think Nigeria where safest during Dora Akinyuli's reign as NAFDAC head when it can to food and drugs related matters at lease there was semblance of order considering her work and news at the time.

Who has noticed quite a number foods eaten in this age does not decay as fast as they used... And they are increasing...

And when eaten, remains heavy or heavier in the stomach compared to how food used to be a decade back.

I feel easily constipated for the little food I consume. It is becoming hard to find naturally ripe mango... The apples are so treated it is weirder by the day... Pawpaw is not pawpaw-ing like it used to...


Are our seeds being replaced? Don't these farmers selling have taste buds in their mouths to end this seeds swaps and form a resistance around it?

queenbetsy:
It is well.

Sometimes, I see these things and I just think about the fact that when somebody dies, it’s over. I mean…that’s all.

May God rests her soul.

The finality, so abrupt... Next, silence...

nedekid:
My concerns are that those companies might be too risky to put reasonable amount. I saw your message just as I got off the phone making inquires from a company called renmoney, they offered 22% for 1 year, but wount someone have high BP where you are monitoring the place not to foldup and run with your money?
Anyway i just did 16% with a bank for 90days, less interest and 10% withholding tax calculated, got 3.8m or roughly 1.3/month with peace of mind. Anyway renmoney said their maximum in a "safebox" is 25,but you can do multiples, maybe one will take the risk as 22% is too attractive.

I usually research the bank backing the business. It is usually microfinance banks. Also check the NDIC listings to note the said microfinance is acknowledged by NDIC and by extension CBN. Everything else, I believe from there, would amount to the same risk as using any other average commercial banks.

Besides that, at other times other regulated stock investment apps actually did make reference to some of the product those banks or "company" had; their commercial papers.

OpSystem:
I would advise you take fairmoney or cowry wise.

Fairmony interest is higher than cowrywise, but cowrywise has many opstions in saving.

Nice choice.

Thanks..

hmm

lawani:
Gas is not viable as power source. Power costs has become mediocre for over a decade even in some European countries mainly via wind initially. Ethiopia and DR Congo are now said to be fully on renewable. Nigeria need to go solar and support it with hydro, wind and just a little gas

This is incredibly sad for a nation with more energy efficient resource options than a lot of countries out there.

Concerning your mention of gas not being a viable option. I believe it is said we have far more gas deposits than crude oil and for years on end it has been wastefully flared. For all the talk of efficiency utilizing it efficiently little to no development on that front that I know of and this is since the days of GEJ we talking.




We have the nuclear option.
We've got coal
We've got crude
We've got gas
We've got hydro
We've got wind
We've got solar



But will we ever develop on these though?

Won't these guys encounter the Van Allen radiation belt on the way there? How and what are their preparations for it though?

A variation of what iran is doing.... mopping the enemy's investment in offensive with vunerable humans or undesirables or ones they consider junk or disposables... before they send higher standard resistance... the coerced africans, drunks etc are fodder

20k drone vs 3 X $1m interceptor

kinda situation.


Nigeria had better be self sufficient completely ... all this selling self to Uk, portugal, france, US etc is unecessary
