Captain of the Debate Team (ably assisted by his Co-Captain, the Rt Honourable Mr Goke) - Top of the morning to you 😂

Quick point of correction if I may - it was actually over 1.2 M visas - 700,000 is merely the net figure.

In other news, I came across a story that the Nigerian government is to launch an investigation into civil servants receiving salaries from abroad. I hope you're not "among them" lol
(Issa joke oh)

u people are saying the same thung in respect of the figures. Over 700k over 1.2m is same thing. Emphasis is on "over" if the word "about" was used, then, it will mean something different.

Where can one get a good bleach product for white laundry. Something as effective as Jik or Hypo. Tired of watching my white inner shirts die off.

Go to shops. You will see it written ''Bleach'' you will get in Morrison, Aldi and other shops. The thing is some come in containers that look like toilet washer. The one I bought from Aldi is in a yellow container and it works fine.

THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS 2 TRILLION DOLLARS.

NIGERIA’S ANNUAL BUDGET IS 30 BILLION DOLLARS.

STOP COMPARING APPLES AND ORANGES.

The one they would have used to do budget has been stolen.

I 💯 a reform. I've stated a few times that many universities are operating as business centres, focused on making as much profit as possible, chancellors getting paid handsome sums, while the market value of many of their degrees is not worth the student debt incurred.

On LBC yesterday, a number of young graduates called in to share their experiences post graduation. Many have struggled to find a decent job despite getting good grades. Some lamented that they had been sold a lie and if they had known better they would have made different choices such as a degree apprenticeship or skipping university altogether and going straight into work/business.

Many universities need to become more competitive to attract both home and international students. Unfortunately some will have to downsize (tbh a number of universities over-expanded in the boom period post COVID),or even close down, if they are not able to survive without the over reliance on immigration from India and Nigeria. Reality is with the current exchange rates, they would struggle to recruit enough students from both countries unless they offer huge discounts.
Many businesses are unfortunately having to make significant adjustments in the recent downturn, I think some universities will have to do the same .

I think the no job thing is something that came from Brexit. The country benefitted more in of job opportunities as a member of the EU. People from the UK moved out more than people who came in from other EU countries. That is is the reason migrants who finished 2012 backwards could find jobs and stay back even with the labour market test. After the UK left the EU, those from EU left the UK and those from the UK in other EU countries came back making the market saturated.

To all the fools that want the Falana’s to investigate the bribery allegation, you are mad. Sorry for my french. But there is no other way to describe you.

The onus is on VDM to prove that what he is saying is factual. Plus the additional innuendos he was using to spice up his video is fully his responsibility and thus he must answer for them.

I wish I can be in the court and see how Deji Adeyanju would try to spin the story. Yeye people.

why didnt falz see that innuendo in the video vdm made after the reps invitation? The problem is the father said "an apoligy acceptable to us" nkw that statement is vague.

9jatriot:
Nope, read it again... I do not think he can win with this his lawyer vs Falana, a recent law graduate against a SAN of many years is a recipe for disaster.

That is not to san SANs this is like using a school academy team to go and play Bayern Munich. It will be an unfair match

he is not representing himself in court. It is iniebehe that us representing hin in court.

shortgun:
I know for sure the lawmaker was provoked to act the way he did.
It's unfortunately that he fell for the trap of the rude bolt driver....this was all planned.
Bolt drivers are very rude, disrespectful and act unprofessional 80 % of the time.
I ordered a ride the other day and the bolt driver parked about 100m from me and refused to come to me, i had to walk to him and didn’t say anything to him, only for him to start bragging arrogantly about how he owns the car he was driving. Who ask you oga
Another time i ordered a ride for my girlfriend only for the bolt driver to start disturbing my girl with calls and even going to her estate to look for her. I had to use her to bait that mf and taught him a lesson he will never forget

u went to teach someone a lesson for a girl u dint you have married? really? how do you people get to this level? All necos of p**sy. Hmmm Na wa o.

SoftSport:
Having only watched a brief excerpt of the footage, it is premature to draw any definitive conclusions.

The lawmaker should be afforded the opportunity to present his perspective.

As a distinguished public figure, he deserves to be treated with due respect.

We must proceed with caution and refrain from allowing emotions to cloud our judgment in this matter.

Law marker cant be given the opportunuty to hear his side. That statement of i will make yoj dissappear and nothing will happen is a lot from a lawmarker. You must lead by exammpl.

This is normal in many departments and schools!

it must be thw owner of thw course that must do it. The Hod cannot do that. The max hod wpuld have done was to reject the result.

Ikmontana1:
i invested 8,95 at 19%, 289 days on the 27th of August last month, First Bank.

i investment the interest paid upfront too with the main investment, i didn't collect any interest

I went to the bank today for Full Termination of the investment, and i was told i will be paid 8 in return.

i.e 23 loss in less than 2 weeks

that i was charged based on the current discounted rate

Am really confused.

please help

someone asked u the orugjnal amount u invested u said u invested everythjng that does not answer the questiin. that person asked cos of some reasons. example u invest 8m and was paid 900k as interest. then u invested that interest. if u terminate before time, u will loose money from that 900k interest becaise u did not wait till matirity. u will only earn for the number of days u left tje money. Then other istrative fees will apply.

RefKing:


@All,

Thank you, I do have birth certificate.

I don't know what else to add aside the birth certificate as their English is confusing my understanding. My child is coming by August, can mom reapply immediately?

add birth cert, u can also add bank statements of your mum if u placed her on a monthly allowance. Let your cover letter draw attention to those.

LIVINGICONREBOR:
Next time this happens, get hydrogen peroxide pour a cap of it into the affected ear. The ear must be tilted for the hydrogen peroxide to stay. Leave for like 10 minutes for the hydrogen peroxide to bring out anything obstructing the auditory canal to the surface. You can then bring the stuff out easily.

Wic type of hydrogen are u sure ? Cos nydrogen peroxide na bleach

Born2conquer:

Appreciation of Naira how?
How much was dollars to Naira before Tinubu took over?
Atleast, if you want to defend nonsense, defend it with sense.

AqualinaXYZ:




You are the most shameless human being I’ve ever known on earth

Why are u abusing him? Je may not be wrong. Borrowing not a bad thing for as much as they use it in doing something good. That amount being borrowed by the fg is a way to mop up cash in circulation and that is what is partly responsible for the appreciation of the naira.

Goodenoch:



Lol.

Stop playing.

Circumstantial that the person who found your 'misplaced' ID also somehow found your work schedule and knew when and where exactly to work a shift you were due to work, without worrying that you would jam him there and call him out? Also after working, how did the person plan to collect the money for the shift? Or did the person just want to experience working in the NHS for free since the money would definitely be paid to the details held for the female nurse?

I strongly suspect when Madam Peace's is checked there'll be a pattern of previous shift payments having been 'misplaced' into Mr Okoye's after payday, corresponding to what she was paid for shifts she ought to have worked.

This was arranged between the parties and they just got caught because someone noticed the photo was different.

Gbam! Madam peace can only claim she never knew and only became aware her Id was being used unil now. But it will take someone with a strong heart to throw someone under the bus.

iyatrustee:


Biko read what you wrote again!

She gave her shift to someone and the someone used an ID with her name but with a man's picture. Really?

This thing is common especially among students. It is also possible he is using someone's paper to work.

Zahra29:


Unless his name is really Peace, then he used someone else's papers/ID etc to work which is illegal.

Peace doesn't have the right to give her shift out to someone without prior agreement with her employers. And it's even worse fraud if she went to work another shift somewhere else.

Correct.

Zahra29:


Lol, the audacity to try this in the NHS.
It's impossible to get away with using someone else's papers in any responsible organisation. It's also a criminal offence if caught.

He may not have used someone's paper. The owner of the name may know. It is possible peace gave her shift out to someone and went to another shift else where.

Saao:
Wahala, the father is acting like a child since his son died. I don't really know if the father really love his son and mourn him? How can a man that just lost his son acting this childish? I'm not ing the girl if she cheated and the boy doesn't belong to Mohbad but the activity of the father must be check and investigated if him is the real father of Mohbad. The wife self is another matter, if you're so sure the baby belong to your husband, why not go ahead to do DNA and allow the innocent guy to rest in peace from all the drama? It's seems that guy Mohbad was alone and he was never mourn by those that ought to love him and mourn him. May his soul rest in peace

He is not acting like a kid. When you are evading court correspondence they will paste it on your gate after making several attempts.

MelaninGemstone:
Guys. Please I need advise

I went to UK on a 3 weeks vacation
At the port of entry, I got stamped in

I returned to Nigeria on Friday and I’m just ing now that I was not stamped out.

So now my port has entry stamp but no exit stamp

I’m in Nigeria already and I’m devastated. Please what is the consequence of this mistake ? Will UK Immigration still think I’m in the UK when I’ve already left

Will it result to them thinking that I have overstayed my visa ? Please help 🥺🙏🏾

They dont stamp people out again.

JaySterling:
Please, what is a good monthly salary, a good opening balance and a good closing balance

U are better off asking these questions in the visitor visa secrion. At the time i travelled i dont know if it is changed now. My budget was not more than two months disposable income. My accommodation and feeding was takien care by my host.

Your company will serve as a tie to Nigeria and not be considered as part of inme available to you.

sweerychick:
... Not that im defending these Chinese people, but I've been to China and I know their tradition, Chinese people are extremely discreet, they don't like sharing anything with you. That's why they live in clusters, Chinatown. You hardly see Chinese people intermingle with commoners. And they do it to everyone including Europeans not just blacks alone. I think it's an Asian thing.
I believe why the restricted Nigerians there is fear of their safety, because from the report it started January this year and it was this January that dollars started skyrocketing and food stuffs increased astronomically. So they feared that Nigerians might want to loot their shops or do something sinister to them..

If they dont feel safe then they should close the shop insyead of being discriminatory. Na like this e de start

Lexusgs430:


Have you spoken to your HR department....... To do spy work, no easy .......🤣😜

I dont know the HR never met them for a day. They never called directly. Even during documentation i dont think any of them attended to me. If the hr is in that building i dont know the floor. If they call hr those ones will say they need staff number. I dont want them to come and meet to remind me of data policy issues. it is not spie work but as with most govt dept deal with the public. I have started looking for another house.
The landlord wrote something that looks like i am lying.

I will call them up tomorrow to see if they are good with the info they have. Assuming i have a payslip, i would have just blurred some parts and send it to them.

ReesheesuKnack:


See if you can use a guarantor

Thanks. I have started looking for another house. The checks are just too much for that type of house. They ran a credit check, They sent reference to landlord. Never defaulted not even by a day. That should be enough comfort. The deposit is 2/3 of rent. Now the landlord is stating issues like i lied i work in the civil service. That's too much. Someone trying to call me a thief even after I made a proposal for them to view the contract when i come to their office.

I will call them up if they are okay with what was provided and if not, they should refund me my holding deposit.

Racoon:
"The last time the foreign reserves stood at this level ($32.29 billion) was on September 9, 2017, when the CBN reported N32.28 billion. The decline in foreign reserves comes amid CBN intervention in the parallel market in a bid to crash the FX rate." Think with your brain first.

Havent we been intervening before now?

Elders please I need advise on what to do. I recently resumed a role in the civil service which required me to change location. The house I got said they needed reference but they did not go into detail to state the type of reference.

I received a call from the agent asking for employer's reference this after they obtained reference from my present landlord.. I explained to them that the dept where I work do not encourage their staff to put up exact dept where they work on even linkedin.

They now asked me for payslip to show as evidence that I work in the civil service but since it is my first month, I told them the situation. They now asked for work contract. While battling if that could be a breach of data policy of this particular dept, I received a mail this morning on the use of ID card . It was a general mail sent out that staff should not use ID card outside the building, staff are not allowed to make presentation with ID card or take a picture while with the ID card.

I got a call from Agent doing reference check and discussed the situation and they settled for a screenshot of my start date and my salary. Unfortunately, salary was not stated on the offer letter instead the offer referred me back to the advert. I still submitted to them that part of the letter like that. This agent now came back to ask for payslip again. I just replied their email to look at their outbound calls to me and see notes documented. Then they later replied thank you for the email and information supplied.

I thought the reason for asking for contract is to be sure I am working and can pay future rent. Please how do I go about this? For the record the rent is less than 550pcm bills inclusive which can be paid by anyone working fulltime @Lexusgs430 and elders abeg wetin I go tell these people in case they come back.

Cos my present apartment, na landlord tell me where my neighbour de work, location and how he will soon start working from home.

Validated:
Is CBN confused?

CBN should also tell us if such revaluation can be reported as profits (extraordinary gains).

Would CBN be prevailing on FIRS to exempt those profits from Companies Income Tax?

Would CBN have asked the banks to create a revaluation loss if the reverse was the case or would they have been asked to write-off such losses?

not all revaluation gains are taxed. only the realised ones are taxed. the unrealised ones will be used in computing deferred tax. Again since fx is not their main source of income, they have every write to stop them from paying dividends from income not sustainable and can be catatrosphic in future

Schoolhike:


Hmm, I'm not sure if they have a specific template for scoring candidates. Sometimes, they are not just interested in someone as a candidate.

I also did an interview recently, touched on everything in the job's essential criteria, and was told that I have all the experience needed for the job but was not successful at the interview.

They gave me data to analyze without a specific question to answer. I summarized the whole dataset with stats and charts, which was well commended. During , he mentioned that I should have included this and that in the analysis. I told him that you and I both know that this is not what data analysis is all about. You can’t just give someone data without knowing what question we want to answer with the data and be expecting an exact answer. He was like, well, that’s true, but this is how the interview is, implying that I'm practically correct.

Just keep trying because the job market is a little bit saturated now.

Over 100 people jostling for one single position.
Have heard of this in many cases.

250jobs was d by HMRC, over 10000 people applied for the job.


I guess that your interview is DWP, right?

This is a bit discouraging cos how does 11+4 equals 18 according to my total score in the civil service job site when they are not INEC. This is not logical. it means after grading, score was tampered with and they forgot to chnage the total or only an individual was involved in grading. cos it amazed how it ed all quality checks. I interviewed with HMRC.

The other one I did with ofgem, the way the lady acted was like I was profiled. I used my port as ID and she asked me to take it a bit away from the screen so she could see and screamed "that is a Nigerian port" and asked me what type of visa I was holding and when it expires. That they do give sponsorship but that it is not guaranteed. I failed that one no was given and was told if i wanted i should send a mail.

good afternoon everyone. Please I need civil servants to explain how they mark interview. I recently attended an interview on teams. After the interview, I felt I did well. However, after the mail I decided to look at the . They said they expected me to have mentioned the name of tool I used for analysis, and what I was told to analyse which I did mention during the interview. However, what I found confusing was that I was scored 11 on strength and 4 on experience. However, my total score was left at 18.
