SFSNIPER: Meeting the right people at the right time. Met these 2 national assembly junior staff whom a senator owed a favour. The senator is one of those detrabilized northern senator. While other senators were giving contracts to family and friends, this one gave it away to staff close to him that he didn't want to dip hand in his pocket to appreciate their loyalty even when they were not his personal staff. Had the opportunity to meet him severally. What a detrabilized Hausa man! 13 Likes |

ezenwajosh: @ the bolded is the most sensible political statement that I have read in a while (though I am not convinced that Biafra is the way forward). Nigeria was built on a foundation that only provides for the survival of the fittest(those in power). Reason why our leaders can loot any funds available at their discretion, without having fear of repercussions from the embittered citizens. And having being dominated to inhumane levels of poverty, the embittered citizens will happily offer their conscience in exchange for peanuts during elections. The cycle can only keep getting worse. Reason why a common basic amenity such as 24hr constant electricity supply will never be possible in 500 years if the status-quo is allowed to remain. Reason why those with guns can brutalizes civilians without any fear of repercussions. Reason why we spend 4 years in our so-called unis studying stories and theories that are of no use in real-life situations. Reason why religious leaders make billions from preying on their sheeples because the sheeples live in a quiet fear of poverty due to the fact that government doesn't care about the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians. (Imagine the present ongoing agitation over an ordinary minimum wage of 30,000 Naira? 30,000 Naira that isn't enough for my monthly feeding expenses even though I am a single guy that does his own cooking jejely. I don't like hearing people referring to my motherland as a shithole but in reality, it is what our leaders have made it into. Only a well-planned forceful revolution will be able to successfully alter the present faulty foundation upon which the present Nigeria was built, and set the country on a path of prosperity. Unfortunately, I am not willing to risk my life by partaking in any of such revolution. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

Don't want to be stingy so let me share mine. It actually happened about 2weeks ago. I've been into data reselling for quite a while now. I started in my part3 days in the University. That's about 2yrs ago. I usually buy airtime from individuals most especially students whose parent sent airtime from home and they wish to convert to cash. I buy all networks but mainly mtn. I also buy share and sale airtime from individuals. . 3-weeks ago, I bought share and sale mtn airtime from one of my online friend. airtime of 60k on a single SIM whereas I had about 42k on that particular SIM making a total of 102k.. . later that evening, I noticed that I didn't receive any call for like an hr which is unusual cos I receive calls virtually every minutes. I tried to make a call and I got a voice response which said my line has been barred. . Sad by the response, I used my other line to call the customer care and I was told my SIM was under investigation for some fraudulent activities carried out with it. yeh! . The following day, I went to mtn office closer to my house and I was told that their unit couldn't resolve the case that I need to go to their office in Ibadan. chai! Imagine the distance from OAU Ife to Ring road Ibadan. . I got to mtn office in Ring road Ibadan approximately 2hrs later.joined a queue And I was later attended to. I didn't even spend up to 30mint there cos I was told the same thing the online customer rep told me except that my line would come back in the next 48hrs. I was was infuriated more not because of the airtime this time but the stress of traveling all the way from Ife to Ibadan only to be told my line would come back in 48hrs time. . To cut the long story short, my line came back two days after as they stated. but my over 102k airtime varnished .sorry all didn't vanish. they left for me 0.40naira.lol. . I used the next one week to disturb the life of the customer care. I shouted, yell, cursed but to no avail. I've put all behind and moved on. I've learnt my lesson not to put my eggs in one basket. I'd never.Just that my village people got a large part of me that day. That's How I lost more than 100k. 30 Likes 1 Share |

Silly loss. Fraud actually. Made quite a lot from cryptocurrency (bitcoin arbitrage). Bestie in secondary school visited n started telling me about buying of foodstuffs in the North and selling down south; of how foodstuffs were very cheap in the North (He was from the North). Have heard about it, so I believed him. Gave him the money for some bags of beans n all, I was to provide the money, while he did the buying and selling. (Note that he was a best friend, so I completely trusted him) Was supposed to get alert ending of last year, 26th of December to be precise, he just DISAPPEARED. As in, changed location, number and all. Just about the same time, dollar rate was stabilised thereby crushing the btc arbitrage business. Learnt a lot from that experience though. Gradually bouncing back n going into agriculture. 7 Likes 1 Share |
