Business / SA Student Goes On Spending Spree After Accidentally Receiving Money. by Rollwitu(f): 3:09pm On Aug 31, 2017 |
Sibongile Mani, 27, was on benefits to allow her to study accountancy at college She usually gets £85 a month by a company similar to a student loan in the UK But after administrative blunder, a whopping £850,000 was transferred to her The student used the cash straight away blowing thousands on lavish items A student who received a staggering £850,000 instead of her usual £85 monthly university food grant is in hot water after going on a massive 73 day spending spree with her pals. Accountancy student Sibongile Mani, 27, who was on benefits to allow her to study was said to have undergone a Cinderella like transformation overnight after the cash blunder. Student leader Sibongile who is at the Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa, gets £85 (1,400 Rand) each month put into her bank account in food and book allowances. But instead the company that administers the financial aid allowances at the university called Intellimali fouled up and sent £850,000 (14million Rand) in cash to the hard up student. Eyebrows were raised initially when her neat corn-row hairstyle was replaced with £180-a-time Peruvian weaves and she began wearing designer outfits and bought a brand new i-phone 7. She began flashing the cash kitting out her closest friends with new outfits and drinking £50-a-time bottles of whisky and jetting herself and her pals round the country to wild parties. Suspicions grew when a till receipt from a local SPAR shop was leaked showing that she he had more than £800,000 in her account and her wild spending became more lavish and talked about. She was finally outed by Samkelo Mqhayi, deputy branch secretary of the South African Students Congress (SASCO), who reported her to the National Students' Financial Aids Scheme. He told Herald Live: 'She threw surprise birthday parties for her friends and showered them with expensive gifts and flew them to events where she bought the best seats. 'When the SPAR receipt was leaked showing a balance of R13.6-million in her account I called NSFAS and they checked their records and confirmed that the initial amount was R14-million'. By the time they reigned her in after her two-and-a-half-month spending spree they discovered she had been blowing £666 a day which is a staggering amount in South Africa. The total missing from the account is £50,000. A fellow student said: 'She went from a hard up, humdrum run-of-the-mill student to one who was leading a lavish lifestyle and seemed to have no bottom to her purse and lived the high life. 'She became very glamorous in beautiful dresses with all the accessories and we thought she must have won the Lottery. 'She must have thought she had won it too when she got that cash.' SASCO branch chairman Zolile Zamisa told Herald Live: 'We are shocked. Not so long ago we were protesting for thousands of students who were left without funding due to fund shortages. 'Yet she was living a lavish lifestyle hosting birthday parties for her friends at up-market champagne clubs and other expensive hangouts. This cannot be allowed to happen again'. In a Facebook post Miss Mani claimed she had reported the error to the authorities. She said: 'Today my personal life has become a social media scandal. I have been named and shamed in public. 'Today, I am a bad person, a person who stole the money of students. 'With that being said, and being named a thief, but as we all know in every story there is truth and there are lies with the very same story'. She said she was not denying anything but would tell her side later but she has fled the campus and gone into hiding and shut down her Facebook page. Student leader Sibongile who is at the Walter Sisulu University (pictured in artist's impression) in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa, is meant to get £85 each month put into her bank account in food and book allowances +3 Student leader Sibongile who is at the Walter Sisulu University (pictured in artist's impression) in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa, is meant to get £85 each month put into her bank account in food and book allowances Miss Mani told the Daily Daily Dispatch: 'It is very clear that I didn't make the error.' Walter Sisulu University spokeswoman Yonela Tukwayo said the payment did not affect other students saying: 'All students who were due to receive NSFAS payments got them. 'She will have to repay the money'. Intellimali chief executive Michael Ansell said: 'Legal action will be taken against the student. A forensic investigator had been appointed.' The university has 30,500 students of whom 18,000 are funded by the NSFAS who are meant to spend their monthly grants on food and books. Legal experts have said Miss Mani could face a charge of theft. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4839544/Student-goes-spree-mistakenly-receiving-850-000.html cc lalasticlala

Religion / What Does This Mean by Rollwitu(f): 2:07pm On Dec 31, 2016 |
Okay, as u can see in the pics, there is a club (the nipples) right next to a church. I personally found it funny because the club was there before the church. The area is a motorpark and full of clubs and such, I don't even go thier at night but I was told they still hold night vigil in the church. Now what do u think about this, am not Christian so guys please fill me in. My friend thinks it's completely okay. Cc lalasticlala

v. Abeokuta Located in Ogun State, Abeokuta is the ancient city of the Egbas, the Ijebus, and others descended from a common ancestry. The Olumo Rock is the main feature of Abeokuta, and the name literarily means “under the stone/rock” to depict how its ancient people hid in rocks during ancient tribal wars. It is a very traditional place to live in with lots of fascinating attractions to delight the eyes and mind. Living in this city is cheap because of abundant houses and food supplies, and it also hosts a people warm toward one another. The road network is averagely good and power supply is stable. The security is also good and there is very low rate of crime in the city, with everyone acting as vigilante to the other. There are hotels and guest houses to cater to your lodging, and recreational facilities to meet your needs. Business opportunities here could be drab just like in Ibadan, but the people manage to get by. There is no major airport, but transportation by land is never a problem clarification I am not Yoruba, am Hausa Secondly it's a repost so not my personal view But original author gave some strong points, that's why I asked if you all agreed or not And it's not tribalistic thing because if I was I wouldn't have posted a topic like this with no single northern state (counting Abuja as middlebelt) 33 Likes 2 Shares

iv. Benin City Benin City, in Edo State is regarded as the city of peace and hope – the cradle of the Bini and Edo peoples. It is known for its cultural artifacts and traditional way of life. It is one of the safest cities to live in within Nigeria with very low crime rates, although the people could be desperate when it comes to money and business competition. The security is good in the state and the people generally good-natured. Living condition in Benin City is on the high side, but they enjoy average power supply and business opportunities are high. It is a serene city to dwell in, and there are number of hotels and lodging to cater to your accommodation needs. There is high security in the state from police departments, although pockets of violence, ritual killings, and robberies still manage to occur from time to time. The road network is good and there appears to be an airport, but much more than all, it is one of the best places to live in Nigeria. 24 Likes 2 Shares

iii. Ibadan Ibadan is an ancient, laid back city in Oyo State – the center of the Pan Yoruba race. Ibadan is much more serene and peaceful and even very dull compared to Lagos. It has all the trappings of an ancient city, but it is more or less the biggest city in West Africa. Business is always dull in Ibadan, and it is a dead city from the perspectives of those struggling all their lives in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. Housing is very cheap in Ibadan, except in GRAs and areas dominated by wealthy industrialists. The road network was terrible, but has now been greatly improved under the previous and current administrations. Power supply is terrible and affects businesses here, but people manage to get by with power generators. Ibadan is the most peaceful city in Nigeria and the cheapest to live in in terms of acincommodation, lodging, food, and basic necessities of life. The first university in Nigeria – the University of Ibadan, is located here, and the standardized UCH is here. There is no more any active airport in Ibadan, but it is very safe and serene to live in. Business opportunities also abound in the city, but this cannot be compared to Lagos or Abuja. 22 Likes 2 Shares
