So the history of the two-state solution started with Yitzak Rabin according to you? I like the way you guys lie to propagate your religion. Who would have a nation and suicide bombers and not take the sort of precaution Israel is taking? Palestinian desire for an independed state is simply a ploy by Muslims to have a lauchpad to attack and annihilate israel just like they did last October. 4 wars and dozens of uprisings and you expect israel not to take precautions? I have small sense to lend. The guys was saying that Yitzak Rabin Wanted to accept the proposed 2SS but he was killed for supporting the agenda. 2 Likes |

Phones / Re: My Bro Was Charged 1.4million To Clear Iphone 15 & I-watch From DHL Ikeja by tolugar: 9:51am On Mar 20 |
Alphamentips: **This post is for only those who have had the experience and can advise better*** Don't comment ANYTHING if you have no progressive input to make.
So my bro's iphone 15 entered Ikeja Int'l Airport and it has been seized by 'Customs' and now 'NDLEA' according to them.
They are asking for N1.4meter as clearance fee. And i'm confused as why? He even went ahead (before reporting the case to me) to contract another customs officer who doesn't work at the airport and has already paid the sum of 800k yet the phone isn't cleared and the contracted customs officer is asking him to pay #100k extra to top up the money.
I'm mad because I've told him b4 now to always use a 3rd party shipping company when importing device or give to friends who are returning from US or CA to bring in while coming back but him no dey too get patience.
>>> NOTE: He has already sent all documents DHL guys asked for including- purchase receipts and every other evidence to show it is legit purchase.
So here are my questions:
My first question is this: Is this an illegal operation because I am willing to take it up with the so called Customs & DHL guys by reporting this to the Lagos State Task Force office. If yes, how do i go about reporting this issue?
I already suggested he contacts the Human Right Activist, Harrison Gwanishnu on IG for help as it clearly feels like a ripoff!
2ndly, is there a procedure to reporting fraud in public offices that will ensure that you get justice?
3rdly, isn't import duties charged based on the weight of the item imported as against the value of the item? 4thly, what is the safest way of importing phones to avoid such issues as this is the 2nd time this is happening.
I suggested asking the shipping company to send it back to US but he'll have to pay like 600k according to the those crooks at the DHL office..
Omo! I just tire
Sorry bro. We all know your brother did not buy the phone. The online friend that claims to send him the phone is the one that generated the DHL docs and are milking him dry. Tell him to count his loss and move on. It's an old scam but still works. 2 Likes |

Guys the percentage Sucess of this trip from Nigeria to Europe is less than 30%.
It's only the few that made it will tell you it's worth it but will fail to tell you how many times they regretted doing it along the route.
It's a journey that takes months sometimes years and what they pass through they will not wish it for their enemies.
If you succeed it will take you more than 8yrs to come back to Nigeria.
It doesn't worth it.

This is way over 500m.
And putting the money directly into your community will write your name in Gold!!!
Not related but I know a royalty in my community that a senator asked his suggestions on what to do for the community apart from solar street lights and the senator was like "in other places you go to, is this how a palace should be?" . The senator ended up building a house and buying a Hyundai suv for the royalty.

Family / Re: My 13 Years Old Has Become Terrible! I Want To Send Her Back To Nigeria by tolugar: 8:41pm On Feb 23 |
Mrperfecto: I will just be brief without writing too much, we are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible , she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home she comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet. I am on my way to work I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys , we had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse , she is behaving like she's possessed. My wife and I are fed up even her siblings are tired of her we want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones , if we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities. Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue? Do her waybill to Nigeria before she kills you Her brain will reset by force. Don't put her in those expensive private schools she will spoil more. Carry her and put in those missionary school but not the hype ones 32 Likes 4 Shares |

Politics / Re: Igbos Celebrate The Hardship In The Country, Demand 8 Years For Tinubu - Pics by tolugar: 7:17pm On Feb 20 |
Nvestor02: Only a mumu that knows nothing about economy will say Tinubu is not performing well... When I sit down and analyze every steps that Tinubu has taken, I come the conclusion that the man is on the right track.
Is either Tinubu return the subsidy, borrow more money and leave the suffering to the next generation
Or
He remove subsidy.... get money to run government by Increasing the internally generated revenue and pass the prosperity to the next generation.
Tinubu decision may be hard to for some citizens to beat especially low income citizens but I believe that Tinubu will increase the minimum wage soon.
The other, problem that Tinubu is facing is insecurity and Floating Naira.... That 2 problems come in the same direction and Tinubu is already tracking it.
Tinubu has declared war against Insecurity by creating a force called FOREST RANGERS that will be combing our forest.
He is also planning to create state police... If insecurity is defeated, Farmers will go back to farm and produce foods for the citizens.
Tinubu has increased state allocations by 41percentage to encourage more infrastructure in every states.
It's only with good infrastructure that food can circulate and building of local production will be possible.
If local Production is possible.... Economy will be diverted from OIL... AND Naira will start gaining weight. From all the challenges you wrote up there, can you elaborate more on how your last paragraph will be achieved. I.e. on local productions |

Business / Re: My Experience After Serving My Oga For 7years Including My Gain And Loss by tolugar: 10:05am On Feb 18 |
weblord1900: So 7+years ago I made this post seeking advice on a journey I was to embark on. . First of all pardon my English, I'm here again to share my experience over the years of my apprenticeship and also the process. I know it's not all part of this country practice this system. It's more prevellent in the east. For me there has been up and down and mostly down. This is something you can never understand until you personally experience it.. It will reshape your entire life especially your mind whether you like it or not.
I left my village by June to meet my Oga in the city. I spent 6months as testing. Like the first 6months were not counted as part of the agreement. I was even lucky because some spend 1year as testing. So I started in 2017 after agreement. This type of agreement just involve your oga coming to meet your parents with few eyewitnesses.. No lawyer or paper to sign. Just verbal agreement ,No fixed price .. They'll only discuss on how long you will work for him or her( the oga or madam).
When I started my Oga is still single so I was doing most of the works in the house including cooking .. We were living very happy .. I was eating very well .if you look at me then the evidence is there 😀 Sometimes my oga will come back with full fried chicken oh oh.. Only me and him .. Things where just smooth .. Fast forward to 2019 my oga decided to my settle down.. I think I use like 4years senior my oga wife. At the first few months his wife was very angelic,calm and gentle. She serve us tea every morning.. Omo how she take change I don't know 🙆🏾♂️ I no offend anybody .. I'm very calm in nature .. My oga follow change too. Nobody day send me again ..
During 2020 covid 19 my eyes saw my ears .. I know things was hard then but mine was hard pro max. From 2018 I started suffering from chronic tonsillitis. I was taking drugs up and down including self medication .. I started noticing change from the way I speak because I don't know if it's the drug or the sickness that's affecting me .. I had no one to tell. By 2021 I gathered courage and told my oga 😪.. He carry me go meet aboki people make he carry scissors chop the two damaged tonsils in my throat .. Them just day price am 3k 5k I day one side day shed tears 😭 . I called someone and told him about everything. He told my oga to take me to a good hospital. The story long sha but at the end I went under tonsillectomy surgery .. I'm now fine
By 2023 which is supposed to be my last year my oga carry another problem come.. The way he was treating me caused problems between some of his brother and sister including some of his friends because they don't like the way he was treating me. They were all encouraging and giving me advice to persevere because I'm almost through its just a temptation. I was settled this February with wetin my mouth not fit talk after serving for 7year chai😭 🤦. You can't even rent a shop with here with the amount I received. I haven't talked about buying the goods in this period every price has sky rocketed. I thank my family and friends it's all good.
Life is a journey ..I still have more opportunities ahead of me. I have seen more than 20 other people that have come to serve but didn't finish. Most of them doesn't last for 2years but I persist because I'm determined for success. With this energy nothing can stop me.
Let me tell you some key points in this system. 1. They don't tell you how much you'll receive at the end. Just be ready to take what you see. 2. It will greatly affect your mental health positively or negatively depending on how you are being treated. 3. There will be alot of temptations and peer pressure if you're not careful you'll be dismissed. 4. If at the end your oga decides not to settle you ,that's all for you. He cannot be procecuted by any law since there is no signed agreement. 5. You'll be blamed for some wrong things you didn't do. 6. There are some common thing you won't be allowed to do.. Like voting during election or going to the football field to play with your friends. You can only be at home or shop. 7. For example if you agreed to work for 5years you might see yourself still working for him after 7years with no settlement. I have seen lot of them.
I'm going to be 28 next month. I have seen and experience more, this is all I can say for now. I can't say i am at loss or profit here because I cherish the experience I gained over the year although I didn't get the finance which made to start the journey at the beginning. If I had money I would have just learn the business for less than a year and start my own but such is life. Some of my classmates are doing well while others never see food chop. Some of the females are married with 2 to 3 children. Mine isn't the worst tho. This life no balance. I just hope this government make things easy for everybody. E come reach my turn to hustle everywhere come red 🔴😂 ..
I thank Seun for Nairaland o.. Na here I day come read everything including the cruise, bash and banter. SEUN abeg check if my story na front page material 😁 What business is that. Maybe some people here or close can patronize you and help grow your business. TB. Your honesty and good heart is the only currency that will make you progress. Pls bank on that.
