Peter Obi represents hope that Nigeria can still be fixed

Person go carry en money go buy and pay for problem all be say you one stay lekki ni! Epa mi o!!

That's the problem of black people. There's so much poverty in the land and everyone wants to impress or oppress others.

If the coalition wins the next election, they should build a truly Nigerian government where the vast majority of Nigerians are given the chance to work for the country. Don't try that Emilokan nonsense. Nigeria is a country of over 300 tribes.

The same Seyi with the Pope here? 😂 😂 😂


Obidients no go ever rest!

The person in that picture is not Pope Leo.

Popes don't even dress like that.

It is people like this dude that is killing your forum @Seun

Don't waste your time. Nairaland has already become a shitty forum. They need folks like that to keep it going

The guy needs to inject huge funds into this business to promote and scale it.

He wants to acquire the property.

They want to acquire the property.

I don't understand why some people learn a language for over 10 years and still struggle with writing it.

That's why many countries demand that Nigerians provide English proficiency tests before getting PR and university issions.

Whats stopping them from creating trillions of robots and invading the entire universe?

For three major reasons:
1. It will cost them a lot of money
2. The world will unite against them and deal with them ruthlessly
3. If you are building robots, you don't know what other countries are building. In fact, there are reports that the US military technology is about 10 years ahead of today's technology. The US dominates almost everything, but little or nothing is known of their military might because they are keeping it a secret.

The world should get ready! Unless we use policies to limit the application of Artificial Intelligence, AI will take almost all the jobs!

In Japan, robots started performing funeral rites long ago and those who patronise their services say it's cheaper than those of Buddhist priests. If robots can perform religious rituals, what else is left?

What's special about his bride that he left DJ Cuppy for her? Aside from being a celebrity daughter of a billionaire, DJ Cuppy is a likeable and sweet soul! Anyways, congratulations to the couple! 👏👏

OctavianAC:
I beg Pope Leo, I had that you are a kind of Charismatic and prayerful priest. Please, don't forget to lay hands on our President. Cast the spirit of snatching and running away from him.

IMO, "real charismatic priests" like Father Mbaka shouldn't be allowed to have parishes. These kinds of priests are supposed to be touring the country, holding special prayer programmes (crusades) and performing exorcism.

Black Africans, especially people from southern Nigeria, don't want to stop fetish practices and such priests play a key role in attacking such evil practices.

IamPatriotic:


This one is attended, strictly by invitation. He can't be invited to where world Leaders are gathered.

Oga, rest! You keep your comments around topics that you understand. Una think say Peter Obi na una mate?

Peter Obi is a papal knight of the Catholic Church. That's a title given to excellent achievers who have reached 55 years and above, but Obi broke the rule and got it at 53.

If he wants to attend that event, he doesn't need an invitation. Perhaps you haven't seen him visiting the Vatican regularly. Don't be surprised if he attends the event anyways.

We all should be worried sick!

Nairaland has started sharing this blog's fake stories! 😁😁😁

Tinubu is more interested in settling politicians than getting results. Apart from being a former governor, Mohammed Badaru has never done anything related to defence in his life. So, nobody should expect any results from him.

Every government needs money to function. So, asking Nigerians in diaspora to pay only $50 for a new BVN isn't a big deal. They should have their own NIN too.

Foreigners should have their own BVN and NIN too. That way, we know the actual population both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. In fact, government should start arresting people who don't have NIN!

Nigerians in the diaspora will be required to pay N80,000 ($50) to obtain a Non-Resident Bank Verification Number (NRBVN) remotely, according to findings by Nairametrics following the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) recent launch of the NRBVN platform.

The CBN, in collaboration with the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS), launched the NRBVN platform to simplify the process for Nigerians living abroad to obtain their Bank Verification Number (BVN) remotely, eliminating the need for in-person verification.

The NRBVN initiative is seen as a major milestone in the CBN’s efforts to expand financial inclusion and integrate the Nigerian diaspora into the country’s economic activities.

In contrast to the required $50 fee payment for Nigerians living abroad, BVN registration is completely free for Nigerians who are living in the country.

Registration Process
To get an NRBVN, intending applicants are to visit nrbvn.com and sign up with their email address and . After inputting that information, they will be required to get a verified QR code from Google Authenticator.

When that process is successful, they will be asked to the new through a message sent to the email address used to . Clicking the link from the email address, they will be required to with the and directed to the and conditions page.

Next is the ‘consent’ page where applicants need to click on ‘accept’. From there, they will be directed to select type among three options – Nigerian, no BVN; Nigerian, BVN; Nigerian by Descent.

After clicking on ‘Nigerian, no BVN’, the next page will display a list of required documents needed, which include a Nigerian port (valid or expired), proof of foreign residency (Valid Foreign port, Residence Permit, Green Card etc.), and a utility bill, all compulsory.

Other optional requirements are a work permit and/or proof of employment, proof of tax payment in the country of residence, and foreign bank statements.

Clicking on ‘next’ will take applicants to the application fee payment page, where it is clearly stated that “to finalize your registration, a payment of US$50 is required to process your application.”

By clicking ‘next’, you will be redirected to Tazapay’s secure payment gateway to complete your application fee payment.

Once the fee is paid and confirmed, applicants can then proceed to submit all required documents, enter personal details like name, address, and date of birth, and then click on ‘submit’.

Applicants will then undergo a liveness test to match their image with the provided documents and information. The next step will be to the phone number using an OTP sent to the phone number provided.

After that, the ‘summary’ page will display, containing all the applicant’s information. Once applicants confirm the information is correct, they can then submit.

Ambitious $1 Billion Monthly Remittance Target
The CBN has set an ambitious target of $1 billion in monthly remittance flows, further boosting Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves.

According to data obtained from the CBN, direct remittance inflows into Nigeria totalled $1.92 billion in 2024, reflecting a slight decline from the $1.98 billion recorded in the previous year.

CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, expressed confidence that this goal is achievable, citing the increasing trust and convenience of formal remittance channels.

The launch of the NRBVN platform is expected to reduce the high cost of remittances, making remittance services more accessible and cost-effective for Nigerians abroad.

Reactions from Nigerians in the Diaspora
Nigerians resident abroad have reacted to the latest development with divergent opinions. While some believe the $50 fee is fair, others see it as a desperate move by the CBN to generate revenue for the government.

“I’ve flown from London to Nigeria to just go and do my BVN and get my bank working,” Ikechukwu told Nairametrics.

“I think it’s fair in the sense that the option you’ve got is traveling back to Nigeria to do your BVN, and if you check the cost of your return flight ticket just to go and do your BVN, you will agree that it is fair.”

However, Tope sees it differently. He believes that there are other ways the government can make money.

“I think this is just a desperate move to generate revenue for the government. This same thing is done for free in Nigeria, why charge a fee for those living abroad, do they think we are plucking money here?” He queries.

What you should know

In addition to BVN registration, the new platform provides access to Non-Resident Ordinary s (NROA) and Non-Resident Nigerian Investment s (NRNIA), offering diaspora Nigerians a wider range of financial services. These services include access to savings, mortgages, insurance, pensions, and investment opportunities in Nigeria’s capital markets.

Under the current regulations, Nigerians in the diaspora will have the flexibility to repatriate the proceeds from their investments. This is expected to enhance the attractiveness of Nigeria’s capital markets and create more investment opportunities for Nigerians living abThe platform also incorporates global standards for security and compliance. Every NRBVN registration undergoes thorough verification checks to ensure the integrity of the financial system.

At this point, the handwriting on the wall is crystal clear, but your reverend father of a governor is more interested in playing politics

Bendeco02:


Whether they know or not, Nigerians case are always different.

They always abuse the privilage giving to them

I am not making excuses for anyone, but humans are natural opportunists. Economics teaches us that resources are scarce and humans are competing for limited resources. So, whenever people see opportunities to better their lives, they grab it.

BTW, nobody leaves their countries like Indians and Pakistanis. They have the highest population of migrants in most developed countries. You only think that Nigerians migrate more because you are in the Nigerian social media space.

Helinuse:
Nigerians are funny

They must just abuse everything. And the worse part is that they see their abuse* as a privilege.

I mean,
Why apply for a school when the intent is to flood the country with your people.

And you think these countries don't know that immigrants are moving to their countries through education? They know. All countries, except African countries, are building knowledge economy.

They just opened that window because they need skilled population. When they have enough, they'll close it. That's exactly what's happening in the UK now.

This is exactly what Nigerian politicians want. Weaponize poverty so we can use them to do whatever we want!

But your children ed the military clear-headed. They knew what they signed up for. Nobody forced them to . What were they thinking?

Things never spoil. Times are harder now. Kindness level has dropped significantly because most people are struggling to survive. Tinubu and his brother, Buhari, have together ruined this country.

That's not true. They freely come into Nigeria because the northern states welcome them, calling them their brothers. Meanwhile, they have no grazing lands to give them for rearing cattle. That's why the marauders move southwards in search of grassland for their cattle.

If those northerners were reporting them, they got jailed and deported to their country after 5 years imprisonment, none of them would consider coming into Nigeria without valid documents. Those who have no cattle to rear become kidnappers.

We were losing 5% of our GDP on fuel subsidy—money going to just a few, Mr President took the courageous step to end it.”

Can these people stop telling this silly lie?

All Nigerians were directly and indirectly benefiting from the fuel subsidy. That's why its removal skyrocketed the prices of everything.

Since I have known Uganda and Cameroun, they have only had one president! I trust Nigerians! You cannot try that NONSENSE here!

If Osun people love their governor, why should anyone else criticise his love for dancing?

Reno keeps defending stupidity because he's incredibly fuuulish! I don't blame him though since it pays his bills.

Sharpsharp00123:
so Tinubu have used 8 years as president right?

Read the article again and see that it explained what he did as a governor. That's the emphasis of that comment.

As for his current performance, only tribalists and apologists say he's doing well. Others unanimously say that his performance has been abysmal, to say the least.

Una no just get shame! Just imagine what a so-called visionary leader achieved in 8 years. Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have.
