Nigeria To Sign Visa-free Pact With 8 Countries

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, says plans have been concluded to sign visa-free pacts with a bloc of eight African countries to promote economic partnership on the continent.

Onyeama announced this in Abuja on Tuesday at a news confernce to mark one year of President Mohammadu Buhari’s Administration.

The minister, who did not disclose the names of the countries making up the bloc, noted with concern that trading among African countries had been very low.

He, however, said that with the new idea by the President Mohammadu Buhari led administration, “it is expected that there will be upsurge in economic activities.

“ Africa is the centrepiece of our foreign policy but it is a paradox that as a Nigerian, you cannot go to an African country without a visa unlike what is obtainable in Western Europe.

“To address this as a leader in the continent, the country is at a point of introducing an initiative to promote African trade as part of the country’s foreign policy of Africa as the centrepiece”, he said.

Onyeama said Nigeria was trying to come up with an initiative, like the one in Western Europe where one could enter any sister country without a visa.

According to him, what we are trying to do at the ministry is to promote visa-free, free movement of business people.

“We want to start with about eight countries or see if they come up as a group of eight countries. At the presidential level, they agreed to that, and signed up to free movement.

“If we can achieve that within a year, then other countries may want to join and we believe this is a better way to go than institutional ECOWAS etc, as countries take so long to ratify agreements.

“We believe we can just start off, eight countries and they agree among themselves, then others will come in,” he said.

Onyeama also added that it would not help if the continent continued to export just raw materials to developed nations.

He said the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment was working towards enhancing doing business with ease in Nigeria.

Onyeama said the ministry was working with the immigration to see rise in the number of visa issued to businessmen and investors

“It is one of the cardinal strategies for the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to facilitate investors doing business in Nigeria”, he said.

Onyeama said the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment had been mandated to ensure that there was reduction in the time it took to register companies.

My Bad Experience with a branch of Access Bank

My bad exprience with Access bank customer service yesterday. I took a night bus from lagos to abuja when I got a message that I should proceed to kaduna for one or two reason, I have family members living in kaduna but was not having much on me to buy some gift for my brothers and inlaw, so I decided to follow the bus I took from abuja to command junction, after then a keke to kachia Road.

I got to the bank trying to get a withdrawal slip, I could not find one and i approach a lady to ask "may I know where I can find the withdrawal slip" and she said to me don't u have an ATM. She just angrily directed me to another lady, and she too asked me rudely; where is your ATM. I said I was travelling and I ran out of cash and I am in need of money but she told me i can't withdraw with the slip and I should enroll for another ATM. I told her i can't and after that I requested for a transfer form then she directed me to another lady.

The lady @ the transfer deck asked me what kind of phone I am using to which i answered Nokia 206. After some minute of filling the form, I asked her the time I will receive a notification and she said she can't say but it has been done.

MY OBSERVATIONS And REASON FOR PORTING OUT
1. They all lacked politness and courtsey
2. They don't value their customer
3. Non challant attitude
4. Poor customer experience and engagement
5. They all don't care if u stay or leave

12 Catégories Of Fans/persons You Are Sure To See In A Football Viewing Center

Football is one the most uniting factors in Nigeria, it is the most viewed sport worldwide, A game most people love to watch outside their homes even though they have DSTV at home.
Football viewing centers help to promote this unity and oneness and then is no doubt that this centers is a melting pot of different characters............ .. .. Without much ado, let me present to you 12 kinds of persons/fans/characters you are likely to encounter in a football viewing center.

(1)THE TALKATIVES : You are sure to develop headache if you seat close to this set of people because of their endless bickering, they can't just shut up and watch the match(NEVER!). They say things like Messi is better than Ronaldo, Musa is better than Neymar(WTF!!).

(2) THE CHAMELEON FANS: They support whichever team wins, they may come to the viewing center as a Chelsea fan and leave as a man city fan(hoes ain't loyal)

(3) THE SLEEPERS: They come to the center all vibrant and enthusiastic, 20minutes into the match they are snoring already, they only wake when they hear the shouts of goooooaaaaaalllll!! and go back to their slumber (odi egwu)!

(4) THE LOYALISTS/FANATICS/DIE HARD FANS :They exude passion and emotion, have unwavering support for their team, they never badmouth any player or manager in their team no matter the situation even if they are losing 10-0.....you will hear words like "we are still in the game", "it is not over until it is over" (Egbon... . E don over jare)

(5) THE ANALYSTS/STATISTICIANS: They can analyze a match better than supersport anchor Robert Marawa, they question every decision taken by the referees, linesman even managers. They back up their claims with flawless stats. They make remarks like..... .. . "that wasn't a deliberate handball in the box, the referee shouldn't have awarded a penalty" (I wonder how they know it wasn't deliberate), "last season, Kante won 57% of his tackles, has a passing accuracy of 84%, and made a total of 1234 passes(jesu !, I wonder how they keep track of this)

(6) THE CLUB BASHERS :They are the comedian of the center, any football viewing center without them is redundant, they will always give you a reason to laugh even if your club is on the losing side, they can troll your club like madt.

(7)THE GAMBLERS: Nairabetters, 9jabetters, merrybetters, 360betters fall into this category, it is only this category that can rejoice when his team loses. They make statements like "Oboy, my bet Don cast" "I play this game x2.. . Oooo"

( THE FOOTBALL ENCYCLOPAEDIAS: They can tell you the names of almost all the leagues and clubs in the world, from the English Premier League down to the Azerbaijanese league, they can still tell u the year the clubs was formed, the biography of footballers and that of even their spouse (I dey fear this people)

(9)THE ECONOMISTS: They apply the concept of opportunity cost before going to watch matches. They say things like "the second half na where dem dey score goal pass, so I go watch only second half and save #20 instead of wasting #50.

(10) THE BALANCE SHEET REVIEWERS: They know the assets and liabilities of virtually all their favourite footballers, their salary structure, and weekly wages. They can give you the value in Naira, Dollar, and Pounds( I salute this category)

(11) THE MUTE SQUAD: They sit with their arms folded, eyes glued to the screen, no talking, they show no passion nor emotion. Sometimes I wonder if they are watching the game or the game is watching them.

(12) THE MOCKERS: They are different from the BASHERS in the sense that they are just there to laugh at anyone whose team is losing (e dey pain sha...). The sound and style of their laughter is what hurt most.

What category are you?

8 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR RELAEIONSHIP

"Am a Relationship person".. That's my favourite line. But that's BTW.

You struggle so hard to get this your dream girl. Along the line, after the sexual exploits day in day out, the hanging out and other things. Both of you have run out of ideas and the relationship is becoming boring. Breakup is all that comes to your mind.
A relationship, as we all know, is the connection between two or more people, But in this case, the relationship is between you and your partner; when you are in a relationship, you are emotionally involved  or connected to your partner.
And of course, every relationship needs refueling and it also needs re-boosting to spice up the atmosphere at a point in time.
Here are 8 simple ways to boost your relationship:

1.Surprise your partner by doing a task you do not normally do: this task may be taking out the trash or cleaning the bathtub etc.

2.Compliment your partner’s parent: “I love how your Dad makes friends wherever he goes”; “I love how your Mom always asks after my family.”

3.Compliment one of your partner’s friends: “I really admire how smart Kunle or Dolapo is.” Why? It shows you think your partner has good taste in friends.

4.Use a nickname you have stopped using: Think back to the start of your relationship to any affectionate nicknames you used to use but have stopped using.

5.Do something fun you used to do together that you have stopped doing: Maybe you used to play Monopoly when you first started dating, or maybe you used to take a walk outside for ice cream after dinner. (The activity may take longer than a minute, but the suggestion won’t; it will take less than a minute.)

6.Thank your partner for something you usually take for granted: “Thanks for cleaning off the plates again, sweetie.”

7.Bring up a positive memory of something you did together: “I was just thinking about how fun it was to pick out plants together last weekend.”You know the positive memory you have had with your partner. Try and bring them out once again to spice up your relationship.
All this act goes a long way in the relationship and it will definitely make your partner appreciate you much better.
Please add your own ideas

Goodluck to all partners all over the world.

AFTERMATH BUHARI'S VICTORY

Okay now, when Mr Goodluck was amassing votes left, right and centre in 2011, no one was talking about
Nigeria been divided along tribal lines. When he was cancelling out Mr Buhari in Suleja, Ogbomosho, Isale Eko etc in 2011, we never heard chants of the ethnic bigots.

But now that his ass is being flogged from Potiskum to Ilorin, down to Ajegunle, some numbskulls are now bringing out their vuvuzela to remind us that Nigeria is divided along tribal lines.
Abeg carry your bigotry dey go! We say this govt is clueless, you are telling me we don't like him because he's Ijaw.

If you are not happy, you have a choice. You can relocate to Okerenkoko and elect Goodluck as Ijaw
President!
Mscheeew!
