HOW TO LINK YOUR BVN (BANK VERIFICATION NUMBER) TO YOUR GTBANK ACCOUNT

Ok, yesterday evening, I wanted to go grab some stuffs from the store. Not having enough money, I decided to make use of the atm. It was about 6pm. The banks were done for the day at that hour. I got to UBA bank’s ATM (closest bank to my place), I inserted my GT bank master card, tried transacting, and I got this error message saying, “INVALID TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER”. A little confused, I concluded it must have been a network issue. So, I tried again, but the same message showed up again. Now I was more annoyed than confused, I had to run to the nearest GT bank ATM available for the fear of being debited. On getting to GT bank ATM, I felt relieved a little. I then inserted my card, but my heart was shattered when I saw the same error message, “INVALID TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER”. Then I was convinced, there was more to it than I imagined. But if I were to have an issue with my ATM, why that faithful evening when I needed to get something I dreamt of all day to use.

To cut the story short, I went to GT bank today a little pissed, by 7am precisely, and I waited till 8am (resumption time). I guess I was the first customer that day. The problem was, I registered my BVN in my second bank, but I didn’t link it to GT bank.
Now straight to the point, to link your GT bank ACCOUNT to your BVN, dial the following code on the phone number you receive your GT bank alert on;

*737*20*BVN#

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE YOUR BVN TO USE THE CODE ABOVE OR YOU CONTACT YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER, LIKE I DID.

And like a wish granted, my master card was unlocked miraculously just by dialing the code, and I transacted successfully.
Now that’s how important your BVN can be, ensure you get yours done, so you won’t go through, what I went through. Especially, when you’re not in the mood.
Happy banking.

The Truth

                          by O.C Davidson

They say the truth is bitter, but how about lies?

   If the truth is bitter, then lies are sweet?.
   Most people know how to twist a story in other to create a lie in defense, they could be used to it and maybe they escape sometimes. But those who are used to  the truth find it difficult to tell lies, no matter how crafty they are. The funny thing is that the lies keep piling up as a lie leads to another, but one who is observant will realise the lie isn't leading anywhere and decide to say the truth.
   But some will also make up their mind about not telling the truth, knowing how it will affect their status in the society if the truth is known. They may also make up their mind to stick to the lie but vow silently not to indulge in anything that will make them tell a lie again.
  A very good truth seeker has an advantage over a lieing individual( especially if the lieing, is not used to telling lies) because the truth seeker is determined to get to the bottom of the situation, while the lieing individual is always under pressure and in thought, thinking of the next step to take, this makes it easier for the truth seeker to pin the lieing individual down as a suspect and the lieing individual stuck between giving up and saying the truth or keep piling up the lies.

Biblically, Lieing  is considered a sin, and truth is considered a liberator. The bible also states, "The truth shall set you free". Yes, the truth shall set you free, but at what sacrifice?. Most times when we commit a crime, and about saying the truth, we think of the sacrifice we are gonna make, if the truth is known and so, we decide against telling the truth, this is were the saying, "Truth is bitter" comes in. And sometimes, when we garner some courage to say the truth, we may actually not end up sacrificing anything, and so, our minds are set free without undergoing troubles.

Fact still remains, when we are in trouble, we are stucked with the fear of saying the truth, especially in deep situations.

Though the truth is a liberator, Can we ever garner enough courage to overcome the fear of saying the truth in all situation?.

WHY SEVEN(7) HOURS OF SLEEP MIGHT BE BETTER THAN MORE ORE LESS

Experts generally recommend seven to nine hours a night for healthy adults. Sleep scientists say new guidelines are needed to take into account an abundance of recent research in the field and to reflect that Americans are on average sleeping less than they did in the past.

Several sleep studies have found that seven hours is the optimal amount of sleep—not eight, as was long believed—when it comes to certain cognitive and health markers, although many doctors question that conclusion.

Importance Of s*xual Moans

The art of s*x is intensely interesting as every person acts and reacts in different ways. Studies have shown that moaning during s*x has mutual benefits for both partners involved in the lovemaking act.

Making love to a motionless and and voiceless mate is like having it with a log of wood or a dead body. No doubt, feedback is important. Otherwise, how can you determine what works for your partner and what does not?
Here are some of the great importance of moaning during s*x:
Assurance of Pleasure
You might be the “soft-moans” type, or the “the-scream-aloud” type and amazingly, and even the facial expressionist but all in all, when any of these s*xual communication methods is used, your partner, one way or the other knows you enjoy he or she is doing you right at that moment.
Oiling the Ego of your man

No man wants to be seen as a failure in the bedroom department. Ladies, each time you moan or communicate sexually to him, you remove some residual insecurities of low self esteem and many more from your man. He goes about the day’s activities fulfilled!
Great and enhanced s*xual lifestyle
Here, the logic is, if you moan or communicate to your partner in your own s*xual way, your partner will from time to time where he/she needs to touch and what he/she needs to do to take you to the desired cloud nine. This. overtime, makes the both of you understand each other’s exact needs and will birth a fulfilled s*x life.
You will get much more
Like the Oliver Twist, when your partner gets “on-the-spot-feedbacks”, he/she tends to want to do more so as to make you get more pleasure. Trust your instincts…he/she would just do more!
Although not all feedbacks or s*x communications need to be vocal, the most important thing is to be genuine and also to know the exact signal your partner uses in getting across to you to avoid frustrations. So, if it is not working, tell your partner how to make it work because you deserve a great s*x life! It is important.

Boko Haram Negotiator Denies Selling Chibok Girls Videos To Foreign Media

Ahmad Salkida, the Maiduguri, Borno State-born journalist who reportedly has strong ties with the dreaded Boko Haram sect has denied reports that he is profiting from Boko Haram insurgency.

Ahmad Salkida

Speaking in an exclusive online chat on Thursday, June 5 Salkida expressed shock over reports making the rounds that he was selling Boko Haram's videos to foreign media.

Salkida said at no time had he traded exclusive Boko Haram videos for money.

“If I want to sell videos I would be a wealthy man because my sources can give me every single one of their videos,” Salkida, who refused to disclose his location, told our journalist via electronic mail.

He described the report as "junk journalism," adding that there were a lot of “media junks” flying around which is specifically targeted at bringing him down.

On his level of involvement in reported negotiations with the insurgents aimed at freeing the Chibok schoolgirls, Salkida said he would not want it to become a media affair.

“I’m not keen on taking my efforts to the media and I am not clarifying anything. I wish you all the best with your work. Goodluck once again,” the Boko Haram negotiator told our correspondent.

According to him, his contribution to finding a lasting solution to the Boko Haram insurgency cannot be paid for by any individual, group or government.

He added that restoring peace in northern Nigeria where he was raised, was utmost and dear to him beyond what his alleged detractors can imagine.

He, however noted that all hands must be on deck to ensure that the Federal Government comes up with a national security roadmap with clearly defined rules of engagement while expressing optimism that the Boko Haram insurgency can be significantly reduced.

Reports surfaced recently that Salkida, the only Nigerian journalist/civilian to have access to Boko Haram was flown in by the Nigerian government to act as negotiator between them and the Boko Haram extremists in the release of the abducted Chibok school girls who have been gone for close to 2 months.
