..Please shut up....when he was yet to take any action you people were condemning him and said he should take action,now he took action you are still nagging.....even if Jesus Christ is your president you will still complain..

It will be more expensive for u to buy just 50 pieces even direct from source. Someone is already importing that item in hundreds of thousands in container loads.

It will always be cheaper to buy from them.

BiafranNigerian:
I am ready to accommodate him, if no one else will. I see nothing wrong in being imperfect in society's standards. I see nothing wrong in sowing his wild oats, I also see nothing wrong in Tiwa escapades. Everything is good. We need to spare these guys, cos within many homes people do worst things.

cocktopuss:
That cocaine comment Tiwa made would hunt teebillz for the rest of his life if he stays in Naija. He need to do somthing quick. Its better he leaves the country ASAP start a new Life.

freecocoa:
Haba! Mama, Tbillz messed up but it's Banky's house and friend na.

I don't like parents who are too meddlesome.

mekaboy:
Find importers of the product and buy from them.

Vikings007:
2sexy, You & I know that 200k is outrageous. There re so many chinese importers on nairaland, You could have simply asked them? see as You dey waste Seun's nairaland bandwidth.

#Just kidding, b4 You con break my head on whatsapp.

Lordtrillion:


¥1 is equivalent to #50 going by the black market rate
¥30 = #1500
If you're to ship the item using Nigerian Shipping agents & you want to use 24hrs Express shipping
Average charge is $9 per kg & a clearing charge of #450
Therefore
2kg x $9 = $18
Taking #325 as the shippers exchange rate
325 x 18 = #5850
For clearing charge
450 x 2 = #900
Total cost to buy & ship your item will be
1500 + 5850 + 900 = #8250
Just budget 10k for everything. The person who told you 200k+ was probably pulling your legs

and teeb a case study

Nwodibo Ekechukwu, the commissioner of police for Enugu state, says the killings of nine people in Nimbo community was carried out by suspected herdsmen.

This appears to contradict a statement released by the state police on Wednesday saying that the killers were “mere hoodlums”.

“First of all, let me extend my condolence to the families, it is painful to us and we would get to the root of the matter,” he said in an interview with Channels TV.

“The present situation is that one more person died and two additional corpses were discovered, making the death toll nine, and nine people are also injured and still receiving treatment at the hospital.

“Well, the allegation, the suspicion is that they are herdsmen. The suspicion is that they are herdsmen. We are working on that, at the appropriate time, their full identity will be disclosed.”

He said the killings were done in cold blood in the community while farmers tried to make their means from early hour farming.

“The genesis was that on the 25th between 6:30 and 7:00am, the suspected herdsmen invaded Nimbo community, Enugu state.

“They came through the bushes and while coming through the bushes, they slaughtered people in a most barbaric manner. In their farms. Those who went early to farm.

“They decided to slaughter them, so that they would not use gunshot in a way that would attract the attention of law enforcement.

“Eventually, they came to the fringes of the town, they burnt one house with a vehicle contained in a garage, then of course a bus nearby.

“By the time our men noticed what was happening, they went there and exchange gunfire with them, successfully repelled them with some of them carrying bullet wounds.”

President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the police, at a book launch on Wednesday, to bring the perpetrators to book.

How true is this?
Has it been verified?

Deji Akinwande, a professor at the University of Texas Austin, is one Nigerian scaling hurdles, pushing boundaries and breaking stereotypes.

Akinwande has been identified by President Barack Obama, as one of the recipients of “the highest honour bestowed by the US government for science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers”.

Alongside 104 researchers, he will receive the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers in Washington DC later in the year.

“These early-career scientists are leading the way in our efforts to confront and understand challenges from climate change to our health and wellness,” Obama said while announcing the winners.

“We congratulate these accomplished individuals and encourage them to continue to serve as an example of the incredible promise and ingenuity of the American people.”

WHO IS DEJI AKINWANDE?

Akinwande is an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering and the Jack Kilby/Texas instruments endowed faculty fellow in computer engineering in the Cockrell school of engineering at the university of Texas at Austin.

EDUCATION

Akinwande graduated from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, bagging a double degree (B.S/M.S) in electrical engineering and applied physics.

His master’s research in applied physics pioneered the design and development of near-field microwave probe tips for non-destructive imaging and studies of materials.

He had his PhD degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2009, conducting research on the synthesis, device physics, and circuit applications of carbon nanotubes and graphene.

INVENTION

According to Akinwande Nano Research Group, the professor is known for his groundbreaking research on nanomaterials, sensors, devices and flexible technology.

He is considered one of the top researchers in the world in the areas of graphene, silicon electronics and 2-D nanomaterials for use in flexible electronics.

In 2015, Akinwande created the first transistor out of silicene – the world’s thinnest silicon material – and he is continuing to advance the capabilities of computer chips and other electronics.

Jobless ugly old man you can never mind your useless and worthless Imo state for once. Did OP mention any particular state? Your Imo state has been given ultimatum to pay the several months of outstanding salaries owed to mostly poor Imolites but it does not bother you one bit. Life must be really miserably shabby for you.! Tufia!

It is Anambrians that create that impression of Igbos. Even within Igboland itself they can do anything demeaning to other Igbos and promote themselves.

FreeGlobe:
2sexycom I understand your concerns but this is an unharmful post. So we shouldn't celebrate a young bright chap because of not wanting to be politically correct? I wanted to correct the wrong notion that only it's only Fela and Femi Kuti that are Nigerians to have been nominated for Grammys. And besides about not only the guy writing the song is not an issue..

kobonaire:
Madam the madam : It's a matter of cash!

Drchristian:
The designer of d visual album is a Nigerian but a yoruba, and d visual art is Osun's pose (yoruba goddess).
Beyonce and jay z has been inspired by fela kuti amongst other yoruba's culture in d album lemonade...You can see d ORI paintings in her visual arts they are all yorubas.

Yorubas don't carry matter 4 head as you people go dey do.

The transformation in just 3 months is amazing. Handsome dude too.

That little boy is a born fighter and will move on to greater things in life.

God bless the aid worker who rescued him.

HUMPHERY:
Story created to divert attention!! Lately, there is this suspicion that Boko boys are now disguised as herdsmen, so the story was created as part of the moves to difuse the suspicion. For over the years of existence of Boko haram, this is the first am getting from the news quarters that Boko haram killed fulani herdsmen! Hope I have witness in the house....
