Dangrace01:
Looks like a Robert kiyosaki lecture.

From the history of money. Gold was used as money before paper money came into existence. Previously every American dollar was to represent Gold in vault. In 1971 America moved out of the gold standard and started printing paper money backed by nothing.

So the Op is making sense. We have to stop calling our currency 2nd class currency because American dollar is just piece of paper it's us that is giving their dollar value.

You can imagine because of Corona Virus. America printed 2 trillion dollars. Somebody just printed money from thin air, it's d same money they would borrow us and we would pay with interest

I don't know the problem with we blacks we have the gold, why don't we store gold and print our money ourselves making it have real value.

China has a very large store of gold. Nigerian government supposed to do same. Gold is the real money forget paper
What exactly are we going to gain by storing the gold. I am not disputing your assertion, just want to learn.
BusinessRe: Vietnam Stopped Issuing Visas To West African Travellers Because Of Ebola by Alkason: 2:28pm On May 05, 2020
iykbethany:
I dont know if I should make a new thread or post this here. But several people have contacted me requesting for info on how to get Vietnam visa or what items they could buy and make profit in Nigeria, i want to put all info here so that people will be able to do it by themselves, but if theres any way my assistance is needed then i will help.

This info is for genuine business people who wants to travel to Vietnam to buy items which they want to resell in Nigeria. For those who wants to travel overseas for hustling, please dont contact me as I am not a visa agent. Vietnam is a poor country, theirs nothing to hustle in South East Asia. Its this hustling thing that is landing our brothers in jail. Four Nigerian brothers were executed in Indonesia last week, what a painful way to die, a lot more are on death row in many countries, and thousands are serving different jail terms in many Asia countries.

Now straight to topic. As a Nigerian who wants to travel to Vietnam to buy things especially clothes, shoes etc, to get Vietnam visa a Vietnam based company MUST send you Visa Invitation/Approval Letter which you will take to the Vietnamese embassy in ABUJA to get your visa. The Vietnam based company will process the visa in Vietnam with their company documents, they will write that you are one of their customers coming to Vietnam to buy goods, it takes between 5 to 7 days to process the visa in Vietnam. Once the visa is approved in Vietnam, the Vietnam contact will mail you copy of the visa approval letter which you will take to Vietnam embassy to collect your visa. Once you arrive at the Vietnam embassy you submit the visa approval letter together with your passport, within 2 hours the visa will be stamped on your passport.

The most important document is the INVITATION /APPROVAL LETTER from a company in Vietnam, the visa is processed in Vietnam and the visa approval copy faxed to Abuja by the Vietnam foreign ministry. All you have to do is take copy of the approval letter to Abuja together with your passport and visa fee. Nothing like bank statements or taxes or any document. VIETNAM VISA IS PROCESSED in Vietnam by the person or company that is inviting you. you dont have any role to play, when visa is approved in Vietnam the person or company in Vietnam will send you approval copy to take to Abuja to collect your visa, no question is asked, no other document is required in Abuja other than the visa approval copy and your passport and visa fee.

CONDITION: You can source your own company that will process visa for you. But if you must use my contacts to get visa then my contacts will demand that they ship your goods for you, that's their benefit for giving visa assistance. The companies I work with are shipping companies owned by Nigerians living in Vietnam. The shipping cost from Vietnam to Nigeria is $5 per kilo, this is what every other company charge. The sad thing is, many people disturb me when they need visa, but once they receive the visa they change their number and never contact me again. For this reason my contacts are not interested to give visa assistance to anyone.

AIRLINE: Many airlines go to Vietnam, there is Turkish Airways, Emirates, Ethihad Airways etc. Personally I prefer Emirates though their fares are a little bit higher.

AIRFARE: As you know Airfare changes almost everyday like forex. So to know the exact cost of airfare just go to any travel agency in your city and confirm, or you go to any Turkish or Emirates airlines office nearest to you.

SHIPPING COMPANIES TO USE: I have 5 different shippers/cargo companies that i work with. I use only the best. Some companies are slow, you give them goods today and in 1 week you still never receive your goods in Nigeria. But some companies will deliver within 3 days.

HOTELS: Hotels are extremely cheap in Vietnam. There are many 3 star hotels for $20 per night. My preferred hotels are Hotel Tien Phu, Ngoc Hoi. Contact me for more hotel names.

TAXIS: Most Vietnam Taxis do not speak English, your hotel or agent should be the one to arrange taxi for you. I have only 2 taxi drivers that speak English. Every taxi has a meter so no cheating.

Please note that I am not a visa agent, I just help people who want to travel with my vast international connections. I give this info/assistance free of charge coz freely i receive and freely i give. Whatever you need just contact me, I am ready to help within my capacity. If you want to buy or source items directly from Manufacturers, warehouses, wholesalers etc just let me know, i will connect you to some trusted contacts on ground in Vietnam. During my first visit to Vietnam I wasted lots of money to so called agents bc i was a novice then. For instance, the first agent i worked with was charging me 50 cents per whatever item i buy. For example, lets say he took me to a shop where i buy 200 pairs of shoes, i paid him 50 US cents times by 200. You do the maths. Same thing if i buy 200 pieces of ladies wears, he gets 50 cents per wear. Later on i meet honest people who are ready to help with very little fee. With me you wont make same mistake. Just mention what items you want to buy, i have boys that will take you shopping for days or weeks, when you are returning to Nigeria you give them whatever fee you feel comfortable with. truth is, if you treat them well next time they will be happy to assist/shop with you, but if you are stingy next time you wont see their break light.

WHAT NIGERIANS USUALLY SHIP FROM VIETNAM: When it comes to highest quality clothes/shoes at the cheapest prices no country comes close to Vietnam. Vietnam is the number one choice for anything FASHION. I have imported clothes/shoes from many countries like Hong Kong, China, Turkey, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, India etc before i settled with Vietnam. So the following items you could buy and make money in Nigeria; clothes, shoes, football, tiles, furniture, bullet proof doors, sanitary wares, diapers, energy bulbs, aluminum products etc.

HOW MUCH TO START WITH: Many people have asked me this question and I dont think I am the one to tell you how much money to start a business with? Let me break down some of the expenses so that you will have an idea of how much money to start with. To get the visa will cost you around 500 or 600$, airfare is around $1,200 (more or less) depending on which airline you use, food/hotel/ground transportation will cost you another $300 depending on how many days/weeks you stay in Vietnam. Now do the maths. Apart from your expenses money, if you are traveling that far to buy clothes you should keep at least $4,000 minimum to buy your items. This $4,000 is excluding your expenses money like flight/hotel etc. Not that you cant start with less amount, but my opinion is for someone to travel that far and spend all these money for flight and everything you must have enough capital to buy goods, bc the more items you buy, the more profit you make. Am sure by now you will know how much money to travel with?

Finally, i want to give personal advise as a Nigerian brother. If you plan of going to Vietnam to buy or sell drugs please stop now because there is 99% chance you will be caught. Cocaine business is touch and die in Asia. If you are on Facebook, open the Facebook page of Cambodian or Vietnam Drug Law enforcement agency, you will see the sheer number of our brothers serving different jail terms in Vietnam and Cambodia. So many of them are serving 35 years in prison.

If there's any info I didn't remember today I will add later. if you have questions feel free to ask.

Can you help someone buy and ship to Nigeria?

Stay safe and best regards.

Mstick:
Anybody with a brain knows that thread was created to massage the ego of Nigerian men.

Nigerian men like to praise themselves and make it look like women from other continents are falling over themselves to date them but believe me it's 100% false.

Black men are just the worst honestly, you see them opening threads upon threads insulting and humiliating black women but you would NEVER see men from other races do that. Are their women perfect? NO! but they respect and protect them anyway.

The reason why most of this black men go after white women is because of the standard the white men set for their own women, they built a country and environment where there women can thrive meanwhile our own men are still here debating if we're allowed to serve them garri with one meat.

Debating whether their wives should serve them garri with one meat got me cracked.
1 Naija men are revered by women if other race, this is a fact

2. Naija men should learn to respect our women and via Versa
3. Naija ladies abroad should also be open to marrying guys at home as the men are doing.

May God help us
TravelRe: I Need Your Migration Advice Please, I'm About To Make A Life Changing Decision. by Alkason: 8:06pm On Apr 03, 2020

For Canada:
The most convenient method is to apply to a certificate program that lasts 18-24 months. These programs are usually relatively cheap and you could pay for them yourself if you work well (within legal limits).

After the program, you will get a work permit equal to the length of the program. Then after that, depending on the province you choose, you get permanent residence. Many colleges will give you admission before you can finish saying I want to apply.

Remember that your bachelor's degree will have to be evaluated and employers do not value foreign bachelor's highly.

Fine-tune your approach by looking at jobs in the cities that interest you.

Check out Germany, Brazil, Korea, Scandinavia, etc. I know someone who studied French and international studies in Ibadan, got a fully funded scholarship to do Masters in Brazil, finished and got full funding to do PhD there too then did a test sabbatical in Canada. At that point, it was his decision whether to move to Canada or stay in Brazil.
The last time I tried their certificate Programme. The tuition fees I saw was on the high side. Can you mention any cheap college for Engineering?

Stop saying what you don't know.

I recently bought a 2008 vehicle manual transmission less than 200k, yes I got there inspect it and told the owner all the wahala the car has and I can't pay upto 200k for it.

It's not a stolen car anyway, I drove it that same day to southwest Nigeria from Abuja a journey of 700km plus and it didn't break down on the road even once.

The idea is to know a little about cars and remove fixing price from asking price stand your ground, if seller no gree move on to the next one.

Note if you are looking for cheap cars please leave Toyota and Honda and afix your mind on manual transmission
I will need your help to get a cheap car. But I want automatic
HealthRe: Can Masturbation Ever Make A Man Infertile Or Have Low Sperm Count? by Alkason: 5:48pm On Mar 15, 2020
Masturbation is not good and difficult to stop once you are adducted to it. It can mess you up mentality and can reduce your sperm count.

I indulged in that act for more than 19 years but just stopped this year.
It is also a sin against God. God warned me personally against that.

PoliticsRe: How Imo Governorship Election Verdict Generates Judicial Crisis by Alkason: 10:17am On Feb 16, 2020
Neoteny:
Are we still talking about this?

Hasn't a new scandal been created by Mary Odili for sacking a duly elected Governor on account of the sin of another, using the wackiest argument?

Deputy Governors can and have been deposed by States Houses of Assembly for various reasons, and the governors remain unaffected.

You are being emotional and not saying the truth. This is election and the two were on same ticket. They were voted for together. And the law made it so. It is called "common interest" in law
If the roles are thus separated, one wonders why in this case they're suddenly conflated as one.

Maybe when next a governor dies, his deputy too should immediately be put to death.

CareerRe: Minimum Wage: Is The New Agreed Percentages For Basic PayOr Net Salary? by Alkason: 8:38am On Oct 20, 2019
urose93:
Consequential adjustment of wages are done relatively. That is why we termed it in accounting WAGES RELATIVITY.
You can never plan and consequentially adjust a level two grade without taking cognizance of level one. It's a build up as it well.
Firstly, what people earn from the old salary table of 18k minimum wage is not even used as a benchmark of the calculation of the new wage, otherwise a level 6 officer would have earned more than a level 7 officer from the current percentage adjustment. One cannot even start calculating from level 7, you need to start from level one and build the rest up consequentially.
I will be more elaborate as I break it down soon. keep calm
You are sound and understand the issue in discuss. Thank you
