AdvertsRe: Attention!!! Attention!!! I Need Help With My Zenith Bank Web Surfer Card by arbitrage: 2:06pm On Mar 22, 2012
I actually need dollars, pounds or euro for my Zenith dom accounts. If you have means of transferring the web surfer dollars to my Zenith, I should be able to transfer naira equivalent to you from my GTB via instant internet banking. BUT I need good rate of exchange to go ahead. If you can offer me good rate, then let's go ahead rightaway.
BusinessRe: Forex Is Now Making Sense by arbitrage: 9:30pm On Mar 21, 2012
Hello, as i promised earlier to try your instruction again on my binary options trading, I did on my separate brokers' accounts even repeating the trade (twice) with one of them cos I made mistake to choose end of day expiry as you advised. That was before I left office this evening for dinner. I just checked those three trades now with the 2 brokers and to my surprise you have done it again. The two trades that have expired have won the 75% profit the brokers offered remaining the last one I repeated for the end of day expiry. I am still risking all of them with small money but I'm impressed with your successful instructions. Thanks and GOD bless.

Hello Yinkaadx, I wouldnt know where you got your alerts from but I saw your info here almost last last night but I quickly used your instruction separately for my two binary options trading accounts. To my surprise, just checking now and found out the two made money on EUR/USD and USD/CHF. If I had known, I would have put in more money. I just risked your instruction with smal money. Anyway, I will try today's instruction you gave again. Thanks!

I used the card in Feb on a US site to upload dollars to my account, which I transferred to my US visa card and bank account successfully.

BusinessRe: Us Bank Account by arbitrage: 10:05pm On Mar 10, 2012
I don't think it is difficult as such except for the cost of opening the accounts and you may not need Social Security someone referred to earlier. For instance, you can open a US account with HSBC and UK with Barclays but each one I tried last needs at least 5,000 dollars or pounds opening balance. I was lucky to open my US bank account with zero balance in 2006/7 when I did and the bank even disapproved my application because of my Nigerian country of origin. After some weeks they wrote back to say they re-considered me and then my free visa card, checkbook came in the postal mails. I even requested and got my hardware token (like GTB type) and my visa card was replaced after expiration; all these services at no single cent cost to me. They always use Fedex to courier my stuff all free of charge. Sometimes they returned last year because of wrong address delivery yet, they will return at my request without charge. I got all that with zero account balance except for few months ago when I tried sending money to it to test my GTB domiciliary account transfer. I use to have money in it when I linked it to my paypal and bought things from the US. But it was on balance since around 2008 until last year without penalty. I just discovered I could even fund my US account through my UK moneybookers instantly from my GTB naira mastercard but I do not want to put my foreign currency outside for now but rather into my GTB dom, or Zenith dom or better still Union dom which is better.

I have other US bank accounts that are basically linked to my US-issued cards. It has banking details and internet banking access. I mean physical cards with bank accounts linked and not just virtual. I think it's easier with UK anyway as they will not ordinarily ask you for Social security that US will ask.
Christianity EtcRe: Your Thoughts On The Commercialization Of Gospel Materials by arbitrage: 3:08pm On Mar 10, 2012
Interesting, this was the question I sent by sms to a friend of recent. He is still thinking about it also to know what the Bible stand is on this. I simply asked him, if Peter or Paul or any other Apostle will probably and possibly spent hours (may be days) to seek God's face to receive inspiration, message or any form of spiritual enlightenment that will benefit the early church; will they actually sell it to the church to hear, watch and benefit from such message? If such gospel message needs to go beyond Jerusalem and Judea and probably needs getting to other churches in the Gentile world, will they send preachers (at whatever cost of transportation) to deliver such an epistle and cause it to be read freely in all locations or rather seller it to them?

Then here comes the question of the cost of producing such materials in our current world. An early comment made it known how many formats and ways to make today church members have access to such materials at no cost to the church. I did not even see it that way before but what I knew is this to support freely gotten freely give. Many of our ministries and churches today have printing presses and publishing houses across the globe. Just check each material publication and you will see that majority are printed by the same ministry's publishing house, which I presumed in such cases, are printing presses built by members' tithe money. In other words, they are built by God's money of that same ministry. So, if God gives inspirational message to a leader or member to share and bless members of the church and God's money (tithes, offerings, thanksgiving freewill offerings or other contributions from members) was used to publish such materials in the same ministry. Then whose cost are we bearing and taking into consideration in pricing such divine message to members.

Someone also talked about exempting gospel artiste as per selling of God's message. I think it is because the foundation of the church itself was destroyed or faulty, that is why there is almost nothing the righteous can do about it. Know that the talent or gift was supposed to be used in the church of God to bless and edify His people as He lays hands on such singer (like the Levite sons of Zadok or Kohatites, etc that specialize in songs/music in the Temple of God) without making it a business to live on outside the Temple/church as it is today. The portion of the Levites in sharing what comes to the house of God in tithes and offerings was taking care of those people without them have to pull out or start business with their gifts. It's different and honestly difficult today when any one with talent/gifts would rather not use it to bless his/her local congregation and environment BUT rather prefers to make ministry and business out of it.

It would have been easier if they stay together under their church or congregation so that the ministry can take care of producing such songs for outsiders to listen to and be blessed since it will then be the church's money that will produce it. But because no one wants to stay under another when you discover your giftings and you see how much you can make from sales, that is why talented/gifted person will rather not do other works but pull out and make a living from his/her gifts. It would not have raised any question although if such gifts/talents are not necessarily the gospel message that usually have God's word as the source.  If it was just secular music or your academic capabilities you spent money to learn from school or tutelage, you can make business and money out of it without any scriptural considerations but when you claimed it is the divine message, you are entering a Biblical restricted business area, I think.

Some even love the money and fame that go with it and they started under church/ministry to run after Hollywood for publishing because Holy Spirit is too slow for the riches they are envisaging. Eventually they are lost in the world and turned from a gospel singer/musician to secular whatever.

Back to church preacher, leader or pastor, when the Levite is no more getting what supposed to be the due of a full time ministry and labour, they also think about how to survive. Hence, they think of making money out of their "God-given" inspirational materials. Others do not start that way or had such mind, but when they see other wealthy ministers (out of inspirational material sales), they joined to make sales from the freely given-freely give grace they got from God. In fact, it does not matter anymore whether it is the church's (rather God's) money that printed such magazines, CDs, DVDs, daily devotions. They can claim they spent hours and days to get inspiration to right those things while other members were sleeping, so excuse themselves to sell but printed/published by a press that people tithes/offerings are sustaining.

Do not forget that a church/ministry that does not have her printing press/publishing house can still obey freely given-freely give command of the gospel. When their own Peter or Paul or whoever gets such a message, inspiration or whatsoever that needs sharing by any form of media, they should be ready to spend the tithes, offerings, etc. to sponsor the publishing of those materials so that members can have access freely to such epistle that is deemed important to everyone. Let there be (spiritual) meat in my house is the essence of the money in God's house.

Someone mentioned earlier the publishing of the Bible that gets into our hands by buying. This is majorly attributed to the fact that secular business publishers are the sources of the copies we have around us. The church can still give the word (Bible) to all free of charge if they will spend their money (tithes, offerings, contributions, etc.) to propagate the word of God. It is not only meant on buildings and expansions anyway. In any case, the ministry or church with capability to print Bible copies are not expected by that scriptures (of freely given-freely give) to sell it to others.

Finally, if for whatever justifiable reasons, we cannot but sell God-given gospel message, preaching, songs/music, CDs, DVDs, magazine, etc., I do not think it should be for a profit margin price. Not to the point we have today of preachers becoming jet-rider or billionaires from such sales of materials. Let it be from your personal secular or academic write-up that you labour for and not what message He delivered or revelations He made known unto you from "island of Patmos" bedroom for His churches (people).

I do not think Peter or Paul will today still feel their epistles should be made into e-format and sold to the Ephesians and Galatians no matter how lucrative it is simply BECAUSE they were not in trance or heard cunningly devised fables when the word came to them from the Word of Life Himself, saying, "freely have ye received, freely give."
BusinessRe: How To Order For Goods And Pay Online With Nigerian Bank Issued Credit Card Through Pay Pal Portal by arbitrage: 7:37pm On Feb 15, 2012
Payoneer is not a Nigerian but foreign issued card. So you are still saying what I said earlier. The first time (over 2 years ago) I requested for payoneer card, I did not get it because they refused my PO box address and my house address is surely at Nipost mercy as we know in majority of place in Nigeria unless you live around some old downtown address where Nipost do deliver from house to house in Lagos. I wouldn't know if that still exist. They rejected my choice of collection through US address.

So when I requested for payoneer card last month again and I used US address for receipt despite my Nigerian registration, they questioned and just asked me to confirm that I really want to receive at the US address. I replied yes and few days later, their mail said your request is approved and your card is on its way. I wouldn't know why they are not refusing like they did before when they only sent it to my Nigerian address, which I never got. I guess they understand our plights here better now.
BusinessRe: Which Nigerian Bank Card Works On Plimus? by arbitrage: 3:24pm On Jan 26, 2012
When I said all Nigerian visa and mastercard, I mean those foreign currency denominated cards and the few naira funded ones like GTB naira mastercard, UBA africard, etc that allows spending in foreign currencies but funded in naira. Not those verve or interswitch cards anyway or other naira denominated visa that are not meant for outside online use.
BusinessRe: Which Nigerian Bank Card Works On Plimus? by arbitrage: 3:22pm On Jan 26, 2012
I want to believe all Nigerian cards should work whether visa or mastercard because Nigeria is listed on the Plimus payment webpage with the cost of whatever item you are buying even in naira equivalent displayed.
BusinessRe: Anyone Using Alertpay Account? by arbitrage: 3:17pm On Jan 26, 2012
Guys, you don't need any software to capture any page from your screen. That ability is already in your windows installation. If you do not want to use your keyboard print screen button to capture the page, simply go to your windows all program, accessories and choose snipping tool. The snipping tool will allow you to capture the portion of the page you want to capture and paste anywhere u want to.

For Alertpay account, I cannot remember whether I used a phone code to verify mine but I could remember adding card and US bank account. I also remember they have option of receiving cheque to Nigerian address as one of confirmation options.
BusinessRe: Gtb Internet Banking Token Device by arbitrage: 2:56pm On Jan 26, 2012
I would not know what you mean by saying that you have not activated your account online before. But I know you can log in to your internet banking without the token but the only transaction you can do without the token is the one that involves transferring between your own accounts like savings to current and vice versa. Any other transaction will require token.

Better still, call GTconnect to know what you can do. I know that they can issue our another token (especially if you have not registered the previous one for online usage) at the cost of the usual N3000.
