A new football season is coming closer the bets are gonna be naturally crazy, nonetheless I see a refreshing operational system that a betshop really deserves. A betshop with ambition, there is no ambitious betshop in lagos yet. There is no betshop that's really making its customers bet with passion. This operating scheme I have put together is my growth scheme.

lol na me o. grin If you had Internet banking and a current account, you have the option of creating a dorm account online without walking into the banking hall. Maybe you should check with them again sha, it's quite strange what they're asking you for considering you already have a current acct with them...
no i haven't gone to the bank yet, I made the enquiry via their Facebook page. Most of their Facebook CC don't know zilch. I'll go to my branch tomorrow.thanks once again

Since you have a current account with GTB already, I'm certain they won't require referees and ID cards again. Just call their customer and ascertain by yourself.

Why not invest in a domiciliary account which will cost you nothing with GTB and $100 "withdrawable" deposit with UBA and $50 for Fidelity? Instead of taking any peanuts the bank will supposedly pay you, you should be the one stating what you'll sell your $ when you go to the black market.


Look, abokifx is quoting 345 and nglatest.com quotes 346 this morning instead of the 197 - 280 the bank will randomly pay you. You can also use someone's account if you can trust the person but the hassle is not worth it since you can easily walk into any bank with your ID card and open a dorm account.
wow!!! This is an eye opener.the problem is I'm yet to get my ID from NIMC,so I got no ID at d moment. Can I use the temporary slip? .I have a current account with GTB.THANK YOU

even interbank rate sef is 280 and above and banks won't even sell it to you at that 280 sef..so it can never be 240 ,is either you did not hear the figure well or the person at the bank that gave u the information is confused...

The Supreme Court has decided that such custom preventing women from inheriting is unconstitutional. Contact me 08058284552
how bout my own case.I quote my mum.





Sometime in 2006,my husband,of blessed memory obtained expression of interest form for the above mentioned 2 bedroom flat, after the govt advertised the sale of its properties for legal sitting tenants . thereafter,he filled the form and obtained a #10000 bank draft which is the required fee for proof of expression of interest.once he was through with the process, he proceeded to the lagos state liaison office of the committee at oyikan abayomi drive,ikoyi on September 9 of that same year along with a letter of introduction signed by his then commander,Mopol 43 PMF squadron,acknowledging him as the occupant of the said property;and he submitted all the required documents.

About six(6) months later,on the 27th of march 2007;he took part in the FHA house verification exercise which was conducted at festac.he paid the sum of #5000 for the verification and was issued a receipt to that effect.Thereafter,he was issued an acknowledgement slip after returning the verification form attached with the dopist slip,letter of allocation,receipt of payment and deed of assignment.follwing the successful completion of the verification,it was indicated in the verification slip that his deed of sublease was being processed.

Fast forward to 2012,when the list of allotees was published,my husband's name was replaced with my neighbour's who equally is an occupant in the said 2bedroom flat.As a matter of fact;we occupy one bedroom and the sitting room while he has the other room and the kitchen,my husband was his senior in rank and number of years in service, and lastly we came into occupation of the said property in 1993 while he occupied his around 1998.

Following the realisation of this perceived injustice on the part of the committee,I was advised by concerned individuals to visit the committee's head office in abuja.Due to paucity of funds,I couldn't go immediately. It was 2 years later, in 2014 I took my son there and informed them of the anomaly. Upon getting there,we explained the discrepancy to the lady in charge,following which she searched for the file containing the list of those who expressed interest in the property. surprisingly, we found my husband's name written in ink instead of typed as is the case with other occupants in the block of 16 flats.after this discovery,i was directed to write a letter to the head of the committee detailing all these,this I did and received a stamped copy.

In june of the same year, being five months after we filed the petition, I called the lady to ask about their decision on the matter,and I was informed my husband made an error in the expression of interest form which I view as inconsequential.The only error he made while filling the form was where he wrote 2003 instead of 2006 when he filled and submitted the form.

I am aware the committee engages in shady deals in order to make extra money from the sale of these properties which number over twenty.it is on this backdrop that my neighbour sensing my husband is late,went behind to bribe the committee in order that my husbands name can be replaced with his.

As I write this,he has issued me and my 7 kids a notice to quit by end of September and I have no where to go since I'm yet to get my late husband's insurance claim.i have a shop close to where I live and that's me and my kid's only source of livelihood.As a matter of fact,of the 5 widows in my neighborhood, I am the only one experiencing this injustice,as others have been issued their offer of leasehold letters.Also,the said neighbour has a house that is near completion in ayobo,and has been transfered out of the state leaving only his wife and 3 kids behind.I on the other hand have 7 kids and a grand child to cater for.

What do you think?seeing as my husband is entitled to this property on the basis of seniority and preoccupation;and not the flimsy excuse of the minor error he made on the form,as this is inconsequential.what is important is the fact that he expressed interest in the property at the time it was advertised(2006),paid the required fee as proof of his expression of interest, and the Nigeria police deducted his monthly rent from his salary from 1993 to 2011 when he passed on.

Please advise. Do we have a good case if it's taken to court?

You should have told the officer that you wanted to buy from the last auction, I was at access bank to purchase the June 1st t-bills but they were giving me those funny rates and days but I insisted on what I wanted. I did 182 days and I got almost 9percent. Better than first bank for now

1. What is the minor mistake that your husband made?

2. When were you issued the notice to quit?

3. What outstanding fees have not been paid?

4. Were the deductions for the Lease, contributions to the National Housing Fund, or deductions payable to Police Cooperative (NPF Microfinance Bank)?
1. He wrote 2003 instead of 2006,that's most definitely an excuse because others who made worse mistakes still got their offer letters

2. It's a 6 months quit notice that will expire at the end of September this year

3. No outstanding fees.our rent was always deducted from my husband's salary by the Nigeria police while he was alive.

4. All deductions were made.

NB:This property was sold to all legal sitting tenants. By right, the most senior occupant should get the allocation as that's the procedure in the civil service
It's a block of 16 flats, a police barracks. Thanks for asking

Partiality in allocation of federal government landed property by presidential implementation committee on the sale of govt houses in lagos.
