Tell your boss to do that. Israel has offered to help yet nothing has been said in response.
Israel is not one of the countries that succeeded in combating terrorism. It only suppresses Palestinians. it has never succeeded in preventing an attack against its people. USA, UK, Egypt, South Africa, India have done much better job than Israel

Hi everybody.

I am new to the boards as my girlfriend Funmi - pointed me here, I am an english guy, I think you call it oyimmbo.

From what I can see, the Nigeria project is not working. It is better you contract the police, army, justice, water, electricity, basically everything that does not work back to my people - the British. We did not let you down before. Because it seems and please forgive me for being rude, like you cannot organise a beach party at the beach.

Silly idea tongue the hell no, absolutely not. angry Is there a nation on earth has done such thing. It is not a football team, it is police and security issue.
But Nigeria must ask for international assistance as there is need to train all security forces, including intelligence, SSS, police etc. It is very obvious that they are not up to the threat.
It is better to ask the assistance of other countries who could overcome terrorism challenge, as USA, Uk, Egypt, South Africa, India

First I wanted to rebuke and curse Boko Haram whatever they are real or not, then I read all of these shallow heads like forsbell using the opportunity to insult Isalm and Muslims. They didn’t even mentioned that the innocent victims mostly would be Muslims, they do not consider that most of Boko Haram’s victoms are Muslims. They do not consider the bloody bombers in Niger Delta are Christians.
They do not want to admit that the followers of the religion of Love have killed 100 times more than others. Only in the Americas, 100 million were killed for religious purpose.
But, Is it the time to come with all of this nonsense or addressing the security issue in the right way.
Shallow Heads keep away, let serious minds discuss a very serious issues

another thing, I guess increasing the price will reduce the fuel consumption, at least for a while. That will reduce pressures on Naira too.
But remember, this is Nigeria where nothing goes as the book says. So rest your mind and take what comes as it comes, as usual.

What is the effect of the subsidy removal on exchange rate pls

oga Fhemmy

I guess it will reduce pressures on Naira against USD at least on official scale, CBN. The govt was providing $ for fuel importation then pay part of the cost (which is in USD) from the reserves as consumers are not covering all costs. With subsidy removal, the govt will provide $ for fuel importation and get all back. Moreover, the govt will be more concerning about Naira stability otherwise it will reflect again on fuel price causing another circle of strike, which shows the govt hopeless and unable to control the country as 2 organizations can paralyze the country.
By the way, I am with the ongoing strike. There is no govt increases the fuel price over 100% over night without causing real revolution, not just strike.
Business / Re: Can The Black Man Manufacture Anything? I Am Beginning To Wonder by BOMANY: 3:06am On Jan 14, 2012
@okeyxyz, You got correctly

I am sure about one thing, if there is a genuine black manufacturer on earth, he can never be in Nigeria. The system here produces only consumers not manufacturers. Manufacturing is absolutely night mare of investors in Nigeria. Importation/ trade business is much easier and profitable than manufacturing. For example, importation of stoves is easier than manufacturing, assembling is the highest that can be done. Even assembling is not profitable as trade. Especially that if you are manufacturing a stove, then you need to go through the whole way alone, I mean manufacturing almost everything as there is no much factories around.
When I heard GEJ is talking about automotive manufacturing here, in a country that doesn’t manufacture a tire, I just laughed. It is just talk for local political consumption. Dunlop closed the last tire factory after Michelin did, just to adopt importation only.
Business / Re: Can The Black Man Manufacture Anything? I Am Beginning To Wonder by BOMANY: 3:04am On Jan 14, 2012
Oga mordz, nice topic you are researching but tough one. Ethnically, black man has long way in inventions and manufacturing since 19th century. I did on line research and discovered many afro-Americans has played significant role in invention & manufacturing area. there are many websites that give information about it.
http://www.blackinventor.com/
Meanwhile, looking for such pure Ethnic (black) manufacturing is deceiving. There is no such pure ethnic manufacturing in our modern world. Even in Japan (e.g. Toshiba, Hitachi, etc) you will see some machines that are made in USA. The same in USA in Microsoft, you will see some components made in Japan or even China. There is no such ethnic boundaries, I guess.
However, I have to admit that most of black inventors & manufacturers are Americans.

Sorry folks
Federal Government and NLC Meeting End in Deadlock

The meeting between the Organised Labour and the Federal Government has ended in a deadlock.

Labour says the strike continues tomorrow across the country as compromise is being made but no agreement has been reached yet as negotiations continue on Saturday,14th of January.

The meeting initially began between the President and the Governors,with labour joining later.

Earlier yesterday, the Federal Government and Organised Labour met behind closed doors in Abuja Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory in a bid to fashion out a solution.

Prior to the closed door meeting, the Chairman of the House ADHOC Committee, Patrick Ikhariale appealed to both teams to see the meeting as an opportunity to make the best decision for Nigeria.

The Secretary to the Federal Government, Senator Ayim Pius Ayim also asked Labour to call off the strike as negotiation can only go on in a peaceful atmosphere.

The Minister of Labour; Mr Emeka Wogu also appealed to the Labour Union and Civil Society Organisations to call of the strike.

@relax101

Out of interest, what particular physical attributes should we be looking for in identifying a member of the boko haram group?

Ask the Failure Intelligence, perhaps will tell you they are looking just for someone to kill who should be northern and Muslim. By the way many here are praising the Task force just becuase they killed Muslims, but when the Task Force does the same in South South you hear another chant, UNCIVILISATION

The issue is “Are we CIVILISED nation or not?”  Huh  Any killing out of the law is absolutely Illegitimate. How I know that those people are really Boko Haram. [size=13pt][size=13pt][b]If they are really Boko Hraram arrest and bring them to court[/size][/b][/size], even if the courst orders to hang them, but not to kill them like this.

All of this started when police killed unanimously and randomly over 600 persons in the North, I am sure that many of their families, relatives and friends became really Boko Haram members

No mind dat dundi,he never thought of dat.

If the whole GREAT Nigerian army, SSS and The Nigerian Intelligence DO not know how to disarm them arresting even few to question them for more information, THEN the end of this country is closer than our nose. Committing masacres will result only contra massacres and endless chain of bloody violence.

Your uncivilised attitude and brain doesnt change your mistakes into correct ones,  you will still UNCIVILISED no less no more

Politics / Re: Army Kills 59 Boko Haram Members In Damaturu Attack! by BOMANY: 1:17am On Dec 24, 2011
If you read the news you are commenting, first it was said that “The Joint Task Force launched a successful operation” which means the army attacked a place then quoted from the Army Chief that “They (Boko Haram members) came with sophisticated and heavy weaponry …. but our trained soldiers subdued them”
Who attacked whom?!

When the army killed 600 persons claiming they were armed attackers, news photos showed that most of them were shot at their back. The innocent villagers were trying to run for their life from the random gun fire by police.
It was an international scandal so Late Pres. Yaradua had to announce that Nigeria will start investigation on that incident which was just a lie

Being a civilized is a way you choose or deny in your life. It is not a car you drive, cloth you ware or money you spend. It is ethics you believe in even if it is against your will.
That is why we still faaaaaaarrrr away of being civilized nation because inside most of us a part that denies the others’ rights for any reason, religious, ethnic, tribe or even social class.

That makes more sense, you are not alone in market and it doesnt happen that all traders agree at time of specific increment in price. Sometimes, others would be waiting such opportunity to push competitiors out. Unstability kills business, that is what CBN must understand

Hello all!!!

I have some questions:

I intend to travel to uk on Sunday and need PTA (personal travel allowance) of at least GBP1000 to shop etc. You can get 2000 USD (convert it to GBP)

1. Do i just walk into a bank and get this? You need to have Personal account with the bank Can I get it at the airport? There is office in th eairport that is selling/ buying USD but I am not sure if they will give it to you at once, you may go before travelling and ask. And if yes for airport, where at the airport Inside the departure hall
2. WIll I get it immediately from the bank or will I need to come back (i.e bidding) the bank will ask you for the ticket and the passport with Visa and tell you to come next day so they can confirm that you are really travelling
3. What documents will i need for the pta processing
3. How much naira should I be looking at changing for a 1000 pounds as at today
4. Can I get PTA in pounds or only dollars? If the bank has GBP I think they can convert it to you
5. Can my gtb mastercard be of any help to me when i am in the uk incase I run out of pounds. If you have a mastercard of a Nigerian Bank, then you can use it for getting GBP in UK, contact your accountant officer for better advice, because if your card is pre-paid it means you need to deposit your account before travelling. Good luck

Sorry, but I'm a newbie and i haven't seen specific answers to the above anywhere  cry

Business / Re: Ignore Boko Haram And Invest In Nigeria - GEJ To Investors by BOMANY: 10:09pm On Nov 11, 2011
Mr. President
Investors do not run away from Nigeria because of Boko Haram as they have not run from Egypt 1980s 1990s when there was the Islamist Terrorists, or run away from India after Bombay’s terrorist attack.
But they run away from Nigeria because of the corrupted System that can drain their budget without achieving or gaining anything, the most corrupted customs in the world, the lake of reliable infrastructure ….etc
Nigeria gets only that one kind of investors who are ready to cooperate with corruption, or has political protection by one of the big boys, yet the nation doesn’t get benefit of one Kobo. Can anyone tell me what is the gain of having international standard store like Shoprite while it imports 95% of the goods from South Africa despite the fact that there are similar products that are produced or assembled in Nigeria.
Calling the real investors needs more than talking

The CBn governor has just officially announced a devaluation of N5 officially, and you say it is good news?

What do you think the parallel market rate will be like?

D_BestDoc:

bought for N161 per dollar @ presidential dis afternoon.

I think you have just got the answer. The CBN didnt didnt add 5 naira, the former bond of the CBn was 3%+/- 150 to Dollar. Then the CBN announced increasing the bond to 4% +/- 150 naira to dollar. The last Official rate was about 154 then it became 155 - 156. Is it 5 naira difference?

So I dont think the black market will just jump up especially that the recent procedures reduced the presures on the demand of Dollars through CBN window

I am just trying to be optimistic
