But it doesn't matter.

Otedola is reputed for something else.

Jesu!

Nigerians are so funny

Real tears shed...

JayJustus:
black market price...it's still officially 199...my mum sent me moneygram and the exchange rate was 200naira to 1usd... that's why CBN is looking to remove BDCs and replace with travelex...

Try selling to banks...

TeOwl:
I meant to write entirely on oil revenue... unlike previous years where the budget was funded 90% by oil revenue, i think the 2016 budget plan says less than 40% of our expenses would be funded by oil revenue... I would try to find out the exact figure from one of those credible news/media websites and edit this comment later...

"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face" ---- Mike Tyson

Plans are for, well, planning.

Historically, Nigeria wey no dey follow budget sef...

And does this same plan also contain projected revenue from crude at $38/barrell (which is now about 29 bucks)?

TeOwl:
This is the reason why I want oil prices to keep plummeting, after a their "oil" would no longer be so special... for starters, the 2016 budget does not depend on oil revenue.

My oga, abeg enlighten me.

I am asking out of total ignorance: what does it depend on?

Abi PMB don get Aladin's lamp?

jascon1:
yeah, I totally agree to that. So, personally what is your proposition to the FG concerning this development?

Wisdom.

This pastor is certainly not a good person

jascon1:
Maybe an air raid will bring a calm. What do you think?

A fly on one's scrotum calls for a bit more finesse, don't you think?

Seems you're new in these parts.

Abacha never stole. He merely kept a rainy-day stash, for Nigeria.

mbhs139:
Sir, for whatever it is you may have achieved as the President of this country, all the revelations from this Arms Deal is going to rubbish it if you don't come out to explain your role in all these. Giving the number of collateral damages done to our military, you need to speak up sir.

Thank you.

Explain ke?

There's nothing he can explain.

His best strategy would be to keep mum, as boths goats and chickens know the funds were distributed as per his instructions.

And this is JUST one case of MANY...

Lol.

This is a new one.

Looks like a typo by Jumia.

Bevista:
The CBN has directed all banks to honour USD transactions from their customers, so YES, they can withdraw.

Thanks man.

guente02:
So, I have this girl I've been dating (I want to believe) since the wee days of October last year. But that's not the problem.
Thing is this girl is boring. You might want to ask why I came to such conclusion but believe me when i say she's boring, this girl is super boring.

We live in the same city (about 1247m according to gmaps) apart and I've not been able to see her because she tells me how the people she stays with which she refers to as close relatives always questions her movement and since we're only dating its not enough for her to take excuses from them to see me.

Okay, I get it you can't see me, this chick doesn't chat with me like she is dating me, she once told me that she doesn't believe in love may be because of her experience with her ex (my assumption). She's not contributing when we're making calls, when i ask her she'll say I've said it all. I keep wondering if all I say is correct or she is not just attached to me enough to have a decent conversation with me or its the naija girls factor and how bad they are in holding conversation or she is just plain naive about everything.

Not seeing her is making me mad at her that most times we end up quarreling on whatsapp to the extent that I've discontinued the use of whatsapp as a mode of conversation.

Please advise me.

Dumping her dey hungry me but i just need a little reasoning from romanceland.

Forgive my typo if any.

You're dating someone who is not dating you.

Laid2001:
It all depends on the type of platform and software to be used.

For example, it will cost millions of dollars for any conglomerate to develop SAP Enterprise system. Yet, most IOCs and conglomerate had to do it because it helps to save money eventually. As it helps in integrating all arms of a company together.

We are not talking of your day to day blog site here. I am even amazed by many ignoramuses online here shouting they are in ICT sector and saying they can do it for so and so amount. How can you say so when you don't even know the content and scope of what is required.

Another scenario is if the ministry wants to really go computerized and had to buy stand alone software for each staff or have to pay for software licenses par users. Some software licenses can cost up to $1k per user. With up to 2 thousand user in the ministry that is already $2 million (N400 million) and that is only one software.

Where I work, Software licenses alone cost millions of dollars annually. Yet we make our money back from our product!

Story.

What do you guys know about web design?

The Ministry of SOLID Minerals doesn't need an ordinary website.

They need a SOLID website.

And solid websites cost great money.

misspresident:
this story is false. dammy can fight na, dammy will beat wizkid.

E get as club fight dey be. Who strikes first usually 'wins'. Before the opponent can retaliate, bouncers might restrain him.

Primegold:
From your response, I can deduce you work for Zenith. Pls help provide more light on these:

1.) The form in question costs less than N5 to print. If Zenith is not out to profiteer from this why charge N210? The other bank I went to for the same transaction issued a bigger,better designed and user-friendly form for absolutely FREE.

2.) Why are the other so called free channels not communicated?

3.) Why is Zenith not paying interest on credit balance in current account as directed by CBN?

4.) How much does Zenith charge for sms alert to its' customers? And for statement of Account?


If Zenith is the most profitable bank according to you,then its' profits are not built on value added but rather on exploitative policies.

I have banked with Zenith for over 10 years and I don't wish my enemy the ZENITH experience.

So Chief, why do you still bank with them?

Bevista:
Because GTB sources the dollars used to clear your transaction from the parallel market. Since the rate in the black market is high, you should expect your card transactions rate to be high.
---
Contrary to what you may think, CBN doesn't supply dollars to banks for such transactions any more. The only bank transactions that will be backed by CBN exchange rate are LCs for approved items, medical bills, school fees, etc.

My brother, currently, if I send USD to someone in Nigeria (wire), can they withdraw in dollars?

saintkel:
Well he should have a low rate for now: 4 with time I expect a difference. GEJ for me has 8

My brother AFTER all these billion billion sharing news we dey hear?

You need to fear God

This is a forum post by some white guy, from years ago.

Why would this twitter guy pretend it's his experience?

sheubaba2013:
Though I am done with nysc and I serve in a private establishment. We engineers suppose to be posted to places like shell, chevron, nnpc, exon mobile, Total, coca cola, julious berger, refineries etc just like the house-manship in the medical field. In order to sharpen and widen our scope and field of study. It pains me to discover that some engineers at d end of the day will find themselves in the bank, some even un employed, after all the cracking of brains in the university for 5 or 6 years. I can count how many of my colleagues that are working in the engineering sector today, just very few of them...May God help us in this country. Amin

You forgot to include NASA, Microsoft & Google .

Aside Civil Engineers, where will they send the other ones?

kallmemrB:
I don't really blame the guy,hes just voicing the tot of most guys.... The level of indecent dressing between young adolescent are on the rise.....sometimes you try to imagine how there parents grant them freedom to leave the house looking like whores.....

The guy dicck statement might be out of line but the truth is rape is really on the high...

It may sound unfortunate but its like the ladies from age 10 above are the ones encouraging it with indecent clothing's..

Gone are the days when a lady in Long skirt or gown looks gorgeous

You are saying something ENTIRELY different from what the guy said.

worriedmind:
Hi guys. They say a problem shared is a problem half solved. I noticed that I've developed body odour ‎for about 2 years now. I'm 35 years and I first noticed it in 2014 about when I just got a new job. I've tried all sorts of deodorants and body sprays and nothing works. Body sprays actually makes it worse for me. I've tried driclor and maximum strength anti perspirants but to no avail. I've tried the baking soda treatment, lime and lemon but still to no avail. I make it a point of duty to shave every night so it's not like I keep hairs. I also shower atleast twice everyday. It's not like i get too sweaty,infact I don't perspire as much as to wet clothes in the pits area yet the slightest hint of sweat that comes on mixes with whatever roll on I have on and then creates a bad smell even when I'm dry. I get a lot of mean looks and turned heads everyday and it's actually starting to affect me mentally as I dream of people rubbing their noses and making faces at me in my sleep. Funny how people judge you immediately like you don't groom yourself properly. My life is on a stand still right now and I get panic attacks from the thought of going out because of the treatment and funny looks I get from people. I've been masturbating for about 7 years now, could this be the cause? Is there any link between masturbation and body odour? Could it be ulcer? I'm inclined to think it's from from the inside because I've tried all measures of outter cleanliness. Please has anyone out there ever encountered this social burden and how did u deal with it? Please help a dying soul. 


Lalasticlala kindly move this to front page so I can get more help. Thanks alot‎

She doesn't 'know' anything.

She gave you every opportunity to do something, and you didn't.

This is clearly a girl that liked you.

clovislouis:
Briefly I was at the bank today to pay for the usual monthly water bill. In the bank I met a girl who was rather nice to me and we got talking, fortunately I and her came for the same thing. In the bank their this guy in the same cue with us. This guy was telling her all sorts of sweet words like ( u re beautiful and all that) which I stood muted, and she was all smiles. I thought it was just gonna end there .this same guy ask to drop her
When we came out from the bank on the verge of exchanging numbers this girl saw saw the guy coming out and she quickly went to him reluctantly leaving me behind
note I and the girl in question went to about two banks together and we were more or less closer

the buttom line of this experience is that materialism is what girls look after for

Finally I was pained though
