I visited two banks today where I run business and personal accounts. I am scheduled to travel March 20th. Of course the first thing is to inquire yheir rates for the new PTA regime. The two banks told me I am not eligible for PTA till its 14 days to my trip. I was also told by the two banks that the highest I could access was 4000 USD.

That harmony in in response to expressly communicated CBN rule I found very interesting.

I letter discovered that the rates were arbitrarily fixed by banks. Both of them almost 400 naira to the dollar. The rates from the two banks were 10 naira apart.

Is it possible that CBN factor in bank charges and service charge and arrive at a uniform rate for all banks. Also compelling these banks to conspicuously display the rates.

They must not stop there. There has to be a hot line where Nigerians can report any form of racketeering or high handedness on the part of banks. All over Europe, if you enter money changers place or BDCs. Rates are displayed. Nobody is short changing you. What you see is what you get. No time for negotiation.

If all banks get Dollars from CBN on a fixed rate, why allow them determine sell rate to their customers independently. As it stands, I know the bank I will be approaching for my 4k when my trip approaches.


State why you are for or against.

Lalasticlala have you collected your appointment letter?

I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014.

Two million of the likes of Buhari cannot change Nigeria.

Everything is wrong with Nigeria.

The Director won't give you contract except you pay up front .

The banks won't give you loan except you concede a certain percentage.

The man supervising the contract won't pass the job except you play ball.
The clerk won't pass your file for payment except you rob his palm.
The accounts department won't raise your payment voucher or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on.

The worst thing is that it has become a norm that nobody sees anything wrong with.
If you think otherwise, they begin to think you are sick and not normal.
If you try to stand in their way, you put your life at risk.

If you get killed there is no justice system in place to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book.

The police is corrupt , the Judiciary is the same.
Even the religious circle is not spared.

Everything in Nigeria revolves around corruption.
Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order.
I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money".
They will kill anybody and anything that stand between them and money.
I am an electrical engineer with MNSE and COREN. The system don't care about my qualifications.

Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, pastors, friends and relatives without any basic skills.
I started asking myself, how do I convince my kids that education and hard work is rewarding?
When fools, agberos and touts are running the country from the local govt to the Presidency.

Is this what my four sons will also go through? In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I migrated to Australia with my family.
Don't put yourself in harm way for any reason.
The problem of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it. The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf.
They are corrupt, morally bankrupt and selfish.
Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria .

You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything.
Let those under the hammer start the revolution.

Ishaq717:
And buhari has done nothing right

He has done a lot.
Under his watch budget was padded.
He watch Dollar rise from 215 to 504 and remained clueless about it.
He has denied every campaign promise he made.

Do you want more things he has done. It's countless

In trying to verify the accuracy of the odd appointment letter I posted here yesterday, I discovered that President Buhari actually has 9, not 6, media aides, all of whom also have a retinue of personal aides.

The presidential media aides are Femi Adesina (Special Adviser, Media & Publicity); Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant, Media & Publicity); Tolu Ogunlesi (Special Assistant, Digital & New Media); Lauretta Onochie (Personal Assistant, Social Media); Bashir Ahmad (Personal Assistant, New media); Sha’aban Sharada (Personal Assistant, Broadcast Media); Naziru Muhammed (Personal Assistant, TV Documentary); Sunday Aghaeze (Personal Assistant, Photography); and Bayo Omoboriowo (Personal Assistant/ President’s Photographer).

In addition, the president has about 40 paid journalists, bloggers, media analysts, commentators (whose names I have but will leave out for now), working under the Buhari Media Centre (BMC) in Utako, Abuja. The BMC is a well-furnished one-storey building with expansive premises. It has security guards, clerks, and cashiers. The team members are paid a monthly allowance of between N200,000 and N250,000.

They are mandated to react to all media contents critical of the president, write favorable news items for the president, and attack/demonize/smear people critical of the president. They also work with government agencies such as the EFCC to push narratives to deflect attention from the ineptitude of the government.
They work behind the scenes and use pen names in extended articles, and pseudonyms on social media. Almost all the members of the APC Presidential Campaign Media Directorate operate from the BMC, with the exception of those with appointments. And this excludes Lai Mohammad’s well-oiled lie squad.

When a government takes propaganda and mind-management this seriously, you know it’s not ready to change. Good deeds are their own PR. It is when people determine that they don’t want to do good deeds that they resort to mindless propaganda. If only they invested and expended as much energy in managing the economy as they do in propaganda, we won’t be where we are. I have more, but I will stop here for now. By the way, that appointment letter is authentic.

Honestly true

Hehe

Guy, See your doctor asap

Nairaland is an anonymous forum so if you knew something there'll be no danger in circulating details.

Circulate to pacify your curious small mind right. I won't spend 100k to track you with your IP address. Expand your mind. Anonymous indeed.

If he ruined Nigeria

I am a patriot

Did I hear you say if? Look at the 2017 budget. Almost 100 million for Aso rock house rent. VP gate house 250 million, 1.250 billion for computer software. That money will buy kaspersky as an anti virus company. Do you have a laptop. How often do you buy anti virus? Did PMB not vet those outrageous figures in the budget? You are leaving in denial. PMB has been swallowed by the establishment . Get the budget of 2017 and put on your binoculars of objectivism and see that it's business as usual.

sarrki:
He produced criminals

Both in judges, legislooters, military, police and religious
Leaders

He failed God and humanity

I can't wait for PMB to finish so that the looting that happened under his watch will humble you. This is internet. I won't say what I know yet. PMB may not be corrupt but massive looting is happening under him and he is totally clueless about it. Time will tell.

Internet never forgets

A certain Kaduna man was fired by GEJ in 2014 for fraud. This is the APC giving GEJ heat over that sacking. Today we are hearing that 9. something million dollars was found in his house.
Okay! But Goodluck Jonathan FIRED him.
But APC defended him

Our politics is too dirty. Ethnicity is Nigerias greatest problem not corruption.

A Whooping 4.9 billion naira.

I fear fear when I went to see a politician and he gave me 100k and I saw standard trust bank. ...

This is why I propose that Another party different from PDP and APC has to come on board.

The present leaders in government are scared PMB may not get to 2019 and sucking us dry.

Ok

Only Goodluck Jonathan would remodel 22 Airports, build 4 new ones, construct and reconstruct 20 thousand kilometres of roads across Nigeria,bring a final resolution to the age-long ASUU crises, massively reintroduce railway as a means of transport, build 12 Universities, build 125 Almajiri schools, build bridges that were long abandoned, build 118 power projects in all,ensure integrity of federal elections, conduct the long clamoured for National conference, make Nigeria attract the highest foreign Direct investment in Africa, make Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa, make Nigeria the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world, all in four years and still be called clueless and a failure. What is Buhari after almost 2 years. Buhari must not die oo. He must rule till 2023. #OurMumuNeverDo. Dollar has to hit 1500 so that our brain will reset

Please what is Buhari abeg

This thing will dovetail into a revolution.

My placard tomorrow will read #WhereIsOurPresident#
#TheAsoRockCabalIsLootingUsNow#


Has Osibanjo been allowed to speak to his boss? No.
The Nigerian police waited endlessly for Buhari at Abuja airpot to no avail today.

The cabal has started again. Till Dora Akunyili resurrects and scream #WhereIsOurPresident#

Nigerians should brace up for what is coming. The Northern governors have been aware, hence the sever al meetings holding at nights in Kaduna and Abuja.

Osibanjo must be verrrrry careful. He must not eat anything from anyone.

He should beef up his security as he risks being kidnapped.

The Northern hegemony will do anything this time to ensure power doesn't return to the South but no be we. Na God.

Lalasticlala. ..They have blocked the VP from speaking to his boss just so that we don't get the true picture. Are you aware that Abuja airpot hosted an array of police men who waited for the president for hours but he never showed up. Even the IG of police is in the dark.

In Dora akunyili's 2010 voice. A cabal has hijacked our country. They will be looting now. #IstandWithOsibanjo#

I broke the news last night that Mr president is not coming back bearing their reason that presidential jet is faulty. They knew tgat alibi will not fly. They now changed it this morning. Mynd44 deleted that post even when I stated that details were coming soon.

Lets reason together here..There is treason brewing here. The president's signature is being FORGED. Someone is IMPERSONATING THE PRESIDENT. Same thing happened with Yaradua. Who signed the letter forwarded to National assembly that Mr President is extending his leave..

You do not wait in London for tests. You can return for it. You have a job to do. And if the tests are negative?
Plus, did they tell us he was not well? so what facking tests are they talking about? Was he not seen eating with Ambode and watching Channels TV?

The truth will soon come out....the script is simple. The extension of the leave will remain indefinite till they figure out how to handle the VP. Once the VP is taken care of. The truth will be unveiled.

Tell VP to watch his back and pray for him.

I need the press to ask VP if he has spoken to PMB since he left. Nigeria brace up.
