CokeBar is super legit.

I have traded with her numerous times without issues

Yes she is. Thanks. Deal concluded successfully

Funlord, HazzanTazzan, can you vouch for cokebar?

megastarkels:
I'm also interested pls still need valid info on this.

Called the number on the advert and was told the interest is 6% per annum (thinking tis small though) or will my interest increase as I top my funds?

Also Care agent who picked my call claimed fx rate is about "300 and something", I need to be sure ooooh- (I'm just a kindergarten when it comes to Financial Literacy)

Are you sure about the FX rate? So you can purchase in naira?

Grupo:
Local

Less than 2 hrs. Maybe ask them to post it immediately

Grupo:
Sorry that I'm asking too many questions.

How long did it take for the recipient to get the money?

Asking because gtb is frustrating my efforts to transfer fx to someone.

Is it local or offshore transfer?

Grupo:
Did you do that over the counter or you used the mobile app?

OTC

IamR:
Please what did you write for the purpose of the transfer?
I will open another dorm account with GTB.

Nothing. Just a local transfer

Theconglomerate:
You can still cash out with this ooo in naira sha.
Find person for yankee weh dey do currency exchange wire am the money make e pay you naira.
He might buy at 435 still on still.
That is if you want naira sha.

Most aboki prefer transfer to cash. So just transfer to their local accounts and get your naira.

emmanuelewumi:
I pray things won't get to a stage whereby people can't get the money in their domiciliary accounts.

Lol.. I thought some folks here were very confident dollar would crash soon. Some even said below 350. Now CBN and ABCON are threatening speculators instead of flooding everywhere with dollars. Hilarious

IamR:
I am currently going through that now. I have been trying to transfer some funds but Zenith turned it down twice. I will try to do cash withdrawal by next week.

GTB is the best for dorm accounts in Nigeria, I don’t think any bank comes close. I successfully transferred over 5k today without any problems although cash withrawals was not available..

OgogoroFreak:
In the last presidential election, Atiku obviously got more votes than Buhari but what happened in the end?

Rigging is not a smooth ride, you have to atleast, make it believable. Hence, the vote buying.

Atiku did not get more votes and both Atiku and Buhari were one coin with different faces. Anyone that was expecting any thing meaningful from either of them is among the problem of Nigeria. I would rather not vote than vote either

OgogoroFreak:
Are you saying the leaders are always voted in and they don't rig? Most often than not, they rig themselves into power.

Our votes don't count!

^^^ Does that sound familiar?

I don’t believe votes don’t count. How about vote buying that is the trend currently?

ahiboilandgas:
Fgn they fear cartel ..

This oil cartel is why I’m very pessimistic about Dangote refinery. I don’t think they will allow Dangote become successful in the market

mickky22:
I disagree with you. There's no nation of the world that Nigerians are not doing great. Our major problem is bad leaders or leaders without vision.

I strongly believed, one day we will get it right.

So which nations of the world are other people not doing great? Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Nigerian leaders are also Nigerians. Nigerians are the one still voting the bad leaders. Nigeria needs to invest massively in Education not the corrupted education where people are only after certificates

Devaluing of the naira is inevitable at this point, it can only be delayed. If this administration successfully evades it, another administration will still do it.
In 2012 the entire Nigeria protested against subsidy removal, today whether or not the subsidy has been truly removed, fuel prices has almost doubled from 2012 price. Nigeria leaders keep creating more problems for the country, we have now moved from oil subsidy to dollar subsidy!

Donbrig:
Nigeria has one of the most unproductive populations on earth. I still cannot understand why some states have over 6 universities, prouducing half baked graduates or semi-literates into our labour markets. University degrees are overrated in Nigeria. It is time for every state in Nigeria to have state-of-the-art vocational institutions. Even if we devalue naira to help local industries, we still don't have a viable and knowledgeable populace to pull the trigger for industrialization.

This is just the truth. Nigerian Education is mostly useless. People only care about paper certificates and not knowledge, sometimes when you discuss with the average Nigerian graduate, you can’t but just be surprised. No difference between the average “educated” Nigerian and the uneducated ones.
People comparing China and Nigeria forget China has a very productive population, that was why many countries outsourced labor to them which led to the economic explosion there.

What we have here is an unproductive, consuming population growing rapidly by the second! The leaders are not the only problem of Nigeria

ukay2:
Please Sir, just keep making money wherever you are.

No need for endless arguments

Thanks

I didn’t know the thread went left. Lol.. I’ve heard

emmanuelewumi:
You will get at Pekas or Ocean blue Ikeja Lagos

Lol

Focusingmore:
What is this better life you speak off?

To have a better life anywhere in this world you need money.

All my childhood friends who stayed in Nigeria are multi millionaires now.

The ones who i lived with in those days who returned home have also made it big.

Most people living abroad for years are just getting by. All you are going to be is no more than basic.

No need to stretch this topic but this is just one sided talk. What is the minimum wage in Nigeria vs elsewhere?

Godbpraised:
You seem not to understand what is meant by oversubscribed. i will also advised u tone down on ur views about Canada/Nigeria migration talk, so that people do not feel less of themselves being in Nigeria. as u can see some people are doing well in Nigeria . Also this thread is not for migration talk. my 2cents.

What I mean is that people would rather buy up any available security at very low rates than invest in business. That was what I meant I don’t know why I was misunderstood and I’m not an advocate of migration, I believe that’s a decision anyone should make for themselve, but don’t discourage people that want to migrate. That’s all

emmanuelewumi:
How

I mean with the Massive over subscriptions everywhere

ahiboilandgas:
But for people in their late 30s ,mid level manager ,senior manager ,people with chances of heading their oraganstion ,or business people doing well locally...should think strategically b4 taking the plunge.....i think am clear now

Some people also want better life for their families. I’ve seen some bank managers relocate their families abroad while they stay back and continue working. It’s also possible

emmanuelewumi:
United Capital Corporate bond was oversubscribed to the tune of 124%

Looks like no one is interested in doing business anymore in Nigeria lol

Theconglomerate:
They are repatriating their funds to their countries to solve pressing needs na.
What do you want them to do?Wait for CBN whereas they might have urgent need for funds in their respective countries?
What would you have done if you were in their shoes?

Interesting

Why are investors buying dollars even at the high rates from black market? Thought someone will bring this up here lol

Barrytone:
I don't know Lagos, talking about where I know. I stated earlier that criminals prefer homeless situations. Attempts were made by some traders to be sleeping in plaza, crime rate increased and they were comb out. Nobody sleeps there. And that was the genesis of plaza police station. Where homeless people hang outbid always a criminal hangout ànd we don't tolerate that in my state, you must have a traceable house. Don't be caught napping at night in public, na police station you go take reach house.

Abeg make we hear word with all these cockk and bull stories

https://m.scooper.news/tanzania/2020/04/16/lady-takes-care-of-a-homeless-street-boy-she-met-in-akwa-ibom-photos/9564632

Barrytone:
Why should someone passing through and maybe spends max of 2 days in a town rent a house. That fraction should not be part of your data for making Uyo people "homeless".
I repeat, every resident in AKS owns a roof over his head.

People who sleep in parks are not only travelers. If you want me to believe there are no homeless people in Akwa Ibom I want you to also believe there are no homeless in Lagos too.

Barrytone:
I have Britons and Americans doing manual jobs in my company, are you saying those two countries are doomed. I repeat nobody sleeps in park here except luxurious bus parks that those itinerant workers sleep in their office. For people to constantly reside in the park as their homes. No way. Visit akwa ibom and believe me. All parks in Uyo are well managed. I repeat, never met anybody that lacks an abode in AKS.

You are trying to hard to prove your statement to be right. You should have known when to stop..

hustla:
How much was it before?

455 yesterday. 450 last week

Barrytone:
Be sincere to yourself, ever think how they got the data. Have you ever taken part in any survey talk less of the homeless. Common census, me and you knows how they arrived at the population. AKS, (am using AKS because I stay there, grew up there) has the best parks in the country. Its a public place so no point hyping. We don't have people sleeping in parks. Like I tell people, following the $1 dollar a day, nobody is poor in AKS, even boys that says "show me love" some are staying in elite estates. Helper for bricklayer presently gets minimum of 2k a day. Mere selling poor water of 80naira for 10naira gives you a profit of 120naira per bag even you don't need the initial capital of 80naira to start. Any body can decide to be lazy and there is nothing the govt can do about any one that refuses to hustle even the bible said it. I repeat, we are not poor. Stated earlier that I built my first house when I was jobless in the same AKS when my mates working in Lagos and abj then don't know what owning a land is. I even preferred that joblessness(popularly called hustling) to certain white collar jobs.

Akwa ibom must not be in Nigeria. If Akwa Ibom is as rosy as you are sounding, Akwa Ibom people will not be all over ph doing menial jobs.
FYI.. Any state in Nigeria where people are not sleeping in parks means the state is economically dead.

Dollars 460.

ahiboilandgas:
he doesnt sell to the poor ..he sell to dealer that buy a minimum of 10 trucks (25m ) ..indomie is 50 naira but i can buy from dufil ...a dealer that order 50m worth is assigned good ....the man selling to the poor at 35 naira will not get rich .....sell to the rich
