YoungExec:
Feel free to drop your likely investing route for 2016. Let's share ideas.
So far:
1. Importation: Not attractive due to exchange rate and Forex restrictions
2. T.Bills: Unnattractive due to very low ROI
3. FD: Unnattractive, Banks are doing low single digits
4. Manufacturing: Unattractive as old issues (no power, high interest rates) joined new issues (Forex restrictions, low income per capita, inflation)
5. Stocks: I already took a hammering in 2015, watched my portfolio lose 20% value across board both blue chip and no chip
6. corporate debt: Unnattractive due to current economic headwinds, plus govt policy uncertainty.
7. Oil & Gas: Unnattractive, stocks down due to ever falling oil prices (plus Iran is about to ramp up production and add to the wahala) plus uncertain govt oil and gas policy.

Brothers & Sisters in the Lord I am beginning to look at Entertainment (Africa wide consumption) and Agriculture (Processing for export). But sadly, most coys in these fields don't have solid investable structures.

My ogas, let us look into 2016 and proffer solution for at least 15% ROI. I can't be the only one seeing this bleak outlook.

Boss,
Compliment of the season. I am happy to see you back here. I sent you PMs but there was no response.

I am yet to know the definite direction of business in this new year but I believe production of education materials will still move in the market. I have an idea of an education material which I would like to go into its production but the idea is open for other interested investor.

If you would like to know more about the business idea, let me know so that I can share it with u and we could partner together because I can't finance it all alone. I am sure it is an idea that will bring profit.

Once again, I thank you for support you gave me last year, if not for your timely advises, I can't imagine what could happen to me in the business world. Please I will need u to be there for me again this year.

Regards,
John

Congrats to her. Meanwhile, that her picture was taken in a basement turned home apartment.

And this made frontpage? What is Nairaland turning to tori olohun?

erunz:
why did the customs operated at night and no day time. Just watch how the price of rice will sky rocket next week in Lagos

There is no law that stop custom or other law enforcement agencies from working or operating at night.

Yes, price of imported rice will sky rocket but Nigerians will have alternative (locally manufactured rice) to shift to, ( possibly at a cheaper rate) and thereby create employment for local farmers, local rice milling companies and other indirect benefits.

I am tired of the way many Nigerians think. We have too many educated illiterates who think disjointedly e.g. they want to go to heaven/paradise but they don't want to die.

I have a word for you; it doesn't work that way please!

gamaliel121:

Can you see this is stall news and didn't come from new NIMASA DG as claimed here?

The news was reported on 16th of July 2015, this was even before the Dr. Akpobolokemi was sacked by the President Buhari

TheImp:
Nigeria – NIMASA has rubbished reports that the federal government has broken off its relationship with Tompolo’s company which is in charge of pipeline security in parts of the country.
Isichie Osangbi, Deputy Director of Public relations for the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) denied receiving any directive from the presidency to discontinue payment to Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Limited (GWVSNL) for the provision of platforms for security of the nation’s waterways, which is owned by the ex-militant leader.
“NIMASA is a government agency and would always implement government policy or reform in the maritime sector and not to be seen doing the opposite. Also, as a government agency, NIMASA ought to be in the know if there was any such directive or change in policy, since the alleged directive, according to those peddling the rumour, was meant for the agency to put an end to all payments to Global West Vessel.
“I tell you with due sense of responsibility that there is no such directive. If there is, nothing would have stopped NIMASA from informing members of the public or issuing statement to that effect,” he said.
“We are aware of our core mandate and we will do everything to enforce the federal government law as it affects the maritime sector. No rumor or falsehood will distract us,” he said.
The maritime security contract was approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan and awarded by NIMASA in 2011.

Tobermom:
I dont think you understood my point. I didnt go shopping for the house. I dont consider buying two loaves of bread, 6 apples and a tub of ice cream shopping for the house. I actually went to buy things i would be comfortable eating as eating is a casual thing here as i earlier explained. So am i to fast as a preggy cos others arent eating? Plus i wasnt aware any shopping was done that morning. Why on earth would i repeat the shopping? And thats why i apologized. So asking a mother of two to return groceries all in an attempt to prove your ability to provide is ok? Thats unacceptable to me. I would NEVER do that!

If its for discussing it, i already got the vibes that they wouldnt accept money from me. I want macdonalds, you pay, i want to thread my eyebrows , you pay. Im not comfortable with awoof cos e dey always run belle and yet im not able to buy my own things. Thats bondage! I asked for accomodation and not govt( family) aid.

Ofcourse i will not leave here as an ingrate but if its for future ive got options, LOADS!!!

There are some people that theres just no pleasing them. Im the one in the situation and trust me a whole lot is edited

I don't think your host is mean to you in the first instance, but I know its cultural thing in America that you go and serve yourself if plenty food is made or cook for yourself want you if you are not comfortable with the food they made. I suffered this at home of some of my white host sometimes back in USA thinking they didn't want me to touch their food but it was later I learnt from a Nigerian host that in America, you don't expect people to serve you but you serve yourself or cook your own choice meal at your time if you don't like what was made.

So, your host has not been mean, they have just forgotten that you be 9ja woman who always expect to be served becos you are a visitor. You are not a visiting again in american home if you are staying more than 3 days with them but its not too good to tell you to return the bought items, however I want to believe it is over reaction as she believed you have some right to tell them what you want in the home and they would try to make them available within their own means.

Pls I have a serious concern about Arikair airlines/planes. As u all know that people will always manage in Nigeria, companies, individuals, etc. Can someone trust airkair planes that their instrument (planes) won't be managed before it departs an international take off/flight ? I hope u understand mypoint. We all know that American airlines, BA, Airfrance airlines will never manage their planes, but can we trust Nigeria owned airline, Arikair planes that the planes are in good condition before flying ? Also, their pilots ? U know an average company in nigeria will always employ a cheap labourer. Can Arikair be trusted in terms of a safety flight to NY, USA ?
Honest answers pls

Please note that I am not speaking directly or indirectly for arikair but this is my account of been on their flight enroute LOS-NYC-LOS economy and I have never enjoyed any flight like that. Food OK, drinks OK (ask for more and u do be given) and chat session with other passengers at the bar of the flight was awesome and made the flight very interesting. No mess up whatsoever.

cozybunch:
Yes you have the right to enter any point of entry in u.s however, the fact is you are a visitor and the cbp officer has every right to stop you and interrogate you unnecessary soly because of that. This may even lead to other questions concerning your journey and may lead to Secoundary inspection. My friend it is not friendly to go through that process.

I was interrogated on a secoundary inspection both in u.s and canada and they are both nightmare. Telling some with easy that there is no issues should be taught all over again

Good Luck

I got your point but one can always explain him/herself as to the reason of change of POE and I want to believe the CBP officers will understand as long as you are honest with your explanation and they can verify it.

While I am in no way forcing my opinion on anyone, however, anyone who want to make use of my suggestion must be ready to take the full responsibilities for the action that comes thereafter.

belloluddy:
Thanks for this info. Please I am travelling to Denver, Colorado, is it possible for me to fly airkair since it lands in NY, and besides, I told the VO I was going to Colorado. Will I not encounter issues at the POE if I end up in NY through Arik ?
Thanks

No, it won't. Like me now, my final destination is Washington DC and later Texas but I booked Arik to New York and would take bus to DC and bus to Texas and other places I will later visit. You can entre through any POE so far you are holding a valid US Visa. Although it is 27 hours drive to Colorado but you can take a flight from NY to Colorado which is estimated between $190 - $521 according to farecompare.com or use cheapflights.com.

Can someone here try arikair.com to New York? I can see a ticket of 188300 as with Oct 14 to Nov. 19. Hurry now to book it.

For those interested, I just booked Arikair to New York (JFK) at 203k per head departing October 14 . Anyone can still try his/her luck. Best of luck

First, I am not @bukolasaraki supporter. But I hate dirty politics.

But I follow him on Twitter, and I know that 6 days ago, a twitter follower (@9grrepublican) of his openly requested him to remove party affiliation from his profile as he's everybody's senate president (check his handle on the 14th September for proof).

He obliged and even thanked the fan for the advise. Now it has become a campaign point for his assailants, including PDP. Talk about dirty politics!

Is it possible that the fan's request was a political gimmick in the first place.

@emeka2847
Why is the op lieing for Sen. Bukola Saraki? His officially appointed spokesperson said the APC thing was removed about 1 month ago and you just come up to tell us 6 days. This op cannot tell us he knows more about Sen. Bukola Saraki than Yusuph Olaniyonu (Saraki's appointed spokesperson).

http://www.punchng.com/news/saraki-distances-self-from-apc/
The Senate President did not respond to the controversy on Twitter.
However, the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media, Mr. Yusuph
Olaniyonu, said, “It is not a new development. The party logo was there during
the elections and we took it off after the elections about a month ago.”

@bestnews

There is no cause for alarm, just check the status again by Tuesday, it would have been changed/updated. That's what it usually give until your visa is printed.

@nextedge
Yes, she was given. They told her the visa will be ready in 2 working days.

@nextedge

What was the time of your interview? My woman was at Abuja too, her time was 9:30am Friday.

Somebody should tell EFCC that this is not how a professional organization works. Imagine EFCC tell us to report the suspect/ advice the suspect to give himself up. How are we going to report or advise the person we never know is identity because EFCC didnt tell us his identity?

Please tell them they should stop this show of shame and unprofessional release of press statement.

I don't have so much to say to appreciate her services for the Nigerians and her employer, but I would say her employer never made any wrong choice to appoint her.

To her: Go and continue to be a blessing to wherever you are departing to (that I bet you would do).

acunon:
what makes it smart is the internet features it has, as u can browse and do any thing concerning the internet on it. Also all smart tvs has usb and hdmi ports with inbuilt wireless in it.

thanks for your response.
still waiting for the op @mig007 to answer the second question.

@op
Pls tell us what makes the TV to be smart and the features on the TV? Tell us if it has USB port and some other info that would assist buyer as you advertise them.

Also can one come to your shop/address to see before one buy?

@op @uniquemb
I reside in Ilorin too. Let's contact and see how we can move things in Ilorin.

I want to say salary is not the only criteria used by the VOs to adjudicate a US visa applicant . I can tell you I was given USA visa in my mid 20's even when I told the VO what I earn (as at that time in 2010) was 25k per month, never married at that time, never travelled before. I was given visa again 2 years after this when and I was never marries again. Go with right objectives, right request, clean hand and clean heart the probability that you will be given is very high.

MuguliciousMUGU:
Zuma that caused that xenophobia? This is an insult to nigeria, this is the first mistake of buhari, is buhari trying to tell us that he supports the killings in south africa, he suppose to ban zuma for 10 years, and pay for damages caused by zuma.

Buhari must act fast by questioning zuma about the killings in south africa. If not we would start by calling him clueless.

If what you say would be done, then Zuma should ask Synagogue Church to first send about 100 South Africans who died in its compound to South Africa alive

Abegi leave these hustlers, they are not true musicians but hustlers. True musicians would compose and sing to fit to an event, no be like these boys wey dey do trial and error and come jam luck with the help media hype.

Some police officers engage in this shameful act and the victims fail to report becos they can't believe the quarters its coming from. I have had cases of women detained overnight been brought out in the mid of the night to be gang raped by police officers at Alakuko P.station in Lagos. Its very unprofessional and barbaric act from human life protector.

Attention seeker cum lawyer. I have a message for you: 'We don hear you'
