Yes... That's why we must be careful who we receive money from through online banking.... Because the beneficiary will be held responsible to be complicit

what of Anambra? Drop your number

Drop your number.
what's location of land?

dingbang:
First bank will call the number to investigate such suspicious transaction and if the fraudster cannot give satisfying answer, the account will be blocked instantly.

Just like I have advised our customers, dial *894*911# from another phone incase your phone is stolen, it's that simple.

I really don't get you.
.Could you paraphrase?

Mayor555:
If I talk, most of you won't want to use any Nigerian bank again. What I experienced in January is far beyond what you guys are saying here.

Kai that fraudster almost sent us to jail..

Bottomline, if you have online banking activated on your account, be mindful of who you give your account number and how you make you account number public.
If you know, you know.

Please could you elucidate on this.

I do biz online and give my account number to many.

How can one protect and guard against this?

What happened in your own case. We need to learn it.
Be elaborate please.

Need a small land in enugu outskirts for a single guy to build a living house.
Budget 1m to 1.5m

Indicate if you have.

My friend needs affordable land in Enugu or outskirts for living house

Budget 1m to 1.5m
Indicate if you have.

NL1960:
It is possible. If the owner of the phone has Internet Banking or Mobile App on it and the settings is 'remember login information', it means once any of those options is selected, it automatically logins into the application and then the person can do a transfer to another account. I think most times, transfers from such sources has a daily limit of N1m.

Login pin is different from transfer pin.

How would he get the transfer pin?

Again, no bank app saves password automatically like facebook does.

It can save login id but not password.

Is it possible for someone to steal my phone and withdraw upto 500k from my bank account?

If yes, how and how do we prevent such?

I have been arguing this since with a woman at Onitsha main market who insisted it happened to her husband.

The argument started when she declined giving me a business partner's phone number on the pretext of avoiding 419.

That of 85kis free DOS i.e it comes without windows pre-installed while that of 92k has windows 10 pre-installed.

Note. Someone (myself inclusive) might sell that of 85k to you but install windows himself to save a little change especially if you don't pay well

Any advantage of pre installed ?

Regarding your first question about Cold.
It is very very very very bad. To put in perspective when last did you hear that a large number of people died of heat in Nigeria? Now here in Europe it's a normal thing for people to routinely die of cold weather EVERY year. Although the majority of deaths are old and infirm people.

Basically at the start of the winter season if you go to any hospital or chemist, you will see them advertising health campaigns to remind people to get something called a "flu shot". This is a yearly thing,it's like an inoculation against catching the flu due to cold.
If you fall asleep outside during a harsh winter day there are high chances you will not wake up. Many homeless people die like that every year over here.
During harsh winter days if you go outside without gloves,a hat or thermals you'll start to feel pain in your finger tips and they'll also feel numb. Also your ear lobes will feel like there's someone sticking pins at the top of your ear. Not considering things like cough and catarh because those are normal in winter for everyone.

Regarding your second question.
It's very rare to see anyone "building" a house abroad. 99.9% of people buy houses via mortgage. They'll only give you this after an affordability and income test and credit check. You also have to leave a sizeable deposit.

Regarding your third question.
I can only speak for where I live at the moment. The government coffers are pretty tight currently. We also have a conservative government who are pretty harsh. As such pension payments are very meagre. On top of that they are gradually increasing the retirement age.
Meaning you'll have to wait longer before retiring and claiming your pension.
This presents unique problems for people of colour.
Number one it means statistically some people will not get to receive any of their pension before they die as they increase the age. Meaning they've saved money.
Number two it means for many people they will still legally be of working age but unable to find work because of age discrimination (employers thinking they're too old)but also they can not claim pension (because gov't says they're not old enough).

Now through into this mix that it's hard enough to find work as a young,fit,able and educated black person.
Imagine how hard it'll be to look for work in your 60s as a black man or woman against younger natives.

You might say well find a job and don't leave. Well they have that covered too. There's something called seasonal company restructuring. Most companies here in Europe restructure either departments or the whole company every so often. This to save cost, meet changing technology or legislation amongst many other reasons. During these exercises they normally get rid of staff they consider dead weight.
It works like this, a department with 10 staff currently will be restructured. All roles will be terminated and instead of 10 roles being recreated they'll make it 7 roles in the new structure. Now everyone has to reapply for their jobs! No matter what happens 3 people will be made redundant.
This is one of the ways they respectfully and in a civilised manner show you the door.

In summary you have to plan ahead. Many of us abroad already know this.

Enlightening.

Thanks.

Krucifax:
If you want me to be honest it's really about thinking about the future. .
1. I'm really not made for the cold. I can never get used to it.
2. State pension over here means confirmed poverty in old age for the unprepared.
3. There is more potential in Nigeria if you have the funds.
4. It's easier for people like me due to the exchange rate and my foreign currency that's the simple truth.
5. I have more family and friends in Nigeria.

Thanks for the insights.

Is cold really that bad!

Cant one invest or build houses and rent out like we do here? That's with respect to state pension and what do you mean by it being poverty in old age?

Krucifax:
Countries I've been to include:
U.S
Canada
France
Germany
Holland
Thailand
Ghana
A few other countries( via transit so doesn't count)
U.K where I live currently and Naija (Obviously).

Generally what most people have already said is true. Nigeria is generally speaking the worse location of all of them. There's no denying or lying about it.
Nigeria is in most considerations of comparison just worse. And it's not just Nigeria but Nigerians.
It's hard to explain till you have travelled and spent at least 1 month abroad.

Nigerians are very different from most human beings on the planet. Most of our qualities are negative ones. That's why most people are wary of Nigerians.
What we do have is strong will,resilience and toughness. We are also very ambitious people. The only problem is that the ambition is chased by most to the detriment of others and their environment.

To put it another way 90% of the world's population would refuse to come and live in Nigeria if given the opportunity. While I'll argue that 90% of Nigerians would leave Nigeria if given the opportunity.

Having said all that though I speak from a position of previlege having been born in the UK myself. I appreciate not every family have the opportunity. If that is the case I'd say do your best and work hard.
Find a skill set or trade that isn't entirely dependent on government or employer support and slowly build yourself.
Despite all the flaws ,I still want to return to Nigeria and even have property back home. Because home is where the heart is despite all the dollars or pounds. That's something only time and experience can teach you.

So what do u like abt nigeria despite the ills?

JuanDeDios:
You are NOT a scientist and you have no scientific vein in your body. You know what a scientist would have done? Carry out his own experiment to verify them or even ask me if I have verified anything or just repeating things I found on the Net. But dismissing them as "rubbish" offhand? Now, dust your handouts and go prepare for your exams, dear.

Same tripe.

Show us empirical evidence ogbeni..

JuanDeDios:
Add pieces of white honey to a jar or bottle of honey and take a tablespoon every morning.

OR

Lightly boil some large onions, prefereably white ones.
Use a juicer or any means you have to squeeze out the juice
Add it to a jar of honey
Take a spoon every morning.

OR

Chop a small piece of onion into smaller pieces, add it to a teaspoon to a tablespoon of raw honey and drink it - every morning


Whichever option, better use a small amount of honey and do it every few days instead of doing plenty and letting it go rancid. You should notice changes in a week.

All this rubbish being bandied about has no scientific back up..

serious?

Will anything happen if water touches headlight bulbs.
Headlight just got broken and car will be parked for a week.
