Travel / Re: My Passports Just Expired And I Have Visa Interview In 2weeks by Cupidkc(m): 5:29pm On Aug 29, 2021
Nonexisting1:
Does anyone have an idea where and how I can renew my passport to meet up my interview deadline in two weeks time? I am currently in Owerri, do I need to go to Abuja for this. The person I called here in Immigration office said it will take up to one month and I don't have that time. Anyone please advise me. I don't mind spending more to meet up because I can't afford to reschedule this interview.

Goto Umuahia.... You will get it done same day if you are there early enough.
All the best!

Abeg make una Help me put mouth , because i wan drop the guy details now so tracking will begin




Good days guys...Pleas read and advice me


i am the guy that said i will be travelling to lagos to meet with the person processing my drivers license and other vehicle papper...for those who may be seeing this for the 1st time , i posted that i needed to do license and someone called me from here , we talked for a long time and chatted on whatsapp ,he assured me that he is into helping people get new drivers license and he is not a scam , he cleared all my doubt , this is happening around middle of july....i sent him money , so after much delay and argument between both of us ,he asked me to come to lagos for capturing which i posted here and many folks here asked me to go to lagos 1st ...i went to lagos and called him, after many calls he picked my call and asked me to wait at the roadsafty office that someone will come and attend to me by 10, i waited till 5pm i didn't see anyone , then the roadsafty officials were feeling pity for me ,so when i called him to speak with one of the official at least to either give me the number of the person that i am waiting for or tell them (the roadsafty officials) the person name since they all work in the same office he cut the call... so i waited till evening no show from him,i left that Thursday since i don't have much money with me, i slept in an uncompleted building at Mowe...i was in that building throughout friday trying his number and the number was not going through , so friday evening i left with a night bus going to East , we where at Ijebuode when his call entered my phone .....He told me that the only thing he will assure me is that if he did not do the drivers license that i will be getting my money back, that i should calm down by monday he will call me ...Monday passed and he did not call as promised ,but he sent a text that i should not start doing another drivers license implying that there is still hope in the one he is doing .... Yesterday i sent him a text telling him that i can wait but he must tell me his facebook name so i can send him request ,at least i can know who i am doing something with, he ignored that part.......Today again he send me a text telling me that i should give him this week,if i don't get my money i should ask for refund......why i am posting this stuff here is for you guys to advice me ,i don't really want to start posting someone private details here, because i still feel he is genuine but failure to give me his facebook name is clearing some doupt in me that this is Scam. i know you will read this too because you saw the last one i posted and we talked about it , meaning you will see this one too , what is your facebook name ..and if you are advising pleas also be aware that he will read it thanks ....

Sorry Bro... I feel the guy dey use you catch cruise. Personally, I think you have been scammed straight-up. There are all shades of wrongs in your gist.
Don't hesitate to spill his details jare.

Good morning all and have a great day today.
Cheers!!!

I painfully lost fifty thousand naira, it is very painful as I was trying to arrange my house to look a little bit okay, but please, you guys should learn one or two things from all this , more importantly, note the moniker and stay clear of them, I wish there is a way I can get back my money....

But this is life and it goes on....

EKENE101 and URVILLAGEPEOPLE ARE SCAM ( same person though)

He gave the phone to a lady and the lady was pretending to be at a park about to send TV, then I asked to speak with the driver, funny enough, the ekene101 is still trying to act like the driver telling me I should send money first, as painful as the whole issue was, I laughed at myself at that point

So guys that's how the story started and ended...thanks
Nawa o.... I'm sorry for your loss Bro, I'm really sorry. Why not report that particular transaction and acc to Access bank as a fraudulent acc no.
I don't think you can get your money back though, but still report the acc and see how it goes. Then pls don't fail to tag all they nos involved in this as scammers on trucaller.

Agriculture / Re: EGUSI (melon) Buying/selling & Storage Busines In Nigeria by Cupidkc(m): 7:38pm On Aug 05, 2021
chidinmae:


Thanks Cupidkc. This is a confirmation we are getting a deal through FK. Egusi has different bag sizes. 38/40K could be bigger bag while 20k smaller bag. New egusi wasn't this expensive last year. Infact, I expected it to cost around 12/14k this year. It is easy to make mistake with price with all that is going this egusi season.

Also, I noticed that it is cheaper to buy from farmers directly than from the market. I bought a new egusi igbo from a farmer at Adamawa at a cheaper price. The same egusi is being sold at a higher price in the market.

I totally agree with your analysis.

I might be in Abj this weekend for an appointment, if you don't mind I can tag along with you to market next week. Truth be told I was shocked with the 14/20k price too myself, but I decided to keep mute before someone will think I'm trying to spoil his biz. He knows how he source his egusi shaa. Me na from nasarrawa toto I dey usually buy and it's currently between 38/40k, this is excluding expenses o(cost of sack, cost of bagging, sewing, loading/offloading, laada)

DPathfinder:
You are right about sun-drying. Sun-drying play an important role in Egusi storage. If the Egusi is not probably dried and it is stored, it will start to decay and produce white maggots that is like butterfly. Also the Egusi color will turn to ash like color.
So when you buy Egusi for storage, is better you still sundry it once or twice depending on the moisture content. And also check it from time to time, ones you notice the present of the maggots, you sundry immediately.
There are three major species of Egusi commonly available.
- The brownish yellow type. It is the best for storage, it is majorly farm in Benue and Nasarawa states. Once dried, it hardly spoil. Also the demand is higher.
- The brownish yellow type with smaller seed. Mostly farm in North East ( Taraba etc.) Is similar to the aforementioned, but the demand slightly lower. And also the price is cheaper too. And the shell is stronger than the first. Is also good for storage, reduce slightly after storage, unlike the first type that content reduction is noticeable.
- The last is the whitish strong shell type. It is stored too and is the cheapest of all. Mostly farm in Niger state axis. The demand is also high but it is more delicate to store. Make sure you sundry it very well, before storage. And once in a while, still loose the bags and sundry till harmattan.

Above all, Egusi storage like other agro produce storage is profitable. But is important to know this important points
1. Know when to buy: When the price is at least, usually during harvest.
2. Know where to buy: you don't buy goods for storage from every market. Is not advisable to buy storage from mother markets, is better you buy from daughter market. For example, in Nasawara state, people buy Egusi from Kadiroko, Adudu, agwatashi etc and take to Ayaragu to sell on the market day( every Friday), with the aim of making profit. So the price will be slightly higher in Ayaragu market.
3. The most important of all is where to store. I always advise people to keep their storage by themselves. Store it in your house or let a cheap store to avoid story that touch. Most time people sell off stored goods in their stores without telling the owner of the goods or tell stories that their store was rob. Last year Nov/Dec a bag of white beans at Mutubi market Taraba state, was #19,000 by 2 week of June this year the price was #52,000. A store own sold his costumer 50 bags without informing him, and when the costumer demand for his goods, he was telling story that touches. They are still on the case, though not all store owners are like that, but to be on safe side and to have rest of mind. I will advise don't allow whoever buy your storage goods to store it for you.


You have said it all Chief... Couldn't have said it any better.
Was about posting similar thing before I saw this.... Thanks for the lecture jare.
You did well.
Cheers!!!

You can also educate us sir , no monopoly of knowledge.. I heard it’s best to wait until month end so the egusi must have been sundried

The only reason for the wait is for it to dry VERY well, so yes its advisable to wait more before buying egusi for storage.

To whom it may concern....

Don't ever do storage with Niger egusi, you might be tempted to because it's cheaper than that of Lafia. But if you must do storage for egusi, then please let it be Lafia.

Travel / Re: Road Trip: Lagos To Abuja By Road by Cupidkc(m): 10:16pm On Mar 21, 2021
Aanumi16:


Only suggested a safer route where you drive without worrying of being kidnapped or robbed. Might be wrong with the time.

Akoko - Okenne - Lokoja is the last route I will ever take, though a longer trip but will rather take Otukpo through oweto bridge as I suggested earlier or take Otukpa - Ayingba Ajaokuta - Lokoja. Nothing like peace of mind when driving.

You're definitely wrong with the timing... But very right on the last route you wrote. If you're heading to Abuja from SE or SS, it's best to use Enugu - Otukpa - Ajaokuta - Lokoja - Abj.

speedfreak:
Good morning all, I recently moved to Lagos for a new job, having been here for a year I am planning on going back to Abuja for Easter, not really a fan of public buses and due to the surge in traveling Flight rates are astronomical for me and my fiancé, so driving would be my surest, most convenient and cheapest alternative. I have gone through previous travel threads but they all seem dated so I’m looking for an update.
I plan on leaving Thursday morning 5am, Im driving 2012 Honda Accord coupe. My questions would be:
1. First time driving such long distance, is it advisable? I’m not such a tough chap but I’m sure I can manage
2. How safe is the trip? With the kidnapping trend going on.
3. How much would it cost me to fuel? Car is a 4 cylinder without a cat(catalytic converter)
4. How rough will it be on the car? Car is less than 5months old, wouldn’t want to rough it up just yet
5. How accurate is google maps? It estimates 12hrs through Ibadan and 14hrs through illorin.
Aside from the above any other advice or assistance would be welcomed.

First of all, you need to have the mind for such a long trip, because it's really a long one.
Haven't said that, you will be just fine.... Did the trip myself a week before Christmas last year, and totally relied on Google map. I guess Google directed me through Ibadan - Ado Ekiti - Omuo - Kabba - Obajana - Lokoja - Abuja route. Left Lagos by 6:45am and got to Abj by 8pm. Wasn't speeding so much because I was not conversant with the road. Used a tank and half because the car had a missing CAT and was a 2.4L engine.
Safe travels with your madam.
