Fair deal.
I think the 195 bags of cement might not be enough if this quotation includes the casting of the decking.
Please which cement does he want to buy @1850?

I guess all banks have been directed to harmonize their exchange rate.

They should harmonize it down nah!
Why up?
Mtcheew.

@Op, let me assume that this story is true.
Now, the part which says that Pastor Adeboye personally owns an aviation company can never be true because everything that Pastor Adeboye owns has been willed to The RCCG.

LondonCool:
Cracking the foundation

Good job, sir.
I like your spirit.

nelsonB:
Pls guys help me out, how many blocks can I get from a trip of sand givng 30 blocks per bag of cement. Help pls guys

I tipped 30 tonnes of sharp sand.
I moulded 32 blocks per 50kg bag of Dangote 3X cement.
I used 50 bags of cement from the 30 tonnes and the remaining sand might not be able to mould 2 bags of cement.

Hope this helps.

lordkay10:
Any idea whether Chinos shipped today? He usually posts pictures when he does, his allies should update us abeg

Lol @ allies.
I am sure he shipped cos he has sent out the invoices for Sept 14.
He might still post pictures, just wait till around 2am cos that's when he usually come around.

Obiagelli:
I have read countless comments from the pdp and it's supporters about the decision by JP Morgan to remove Nigeria from it's bond index, the truth of the matter is that they had warned to remove is as far back as January 2015 for currency restrictions.

Was Buhari president in January?



www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-05/nigeria-woes-deepen-as-jpmorgan-hits-emefiele-with-debt-warning


NB. I am totally indifferent about currency restrictions or JP Morgan itself.

I heard tonyebarcanista or Barcanista mentioned this as Buhari's failure in his thread.

God will bless you for this write-up.

They were about to confuse me...just that I have never believed anything that comes from them.

Choi! These people are confirmed wailers.

lonelydora:
A colleague of mine threw in his resignation letter sometime ago and immediately got a 50% increase. I have also noticed that after much appraisal, the increment is not always as expected.


Guys what do you think about the picture? Does this happen in your work place?



Please do the needful.

I don't think this would work in a Multi national company that is well.

lordkay10:
Sent him a text, no response, having a feeling he's lost my package, if that happens I'll set this thread on fire I swear! fingers crossed

Yes Bro, I understand how you feel.
The fact that he has not replied to your messages does not imply that he has lost your item.
You and I know that most times he doesn't reply to enquiries.
Do send him another mail and include your name and item tracking number.
Cheers!

lordkay10:
I never received any mail though I'm one of those affected, I don't really understand Chinos at times, why dish out information selectively

I don't think Chinosxl is being selective.
The update he gave me was due to my request and he promised to give another update when he is done with the list of those affected.
Give it a try Bro, request for an update.

fashrola:
Please when did he tell you dis? Via sms or calls?

Today via email.

lordkay10:
I sincerely hope Chinox will not come and tell me the US customs have rufused to release the goods I bought with my hard-earned money, that will be an invitation to World War III

. I am sure you are talking about the 3rd August shipment.

Chinosxl said that the rest of the 3rd August shipment have been released by the customs.

He wants to go through them to know the customers that are affected.

He apologized for all the inconveniences.

Though we all wish that he would be doing this talking himself.

Her nagging might not really be for money or any of the things you mentioned.
Answer these questions:
1. In 10 months, are you still hanging out or living like a bachelor?
2. What percentage of your salary do you spend on your family?
What plans are you making to boost the income of the family.

Your wife's nagging might just be a way of telling you that you can do better with your finances.

GHoJes:
I'm not exonerating your wife, it is often said there's a reason for 'her' nagging.

From what you put up there i can deduce she nags because you are not good with managing finances, may be you are the type that must spend as long as the money is there unless you want to confidently tell me you married an insane woman.

From my screen, you dont speak of being responsible, much more to your wife who is close to your skin. The lifestyle you have up there says your pay is not so bad yet you are always broke, people who earn less are managing better. Why is it that you guys have get to the point of recurrently waiting for the next pay like your life will stop if it dosen't come in the next one week? You dont have savings, investments, future financial security in case of the unforeseen and you say your wife should not fear for the remaining days of her life from what she has seen these ten months.

She may have food to eat but just decide to rub the "brokeness" in your face to see if it will make you sit up. Man, you are no longer a bachelor that can live only for today, you have to make your family financially secure. Seek ways to improve on your financial management and stop using the word broke more than the jobless or a student. If your wife is better with management, keep ego aside and let her do the managing. Also assist her to get any small job or business. You get work, e be like this, naim be say you for run comot house if you and her no get anything.

@Op, take this and it shall be well with you and your family.

pretts:
Stanbic IBTC rep on Twitter quoted 328.82 to 1GBP for card transactions the week that just passed.

Thanks dear. I didn't believe that rate they quoted for me.

Naital:
Zenith
NGN339.58 to GBP1 on 3/9/15

Imagine, and StanbicIBTC customer service told me that 1GBP is N301.66.
Can anyone this stanbic rate or they are just quoting the official CBN rate.

chinosxl:
This thread is not my only means of communicating with my customers, I have business emails, phone #s you can call or text. My manager is also there to attend to everyone. I have never claimed to be the best. There are other shippers on NL before me and more after me. Customers make their choice on who to use.

SMS used to be the best way to communicate with you cos you did reply mine even faster on several occasions. But recently, you reply only when you feel like.

Events in the past have proved that information from your managers can not be relied on. Me no longer call them.

We know that there are other shippers on NL, we have made our choice and our choice is Chinosxl / LSM. All we are saying is, treat us well sir.

There would definitely be issues, but you can do better than this.

BizBloke:
[color=#000033]Yes, DieuMerci.

It depends on the mode of Local Freight chosen. I could revert it to the longer delivery time-frame if that's a problem.

Thanks.[/color]

I thought as much, just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Meanwhile, I will send you a link from eBay UK for the same item but exactly the milk color that wifey wanted.

Etinosajay:
I'll let the insults pass.


Good job chinosxl, I guess that's what angered you. So I've said it again.

Keep the insults coming

Why are going to let the insults pass? You started it, after all it's a faceless forum so better don't stop.

Of course, I was expecting you to say it again and again just like the sycophant you are.

Etinosajay:
Lol...I didn't know you were the OP. If my post gives u headache, please simply ignore it and mind ur own business.

If you're paranoid and looking for someone to join u in wailing, I'm not sure I have that time.

The OP has delivered my package and I'm not at liberty to explain to you when I give a commendation/feedback.

If you're the one who truly knows how shipping works, why not buy a cargo plane and do it yourself without flaws. Or better still take the advice redcliff gave u before.

Again, if your package is amongst the 20%, and you're not content with being patient as you see the OP has made effort, you can go and arrest him then.

NL these days. U give a commendation for a job done, e go turn trouble.

It is sycophants like you that made Chinos to believe that he is the best thing to happen to importation and show no regard for his customers.
I know you too well, you are just a scumbag.
You claim over-sabi when you know next to nothing.
And claim not to have time when all you do is buy and sell.
Nonsense commendation / feedback.

Etinosajay:
I wasn't talking 2u actually. People who know how shipping works, will understand better.

I have not forced u to agree with me anyways.

So you were talking to yourself on a public forum.
You were applauding someone who abandoned his business thread for months and ignored all forms of communication.
You truly know how shipping works.

Etinosajay:
Good job chinosxl. Please make sure this delay is nipped in the bud.

So the entire Aug 3rd drama is now a good job.

chinosxl:
BOSS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT FISH YOU SMELL, LIKE SOMEONE ALREADY SUGGESTED, YOU CAN FLY DOWN TO MY OFFICE AND TALK TO ME.

You, and the person making that suggestion, are wrong.
You gave people the room and reason to say anything on this thread so don't come play the victim here.
My items got to u on July 10 & 18. Since then no info from you and no reply to questions.
We all are not wired to just sit back and keep quiet.

I am yet to get my 3rd August invoice. Chinosxl said that he would give us an update. Has he not finished sending the invoice?

BizBloke:
[color=#000033]Hi DieuMerci,

[size=13pt]INVOICE[/size]
Product Cost: £69.99

Local Freight Fee (Amazon UK): £9.99
Freight Fee: £40
Service Charge: £3

Sub-Total: £122.98
Discount: -£0.00

TOTAL: £122.98 (N44,888)

Thanks.[/color]

The local freight fee displayed for the item is £7.99.
Any reason why you quoted £9.99?

BizBloke:
[color=#000033]Hi DieuMerci,

While I'd love to have your order, I'm sorry but we've currently taken off that service from our UK route. We'd have to make the purchase from the scratch.

Thanks.[/color]

Ok, this is the link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B006VS6G7G/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ARMMSTNREKUG7

I have an item which I want to purchase myself from Amazon UK and send to you for shipment to lagos.
It weighs 8kg and packaging dimensions are 45.5L x 27.5W x 42.0H cm.
What is the cost for lagos pick up at your office?

Pls who knows the stanbic rate for pounds?

brabus:
My brother, I don't have any issues with you. And I'm not bothered about your opinion but what is mine is mine. I don't want to take it by force before you say they came to steal from your site. I really have the power to do that using every legal means at my disposal. The Brabus you knew has moved on.

Next week. I'll be waiting for your call. Thank you.

@Brabus, each time you keep moving on and moving on to more controversies.
Don't you think something is wrong somewhere?

Ok hajji.
It's going to be an interesting thread.

doca18:
Yes, y not
My hussy do enter d labor room with me. I do enjoy his presences n his wonderful loving words. Its also fun seeing him recording it.

I do witness but I don't record the delivery. God forbid something happens to the video and you find it on Facebook.
I only record the baby's first moments.
