Am just glad Obama is out he's a disgrace to all black folks

And yet he will forever remain known for being the 44th President of America and the first black Man to take a shit in the presidential carper.
Maybe you should do something of note beyond posting on NL so you don't remain a disgrace to your family.

uwajeh:
Bonny Light Crude was over $100 per barrel in 2014, that translates to over $200 million for 2 million barrels. How could the guy have paid $1 million to secure 2 million barrels of crude. It's either the Donald Latella guy is a crook himself or the story is not accurate.

The 1 million is either the performance bond or logistic fee that these crude oil sales scammers use. too bad they met an Oyibo that has time to report them.

People need to understand the business model of the recharge card business before castigating the operators.

Operators generate the PINs and then most times sub card printing out to third parties.

If third party decides to sell the valuable real estate on the face of the card for extra bucks, I for one as a true born capitalist will not begrudge them.

Any body that has complaints should maybe also complain about those PINs that come in plain paper without the scratch panel.

the margins in the recharge printing business are very thin and I can assure you the vendor that came up with this iea is smiling to the bank.

Cheers.

In a perfect world where people have consciences, they should.
However you know the Land we live in.


IMO, this strike is now politically motivated. Though Jona should as a point of urgency axe Nyesom Wike.
If DPJ will allow.

sorry state of affairs.

Pistorius should be tried and if found guilty, the full wrath of SA Law visited upon him.


Now my take:

that dude is as guilty as bleep.

Do you guys remember his antics at the last paralympics? I've also watch a couple of his interviews on youtube and with benefit of hindsight I can say he has anger management issues.

What I think happened:

He has a fight with the girl friend. it gets nasty, she goes into the bathroom to cool off or hid from him, he picks his glock in a fit of rage and basts her to the afterlife.

Pistorius should HANG! I know a lot of wonderful disabled people so, someone else will take his place as beacon of whatever.

superbloke: Just heard it on the radio. Now he's got bargaining power. I believe he's going to be convinced and will eventually stay on.

Keshi has bargaining FIRE.

Now the true colour of Nigerians will show.

Amokachi will back stab and take the Job, Oliseh is also chomping at the bit.

Keshi can still move on with his head High.

The truth is our NFF hiding under FIFAs corrupt statues will always get their way and keep running down our football.

Down with the NFF

Damn!
Its been almost a year I havent posted on my fav thread.

Well I kinda kept touch tjo the thread has slowed a whole lot.

First place I inspect when renting is the bathroom and kitchen plumbing. Once they are neat and level of capital to committed bringin em to my std is ok, I'm in. Rest of my residence remain sparsely furnished as I hate clutter. Since my Uni days chics always c my convenience as a welcome change from Hostel situation, so I've carried that on. Maybe when the Missus comes along she can bother with matching drapes, and all that jazz. My throne room n bathtub have to be spotless, shining and smell real nice. Chics luv dat.

Okonjo has always been a PDP member right from the obasanjo days.Abi has the meaning of Political appointee changed?

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS.

I'm guessing that in line with the inflationary pressures on the economy my targets for the new FY will increase 200%

GOD DEY, no shaking.
Besides I really don't have any expletive to give this season, so they should bring it on.

I see lots of silver linings in this fuel subsidy fiasco especially for the entrepreneurs. However it will be a female dog!

Peace y'all

PHIPEX:
MAY GOD BLESS MY ALMA MATER!!!!

Greatest Lion, These haters want to cramp our style.

Ojukwu lived a great life, impacted a lot of lives and charted the course of history.

They can give hima a post humous GCFR or even institue the Order of Ojukwu or something.

However they should leave my school alone.

Peace

Dude let me paint you a scenario.


If your James Cameron or Spielberg even walks up to me, and says "I have this idea, blah blah blah, I need $200m to make it work can you invest?"
Omo, I'll use my family for blood money and sell my village to boot just to get in on that action.

what am trying to say is, these folks have made a name for themselves and have what it takes to push any project.

another eg. Hancock; that Will Smith flick was a critical failure (hated it myself) but still scored big at the box office (saw it twice with two different chicks @ Genesis and na me been dey pay, pop corn, big coke et al)

Why: cos Will Smith is bankable (sure those two chics wanted to scream his name whilst i was shafting em) and has the track record.


so make i ask

who sabi you?
how many Aki & paw paw movies have you done?

Guy, I'll give Teco Benson my annual salary before I can even give you N5k and thats a fraction of what i spend on TGIF.

BTW: i work in finance and i'm about closing a N500m financing deal  for a new Cinema chain about to hit y'all in the months ahead.

why would i do that? cos the promoters have a track record in cinema (over 50yrs combined) and know whats up and are known in enertainment circles (globally and locally),

again i ask WHO SABI YOU?

WETIN U DON DO BEFORE?

Nice one Inspired.

I've still got my eye on the 2010 Camry SE.

I've got heavy strain on me resources right now but we should get things rolling early next year.

I'm liking this your Fx concept (as a player in the market meself)
maybe we can see ways in which to partner.

peace

How do you put something out of the reach of the average Nigerian (esp. the youths of today)?

Answer: you put it in a book.

Seun our people stopped reading a long time ago, maybe save for a few. recent abysmal performances  in WAEC/NECO, Civil service tests etc attest to that.

However, all hope is not lost. there is a silver lining in these dark clouds.

With the explosion of Smartphones, handhelds and next generation tablets (Ipad, playbook, kindle) maybe energies should be dissipated in finding a way to deliver the content of these books via these platforms.

After all these devices are a primary reason people don't read books no more. Most media is now consumed through them.
So seun as an e-entrepreneur, you might want to reassess this.

Besides bookshops are dying real fast in developed climes whilst the Amazons are on the ascendancy.


peace

ps* I've got plans at advanced stages of development and will definitely not sell out for a paltry N60,000.
So if you are interested in a partnership, hit me up.

I appreciate the responses.

Y'all see the conundrum now?

Great process implemented by incompetent A-holes (to borrow @oybs line ) is tantamount to disaster.

That my friends is the problem of banking in Nigeria.

Soludos adventure created a manpower need that was filled with all sorts of charlatans.

Professionalism is one word that should not be used whilst describing the average Nigerian Banker.

Used to see myself as some sorta crusader but this force pass me and I shall leave this their industry the way i met it.

Sad tale i tell ya.

peace

Sup folks?

Life at the grindhouse has been hellish @ best.


We all know about the Ps in marketing situation (people, process, product, place, yadi yada)

In the Nigerian banking space, the product is the same across all the players, so distinguishing factor is clearly the people and the process.

Granted both are extremely important, so i ask if on pain of death you are forced to prioritize, which do you think deserves more focus?

So i dont set a bias, i'll reserve my answers till i get some feedback from the house.

Hope y'all be rolling in the paper.

Cheers

I get your drift, all am saying is given the record of our dear NPF, I doubt if anybody will be at ease transaction within 20 yards of one.

anyways good-luck with your sale, I was a solara lover back then but after a lecture about half cars from my cousin, I'm now a camry man.

sledge_id:
pls Note: 4 security reason's transaction might be conducted in a police station since am not really am auto-dealer,
, call 01-9548068, for more info, thank u.

For security reasons! Is this a station of the NPF or a lost Precinct of the NYPD situate at Alagbon that we don't know of?

Driggler,

You are in Safe Hands, and your Money is safe with us, We have to up the budget for 2010 / 2011 Toyota Camry.

It costs an Arm and a Leg to Custom Clear that Car[b] With Nigerian Customs, costs 1m Naira. for Clearing only. Notwithstanding, Nigerian customs Know US So they [/b]give us Concessions On Prices.

I will get you a Clean 2010/2011 Camry, clean Title, No accident and shall come with 1 Year Warranty.

Cheers
[quote][/quote]What is it with this car that gives the boys in gray a hard on?

anyways Its all good, keep up the search, but note the options and give me the ball park on what we are working with figure-wise. I know too well the effect of FX fluctuations on budgets, but no worry about that cos I've got an ace or two up my sleeves which we could roll with.

Your reputation is impeccable, so I no dey fear.

Peace.

Mr Inspired.

I need me a 2010 - 2011 Toyota Camry SE, XLE or whatever. pls note the ff. options:

Black or metallic gray
Blackout front sport grille (very important)
front fog lamps (oku okpulu in igbo parlance - veery important)
rear spoiler (crucial but if you no fit, no wahala)
Leather (not so critical)
4 cylinder if you can hack it.
standard entertainment package (6CD changer, MP3 the works)
better follow come rims (17" for no bad ooh)

All should come in at not more than N3.5m (however, diggler is a business man who understands the concept of value added)

I hit ya up with a request via ur site, my contact dey dia.

Holla at your boy!

NB: I aint in a rush so take your time bro. You dont dabble with the salvage bull so I'm placing so many things in your trust account with me.

Peace and more grease.

Sup folks

Erything is crazy up in this.

fast approaching Half year and Targets are far from met, Market is shot to Cow dung.

Hope y'all are having it better than moi.

I keep hearing crap like we are nnow disposed to lending from the bosses.
But i've had 5 good credit requests tossed over the past couple of months.

and to think i spent good time analyzing that crap and covering the stupid banks posterior.

I have come to the conclusion that the Nigerian banking Industry is not ready for me (esp the commercial side of things).

Anybody got pointers on how i can get into any of these Intl Development Finance Institutions?


Hope y'all be conquering.

Peace

Nigeria being in the top 5 of African team rankings, gets a bye into the first group stage.

which makes this qualification process no different from the last one.

i dont see what the big deal is.

GTB is a joke

Go to FCMB, Stanchart or Fidelity.

It'll cost you a little to open your own dom account but if you rapport with the R/ship officers, they can get a third party to assist you.

though sending 50 euros will cost you minimum of 18 Euros but not more than 25euros.

the reason for this is a standard telex charge of around N3000 or up to 18euros per transfer irrespective of amount transferred.

First Big Ups to Aliko Dangote, IMO that dude should be worth closer to $25bn if u account for every every like someone said earlier.

Also a lot of other nigerians should be on that list but their wealth is shrouded in all sorts of controversy & forbes onl publishes verifiable assets.
which is why ppl like the Marc Rich boys and some other Monte Carlo, Swiss based Billionaires rarely make forbes lists.

now unto things;
I am Igbo.

From Anambra to be precise.

I also work in financial services and understand the Igbo mindset when it comes to business and money.

Until the igbo man jettisons the concept of Okoro & sons ltd. and start setting up going concerns, we will never see the forbes list.

Since various governments have been in power, we all know the various Igbos that have benefited from the various governments.
Emeka Offor was connected to various governments, yet his Oil and gas concerns are just License trading outfits.

Yet people like Kase lawal, the Sahara boys even Wale tinubu of Oando are making waves on the global scale. and boosting up their institutions

All this Igbo agitators had better sip the cool aid and shut the eff up.

Peace

Howdy folks

This should be my first post of the year.

Till July when the new govt starts taking shape (this our government driven economy sucks), i'll play a holding pattern b'ness wise, no aggressive new ventures till we see what gives.

Meanwyl i'll be on the trail of these political types, tho the circle that shares that friggin politics money aint widening no more.
And lots of my contacts are not in the deep end of the money pool (PDP) no more.

Anyways i'll just enjoy my vacation which kicked off on the 14th and runs till next month.

Wish y'all profitable days ahead.

peace

The informal hawala/aboki bureau de change network processes not less than $400Mn a day in this country.
those boys were actually moving that money to dubai, which they wont admit to cos its a crime.
and its not their money, they move it to dubai

these two boys are just victims of some over ambitious Airport staffer who felt he wasnt rogered properly.


Like someone said, they will be bailed out promptly and if once cash dollar of that kudi is found missing, some blokes are going to kiss six feet.

This

Sup sup folks.

Can see y'all have been busy.

@ 9 to 5 has been a real grind this past two weeks but thankfully it has all come to an end (for next two weeks at least)

CBN did not help matters with their suspension of FX sales last week. But sharp guys be smiling to the bank cos we saw two to three point spike in USD price.
Though things cooled a bit as at yesterday.

The Customers were also pouring in the xmas/appreciation gifts (even though coy policy dictates i declare, Who go do that one kwanu)
Got me one Live chicken and a Turkey though that status 'Live" go change by 7.00am sharp tomorrow.


Y'all have a blast now, i sure am gonna have one.

PS.  Also one thing i noticed when it comes to gifting, I was more than generous this year doling out the gifts (cash & kind) and boy oh boy i got it back 100 fold.
So i say Give for it shall be given back unto you 100fold.


Peace y'all

Sup folks.

Its been a bit.
Tho i've been following the thread sorta. Had a real laugh with the 13th month topic.

@Office
December is usually a 3 quarter month (usually is the operative here'). with my holiday kicking off on the 24th when markets close and we start attending trad weddings, white weddings, house warmings, Chieftaincy, thanksgiving, etc etc (so much free booze in the name of Rship mgt) for the next week till new Year.
Its works like so, Most of my trader customers wire funds all year round with the textile/holiday season products boys peaking sometime between July and Sept .

Then when December comes by we are drowned out in cash as the containers come in, they offload, make sales and fund their accounts ensuring i close the year with 200-300% target achievement on deposits.
Also on the Risk side, those OD accounts that have been in debit since July and hardly cleaned up bounce back into the black, sometimes in excess of 400% the facility amount granted.

Now GEJ in his desperate bid to occupy the villa has turned S#!t to S#!t.
the ink on the import reversals never dry meanwhile men dem have Billions worth of containers being loaded in the ports of Guangzhou, Zheijang and all em Chinko places.

This one dude has 150 containers (i kid you not) 150 containers of assorted items (mostly FMCGs and other holiday items) worth in excess of N2billion on the way. He has cleaned out my USD quota for the week and as we speak even the mallams in Lasgidi are scampering to meet demand.

I just pray suckers dont get burned (too badly cos the most definitely will) when this policy is once again reversed as is typical in our musical chair style of governance.

God bless Naija (Dora can go hug a transformer or use some 'high voltage' love machine if she desires)
