₦airaland Forum

ocelot2006:
this post is a reply to one earlier made with regards to Nigeria owning a marine unit. Yes, the country had a standing marine unit during the civil war (the 3rd marine commando division). But that division was later transformed to the present 3rd armoured division currently headquartered in jos. all the amphibious battalions we currently have (Port Harcourt and Calabar) are all subunits of 82 division, as it is the country's specialized div.

With regards to having a new marine force, I don't think it's necessary. What we need to do is focus on the amphibious battalions we have. We need to provide them with additional patrol boats, fast attack crafts, landing crafts, hovercrafts, communication kits, and body armour. We also need to provide the airforce units that support these battalions with more attack and transport helicopters as they come in very handy during patrols and combat insertion and extraction. We also need maritime recon assets like more fixed wing aircrafts and unmanned arial vehicles (UAVs). But what we need mostly is a change in our training doctrine. That means we need more training in counter-insurgency warfare, river-rine patrols, counter-terror ops, recon and surveillance, urban terrain ops, and direct action. We also need more officers and NCOs that can think on their feet and outside the box.

Now, the Nigerian military has actually acquired some of these assets. These include maritime patrol aircrafts (2 ATR-48s & 2 A-109s) for the airforce and navy respectively, and a high tech surveillance system that includes two UAVs from Israel for the navy, and two unmanned seaborne vehicles for the navy (also isreali). The establishment of new special operations units in the army, navy, and police also marks a change in thinking within the military. However, a lot still needs to be done.

OL BOY U too much, reading ur post was like reading a Clancy novel with all the detail on the military Hardware.


But like u said, a lot needs to be done & the money to pay for all this would be put to better use developing the delta.

Think about it, The per capita expenditure on the average US military man is around $2 million.(based on 2008 defense budget of $713bn & assuming 500 ppl in the us military) Now u should know it probably costs more to train a Marine which is like entry level Special Ops not to talk of Green Berets, Recon units etc etc.

Like someone said earlier we shuld free the area & let MEND provide the security since they've proven their superiority in the region over time.
Now $2m is like N300m and u know what 10% of that can do in the Niger delta.

This is some freaky shyte.

A couple of months back (easter monday or so) the boys & moi hung out with some chics @ one of em hotels.

On said date the Pool wuz kinda crowded & the honies insisted on swimming.
Us boys not being in the mood decided to nurse shine shine & udeme on the side.

After a some bottles with the honies delaying, one of em beer inspired topics came up & guess what it wuz about.

One of my homeboyz postulated that if all the suckaz in the pool were to jack-off @ that instant, the likelyhood of one of em honies getting loaded with a chlorinated INCREDIBLE HULK was like 90% possible.

And after a drawn out argument & more bottles we all agreed it was possible.

My ribs have been hurting since i stumbled on this thread, some crazy shyte, LWKMD!!!!!!!!!

Just watched the video on you tube thoroughly.

If i were a judge i could let Obama off on a technicality as he was helping the other chic whilst watching his footing.

But Monsieur Sarkozy was 100% scoping that chic in red.

The video leaves enuf room for a debate.

But i'm sure sarkozy was most definitely scoping that ass.
wonder were berlusconi was

Hello Peeps

The work front has been a mixed bag l8ly.

FYE was a moderate success for urs truly but i'm in no way looking forward to December cos
na "GUNFIGHT IN BROAD STREET 2009" na im go happenas we keep looking for innovative ways to capture ur money as deposits.

Btw dem suckas @ Head Office r reviewing targets & rumour has it mine is goin up some 75%.
I just hope the mega profits we posted on the wake of the FX storm will in our Share-of-Profits cos omo boy don dey eye some assets for acquisition & its cash down for me no Consumer finance crap (na we dey run the 19 so i know all the pitfalls)

Anyways my game plan is to work a redeployment to one of em Head Office desk/brain jobs (though i go still get target, my field experience will give me an edge).



Anyways to all ma peeps i wish y'all well in ur endeavors

If u base ur decision to join any of the above three banks largely on the  Financials, then u're getting it wrong my friend.

However @ entry level (from marketing perspective cos thats the glam part of banking)
all three institutions base entry level pay ranges from N1m pa to N1.7m pa cos in the end entry level get levels

Zenith
Here the pressure no be beans especially with the tough economic times.
So get ur God fathers in place to aid you meet your target. Once u're doing that money will not be an issue
Pay is tied to performance especially the higher you climb.

GTB here u've got a strong & respected brand with good corporate culture.
So if you wanna learn service excellence kinda banking, this is the place for you.
Plus they train the hell outta their ppl.

Fidelity This is a low profile new generation bank. They are average in most spheres.
Plus unlike zenith, performance is not tied to pay, though if u wanna be promoted, bring in the business.
Also they train their staff a lot & u'll learn a thing or two about conservative banking in a new generation setting.

So like i said Money aint every thing cos the entry pay is not what counts. But ur worth (financial & otherwise ) down the line

Oga tkb, I wish u the very best on your birthday.

@Topic

I'll just shun the yarns & dedicate the space to MJ

@Topic
Had a whirlwind of a day and even tho its over Mondays gonna be a real b!+(# cos enuf carryover from today dey.

Keep wondering why us Rainmakers in d Institution also have to do some mundane crap like documenting a/c's and shit.
Aint it bad enuf i have to win the a/c in d first place.

Spent the whole day selling a payroill solution to some Coy i've been courting for weeks.
In the end them blokes bought in and now they want it set up and running by next payday which is next week Wednesday.
Now cos its year end, everybody is jumpy & since Internal Control is on d prowl my operations folks aint playing ball on waiving some shit for me.
Add to the mix i had to capture the data of some 120 employess of said coy most of whom dont trust ppl in sharp suits and are resisting the change.
Finally i've still got 11 days to Year End & 24 hours aday just aint enuf for me.

Oh & did i add that my neck of the woods just became the most insecure area in 9ja ( all d moneybags r on vacation & aint trusting anyone that knows their financial status incase u arrange kidnap their pet dog or sumthin)

Anywayz all in all, I go do like tkb attend a couple of weddings tomorrow
most def i'm gonna score some greedy husband seeker 2mrw. (I go marry na scam since wey back)

Peace

The Future of a banker is as promising as the amount of Deposits & Profit he brings to the bank. shekina.

Even if the top is crowded, if u hammer dem with enuf cash courtesy of ur Godfathers in government or chopping from government (na where d money dey) then bliv u me u will be in the BOD sooner than u can say Okro Soup.

Everybody knows about the Fair lady in our capital city that became an unofficial ED in less than 8 years.

U need to see how the MD of the bank pampers (not alluding to any sexual kini so get ur minds outta d gutter) this honey, just so some hawk eyed mofos from rival institutions dont poach her.

Which brings my second point.
As u dey perform for ur Bank, if they fail to acknowledge & reward u, u've got 22 other options that need u.

Just my 2 kobo

Cristalz:
@diggler
How is Sanusi treating all 'em banks? Any new rules different from Soludo's, or still the same rules?

Sanusi can't rattle much for now. Plus its still early days so i'm guessing he's still awed by the new digs.
I heard CBN guvnorship has some really ILL perks attached.
I so envy ur ass ryte now going home by 3pm to watch the Confed cup.
Can u bliv d only clips i've managed to watch was the Rossi & De Rossi decimating the US.

Havent even seen my Boy 'El Nino' in action.

@Ajanlekoko
the bloodhound in me is liking d smell of ur SPV, my Institution is currently involved (like $25million & counting) in one that has its focus on the real estate scene. as i speak we're making some serious marks in the VI skyline.
maybe it could be my springboard to the Board.

AjanleKoko:
So I've been spending more of my time catching the ABJ nightlife, which seems to be composed mostly of men-chewing-meat-and-drinking-beer joints. Cristalz, how far nah?

Peace.

This brings back memeories of my service year in that city.
Was officially Inducted into the SAN (Senior Alcoholics Nigeria) hall of fame.

Plus i heard them Garden joints where we decimated Roast Fish have been banished, what a shame.




@Topic.
My quest for year end Prestige money is still ongoing.
I've got some 8 digit deals coming in next week.

But my focus for now is on a rainmaker 9 digit baby that @ this point i'll stop short of committing murder to bed this honey.

Anyways hope y'all are having profitable times


Peace

I'm like one of Soludo's biggest fans especially on the Economic front.
And I wont be far from the truth in saying that he's one of the best technocrats this country has seen.

However

With all due respect to anambra politics, Soludo aint got what it takes to navigate those waters.
To me he is much in the same mould as the incumbent Mr Peter Obi.
Who seems to have this warped view that you can run a state like Anambra as if its your private business.

Anambra has a too much "Big '4 nothing' Men" and to effectively navigate them waters you need to be very tactful.
Since this dispensation started, i think the Governor that best managed these Big men was Chris Ngige 'Onwa'. cept for the running battles with the Uba clan.

Left for me, Soludo should go back to the pimped out digs he arranged for himself @ UNN's economics department and maybe even play some role in taking that institution to the top whilst whiping out some future versions of himself.

Hey hey

Ze fire is coming back on slowly
, speaking of fires had to put one out a few minutes back @ my crib
Some crazy shyte's been goin down these past few weeks. (still on still, no weapon fashioned against urs truly shall prosper)

coupled wiv ma financial year end debacle i'm neck deep in u know what.

Anywayz i'm still keeping my head cool cos in the end 'i no go kill my self' (if i do, highest na 1 minute silence & the work go continue)

@Tollu
When thou shalt start smiling & laughing, na so so beg we go dey beg u to stop.
Cos one thing i bliv in is this "with determination, hardwork & the ryte outlook (+ GOD on ur side no doubt) whats urs is urs
no haterz can stop that.

Once again where's Crizzle @ is she putting us up for adoption or what?

Peace peeps

Sup Folks,

Noticed the thread is on the wane.
Maybe its mid-year blues or sumthing.

On my end its year end & the hustle just got rougher.

Hope all ma peeps r alrite.

Keep up d hustle

Ciao

Fellow Hustlers,

Sorry 4 my AWOL status for the past month or so.
I went on a course & tho i kept tabs on d thread, posting was a major challenge.

I can c all my peeps r doing what they know best.

Also i extended the warmest welcome greetings to d new folks.

Bizness is mad these days as we've been turned to Immigration/Ticket verification experts by these PTA/BTA seeking blokes.
60% of d requests we get r supported with OLUWOLE.com visas & Ethiopian Airline tickets.

Even dudes that dont know where d nearest airport is now front with their chinese visas & tickets.

As for me its all about the 'Dead CBN guvnors, Ziks head & Awo's head'.

Holla

No my broda, Furthest i've been up north wuz ABi for NYSC (best year of my life)

I'm in the SE, up-country is basically anywhere but lag in our Industy's wack lingo.

Hello My people.

Big ups to 'Welcome to My Office' , the sanest thread on all of NL, i'd like to warmly welcome all the new hustlers

y'all know this is the place to be.

@Cristalz
This game we r playin is only gonna get nastier.
So as Guyman wey i be i'd better stay ahead of d curve.
I'm tryin to see if i can get back to my true callin & what i'm actually trained to do
For now the prospects seem bright cos my Bank Marketing seems to have given me an appeal that forward thinking employers dig (esp in this tough climate)
Besides i'm d entrepreneurial type & the 'yes boss' thing kinda sucks (4get what naeto C thinks)

@Crackles
Naija is @ d forefront of d last frontier in global prosperity i.e. AFRICA (Asia has been conquered plus dem punjabs, chinks & all aint lettin no Negro come to their hood to feed fat unlike us)
also ur approach to d thing is d best.

E be like say we go give u CV nah on how pesin don dey explore options

@TKB
I'm a holla @ u on FB make we reason d FX thing tho since i'm up-country there might be a few limitations, but lets relate first.

@Jericho

So u're a gunner, well y'all r on d resurgent path but there's something about that Chelsea squad that scares me.
As for me, i'm d leader of d Fernando Torres & Lionel Messi Cult (If they join 3SC 2mrw, it becomes my team)


@Topic
Common year end is here to stay & I predict a scenario where u'll see bankers in those suits (expensive, cheap all join) having shootouts in the Offices, residences & most especially hotel rooms of the HNI's.

The next boom industry is gonna be Executive protection for Bank marketers.

Matter o fact this has kinda started happening already.

One of the HNI's in  my domain needed to mop up funds for a proposed project. Immediately word got out , omo come see as bankers turn d man house to Leningrad for Part II of Enemy at the gates (Neighbours where asking the mans security if he now deals on Bank Corollas, Civics & all dem entry level japanese cars that us banks r known for).
The dude in question is said to be responsible for 85% of some ppls cabal


Anyways d week wuz too short
i've got a million things hanging

I should be going for a course from mid next week for a few weeks so i need to fortify d Cabal cos d vultures r circling with enuf red eye.

Y'all keep d hustle profitable (yeah, yeah i've been watching dat CNN Junkie Richard Quest a lot l8ly)

peace

sup sup peeps

Compliments of the season (in arrears if u like cos where i'm @ peeps r still in a celebratory mood).

Had myself a blast (literally) over the hols & dem honeys had a real taste of Mr Diggler & i got rejuvenated for d road ahead.
Hope y'all had as much fun as i did.

I've been having a slow week as we build up on d balances taken down for easter spending.
However developments in d industry has got a me seeking options.


this is to officially inform y'all that i'm putting a contract out on dem mofos called the Bankers committee.

Its seems d 15% cap on deposits rates are here to stay.

CBN just released guidelines/penalities for contravening & boy r these things steep or what.
(in the end, a conscientious part of me hope these new policies work it'll help sanitize d friggin industry)

Meanwyl omo boy is codedly stepping up plans for a change in career
quoting my man Danny Glover "i'm getting too old for this sh!t"

Anyways, shout outs to all ma peeps Cristalz (the initiator), Tollu, TKB, Jarus, Crackles (sup up with ur game?), Jericho,
Ajanlekoko (My guy if na 4 telecom hook a brova up nah) & all d other House members (new & old) i wish y'all profitable ventures ahead.

2nd d motion by kokoye

For a lot of ppl in this country that amount is about 5 times their ANNUAL income (remember a lot more aint got no income).

So unless u've got like 4 wives and 20 kids plus d 300 odd relatives, inlaws & general Dependants, u'll live & quite well too.

Hi All

Water Cooler gossip is such a fvcking drag.
And today's edition was fuelled by a couple of juicy shiite that went down l8 Friday after i'd left.

1.) Some chic slapped some guy
2.) Some other chic & d hubby r having some marital issues

These two basically formed d backdrop 4 d day @ my Office (4 most of em blokes with colorless lives)

As for moi, i was being naughty as i literally stole a couple of juicy accounts from a sister branch (note to self: invest in some body armour)
Also i raked in a massive haul today in the upper 8 digit region (Mr cabal can come lick my ebony Arse)


All in all i thank d Almighty for the lil things that make life interesting

Hope y'all r living in interesting times

peace

HOURLY PAYMENT!!!!

I go die ooohhhhh

Its like u've not heard of ghost workers abi?

the next thing is u'll see some peeps clocking in 28 hours in a day, yes u read right 28 hours a day

So shun that thing

I sincerely believe we can get the current system to work especially if we can get to measure the actual work done like @poster said.

Long live Nigeria

Trust the Indians

Whilst we our people sit around on our balls scrambling for crude lifting contracts, Oil blocs, stealing super eagles $200k (where is dat money by d way) and other government handouts
these ingenious hardworking & ruthless bizmen are busy getting stuff done and stacking their cash money by the bundles.

Hi y'all

@Jericho
U aint being sentimental u've just shown us that u posses something thats going extinct real fast amongst us humans A CONSCIENCE.
I know all about being ruthless in d game but being able to get a good nites sleep still pays.

I'd even advise u dont pay her immediately but wait till after d frenzy from burial etc etc has died down then give her d cash so it'll be useful also make em typical African red-eye relatives no smell d money.

meanwyl if u wan fix d cashmoney make d payout dey a bit sweeter dont hesitate to holla @ ur boy (turkish.diggler@yahoo.com) i'll set u up with some sweet rates but u'd better act fast b4 d new CBN policy on deposit rates trickles down.

@Vee
Mr Cabal is the Alpha & Omega for all Bankers (Especially in Nigeria)

Speaking Layman, its the Total sum of cashmoney u have sitting in ur clients accounts at any given time.

So each day a special set of people set out to harass y'all (preferably the richest 1%) to recycle more of their cash (hard earned or stolen we dont really care) amongst our various institutions.

@Topic

Slow day,
It tried to rain but didnt.
Had to resolve some excessive charge issues for some clients.
I'm seriously considering quiting d FX game (shit is becoming too icky & EFCC, d Internal Auditors/inspectors etc etc r nosing around, No be me dem go carry shine)

Hi y'all

hey Crackles ur own betta, Congrats on the Ride
On top Meltdown, Credit crunch & the other slew of buzz words for d scenario @ hand u're living it up Kentro, Big ups man
i handled an A4 2002 model couple of years back, the ride wuz a dream. My friend that owned d car was scoring Abj honeys like mad, All he said to d kokolets wuz "Baby enter the atmosphere"      OK OK i kinda exaggarated on that one but y'all catch d drift.

Meanwhile Mr C its like u'll arrange a small stimulus package for ya ppl nah

@Vee
Please accept my belated welcome holla.
Hope u get the Oil Job

Can u give us a clue which country's embassy u work for (u dont have to be specific, just a pointer)

@Topic
Today was the last day of the month & if u're observant u'll c us "Corporate Hustlers" as wehit the streets with venom & employ all tactics (legit & otherwise) to bloat Mr Cabal.

Bankers (Business Developers i.e.) r at their most desperate @ the end of every Month, & off course those key financial year milestones i.e. Quarters & d Year itself.

So if u're looking to curry favors from bankers, those r d best times to do em in (esp if u're looking to get laid real cheap)

As for me i kinda maid out nice but not too nice (plus me thinks there's this MILF thats hitting on me _{probably my mind running amok as usual but we go see}.)

Anyways to d rest of the Gang keep up the Hustle.

The Mexican government would not be fighting a drawn out & potentially destructive war with the Sinaloa & other cartels if drugs were legal.

instead they'd be raking in taxes from an estimated $60billion a year industry.

hell!! Guzman was declared a billionaire by forbes & thats tax free baby.

Legalize all drugs & tax the shit outta them especially the more dangerous specs (LSD, Crack Cocaine etc)

Also we wouldnt be having the madness in the FX market right now cos most of my Narco-logisitcs Baron kinsmen would freely root out their $ bills to stabilize the Naira.

So i say legalise drugs, prostitution (make this one tax free, cos kitten should be free or at least cheap).

The NFF (where $200,000 dollars can walk of a safe) will never give the Super Eagles to Samson Siasia.

In this country, all our problems have solutions but these will never be implemented unless there is a way it benefits some goat head peppersoup chomping, beer guzzling asswipe in power.

We failed in that game not due to the players but simply due to tactical deficiency from the bench.

Granted most of the players were far from their best, but with the right tactical approach we should've beaten Mozambique even with a sub par performance.

In the end its about tactics & 11 professionals that can execute em (we've got 75% of the later and not the former)

Jose Mourinho & his various teams (Porto, Chelsea & Inter) give sub par performances most of the time but cos of the right tactical guidance from the bench, they grind out tha results.

I am was a big Amodu fan especially when he guided us to 1995 Intercontinental cup in Saudi & also in the early days of his 2nd missionary journey b4 he let the Sunday Oliseh Mafia take over @ Mali 2002.

Since then i've lost all faith in him.

For me the best two indigenous coaches remain Samson Siasia & Austin Eguavoen (who paid for Vogts sins)

Tollu

Common Sense they say is not common.

Cos we all know that of u treat a customer/client nice they r gonna think of u first when next they have need for ur service or product.

Still it is hard for our most ppl to understand this.

However, i guess as our economy improves and the competition for bizness heats up across the various sectors, folks will realize that the difference between profitability& Loss, staying employed & being jobless, growth & decline etc etc, will rest on ur ability to retain and grow ur client base by offering them the lil extras d other folks dont offer.

@Tollu

Have u ever had d hots for ur doctor? even if u know he aint worth it. Something about that white coat, the stethoscope & of cos d sterilized hospital smell just keeps them hormones pumping.

I dont need to tell u that, the Nurse in a skimpy white uniform is arguably the most popular fantasy in erotica.

Florence Nightingale modernized nursing during the Crimean War and it wuz said Soldiers she treated used to jerk off to her shadow or something like that.

So i hope my rambling kinda makes sense as u picture me all suited up with the office AC chilling @ 16 degrees & the environment all cosy and stuff. now tell me which average (plus naive) 9ja chic will not have the heat in her loins doubled up.

@Topic
Anyways peeps today wuz uneventful, highpoint wuz the implementation of cost cutting measures that saw us closing down way earlier than usual (which i love)

Hi Y'all

I aint been around in a while.

Past couple o weeks have been tightly packed as we wait on Gov. 'solution' Soludo & Musa 'Baba go-clueless-slow' Yar'Adua to show us which way is UP.

Plus i invested the two weeks on the chica, only to find out she was suffering from the banking equivalent of Florence Nightingale syndrome.
Anyways lets just say the relationship was (still is, kinda) Mutually beneficial, which means i ain't saying bye-bye to love-vendor city anytime soon.

the cabal has been see-sawing as my mostly Importer customers play roulette with the FX market.


Madam Criztalz i so envy u & ur World tour ryte now.

Tollu, i still drop in a word or two for you when i relate with THE BOSS and i know he'll respond in a big way (just remember me in paradise)

Jarus, Tkb, Crackles & the rest of the Crew i hail.

1luv

The following not thought through

My Role models are

Chief 'Goddax' Anajemba

Emmanuel Nwude

Victor 'Ezego' Okafor aka 'King of money' (first dude to drive a Lincoln navigator in 9ja.

These Niggaz ran things on a kentro level & epitomize what the Organized private sector in naija is all about (not those apologists begging for govt handout)

I'm not a big Obansanjo Fan but i agree with Gettysburg & co that Baba held his own against Mr Steve.
Tho i wonder what he was thinking getting on that show (maybe he thot steve would behave like the typical 9ja journalist and like his arse)


If OBJ had d refined outlook of say a Dimeji Bankole (who has previously handled Steve), The Show would've been a typical round the bush affair cos if steve speak 'fune' , Dimeji go use 'fune' reply am.

Hi Y'all

For the first time, the first working day of the week was good.

I now bliv in the maxim Work Hard, Play Hard, Rest Harder, I worked my butt off on Friday& part of Saturday, Played real hard part of Saturday & all day Sunday (went to church tho & prayed real hard too), then ate & slept most of Monday.

9ja shuld adopt Buddhism as well cos i think the dalai lamas birthday is next Monday.    

As for today, i had a very good outting & made a lotta a money for my Organisation.

High point of the day however was this pretty i met today, She came with a prospect to finalise an account opening & omo boy was smitten from the start. talk about Lust at first sight. (this honey was more than hot she was sizzling)
I let loose the Don Juan on the chica & sure enuf she bought & consumed 2 trailer loads of my special 'tripcin' & placed orders for more.

Long story short, we exchanged digits & hopefully this might just be my ticket outta love-vendor city. a bruv needs to settle down amidst dem trying times (plus playing is kinda expensive these days)

Criz

Congrats on ur passing out.
I'm bliving ur performance & achievements in the last year will do the talking for u.
So lets take the Job as a done deal.
Hope we see more of u as u relate the Job search experiences wif us.

Tollu

For me, the Job search thingy never stops till the day i become da Boss -preferably of my own juicy/challenging hustle-like Jericho (not so sure now) &  Lawyer.
So as u search keep ur eyes open for sweet rackets (no matter how small) out there unless u aint the entrepreneurial type.

TKB

where u @ dude?

Brashy

How wuz the weekend game?
keep up d good work

Jarus

Always knew bean counting was a very tedious & tricky affair
I bliv u know ur onions so more grease.

Besides, we need to hook up off NL cos i got some ideas i wanna run by u.

laterz peeps let me go dream about that angel i met today

peace
