DivaC: I used Wakanow recently, on my trip to London and I was blown away by their excellent customer service. Not only did they help me get my visa in record time they also called me to remind me about my flight prior takeoff. Their customer service is also one of the best I've come across in Nigeria, the way they empathised with me when I couldn't get good transit time was just exceptional. I also heard they have fast response times on their social media pages even though I haven't had cause to refer to that yet.

justwise: I'm not surprised that it ended like that though, followed that thread then and did not have a good feeling about an individual involved in the planning.

slimming: wonderful motivation for the youth there

berem: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is to visit Akwa Ibom in next month, the Niger Delta Young Professionals, a non governmental group, has said.

Facebook is a social networking service launched in February, 2004, with over one billion active users.

The Chairman of the Niger Delta Young Professional, Mr Moses Siasia, made the announcement when he paid a courtesy visit on Gov. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom on Friday.

Siasia said that Zuckerberg had been invited as one of the guest speakers during his groups youth economic summit, scheduled to hold in Uyo from May 28 to May 29.

The chairman said that young professionals from the Niger Delta were coming together to promote entrepreneurship, looking at economic challenges in the area.

Siasia commended Akpabio for transforming the state through infrastructure such as good roads, healthcare and education.

Responding, Akpabio told the group to put in their best in their chosen professions, adding that success could only come with hard work.

The governor pledged his support towards the hosting of the summit, commending the youths for not engaging in militancy.

justwise: I doubt it kicked off, judging by the last complain in that thread it seems that someone was duped.

My advice to people getting involved in this one is.... don't hand your money to the op, he has been exposed here before as somebody with a questionable character, he is basically one of those dodgy visa agents

timecop28: Later, y'all will start crying that the society is corrupt and the Govt isn't fighting corruption, well except u tell me this Isn't corruption in any sense. I believe one of the ways to transform a thief is to embarrass him. u do otherwise, I bet u hez definitely going down that road again.
Sanusi should even publish the names of the banks involved sef.

ikeyman00: @@@

this guy


yes bro

u are always quick to defend anything from the north but each time i read bad news from Benue? u hardly comment

anyway when will oga Sanusi tell the banks to compensate customers

abi na talking is enough?

this is uncompleted job oo

BarryX: 6billion is definitely underestimated, Personally i lost quite a sum due to mistaken account number of which i am still 'digging' it out with the bank since last year and with way things are going i might yield coupled with hidden maintenance charges, nobody has really given me the full details of what the f*kin ATM card maintenance fee is all about. If i am allowed to give their cheating figure, i would say all their profits for last year.

Boss13: Sanusi, you seem to forget all too soon that you were part of the banking system and also your top priority job is to boost confidence in the banking system.
Your utterances sometimes, sanusi, makes me question your ability to lead. Fyi your recent and previous acts are scaring customers and potential investors away from the Nigerian banking industry. Customers are transferring their monies offshore. Honestly, I do not say there are no irregularities in the system - they are. However, don't be too quick to rush to the media. You are reporting yourself this man.
It is only in Nigeria that banks post huge profits and no significant improvement in the economy. That alone is a huge indicator that something fishy is going on and that is the no 1 headache you need to cure.
Sanusi, please learn from history. "You talk too much".

tunesoft: The more u look d less u see , so u guys never know...well now u will know...REMI TINUBU is to be the next lagos state governor...I had calculated with tinubu...when remi was asked to go to d house in mamora's place..just to get training..as well as make her political CV solid...REMI it is

lyricalpreacher: I was actually expecting to read local contents. Most of the people you listed are in advanced countries where the challenges are different(though not necessarily easier). The topic was catchy but no real depth. Their stories are motivating no doubt but I believe a lot more people wld be able to relate to stories about successful nigerians on what they were doing at 25.

fiscalcliff: Morning thread contributors who spit insight by their replies,
1]What is the maximum amount per transaction from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 20-40k depending on the bank]?
What is the total daily transaction I can take from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 150k]?


2]Also how long can a return ticket stay valid for?
Most airline/travel agents websites grey off their calendars after about 6 months and I should be in the UK for about 16 months
Is it worth it, buying a return ticket or should I just settle for one way straight up?

Thanks for the replies

Afam4eva: I hate the new search engine [size=14pt]with a passion[/size]. It doesn't even order the search in ascending order. Seun, please revert to the old one.

spikes C: You're tackling this problem from a wrong angle. Why do FG still ask us to pay for insurance but they do not pay claims. Why are we forced to pay insurance at all without a benefits being gauranteed. The average driver doesn't even know what the insurance means.

Now ask yourself, if papa nkechi the danfo driver doesnt get any benefit with the 300 naira insurance, why would he get the 5000 naira own.

So pls, educate the people instead of blaming them

hardbody: I am very careful not to hit you, but if i am in the wrong, i sign off papers for you and give you my insurance particulars, you sort it out with them, they will fix you up and fix me too, because i carry comprehensive insurance on all my cars.

Benaig: WHO told you? which type of policy was involved and which insurance company?

Fhemmmy: Are you serious?
I am told that the insurance coy are not paying up . . . .

kokoye: pennywise pound foolish or better still...kobowise; naira foolish

If you have been in a crash, noone will beg you before you get a real insurance

Benaig: It beats my imagination why most car owners prefer the ordinary piece of paper that does not provide any cover (obtained from licencing offices) to the genuine third party insurance that costs N5000 only and protects them for up to N1million in third party liabilities (from registered insurance companies)

Often they argue that insurance companies do not pay claims, whereas they have not experience such on their own.

The are also oblivious of the several avenues for complaints set up by insurance industry bodies like NAICOM and NIA to address complaints against insurance companies.
