the explanation we need is the agent side transaction, is there a limit or percentage they are allowed to charge upto will there be special software or equipment needed, will there be a entry criteria for agents will they need a license? Seems in Nigeria, people formulating policies never really give much thoughts to disseminating the information, they probably feel talking about it amongst themselves is enough, or they just have this habit of releasing as few information as possible later they wonder why people are opposed to their 'good ideas' Cant say same for Mr Mutiu in Ajegunle sha exactly, The Mutius will probably feel hard done by when they are not getting any support to key into the system |

Wazoblog: As an Agent, you can see yourself as a Mini Mobile e-Bank.
For each transactions you make for your users (deposit and Withdrawals), you can actually charge them minimum N100, depending on the volume. If you go to the bank to deposit into your mobile money account, they'll charge you N100 too.
Now considering you have up to 20,000 users alone that you are managing per month.
You could possibly be making up to N100,000 monthly.
Let's embrace this initiative!
Hold free workshops and educate people about this program, make sure to register them and present to them their mwallet, you can also make money from this. Currently an end user with etranzact platform costs N700 only, but you may charge N1000. Get 500 Attendees and make your N150,000 profit.
The goal here is to be the early bird in the awareness program currently being introdued by the CBN, and maximize it.
Visit any mobile payment centre or etranzact office close to you or read more about it in my blog. whats the incentive if ou are going t be charging the same price as the banks, It will work well for already established shops that have been agents/distributors of recharge cards with establish customer base or customer traffick i only read a bit abut pagatech offer, very little information out there anyway |

There are strong indications that the country may not meet the 5000 megawatts electricity power generation promised by the end of 2011.
A source at the National Control Centre, Osogbo, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Friday that power generation had even dropped further from 4,089.4 to 3, 881 megawatts.
The Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji, had in August said government was exploring various short-term measures to get power generation to 5000 megawatts by December.
A source at the NCC however told NAN that the power generation, which stood at 4,089.4 on Thursday evening, had dropped to 3,881 megawatts by Friday morning. http://www.punchng.com/news/5000-megawatts-power-generation-not-realistic/ |

Vicjustice: Everyone knows that Boyfriend and Girlfriend relationship issue is supposed to be a home and family affair, so, booking a hotel is something odd and suspicious, booking a hotel would be ok if you're merely inviting a sex partner. I dont really agree with this, a girlfriend is just a girlfriend, the only reason why people are going overbaord is because f teh location, if applicants are other nationalities i dont think they will go to that extent of proving a relationship (girlfriend) with pictures and length of relation etc etc If the tenant is sharing a two bed room flat with his friend or relative, i think that should be sufficient. anyway i have no experience oo so i'll leave it t teh experts |

kunaba123: @ olu girl and @ everyone, i will like to apply for a usa visa, but need your opinion on this. i got a usa visa last year in the uk, i was then a student and it was for a conference so it was just for 6month, i didn even spend up to 10 days and i came back to the uk. now i'm on a post sudy work visa, i went back to nigeria for holidays 2months ago and decided to apply for a usa tourist visa at d usa embassy in nigeria, but the officer was a very stubborn one, he had issues with the fact that i came home to apply and why my father was the sponsor, although i have a job in uk and can really afford to sponsor the trip but thought since i was applying from home and my father had enough asset that i should use him as my sponsor inshort i felt that should be my strong ties, but it all messed me up, cos dis officer said why should my father sponsor me?how much do i earn from my job in uk i told him? to cut the long story short my mistake was, i should never have gone to nigeria to apply, at d end of d day he refused the visa and told me to go back to uk to apply tha my strong ties is in uk.he didnt look at a single document, even hough i took all my document from uk, dis is just like 2months ago, the point now is why is my home country not my strong ties, why should it be uk, well now am married and will like to apply after some months here(uk), i have a job although not a professional job but make alot of monney from it, so what do you think er the document to take when next i apply, i really want to ge it right this time, and is uk the best place to apply again since the officer said i should apply here, my post study work visa is still valid for about 18monhs, and my husband lives in nigeria, pls i need your opinions You dont trust the advice of the consular officer? you are residing/working in the Uk, and you want to visit the US |

Kay1kay1: Interesting. . . just the same way many Nigerians don't know don't have their constitutional rights. In your words, the army has no good reason maintaining law and order in the country ( if the army, for example, sees a bomb threat it should look the other way). Thankfully, the military is not trained like that.
The next thing we'd be hearing is that the[b] Ministry of Interior itself has relocated to the Villa[/b].  You know they are also into interior designs  |
Politics › Re: Where Is The Defence Minister? by DisGuy: 10:59am On Dec 29, 2011 |
Danka7777: Whoever posted this, and all those responding in support have no clue what the function of Ministry of Defense is or what the Nigerian Constitution says on this. Did you all not take Government class in high school/secondary school? Didn't they teach you the functions of the various ministries of government? What is Dr. Bello Mohammed business with Internal Security Matters. His function is primarily national defense against foreign threats/attacks. You ought to be talking to the Minister of Interior or Internal Affairs Comrade Abba Moro. Primary function: Internal Security(threats and attacks) and Policing. From my understanding, he had since relocated to the Villa since the bombings. Because thats where the fighting is abi, thank god i didnt attend government class in high school!! |

Career › Re: Which Profession Do You Think Has Been Failing In Its Role In Nigeria? by DisGuy: 12:29pm On Dec 28, 2011 |
AjanleKoko: More compact, hardly likely. The machines are meant to crush large volumes of pepper. There are smaller home grinders with smaller motors available, for home use. The ones in the market are meant to pulp-ify large volumes of pepper, crush sacks of elubo, maize, wheat, and so on.
Less ugly? well, I don't know which machine is a work of beauty, when you strip away the nice packaging/housing. Which by the way carries an additional cost, which isn't practical for Africa.
Smaller and equally effective is a pipe dream. Maybe in the new world when we have loss-less machines and superconductors. The machines you speak up are still governed by the same rules of physics: torque, torsion, speed, etc. Bigger core and more windings = physically bigger machine, as well as more powerful machine, in terms of kilowatts or horsepower. And such machines will typically consume more electrical power in order to generate a larger output in terms of mechanical power.
A good analogy is vehicles. While you have a lot of components that have been shrunk in the automobile engine, the engine block essentially remains the same. A 2.4l and a 3.8l engine can never be the same size.
I do see your point though. However, the machines were not even designed by engineers in the first place. More like technicians and artisans. Maybe engineers should look at introducing some modern technology (feedback control systems, more electronics in the control as opposed to the mechanical valve that's used to control the grinding speed. But will the target market pay for the enhancements? We are still talking Africa oh. perhaps the main reason why most people are pointing the fingers at engineers If someone could design it, patent the design to be the sole manufacturer they'll recoup their investment in the long run, so many NGOs/politicians buy grinding machines all over Africa, the target market will see the benefit and cross over naturally Hurray! i didnt get the usual thread killer: wetin u don design u wey dey talk |
