MAMAJAMA:
Impressive. what could the consequences be if we refused to pay this debt? they can have sanctions on us but at
least our country will be fully developed. The presidency should have embark on investigation to find out who took the loans and what purpose was the loan for. and was it utilized to the full ability?

what would be the consequences if you fail to pay back a loan you get from a bank. you know the bailiffs would be at your door one early morning

Saying we shouldnt pay back the loan says a lot about our country people; when people lend you money in good faith you want to run away with the money?
later we probably complain the nigerian banks are not loaning people money to start business, why should they when we dont mind runing away with it?

I think the yorubas and northerns are responsible for this, they dont want niger deltans to progress <Sir Kazeem>

I knew it! 

If this happened in calabar atleast we'll know what they used it for

spoilt:
she could have earned that money legitimately. afterall she was a nurse in texas. nurses in the u.s get paid bastardly. so its probably not laundered money. she was trying to avoid paying taxes or something.
i just think that failing to declare it doesnt mean they can take her life savings. if it was a white woman who didnt declare it, they would never confisticate the money. its because she's an imigrant. they are always biased!

You really think so? so you'd probably do the same. na wa o
I dont think you pay tax for a transaction in another country

i use to practise as a journalist and most of our African stories were soured from foreign media

60% of people who access the BBC Africa website from their mobile phones do so from Nigeria.

so they look up to the bbc for news about their country hmm

this is even more evident when u read our own papers
we don't have anything good thing to say about other African countries because a bulk of our stories come from the west.

of course i expect our bad side to be far greater since they is really not much to celebrate here

Ahhhh Bless

when people are talking in Nigeria they don't make reference to local newspapers. you hear them mentioning BBC and CNN you cant go to Nigeria website to get updated news. sometimes you even see News culled directly from BBC.

the fact that 90% of Nigerian newspapers are owned by politicians and praise singing quacks doesn't help either!

Throw your T.V away mate, leave her! tell them producers to stop showing her and remember most of her songs/videos are played ON REQUEST by the viewers!

not when there are big pot holes and dead bodies on the streets

spoilt:
why don't they just put her in jail for failing to declare the money. when she gets out of the pen they can return her money to her abi? everyone will be happy!

there must be a reason for not declaring the money

thats a good one @ Zexyworm. didnt know much about him apart from his noise making antics.

Can Dora head the EFCC ?

mukinatu, yes o i can handle more

it shows proper commitment and effort!
or ask them to send it to you

you can also use athens or blackwells if you have access to them

Watching a documentary on nta the Immigration comptroller said " Our passport commands alot of respect in international communities"

but can you really compare the people Ribadu have to face directly and the impact on Nigeria with Business people with less political influence?

Nigeria needs more people like them!

i no go take summer class, just a one-hour test in august

I go need all the practicals before then

walel:
I am amused at the kind of responses to this story apparently a lof of you can't be bothered to read carefully enough simple the woman made from a real estate transaction in Nigeria obvioulsy there are tons of houses that can be sold for that amount of money the biggest tragedy for her at this point is that she most likely will be deported after this, true its not by force to become a US citizen but its safer just in case if she was a US citizen there would not be any possiblitly of deportation for this one offence but because she isnt a one she will/might be deportated after serving her 3years probabtion except the law changes before then

if she's business savvy enough to make huge amounts from real estate, she should be slick enough to transfer funds via a bank. Or just declare it. even criminals dont carry huge amounts of cash when travelling. this will probably get into America's Dumbest Criminal series

@ topic, both ladies have done very well and shld be commended for their efforts.

are you still talking about ribadu n dora?

If dora akunyili had been in charge of the EFCC should would have been accused of the same thing Ribadu is being accused of

Oby didnt do much, probably had little time to implement things. no short term gain mostly long term plans and alot of paperwork

We are now getting better people in. little by little we shall get there

_{I dey write pidgin for monday exam i swear my mind no dey there at all as per sa my revision na online
na so so pidgin dey my head, i don prepare for the summer retake anyway}

But today we don finish exam na so so stella beer dey flow  
make the class begin

walahi my new teacher be a BIG flirt o!!!

walai BIG is my middle name  

for some reason it quite hard to reply to this

First the judgement is too harsh!

_{on the other hand, in 2007 why do nigerians people (never heard any other country carry cash).
there are banks in nigeria, there are banks in usa,
why cant she do the 'normal thing' and follow the rules.
its obviously safer to transfer funds via banks than carry them physically}

_{that elephant is a bit malnourished, with some 100bn it will be a jumbo soon}  

Apart from switching account officer and complaining about a particular officer, I think it will help if we
Write to the management about the overall customer service in their company, so they can do something
instead of just assigning another officer who will later on probably be the same later on.

or we can have Shareholders Association of Nairaland we all send them several letters concerning their services  

You could do it as work experience, just try make some targets then put it in your CV that you worked with Rolex and made XX millions in the two months. Make sure you bail after the two months except they have a better contract for you.

Naija hard o!

but this is how it was meant
no problem, was it not you who left like your pants were on fire? i am not stressing over this nonsense!!!

No wahala! No bi you ja like say fire catch ur trouser!! I no fit carry jagbajantis for head o!!

_{9ja4eva, good thing you missed your part, you for kill me when you see your role}

babalawo maybe its because you are not in lagos

Over the years I have had expereince with credit card. I bought my first credit card in 1999

For a credit card to work, it's owner address must match the ISP, the bank details, etc

what if your surfing from your school/work/holiday

It seems every sector is taking the so called 'High Net Worth Individual' thing to heart o Maybe they treat man pikin better with N50million 
or we have to starting 'dropping something' to ease the process 

One alternative might be to leave your stock with present broker, until you intend to dispose of them, whilst opening a new account elsewhere, which I considered doing myself.

omoba3, you mean cashcraft too are acting some how?

I am in the sending them my details, i don't know if i should tranfer the others to them. The lady(egoldman recommended) I spoke with, was alright explaining the whole signing up process to me, she even 'went to the cafe' to chat when their computer went down (she was on break) a sign of things or just the signing on phase 

You teach me pidgin I teach you how to please an experienced woman!!!

_{yes please}

AmerOmoge:
translate this:

No wahala oh! Abi you ja like fire catch u trousa!! no carry this jagbajantis for you head o!

hmm no problemo!! or do you want your pants on fire!!(literally translation it might have other meaning),
dont worry too much about this nonsense/ dont stress you self with this problem/trouble

hmm who advising you? this problem is good for you
