Theft.

Which is the same thing our guy is accusing First Bank of.

Once you create something, it belongs to you. If someone uses it without your permission, it's a simple case of IP theft.

You don't need a contract to keep something that already belongs to you.

If you pioneered something but didn't do any legal fortifications and I come by it, register trademarks and patent it, I am the right owner of what you created BY LAW!

I am the one the law recognizes and Not you.

You get it now? To be on saver side, I would suggest contract drafting.

I am processing a contract and in a few weeks time, we will meeting but I would be stupid not to put things on paper as legal binding contract.

Something weird happened recently.

I have been using namedroppers.com for some years now but I recently started testing a new strategy.

I looked up a domain name and found it dropped last year, which means someone dropped since November last year and no one picked up.

I had to use namedroppers.com and whois to check some background sight.

I didn't register the domain immediately but saved among list of domains I had been compiling.

Yesterday, it crossed my mind and I ran a check and found out its gone.

This is not a recent drop which means people had moved passed and were never gonna check that time line again.

November to March is like 3 months plus. How did that guy pick it up? Is this a coincidence?

But all in all, I suspect fowl play and I must warn you to be careful when using namedroppers.com

TRUSTEDGUY:
Sorry money making is a function of opportunities look at the testimonies of rich and confirm what am saying

lmaoo. Do u own a business?

TRUSTEDGUY:
Sorry l disagree with you poverty s a function of lack of opportunities which most people lack. There are still people with poverty mentality
Which are big boys and vice visa. But you'll never be rich if the opportunity don't come.

We still have professors who are poor illiterate who are millionaires so l do not support your knowledge.

I am still not impress with the behavior of most of our pastors they worship money, give priority to politicians who are part of the problem.Give their families special prayers simply because they are rich

Poverty is not a function of lack of opportunity please. It just a lack of how money is made, the rules and principles of making money.

yeah yeah we care about camera same way guys care about game . Every user has his own reason and opinion for getting a phone

You have got thick skin. I was worried they would bully you into silence. I am glad you hit back at them. Nice.

Unfortunately one of their leaders , a present Senator, one time deputy Gov of Abia state, Abaribe is playing holier than thou at the red chamber.
The hypocrite Abaribe while service as deputy gov yrs ago and presently a Senator never for one day speaks against his PDP governance in Abia state.
The hypocrite Abaribe that didn't see anything wrong when PDP was borrowing money to pay salary when PDP was in power

Leave Abaribe alone. Why not mention others... I orji not part of those that looted them and found his way into APC?

Coldie:
You are a disgrace not us

continue living in denial... after all, aren't you all "DNAnified" to do that? rubbish!

pacespot:
When the current British prime minister Boris Johnson made a report about Nigerian obsession with money, people tagged him racist, then he was a journalist. We are allergic to someone who says the truth as it is. It is a culture of obsession with money that is translating to the begging that we see in those public places, not poverty as some will say. Nigerian obsession with money is known all over the world and is now being used as an adjective to describe others who show similar trait.

Nigerians, most of them, have their selfesteem built on money. Take away money and you see a timid legion of confused species.

franchasng:
how many Nigerian children come from a functional family or marriage to start with


Nigeria's problem again is lack of birth control. People marrying without financial direction or preparation for the kids they intend to birth.

People getting married and giving birth to several kids without financial preparation or backup, but hoping on luck, fate and relatives to help them out!


These are the root cause of Nigeria's predicament

we are saying the same thing. Where does birth control start from? na home na. They fork anyhow and give birth anyhow. When you think of the "go and marry crew" those ones are fan base.

See them talking. NIGERIAN PARENTS FAILED THIS COUNTRY. take it or leave it.

No morally upright and well raise person would indulge in this.

Advise: Don't just raise a child lead your family compound, raise them to lead a nation. We are a disgrace and every problem plaguing us stem from home.. from home. fix the home and nation will be fixed.

Okoroawusa:
Okay no vex but u sha understand what I mean?

yeah, I do. Alex is a business man and he is making his dough doing that. There are another set of people on twitter who call themselves influencers and they fleezing big brands off their money...

Okoroawusa:
What exactly do you people want this guy to do?

Start investigative journalism?

What he is doing is another brand of journalism.

Free the guy abeg

point of correction, this is not investigative journalism (you guys misuse words too much in this country). This is called CONTENT MARKETING or BRAND Marketing in blogging. They are not same, please.

KingSatan:
Alex Stop Lying!

The way you go about your reportage, you further disgrace this Noble profession called Journalism.

Stop chasing brown envelopes around Abuja.

For the records, i know you too well.

It is his business and his kind of business model. Leave him alone as long as those giving him the envelope around Abuja are not complaining, I do not think we should worry much.

Let those who pay him complain if they are not satisfied.

Codedboy95:
Hi guys, I am new to this thread. I have a client I work for who owes me some money, he has a lot of domain names, asked me if I want any of the domain name. One of the domain name is 'Techfinds dot com' , is this a good domain name ? The client owes me a couple of $$, I want to know if I can sell this domain name at good price.

Ask for your money

Agboriotejoye:
You do realize though that flights from China are not banned from entering Nigeria. So nothing is really stopping them from coming back.

That Nigerians are involved should have made the project faster if they were really as involved as they ought to be. Like I told you, if Lagos- Kano can be completed under ten years in the early 20th century, we should be able to achieve it at a faster pace with all the modern technology.

Think about it, if the project is 90% completed as you claim, it means the bulk of the work has been done. So why can't Nigerian engineers who i'm sure also worked on the Abuja-Kaduna rail handle the rest if they are serious about meeting Amaechi's deadline? Why stop work simply because some people went on holiday.

So I hope you understand what I'm saying. The completion of the project has nothing to do with Amaechi, instead it's the Chinese that determine when they finish not Nigeria. When they were building Abuja-Kaduna rail, we did not hear so much noise from GEJ's minister of transport but right now, Abuja-Kaduna has been completed in less time than Lagos- Ibadan albeit Abuja- Kaduna is longer.

As far as railway lines are concerned, bulk of the work has been done based on my assessment. I have checked the Ogun state axis extensively. Where works is still on going is Lagos axis because of the population and buildings obstructing right of way that had to be demolished and so many technicalities, but for Ogun state and Oyo State much of the works have been done and this include erecting pillars/beams for bridges to link where the train would pass. I even have a video of the Abeokuta axis with bridges linking sections as we drove past it.

Last month, new coaches were seen heading towards Ewekoro, probably going to Abeokuta but I am not sure. And coaches wouldn't be delivered if works have not reached advanced stages, would they?

As for the Chinese, I can tell you that even their factories are shut down right now. just a few are about starting operations.

Agboriotejoye:
Like I told someone before, all those posturing by Amaechi is just for political visibility not that he's doing anything peculiar. The Chinese are the ones providing everything for the project including 80% of the finance and so will finish it when they want. All the deadlines by Amaechi na just for the cameras. How many times have the deadlines he gave been missed and what has been the penalty for it.

Truth is, this rail is following the same template of Abuja-Kaduna rail. Do you really think it's impossible for the Chinese to build Lagos-Kano in two years if they really want to? So that's what I'm saying. Nothing spectacular is happening about Lagos-Ibadan rail. The project is ongoing as the Chinese intended. Amaechi is the one coming up with different lies to cover for his many lies about deadline.

Like I asked someone, the colonialists built Lagos-Kano under ten years and majority of the labour used were Nigerians. So why can't the Chinese do the same? It's simply because they have nothing to gain doing it that way not any excuse Amaechi decides to come up with.

Nigerians are involved bro. What Ameachi is talking about is due to this corona virus, most of them may have not returned.

The news of the virus went viral while Chinese were yet to be back from their holiday. All over the world THEY usually go home this period. I am in constant communication with Chinese and I can tell you that factories are not fully operating, just a few here and there.

Agboriotejoye:
What do you see at the stations that makes you say so

the project is 80-90% completed already. I think what is remaining is completion of the railway stations (raillway lines are done already) itself but for some weird reason, they are delaying it. May be issue of money released by government

So you opened a thread to mock a man whose shoelaces you are unworthy to untie?.


What a pity

this is how some of you stupid nigerians stink. A man that a bright 15 year old can defeat in a debate is what you say lace shoe? na shoe go kee u. arindin...

I transferred the SBLC to a biz partner in another country who used it to trade while he applied for discounting and sent the funds to me. But depending on how buoyant you are you can actually set up a bank account abroad.

Thanks a lot.

I would have preferred to have an email that I can use to reach you for future purpose cos sometimes, people disappear. Thanks for the lectures. it means a lot.

priceaction:
how can I set my page to display sub text like description below the domain name?

When you log into your Epik account, select the domain name that you want, select "Build"

In the build section, you have option to do that.

If you want to make the first letter of the domain name capital letter, select the domain name, click on MarketPlace at the top right corner of your screen and select "domain transform and keyword" in the drop down. Type the domain name in the box provided and make the first letter of each word capital letter. save it after done

Discover the secrets how to export Bitter Kola, Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Dried Fish, Pepper, and other Agro allied products to USA,

They said RAILWAY, NOT ROAD. IT is the Chinese that are doing the construction and these outbreak went viral before they could return from the Chinese NEW YEAR.

The Chinese new year is widely celebrated by Chinese all over the world as they usually go back home during that period.

Because of the Chinese handling it are still stuck in China

Officialgarri:
The dude should hire a good lawyer. I don't think there's any law in Nigeria that prohibits sexual content over the Internet.

He has never touched the boy, neither did he make any direct contact with the little boy.

If you don't want people to voice their opinions regarding anything, then never bring it to the social media.
There's nothing like "mind your business" as far as social media is concerned.
The Internet is not a private place.

I see. Knowing that you are a Buhari supporter, I am not surprised...

valenu:
Most times I don't even like commenting on this faceless forum because the majority of Nigerians think they are wise and know it all while they are not. The hate is just much for one another here but while hating can not put money on my table, I would never hate. Hence, you are right in your own opinion.
In my own opinion, I'm not talking about tribe or language. I'm talking about how difficult it is to correct wrongs by to many people. Whether Abaribe is Hausa or Yoruba or igbo, it does not affect my thumbs up for him for not shutting his mouth like every other senator there. He seems to be the only one not afraid of opposing the FG for all these money issues. By the time tax is increased to 10 percent or more, you will understand that this is not about tribe or party.
But having known that the majority of Nigerians prefer hard life, I would prepare my mind for it so when it eventually comes, I won't be surprised. Thank you for quoting and insulting, it won't stop me from getting my daily bread.

Do not argue with people who are paid to be stupid. I am sure he thought he won't be affected.

ordinary electricity bill on my prepaid meter that used to last 3 months now last just 1 month in same house hold where I have not increased my appliances, neither do I use heavy ones in my house.

It's not too much.

In a case whereby goods get to buyer and they still do not pay. How do you avoid such?
- Irrevocable Letters of Credit payable at sight, Bank Guarantee and Blocked Funds.

I've explained how SBLC works, there's another LC called DLC, it's also like a post dated cheque but the bank isn't a guarantor. It's strictly you and the buyer, if the buyer goes bankrupt, na your luck but if the buyer has money in that account, the bank is compelled to pay you.
Bank guarantees are another name or a twin brother to SBLC.
Blocked funds is simply the buyer freezing your money so that even he can't spend it and once you deliver, He's auto debited.

All these financial instruments are supervised by the bank to bank thereby adding more credibility.
Your main issue with them however is that Nigerian banks have very low reputation and many countries have barred them from receiving financial instruments so if you rely on these instruments, your buyers especially from Asia may struggle.

Do you have a specific place where you get buyers for your goods or you just google companies directly and pitch to them?

The internet is your best hope because the buyer's that are offline, hmmmm. You may not be able to meet them even if they spend donkey years in Nigeria due to the calibre of people they row with. Check b2b websites and register on them and begin to post products and services. Even if they don't buy, when your company turns up on different sites saying the same thing, it shows you are kinda serious. Your own website would also be nice and boost your image but it's not compulsory.

Are there any means of meeting this people first before doing the deal or it is just over the internet? If it the latter, how did they trust you enough to want to do business with you for the first time?

If the product isn't something that requires them getting their hands dirty to inspect or test, many buyers will buy and conclude and even pay via the internet but not with cash. That's why letters of credit and the rest are available. You have to be a wealthy crook to dupe them with a financial instrument.

how do you battle this for shipping containers?
Never try to foot these costs on your own, the temptation to make your price the lowest in the internet is always there until you have orders that will put you in 20yrs debt and I'm not kidding. Add 2weeks extra in the shipping timeline and explain to them that normally the product reaches earlier but for documentation and unforseen circumstances, you're adding extra days. Get a quote from shipping companies online and add +/-5-10% to avoid stories that won't touch. And always pay for insurance so you can sleep while the goods are on the sea so you don't turn an astrologer trying to predict the storms
Who will buy will buy.

Oh wow... thanks a lot. So technically, banks serves as the ESCROW in this case.

With reference to poor reputation of our banks in Nigeria and their inability or reluctance to assist your deal, how did you get another bank in a different country to stand in for you?

Did you have any previous relationship with the said country's bank prior to that event or you contacted them out of the blue (but how would they trust you in this case?)? or you used a friend in the said country?
