Ellasure: Everyone needs to think clearly about the remittances and its relation to the States in Nigeria.
The captured transactions and the uncaptured will still be reflecting these same States with positions changing.
This is a good report for the Nigerian nation to ponder and work with. The federal government under Buhari has used this statistics to distribute free money raw cash in the northern Nigeria while doing nothing of such in the southern Nigeria. The finance minister said in a reply to a journalist some,months ago, that the people in the south has people sending them money from abroad while them in the northern part has nobody. Yet your brother that are federal ministers can not do anything about the finance minister action.
Meanwhile, here are people fighting what is not. People should not loose focus on happenings and happenstance.
I disagree with you; I can tell you that 95% of Nigerians in the UK do not use Banks to transfer money to their Nigerian bank account. we just pay the Agents here and they remit monies into your Nigerian bank account with their Nigerian bank account. This wont be captured, its a black market thing.
semmyk: One of the reasons we encourage folks to always provide enough factual information. Of course, keeping away sensitive info, unneeded narrative. Fortunately, Justwise was able to decode and provide great inputs.
kettykin: Even with the useless seat at home out Disco still performs and ranks with eko and Ikeja Disco.
I Know Ikeja and eko Disco and they're about the richest and most viable with some companies paying as much as 10m every month.
If Enugu disco ranks with these , that means renewables and other power investments , including fuel stations will enjoy every inch of investment in the red mid potopoto region, let no one deceive you , they secretly know why they don't want Bịafra to go.
I guess these ones was not sold by a committee chaired by Mr Obi as claimed by the guys upstairs. I sometimes wonder how some people reason; I hope he sees your post.
Eniitankorede: Please reason intelligently. They were sold by committee in which Obi was a member. They were sold to cronies who had no means to develop the system. The crooks set their eyes on profiteering from estimated billings to make gold out of the mess. What’s hard to reason logically on that?
Eniitankorede: They were not stupid. They thought they were going to make a profit from extorting the people through estimated billing. But the new government fought against it. That’s why they are counting their loses.
I just realized Im talking to a person who has nothing new to impute, you keep shifting from ur arguments to mine back and fort, how can you in one vein say it was sold cheap and in same one say the cronies. Friends and family were stupid then top it with the new government who are meant to be 8 years old fought against the said Owners, pLz say what you mean and stand by it, The civil servants who facilitated the sales are not to blame rather the buyers. So you tell me what has this got to do with any Administration?
Eniitankorede: Obi and other committee members knew that the investors lacked capacity and funding. Yet they gave them the contracts. This was a disaster waiting to happen. Did they get bribed? Your guess is as good as mine.
Another demsay, wise investors knew that no matter how low the cost of Buying the newly privatized structure was ,they will run at a loss, so here comes the no experience people who thought it was a walk in the park, what happened to them now? they lost billions and the banks took over their assets. Its these same assets the FG is asking the banks to resell/relist in the public xchange.Would you put your one kobo into it if asked?
BreconHills: Dangote gives money to all parties during elections.
Cronies are people appointed and given licenses for the aim of benefit. GEJ overlooked Siemens to give disco licenses to friends and family. Those people give regular kickbacks.
Has Nigeria not gone back to the same Siemens now?
So in ur own understanding of all I wrote Dangote to you is not one of the said cronies?
isaacola57: no.. be lost on the streets of provinces like Saskatchewan in winter (it's easy let Ur phone battery die and av no access to Google map and 911)which gets to -40 degrees or more in winter without your mitts u will have frost bites. They will amputate your wrist and fingers.
I know , what I'm trying to say is people who live in them areas are always ready. Just like in West at least everyone has winter jacket.
nnamdi640: How will you feel when you see some one you are harbouring under your own roof go on social media to tell the world that he prefer or appreciate his previous place he was staying than yours.
Eniitankorede: The discos were fraudulent contracts awarded by Peter Obi to incapable investors. That’s why he will never win this election.
YNo disrespect you still do not have any idea of what it means to privatize an FG asset like This, The Biz model of formal NEPA was split into two GENCOs and DISCOS, Brilliant idea. The only thing wrong with this is the Mode of operation, as it is with this present mode of operation even if it was sold at One Naira, you will still make a loss, The Only way this would work is to make sure that if they do not supply power, they do not get a kobo.What that means is this even if the GENCO was bought for N100 only, the will have to invest Millions to upgrade the infrastructure in order to make profit of some sort. The way forward is to mandate the owners of GENCOs to install Prepaid meters in all household B4 they can bill anyone. Take the Telcoms as case sturdy.
Eniitankorede: Atiku that wants to sell NNPC to his friends at cheap prices? Atiku that wants to sell refineries at cheap prices again? The ones he sold was a waste of resources and of no benefit to anyone. God forbid.
NNPC should be sold and a clause of quantity of product to be delivered daily plus committed investment. Why do you think the 6 Discos was taken over by the banks?People already lost monies in them Discos as they where not making money and could not fulfil their finical obligations t the banks.
emorse: Ah! Finally someone understands what I've been trying to explain to one man here who insists that tariffs must be increased before any improvements can be noticed. Whenever I try to make him understand that we're being tremendously over-billed and ripped off with estimated billing, he quotes one PWC document to back up his claims. Whether PWC dey follow me pay for light wey I no use. Abi whether there is 100% guarantee say the figures wey DISCOs give PWC dey accurate.
How do you run a business without investing in it? How do you make losses for five straight years yet refuse to step aside? How do you justify that you mean well yet frustrate every effort made to meter your customers?
Like you rightly pointed out, the government's move is not very good for our business image but I think it is necessary. The UK government did far worse to Russian businesses and heaven did not fall.
if they resell it we al are still going to be in same boat. What the Fg needs to do is make sure the Discos owners are not truly making any profit, let us see if they wont re invest their monies like the telcoms.The way 4ward is to make Pre-paid meters mandatory for any charge or bills to be collected.
FreedomArmy: guy I beg to differ. That 17.5million is enough to start a standard business in Nigeria. That money can start building material business and you will be ok and the business will start growing.that money will can be invested in treasury bill at 13.5 percent and the nigga can be smiling to the bank with over 2million naira profit for the next 12months. I personally will like to travel but if I have 17million naira cash,I will take the risk and remain in Nigeria.
The problem with the average Nigerian thins once they have money they can start a business, No, not everyone is cut out to be a business person, One should be able to recognise Thiers kills,
isaacola57: dust is better.. exposure to harsh cold like in Canada frost bite can lead to amputation if u don't cover up well. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
well people area raeady for wen it gets cold, frost bite is xtreem, U have o be lost in the mountains for that to happen not in the towns nd city
isaacola57: Abroad that if u mistakenly enter somewhere the owner can shoot u for trespassing and nothing will happen. Look nothing fascinates me anymore, Nigeria, abroad, etc just have good health and be with people you love and who loves you truly
I think you need to educate urself more, this is the UK we are talking about
DrBrainstorm: I have always wondered how people were able to survive in areas with cold climate hundreds of years ago, before even the crudest technologies that could weave clothes existed. I know about using the skins of animals like bears for covering but how many of these animals could they catch?
Oberhiri141: Ever since i packed into my new house, my landlady and her daughter have been disturbing my life one way or the other.
One day, I gave my landlady 10kg of mama gold rice which was given to me at my place of work and then the following morning she called me and asked me to lend her 10k.
I think she has taken my kindness for weakness and as for her daughter, her own inordinate request for money is unbearable. If it's not meatpie today then it's recharge card or even hair cream.
Please, Elders in the house, how can I cope with this burden?
I think if you are single and free begin nack the daughter, so it becomes family biz
Celebrity singer and dancer, KORRA OBIDI just got into the country and was met by her sister at the international airport and her father who couldn't hold back his tears.
The celebrity dancer who recently got divorced from her husband ( Dr. Justin) and later won the custody of her children amidst public reactions and criticisms was ripped of all the money she came with at the airport as can be seen in the video with her bag ripped apart.
