I don't think you have done international business before. If you have relatives abroad and the send you dollars or whichever currency, they will receive the naira equivalent here in Nigeria.

When you send money from Nigeria to UK, the person receives the money in pounds, not in naira or dollars. You don't need a domiciliary account account for transfers, you can and will receive in the countries currency. simple. Domiciliary accounts are for receiving and will be converted to receiving countries currency like western union

Wrong.U can receive dollars in the UK.I recieven miney from China via WE I asked to be paid in Dollars as it was a small amount .When I send money to China it get received as dollars.and all whole sale trade are done in Dollars.

walexy30:
The CBN would always be there to supply dollar before it dries up.

Ehe from where??

arsenal1:
The official rate is N197 per dollar. And who told you is bad market to BDCs? It is better for you not to comment if you don't know the operation of BDCs.

We do not print dollars so eventually it will dry up again once the few in circulation gets used up, anyway, its wait and see time.

menxer:
tell me how someone will go through these processes and go import fake or substandard goods?

this has little or nothing to do with imports rather it deals with foriegn currency in this case Dollar,there is nothing stopping me from going abroad with dollar acquired from any source to import goods. these are put in place if you want to buy dollar from so not the black mkt.I think that's what is going on here, don't you think so??

Part of the aircraft wing found on Reunion Island is from the missing MH370 plane, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has confirmed.
Mr Najib said international experts examining the debris in France had "conclusively confirmed" it was from the aircraft.
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
The debris was found on the remote French Indian Ocean island a week ago.
The plane is believed to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean - though no evidence had been found despite a massive search operation.
"It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris [...] is indeed MH370," Mr Najib told reporters.
"We now have physical evidence that [...] flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean," he added.
Mr Najib said he hoped the discovery "will at least bring certainty to the families" of the victims, saying the burden they had faced was "unspeakable".
'Very strong indications'
French prosecutor Serge Mackowiak later confirmed the wing fragment, known as a flaperon, was from a Boeing 777 - the same make and model as the missing Malaysian airliner.
He said initial tests showed there were "very strong indications" that it was from flight MH370. But he said confirmation would only come after further tests on the fragment, which would begin on Thursday.
"[Investigators] will try to do it as soon as possible in order to provide total and reliable information to the family of victims, who are on our minds at the moment," Mr Mackowiak added.

Simple answer is no. If you go through the Form M process and your transaction is approved, then it's possible.

Form M is an application to import visible goods and also serve as a statistical tool for the government in policy formulation. It is mandatory for all importers to complete and register Form ‘M’ with Authorized Dealers at the time of placing orders whether the transaction is valid for foreign exchange or not. This is currently initiated electronically on Trade Portal provided by the Central Bank of Nigeria in conjunction with the Nigeria Customs Service. Supporting documents for submission of Form M includes PFI (proforma invoice), Insurance Certificate covering 110% of the item of import. Depending on the item of import, other regulatory documents such as NAFDAC permit, SONCAP product certificate, DPR Import Permit, PCN licence, etc.; will also be required

Agip estate via chida.

Ok wen these guys finish,I shall pass you the details,they are at Obiakpor near the fly over on the east west rd working for at least 3 weeks for me.

Fellonigerians:
I dont understand what you mean...

As in selling the power station outright and also the suppliers of gas should be made private. That way the power plants would t be short of gaS

sako28:
Thanks, u will not believe that to arrange and stack the block alone I spent close to 40k. Was not happy abt it. So I made up my mind not to use that arrangement again. The bargain u have is just perfect.

yep, what part of PH is ur site at?

aresa:
Can't read and comprehend illiterate, inaugurated is quiet different from initiating a project, awarding contract, building and commissioning.

Contract was awarded by OBJ and the project was completed in 2013, but GEJ and his gang delayed commissioning till March 2015 for political reasons just to secure ibo votes. The clowns deliberately kept Nigerians in darkness just because of votes and elections..


And these are the same crooks, clowns and unpatriotic elements you funny jokers are supporting and were trying to keep in office?

What a bunch of clowns. I'm so glad Nigerians booted them out of office..


All the power plants GEJ commissioned were conceived and contracts for the power plants were awarded by OBJ.

please tell us the difrence

Fellonigerians:
I know, but the FG selling its shares, and then listing them in the stock market is easier than you think...

I still think power generation should be sold to the public.they will be forced to buy gas from any source.

Sagamite:
You are too dumb to even read what was written.

All you wanted to vomit and was focused on was the "sense" you produced from your arsse.

Another case of head big no brain who cant put their points across without insult

gabbytabby:
I am looking at version on Aug 2nd so dinning, store back to toilet and veranda. The main issue is making sure you have enough space for your appliances and cupboards. Do you really need one to the toilet area?

I can see why the toilet is where it is just that your visitors will have a long walk from the bathroom when they shower.

hmmm , well you got a point there, my reservations where, if Madam &co is cooking in the kitchen and feels a burst, they can just go fru that door and do number 1 instead of climbing upstairs to the loo.as for if there is enough space ie gangway ,the kitchen is quite spacious, the entire leghnt is 4.8m and the width is 3.4m, the work top and cupboard plus fridge and freezer wont poke out more than 0.64 aprox 2ft,I checked standard kitchen sink is 0.60m that takes away 1.2m of gangway. we get 2.2m aproxx 6' 7" for space I think that's big enough,as for where things are going to be,I live that to you know who,kitchen manager she is in charge of that design.

sako28:
Bro thanks for this tread. I will like to use ur molder pls. I made my blocks too in PHC around March this year paid 700/bag and had to look for another person to stack which wasn't easy to find and was more expensive at the end. With 900/bag including stacking I will be glad to use them for my project.

Thanks

Not a problem. I learnt to do both from my past project, its quicker and cost effective, that's if you are molding.

gabbytabby:
Probably too late now but everything else seems to work except the lower floor of the duplex. 4 doors into the kitchen means difficulty with positioning of appliances and cupboards. Also the location of the toilet/bathroom does not sit well somehow.

Nah bro, the kitchen has just two main doors and one store door, one from the dinning room, the other to go out to the back of the building and the third leads to the store room.As for the toilet in the ground floor, I try to use it as visitors loo as well, don't want no one going upstairs and if I make the ground room en-suit, it means I have to still build another toilet for visitors and end up with plumbing in front of the house something I'm keen to avoid.So given these new impute do you still think I needed more adjustments?

mufutau55:
I don't blame you. I have always like those parapets but always scared of them too... Yes, because of their weight.

Hajji M.

yep it's always good to go lighter upstairs.btw that plan I drew got approved.I got a close friend of mine frm uni days to do all the elect n structural drawings..I promise to buy him beer wen I get to 9ja

mufutau55:
No. The precast are moulded in 4ft-6ft and joined at the top, so it's not very easy to lift.

Hajji M.

sounds better.I'm going to employ this method. I don't buy I to this extra load by the roof base from Concrete

manyus:
Religious Bigots una don come again. What is wrong with introducing Islamic Book to Federal School's Islamic Religious Knowledge(IRK) students only. Why are you intolerance of other religious beliefs.

there is no problem there However if it's made compulsory then Yeh problem.

stan241:
I did jss1 in 2001at FGC Lagos and Arabic was a compulsory subject and so was Hausa, igbo and yoruba language for everybody......I remember Arabic was actually quite fun and simple for me sef as an igbo boy compared to other compulsory languages we did such as french and hausa

if you check studying Arabic last gauge is not a problem but the sturdy of Islam mad compulsory might be a problem.

tpiander:
the federal schools started JSS a year before non-federal schools.

the poster was the pioneer set, if that's really her story and not someone else's.

do you know what you are talking about?J'S and SS cam into terms wen we changed educational system from 654 to 6334.this was when I was in class 1@1987.we then had to write JSS exams we where the pioneers.1994 he had class one to five

atlwireles:
That's how you catch the liars on NL.

Me sef tire Ohhh

INTROVERT:
2baba

u wan get bele?

ohzee:
Yes I am not surprised one bit. Flashback to 1983/84 academic session. I was in JS1 in a Federal School in Benin and I studied Islamic Religious Studies and Arabic as compulsory subjects. Guess who was in power then? It's déjà vu.
Those of us who experienced that era knew what we were saying when we talked about Islamization.
If we protest now, they will say after all CRK is also being studied in schools. Ok oh....
No further comments

hmm 1984 did we have JS1 then?

SAMATC:
The President is trying to ensure moral teaching in our schools.

Morality is never thought in public schools, that's done in private schools, more so morality is thought at homes

Orikinla:
[size=18pt]When you see the horrible state of Nigerian military and police barracks, you will not respect the Nigerian government.
Now you will understand why the military and police officers are always easily irritated, because of the indignities they suffer daily in the horrible living conditions of their dilapidated barracks with the worst bathrooms and toilets I have ever seen in military and police barracks in the world.[/size]

Name one country in the developed world that has a police Barack plz.Im waiting

These are projects conceived with contracts awarded by obj you village ignorant dullard.

Again, my question was, show us the power stations conceived by GEJ, with contact awarded by GEJ, finished and commissioned by GEJ.

You need to confine your ignorance and stupidity to your kind....

Since you claimed they where not inaugurated by GEJ why dont you show us link to who inaugurated them
FYI Alaoji power plant was inaugurated by GEJ

Fellonigerians:
Benefits of privatization manifesting as private sector are more efficient than govt... No strikes to interfer with gas supply...

More needs to be done by the govt regarding gas supply (reform and liberalize the sector), and transmission (more investment, separate transmission from systems operations and market operations, free them from the control of the minister, and list them on the stock market)...

Good idea but me and you know that might never happen as the powers who controls them are bigger than the govt of the day unofficially.

Omotakins:
This is about antecedents and fear of the personality of Buhari. You can say Jonathan put all these in motion, but i tell u, if he got re-elected, it would still not work. He was weak administratively and this weakness was used to his disadvantage by those around him. Saboteurs pervaded everywhere. Let that be tried with Buhari! The fear of him made them do the right thing. That's d point!

The feqr of PMB? ahah dont make me laugh, why did the fear of PMB not make the likes of Tinibu disappear? ??

dynamitee:
Your facts are not straight. The refineries are actually working. As for the stuff about electricity, I don't think I started hearing GEJ''s promises just last year, I've been hearing it for 6 years. But help me understand your point, what is the promise that is not working yet that u are talking about? I'm actually confused.

But I refuse to accept that a man who had 6 years to make good on his major campaign promise and could not prove himself in time to get reelected was deserving of another tenure as president.

Plz tell me, which of the refinery now working??when is PMG going to fulfill his promise to Nigerians ie N5k to unemployed youths/? stabilize global oil market, and $1 to N1? if we start talking about election promises.do you know how many power stations we now have built and are now working?

glogirl:
So y are the architects on nairaland quoting 400 -600k for semi detached duplexes?are people really paying that much?

U will be suprised,however there are diff levels of drawings.

msogunro:
Great question. I was given a quote of #200K. However, it will be free if I use them for the construction of my single story home.

I would like to know if the quote given to me was fair.

Depends on the state you are based and level of drawings needed for the approval,
