Give both candidates a project related to their industry and get them to write a project plan. This plan should be a current problem and they should come up with a workable solution. This is one way companies in UK select between high profile canadidates. Look at their people skill, and the personality that would fit in with that of the company.

@Aktopgun

A big congratulations to you and your wife. May this child always be a blessing and source of joy to your family and the world - amen

@NBA

You may want to forget Afrinvest as they have a habbit of not responding to emails. I contacted their London branch just before UBA bought it. An email was sent by Jon in the London office to the head of securities Afrinvest WA its about a month now still no response. Easimoni uses them maybe he can give you a tip on how to reach them as for me wont be going there.

@NBA

Yes I must agree the feedback on the UBA account is very good. I have got the forms and should be sending them off in a few days. UBA seems a complete package especially with the stockbroking service. Its an obvious one stop solution for me would be going for the full package. Diamond would just be used a backup account.

@NBA
A Big Congratulations! What a wait? I guess the process is improving and anyone who opens an account now would get a quicker response.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. This is to wish you all a very wonderful Christmas and a great New Year ahead. May God direct all our steps and utterances in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

@ManJiro

Did you get your debit card in the pack? I was told it would be sent seperately.

@ManJiro

I have been researching on cars to buy and I have found that there is no generally good or bad car brand. Within every good brand there is a below average model and within every so called bad brand there usual a gem. I would suggest that you get the specific model of Kia and read the reviews of experts as well as users. There is also a link above which would also give you a review from a womans point of view as well. Goodluck

@NBA

Yes I have been able to logon to the Diamond Reach A/C. First the acoount had to activated.

@All

MTN's pp is ging for $2million,it is only for high networt individuals.
unless you want to pull resourses with 19 others to get in.(think of investment club)

@hbrednic, thanks. Thats the plan but I need numbers of units to disscuss with other interested parties. A copy of the ofter would be great

@ayala2002

Please are you able to give the number of units one would get for investing $100,000.00 in the MTN private placement, and second question how does one participate in it. Thanks

@ManJiro

I really havent paid attention to the exchange rate because it show in my pound account in pounds. I plan to move it to naira account when the exchange rate is good which means not any time soon. I noticed when loged into my account the exchange rate that day was 249 but on the home page it 246, so I will need to confirm how it works but I havent done that yet.

Officially it (LBIC) closed on the 28th of November, but if you go to the issuing house ie Greenwich or skye bank they may be able to accept it from you - Goodluck

Hi Etin,

How much does Futureview charge as account opening deposit?
I'm considering of joining them.

500000 naira I was told but please note my dealings with them were as the issuing hose for some shares I wanted to buy. On that level I was very pleased. As far as getting an account with them I do not know if they have online access to the accounts this feature I assume would be very important to anyone outside the country and I havent confirmed that yet.

Thanks for the very informative thread.

@NBA

e reach to tire o. Who is your contact? Try calling the customer service number I have found it very useful and response are quick. My contacts have been

Isi and Olajumoke

It would be a good idea for it to start now so in the new year plans (deals) are executed short and sharp.

@bjluv

It seems UBA NRN account would suit you to the teeth as they allow you nominate a relative to operate it for you and its designed for Nigerians abroad. These accounts have been disscussed in details on another thread:

Futureview, they have several over here but Barclays was more suitable for me as I have an account with them too

@Man Jiro

Thanks I stumbled unto Diamond Bank's rate and used it. It was bettere than CBN for today and just informed the Brokers what I did. It seem they have accepted it. I paid into their Barclays account over here and emailed a scanned evidence of the payment.

@Obamedo

Thanks you are so right I did realise there where various rates until I asked. I would appear that as long as i can pay pound in a UK Bank it would always be better than Moneygram or Western Union as you save the charges and get about the same rate.

Panadol:
@etin,

You can use this link below to get the official rate.

Fantastic device if you ask me but how safe is it?

@NBA
hope you are well and haven't given up on Diamond Bnk yet, I havent' been able to login yet but i am still optimistic. I am told that my debit card would be sent by another post. Its all good -nmy training in patience!!

You mentioned sending money to your stock broker by paying (wiring) into his Citibank account in the states using the official exchange rate. Please I need to know how to get this official rate. Is there a website that would give this information?
