Wanna know if Chinosxl does fedex pickups. I'm seeing some good deals but only available for fedex pickups.

Hey man, sorry to derail your thread, couldn't find a better platform. I saw your comment on another thread regarding you shopping on Amazon. Well, I have been having a problem with this, I tried ordering several times on different accounts but each time I place a couple of order, I get an address verification email from amazon and my account gets locked.
Just wanna know which bank card you used and if you just started using amazon. Thanks.

Just so people don't get confused, anime refers to Japanese cartoons so The Simpsons cannot be called an anime because its inherently Western.

Yea, anime is a Japanese cartoon genre. I used it then more broadly and loosely as the general animation genre, that loose usage not so uncommon nowadays. You're right tho.

I googled Death Note, and guessed what popped up? A cartoon! Implying that a cartoon or anime or (whatever you call it) was actually better than BB is nothing short of pure Comedy!! I can't stop laughing.

Breaking Bad is a top show, probably the greatest in the last 5 years, but saying no anime can be better is pushing it. The Simpsons is heads and shoulders above it.

Since when did the word 'Xclusive' become exclusively DJ Xclusive's?

This is the most idiotic critique yet on all levels. Hypocrisy? Boy, educate yourself before ignorantly flinging the wrong words. There are many sticks to beat Buhari and APC with but your obvious bias has blinded your ability to pick a suitable one.

This same Walgreens USA again. That's where some 419 stole my dollars too on Union visa card and carried out several transactions along with Onola Car Shipping business, Onola Car wash and Walgreens groceries. They were just using my visa card anyhow. Previous year it was booking flight on Japan Airline International. Thank God that Union bank responsibly gave me Visa International indemnity and refund claim form to fill and followed it up. My dollars were refunded after they blocked/hotlisted the card.

Sad to hear this has happened at your end more than once. Fortunately, you were refunded unlike many victims of similar fraudulent transactions. I might have to open a Union account as a result.

I know quite a lot about financial frauds, loopholes and how to protect yourself. In your case, there are lots of possibilities as to how your card info became compromised. Seeing that it occurred more than once limits the possibilities to just a few.

Firstly, keep your cards away from your friends especially the shady ones.
Secondly, if you often make online transactions with your card, it's likely you have a keylogger malware or RATs installed on your computer or phone. In which case all the info you input on these devices become compromised. It's also possible that your favorite online store database has been hacked and your card info is being sold on the black market.

There's no 100% way to protect your info trust me. There are many means to get a card info for fraudulent use which I won't illustrate here lest the shady ones in forum take advantage. Just keep your card away from people as much as possible.

How do you guys order from ebay? Do you just add item to cart and checkout using your Nigerian debit cards just like other sites or you have to open a paypal account and transfer funds into the paypal account?

twosquare:
humm....I guess u should contact them or is paypal an option of purchase? Maybe you should go through that gateway to purchase your goods.

Thanks for ur help. I contacted GTB cardservices and the rep suggested they will contact Amazon but apparently, nothing was done as the hold hasn't been lifted. Paypal isn't an option coz I prefer shopping on Amazon than on ebay.

twosquare:
Have u filled your billing address on your amazon account?

I have but I'm still getting the same message.

I've been trying to make purchases on Amazon with my GTB mastercard. shortly after I placed the orders, I get an email from amazon saying "we have placed a hold on your account because the card issuer declined our request to verify your billing address". Anybody know what I can do about it? Called gtconnect but they couldn't help resolve the problem.

Has anybody had any problem ordering from Amazon? I keep getting an email after placing my orders that "my amazon has been placed on hold because they couldn't confirm my billing address from the card issuer." Very frustrating. Anybody had this problem and what can I do to resolve it?

My List:

#1. Dexter Morgan: A sociopath with a conscience. He doesn't kill innocent people to satisfy the 'dark passenger', rather he make do with people like him or worse.

#2. Walter White: Also known by his clandestine pseudonym "Heisenberg", this guy needs no introduction. His was a story about a good man that was corrupted by greed and how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You don't wanna cross this guy, believe me. He might come across as 'enfant terrible' a novice trying to act tough, but he can be as ruthless as they come.

#3. Omar Little: If you've watched "The Wire", then this niggah needs no introduction. He's every drug dealers nightmare in the sense that he robs them, any time, anywhere and any place and always in broad daylight. Talk about guts. He can hold a grudge too, just ask Stringer Bell. Lolz.

He's gay but don't call him a gay in his face though, not that he cares much of what you think of him, but he just might blow your áss away anyway with that shotgun he carrys around everywhere.

Like he would say: “Come at the king, you best not miss.”

#4. Tyrion Lannister: Also known as "the Imp". Great things does come in small packages indeed. This man proved that being a dwarf is not a disability, if anything, it's an advantage. Like he once told Jon:

"Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you."

He's an endless stream of cunning and great quotes. Yep. Every time he opens his mouth, just find a pen and paper and jot down, cuz it bound to be memorable.

"I just want to stand on top of the Wall and piss off the edge of the world.”

Tyrion Lannister is the real deal.

Excellente. You effectively reminded me of Omar's sawed off shot gun. He steps into the projects, even gangsters flee, " Omar coming". He is my most fascinating TV character.

lanaVello1:
My list..
Raymond reddington in the blacklist(James spader)
Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries(Ian Sonmerhalder)
Fish in Gotham(urhmm duno her real name yet)
Louis Litt in suits(kinda tempirary tho)

Good one. Keep them coming guys.

Kk4:
Hannibal is a great series. Can't get enough

Jax Teller..he is formidable, as smart as he is dangerous.

Reddington..most psychotic man on tv last year. Sick fellow

Yea, Hannibal is dope. Told 3 of my friends last year. Now they're hooked.

acenazt:
Your Topic is crappy it doesn't rhyme with wat u wrote. You said super villains and most of the guys u called here r just normal villains

Point noted.

acenazt:
haaaa you mean to tell me People like Klaus are not villainous? You should know even jeoffry barathron is below klaus

Klaus wouldn't even crack my top 50 but that's me. Vampire Diaries is a decent show for young people. On a grand scale, it's flimsy and the plot is winding down an endless road. Hence the reason I take the characters less serious.

acenazt:
Hhahahahahaah where una live Klaus,Damon,Styles Stillinski(Nogitsune) and grant ward?

Grant Ward still has a long way to go. The others don't even come close.

afolag:
i was hoping to see TALES by moon light....or checkmate.
Thislife or super story....I dnt think those TV series still exist.
Wale Adenuga production presents!!! gan gan!! gan gan!!! this is super story....we go run wen we hear d sound. ...he who remember the pleasure of the past is not enjoying the present.
God bless nigeria

It's a pity the TV scene in Naija is dead. Super Story was thriving at one time. Agbara Nla (Ultimate Power), a movie/series hybrid, more like a miniseries, was the rave when I was younger.

kallmemrB:
Ogunjimi in KOTO ORUN

Ayamatanga in Mount Zion film

Lmao. You got me. Those are downright crazy badassess too. But those are movies tho.

Granted, I haven't seen too many TV series, but you'd be hard-pressed to find badass villains as the ones in my list. I definitely will miss a few ones and probably later scratch my head thinking how I could have left that out. Until then, here they are:

1. The Whole lot in 'The Wire' - Marlo Stanfield, Stringer Bell, Avon Berksdale, Omar Little, Brother Mundoe (Yea, I know he only showed up in a few episodes, but heck, this guy is super badass), Snoop, Chris Partlow. Need I say this is the best TV show I have ever seen.

2. James Moriarty - Maybe I'm a bit bias ranking him this high as Sherlock is my favorite TV show ever (best is different from favorite for those that are wondering). But really, this guy is like the TV version of Heath Ledger's Joker.

3. Hannibal - Admittedly, Hannibal has just two seasons completed and some people will argue we are yet to see what pans out for the titular character. The two seasons are enough for me, this guy is a cold, artistic killer. You don't wanna be munching on those popcorns while watching him in action tho.

4. Frank Underwood - I have never seen a more frustrating, annoying and interesting character as this. There's simply no match for him yet. I cringe each time he does his trademark sly smirk. You literally wanna hop into your TV and knock him off. BRAVO KEVIN SPACEY.

5. Leorne Malvo - You don't wanna cross path with this guy. He simply leaves a trail of bodies in his wake. Calculating, skilled and creepy.

6. Heisenberg - Yes, he is a villain. One quote "I'm not in danger Skylar, I'm the danger."

7. Joffrey Baratheon - Game of Thrones is littered with villains, but Joffrey tops the bunch. This is not your average spoilt brat, he revels in the misery of others. I read somewhere the actor has received several security threats as a result of the character. If that ain't badassery at its peak, I don't know what is.

8. The Governor - We were supposed to be scared of the zombies. The Governer made sure the zombies were child's play.

9. Sylar - I almost forgot him. In a world where many had superpowers, it's only normal to have some use theirs for good while others prefer the dark ways. There are the good guys, the bad guys, and then there's Sylar. He assimilates the powers of whoever he kills, what better motivation to continue the spree?

10. Gus Fring - We have read of the horrors of the Cartel. Gus Fring brings that into fold and then some. He drives a volvo, owns a fast food joint but he won't hesitate to slaughter with his bare hands anybody who comes between him and his meth business.

Hit me with yours and let's see those I left out. I'm sure I did.

tit:
this is apc versus apc fight.
do not bring fayose into your self created troubles.

I guess you're living up to your username.

Series
Sherlock
The Wire
Damages

Movies
Snatch
Usual Suspects
Inglorious Basterds

Gotta add this classic Nigerian Movie; Koseegbe. Hard to choose between that and Snatch as my all time favorite.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, you are a tribal bigot.
It kills faster than e.Bola

Wonderful! I see your interpretation of my comment is perfect. In the mean time, you might wanna take a crash course in English comprehension.

Some dicksucks will make this an ethnic thing. I'm Yoruba but importantly I'm Nigerian.

kamez:
As far as this 2015 election is concerned.. I will sit on the fence..

Nigerians keep shouting change we need change we need..

We have lots of issues to tackle in this country b4 we can progress as a nation.. From security to unemployment, to poor health services, bad roads, epileptic power supply, bad economy corrupt leaders the list is endless.

"We want change we want change" and yet we select GEJ and GMB to contest for presidency

If out of 150 million people, GEJ and GMB are the best and only two candidates we can produce to effect this much needed change, then we re really not going to get this change ..except u guys are expecting a miracle..


Until we allow credible, intelligent, innovative, fearless economic and financial gurus rule this country, this stagnation will most likely continue into the foreseeable future.

Personally I don't care about the tribe, as long as the candidate is right..and these two candidates are more clueless than innovative..( So anyone of them dat wins na just management for another 8yrs)

MY CANDID OPINION.. ( Pls APC and PDP loyalist don't quote me. I'm a nigerian and I'm entitled to my own opinion same as u ) na beg I dey beg

So glad to see someone else is thinking in this country. They (the ruling elite) have essentially forced two undeserving candidates on the people and we are taking the bait; biting their fingers off like Buhari is the deal of the century.

Neither has shown or impressed upon me any remarkable record or articulated plan to push this country out of her travails. To effectively enslave a man, take away his choices. This quote is apt in this situation.

why isn't chinosxl replyimg ny sign up mail?

I have sent two emails now without reply. I need to sign up. please reply from ademola******@gmail.com.

which ones can you guys recommend? at least from your experiences dealing with them. I need one ASAP.

I have a brand new never activated iPhone 5S silver for sale at 82K. Not in Lagos, in Ondo. Preferably somewhere close by as you would need to see what you wanna buy first hand. 82K no negotiations. Might hand out a free screen protector and rubber case as gifts.

Those are expensive watches. The Franck Muller watch should cost at least $5000.

Just a rolex

Please, just try google the price of one.
