Firewood iz best anyday.

Welcome to my world. I've asked this question (as well as hundreds of other questions) time and time and time over and over and over again. Don't sweat it. The sheeple ain't got no answers for you rather they'll chide and criticize you for having the "effrontery" to challenge the bible. They will attack you rather than come forward with straight answers. They will beat about the bush till you get sick and bored of the whole charade.

Nuff said!!!

This is serious. I need to build me a mansion. I can't take the oppression anymore

Wow!!!

I guess all good things must come to an end sometime.

^^^lol...it's all good man.

Victor 3: Carefully peruse through these conditions cos the buyer is only willing to deal with any of these.

For TTO($10/6) loaded cargo with verifiable proofs, the buyer issues mt799 as POF once he verifies those Proofs. But if not loaded cargo, buyer issues mt999 till documentation is done with NNPC in his name as the consignee before issuing LC/MT 103 for the full cost of transaction.

For CIF: discount should be $9/6.
For loaded cargo with verifiable POP, buyer places mt799 after verifying the POP and the vessel sails immediately. While for unloaded, he places mt999 till POP are released and once POP are verified, he places mt799 and the vessel sails immediately.

Whatever procedure you have is ok by him but under these conditions would he oblige cos he ain't ready to block his fund for more than 2weeks max.

And please all these third party, fourth party spa, leaving only $.25 for buyer's facilitators ain't welcome cos buyer's facilitators many oooo.

First of all, anybody with insider knowledge of crude oil knows it's ALWAYS a seller's market. The seller dictates the tune and procedures NOT the buyer. There are less than 50 genuine sellers of crude in this country and they are all multi-billionaires with buyers crawling at the feet with offers every blessed day. If you were in that position, would you have time to consider any so called "buyer's procedure" when you have more than 500 people that are more than willing to follow your own procedure to the letter? I currently have an unreplied LOI from a direct buyer in the US and the seller disregarded it all because the buyer started putting rubbish procedures in the LOI. That is how it works my friend. The buyer writes an LOI stating he/she/they want to procure XXXXXXXXXXXX amount of crude on CIF/FOB basis for XXXX amount of months. The seller now responds with their procedure followed by either an SCO or POP (in my case, i have the POP which i can [b]NEVER [/b]give to even the direct buyer in this world or the next). This is the reality of crude oil business and not all these documents flying all over the place with nothing concluded at the end of the day.

Second,anything BLCO on TTO is a dicey game. I currently have SPA with complete vessel details but i cannot say i am 100% sure it exists and i only give it out on request hoping it turns out to be genuine coz i don't think any sane person will load 2million barrels of BLCO in a vessel and leave it to float for weeks/months without buyers killing each other to grab it.

Third, you haven't even seen the seller's procedure or the SPA and you are already making terms and conditions in the sharing formula...you are already declaring an endless chain of agents/facilitators. That alone is enough to put of anyone who can bring a clean deal to you. Everyday i hear agents talk about greed in other agents but as it is, they are ALL GREEDY!!! Apart from the so called "mandates" (who have no legal documents backing themselves as mandates or even have direct contact with the buyer), at best there can be one or two more agents. Anything more than that is a fraud and it's very common in this industry. A lot of potential good deals have gone down the drain because of this common trend. People are their greedy tendencies/insecurities kill deals.

Finally, crude oil is not that easy to get. Anyone who tells you different is only deceiving you. The constant fuel crisis in this country should be more than enough to tell you it's not as easy as that. The seller calls the shots. Get that into your head if you want to make headway in this industry.

Nuff said!!!

When i was a teenager, YES! At this age? NO! Why? It's pointless. People will always make dumb moves on the road each day and yelling out is only giving yourself blood pressure. I just watch out for the dumb drivers and use the horn when necessary.

Yeah, there was this chicken we had for a couple of days when i was a kid. I fed it with rice and corn and one day, it was beheaded. I miss that chicken.

Impulse80: Listen, i don't think u're in Nigeria, i went thru hell as a teenager being a houseboy to the point that i had to run away from dat house! Which one i go talk leave the other? Is it the beatings? Or the psycological trauma? (it took me 2 years to stop having nightmares of when i was there) just pray that calamity doesn't befall you(my dad died when i was 12, my mum 2 years later) or your wife because wetin anoda pesin go take ur children eyes see eh...

Thank you very much. Some of the people commenting here are either not in touch with reality or telling outright lies. There are some talking about how good they treat their househelps but i'm pretty sure those househelps would have a different story to tell if they were to say their piece.

Personally, i think people who do such are sick in the head. "House helps" are modern day slaves. Most of the abuse I've seen meted out on them are is usually from the wife of Oga. A real house help gets paid for services rendered and that's it (like a nanny). When you bring an 11yr old girl from the village,make her washes dirty baby diapers,dishes,sweep the house,fetch water (if there is no direct water supply),go to the market,rocks the baby and on top of that you castigate everything she does, nothing she does is ever right, you beat her regularly, she feds on leftovers and rotten food, etc...THAT IS SLAVERY and believe it or not, it's very very very common.

newcreatio: Wow...that man needs to relax and re-position...and remember, he's at a lot more risk.
He's worked HARD for that cash...
...if he loses it to improper planning, and to say the least without consulting God on way forward, you know how Nigeria, money has wings...
...give him time, let him have all the time to pray and ponder and hear what the Lord will say to him.
Sometimes its not about starting business...it's about the business that wins
...just like a rocking chair, all motion, no distance covered.
A man who can save that much is definitely visionary...
...only support him in prayer, don't put pressure...

Abeg, tell dem ooo! Dem want make d man rush enter wetin no make sense. When e finally lose all the money, na d same ppl go condemn am for improper planning and too much rush rush.

pro01:

Well we can't be sure; bankers are 'creative' in the way they manage our deposits, so hook or crook, everything goes. In any case, come to think of it, maybe he does have MUCH MORE than N6m stashed away somewhere. I'm guessing only a buffoon of a man would tell his wife the actual amount of money he has at any point in time, let alone at a critical point in time like this. Otherwise he might not be quite as wise as one would have hoped.

Thank you!!! I wanted to hint on that in my first comment here but that wouldn't be good coz madam go capitalize on that begin winch d poor guy for house. This thread alone proves why IT IS ABSOLUTE MADNESS TO LET YOUR WIFE KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE WORTH!!! She knows her husband has N6million somewhere. The whole world (including faceless nairalanders) now know her husband has N6million somewhere. Most definitely everybody who knows them personally is aware of N6million somewhere. If some criminal elements who are desperate decide to attack or even kidnap one of them (most definitely her because na the husband go pay), they will say it's the "work of devil". See how such information has spread. Thousands of people have already read this thread and amongst them might be criminal elements with less than honorable intentions. Woman no dey ever think go dat side. Na wetin dem want now now now be dia own.

Marriage? Hmmm....guyz wey dey inside dat yoke dey try.

jennykadry: Strange, I kind of understand this woman's fear. 6 million is not a lot of money because no one knows their kind of life style. That money could go at any time. I[b] know her husband wants to rest but it's best he starts looking things up and applying to different places. [/b]No one knows how long this process will take. Rest only comes when one is dead but as long as you are still alive you have to hustle and survive

Can you give suggestions? It's always easy to talk the talk but can you provide a solution to the problem? Do you honestly think the man isn't worried about his predicament? Is it until he starts walking aimlessly on the streets that you'd be happy? I don't know why women are so ridiculously irrational. I can bet you that right in the house, he is pressing buttons, making calls, sending emails, reaching out to contacts that can be of influence BUT because he hasn't worn a tie and left the house to start wandering aimlessly, the wife believes life has ended and all he is content with is eating and sleeping at home.

I'm so glad i'm not married. No wonder so many guys are dying from high blood pressure before they hit 45yrs.

Who cares?

It's taken too long. At the rate things started, i expected CBN to have released N1million note by now.

mbulela:
6m seems like a lot of money to you.Believe me, it is not.

N6million naira is not a lot of money but it's something. Look, i have a pal of mine who spent 11 years working in UBA (since the days of Standard Trust Bank). When he got sacked few years ago, he had little or no savings and on top of that, he was heavily indebted with loans he took from the bank. His saving grace is that he's still single with no kids yet (he's 38yrs). A lot of people who lost their jobs during the early days of the "Sanusi inquisition" had less than N200,000 to boast of in their accounts. Someone working in a bank with a wife and four kids and can still squeeze out N6million to save is not a dummy. The wife is creating the impression that the guy is just sitting at home content with life and not thinking of the future (i don't know why women just love to create wrong impressions about something that is not). What does she expect him to do? Dress up every morning and start trotting all over the street looking for a job? There are millions of graduates out there that are jobless and even at that, he stands a good chance of getting another good job with his years of experience (and probably a cabinet filled with certificates). He was definitely not a low level staffer to be able to save that amount. How much do you think cashiers or low level accountants earn?

Abeg, leave the man alone to put his act together. Like my man PRO1 rightfully said, it's this kind of nagging that causes men to spend hours in beer parlors all day all in the name of creating the impression of "being busy".

pro01: Nothing tests the 'goodness' of one's wife more than losing one's job or running into troubled waters in one's business. If, unfortunately, the situation doesn't turn around quickly enough, even the most virtuous and respectful of wives metamorphose into total she-devils before their husbands very eyes, and the once rosy marriage becomes a field of thorns. Even this one that just lost his job, the wife is already pushing him to 'go out' when he is still trying to reassess his situation and take a deep breath. Go out to where? Is that how people find white collar jobs in this country? By going out to God-knows-where even without prior connections or applications and whatnot? Soon he'll be forced to dress up in the morning and head out to some nice beer parlour somewhere to kill time with younger dudes or other men that are in similar predicaments. I know a couple of guys like that. At least that would be better than staying at home and being branded 'lazy' or 'unambitious' by their wives.

As for you, OP, the bitter truth is that no matter how hard you purport to 'support' him through this trying time, your patience would fizzle out sooner than later - unless you husband gets his groove back by hook or crook. As such, there is little advice one can realistically give you in the circumstances, knowing how inelastic women's patience is when it comes to matters concerning money and financial security in their men. I'd rather advice your husband to strategize, network, and do whatever it takes to get another job at all costs. Who knows, with your prayers and his desperate measures, he might yet get his life back on track sooner than we think. It's really a do or die affair for him.

Well said man. This thread proves once again that marriage isn't about "unconditional love" as people tend to profess. A man has lost his job, he's been home for just a few weeks and already the whole world now knows her husband is jobless (no doubt all her friends,neighbors,family/relatives and church members already know her husband is out of work...what a shame!!!). The man struggled to save N6million in this harsh economy and she's complaining. What if he had no savings? She would probably have kicked him out of the house (just like that Nollywood actor that was kicked out of the house into the street by his wife due to his protracted illness and poor financial situation). So much for "love".

@Unmarried guys on nairaland

Abeg, make una dey read and learn from all dis yeye threads wey NL mama's dey post to understand wetin marriage dey about. No let any woman deceive you say na becos of luv she wan marry you. All na lie lie. D day wey shi shi no dey pocket, she go change am for you. Better know what you are getting into before you get into it.

Nuff said!

People get married for the following reasons :

(1)Societal and peer pressure e.g "All my friends are married and i am the only one left out" OR "My mom says she wants a grand child before the end of next year".

(2)Religious pressure/beliefs

(3)Keeping up with the Joneses

(4)Social status (whatever that is)

(5)Social security

(6)They don't want to be seen as being "odd" and "wayward".


That's about it. Forget all that talk of getting married because of "love". The term LOVE is an illusion. They say love is unconditional and a beautiful feeling,bla bla bla (all that is infactuation). If a guy gets married to a pretty lady and para-venture she gets disfigured when a jealous ex-bf splashes acid on her face, would the guy still love her the same way? NO! If a lady gets married to a rich guy and the guy para-venture loses all his wealth in unfortunate deals,loses his job,loses his cars/houses and on top of that, he gets into an auto accident that paralyses him from the waist down...would she still love him the same way? NO! And yet...they say love is "unconditional". People just love decieving themselves.

On this forum, there is a thread concerning a lady who's husband just lost his bank job but managed to save N6million. He has been home for a few weeks and she is already complaining as if someone who can save N6million from a civil job in this hard country is a fool. Imagine what she would have done if he had no savings. Some weeks ago, i read in an article of a prominent Nollywood actor who's been ill and broke for a while and got thrown out of the house by his own wife! So much for love. So much for "till death do us part".

Women ALWAYS know what they want from marriage (inspite of all the mushy stuff they proclaim). It's usually the men who have their heads in the clouds. Women get married for three main reasons :

(A)Social status

(B)Financial/Social security

(C)To have kids "legally" and also have a binding legal document they can use to toss the man around in event of the dissolution of that marriage.

Do you really think Beyonce would have married Jay-Z if he wasn't worth over $400million USD? Do you think Tiger Woods wife would have married him if he was an average Joe on the golf course? Do you think Seal's wife married him for his "looks"? Do you think Bianca married Ojukwu because of his beards? Do you think Nigerian ladies are crazy about D'Banj for his singing skills alone? Women ALWAYS know what THEY WANT. If you think women marry because of love, then you need to get your head re-examined.
