U see Nigerians some time we play politics to our detriment, when GEJ wanted to do it everybody staged protest because we all felt that it was to his benefits by this time it would have stabilized. GEJ Remains the best thing that has happened to us irrespective of his short comings. PMB is proving him right by still following some of his policies. God bless Nigeria.

No, GEJ got it wrong then. See reason below.

------------------------------------------------------------

No, it wasn't APC or anybody fault that Jonathan subsidy removal backfired.

I could remember back in late 2011 NLC, TUC and other stakeholders were
holding meeting with FG on how to remove the subsidy.

They held series of meeting NLC, TUC, other stakeholders and FG which
ran into late December. Then the stakeholders were already cooperating
with FG on the removal and modality it will take.

And more importantly the stakeholders with FG have concluded then
to educate Nigerians the benefits of removing the subsidy.

The meeting was inconclusive in 2011, so the stakeholders and FG
agreed to continue the meeting by 2012.

Surprisingly the FG on Jan. 2 announced removal of subsidy without
reaching conclusion with the stakeholders.

This was how Jonathan administration shot himself in the foot,
hence the protest tagged "Occupy Nigeria".

In as much i support Buhari administration and subsidy removal, the FG
must talk with all the stakeholders on how and modality the removal
must take.

Also they must educate Nigerians the benefits of subsidy removal.

Buhari government should not repeat or replay Jonathan administration
mistakes.

kristisking:
It is now you know right? When GEJ made attempt to remove it in 2012, did you not take to the street to protest? When you were being led by the likes of president,El - rufai, Tunde Bakare and others to protest against fuel subsidy removal, didn't you realise the importance of the removal then? Or were you blindfolded by sentiment and hatred towards the then government? Some Nigerians can be funny and wicked atimes! Some of those people that called for the head of GEJ for planning to remove fuel subsidy are the same people saying fuel subsidy should be removed. This is serious!

No, GEJ shot himself in the foot then. See reason below...

You don't get it bro. Everyone knows the subsidy regime is bad and injurious to the economy but the APC just to win election promised not to tinker with it meaning that they won't remove the subsidy. Now they have won election on the strength of that promise and they are changing tune. What do you expert NLC to do?
Jonathan met a fraudulent subsidy system and not satisfied with it tried to remove it and reinvest the end in more productive ventures but the opposition led by Tinubu ganged up with the civil societies to frustrate the move. Suddenly it has dawned on them that the system should be scraped.

Lol!

I don't even want to calculate it: N40 x thousand dollars = ?

These people are wicked o

ibkgab001:
Thanks for making the banker richer by 40 naira on each dollar you sold to him


They play same tape here in OSUN state but they hear am instantly by them self when I monted the counter and didn't allow them to attend to the next customer

So GTBank has been cheating me all this while!

modath:
Sorry, but you have been jobbed!!

No policy of no cash FX withdrawal exists anywhere, GTB is just "helping" their mallam customers with free forex!! Round tripping tinz.

Yes, i know the headline will amuse some people.

I own a dom account account with Gtbank which i opened
when i was in Lagos.

All my adsense payments are deposited in the account.

For about 2 month now the only GTbank branch in my area council
of Ogun state told me i can't withdraw cash because the adsense
payment is an inflow.

That i can sell to another person electronically or sell to GTBank via
internet banking which they are claiming is a new CBN policy ( i have
searched for the policy but can't find it, not even on CBN website).

So for the past 2 months i have been selling to GTBank @teeth gnashing
range of N189 - N199 per dollar via internet banking.

But now the reason for this question and thread is shock awakening
of a friend who runs an adsense website but base in Lagos.

When he got the adsense alert last month, i told him he will have to open
internet banking to withdraw the money ( he is using GTBank as well).

To my surprised, he cashed the money over counter in a Lagos GTBank
and sold it to mallam.

That is the reason for this question or what do you think is going on?

So you want Fashola to turn the whole of Lagos State to Dubai
in 8 years?

Besides do you know the picture of Lagos State before Fashola administration?

I am 100% sure you don't or may be you do but the cancer of hatred has eaten up
your anus.

anonimi:
The way he delivered on Lagos schools with the World Bank loan he chopped, innit

I thought am the only person who saw that line. A whole CBN governor saying you don't need power for farming?

Just yesterday when i went to struggle for fuel, a farmer guy said he need at least 30 liters for
just that day and that he is ready to buy N150 per litter.

chukkiephil:
how can you describe a man who said you don't need power for farming?! OMG!!! and this man is our CBN GOVERNOR WE DON DIE!!!!!!!

Why do you want Buhari to die at all cost next year?

Is it because of Hatred or is your life frustrated?

I don't really get it, why your sole aim in 2016 is for Buhari to die.

You better pray to God for forgiveness and prepare your mind for greater
things in your personal life in 2016 irrespective Economy pendulum swing.

chrischina:
Sai what, so you never learn abi, na till hungry kill you next year. Sai buhari have nothing to offer Nigeria. He just want to travel around the world and die next year but I don't know the day or month. Stup,id fulani old fo,ol

Yes it will arrive by 2 weeks maximum, my experience twice.

The first time it arrived in 2 weeks, the NIPOST man brought it
but could not locate my house ( we don't have number in front of the house)

So i went to NIPOST nearest to my house and complained, it was then
the NIPOST man that brought it told me specifically it brought the card
to that house ( after describing my house) and said could not locate the number ( my fault).

So i was told they have returned the card. Then i told the NIPOST man that
i will re-apply for the card again and the man promised to ask for my name in that
house which he did after 2 weeks when the second card arrived.

Moral of the story locate the nearest post office to your house and, consult
and rapport with them you will surely get your card.

Oh! I tipped the NIPOST man 200 naira after delivery instead of paying $50 to DHL for fast delivery.

Hope this help.

Emmanuelnce:
I used a correct postal code, and I am in IMO state, but its been 2 months but I haven't received it yet.
I heard that someone can make use of a faster method in getting the card, but, you will need to pay for it.

@PLANETMARS

So if i use my normal IP, which is Nigeria IP.

Can i use a UK address along with it?

PLANETMARS:
use ur normal ip

Do you mean inflow (electronic) or physical dollar deposit?

o42austino:
ur argument made sense but, not total sense. Yes their is outflow of forex but, u fail to mention that the Government refuse it's people to deposit their inflow forex in their banks and that's making it difficult for banks to find forex to give to its customers.

How are you guys opening clickbank from Nigeria?

Because i opened about 3 times at different times
with different UK public proxies all were closed by clickbank.

So how are guys doing it now?

I don't even understand the whole thing again.

Because in the state (Ogun State) and local council i am staying
the only branch of my bank don't allow me to do physical
withdrawal of my adsense dollars claiming it is CBN policy.

So for the past a month now i have been selling to my bank at a
loss of $1 to N189 - 199.05 via internet banking.

But where i am confused now is that some people on nairaland
are able to be doing physical withdrawal in the same bank ( not
in my local council branch) even when the dollar is inflow.

What made me now believe nairaland users claim
is a friend i am helping to run an adsense website
who is residing in Lagos.

Just last week he was able to withdrew his inflow adsense
dollars and sold them to mallam. And to think that we are
using the same bank o. May be the CBN that is controlling
banks in Ogun state is different to that of Lagos state.

That is why for next payment, i am traveling to Lagos to
do physical withdrawal, because here the branch here want
milk me dry.

JN1:
You can't withdraw the $$ sent by Google from your Dorm account, CBN imposed embargo on it. You can only use the bank Token to change it online which will result to 199/$. Another way is transferring it to another dorm account but there is something like 5% charges for it.

Congrats though but i don't envy him for having a first class in Maths.

Because if you have an outstanding mathematical skill and talent
( which the guy have)and you choose to study Maths in tertiary
institution then you are destiny to make an excellent first class
like this brilliant chap.

Where this guy got more brilliant is when he applied his mathematical
talent to his chosen field of study in the university.


The people i respect most are those that make first class in
social sciences and pure sciences.

Because in both instances you have to prove in written that
you know what you are saying of which the examiner may still
mark you down.

But in Maths universally 2 + 2 = 4, no examiner can arguing against that.

All the same, once again congrats to this dude. Because to make
first class in any Nigerian universities no be "moinmoin" not talk of
been over all best graduating student.

As i later discovered not only GTbank is unpredictable at this moment.

All Nigerian banks are currently not unpredictable because
on another thread here someone said that UBA visa card charged him
at @265 per $1 for online transaction.

People should be careful of using Nigerian Banks card to shop
online so that you won't receive debit alert in naira and collapse.

estilo:
That's too high o. They charged #220 to $1 that same yesterday. Gtbank is unpredictable chai.

When last did use your Skyebank card?

As far as Nigerian banks are concern anytime from
last Thursday onward is not predictable.

Like you, i have always vouch for GTbank that its won't charge more
than 220.05( because that was the range its have been charging me
not until yesterday) as the time other banks were charging more than that.


And i use the card to buy at least a day in every week.

sofiabelgrade:
Skyebank is better for online transactions. Forget about U.B.A and GTB.

Yes most of them have upped their rates since Thursday.

Diamond bank N217? I saw on another thread here where someone said that
Diamond charged him/her N230 per dollar, so they all not predictable especially
from Thursday.

Besides i have always use GTbank at N220.02 the highest per dollar not
until yesterday experience.

MzDeeb:
I did an online transaction last 2 weeks. And i was charged #230 per dollar by GTB. Whereas, a colleague of mine was charged #217 by her bank- Diamond bank..

I was so pissed off.

I just received GTbank debit alert this morning of the transaction
i did yesterday around 9:30pm.

You know what? GTbank charged me N239.998843....... per $1

In short do the calculation yourself: N18,671.91 divided by $77.8

I was thinking that the charges won't be more than N220.05 per dollar,
can you imagine the difference?

At least Nigerian banks should have a system that will notify one
of their POS dollar rate before doing e-transaction.

I am just using this to alert people who might want to use their
card to buy via any e-transaction channels to do their finding
very well before any transaction.

Walahi this money pain me no be small

Oh my God! I just received GTbank debit alert this morning of the transaction
i did yesterday around 9:30pm.

You know what GTbank charged me N239.998843....... per $1

In short do the calculation yourself: N18,671.91 divided by $77.8

Can you imagine? And if you want to sell dollar to GTbank via the internet
banking, they will say they are buying N199 to $1


I am telling you Nigerian banks are worst than BDC.


And to think that i helped a friend to do this transaction of which

i charged him N220.01 per dollar. Kai! This guy must pay me my balance today or...

estilo:
#220 to $1 as at 2:45pm today.

Oh i see, thank you.

estilo:
#220 to $1 as at 2:45pm today.

What was the rate GTbank charge you when you use your naira mastercard
to purchase online both yesterday and today?

Asking because i am about to make a payment of $88.00 using
GTbank naira mastercard.

Anyone?
