Love800:By 'online', that is the secure website of the bank where you can login from any browser, check your balance and make transactions. To transfer, you could use an app, 'online (i.e website), USSD (i.e specific phone codes). Other methods would be cheques, via an account officer (for certain accounts) e.t.c. In todays world, no one should be using a screenshot from the sender to verify transfer of funds. |
maureensylvia:Why are you relying on a screenshot (or even SMS alert) to confirm receipt of funds? So if the person didn't seem in a hurry, would you have released the goods? Forging a transaction screenshot to have all features of an original can be done in seconds. It might be you were targeted because they know you don't have a quick and reliable means to confirm receipt of funds. Calling your account officer for every regular transaction is not a good use of time. Your bank app or online account is the quickest and most reliable way of confirming |
Tracka:Easy with the self-deprecating statements. The value of a nation is not dependent on the presence of a U.S embassy. Moreso, it's not just in African nations they're shutting down embassies - even Scotland might lose its embassy. Would you say other nations lack value because of a U.S embassy? |
sholadele4:It's a fair deal especially considering the LTV I'm also with Barclays but variable. Can't wait to remortgage |
Kenyan law enforcement agencies have copied this illegal habit of parading suspects. People are innocent until peoven guilty. Its a pathetic way for incompetent security agencies to make it seem they are working. After parading suspects, next is to release them after bribes. Any of such (if at all) should be done after conviction |
sholadele4:Congrats. Done in good time too. What was your mortgage interest rate and what duration was it for? Looking to get a pulse on the market |
Zahra29: Zahra29:Double quote.. Hehe... Even more vituperation. You've had enough of my time today.
|
Zahra29:Lol.. typical. We call it ad hominem.
|
Zahra29:Are all these vituperations just for me? At least, we can both agree that our anchor baby is staring down the barrel of a fully loaded gun. I hope she knows to keep her hands off the trigger. As always, I can only wish her well. |
Goodenoch:He is (and this is coming from someone who didn't vote Labour). He has a calm head that doesn't seek controversy. Even on discussing with those angry about his moves, they know he's doing the right thing and are unable to highlight an alternative option. This is another reason why Kemi has her work cutout - despite challenges, his performance has been good enough that she's struggled to sell alternatives. Trumps shenanigans and his unpopularity locally hasn't boded well for her. The only criticism of him hat sticks is that he is not ambitious enough i.e not looking to make wild changes to the system. This can go both ways. From the riots, to Ukraine, to Trump, to China, to legal immigration, to the rape issue, to the NHS, to even removing undocumented migrants- its been all clear talk and do with no populist catch phrases. |
Zahra29:Hehe.. not surprising you managed to drag Reform into the matter. I wonder what Reform has to do with Starmer effectively putting Kemi in a cupboard. That Kemi has been unable to capitalise on an expected first-year slump in Labour's popularity is concerning. For Reform, the last time their likes pushed policy, it brought about Brexit which I am forever grateful for. If my compatriots feel they are the best deal, I'm happy with that. A part of me wants them to win - they would bode well for my business interests. Moreover, certain lessons have to be learned twice. |
Goke7:Starmer has done a good job of cozying up to Trump. I gather the UK are top in line to receive American freebies. Still wondering what is going on between us and China though. Lots of back and forth but this governments message has been clear- we need them. I'm beginning to appreciate Starmer's diplomacy with both the U.S and China - cozying up to them but standing furm on local issues.
|
Goodenoch:The bolded got me thinking. Her unravelling has been quite telling. She looks increasingly desperate with each day that passes- clutching at anything to gain attention. She had so much goodwill at the start but instead decided to focus on her 'ethnic enemies'. Recently, it was that major Tory donors have refused to fund the party cos they believe she stands no chance. Despite being quite loud on her achievements and hoping it was just a slow start, she kept digging herself in. |
Goodenoch:Trumps shenanigans and Starmers handling of it hasn't given her much wiggle room. Truth be said, Starmer has been doing the lords work on her lately - she no dey remember 9ja. The media cancel on her is quite strinking though. Whenever she's in the news, its either because of a gaffe and her removal being predicted or on certain reportage where due to fair reporting rules, her opinion has to be included as the opposition.

Though coming fairly late, kudos to Kier Starmer for showing a human face to the care worker issue. I wonder what Kemi would have done. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/support-offer-to-international-asc-workers-whose-employers-sponsor-licence-has-been-revoked/support-offer-to-international-asc-workers-whose-employers-sponsor-licence-has-been-revoked

Goke7:The 'beauty' of capitalism. Even if one doesn't like capitalism, to do well in the west, one needs to understand it. Just like pre-Brexit, I'm sure when folks asked what would happen to the care sector e.t.c if eastern Europeans stopped coming, avid brexiteers would have said 'good! they're stealing our jobs and keeping wages low'. Well, we know how things went. One thing I've noticed about major western nations is that they not too infrequently mimic themselves. You can just about predict how one would go by looking at another. Poor Trumpists are still waiting for the freebies they were promised. |
Goke7:Lord knows what inside trades must have happened. I stumbled on a video of Trump saying how much his Team made- I'm unsure if it's recent or legit. Upper weekend, I was too 'scared' to buy and free money no dey. This last weekend, I looked at my pension account and unknown to me, the 20% government rebate of my last personal contribution was sitting there. I jejely placed orders- make I follow Trump et.al jolly. Too much uncertainty but a V-reversal wouldn't surprise me.

justwise:In absolute terms, more pain should come Chinas way. However their ability to tolerate and absorb the pain is much higher than the Americans. It was inevitable they'd lose low paid manufacturing as their middle class grows and they've worked towards that. Today, the likes of Apple and German Auto makers would do everything to sell in China. Also, for China, it was also only a matter of time before they'd clash with the U.S and tarrifs on them have long been mooted. I'd be surprised if they don't already have a clear pathway to adress this. American companies OTOH are largely surprised at the scale of this In addition, the Chinese are far less exposed to the stock market. They've had their issues with housing where most invest in. Americans OTOH, have most of their retirement funds invested in their markets. Lastly, China owns hundreds of billions in U.S debt which they have began to sell down to great disarray at the White House. America own squat in Yuan debt. I'm hoping that for the rest of the world esp 9ja, rather than this be a case of '2 elephants fighting and the grass suffers', smaller nations could ride on this and drive better investment opportunities for themselves. China needs aggressively fund development in some nations allied to it just thesame way America did with Japan, South Korea and Europe after the world war II. That way, both parties would come out better |
Goke7:Hehe.. Tariffs on China to reduce taxes on Americans. Sounds very similar to 'we send £355 miliion to the EU a week'. This seems to be their Brexit moment and they may very well learn the British way. So far, China isn't blinking and the U.S is looking increasingly desperate to discuss. Eitherway, with the market selloff, it's looking like those who bought last week sniped a good deal. |
Interesting...

Hehe... Trump chasing straws
|
EJIOGBENIMI:I'd say there is a reason the 3-bed seems more popular than the 4 bed. Good chance that does not change anytime soon. |
Whats happening with Trump First this President Trump reportedly told farmers, "We're also going to work with them that if they have strong recommendations for their farms for certain people, we're going to let them stay in for a while and work with the farmers," on Thursday, April 10, as reported by The Washington Times. Essential sectors like agriculture, hospitality, and others that depend on manual labor must have access to workers, he said. The president implied that these employees will formally apply for permanent residency status in due time.Then this Smartphones, laptop computers, memory chips and other electronics will be exempt from President Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariffs...Capitalism ![]() I wonder if this is their Brexit moment- they are about to learn the British way
|
EJIOGBENIMI:Like for like, there is usually a prenium on detached properties. In your case, there are some differences in both but being on thesame development makes it easier to compare. For the 4-bed semi with 4 toilets, is it across 2 floors? Cos family houses with such are generally priced less as many households with young kids would want the living quarters on one floor for practical reasons. Also, many built that way (i.e 'town houses') tend to be quite narrow of late. That the 3-bed detached seems to be more sought after already tells you something. I was in a fairly similar dilemma when I bought (with the 4-bed semi being upto 20k cheaper) but was also advised against a semi. Some colleagues in semis have had issues with neighbours especially when you have young kids playing around or neighbours smoking hemp. For one, the only thing he regrets in his house is that it's not detached. Sound insulation between modern semis tend to be good, but even at that, vibration still travels thru. Finishings are great but they are fixable and come in and out of vougue. There are parts of a house you can't change- in this case detached or semi. Also having a garage with parking for 2 cars would always carry a prenium especially if sited next to the house. Lastly, you need to factor in your family size and plans ahead. With 3 kids, if you're the type that has family/friends over often, the added space is needed. For me and with limited details given, I'd largely tilt towards the detached. |
How are these figures populated? The numbers there dont make sense Of late we havd had a flurry of such 'statistical' posts here with very few asking how these numbers come about, what methodology is used and how dependable the figures are |
The UK launched negotiations for a free trade agreement with India, which is seen as one of the biggest prizes of Brexit, in January 2022. Successive Conservative governments sought to strike a quick deal with no success. It remains to be seen what the final deal would be. However, kudos to India for holding strong on this. Hopefully, 9ja could learn. If the UK wants good market access to a nation of 1.4 billion (and growing) with a consistent gdp growth rate of over 7%, then we'd need to offer good incentives in return.

Interesting data on tax bands. By percentage of total income paid in taxes, the UK is still relatively good for lower income earners especially when compared with other western nations. That said, total earnings are another thing

Goke7:The ultimate takehome for peace loving folks like me (who have been told not to upset the west) is that we don't know which west to appease- is the one led by Trump or is it the CANZUK west or is it the European west? Eitherway, I wish them luck. Everbody receiving wotoporiously and being afraid to upset the master. Just imagine if China did half of this |
Been following house prices for sometime as I'm in the middle of conveyancing and noticed good price drops across board in March - wasn't surprised to come across this article. Half a percent is a sizeable drop for a single month. Also noticed most houses that had a nice drop to become reasonably priced had a sale agreed (STC) quite quickly. It appears folks were on the sidelines waiting to take advantage. Going forward, the stock market shenanigans is likely to dampen prices for a bit longer With interest rates dropping, it might be a good year for those seeking to buy
|
Think9ja:You reek of inferiority complex. Black folks who think like you would always scrape the bottom wherever they are. |
Goke7:Hehe.. Mk I go find that video watch. Saw the headline (and picture of a shocked reporter) among all of Trumps doings but not watched it. Interesting times- it appears the hegemony of the one united west against the global south is under threat. I'd expect China to become more aggressive when making inroads and offering deals in the coming years. I'm encountering interesting conversations these days. Is speaking against America's current economic policy antagonising the west? Should we all chorus the current U.S govts propaganda as we are now in the west? |
