Elai147: @Tassembly thanks for the info.

The thing is, First bank sells to you from their holdings. This is the reason why they can perform roll over of your investment for you even on a non-auction day and also the reason why they don't allow you to specify bid rate. Meanwhile, if you go with their bid rate, you are most likely going to be successful because they will give you at a reduced rate (lower than the stop rate) and of course, lower than the bid price at which they bought from the auction market... This is my opinion.

What makes your bid to be unsuccessful is when you bid too high (higher than CBN stop rate).

fsb: I don tire for GTB. I left my town to travel to another town to find out about how they can buy treasury bills on my behalf from the primary market and after spending about 1 hour being tossed up and down the guy I meet tells me they have not done any treasury bills transactions recently so he doesn't know much about it but that it is common in lagos.

Which kain thing be this?

Elai147: Yes First bank will accept 250k. I do not use FCMB. For First bank, the only disadvantage is that they only offer 91 days T-bills and usually debit your account with the face value of the bill which means you will have to wait for them to credit you with the interest after the purchase. Also, I don't think you can specify your preferred bid rate with First bank (they give you at their best market bidding rate). So you may want to check with FCMB and if they don't have these disadvantages then you can go with FCMB.

ACM10: Why not castrate them because they are poor? Your post reeks of arrogance. Someone who had a humble beginning will not make this comment. For God's sake, those people are not poor by their own design. Failure of the government to perform its most basic functions condemned those people to the life of poverty and misery. The fact that they are poor do not mean that you should deny them their freedom to make choice. I don't share your view brother. You have no right to pokenose into the affairs of two consenting adults.

Eeja Nla01: Nice1 from the oP,

And our ladies should not misunderstand the op,

Struggle and motivate dat guy that has ambition yes struggle together

our women are ambitious, that will not fly with them, a gal earning 100k would not date a guy earning 150k and hope for the best especially when she is younger, for where?

at 24 earning 100k, she will be dating a married man to make up for her excesses and perhaps get a better position at work, when she is 30yrs, she wants to hook you by all means thinking you were growing stuupiid all these years.

that is the world we live in, even secondary school gals are aspiring to date working class guys, undergraduates - working class, corpers - working class, job seeker - working class, nothing for student, well
Op said the students dont need it, well, i am forced to agreee ooooo.
where will the student get the money to maintain those leeches whose needs are bigger dan the Nigerian parliament?

my only vex are the working class mid twenty gals dating married men, what are they thinking??

Orikinla: If you don't like this post, that is your headache and heartache.

What I hate most is to see boys who cannot even feed themselves looking for relationships with girls.
They are in fact, the most sexually active in Africa.
You see jobless guys who should focus on being creative and innovative like their mates in America, Europe and Asia, but their best pursuits are looking for girls to date and they cannot offer these impressionable and vulnerable young women nothing more than S*E*X. And that is why the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, NACA, reported that 3.4 million Nigerians were living with HIV/AIDS, the second largest globally.

Later you see them and their ill bred kids and suffering and smiling baby mamas increasing the population of the poor masses in the slums where they breed anti-social characters, robbers and other criminals who become socioeconomic liabilities and threats to the society.

You want a girl to be your honey, but you don't have money.
You better go and get busy first to add value to your life and stop being a romantic nuisance.

Only a re-tarded girl will date any empty suit.

ROMANCE WITHOUT FINANCE IS NOTHING BUT A NUISANCE.

ocelot2006: True, Morsi was democratically elected to serve his nation. But he abused his powers and the Trust of his people by trying to assign absolute powers to himself and imposing Islamic laws on a country made up not only of Muslims but also coptic Christians. And don't forget that his performance was equally abysmal. Basically, he answered only to the Muslim brotherhood, not the people of Egypt. and that's why they took to the street.

I couldn't have put things in a more correct perspective and the debate is not about Morsi bringing in Muslim Brotherhood members into government cabinet, that shouldn't be a debate! that should be expected. The majority of the people of Egypt voted for the Muslim Brotherhood. Even if you didn't like that, the majority wanted that; and the point is that the opinion of majority should be respected.
I don't know what you classify as Islamic radicals, or whose classification you are using or what evidence you have to classify a particular person as a radical. Let us not pretend Islamic Brotherhood is not ready to accommodate Israel the way Mubarak did, Mubarak and the Army didn't do it out of good will but for the 1.2billion USD to got annually, and the Islamic brotherhood's stance against Israel isn't by any standard unreasonable, if you call them radicals for that ... I don't know.

I really do not understand the point of this statement above, are you saying Egypt's cabinet needs to be ratified by US or what The Muslism Brotherhood exists in the US, in fact Morsi joined the Muslim brotherhood during his study in the US.In fact it is deceitful to just use the word "radical" in this context, because all that one needs to tagged a radical by USA is just to disagree with the "right of Israel to exist in the land of Palestine".

As for the economic situation, it wasn't peculiar to Egypt, it is the same problem in Tunisia, Libya, even in Southern Sudan When there is a drastic change in government, the economy stutters before recovering; and my argument is if
giving a 48hrs ultimatum to get protesters out of the street was just, and the best thing the military could have done

JaaizTech: In as much as you have many valid points but assuming that Morsi will turn Egypt to terrorist state is not only fallacious but unfair. What is the basis for this assumption A section of the people of Egypt, rose against Morsi primarily for two reasons:
1) He gave himself sweeping powers, somewhat like a dictator (His reasons, to strengthen his govt. against the remnants of Mubarak's loyalists, whom are still very strong and active)

2) The Economy was not doing not well.

The issue with Morsi was hardly about islamization of Egypt.

In 22nd November Morsi granted himself unlimited powers to "protect" the nation from the Mubarak-era power structure which remained in place and the power to legislate without judicial oversight or review of his acts, Protests broke out around Egypt in disagreement and on 8 December 2012, Morsi annulled this decree.

On 30 June 2013, mass protests erupted across Egypt calling for the President's resignation, following severe fuel shortages and electricity outages. This was followed by the army's threat that if the protesters' demands were not met by 3 July it would step in and build a road map for the country.

This is the summary of what happened in Egypt, It is quite unfortunate that in an attempt to legitimise the illegal overthrow of Morsi, many have attempted to accuse him of forcefully Islamising Egypt, which wasn't even the focus of the issue. The same tactic was used to overthrow Gaddafi, whom was an arch-enemy of the so called terrorist. In fact once the west does not feel comfortable with a middle-east govt., they simply tagged them with terrorism.

So the question that should be answered is if it was right to give Morsi 48 hrs to meet the demand of Opposition protesters, whom were bent on exploiting the avenue to get him out of power.

Lastly, let me say the word Islamization does not connote terrorism, havig a shariah inspired constitution implies that policies would not violate the Islamic Shariah, and in an Egypt with 90% Muslims, that wouldn't be an injustice, if they wanted it: Policies that may be affected include:

i) Banking (Only Non-Interest banking will be allowed)
ii)Sale / Manufacture of Alcohol may be banned
etc.

UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia are all countries that have shariah inspired constitution, and they are doing well.

Maged Melio: T Bills are guaranteed interest financial instrument even if it may have lower return than stokes in the Stock Market.

Good idea for some financial institutions is to issue instruments with nominal value, that combines stocks, bonds, and t Bills.
That's will achieve more revenue for the institutions and trader as well.

olushowunm: Haulage business if for the strongest of men... If you don't want to die before your time, stay away from haulage... Its always good on paper, but in reality its hell...
If you have your driver load now and going to kano from lagos, if after 10hrs, you call your driver to know where he is... you be given falsehope, he might still be in Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, but he will tell you Jebba... Its an industry where lies are permitted and its very trecherous...
For ideas, i think you don't have the fund to give, just sampling ideas from Nairalanders and make something out of it...

jam04: I will invest in this: www.nairaland.com/1173518/investors-needed-dump-trucks-haulage

ooseven: If I give it to you, what would you invest in...in Nigeria?

State creative ways to ensure you (or your partners) stick to contract terms.

How long before you break even ceteris paribus.

1forall: Oh well since you don't consider this topic worth discussing what are you doing here? Or are you confused?

I suggest you get off this thread so as to satisfy your over-sized estimation of your self - it's not worth your effort anyway.

Thank you.

yame014: If you had read between lines, you would have noticed me referring to a 3rd person. why use d 2nd person pronoun in ur quote?
Btw, who told you d person in question lack basic computer skills?
what made u think he never acquired any form of skills? (just to sponsor himself through sch)
where did you get ur statistics that "60% of Nigerian graduates don't know how to use computer?" -geez did they use typewriter for their projects?
What are you trying to insinuate?-that those that went to sch lately are dullards or they shudn't have gone to sch at all?
FYI this is Nigeria, where people discrimate once u r not learned...
