Webmasters › Re: I Have Been Approached To Create A Ponzi Scheme Website by jpphilips(m): 5:36pm On Feb 17, 2017 |
MasterJayJay: It seems the newest online stuff in Nigeria is ponzi websites. Everyday a new ponzi scheme website is lanched in Nigeria with the aim of scamming gullible Nigerians.
Recently, a secondary schoolmate of mine told me about some guys that want me to create such website for them. They are ready to pay me heavily. Though I am very broke, I rejected the offer and bluntly to him I can't take the offer.
I haven't made it as webdesigner. I did not even get any webdesign job throughout last year till this moment. Some people that want me to design a website for their school, business will collect my contact and I will never hear from them again. I am not a pro(can't code from scratch),but with paid softwares that are available online I am up to the task.
Just this morning, I signed in to my facebook account and saw another person making an inquiry on ponzi scheme. I uploaded the screenshot of my chat with him.
Though hunger is beating me here seriously, I refused to be tempted to help criminals scam Nigerians. Going by your spiritual logic, criminals do not deserve their day in court because the defence counsel is trying to save a criminal, you must draw a line between the tenets of your profession and your moral obligation, you are dumber than the would be victims of your client. MHO though |

chinnyonwu: Hi bro/house., i visited 2 of my Banks yesterday. I told the guy i met at Keystone i wanted to buy some TBills going with the banks rates, The agent said They dont bid at all, that i should just submit my rate and they would send to CBN. And that i couldn't be sure of what i was saying about the rates being 13-17%. He offered to help me fix my money at 9% interest rate. Unsatisfied i left to another bank. At Ecobank, they said i cant buy TBills of 500k - 1m I specified. That its usually 10m and above. That i can fix the money with them instead. My question is, is it me or that these customers care agents don't know what they are saying? Though you can do a 1m TBN, they are only encouraging you to do FixD so the money will buy them TBN, stop using banks go to investment homes, that is basically their core business, TBN is like a conflict of interest for commercial banks, their staff are trained to address it that way, you may try commercial papers too if you wish. |

while 20 million with generate 1.4 m max as rent that total of 5.6 m by jan 2019 your property has appreciated by 30 percent total is 31.6 m subject to finding a buyer for the house with recession is very difficult ,rent default,rent instalmental payment .absent of tenants,renovation cost ,ground rate the are odds while you can buy a land and it wouldnt increase in value if govertment dont build road etc that the odds that so we call it speculative Landed properties do not appreciate in recession rather it depreciates, Nigerians don't really understand the economic indices of recession. You may risk increasing rent no doubt, conversely, you risk fallow houses. to strike a balance, the rent does not usually increase in recession. |

SalamRushdie: The Discos have made it corrupt habit to make sure the reject more than half the electricity the gencos send to them under the dubious auspice that thier customers are other paying for it , what this means is that the Discos get to make free money since 80 percent of their subscribers don't have prepaid metres and billed by estimation ..In essence the discos have found out they can sell darkness to there consumer so why bother taking up electricity from the gencos. That explains why most Gencos operate below capacity, the Disco accuse TCN of not having the requisite infrastructure to distribute, in truth they are rejecting their allocations because we are happy to pay for darkness. |

If you care to know, these loans are tied to a project that will never develop third-world's economy! That's what they do so that you'll keep coming. The last time I wrote something on it, it was deleted on twitter by the developed economy cos now they know few people are wise. Whatever happened to Power? Mines and Steel? Revamping the education sector to meet with 21st century need? Will the rail project be given to indigenous companies? Very soon, Sarathief will come online to campaign for "buy naija to grow the naira"
Our acclaimed leaders will get loans from them, award the contracts to them with a promise to get 10% from the awarded contracts and when they are about repatriating the fund, it'll go along with their 10% in an account the multinationals opened in their name in their country. How will they ever want our indigenous companies to grow and some bastards will still come here to sing their praises!
Explain how you'll use such project to revive a recessed economy?
https://www.nairaland.com/3624014/very-clean-tokunbo-toyota-corolla#3624014.4 The chinese Exim bank is not a charity organisation but a financial lender competing with the World bank and the IMF, the chinese give you loans at single digit interest rate but the materials and contract will be awarded to a Chinese company, those are the terms, if you don't like it, why not try World bank and IMF where you are supposed to have a programme like NEEDS before you get a kobo from them. I don't like the Chinese terms either because it does very little to alleviate our GDP crisis, but the big question is; what choice do we have? You know if IMF were to give you any form of assistance you must remove all your subsidies including the 5k and the school children feeding right?

Humansarefree reports:
The Fed and the IRS
Virtually unknown to the general public is the fact that the US Federal Reserve is a privately owned company, siting on its very own patch of land, immune to the US laws.
image-67
This privately owned company (controlled by the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and Morgans) prints the money FOR the US Government, which pays them interest for the “favor.” This means that if we would reset the nation’s debt today and would begin reprinting money, we would be in debt to the FED from the very first dollar loaned to our Government.
Also, most people living in the USA have no clue that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a foreign agency.
To be more accurate, the IRS is a foreign private corporation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and is the private “army” of the Federal Reserve (Fed).
Its main goal is to make sure the American people pay their tax and be good little slaves.
In 1835, US President Andrew Jackson declared his disdain for the international bankers:
“You are a den of vipers. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning.”
There followed an (unsuccessful) assassination attempt on President Jackson’s life. Jackson had told his vice president, Martin Van Buren:
“The bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me.“
This was the beginning of a pattern of intrigue that would plague the White House itself over the coming decades. Both Lincoln and JFK have been murdered for trying to rid the country of banksters.
The world’s Megabanks
There are two Megabanks that offer loans to all the countries around the planet, the World Bank and the IMF. The first one is jointly owned by the world’s top banking families, with the Rothschilds at the very top, while the second one is privately owned by the Rothschilds alone.
These two Megabanks offer loans to “developing countries” and use their almost impossible-to-pay-back interests to get their hands on the real wealth: land and precious metals.
But that’s not all! An important part of their plan is to also exploit a country’s natural resources (like petrol or gas) via their covertly-owned companies, refine them, and sell them back to the same country, making a huge profit.
But in order for these companies to operate optimally, they need a solid infrastructure, which is usually lacking in the so called “developing countries.” So before the banksters even offer the almost impossible-to-pay-back loans, they make sure that most of the money will be invested in — you’ve guessed it — infrastructure.
These “negotiations” are carried out by the so called “Economic Hitmen”, who succeed by handsomely rewarding (i.e. bribing) or threatening with death those who are in the position to sell away their country.
For more information on the subject, I suggest reading the Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
The one bank that rules them all, the “Bank for International Settlement,” is — obviously — controlled by the Rothschilds and it is nicknamed the “Tower of Basel.”
The true power of the Rothschilds goes FAR beyond the Banking Empire
If you are not yet amazed by the power of the Rothschilds (I know you are), please know that they are also behind all wars since Napoleon. That’s when they’ve discovered just how profitable it is to finance both sides of a war and they’ve been doing it ever since.
In 1849, Guttle Schnapper, the wife of Mayer Amschel stated:
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.”
So, the world is still at war because it is very, very profitable to the Rothschilds and their parasite bankster bloodlines. And for as long as we will continue to use money, the world will never know peace.
It is shocking for many to find out that the United States of America is a corporation ruled from abroad. Its original name was the Virginia Company and it was owned by the British Crown (it should not be mistaken for the Queen, which functions largely in a ceremonial capacity only).
The British Crown donated the company to the Vatican, which gave the exploitation rights back to the Crown. The US Presidents are appointed CEOs and their business is to make money for the British Crown and the Vatican, who take their share of the profits every year.
The British Crown covertly rules the world from the 677-acre, independent sovereign state, know as The City of London. This other Crown is comprised of a committee of 12 banks headed by the Bank of England. Guess who is controlling the Bank of England? Yup, the Rothschilds!
In 1815, Nathan Mayer made the following statement:
“I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.”
The House of Rothschild is really at the top of the pyramid of power. They are behind the New World Order and the complete domination of the world agenda. They are behind the European Union and the Euro and they are behind the idea of a North American Union and the Amero. They are controlling all of the world’s secret services and their private army is NATO. Roadside analysis, Rothchild has huge stakes in the global financial sectors but owning them is a different kettle of Fish. |
Politics › Re: Who Has Ever Seen The Nigerian Declaration Of Independence? by jpphilips(m): 9:17am On Feb 10, 2017 |
naptu2: 1) Personally I believe it's because it's not that important. In politics and administration there's something called "the ecology of politics". What this basically means is that before implementing any policy or programme, you have to look at the context of the particular place. That determines if the policy or programme is workable. What worked somewhere else might not work in the particular place that you want to implement it.
In this particular case, the declaration of independence is not as important to Nigerians as the 1957 and '58 constitutional conferences and the 1960 and 1963 constitutions. These were the means by which nigerians decided how they wanted to live after independence and these were the means by which they exerted their independence. Remember that the conferences and the 1960 constitution were in place before the declaration was signed. This is very different from the situation in the US where the declaration of independence was the first means by which the 13 colonies could independently decide how they wanted to live.
So, for example, the US declaration of independence was an agreement between the 13 colonies. No representative of the British Government signed it. The nigerian declaration of independence was signed by Princess Alexandria on behalf of Great Britain and Tafawa Balewa on behalf of Nigeria. Now the 1957 and '58 constitutional conferences resulted in agreements between the three regions (each region sent 10 delegates and five advisers. The composition of the delegations reflected the ethnic groups in each region), the Federal Nigerian Government (Balewa and his ministers) and the British Government.
2) General Nigerian incompetence and laxity.
There are tons of important nigerian historical materials that are not on the internet and are difficult to find. That's one of the problems I have on nairaland, because there are a lot of things I've seen in the past that are not on line (to young people today, if something is not online = it doesn't exist). A few days ago I was telling a nairalander how a lot of videos about Nigeria's history have been wiped off by officials at the NTA.
I'll give you another example. I personally saw President Babangida sign the order to move the Federal Government from Lagos to Abuja in 1990. He signed it with a golden pen and gave everybody present gifts of golden pens. Good luck finding that document. I've even read seasoned internet historians say that there were no ceremonies to mark the movement of the capital (they say that Babangida fled Lagos in a hurry and without ceremony because of the SAP riots and Orkar Coup). I watched those ceremonies and attended some of them (the carnival on Catholic Mission Street, the commissioning of 3rd Mainland Bridge, the tree planting ceremony at City Hall, the state banquet at City Hall, the signing ceremony at Dodan Barracks, the flight around Lagos, etc). Good luck finding videos and pictures of those events. Nigeria does not have or need a declaration of independence so the OP needs to put things in the right perspective, what Nigeria has is a "Freedom Charter" handed to the first speaker Jaja Wachuku, my best guess is that the document may be in the Archives of the National assembly, someone once told me it was framed at the lobby of the former Assembly complex in Lagos. parliamentarians of the first republic will be in the best position to answer that question. Cameroon for example does not have neither freedom Charter nor DI but the "Pacte coloniale" agreement, so it depends on the circumstances that led to your freedom and the terms of your freedom.
