Quite an Achievement , Kudos ......

Interested Pm me for more information Rufus.

buhahha some people are funny sha. Dont tell me you are taking that post too seriously. Nigeria is not that bad. They are talking about Banks in general in Nigeria i suppose.

I speak hausa fluently and I can write perfectly too. But google must pay . yeye people

Metrosexual? I am sort of one?

The site meets upto its propose "a web-design site", but have you taught of having another version , i mean plain html, for customers that dont have the luxury of fast connection. You want them to get the service right away, not wait for it

hack credit cards

well most online stores divert credit card transactions to another third party for processing, using SSL technology(for encrypted diversion) and some APIS (to connect to the processing gateway).

Ip restriction wont work if you have customers from the same internet cafe. But there is a trick i recently discover arround it. Using unique extra code under same ips, so you can actually monitor, a bit complex so i can't go through it here.

mini maini mini mo. I prefer http://www.sleek-ng.com/. but still I think it needs more touches here and there.

Solve the basic water supplies and electricity problem for once, and Nigerians would be happy.

Chai he try to correct and he blow grammar. You know what concorde is in english grammar? Now don't tell me it is supposed to be concorde are

IAH:
More Nigerians will soon move to selling things online. It might become hot-cake too. Especially for Nigerians living abroad. You know, Nigerians like Janded things, your site might be their one-stop shop to pick up their designer wears and the assurance is there that it's straight from Jand/Yankee.
We can even have our own indigenous bidding site, Nigeria-ebay in the future.(dreams. hehehehe, na thieves go full the site)

What about mobile-phone content provider? I don't really know about this one but it's really HOT here.

Well online solutions to Nigerians, especially when it comes to online retail outlets would take a really long time before it becomes a place of abode. People have to fill their belly first (affects consistent sales). Poverty, E-literacy and Unemployment state of Nigeria wouldnt let that happen currently, but maybe in the future.

Mobile content providing, is a hot cake, here too. But in Nigeria, the providers make it so hard with their policies to implement a solution. Their charges is way too much....... Besides what would you be providing on the low scale angle? Ringtones, wall papers, and games?? hmm I dont see, Nigerians spending money changing ringtones regularly. Besides even downloading java games and changing them once they get tired of it.

The future is the future. You can only predict, and it might be wrong. thats just the way I see it.

just curious. have you heared a typical british farmer or villager, speak the cockny or whatever they call it? forgotten the exact spelling. It is english but more or less I would say pidgin. Anywayz i guess you would appreciate it , if you hear it.

You see this is exactly the problem with many Nigerians. When you are struggling at the beginning from the graces, they don't see anything. Once you become succesfull, then they would start saying all sorts of things. Did Aliko start with the millions? No he started and grew with time.

Therefore all that you have said doesnt come up at all. If he had ventured into trying his hands on anything and he has given it the input, dedication and consistency he has given to all his businesses, you would say the same thing today. Just that now he has his millions. Doesnt make him disabled or lazy.

Let me just give all of you the secret, to get a million dollar takes a century, but once u get that million dollars you can duplicate it in 24 hours, thats the secret of riches. its hard to create but easy, to duplicate. I guess a lot don't know that.

buhahha this people sef.

hahha nice one. And that was preety fast. Are you a robot?

Well Angel from heaven, have you heared The Earth Angel? She wants to compete o. . Well Sure you would be in my list

You see when it comes to "Cyber Syndicates" as you call them, it is really hard to tell, except people start reporting who is who. If you understand what I mean. A law official can't just walk into the cafe and halting everybody and checking. It has to start from the Cafe owners, most of them know these guys.

goals in life?

To become a millionaire (in USD) by 26. And Financially free at the age of 30, then retire with marriage.

This does not fail to amaze me .

EzehM you run a blog?

Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Sunday Ehindero, yesterday said over 40,000 Nigerian Passports, including official ones, were recovered during the recent raid on Oluwole, a notorious area in Lagos Island noted for document forgery and counterfeiting.


The IGP, who made the disclosure while briefing the press in Lagos said 1,500 foreign passports, including those of Libya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Congo, Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Senegal, Switzer-land., the Gambia, South Africa, United States, Jamaica, Costa Rica and Ghana were recovered. Also recovered from the raid were about 50,000 assorted foreign cheques and over 500 printing plates.

Other seizures made, according to Ehindero, include over 500 computers, about 10, 000 blank British Airways tickets, about 10, 000 United States Postal Money Order and blank certificates of occupancy.

The IGP said 115 suspects were arrested. Seventy-seven of the suspects, he said, were later set free for lack of sufficient evidence to warrant their detention.

Ehindero said the police, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the State Security Services (SSS) combined to conduct the Oluwole raid aimed at dismantling the notorious criminal black spot, where all forms of stolen and forged documents were openly traded in Central Lagos.

This is just an excerpt of the news. I am just too shocked, that even I am out of comments.

hmm none of the "Its going to be feasible guys" could really hit at it badly afterall.

Well ok today I decided to tackle it myself. First of all Vending Machines are normally targetted to areas where there is the least amount of shops for that specific product besides the large consistent patronage for that specific product, it might be drinks, snacks or even condoms.

Now in Nigeria, if I must implement it. All I have to do is target areas, that do not have problems with stable electricity Supply. The places I am going to mention have generators used consistently. And at the same time, has the potential of getting people to patronise it. Now where would that place be? A place like a golf course (for drinks), A high class sport club (for drinks), A condominium (For condoms and maybe drinks plus snacks), and not forgetting International schools especially places like BITS, Lasore etc (For Snack and Drinks). You don't find Vending machines in bank locations overseas.(Not here in malaysia atleast). Have you wondered why?


Now the price-tags of the products in this areas would be very competitive. To have a high patronage, Rich people in Nigeria, love expensive sophisticated stuff, and thus that would apply in such areas. Besides that, the vending machine would be accepting Nigerian brand new or well maintained currency notes. That shouldnt be a problem in that area too.


Battery wouldnt work efficiently because it would need re-charging, regular maintainance, and possible replacements after a year or so,because of the high usage. I am still wondering what kind of batteries would do the trick. How efficient are your rechargeable lanterns ? What is their batteries lifespan? Even though you only light them up at night? In a scenario where electricity supply goes down for 1 week, what happens?

You dont need armoured guards, to guard the vending machines, all you need is mature, responsible and comfortable or maybe rich people, to be the ones in access to such a service. I am not being discriminative here, this is just the way I see it.

The rest is just marketing to those, that might patronise the products in that area, using flyers etc. I guess thats all for now.

hmm some forex guy or should I say Get Rich Quick Scheme Guy? , Dont mind me jare. Anywayz welcome to Nairaland, you are always welcome in the Business thread.

Can you have access to that domain in question for transfers? Have you tried contacting Registerfly?

Yes. Its deep within me. Self , do you guys call it gratification or is it satisfaction? Anywayz you guys understood what I was trying to say. Yes I can.

hehehe chill Seun

Well as far as I know. Nigeria is not highely rated as a country that really deals in piracy. Visit some P2p networks especially Torrent related ones or even some countries in Asia, and you would understand what I mean.

man you are cracking me up. Are you saying that Omisore or whoever would be present at the scene? even though lets say they are involved?

Bola Ige's case? common don't tell me you dont know what is happening . I mean are you really in Nigeria?

nice post. Thumbs up.

And let me add to it. It would reduce online frauds, because, we would be able to add concepts of using your id to sign up for service. But the thing is the government has profitted too much from the card project. If you understand what I mean.

hmm my account is still intact. Sorry guys i think they dont want Nigerian customers.
