Politics › Re: Greed And The Igbo Man: The Prospect Of Life In An Independent Biafra by Laird(m): 4:10pm On Jan 26, 2017
I am.Igbo.....the guy is saying the truth



Most( not All) igbos are greedy, exploitative and self - centred....( My opinion and I am entitled to it)

Money making must be balanced with integrity, conscience, human sympathy, human compassion and human fairness

A get rich at any body's expenses does no good.
Many Igbo's can insult You and even deny You after You stuck out your neck for them.

But the Igbo's that did not grow up.in the East but grew up in Lagos, the North and in Yoruba land has less of this characteristics....... Am one of them



If anyone insults me for my opinion on this thread, I would return a nuclear bump for a pistol shot so just read and move on....No time.......

CanadianNurse:
Can u please post a link on the currency thread you mentioned thanks
@Canadian Nurse, this is the link of the most trusted e-currency dealer on nairaland...his name is tabbaz and he also has a thread where he posts and reports and exposes people caught trying to dupe other people

https://www.nairaland.com/3190496/currency-e-currency-market-deals/1255#53049559



I have no connection and no business relationship and I have no financial and no material benefits from Him and he doe snot even know me and i have never done a business transaction with him


But his good works exposing fraudsters in his posts, helping people by being the middleman (escrow services) because his nairaland profile is well known


and he also trades bitcoins, payoneer and maybe some other e-currencies



your best option to transfer money to Nigeria might be to buy bitcoin or an e-currency overseas and to sell to a trusted nairaland e-currency exchanger maybe tabbaz or ladyF online while they credit your nigerian accounts in naira



HOWEVER read through their respective profiles and their contacts on their profiles, also read posts and mentions about both tabbaz and ladyF and then DECIDE ON YOUR OWN FREE WILL IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT THEM VIA THEIR PROFILE CONTACT NUMBERS AND DISCUSS OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR EXCHANGING YOUR FUNDS TO Naira



i have no financial stake, commission or kickback from any of the people I mentioned in this post. Do Your research on their I.D profiles, posts, mentions and comments and decide and choose personally if You want to transact business with them

Am planning on doing my masters over there, i studied accounting bro. how possible for my course, with what you typed above.
Sorry for the late reply. Science majors have priority and focus and opportunities to get jobs than commerce courses.

Thats why a lot of Nigerians go to study or switch course to study nursing in the United States.




I dont have any information on opportunities available for non science courses. Sorry for the late reply

Travel › Re: What Happens When You Declare Your Currency At The Airport?????????????????????? by Laird(m):
Ask one of the accredited changers on the currency thread for transacting options



Better still look for car dealers, contact abokis or ask someone in Nigeria to contact all those Alade, airport currency aboki, or Importers and do direct trade with them carefully


Or companies like shopify and mall for africa that help Nigerians buy things abroad.... They should need dollars and should have naira to xchange

You meet their link abroad..They meet your link in Naija

Also ask a kind of honest Nairaland currency exchange Member Tabbaz....He can advice YOU


Choose one or more of the many options

I have no personal. commercial or business relationship with Tabbaz. I am Just trying to help You with information because I have met You before and we were cool




Good to know You are good

Don't pay any money for music artiste audition, record label deal, modelling, acting deal, audition, contract, they are mostly frauds who want to cheat You of Your money
Music/Radio › Re: = Lets Have Your Complaints And Suggestions Here = by Laird(m):
I am a Medical doctor and artiste

AUDITION FRAUD/ SCAM

People post about wanting to sign artistes and then when the artistes call; The artistes are asked to pay money for audition



One repeat fraud check my last posts has on more on than one post requested to sign artistes


After contacting the poster and free styling over the phone ;
And he was very impressed

I was told to pay 10 thousand naira for an audition form to a Bank account and then come for an audition; same request happened last year


I refused and asked WHy a record label should ask Me to.pay 10 ten thousand naira for an audition



I called some days later and was told 15 artistes are auditioning that day that's 150 thousand for the scammers


In a month of 24 working days that's over 3.6 million Audition fees generated from music singers and artistes looking for a record label deal contract but instead being exploited and duped by greedy fraudsters



In a year that's over 40/million naira from fake audition fees collected from desperate music singers and music artistes by the fake audition fraudsters





Solution;


Moderators should put a header topic on All fashion, Music, movie, Celebrity. Sections from the differetn moderators of those threads titled


Titled;
Do not pay money to anyone or any organisation for a movie, music or modelling or fashion; job, competition, offer, deal, signing, offer, endorsement contract


Moderators and @seun please take note of this my suggestion and please execute on the the mentioned threads to prevent fraudsters, crooks and scammers from defrauding and duping people.




The topic should always be the first THREAD on every section of music, movies, fashion, celebrities/thank You

Europeans are law abiding... if your friend was legal and not being a nuisance, no one would have deported him. Its not about racism, its about Nigerians ruining every country that makes the mistake of letting them in.
Your point noted but one persons bias can affect another person with similar features. I have also read in an international news platform about some anti-foreigner protests in Switzerland



Besides Switzerland is expensive......

Business › Re: If KFC, Subway Are All In Africa, How Come Mcdonalds Ain't Here Yet ? by Laird(m):
I heard McDonalds Nigerian franchise rights has been bought some years back.

Option 1
McDonalds may not operate in Nigeria I think because McDonald's business model is different and based on McDonalds Inc head quarters owning the Land on which each McDonald's Eatery worldwide is sited.

This might investors uneasy because of Nigerian's Government Land Use act which does not enable You own land but only lease it for 99 years from the government and an individual's land can be collected at will and by choice of the state governor or president or federal government in the name of over riding government interest and compensation for the land may be paid which may be below landowner's perceived land marketvalue, compensation for the land might not be paid to the land owner or the landowner's money diverted, shortchanged or cut or split before it get's to the landowner, and some landowners may have economic,emotional and sentimental value to their land and would not like the fact that their land can be taken by a government official in the name of government use at will

Also some government officials use and hide under the land use act in Nigeria to forcibly take and steal other people's land

Secondly the fluctuating Real Estate Bubble and speculativel land and property appreciation without a low interest generally available mortgage system and low middle class purchasing power will affirm the Belief that Nigerian real estate land and property appreciates not because of a booming economy or a buoyant middle-class but because Nigerian Elite, Government officials, Business people, Contractors,Nigerians abroad, Fraudsters don't have so much options to store and invest their legal or illegal money since there is little economic activity in Nigeria so real estate offers one of the few only available money parking investment options in Nigeria

Which is the reason for many estates in Lagos and abuja

And the risk of a real estate economic bubble prize crash if a perceived Real Estate ponzi Chain falls under its own weight because of the continuous land speculation



So McDonalds headquarters would not find their real estate ownership business plan suitable in Nigeria because of the Land use act which government officials can use to collect Your land and secondly the speculative hyper inflative real estate price bubble in Nigeria fueled and caused by little available investment options for legal and illegal money in the possesssion by government officials, politicians, contractors, government jobbers, businesspeople, corporate executives, managers, Nigerians abroad


And no real economic activity, no real working middle class, no readily available low Interest house loans to the masses


Just a way of parking idle or fraudulently obtained money abd even honest money and the Scheme can collapse anytime in the e future



McDonald's investors see this.....that high property prices in Nigeria is a mirage and when the wind blows, prices can crash

- Option Two
could be a government restriction to help indigenous fastfood companies to grow because McDonald's worldwide fame will eclipse and overshadow most other indigenous fast food companies and McDonalds will generate so much cash at the expense of local fast foods

You can't open up your major economic cashcows to foreign interests who may take so much money out of Your Country


Option 3
could be The McDonald's franchise cost and requirements may be too high or too demanding or too risky for a Nigerian investor to speculate or attempt establishing a McDonalds franchise in Nigeria

Madam money has no mood swings, does not make you unhappy, takes care of Your needs, solves your problems,

Emotions do not pay school fees, emotions do not buy children's books, emotions do not buy drug medication, no hospital asks You to settle Your bill with emotions

Ask him diplomatically and tactifully to provide You a source of income in the village before moving to the village.
If not, please calmly, kindly peacefully keep making Your Legit Money. Softly spoken
