Business › Re: How Much Do POS Operators Charge In Your Vicinity? by Learner247(m): 9:17am On Feb 06, 2023
Thinkam:
Still 100 Naira to withdraw ten thousand (10k) , I don't know why some people are wailing about this Naira redesign.

I'm currently in the most rural part of Kebbi state and every store accept transfer, I paid for a loaf kainuwa bread which is 350 naira with transfer this morning, using my Opay app.

Nigerians wailing about this are those that want to make it hard for themselves.

I haven't held more than 3k cash since this whole design issue, my card and transfer, accepted, kebbi and sokoto state.

So I wonder why those in the so called educated area's are finding it difficult to adjust.
Somethings are not that simple.

There are so many people who earn a living by hawking in traffic. Many of these group of people may have families as well. How do they earn a living without cash?

Many are arguing that the news of currency redesign had been out since October 26th, 2022. That may be correct, but when did the new notes came into circulation? Dec. 15th, 2022. Then the banks continued to issue the old notes because many of them claimed they didn't have the new notes.

The truth is that it is bad to make your good intention or did look bad. The move would have been great to cut inflation and reduce vote buying, but voters even need to survive until the election days.

Oh my! Nigerians are just the best! I see guys already asking how much they can earn, how much it would cost to study there etc.

The day Nigeria's leadership problems become addressed, I am sure Nigeria will effectively compete with the 1st World countries in 25 years!

- Starting all over
- Racism. How free can I ever be in a place that is not mine or at best where can only become mine based on a few pieces of paper they give to me. Anytime things don't go the way the indigenes want it, they tag me Nigerian born.....
- Cold
- Fear of not being able to be hard on my children when I am supposed to be. I mean, the concept of "no right or wrong" doesn't cut it for me.

@DigitalMallam and @Yungestmoney, if you bought through your stockbroker, you will see it in your portfolio.

I didn't get any email, I just saw it alongside my stocks in my Portfolio. Meanwhile, I got 100% allocation, perhaps because mine was just a modest sum.

Even when you get to Canada the evaluation will be used as verification for govt jobs and many private sector jobs . Also if she doesn't do IELTS now , when its time for citizenship she will have to write IELTS. So last last not a waste of resources.
Thank you for your comments ednut1.
She will write the exam when, and if she has to. Meanwhile, the evaluation may not be necessary by then because she will be pursuing another academic programme first.

I am 3 years older and married, yet in the pool. Just put things in order and get in. Then embrace relevant PNP.

I am on 410 (I didn't evaluate my spouse's credential nor enroll her for the IELTS exam - I regard that as waste of resources because we would still pursue PNP anyways.).

I have a Stanbic ibtc account, can I do this on their mobile app or I must visit the bank?
I don't know if you can do it via mobile app and I don't think it can only be done at the bank. Stanbic has an efficient Customer Care contact line. You can give it a try. However, if you are not in Nigeria, you can contact your account officer and get things done. But if you are in Nigeria, I think you should do it in person 1st.

.

Sir, I will just like to know how best to maximise profit either through treasury bills or mutual funds.

Also, I took a break from treasury bills while the rates was low....Now I realise that the rates you get from secondary buy is way lower from the government rates from the primary auction(access bank particularly).....and they dont even know if i could put in for the primary auctions...I will like to know what banks you know and use for bills where one can put in for the primary auctions....and if there is a branch of access bank I could put in through.... Thank you sir.
TBills is better than Mutual Fund if you know that you can afford to keep money away for reasonable amount of time. Mutual Funds managers often invest in TBills among others.

Open a FBN or STANBICIBTC account, with at least N100k you begin to invest in FGN TBills.

Please I have assumed that your proposed investment amount is at least N100k.

She's not perfect, but she loves much. I will do just anything to see her happy and would love her forever. So, if by chance forever becomes inadequate and a chance to choose again comes, I will go for her again.

Besides, Idon't want to spend too much money and start asking for refund. I noticed that oyibo don't return funds as easily as they take it.

Travel › I Need A Nairalander To Receive An Award On Behalf Of My Company In Brussels by Learner247(op): 2:51pm On Nov 08, 2022
Dear all,

Please refer to the subject matter.

My company was nominated to receive an award in Brussels, Belgium on the 18th by 8:00pm, however, I didn't get the email on time to apply for VISA, so I need somebody to just help attend on my behalf.

The person would attend the Gala Night by 8:00pm, receive the award on my behalf and read my acceptance speech that I would send to him or her.

He or she would not need to pay anything, I have a free slot for the event, the representative will use it. We can also pay a token to the person for his or her time. The entire programme would last for 2 to 3 hours.

The Organisation can ship the award to us here, but we need to be there to take pictures and receive it before the camera.

This is very urgent please.

Mod, kindly help to give this a wider view. Thank you.

pansophist:
So if your plan is to start traveling around the world in two years' time for example, then you must start planning now. necessary plans are things like registering your business and operating with a corporate account, to show the inflow and outflow of transactions, and you can boost possibly, and delay cash there. If you have any landed properties, are married with kids, or have any affiliations that show that you are thoroughly invested back home, then it is a plus.
Thank you. I have all the referenced. However, while there is good inflow and outflow transactions on my corporate accounts, I don't delay cash there because of the instability of the Naira and my flair for investing.

Can't my USD and Stockbroking investment suffice?

Good day.

I have never traveled outside of Nigeria because I haven't had any reason to do so. However, I intend to change this narrative soon by the grace of God.

In view of the above, I had planned to start traveling by going to Dubai for 1 week holiday but that would no longer be possible because of the new ban..

The above informed my creating this group, please how do I start traveling the world?

Please I do not intend to japa, just want to go see other countries with my family and come back home. I am a business man and people are just getting to know us, so japa is out of it.

I will appreciate rich answers from diverse people.

MOD, Kindly help me give this thread a boost. I really need a lot of responses to help me.

After foisting a disaster like Buhari upon this nation? What an insult. This useless man must be taught a bitter political lesson in 2023.....
If PMB had done very well, would you have acknowledged that you voted for him because Tinubu told you to do so?

Peter Obi was also very much in the GEJ government that Nigeria eagerly voted out.

My point is this, let us look at issues, experience, large heartedness and antecedents of the people running for these offices.
Whatever they said certain people would or wouldn't do in the past don't really matter because they didn't have the power 1st hand.

Can a civil servant afford this building. Can an a honest politician afford this building. God help us in this country. Nigerians are turning into slave in their own country. Accommodation has even skyrocketed, that you have to use six months of your salary to pay for a year rent. God help us
Those properties are over priced. Can that house be rented out for N8m per annum? I am sure many won't rent it for such an amount.

Then this whole problem of paying everything at a goal.. Even annual rent is too expensive to pay at a go.

If you say these things, many will tell you it's because you are poor and so on. But factors like these are the reason behind high unemoyment rate, continued embezzling of public funds, growing rate of marital infidelity, kidnapping for ransome and so on.

It is interesting how people who cannot do without pornography, fornication, cheating and all sorts, those whose god is their bellies find it easy to criticise those who have made a lot of sacrifices to connect with the Supernatural.

Folks be careful not to claim intelligence or to be logical when the devil is only making you a tool in his hands. If a young, committed life reminds you of what you could have been, you should humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and ask Him for help. Don't let pride fill your heart and Satan to deceive you into thinking "they are all fake."

If they are all fake, why not be the original!

Take a position for righteousness today! The word says ".. I sought for a man amongst them..". Let God find you.
Career › Re: What Is Your Take On Thanking Your Boss After Receiving Your Salary? by Learner247(m): 2:22am On Jul 31, 2022
Before now I only employed people to carry out tasks and pay them for it. So, when I pay them, I send evidence of payment to them for their information and my record. Usually they reply by saying they got the money and say thank you.
But recently, I employed some people on permanent basis and after paying salary, I decided to just keep record of the payment without sending it. I have not received any message from one of them. Whether he got it or not.. No comments.

I felt uneasy at first, but l had to talk to myself.

Bottomline, you worked for it, yes! But if it is a one man business, please acknowledge it and say thank you. Naturally, I thank you for doing your job. I also treat you with respect.

Personally, if I need to send someone off now, I will lay off that one person who didn't acknowledge receipt of salary even after receiving his salary 9 days upfront. In my line of business, I train you to do my work. So, I don't have problem laying off if I have to. Luckily he is on probation.

Politics › Re: 2023: I've Never Seen An Evil & Desperate Person Like Tinubu -Osibanjo In Shock by Learner247(m): 6:40am On Jul 11, 2022
In the South, people are more enlightened. Many Christians may still look beyond religion and vote for Tinubu because of his perceived competence and tribe. Whereas in the North, most of the voters are probably not as enlightened. So, they will just call his team, group of infidels should he chose a Christian running mate. I believe Tinubu understood the above, hence his choice.

While he may have smartly done this, I only pray that his decision won't set the country on fire if he wants to win with force in 2023.

Finally, the Christian South also sold themselves for a morsel of bread long before now. Keeping quiet in the face of oppression is complacency; greed and covetousness evident in building of massive edifices as against building true Christ followers. The Christians in any part of Nigeria has no business being hungry, naked or homeless with the kind of prosperity God has given His church in these last days but we would rather build mega churches, buy jets and befriend the thiefing enemies of the gospel at the corridors of power. The above have created mistrust between some church leaders and their followers. So, followers may not necessarily act as directed in 2023.

Welcome to this very long winter, Christians.

Not only are you ugly and fat, you're stingy too.. One day you'd meet your death on one of those trips of yours. Ba$tard!
First, that curse will not happen because it has no cause.
Secondly I am surprised that you feel so entitled. Please understand that no man gets anything if God doesn't give it to the person first. If the woman doesn't give it to you herself, some other people may do it if God decides to show you mercy. You didn't need to come out so bitter. Please remove bitterness from your heart and embrace the joy and peace of Christ.

While I understand that things are quite tough now, you must understand that everybody has his or her own responsibilities. Many trips you see people go for and post pictures here were planned well ahead.
