Happened last Friday in Owasso, Oklahoma. Kid claims it was his dad and that "This will be dealt with". I can say in no uncertain terms that if that were MY 70 year old father it would be dealt with accordingly as well.
“I’m going out of town on business for two weeks and need to borrow $5,000,” the man answers.
The loan officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan.
So, the man holds out his hand and opens his palm, saying, “These are the keys to my car, which is sitting out front.”
“Here are the documents, as well,” he says as he hands over a tiny stack of papers.
The loan officer peeks out the window and sees a brand new Ferrari parallel parked directly in front of the bank.
“One moment, please.”
The loan officer walks into a back office to consult with the president of the bank. Everything checks out.
So, after sharing a laugh with the president at this man leaving a $750,000 car as security for a $5,000 loan, the loan officer returns and tells the man that they will happily accept the Ferrari.
An employee of the bank then drives the car into the bank’s underground garage and parks it.
Two weeks later, the man returns and pays the $5,000 plus interest, which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer smiles and says, “Sir, we are very happy to have your business. This transaction has worked out very nicely.”
So a guy walks into a bank in Manhattan and asks for the loan officer
Then he adds, “But to be honest, we are a little bit puzzled.”
“While you were away, we checked you out and found out that you are a multi-millionaire. So what puzzled us is why you’d bother to borrow $5,000?”
The man replies, “Where else in Manhattan can I park my car for two weeks for just $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”
rottennaija: So they would rather not see the project included than see it executed. Already, they have shared the money to other projects that was not captured or that has already been budgeted for
you nailed it
this just greed on the part of Nass, if pmb insist on the project to be included before signing the budget, all the money diverted to constituency project will be withdraw to for the original project which translate to lesser money for the Nass Buffoons.
thats why they want the president to sign it and send a supplementary budget in which we will have to source for new funds for the rail project.
"Nigeria has already converted up to a tenth of its reserves into yuan five years ago. Songtian said a framework on currency swaps has been agreed with Nigeria making it easier to settle trade deals in yuan".
God bless our hero's past.
God bless the past administration, God bless Goodluck Jonathan for setting the foundation for this achievement.
Where are the APC terrorist children of hate and anger...? Your usual hate comments and useless rant against the best president in the history of United Nigeria welcome.
Yeah GEJ administration set the foundation for the achievement buh kudos to the PMB administration that follow through with a good policy. This shows he has the best interest of Nigerians at heart and he Is not playing politics. Most govt would have abandon it and look elsewhere for new project.
Some of the good project under GEJ were carried for forward by PMB buh the only diff being they renegotiate the contract to favour Nigerians.
Glad to have a president that cares about is people
expertman: LOL see you oh you don get plan for another person money.
Reading from your post you said may be the agent made a mistake?
The agent didn't made any mistake the mistake is from the bank it once actually happened to me via skye bank dom acct.
My advise go to the bank and inform the customer care services.
They did be happy you a good citizen.
Who knows they might give u a loan of more than 5M to appreciate you instead of all this uncomfy situation you put your self.
Imagine cos of the restriction you can't sleep well thinking they might be after you.
That's my advise although since is past a month the money has been forgotten.
Shallom
the error cant be from the bank cos the teller that did the transaction that every day wont balance. except the agent filled the instruction twice and that will explain why he got double alert.
my advice is you go bank to the bank and report yourself and be an honest citizen or blow the money and wait till the day SARS will come and arrest you.
ridwanayo: Am no igbo or bayelsa but dis is a divide nd rule tactics by those notherners,why dy are hell bent on turning d south against eachother is what I don't know
The north giving you headache since 1914.
You can also blame the north for your father leaving your mother
sleazy5: In as much ad I commend the Lagos -Calabar coastal rail, I agree with the senators that the project was not contained in the two budget proposals sent to it. Senator Ashafa's statement is just a confirmation of the obvious fact. How do you submit a supplementary budget when the original budget has not been passed In as much as the national assembly has its share if the blame the executive should man up to theirs.... This whole mess was orchestrated by them.
Why did they not reject it instantly? If that's what they did we won't be having this issue
1. The project was not in the initial budget submitted by the president.
2. The senate committee on land transportation confirm that the minister of transportation submitted a supplementary budget to his committee which had this project.
3. Ashafa confirmed that as at the time the committee defended its report before the senate committee on Appropriation. The Lagos to Calabar rail modernisation project was included in the Senate Committee on Land Transports recommendation to the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
So my question is this, why did the senate collect the supplementary budget when they know his from the minister and not th president?
Why was it recommend to the Senate commitee o appropriations if you know it hasn't th due channel?
They all know how important the project was why didn't they alert the excutive that th inclusion of the project have not followed followed the due process?
Why did they deny removing the project in the first place because it's obvious the project got to the committee on appropriations?
Who removed it?
Sometimes we see the light of yet we Chase shadows
mapet: You see when we say mad men full here berekete......... 1. So you'll rather deny your people welfare because it is coming from other tribes? 2. You do not want a rail line to come to Calabar because in your jaundiced brain "it will only develop the economy of Lagos".
One would have thought our problem as a country ends with leadership not knowing that it starts with the idiocy of people like you
Osezua: what about the minister or finance? you are going to sign a loan and your minister of finance is not going with you. I don't understand this govt.
I don't know why people still listen to the mad man in ekiti.
PROPHETmichael: Kachikwu thinks he is a social science lecturer in a university of fools and horses. What kind of rubbish is he going about saying? He should shut up for once and stop contradicting himself with every attempt to make himself look wise. What we want is petroleum minister not petroleum lecturer. This man is not telling us the truth and it is very sad to listen to him, a seemingly intelligent man, taking no prisoners in deceiving the nation. I don't give a monkey where he comes from but in any sane society he and Buhari should have resigned their positions in the oil ministry. Last week he came out and said the scarcity will continue till may. When pushed, he changed to two weeks and subsequently to yesterday(in abuja and Lagos). So does he actually know what he is talking about? Then today he is talking about forex, for God's sake when crude was $9 per barrel and we had $3b in our reserve there was no forex crisis. Why are these guys manufacturing problems for the masses in the name of politics? He reduced the price of fuel in January and now he wants to revise that because, even before the reduction he knew he was deceiving people. How can you set a price for a commodity people buy from open market without subsidy and you think it will work? It is absolute nonsense. You tell Nigerians that pump price of petrol will be N70 and a marketer buys petrol from Russia at N90, how can he sell it at N70? Is he a magician? In my own humble opinion, since:- (1) We have no senate anymore (2) No judiciary anymore (3) No coherent opposition anymore
I think it is time to protest for the resignation of the following people:- 1. The minister of petroleum-Buhari 2. The minister of state for petroleum- Kachikwu And, 3. The GMD of NNPC.
And who told you it was oil money that made the bulk of the foreign reserve then? Cocoa business was still alive then and corruption was still a baby like you then. I expect you to say rubbish cos you lack knowlegde
