Nicky Butt...25+

and on the age saga....since many of us (including the nigerian caoches n admin) why dont we consider that then

well i believe only in nigeria things get exaggerated!!
u'll hear people saying theyve gone for Hajj 14 times!!! yet thousands/millions can't afford it or are not priveleged to get connection for flights

Most muslims know the essence but many people esp nigerians abuse it just like they abuse many things including religion...U Hear them mention God in whatever they say it so sickening sometimes  because they dnt actually mean what they say..

Is this there reason why the ID have not reached 90% ( just my figures) of nigerians ? i dnt really know anybody that have their yet, r they upgrading it? or chop da money as usual
Some news report about october claimed some peoples personal details were totally wrong!!!

I mean nigerian people dont have normal I.D card talkless of a credit card..i dnt know if this is a monetary card or just a credit reference card...

the british N.I card clearly states "THIS IS NOT AN I.D CARD! ON IT (well mine does)
if they want to know peoples credit rating that should be done thru the banks they should have a network concerning peoples ratings

i think they are planning to introduce that this year it was on test last year...nigeria getting all these technology late is lucky as it will only apply tred n tested products in the world.....its not at da frontrunner just n apply researched technology ')

Just get a surge protector from the UK; everything gets spoilt in Nigeria!  I wonder if a surge protector is any use. 


hmm let's say get a surge protector that says "£3000 guarantee" like in da argos catalogue.  Do you think they'll cover appliances in Nigeria?

erm can someone just make a chart and make this whole heap of data/cluster more sensible and straightforward, though a lot of advert but i think it will be more appealling if this comes in form of a table

"it is accepted in over 210 countries at over 30million locations worldwide"

how many shops can i spend it in-in nigeria ?

since its operated in $$$$ dolllars $$$$, if i want to get something in a nigerian shop that accepts the mastercard how am i charged?

over here i can withdraw money from my credit card from the ATM, if i withdraw money from the stb mastercard ( or any other credit card in nigeria) do i get $$$$ dollars?

what are the charges if the customer use this card in other countries apart from nigeria?

are customers insured against fraudlent mis-use after reporting the card stolen/lost?

_{DOES IT REALLY TAKE 2MONTH+ TO OPEN A VIRTUAL PAL ACCOUNT WITH STB AND THE STAFFS HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER HEARD OF IT??/}

this site in really informative!! its like da ask jeeves of nigeria [color=#006600][/color]

i wondered the same aswell
If they had a problem for the friendlies they played before the last matches of the world cup qualifers...they wont give them access to the same hotel....
As u cant trust the NFA press people who wil always say everything is fine....or in some cases say different things (Katsina,Kano,Abuja) one is always incline to google it and the first reports will be from international agents

I wonder why they cant have general T.V coverage/ and press conference in the camp so we will be kept updated

Ermm its called investment as theysay what u do with knowledge is important!! they come with their dollars we smile n rub our belly they laugh n speak english with funny accent.....bombard u with million dollar dis million dollar dat...why do u think Borishade n co are hangin on!!!

they are "investing" in our country....maybe with a sharper angle but thats what investment is all about ...what u can GAIN FROM IT its not charity afterall we have nigerian companies that can do some of this job!! not all but majorty of them or even make them partner wih local companies!!

there are some nigerian companies employing oyinbo.....!!!

well im an entrepreneur myself though studyin engineering 

i will like more info as im more inclined to service than manufacturing...and guess what... i'll even invest if the books are clean n right ..how about that!!

IT CANt BE KEPT CLEAN IF THEY ARE USING NATURAL GROUNDS.its mud!!! so when da rain fall everything goes with it includin your whites!! 

Who knows anything about Osu University area? I hear they don't have good standard house or could do with more. What about Kwara University area and Kwara Poly area?

What is it like collecting rent from students/workers in nigeria? Do they pay direct to an acount or you literally have to do Baba-Suwe and knock on their doors?

THANKS NYFERYN

im goin to dump da stb idea i read n notice many bad thing about them...from this website...u mentioned uba but they dnt have a page of their own so i conclude they are da same after da whole mergin thing

I spoke with some people at GTB n they were very helpful n thorough even promised to set an account up for me with online access in A DAY! dats if i come to nigeria...i wil get some1 to open it for me over there

and explained da domicilary account will have to be after 6months with them which was kool with me.


thanks again N

A clothing line?  Can N200k actually start a clothing line?  (not $)

ok people, I want to start/open a Unisex Salon with other minors like phone business.  CD, DVD, Games for sale at the same venue possible not in da central lagos so average shope rent

- cut hair
- braid hair (extra)
- sell re-charge cards
- sell dvds, games, CDs
- gameshop ps3, x-box 360 (extra)

Considering the fact business is risky and triple risky in Nigeria, do you think 200-250k would be enough to start a barbing shop?  If I was living in Nigeria would I be able to survive and live with this?

I asked my barber who owned a shop in nigeria it should be enough but i should forget nigeria n concetrate on my studies.  But I've been itching to do something like this for a long time.  I basically want to supply the capital and have my cousin manage it for themselves!  If they succeed that's their gain, and if not [then too bad].

Erm OUR COACH WAS NOT EVEN AT THE MATCH!!1!!!
HE WAS PAID TO MONITOR THE CAF TEAM DAT LOST .."GUIDE THEM"

look at da pic ORACLE...posted...Okocha's team-mate was smiling!!! nice pic!!!!

SOMEONE MENTION ...okocha is the main reason why we didnt go to the world cup!! FALSE ALARM!!! FALSE ALARM!!!

"ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS" WHY WE DIDNT QUALIFY WAS OVER-RELIANCE ON OLD AND INJURIED PLAYERS

we have footballers in abundance but we just want to stick with the over used 30/40 somethings!!

he was a very good player n even quit football...begged da country to look elsewhere but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
HE GETS...."okocha is doing big boy"

teddy sheringham,alan shearer, roy keane are in da same age group as okocha.even scholes,butt retired at 25plus.look elsewhere!!

WHY DONT WE TRY N GET USA VS NIGERIA GAME..
CONTACT SOME FEW JOURNALIST N THEY SHOULD HOPEFULLY PUT IT FORWARD TO DA NFA!!
MORE PLAYERS WILL BE WILLING TO PLAY USA THAN ROMANIA...( THEY LOST THEIR WAY TO DA MATCH!! GOT THERE 2HRS B4 DA GAME)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice nice


its so unfortunatte we dnt have history of players just comin bang into da limelight ...esp club they played for in nigeria.."their real age" and what states they are from
not dat da stae really matters but u know when u watch nfl or Granstand u get da full info....

and where can i get the "WHERE ARE THEY NOW" there are some players ive never heard of but are said to be in da national team

COME ON PEOPLE LETS STOP BEING PARTIAL!!

THE GOOD THING ABOUT EUROPEAN FOOTBALL IS STATISTICS!! ...IS CLEAR NO DENYIN IT.. IT HAD PATTERNS

ROONEY IS BETTER!! HE CAN PLAY AMONGST ANY TEAM EASILY..WATCH MARTINS PLAYIN FOR NIGERIA HE SCORES GOALS BUT FOR MOST PART HE'S NOT CREATING OR GETTIN INTO POSITIONS!!


I'M NOT A MAN U FAN BUT

ZE BHOY IS GOOD!! SIMPLE


AND AS FOR THE ATTITUDE IT COMES WITH SPORTS MATE!! footbal is not a gentlemans game

Apparently the hotel accommodating the BUBA EAGLES HAVE SEIZED THEIR PASSPORT FOR NON PAYMENT !!!

THE thing i dnt get is that..... we experience this year in year out!!! and FAILURE to qualify for germany 2006 would start a new "due process" , early preparations and not underestimating opponent era!!!

As u rightly said it would get more embarrasing for us!

this topic is quite interesting n thank u all for your questions and on point answers
just some cuople of questions...

how do i buy shares from outside nigeria.please give hints on.... money transfers.certificate...n da authority to sell share thingy they r fightin about via txt or something with NSE
going through the DISCOVERY FUND site.the ideal of buyin several shares seems too broad..too boring...can a customer select the sector or companies he/she would like their funds invested in?


AND I AGREE WITH Y'ALL nigeria will be hot!! in terms of investment in 2006[/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000][color=#990000][/color]

Hey People
i am very much interested in this as i have been trying to open an account in nigeria even though i am over here....am not a business user or anything just a personal savings account so when im goin 4 holiday i dnt have to start savin or carrying money around.....

I tried the online application for STB/UBA but i dint get a reply i was prompted to fill in another application form after several month which included details about my account here (UK)...account number n all whole shizzle....my passport numbers...house address..just seems somehow considering the fact it was "nigeria" ( very unfortunate)....

I asked my cousin to open an online savings ( virtual pal account STANDARD TRUST BANK) account in her own name on my behalf so that i can see the balance n even though i can transfer funds directly i will send da money from those agencies ..travelex,moneygramm....
AFTER anoher 3 weeks....when she got there ...the "CUSTOMER SERVICE/RECEPTION/CASHIER/MADAM.....said she has never heard of " virtual pal account"
and after another 2weeks another receptionist said they'll have to send da form which i emailed to my cousin from their website
to their head office which will take another 2 weeks as they dnt know about it in their branch....

just imagine after all this how much would i be able to save ?1?!


NFERYN...n fellow landers u seem to have done da research n passed da several beaurecracies...
basically i want to open an account in nigeria without obviously have to go their and show them my " drivers liecense" and "nepa bills"...which i will be able to view online,transfer funds to relatives from my nigerian account possibly to their account or pick up...
and if there is any that allows transfer of fund from an international /uk account[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][size=8pt][/size]

its not really expensive cos over here i think is usually 50p-£1 per hour free use of webcam...
coping is cheap 5p...u can compare da price directly with foreign countries ...it very cheap here but hey every1 has internet access at home.....

if i go to nigeria i wont mind payin that much for a reliable service n fast 1 at that.....24hr electricity generator or no generator (quite ones)

remember the LOADING.......................... Loading..............LOADING.......loading days ..Thank God for internet broadband...the world is a smaller place

I think the[b] lastdon [/b] is just trying to say that when signin up for free email and what hav u online,.... u dnt necessarily have to put your real details.like i see some people even on nairaland with their home address ... includin da number n street...typical Nigeria..thats why i love nigerian university they teach u very well!!

My main question is da EFCC aspect...do they actually catch people in nigeria doing  "yahoo" ??
