richcasey, please create short cut for this too.
I think it might be useful. Thanks.

Mr Spambot, abeg no ban me oo

Let me contribute my little cent too,

So i realize some people are still using Weste rUnion to send money home, See, Western union rate is sh!t abeg, when you can send at way higher rate, Without the receiver going to any bank to receive whatsoever.

This is only for people sending money home oo,



1, Download coinbase application on your smart phone, Works on both android and ios.

2. Register, and you are going to now have a bitcoin wallet, Link your bank account or card details,
It takes like an hour or so for the whole verification.

3. After the Verification is done, Click on buy bitcoin
say you want to send 100$ home, you will be charge 4$ or so, processing fee,
And you should now have 100$ worth of bitcoin in you wallet.

4. Now you should have 100$ btc(bitcoin),

go to this thread
hxxttp://www.nairaland.com/3190496/currency-e-currency-market-deals

and post the amount of bitcoin you want to sell,

Like " 100$ available @ 530/$"

becareful on that thread, you can use also Escrow, you can also deal only with only trusted exchanger, like ladyf, Tabbaz, and some few, just use your due diligence.

Current price for selling btc between range of 510/$ to 540/$
check the current selling price to set your own

5. Transfer BTC to exchanger, and exchanger will fund the recipient Naija bank account ASAP.

so imagine you sell the 100$ btc at 530/$
Recipient will get #53,000 in his/her bank account without having to go the bank, you can save your aged parent the stress of bank queue and more money.

now compare to Western Union,

As at today, Western union rate is 375/$,so if are sending 100$ via western union, recipient will only receive #37,500.

Btc(#53,000) - Western union(#37,500) a whole #15,500 margin just for 100$.

This process should take you more than 20 mins, after you verify your bank/card with coin base

and if you don't want to sell your btc on nairaland,

you can sell to httpxxs://instantgold. ng there rate a bit lower though

And if you also don't want to use coinbase, if you want to buy bitcoin with cash

head to httxxps://localbitcoins.c om/ .register an account, you can meet someone selling bitcoin close by you, you pay cash, the person transfer btc to your bitcoin wallet, then you sell, money get transfered to your recipient,SIMPLE!!!

This is CONFIRMED o, not just a theory..

Goodluck and sorry for the long post.

why will anyone buy your dollar at N530. The black market rate in Nigeria right now is N480. So what will be the gain of those buying at N50 extra? Can you clarify the business sense in this?

Who's telling these fu...ck up fools life nor be 2? This is just nothing but a test. The real life begins after this. Enjoy life but don't be too carry away for you to forget the hereafter.

I am not supporting this but women have always advise women to enjoy their lives and date different men. A case in question is Toke Markiwa who even told ladies to go look for one night stand! This is how we feel about such advice too from ladies

I usually read to the end of posts whether short or long. In this case Ijust couldn't continue when I got to where he said he was doing well after attending community college.

Just imagine! Doing well yet he couldn't not raise money for ordinary US flight ticket. Lol. He he couldn't even pay covenant university tuition with fir his brother. He should shut up at doing well. I can afford those stuff without bading an eyelid buy I still Don consider myself "doing well"

kinematicguy:
LSU is also like that, infact their petroleum engr dept. is the only school in the US, with a full scale well facility, like a live well.

Although I will add that, Tx A&M college station has more alumni in the oil and gas industry. Companies also recruit heavily at LSU.

Oh! You have defended me already! You are a wise man. Austin gets more recruitment than college station. Both schools are top school with very competitive admission why LSU ha's high acceptance rate. Thanks my guy

ChemEngr01:
Bro, I think you're confusing LSU with Texas A&M College Station

Is Texas A & M in New Orleans. Is Mobil Headquarter in College Station ? Mtchewwwwwww. I actually know what I am saying!

Agreed, like LSU, Texas A & M has great opportunities. However University of Texas at Austin even has better opportunities than Texas A & M. But getting into these two schools is not beans. Admission is like hell. In contrast, LSU has good acceptance rate with same opportunities. This is the attraction.

Johnnyessence:
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE MMM MESSAGE following a message on the MMM website this morning, 13/12/2016, many have misinterpreted it to mean MMM has been suspended for a month, but the part which made people think that is quoted as follows: "Hence, on the basis of the above mentioned, from now on all confirmed Mavro will be frozen for a month."- MMM Admin. Please this statement does not in any way mean that MMM activities have been suspended for a month, it only means that the usual two weeks RELEASE DATE will no longer hold, ur mavro must complete a month. all get help are still going to be paid, if u provide help 2day, ur release date will be one month from now. keep providing n getting help. Please rebroadcast this message till it becomes clear to everybody.

Do you know what you are saying? Your biz contract has been tempered with yet you are sinking in more funds.

Is that not madness?

hobermener:
I never participated in this scheme, but i think the media blitz against it is so uncalled for. MMM or whatever should be allowed to die a natural death, but the government is hell bent on stifling it with panic and fear. The government has failed the citizens, who now find hope and succor in helping each other(providing help ), yet the government in connivance with the media wants to take the only hope of the masses who are caught up in an unprecedented recession from them. Again i don't do mmm cos of my personal conviction, but those who've chosen to pool wealth for their common good should be allowed to do whatever they want with their hard earned MoNiEs without undue interference from those who are irrevocably committed to seeing the scheme crash.[/b]

This isn't rational at all. The function of governance is to protect her citizens and regulates agencies.

You are just not fair at all.

Who will marry this useless ashawo wey her p.unani don turn into lagos-ibadan expressway?

That your useless father is a billionaire doesn't mean everybody will be falling at your feet.

I can't even date any lady from a wealthy family talk more of a marriage, because once I give you instructions - as the head of the house and you don't comply, na back-hand slap straight! And if you complain, na 2 punches to your throat - no time!

You don't come into my house and be forming - my father is a billionaire or even proclaiming gender equality, na wheelbarrow dem go take carry you commot for my doormoth

Decide for yourself. However, there are other stats like chances created, accurate through balls, long balls completed. This is what matters

Decide what? They are both great!

Please house,
I have gained admission to Louisiana State University and also secured my Visa...
- Am i supposed to pay any amount to the school for any clearance before i can gain entry at the POE or i have a choice to pay at the school after i am in the States because someone was telling me that i have an amount to pay else i would have problems at the POE.
I would appreciate prompt response to this.
Thanks

I truly love your sch
I had my admission there but it came late. That is ExxonMobil headquarters. Chevron, ExxonMobil and other oil and gas company poach on the school like their life depend on it. Just go and excel and make us proud here

MsDelilah:
Of course, I do.

Met him during our orientation in the University. The first time I saw him, I told my roommate "You see that guy? I'm going to marry him".

We dated for a while, but things didn't quite work out. Nevertheless, we've remained best friends for 9 years. I have NO regrets. I love him to the moon and back. Always have, always will.

Awwww. I really love those that love. You still love even when things didn't work out. Such a kind you!

prettyAdaolisa:
Midehi2...u took my spot!

I still do remember my first love...that was in sec school...i came newly in jss3...

I think he loves me too cos he never looks at me while talking to me...ofcos he was a shy type!

I kept getting close to him but he kept pushing me away cos of his shy nature...but later wrote a later to me when I was terribly sick in ss3 and was away from school for a month...

I became partially healed when I read his letter...

Oh!...sweet memories... Sure won't get them back!

This is a like a movies
Please could you tell me more please.

vodutive:
Weve had many people (including Nigerian Quacks) claim they've found a cure for Aids and I initially would have dismissed it as just another quack especially when I heard the name of the University but what caught my attention was "British journal of medicine". Wow!! I said to myself this must be credible! so i searched the internet. I came across the youtube video I posted earlier. He sounded a bit quackish but at the same time he seemed to make some sense. I was intrigued so I went to the site of the British Medical Journal and entered his name in the search field hoping I would see the article....No results!!! Hmmm


Alas "British journal of medicine" is not the same as the respected "British Medical journal"

I googled his name and came across this article on what seems like a gay forum. Now nobody has more vested interest in a cure for aids than a gay man living with aids. Apart from the body of scientists, nobody understands HIV more the people living with it, it's their life (or death) everyday they live in hope of a cure. So when a gay man who is probably living with HIV says this is crap.....I'm inclined to believe because he's probably been given so much false hope , he knows what is credible and what isn't.


This article sums up the whole thing




"Maduike Ezeibe has not cured AIDS

I mean, it feels ridiculous to me that I need to say this, but since this website is apparently full of bizarre AIDS-conspiracy theorists who think ‘the government’ will kill this man for publishing his quack science, I put together a few points to hopefully clear things up.

The claim that his treatment has cured AIDS is completely unfounded. In his June 2015 paper, Ezeibe writes:

Also, reduction of mean viral load of all the HIV/AIDS patients who participated in the clinical trial, from 18875.00 ± 17059.18 to 327.50 ± 226.84, is 98.26% reduction. Kaplan [27] reported that when treatments reduce loads of infectious agents by 95% or more, body immunity is able to eliminate what are left of the infections. What these results mean, is that the MSAMS cures HIV/AIDS, not just prolongation of lives of HIV-positive persons.

It’s embarrassing that I am using my fandom blog to tear this down, but that Kaplan paper cited is about parasitic worms. The fact that someone decided that a treatment threshold for parasitic worms could a) be applied to HIV and b) used to claim they found a cure should honestly discredit their entire body of work on the topic.

Anyone who has read a n y t h i n g about HIV in the past decade knows that that’s not how HIV fucking works. Every real antiretroviral treatment on the market today can achieve non-detectable levels of virus in a fraction of patients with good compliance, but whole reason HIV continues to be an issue today is that the virus hangs out inside your non-replicating dendritic cells or wherever and it fucking comes back when you stop treatment. To even think about claiming a cure for HIV, patients need to be off treatment and virus-free for YEARS. To date the only person to be really actually cured of HIV is the Berlin Patient, who was cured with a bone marrow transplant from a donor with HIV-resistant T-cells. Repeat after me: the only successful way to cure HIV is to kill off 100% of your immune cells and replace them with immune cells that HIV can’t infect.
[b]
So how did Ezeibe get away with making truly laughable claims in a scientific journal?

The paper is published in a trash journal. Scientific journals are rated by, among other metrics, their Impact Factor. This describes how many times an article in that journal will be cited in the future, telling you essentially how much that paper contributed to other people’s works. Scientists want their work to have impact. Top journals like Nature, Science, New England Journal of Medicine, etc. have Impact Factors in the 30s. These journals publish the most exciting, high-impact results that scientists across disciplines are interested in and they correspondingly have the most rigorous scientific requirements for accepting articles. A journal with Impact Factor of 2 to 4 might be a nice niche journal with decent rigor (like JIAS for example) but won’t be read by anyone outside that particular field of study. What, you may ask, is the Impact Factor for World Journal of AIDS, the journal where Ezeibe’s article is published?

ZERO.

ResearchGate lists their IF as 0.[/b] Is that the default for journals with no data? Seems so. WJA apparently doesn’t have an official IF score, (because Thompson Reuters doesn’t deem them to be even significant enough to score among the 70 Infectious Disease journals and 139 Immunology journals they scored in 2013) but they generously calculate their own alternative score to be less than one.

I honestly can’t critique his paper in more detail than this because his methods section is almost nonexistent. It’s possible that his nanoparticle therapy for HIV has promise, but it’s impossible to tell from this paper. For what is ostensibly a Phase I clinical trial for his “miracle drug,” any journal with any reputation at all to uphold is sending this submission back with request for MAJOR revisions, or more likely rejecting it outright.

Bottom line: no one is reading or citing WJA except by accident. The news outlets reporting on this paper need to fire their science correspondents.

One last general thing:

His method of nanoparticle is very promising. It was able to stop cancer at the University of Missouri, Columbia

Truely, when Bernard Omalu discovered concussion in sport men, every known medical journal would not accept his findings, everyone called him African quack doctor until the film "concussion" beam light on his medical breakthrough. Now he owns the highest medal recognition of American medical practise.

There is an element of politics in medical science and breakthrough. Don't join anyone to rip this apart. There is a silver linings in every cloud.

Directly opposite my house, Infact by my bedroom window should be Trey Songs and Yes, I would have a high powered telescope trained to his shower window! (although my first preference would have been Peter Okoye but I don't want Lola's whahala). On my left, Rihanna -imagine all the hand-me-down clothes and shoes she would be dashing me! . On the right, Tony Elumelu - I will famz the guy tire eh, he must offer me 2 Jobs at once!

lol. see dreams!

Zehner:
really? I didn't know that

Zehner is looking all set from top all the way down. you fine sha

But why don't the DPO paint their stations. Why not print 100 naira sticker to write those sign rather than defacing the wall with Chalk. I don't understand Nigerians and their ways of life

madridguy:
Oga sir and it is must you take a selfie with her and release it to the Web for the world to see? You should have respect the innocent baby.
My opinion though

which is better? This or taking her to court while her picture is still out in the world with handcuffs. Police is not a charitable organisation. She just got ex-convict out of her name.

inupato:
These people are always jealous of hardworking Nigerians abroad

LOL. Did you read the story. All their 10 supreme court judges are Nigerians appointed in 2016. It is not enough to cry out to Nigeria Government. Hope you won't blame them when they start killing our people there. Because we are causing sabotage there right now.

dollyjoy:
Any guy that expects me to pay on a date he invite me is on a longggggggggg thing.

I won't pay!!!

Who would do that to my babygirl?

klassykute:
graduate achieving toothpick factory.... na carpenter dem b... congrats sha... at least e go cheap from #50-#20



when u hear 250 graduate establish toothpick factory in united state

This is Ignorance. Toothpick costs us hundreds of Million in dollar yearly.

The drawing is actually beauriful if you kept one eye close and take a look from an angle.

luvinhubby:
Who told you rice and sugar are under import waiver?

Wow! Guess you didn't know this. Maybe you should check out Vaswani Brothers. They are the owner of Stallion Group. They are billionaire in dollars who made most of their money in Nigeria seeking for import waiver. They import all the know foreign rice like stallion, mama gold etc

This guys were on import waiver for years that waives more than 1 billion naira in tax every day of their shipment. They continued to invade tax when the waiver elapsed in 2014 so much so that the Nigeria Custom service slammed them a fine of N17b which they never paid. Sadly, Jonathan cancels the debt just before leaving office. That is what the Minister is talking about.

Ahmadgani:
people like you are part of Nigeria problems. myopic thinking, shallow minded, irrational statements and prejudice-filled judgement.

they are due to retire, and they were replaced by the most senior officers.

This is very correct. But the most senior officers didn't assume office in many other establishment wherein the southern region occupied the most senior officer position.

There have been theory in such cases that the president has the right to put a suitable persons in office which I agree with. But it does seems from antecedents, that mostly persons from Northern extract are suitable to the President of the Country.

luvinhubby:
This is the most stupid individual that occupied the office of the minister of Finance in the history of Nigeria.

Every growing economy needs import waivers for critical sectors that will stimulate growth and create employment.

If corruption is why we are in the mess we are in today, why is the whole economy worse off now that you fighting corruption than it was when corruption "reigned" ?

Bunch of incompetent hypocrites.

Is rice and sugar critical industries? That made it hard to develop home grown rice and sugarcane which ordinary shouldn't be hard

Abeymills:
See dis mumu u are sick in d brain like ur boss mumudu bubuhari

Is this insult on what she thinks or just attack on her person? In my opinion, she made sense.

Fairgodwin:
Hahaha, I didn't know Cameroonians have great sense of humor [like Nigerians] too.

I just love it when people make fun and create laughter out of situations: a great stress relief.

But that man is the uncle to the President's wife and I think his 'respect' was overdone.

The guy is an apologist. He is not going to gather any respect from the president by this type of loyalty. His action shows he is in position of leadership by favor and not on merit. So a shameful handshake!

FredN:
Nothing wrong with his comments


We all have our different ways we react to grief. Akwa Ibom state is one of the truly christian states with almost 100% Christian population in Nigeria and in a sad event like this, it isn't out of place for an official of the state to give a faith based reassurance to its citizenry

America is a successful democracy yet Presidents still say God bless America

You know this death is needless if we would understood safety as a country. No building under contruction should be granted access to. Vibrations, of course, of uncompleted project could trigger an accident like this. The legislators and Engineering regulation body should be held accountable first before the Structural Engineers.

iyobs7:
Hello house please I need response to this questions. First let me highlight some things...

1. I studied in India BSC Computer Science.
2. It is a three 3 year course.

I know America only allows 4 year BSC for masters and more importantly I am not really interested in Masters.

Please does anyone know of any institute or college that offers Postgraduate Certificate in computer course/ IT.

I would really appreciate your responses and inputs.

I saw some schools in Canada but Canadian visa application is very rigid and I would've preferred America please house.


Thanks.

Not impossible but much harder to get vis with your intending route. Indians usually do Master along with their bachelor to surmount this challenge. Are you sure there woun't be any school that will accept Indian's alone bachelor degree for Master Course?

TWoods:
lol if i was your VO, i would have denied you the visa on account of the above. Plastics are not made from crude waste. Adhesives yes, but not plastics... also the most dangerous parts of plastics are the additives, not the monomers used in making the plastic.

hahahaha. The VO was kind of lenient. It's is easy to detect how all the lies were sewn together. But we should be happy for him. Happy for another successful Nigerian

peacesamuel94:
thanks very informative, although it sounds heartbreaking, i'll do my best to make the mission possible.

how about in an outside Nigeria setting.

This is not exactly true if you are focused. You could do your masters and PhD in a space four years.

A friend of mine just bag a PhD in Uniben just 2 year +. Once you meet your research goal. You would be graduated.

But why do PhD in Nigeria? most PhD programs in US and Canada are free. You don't even need masters in many school in US and UK to get admitted into PhD program. Just your bachelor. You should go research what GRE and TOEFL exams are.
