Hello guys

Is firstbank Mastercard going in AliExpress and if yes, what's the rate?

Thanks 👍

No naira denominated card can be used on Aliexpress. That's been the state of play for a while now.

Either get a domiciliary account or one of these digital dollar accounts.

Dave0116:
This is absurd, how come he's just noticing it?

Great question.

The man talks as if he just arrived in Nigeria last week.

More properties to be purchased in London on his behalf.

More unnecessary trips to the UK.

More insecurity.

I'm pretty sure this woman was born and raised in Nigeria, then moved to the UK.

She's a pretty well known bootlicking politician.

funshint:
She's obviously richer than him; so he must get half of her properties

Finland is a small country and she’s a public servant, not a kleptocrat. She probably doesn’t have much more than him.

LeeSmart:
Dis oyinbo people get issue oo, na dem give us that line of "Till death do us part" nd na dem still no the follow am. No be juju be daht?

The lesson is to ignore their blatant hypocrisy and do what is best for your own society.

kabukabu50:
Can't fix a country broken from the top.

Can you as a citizen build infrastructures or provide resources to the needy?

Nope.

Nigeria won't be fixed in this lifetime,because the regular sheep like you believe that the wolf is your friend.

Until he eats all of you.

Then it will be too late.

😆

Like I said, too stupid and lazy to fix their own problems.

Want to reap where they didn't sow and are happy being treated worse than dogs in the meantime.

Foolish people.

Abi1985:
If you want Japa, please Japa. I am not saying you shouldn't japa.

They can tax so much - eh you want to cry
And sleep. Your own money goes to tax and more tax.

You are not really the owner of your property because of tax. Property tax is something else.

Child support payment na another thing on its own- if you like woman, please be careful not to have many baby mama e get why.

Nigerians back home cannot understand until they come here and experience themselves.

I remember when my cousin was warning me about the Uk. I thought he was talking nonsense until I came and experienced reality. Experience is the best teacher
If you are doing well in Naija, please stay and visit. If you are struggling, then please Japa.

It doesn't matter how much truth you tell these fools they will still sell their lives (and bodies ) to leave Nigeria because they are too stupid and lazy to fix their own country.

Jennyclay:
Nigerian men are criminally minded

Nigerian men will defraud you
Nigerian men will rape you
Nigerian men will murder you

I’ll feel very safe in the Lion’s den than to be in the midst of Nigerian men.

I hate Nigerian men so much. They make me sick!!

Is your father not a Nigerian man?

Is it he who caused you to disparage all Nigerian men?

I'm sorry that you went through such to make you feel as you do.

Anyway you will find out the hard way that there are good and terrible men everywhere. Just as there are horrendous as well as decent women everywhere.

Etranshub:
Yes i do metal works... Fantastic metal works

Where was that picture taken? Where is your workshop?

Etranshub:
Sighed! Finally something good to hear about my beloved Nigeria. Hopefully this will be a beginning of more and more of such news.


I make fantastic metal work ranging from fish smoking kiln, hamdrails up to warehousing iron roofing

Is that your work?

Skelewujapan:
Please, I dont understand what is going on, some of my parcel are saying failed to clear at import custom. Is custom having issues clearing parcels?

There was a strike so there’s a backlog. You’ll have to give it time but it’ll be fine, most likely.

The Gathering Of Original Thinkers

The world is not in not in short supply of original thinkers, but their thoughts don't always find expression in the policy thrusts of government. In the
final analysis, politics of different shades come to play.

What should be of concern to clear thinking Nigerians is how to translate these thoughts into deliverables to the people.

Very few politicians are original thinkers. Especially not a crook like Tony Blair.

sonature1:
I wanted to see Paul Kagame on that list! That man and Rwanda are the pride of Africa today.
If not for leaders like Paul Kagame, I would probably argue that black Africans are not due for self-rule.

They should also invite Professor Patrick Lumumba to events like this. African leaders need be reminded that they carry the hopes of millions and start thinking outside the box.

Rwanda isn’t even the best performing country in Africa so how do you make such a foolish statement. Africans should not be denied self rule but people like you should be banned from voting.

IAmRoot:
Hmm, seems risky, well. I'm planning to get a Samsung Galaxy on AE and i might try this your method. Shey all the devices you ordered reached safely?

Just ask them to put a reduced value for the phone. Make it seem like a cheap Xiaomi instead of Samsung. You’ll be fine.

GentleRay:
Wu bi male, Wu bi female. Yeye dey smell.

The oyinbo bend his knee, that one nah male.

The one acting shocked nah female.

GloriousGbola:
Finally. The logical progression of all this Redpill brouhaha. Bros for bros.

Na lie.

The logical conclusion of red pill is celibacy or a good woman, not homosexuality.

Congrats to the happy couple all the same.

Gjackzy:
All of you talking about 21st century should use it to clear our items that is with Nigeria custom

I have no control over the trash entity that is Nigerian Customs but I'm sure they retain practices that were seen as outdated 20 years ago in other countries.

adubam:
You also transfer dollar online? You guys would be forming porch online.

Yes, why is that so strange? You think aboki doesn’t have bank account?

9jamemez:
You actually don't honestly. Lol I don't know why people believe going to the bank and waiting on long long queues will get every problem resolved.
I resolve all my banking issues online period.

These guys aren't ready for the 21st century at all.

The only time I go to the branch is to collect a new card, otherwise I do everything online or via the phone.

Olamak1:
Note that these orders were already cleared by customs before the strike, but not yet sent to Distribution Centre. The moment the strike was called off, they were immediately sent to the appropriate quarter for onward dispatch to different locations they're meant for.
To lend credence to this statement , I have 3 orders, one arrived the country April 24th,got cleared on 28th but was stuck at 'Los International'. The other 2 arrived May 3rd but could not be cleared due to the strike. Now the first order has been sent to Los Distribution Centre while the other 2 are still awaiting Customs clearance.

That makes more sense than for them to have been suddenly cleared within the past 24 hours.

Gbagura:
Strike has been called off as 2 of my items has clear custom already 💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺🎉🎉🎉

When did these items arrive in Nigeria that they cleared already?

I know the backlog is serious because of these people who can't keep to an agreement.

Tadadobe:
If this thing happen in Nigeria, you won't give this kind of excuse. The black race is slavery

Exactly. Colonialism lives on in the heads of many of these fools.

Larryndelaw:
If you don't like what they are doing , Just leave the UK. You can't force yourself on them

People like you will forever lick the boot of your persecutors.

You make the same silly arguments about Africa, that people who do not like Tom absurd cultural practices should leave. Nothing will ever improve anywhere if we keep to tradition because people like you despise progress.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]You no go understand. [/color]

I don't. The media reported that they agreed to the tariff increases last month, then decided to protest when it came time to enforce.

Nonsense.

aieromon:
Clearing activities resumed today.

Thank you.

Lets hope they get extra hands to clear the unnecessary backlog that these people caused to save 15NGN.

aieromon:
Work to resume on Monday as Unions have agreed on 75% increase.

Monday has come and gone. Where are you people getting your information from?

Gbagura:
We are hoping they resume operations today because I don't think even DHL and FedEx has been able to clear their shipments since the beginning of their strike. I'm sure they realize the consequences of their strike as billions of naira is being lost to this strike.

Hoping based upon what? Did they not just strike in January? What has changed since? I have not heard anything since to suggest an improvement in the situation.

Babalegba:
I looked at your your link and did not see anything to contradict my stance just a Nigerian newspaper biggying up some diasporan Nigerians. I asked you to show me examples of Nigerian Wittgenstein, Shostakovich and Grigori Perelman but you showed something more mundane.The surgeon is quite smart though. Professor Gabriel Oyibo is in that class although his equation is not elegant.
It confirmed my suspicion that Nigerians lack control, emotional quotient , maturity and discipline to build strong institutions but would perform well if they live where such is available.
My nephew a theoretical physicist and research scientist got his PhD at twenty six and lectures at a university in Hong Kong but that doesn't mean Nigerians are smart.
The socio political and economic well-being of a country is directly related to the intelligence of it's citizens.Bank cashiers in the UK hold GCSE certificates but in Nigeria they are graduates and make more mistakes.Ask a Nigerian graduate to show you the pleiades in the night sky and he'll be puzzled.
When a people make choices that are cosmologically insignificant, selfish and meaningless,they become nonentities and their country will be ruined ,mocked and hard to live in.,any bells ringing yet Voting thief a instead of thief b does not make you smart.Smart youths would have formed their own party and elbow out the old. Oh, I completely forgot the youths are also thieves and guns were fired during the SUG elections lol.

They make errors in British banks too. The difference is the oversight, or lack thereof in Nigerian institutions in addition to the Nigerian tendency to try and run everything on a shoe string and cut corners. This leads to banks, including back office, being woefully undermanned as well as poorly equipped.

The other thing that you need to understand is that a lot of fraud and mistakes are covered up or dealt with quietly by banks in the UK.

Clearly you haven't been in the UK long enough to realize how stupid some of the people working in banks are, including investment banks.

You said that Nigerians aren't very intelligent which may or may not be true. The real issue is how spineless they are bred to be. They grow up in a might makes right society, a highly superstitious society and thus believe that those in positions of authority, those with power must have done something right to get there. Your post smacks of such thinking.

Gbagura:
It's from the strike that's been ongoing at the airport for close to 2 weeks now but said they will resume operations tomorrow. We pray they resume tomorrow.

You heard they will resume tomorrow from where?

It's not some, many if not most go to pester others for money.
