Intuition & logic, a combination otherwise referred to as "common sense" is quite in dearth. Perhaps, this is debatable.
But, on countless occasions, I have witnessed a situation whereby people basically ignored or fail to see a fact/an idea that was impressively nudging their consciousness, despite (claiming) painstaking search for such fact.
One of such occasions is the close-scrutiny/detailed-analysis of the choice of GMB's personality & profile as being the right candidate & panacea for the change in governance outcome which we strongly advocate.
I can't just fathom why some people don't see or consciously refused to acknowledge the answer they seek in him

The greatest monster of this nation is corruption.
And despite the huge efforts of our past & current leaders in effecting good governance, all have been the proverbial tale of the "Àbíkú" rendering the diviner/herbalist as fake & fraud!.
And the reason is not far-fetched.
None of them has ever made anti-corruption as a primal item in his agenda.
We are not talking here about some wishful shadow-chasing activities.
The brain-box of the nation's government function - the Civil Service, is riddled with corruption in Gordian knot manner. You need an Alexandrian character to slash it.
No meaningful development can occur atop these ruins of foundational pillage.
These attributes are well established in no-one else than GMB among all the leaders we have ever had.
In addition, he has been singing only one tune since 2003 which is "Anti-corruption" song.
And as a Presiding Officer in 2011 series of elections in Imo-State where I did my NYSC, I watched during the Presidential poll as the oppositions in huge number came together in coalition to massively vote & RIGGED (putting me & my assistant under coercion) for PDP!!
I just shook my head then as I reasoned within me wondering how people could, in unanimity, chose to be blind, mortgaging their future, gleams of hope & breakthrough away!


But, then, I have certain fear with GMB meeting the expectation of his teeming longsuffering fans & believers.
And these challenges are :
* the separation of power in democracy.
* the profligate & highly-corrupt legislators.
* the peculiarity of our system e.g the religious divisions, the ethnic issues, large population size, the federalism style of authority/control sharing etc cetera.

The prolific antecedents of GMB in the context of the fleeting developments we ever witnessed in this nation occurred during the military junta era whereby the legislative & executive machineries were combined/merged into one producing what you call Absolutism.
Which is why I keep thinking Nigeria is probably unripe for adopting the system of nations we are modelling after.
Those nations do not have the 2 latter challenges outlined above, which as a matter of fact forms an indelible feature of our nation's default modus operandi!

I keep asking myself, providing GMB operates within only the confines of his granted constitutional power/authority & his personality/characters won't allow him to do "some inside trading" or lobbying as the learneds call it, how then is he going to :
* curtail the NASS extravagances?
* restructure the Civil Service, gleaned off his garbage & rots ?
* handle the overly sensitive, edgy & impatient nature of the Nigerians? (because rebuilding/reparative/healing process takes time, is not without heavy cost & invariably causes pain).
* check the thwarty moves of the NASS? (I can bet my 1-year emolument that a time will come when all the NASS members will unite, APC representatives inclusive, to remove him).

Otherwise, the story might be same.
Because the shrub has overtime matured into a gargantuan "Iroko" which now houses invincible chaos-causing deity demanding heart-rendering sacrifices from the people.
We are observing.

[b]I really pity you and feel your pain.
More than half a million is a whole lot.
Mr Ademola would certainly not know peace as he has taken peace away from a fellow human.
Mr Ademola is about loosing a Container loaded with 4cars to Customs Auction and am sure those vehicles too are owned by Nairalanders too.
It still baffles me why someone would collect money from client and spend it all on personal use. Damm the guy really has liver ooO.
My advise is that you involve the police to recover your hard earned cash.
If you need a pointer in the right direction then call me.

The punk ass dude owe me N520,000 too as balance of shipping a container with a 2013 BMW,1999 Camry,2002 Camry and a 1999 Accord. and just recently told me to go ahead with anything I can do as he has no interest in clearing the container.
I would do my best to get the said container Gazetted to me but I just wonder what tales he would tell the owner of the cars in the said container?
Dude is wickeddddddDD[/b]

He told me about the container & the contents all along.
The problem was that it seemed as if the container accumulated demurrage whose value was more than the the content's.
Hence, no seeming profitable wisdom in clearing the container.
There was even another container/vehicle that was in your custody which he changed the deed title in order to settle another female debtor of his.
He really messed up.
How to recoup my cash is my major problem.

In fact, the plan was to clear the 1997 Accord & then balance him 300K which I was ready to give him considering that Honda Accord Bulldog is way overpriced at total money value of 850K, aside the time wasted (about 7 months) & the emotional/psychological turmoil.
He rubbed fresh highly-concentrated salt into my injury by asking me to forward the 300K first before getting the car.
In order not to potentially get burnt 2nd time, I erred on the cautious side.
Told him to clear first & then I'll pay him.
But he simply could not come up.

andresia:
you got a mail

Thanks & God bless you.
I will surely act on your mail Sir.

andresia:
Thanks bro. One thing that I find curious is that so many pple have fallen victim to same fellow, yet none deemed it fit to shout out but rather choose to remain silent allowing more pipul (including me) to fall victim. It was only when I came out to reveal what has been happening to me that some of them came out. My coming out also prevented many from falling victim.

I PM-ed you but I didn't get any response.
Kindly send me your e-mail address.
A post about my ordeal with him is on your thread.
I need your help seriously.
He's owing me 562K.
I have been thinking, up to the point of causing me depression, how to get my money back.
My mail address: seyiogundipe@gmail.com
Thank you.

petikal:
You have to bear in mind that your contract is really with CBN, not your bank who's merely a representative. Whatever stop/marginal rate CBN offers for each tenor goes across ALL banks, and their bids are usually not far off. This is because CBN states the marginal rate before opening up for bids. So, if a bank bids a rate higher than the marginal rate, it'll be rejected, and one that's <= will be accepted.

The difference between banks is the percentage they deduct from you for their service, which is negligible.

Thanks for the whole time & energy.
I appreciate deeply .

petikal:
Banks rarely give you CBN rate, unless you're an excellent predictor.

Here are your possible outcomes:

- You specify 12.3%, and bank wins at 12.3%, you get 12.3%. Bank makes no money.

- You specify 12%, bank wins at 11.98%, you miss out. Your money stays in your account.

- You don't specify a minimum, bank bids to their best max and wins, you get the winning percentage minus 0.2-0.4%.

Thank you very much.
I sincerely appreciate.

But you raised more dust for me.
Kindly pardon & oblige my inquisitive ignorant mind.

Does that means different banks/agents get varying rates depending on their bargaining power?
Let me paint a scenario.
I give a minimum point of 12% for 182 days to my bank Stanbic IBTC who bidded 12.5% and the CBN final rate for the week is 13.5%. Meanwhile, 1st Bank & Union Bank bidded 13% & 13.5% respectively

What is the outcome of the above illustration?

Thank you Sir

Elai147:
No. Bids that are equal to or lower than the CBN´s stop rate will be successful. So it actually depends on your bid.

Thank you Sir & may God increase your knowledge.
Please, I have 3 followup questions to your response which are:
* How do the banks (as my agent) make their gains?
* Can the bank's bid differs from mine e.g supposing I place a bid of 10%, can the bank go to make a bid of 13% with my money?
*How does one ensure that the bank does not jeopardize my bid or trade?

NB: Pls, anyone can kindly answer me!

Pls, can someone kindly help me with this enquiry.
Is the same rate applied for all customers irrespective of their agents/banks?
I saw a post above me quoting 9.9% whereas another person posted 10.05-13.4%
Why the difference?

Are you still in biz Sir?

Good morning & wishing you the very best of the weekend.
How can I locate in Uyo (Akwa-Ibom) or Calabar (Cross-Rivers) the branch offices of :
*ARMS
*KGIF
*FBN Capital/Money Market.
*Stanbic IBTC Mutual Funds

Then, I noticed no one talked about Union Bank!
Is it that they don't operate Mutual Fund service?

GAZZUZZ:
OP this is how it works, your plugs were probably never bad in the first place, possibly a rich mixture caused them to fail, the rich mixture was caused by bad 02 sensors. Also you have bad wheel speed sensors.

Now you have serviced injectors (waste of time) replaced plugs (should have just cleaned old ones).

The new plugs will still get dark and fail, CEL will start blinking soon. You will damage your catalyst in in the long run, and I stand corrected but the speed sensors may affect gear shifting and presently your ABS does not work.

Advice: if you can't pay for standard service, don't think the roadside is any better. Replace your O2 sensors and yor wheel speed sensors.

P.s if you can't afford new O2 sensors you can get tokumbor at 5k a piece. Thaose wheel speed sensors cost arround 5-7k for new ones. The knock sensor might not be bad.(Leave it till a re-scan)

I thank & appreciate your counsel on behalf of PaKen.
Thank you.
God will surely reward your benevolence!
You are a rare breed!

I
Till this verymemory and I know how I feel.

I have always known that serial killers & severe intimacy offenders exist among us.
It's just highly under-reported.
More so that our forensic system is very weak.
And the quest for basic needs as a direct consequence of the prevalent poverty/suffering does not even give room for looking out for such.

Through Grimaldi at Nigerian Port

Good afternoon Mr Adexfem.
Kakakibuy spoke very good of you.
I believe he communicated with you concerning a 2004 BMW 320i which I'm highly interested in.
However, the hitch is that I can only run around & get 1.3M.
1M will be the least manageable fund to put it on Grimaldi Line.
Please, is there what you can do g or a brother concerning clearing it with 300K please

Mailbox is : seyiogundipe@gmail.com

How least can you clear a 2004 BMW 320i ?
Can you do a genuine complete clearing for 300K?
It is through Grimaldi Sir
