First thing first, congrats.. .. God is good, Secondly MS is not a one size fits all thing... pele.. it is well .

MiracleMum:
I also sent a mail, please reply so i can pen my message. thank you.

I've responded..

IyawoToBe:
modath, have you seen my last mail? Want to know the week in august you will b arriving. I have someone in abj at the moment coming to lag on the 22nd

I didn't see it, resend...

Nogen:
Thanks sis. Just a few packs. I'm mostly into diapers and baby formula. They are quite expensive here and I doubt if I will see them in Naija. If I ever see them,;they might cost an arm and a leg. Can't wait for the children to start drinking pap jare.

Pm, check your mail.

Newmum15:
Sorry to butt into your discussion o,pls I'm a new mum and my baby has a scheduled doctor visit and second shot of Hep B too.Is it that it's not necessary?

No butt in here, we are all here to share & learn..

I'm more disposed to our naija immunisation schedule cos the child is coming back to live so i'd go wit that.

Nogen:
Please is anyone coming to El Paso soonest? Please inbox me. I need an urgent help- 2 Ghana must go sacks, the new ash colour type. It's very strong. Want to use them to pack diapers and wipes to take back to Naija.

Babe, you do not want to buy wipes from the US, especially if you live in lagos, those things weigh a ton & the difference in price is non existent.

Do an experiment, ask someone to price it for you & compare the price, on another note, you paid for baggage allowance, you may as well gbadun it...

mavinc4u:
Hmmm. Mr knowall, what use is a dollar in a wallet if it can't be spent? Please read all my comments on nairaland with full understanding because I speak in parables a lot, don't be quick to type. Thanks

For the avoidance of doubt, if you have any transaction to do, Stanbic has no restriction as at today 9th of Aug.

[b][/b]

mavinc4u:
stanbic always believe in working hours just like when they changed their rate. Meanwhile that message was also confirmed by standard chartered customer as they received same message.

10th is tommorrow, still have 500k limit for today.

drlawizle:
What I mean is dat can I wire money abroad with my normal savings account at the 207 rate?

Ask from @stanbicIBTC for precise info.

mavinc4u:
Okay, try it on Monday because the mail said it would take effect on Monday though is already effective on gtbank's card.

Why should i wait till monday? Moreover Stanbic didn't send me any mail so......

drlawizle:
What's Stanbic MC?

Stanbic mastercard.... As for the dorm thing i dont know much about that but i do know i was able to pay 2270 with my card @ 199.5.

drlawizle:
So you mean if I wan wire money to oyinbo man...they'll just change it at the rate of 207?

Yes boss... but their PTA (cash) is 208...

@mavinc4u,
I have the mail in my box but im not using GT, dont even have more than a few dollars in my GT cos of their useless & exploitative rate.

Im using Stanbic, someone was able to effect a 1,455k$ with his stanbic MC today.

Will report my findings, relax...

drlawizle:
And GTBank dey charge like 229..their father!

, ,dem grand & great grand join too. :

Not to late to join the stanbic train..Follow @stanbicIBTC to know MC daily rates, GT has become a purely local bank for me, I nor get money to dey dash bank..

drlawizle:
You mean Stanbic's conversion is 207? That's fantastic!

It was 199.5 for months before it was reviewed upwards on monday... i love that bank

@stagger,

Kindly report your findings so i can know if i should still effect the wire transfer... thx.

Onegai:
Modath, how come you're leaving so quick? Did you get your LO immunization done (I want to try and wait for mine before I head back to Nigeria in August by Gods grace).

I have a giant baby & two big babies back HOME that i not only miss so much but LBK is shacking them as well& they are counting days to our reunion when we communicate.

LBK already got the Hep B shot, we've gone for PAED visit,(6days post birth) & we are only scheduled for another visit @ 6wks with no plans of vaccination ..

They dont give BCG or ORAL POLIO here so wetin i dey wait for when i know my baby is going to be raised in the north.

I was given T-DAP the day after delivery to transmit to him(how that works out i no get )... If not for a C-s, i would have changed my ticket to return in this coming week cos i got his BC & Blue Pali 10days after his birth. I just decided to not use Tanko or Eddy since naija visa is not needed urgently... gave it to the go to guy in the windy city for a 280$ 10 days TAT..& finally morika aint my home.. , i miss naija's chaos......

makzeze:
Yes, you can only withdraw in Naira.

Simple question: can you go to a bank in US or England and withdraw in Naira ? I dont think so.

The tone is a bit judgemental & to answer you, US & UK banks have never allowed such so....

david22uu:
you have two options to do with them, either you sell it to people who will wire it out (inflow) or u convert it to naira

I do not want to sell, i want to leave it in the acct till further notice incase the price of crude oil refuses to come of its present home in the dungeon & the govt decides to stop giving USD as PTA.

Moreover, its not up to commercial quantity, its just a bit above 5k+ change...

mavinc4u:
You have 2 options to withdraw, either in naira or dollar but if you choose to withdraw in dollar who would buy it from you.
Meanwhile, another news is that the maximum daily limit withdrawal for any transactions is now $300 be it POS, online or ATM.

I'm not selling cos i got it above the banks' 197-200 buy rate ..... I already have the money, i over prepared for my plans here & the stanbic card i brought with me ensured i didn't spend much of my cash.....

From my understanding, its 300$ across ALL platforms, so its most likely 900$... will do an experiment today, take whatever 60k ( don't think that's up to 300$, even at STANBIC's unbeatable 207) can give me from the ATM & still try & buy stuff that will exceed 200$ & see..

Will report my findings as soon as I'm done.

Any truth to the rumour that ALL internationally wired USD to a Nigerian DORM bank account will automatically be converted to naira??

denko:
From a reliable source from the presidency one of the key advice obj gave gmb was to deploy mazimum security in the niger delta region to protect oil facilities in that region.

Is anything wrong with that ? .. Security is of paramount importance to any revenue earning entity especially in a volatile region...

mummy2be:
no mind modath jor go ahead I dey your back

Yeeeparipa, ori iya mi o, LBK please remove your mouth from that left booby, it haff do you, , , Where is my bum Short? Its going down.... *senior beedam hold kimoni, dont let her pass back door run ooo*

Nogen:
Where in Nigeria did you book. Klm VI office gave us 95k plus a baby.

I'm flying Turkish Airline, my husband did @ their sheraton Abuja office,..

Obiwannn:
Frm wt am seeing here, e be like say na stanbic get lowest rates. I alrdy hv active accounts in UBA, FIRST BANK, FIDELITY, SKYE and dormant accounts at GTB and DIAMOND BANK. As I would soon start making heavy transactions that would require a fairly low exchange rate, should i proceed to open a stanbic savings account? and if yes, is it the same normal docs which one would use in opening an account at other banks that i'd need for it? thanks
cc- modath, mavinc4u

Na stanbic sure pass.......

I efing hate English language....

Ego le?

When dem begin beat u, i go look the other way.

shimk:
was at d dulles airport yest to see ma oga off n get my baby's ticket. got it for 357$.
asked bout d luggage thing
its 2 luggage each per person of 23kg and 1 23kg for d baby.

Wowza!!! , thats s bit high...why didnt you book through the Nigerian end? Got my baby's tix for a $115 with tax.

Not going to work.

I told friends the no cash deposit into a dorm account rule was a mere band aid on a festering sore, until we diversify our economy & are no longer 99% dependent on imported goods, the naira will continue to swing back & forth like a pendulum....

mavinc4u:
that bank rate would be N240 and above this time

.. oh ye of little faith but there is no way anyone can rival 267 that my friend got charged few days ago by Access bank, she has recovered from the shock though but the card is presently in incarceration.. Not gonna see the light of day anytime soon.

zaynie:
Snr Modath.....shhhhhhhhh.....dont loud it nah , ok you can have 10% of my own share.

Lioha, we cant wait to have you with us

I resemble the merciful God wey 10% dey do, Na mean bone full my body, 60% or no deal.

@kimoni
I hope you know I'm one of those kids hated in pry sch cos na we dey write names of vernacular speakers & noisemakers ... senior beedam must hear...

Sincere9gerian:
@Op..,it is "buhari-phobia" that is moving the 18
containers. Look well!

The same "buhari-phobia" is fixing the refineries and is responsible for improved power supply from the gencos and discos

Yes to your questions, even if you meant to be sarcastic ... Lazy people have hands, they just chose not to use them productively.

Your hero may have procured the trains, like the power improvement issue, he lacked the competence & will power to ensure they were appropriately utilised ...

MissEse:
Nice. Not looking like those trophy wife we see daily

She's pretty, she just doesn't photograph well, been on a flight with them, curteous lady with well behaved kids...

FINA4804:
. Yes, I don't know your quantity yet but I can buy all you are bringing. Just let know, pls check the date oh

Its 2016 up.... I know its going to be up to 35 at least cos each tin is about 400g & my spillover is close to 10kg..
