when you are busy with productivity in your backyard you won't have time for unnecessary partying that adds no value to you. Jobless African leaders will be jostling to get a front seat at the event, they will even waste taxpayers' money as budget for attending the event. Eg. PMB, I wonder the millions of dollars that will be wasted for air craft parking space, babariga, and hotels for other delegates from Nigeria. Wake up Africa and brake the chain of idleness. When will Nigeria join the big Boys



On point!!! The itinerant president will never miss this one, this is the area where he has a medal in his 8years rule.

I have Peugeot Boxer Buses that go to all Nigerian States, please could link me for goods destined to Lafia, Benue, Enugu from Abuja?

Veryvery educative, kudos for your selfless service.
Thanks

I sell all the vehicles listed above... Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen LT, Volkswagen T4, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper. The Ducato, Jumper and Boxer are cousins and use similar engines. But there are several options to choose from in both diesel and petrol engines. They are very good and super strong. The Ford Transit is equally good and handles very well.

What should determine your choice should be purpose which you stated, size of usual load to determine engine option that will serve, tire size and reinforcement of the shocks. Your location will also determine availability of technician and parts and even availability of fuel type in your area - diesel or petrol.

The VW LT and Mercedes Sprinter were jointly developed by both companies. They share the same petrol engine but different engines for diesel models. Many mechanical parts are interchangeable. These are horses that will serve you any day.

If you are going for the Fiat/Peugeot/Citroen then go for the 2nd generation, 1996-2001. Though very scarce and expensive, the petrol versions are better considering the cost of diesel. Parts are abundant and mechanics are available if you are in Lagos. The diesel models are also still very good. Petrol is well above 4m if you can ever get while diesel is about 3m.

Ford Transit is cheaper. Petrol is also scarce but available for 2001 models and below. Perhaps the shape of the old models may be a bit too old for your type of business, all the same they are good.

The LT and Sprinter are very good and even stronger to me. Though they look similar but the sprinter is usually more expensive even from the point of import because oyinbo believe this is Mercedes. Petrol versions are almost now non-existent in the market. But their engines can be replaced with Mercedes C class petrol engine here if you must. Clean LT is about 3m+ and sprinter is a bit higher.

If your goods are not so heavy and not so big, you may want to consider a long chassis VW T4 petrol which are available in the market. Fuel consumption is much lower, maintenance is cheaper and mechanics and parts are available. I am saying this because of the current realities. Fueling the larger diesel vans could cost up to 80k for 100 liters of diesel in their big thanks. Their fuel versions are scarce and expensive. Depending on the orders you have to fulfill, you can burn 80k in just one week and over 300k in one month on the diesel vans but much lower for a T4.

You will hardly see that kind of business ,if there are you would see a lot of people doing it.. I actually have $300 investment that am making only $1.50 daily that's half a percent of the Total amount .,if you see good business that's not too risky and you are making steady 1% of your total investment daily with all da peace of mind , you should be thankful

How far with Adekuroye? She no de Japan?

Very very surprised, Odunayo lost her first fight to Nichita A. Of Moldova this morning. She has been eliminated in the 57kg freestyle wrestling. Very disappointed, upon all the hype.

galaxy2020:
...

Someone on this thread said she lost already, who do I believe? I no be buhariooo!

She has not participated in any fight yet, she is scheduled tomorrow being 4th August in the 57Kg Freestyle wrestling. I following proceedings, if you are not convinced, go to Tokyo Olympics website and check under "Schedules & Fixtures, select wrestling u will see her name there with the opponent

galaxy2020:

She will fight tomorrow August 4th

Blessings just lost to the American opponent. However, a big congratulation to her for winning a silver medal

ubee:
The degradation of this country continues unabated across every area of endeavor, and at such a torrential pace that i fear for our future for even the next few years.

was it not just the last olympics that we failed to win a single medal? Not one!

When tiny countries like Gabon with a population of about 1.6 million at the time took a silver medal, Nigeria with a population of 160 million didn't take even one.

We keep on being pillaged, embarrassed among the community of nations because of the vampires we call leaders.

Look at this latest case now, what is the explanation of the athletics federation for failing the facilitate the process to ensure the athletes get tested as required?

Why are we being subjected to this humiliation unabated?

London 2012 Olympics, no single medal

FalseProphet1:
When I prophesied that the Nigerian Olympic team will win 3 medals, everyone came for my head and ignored the reality that our team went to the Olympics badly prepared. From the looks of things I see them struggling to even win the 3 medals.

This I have seen.

3 Medals? In what event? I'm not sure Nigeria is going to win any medal, I don't wish them bad but let us face the reality. At 2012 London Olympics games Nigeria did not win a single medal, in 2016 Rio, Brazil Olympic games Nigeria came back home with only Bronze medal in Football won by that Team coached by Samson Siasia, this year Olympics Nigeria could not qualify in both male and female football. I'm not convinced with the Team Nigeria at this Olympics

Governor Samuel Ortoom has been bold enough to criticize Buhari for being behind the blood-bath in Benue through his fronts(the evil blood-thirsty Miyatti Allah Cattle Breeders), that I must commend him (Ortoom) for that.
But he (Ortoom) needs to do better in the area of his state economic, development and security, he cannot sit and be crying like a wailing woman everyday, diverting attention. I'm a proud Benue indigene but I'm not living in Benue, Ortoom has not done anything meaningful for the past 6yrs that he has been in power. I do visit the state atleast once in a year, my governor hasn't done any meaningful development, both the state and federal roads are very very bad, the military airport is moribund, nothing seems to be working. There are a lot of resources in the state but the state lacks visionary leaders.

Reading through the comments, I saw people saying the wave or ravaging ocean waves would flush them into the water, that the guys cannot survive but these comments are definitely from people who know nothing about the structural design of Ships. I'm a Sailor and I can confidently tell you that those guys were just sitting and waiting on the Ship's Rudder while the Ship was in the Port, Anchorage or Dock Waters, the moment the Ship set sail, the guys will go into a Compartment where the Rudder Trunk is(that section of the Ship is above their head), from that Rudder Trunk compartment there is no way they can get access to the main Compartments in the Ship housing the Engine Room and other machinery spaces but they can stay in the Rudder Trunk compartment till the Ship gets to the next Port of Call while they survive on the little food rations they normally carry in their bags. Aside that there is a Manhole from the Rudder Trunk compartment to other machinery spaces in the Ship but that Manhole is always butted and screw-tight, no human force can open it from the Rudder Trunk end where the guys are, so in most cases they start to hit the Iron Cover of the manhole when the Ship had sailed after about 3days or more, the hitting create huge noise making the Ship crew to know that Stowaways are inside the Rudder Trunk (by that some Captains would order for the space to be opened or they report to authorities), but there is a regulation by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) not to do them any harm nor maltreat them, any Ship reported doing otherwise will be sanctioned, it's a serious issue, so even when the Stowaways are found onboard they are always pampered, receive any possible good treatment till Authorities come to pick them. Please note that these Stowaways understand everything about where the Ship is going, they know when the Ship is going to set sail, some even pay money to Agents or informants who have a pre-departure information about the Ship.

Please financial Experts in the House, I need your help on PAYE tax.
Can Personal Income Tax for a contract worker who is earning monthly but his contract duration is less than one year be calculated on pro rata basis? Would it not be unfair to multiply someone who earns like #700k monthly (for a 6 months contract) by 12 i.e pa and use the Personal income Template outlined by the FIRS? Seeing the person is earning per contract duration and not annually, can his PAYE be calculated based on gross earnings for the contract duration? Please I need ur inputs .

Sorry to derail!

[quote author=ernie4life post=85846714]Do you know that bond funds(BOND MUTUAL FUNDS)are still doing above inflation rate?

Please, can you recommend any Bond Mutual Fund with rate above inflation rate?

My mail to stanbic MMF is bouncing back, saying there mailbox is filled up, anyone experiencing this too?

Same with me, I sent mail to them 2 times last week and it bounced back. mutualfunds@stanbicibtc.com(it's the email address I have been using to mail them over the years )

rationalmind:
Mansard with this their dubious as at .....You never really know what the rate is. They'll come on the 31st of December and say rate is so and so as at 27th of December.

Whatever happened between 23rd and 27th no one knows. What this means is, the investor cannot independently verify the daily interest. I won't be surprised if the management is siphoning funds.

They don't update the rate daily on the investor's dashboard so it's difficult to calculate the daily ROI

fungirl89:
AXA rate is 10.25% as at 23rd Dec, 2019

Good, I confirm it on my Axa MMF Dashboard, still 10.25% while my Stanbic MMF Dashboard is showing 9.03%. Just hope the rates go up next year to actually reflect the current inflation rate.

odimbannamdi:
How do i go about this? I am okay with such ROI

Great, with this speedy processing of Redemption request, stanbic MMF is becoming flexible like a Saving Account.

Allow me recommend a trick

Open multiple pro-cent accounts and run the bots on them. Or while using the bots on a percent account, with the aid of your workstation ( VPS + Trade copier ) duplicate the positions using these setup onto your standard account. And enjoy the massive benefits


BTW, FX isn't about speed but consistency, little but gradual accumulation or you try to scale-up your funds on the account

Many thanks Sir

I use robotic software (EA) and it has been very impressive, the daily return is low(around 10-20% monthly but it's consistent), it works only on brokers that allow pro-Cent account, not standard account so the risk is reduced. Also PAMM with authorised & regulated brokers is good with minimal risk

Non TB related topics can be discussed on weekends.

I have a stock market investment WhatsApp group, which focused on investment generally but with a bias for the stock market. But weekends are free days when we discuss as the spirit directs.

Sir, please add me to the Group. 08110094859

What are the options for one to top-up Stanbic IBTC mutual fund account? Thanks.

You can top up through bank transfer using app or pay by Bankcard on their website(www.stanbicibtcfundsmanagement.com) or stanbic app. Remember to put ur e-account number in the Remark or Naration space.

STANBICIBTC Money Market is super, today in the morning I requested for online redemption of part of my investment in MMF, this evening my nominated bank account was credited with 2.5M. Bravo Stanbic Mutual Funds !!!

richforever123:
I really appreciate your kind response, for mutual funds is it a possibility that I can withdraw the proceeds monthly?
I really appreciate your feedback, thanks so much

I don't know for other Fund managers but with STANBICMUTUAL funds it's possible, when I was in school, I filled a form nd instructed them not to re-invest the accrued interest but to pay to my bank account( the account i submitted was Diamondbank) the accumulated interest at the end of every month, they were doing it this way until I instructed them to re-invest the accrued interest.
