[quote author=A-town]Sending money from Nigeria will not be profitable for them. How many people send from nigeria? Maybe the few students studying abroad that need money etc. Compare that to the billions sent to Nigeria every minute.
Besides, wire transfers already exist that are actually cheaper than the western union service so i think it's basically a business decision. If it were profitable, they would've jumped on it by now[/quote]If it is profitable in Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Gambia how come it is not profitable in Nigeria? If only you know the number of people sending goods to Nigeria on daily basis and want quick return of their funds. Wire transfer takes days sometimes a week if it has to go through many intermediary banks.

Also Nigerians shop a lot overseas, sometimes prefer their friends and relation abroad to help them check what they are buying before shipment.

Nigeria is not just filled with hungry people that only receive money from overseas to feed. There are a number of Nigerians doing much better in Nigeria than their mates overseas.

BedLam: don't blame them..... Money laundering...... Your politicians.

If they know what they are doing, money laundering can be controlled, it's matter of making the service available only to account holders with their partner banks same way banks control money laundering via wire transfers.

Why is it still not possible to send money through western union from Nigeria but one can only receive in Nigeria? Or has that changed?

I think that should be the 1st thing Western Union and the likes of Moneygram should address.

ODENIG: @OAM4J
I like this,i want you to look at the posts clearly in Politics it appears as if some tribes are being hunted.Yorubas are my best amongst the tribe in Nigeria,but for the likes of Femi Fani Kayode to come with debate that breeds bad blood is not what our generation need.Most post countering FFK are being deleted but insult and derogatory words used by FFK are being published within a split second.I have earlier mentioned in the post that if Seun refuses to address this issue i will seek to write a world petition against Nairaland.A social media meant for interaction should not take side with any individual that want to make himself god in Nigeria.People promoted Nairaland and same people not tribe might bring it down.What is this bitter truth about Igbos being voiced out from a bitter mind .Please read in between lines on FFK essays.God bless Nairaland And God Bless federal Republic of NIgeria.

Please we need evidences. Give us links.

Thanks.

ODENIG: @OAM4J
It seems i have been banned .This is not fair for group like this fighting people when they write what you dont like is no a mark of civilization.I sent my complaint still it is not showing any where.

Which moniker was banned? Because odenig is definitely not banned.

Sterling Towers: The mods at politics section just closed a thread on Femi Fani K*yode thread opened by sterling towers,s the thread was rebuttal by FFK and not the old one, I urge you to re- open it forthwith and be more careful in the future. Thanks
