Nairalanders,

I am always amazed at the negativism that
goes on in this forum.

A lot of young people who dont have access
to certain information are always castigating
and abusing those who try their best to
provide such information.

Take the case of hailolive and the likes who wrongly
accuse me of wanting to scam people with
the Turkey appointment details. I am very sorry
for your destiny. This is one of the ways some
of you miss your destiny. Ignorance is very bad.
If you don't believe the information why don't
you just keep your mouth shot or is it your
typing fingers you should keep away from your
keyboard.

A lot of guys have called me from this forum and
they have used the information as provided by
the Turkey embassy. It will be nice if any of you guys
who called me to come out here and set the information
right.

Please i would love any member of this forum
who resides in Abuja to go to House 5 on Amazon Street,
Maitama and look up the information i shared
on Turkey embassy and come back here to tell
the whole house the truth. Or if you have any
friend residing in Abuja, you can ask him/her to
confirm for us.

I am not the embassy and would not know why
they dont have a website or why they chose to
use gmail for their contact but still advice those
who are looking for appointment to follow the
information i earlier provided.

stephedith, have you been able to get the
appointment?

I rest my case.

Olu

Hi stephedith,

Thanks for your reply.

I forgot to say that only about
20 persons were interviewed
today based on the list of names
that were pasted on the board.

I was also told that interview days
are on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays only.

Bye 4 now.

Olu

Welcome to a new month.

A few guys from this forum called
me to assist in  getting Appointment
Interview at the Turkish embassy
because i live in Abuja. A guy called
me this morning 2nd November 2009
and i decided to give everybody here
the right information.

So, i drove down to the embassy at Maitama
and discovered that the rules have changed.
The new rules were pasted on their notice
board and took effect from 29th October
2009.

I read on their notice board that Interview
appointments are now done through email.

You need to send a mail to them with the
following details

1. Send a mail to their gmail account:
visa.turkembabuja@gmail.com

2. Subject matter should read: Appointment
Interview (If not your mail will not be treated)

3.Name on Passport

4. Passport number

5. Purpose of visit

6. Date of travel

The instruction says that you must send the mail at
least 2 weeks before your travel date.

The embassy will reply you within a few days and
once you are given a date, you must not miss it.
You must also come along with originals of all your
document.

So guys, this is the new information you need
and i wish you the best of luck.

Olu in Abuja

Thanks omega25red,

I did google the consulate but couldnt find the
answer. The country does not have embassy in Naija.

I even asked some of my friends running
Travelling agencies and they could'nt help
out.

The Ambassador might have exagerated the figures
but truly, some Nigerians do provide fake document.

We need to change our approaches to requirements.

Provide original document and you will not be refused
VISAs.

My 2kobo.

Hi guys,

My team is interested in attending a conference
in Bermuda in November and i want to know where
we can get the VISA and what is the fee?

I will appreciate a prompt response.

Olu

You have to come over to Abuja.

There are things i can't say on this
forum.

If you are serious call Nike on 07041326037
and tell her that u want to talk to Olu.

Cheers.

My forum takes care of Abuja People.
If you need information on Abuja, you can
rush to my forum http://www.abujacityforum.com

What i can deduce from this is that there is no
perfect solution because most people have had
bad experiences using the various providers.

I know people who use Intercontinental and
Zenith banks' cards that were declined.

Well, if you want to register your domain name
in naira, you can do so at www.web4africa.net,
www.hostplusng.com or www.nairadomain.com

There are so many uptions nowadays.

Goodluck

Hi sir,

You did not mention exactly the reasons
for the decline or rejection by the merchant.

However, let me inform you that i have been
using graphcard generated visacard for the
past 3 years. Graphcard itself is not a
payment card but a platform to do several
things amongst which are visacard, receipt
of cheques, purchase of online products e.t.c.

In respect of your visacard generated through
graphcard, there are only 2 issues always
involved

1. If you do not use a US billing address

2. If you are using Nigeria IP address for
your Internet access e.g Starcomms, Multilinks
Reltel e.t.c. These IPs will be declined though
your visacard is legitimate.

Solution to the above

1. Pay for a US virtual address at Graphcard. It
will cost you $49.

2. Download Hotspot Shield to shield your local
IP from detection http://anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield/

3. If you don't have your won system, locate any
cafe that uses a foreign IP e.g Israel, UK, US, Greece
e.t.c and all your payment will never be declined again

4.Follow Seun's advice by using orderpay.

Indeed, i have heard some other people complain about
having problems with graphcard but many people are still
using it.

Charliebiz has hit the nail on the head. Always have plan B in case
your first option messes up or new rules and conditions emerge.

Good luck,

Love from Abuja.

Olu

I agree with Akin that it depends on
the niche(s) you want to operate in.

There are over one million ways to
make money online. Some are dubious
while many are very genuine.

You can monitize your website by
becoming a domainer. A domainer
is someone who registers a domain
or domain names and parks or sells
the domain name(s) to interested
buyers.

When you register the domain, place
it on your website or a forum like
this and you get paid anytime
someone clicks on your domain name.

Apart from parking the domain name, you
can resell it between $500 and $5000 or above.

Get more information from
http://www.makemoneywithoutmailinglist.com

You can buy domain names for $8 at site in
my signature below and then resell at
high price at www.sedo.com.

Just my little contribution

The funniest thing about all these
violence is that the people from
ND do not know the solution to
their own agitations to the
extent that they now kidnap
and mail innocent people .

The brother of a friend of mine who
is stationed in Delta state was shot in the
shoulder by some of these gangsters
on 31st December 2007 and some
people lost their lives.

I now wonder what the struggle is all
about? Really it beats my understanding.

Hi Haze, how is the Queen of England?

Let me say a big MERRY XMAS to all
ex-Uniport and God bless you all in the
new year, amen.

Yeah Dele9000, one of my boys in the office is in the same school
of thoughts with you. He chose uption 2.

My Secretary could not take a decision . She was just laughing and
finally said; "Oga it is not easy o" and i nearly injured my ribs with
laughter .

My Engineer said he would inform the bank officials because they
will eventually find out and then he might be arrested

Well, i still want to know your own opinion.

It looks as if some people are not given to details.

The question was, What will you do if you found that someone had
mistakenly deposited N650,000 into your bank account and you have
waited for more than 2months and nobody came to you?

What will you do with the money?

Guys please read the following and then give your response

Dear Dr. Don,
I recently got a deposit from a store where I spent $14.54.
The store debited the correct amount, but there's also a deposit
from the same place for substantially more than $14.54. Is this
a bank error or a store error? In either case, how long should
I wait before I can consider it mine?
-- Jenny Manna

Here is Don's reply

Dear Jenny,
It's not a waiting game. You should never consider the money yours.
It's more likely to be a store error than a bank error, since the
bank wouldn't initiate a deposit into the account from the store.
But it's an error in your banking account so you should go to your
bank to attempt to correct the account.

You've been a little bit coy about how much money is involved,
but it doesn't really matter. Mistakes happen in transferring funds
and the parties involved have the right to correct these mistakes.

The Bankrate feature, "Bank error in your favor" describes some
scenarios close to your situation and how they were resolved, but
waiting out the bank isn't the answer.

The full gist is on http://biz.yahoo.com/brn/071129/23544.html?.v=1


Back to you Nairalanders, taking into considerations your financial condition
and somehow you went to your bank to check your balance and discovered that
N650,000 was deposited into your account and you don't know who deposited it.

You waited for 2days, 2weeks, 2months and nobody told you that he/she deposited
money into your account, Fellow Nigerians what will you do with the money?

1. Tell the bank offcials that probably someone mistakenly deposited the
money into your account.

2. Withdraw the money and close the account.

3. Withdraw the money and give it to the motherless

4. Withdraw the money and move out of your present rickety apartment to a new one.

5. Withdraw the money and buy a car

What exactly will you do ?

At times i wonder why abusive words are used on this forum
and it makes me not to make comments on issues that should
be tactfully addressed.

Really, texazzpete i don't think it is nice calling people idiots when
they express their concerns. You actually made your own points about
how people could use parental filter to blocks contents that disturb them.

Please let it be known that it is not just bigafrica or Nigerians that are
complaining about big brother. Sometimes ago, the Australian prime minister
wanted his country's version of "Big Brother" off the air after a female participant allegedly was molested live on the Internet.

Here is the exact words of the prime minister "Here's a great opportunity for Channel Ten to do a bit of self regulation and get this stupid program off the air,"

The fact still remains that children are watching unclothedness and we
must not encourage it.

Hi guys,

There is this new blog i started yesterday (Thanks to the
labour strike that kept me glued to my laptop all day) and
i would want your sincere review on it.

Here is the blog http://debitandatmcards..com/

Olu

If that is the case, then double Ewu to Globacom for supporting
NFA to pay Vogts that money.

Otoks, you got my gist jare.

Don't be surprised that some of the officials made some cool
dollars in bringing Vogts to Nigeria.

Now the wind has blown and we have seen their bumbum.

EFCC should step in and look into the financial agreement with Vogts.
How could we have agreed to over $1million when the local coaches are
not even paid.

Ewu NFA.

"Super Eagles coach, Berti Vogts, has terminated his contract with Nigeria after the Nigerian FA defaulted on key areas of the contract agreed with the German last February.

Vogts lawyers, the firm of Brehms and V. Moers of Germany, have already written to the NFA since May 25, informing them of the development and requesting that the NFA either pay up Berti's compensation - which, as KICK OFF disclosed exclusively in March, could be in the region of around $1.2 million - or renegotiate new contract terms.

Wary about the poor reputation of the NFA, Berti's lawyers had drawn up a water-tight contract containing get-out clauses to ensure his protection from the NFA's now notorious inefficiency."

Read the ull story here http://sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/sportsonthehour/2007/june/06/sportsbreak06-06-2007-001.htm

I have always said it that foreign coaches are not good for Nigeria.

He lost the game against Uganda and then resigned. What a shame.

Nigeria's German coach Berti Vogts blamed the loss on
poor officiating by the Egyptian referee.

I think that is total rubbish from Vogts. He should be held
responsible for the LOSS.

I am not a prophet of doom but Vogts must be stopped
now. He can't take us anywhere. He could not read the
game well and profer strategies for the eagles to win the
game.

This guy does not understand our players at all. I beg, i am
angry that we lost the match.

Haba babyosisi, you no dey fear o . Me wey be 6.1feet tall na im
you wan break im neck. I pity you. Anyway, i pray you don't find
yourself in that situation when your husband will demand that
you resign from your job.

Laudate, thanks for pointing out that it is just a few Ibo guys
that engage in this kind of primitive and selfish acts.

Moreso, you drew my attention to the situations in the North.
Yeah, you are really correct. The Northerners are more guilty. Can
we way that their reason for imposing this backward unwritten law
is religious or cultural

Hi Spoilt, i do agree with  you  that some men just want their wives
to stay at home with the kids. My question is for how long will the wife
remain idle?

Let me add a new dimension to this issue.

I have personally observed that IBO guys get threatened in marriage
when their wives are earning some good salary and thereby use their
Manliness (whatever) to command that their wives should stay at home.

In the case of my above instance, the guy is IBO and very unsecure. He just
wanted to prove that he is a man and i told him that a man does not cage his
wife on flimsy excuses. Can you image that the two of them actually went to
the same University, graduated the same year and served (NYSC) in the
same year.

The lady also told me that the guy actually toated her throughout their university
days but she refused his advances until their NYSC days when she succumbed

Na wa 4 IBO guys.

If you think this is not prevalent with IBO guys then prove me wrong.

AC MILAN will win the match.

I didn't want to make any reply to this post but changed my mind
because i was involved in a case where we had to counsel  a wife
to resign from her work. The husband claimed that their marriage
will collapse and infact was ready to divorse his wife because their
children are not getting enough attention.

He also claimed that his wife does not give him attention.

3rdly, he claimed that his wife's job is not making her more intelligent
enough because she does routine work.

The man violently insisted that she must resign from the job lest he
would file for divorce and he was dead serious about it.

Personally, i was shocked to my marrow as regards the above reasons
and i think it is more than that. I suspect another woman is turning his
head because you guys need to see his wife, very beautiful young woman.
She cried throughout the meeting and my wife even joined her to cry.

The man was just too hard. My wife and i really sympatised with the lady
but what else could we have done but to give some sort of solution that
will appeal to the two

In order to keep their marriage, the lady had to agree to the husband's terms.
We had to request that he allow 2months for disengagement from the job.

I doff my hat for the lady and pray that God will turn the situation for her good.

The simple truth is that her family/marriage is superior to her job

Friends, there are many reasons that can make a husband to ask his wife to resign from
her job. Some are selfish reasons, another might be for health reasons and
some might be or family reasons.

What will you do if you find yourself in that position? May God help you take the right
decision in Jesus name.

Thanks Glessor.

I have called the company and they referred me
to their Abuja reps.

So, for those of you guys in Abuja that need
inverters, you can call Mr. Prapul on 07027857300.

Glessor, please give me details of where you purchased
the inverter. I am very interested in getting one for myself.

I will be in Lagos on Thursday 29th March and would love
to buy one inverter for myself.

Sjayking, you too can send your details to me so that i
can be in a position to decide who to patronize.

Thanks

campaigns running now. still have more than 20 campaigns to go.

even a Product of my own, yet I enjoy the profits in this program.
Olaniyi John. O

I started mine own program just as you instructed. The first check was
$550, the 2nd was higher. I hardly have time to run my campaign but I
still have another $560 ready for collection at clickbank. www.ibsurveysite.com

GoogleAdBiz is very profitable. I started with just $25 and I made $432
profit in 3 weeks. ,  ,  aolsng@yahoo.co.uk

I run my campaign just an hour a week yet i still have at least 2 sales

Hi Minemine,

My company Sephix Limited is at
Suite 29, AUA Plaza, Plot 734 Kade Street,
Behind Tantalizer, Aminu Kano Crescent,
Wuse 2,
Abuja.

Feel free to pop in.


egoldman, I personally don't think you should castigate Goldkobo  and drag
the company into hell. My business transaction with goldkobo has been smooth
and that is why i refer so many people including all my downlines to the company.

I spoke with the CEO of goldkobo about your case and he explained your
situation. I believe you should try and reconcile properly with the company.


THIS IS TO ALL INTERNET MARKETERS AND INTENDING INTERNET MARKETERS

Read rules, terms and conditions of any company you deal with on the Internet
and if not okay with them, don't do business with them. It is your money.
Don't throw it away cheaply.

One of the problems with us Nigerians is that we don't read terms and conditions
of companies and when challenges come we cry foul play.

Let me give you a practical example of the cost of neglecting Terms and Conditions.

I personally lost about $2000 to an american company in 2005 because i disregarded their
tems and conditions. I cried my heart out when my account was terminated.  God and my wife
were the ones that carried the burden with me.

This is my little advice.
