@All,

Below is a little experiment for the true hustlers:

For same Depart and Return Dates.....

Emirates Airline: LOS - JFK = N1,200,000.00

Emirates Airline: ACC - JFK = N580,000.00


Meanwhile in other NEWS!

ARIK Airline: LOS - ACC = N78,500

GIG Bus: JIBOWU - GH Park = N25,000

Leg Is Faster Than Bus: Seme Border - GH Park = FREE

Save your money...fly, bus or trek to Ghana, and fly via ACC to your destination.

OK. To clear the air on the new forex regime, there is nothing like official rate anymore.
CBN will only participate occasionally, they have appointed primary dealers.
With this new regime that will start on Monday, anyone can work to any bank or primary dealers and buy FX at the rate that market forces will determine.

The rate could be 250 today and 400 the following day.

BDC guys and the abokis would close shop soon cos no one will be patronising them.

For intending America mamas, it's going to be mixed feelings, BTA/PTA will be probably be abolished. While your Form A will no longer be at the rate of 199 or whatever, it will now be determined by market forces of demand and supply.

I hope it's clear a bit for my people here.......

@ALL,

Just so we don't mix things up.
1, Not anyone can walk into the bank and request FX, you will still need valid documents to support your request and also the transaction you are pursing must be one of the approved transactions as per CBN regulations.

2, The Mallams will still remain very active because like the CBN governor said there are still 41 Items excluded from the interbank window meaning if you are one of the people bringing in any of these 41 items, you can meet aboki for ur FX as you won't qualify for interbank.

3, We will still have BTA/PTA pecked at $5000 and $4000 respectively cause even when our foreign reserve was flowing like honey wel had it pecked for control purpose. So with interbank regime, it will be alot easier to access unlike the past 16months but it won't be abolished.

So Mamas here is how to survive it and save some money...the IOCs often sell FX to the banks and these sales should resume again as they can now get more Naira via the interbank system unlike in the past 16months where banks are not allowed to buy at a margin over CBN official rate. Whenever you hear in the news that CBN intervened or any IOC sold money....call your account officer and push your demand forcefully cos those are the points in this regime that you will get a fair rate.

And for those of us that love to buy from bank via PTA/BTA/Transfer or whatever and sell to Aboki and become millionaire overnight...eeeeyah market dun close, na change dey there now.

Nogen Nogen Nogen
Why are you being diplomatic with this ur selfish and greedy in law
This matter was discussed in detail in Part 2 of this thread,page 105 to be specific,ifegy posted a link,click on it and let hubby read the way IRS handle such criminals.
If America is no longer conducive for your in law he should come back home or go sell a kidney in Malaysia.wants to mortgage the future of 3 babies
So pissed

Kidney lon lon...hehehehehe sho le to yen ni?

SSN can ruin you even b4 u start your life. Ordinary London my wallet was stolen/lost on the bus home. I nonchalantly felt i should handle the issue the next day before I woke up the next day my credit and debit cards had been tried on TMobile and 3 for contract phones, my NI card was in my wallet and it was presented by the fraudsters alongside my IDs....i know a friend that can never own an account in UK because of a fraud committed thru his details which he knew nothing of but still fighting it till 2mro.

So your hubby shld think of your babies future ooo.

And like Bisoye said good Kidney for Malay is always in demand.

Ramen noodles all the way then!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all mamas and mamas in view on here.

That awkward moment when you realize a 70cl bottle of water is $3.

For these stress and sacrifice alone God will make our LO leaders in thier various fields and generation.

*In Daddy GO's voice* Let Someborrri shout hallelujaaaaah!!!

Has anybody actually bought Dollars below 300...please confirm and lets know where....cos i have personally called 4 BDC dealers in Lagos today and once they give me qoute and i say bring i go buy...the next thing is "Oga i no dey around right now"

I know alot of gimmick is been played with this dollar/naira issue (this na for the politics section)...My advice is if u get a qoute below 300...BUY!!!!!!!!!!!

mrsbw:
okay guys..wanted to wait to be debited before confirming the Form A stuff.

I intend using Dr La and WHMC. WHMC does not accept wire transfers, so I got Dr La's wire transfer details.

I went to Stanbic IBTC on Thursday for the processing.

Documents required:
a) Letter of reference from specialist doctor, or specialist hospital in Nigeria -
b) Completed Form A
c) Passport, visa and air ticket
d) Correspondence with overseas specialist doctor stating the cost of treatment etc.

Filled the form; requested for payment of doctors fees only (paid $3,000) and included my doctor's bank details. The requirement doesn't state just hospitals can be credited. It only states that it must be for medical treatment. So, I guess if you can provide your doctors correspondence (with his letterhead) and they can match it to the bank details. I guess they can also check the doctor online if they want.

Got debited the ffg this morning: Transaction: 598500; telex charge: 4000; offshore charge: $25 = 4987.50; Bank commission 0.5% = 3142.13
Total was 610629.6 which came to about N203.5 per $.

So you can actually pay for just doctor or doctor and hospital if your hospital accepts transfers.

Noticed in the CBN requirement page that if the doctor includes cost of maintenance, that cost of treatment can be made payable to the hospital and the cost of maintenance to the applicant if the applicant is an outpatient; but I did not explore that oh. Only paid doctor's bill.

Also, I had initially gone to UBA and they said they dont process Form A for childbirth. GTB said I'll be on a wait list for at least a month. Went to stanbic after @onlineise post on Wednesday, and it got processed in 48hours. Thanks so much @onlineise you are a life saver!

Pls remember to collect your telex copy from the bank as proof of payment

Hope this helps cc: @biollar1 @chloe7 @kemo88 @beautyx5

Nice one @mrsbw glad i could contribute my own qouta to the ministry.

Goodluck

I just got a quote from mallam $/N 370 ... I feel so sad for this country. And people like me never even born 1!

Hi Peeps,

I understand Medical FORM A is still being done at Stanbic and its even faster than PTA. Someone got her hospital credited yesterday and applied on Monday.

So take advantage of it now while its available.

Regards.

HD16:


I used Form A to pay for part of my fees in El Paso. Used Stanbic IBTC. Process was very fast. Deduction from my naira funded account was made the same day I requested. Hospital confirmed payment the next day. Rate used was 199.5. The only caveat at Stanbic is to make the request, fill the form, provide documentation and all before 3pm. Anything after 3pm means the transaction will be delayed till the next day.

When was this?....Cos I doubt if they can still do same day with the mountain of demand b4 them....please confirm.

So the $100k allocation was not approved by the Gov....sorry to be the bearer of bad news...implication is that the scarcity might be tough next week...till next Friday (except a special intervention is approved b4 then)...however the likes of Stanbic that sells from other sources apart from CBN will still sell so be aware.

Sorry Mamas!

nefertitiram:


Will they sell pta against a may trip?

Most banks will say NO because May is in Q2...However nothing stops you from applying now and keep your fingers crossed.

emeldamicheals:
Does it mean there is no hope for PTA again? As in I cannot get PTA for my travel nxt week.

You can still get PTA...BUT even if you are travelling in summer please buy now and save it...this whirlwind might soon capture PTA/BTA too. #enoughsaid

Street/Blackmarket ti take over!!!

FORM A hopefulls ....

CBN, banks to stop forex sales for medicals, school fees | The Sun News
http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cbn-banks-to-stop-forex-sales-for-medicals-school-fees/

Its another Friday tomorrow...the CBN MIGHT sell the usual 100k meant for PTA/BTA to banks as directed by the governor.

My people here is the catch...all banks will get this 100k, however while most of you are busy queuing for FBN, UBA, Stanbic, GTB etc....You forget Sterling, Skye, Unity, Wema...my point is, this smaller banks donot have the queues for FX as much as the big banks have...authoritatively I know 1 of the 4 big banks i mentioned above having close to 800k in PTA demand unmet/outstanding so why join the queue...please spread your net and be close to your friends in the smaller banks and hope for some good news.

Meanwhile shoutout to the silent readers that take infos here and run ahead of the regular mamas...I think say na rumour b4 but i dun dey see am now

wolefola:
@onlineise,with your story I guessed ur was lady in front of us on Saturday cos I also took my first son for the interview. I was surprised when she was denied the visa cos she was so calm and cordinated.I got scared too cos the man was not ssmiling but the answer he gave to ur wife about the visa dat will soon expire was affirmative. I think you can give it shot and I thank God my son was issued visa.
