Business / Re: CBN Stops Sale Of FOREX To BDCs by pat1612(m): 7:43pm On Jul 27, 2021
They should even stop exporter from selling dollars to individuals and companies at higher rate and bring the export proceeds in system to compensate for import bill.
Export proceeds sales at 517-520 Naira per dollar is even higher than black market rate.
Business / Re: CBN To Supply FOREX To Banks Only by pat1612(m): 7:30pm On Jul 27, 2021
Bankers have converted this scarcity to money making they will still come and say no dollar from cbn is only small allocation if you want you pay premium of 50-60 Naira per dollar as settlement to bank.
Everyone know this parallel system worst then bdc itself.
God help us.

. undecidedYes yen yen bullcrap .......I also have friends and people I know that died ...and guess what.... Non is covid ...and for the stat before a single covid death maybe there will be like 200,000 to 300,000 deaths from other more serious and even preventable illnesses and conditions .......don't use ur late friends as yardstick to push for this crap ...... A disease with less than 2% mortality isn't something that we should be threatening ourselves or overemphasising it just look too lame ....even European countries who are hardest hit are calming down

As you say everyone has a point of view and I respect yours.i am not pushing anyone to believe what i say i just put my point of view towards a situation and you did your nothing to be upset about it.

For all people who are doubting this let me tell you is real and if you don't get serious about it as i see it will be worst than most of countries as healthcare here is non existent.
Also if you say there is no covid let me put this two of my friend died last year of it and this week one tested positive as i write this he is in home quarantine.
Please take it seriously if you care for your friends and family. God has shown mercy on this country in terms of covid lets not take it for granted.

Virgohills:
So it happened on the 22nd of January 2021.

I wanted to buy a Toyota camry 2013 for a client who already sent me some money to buy it at budget of 3.9m or 4m+ if seen. So I was in search of this car here and there. I checked all car platforms then I saw a red Camry 2012. I call the number (I had no true caller on my phone as at this time. We spoke briefly, said she will get back.

A woman later reached out to me saying we just spoke concerning the camry, that one has been sold. But I have another one at Berger. How much do you want you spend I said 3.8m even if its 011 or 012 its ok.

She said fine. Start heading for mile two. When you get there call ife 07039281760 he is my boy and he waiting for you at the office. I called. He told me to drop at UBA in Berger that he will pick me up. When I got to UBA i dropped called and he came. Then i followed him to see the car his madam said i should come and buy.

I saw the Camry it was super neat. I sent it to my client. He loved it. He just called said I should go ahead and buy it for him. I said okay.

Actually the car cost due to its grade is around 5.5million. But the person the phone who led me here the supposed madam of ife assured me not to worry that the car belongs to her and her husband and she has spoken with her husband that I can make payment to her and she will sort it out.

Meanwhile she already told the people there whom are the owners of the cars that I am just a mechanic that I came to help her confirm car and that she is the one pay. That they should let me test drive the car.

If you have bought and if you are interested in nissan almira stallion motors is selling brand new almira 2016 in same price range visit there showroom at gbagada and find out.

If I could only do proper investigation on this matter, I am certainly sure this was an "Indian girl fell for this nigerian guy" issue... I work with Indians... even if I haven't heard how they go nuts with obsession for their women over there, I know the ones I've worked with here, they're very jealous with women generally.

graceajunwa:
Hi am in a bit of dilemma my husband and I are both civil servants am also a lawyer and our take home put together is about 260k per month. We have two kids of ages three and four we have a good opportunity to travel to Canada with a job offer but under unskilled worker.

Am thinking of a better life for my kids but a bit confused cos of d fear of d unknown. Will it be wise to leave our jobs considering Canada has a good education system secondly we also intend schooling when we get there so we can get better work places pls what ur advice on this we are really in a fix what ur opinion for those that have been there

if you can take my advice dont try it life will be hell in paradise for you.
you dont have job secured and u are totally dependent on an agent one of my frnd was doing same but the agent ran away with money after all stories and grammer he gave to them.
you are government employee here and a lawyer if you can try hard you can have good income here. remember one thing once you earn in dollars you send in dollars it will br hand to mouth for you and i assume you are alteast comfortable here with income and have a house and a family to care. once thr you will be working all time to pay bills.
as a lawyer here you can still make extra income by drafting petition and other stuff lawyers do.

ok good to see this if happens in India most of rural villages and people their in uses smartphone even the ones that are illiterate. i have seen it first hand because of competition in telecom sector now at cost of 1500 naira people get 1.5gb internet daily plus free calling within india(search for Reliance Jio before saying is lie).
and people commenting about lack of toilet govt in india is providing 50k naira to built toilet to each and every village under its swach bharat scheme.
you have to see it to believe it.
every country has it problem shortcomings but every country is different in terms of development.
India with its huge population and vast geography is trying to become a develop country. can we say same for nigeri??
rather than bashing and hoping negativity if it happens it will be wonderful to see Nigeria grow.

The only things that your interviewer is interested to know is
1.Are you financial capable to take care of your expenses throughout your stay in USA forget about part time jobs that you will do you need to have sufficient funds to cover you stay food clothing and all expenses. They check your bank statement how funds have come to your account is it one of or a steady flow. This help them to decide the fund is yours or u arrange it from somebody to show balance in your statment.
2. The interviewer want to make sure that you will come back to your country ones you have finished your schooling. The responsibility of proving it is on your shoulders as you need to have a rock solid reason to come back to country like your properties or your fathers business or your spouse back home. Also if you have any close relationship in USA and interviewer ask you about it like do u know anybody in USA?? Mind it that interviewer knows about it and its in your best interest to tell truth.
If you can manage to convince him on this two points your visa are most likely to be issued.

See lies all around so much money they get everyday from registration of product that are registered up and down Apart from money they collect for registration unofficially.
And i even heard they are going to increase cost of registration almost doubling it. Still they take more than 8-10 month on average to register a product. Last I started registration of product was 8 months back and i have not still received it because they dont have money to go for inspection of facilities after they have collected moeny for registration and inspection.

This one is not new whenever i travel in and oit of lagos immigration officers even customs ask for money. If you pay you zoom of all stress if not you will be stop at first customs check before boarding second at immigration desk after security check one more customs desk and then when u reach to boarding gate they check u again for dollars u r carrying again customs grin
If u know the drill and u know how to tackle them and u r not carrying anything illegal u can boldly tell them oga i am not paying u a dime.
When everyone passing through airport starts saying NO is when they will stop asking but in order to avoid stress we find easy way out to give them 500 or 1000 naira and walk away
I know wrong things are happening at airport in lagos but if u are right u won't pay. Most of time my transit is ethopia another african country and i have never face same stres as i do in nigeria.
But still things can work here hope for best people will change grin

The economy is not at all stable is just being manage by cbn. If u belive me or not at present the cbn rate at interbank market is 363 and rising where as black market is 360 how i know this because i bid for forex from CBN.
If a businessman cannot access forex at reasonable rate how can u expect him to decrease price of goods imported
As economic is driven by demand and supply rather than forcing it by pegging exchange rate let market determine it than you will see how mismanaged economy is.
Coming back to topic any organization whether govt or private will not pay from the pocket at end of the day is consumer paying it either is increasing taxes or increasing price of goods.
If i am right and can think wise this is it,what ever increase in salary that will be provided will be from same money given to you as salary.
