iReport:Abeg, are you really a Nigerian or from Niger republic  which corruption did he fight? He was just witch hunting political opponents. see watch is happening to Ribadu and El rufai now. Oby sold many govt houses and land to his cronies and you have to impetus to say he fought corruption? Bribery and corruption became ripe in his tenure. Nepa became worse. Security deteriorated. Riots escalated. two communities were wiped out. But like every other ex Nigerian leader, Nigeria only remembers their Faults and not their successes and the reason is very simple:THEIR FAULTS ALWAYS OUT WEIGH THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS  |

Trivial, since this is your first post, i'll be quite frank with you. 1. You just registered for this topic 2. you're a staff of intercontinental 3. you want us to widen our battle ground Now, i've got a suggestion for you. Please, if you've got complaints about another bank, start a new thread and we'll take it up if there're facts to back it up. Personnally, i'm interested in this because every member of my family has accounts in IBPLC. i've had mine with them when they were Equity bank and i've operated my account since 1997. I never had any reason to complain publicly because i'm a businessman and charges like 50naira per withdrawal on an ATM doesnt bother me. All banks do that, even abroad cos i use an ATM here. So, if you want to start another thread that you want Nigerians to contribute to, come out with facts and we'll all contribute. cheers |

[b]The protesters arrived the LSE with anti-Obasanjo slogans and placards accusing him of heightening the tension in Nigeria's Deep South, introducing anti-people economic reforms, haunting down political foes, corrupt deals, and wanting to manipulate the Constitution to stand for a third term. They arrived the venue early enough to deny Obasanjo entry into the lecture hall. He was later smuggled in through the Students' Union cafeteria. "The NLF considers it a public duty to stop people like Obasanjo representing Africa anywhere, because he represents the same failed face of Africa. We cannot afford different versions of Mobutu, Idi Amin, Bokassa, Conteh, Marcias Nguema, and their ilk representing us," NLF Co-ordinator, Kayode Ogundamisi, said in a statement. "Obasanjo has the traits of the worst tyrants in Africa, but he seems to have the international community under his spell. They overlook his indiscretions and scandalous crimes, and shower him with credibility when he should be cooling his heels in jail or hiding away in one remote corner of the world, far, far from decent people!

London Lecture: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo pelted with eggs, tomatoes By Rafiu Ajakaye Senior Reporter, Lagos On Wednesday, African students kept their word in London, where they besieged the London School of Economics (LSE), and warned the world that former President Olusegun Obasanjo represents the ugly face of Africa and does not merit the honour of having him say anything on any subject on the continent. "He was held hostage for hours, with protesters throwing eggs and raw tomatoes at him. He could not immediately leave the venue even after the lecture," a source recounted from London. Scores of protesters were injured as they engaged the police in a bid to enter the LSE building. And Obasanjo was booed in the hall as he spoke on the unrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where he mediates on behalf of the United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon.

I can say with authourity that any person who is being tribalistic on this forum about this issue, has never travelled abroad. cos once you leave Nigeria, your only identification is your Passport and it Bears the name NIGERIA, not your tribe |

My question is how did that guy clear which ever airport he took off from? 87kg is a lot and knowing the kind of hassles one has to go through at Murtala airport when travelling, cos these customs guys always open all my bags before i wiegh in excess luggage. They sniff at everything and sometimes try to embarrass you. As far as China is concerned, That young man is DEAD MEAT. As far as China and the world is concerned, the Guy is NIGERIAN, not igbo or yoruba, or Ijaw, or hausa. Even if he's from Sudan they dont care. he has a Nigerian passport and thats what matters |

Unlike Nigeria where we practice DEMON CRAZY, UK has real human rights and people have the right to protest anything they deem fit. Just 2 days ago, residents of a city in Canada seriously protested the arrival of Bush to give a speech there. His first speech as expresident. A lot of people have reasons to be angry with OBj. Its on record that Nigeria registered a Mass exodus to foriegn countries during his 8 year tenure than in the past 20 years put together. why? |
| Romance › Re: Why Did You End Your Last Relationship? by samparian(m): 1:27am On Mar 19, 2009 |
I ended my relationship with her cause we were not meant to be. We even got engaged on her birthday. I threw her a lavish party which stunned her and her family. Then things started getting bad for me financially after our engagement. Nothing i did ever worked out. I became broke and later heard she was cheating on me with her old boyfriend. I saw his many text messages on her phone and confronted her. she asked for forgiveness and i forgave her. men, i really loved her. I finally broke off our engaement when my prayer team told me she was the cause of my financial troubles and if i went on to marry her, bad things will happen to my family. i initially dieagreed with them, till i became really broke that i didnt have 100k to call my own. imagine this, , barely 4 months after i broke up with her, i became a millionaire. I'm still searching for my real wife now. 1 Like 1 Share |

I'm in China so i have first hand information of how he died. They were shooting the movie "game of Death" and after some scences, Bruce complained he had a headache and was given some pain killer tablets by the movie director. he took the pills and lay down to rest. when they came to call him for his next scene, he was dead. His death annivesary is celebrated every year here in China and Hong kong. They have a big statue of him near the harbour in Hong Kong. its a tourist attraction. The house he used to live in Hong kong will be transformed into a musuem later this year for fans to visit. He is Hong KOng's most Prominent son. 1 Like

ikspencer:As usual, no Nigerian bank will say its unhealthy. I've been a customer of IBPLC since 1997 and everymember of my family owns accounts with them, but i said my piece about this their 10k issue. I'm glad they've resolved that one. Now, since you guys have joined us on this forum, it's MANDATORY that you look into other complains about the bank. It's true that every establishment is out to make money but YOU MUST MAKE YOUR CUSTOMERS TRUELY HAPPY, not just print it on your calenders. Just[b] PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH [/b] |

soloqy:I'm glad IBPLC have come back to their senses. Nairaland is a big forum which nigerians use to air their feelings and thoughts about many things. I've learned a lot from this forum(still learning) I log on everyday to know whats happening back home. I applaud everyone who made contributions on this matter. I wish we can also change the attitude of our political leaders from our constructive posts. May God continue to bless Oluwaseun Osewa for giving us this forum.

Lest i forget, the catholic church started christianity and compiled the books of the bible in the year 350AD. yet, they dont mandate the faithful to pay tithe. Pastors make it look as if you're sinning by not giving them 10% of your income. they use it to enrich themselves, buy fancy cars and houses. Religion is NOW the the most lucrative business in NIgeria who wants to join me? we'll open a church. Pay your tithe church of faith, inc. I'll be the general overseer and treasurer |

How did a pastor get 4 billion naira to buy a private jet? thithing ofcourse!!! what in God's name is he doing with a private jet when there are many jobless and poor poeple in his fold. Imagine!!!!!! This same pastor joins others in saying[b]" PAY YOUR THITHE OR THINGS WILL BE TIGHT FOR YOU"[/b] i'd rather give more than 10% of my income to those who really need it than to these disco dancing, greesy haired, Prada wearing, fancy talking guys who claim to be men of God By the way, the Pope flies Alitalia (commercial plane) |

Like i said before, i dey fear o. this gloabal reccession is affecting everyone, that is why its called, "GLOBAL RECCESSION" Soludo and our banks should stop decieving us and themselves that it wont affect Nigeria. The dollar has risen sharply against the naira and crude price has fallen to its lowest in history, and yet the Mumus we have in government are still thieving and claiming that all is well. All is not well o. I live abroad and i know how many banks and companies that are in the RED, many are being bailed out by their governments. Over here, the banks tell you the truth about them, so you know where you stand, but it Naija, "the truth in this matter will NOT set them free. That is why everyone is lying through their teeth". I dont know if Intercontinetal has liquidity problem(i doubt it, cos my kid brother made a large withdrawal yesterday to pay for his container), what i know is that no bank in Naija will tell the truth about its situation. IBPLC made a huge mistake by asking for 10k minimum balance, A bank which claims HAPPY CUSTOMER HAPPY BANK should know better. NOW THEY HAVE A LOT OF PISSED OF CUSTOMERS. Interesting |
| Business › Re: Intercontinental Bank Has Become Useless by samparian(m): 4:32pm On Mar 16, 2009 |
People are making withdrawals from Intercontinental, not because of the 10k minimum balance which was a FOOLISH MISTAKE on their part, but as a result of rumours such as this one started here on Nairaland by an UNSATISFIED customer.  I still have funds in the bank, but that doesnt mean i'm not scared. Everything thing we do in life is a risk. Like i said before, which bank is safe ?England has almost bought over all their banks, bailing them from crashing, same goes for US, where Obama has lavished billions of dollars of the coporate market. Finally, i've noticed that most people complaining only recommend one bank, GTB. Why Na them sponsor this rumour ? i dey fear naija marketing strategies o GOD HELP US ALL |

Its Shamful that some Nigerians dont know Nigerian History or want to twist it on purpose. Ojukwu and his likes as heros and will continue to be. These are men who have made untold sacrifices for their people. I've been oppotuned to meet Prof Soyinka once at the departure Hall of Murtala International airport in 2000. He was on his way to Uk while i was off to Hong Kong. He is a man i respect and admire. Ojukwu, i met once in Nnewi, but wasnt opportuned to speak to him. I'm really proud of his actions and his sacrifices to Ndigbo. He's my HERO |

[b]My people, i dont know much about banking but i know that when a bank cannot honor its customers' cheques,, then there's a problem. I had such a problem with Hallmark bank when i issued a cheque to a client and he couldnt cash it in their Kano branch. They told him the cheque could only be cashed in Maiduguri branch, where i was. I had to go personally to the Maiduguri branch manager who tried to tell me everything was okay. I quickly pulled all my funds and returned to Intercontinental which i had left because of their refusal to give me loans/over draft. I've been banking with Equity now Intercontinental and they've handled my affairs well. I'm an old member of nairaland and i'll honestly say that No matter their reason(intercontinental), it was a big mistake to increase the minimum balance to 10k. Ofcourse it will cause panick!!!!!!! Everybank in the world is shaking cause of the recession!! China, UK, USA(where it all began), Japan, Australia, you name it. the share prices of their banks are also dropping and many of their banks are still alive right now because of government bail out money and total buy outs! Nigeria is a country where the slightest change in bank policy can cause serious panick. we've had our fair share of failed banks. we're all on edge. I'll tell you all right now that NO BANK IN THE WORLD is IMMUNNE right now. I've got over a million bucks in Intercontinental bank and i'm not running to any where. No bank is immune. so, lets stop bad mouthing where we might be running to may be worse  I just pray all our banks survive the global recession[/b] |
| Politics › Re: CAN Wants Nigerians To Carry Arms (Religious Crisis) by samparian(m): 2:35am On Mar 08, 2009 |
My people, OYB in particular, i was among those clamouring for legalizing fire arms but i've had reason to change my mind. I'm an Igbo man and by GOD's GRACE i survived the mayhem in maiduguri in 2006. it was based on that experience that i was in support of fire arms. I've not been to naija since 2007 and i've quickly forgotten how irrational and insensitive we nigerians can get over trivial issues. an incident occurred here just 2 days ago between 2 nigerians and i immediately thought of the fire arm "mouth battle' we're having on Nairaland. a nigerian made call from a call center belonging to another nigerian and began walking out of the door without paying. when the owner, another nigerian called him back and asked him to pay, the stupid naija man began making noise. saying he was being embarrassed because of 2yuen(50 naira). it took the intervention of some naija big boys who were there for the guy to shut up and pay the money. Imagine arming some one like that with a glock or AK47.  please, no matter what the jihadist do to us christians in the north, legalising fire arms will be a big mistake. I think CAN should push for a full military presence in all the northern states, because its always when the military are in the streets, that the jihadists flee. The military should have permenent check points in strategic arears and shoot any rioters on sight. Obasanjo did it when jihadists took over Kano. |
| Business › Re: Naira Vs Dollar: The Crash Of A Pampered Currency? by samparian(m): 5:06am On Mar 01, 2009 |
BAC:Speaking on behalf of Nigerian businessmen,i'd say "WE ARE IN TROUBLE" only God can save us. there are losts of containers at various ports awaiting clearing and most of the owners cant get money to clear it because they depended on the banks for money which is not forth coming. well, i never believed in borrowing from banks, so i'm safe in that angle, but the truth is that the rise in dollar or rather the fall of the naira will cause a scale of infaltion never seen before unless something is done about it. many importers have made orders from factories abroad but cant get their supplies because of the naira crash. i personnally have goods in a chinese factory and they called yesterday that my goods are ready. My people, i cant pay 175 naira for a dollar. considering the balance i'll pay the factory,, the difference is huge!!!!!!!!!!! i couldnt sleep last night. |

an Igbo chief saved his hotel during a fiot because he owned a gun. He just barricaded the hotel and armed his son. and took a vantage position. the rioters saw them waiting and just moved past and set fires to the next hotel and buildings. they didnt attack the cheif's hotel and he didnt shoot at them. After the fracas, he was asked why his hotel wasnt burnt and he told his story. |
