Hi Slimdoug, thanks for this response. I have a question please. I have $317 in my Payoneer account and would love to withdraw $300. I don't have a dorm account but my in law has. My question is, can I add my in laws dorm account to my payoneer account and send the money to him?

And will he be paid in dollars? If yes, since it's not up to $1k, will his bank in Nigeria pay him the $300 in dollars? I would really appreciate your response. God bless you.




You can't withdraw less than 1k directly to a domiciliary account.
Politics / Re: 2019 Elections: Why Nigerians Will Continue To Vote Along Ethnic Lines by Slimdoug(m): 12:31pm On Oct 13, 2018
Omon605:


My brother is the South West not part of the South? Tell me how can pdp win the South West. The battle is now between Ibo and Yoruba. Because whoever emerge as the vice president will filed the next president after 2023. From all the indications pdp have no single governor in the South West and the APC national leader is from there. If Buhari promise to give the south west power once his tenure expire in 2023, guess what will happen, at least he will get nothing less than 65% of their total vote. And let me tell you today and don't be deceive Atiku abubakar will not do better than Jonathan in the North. It will be extremely difficult for him to win in adamawa as still stands now, though we can't predict tomorrow. Let's be patient is to early for all these projection because with time many things will change. Is only Buhari they know as a true northern in the North.

That's what I'm saying. In 2015, Yoruba's voted for the APC, but still the PDP still cleared the whole southern votes. Even with the change, APC still performed poorly in the south when everybody voted against GEJ.

Now that we have witnessed the APC's change, the PDP will win the South again, with or without Yoruba's votes, and this time, with wider margin. All in all, the real battle remains in the North.

P.S: I'm not a tribalistic bigot, and I love my Yoruba niggas. The PDP needs the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa's for a more inclusive government.
Politics / 2019 Elections: Why Nigerians Will Continue To Vote Along Ethnic Lines by Slimdoug(m): 12:00pm On Oct 13, 2018
In the 2015 presidential elections, the PDP lost to the APC in what seemed like a progressive movement to change Nigeria from the old ways to the new way. The APC rode on the wave of their anti-corruption promise and the change mantra. But, did Nigerians actually voted for change? The facts says otherwise.

In the 2015 general elections, the numbers proved that Nigerians continued to vote along Ethnic lines.

Let's take a look at the 2015 election results again. By geopolitical zones:

South-East: APC - 196,248 (7.29%) PDP - 2,464,906 (90.63%) - Winner: PDP

South-West: APC - 2,433,193 (55.7%) PDP - 1,821,416 (41.75%) - Winner: APC

South-South: APC - 418,590 (8.1%) PDP - 4,714,725 (91.22%) - Winner: PDP

Total South Votes: APC - 3,050,031 (24.9%) PDP - 9,001,047 (73.47%) - Winner PDP



North-West: APC - 7,115,199 (83.65%) PDP - 1,339,709 (15.75%) - Winner: APC

North-East: APC - 2,848,678 (77.57%) PDP - 796,588 (21.69) - Winner: APC

North-Central: APC - 2,264,614 (58.79%) PDP - 1,558,623 (40.46%) - Winner: APC

Total North Votes APC - 12,228,491 (76.28%) PDP - 3,694,920 (23.05%) - Winner: APC


FCT: APC - 146,399 (47.72%) PDP - 157,196 (23.05%) - Winner: PDP


Total Votes across all zones: APC - 15,424,921 (53.95%) PDP - 12,853,162 (44.96%)


With the APC fielding a Northerner in Muhammadu Buhari and the PDP fielding a Southerner in Goodluck Jonathan, the North voted for their own while the south voted for their own.

PDP's only defeat in the South was as a result of APC fielding Prof. Yemi Osinbajo of the South-West, but even at that, the margin wasn't much due to the large number of Igbo voters living across the whole Southern region.

For the 2019 elections, the cards are now even, with the PDP fielding a Northerner in Atiku Abubakar to go head to head with another Northerner, the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari. Both Hausa-fulani Descents. The battle line is drawn.


PDP will always win the South

Even with APC's change movement, they couldn't win the South, which houses some of the most educated people in Nigeria. Even the APC's victory in the South-west wasn't as convincing as expected. Now, after three and half years into PMB's tenure, the South-west are now wiser and beginning to realign with the group most likely to bring the much needed economic growth and restructuring we all crave. My inference is that the PDP will win the South again, but this time, with a wider margin.


The Igbos are not politically irrelevant afterall

Contrary to the belief that the Igbos are politically irrelevant when it comes to voting and making decisive electoral decisions, the reverse is the case here. With more Igbos living in other regions than their own, due to business pursuits and their love for migration and cultural exploration, the Igbos have the numbers to affect political issues in other regions other than their own. A look at the last elections comes to mind, with the PDP sweeping almost all the votes in the Southern region where Igbo are predominant. Even with the APC's media bastardization of the then Goodluck Jonathan, and their almost convincing promise of Change and anti-corruption, the APC still lost heavily across the south in 2015.


Nigerians will always vote along Ethnic lines

Forget the sweet political talks and manifestos that are being bombarded into the media, Nigerians are natively tribalistic. From the last elections, you would see that the South-west voted for Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the SS and SE voted for GEJ instead of Buhari, and the North voted for Buhari instead of GEJ.

Don't be deceived that the APC won the last elections due to Nigerians wanting change. No. the APC won due to their political permutation and combination. In 2015, the elections was about the North vs the South, and the North won due to their larger population. In 2019, the political combination for both parties will be equal - this time, the North vs the North - and we will see Nigerians showing their true colors and voting along ethnic lines, again.


The Battle is in the North

With the South already settled for the PDP, the real battle will be in convincing the North to reject one of their own. With PMB and Atiku being of the same Hausa-fulani descent, they would both have to dig deep to convince the Northern electorates that they have the best plan for the North.

Will the North believe in Atiku's restructuring plan? I don't think so. Will the North believe in PMB's passivity and blame game? I don't think so. Both candidates would have to find a stronger reason backed with a Northern agenda to pull crowds in the North especially in the North-west which houses the highest number of voting population in Nigeria.


The PDP needs only 40% of Northern votes to win

With Atiku picking Peter Obi as his Vice for next year's general elections, we can conclude that the PDP will sweep almost all the votes in the South. All said and done, the PDP would need to up their game in the North. Now fielding a Norther instead of a Southerner, the job will become really easy for the PDP to garner enough Northern votes.

With PMB winning the last elections by only 2.5 million votes, the PDP has a chance to topple that margin. If Atiku can get only 40% of the North's total 16 million votes, which is only 6.4 million (I think he could get even much more), then the PDP will be cruising.


Conclusion: I believe the PDP will clear the Southern votes again, just like in 2015 when their rating was lowest. I also believe Atiku will get over 45% of the Northern votes if he plays to the tune of the Northern agenda. With this, I see the PDP winning the 2019 Presidential election.


This is my personal analysis and I owe no one any explanation.

Business / Re: Payoneer Disabled The 'make A Payment' option? by Slimdoug(m): 1:34pm On Oct 10, 2018
Subudu:
Yesterday, a friend told me that Payoneer had disabled the 'Make A Payment' option on his account. I thought it was unique to his account until I checked mine and it was disabled too.
I think they disabled it on the accounts of most Nigerians. With the new development, how do we withdraw our money out through payoneer? I currently have $1k+ in my account and I can't be withdrawing it through ATM.
Does anybody have an idea on an alternative way of getting out payoneer dollars in Nigeria apart from using the ATM option?

Just checked this morning. The "make a payment" option is still available on my account and is working perfectly. Maybe your account has been restricted due to suspicious transfers.

Does payoneer still give the free USA bank account when one do registration as of today?
Is it possible to withdraw from ATMs using payoneer master card if my balance is below this $1000?
Please, what is the new process and also the requirements for oppening a payoneer account today? I ask because it's like it is different now.
Thank you so much bros. I really need your response to help me clear my confusion.

Yes. You can still receive ACH transfer with your designated US account number with payoneer. Once you have a balance, even less than $1000, you can do ATM withdrawals with your card.

FESTAC101:


I have a payoneer account but I've never used it and I want to start doing so.

I have linked my GTB naira account to it, but my question is, since my GTB account is in NGN can dollars in my payoneer be transferred directly to my naira account for onword withdraw via naira ATM?

Pardon my ignorance, I've not used payoneer to withdraw before.

Sure. You can withdraw straight to your Nigerian bank account. But the catch is, you can't withdraw less than $1,000. They will also charge you $30 or so per withdrawal. Again, if you withdraw to your Naira savings account, your bank will do the exchange on your behalf for about 332/$ instead of 360/$. So, the best option will be to get a domiciliary dollar account from your Nigerian bank which you can receive your funds into, and then exchange for $360/$ with a local exchanger.

The bank rate is usually not favorable. Around 332/$
Business / Re: Payoneer Disabled The 'make A Payment' option? by Slimdoug(m): 8:47pm On Oct 09, 2018
If you have up to 1k, you can withdraw directly to your Nigerian savings account or domiciliary account. That's pretty straightforward.

I'm really surprised that someone can make money and still be stupid. Why are you so dumb that you can't contact your bank through their email or phone number? Your bank has a website and social media accounts for God's sake.

That's if you are not a scammer trying to throw a bait.

Crime / Is It Fair To Arrest Your Close Friend For A Crime Or Not? by Slimdoug(m): 10:49am On Aug 02, 2018
My close friend, almost best friend (although I don't trust him completely) has formed the habit of stealing my money or other items whenever he comes to my house. We've had issues before, but as guys, I'll just free him as I've not caught him red handed. But I'm pretty sure it was him.

But yesterday night, it happened again. He called me exactly when I just got home that he was on his way to my house. No problem, he came I went to take my bath. We chatted and he left almost immediately (usually he stays late). Fast-forward to this morning, I found out some money was missing. Due to today being Thursday with the environmental thing in Lagos, I brought some money home in order to help me make early payments for a client's job, but now the money is short.

I've called this fake friend of mine and called his bluff straightaway, but he is still denying it. I've told him never to come anywhere near my house or myself, but I still feel like I should teach him a lesson as I think he is taking me for a f00l. Now is it fair to arrest this guy? He is almost my best friend safe for a little skepticism and distrust from my end. But I feel I need to show him that I can't be taken for granted. Is this the right thing and would the police stress be worth it?

The job paid me well, and i was able to save a substantial sum of money in five months before being fired last week by my boss, i was double crossed by a co worker and my boss replaced me with him, he got what he wanted but thats not my problem, i already got what i wanted. My problem now is what to do with the money i was able to save.

I have skills i am eager to put to good use but i don't know if it'll bring results, I'm good with website creation, graphics, writting and a bit of programming, so i was thinking of getting myself a costly laptop capable of handling everything and hone my skills/passion, delve into fiverr and freelancing, then start a gaming blog, the first of its kind because I'm a game addict. Is there a way can succeed with this plans?

Lalasticlala please help a brother

Hi. Since you are a game freak, you can invest in a good enough but not too expensive laptop and a keypad controller. Also get a good enough video camera and tripod stand as well as a lavalier mic for audio. Start a youtube channel and just explore, play and have fun with your audience. On the side, you could also improve your programming skills for freelancing on fiverr later. Popular learning sites include: Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp and Udacity. You could start with html>css>python>javascript>java>SQL and so on. just try and make use of the time you've got. Enjoy!
