Business / Re: Multichoice Rejects French Firm, Canal Plus' $1.69bn Offer by smugmanuel(m): 2:54pm On Feb 06
santaclaws:


Streaming? Well, DSTV doesn't need your internet connection to function and streaming services are majorly for movies and series (unless you want to pay on multiple streaming platforms to watch sports like DAZN), DSTV offers much more than that. There's a wide market for both media services to co-exist, so I wouldn't say that. Netflix cannot show live football matches, so what are you talking about?

Bottom line is that $1.6B is a grossly undervalued sum for Multichoice as an African multinational media company, the largest of its kind.

IPTV will show you everything. All the live matches in the world. So you are wrong.

Business / Re: Effects Of Illegal Use Of Post No Debit Restriction. Do You Know Your Rights? by smugmanuel(m): 12:46am On Jan 27
Please I need your advice.
I sold a car to a customer, the only problem with the car was A/C blower which I fixed before the buyer took delivery of the car.
They traveled from Lagos to Asaba without any hassle but according to my customer (the buyer ) he said the car started overheating and they found out the water pump is bad . I agreed to pay for that. The following day he called that the transmission won’t engage. First I thought that they want to rip me off. After we argued about it , I agreed to fix everything for him. They sent me the bill. It was when I want to send them money I discovered I discovered my account has been placed on PND. I had to send money from another bank to my mechanic who’s in contact with my customer mechanic them who later sent them the money. I called my customer and ask why he took such step, he said I wasn’t picking up my calls when he was calling. I told him I already sent him message that I will call back after evening service. It’s 3 days now and I still don’t have access to my account and I’ve fixed customer car and case closed but my account is still in PND. I’m thinking of taking legal action. What do you advise?

Politics / Re: Senator Kalu To Igbos: Don't Expect Anything From APC-Led Federal Government by smugmanuel(m): 9:59am On Jun 23, 2019
Ekpeitit:
Finally we have an intelligent Igbo man.
Yes,politics is a game of loyalty and reward,you support, you win ,you get something.
You don't support, you lose,you get nothing.
Only an Igbo man will expect to get Senate Presidency from a party they didn't vote for,a party they don't even like.
Funny how the Igbos think they are very smart but they are actually the most stupid tribe in Nigeria.
In 2023 they will do the same thing, vote for the wrong party again but expect to get all the juicy appointments after losing the election.
MUMU PEOPLE.
Mr Judas Igbos don’t need their juicy appointment or help. Left alone, Igbo people can do without the federal Gov’t. After all you guys have been in power since the civil war, the eastern region is far more developed than north and south west. Igbos task themselves to develop their community. If the government gives them the chance, they will come together and build that second niger bridge. You all know that. A government that can not protect their own people in the north can’t protect anyone. Fulani has surrounded southwest in case you’re still sleeping, please wake up from your slumber. This government has no direction, and igbos will do better expecting nothing from them. After all last 4years they did nothing and the Igbos still succeeded. Wake up man!

Religion / Re: #whatif: Daddy Freez Is Correct About Tithe? by smugmanuel(m): 12:10am On Jan 29, 2019
You just said my mind. Let me add tinkily thing to it.

If you wanna pay tithe with your money, pay it to your parents. They need that money and the blessings that follow it is beyond words. If you wanna pay tithe , pay it to motherless babies homes, charity. In reality God needs you and not your money or tithe. He owns all that and besides they are all vanity.
OkCornel:
When pro-tithers are ready to show us where God specifically mentioned money as part of the items to be tithed, then they should know that monetary tithing is unscriptural.




When God required money for the needs of the Temple, He specifically mentioned where all Israelite males should be levied a temple tax of half a shekel every year. That was an instance of God clearly asking for money.




BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS CLEAR WHEN GOD ASKED FOR MONEY TO MAINTAIN THE TEMPLE... NOW LET US EXAMINE GOD'S REQUIREMENT FOR TITHES



Based on the above verses, God clearly mentioned what is titheable, and money was not part of the items to be tithed.

IN CONCLUSION:
So any fraudster that comes with the excuse that money was not in use because the Israelites were predominantly farmers and cattle rearers...should read Exodus 30 v 13-16 and explain to us why God demanded money from these same Israelites...but specified crops and livestock as tithes in Deuteronomy 14 v 22-29;

Also, I'll be waiting for scriptural references where God made tithing mandatory for gentiles as well.

Business / Re: Business I Can Start With 400k In Lagos by smugmanuel(m): 12:01am On Dec 09, 2018
eurogee:
Yes this is Eurogee of steemit. There is no truth to this whatsoever. I wonder why people derive joy in misleading others.

I saw this and in order to minimise risk, I reached out to other steemians and we contributed money to buy a j5 full load. No1 the reporter here makes everything looks appealing. What it costs to fill a j5 is a far cry to whts stated here. The price of the paper same thing. The price is never less than 2k as the reportwr would have us believe.

I was personally involved in this to get the full details. We got to the location and the price was far higher around 4k to 5k+. I was accompanied by another team member who is fluent in hausa. When I found out this, I wanted to return home and give people back to their money. The guy prevailed on me that we should just buy it like that to test.

Eventually, the we bought and it was taken to Lagos, sold at between 7 to 8. Settled the union members there. At last we do calculations and the lost was just obvious.

Even if everything went well, you hardly can make more than 80k f profit from a j5 full load which in reality cost not less than 500k to load one full j5

You can try and see for yourself.

Thanks



[quowte author=golddeejay post=73425747]

Eurogee steemit? Can you kindly tell us what led to the 40k loss?

Please let me make it clear to you that for you to be successful in a business you will have to fail to learn.

From your point I realized the business is profitable but you chose not to see it but chose to see the loss.

1. You settled the union: With how much? What does it cost to join them and minimize thoe cost of settlement if you really wanna be in that business.
2. I kinda understood that the price fluctuates and therefore you need to have someone who lives in the north to make purchases when the price drops. You went there when the price wasn't favourable. You need to learn from it.
3. Dust up yourself, learn from your failure and start all over again.

Darkchick:
You can buy a small bag of pepper for #1500 in Azara market Kaduna road, and sold it's sold at the rate of #6500 in Lagos, a J5 bus can carry up-to 90 bags at one trip and they charge #110,000 per trip. Let's calculate.
#1500 * 90 = #135,000
#135,000 + #110,000 = #245,000

A bag to be sold for #6,500
#6,500 * 90 = #585,000

So.. #585,000 - #245,000 = #340,000.

Bro, # 300,000 is sure per trip.

There are many cheap stuffs you can buy from the north and resale in Lagos. E.g you can get matured goats for #4,000 each and resale for #12k or 11k.
The good thing is that you don't sell by yourself, dilaali (Hausa dealers) are readily available to sell for you while they charge a token from you.

You may think you're too big for these businesses but I bet the profit is cool.

Is this fresh pepper or dry pepper? If it is fresh how long does it take to sell it all off? Including the dry pepper.

Talking about tithing, you as a Christian should obey Gods commandment. Jesus spoke about tithing in Matthew 23vs23. Play your part and leave God to do the rest. Paying of tithe and giving of offerings isn’t by force but it’s a commandment.
Autos / Fraudulent Car Websites In USA. by smugmanuel(m): 1:33pm On May 14, 2017
I would like to use this medium to warn my fellow Nigerians about these fraudulent car websites in USA.
Please my country people never make or transfer momey to this people.

1. qualitycarguys.com
They are on facebook and on LinkedIn. Please never deal with them or you have yourself to blame. Once they get hold of your money they stop taking your calls. Go to Facebook and see few people they've duped and counting. I'm a victim as well and I wouldn't want any Nigerian to fall a victim. Will post other websites as time goes on.

Business / Re: CBN New Forex Rate Policy Announced by smugmanuel(m): 9:30pm On Jun 15, 2016
Well for a lay man understanding, it simply means, cbn no go de control price for buying Dollar or vice versa. But sometimes dem go intervene if things Waka pass him boundary. So everything come fall for demand and supply. E.g petrol price was pegged at 145 but due to the decrease in demand some stations de sell below 145. I even bought mine at 135 at Asaba. Increase in demand leads to increase in price and decrease in demand , the market go crash. I go stop for here. Hope say I try small? grin

If the news reads, 'man insult a police', it must be a yoruba man. But if it reads 'man stab a police man', we all know the people that does that.

Romance / Re: Lesson i Learnt Today About Girls And Their Way Of Life by smugmanuel(m): 10:56pm On Jun 11, 2016
Looks like this happened at Oko poly. The girl in question had her wedding at Enugu. Well any relationship that starts in schools do end up in school most times. That guy should move on.
kevin25:
A guy in my neighborhood was dating a girl for a long time, I knew them as the best couple. The guy doesn't joke with anything that concerns the girl affair.

Today being June 11, this particular girl is getting married to one guy like that and the worst part is that not only that she breaks the guy's heart but she didn't let the guy know about her marriage plans Till today.

The guy in quote is very unhappy and was calculating how much he has spent on the girl since they started, not that he has a lot but he is trying his best to use the little money he has at his disposal to solve the girl's needs whenever they arise, no matter how big or small just to show the girl that he really lovers her.

I felt so bad for the guy but on a second thought I ask my self what is the need for dating? why do girls pretend they love you just to be with you for a while just to gain something from you and most of them know that they can't be with you for long still they persist on staying, by so doing l, they end up chasing away those that has the intention of staying with you forever..

Everyday is a lesson I have learnt my own today...I hope your learnt yours, is better to define any relationship to avoid the stories that touches the heart.. Define it so that you don't spend your hard earn money on a girl that doesn't value it..spend because you have not because your thinking that the girl will be your future wife where as she sees you as an ordinary friend..if you don't have, don't try so hard to impress because no matter what you do on this earth, you can never impress a girl...
