My opinion? Here is my opinion.

Cost of foreign wire transfers dramatically increased and the service is still f!!ucked. Imagine there was a mistake in a form I filled and I was never contacted even when they have my phone number and email ON THE SAME WIRE TRANSFER FORM.

After a week and the recipient called me from Europe, I had to go back there and the st!upid funds transfer officer told me "they would have called me but they did not have my number"!

You dey see insanity?

Another point. Every time I receive money from abroad, it is always $30 - $40 short. When it is credited to my account, they still take charges. Every withdrawal, they take $10.50. I have asked several questions as to where the missing $30 goes and they never have any answer. I can confirm it is not from the sender's bank, because they usually take their charges from source and I know what has left from the recipient's end. I always factor that in.

Nigerian banks are stealing brazenly from customers and no one seems to care.

So you ask me about Segun Agbaje? As the head of the institution that keeps taking my money for no reason, f!!uck him!

^^^^^^^

It certainly looks like it is converging, or should we say that the parallel market is dragging the official rate down with it.

I have big bucks with FXDD and Dukascopy, although i contact the broker and made a deal with them have no problem with FXDD

FXpro is too Good for 10k, i trade more than 10,000% with multiterminal of that with them, i have no issue

Good to know. But no company is too big that it cannot be run down by bad management, taking investors money with them.

One day, I should be able to trade $1,000,000. I just need to sell a $100 product to 10,000 people and I am there. Abi no be so?

Odiaero,

Me I dey fear these Cyprus based brokers.

Can Fxpro handle an account size of close to $10k without my hearing stories? I wanna move from my present broker so I can trade using MT4. I just developed an EA on one of my strategies and I need to start using it.
I know they are heavily involved in sports sponsorships but that alone is a concern to me: are they getting new business as a result of all the sponsoring of Fulham, Aston Villa, Rally racing and now the Asian Champions League?

Bc all this spending is a one-way ticket to a company going bust if not properly managed and they somehow have a way of covering it up until it blows in people's faces.

Pls comment!

People are quick to run to conclusions about who is 'lazy and deserves to be scammed'. So stagger' point of view is not a surprise to me at all.
Abayomi's YAHOO BOY DNA is still at work. However,its very bad that he incorporates the name of God in his devilish acts of deciet. I'm quite sure he will go down soon. The same time frame he gave to bizmogul is the same he gave to me. His words: 'Am very sure in the next three months the blog will be sold', Fastforward to over a year and six months, no show. Please boys and girls, lets spread this. Abayomi Aje doesnt know the spelling of truth!

Ok, since you want us to start throwing punches, let us start.

If you cannot spend time to learn a business model and run it yourself, but prefer to hand the business over to a self-confessed "ex yahoo boy", what should I call you? HARD WORKING?

Use your head. Which is easier for Abayomi to do? Charge 1000 people money and then take forever to complete what he charged for, or to collect money from you and focus on selling your blog? If he focuses on only your own blog to sell, where will he get time to sell the blog of the remaining 999 persons? How much can one person do before he is overwhelmed and starts dodging people he has collected money from?

You see why I said many of you that pay money to "experts" to generate money for you do not use your heads to think.

Look at all the scammer alert threads here. The same pattern. Yet people still fall for it. What do we call that one? SO yes, I still stick to my view. If you cannot use your time and energy to learn and work out how to run a business model yourself, then you have no business doing that business, and you should prepare to take whatever you get from doing otherwise. Simple!

I kind of think the Dow Jones will have a short term rally today. I may consider entering a short at 10775 which represents a short term resistance. This is Day 1 of DJ30 trading for me.

Forex is making me a bit dizzy now and I want to diversify. Naijababe, na your hand we dey o!

Ha ha haha hahahahaha!

Mein Gott! Wer ist dieser Narr?

Kai! Wetin person do go hear for this world?

The Nigerian Police never takes cases of r, ape serious. That I know for a fact as I have been involved in the prosecution of cases like this in the past. Female policemen are more sympathetic, but in a situation where I do not know if there is presently any sitting state command female COMPOL in Nigeria, such comments from the Abia COMPOL will continue to reign supreme.

What is Enyeama's concern if the plane stops for refuelling or not?

Nigerian players are the most compensated national team. many African countries do not pay half of what they collect as match bonuses.

If Enyeama feels he is too big for the Super Eagles, he should get the f, uck out of the team. There are thousands of goalkeepers who will prove themselves adequately.

Rivers money for rivers people. That is the result!

I think it is time we say a capital NO to these world bank economists!

When will Nigerians and the Okonjo-Iweala boot-lickers on this forum realise that she is going to turn Nigeria upside down. That woman has absolutely nothing to offer! NOTHING!

Can the OP tell me where in the East there is a single town with good roads, not to talk of decently planned housing and stuff like you have in the FCT?

The East is a dungeon. Why would anyone want to move the capital there? Methinks OP needs to have his head examined for even contriving such a thought.

bizmogul:
I have seen so many post about Abayomi Aje and it is really disappointing. I try to ignore them all and not post anything to damage his reputation but I think I have had it up to my neck and I am sure he would understand my reasons for doing this. I attended one of his seminars, I had no money at that time so I traded my Nokia 6760 for knowledge, I did not get the full lecture as I had to travel, he promised me 3 domain names and hosting that I got and was glad. He then asked me to pay 85k, he will register 6 domain names, build a website and sell them for me at price ranging $200-$1000. I paid the money sometime in January and expected to get returns by March but until today it is story upon story, he does not pick my call anymore, if I call with another number he picks and then it's stories, this is September. The bad thing about him is his poor customer service; he even rejects my calls without ever calling back, how bad can that be.

I don't want to get the police involved cuz if I ever talk to my Uncle about this, he would be in soup. and if I personally meet him I might bash him seriously. I have been made to look like a fool by this guy,

I want to specifically ask some questions concerning these kinds of stories.

1) What was it that prompted you to give Abayomi your money to carry out some form of business which you obviously had very little understanding?

2) How long were you expecting to run this business of getting Abayomi to run your business for you? Did it ever occur to you that 1000 people like you will do the same thing, with the result that he will be overwhelmed and eventually just take the money you paid him and disappear?

3) Did you look at the business model to see the sustainability of this business? Which also brings me to the question of how long you were expecting Abayomi to flip websites for you.

I ask these questions because every single one who keeps crying about scam all follow the same pattern. They want quick money without sitting down to think about whether the business they are going into will make them that money.

You were expecting $2000. That is about N314,000. How long does it take to make N314,000 in Nigeria? What kind of work or business can give N314,000? How long does it take to make N314,000 in Nigeria? Do you have the knowledge or financial capacity to work or do business to make N314,000 within the same time frame as you were expecting the payout from Abayomi?

I ask these questions because I have discovered that many of us young Nigerians cannot think. We refuse to think. We refuse to engage ourselves in meaningful ventures that can generate such money. We are literally surrounded with things that can make great wealth for us. We always go after the newest online money-spinner and rather than spend time to study the program itself, we want the easy way out.

Sorry to say this, but many of you deserve the scamming you are getting. I have personally seen a guy who came to Abuja to sell CDs. But industry and hard wprk saw him understudy roofing business from someone. Today, I know several senators whose personal houses he has roofed. This fellow never went to university. But many people like him who have decided not to be ashamed, but to get their hands dirty to engage in meaningful work, seem to be wiser than those of us who "went to school."

I want to challenge our youths here to stop this madness of jumping into every internet business or latest online opportunity, and do the following:

1) PRAY HARD AND REASON WITH GOD. How many of us actually ask God in our prayers: Father, show me a meaningful venture. Give me a meaningful idea. Show me the pathway to make this idea work. Show me who to meet to make this idea work. Show me how this will work out.

2) Then step out to make that idea work. Ask questions. READ! How many of us even read the several ideas in the "START-UP" section of the Business Thread here on Nairaland? How many of us have even read the thread where people introduced their businesses?

Please, this madness must stop. I have always believed that scammers only thrive in an atmosphere of greed and lack of wisdom on the part of the general populace.

You switch of the gas, the fire goes out. Simple!

LAPO was Kiva's partner in Nigeria. But they ran into some problems that affected the Microfinance Industry as a whole (we all know what those problems were when the CBN came down with its big stick).

odiaero:
Is it same insta that 320 dollars was used to make 33,000 dollars after a stressful trading in some weeks, and they refuses withdrawal u are here promoting??

Scam brokers everywhere!

haba mana! Wetin be dis one now?

Drogba's babalawo is still very busy, pressing the remote control buttons on Torres. After this season, nobody go tell Torres say make him carry him bag go back Spain, sharply!

Unauthorised trading. I spit at that definition.

Why are we Africans always quick to judge and crucify our own because the white man says we should?

GIVE ME THE NAME OF ONE WALL STREET EXECUTIVE WHO HAS BEEN PROSECUTED AS A RESULT OF PRACTICES THAT LED TO THE COLLAPSE OF THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE INDUSTRY AND THE SUBSEQUENT GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS.

People should try to buy and watch the documentary called "Inside Job".

After that, decide for yourselves who the real fraudsters are.

The sooner this OBJ man is told that he cannot be unilaterally acting as though he owns Nigeria, the better.

Who authorized him to go visiting those people? Does he understand the meaning of the phrase "conferring legitimacy"? Do you negotiate with terrorists or you eliminate them?

holahabib:
Obviously, most of the people on this thread are not mature, indiscipline and without both of these there's no way you can succeed in the Trading world. This will be my last post here, you can catch me at Forexfactory where real traders dwell. If you are new to trading and really want to learn, i'll suggest you go to forexfactory too. Imagine getting insulted here just because you're behind a keyboard and a screen.

I am sorry about the comment bro. I take it back 100%. I over reacted. Sorry please.

Hello house.
Please, there's a slight problem that i v been experiencing, so i tot of seeking your opinion.
I have trading with alpari for some time now. I noticed that sometimes, when the market gets to my take profit, my position doesn't close. and unfortunately for me, the market might just start going against me immediately after getting to my take profit thereby turning an already won trade to a loss,  this has left me confused.

The simple truth is that many of these brokers are market makers, and at times they unscrupulously refuse to respect traders' take profit levels. As market makers, they lose money whenever a trader makes a profit, and the excuse they give is that the liquidity was low and as such, they could not find buyers who were ready to buy off your position to close it at the TP level. It is a highly unethical practice and Interbankfx are the worst culprits.

Unfortunately, we are in Nigeria so there is no way we can protest to the FSA to investigate that practice.

The only way you can avoid this is if you use ECN brokers. Unfortunately, ECN pricing is only offered to high-net worth traders. The best you can do is to monitor your trades carefully. Also make sure your TP levels are well ahead of any support or resistance levels to be safe. Better to give up 10 pips than to see a whole position reversed into losses.

I'd say you are dumb, and stu, pid!

is it that up till now, you cannot see that the aim of this thread is purely informative and to help everyone and not the "I AM THE BEST" selfish attitude you are trying to put up here?

May God punish Diezani Allison Madueke and all the Works Ministers who have passed through that Ministry in the last 10 years!

Charity begins at home. Personally I am not carried away by all the big talk by these world bank technocrats because the policies of the world bank and IMF have out Nigeria in the state in which we are in today.

Since Madam Okonjo resumed office, why did she not take a look at that spurious contract and several others that had been awarded by the ministry she now supercedes?

If she wants to fight corruption, she should start in-house. That ministry of hers and the parastatal called Customs that it oversees is a cesspool. Kudos to the House Committee please! In fact, I want them to put her under real pressure from the get-go.

Another CIA gimmick to control the resources in Africa. It will not work and they should know that this time around, we are much wiser than when they came up with that planned parenthood propaganda sh.i.t of the 80s.

Olisa cannot try this sh.i.t in the Niger Delta. Dem for don fok am up since! What rubbish!

Heads up people.

The EURCHF peg is about to face its first test.

My question is, with all the problems in the Eurozone, if there is significant selling pressure on the 1.2000 peg, will the SNB be able to defend it by selling the CHF for foreign currencies in "unlimited quantities", or will they suffer the same fate as the BoE in 1992 when the European Exchange Rate Mechanism peg between the Deutsch Mark and The British pound was challenged to the hilt by George Soros and his people and the BoE capitulated.

Very interesting times we have here.

brymon007:
dollar of to day rate is about 150 to 153.

I don't know why some people just wake up and talk plenty of rubbish here. Many guys use the rate for business, so if you do not have information about the exchange rate, take your itchy fingers to another thread and type your gooey. Mschew!
