sophy17: Thanks for this. I already got a reply from Gtb regarding the Swift code. I also have an existing dollar Mastercard account linked to my Trading212 account and have been verified by them, but i am seeing a limit of 343.40 on it which is why Trading212 app is asking me to add a bank account with same name as I am withdrawing more than the limit.
And please can you confirm how much was deducted from your cash balance as transfer charges if any? Trading212 did not charge. Barclay charged like 0.30% of the cash balance. |

Family › Re: He Wants To Buy A Keke For His Elder Brother In Nigeria by Willie2015: 4:07pm On Sep 11 |
Sirchiboy: My guy in the UK 🇬🇧 wants to buy a Keke for his elder brother in Nigeria.
The man is married with 5 kids, so my guy wants him to have something to hustle with.
But there's a condition: they’ll put everything in writing, and his brother will remit ₦100k every week.
Now family members are calling my guy, asking if he wants to enslave his own elder brother because he wants to help him.
My guy's argument is simple: “It's a business. ₦100k weekly is the standard return for Keke drivers,”
My guy is asking me if he went too far.🤔
Cjay are you guys disappointed ? Nothing wrong with it. I have a deal with my elder brother He supplied the capital.. I run the business in Naija We shared profit 50 - 50 He is the owner of the capital .... D only difference is that there is no written agreement....

So, he decided to let Adeleke win so as to add him to his side, plus the existing Osun APC. Tinubu is actually smart but his smartness is not beneficial to the common man. Life is becoming tougher than before. People's purchasing powers keep dropping. Nope it's the other way round. Tinubu actually want Adeleke in APC.. but Osun APC no gree. Oyetola believed they can win with federal might and if they unite APC factions. Sometimes as a leader .. u cant use force on people... Tinubu has to leave them to fight it out.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran’s Leaders Acknowledge Economic Toll Of War, Pledge Diplomacy, Defence by Willie2015: 2:21pm On Aug 29 |
hi Teymanhenry: This war is unlikely to end permanently unless one of two things happens: 1. The political calculations in Washington change, possibly after the next U.S. elections—a factor that is largely beyond Iran’s control.
2. More importantly, the United States and Iran return to the negotiating table and reach a compromise.
The economic war is hurting Iran far more than the United States. While America also faces financial and political costs from the conflict, ordinary Iranians are bearing the heavier burden through sanctions, inflation, shortages and economic isolation.
At some point, Tehran must consider whether this confrontation is economically sustainable. Military resistance may preserve national pride and strategic leverage, but a prolonged economic war can gradually weaken a country from within—especially when ordinary citizens are paying the highest price.
The most realistic solution remains diplomacy. Both sides should use the earlier June MOU as a starting point, address its weaknesses and negotiate a more durable agreement. I once wrote here that Iran should have taken that deal.It was a generous offer .. US gave them a lot of leverage. |

Politics › Re: FG To End Electricity Subsidy In 2027 by Willie2015: 7:30pm On Aug 28 |
nairalanda1: It's good news, if the government is also prepared to
1. Let the sector charge a cost reflecitive tarrif
2. Enforce laws against power theft, and debts.
For those quoting me to say I am talking something...here is where I got my ideas from.
.
If you abuse me, you abuse the man I got my ideas from, and that is Prof Barth Nnaji. I wish you good luck on that. Prof Barth Nnaji is a technical expert... He can be correct technically but wrong using the political and social sustainability angle. Nigerians are already dealing with fuel-subsidy removal, higher taxes, food inflation and declining purchasing power. Imposing another major cost shock—even if economically justified—can make the entire reform politically unsustainable. A technically perfect reform that the public rejects is not a successful reform. |
Politics › Re: FG To End Electricity Subsidy In 2027 by Willie2015: 7:16pm On Aug 28 |
nairalanda1: Because from the word go everyone was paying a cost reflective tarrif.
And you think that telecoms and refinery don't have the same issues? THEY DO
Also, any method federal government finds means massive debt because no subsidy can completely cover the losses made from selling power below its production cost...because government cannot set production costs.
GHana pays a cost reflective tarrif, which is why they have light. ANd they complain about it, they even say they are poor to pay it, but they have light, we don't. And they get investment in their light.
Looks like you want government to borrow, because the experts have put the amounts we need to fix light at 10 to 14 trillion yearly, maybe higher. My point is simple Cost-reflective tariffs may be the technically correct long-term solution, but government cannot govern on technical correctness alone. Political and social sustainability matter. If millions of Nigerians cannot afford the tariff today, the immediate priority should be to find a mechanism that protects them while the underlying electricity model is being fixed. A technically perfect reform that the public rejects is not a successful reform. |
Politics › Re: FG To End Electricity Subsidy In 2027 by Willie2015: 6:51pm On Aug 28 |
nairalanda1: The government did not fix the GSM and internet sector before allowing the MTN and company charge exorbitant prices to Nigerians as a cost reflective tarrif. Back then there was no rural telephony, and urban phone coverage was not present.
The result was that the sector fixed itself via massive investment and via massive profits.
We should let that happen for the electricity sector. It's what the experts have said should happen, otherwise, government would have to find 10 trillion naira yearly at least to fix electricity. On top of budgets that are half borrowed to begin with.
And yes, people complained about how expensive government was allowing phone service was, with some even calling for subsides back then. An analogy that cant work Telecoms attracts investment more readily because networks could be rolled out incrementally, customers could pay directly for service, and operators could earn relatively predictable returns. Electricity has much larger fixed infrastructure costs, substantial losses and reliability problems, and affordability concerns that make tariff reform politically and socially harder. If even Aso Rock cannot comfortably afford Band A electricity and has to turn to solar, why are we pretending that ordinary Nigerians can simply absorb these tariffs? Let FG find a model that will work !! without killin Nigerian masses. |
Politics › Re: Umahi Storms River Niger Bridge (Photos, Video) by Willie2015: 5:49pm On Aug 28 |
Helinuse: They will fix it, and you folks will still vandalize it for scrap. The number of hungry folks in Naija is high, and FG, SG, and LG don’t seem to care enough about the masses. When BAT removed the fuel subsidy without adequate cushioning policies to protect vulnerable Nigerians, these are some of the consequences we are seeing today. People are hungry and desperate, and that desperation can drive some to vandalize or steal anything they believe they can sell for survival. Fixing the infrastructure is important, but addressing the economic hardship that fuels this behavior is equally important. |

Good one, comrade commisar. FG has a bigger role to play in ensuring that the poor do not bear the full burden of economic adjustment. Leaving everything entirely to market forces may work in theory, but in Nigeria, where millions of people are already struggling with low incomes and high living costs, the immediate consequence is severe hardship, hunger and starvation. |

Amaechi was minister of transport and not minister of works but he is an achiever! Tinubu had only one job, connect Ibadan to Abuja and connect Itakpe in Kogi to Abuja and the whole country would have been practically linked by rail from the North to the South to the West. He chose to spend trillions on a 700km Coastal road that has long been commissioned at 47km and renamed after himself. I have to agree with u on this... With the removal of subsidy...and high fuel cost.. the way to go for FG is rail...connecting North...South and West...

The Federal Government controls the levers that affect virtually every state. In fact BAT currently have 32 governors out of 36 states Both the fiscal architecture through which states receive their allocations. and with the political structure of the country. FG cannot simply wash its hands of the consequences of the system it controls. If Abuja has the power to shape the system, Abuja has a responsibility to help enforce the rules of that system. It's bad to ask citizens with limited power to fight on multiple fronts against governments with vastly greater power. |
