spyder880: The tank stand is now painted a silver grey colour.

pappilo: You make absolutely no sense. All you are doing is dropping a few terms you heard on Bloomberg/CNBC to try to bamboozle others.
.

labeecee: I wouldn't place any pictures of the area sir.

labeecee: My word is my bond, besides I have a reputation to maintain.

labeecee: I could easily post pictures of any area and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference

labeecee: a few hours isn't too much to ask for.

labeecee: You just send someone to come see.

gtrust: Laroche: You refused to answer my questions about Platinum Park which you advertised here on Nairaland.
I think you need to tell us about the previous project you sold so that people can testify to it and attract many many customers to you as a reliable estate manager/developer.

Tell us what has happened to Platinum Park Estate

Have you finished selling the plots are there more plots for sale there commercial residential

Have people been allocated plots IN PLATINUM PARK

Have people moved into PLATINUM PARK

Many more questions like these including ALL the documentation you promised

saanil: I wanted to know is there any power company listed on NSE? I was collecting some data on electricity production in Nigeria and needed some reliable sources. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

pappilo: I also researched Ghana Tbills and was almost going to bite the bullet but I decided with my head and pulled out last minute.The value of the Ghanaian Cedi has been eroded drastically since the new Cedi was introduced in 2007 and if this devaluation trend continues (most likely will) it will be a complete waste of time investing in their Tbills.

In 2007 $1 = 0.92GHc and in 2012 it was $1 = 1.82 GHc (now it's $1 = 2GHc). If you invested 1000GHc in 2007 and rolled over and compounded it over 5 years at 20%PA, you will have had 2490GHc in 2012. Your original 1000GHc could get you $1085 in 2007. In 2012 your 2496GHc would have bought you $1368. In real terms, only a profit of $283 over 5 years i.e. true yield of 5% annually

Not worth the stress in my opinion.

Seun: @X-2-X: My banker told me that the secondary market requires a minimum investment of 250 million naira. I hope he wasn't lying to me ...

ayztech: ..............
By this secondary market scene, i'm guessing there will always be peeps in my kinda situation that might want to offload with their securities having varied periods like 20,26,29 days, 1 month etc meaning i can even be buying from the sec mkt for such periods as it suits my financial plans better though obviously it fetches less interest as it were, abi?

Seun: The interest is always paid upfront, but if you need more cash urgently, you can get a bank loan using tbills as collateral.

ayztech: eeeooooo!!! this is trouble for me ooo..
Thanks Seun but bank loan rates and charges are always much higher than these TB int rates and it wont favour me at all.
Pls do you know why they don't have for 30 days or less instead of the regular 90,180,360 bands?

ayztech: Oga Feelamong sorry o I can't seem to find the attachment; how do I see that please?

(I have this hanging notification ...You have 1 new Nairaland PM. Please check your e-mail account now...should that be it? How do I check that pls?)

Thanks

Marpol: Whatever happened? No updates again?

Jamesqu: Pele...with all his posts online, I had him on speed dail for next year, but after this...I don delete...I feel u!

x-fire:
Wow! Why such a dramatic change in the first instance? It will be really tough to make such a switch like that (mildly stating!). It would have been easier if it was a pure science course (e.g mathematics, chemistry, etc).
Personally I won't advise such a change because it doesn't offer any competitive edge or leverage.
If you insist you wanna continue, go with Debosky's advice.

debosky: ^^ It's not impossible, but it would be difficult. You may need to do a lot of pre-work to qualify possibly in the form of a post-graduate diploma to bridge the knowledge gap between engineering and microbiology.

You can check the requirements of petroleum engineering schools and they will be able to give you guidance on admission requirements.

fitzmayowa: First class in mathematics how do I get into an oil n gas coy?

spyder880: Bros, you are simply an achiever. This is top rate performance from a real pro. We in Nigeria are very proud of this.

abdulkayus: Abeg, all dis show on music and fake reality show don too much na. We need program on STEM; Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, dat will encourage youth to go for science nt all dis dance and sing show. All d one dey hav been doin b4, hw many of dem don blow apart frm few flash in a pan.

Gbawe: Will the fans of GEJ curse and insult Okogie too now he is saying exactly what many have been saying repeatedly? If I were to ever respect any Nigerian man of God, it will be Okogie , once touted a possible Pope, and not all the fraudsters and pastorpreneurs , posing as men of God, Nigeria produces in copious amount.

GEJ should listen to the likes of Okogie instead of running around Nigeria to be kneeling before hedonistic charlatans who shame everything religion should be about.

laroche: We are ready to serve you again, as our office is now open for business.

Developmental work have also recommenced at The Platinum Regal Estate.

Endeavour to visit our office and let's sit with you in discussing your assets and property related matters.

We promise to serve you better this year.

mapet: @ X-2-X,

1. Please Let's be factual, and I make bold to say that It is a LIE that the traffic situation on Lekki expressway has not dramatically improved. Compared to what I went through in 2008 and What is obtainable now is more than the difference between light and darkness

2. Please explain to me how the interest of the supposed "tax-payers" and "masses" would have been protected any better? By not tolling at all? (Mind you even the Federal government have announced that the Lagos Ibadan express way will be tolled) or Was anybody's house pulled down? or how? I also wonder how tax-payers would be identified from non-tax-payers who ply the road.


3. For me the reality is that according to best practice, the rule is to provide alternative roads. Are there alternative roads, the answer is yes. The arguements that the alternative roads were there before lacks merit. The reality is that there are alternative roads and people use them. Our 2 staff busess plying the route use the alternative roads. Most of my colleagues use the alternative roads.So I'd rather you put things in proper perspectives.

4. the Issue of the cost of tolling is relative and it depends on how we view it. These road was Private sector financed, these private sectors guys got the investments from somewhere. Thinking through the chain, the cost of funding, the period of repayment, the dynamics of volume of traffic etc, then you'll understand that the tolling was not just thrusted on people. We were witness to the period when LCC was taking stats.

mapet: @ X-2-X,
6. For me a critical question is Who is really complaining? The Lekki residents I can understand bearing the brunt of the initial discomfort this new change will bring. But for those of us who dont live in Lekki, hardly go there, have not been to these alternative routes and we write about some fictional hardship...please spare me. I make bold to tell you that even before the commencement of the project, some of these alternative routes have been built by government. You had more than 3 ways to access Shoprite, from Oniru. You cold access Oniru via Ligali Ayorinde. You could access the alternate road either from Oniru end or the waterworks at the end of Ligali.

7. Your take on the toll collection approach also betrays your ignorance. My brother it was all over the media for almost a year the different approaches to tolling. We were told of electronic tag, that you go to any of the designated back, pay for, load credit on it, and stick it on your windscreen. There is a designated queue for those with e-tag, and their lines goes faster.

So my take is still that for all intents and purposes this road is a far better alternative, than what was there before and the value it brings to our collective commonwealth. On my recent trip to Boston, I paid $5 for toll, the taxi driver simply told me my fare includes it. In South Africa, they have roads similar to this and actively collects tolls...so this is pretty standard.

If we keep harping on the masses and stuffs like that at the expense of living in a quality environment, they we end up worse off, at the risk of joining the masses and the poor

Billyonaire: The Road Construction is fantastic but erecting multiple Toll-Gates within miles actually impede the free flow of traffic which is what people complain about. It is better for one to pay the 600 on one toll plaza than pay in 2, cos the more the toll plaza the greater the delays and serial traffic chaos.

Borlahr: Surely, he should be made to perform more and better than he is doing. However, an appreciation of his good work should come first not antagonist of his programmes or ideas. Eko oni baje ......, Obaa je tii .........

Borlahr: I enjoy ur write-up. Well meaning and sensible talk, more of ur kind should be encouraged to pass sense in to d medular of Nigerians
