Thespecialone: I pulled off a similar stunt recently though, 100+ items (two clients) , procured from 1688, delivered both on the same day within 7days for a fraction of this budget. I know what it feels like. All the best boss.
i believe they are same items. Yes i believe so.

But how u sir??



***************UPDATE**************


DISTRACTION No2.

I just got a call from the post office to come pick an item. I experimented with a new free shipping company in china Known as 17Postservice.com.

And it took just 3days to get to Nigeria. Hahahaaa Hongkong post just got a new competitor.

These are screenshots of the items and proove of duration

I n a business deal of this nature you have to get things right. No mistakes. I just made some decision. i have choosed my choice Shipping agent and Local Logistics agent.


International Logistics
NonnyKings.
I just gave him a cal letting him know of my of my challenge ahead. I was also given free 3Kg discount.
I also just called his staff Judy (my chinese wife). i told her how serious i am and how much attention i need. It can be difficult speaking with a chinese, but 1 trick i have learnt is to always never talk fast. speak 1 after the order.

My method of shipping now is express.


Local Logistics Agent
I have checked all logistics thread. and i think KrixMas is the best man for this Job.
Reason. i need quick and prior attention. also i need somebody that will give me a fairer price because i have to meet N110,000 Budget. i will call him now in a jiffy.



My Mistakes
1. I started a bizness without determining if the amount i was given will be enough.
2. I am getting too close to my client. believe me, in bizness friends should not be friends.

RECHARGE CARD
I just got my phone loaded N1000.

NETWORK CONNECTION

Ok i am on a very fast connection. My system uses a PUBLIC IP. Yes i mean a public IP. hahahaaa.
Ministry network.

MEAL
I just got x3 MacVites Digestive Biscuit. x N150
Hollandia Big x N300


SONGS
Playlist.

1. Niyola - toh bad
2. 2Baba - The whole Ascension Album.
3. Jaywon - Make my money this year
4. Psquare - Chop my money
5. Wizkid - Prayer
6. Phyno - Alobam

Ymodulus: Hmmmm. when you say extra miles what do you mean?
She : Naughty boy, what you are thinking is not what i meant.
Ymodulus: wait!! i never said what i was thinking aloud. so how did you know what am thinking? Now you are the naughty one i guess.
She: Lol! crazy dude.
Ymodulus: Please for no we are not friends till bizness is over.
She: Better!! Your time starts thursday.

MizMyColi: LoL...... I would have loved to share freely on that, but considering recent happenings, I'm re-gathering my thoughts on that, I'd share when I feel free to.

Talking about the christian god, well its a pity that most of us never set out to know the Almighty being for ourselves. I mean, Its so irksome, when I hear an acclaimed MOG saying stuffs in the lines of "The Wrath of God" "The Anger of the Lord".....for pete's sake, the God I relate with doesn't do wrath, He couldn't even if he wanted to, because it is just not in his nature. angry and if anyone wants to object, I back out of the argument with these words, "We have nothing to discuss here, because obviously, your God is my Devil" grin
less i forget. why not we throw up a constructive debate? what do you say? Christian God is not a god of love I ymodulus propose

UyiIredia: Another fun fact is that God has been dealing with atheists since Bible times; and Psa 53:1 is another verse that insults them, folks overuse Psa 14:1
Good point.

Lets not also forget that same so called son of god Jesus christ, in the account of the parables of the good samaritan even atested to the fact that Atheist will go to an Heaven they never believe in. Yet some deluded christians kill themselves over these

Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 2:07am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi:

Cool cool

Well, first off, I've come to realise that the christianity that's being practiced today inspires fear in people, instead of faith.

I believe in the GodHead, yet I do not think of myself as a christian.

Every belief I have that isn't centred in Love must be discarded

I believe that truth is truth, no matter who says it or where it is found.

I believe that God is love, light and life and that he's too big for one religion to claim monopoly of Him

Life and Love is my religion.

*Gotta hit the sheets now though* smiley
By the above words i will say you are not a christian. because the christian god claims to be love (1 John vs 7-cool yet this same god has unleashed suffering and pains to humanity. this is evident in the old testaments and also in most verses of the scriptures.

Look at the story of hell fire, i dont see how a young boy should offend me for just a reason and i ask him to kneel down for months outside the sun, people will say am wicked even if i say am lovely.
The christian god claims to give free choice why this is not the case.


well all that aside nice to know you are not christian, however are you married? if yes what is your husby? or kids religion? if you are not, how or what kind of man do you plan to get married to? reasons been in Nigeria, atheist hardly date atheist and families of atheist are despised by the public, so i will like to know what are your view feel free not to say if you don't want too.

hi AtheistD
Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 1:34am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi: Okay! Let's talk about your beliefs at the moment?
Well i will say i am more of a free thinker. in that i only accept beliefs based on its logicality / reason.

Some of my beliefs

1. No hell fire
2. I don't believe in immortality of the soul
3. tithing
4. i believe in drinking alcohol
6. i don't believe in the bible account of creation. its flawed
7. i don't accept Evolution rather i accept Einstein theory of relativity in line with Big bang theory.
8. if i was to be a religionist, i will go with Buddhism.

These are all i can recall for now




So you what are your beliefs ? that's if you don't mind
Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 1:24am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi: Okay, I get your point. I won't ask further smiley
Ask go on. read my statement i said people that understand i let open, and from your profile i can see that atheist qualities even when i think you are not. summarily you are the understanding type and its ok we talk
Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 1:16am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi: By Labels I mean: "I'm christian, luciferan, atheist, Mormon, agnostic etc" kind of. Description
Lol. ok i get thanks for the explanation. well i dont come up open about my beliefs in public to most nigerian because you will just end up stir-up discussion and insults. i only bring it up when i see the other side as the understanding type or when am on the internet(not most often)
Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 1:03am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi: Oh, Okay. I take it you don't do labels?
ehmmmm, now am lost can you explain better
Christianity Etc › Re: I Stopped Believing In Hell And Eternal Damnation by Ymodulus: 12:54am On Aug 17, 2014
MizMyColi: Atheist? Or Theist? It's not like it makes any difference though.
Me? Atheist.

beside there is difference. i do not like when someone term or classify THEIST and ATHEIST to have a single meaning. You abuse the prettiness of the these words as carved out by the lexicographers. And you reduce the status of atheist.

MizMyColi: Sure the way is narrow and few find it-- in THIS life.

Sure idolaters and unbelievers don't inherit the kingdom of God-- in THIS life.

Sure Jesus may say we never knew Him-- in THIS life.

Sure, most humans do not lead Spirit-led existences-- in THIS life.

BUT, BUT, BUT, what about this verse? "That in the AGES (plural) to come HE might show the exceeding riches of his grace and kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:7.

Our "earth age" batting average may well be dismal in the here and now. We may in fact fail to exercise any faith during our time here. We may stubbornly reject His lordship, love and counsel here for several decades, maybe even a century if we have a long life.

But does that mean that we can reject God's irresistible love and wisdom for ALL the ages to come-- forever, and ever, and ever? Are we really THAT strong? Can we not at least envision the possibility that God will continue to minister to lost souls not ONLY in THIS current earth age, but also in all the future ages of grace and reconciliation to come?

Does 70-90 years of defiance really justify never ending eternal punishment? Can't we grant God some cosmic elbow room to perform salvific signs and wonders in the ages to come?

And, if even we aren't positive that God will do this, can't we humbly at least permit the possibility? Can't we allow for the notion that God's judgments just MIGHT be restorative and rehabilitative rather than wrathful and punitive?

Martin Luther, the father of the Protestant Reformation, certainly allowed for this possibility: "God forbid that I should limit the time of acquiring faith to the present life. In the depth of the Divine mercy there may be opportunity to win it in the future." Martin Luther's letter to Hanseu Von Rechenberg, 1522.

Perhaps if we really inclined our ear to hear the Lord's heart on this, we might also hear God likewise urging us "not to forbid" this blessed hope.

The belief that Hell is "ultimately remedial and restorative" rather than "eternally torturous" has been held by many others throughout church history. G. Campbell Morgan, nicknamed the Prince of Expository Preaching, and one of the great Bible scholars in Church history, summarizes this position beautifully:

"We cannot conceive of a Creator who knows the end from the beginning, one who is Love, who has infinite wisdom, and infinite power, giving to any being life, life which is never to end, but to continue in suffering to all eternity. THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH IT ANYWHERE IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES. God's punishments are remedial and take place within the span of the ages during which he is accomplishing the making of man in His image and likeness. Punishment will last no longer than is necessary to bring man to hate his sin and be reconciled to his Saviour." G.Campbell Morgan Pastor, "Sermon: The Cross and the Ages to Come," Westminster Chapel, London.

Even if we can't be sure of this, can't we defang eternal damnation for now and at least hope for the possibility that God's ability to woo and win us is greater than our ability to eternally evade His love.
