Thespecialone:
#68,300 received from Aleshsenior2000

#51,785 received from butter ( one of nairaland's oldest members)

For purchase of goods from 1688.com

Thank you sir. grin

the special one is truly special. now i know why. every single call, he picked, every whatsapp message he replied. he made every step of the process smooth. I've picked up my items and not only are they intact to the last piece, they're also good quality ones too as well. the special one is always around to answer every question especially as regards products purchase and shipping in and outs, and even had time for random whatsapp gist. not to mention he's a pleasant fellow with a good sense of humour. i honestly don't know how he manages to keep up everything. when the items arrived on friday, he called to inform me and when i got lost on the way to picking up the items, he was there on phone guiding us there to the pickup point.

he passed the test and has now become our official logistics partner. please expect another order soon, likely next week.

keep up the good work. thank God for nairaland. God bless you.

Politics / Re: APC Reveals Transition Committee’s Terms Of Reference That Earned Buhari FG Rebu by butter(m): 11:20am On May 01, 2015
wachakuta:
In the aftermath of the outgoing Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government’ call to the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to mind against utterances and actions that seem to indicate he is running a parallel government, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has published the contentious terms of reference, which elicited the warning.

On Wednesday, after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Sulaiman, had conveyed Government’s exception to the terms of reference the president-elect gave to his transition committee.

“We take exception to some utterances and some of the terms of reference that look as if the current government is being stampeded or intimidated”, the minister told State House Correspondents.

On the heels of a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, which accused the Jonathan administration of plotting to hinder a smooth transition on May 29, the incoming governing party has published the terms of reference for Mr. Buhari’s transition committee on its website, for the records.

TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR BUHARI TRANSITION COMMITTEE

a. To develop a clear framework for liaison with the out-going Administration for purposes of a smooth hand-over/take-over.

b. To receive hand-over documents from Ministries, Departments and Agencies and itemise the most important or most urgent issues confronting the in-coming government.

c. To review and make preliminary assessment of the balance sheet of government with particular emphasis on

(1). The status of assets and liabilities of government.

(2). Cash flow position of the government.

(3). Quantum of public domestic and external debt of government and their deployment.

(4). Government’s out-standing contractual obligations and its ability to meet such obligations.

(5). Status of implementation of capital projects.

c. Under-take a preliminary assessment of the security challenges facing the country and the

(1). Counter-insurgency measures taken by the government thus far.

(2). Counter policy measures being implemented in the Niger Delta to deal with unrest and major economic crimes in the area. In particular, the status of the Amnesty Programme.

(3). Readiness of the Police and other national security and intelligence agencies in addressing threats to law and order

d. Provide a brief over-view of CBN, NNPC, NCC, Customs and FIRS.

e. Suggest “quick fixes” which will result in tangible, visible and practical measures so that CHANGE will be seen after 30 days, after 100 days, after 6 months of the Administration taking office.

f. Make any other observations which in view of the Committee would be helpful to the transition and take-off of the new Administration.

g. Report back to the President-elect in two weeks.


http://www.informationng.com/2015/05/apc-reveals-transition-committees-terms-of-reference-that-earned-buhari-fg-rebuke.html


I think it's safe to say that these are the terms of reference for Buhari's transition committee. This will guide their interaction with the FG.

The transition committee will be composed of members from both Buhari's side and the FGN.

That also means the suggestions are coming from the Buhari team (not the FGN) based on the information they've gathered.

Ever thought of investing in healthcare?
Business / Re: Lucrative Business Ideas With N75m Capital by butter(m): 9:20am On Jul 30, 2014
@sangocrusader

Ever thought of healthcare-specifically in a dental clinic? You'll get a decent, guaranteed ROI for a very long time especially if well set up and managed. World wide dental clinics are considered safe, recession proof investments. With the country's growing economy, there's been a growth in the middle class especially. These are the class of people likely to seek and spend on healthcare according to the ADB. And the demand for dental services is shooting up especially as we transit to a more western lifestyle occasioned by the influx of western diets and food brands into the country.
You only need to take a look at the well run dental clinics and the revenues they generate especially as a lot of them operate multiple offices.

I'll be more than glad to discuss with you and share a plan for achieving success. You don't need to invest all your funds(its way too much actually).

Travel / Re: Requirements Toget A Visiting Visa To Canada by butter(m): 6:55pm On Dec 15, 2011
Hi awahid

Thanks for the reply. What I wanted to know is if a pregnant woman (6months gone)  will be allowed to give birth in canada and whether the baby will be a citizen. I ask because I've heard divergent opinions on this:
Some say yes the child will be a citizen
Some say the child won't be a citizen until 18 when the child can apply for citizenship
There's yet another one saying that the child won't be a citizen except he's born to parents who are canadian citizens or have PR status.

Also I wanted to ask how does the whole process go, these are what I'm hoping fummiee who I assume went through it all.
But I appreciate ur response and will appreciate any further information u can give especially with regards to the questions I raised.

Expecting your reply and thanks again.

@Lexusgs430

you said you've had your plasma for 2years now. i bought an LG 42 inch plasma, but with all these burn in problems I've heard I'm getting worried. I've read on the net that there's need to break in the plasma for the 1st 200 hours to avoid these burn in problems but the all the info I'm getting is from 2007 and i don't know if the plasmas made these days require a break in. i want to ask if you had to "break in" your plasma.

thanks

From my experience, it is not customs holding up your delivery; it is NDLEA.
i have had to endure such delays to get my phones delivered to me through FEDEX. I had to go there to negotiate a bail for my items.
It is a shameful thing when NDLEA begins to question you about duty on am imported item. thankfully, i am versed in clearing matters so i was able to deal with them effectively.
this is not encouraging at all. So how do guys who import on a regular basis do so. @knotty pls can u give us tips to enable us deal effectively with them.

Politics / Re: We Will Resist Privatisation Of Electricity by butter(m): 12:02am On Dec 09, 2010
to buttress my point, here's a quote from a blog posted earlier in this discourse. the blog by the way is at : http://wayforwardnaija..com/2010/07/nlc-and-labour-unions-always-in-our.html

a section reads:

As someone schooled in Accounting, macro and micro economics, corporate finance and international finance, and given the social situation we find ourselves in, I find that privatization is one of the best things that can happen to most of our state owned enterprise. First the change of ownership to private hands will reduce the corruption which these enterprises are used to perpetrate. NNPC and PHCN are a case in point. Secondly, the improved efficiency will mean that the services will be provided faster, and in some cases cheaper and thirdly, the privatized industries are likely to provide far more jobs for the teeming unemployed than if they were left in public hands. The telecoms industry is always my favorite case study. In over 3 decades, Nitel provided us with a paltry 500,000 lines, but the GSM companies have provided us with over 40 million lines in 10 years. It took about 6months (if you didn’t know anyone and were also lucky) to apply for and receive a Nitel line back in the day. Today, you can get a GSM line in minutes. Nitel as far as I know never made any dividend payment to its owner, the Federal Government, but the GSM and CDMA companies pay taxes to government running into hundreds of billions of Naira. At best Nitel provided 10,000 direct jobs and very little indirect jobs. Today, I would expect that direct jobs provided by the telecoms companies at the very least matches the 10,000, but the indirect jobs probably runs into the hundreds of thousands, from those hawking recharge cards, to those operating call centers, to advertising agencies, builders of masts, those who lease out generating sets, provide security services etc. With these obvious benefits, why on earth would an NLC be so against the final sale of Nitel? Any student of economics should be able to conclude rather easily that the overall benefits of the privatized telecoms industry far outweighs the burden of keeping the staff at Nitel unproductively employed.

My take on this is that the NLC continues to struggle with government simply to remain relevant and not necessarily to make your life or my life better. In a nation as corrupt as Nigeria, I rather doubt that corruption has not also found its way into the various unions who are supposedly fighting on our behalf, oblivious that in many cases their actions actually cause more long term suffering to Nigerians.

Another interesting case study is the brouhaha surrounding the privatization of PHCN, which the unions seem to be against. It is common knowledge that PHCN is corrupt and inefficient. It is also common knowledge that stable electricity will do wonders for the Nigerian economy by boosting its productive capacity and by opening a new vista of opportunities for provision of services. It is also common knowledge that all companies, big and small, and a large amount of private residences use private generating sets for varying lengths of time on a daily basis. It is also common knowledge that self generated power is about 10 times more expensive than the current national tariff. I therefore find it puzzling that whenever the issue of PHCN’s privatization comes up in public discourse, the electricity union’s rise up to say that all they require is more funding and that are capable of managing the company. A company they have failed to manage properly for the last 30years!!?? One does not need a soothsayer to tell that the current staff of PHCN cannot turn around the fortunes of that company. Discussion with their staff whenever I go to pay my bills indicate that they do not possess simple logic, lack integrity, proper work ethic and honesty, are ages behind in current technological advances in the sector, are not proactive, do not have the capacity to design and implement processes and procedures that will ensure the system works properly and are generally un-trainable.

If this is the case though and we all know it, why then is there so much resistance to handing PHCN and its successor companies over to private companies who will have the capacity to manage them effectively and far more efficiently and import far better technology and deploy current best practices? One would have thought the overriding interest would be to make electricity available to the nation and by so doing oil the nation’s path to economic recovery. If electricity is really the opium for our economy that many people are saying it is, then it is likely that the increased economic activity it will create will bring about many more jobs than could ever be lost by privatizing PHCN. This is simple economics, and has already been proven to be true as described in the telecoms sector. This does not even take into account the improved incomes people in other sectors will generate as a result of regular electricity, more expensive or not. And I see no reason why this cannot apply in other sectors as well - even downstream petroleum!

It seems that in fighting to keep a “few” employed at some of these state owned companies, the overall impact of these labor agitations as regards privatization is actually worsening the lot of most other Nigerians. The intention is not to make it appear that the unions are not useful. They certainly are, especially when it comes to smaller localized issues their workers may be having with their employers, but when it comes to trying to get involved in directing national economic policy, I really do not think the NLC is doing us any favors.
