There is currently a massive protest ongoing by the APC in Yenagoa against the decision of the INEC to cancel the results from Southern Ijaw LGA, flouting the orders of the NPF against any demonstration during or after elections in the state. Cc Lalasticlala

Crime / Re: Tension as EFCC Seizes Dollars From Onitsha Traders by mascott(m): 9:50am On Sep 27, 2015 |
I have long wanted to create a thread on this subject but thank God its here today. There is a lot of ignorance on what actually goes on at the international airports and how it affects businesses especially importers. The law states you have to declare any money above $10000, but strangely any cash declared above $10000 dollars is seized at the point of exit. This is a direct consequence of the overzealous actions of the newly constituted presidential task force on currency trafficking at the airports. Now am not talking because I heard from someone but because I've been a victim myself. I normally source goods from Dubai for resale in Nigeria and have been doing it for over 5 years. For those who are familiar with Dubai travellers, you will note that most of us travel with cash as its cheaper and more convenient that transfers. The normal routine is when i get to the airport, i declare the amount cos its always more than $10000 after which you are allowed to board. What people don't realise is that the new CBN policy forbids payment of dollars into domiciliary accounts and also placed embargo on international transfers due to concerns about money launderers. Now I was supposed to make my latest trip sometime last week but was unaware of this new task force guys. Upon arrival, I declared the cash on me to the custom guys($54,000). I was then taken to a room upstairs where I was told I couldnt travel cos I have more than the allowed $10000. I asked why and they said it was an administrative change within. To my greatest consternation I was also informed my cash have been seized and that I wouldnt be allowed to make the trip cos I was under arrest and would be taken to the EFCC immediately. I asked why that was the case since I declared on arrival and I was told the new mandate given to them from Abuja was to impound any cash above $10000 whether declared or not. In fact we were four in total held for the same offence that day and everyone of us declared our cash on arrival but the cash was impounded and after some little delay we were all bundled to the EFCC office on Awolowo road Ikoyi. As am speaking to you now my cash hasn't been returned as I was released on bail pending the outcome of their investigation. My business have been effectively suspended for the time being as I await their investigation which from information I gathered takes months to complete. Is this fair? For those who wld want to accuse me of being a wailer pls go through my previous posts on nairaland to see I campaigned and voted for change but certainly not the type I witnessed or the one happening to me. I believe businessmen need to speak out on what's happening to us at the airports else we risk losing our source of livelihood due to some draconian govt policies. N/B I have intentionally withheld some details in order not to compromise my case at the EFCC. 9 Likes |

Politics / Re: Ameachi Denied Access To Govt House by mascott(m): 10:31pm On Sep 12, 2013 |
The only sensible option left for Amaechi is to lobby the state house of assembly to pass a resolution establishing some sort of state security apparatus since he can no longer count on the CP as the chief security officer of Rivers state. At this rate his life and that of the general rivers people is undeniably unsafe. The way our president is going, he is leaving the khaki guys with few options as this is the sorta excuse they need to overthrow any government. Pls let's pray for Nigeria. My 21 cents sha. |

Phones / Blackberry Bringing BBM To iOS, Android by mascott(m): 6:39pm On May 14, 2013 |
ORLANDO, Fla. — BlackBerry has announced that it's bringing its BBM chat platform to multiple platforms and devices this summer, including iOS and Android. This move has been rumored for, literally, years, yet the announcement still seemed to take the audience by surprise. BBM will come to iOS 6 devices and will work on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and higher. The app will be free and bring cross-platform messaging between BlackBerry, iOS and Android users. BBM has 60 million active monthly users — certainly nothing to sneeze at — but in the years since it reigned supreme, the messaging space has drastically changed. Apple's BBM copycat service iMessage boasts over 140 million users. Other services, including MessageMe, GroupMe and Facebook Messenger boast equally large and growing users bases. And then there's WhatsApp. More than 10 billion WhatsApp messages are sent each day and its user base is easily in the hundreds of millions. The service is widely successful in emerging markets — exactly the markets that BlackBerry cites as its core BBM user base. WhatsApp is also on a ton of platforms — including Windows Phone, Symbian and, yes, BlackBerry 10. BlackBerry will argue that BBM is more than just chat — it has groups, the ability to send files and more — but, for users on other platforms, that might be just a semantic difference. The proposition of bringing BBM to iOS and Android was something that made sense — and was potentially disruptive — back in 2009 or even 2010. In 2013, the onus will be on BlackBerry — and, really, BBM users — to convince other users to switch and use the app. At a press session after the announcement, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins said that he believed a core differentiator between BBM and WhatsApp is that BBM is free. Of course, there are other free services out there, including Facebook Messenger. Still, Heins has a point about free being a potentially big driver in adoption. One area where BBM could improve its cross- platform experience is around the idea of the PIN. Remembering and finding user PIN numbers can be difficult. WhatsApp and iMessage are so successful in part because these services employ a user's existing phone number. In the case of iMessage, the experience is actually seamless with SMS, working in the same application and the same way. Regardless, the crowded messaging space just got a bit more crowded. What do you think about BBM coming to iOS and Android? mashable.com/2013/05/14/bbm-ios-android/ |

Politics / Re: Bayelsa Embarks On N15.6 Billion Flyover Projects by mascott(m): 9:46am On Feb 18, 2013 |
Na wa o. I am shocked at the Ignorance oozing from the comments am reading. For someone to say Yenagoa does not need flyovers explains why we never get things right in this country. U sit in front of ur laptop and type bollocks and feed trash to other people all in the name of freedom of expression, na wa o. Abeg Lagos to Yenagoa bus fare is just 3500 by road. Why not visit on a weekend and notice how long you get to spend on the Tombia Junction hold-up instead of talking based on assumptions. I tire for nairaland Jare. At this rate the mods need to start banning senseless and ignorant posts, so they don't infect people with their ignorance. |
Politics / Re: Lagos-Kano Mass Transit & Fuel-Haulage Trains Begins Friday by mascott(m): 8:18pm On Dec 20, 2012 |
If this story turns out to be true, then am afraid GEJ has succeeded in taking Nigeria back to the stone ages. Laudable as the project seems, it is saddening that the so called alternative to road or air travel is a 24 hour train journey, in NIGERIA, in 2013! Gosh, I shudder! To put this situation in proper perspective, the last time I took a train was a manchester bound train from London's Euston station, and the journey time was exactly 2hrs 10 mins, and this was in 2008! I suspect the pro-GEJ team hang around here waiting for any sort of news to feed on, PITY! How many of you congratulating GEJ wld seriously consider taking these 24-hour fun rides? Smh! |

Politics / Re: EFCC Arrests Man With $7M At MMIA by mascott(m): 11:22am On Sep 30, 2012 |
The only thing this guy's guilty of is not declaring the cash or moving it through a bank. Businessmen based in Dubai or who travel to dubai but run outa cash always find a way to get money sent to them from naija. That's where these middlemen come in. If you do that through a bank, you get charged outrageous amounts as commission, but through these guys, ur gud. They gather the money to be transferred from naija on a weekly basis and travel physically with the cash to remit to the original owners in Dubai. That's how it works. So I can confirm 100% that cash is not laundered cash but belong to genuine business guys in Dubai probably still waiting to collect their cash. And of cos with the corrupt guys at the airport, you can easily bribe your way through without declaring nada. |
