before i forget , I did not call anyone a liar... merely the statements false. If you read my post i was very careful not to call him a lie directly. As for proof? well you called Harvard yourself. My Proof are the people walking around Nigeria now who knew him as did i back then.

Surely there is a difference between doing a class between 1997 till 1999 and, doing two classes one in 1997 AND one in 1999. One of the classes was in Presentation and Writing Skills. Did you check this out? Proof is there if you want to see it. The people who knew him are still alive and he has shunned them or prevented them from coming to close to him so as not to pour sand in his garri.

Someone says Nicholas is not the problem? The only way for evil to thrive is for the good to sit idly by. This is the problem!!!! Too many of us have short memories. I have no issue with someone starting from nothing and working his way up in life. My issues only start when this progression is housed on a pack of lies and lies which can easily be proven for that matter.

When people allow this to happen, only your imagination can prepare you for the kind of Nigeria we are preparing for ourselves.

My one and only problem with something like Transcorp is that it is a scam. This scam is happening right in front of the eyes of Nigerians. To illustrate some of what i mean i take someone like Nicholas Okoye who has been appointed as Group Exec. Director Operations.

My question is this: who is Nicholas Okoye? This is a man who came into Nigeria 4 years ago. Prior to this, he was in the United States in Boston living in one of the projects and barely scraping by. He managed to do an evening class at Harvard in Writing and Presentation Skills and this is how he now claims to have studied there extensively. When he arrived in Nigeria, he was barely surviving 4 years ago and was begging for handouts. Abracadabra today he is now in an exalted position.

Scams like Transcorp will continue to happen because all the people who knew people like this before they acquire 'success' in Nigeria refuse to expose them for the fraud they are. we sit idly by with our short memories and then complain. People who know Nicholas Okoye allow the publication of lies like this:

Nicholas Okoye


Nicholas Okoye’s valuable insight and experience in sophisticated Financial Strategies and Advanced Information Management Technologies led him to his recent appointment with the Nigerian Stock Exchange as the Technical Advisor to the Director General and Chief Executive Officer. In his role he is responsible for building a Global Franchise for the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), leveraging off the over ten million Nigerians living and working in the Western Hemisphere. Prior to his career with NSE he was a Financial Consultant (this is Merrill's term for a junior broker) and Global Investment Advisor for Merrill Lynch(this is a lie and can be confirmed by Merrill Lynch).

Nicholas has gained deep knowledge of the techniques involved in advanced Financial Management and Large Scale Project Finance working on projects all over the World. Nicholas is presently retained, and he continues to give his expert advice to large Corporations and High Net worth Individuals on their investments in United States Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds and Financial Derivatives. Having served as Managing Partner to Consulting Firm, Global Strategies Consulting (this is a company formed by Mr. Okoye), Nicholas gained rare insight and expertise in the processes of Investment Strategy and the Competitive Advantage of Nations while advising Nigeria’s National Investment Promotion Commission, the Anambra State Government, the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Commerce.

Nicholas Okoye compliments his extensive training and expertise in Financial Management and Investment with a strong tertiary educational background having graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Applied Microbiology and Genetic Engineering from the Anambra State University of Technology in 1988. He went on to conduct graduate extension studies at Harvard University in Boston Massachusetts USA, studying techniques in Global Investment Management and Technology from 1997 till 1999. (THIS IS A BARE FACED LIE!!!!!!!!!)

Well thanks guys for an interesting thread. I am in Lagos and currently i enjoy the use of Netcom Africa's, MyNetcom which is Wireless Broadband all over Lagos. Quite fast, reliable and truly mobile. I believe they are using UMTS-TDD which is 3G CDMa. hope am correct, just reading it off a brochure.

Why go for a Tokunbo DOPC VSAT for 300k when you can get a brand new Netcom VSAT for 299k. better still if you already have an existing modem from another manufacturer, trade that in with Netcom andf they'll give you 100k back.

If you are looking for a good ISP, then I would consider Netcom Africa. they have a plan specially dedicated to Cybercafe's. Check them out at www.netcomafrica.com

Am using the "Home" package which is rated at 300kbps shared. I dont know how reliable the internet bandwidth test sites are but they reckon am getting 216kbps on an average of 5 tests on 3 different sites.

am using the netcom service now and i can recommend it to anyone.
