Aphrodite007: Two years ago I opened a bakery in Lagos with all mod cons. I just sold it all at a big loss couple of months ago. The economy of Nigeria is too harsh. It makes some people result to unethical means to survive. From what I found out I know I can never eat bread from any Nigerian bakery because of all the poisonous and banned chemicals that they use to enhance their profits. It’s only God that can save that country. In my eyes it’s finished. 2 Likes |

davide470: Ah, let's not shame anyone today. I still believe said company will get it right. I remember calling up my lawyers to find out the cost implication of setting up such a service and when I saw the CBN capitalisation base of something in the realm of 100 Million Naira for even basic services, I jump and pass. My major grouse with them was that there was no one I could pick up the phone and call and abuse and shout and threaten when we couldn't access our funds. They didn't even have a physical address considering that their office address is a work space! Our major issue centred around cash inflow to a business account. Their system shut off access when our balance hit 5+ M few hours after the account was opened. It means if my business blows tomorrow and someone makes a payment of 100 M, they would collapse. Today I now know why companies ask for your share certificate for your company and gives you contract based on that - capacity. There is a reason it is called Mobil Producing Nigeria UNLIMITED. Only the main street banks can handle business transactions for now. These willy-willy fintech banks should focus on susu and onidara. Lexusgs430:Yes. I would say Alat is a fintech bank - they incorporate financial services with technology (https://www.quora.com/Is-PayPal-a-fintech-company). I WOULD NEVER BANK WITH THEM for the foreseeable future. Today I bank with the Main Street banks in Nigeria. I have an account officer for all my businesses and my lawyers can call her private number anytime of the day to complain. That's what makes banking quite seamless for businesses. If e no be main street banks, pls avoid them. These willy-willy fintech banks seem to have a low threshold/tolerance for what makes for suspicious transactions because of CBN's hawkish and micromanaging stance. marylandcakes:Sorry about that. It is also ironic because during the lockdown period in Nigeria, bakery owners made astronomical profits. Any lessons from your bakery journey? Have you discussed your investments and findings with a thriving bakery owner and a financial analyst (street savvy)? |

Chukwaka16 - But Alat is just a baby of Wema bank.... Wema been an old generation bank from the high street(according to erico2k2)..... So invariably, Alat is Wema.... |

Please does anyone know how I can recover my funds from a crypto scam? I was made to believe I was trading in crypto with a UK registered company but now they are refusing to payout my capital and "profits". Is there a way I can recover my funds? I am tempted to drive to their office address but they may not be there as it may be a fake address. They are registered with company house. Anyone with similar experience? Thank you. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Phenmeson(m): 10:27am On Dec 01, 2020 |
5gee: Similar experience. I bought a flight ticket from London to Lagos from Medview Airline 2017. Flights cancelled on Christmas eve. Medview Airline japa with my money and other passengers money from UK. I have video evidence. Raised the issue with my local MP and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) but the Airline no even acknowledge any of the mails from CAA or my MP. Na do they close my chapter ooo. |

Please what are the genuine payment outlets to send pounds to naira. Afripay has good rate but poor customer care. They don't pick their calls. Has anyone tried using lycaremit? How is their service and how is the payment made to them? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Elderss: 1:44pm On Dec 01, 2020 |
famzynet: Lycaremit is good. I can now recommend them. My first transaction with them was a nightmare. It took calling them out on trustpilot before they attended to my request after 2 days. I guess it was due to verification delays. All my subsequent transactions with them have been wonderful. Beneficiaries get credited within 10mins of transaction. So, thumbs up to them. ![]() Moneyfex is also good. 2 Likes |

Chukwuka16: The bottom line is that you need a physical presence. Apart from the government pressures, the bakery manager was stealing seriously from me he even built his own house from the proceeds of his crime. 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: I recently had a client that called me to be his BA for a crypto business he wanted to start. I ended the call. All online coins are not regulated or monitored so if you lose money or get scammed, you’re on your own. I can imagine the faces of the police men or FCA agents you report being scammed of crypto currency to. They would just laugh and end the convo. |
