Unbelievable as the story seems to be, It is one of the most guided secrets in town at the moment. Nobody believe that the handsome son of one of Nigeria's richest men could be involved in such transaction problem.

The young man who is regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors in Nigeria works with his father's telecom company as a top executive.

According to news at the disposal of gistmaster.com, the young man was alleged to have reneged on his promise involving a business deal. The other fellow who felt cheated by the billionaire's son had to report him to a special anti- fraud unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

Those who think that the man was too much  for police arrest were shocked when he was contacted, invited and interrogated by the men of the Nigerian Police Force. He was later rescued by his father who ensure that the disagreement over the transaction was sorted out. More on the story later

10 things that Kate Middleton will not do after she becomes a princess

With the royal wedding just hours away , i am sure that most ladies wished they were the ones in Kate Middleton's Reiss, Louboutins or Manolos,flaunting those gorgeous hair fascinators. Well 'Hate not' as Kate does have her own fair share off looses but not like most commons . Kate Middleton will not only lose the name, but will give up to have a public opinion about any area should be about.

To be part of the British royal family requires the Court to follow the label. Without it you can not, and Kate Middleton will definitely feel changes in her life, more so because it is the first member of the royal family that is not royalty.

Here are a few below.



1. Kate Middleton will no longer exist. The official title will be “HRH Princess William of Wales, and Kate will be Catherine.

2. Do not vote. Theoretically, members of the royal family were allowed to vote, but do not because that would be unconstitutional and would not meet the criterion of neutrality. This keeps the image of royalty, the identifice to every member of society.

3. She  will not run for any political office for the same reasons above.

4. She avoid as much as possible to be criticized by the public.

5. Will not play Monopoly. In 2008 Prince Andrew said that the game of Monopoly has been banned in the royal family, because “it gets too vicious.”

6. Will not and will not say anything controversial. That will not express any personal opinion, not miscalculation.

7.Will not eat shellfish because the royal family does not eat, a tradition which is the fear of poisoning.

8. She will not work.
Not a problem for Kate Middleton, which until 29 years had only a few temporary jobs.

9. There will be no remaining non-paper sign. As a potential future adviser to the King, Kate Middleton would be in the future to sign official documents, why should not allow his signature to be copied or forged.

10. She would not finish the meal. That is, if she eat more slowly than the Queen. The label requires that when the Queen stops eating to not eat anyone, even if she has a fork in hand.

CUSTOMERS LAMENT LONG QUEUES IN BANKS AND POOR SERVER DELIVERY IN ATM SERVICES

By gistmaster.com

Nigerians using bank services have been lamenting the state of technology infrastructure used by most of the banks. Findings by Gistmaster.com show it was easier for a camel to pass through a niddle hole than for them to access payment using ATM machines.

Worse still, most of those abroad trying to send payments home via internet services were caught in the web of ‘the server is down’ notice. A UK resident who spoke to gistmaster.com said it was frustrating to get payment done through the Gtbank website. As expected, there was huge turn out at branches of most financial institutions on Wednesday after the holiday.

Most branches of GTBANK witnessed long queues. Most customers believe that GTBank has one of the largest customer base but they should  spend more money on building their IT infrastructure to be effective. The queues persisted on Thursday 28 April 2011 with most of ATM machines witnessing interrupted server service and the long queues inside the banks unbearable.

GTBANK, Founded by Fola Adeola and his Tayo Aderinokun is regarded as one of the best banks in Nigeria. It has a commendable customer base. After the short crises in the banking sector involving the arrest of some bank CEOs, most people left the affected banks to open account with GTbank and others. Those who spoke to gistmaster.com think if Nigeria must move forward in transactions,banks should invest well on IT.
