YES THEY CAN! Even Facebook warns you that if you open a fanpage using the name of an existing brand, they can revoke it, and give it to the original owner. Some people simply squat on domain names to demand money from the real owners of those brand names.

Of course, in other countries there may be a compensation or something, but in Nigeria, they just take it!

please stop using words wrongly, only God is almighty.


Hypocrite. Did God invent the word "Almighty" ? Did you have a problem with your Math teacher in high school when he taught you how to solve quadratic equation using the ALMIGHTY formula? The problem is not the usage of the word, the problem is your level of comprehension. Nigerians, always bringing God and religion into everything. #Pathetic

@TalkTalkTwins

And a friend just bought a domain name from NIRA and they refused to release the domain name, claiming that it was "specially for the sports organisation in Nigeria" and "they can need it anytime..."

My questions are:
How can they seize it after purchase?
Why didn't they specify it as GoDaddy and others do?
Don't you think they want to resell the domain later? This is to the disadvantage of the poor blogger.

They are even asking him to choose another name and people are suggesting that he sue them.
Nigerians shaa...
Nairalanders please put mouth in this matter...
A good way for the guy to make money. Let him sue them and claim damages of 50M Naira over a business he needs to start with the domain.

Their reason is wack！
