Yes, it is possible and its suppose to reflect on your account. I don't use GTB naira card for my online transaction because it seems that there's a lot of site that don't accept it,though I have it.

When I paid for webhosting with my UBA Africard(a similar naira card) and my hosting company refunded my money, they didn't tell me. They just refunded the money and I got an sms alert instantly.

But he won the election,didn't he? Well, I don't much about the drug pushing or any illegal claims you have against MKO.

Who Killed Saro Wiwa?

For years I have watched how this ruthless vagab**s rule our beloved country and almost bleeding her dry to death. I can't help but wish they all die.

In subsequent cases, there have been suggestions to kill this rogues in the same vein as implemented in Ghana.

Which of them do you want killed?

I want IBB dead for the betrayal of MKO in the June 12 election,1993.

Yes, they ship to your door step but you pay the shipping fee and tell them how you want it to be shipped,either via DHL AND UPS. . .

Thanks all for the response.

I found out that he earned that much because it was a government employ which he got in 2010, i was not expecting to see it and I did not believe such would leak out but it did.

Its not that we were asking anything from him as if he was an ATM but I also do believe that 'we all need somebody to lean on' Lean on me, when you are not strong and I be your friend, I will help you carry on but it won't be am gonna need somebody too lean on'.
The fact that he is in States and being a medical doctor does not mean that I can't help or safe him someday. Its a small world you know?

I am furthering my education and I have just next year to graduate and start my own life. Thanks to my friends who really understand my plight.

Hello Nairalanders,

What you are about to read is REAL and from the horses mouth.

Long before my mother had me and my other siblings, she had a son for another man. This man went to the states and came back with a black American woman , thus the reason they had to separate. From what my mother told us, she fought the man and took him to court and made sure that he took his son with him and all this happen over 30 years ago.

After the son was taken to the states, my mother could not reach her son for 27 years and she wrote series of letter to the father to grant her access to her son but all to no avail. and the same search continued for 27years without success. Though as my mother later found out, the father received most of the letters but did not allow the son see them. We later found out that as the son grew to a certain age, he had a quarrel with his step mother who is the same black woman that the father came with to Nigeria years back and the woman told him that she was not his mother and that the mother was in Nigeria. The guy was heart broken and demanded that the father either take him to his mother or bring the mother to him but the man told a lie against my mum that she refused to marry him.

Years gone by, 27 years long separation from mother and child the search continued. Some how along the line, we got a fax number to the BINI association in the US and we contacted them and my mother stated her side of the story and how she has desperately been searching for her son for the past 27 years with no success. She gave the man's name and his home town. they BINI association in the US took it up and queried the father of my half brother. This was like a soil to his name, being a professor and the son now a medical doctor.

I on my own part kept searching the internet to see if I can get any traces of his email or phone number and to God be the glory, I found one which we used to contact him and he replied saying that he did not know what to say but promised to come to Nigeria for the first time since he left at the age of 6. He arrived Nigeria December 2004 AND IN 2005 we got a call that he was in Nigeria. My mother was over the moon and we all went to see him. Everything seem fine and we left thereafter.

He gave a phone number to my mum which she can use to reach him and after we left and he went back to the states, we called the same phone number and it would ring but nobody to pick the calls. I had to inform him through the email I found on the internet. we communicated through email from thereon and no phone calls from him. sometimes, I will call him he would pick and this could only happen after over 100 tries. I later found out that the number was his home phone number. Several request for his mobile number proved futile as he just didn't not want to give it out.

Anyway, we continued communicating via emails and most times, my mother will write to him requesting why he does not want to call her or ask how she is doing. This went on for over two years after his visit to Nigeria. Though it later occured to me that the guy felt we are just after his money. Despite that, I kept writing to him to let him know about my mother's health conditions which developed after falling in the bathroom. When she fell, we thought all was well till she started having difficulties to walk . We took her to series herbal homes for bone treatment and she also took drugs from hospital for the same cause.

I kept telling my half brother to do something for his mother before it was too late. I did not even know what made me utter such a statement but it was somewhat like a prophesy. My my mother could not walk for too long and we could barely do much since we lack the proper finance for this. After my OND, I was home in 2008 and I had the time to help massage my mother's back and if this is not done she could hardly walk. I kept asking my half brother for financial assistance to help put my mom in good shape but his reply would look as if he was interested and later, he would repeat questions he had asked before concerning the same issue. I pleaded, I beg and told him that I would be bothering him if I had the money to take care of my mother.

This went on till one day in 2008, December 2010, my mother started complaining of stomach pains. I believe this could be as a result of the medication should took but at that time there was no money to take her to the hospital. i could not tell my half brother because I knew that it was just going to be the same old story, because he had already nurtured the notion that we were just after his money.

My mother died after 3 days. I felt so much pain because she had a son that had all the capacity to save her life and he did not care.I know he feels that she did not raise him but how long can this go on I wondered. He kept demanding that we should build a relationship first but this same demand went on for over two years. The same person who demanded that we build a relationship never called he mother but once till she died.

After my mother's death, things got worse and even feeding became a problem. I remember drinking bowls of garri almost everyday and I kept believing that God will prevail. In 2009 me and my siblings kept our faith and we held on to each other. Our love for grew stronger as each day pass by. We had to leave the our house to look for a room and a palour which we could afford. I could not continue with my education. Even at that time, I still contacted my half brother for help. it took him almost forever to send me $250 and he warned me never to ask him for anything again.

I still wanted to go back to school and continue my education since I am the only one with that interest but there was no way to finance my education. I remember coming to Nairaland in 2009 to beg for this cause and got no response. I understand that it is not easy to just give money out like but I wanted to let you know how bad things were at that time. I did all sort menial jobs just to survive till 2010.

Frankly, it is good to be good to people even if they are not your brother or sister. I remember when I was doing my OND and I helped some of my friends with food and some with money. After our OND, some got jobs with Oil companies and believe it or not, this same people bought my admission form, they paid my school fees and I have just next year to round up my HND.

We went through all this but my half brother did not care to do anything about our situation. My dad is long dead.
My question now is that being raised in the USA, does it mean that one has to become so heartless?
I sent my half brother a text yesterday and saying hello. and he replied that he is fine and that it seem things are hard for us in Nigeria and that are we holding up ok? I had to tell him that we are not. I told him that after my mum's death, I stopped schooling as well as my younger sister. I told him that my friends are the ones who helped me got back to school. He did not reply ever since that time till now. I even told him that I currently dont have a place to stay since our house was destroyed by flood in 29th of September while I was writing my exam in school. I told him that I don't like complaining to him because I feel he always perceived the truth a lies, which is obvius in his attitude

I am the only one who still communicate with him but my elder brother and sister dont because they are somewhat not happy with him, including my younger sister.

About 3 weeks ago, I googled him and noticed that his salary is $350,000 but this same person could not do anything safe my mother's life.

Dear Nigerians in the USA, are Nigerians who grew up in the states this heartless?

I have my watchful eagle eyes on her. I will find out if she is actually dating someone else.

Talk2xp, thanks 4ur advice. Let me just give her sometime as most people suggested. Like I said, am not too weak to walk away. Its just that she earned my respect because she bestowed so much love and care on me at the initial stage.

And I SWEAR, no girl ever did so for me.

But if at the end of waiting for her after a year plus she ended up hanging out with another dude, well I will wish her good luck and move on. But one thing I am very certain about is that Its VERY hard to come across a guy like me in Naija and I know what am talking about. I just don't want to make it seem so and otherwise she may percieve arrogance and bragging.
Anyways, I believe she should know better than that after all her woes. She even confessed that NO guy EVER bought anything for her but I did buy her few things more than once.

Thank you all for time and advice,either good or bad.

Yes, they do but risky. I have a friend in Naija who operates paypal but what he does is to load it with money he can afford to loss and fund his flippa account with it. Paypal has never given him problem cos they know its chicken change account. But if u load the account heavily, then the paypal search light will be on u.

What I do online requires the use of paypal but I dont have a personal paypal account. I use my American friend's paypal account who is based in the U.S.

Thank you Niiade and krech. . .I will do just that. I am patient and she kind of know it. I will wait for her.

O boy d babe fine o. Lol. Actually the most beautiful of them all. Non of my exes can match her beauty but her manners won my heart and not her beauty.

Adeaugustus, so u don forget adsense abi? Na fiverr now ehn?

This is why many Naija guys fail online. Jumping from pillar to post in search for the illusive easy online money that is in no existence-- a total mirage.

Listen up and read this: you can't operate fiver without having a paypal account and I believe you know that paypal does not accept Nigerians. Why not work on what you and I talked about a few weeks back when you called at about 7:30pm?

Its not easy anywhere but the internet only made it simpler. Get that drilled into your skull.

Roll up your sleeves and get dirty;hard work pays!

If not for the issue with paypal, I would have suggested website flipping.

Man, this is a x2 profit system. Its like killing 2birds with one stone.

For instance, if you are making just fifty dollars from adsense on your blog, and you make that amount every month for at least 3months, you are sure to get nothing less than five hundred dollars for it. Now your fifty dollars time 3 months= one hundred and fifty dollars, right? Plus the five hundred dollars = six hundred and fifty dollars.

But what some folks do is that they sell 5 -10 adsense sites at a go and that often earn them nothing less than $ 2 5 0 0.

If you like believe or not believe it. I have seen it happen several times at www.flippa.com . Just go the and click on the 'just sold' tab . Like they say, SEEING IS BELIEVING!

And thats why I wonder why people come to nairaland and say they xyz money but do not know what to do with it.

nevosys:
Can i use the card to pay for my facebook and www.oceansms.com google adwords account?

Nobody knows about that yet. Why don't you just apply for the card firt and then try it on facebook or google to see if they will accept it and then come back here to let us know the outcome.

The only place we know to have accepted the card are the ones stated by me and the OP(praiseph). I tried it at namecheap.com and hostgator.com and it was accepted. The OP use it at aliexpress.com and it was accepted so, try it at facebook or google and let's see.

To get the card, you won't spend more than N100(naira) which comes with funding. And comparing it to GTB naira mastercard where you need to pay 3k just to activate alone and that money will not be available on your card. It was based this that I refused to activate my Gtb card. Thank God I Found UBA Africard.

To those that want me to move on, its not that I am too weak to do so, but I still feel this girl needs help either way.

Frankly, she earned my respect. Other girls have failed severely in this aspect because while we dated, they hardly called me or send me text or even bought anything for me. But this girl did what my exes couldn't do.

I remember when I fell ill it was just a text that I sent to inform her that I was ill and she did her best and I knew I had someone with a heart. Other girls wouldn't care but they know how to ask for recharge card, ask for birthday gift etc--complete parasitic relationship,no mutuallism.

She has been really hurt and she kept reminding me of it, till she opted to stay out of dating.

I ask you a question: would you see a nice girl and would let her go? I value good things and I know it when I see one. Her type are hard to find and so are my type. I believe she knows it as well.

How long do you really think this will take? Will it really take more than a year or two before she would finally come back?

Please house, advice me on how I should handle this situation. Just put yourself in the shoes of my girl or me and give your best advice. Thank you

I will need more contributions for this. Guys help with the best advice that you have

Toyemz, thank you so much. I will do as you say. The truth is that each time I say to her that I would love to wait, her response is alway that if I can wait, I should wait and If I don't want to wait, I should.

She also said she doesn't know when she will be ready and she just want to be alone because its not worth it being a relationship.

But all the same I will be there for her as a friend and would continue to do my part. I will be the best I can be for her and would continue to do what I have always done for her--loving herI. Initially thought of doing the opposite but after reading your reply, I feel anew again.

Thank you high chief. I really appreciate your time.

I also want this girl to be happy and I believe this could be a test in disguise, one that could mean I should show what I could do for her.

She's the only one that ever cared for me and the only that had ever bought me something. Others only want me to be buying for them and not the other way round.

Thanks guys.

Thanks. . . I know its all about her emotions and what she is constantly thinking.

That's why suggested waiting for her because I know that I can find peace with her. She does not bother me at all with her problems or constantly ask me to buy her things and she is the sincer type.

I don't think any of this could have happened if not for what happened with other guys. I believe she deserve to be happy and I really want to make it so, but her phobia is a big obstacle.

High_Chief:
@OP----am sure something must have made her take that decision, if she only sent you a text "its over" maybe she is not serious with that. She might also want to know how much you want her. So why dont you go and find out what actually happened, thou she might still be carrying baggages from her past relationships, hence she feels insecured. If you truly love as you claim, then go after her.

I love this girl like crazy and she knows it but I dont want to pressurize her. She sounded as though she had made up her mind and I know she has.

She really showed so much interest in the beginning and that's why everything is like a dream to me.

She said she just want to make sure that she is doing the right thing and not jump into a relationship based on emotion,but by logical reason. That's why I said I want to wait for her but her response a few minutes back seem I might be taking a big risk if I do

Sij01, it may be hard for to believe this, but I am not the problem.

She said she just want to be alone does not think its worth being in a relationship.

In her last text to me, she said I am really a nice guy and that she can't deny that fact. The problem is her emotions.
Listen to me, I know what it means when a girl decide to leave a guy that is nice and I know that its not easy to come across like me in this present world. The least most wants to do is have intimacy and dumb the girl but am not like that. She was a victim of this but I assured her that I wouldn't do the same and I did.
I asked her if she was dumbing me for another guy and she said no but she just want to be out of dating till she is ready and so I asked if I should wait for her till she is ready. Her reply was that if I can wait, i should but my guy, I can't take that risk knowing what girls are capable of doing.Though I can but I can't trust her with that cos she said what if I wait and meet her with someone later

Ah.Where do I start from?A few minutes ago, I confirmed it was really over.
She was the only one that ever made me feel loved, the only one who ever showed care, the only one who did what no other girl ever did for me. Though it may be of little value to someone, but it meant the world to me.

She said she wants the relationship to work out as her earnest desire.She said she loved me and so many text and calls streamed through my phone and I did like wise.

Though she had had some bad experience in the past and guys didn't value her like I did,she thanked God for leading me to her.

Later on, she would say she is scared of this and that and I would console her that I would stand by her and make her forget the past.

Thereafter it got worse. She stopped calling me and this went on for a month but I still called her.
Then she sent me a text that it was over!

I just could not understand what went wrong. Man, ladies are something else. I so much love this girl beyond her imagination.

Its only the foolish myopic ones that does this but unfortunately, over 80% of them are.

I am naturally a guy that likes to give not because am dating a lady but because I understand the need, but out of four that I have dated, only one did not behave that way.

I ended my relationship on basis that they think I have to give because am dating them. Sorry, I never called you an ashawo.

Some Nigerian dude are sanely insane. They verily forget that a woman brought them into this world, Carried them for 9months in her womb and fed them during their helpless infantry age.

OP, I wished you never knew your mother just like thousands of motherless babies. You should have been the dumb at canal,gutter or killed in the gutter just like a baby I saw in 2008.

You seem to forget that you have a sister. Man, since I lost my mother, I can stand it when I see the daring mothers under the sun in markets all fighting to feed their children whom they hope will do likewise when they are old. I cant stand to see a child refusing to help his mother buy something in the market which she can use to preparing the days meal. I cant stand to see a child insult his mother. Man if this happens, and you are my friend, i bet you will may end up exchanging blows and I mean it.

Our mothers or any femine gender deserve medal of honour for the sacrifices they made for us.

I never wanted to comment here but I now see a reason I should comment.

It is true that most people who really make money online are those who sell ebooks and not in practise. I tell you. . . Its a world wide thing,not only Naija.

Not that it is not possible to make money online but all this guys who sell ebooks here and there makes it look that way.

Online money is real and I am willing to prove it to anyone.

In 2010, I introduce my very close friend into site flipping(selling) and he got the ebook from me and read it. He went into action and took a BIG risk. The guy borrowed 30k. I never knew about this until die minutes when the owner was asking for his money. My friend bought fuel with the money and got to work dirty. The guy was not sleeping at all. And I mean it. He was writing like crazy(because most online biz needs writing). Anyway, he wrote 160 articles in one month and sold the site at four hundred dollars. So you see? Making money online is not for lazy people.
