ONLINEbizDON4U: It's not like that as I run an active one personally myself which you can see recent picture proof at

https://www.nairaland.com/1002864/proof-verified-paypal-account-operated and just that I want to open

it for a friend.

I don't buy my VCC from them but I do buy from virtual-cc but was forced to buy from them because of two reasons:

1.Wanted to test their credibility on the provision of that and I contacted them and made my request known to them before paying and they told me to send $25.Do you know what?they tried to play upon my intelligent thinking that if they give me fake VCC so that they will blame me that I was the cause which they think as they taught that I'm a newbie and I"m sure that that wont be their 1st time of doing that to people.

2.Virtual-cc which Ive been using had problem with their payment for ordering page and thank God that they are back now.

Note that having a VCC to verify your PayPal is not the main thing to use in running paypal successfully from Nigeria as some strictly guidelines are required which most so called paypal gurus dont know or do not want to tell you.

Anyway,I rest my case and I needed and do use paypal account because I'm a serious Internet Marketer and every serious marketer need a PayPal account to be paid and to pay as it is still the most secure way to be paid and pay people.

Thanks and goodluck and note that these sites will scam you if you move so close to them.

See, I know how to open and verify paypal but I don't do anything with them. I know about all the virtual-cc , liberty reserve and chinese or south address way of verifying paypal but I don't want to have anything to do with them.

They freeze accounts of Americans and other paypal accepted countries users so, who are you? My friend operated paypal here in 9ja for 3months till it was limited. Recently, less than 5 days ago, an American said paypal has frozen his account with 8000 US DOLLARS in there, so what are you telling me.

People are crazy about using ebay to buy stuff, yet Amazon exist and alibaba too. Why go through all this just to get this done when there are alot of alternatives?

We want to make money off paypal, yet the same money and its naira equivalent can be made here if you are smart enough to sport the opportunities.

Look, I don't have a paypal account but if I wanted to get anything done online, I can.

ONLINEbizDON4U: Good day fellow nairalanders.

I hate to be scammed and people to be scammed and I do try my best to fish out scamming sites eventhough that I will loose cash.

Imagine a site sold VCC for verifying non USA Paypal account for $25 for you and you chatted with them asking them if they have as advertise on their site but I saw their advert to be confusing though.

Imagine that 2 VCCs were sent to you:
The first one was added but could not be linked to it and another one which they claimed to be a replacement which was sent after sending them screenshots of the former one was not even accepted and in the long run,the account got limited by PayPal.

The site is ecurrencyzone . com once again and be very careful with them.

I termed them SMART SCAMMER because the way they replied me at first with up 4 messages and what they finally said.

They taught that I was a quack Internet guy because I intentionally did that all because I wanted to know their credibility before deciding to scam me and later got to know that I'm not a JJC.

I will try my best to post our conversations here with screenshots when I'm on laptop as I'm on mobile now.

Beware that scammers are all over the Internet even the white men and shine your eyeballs very well.

Once again ecurrencyzone . com who just scammed me $25 this week and moneyalter . com that scammed me $64 last year December are real SCAMMERS.

Goodluck... and share and reveal more other SCAMMERS and their sites here also.

i don't know why people would want to have anything to with paypal. For heaven sake, paypal already to you that they don't want you. Why kill yourself over it?

klaus3011: Ever since kessee the guy from ghana was cheated in season 3 and chidinma was given the jeep and prize moneyy for the first position!!!ℓ̊ lost every inch of hope of any competion being trasparent and fair in dis country!!not only m̶̲̥̅ƹ ,lots of pple in d studio dat day!!noo wonder season 4 was a flop!!not reallly xpectin anyfin fantastic dis season

even malta guiness street dance did the same thing in 2009 or 10. There was this group that did pretty well combined with some creativity and crazy stunt. It was there I first the song "Alhaji, Alhaji..."

I also have a friend who has got some bad a55 voice like that shawn of boys2men and has been to project fame audition twice in Benin and he was not picked. I think for all this audition, one has to be a good entertainer in order to get picked.

afam4eva: People will always tell you what they know you want to hear. You think those mediocre singers that came to aaudition did not receive compliments from family and frriends who told them how great their voices are and bla bla bla. Pls before you go disgrace yourself on nationak TV, send me your audio so that I can tell you the truth as an outsider. Don't listen to what your friends and family arre telling you. They're lieing to you cos they want you to be happy.

bro... Seriously, my case is not like that. I am talking about a voice that would make a girl go crazy. Though, I have stopped using it to woo ladies for obvious reason.

I did an acapella with a fellowship brother and sister at school fellowship and you need to be there. I know when someone does not know how to sing.

My kind of songs are mostly blues, the likes of boy2men are my number 1 mentor. But I just don't take singing serious compared to those who aren't as good as I am. The truth is that I don't like facing crowd and that made me hide my talent.

A guy once asked me what I have been doing with my voice when he heard me singing but I could hardly give a good reply. Am kinda shy though and that's the problem.

willsman: @Legal wealth, i thank you very much dear but i wsh you could give me your MTN number as well as to reach you on phone easily without hindrance on the subject ok? Thanks dear.

I sent you one last email but you never replied. Hope you found the guy you were looking for?

soloqy: For the personalised one with your name written on it is 1 week. For the one without your name written on the card is the same day collection.

If you goto their national headquarter in Lagos, you will the personalise within 30 minutes of applying. *winks*

spikedcylinder: So all those shinny looking babes, na pop corn dem dey beg for?

na wa o , na wa 4nigeria women. Na wa o, na wa for nigerian women *blasting shina Peters*

mcstan_18: Just be ready to start receiving scam mails from 'virtual' ladies with that address you just exposed

I know bro. Them don try in the past and don retire na. . . I don't fall for that crap. My spam folder is always alert. Thanks btw.

afam4eva: Everyone thinks they're talented

well for me, I know I got the voice but funny enough, I don't take singing serious.

I am not praising myself but imagine people telling you from childhood till adulthood that 'hey you got a nice voice' but I never used it other than entertaining myself.

I think one big negative factor is hating to face the crowd.

anitank: Seriously?? If after all d evidence d woman gave, u still support Jim Iyke, den u're a bigger fool dan I thot. The woman helped out of pity, she probably didn't even narate evry single detail of her conservation wit Jimmy's mum. Did u read d part wher d woman said 'she had suffered' and of cos d part wher she made Habiba promise to help her and her children?? And who dosnt kip records of business transactions? Some of u are really annoying

you are the bigger fool. Even though I don't know much about this woman, but reading what she gave up there is clear that she isn't telling the whole truth.

Do you even know that the court has discharge Jim Iyke of all charges due to the inability of the woman to back up her claims with concrete evidence? I read about it about 2 or 3 weeks ago

You are just a slowpoke and as blind as a bat to see. Common sense is not common.

12 inches!:
Sometimes wen I think of the way many girls I have dated behave I start to bliv that they are no good girls only parasites and wolves bt wen I remember my last ex gf....I knw I tell myself a lie...WONDERFUL GIRLS EXIST...Jst a dyin breed.

same here.... My last made a difference but she did break up with me for her own reasons.

Dranatomy: Talk in English so dat i can hear you

Write in English so that I can understand.

pendo89: The problem at times with NL is that people give advice based on the bad experiences only.
We live out the good,those that succeeded.
Nway.its a mindset.

Sorry mate, I am yet to have a good experience... So, I don't have any good experience to share.

Julieccentric: Oh thanks...what if the guy has got his own problems?besides hw come younger guys don't ask me out like around 28 to 30..I am always having suitors around 35 upward..really funny buh its the truth.

can you give a little describtion your self. I mean hight and size? Are you big? Or maybe you look much older than your age.

Whatelse can I say.

acidtalk: *coughs and then sip a glass of water*

18months to settle down you say?
Now let's set your priorities straight and that of the lady in question.

The average Nigerian familt wants their daughter to get married after her first degree. The only two exceptions in this case are; The lady gets pregnant and her people are ashamed of her giving birth to the baby in their home or she is from an almost below average home (poor family background) as such they want her to go so that they can feed (minus one mouth) less mouth.

Secondaly most girls in this age bracket are not in anyway desperate to get married. They still see themselves as beauty queens because they sometimes get as much as 5-10 toasters everyday because of their youthful nature. This will make them assume they will remain 'hot cake' for ever and think there will always be that suitor waiting to get married to them whenever they are ready.

Except for few families which still nuture their female children, its almost common for most ladies within that age range to learn basic home chores in their boyfriend's place.

Though not in all cases, but if you are one who cares a lot about financial management and knowledge, most young ladies in that age bracket might not fit in. The want to get the latest phone, gadget, hand bag and fashion accessories to meet up with their peers. If you are not one of those guys that spend frivolously on a lady when it isn't relevant, she might term you stingy as won't consider settling down with you because she rarely knows what is the difference between necessity and wants.

Above all Intelligence, if you are a serous minded and fast thinker, it might be an hill task finding a lady that will match your intelligence. I am not talking of knowing latest music, movie or celebrity gist. I am talking of beneficial reasoning.

If you don't mind the above, then you can stick with them and groom them with patience. Otherwise maybe you should stick with the law of nature that "the older the wine, the better it taste".

Yay! Acid talk, you have just hit the nail on the head.

My ex used to say "... You know I am a young beautiful girl" blah blah blah. And she got 'd.i.c.ked' and dumped. Na me she want to carry used tissue? O boy see on the run. Foolish dog!

overkill®:
There's absolutely nothing wrong in dating a girl in her early 20s. I got married at 21 and I'm very happy and fullfilled! Age is just a number!

there's lady and your case is 1/10. So, don't speak for others. I'm talking from experience.

Piro4rl: DONT TAKE HER SERIOUS RATHER LET HER BE THE ONE TO TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP MORE SERIOUSLY.

the same thing I told him.

Sijo01: there are some early twenties dat more cool headed and also kno wat dey want more dan some late twenties......in others words, maturity is not defined by age.

My experience with them does not say otherwise.

What is the essence of acting foolish at early 20's and acting matured at late 20's? That is full blown foolishness if ask me. Some people say ladies mature faster than their male counterpart but I don't think that is true because most of them lack wisdom.

If you take action without reasoning what the effect will be, then you are foolish and lack wisdom. I had a girl 2007 and by 2009 we broke up because of her crazy attitude. She was 21 when we started. She was acting faster than her shadow, wanting to eat her cake and have it and at the end, she had herself to blame. Is this how you categorise someone as being more matured than the male counterpart, someone without wisdom? By 2012 she said I dont call her anymore or text her as I used to do and I said when I did all that, she never valued it. I asked her why she behave the way she did back then and her reply was that she didn't know what she was doing back then and that she's now grown up. Really?

I don't think so. I had similar experience with girls within that age bracket and I just dey my own now ...I beg no nonsense.

Sijo01: I dont see the issue here!

there is an issue and infact a lot of issues. Most girls within that age are crazy set off species. Infact, OP just go with mind of catching fun and don't attach much importance in your dealings with such girl. Don't even take it as a serious relationship so that when they start their madeness, you won't get burnt.

SimplySEA: Ha...... Wat a relief! Wisdom atlast in NL. Where hav people been? Nice to meet u all!
@ miss spicy. I must say dis. Yr use of English is jus too clean 4a third class grad. It Speaks volumes for other non academic factors dat affect student's performance in our academic system! I kno many 2.1 grads wit very poor use of English, both in writin as well as speakin.
@mr Ajans, u're truly an inspiration!

shey na people wey dey cram to pass? Abeg, leave that matter. My roommate always dwell on past question because most lecturers often repeat what they had set before. Well his grades are better than mine.

This not to say that I can' t do better than he. I had a serious emotional struggle at the start of my HND program due to the lose of my mother and as a result, I was alway thinking of where to get money from and this affected my grades. But this same me did superbly well at OND... I guess this explain why most people grad with poor grades.

spicy v: What worked for me may not work for someone else, really? Now let me reveal one fact to you, I have heard top HR consultants say the reason they raise the bar that high (demanding those so called great grades) is because they know the ridiculous number θf unemployed youths seeking employment and such requirement (2:1) does a great job θf reducing the number! Imagine that!

Another fact you need to know is that business owners are looking for people with solutions and if you are that candidate, the job is yours! You should also bear in mind that those preferred degree may get you the job but it is only your wit that will keep you in the job or make you indispensable! These are tested principles and they will work for anyone! While I am not encouraging young people to be nonchalant with their academics, I insist that if you do not have the onus to defend you Masters degree, you can't have the job! ( Not taking into cognizance the corrupt paractices in Naija o)

I have always known that the reason for the embago placed was a way to auto-screen applicant ant necessarily the other way round. Plus the issue of age...

admitme: These trying Times? when all man want Money, and GEJ is not making life easier for Nigerians.

If GEJ is not making life easy, who would you blame, he or those that voted him?

Hi, you commented on my thread at the career section and I have since reply. Pleaso check it out.

Anyway, you can download some naija music at http://www.naijamusic.net/mobile_index.php

akpumping7720: A friend of mine has N5000 wit him and he needs someone who can design a blog for him. And makes money from d blog through ads and other means. Please any expert in the house who can design d blog for him for dis amount should drop his mailbox or phone number and he will get back 2 d person of his choice bèfore d end of dis month through me.

Ogbeni, talk truth. Na u wan use am. 5k to do a blog. Okay, but bad luck b say my modem is broken and I would have done it for you.

envee: OMG.....U dug me out.! I actually forgot I wrote that a while ago.

Truth is; I have been a bit selfish to teach and that was really naïve on my part. I am older and wiser now I have to agree with your observation.
I totally like cross-selling concept 'tho I'v never tried it before. Its definitely a good idea since it will involve d sale of the materials that'll be required for my designs.

I am highly motivated already.
Thank you for your advices!


@Acidtalk: I can't thank you enough for this thread!
God bless you.

Would you like free nation-wide advertisement? Try article marketing but make sure that you have a website in place so that people will be confident enough to do business with you and I hope you are good at what you do. I would have loved to expanciate on article marketing, which only a very few Nigerians are using now. Infact, this is how I planned to do my small business while I am at NYSC camp. You may book me to design your website for you free if you will pay the hosting which is N5,500 for one year. I will not charge you for the design and set up of the website. Infact, I will be doing one for a fellow member here(newacca) and we have agreed to a month from now when I shall be free from school wahala. I will also go a step further by helping you on how to use article marketing to pull through free advertisement while clients contact you from every corners of Nigeria. Who knows, you may be given contract from anywhere in Nigeria from this alone because many eyes will see your article.

Do you know the smartest thing? How many people have you seen that are doing this,specifically in your niche? Almost non! I have read newspapers almost everyday at school and I am yet to see people doing it and those that are doing it are very few and non in your niche. I type all this via mobile since my modem is broken but when I get a new one, this forum will feel me real good! But project things first.

feelamong: Good One Acidtalk...

Been taking notes all the while ..Am a wine dealer but I have a wife who ios job seeking that is so academically inclined...she wants to become a lecturer in the Public health area and notin else..she does consults for people at times but this job comes sparingly....

I have told her to create a business model around her consulting but she is not that business inclined....she is so much an introvert....

I have also told her to set up a side business that will earn a few bucks for her as she keeps looking for the breakthru consulting job...how can one make her see reason in being business oriented, to go out and look for the consulting contracts/contacts?

Great advice because consulting pays BIG if she does it rightly. Are currently in Lagos?

The blood of any business is marketing and advertising and I tell you, if you master these, you will always smile to the bank.

I would have given some pointers but I would prefer to do this with my laptop but unfortunately, a friend destroyed my modem.

Hopefully, I should get one soon.

BTW, Kudos to Acidtalk
