How Can NIRA Seize Someone's Domain After Purchase? by TalkTalkTwins(m): 9:25pm On Jan 02, 2018
@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...

NIRA is definitely run by the same incompetence and impunity fueling corruption in Nigeria. Even the almighty Google had to compensate a dude who accidentally was able to re-register Google.com on their own host. I doubt getting a lawyer would do any good, they are all the same corrupt system.

Sue them. Their reasons for seizing it is baseless. Once a domain is registered, it belongs to you. My thoughts are same as yours, they want to resell it.

Yes they can if the domain violates their terms and conditions. But I believe there is no designated mention of sports classification. Person wan use you shine this new year.

NIRA is subject to an international body that oversees domain issues. Let him sue them at the global level.

That is how they stupidly run the place, most top .ng domains usually goes to the highest bidder and that's why foreigners own most of these top .ng domains.

Yes NIRA can. It's a question of circumstance. Their rules allow them to suspend a domain name in certain circumstance. All the info is available on their website

NiRA is a registry. It has registrars ( companies who broker the sales of domain i.e act as middle men), then we have the registrant who request for such. When you make such request, your registrar will have to check the validity of the domain before they agree for the process. What those registrar check is the availability and not the validity. for example a well known case where nigeria.ng was requested and processed by the registrar only to discover that it was not a valid name by the time it got to NiRA.
You are supposed to table this before your registrar and not the registry.

For the guy that spoke about Google.com . You cant register google.com with NiRa only Google.NG. This is a premium domain and attracts much. The registrar and NiRA could not reach an amiable settlement thus the imbrigilo.

For the records, I am not a NiRa staff nor amongst it BODs.
Just wanted to help clarify issues.

You religious fanatics! As far as the internet is concerned Google rules. So you should understand my view point, and stop publicizing your ignorance.

Mr. Clarifier, I'm not talking of domains you can register with NIRa, rather giving an example of international best practices. Some one registered Google.com on Google's own domain hosting service (https://domains.google), which was clearly a technical glitch, but Google compensated the Indian guy, even when they had rights to seize the domain or claim he hacked into the system.
