ajl: Don't be emotional, read the law against acts like this and ensure compliance. Flipping domains is done everywhere but countries are increasingly criminalising it as a form of cyber opportunism and a criminal attempt to benefit from the Goodwill of another brand. 3 Likes |

LaudableXX: Not all acronyms would be a hit. You want a domain that is unique and easy to remember. If I were him I would have grabbed all sensible domain names possible. |

bakila:Is that what you think? Or what you know? You think govt will let a person off the hook, after crying that he is being witch-hunted? How many PDP politicians like Dariye & co, were let off the hook despite their cries? Is your guy as powerful or as connected, as they are? |

Intelxiii: Doesn't exactly work that way, after 2 years the domain name is not returned, it is auctioned off, and if there are no buyers it goes to a waiting area where it might be eventually recycled. All of this can take several year. |

Even if the government doesn't buy the domain from him, he can use it to impersonate or phish. Very real and official address |

No matter how smart he is. He can never get the attention of the Nigerian government especially when the contract is given to a private firm. The are so many domain names to manipulate out of Nigeria Air or Air Nigeria. If you Are In Rivers State, Check My Signature |

I believe there is a clause in the NIRA guidelines that allows them to take over domains in the interest of the Nigerian government. Also the Cybercrime act may come to play. If he wants to avoid criminal penalties, he better develop the domain. Put sme sort of content there so that he isn't found guilty of cyber-squatting. 1 Like |

sparkle6: I'm not a lawyer. There's nothing like Jury in Nigeria There's nothing like 'making' domains. Domains are subject to intellectual property and copyright laws. Read more and spend less time on the Internet, it would help you. 2 Likes |

Re: Olumayowa Elegbede Buys Nigeria Air Domain Names, Selling At ₦24 Million Each by Hotfreeze: 7:06pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
vision202020: That domain is an NG domiciled domain and is under the control of NIRA. Even if he's in Saskatchewan, his domain would be regulated by Nigerian laws. However, if he's outside, the angle of fines and prosecution won't come into play, they'll just retrieve it. 2 Likes |
