Before I quit this thread (after reading some of your funny comments), I'll just clarify a few things:

- I'm a reader of the Nairaland Travel Section - it's the only section I read or contribute to on Nairaland. Many people had been talking about wanting to read a destination post and I decided to share one of my trips so as not to be too passive here. Obviously a big mistake, lol
- I travel on a Nigerian passport - as a matter of fact, it is the only passport I have
- I take 99% of my pictures with my Samsung Phone and edit them with Lightroom.
- My blog gets enough traffic as it is. I tried to make my post here original for Nairaland. Even if it doesn't, I write for myself. So whether or not you visit, makes no difference to me.

I saw someone post a google photo of my exact photo. If you cared to look carefully, you would have seen that it came from my blog.

Anyway, back to becoming a passive Nairaland Travel Section reader. I think that's the best way to 'enjoy' this platform.

dont let what people say get to u. U are doing well.

Are you traveling on Nigeria passport? I am quite curious because you said getting a South Korean visa was easy, without a notarized invitation from Korean company?

And again crossing incheon immigration at Seoul easy? Boy…. Either you are on European or North American passport or you are selling your blog.

Hustlers…. Don’t try South Korean entry without a guarantor. When you present Nigeria passport as a first time traveler to Seoul, you will be taking into a room for questioning. They will check your funds, ask you questions about purpose, corroborate your answers with your guarantor’s. Finally if they think you merit an entry, your guarantor will sign a surety. If you fail entry checks… deportation straight!

E no easy o!
Good morning bro,
Is it quite easy to secure a visa with a company invitation?

For anything that takes me to South Korea, visiting Jeju Island is a must oo thanks to Extraordinary Attorney Woo, I have made research on the place.
Visiting Jeju requires having enough cash oo

I think this OP did not visit South Korea. He or she is just making this up for traffic.

Korea has very strict visa and entry requirements for Nigerian passport

Seems so! You lived in Korea before, fam?
Re: Reviving The Travel Section With A Destination Story - My Visit To South Korea! by logik29(m): 10:12am On Jan 27, 2023
My next stop was Namwon, a small town located a few hours away from Seoul. I found a nice, modern and affordable hanok (traditional house) hotel and decided to spend a night there. The hotel also had a beautiful garden with a nice pavilion right behind it. If you watch Kdramas, there have been quite a few dramas shot in this place. The meal in the first picture was from this town.
These place looks like songrim in the movie, Alchemy of souls

Hangumal aro? Bro, I criss-crossed Kimpo before they built incheon. Lived in harbangchon before they built noksanpyeong.

The above tells you a whole lot.

South Korean visa and entry is not easy.

My question again… did you use a Nigerian passport or just blogging for traffic?

OG! I knew when Noksanpyeong was commissioned. I lived Itaewon Gu, just off Noksanpyeong station and up hill. Beautiful place.

I've always dreamt of traveling to south-korea.
I believe they have the hottest set of chicks in Asia according to my taste.
Tall, Slim, Sexy, Portable-Ass, Moderately sized boobs, with a cute doll-like face.
Those south-korean chicks really freak me.
South Korea is the plastic surgery capital of the world.
Like Japan, suicide capital.
India, rape capital and Nigeria, poverty capital.

Your darling OP created a thread full of downloaded pictures displaying crude dishonesty. Should you not reprimand her for that rather castigating innocent Nairalanders? Was she compelled to create a thread with pictures that don't belong to her?

You have limited idea on the subject matter and should do a research before defaming someone.

That you ran a Google lens search and Google's algorithm listed the images from this thread on the search results does not mean that she stole the pictures somewhere.

The OP runs a travel blog and had posted those pictures on her blog since last year. It's enough time for Google to display the images after a search. If I post my pictures here and you run a Google lens search, you'll find them littered all over the internet with links to my LinkedIn profile, newspapers and other platforms that I have featured. Some blogs republish someone's images online without written consent and credit.

The only way you can confirm that she stole the pictures is that you find a link to the same pictures which predates those in her blog. I doubt you did that.

For more than half a decade the OP has visited fine destinations across continents and has shared those moments with her thousands of followers.

OP, South Korea is a very beautiful country. I was there in 2019 for a lawyer's conference. Spent all my time in Seoul. Those guys are very advanced and organized. CCTV cameras at every train station and bus stop. I recommend that you visit the De-militerized zone (DMZ). It's one of the biggest tourist attractions in South Korea. Also, gangnam (the song) is named after the central business district. Nigeria is 30 years behind that country. It's not even funny.
I decided to travel to South Korea last year after developing a huge wanderlust to visit the country. I visited Seoul, Jeonju, Boseong, Namwon and Busan.

I found it to be a very beautiful country. Some of my favourite things include the food, ease of transportation around the country and Korean architecture. I will start off this thread with how I got my visa and how to travel from Nigeria to South Korea.

Feel free to ask me any questions about visiting South Korea. Please note that I do not know much about moving there. I will only be able to respond to questions about visiting as a tourist.

I hope you enjoy the stories. I will post as fast as I can but might be slow too... smiley

Nigeria is at least a hundred years behind East Asians. Na South East Asians fit get that description. East Asians should be compared to Western Europeans and North Americans.

I’ve been to South Korea. Spent two weeks there. I love the country, beautiful scenery and landscape. I lodged at a hotel in Iteawon because I wanted to be close to my Ibo brothers. I visited Busa, Samsung yard in Geoje, All the markets in Seoul, Changdeokgung Palace, Seoul Tower, Bukchon Hanoi Village, Lotte World, Seoul National Museum, trick eye museums, etc. I ran out of cash, I would have visited Jeju Island, heard it’s an interesting place too.
Thanks, I'm encouraged

If true, my bad. However, the onus is on her to defend herself in the light of "defamation". Keeping silent makes unsuspecting viewers/readers believe the images are not hers. She has a brand to protect, presumably.

I was even generous lol. Nigeria is actually 100 years behind East Asian countries. We don't even understand how behind we are compared to those countries. The most shameful part of it is that majority of these countries don't have any resources Nothing. Just their population. Their passports are now the strongest in the world. Countries that were dirt poor just under 100 years ago. I just weep for Africa.
