Are these places heaven? Tomorrow, "it will be how to breathe when applying for a visa".
See Nigerians digging themselves into a hole to meet stringent conditions, its a shame.
Have some dignity and stay in your fvvcking country! Don't come with the stale "the politicians have destroyed the country" excuse. , Stay and face them:, do protest, revolution, activism, whatever it will take to make your country liveable.
Others made those sacrifices to make their countries conducive, do same to make yours.
Its disgusting, everyone thinking they are smart with this stupid japa rubbish.

My guy stop deceiving yourself. If you have the chance to travel out of Naija do so while you still have strength.
All these motivational talks are not in your interest. If not for you, do it for your kids.
Owo ti mo ni ni mo yà ọ.

Naija won't be better soon.
Politicians are recycling themselves. Same old thieves. Same old rouges.

What is the outcome of End SARS?
Is Naija better upon the loss of lives.

You will learn in a very hard way.
You are not more patriotic than me.

I just remembered what a younger colleague of mine in the US told me.
When he was traveling to the US years back, he was delayed at the airport by US immigration.
They were interrogating him and some others.
For more than one hour he was delayed. The person waiting to pick him up was worried too as she waited.

He said, one of the interrogating officers asked for his phone and he instantly gave it to him.
He said the first place the guy went to was his browsing history.

"Why did you have to Google AK/47?" The guy asked.

He said when he heard the question he smiled and the guy was surprised.

"Can you answer the question please?" The guy said.

"Can I have my phone back so I can show you why sir?" My guy replied.

The officer handed the phone back to him and my guy went into his picture folder and showed him some photos of himself at work.
He is an artist and shortly before the time of traveling, he was handling a sculpture project of a Soldier. So, he needed the picture references of AK/47 to get a perfect job.

The officer looked at him and got convinced.

He said, some of the other guys were taken to the room for deportation. Some of them were Nigerians and they were already crying.
My guy was freed and he has since been living there.

Be careful of browsing history when traveling.
The devil can use anything to kill someone's joy.

wipe your phone when you are travelling, and carry a feature [torchlight] phone. when you have reached your destination you can easily redownload everything.

Is there anyway I can back my notes writing app on Google drive or anywhere online?

This is a highly educational thread which should make us vigilant and careful on what we do on the Net in our phones.
Don't be surprised that most Nigerian guys traveling overseas would have a very long search history of Pornographic websites on their browsing history.

Watching porn is not a problem but if there's child porn in their browser history, that's a big problem.

Not just browsing history,
They go through your WhatsApp chats also,
Telegram and other social media.
Once they see indications you are bidding farewell forever to family members,you risk been deported.

Damn!

I don't understand the question

However

There are multiple note apps which are backed up to the cloud

Evernote
Microsoft one note,
Google keep to name a few

However the problem most Nigerians have is that for reasons best known to them, they fail to stick to a single email.

If you cannot keep to an email/online account but continue switching you will not be able to save your online info

What you don't know is that the foreign countries also have people on nairaland to monitor conversations. Comments like yours reassure them of your desperation and make them strip you further of your dignity. Continue

You are right. They have spies all over. But where in my post have I violated any law. I have only told people what happens at the port of entry. Only if I lied or taught guys crime could I be punished.

I'm sure you are boasting for nothing. When you are traveling check yourself very well especially when traveling with Naija passport.
Many were turned back at the port of entry without knowing the exact reason they were returned.
lolz, you think everyone is like you that reside in that part of the World. Many of you just lack exposure and forget that people that are well travelled are on this platform

Guy, forget that right BS at the port of entry. A valid visa does not guarantee you entery. An immigration officer at his discretion can cancel your visa at the port if entery for any reason. And yes they can check your phone and strip u to make sure u are not carrying anything illegal. Try to watch border security or airport security on Nat Geo. I am sure they have episodes on you tube too.
It's called "point of entry" . I m sure you ve not experience one before
Re: Beware Of Phone Browsing History When Traveling by Freemasonry: 7:52pm On Dec 28, 2023
It's also important to lose your foreign-used gadgets before you board your flight.

You never can tell if it was stolen.

There's even a joke about okrika clothes.

So, let's be guided.

Baba take am easy. That guy might have traveled wide and far. If you have experienced one before it might be once yourself.

Many travelled for the first time by flight in their lives to the US and since they got stuck inside the US because of lack of papers they'll be forming "informed" during travel arguments.
You may likely be one of Dem.
