It can only be those Northern bandit boys that can do this. They have no regard for life and kidnap and kill for fun. They neither value children, elderly nor women. All that matters is that money must come out of the victims and they might still kill them.
Untill our government chooses to exterminate them like cancer bad news like this will still keep going on. My condolences to your friend. I pray the children are set free.

Amen

Politics and religion

True

VeeVeeMyLuv:
What was the motive behind this dastardly act?

No one knows till now. Our fear is the kids. No one knows their fate. Whether they are alive or dead

Mirasteel:
Yet Wike said that Abuja is safe, all these politicians won't fear God with their lies.

Truly safe indeed

DanseMacabre:
As a Nigerian, one's daily prayer should be 'My Father, my Father, may Nigeria not happen to me today, O Lord.'

Amen ooo

LeopardX:
It happened in Abuja. It made front page. Bandits/terrorists operating from the border between Niger state and FCT carried out the attack. It's an evil that must be condemned and tackled, not politicized and sensationalized, because it will affect us all one way or another.

In kubwa precisely.

Tohsynetita1:
I think it’s in Abuja, that veterinarian that was killed

Yes oooo.

madridguy:
This is a sad news. Where this one happened? State, local government and town name?

In Kungabokun in kubwa, FCT

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. On the night of October 1st, around 11 p.m., a dear friend and colleague was kidnapped and brutally murdered in front of his own children.

He was shot and stabbed, and as if that horror wasn’t enough, his three innocent kids were taken away by the assailants. We still don’t know their whereabouts.

No matter the offence or misunderstanding anyone might have had with their father, children are innocent and should never be made victims of such wickedness. No child deserves to witness their father’s murder or to be dragged into a world of trauma and fear.

We are pleading with everyone — the Nigerian Police, security agencies, and concerned citizens — to please help us in the search for the missing children.
Please, if anyone has any useful information or sightings, report immediately to the nearest police station.

Let’s also remember the wife he left behind, currently nursing a baby, in our prayers. She needs strength and comfort beyond human understanding.

🕯️ May his soul rest in peace.
🙏 May his children be found and returned safely.
💔 And may justice not sleep on this case.

In today’s world, having a degree alone is no longer enough to guarantee career success. Employers and businesses now value skills that drive visibility, sales, and growth online.

One of the most in-demand skills right now is Digital Marketing – from social media management, SEO, content creation, affiliate marketing, to paid ads. Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or even running your own hustle, learning how to position yourself and your brand online can open massive opportunities.

✅ Companies are paying more for people who can help them get customers.
✅ Entrepreneurs are using digital marketing to scale small hustles into big brands.
✅ Even freelancers are cashing out globally with just their skills and a laptop.

The truth is: your career and income potential grow faster when you know how to market in the digital space.

So I’m curious 👇
Do you think digital marketing should be a compulsory skill for anyone trying to build a career in this economy? Or is it just for “tech bros & sis”?

👉 For those interested, I recently started sharing free tips and resources on how to build a career in digital marketing (including affiliate marketing opportunities that are beginner-friendly). If you’d like to learn more, just drop a comment or send me a DM.

Lovely Post. Health ìs wealth o. Me I don't chase after money. I make customers chase after me by giving every customer fantastic service and over value. I focus on the customer at hand and give him quality, that customer does word of mouth for me

You’re absolutely right 👍. Health really is wealth, and the truth is the same principle applies in business — when you give value and focus on quality, customers naturally become your marketers through word of mouth.

That’s also why affiliate marketing is booming today. It’s literally built on that same idea of adding value first and then letting satisfied people spread the word (and you earn in the process). At the end of the day, whether it’s health, business, or finance, consistency in delivering value always pays off.

A lot of people spend their younger years chasing money while ignoring their health — only to later spend all that money trying to recover their health. The truth is, good health is not just about avoiding sickness, it’s about building a lifestyle that supports your body, mind, and even your financial growth.

💊 Simple health tips to live by:

Stay hydrated (water clears toxins better than most expensive supplements).

Sleep well (your body repairs itself more during rest than any drug can do).

Eat balanced meals (your diet today is your medicine tomorrow).

Move your body daily (exercise isn’t just about muscles, it boosts immunity).

Manage stress (mental health = physical health).
Now here’s the connection a lot of people don’t realize:
👉 Just like your health requires consistency, your finances also require consistent smart decisions. One of the easiest and most flexible ways people are building an extra income stream today is through affiliate marketing — promoting valuable products (including health & wellness products) and earning commissions.

In fact, many health-conscious people today are not only improving their lifestyle but also earning by recommending tested wellness solutions online. Imagine getting rewarded just for sharing products that actually improve lives.

✅ So, take your health seriously.
✅ And while you’re at it, learn how to leverage affiliate marketing as a side hustle that complements your wellness journey.
Because at the end of the day,
health + wealth = true freedom.

Some years back, I was working non-stop. Hardly slept 5 hours daily, ate junk most of the time, and my “exercise” was only walking from bus stop to bus stop. I thought I was hustling, but truth be told, I was slowly killing myself.

One day I collapsed at work from stress. Doctor said, “If you don’t slow down, your money will soon start buying drugs instead of food.” That statement hit me hard.

I began to take health seriously:
✅ Drinking more water
✅ Eating better
✅ Sleeping properly
✅ Taking walks & light exercise
✅ Managing stress

Funny enough, this change also opened my eyes financially. Instead of chasing only the hard hustle, I started looking into smarter hustles. That’s how I came across affiliate marketing — where you earn by recommending helpful products (even health products) online.

Now, I balance things:

I keep my health in check.

I also earn extra from affiliate marketing without burning myself out.


Moral of the story?
👉 Your health is your first capital. Don’t trade it for quick money
👉 And when you’re ready to grow your income, learn a skill like affiliate marketing that allows you to work smart, not just hard.

At the end of the day, both health and wealth are needed for a happy life. 🌱💰

I Sabi them na make I dey beg like person wey no dey see front....no be today na

"I understand your concern, but affiliate marketing doesn’t require buying materials or stocking products. Unlike traditional business models, you only promote products or services through your unique link, and you earn a commission whenever someone makes a purchase. This way, you’re not tied down with inventory or losses, and you can focus purely on marketing and building income streams."

One nigga dey my email dey cry for one YouTube automation guru here on nairaLand.

I just dey laugh.

After the guyman collect money to teach the student become wahala.

The guy just dey post an shift goal post and last last na chatgbt lesson him dey teach.

I wan laugh die my guy dey para

If you're not making money from the thing you're teaching it means you're a fraudster.

I am contemplating teaching him how to get his money back since he paid through opay but make I just dey observe.

Whether the automation guru go change him ways.

Bros calm down 😅. Not everybody teaching online is a scammer — some actually dey run legit business and still share value. The fact say one “YouTube guru” dey misbehave no mean every other trainer na fraudster.

And about ChatGPT lesson, lol… if person no sabi even use AI in 2025, him already dey behind. The real difference no be whether na ChatGPT or not, na if the person show you how to turn am into money.

As for refund matter, if your guy get receipt, make he follow proper channel — no be vexing for Nairaland go return him money.

Reading your lines I can smell and imagine your frustration
Do it yourself and make money, if you’ve made money you won’t be disturbing us with 15k books, it’ll be genuinely free

After you have made money I’ll happily be your student for free

Lol… my brother, nothing in this life is “genuinely free.” Even YouTube you watch burns your data. The truth is, people value what they pay for — if it’s free, most won’t take it seriously.

If you’re waiting till everything becomes free before you learn how to make money, you’ll wait forever. The same ₦15k you’re shouting about is what others are using to learn skills that now make them 6 figures monthly.

Knowledge is an investment, not a handout. If you see it as disturbance, just waka pass — because those who are hungry for change don’t complain about the spoon, they focus on the food.

Like I said earlier, I was born and raised in Nigeria and I can tell you for free that we're one of the most selfish/wicked people on earth.

As a matter of fact I have traveled to 29states in Nigeria so I always speak from what I have seen/experienced.

Majority of Nigerians will NEVER tell you how to make money if they won't benefit more after revealing the secret.......The only people they'll give update are their family members.



Not only money sef, Nigerians hide knowledge. They'll rather die with it than pass it on to someone else. The few that would manage to teach you will waste your time purposely to punish you........What takes at most 2years to learn you'll spend five or more years learning it.

I have a friend years back that learnt welding for 8years......But that's a story for another day.

Not entirely true bro. I understand where you’re coming from because a lot of Nigerians have that “if I teach you, you’ll pass me” mentality. But let’s be real—things are changing. Knowledge is no longer locked up like before.

The internet, online trainings, YouTube, mentorship programs and even platforms like this same Nairaland have made it easy to learn almost anything if you’re serious.

Yes, some people hoard knowledge, but many others are openly sharing because they know collaboration pays more than selfishness. If your friend spent 8 years learning welding, it’s either his boss was wicked or he wasn’t intentional about finding better options. Today, nobody really has that excuse again.

At the end of the day, Nigerians are not naturally wicked—some people are just selfish, same way you’ll find selfish people in any country.

Meteng:
You’re very correct my brother

Like seriously.

A lot of people still think affiliate marketing is scam or dead. The truth is, affiliate marketing is simply helping businesses sell their products and earning a commission. Nothing more. Nothing less.

It’s not a Ponzi scheme. It’s not “get rich quick”. It’s the same business model that big companies like Amazon, Jumia, and Konga have been using for years. That’s why you see “refer & earn” or “share & earn” programs everywhere — it’s affiliate marketing in disguise.

Why do some people fail?
👉 They expect money without learning the skills.
👉 They give up too quickly.
👉 They don’t understand that it’s a real business.

Those who take time to learn and apply the right strategies are making steady income from it (in naira and even in dollars).

So, affiliate marketing is not the problem. The problem is when people come in with the wrong mindset.

What do you think guys?

Affiliate marketing is not just “side hustle”, it’s a real digital career.

👉 You don’t need capital, stock or office.
👉 You can earn in dollars promoting global products.
👉 You’ll learn hot skills like sales, copywriting & digital ads.
👉 Income potential is huge if you’re consistent.

In 2025, companies are paying affiliates more than traditional ads.
If you’re looking for a legit online career path, affiliate marketing is worth it.

Oga, I’ve noticed you always jump on threads to attack people’s hustle. That energy no dey shake me sha. My ebook is ₦ 15000 and the training is Free— straight to the point as you want it. At the end of the day, serious-minded people will check the value, not noise. Everybody knows talk is free, but value no dey hide.

PepeXKermit:
oga, that thing wey u think say you sabi, if person gats message you privately for you to provide info, then you get sinister motive. post your update here to help the forum.

Boss, the truth is not every useful update can be dropped openly on a public thread. Some opportunities need proper explanation, breakdown and even guidance for someone to really benefit. Sharing privately doesn’t mean the intention is sinister — it simply allows clarity and prevents half-baked information from flying around. At the end of the day, anyone who gets the info will be able to judge its value for themselves. My focus is on providing genuine value, not misleading anyone.

If you (or anyone else) genuinely want to understand better, just reach out — I’ll be glad to break it down clearly.

Easy at it seems
Go sleep
No be only marketing
Na banking.
Casted update.
AI has taken over

*"True, AI is changing a lot of industries — even banking, marketing, and almost every field you can think of. But that doesn’t mean affiliate marketing is dead. What has changed is how it’s done.
Before, people used to just copy-paste links and spam. Now, smart affiliates are using AI tools to create better content, run ads more effectively, and reach global audiences faster.

So instead of killing affiliate marketing, AI is actually making it easier for those who know how to use it. The truth is, online business models don’t really ‘die’ — they just evolve."*

Baba show me the way how can I start...please 🙏

"Affiliate marketing is still very much alive in 2025. The major difference now is that people who take time to actually learn the marketing side (not just rushing for quick money) are the ones getting results. Payments are still in dollars, and many platforms pay directly without stress. I’ll send you more info via inbox since I can’t drop too much detail here."

I keep seeing young Nigerians earning in dollars online without traveling abroad, and honestly, it surprised me at first. Some are doing it with just a smartphone and internet connection.

It’s not crypto, not betting, and not ponzi. It’s something way more sustainable that people worldwide are using to build income streams.

I’ve been digging deep into it and the results I’m seeing are interesting. If you’re curious, I can share more info privately.

What do you guys think — are Nigerians really ready to tap into opportunities like this, or we’ll keep waiting for government jobs?

Bahamas95:
A Nigerian will never, I repeat a Nigerian will NEVER give you update on how to make money. They won't even tell you code to get cheap data not to talk of earning in dollars.......Don't allow any fraudster deceive you.

😂 Bros calm down. It’s not everybody that’s bitter about life updates like you. Nigerians dey share legit ways to make money daily — na whether your eye dey open receive am be the issue.

Affiliate marketing no be yahoo, no be maga hunt. Na pure business model wey Amazon, Jumia and co dey use run their billions. If you think say everybody wey dey talk money online dey fraud, maybe na you never still understand say hustle pass “cheap data code.”

No vex, but ignorance no be pride. 🙏🏽

erad:
Lol... I thought this affiliate marketing thing had died a natural death. Obviously we still have people looking for sure magas to dupe.

All the best.

Lol, affiliate marketing didn’t die o, it only outgrew the people who were looking for “magas.” It’s still a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide — Amazon, Jumia, Booking.com all run it. If it was about duping, big companies wouldn’t be investing in it.

So maybe it’s not that affiliate marketing died… maybe it’s just that some people never really understood it in the first place. 😉

Many people still believe you need to travel abroad or “know someone at the top” before you can earn in foreign currency. Truth is, there are legit ways Nigerians are getting paid in dollars right from their phones and laptops.

One of the fastest-growing opportunities is called affiliate marketing.
👉🏽 It doesn’t require capital to start.
👉🏽 You don’t need to own a product.
👉🏽 You don’t need to stress about delivery or customer service.

All you do is connect people to products/services online and get a commission in return. It’s like being a middleman, but digitally.

The interesting part? Some are making more in a month than what regular 9–5 jobs pay in a year. The key is knowing the right platform, learning the strategies, and staying consistent.
I’ve seen people who started with just a smartphone and internet connection build steady streams of income this way. If you’ve been curious about online business models that actually work in Nigeria, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest places to begin.

What’s your take — do you think more Nigerians should be learning this in 2025? 🤔
