There are only four people on Earth that want you to be rich or wealthy.

1. Your parents (family — through not all of them)
2. A girlfriend who loves extorting you (or a wife to be)
3. Owners of airlines
4. People who sell or offer expensive services (luxuries)

Apart from these four people, the rest want you to be poor. Yes, they truly do. The government, bank, schools, social media, CBN, Nairaland, etc.

Even bus transportation companies want you poor. Why? If you become so rich, you'll either use your own convoy or use plane to travel.

Schools want you financially and intellectually poor. Why? If you become rich or smart, you won't even consider school, but focus on your talent/investment.

Schools hate people like Bill Gate, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. for being wise and for dropping out.

Oh, iLegend wants you to be rich too — so you can easily afford any of his books/products.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world want you poor to avoid oppression, losing power to you, and many other hidden agendas. This world is filled with hidden agendas.

So, be wise and work on your finances day and night until you succeed. No two ways about it.

Work your ass off at first — but be smart while doing it.

I worked my ass off 5 years ago (while ignoring the side talks) and this is why I sleep my ass off while snoring like a king who just escaped being oppressed by the government/opposition.

iLegendd:
The reason my last thread, where I revealed how to multiply your PayPal fund via Binance, was deleted is unknown to me. I revealed something worth 1 million.

After 4 years and some months on this forum, I have realized most of my meaningful threads, where I teach things that'll change lives, get deleted, but the ones I'm just catching cruise don't get deleted.

I can confidently say the following

1. The government doesn't want you to succeed.
2. The bank doesn't want you you to succeed.
3. CBN doesn't want you to succeed.
4. Nairaland, of all places, still doesn't want you to succeed.

Why doesn't the government want you to succeed?

If you make it financially, you'll be uncontrollable and above the law just like them.

When everyone in a country becomes above the law, the leaders feel threatened and powerless.

Money gives power, not just position. The government doesn't want you to have that power.

Why doesn't the CBN/bank want you to succeed?

It's because if you succeed, you'll become wiser and probably move most of your portfolio into digital currency like crypto.

They'll try to block all means to make sure you don't leave them to digital asset or become wiser with your money.

Why doesn't Nairaland like meaningful threads that'll change lives?

1. Meaningful threads don't get enough traffic.
2. Meaningful threads make you wiser and from there, you may start making money and if you start making money, you'll not have much time to be roaming around Nairaland fighting and abusing people.

Just imagine everyone on Nairaland is wise and is making money online. That means there will be no/less fight, abuses, and conflict. This will reduce the traffic and engagement on Nairaland.

So, what some of the mods do is to remove threads that will make you wiser than you currently are.

Truth be told, they are doing the right things because if you and everyone come get sense now come dey make money online, you go dey too occupied with money making and won't be bothered with all the fun and drama anymore and if this happens, Nairaland will lose traffic = less money.

Nairaland is a business and the owner doesn't want to lose money even though he acts as if he doesn't care about money.

In summary, the government, CBN, bank, Nairaland, etc. are all businesses and they are all after more money and dominance while keeping you poor and dependent on them.

They don't want your financial freedom. As I said earlier, they are doing the right things. It's left with you to also do the right things.

Everyone on Earth is doing the right thing — it all depends the angle you're viewing it from.

So, I'm not angry my meaningful thread yesterday was deleted, I'm only angry only 1,000 people viewed that thread before it was deleted. I won't repost, but be rest assured I turned 93k to 105k in less than 1 minute.

If I had used the 105k to buy a coin/crypto on Binance, the money will multiple to 200k in days or weeks — depending on the person's crypto trading ability.

So, no one gives a f*ck about you and people will do anything possible to hoard information from you. You may even be shocked another Nairalander reported that thread to be deleted because I revealed the exact information they are using to enrich themselves for free.

People are just wicked and I think it's not their fault — it's my fault.

Nigerians spend over $1 billion buying foreign citizenship, golden visas – report
By Agencies -December 13, 2020

Some Nigerians have spent over $1billion this year, 2020, buying themselves citizenship of other countries or golden visas as they plan ahead for safe haven should Nigeria collapse as a nation.

The $1billion is a conservative estimate, given the number of applications processed by the citizenship advisory firms.

According to a report published by Al Jazeera, more Nigerians paid for citizenship or golden visas in 2020 more than any other year.

At London-based Henley & Partners, one of the world’s largest citizenship advisory firms, applications by Nigerians increased by 185% during the eight months to September 2020; making them the second-largest nationality to apply for such schemes after Indians.

More than 1,000 Nigerians have enquired about the citizenship of another country through Henley & Partners this year alone, which Paddy Blewer, Head of Marketing, said “is unheard of.”

“We’ve never had this many people contacting us”, Blewer said.

Arton Capital, a citizenship advisory group, said “demand from Nigerian families for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship is up 15% in 2020 compared with the last.”

St Lucia has also seen a record number of Nigerians applying in 2020. “It’s more than it’s ever been over the past four years,” says Nestor Alfred, CEO of the St Lucia Citizenship-by-Investment Unit.

The rush to escape from Nigeria reached the apogee in July, with the coronavirus epidemic raging.

Another propelling factor has been the recent #EndSARS protest, according to the report.

A Nigerian interviewed in the report, cited the escalation of COVID-19 cases as a reason wealthy Nigerians started looking more seriously at citizenship abroad.

“Those with medical conditions that could not fly out – a lot of them are buying passports just because if there is any problem they can fly out,” said Olusegun Paul Andrew, 56, a Nigerian entrepreneur and investor who spends much of the year in the Netherlands.



“Flying out” of Nigeria is hard and not just because of the coronavirus pandemic. Just 26 countries allow Nigerian passport holders visa-free entry, many of them part of West Africa’s ECOWAS arrangement. Both the United Kingdom and Europe’s Schengen zone require Nigerians to obtain visas ahead of travelling.

For the wealthy, this is too much hassle. “They don’t want to be queueing for visas for any EU country or whatever”, says Andrew. Instead, why not purchase the citizenship of a country with visa-free access to Europe?

According to the report, the destinations of Nigerians seeking citizenship or golden visas are Malta and many Caribbean nations.

In Malta, all they need to do for citizenship is to have an investment of between $100,000 to $800,000 in the country.

In St Kitts and Nevis, a passport can cost as much as $400,000.

The passport opens doors to Europe and America, where they do not to get visas anymore.

Bimpe, a wealthy Nigerian who was interviewed for the report said she has three passports. One Nigerian, which she says she never uses, and two from Caribbean nations: St Kitts and Nevis; and Grenada.

The St. Kitts and Nevis passport, which cost her $400,000 via a real estate investment programme, was useful when she travelled between London and New York on business as it allows for visa-free travel to the UK and Europe.

But now that she has retired in Abuja, Bimpe, whose husband has passed away, wants her three adult sons to have the same opportunities to travel and live abroad.

“My kids were interested in visa-free travel. They are young graduates, wanting to explore the world. So that was the reason for my investment”, she explains.

Her investment to gain a Grenada passport for herself and her sons took the form of a $300,000 stake in the Six Senses La Sagesse hotel on the Caribbean island, which she bought in 2015.

Migronis:
I was born in communist Poland in the 80s of the last century, less than 200km from the infamous Berlin Wall, that for decades physically and ideologically divided Berlin and the rest of Europe. Going East from the wall you would find countries controlled by the falling, but still dangerous Soviet regime — dictatorial, communist, poor, stripping people of their personal freedom. On the other side of the wall — Western Europe, with thriving capitalism and consumerism, recovered from WWII thanks to hundreds of billions of dollars (in today’s value) which poured from the United States as part of the “Marshall Plan”.

I was extremely lucky to have a big family in the “rich Europe” part and I enjoyed regular post deliveries of sweets and clothes. At the same time, my family situation made me conscious of the enormous inequalities between the life of Polish and German kids. I would spend hours staring at old “Quelle catalogs” — sent by my German aunt, 1000 pages thick, mail-order magazines, that looked basically like someone turned Amazon into a printed book. Not only could my parents not afford all those fancy toys, clothes, or electronic gadgets, but we also wouldn’t be able to buy them even if they had money. You just couldn’t get anything in the country, shops were empty. You could get stuff like butter, milk or chocolate only in limited amounts fixed by the government. I had to deal with all that because I was born those damn 170km too far East of the Berlin wall. That was the first time I experienced geopolitical unfairness of the world.

In communist Poland, if you wanted to get a passport, you had to go through an extreme vetting process, done by the Polish version of KGB. You had to try numerous times until getting an approval, that usually depended on giving a bribe or information about your “neighbor’s suspicious anti-government activity”, and even if you got the passport, you could only physically have it with you for the time of the travel. You would have to give it back after you came back.

All that changed when Poland miraculously abolished communism and joined the European Union, but even then we were still “the poor brothers from the East”. In Western Europe airports I always had to go through additional questioning by immigration. Getting a U.S. visa was nearly impossible. While working on my startup in the early 2000s, I got into a Silicon Valley incubator, but I couldn’t go because I was refused the visa. That was the second time my Polish citizenship killed my dreams. Three times a charm is what they say. It took me one more experience, a much more powerful one to finally do something about it.

Fast forward to 2017. I had been living in Nigeria for a couple of years where I’d become a resident, opened a few companies and started paying taxes there. I co-founded Jumia Travel, that quickly became one of the biggest hotel booking sites in Africa and HotelOnline.co, a leading hospitality software company on the continent. I had my ups and downs, but I was confident of the bright future of Nigeria and the business opportunities it presented for entrepreneurs like myself. Great opportunities come with great risks though. In what later turned out to be a planned takeover of my company and blackmail, I had all my assets seized and my bank accounts were frozen. All of it was done by an order issued by Nigerian police officers, corrupted by my local business partners that decided to get rid of me. Like in a shitty Hollywood B movie, I was quickly given an offer. A shady individual told me that all my problems will go away, all I need to do is to send a symbolic sum of a couple of hundred thousand dollars to a specific bank account.

But just like in a Hollywood movie, the good guys don’t negotiate with the bad guys. I had nothing to lose, so I sued the Nigerian police. Yes, you read that right. What’s even more amazing, I won. That was one of the “faith in humanity restored” moments. I’m probably the only foreigner in the history of Nigeria to sue its police and win. And to be still alive. The court ruled illegality of all the actions by police and even set a symbolic sum of ten thousand dollars to cover my “moral damages”. The police haven’t paid yet and I’m still trying to figure out who I should call for help to get my “win money”.

The police haven’t paid yet and I’m still trying to figure out who I should call for help to get my “win money”.

I came out of my Nigerian blackmail adventure safe and sound, mostly because of tons of luck. It could have been much, much worse. The experience made me, however, reach my threshold. It showed me how fragile your position, and how illusory your sense of safety can sometimes be. Especially when you live and work in countries with a struggling democracy and economy. I’ve decided that I need to move my assets, tax residency, or even citizenship to a country, where abuses like that can’t happen, where the law is respected and corruption is marginal. I couldn’t count only on my homeland — Poland, that in the last couple of years has become dangerously authoritarian and one of the most expensive countries in Europe in terms of taxes. And call me paranoid, but with the global political dynamics, the growing tensions between the West, Russia, China, and Europe’s immigration challenges, the Old Continent’s future doesn’t look that bright. In the late 1930s, there were still people in Poland that would have called you crazy if you had said that Hitler could invade us.

I needed a safe harbor, a plan B. And on top of it, having 2 passports is kinda cool.

I had always thought that getting second citizenship by paying money can only be obtained in some shady ways and that it must be extremely expensive. And by extremely, I mean millions of dollars. What I found out was something totally different. A lot has changed in the last couple decades. Many governments started treating their citizenship as a commodity. The first country that offered its passport for sale was Saint Kitts and Nevis in 1984. Today already over a dozen nations offer citizenship — including five Caribbean island-states, Vanuatu, Jordan and, within the EU, Austria, Cyprus, and Malta. Even the Dalai Lama got himself a passport from Dominica. Programs have by far become more affordable. Citizenship of Vanuatu, a beautiful, peaceful republic on a South Pacific Island, starts from $ 70k and you can even pay in Bitcoin.

Let’s be honest, which country wouldn’t want to invite more lawyers, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs and other successful experts in their fields to their land, so they invest and pay their taxes there? There is however a vetting process that keeps the crooked types out, your finances need to be legit and you even have to go through a health check. No place for sick people in the paradise. There are many advisory companies licensed by those governments that manage the whole application and investment process. I went with the one that had the coolest looking website (obviously) and that seemed most professional out of the few I spoke to. They had also been on the market for more than 8 years already. In the startup world that’s almost like an eternity.

The hardest part of the whole process was choosing the country to get the passport of. You need to take into account their geography, as you will want to visit it from time to time and who knows, maybe make it your base. What’s crucial is their tax system, quality of education, if you’re planning kids in the near future, and the strength of the passport. My Polish one allows me to travel freely in Europe but I wouldn’t mind having to apply for fewer visas when traveling to Asia, Africa, the Latino countries, and the great “Merica”, of course. I chose one of the Caribbean countries. I fell in love with their zero income and inheritance tax. I was allowed to keep my Polish passport and have dual citizenship. The island itself is just a stone throw away from the Dominican Republic, where all of my girlfriend’s family lives. And most importantly, this country’s significant part of revenue comes from foreign investors, offshore banking and payment processing companies. The government has a great opinion among international entrepreneurs and the likelihood of becoming a victim of criminals, as it happened to me in Nigeria, was significantly lower. Instead of buying a property (minimum of $ 260k investment) I went for a cash donation to the government fund, which was less than half that price. It was much cheaper, but I will never see that money again. With the Real Estate option, I could sell it after 5 years and hope for a nice ROI.

After choosing the country, it was time for the paperwork. A visit to the doctor, the bank, the notary, the sworn translator, couple signatures on the application prepared by the advisory firm and I was good to go. The whole process was pretty straightforward and if you ever opened an offshore company then you know what I’m talking about. It took me 2 weeks to collect all the necessary documents and another 3 months to get a shiny new, blue passport that allows flying to more than 120 countries (including EU) without a visa.

I got myself a beautiful and peaceful place to pay taxes and move to if the need comes. A plan B for safety, peace of mind, and a cool thing to show off, of course.

Did it end there? Of course not. I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t start thinking how to build a business around, what seems to be a booming industry. The Citizenship by Investment (CIP) market is estimated at $ 20bln annually, which is twice as big as the global private yachts market. It’s growing by two digits in percentage every year and it’s just the beginning. But it’s an industry that hasn’t figured out yet how to leverage on the digital revolution and online marketing. The biggest players operate more like lawyers, less like growth-oriented, technology-driven companies. That was my aha moment. I decided to invest in the very company that helped me. Now I can help others and democratize the world. Because it’s not your fault where you were born.

In 2019, it’s no longer necessary to suffer from the limitations that come with one’s “weak” passport. Those ultra-rich Nigerian investors who are ready to become global citizens have the opportunity to, on terms most favourable to them, make a significant contribution to one of the world’s more developed (or developing) economies and obtain second passports for the entire family.

Nigeria is a booming market for the second citizenship business. According to Knight Frank’s Wealth Report, in 2017, the total wealth held by Africans with a net worth over 50 million USD was 245 billion USD. In Nigeria specifically, there were over 3,370 individuals with at least US$5m in assets - this number is expected to grow to 6,500 (a 74% growth) by 2022; 200 individuals with at least US$50m in assets - with an expected 70% growth up to 340 individuals by 2022; and 20 super-rich individuals with at least US$500m in assets - this number is expected to grow to 30 individuals (a 50% growth).

Kristina Ruzhilo, Managing Partner of Migronis Citizenship, talks the growing CBI market, global citizenship, and the latest changes in the most affordable and secure citizenship by investment programs that have proved to be healthy and sensible alternatives to their more demanding counterparts.

[b]Nigerian passport is having a really tough time
[/b]Various passport strength rankings keep track of how many other countries holders of this or that country’s passport can visit on a visa-free basis. Year to year, statistics keep showing that African travellers have it hard, and that African passports keep losing their prestige points in terms of freedom of movement.

Africa’s Giant, Nigeria is home to close to 200 million people and has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Naturally, the number of brilliantly educated, well-travelled, and wealthy individuals is also high.

Unfortunately, today, Nigerians can only travel to 23 countries https://www.passportindex.org/comparebyPassport.php?p1=za&fl=&s=yes without having to worry about visas. This, of course, severely restricts the access to main global economies - China, India, the US and the UK, and it’s only logical that forward-thinking high net worth Nigerians are looking for a decent Plan B, preferably without having to wait for visas at embassies or fulfill an impossible list of requirements and obligations to chase a business or education opportunity.

[b]The advent of global citizenship in Nigeria
[/b]Though the concept of acquiring a second citizenship or residency is not new to UHNWIs, many still erroneously believe that acquisition of second citizenship or residency is a long, tiresome and generally dreadful process. People drop any hopes of becoming global citizens at the stage of going through the harsh requirements listed by countries like the UK, the US, Australia, and Canada. The truth is, the reality is a lot different!

A CBI program (alternative names - second citizenship program, or economic citizenship program) means that a non-resident investor obtains another country’s passport in exchange for injecting a specified amount of funds into the host economy, which usually happens through acquisition of real estate or government bonds, business establishment, or donation to a government fund.

More and more countries are developing their own citizenship by investment programs on a government level. This is a strategy that boosts foreign investment and stimulates versatile growth. In their turn, financially independent persons and high net worth business persons are recognising the swift document processing and the many opportunities these programs open before them, such as business expansion, asset protection, tax optimisation, personal safety, better healthcare and education, and freedom of movement, as countries with CBI programs offer visa-free, or visa-on-arrival, access to the EU and the Schengen Area, Hong Kong, the UK and the US. It is also perfectly possible to gain worldwide mobility without having to relocate permanently to one’s “second passport” country.

Here is a survey on how many UHNWIs from different parts of the world are already holding a second passport and how many are considering to become global citizens:
[img]UHNWIs from different parts of the world_second passport_01.jpg[/img]

Expanding CBI industry = more attractive terms
A number of EU and Caribbean countries are offering their citizenship in exchange for foreign investment. Special government bodies are formed, summit meetings and contests are held to ensure that CBI programs offer terms convenient enough to attract the attention of UHNWIs. That is why those terms are changing often.

Cyprus https://migronis-citizenship.com/cyprus, for instance, is aiming to eliminate questionable practices and start doing the cash-for-passport deals “through the proper channels,” after a more thorough due diligence. To ensure this, in May 2018, the country announced a limit of 700 approved applications per year - when in 2017, there were over a 1000 approvals. No doubt that, with a cost of at least €2m (NGN838m), the Cyprus CBI program will become a symbolic gateway into the exclusive world of ultra-rich individuals.

Among all the programs available, the most affordable and quick way to one’s second passport is through the Caribbean Region, where a number of interesting options are offered by island nations that compete harshly in the CBI program sector to attract foreign investment.

Antigua and Barbuda is working to implement 3 major changes to its CBI program, cost-wise and applicant age-wise.

First of all, they are removing the due diligence fee for those renewing their passports after 5 years. Next, there's the Limited Time Offer that expires on October 31st, 2018 - two main applicants can make a joint investment in real estate in the amount of at least $200,000 (NGN71,717,800) each. Finally, the age of parental dependents was reduced from 65 to 58 years.
[img]Value of passport and minimum cost of key citizenship and residency by investment programs_01.jpg[/img]

As for St.Kitts and Nevis, home to the world's pioneer CBI program launched in 1984, its government has introduced two major changes of the program:
- Donation to the Sustainable Growth Fund: was designed to replace a temporary the Hurricane Relief Fund option; a contribution of US$150,000 (NGN53,788,350, due diligence & processing fees are not included) for a single applicant; a contribution of US$195,000 (NGN69,924,855) for a family up to four.
- Joint investment in real estate for two applicants, US$200,000 (NGN71,717,800) per applicant, plus government fees.

Note! Sixteen Nigerian high net worth individuals have already applied to obtain second citizenship of Antigua and Barbuda since the launch of the CBI program in 2013.

To create a more inclusive environment, the Grenadian government has recently announced female applicants to their CBI programs will be allowed to be photographed for their passports wearing a traditional hijab, with their ears and hairline covered.

Vanuatu https://migronis-citizenship.com/vanuatu, a Pacific island nation, has also recently announced the news about the cost reduction of its CBI program.

The government of Dominica also made some changes in its CBI program options. It finally approved a real estate object suitable for investment. Investing at least $220,000 (NGN 79,128,720) in a share of Cabrits Resort Kempinski, the only high-profile hotel in Dominica, will allow you to obtain Dominica passport and generate profit from 2% to 6% on different stages of construction.

It’s worth mentioning that the developer of Cabrits Resort Kempinski is also responsible for the construction of Park Hyatt St. Kitts that has only recently been commissioned. The hotel is considered to be one of the best resorts in the Caribbean. Its annual yield is 5-6%.

[img]Price comparison of the Caribbean passports for a main applicant & a family of 4_01.png[/img]

No matter which program you choose, you’ll have to undergo a strict due diligence check that ensures safety and exclusivity of the “platinum second passport club”. Principal applicants must be at least 18 years of age and have an impeccable personal and business reputation, as well as provide actual and truthful information about themselves and their entrepreneurial activities.

All the countries officially recognize dual citizenship. The entire second citizenship acquisition process is strictly confidential, and no information is disseminated to third parties or the authorities of one’s primary country of residence.

Also, it should be noted that some European countries offer residency by investment programs (sometimes called “Golden Visa” programs). They are more affordable - starting at €350,000 (NGN146,652,056), in the case of Portugal, for instance - and, though the range of rights a resident of a European country isn’t as wide and comprehensive as that of a citizen, residents, too, gain a plethora of additional opportunities. Here are most popular European residency-by-investment programs: Portugal’s Golden Visa, Greek Golden Visa, Cyprus permanent residence by investment.

Whatever your reasons are - politics, economy, or employment-related, a retirement plan, more travelling opportunities, tax optimisation, guaranteed safety, better education for your children, the course of action is clear as day: a second passport is a must for achieving advanced global mobility, as well as personal and business security.

It is really subtle, especially if a lady is a church person like me. I gave my husband green, blue, brown even white light before he could understand.

Attack him
Appreciate him
Laugh at his jokes that are not funny
For the spiritual ones. Tell him I'm praying for him
Find an opportunity to talk/greet to him
Second his comment in meetings etc

Varlfott:
Before you ladies respond to this, I'll like to say that most of you are simply cowards. Why waste time making subtle gestures towards a guy you like in hopes that he will read your gestures as greenlights when you can simply just walk up to him and tell him you like him? A lot of us would appreciate you more if you did this. Most guys can't even interpret your green lights and most of you in attempt to show these green lights end up giving mixed signals.

What's the point of giving green lights even? You fear rejection but yet you expect men to overcome their own fear of rejection and approach you?

Why would you have a crush on a guy but expect him to be the one to text or call you first? Why don't you be the first to text or call?

So in lieu or all this, please tell us guys how you indicate that you are attracted to is and explain how you expect us to proceed. How do you show your greenlights? What are those subtle behaviors we guys should look out for?

Please I want to ask a question.

What do Nigerians who left the country and travelled abroad do (what's their sources of income), because some left Nigeria with no hope of getting a job abroad.

And judging by the desperation of the youth about getting out of this country I think they have the believe that once they leave this country the odds are in their favour. I really want to know what they do

Let’s face it: sex is an integral part of every romantic relationship. It ignites the fire that keeps the relationship burning. If you can spice up your sex life, then you are in for a sweet and long-lasting relationship.

Whether you like it or not, if you cut off sex from a relationship, the passion that previously existed between both partners fade away.
The fact that many people tend to shy away from, is that commitment cannot be felt without the desired physical manifestation of attraction, which is SEX.

Don’t get me wrong, your Relationship sure needs other vital elements like understanding, good communication and trust to thrive. However, you need the driving force of sex to make the relationship grow stronger and last longer.
The reason is that sex is more than an act of fun; it is the aptitude for bond building between you and your partner. It gives that feeling of togetherness with strong comfort around your lover.

But here is the unfortunate thing: as the relationship grows older, the desire for sex with your partner begins to dwindle. One of you might even start experiencing low sexual libido.
This can lead to a loss of emotional connection in the relationship.

How can you spice up your sex life so you and your partner don’t get bored with each other sexually?
This article is going to give you seven ways through which you can spice up your sex life and make it ever hot and ever attractive to you both:

Have you tried sensual massage?

This is a full body-to-body type of massage. It entails that both the receiver and the giver (massager) are in their nude form (with no clothes on). The giver with the help of a lotion or gel gives the receiver the same routine full body massage until it gets too sensual to the point where you both start gliding your sensitive body parts (boobs and penis). The giver will stop when the receiver is satisfied and happy.
The sensual massage can help build up sexual ecstasy in the head of both you and your lover, thereby resulting to a mind-blowing sex. Spice up your sex life by trying this!

Plan a romantic dinner together

You can plan a dinner to a great place with an hour distance or more on foot from your present location. You both can decide to stroll there on foot.
The journey is far more important than the destination; it only entails starting the stroll early enough. With such, you can engage in wonderful conversations along the way, thereby creating a lasting memory that is unique and gossip worthy. This can be a wonderful experience and can spring crazy sexual desires up in your head.
You can equally take your lover out to a karaoke bar. It can be very interesting watching several bad singers bray out of tune; it can give you a good laugh. You can even join the list of bad singers by singing at the top of your voice without forgetting to carry your lover along while at it. You can have lots of drinks and dinner. Such experience will definitely leave you both with hilarious memories that will enhance bonding and spice up your sex life.

With no boundaries set, explore innovative sexual positions

Have you tried the tying up prank during lovemaking? If you haven’t, you seriously need to. You can choose to cover his/her view with piece of cloth and at same time, use the handcuffs, which can come in form of a leather material.
The motive behind this prank is for one of you to be fully in charge in bed while still having fun together.
The bondage style is another great way to explore your sexual boundaries. This is a very interesting experience if you really want to give it to him/her hot. You can try this, if you are the shy type that lacks the courage to be in control in the bedroom…I bet you will love it.

Do you massage his balls while he is on top?

A good balls massage during sex can really give him the fun he has been expecting.
While he is on top of you, reach down gently and massage his sack…he will so love it and crave for more. Although you don’t have to make this trick a physically aggressive one because that is a delicate part of his sexual organ which should be handled with care. A gentle rhythmic move will just be perfect for this trick.

You two can watch erotic movies together

This is another trick that works like magic. Both of you should watch erotic movies together to help arouse your urges before the act. This experience can be mind-blowing. It will not only make the sex experience hot, it will also help suggest many new sexual styles you both haven’t tried before, which means it has a higher tendency to spice up your sex life.

Try romantic getaway together void of distractions

You and your partner can try romantic vacation to somewhere far from your home. The getaway should try as much as it can to be void of work distractions and unnecessary calls. You both should just concentrate on each other until the end of your trip. Sometimes sex outside the home can just be electrifying. You can try this too…it will help spice up your sex life.

Have you both tried using the couple’s intimacy gadgets?

They are many available intimacy gadgets that can actually stimulate the urge you both crave for. I know of a couple that constantly use intimacy gadgets before going into the actual sex together. According their testimony, it helps their lasting ability and at same time increases their sexual libido. It is not a bad idea if you try this out and equally register your testimonial too.

If you are interested in spicing up your sexual life and giving it to him/her hot in bed, then you need to follow the above-mentioned tips carefully and see your sexual life change in a twinkling of an eye.

This does not work

This only notifies the bank that the transaction may be suscpicious, the bank cannot freeze the scammers account or plac his account on hold. It would only compell it to investigate which may take weeks or months or even years.

The correct thing to do when you have been scammed is the following:
1. Screenshot all the evidence as the OP told you
2.Go to your local Magistrate Court and High court and swear an affidavit as to what happened
3.Apply to a magistrate for an order for the account to be placed on hold
Only a Court of competent jusridction can freeze bank accounts in Nigeria ( Your bank cannot freeze an account unless there is a court order to freeze it )
4.If you are successful with the court order, take it to the bank where the bank would place the scammers account on hold until he comes up with an explanation as to how he got the funds
5. If the SCAMMER has a very sound background, he would go to his local magistrate for the Order to be vacated

AND

1. So in order not to give the Scammer a chance especially if its a lot of money and it is paining you too much
2. Print out in colour copies of the chats, transactions etc the OP sent to you and send write a PETITION TO either ICPC or EFCC
3. Send the evidence and the petition to this email info@efccnigeria.org
4. Try to let you petition include whats called a written submission or a bundle of evidence, perhaps get a lawyer to write it for you.
5. This way it doesnt give who is going to read it headache
6. To help try to include the offences the scammer has commited such as ADVANCED FEE FRAUD, etc
7. Effc have a duty to investigate and they will promptly get back to you
8. Even cases of 100,000 naira and below the EFCC have invesitigated and prosecuted the culprit so dont be discouraged by the amount

If you use this double combo to fight the scammer

Trust me you will get a result or the right punishment for the scammer whether or not he has spent your money
Please contact me should you need any further information

Girls are like water they take the shape of the vibe of their environment and the individual they are attracted to or want to be involved with.
That means girls are different people at different places and can have different personalities to different men(people)...because women are conformist by nature.

Women ask how you got their numbers so they won't break character....what if you got their number from someone she respects at her church and she is a runs girl....she has to know so she would not think you are a client and then her reputation at church is at stake.

What are your thoughts?

Well, it is possible.
I and my friend got duped recently and we quickly reported the case, the bank( First bank) placed a restriction on the account immediately. The scammer couldn't withdraw the money.
But, we didn't get the money in one month, the procedure was as long as pipe.
From police report, court report, bank investigation. I tire

Well done CBN.

sweetilicious:
Not true.My brother's money was taken last year june.I personally took him to CBN Awka and lodged a complaint.This was after we waited for response from Zenith bank after we first reported immediately of the unauthorized withdrawal from scammers.Two weeks later,we headed to CBN.In 2months time,money was paid back.

EmmBim:
you are the mumu here,my niece was scammed last month,she just received back her money,thanks to access bank

ShegzyB:
I read lots of ignorant comments. The kind that keeps drawing us back as a nation. This is the kind of thing we should welcome but a lot are too sceptic.
For your info, all funds with all/any Nigerian bank is insured by the NDIC... the equivalent of the FDIC in the US. Their duty is to protect you, the depositor, from fraud.
If money is stolen from you by scammers online (and the money has been withdrawn, yes), once you lodge the complain and it is found true, you get your money back, then the bank goes after the scammers to recover their money.

If no know, ask. Stop sounding stupid with dumb statements.

aujile:
.
This is so useless and this man just reduced himself to nothing if he is really a financial analyst.
Banks don't come in for such transactions if not ordered by court, they can only seek the consent of the owner of the account before such money can be pulled out from such account. If not, they will be destroying businesses as Mr A can do business with Mr B and then inform the bank that it was fraudulent.
Before you start ranting about banks investigating the whole thing, please be reminded that the banks are financial institutions and not the law enforcement agencies.

chinambusay:
A Nigerian financial analyst, took to Twitter to reveal how you can retrieve your money after being duped by online fraudsters. According to @Monye_Morris, the Central Bank of Nigeria has mandated all banks to open a fraud desk to handle cases, and it is expected that they will investigate, prosecute and reverse such dubious transactions even if the scammer has withdrawn the money.

Revealing how one can retrieve money back after being duped by online fraudsters, he tweeted;
