Something wey e for give to legalee to collect on their name sign agreement to split.

Them no need id to buy lottery ticket, possession during verification is proof of ownership.

Get a lawyer to draw up an agreement between you and your proxy and how money will be split. Under a good arrangement he would have made off with nothing less than 300,000 Euros which is far better than getting nothing or the resident permit. He can even self deport at that point because the bag is secured.

Despite the fact that you can clearly see that going through the right process was more benefiting as he has gotten the full amount (before tax)

There has being an advancement in f00lishness amongst Nigerians and it is just sickening.
You obviously thought this your opinion was a piece of wisdom...

I advice my sons about people like you. By Exousiang01

I have been blocked by moderator bot for replying you as you deserve but i guess i just have to clarify this for the sake of your son's future.

First, you clearly don't read and not as wise as you think you are. No go dodoyo for that UK wey you dey, embrace knowledge.

The Nigerian lottery winner only got half of his post-tax winnings here not full as you claim because he did what i suggested but without a lawyer. He trusted a Nigerian friend who claimed the winnings in his name and remitted only 50% of the post tax winnings to him.

This is a scenario, where he would have retained an affordable lawyer with the promise of a portion of the winnings, yes it is a thing, the lawyer only gets paid if he accesses the money. Then they go into negotiation from a wider pool of people to get a proxy to claim the winnings for a stipulated fee and gift the rest to him (not a percentage of the payout but a one-time fee, this fee can be 10,000 or even 1 euros depending on person). In this negotiation he clearly has the upper hand, and is not limited to his Nigerian, desperate circle. He can go with with a homeless citizen or even the lawyer's colleague.

Collecting winnings by proxy is not illegal, it is a strategy for privacy, financial administration from onset and all the other benefits. People collect winnings through shell companies, trust funds or anonymously unless the lottery board restricts such usually for marketing reasons (so that the hopeful public doesn't believe that the lottery agency is giving money to fake people or insiders).

People that engage in continuous sleep do they live for ever?

No but they don't shorten their lifespan with the resultant illnesses that sleep deprivation caused

Many overlook this important health tip in pursuit of achieving daily targets.

One scientist summed it up that every hour you steal from the daily sleep requirement is borrowed from your lifespan.

So if you sleep 4 hrs a day, have it noted that you reduce your eventual lifespan by 2-4 hrs daily. Normally life na give and take, you can't eat your cake and have it

But the governor said they should kidnap every body that aso rock has no vacancy.

For the sake of the peace and stability of a non-Muslim community / country / city don’t permit the uncontrolled formation of a Muslim enclave in your community, let them live among everyone else as equals rather than congregating in one particular region/town/city talkless of your forests. Such density emboldens inert ideas, speculations and harboured desires that can be ominous. We have seen its effects in Kwara and other places, soon Edo North (Auchi & environs where this incident falls) may tell similar tales. I am watching the unfortunate developments happing in Nsukka, Enugu state and I begging the natives to control the situation before it balloons into a confusion.

In case you are not aware, Islam is not just a religious faith, it is a political system, a legal system, financial system and indeed a cultural system. You can’t call yourself a true Muslim if you chose to practice one of these components without the other. Muslims might live in and benefit from your country but hate the fact that they are ruled by non-muslims, transact with your "riba-charging" financial systems / currency, and are subject to a legal code other than the Sharia. For these dissents, they can become willing tools (saboteurs) for external agents to destabilize your communities.

Christianity is not similar. Jesus paid tax to heathen authorities. The bible teaches that authority comes from God alone (you have a bad leader because God let it happen). In Jeremiah, God instructed the captive Israelites to seek the peace and prosperity of Babylon which they were brought into. Some may see all these as docility but it offers more stability than a religion that seeks to depose unbelievers and then tax them financially or otherwise.

you sure say she bag am or they exchanged bags

Divine speed, he was playing in Nigeria last year and got his first international contract in Sweden last year (June 29, 2025). Less than a year later, he is in the EPL.

So many aren't that lucky, Gift Orban comes to mind, his current club don even chase am.

I knew that the US will take profiteering to greater heights.

World Cup wey every other country host make everybody jolli, Una wan milk every last cent possible, na over capitalism dey worry US.

Even unaffiliated bars in US are not allowed to use the World Cup logos in their establishment during the tournament. Imagine

They should pity this SW people

As people that don’t go back to their original communities, this insecurity will make all of them run to Lagos and become Lagosians overnight

The average Nigerian big man's happiness is that he has a lot of people to feel better than .

I expected to see gender specific admonitions that will do justice to the title.

Well, I will add one advice:

As a woman, there is no middle ground when it comes to character. You either be a good girl completely or a “bad” girl professionally.

I say this because being a very good girl pays, society loves to see and support self-sufficient , hardworking, smart women who are driven by goals. You are also very likely to attract responsible people who would also contribute to making your life comfortable success.

However, being a professional bad girl pays too, maybe even better if you know game and fortunate. I use the word professional because it takes a professional to build a very successful life from doing what society considers immoral. You have to be a master strategic salesman, a high risk taker, knowing when to hold & fold, keeping watch of your time and pocket, and doing all these having no emotions at all.

Then there is the middle ground lady, she loves to be considered a good person but also enjoys being naughty sometimes. As with anything she isn’t committed enough to either side to make the most of its benefits. She is the one that is exploited by many with only trauma / bastard children to show for it. Some people overlook her because they don’t know what she represents or where she belongs, others judge her because they know her misdeeds. She is the not someone to become.

helinues:
Express yourself without seeking my validation except if you are empty

Who is emptier than a Yoruba APC supporter these days.

You support a leader whose leadership failures has left you dumbfounded yet tribalism has also made it impossible to complain or oppose.

Please helinues what can be emptier than that ?

Mind you the ransom for 30 persons kidnapped in Ekiti has been paid but no victim has been released. Dem don open office for una head

ILoveNG:
You people are unbelievable

Evil can befall anyone irrespective of election, irrespective of who you are or what you do.

But to daft people like you, everything is election. Same election you lot claim was rigged.

Did the south west and people like you have this opinion during the Jonathan era when terrorism erupted out of the blues beyond his control ?

No, your pastors, celebrities and pastors went out to protest. The government you made way for ruled and left but failed to put an end to the problem and now awalokan is on seat and your mouth is beginning to produce strange tunes. Hypocritical country and people.

Helinues FSBoperator, i don't want to hear your silly takes on this issue of banditry in the SouthWest, whatever you accuse others of, you all did it to Jonathan and Karma always knows who deserves payback best.

Nicoddemus:
As long as he doesn't monopolize the oil sector. He should allow room for competition. He's an asset to the nation

Abeg, drop that narrative. Dangote will continue to dominate and monopolize industries in Nigeria as long as a large portion of the country’s wealthy class consists of people with deep pockets with lazy brains and little appetite for productive risk.

Where do wealthy Nigerians invest their money?

First, there are those who pour capital into quick-return schemes that add little long-term value to the economy. They fund luxury real estate projects in Abuja and Lagos, or buy up vast expanse of undeveloped land from local communities only to resell them at a markup downstream to other new money buyers who partake in the illusion of wealth creation that dominates Nigeria’s real estate culture buying largely unproductive land and expecting its value to double within a year simply because everyone wishes it will. Every body is selling land and properties these days, find one poor community, steal their land or pay the chief peanuts and tell investors it is the next banana island.

Then there are those who flock to already saturated “safe” industries after seeing others profit from them. Hospitality, auto dealerships, import businesses, trading, poultry ( haew ) and similar ventures are overcrowded with capital chasing familiar opportunities. The latest craze is China Importation. These businesses may generate profits for their owners, but they rarely create the kind of innovation, industrial capacity, or global competitiveness that attracts significant foreign direct investment and grows the economy or technological capacity of the labor force.

Countries that achieve sustained economic growth are often driven by wealthy individuals willing to back bold ideas, startups, research, advanced manufacturing, technology, and other frontier ventures. Their capital expands the productive capacity of the economy.

In the south-south that has the oil everyone is drilling and refining, those it mean that there are no big men there or even big government thieves that can at least pool money together to build something they can say is their own and by their own people. They are waiting for outsiders to come and invest so they can do pipeline security for peanuts. BUA is planning to build a refinery in Akwa-Ibom while Akpabio is plotting to sleep with other people’s wives and NDDC chairmen are servicing their girlfriends and foreign investments. Tomorrow someone will say na our oyel money, keep fooling yourself. Since the days of Adam, ownership of anything is determined by who takes it not you had it.

In Nigeria, too much capital follows trends instead of creating them. Too many investors copy one another rather than funding the next generation of industries. Until that changes, it is unrealistic to expect a handful of industrialists not to dominate sectors where few others are willing to take meaningful risks.

Small thing una Don call billionaire. Na so billion come cheap for naija?

Go and buy house in Guzape with your 700 million net worth then you qould understand that there are millionaires and billionaires

Gotocourt:
Manufacturing abi distribution

The Coscharis Group recently acquired a Japanese auto OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). OEM companies produce modular components or products that other manufacturers integrate into their finished goods. For example, Apple does not manufacture all the components used in its devices; it relies on OEM companies such as Samsung for OLED displays and Corning for Gorilla Glass.

It is encouraging to see Nigerian companies making significant investment strides across Africa and beyond. The Dangote Group’s ambitious expansion plans in countries like Ethiopia demonstrate that Africa has the capacity to drive its own industrial growth and economic development through intra-African investment and enterprise.

US don cast...canada here we come

Canada go do you like you take cana.

You go find job tire you no go see unlike UK especially if you are in a certified profession. Nurses/Doctors/Pharmacists/Engineers can transition into their careers easily in UK but for Canada you have 2 options Factory / Care Work or return to school. The PR pool/backlog don choke, LMIA ticket don cut, Asylum way dem don revise am.

Aside the current immigration pressure, no where beats US for the possibilities an immigrant can achieve, men don establish back home with just cash jobs alone oo because e too plenty.

You fit manoeuvre your way through legal technicalities for US unlike any place else, the Nigerian guy Guobadia was an illegal immigrant but he was a $ millionaire owning chemical plants in US before his ex snitched on him to ICE.

I know about a guy that went on work-study visa and overstayed, today he owns a McDonalds franchise in US, Trump didn’t catch him in 1st Term, during Biden Tenure he sharply married his oyibo pepper.

Sharp tactics, too many loopholes have just been blocked.

Bankowner:
I'm guessing borrow, borrow is one of those not so difficult ways of making a billion naira

Who borrows more than rich people in the entire world, Otedola that broke free from over $100m bad debt is still rich today, so what is your point.
Try to be valuable enough so that people can take huge chances on you.

What is the big fuss about billionaire or not ? Definitely, when a Nigerian say someone is a billionaire, they mean in Naira of course.

And how difficult is it to be a billionaire in Naira for god sake when the currency's value is at the weak end and a billion naira is less than $1million. In fact, if things retrogress further, being a naira billionaire will become as mundane as being a naira millionaire.

You see a man that moves in a convoy of at least 2 vehicles worth a combined purchase value of 120 million Naira (low end) and you think that half his net-worth is tied up in his cars ? No, for you to move around in vehicles worth above 100m Naira you definitely have a venture that produces that volume of money either in profit or revenue.

If 100m is your profit per year, then by conservative estimate of 5% ROI you are operating on a capital base of 2 billion Naira. As a sole entrepreneur, are you not a billionaire ? If 100m is your gross revenue, then your business can be fairly valued at a billion naira depending on the Industry you operate in.

This world is varied oh, don't use your small mind / network to shoot your self in the foot with poverty mentality. When you sit and realize that you can make a billion naira in revenue if just 2000 people in your state that has a population of over 1million people buy your bread that costs 1500 everyday of the year, you shake off that funny mentality and start thinking right. Everyday you walk past silent naira billionaires.

This set of politicians are emboldened by the docility pf the masses.
All of them are fixing their children into pre-mature positions.

Although it is not new, the modus operandi has taken a new dynamic, before politicians will get their children into civil service or public aide positions to "grow" small nowadays they transform them from university graduate to legislator overnight.

If Nigeria mumuness grows, a Governor's son will succeed him. In Wike's words "if I don't travel for official assignments with my son who then will i go with"

Aunty rest, no be you be the first small girl with a big god 😂😂

Small upgrade wey zaddy activate you don go hire PR firm at least wait small till the smoke rises far away from the fire before senior madam cut off the source

motymop:
What loans?

You mean student loans

But can a non resident or non citizen have access to loans in the US?

Some companies give Intl students non-collateralized loans, banking on their future salaries in the their country of study. You don't touch the money, the company disburses it directly to the school. If you fail to pay, it will affect your credit score, and damage your financial standing in the country so you just have to pay once you start working.

Mhenn this is where long term planning would have been helpful.

I know people who pre-empted all these early enough in Joe Biden’s tenure and got Canadian PR even though they didn't need it at that point.

Another lady (pharmaceuticals career) got in early, years ago and completed her bachelors. Trump's first term was during her 3 years STEM-OPT, H1B was unsuccessful in the first year, she didn't even bother to re-apply, she quickly redirected her efforts to Ireland through their critical skills list PR pathway and left US before her time was due.

Being abroad gives you some form of increased mobility, don't tie yourself to one country. The goal is to be in a better environment that can support your growth which is not one country in particular.
