MrPADDY:
Starting a sentence with a verb passes the message across as a command. The verb at the beginning of a sentence is referred to as imperative, or 'urgent and bossy verb'. Let's be guided.

that means you're saying there's no difference between what I said and simply saying "share the link"...

people sometimes get banned for sharing links so instead of saying "share the link".. so I said screenshot it and share it here.

it may seem like a command to you but it is not a command to me this is where difference in culture is important..

we are of different cultures and have different opinions and perspectives..

I'm sure if we check we would find out that you, iykepromotions and therealmccain have the same ethnicity which is different from mine..

iykepromotions:
is this a challenge or what? Well let me reply you because seems you're still a newbie and learning. But apply humility next time. That said, as a newbie, focus on EMD and Geos for now, till you start making sales, don't jump to trends so that you don't end up saying domaining is a scam. Trends can go either ways unexpectedly. Here's a screenshot you requested for.

I am into brandable names and a name that is available now may not be available in the next 5 to 30 minutes especially when you search to know if its available on registrars..

Once you search a good name on some registrars and its available when you searched and you come back in 1 hour and check it but its no longer available..


A trend or popular keyword has to be backed with screenshots..

most of the s:ora + strong 2nd keywords have already been registered and I needed to ensure the I registered the remaining strong keywords..

therealMcCain:
Your response shows, you missed his point including that of iykepromotions

He talked about entitlement, Iyke asked you to apply humility. what does that tell you?

You would have stated, Please cite examples of names that have sold or Please could you share some screenshot

You may or may not give background info as to how your search yielded nothing, hence the request

Your post was entitled, commanding and disrespectful

my post was not entitled, commanding and disrespectful...

when there is a trend, names get registered quickly...

I wanted to reg a name I consider to be a strong name because the "meta" version sold for over $30k so there was no time to waste..

Jinvest:
That's entitlement, you should be grateful that boss Iyke share that important info.
Asking for screenshots is asking to be fed after being offered free food.

iykepromotions already created this thread and shared enough information which brought others to share information which I am grateful...

I am grateful for this thread and the other one created by mccainreal..

before I made that comment I went to twitter and searched for it and some twitter users were saying that the sales shared is photoshopped and that it is a trademarked word and people should not bother buying up all the available names.

so I searched the trending keyword with another word and it was available so I came back to NL and told him to share sales but I assumed he was online and would respond within 2 hours so I registered the name I searched for..

iykepromotions:
Open ai recently announced the launching of Sora, a text to video model. Several domains in that trend have been taken since that announcement. Not sure if it can boom like meta or GPT so invest wisely if you follow trends. Seen some sales already on Twitter.

Screenshot the sales and paste here..

I'm about to waste $10 on this..

PureFace1:
You are really delusional lol

Commerce no data to back that up all noise and empty talk

Indigenous industries anywhere in the East is not even close to Indigenous industries in Oyo, Ogun not to even talk about Lagos state. It is just propaganda without any verifiable data you guys conjure when you see you can't match south west in industrialization.

Igbo transportation companies that transport mostly Igbo that can't stay in their region doesn't mean you dominate transportation in Nigeria, Yoruba transportation is mostly individual run and Yoruba control all transport across south west in fact you will even see Yoruba drivers in other regions even NURTW the national body for transport workers in Nigeria Yoruba have more influence, you think MC Oluomo would have so much influence in Lagos if the transport sector is dominated by Igbo ?. So how do you dominate? just pure fantasy in your head? is like you don't even know what domination mean, most of those Igbo transportation companies that operate in the East wouldn't even survive in south west.


As for Airline how many Igbo own Airlines in Nigeria apart from Allen Onyema? there are also Hausa, Yoruba Airlines in the sector just because Airpeace make the most noise doesn't mean you dominate. Now if most airlines in Nigeria are own by Igbo you can say you dominate.

You are very delusional if you really want to claim domination in ICT lol what do you even want to back it with ? Yoruba have been dominating ICT in Nigeria for several years even the recent most Influential women in ICT in Nigeria list is dominated by Yoruba women not to even talk of major Nigerian Fintech and Start ups own by Yoruba.

Two University from South west made it to the rank of 1000 best universities in Africa and the world recently and institutions in South west have been consistently making it for years none from your region that claim dominion in education make the list, is that not even clowning ? mind you there are a lot of universities in the north, south south and south east both public and private but only the ones from the south west made the list but you want to claim domination in education through what lol? In fact if you check NUC or what's their abbreviation website, Yoruba have more professors than any region in Nigeria.

If you want to talk about Health sector, is it more doctors and nurses you would say you have more than Yoruba that make you make such stupid claim?

Which Health center, Hospitals or Institutions in the East can match those in Lagos, Oyo or even Ogun.

try to understand statistics..

in statistics, the region with a smaller population will do better than a region with higher population
e.g. if i:gbos own 15 out of 20 industries in the South East according to statistics that is 75% of industries
while if Y:orubas own 60 out of 100 industries in the SW according to statistics that is 60% of industries.

now in statistics, if you compare 75% and 60% then statistics will say 75% is greater than 60% so the answer will the i:gbos has more indigenous owned industries than Yorubas 60%.

but if break it down to common sense, the i:gbo 75% is 15 industries while the Yoruba 60% is 60 industries and in common sense 60 is more than 15..

so don't let anyone use statistics to deceive you...

and you need to stop arguing because both the i:gbos and Yorubas have a region that qualifies as countries and if they were independent countries they will have their own indigenous industries in all sectors in their countries just as they both have now...

there will always be i:gbo owned banks, universities, hotels, hospitals e.t.c same way there will always be Yoruba owned banks, universities, hotels, hospitals e.t.c

chicfarmer:
Yep.

Thank you.

Does grey work on Saturday or weekend

TheTravelingOne:
From the comments, there’s lots of very broke people in this Nairaland

VULCAN:
Too many poverty minded people on Nairaland.

How much is $50k that people keep shouting why should someone keep it at home?

Money that can't buy a Prado Jeep.

okunwaye:
Nairaland is dominated by hungry wretch individuals

PepeXKermit:
You can deduce when people are poor and have lack of opportunities in their life because of the way they think and voice certain opinions. So you do not see anything wrong with what the hpusehelp did, you believe that two wrongs should be right. Men, you guys are furckn sick.

You guys are just noticing that majority of NL users are broke and hateful..

7lives:
I'm in shock reading some comments here.
This is a crime in saner climes.
These are the dollar racketeers we are talking about.

It is not a crime in "saner climes".

Floyd Mayweather keeps huge amount at home.

inoki247:
You people come online to talk anyhow in US if that type of money is stolen in your house you can be in Alot of trouble...

In the same U:S Floyd Mayweather keeps huge amount with him at home...

Chachamiliano:
From the typing I can deduce a little. Now let me make my point clearer. First, I am not a Yoruba man, I did not marry a Yoruba lady, so do not go the tribal route. This is simple economics.
1. What is the man's source of income? Do you even go the route of a business man. And even if he is one, What kind of business is he into?
2. Why do you think in advance countries and currently even in some African countries you cannot stack huge cash at home? Why
3. Why do you think money is called currency? and not any other name?
4. Who keeps money in the bank, when there are lost of investments he can embark on such as mutual funds, treasury bills, foreign share purchase etc. The funny thing is that he can even withdraw his money at anytime.

Do you think if he was in an advance country or even in some countries here in Africa, he will stack such cash at home?

Your last statement made me laugh. The scenario is like saying a convoy of government parastatals evaded traffic by taking one way and call them the problem. But at a traffic light junction, You saw RED light and decided to beat traffic because their is no official to impound your vehicle. Till Nigeria become disciple and start asking fundamental questions both from government and individuals the country will never change.

If you want to know little about this, read up about:
1. Elite theory & Masses theory
2. Iron law of Oligarchy by Abraham Maslow
3. Animal farm by George Orwell

When someone is stating facts commend them..

PepeXKermit is right..

Floyd Mayweather has stacks of dollars in his house so that means in advanced countries anyone can have huge amount of cash with them...

Keeping cash at home means the money is easily accessible and you don't have to fill forms to withdraw your own money and you don't want to hear story when you want to withdraw your money.

Last year when they introduced new naira notes and didn't print enough for circulation the banks stopped people from withdrawing their own naira and put a limit of 10,000 naira withdrawal per day. Imagine you need to pay someone cash of 70k naira but you can only withdraw 10k..

If the guy puts $51k in the bank he would only be allowed to withdraw $10k per day and that's if the bank has up to $10k because the bank can tell him there's no dollars meanwhile he deposited $51k the previous day.

mrwilliams9:
Iwobi is not a holding MF oooo. That was the fault of the coach playing him in that role.

A 3-5-2 where Iwobi plays in front of a midfield pairing of Ndidi/Onyeka or Onyeka/Yusuf would be fine.

It’s like putting Osimhen at RB and expecting him to perform like Ola Aina.

Different profile of player than what is needed in the role

So it's the fault of the coach that iwobi cannot press, close down and tackle opposition players

What is the job of a footballer

Even in Super Falcons the striker Onumonu, Ajibade presses, tackles and closes down players..

It's now iwobi that's a man who is not intentionally closing down and tackling players that you are defending..

PDPdestroyer:
Lol. He's Yoruba bro, you seem not to get the point he's trying to make, which is, if a wall has no crack, it's difficult for a lizard to enter the wall

He is not Yoruba...

Yorubas are smarter than that...

The "wall" does not have to be cracked when it can be broken down or scaled through.

casualobserver:
If it pleases you to believe I am not Yoruba fine, is my message any false if I am not Yoruba?

Your message is very foolish and very false..

To do that I:gbos will have to

stop Yorubas from having children..
they will also have to stop other Yorubas from other SW states from migrating to Lagos.
Stop Yorubas from outside Nigeria from migrating to Lagos.

casualobserver:
Oga you see this our so called education, rationality,” does it make sense” mentality and too much logic is why the Yoruba nation is under siege. In 30 years maximum the ibos will determine who becomes governor in Lagos. We never learn. Telling a thief that you have no right to burgle your house does not mean you don’t have a duty to secure your house.


Our problem is too much sense, too much logic, too much liberalism, did you see the votes they gave Obi in the SE….the same people who were insulting him when he was governor? Stay there and be asking if it makes sense. A thief will do what a thief does, it’s your duty to makes sure he can’t steal from you at at least to make it difficult.. I heard a story that I wish I could share publicly. It tells you we yorubas are our own problem sometimes.

No Yoruba person says we Yorubas..

You are not Yoruba.. so stop saying rubbish..

casualobserver:
It gave the excuse. When someone wants to burn you, you don’t provide the match and the petrol. Hence lessons to be learnt.

If you're quarreling in your fenced house does that mean it is right for your neighbor that has been jealous of you should invade your house and kill you and your entire family and take over your house and when police comes to arrest the neighbor he claims you deserve to be killed because you were quarreling.

Does that make sense to you

I can see you have mental problem...

casualobserver:
Every region played its part which is why it is a Nigerian thing. The yorubas played their part in the conflicts of ego, cult of personality inability to agree to disagree and respect differences that gave an excuse for a coup which almost repeated itself with Osinabajo/Tinubu. The ibos played their part as you said and the north who held on to resources of others are the ones now championing restructuring because all it has done is impoverish them. So it’s a Nigerian problem. We are all reminiscing with nostalgia to a period when things worked but failed because we are Nigerians. The problem wasn’t the system then, nor is it the system now, the problem is our insincerity as Nigerians….all of us!

We never go back to look at where we went wrong and our roles but instead feel changing lanes with solve anything. He who is not a student of history is condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past. Nigerians never learn because they forget history and repeat the same mistakes.

Yorubas failing to agree among themselves is not a wise reason and motivation for people who are not Yorubas and who are i:gbos to start a coup against non-i:gbos..

Yorubas played no part,
northern Nigerians played no part and did not hold on to resources of non-northern Nigerians.

it was only and mainly i:gbos that played the major role in destabilizing non-i:gbo regions which ultimately led to destruction of Nigeria.

Bannedlargedx2:
Although, no player should be bullied at all but how are our fans bullying iwobi and allowing chukwueze to go free? When, chukwueze didn’t do anything worthy

Chukwueze is the one that headed the corner kick cross towards Ekong that Ekong scored which means Chukwueze made an assist and that makes him go free..

if iwobi had made an assist or tried to press opponents and make tackles he may have gone free but he stood still and was ball watching while the people around him were closing down opponents, pressing and making tackles..

point is, iwobi probably had the most un-used energy and stamina in that final and he did not use it.

in summary, iwobi played as if he was bribed not to press and tackle players but people only noticed in that match because more people watched the final but in previous matches iwobi was also doing the same thing of not pressing and tackling players..

all iwobi does is to pass to Sanusi or Simon who then runs with the ball on the LW and then crosses when in reality its iwobi that's meant to run with the ball and make through passes to Osimhen..

In this AFCON, Onyeka was the AM, CAM, CM and DM.. I don't know what iwobi did apart from pass to Zaidu or Simon.. I know he took some shots...

he was poor at this AFCON.

Hopefully when he gets to Fulham he starts running around and pressing again...

casualobserver:
Nigerians like running around in circles avoiding the real issues. When we had parliamentary system we failed, we tried presidential, it has failed…what is the common denominator…..Nigerians! Every time we have an election they want to amen the electoral act, we have one of the best in the world but they still want to amend, what is the common denominator….Nigerians. We have all sorts of laws but the country does not work, what is the common denominator……Nigerians! We had regional government, the same people who abolished it are the ones calling to regional government 60 yrs later. We had secession clause, the same people that opposed it are the ones calling for referendum.

We can a,mend laws and systems all we like but we can’trun away from ourselves. When we are ready to deal with our real issues…..our Nigerian traits, our Pysche, they should let us know.

It was not "Nigerians" it was i:gbos that abolished regionalism and are demanding for it again and it was them that rejected secession clause and are demanding it again.

it is not a "Nigerian" trait it is an "i:gbo" trait.

be specific.

Kushites:
Nigeria will go to war if they do that.

It will be stupid of Nigeria to go war if they do that.

Nigeria can easily build a coal power plant in Enugu if Nigeria honestly wants to solve it's electricity problems.

komekn:
We have agreed that one dimensional players with just one main skill set are essentially obsolete in the modern game.

Sometimes it takes just 15 minutes to see the core skill sets of a player.

Onyedika is immobile, not particularly fast ,not skilful and with limited technical ability. Strong and physical a big yes.

He doesn't have the attributes for a top level DM Holding Midfielder that can defend attack and orchestrate play from the midfield.

We need to look elsewhere.

Onyedika is not immobile and he has unlimited technical ability.

Go on You:Tube and type raphael onyedika because you're not talking about Raphael Onyedika who is orchestrating play for club brugge and midtyland.

Moniter0:
You don't expect a central midfielder to get many assists, he didn't play Attacking Midfielder which is his main role but central midfield, and he got some pre assist in the tourney, and it was his brilliant forward pass that resulted in the corner kick from which Nigeria scored against Ivory Coast. That's the kind of things you expect from a central midfielder.

Iwobi, just like a regular attacking midfielder like Ozil tend to lose ball possessions because they make many forward passes which some of them are successful and some of them gets intercepted.

the game was prosecuted with only two midfielders, and Iwobi was tasked with too much to do which is not supposed to be so. You don't play a player like Ozil in central Midfielder role and also expect him to be marking, incepting and winning ball possessions, and functioning as an Attacking Midfielder at the same time.

iwobi is not Ozil and should never be in the same sentence as Ozil..

Ozil was getting old ( 31 years old ) and could no longer run around like he used to while iwobi is 27 years old and was standing still and ignoring passes to him and allowing opposition player run past while he stands still and watches them run past him.

if iwobi was tasked with "too much to do" what will you say about Ayinde and Ucheibe during the women world cup.

stop defending mediocrity of iwobi.. if he was tired he could have sat down on the field and say they should sub him off.

DeLaRue:
Oh please.

UK law firms are not an arm of the UK government.

The idea that the UK can forcefully deploy soldiers and build UK-owned barracks in Nigeria is preposterous.

UK doesn't have the power or the means to do that.

The most powerful country in the world, the USA, asked to station its military in Nigeria to help combat ISIS and other terrorists in the Sahel. Nigeria declined. The US went to Niger instead.

Nigeria is not a small country. A country of over 200 million people no be beans.

The US can't push Nigeria around let alone small, broke UK.

Every country owned business whether govt or private citizen is an arm of its government.. that you don't know this means you're not knowledgeable.

u:s and u:k are one and the same people..

SuccessfulRichi:
British should come and recolonize Africa please please... Black can't rule themselves. Look at what white South Africans are doing in South Africa. Development here and there. Let's go. Let's go.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, pipe borne water, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, power plants, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1840 and 1960 and after..

they took the trillions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized

go and watch the south African movie "the Power of 1" and see how under-developed most parts of South Africa was.... the South Africa you see today was built by black south Africans..

DeLaRue:
1. Nigerian lawyers have been able to practice in the UK for a long time by writing a simple test called the Qualified Lawyers Transfer test. Even without the test, you can still practice, just that you have to inform prospective clients you are a 'Foreign Lawyer'.

2. UK law firms that set up office in Nigeria will primarily be targeting commercial/business/cross-border transactions. 99% of their work willl be office based. It is unlikely you'll see them wearing a robe and appearing in a court, even though though they might be able to do so.

These people are not coming here to handle Chieftancy, land, election matters, or Mr A ran away with my wife type of cases etc

They will be targeting big transactions.

they are targeting Nigeria's political system and total control of Nigerians..

what it means is they will now be able to freely deploy soldiers to Nigeria and build U:K owned soldier barracks and bases of operations all over Nigeria.

nedekid:
Can anyone explain how this will be beneficial to Nigerians? As I did not see the part where Nigerian lawyers will reciprocatively practice in UK courts.
Lawyers in the house should kindly enlighten us.

it will never be beneficial to Nigerians...

the whyte man can never do anything that will benefit the black man..

Jman06:
You're actually the airhead here, because it is on record that we had the best of education during the colonial era with university of Ibadan being a campus of the university college London. Many of our professors and professionals today we're educated by the colonial masters. Then Nigerians didn't need visa to travel abroad and many were offered scholarships to study in choice universities abroad.

Infrastructures done by colonial masters were of high quality. Those roads and bridges constructed by the British colonial leaders stood the test of time. Our people got the best of healthcare as British doctors were the ones in charge of healthcare. Same British doctors were the ones who later trained our people on orthodox medicine which then replaced our crude and ineffective traditional medicine practice.

The list goes on

South Africa is much more developed today than Nigeria because the colonial masters stayed longer there compared to Nigeria that hurriedly got Independence only for our evil and selfish politician to start looting our common wealth instead of developing the country. Sometimes, I wish that the colonial masters stayed longer in Nigeria. I'm sure the country would have been better than it is today.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, pipe borne water, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1840 and 1960 and after..

they took the trillions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized

go and watch the south African movie "the Power of 1" and see how under-developed most parts of South Africa was.... the South Africa you see today was built by black south Africans..

catapault is correct you are the airhead..

DeLaRue:
This is positive in some ways

1. Lawyers from Nigeria and other Common law countries have been able to practice in the UK for decades. All you have to do is write the Qualified Lawyers Test (QLT). Most newly qualified lawyers from Nigeria can pass the test at first attempt. It is not difficult at all. Once you pass, you will be inducted as a Solicitor of Supreme Court of England and Wales, and be given a practising certificate. That's it. You can practice like any other British Solicitor. You can complete the whole process within a few months.

All these years that Nigerians have been able to do this, Nigeria did not have a reciprocal simple route for UK lawyers to practice here and there was no histrionics from the UK side.

2. Having global UK firms like DLA Piper opening their own office here will give foreign investors confidence that the same firm handling their matters in Hong Kong, London, New York, Paris etc will handle their matters in Lagos/Abuja Nigeria. Many large foreign companies prefer such seemless arrangement.

3. Nigerian law firms have not particularly covered themselves in glory when it comes to corruption. Many of the international scandals surrounding large contracts where Nigeria's interest were traded cheaply to foreigners in return for bribes were drafted by Nigerian lawyers. Having UK legal firms here who are subject to the UK Bribery Act and who know how much costly and damaging allegations of bribery can be to their reputation is a good thing. Large international contracts involving Nigeria may be better handled on behalf of the country by a global UK law firm based in Nigeria than by Nigerian law firms who time and again have proven themselves ready to sell out Nigeria for a few dollars.

Overall, I believe people are right to ask questions about whether Nigeria is getting anything in return. That's for the government to answer. But, I personally believe this is a positive move.

You're a slave...

it is very negative in every way... especially in the long run..

Kog45:
Alex Iwobi did not deserves all these insults from fans.It is football and a lot happens on the field and even behind the scene....we need to respect our players cuz they are humans.

Some months ago we all watched in the Women's World Cup how the likes of Halimatu Ayinde and Christy Ucheibe ran tirelessly on the field and made sure the SF midfield did not collapse against countries ranked higher than the Super Falcons and these are women..

Now, a certain man named iwobi could not run tirelessly on the field and ensure the SE midfield does not collapse and you're saying
" It is football and a lot happens on the field and even behind the scene....we need to respect our players cuz they are humans."

Ayinde and Ucheibe must be super humans..

iwobi deserves all the insults he is getting from fans especially when women footballers are putting more effort than him on the field..

SE needs the men versions of Ucheibe and Ayinde in the midfield.

Hagiazomakai:
Thank you for your advice
Istopped eating bread and milk long ago

But if i dont eat stew,what else would i use to eat
Kindly advice

Nothing else. Just eat what you eat but without stew.

Hagiazomakai

Stop eating jollof rice or any food that has stew, pepper in them.
Stop taking sugar or anything that has sugar in it like soft drinks, bananas or other fruits that have sugar.
Stop eating boiled eggs.
Stop eating bread because it also has sugar in it.

Drink at least 2 sachets of water after each meal you take.


It also means you're milk intolerant.

People who are milk intolerant should stop drinking milk and anything made from or with milk.

People who are milk intolerant also suffer from pile ( blood coming out an*s while purging ) due to taking too much sugar.

You must stop milk, sugar, bread, stew, drinks that have sugar, boiled eggs, pepper, suya e.t.c


Before you go the toilet.. drink at worse 1 sachet or half a bottle of water.

There's is no cure or medicine to completely treat it. You have to become strict with what you eat and drink.
