Brainydoo:
Hello guys,

pls I need your help. Where is Katsina State Transport Authority (KSTA) park located in Abuja.

Thanks.

Good morning. So where did you finally board the vehicle?

PastorFire good morning. Abeg I need your help on something in Jos. I've sent you a DM.

Rankett:
He said he has CIRA requirements. Meanwhile, binance bought the binance .ae extension for $300,000 in 2017, months after they launched, they've not filed a trademark as at that time. Namebio confirmed this.

On another note, binance lost binance .com.au to a florist in Australia in 2018. Visit binance .com.au and you will see it's entirety different from cryptocurrency.

If the guy knows how to play his game well, there's a chance he's gonna win

It's not clear if binance.ae was bought by Binance as it's still not redirecting away from Sedo.

CZ wan steal person domain.

Just read, does the guy have a case?

The guy might loose out on the domain on one ground: He is not resident in Canada or a citizen of Canada. The domain in question is binance dot ca.

This kind of article should be pushed to the front page often instead of the short and illogical articles which allows tribalists and nitwits have a field day on the front page thinking they have the best opinion.

JohnnA1:
Good share.
What NP thread are the screenshots from?

I think I must have screenshot it from the sales report thread.

Domainer1999:
For that guy that said domaining is a gamble/ponzi scheme, this is the real domaining.
Domaining is just the online real estate.

It took 34 years before it's worth the $1.7 million sale price. That is investment.

New domainers register a name and get discouraged it doesn't sell in a year. That is a gambling mindset.

What are you registering?
How long are you willing to wait to sell it?
Do you have a model to maintain/build your portfolio or you're just doing insha'allah?

That is what separates gamblers from investors.

Yemd:
Bosses in the house, pls how can I respond to this message from a buyer: Message $200, This is my final offer $200

That sounds like a ready buyer. If you want to take the offer, all you need to is reply in a professional manner without sounding desperate. Here is what I'd reply with.

Thanks Yemd for the offer. We'll take $200 for the domain. The price has been updated on the checkout page.

However, as we are still negotiating with other businesses that have shown interest (and because we are negotiating a higher price with them), this price will be valid for the next 24 hours before it reverts to the original asking price.

It would be best if we can seal this deal immediately.

Here is the checkout link [LINK]

You can only use either "We" or "I" depending on how your initial pitch sounded.

PS:
Attached below is a swipe of all the responses AwesomeDuru dropped on this thread. I know some of you will still come back to ask how to reply to "how much" outbound responses.

From the few questions I've watched, the Labour Party candidate looks very knowledgeable and well-informed. I say this not because of Peter Obi. We all know Labour will not even get the top 2 spots in the election result.

The SDP candidate also answers questions articulately well. This shows he has an idea of what is expected of him if given the chance. The Accord party candidate sounds a bit nervous but he also answers the questions well.

The APC candidate as expected, had to defend his performances in the last four years against what he plans to bring onboard if given the mandate again. He wasn't confident at times with his facts and figures which makes me think some of them may be lies.

The most disappointing is the PDP candidate. That man is bereft of knowledge. He is more interested in attacking the government rather than telling people what he is going to do to make things different. It's a shame that he is the flagbearer of the party twice in the gubernatorial elections.

Greenscientist:
Please, why will a company that have a website still buy a domain name?

Just curious.

It's a very good question. There are different reasons but the most important is for upgrade.

1. For upgrade.
Most start-ups are financially constrained when setting things up so they may not be able to afford the best name for their business. The next best thing to do in such cases would be to register lesser extensions or add prefixes/suffixes to find available names. They could even decide to go for a different name entirely from the keyword they would have loved to use. Facebook started as The Facebook, Nike was formerly called Blue Ribbon Sports, Xiaomi upgraded to mi.com, etc. There are many of those upgrades every month which doesn't make the news.

2. Traffic
Some domain names which has been used in the past has good traffic. If such domains are redirected to a new website, they will help the domain gain visitors especially if the contents on the referring domain is related to what the new website offers. For example, if Nairaland.com were to shut down and the domain is redirected to a blog like lindaikeji, the traffic the referring domain provides alone will make Linda Ikeji's website the most popular among Nigerians. More visitors means more money.

3. Authority
A good domain conveys authority in that industry. Amazon is a top brand already but they have some very good one-word domains redirecting to their website as well. Which would you trust more between shoes.com and WeSellShoes.com? Having shoes.com redirecting to your e-commerce store for example would make people buy more from you. Some top brands also acquire solid names which can help them diversify in the future. You can also call it brand protection. I think Amazon owns Accept, Look, Exchange, all in dot com.

That aside, having Geo domain names redirecting to your website confirms you as authority in that city who offers that service. Names like AustinPlumber, DallasRealtor, ChicagoDentist, SeattleFlorist, etc. will get snapped up by businesses if they are available even though one of them (realtor) is a trademarked word.

4. Staying ahead of competitors
As weird as this sounds, some business owners acquire domain names pitched to them not because they need it but because they would rather other businesses don't have it. This is the reason why some Geo domain names bought by end users don't redirect away from where it sold even though the person that purchased it is still in business.

I believe others will explain more.

sleuthhound:
dats why youths r warned to get involved in election & pvc process. Dem no go hear! Suffer no dey tire Nigerians, make dem continue dey allow idiots govern dem!

Let's assume the most preferred candidate by Nigerians wins in 2023, will every job seeker get good employment? If yes, please tell me how using one of the candidates' manifestos.

Nihaoma:
As for borrowing money to invest in names if one is too sure of success, that's a very flawed argument.

Kindly expatiate on this.

arizon101:
Noo, the iptv channels are free. Even the kodi addon channels eg pluto, tubi, plex, the crew etc are free. The only thing u need is a stable network and lots of data, it u want to enjoy ur box or stick.

Thanks sir. Even though the terms sound new to me, I appreciate your response.

CaptainFM1:

You can be enjoying Live net TV while we gradually build up Kodi.


Download Kodi 19 on Google play. When you have Kodi, I will give you step by step guide on how to build your channels on Kodi.

Thanks boss. I'm bookmarking this. I will get back to you with step by step updates whenever NEPA permits.

CaptainFM1:
You don't need further subscription. All you need is a very good and affordable internet.

Boss I have the tv box and I can afford the subscription. Please teach me how to go about it.

id911:
Tony said he started domaining fully with $15k. If I have 15k USD as the base capital to invest in this business, without being immodest, I'd certainly also be making meaningful sales because I know that type of domain names to invest in.

That is because you've gained knowledge through experience. Money is important so is the knowledge.

Carmal90:
Tell me about the first Tony.
Never heard about him.

Said he didn't know there is a business which involves selling domain names even though he has been registering domain names for long.

COVID 19 made him discover domaining and now he's killing it. He announced this month that he has crossed over $200k in sales this year.

Learner47:
Another Nigerian Tony about to emerge. Finger crossed.

I swear. That was what came to my mind immediately I read the post. Cashew kindly share with us the names you sold and for how long you've been registering domain names.

arizon101:
Cable network is way cheaper. I have an android box with more than 12,000 channels from iptvs, pluto, plex,the crew, ghost, tubi, and Samsung tv addons. Even connected to dstvnow. Very nice, until you check how much you spend on data at the end of the month. Unless you want to watch at an Inferior resolution i.e 480sd. U can even google estimated data usage in a month by android box/stick users.
Let's be honest.

Sir, data aside, do you need to subscribe for those 12,000 channels?

I'm interested in getting IPTV just for football but I'm discouraged with idea of having to subscribe for the channels and also the data at the same time.

Cc: CaptainFM1

How much is your subscription?

There is only a thin line between creativity and stupidity.

Zacks43:
Please is scam. Dont apply anything

Just confirmed from their official handle that they're not recruiting even though the signed letter is since May 12.

Apologies @ xboy1993 even though I don't believe hotnigerianjobs will post fake listings.

kolarov93:
Have you tried to register brother?
I was trying to register since yesterday, they didn’t send confirmation code till now

Na today you start dey apply for government job? Just relax, they will fix everything later.

Emmy000seun:
Where person won click here?? Nothing to click

https://www.niscareer.org.ng/

The website is not live yet though.

Xboy1993:
Its fake

You guys won't even make inquiries before screaming fake. Did the OP put his phone number or email for you to contact him? He didn't even include that could have warranted your accusation.

You guys should try portraying yourselves as literates at least.

Sapiosexuality:
End of so many things. Besides it's large visibility, GoDaddy doesn't make anything better. It worsens everything. So many people will quit domaining.

How did you arrive at this conclusion?

We will know the true story by July 6th.

demo4ril97:
@crazeworld kindly permit me to ask you.

Regarding the DAN kyc verification did you print out your NIN premium slip or you just sent it as pdf?

I requested a withdrawal from Epik via BTC and I was charged over $18 as blockchain fee when it is clearly stated that Fast bit network is just $5.46.

Thanks in anticipation

I sent a screenshot of the NIN document. Like nkeona said, you should have withdrawn litecoin instead of BTC from Epik.

therealMcCain:
I have dealt with this lady several times. She is cool based on all My dealings with her. I find her rates for payoneer better than most exchangers.

I can attest to all that you've said about her. I sell my Payoneer funds to Cokebar then later started using her as escrow for my Nairaland dealings. I still do.

While I can't find any wrong from her chat with omni247, I do agree that some trusted exchangers and escrows on Nairaland are sometimes rude. I formerly use Wese90 who is also one of the most trusted guys on the business section. Though very friendly and courteous, a single unprofessional remark ended our business relationship after many deals and referrals.

Cokebar your services are good but it can be improved. Asking simple questions from your customers after every transaction about how you can improve your services is a great feedback loop for business. Timely response/apology to unhappy customers on and off Nairaland is also a great tactic which shows prospective customers how responsive you are to complaints.

KubwaBoy:
Bro. Everything good for here. Hope you are fine too?

I'm kicking. You were one of the first persons I interacted with when I joined this thread. I haven't been seeing your activities here for quite some time now. How is domaining and other offline ventures?

KubwaBoy:
If I have not had deals with her, I won't be bold to call her out. You can go back to some pages on this thread to see what other guys said about her attitude

Boss it's been a long long time. Hope you are good?

Nigeriaismine:
Omo!! This is quite frustrating, I have been banned again, well for the benefit of those who want to know rest of the story, I have attached the screenshots of the summary.

Cc Crazeworld
Currently I don't have access to the email to my nairaland account.

But hope say una family never break? Dis one wey your brother no gree pay your school fees because you no follow im wife for social media
