Hello everyone,I will like to go into cryptocurrency this year,but I'm confused on which wallet to use,I have luno app on my phone but I'm stucked at the verification level just because I only have the temporary NIMC slip with me which they are not going to accept,so I can't use that for now.

But I was told to use Quidax app instead of luno due to their low charges and easier to use compare to luno,but I just want to ask the great minds here if the registration and verification for quidax is easy to do too,cos I only have that temporary nimc slip with me and not any other form of identification.

Thanks

Bundle, Binance, blockchain wallet to mention a few....

I'll try to brief.

Around last year September/October, my dad was trying to withdraw his savings at Crusader Pensions. He's asked to submit his details, including his BVN, Valid Identification Cards, which are the normal requirements.

According to him, shortly after he submitted them a number called him and requested for an OTP sent to his phone, the caller claimed it's also one of the requirements to make the withdrawal. Unfortunately, he gave the OTP out.

His pension got paid truly, he used some of the money but, he reserved 70, 000 in the account. The whole money left in the account was wiped by an unknown person shockingly.

My dad reported to his bank, he uses UBA, research showed the man who called him used the OTP to activate the UBA Mobile app through which he successfully gained access to the money. My dad has been going to the bank for months now trying to get his money back, they keep tossing him around.

The last time he went he was told nothing can be done because, he gave out the OTP. So, the money is gone! Gone! The money he worked for for several years!

A banker in UBA even told him according to CBN rules, anybody who releases an OTP to a scammer out can't be helped to recover his/her money. How true is this?


I ran the scammer's number through the truecaller app and it brought "BANKING" as the registered name. Screenshot below..
What does it mean?

He saved his name on truecaller as banking to defraud people

You made your first million when Nigeria was still manageable. Can you make such amount if you venture into same business now? Be frank please.

Buhari economy is harsh on everyone. Any move to leave this country is a welcome development.

The earlier you Japa, the better... A country that keeps borrowing to fund budget and build infastructure for the future generation to pay back will soon end up like Greece

Visit LinkedIn.com to see where many Nigerians are working in Canada. Keep yarning nonsense. If you go to canada and get citizenship after 3 years. You can still return home if you wish. So why are you pained that people are migrating. If you cant get a job you desire there is option of going back to school and govt sponsors all or part. Some have gone back to study nursing for free.

If i call ambulance it will come, my children can enter government jobs or armed forces without knowing anyone or quota system.i have access to clean water. I have 24 hours light, i hardly enter traffic, i can stroll out at night without fear of hoodlums. I save times 5 of what i saved in Nigeria doing same work for less stress self.

Yesterday after working i went watch ice skating at 7pm. Una don normalize suffering and smiling smh

Please tell him... Here in Nigeria where minimum wage is not minimum. Pls enlighten Op about the true meaning of minimum wage and health insurance in developed countries

I really use to think like you until after the #EndSARS protest seeing a whole Nigerian Army colonel lie under oath about the #LekkiMassacre... and yes! You are right about some of your points about making money in Nigeria.

I made my first million in my early twenties doing business in Nigeria but, I would rather choose to live in a sane country where system works and hard work is valued than live in Nigeria for the sake of my future generation.

If you believe the likes of Dangote and Otedola live in Nigeria, you are wrong... They have businesses in Africa but spend most of their time outside Nigeria.

You need to travel out of Nigeria once to understand...

I have promised myself, my future generation will surely not be Nigerians. Thanks Op

(This is a true story of how I got scammed. Developed phobia for Facebook and was madly hurt by this Yahoo guy... From beautiful girl to messed up soul)

Sometimes the things you want come in form of monsters!

The Story Begins:


Where do I start from? From how my palms immediately became sweaty or my shivering voice or the sudden thought of loosing mum and joy? At 24, even though I had never been pregnant or had a child, I felt like a mother to Joy. I pictured myself giving her all the love her "dead mother" couldn't give her.

Before dive too deep, Joy is supposedly the fake daughter of my "Scammer". The one who has now fallen terribly in love with him. He doesn't know how much I hate him yet, I would probably demand for his eyes on a plate someday but yikes! I know it, my heart is too loyal, too sincere and caring to HURT.

Guess it's time to meet my scammer right? Yeah, let's do that. For the purpose of this write up, we shall call him fool..... okay, let me be nice, he will be D! Of cos, D for Devil! Haha, kind enough yeah?

Okay, so D chatted me up in August 2020. I checked his profile picture, good looks but location was Carolina, United States. That was a total turn off! I mean, I was done with distance relationship, I didn't want the lies anymore. I didn't want games anymore! Being in the United States spelt nothing but trouble, infact so many abstract ideas filled my head , forming a big monster that looked exactly like him.

I got messages from D repeatedly, at one point I simply replied with a Stern "What".

Okay, so, I am single, working class and wanted a good relationship, starting with friendship. It was during this time that K showed up in August as well.

K is 25, goal getter, smart, creative, hardworking...

He came to me saying he wanted us to work on a project together. We worked, went on a couple of outings.

I shared some of my short terms goals with him, he fitted in and yeah, I started imagining a big business empire with him but whoops! He suddenly dropped the bump: He actually has a girlfriend. That Confession only came after we had already shared a kiss.

Dude obviously knew there was no way he was going to get the cookie and wanted to "japa" Hey, K, Bye, I hope u have had a good bang now and stop lying to girls just to get down with them?

Back to D!

(Before that, you can think of me as someone who who constantly forgets that the world is a bad place)


After this Confession from K, I decided to finally listen to D in September. (Wasn't he isn't bad after all) well, that decision was the beginning of purnishment.

Oh pls! Purnishment for what exactly? For Being real, crazy, sincere or most likely being innocent, some call it mumu but please I will be lenient on myself and go with another descriptive term; "not street sharp"


Yeah, D and I exchanged contact and we had this great conversation from the first phone call. I am sapiosexual. He said he is a marine engineer and currently on the sea but will be out in December.

He asked me if was in a relationship, I told him no and he Confessed he has a baby and he is widowed, then continues with the following words:

"Ngozi, I saw your writings, your skits. You are so smart and intelligent. Can we be friends? I will love to meet you when I come home by December. Can I talk to your parents but please don't tell them we met on Facebook, tell them we have been friends for a year and that we met when I was in Nigeria. I want you to trust me, Ngozi"

Oops, what's this? I said to myself. "Well, no harm in trying" I concluded.

He injured some more: (Yeah, I replaced spoke with injured"

"I will tell my mum and baby (Joy) they will talk to you in some days time"

"I can bring you here with me in a few months. You, mum and Joy"

"That's not on my mind!" I almost screamed, couldn't hide my irritation.

"That's not my goal. If you are here to hurt me, please go" I pleaded.

That was only 0% of the pleas I was still going to make later. Oh yeah, I pleaded for the lies to stop, for the credit alerts to stop coming in. I lost weight from depression and fear, all the madness he would later play but admistd all the pleads and pictures of my weight loss, dark circles, long necks, all I continued hearing was "Ngozi, I will prove to you that not everyone is evil. I love you very much. I love you so much"

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Okay, back to the first call, I spoke;



"Okay, fine, I will talk to your mum and joy later, Can I see you in a video" I asked.

Yes, give me some minutes"

After some minutes, D truly called and (we spoke) . I swear, he was on sea. I saw the water. I saw the ship. Even the American flag and his white friend even waved. I swear, I swear, I saw it, believe me!

Now, you can imagine how shocked I was when this devil confessed months later that he only played a tape!

Okay…. Fast Forward: His "mum" finally called me; Fake mum of course.

"Hello, Ada, My Daughter. How are you". She spoke and yeah, I was hooked but I only got vulnerable when Joy spoke next.

"Mummy, you left me since all this days!" Joy said. Even though her English was perfect, she sounded like a village girl, yeah, the baby voice was there but everything was off about her voice but I just thought maybe because she grew up with a grandma.

That was how I played a mum at 24! That was the beginning of my blindness! She was the reason why I started having a soft spot for that devil! If a man has mourned a woman and even has a child he loves than his wife, then he would respect and love women.

I thought this was my new beginning, I never saw the darkness that was to come in the next few months...

... And that was how I doubled my hustle, taking several freelancing jobs, just to keep the money coming in for mum and joy and to prove that I would only ever need his true love. As each day passed, different stories came up, one lie, another lie and more and more lies.

"Help" I could have screamed so loudly from the roof tops.

If mum didn't hear me, maybe my twin sister would have heard me but most importantly, Emmy, my younger brother would surely have heard me! My best sibling! Love him die.

"He is scam. He is scam" Emeka would later say in some few weeks to come but I wasn't having any of his jargons and enough of him trying to access my phone already!

"Tule!!!!!!!" I would have screamed angrily at him the day he got to know my password and read all my messages with D!

"Tule joor" I would have screamed with tears making a mess of my face as I ran after him to get my phone, unfortunately, the slang "Tule" wasn't known last year November.

This is just the beginning....

To be continued.

I need to be sure before I get engrossed in this story... Is this a work of fiction or your real life experience?

Kindly CC @dawnomike as you proceed. Thanks

Sometimes, night travel is just the best option especially if you are travelling to the Northern/North Eastern part of Nigeria from Southwest... You either travel at night and get to your destination by day or travel by day and get to your destination late at night which could be dangerous.

Don't allow a young girl that has not started her life give you headache/heartache.

calling Mothers prostitute is not boring abi, calling anyone opposed to Kanu dictatorship fulani blood is not boring. U lie he must subject himself for the DNA test or we will continue even if it takes Five years we will be counting the days until he accepts.

I do not support Kanu in any way, neither do i support the Chukwuaustinguy calling for a DNA test as I consider it clout chasing. Kanu's late father was an Eze in his hometown that proves he is Igbo already with or without DNA test. Well, except he was born a bastard unknown to his late father.

And they both still look wrenched...

Africanu ko... Afi Kanu ni

This is becoming childish....

Buhari did not lose an election as an incumbent president... No basis for comparison here.

I feel for Donald Trump this period... this is fast becoming an humiliation.

Thank God you did not lose your car... Pls always stick to the brand you are used to no matter the recommendation of the seller. The sellers are out to sell the goods they have on shelf and nothing more

Confused set of people...

Wow! This is a professional in the field... Nice explanation. I agree with you.

Your second point is a major factor...

Hello everyone, I am making an enquiry concerning my study permit.
I just submitted my application, with proof of funds and other documents then IRCC messaged me to do the following:
a) proof of funds of six months to twelve months.
b) IELTS
I have never written IELTS and was told to submit the above for faster processing within 30 days.
I want to ask hope it will not affect my application if I fail to do so because I can't meet up with the required 30 days for the IELTS.
Another question is do I need to submit a new proof of funds?
Is there a way to alert the embassy to continue processing it?

You need to supply another proof of funds since it was specifically requested.
For that of your IELTS, not supplying it within 30 days will only delay your processing much longer. .. It is always advisable to have them all ready before you start your application process. Keep at it; you are almost there.

Nothing seems to go by traditional economic and financial rules any longer on wallstreet... Business is business and politics is politics! Fundamentals do not drive investors pretty much any longer.

That is her total sales I guess; not her daily profit

Live to fight another day...

I wonder where North Korea and Iran get funds to embark on nuclear war programs in spite of the economic sanctions...

And you tied up the thing like a prisoner of war...

Lol...I wonder which category I belong to. I think I belong to the 'Church brother geng'

Everything about the world is changing...

Twitter will soon ban him for 20 years like Nairaland mods

Now that Trump is leaving office to a president with a different ideology... Iran should just move on.

In Nigeria, Oil is more of a curse than a blessing.
