Footage of soldiers entering a village in Sierra Leone in 1998 has been miscaptioned online as showing Nigerian soldiers in Niger, where President Mohamed Bazoum was ousted in a coup on July 26, 2023.

The old video clip, which has been overlayed with the false caption: “Nigerian army at Niger,” shows military personnel firing shots while entering the village of Goderich.

Same group of people who complained the government is not doing much on security is complaining the government is spending much on regional security. This is the supposedly woke generation.
DYOR.
no dey juz raatata upandan

guys!
i am actually bothered. Nigerians are facing stiff competition from other countries like Nepali, Bangladesh, Sri Lankans, Indians (especially Indians) as if that is not enough, garri ijebu is facing stiffer competition with Abu Kaas rice.
The rice go just dey swell like say tomorrow no dey...SML (so much love)

That's just it.
Blv me, you aren't a fool for doing such because this immigration officers are hungry ppl who will delay u unnecessarily till you miss your flight. (Yes! They have different charges they can bring against you and that's their game there).

I will alws advise first timer to hold naira just incase even if we know the money is illegal but we can't allow them to "pour sand in our garri"

Mid last year when I went home, I was disturbed when going back after checking my residence card and visa stamps. The lady first tot I was a first timer cos my passport fresh for back not knowing stamps in my passport can paint her house.

They searched my bags and my 'red oil' was seized, they wanted to seize the wines I bought for my boss too but I told them I will rada leave all my bags for them than to seize those wines. they asked me to go and declare it in one mumu office like that. If not for my gf that gave them 2k to leave me, we will dig it cos I knew the wines aren't against what I can travel with.

They tot it was 2012 when they took 10k from me while I was shaking and stammering due to silly questions they were asking me left and right.

Bro, I wish u success.

Thanks bro. JAH bless

sodawater:
please I want to get something straight. Were you extorted because you don't have a BTA or because you are a fresh traveller? I will be travelling in couple of days... will they still try to extort me even when I have my BTA with me? Please reply.... Thanks

I think it's the culture around there. Anyways, next time I will keep N100 notes so that by the time I give a 1k, pocket go full.
Still on still, do not miss your flight over kobokobo

My experience at the MMIA just two days ago: I left home with a trolley bag and a back pack. On getting to the first checkpoint: my trolley weighed 6 kg more than the max allowable limit which is 30kg. It means I have excess and will have to pay 30$/kg (unverified). I stood arms akimbo while the next person is being attended. Then I asked the checking officer what could de done, he said he doesn't know. So I told him I am willing to see the Qatar Airline office where the payment will be made. He smiled and pulled me to a corner. Give me 5k and I will assist he said, I responded I only have 2k. We settled at 3k. He got a GMG bag, remove some of my things from the trolley and put in the GMG bag and that was it. He said I will have to carry the GMG bag with me while the trolley is kept with other loads. Onto the next one
I be JJC naa, I fall mugu for my country: I didn't know I could carry another bag plus my backpack.

I had just $100 on me with my card: so I was asked to producevmy PTA, I told them the bank did not give me (it's actually unavailable at banks). The officer laughed and told me I will have to produce it before he allow me pass. Again another impasse, so I dip my hands in my pocket pull out a 2k smiling at him. He smiled back, return my docs and onto the next one.

What are you going to do in doha was the next question. I laughed put a 1k in the docs and hand them over. He fumed and return it saying h I not here for that and referred me to his boss. My mind skipped several beats, I met his boss who asked me the same question. I repackage, switch mode to Queens English and answered that I got an employment stated on the Visa. He asked where is my offer letter and I retorted that it is in my mailbox. He insisted he has to see it. Just then a female officer approached, she assessed me and asked what the issue is. I kept it simple still in Queens and explained to her. She laughed at me and said I should stop speaking Oyibo and do normal. Then I deep my hands in my pocket brought 2k, she protested so I made it 3k then I moved on. Onto the next one.
The next one asked for offer letter '4 my mind offer letter again'. No time for queens, I did the dip and offer 1k. We both smiled and moved on to the next.
This next one ask for both PTA and offer letter: kai where I want start!. Just then I receive a call from the bank that my Western Union request ha been processed and the details sent on whatsapp. So I showed it to the officer and deep for 1k.
At this point I knew I had just 2k left. I don't know how many more points left to go. Then a young guy approached me and told me that he can assist me get through every other checks at no cost, all I need do is give him whatever. I agreed and we went through three other points unchallenged. And straight to the waiting point to board the flight. I gave the guy 1k from which he got me a cold bottle of water. Till I board the flight, I refuse to leave the seat so that no other person will challenge me. I know my level: no PTA, no offer letter...na them sabi

GOD bless you all. Been following this thread for a long while. Did DIY with a friend's Help and currently at the MMIA to board a flight to Qatar. Will contribute as event unfolds. Thank you all for the comments.
