So yahoo has gone mainstream and security agents of every stripe are basically opportunistic shakedown artistes who want the people they stop and search to be fraudsters

Because of this Nigerians often clear all bank sms from their phones. There is a particular profile they are looking for - mostly young men. Though they also profile older men in Lexus vehicles

If you can buy glasses with a camera in them, you will have a lot of wicked fun messing police up

They are all in on it from the lowest ranks to the highest echelon (abba kyari who was a 'supercop' on the fast track to be ig was implicated as an enforcer for high level yahoo boys)

But if they are caught on camera they will be disavowed.

Yeah, was somewhat surprised how quickly it escalated and how quickly they swarmed the car. But got to see firsthand what people were complaining about. Was absolutely unnecessary and escalatory.
They eventually let us go without any "payment". Probably would have ended differently for a lot of people.

But that phone experience and a recent experience of my bank shorting me a good amount of money(repeat transactions) made me change how I bank when I am there (segregated accounts).
What do they do with bank sms's?

These guys with the google lenses are bold though. Respect their determination. But, they seem cool, may pick them up.

I felt like the shakedown thing has picked up recently. I feel bad for the Detty Dec. crowd now that Lagos has become a Xmas hot spot.

whenever my mum was going to stay with my sis, she carried one of those burner type phones

option b - wipe your phone and carry a phone with burner accounts. i recently got a new line and this will not show up in truecaller as ** engr oyel** . this means when i am cold calling suppliers they wont see my id and immediately jack up the price. same can apply for situations like this. if you check my phone and all you see are barely used dummy accounts we are good.

The burner phone is smart.

I now have a travel phone with limited apps and carry my my main device in a faraday pouch and have started leaving it in the safe in the hotel. May need the main device for emergency 2FA and when I need to respond to texts from work/people that don't use whatsapp and want to keep the threads consistent.
But if I travel with my main device it defeats the purpose as they can ask for both.

On one of my recent trips to Lagos, I had some security people(about 6) stop our car and try to seize my boys phone (thought he was taking a photo of them). Wanted my driver to pull in somewhere. I told the drive not to move, so they slapped him around some (I felt bad for him). I was adamant they were not getting that phone. It was pretty intense, lasted for about 15 minutes. But, I thought how insane it was that they should think that someone should give them their phone given all the financial info/blackmailable on it. Made me be more cautious about what I have on my phone in Nigeria.
Now, I am in the US, thinking about how to protect my phone while coming back to the US.

We're in a new world.

bemeruca:
He is going by IjeBos train of thoughts. He lives in the US he is automatically richer and by default he is doing better than anyone who post here.

If you show him otherwise he will never accept that reality.

See his situation with raumdeuter 🤣

This post reveals a lot about you.

1.) You don't live in the US.
I assume a lot of the posters here live in the US. So, by your theory, by virtue of living in the US, they would equally be wealthy.
But you see it from ur perspective of not living in the US. Because you don't live in the US.

2.) Your insecure about not living in the US and thus lie about it.
You seem to have a lot of insecurities and become emotional when someone touches on them.
Kinda said and beta manish.

I read an interesting article recommending that even citizens carry a burner phone instead of their main device when entering the country over concerns of the Trump admin searching phones.
Got me thinking about how I carry phones around when I travel and if this was more alarmist.
There was a 2nd article that gave a counter that a burner would elicit more suspicion at the border to delete pertinent messages instead.

As a citizen you have a right to enter the US, but I believe they still have the right to search your devices if they want.
Also Carrying a Nigerian passport and/or coming from Nigeria, I'm sure raises that possibility.
Has anybody changed up what they carry when they travel and if so, how?

bemeruca:
Remember when he was making fun of me for raising my own chickens I eat. 😂😂

You seem hurt by that, maybe emotional.😂
You should probably sit with that and figure out why.

basilico:
We are watching to see how long the bromance will last.
Maybe if you accept Ijebos is doing better than you, has more money and his quality of life is only one you can dream of you will the dance last .

I get why you'd seek affirmation from cococandy, from her posts, it's clear she's very smart, well read, successful, detailed and thoughtful.
But dude, let this thing go.
At this point, this jealousy is bordering on creepy.

cococandy:
We miss this level of common sense and empathy

How far that seems from where we are now.

cococandy:
I’m getting rid of one house in Virginia and a set of 3 in California. The California ones come in a set. Buyer has to take all. There’s some work to be done on one of the units in CA but the rest are in pristine condition. Moderate units very easy to rent out.

The Virginia one (especially) never stays empty because of the huge traffic of military families in the area looking for long term rentals. If you find the rate you’re looking for and want to invest. Come buy one of my houses.

Oshe 🙌🏽

I see you Coco.

God will punish everyone who voted and supported this mad man. Home and abroad.

This is deliberate and people are going to suffer and unfortunately die.

Lord have mercy.

It's not even as if this was surprising.
We discussed this before the election.
Esp. that his economic policy, esp the tariffs would crash the Economy.
And here we are.

Everyone who rationalized and lied for Trump owns this.

This is all Trump.

Insane.
Are we Winning Yet.

raumdeuter:
Why should I post anything to you? To prove what? That you are not a failure? When you asked for the vehicle purchase evidence, did I oblige you?

You need to take a seat and think about why your life is always anti progress, anything good things happen to people you become sad

Job reports today you are sad
I bought a car for cash you became sad
I bought nvdia stocks and sol, you became sad
A girl has citizenship interview, You become sad
Your friends kid going to college probably makes you sad too

Why oblige me on the thing we are discussing, but you can post a bunch of irrelevant other things?
You must deal with low IQ people like Bemeruca daily.

Pack Well.
You're such a fucking weasley liar.

basilico:
Okay smart ass. The formula you displayed had total imports as the denominator, making the tariff infinite if penguins dont import whiskey.
I asked you about UK buying a $120B aircraft carrier, entitling them to export 2.1 million Land Rover Defenders @56K duty free to America. Does the formulae apply or there were a lot of considerations to arrive at a tariff?

Oga. That is the White House's formula. That is the formula they put out.
Those are the "tarrif" numbers the White House got from their Bullshit formula.
Go argue with them.

I don't know even what you think you are arguing or what you don't understand.
What part of their formula is Bullshit do you not understand?
It is not how you calculate tariffs.

raumdeuter:
You claimed I lied about paying cash for a $160k for a vehicle, Did I bother to convince you?

You are free to live in your delusional world where failure surrounds and envelope you

You can continue to cry when others are making money

You tried to give advice here saying you bought Nvidia stock to hold long as you said the market was rebounding..
I called you out then as the market wasn't done correcting.
The market is correcting more now and now you claim you sold it for profit.

In order to prove ur claim you've posted everything including the kitchen sink except the Nividia buy and sell orders.

You shouldn't be fooling people about investment advice by lying about it.
It's people's money.

You're shameless.

raumdeuter:
You are so cute when you are whining and crying. Did I ever show you my buy order, why should I show you the sell order

Like when I told you I paid cash for my 160K vehicle and you broke down in tears online because you can never

Life must be so miserable for you

Take a look at the wire for the balance after the 10% deposit

You know what to so right? Cry more

Nice try.
The topic was you lying and saying you bought and sold Nvidia a month ago.
Here goes your typical gaslighting diversionary tactics.

You try to hide from one lie by posting another.

Why is it that you lie so much and think everyone around you is stupid?

raumdeuter:
You stay there and be wailing when others are making moves.

I have set my trades for nvda join in prayers to cop the 300 shares at $90 and watch me sell in the next few weeks when it gains another 20%

Why make moves when you cat sit and wail cry and moan

Lol.
Anyone can create a buy order and then immediately cancel it.
If you had bought and sold Nvidia when you said you did you would have posted both that buy and sell order.
But you didn't, but you could post this buy order, therefore you're lying.

raumdeuter:
Doing fantastic, I sold for 10% profit and I told Obaigwe about it when I did

I have set limits today at $90 for Nvidia and hoping to cope a few hundreds of shares, It has flirted with $93 today.

Calling banks now to get a 5.5% interest on mortgages now

You wont know anything about it right. Yours is to wail moan and cry

See a liar.
You bought Nvidia and sold it when you were talking about holding long term?
Do you ever stop lying?

You were arguing it was a dip and the market was already rebounding. I was saying it was a correction that would get worse once Trump did his tariffs.
One of us was right.

raumdeuter:
Imagine if the job report just came out and blew out expectations out of water, I will assume working Americans will be happy

But some people will just be sad anyways

Lol.
You are not a serious person.
Do you have any idea what is going on in the economy right now?
Btw, how are your Nvidia shares going? And how is that rebound?

raumdeuter:
You posted a picture of crashing market but not able to follow up with the picture of the same market rebounding. So what is your intention?
Since you want to side step the issue of tariff because you probably know its a losing argument for you Its okay then
So when are you posting the market rebound with the same excitement you posted the crash

bemeruca:
You are really a self-loathing homo. Apples biggest market is the US. China should screw us because apples make their phones there and sell there.

You are really a vegetable as Raumdeuter said

I suspect Bemeruca has some things he needs to come out on.
How many people has he called a homo now?

raumdeuter:
US job reports surpassed expectations in March

The U.S. added 228,000 jobs in March, far more than the 140,000 economists had expected.

Last month’s gains far outnumber the 117,000 roles added in February, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics

America is growing and happy.

Nairaland's own Baghdad Bob.
If he's not gaslighting, he's not writing a post.

Imagine if the markets were melting down and Obama, Clinton or Biden were golfing on a self decided 3 day weekend.
How much would Fox News and in fact every Media outlet be melting down?

A Republican does it.. Nada.

bemeruca:
Luckily for you, he is a homo, and as a result, you will not get a black eye.
That's the problem with feminists, do you know Ijebos could not understand why despite as he gleefully watched his dad beat the hell out of his mom, she won't leave his dad 😢😢

Then he concluded his mom was a gold digger; she stayed for the money.
So yes, you would date a homosexual who will give you the black eye and beat you more if you get emotional about it. And coco you know you can't help yourself when it comes to emotions.

I didn't someone could cram so many lies in one post.
Imagine the amount of jealousy it takes to write a script about someone else's life.

cococandy:
Since that day Basil asked me “would I date a person like IjeBos if I were single?” and I said yes, you have not had peace. I don’t even know you. what’s up bro?
Why did that response seem to be ruining your week? That’s some low vibrational energy.

Yes I would date someone who has his qualities. In fact I would go out of my way and serve him breakfast lunch and dinner on my knees old Nollywood style. I hope this doesn’t send you over the bridge 🤭

Lol.
Sorry you got roped into this.

basilico:
Idiot If penguins are not importing anything the denominator is zero.

1.) The White House put out the chart.
2.) The White House put out the formula.

Questions you should ask from what they put out.
1.) Is that Heard and McDonald territory inhabited by anyone other than penguins?
2.) If no, are the penguins are exporting anything to the US?
3.) If no, why is there a reciprocal 10% tariff on them?

But for some reason, you've taken their bullshit as truth and are assailing anyone who points out the inaccuracies based on what they put out.

raumdeuter:
Go and locate your guy tonight

Bwahahahahha
I'm dying here. Lol

Fam, you a legit loser.
You woke up this morning to lie up and down.
What haven't you lied about.

It's like you think you lie enough it'll change my life.
Like you're there praying with sweat coming down your head for my demise.
Next you'll be yelling "Thunder Fire You".
Lol.
I can't.

raumdeuter:
What type of 50yr old post pictures of airport bench, swimming pools, food he eats, climbs chair at clubs, stop picking calls of people who support Trump

Yes, what type of person posts pics of those thing even when they aren't theirs.

You are shameless.

raumdeuter:
This is the fooool claiming victim while calling other peoples wife prostitutes
When he is done with adults, he starts picking on minors
Yet claiming to be the victim

Your father must be tired of your Beta asss which is why he kicked you everywhere

There's always some other rational for your degeneracy innit.
Just admit u are a degenerate.

You must have missed the "in kind" part.
Posting what I wrote back to Bemeruca does not rationalize the shit that comes out of your mouth.

You're assholory is yours alone.

bemeruca:
You gonna threaten to sue again 🤣
And you are not emotional?

You aren't in the US, so no.
I'll sort you out in other ways.

For now, I'll just keep making sure everyone knows you for the Yahoo Boy you are.

basilico:
Yoir maths is poor.
Any number divided by zero is infinite.
To get a zero rate, countries will need to export same amount as they import from America.
UK buys one Ford class aircraft carrier from America worth $120billion. That means the UK is entitled to sell 2.1 million Land Rover Defenders each at $56,000 duty free to America.
You should do your homework, stop peddling Bluesky BS about formulae used by Trump to calculate tarriffs.

What? Divide by 0? Huh? Stop pretending you understand math or have an idea what you are talking about.
Not here to be your personal tutor.
The white house posted the formula and it's easy math.
If you don't understand it, google an article explaining it. Both R's and D's have panned it at this point.
Fyi, you aren't qualified to check my work on Math.
Please leave me out the conspiracy theory that is your mind.

raumdeuter:
See how he is crying, shaking and all in his emotions, He is Beta. You can now see why the father was so disgusted with him and turned him into a football.

Which father will be proud of a son like that?

He is now roaming around NL looking for a father at over 50yrs

I can't imagine what you say to your wife or kids dude.
To be able to write shit like this repeatedly means you have 0 limiters on the filth that comes out of your mouth.

I pray for your wife and kids.
I can't imagine the abuse they go through.

raumdeuter:
Was he the one who posted a picture in the passengers side of a car with the guys hands all over his laps?

Nice libel.

If you can't make an argument, just lie.
Lol.
