Vikto17:There are avenues for each form of payment. I always carry cash as I don't like punching in numbers waiting for certain people to tell me they received the payment. Or dealing with the drama of network issues for certain payments. Also best for tipping as I said earlier. The Aboki do use online payments. But even this trip I had to "trust" an Aboki with a 1 million transaction and leave because the payment wasn't reflecting on my account when I did the transfer and I was in a rush. Fortunately enough it came through. I've also thought about what happens if an Aboki decides to do a chargeback for a large transaction. Would rather do cash and deposit while we are both in a bank. I am in the process of looking for a new account. Zenith was too unreliable this trip. May do a combination of Opay for smaller transactions and another bank or credit card as well. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I think I'd even like to get a current account with some sort of benefits for opening/having their account. It's not the fault of the POS operators. But the system is broken. The government needs better regulation. I don't carry cash in the US, but the systems are good enough that I don't need it for the most part as I trust they are reliable. But if I do need cash, I can go to my banks ATM and get it (up to a limit). But the limit is large enough. |
Livelystone01:But it would depend on when you buy it and for what purpose. Too many foolish uneducated Trumpers ready to throw their money into anything he hypes and subsequently have their money taken. Anything Trump related I would jump in very early and exit very early as well. |
The next 4 years are going to be insane. 1) Trump says he wants to Ban Tik Tok becasue it is a China spy tool 2.) Congress bans Tik Tok and it is signed into law 3.) Trump now says he wants to save Tik Tok (which again he called a Chinese spy tool) with an Executive Order. So many layers of insanity here. The biggest being that the incoming President of the US thinks he can overturn a law signed by Congress and the previous President and upheld by the Supreme Court with an executive order. I think he should go back and read the Constitution. It's clear he hasn't. The GOP are unserious people and again this next 4 years are going to be insane. TikTok Flickers Back to Life After Trump Says He Will Stall a Ban Some users saw the social media app come back online on Sunday, following a shutdown when a federal law went into effect requiring a sale or ban. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/technology/trump-tiktok-ban-executive-order.html#commentsContainer |
bemeruca:The financial illiteracy of this post is astounding. Good work! |
budaatum:Imagine someone who is to be the next President of the US setting up a scheme to take money from millions of people. His meme coin isn't a product that adds value to most people's lives, it's just a naked cash grab. The cognitive dissonance it takes to believe this man cares for Americans while actively defrauding millions of Americans should be studied. |
bemeruca:I can't even with your dumbass. You're a loser who sits on a thread of a country he's never been just running his mouth about things he has no idea about. Do you even have any investment accounts? |
Vikto17:You're asking me why I need my money? Lol. Part of it is tipping, paying hotel services, giving my driver money for gas etc. etc. I spent about 500k in cash in 10 days even though I have a bank card. And I had to exchange it at a loss because there was no money in the ATMs. You guys seem to have gotten accustomed to tomfuckery that you can be even rationalizing paying any amount to get access to your money because the banks you put it in won't give you cash. Expect better. To top it off, my bank was acting shitty all during Dec and Jan before I left. Going through my account I have about 1 million in bank charges that I've been going back and forth with the bank to Return. Debits from double and triple charges from POS machines in some restaurants that were not working and cancelled UBER and Bolt Holds that I called for people not falling off. So, I actually plan on doing more cash transactions for the smaller stuff so I won't have to deal with the bank nonsense I'm dealing with now. |
bemeruca:What is insane about this post is that in the post I say I didn't know about it so in fact couldn't buy it. But it is actually sad that you think that buying Bitcoin is somehow an experience worthy of someone lying about. I thank God that I don't know poverty like you do. |
jamafa:Huh? What advance country do you speak? I just left Naija and found it insance that people had to pay to get their money. How is it that POS operators have cash and ATM's don't? |
Ibime:Trump is redefining levels of corruption in Govt. Was talking to a friend yesterday who is in the know about some of this stuff about how I think the level of corruption in the Trump admin will be unrivalved. Her words. Ha ha they will teach naija some lessonsWoke up to this News and also the news that CBS will settle a basically nonsense lawsuit with Trump because they are worried about an Upcoming Merger. CBS Owner Discusses Settling Trump Suit, With Merger Review on Tap Trump seeking $10 billion in suit over ‘60 Minutes’ Harris interview; FCC signals tough review of Paramount merger with Skydance https://www.wsj.com/business/media/cbs-owner-discusses-settling-trump-suit-with-merger-review-on-tap-a5916925 Unprecedented levels of Corruption Loading |
Ibime:Holy shit, how did I miss this? Always love the opportunity to burn MAGA while making money in the process. |
armyofone:And some are in Naij right now, doing very well, having leveraged their "Harvard" education. Will not name names. |
Obrigardo:It's the hypocrisy for me. A month ago all Ivy league grads were elitist and woke. Now IVy league grads are celebrated by the same people. |
Ibime:I think you can get a Harvard Extension school email account if you register for a class there. And I think anyone can register to take a class there as long as they pay. When I was younger, I remember some Nigerians doing that, then claiming they went to Harvard. Somewhat respect the hustle though.. But, I'm not one who makes a big deal of that unless someone forces me to. Congrats on the certificate! |
bemeruca:It sounds like a broken record because it's still your loserish life. When you say 50 year old man, you must be talking about Raumdeuter right? Just some weird shit. Your bestie is a 50 year old man who spends his life on an online forum and here you are talking about losers at 50. Remember the days you thought you were a big boy and would post pics of run down motels talking about luxurious meals of eba and protein? Lol. I can't with your wannabe big boy, pretending to live in the US, 4 children with one Baby momma having dumb self. It's 2025 and you've started the still the same loser. |
bemeruca:A dude wakes up, pretends he lives in the US, so he can go online and call a person who enters places he in his life could never, a loser. You have 4 children out of wedlock you don't live with nor raise, who are raised by a woman who was never your wife. And you wake up every morning to pretend you live in the US while seeming to not have a JOB outside of whatever 419 you are running. I think you have more pressing matters to worry about than who I date. But isn't this a common trend with Trumpers? Poor, uneducated people seemingly more worried about how other people lives their lives than the shit their own lives are. |
budaatum:Facts no longer matter in the US. Only feelings based on what is repeated on Fox News and Twitter. |
raumdeuter:You seem to take great pleasure writing the same drivel that is divorced from reality. If I'm unhappy in life, what would that makes someone who spends 4 hours on an internet forum running from his life, while being a stenographer for someone like Donald Trump? Do you always repeat the same things over and over and over? You should get checked out. Probably a mental condition. |
raumdeuter:You wake up in the AM to repost the most nonsensical shit that you find on Twitter/Facebook. You're a grown man sounding like an ignorant delusional child. Are you well? Did you have a stroke recently? Are you having a mental break down? Your posts are increasingly sounding more and more radicalized. |
armyofone:Unfortunately, for some this is exactly the time for it. Confusion and Chaos helps people like Trump and MAGA. And this will be more and more commonplace as all the guardrails that regulate these types of lies are removed and politicians feel more and more comfortable with these bald face lies as there will be no accountability. It's easier to lie to people as to to the cause of the problems than to come up with a solution to fix it. The steady stream of misinformation and the lack of education coupled with personal animus towards certain segments of the population whereas it be minorities, homosexuals, immigrants prevents some people from logical reasoning. Just look at this thread and the mountains of disinformation and posts laden with cognitive dissonance people spend their lives writing. I'm with Michelle Obama's new take on this. Her husband should take note. We can't be polite and normalize it anymore. It's sad that it's always woman leading on these issues. |
bemeruca:I'm sure these words from a guy who actively pretends to live in the US are quite enlightening. |
raumdeuter:Lol. This is the type of post that you write when you give your brain to MAGA. Me: Hegseth is not qualified to be Secretary of Defense.Maga Brain - Captain Intellectual Dishonesty - Raumdeuter: Let us compare your qualifications with his. I think he is more qualified than you.Huh? Does that shit even make sense to any rational personal? Friends don't let Friends give their brains over to MAGA. |
raumdeuter:Lol I'm sure that resume would seem super impressive to someone like you. Failures see something like that and get a hard on. Most of my circle are double IVYs some triple or quadruple. So it's a normal thing (to me) and doesn't mean that person is always the best match for a role. But the question is among smart people, is he qualified for that job. He is not. But most educated people know that. I would assume you would know that and your Captain Intellectual Dishonesty powers are just kicking in. But seeing the failure your life and business are, maybe I'm giving you too much credit. Dayo: Captain Keyboard Warrior. "The smartest, Richest, Most Successful, Youngest, failed Business man on Nairaland" |
raumdeuter:The resume of the US Defense Secretary nominee. Ahahahahah What is insane is that you actually wrote that as if it were impressive or were qualifications to be the Secretary of Defense. You really are an easily duped stupid person. Anyone interested, google the resume of any of the Biden/Obama/Bush/Clinton Defense Secretaries to see how unqualified this particular pick is. raumdeuter:Bwahahaah. My guy, my life and your life don't balance. I chop life while you sit online trying to chop teenage girls. He said I'm jealous of him and his 4 hours spent online sounding like a buffoon. AHahahaha |
raumdeuter:He said that because he was Valedictorian of his High School makes him qualified to be Secretary of Defense. Not the people who are professors at the US War Colleges? Not the people who have spent decades understating Geo Politics and negotiating with World Leaders? Not the people who write policy papers and have commanded Scored of Troops? No the most qualified is a Fox News TV Personality. I guess when someone walks in and says our troops in the ASEAN theater have been attacked, we can all rest assured, because after he says "HUh? Where?", his experience from being Valediction will get us through. lol. What is most hilarious from all of your posts is that to write your posts you have to pretend you are a teenager, not some man in his mid 50's. You are older than both Hegseth and me. Tell me what have you accomplished in life outside of averaging 4 hours here daily, writing these nonsense braindead posts and drooling over teenagers? You somehow want people to believe you have a high paying job, a family, ran a business to the ground, all while averaging 4 hours a day on an internet forum for a decade? You got jokes. Go rest. |
raumdeuter:Yes, it's quite stupid to think that Experience and Expertise matter esp. in a position of Secretary of Defence in this moment when there are wars in Ukraine, The Middle East and the US is pushing back on China. You think just because someone has an IVY league degree means they should be Defense Secretary? Does it mean he should be a Brain Surgeon as well? What about a professor on Astro Physics? So you think Hunter Biden would have been a good Defense Secretary as well I assume. Hunter went to the more prestigious Yale Law School. And was a Professor at Georgetown. They also seem to have the same issues with substance abuse and making good personal decisions. But of course you don't think that. You just play the fool on select occasions. Welcome to the land where experience nor expertise matter. And just like all racists, you bring up a black woman in an unrelated situation to make a point. Condoleezza Rice was never Secretary of Defense. The no votes for Secretary of of State were because of all the lies she told to get the US into war with Iraq. But racists don't seem to care about facts just what serves their racist purpose. You should spend some of the roughly ~4 hours a day you spend here actually reading and learning US history. Will help you not continuously open your mouth and stick your foot in it. It always cracks me up. The IVy league grad who I'm sure makes at a minimum double what you make is unaccomplished. Yet the fool who spends 4 hours a day (averaged over a decade) drooling over teenage woman on an online chat forum is accomplished? Wonders never cease. Go rest. |
raumdeuter:Do you even understand how stupid you sound? Defense Secretaries usually have a deep understanding of the US Military, the World, Geo Politics and Military Tactics. And you want a dude who doesn't even know where US military troops are stationed to be in charge of the US Military and get on the job training at a time of Worldwide instability? There's always a level of incredible dumbfuckery when you open your mouth. If this were a black man, you'd be yelling DEI though. At least you seem to respect IVY league graduates now. I guess his whiteness made a difference for you. He wants to be Defense Secretary but doesn't know where US troops are stationed. - Doesn't matter he's white. Doesn't know what ASEAN countries are even though US troops are stationed there. -Doesn't matter he's white. Doesn't understand the importance of ASEAN countries in this moment where the US is trying to push back on China. - Doesn't matter he's white. Your words are always soaked with deep levels of hypocrisy. |
raumdeuter:Lol. You mean why does the US Defense Secretary need to know what ASEAN countries are important to the US esp. since the US has US military (Defense) personnel in some of them and esp. now when the US is confronting China and some of those countries have key implications for that? I'm assuming that's what your uneducated, unreading, sycophantic, ready to defend all manner of foolishness ass meant. Lol. Or Did you not know that the Defense Secretary was responsible for US military personnel around the World even in ASEAN countries? Or like Hegseth did you not know what the ASEAN countries were or why some of them were important militarily? |
AmazonTopaz:Exactly. But it'd be worse. No Democrat Nominee would put up any black person as unqualified as this. But the black parrotts on this site would still find a way to call them a DEI hire because they're are black and of course black people can never be qualified. Yet, crickets on this unqualified mess of a person in one of the most important jobs. |
At this point we should be asking what campaign promises Trump won't back track on. 1st Backtracked on reducing Grocery Prices. Now backtracking on ending Ukraine war in 24 hours. Anyone who believed anything he said is a Dullard. Donald Trump backtracks on pledge to end Ukraine war in 24 hours as special envoy sets 100-day timeline https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/donald-trump-backtracks-on-pledge-to-end-ukraine-war-in-24-hours-as-special-envoy-sets-100-day-timeline/ar-BB1reCyO?ocid=Peregrine&apiversion=v2&noservercache=1&domshim=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&batchservertelemetry=1&noservertelemetry=1#comments |
raumdeuter:I think you mean developing nations (not 3rd world), but of course that's the prism in how you see Nigeria and your wanna be elitism about living in the US and your desire to be white adjacent. The reason you hate your own skin and spend hours daily writing these sycophantic Trump posts. People in Naij are doing big things and authentically love all their blackness. Failures like you wouldn't understand that. Your pride is that you entered the US, not what you have accomplished here. Also that you can suck up to poor racist white people, are intellectually dishonest and generally a degenerate who sexualizes teenage girls. You have an amazing profile here. You spend your days writing this nonsense as if you are spinning curses for me. The only upside for you is that you know little about the life I live. Otherwise it'd be clear my life is as remarkable as yours is unremarkable. Yes, I have no kids. And happily so at the moment. It allows me the ability to travel the world and live a life that'd you'd be jealous of. But, you should explain why, with a family and supposed children you still have spent on avg. of ~4 hours a day for decades in this forum. You seem lonely and unfulfilled and generally miserable in your REAL life. Why else would you spend so much time on a fake one? |
raumdeuter:It's depressing you came into the New Year still the resident degenerate on this forum. Surrounded by your cadre of idiots who have never stepped foot in the US but like to pretend as if they have. How does it make you feel knowing the only people who agree with you here are people who have to lie about living in the US or those who should be on meds? I wonder how many more hours of brain dead postings you will accomplish this year. Was averaging ~6 hours a day on this forum on your 2025 New Years List? Log off the forum, step outside and smell the fresh air. Maybe then you'll understand what happiness is. Spending half your life on Nairaland isn't happiness. I thought in your 50s you would have learned that. But here you are, still living life as if Nairaland is life. Enjoy your loserish Nairaland existence, while the rest of us just Enjoy REAL life. |
