Richtaiwo: All these excuses are nothing more than desperate attempts to cover up empty boasts and baseless bravado. First, the passport was supposedly old, then the blue passport was not diplomatic, but merely a certificate of one bla bla bla. You also saw the yellow card, a standard international travel document.
Yet, after all the noise, not a single piece of evidence has been produced to show you have ever legally travelled out of the country by air. Meanwhile, I have travelled to 6 African countries with that blue passport, and even the green passport you saw was renewed less than a year ago. You can keep making grand bets on social media, but without proof, they are nothing more than empty talk to cover up. Any traveller will easily recognise those documents as authentic. But here is a social media clout, he doesn't even know what constitutes travelling documents. Yes, anyone can copy from the Internet, but your username was clearly written on it to remove those doubts.
Lastly, if you cannot produce evidence, stop pretending to have experiences you clearly do not have, and kindly stay out of my mentions. I will now bring down my documents from the site.
Again, anyone can take a picture of a passport. It doesn’t prove anything. Open it to show your name, Taiwo, and the places you have travelled to. I dare you.
Look at you trying to feel fly with that fake looking Ecowas passport wey you dey use go Accra and Abidjan by road. The fact that you called that thing a diplomatic passport is very funny. You must think you are talking to a child.
I repeat. You have never been to any country by air. I am willing to bet with any amount of money. Take me up on it!
Richtaiwo: The irony is that those who confidently make claims about things they clearly know nothing about are often the ones with little or no travel experience. I filled every page of my passport before it expired, renewed it, and later obtained a diplomatic (blue) passport because most of my trips are official, making it unnecessary to visit some African embassies repeatedly for visas.
Based on what you have written, I am more inclined to believe that you have never legally travelled out of this country by air. Meanwhile, I'm not a gambler, you may prove me wrong with documentary evidence, like this.
And you are proving what exactly with that picture of an old passport? Any damn person can take a picture with an old passport and post on the internet. It proves nothing at all.
The mere mention of you owning a blue diplomatic passport shows you are just a troll. In what world is a diplomatic passport blue? They are always red. You must think you are talking to a child. That blue thing you have is the Ecowas travel certificate that Nigerians have been abusing and using to travel to Accra and Abidjan by road.
I am willing to bet any amount of money that you have never ever travelled outside Nigeria by air. This is a very bold statement. I dare you to take me up on it.
Richtaiwo: Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am speaking from personal experiences. I have travelled into and out of Nigeria more than 20 times, including a trip to this SA about 2 years ago. From my experience, international airports subject departing passengers to multiple layers of security, far beyond the initial security screening at the terminal entrance.
Before boarding, just before leaving the departure hall and start proceeding to the hangers, there are gates where passengers are typically required to remove items such as shoes, belts, phones, and hand luggage for X-ray screening while they pass through separate security scanners and physical checks. In some airports, boarding passes are even checked again after passengers disembark from shuttle buses to the aircraft. If you insist this is not how international airports operate, then it is difficult to believe you have ever boarded an international flight.
That is not true at all. I travel through many international airports including Joburg and Cape Town all the time. You only go through security once and that’s it. No more security searches except as I mentioned before, you are randomly selected. And as I said before, that applies to people that look and act very suspicious. If this happens to you all the time, you better go and work on your appearance.
It is only in Nigeria, you are searched again before boarding which most frequent flyers find absurd.
Again, I am willing to bet any amount of money that you have never travelled outside Nigeria.
Richtaiwo: It would have been far better to remain silent than to post something this embarrassing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with never having boarded an international flight. What is absurd, however, is pretending to understand a process you clearly have never experienced.
Your statement about official "politely asking you to check in some bags" gives you away immediately. That is not how international airport security works. Anyone who has actually gone through the process knows there are multiple layers of screening, each with strict security procedures that go far beyond such a simplistic description. Besides, you check in bags at the counter and hold hand luggage. You don't check in bags anywhere else.
That guy is right. 100 percent. After security, nobody searches you again except you are randomly selected and this applies to people that look and behave like criminals. Maybe you fall into that group.
You are just arguing for the sake of arguing. Everyone has told you how things work but you are only trying to save face with the endless arguments over something you know very little about. I am willing to bet you have never travelled outside Nigeria in your entire life.
Richtaiwo: Duty-free shops do not sell lighters or matches. More importantly, after the duty-free area, passengers still pass through another round of rigorous security screening, where every item, including belts, phones and other personal belongings, are placed on a tray and scanned before passengers undergo both electronic and physical checks.
At this point, I'm beginning to wonder whether you've ever boarded an international flight. Your argument suggests you're describing an airport you've only imagined.
I am a frequent traveler. And I am here to educate you.
Who told you there is another round of search after passing security in South African and other international airports? Who told you cigarettes and lighters are not allowed in SA airport? Who told you a bottle of gin bought at a duty free shop cannot be boarded with?
You are actually the one that sounds like someone that has never travelled from an international airport outside Nigeria.
GloriousGbola: There is a common belief that most drinks sold in clubs are either fake or adulterated
A friend who drinks socially basically said that on Nigerian ubs people drink whole bottle of alcohol and when they get to UK clubs they are looked at like they are crazy when they ask to do same. Because in Nigeria a 60 or 70 proof drink has been diluted to 20 proof. Drink the actual thing and you may get hospitalised for alcohol poisoning
Your friend must be a villager not to know that bottle service is offered in many UK clubs
Thank God for that guy say this na anonymous forum. With the kind anger and hunger wey dey hammer you, I can bet that you will attack that guy in real life.

xtianchris: Ever since I changed from iPhone to my Brand new Android. I have gotten peace of mind. . Africans love statuship and showmanship .. Mostly of them can't even navigate and know the features of what the iPhone can do.. As long as It has Apples logo they keep on flaunting it .. If you study Cyber security and ethical hacking...All these devices are mere Monitoring gadgets..... They know you. They know your family.. they have your pictures.. Transaction details.. Always note nothing is 🔐 Secured...
So Apple is monitoring millions of ordinary people around the world? So that they can steal from them? 🤔
Gistmedia10: In a startling revelation, a man was caught on camera repackaging UK-used iPhones as brand new to sell in Lagos. The footage, which has rapidly circulated online, has left many netizens in disbelief.
The video shows the man meticulously using a mini waterproof wrapping machine to cover the used iPhone cartons. Questions are being raised about the source of these phone cartons, leading many to speculate about the extent of this fraudulent practice.
Reactions from social media users have been swift and critical. One commenter stated, "This is how they'll repackage UK used phones and sell them at exorbitant prices." Another chimed in with shock, saying, "The day I was told that I could buy a brand new iPhone that is not actually brand new in Ikeja, I was shocked."
Adding to the discourse, a third user remarked, "I tell people that 60% of so-called new iPhones are refurbished. But what do I know?"
