Adebayo82:
I'm new here and interested in relocating to Brazil through the study route. Could you please guide me through the process of securing an admission letter and identifying universities in Brazil that offer free tuition and scholarships?

English is the only language I currently speak; however, I am willing to learn Brazilian Portuguese after relocating, within my first year of admission. I intend to pursue an MSc degree at a university in Brazil.

I hold an HND in Mechanical Engineering and a PGD in Mechanical Engineering. I will be 45 years old in the next few months. Previously, I also obtained an MSc degree from a UK university. I don't If I need to declare that I had msc before during admissions processing.

If you are certain that you can obtain the Education Ministry authentication of your UK certificate then you can apply for a PhD in Brazil. However if you are only applying for a Master's in Brazil then you don't need to mention you have a UK masters since you will be applying with your Bachelor degree.

ComeBackKing:
Happy New Year! Thanks for the recommendation. We have began partnering with a team for that and building on the initiative; we would be glad to recommend you to the team when the time is right.

We get feedback upon completion, but we are supposed to be building this airline together in public

MrNovo:
The gbas gbos is something else on NL when it comes to money. Will be worse when you turn into a giveaway. If this was a giveaway I wont participate. People who can't keep up with competition just try to scatter it out of hate. Reason why it is said that success attracts a lot of enemies.
Isn't it funny that the same people who supported Notorious100 when he reeled out old comments (that someone can not win back to back) so that his 2nd position was now awarded my winning previously are here now suggesting that he is MrNovo.
Before this weekly competition there was an offer for people who would make contributions to this project. How many of these wailers have contributed anything? Why not direct them to apply same energy for finding out who owns which moniker into research for the project. With my contribution here via Github, I am sure you have enough data to differentiate me from Notorious.
They just want to turn the competition into a giveaway (which is what NL members like) so they start pestering to be given something. Everyone on Nairaland has more than one moniker. So if you say the 4th moniker to post instead of the 1st now wins it dosen't change anything as anyone can bring out 4 monikers and start posting. If this is going to cause much trouble (gba gbos) you can as well end it and have everyone reverse their energy into some meaningful contribution to the project which you already set a prize for.
If you keep it a strict competition (like it started, no back to back rule) there would be no noise and you will see the true monikers based on consistent participation. At least 4 different monikers have won in the past, two of which have attacked me in the past (for winning) so I can deduce they are different individuals to an extent.
While I have my convictions about Cindy's identity I wont go into that since I have no proofs. Notorious not participating left room for suspicion. I didn't participate because I was barred back to back. AeroLagos saying random selection would be new method might have resulted in a new moniker (Cindy) on the thread. Same way 4th position will soon throw in new monikers into the thread all belonging to less than 5 active participants. Is that what you want? The choice is yours!!

You can read my previous post again. Well predicted.
The thread is now busy, plenty of comments per second. But are these to the purpose of the thread? That is what you always achieve with Giveaways on Nairaland. Reason I advised that you stick to the earlier "Competition" strategy which aligns with grooming the character of individuals you would like to employ in your business.
Oya select the best "begger / appellant" to award the bounty to

We are considering making this a "lottery" going forward after the recent "gbas gbos"

Congrats. From next week we might need to review the method.

Received. Thanks sir.
Noted.

Nathansmith:
How are you doing your own calculation? He clearly said he got $9k+ after commission and expenses.

Where did you get $7k from?

Net after providing for renewal of 247 names. That's Domaining.

YESpParticipant:
Baba just rest!

Integrity (Good name) matters. Yes money is important.
My post has been restored, so what did you gain. Shame.
Thanks Mod and thanks Aerolagos. Hopefully you will help restore ethics .

YESpParticipant:
Anyone can claim to have had his post deleted.
Besides, there was no rule that allows deleted posts to be considered.
MrNovo my guy, you've won this stuff many times which makes you a real OG.
Loosing the first spot to an underdog today shouldn't worry you much because you can always come back stronger next time to try your luck bro. Cheers!

Cc: @Aerolagos

You eventually came out to support your shameful behaviour. At least you didn't pretend knowing that I won the first spot. So on what grounds was my "post deleted"?
I haven't won this challenge more times than Notorious100 (who took it 3 times back to back at the beginning) so why do you guys feel so pained each time I win.
If you want to win, do it fair and square. Not by using your alternate monikers to report the winning comment above you. So that you can then benefit. That's cheating. You should be ashamed rather than been desperate.

@Aerolagos kindly investigate this unethical behaviour

LSKD:
How my 2025 went.

Acquired 280 domains. (106 during one dot com $1.9/2 point something promo, while the remaining from Dreamhost, unstoppable and Z for $5). GEO/EMD. All hand reg.

I've probably worked on around 65% once and yet to work on 35%.

I worked on around 17 to 23 names monthly. Manual scraping and outbound.

Made 7 sales jan, 5 feb, 1 March, 3 April, May 0, June break , July 2, August 6, September 2, October 2, November 2, December 3.

Sold 33 total, all afternic lander. $369 average sale price. Sold only 2 from first email. The rest are offers which could even be at first email. While few are after price drops.

I price 988 for Geo while 1455 for EMDs. I send total of 4 to 5 emails follow up and stop at $300. I plan to do price drops to 150 or 100 when I revisit the domains for second round of outbound however I'll start from 988/1455

I counter or not to offers depending on the situation at hand.

Few tips that might help.

Utilize promos. I would have spent around $2,500 to acquire 280 names but it only cost me $1,117 or my $1,117 would have bought just around 124 domains. Good thing is that I still have domain to be busy on going to 2026.

If I see a niche, I check if there are cities or EMD available using namebright bulk searche. I Check if there are endusers. I find niche through sales reports, while scraping, or just when browsing/surfing the net or in my environment.

While scraping, you can sometimes find endusers email from their Facebook page. If no Facebook page or icon in the site, simply write "Facebook" in the front of the Business name or website in the search bar and search. It would bring out the Facebook page if there is one. Write " owner" or "leadership" if you want to find who the owner is.

Simple sales letter to control spam issues.

You can't just register 3 names and wonder why you didn't make 6 sales. Numbers is a big factor in this game. Register, work it and go to the next.

For every sale report you see, there are handful that didn't get sold.

In everything I use common sense, I evaluate options, consider pros and cons then decided what I prefer.

Everyones journey would be different because our creativity differs, information we have is different, how we assimilate and use information is different... Just do your best.

Some of my sales.

Sacramento PI $300
Criminal defense Investigation 200
Document Examination Expert 300
Forensic DNA Expert $300
Attorneys Liability Insurance 300
Medical Licensing Defense $1299
New York Court Reporting 399
Business Arbitrations $650
California Fiduciary Service $400
Antique Rug Repairs $150
Patent Brokering $275
NC Real Estate Lawyers $988
Digital forensic agency $500
California organizing $200

It wasn't easy.

Happy for you. At the end you had a net profit of >$7k for a years work. I can imagine the work. Definitely 2026 will be better. Wishing you the best.

segaloo:
when did you became the first commenter? U can't manipulate this

See the red highlight. Whose comment is hidden there? Of course you know the silly game you are trying to play. Reason why you attempted to link me with Notorious100

segaloo:
you lied Go and sit down

You are seeking attention besides being a bad loser.
What exactly did I lie about? That I am the first to comment or that my comment is now hidden? Maybe due to bad losers like you reporting it

nurey:
Everybody wan live for city, this same keke nah hot cake for village, i know a guy that makes 20k within 3hrs from 4am to 7am just hauling farm produce to market.

I always pray everyday that i left Lagos for village because what i have achieved in village, i cannot achieve one tenth of it if i was still in Lagos.

What you have said boils down to the same "working smart". Owning a Keke is not enough. You need to have a plan on how to utilise it.

@Aerolagos good morning sir. Why isn't comment hidden? I was the first to comment.

I thank God who has brought us this far in 2025. Also a big thank you to the team at Aircacao. I pray that God will strengthen your vision and see us through to a successful lunch and operations in 2026. Happy and prosperous 2026 to us all. God be praised!

Dear domainer,

IMPORTANT NOTICE (kindly read to the end)

PROPOSITION: Domain Co-ownership

It is now a fact that domain business is a number game. In other words, the size of your portfolio largely determines, at the end of the day, the rate of domain sales you will be getting on a regular basis provided you've got good names.

For this reason, I want to propose a domain group of not more than 10 people who will contribute—equally—together to co-own domains.

How do I mean?

If you have 10 Dolls, as an instance, at 5 Dolls, domain pr0m0 rate, you will only be able to get 2 domains. But in a group of 10 people with 10 Dolls each will co-own 20 domains in an instant.

Intuitively, as a member of the group, in just a little time, you will be the proud owner of 20 domains with just your 10 Dolls that can only get 2 domains.

That also shows that if the group now has 6,240 domains (as projected by me for 5 years based on atleast 1 domain sale per month at 25% broughtback from each member profit shared), it equally means you own 6,240 domains, too, which would have literally cost 46.6M if any one person tries to own such portfolio.

Notably, this proposition DRASTICALLY reduces the burden of renewal cost, as renewal cost is being equally shared by the group.

Of course, chances of getting domain sales increases as the group portfolio increases on a monthly basis. However, PROFIT is shared between the 10 members of the group.

IN A NUTSHELL...

👉If the group owns 1,000 domains, 10% of it (100 domains) will be in each members Afternic account to mitigate risk of co-ownership palava.

👉Once a sale comes in, the member with the domain receives the fund and share it equally after marketplace commission.
📌2k (minimum pricing of group domain) will be shared 200 Dolls each.
📌5k will be shared 500 Dolls each and so on.

👉Of Course, each member can own his own personal domains separately.

👉Any or all members of the group can share any domain sale from the group in any platform provided the person states that the sale is co-owned by him and some group members.

👉Each member is mandated to register 3 domains on a monthly basis for the group, either the registration is done at once or at different timing within the space of 30 days.

👉Each domain to be registered in the group by any member MUST be scrutinized and accepted by the group before the registration is done.

👉Group name is Joint Domain Partnership (JDP).

👉 JDP will only focus on INBOUND DOMAINS, which can be BRANDABLE or EMD domains only.

Note, once 10 people show up, the group closes FOREVER.

Kindly let me know if you want to be part of JDP.

Membership count has started already.

Count me in

Bluetooth, how will you reconcile account without internet

It's possible to allow one withdraw a percentage of the balance on his account and later reconcile it once network is reinstalled. And similar for the receiving account.

aerolagos:
Congrats

Confirmed. Thank you sir. Well appreciated. More Grace to you and the team

Its a new week, looking forward to more update. And a blessed week to us.

Greenscientist:
Here, twitter, Namepros, AbdulBasit//, TonyNames e.t.c.

I don't know what you mean by bloated portfolio but even if you only pick "good names", you still need the Numbers.

Making a sale(s) from a portfolio of 50 is simply a mercy from God supported through rigorous outbound messages.

If you want to sit and enjoy domaining, you need numbers.

I agree. But whatever strategies that allows you to make sales with a small portfolio is better than having to maintain 1000 or more names. Bottom line is quality of names at the end. Even very large portfolio owners still complain of sales drought.

Greenscientist:
50.

I have types of names I pick based on past sales data. When a name conform to that standard, I make sure there are end-users to outbound too as well.

I prefer quick sales but at the same time, if you don't buy, I make sure I pick a name that will ultimately get sold(based on my little knowledge) when given time.

Nice portfolio size.Not bloated
Past sales data is it from a particular site or various discussion platforms

InsightByOlamid:
Part 2 is loading…

Just say:
👉 “Go ahead”

And I’ll drop Part 2 immediately.

"choose a path that matches your energy, your schedule, and your level." -this is the secret of turning your work/hustle into a hobby/play

In fact you don't need to"Go ahead " you have said it all

Greenscientist:
Alhamdulilah

ED picked on Dec 2. Outbounded for $1000. I received 550 offer and I countered with $750. I only ended up selling for $700 due to afternic nonsense money addition.

Name still under lock, that's why it is covered. Money not yet received and name was sold through custom link (only 5% commission)
Congrats. How many names you got now

Keep buying(only "good" names) even if it is just a name a month. Have others hustle but don't EVER leave domaining.

Cheers to my first domain (#)Million.

Congratulations, wishing you more sales.
What's your portfolio size

grandstar:
I want to list some of the domains I have on Atom on other marketplaces.

Can someone send me their terms and conditions for doing so? I have forgotten where to find it.

One of the domain names is a premium.

I don't want to go against the terms and conditions.

The only terms and conditions you must maintain with atom is that you don't change the nameserver for the atom premium names. For the standard or ultra names you can use nameserver for other marketplaces

grandstar:
I asked Google if a company makes 10m profit in 2026, how much tax would I pay, and it gave me the response below:

Under the new Nigerian tax laws effective from 2026, a company with a profit of ₦10 million will be considered a small business and will not pay any Companies Income Tax (CIT).

For the 2026 year of assessment, your company's tax obligations will be as follows:

Companies Income Tax (CIT): ₦0

Small companies are defined as those with an annual gross turnover of ₦100 million or less and total fixed assets not exceeding ₦250 million.


Therefore, It now time to divide your business from your person. Register a limited liability company today, and with both corporate accounts and corporate dormicillary bank accounts for it..

It must be a limited liability company. A Business Name company will be treated as your person.

Thanks for sharing. From your analysis it's only after earning over $67,000 in naira by today's N1500 rate that I would be tax liable as a corporate entity.
Do you have any idea if Grey will accept to transfer to a corporate account instead of personal account bearing my name?

aerolagos:
Congrats

Thanks sir. God bless you

Our founding team has expanded once again. We now have an additional experienced member; our Chief of Quality and Safety.

The course is set. Congrats to you and the emerging Aircacao team.

Looking forward to more progress as we enter into December. Blessed week to us

Potvalor:
Isn't the answer to your question quite obvious?
Well, it is US-based Lottery services/National Prize catalog for first combo and HVAC/Mechanical services for the other.

He was trying to point you to the basic strategy for deciding/picking names. First identifying adequacy of endusers/ use cases as he suggested.
From your response you need to calm down to receive mentorship which is crucial. Lastly HVAC is an Electrical service not even electronic talkless of been related to mechanical.
His comment wasn't to say your name can't sell (maybe you are working on a buy request) but trying to help you eliminate the guess work which most of us domainers still operate on.

grandstar:
Please check the response from iykepromotions to my post.

Yeah, seen.
Thanks

The Book That’s Making Foreign Tourists Ask Questions About The Gambia — Written By a Nigerian.

It’s called “MY EXPERIENCES IN THE GAMBIA” —

It’s NOT a travel guide at all.
It’s a cinematic, emotional, mysterious journey through the country — street life, food challenges, culture, romance, danger, survival… and the author narrates everything with such intensity that many readers actually thought he lived in The Gambia.

A book written by some who has never lived in the Gambia you say. Who accurate will the story be?
