Glimpsetv: A video of a Nigerian immigration officer has sparked widespread discussion, with many condemning his actions as he is seen begging for money from a tourist.
The immigration officer, who seemed either unaware that he was being recorded or simply didn't care, was captured on camera persistently following the tourist and demanding something from him. The incident has led to further revelations on social media, of being asked for money or bribes by staff at Nigerian airports.
Now, watch the short video and let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
Odewaleadesoye: Afrobeats star Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has opened up about how the death of his dad affected his childhood.
The ‘Calm Down’ crooner said the death of his father left him the responsibility of catering for his family at a young age and in the process, he was “forced to sell” his childhood.
In a candid chat with GRM, Rema, 24, said he wants to “feel young again.”
He said he recently started smoking cigarettes in a bid to feel “free and break some rules again.”
Rema lamented that despite being an adult before deciding to smoke, people still criticise his decision because he’s a celebrity.
40yroldman: My stories are true, nobody pays me to write on this forum. I am only sharing here because I'll remain anonymous. For the sake of the respect I have for her, I don't think it will be wise for me to reveal her illness here. She might see it or someone close to her might. I just feel that getting married to her will bring her happiness for the remaining days of her life if she doesn't make at the end. I don't really care what people will tag me when she's gone. At 40 years, I've met girls and none is to be compared with her. I just wish she can live 😩
Out of the more than 250 million Nigerians, is she the only female with that illness that she would be able to pinpoint it here on Nairaland if you reveal it?
Guy, at 40 years old that you said you are, don't you know what to do when you're faced with real life situations?
Stop whining, most of your mates already have kids that are teenagers. Here you're wailing over a sinking ship.
If this story is really true and not fabricated as usual, you would soon hit depression.
LegendHero: FG have started disbursing the student loan which they pay directly to the university. In addition to that, students are receiving 20k monthly for the upkeep money.
Many student have taken to Twitter to share screenshots of the alert they received and the NELFUND official Twitter page is now bubbling with events.
The fund is not available to all universities yet as it was disbursed to six university with the required approval and those starting their session.
Confused government: You're yet to finish paying NPOWER, GRANTS and CCT their outstanding balances, and you now rush into STUDENT'S LOANS.
Very soon, the government would halt the payment of this student's loans in batch 3.
The worst part of this, is that the student loan is $13 (N20,000) which would be paid in epileptic batches. What are full grown adults (undergraduates) going to do with that peanuts? To drink garri or recharge their phones in this over inflated economy?
Nigerian government hates continuity of good programs - starting what they can never finish, just to gain cheap popularity, and pocket the rest.
It has been another wonderful last month with Afternic with plenty of sales pouring in especially in the second half of July.
Before I share the sales, I wanted to share a couple of things with everyone:
It was special to give an interview to Afternic, thanks to James Iles. Once I reach 10,000 domains under my portfolio, I’ll stop sharing the monthly experience of Afternic. The main reason for sharing is always to educate fellow investors about what kind of domains I buy, sell and at what prices. This doesn’t mean I’ll completely stop sharing the domain sales. I’ll definitely continue to share but only those which I find interesting and there is something to learn from.
Coming back to the sales for the last month:
Mayorov/com – Normally I buy U.S people’s names which are relatively easier to sell than others. This is a Russian surname and sold via BIN for $4,888. Hold time 5 years.
StarGourmet/com – Hold time around 5 years and sold it for $1,988 via BIN.
AvalancheServices/com – A two word brandable domain which can be used for any services related business. A nice deal for the buyer who got it for $2,988 via BIN.
AcRepairNearMe/com – Thanks to Logan Flatt for sharing his sales with the “Near Me” keyword. I studied his sales and point of view on why to buy such domains and why they sell it. That’s the beauty of our industry where such fellow investors like Logan and others share it openly.
This domain had a BIN of $4,888 but after going back and forth negotiations with the buyer, I ended up selling it for $4,000. Hold time less than a year.
PetsPrint/com or PetSprint/com (however you read it) – Another BIN sales for $2,988 and interesting thing about this domain is that one can use it for “Pets Print” or “Pet Sprint” and in this case, the buyer is using as Pet Sprint brand. Hold time 4 years.
LegacyGuild/com – Another $1,988 BIN sale and acquired it 2 years ago via GoDaddy closeouts.
Dogerie/com – This had a BIN of $1,988 but after negotiations, the broker was able to strike the deal for $1,750.
VodkaVodka/com – Another $1,988 BIN sale with the hold time of 4 years.
AmplifySuccess/com – Sold it for $2,988 with a holding period of around 1 year.
HelloHolidays/com – Last month I sold HelloGrowth/com for $9,888 and this month I sold HelloHolidays/com for $5,888. Holding time less than 100 days. Thanks to Umair brother for finding this gem and sharing it with me.
Dutts/com – This had a BIN of $3,988 and the buyer initially came via DomainAgents.com with an opening offer of $1,500 which I declined. I proposed with the BIN price which the buyer declined and came back with a revised offer of $2,000. I declined it again and the buyer presented $2,500 and then $3,000. I said to take it or leave it with $3,988 and the buyer pulled the trigger via GoDaddy search path and bought it at BIN price.
Kicks/CO – Like I always say, I love to invest in .CO domains. Whether it be 1 word or 3L. They do pretty well and I’ve a great STR in selling them at decent prices. This one was another BIN sale at $6,888 with holding time of around 6 years.
SunTravels/com – This had a long story where the buyer came in and vanished countless times before buying it for $20,000. This includes a lot of negotiations with the broker. This domain was priced at $29,888. Hold time around 6 years. I know that usually I provide a discount of 10%-15% but in rare cases, I do offer more than that depending on several factors.
Humanable/com – A great brandable domain which has already been in use right now. This domain sold for $9,888 via BIN. Hold time around 1 year.
TeachShare/com – This one had a BIN of $4,888 and I revised my floor price to $4,500 which the buyer accepted. This one hold time was around 4 years.
FamilyChat/com – Acquired privately for mid-high 3 figures and sold it for $8,000. This one had a BIN of $9,888. Hold time more than 3 years.
DynamicGraphics/com – This one had a longer hold time of 6 years and was acquired via SnapNames. Another $2,988 BIN sale.
There were a total of 17 sales and 3 of them sold for $1,988 each which is not usual. Normally there is a good chunk of $1,988 sales.
The number of inquiries for July 2024 just touched 1,600 which is more than the last few months. This was the second best month of this year in terms of number of leads after January. The total number of domains at the end of July 2024 were a touch over 9,800.
3 were partner registrar sales. 8 sales via GoDaddy search path. 6 sales via Afternic lander.
Total acquisition + holding costs (which includes transfers and renewals) was around $4,500 and the total amount of sales was $87,706.
I wanted to thank my Afternic rep Adam Ramsdell and the brokers who were involved in making the deals smoothly and professionally.
The above costs and sales amount may look out of the world for some investors but there is one important thing to keep in mind that I’ve invested in 7 figures (USD) for acquiring and holding those 9,800+ domains. Also just the renewal cost is over $100,000 annually. So there are a lot of expenses and money is invested. But overall, I’m in profit and happy with the progress.
I wish everyone a great month ahead and have a lot of sales. Feel free to share your sales and give your feedback on mine if you like to. It doesn’t matter how good or good the feedback is. Copied.
Massive sales...Only one of those sales would have put smile on my face.
40yroldman: According to the doctors, in a few months, the illness she has battled with since birth will take her life. Though she’s trusting God for a miracle, she has come to accept her fate and is getting ready for the inevitable. She wishes for us to marry before she passes, she has more faith in her demise than in her recovery.....the pain becomes unbearable for her sometimes 💔
She asked if I’d remarry after she’s gone and I told her I wouldn’t. Should I marry her now or wait until after her death before contemplating marriage?😭😭😭
Guy,
Is this story true or just for traffic as usual?
Anyways, your statement is contradictory about the marriage aspect.
What type of childhood illness does she has that's about to consume her right now? Epilepsy, cancer, sickle cell or what?
Best bet is to wish her well in the afterlife and move on.
Don't marry her, as she's gonna pass soon and be tagged a widower.
There's no time to be depressed or else, you would be consumed in a space of months.
englishmart: I met her in a cab as I was returning from Ikeja. I managed to get her phone number before sha alighted. I waited till over 6 hours before contacting her. I had to play along for a while before I did the needful.
Guy,
NUMBER 1 POINT
You were able to meet Nife while you were going to your destination, and she finally gave you her number after you prompted her.
Assuming, she ignored your request by not giving you her number, you would definitely be among the hundreds and thousands of Nigerian men that would be saying Nigerian girls are hard to get.
NUMBER 2 POINT
You sent her a WhatsApp text that you wanna connect with her, and probably smash her, and she agreed but gave you an equal request of N1700 - N1800 TP to come closer to your location which is not even up to anything.
Why not try her by sending the TP, and see if she would bail out or follow the transaction. You're now the one who chickened out because of that tiny TP. This shows that you were never serious from the onset. Assuming, you sent her the TP, and she's avoiding you, then we would know that she's a scam.
NUMBER 3 POINT
Stop forming alaye as if you've won a lottery or award from this your childish and immature behavior. Infact, you are the one who lost out here, and made the real brotherhood disappointed.
You proved to everybody that you're cashless and don't even have the needed effrontery to follow a transaction to a logical conclusion.
Before you start throwing tantrums at me relating to your financial prowess, don't forget that you later sent your account details to one of the Nairalanders here who later credited you with N1k after much persuasions, and you're still raising your shoulders with pride.
Nomerci: Pray for your parents foo l. Ive already passed that stage of begging,at 15k a day.na fool,u need no help baztad scammer.ole
Small boy like you. I'm old enough to be your father. I believe you've an eye problem. Did you even check the topic? The Op decided to help some people voluntarily, and people signified their interest to the post, including me. So, why are you pained? If you don't need help, why don't you get the hell out of the thread? You're feeling like Elon Musk, whereas you're just another church rat that have been ignored. Guy, you're depressed. Go and commit suicide.
Sonofgod1990: good day friends. i am out of d country currently now. so about dis hardship raveging our country home i will love to help some persons..pls if you knw that you have less than 2k in your account make you drop ur acct number.. first 10 people...anything u see make u manage it pending when d protest will end
Where I'm from in Rivers state, we don't protest — we're too violent for protect. We go into riot straight and destroy.
I'm going to type fast and I won't proofread, so ignore typos.
As a kid, around 2004 or thereabout, we have this oil company called Elf, later changed to Total, in my place. Everyday, they were drilling millions of Dollar out of our community.
Yes, they pay the entire community's NEPA bill, but sometimes, NEPA gives us low voltage and our fluorescent will keep blinking.
Our elders peacefully met Total and told them we don't want NEPA, but our independent gas turbine, two for that matter, but guess what? Total was taking them for granted because it was a peaceful meeting/protest.
One day, the youth got upset, equipped themselves with charms and weapon and they went there for a riot, not a peaceful protest. The plan was to burn down the oil company and send them out.
The riot escalated and the destruction started. The military were shooting, but men didn't retreat. They shut down their production.
The destruction and looting of expensive equipment was massive. Total begged and called for MoU and agreed to build the turbines.
Today, more than a decade, my entire local government has constant light and we don't pay a dime. It took violence for our dream to be achieved.
Most of you have heard of the violence in Rivers state since 2015. Guess where it started? My community — before it expanded to other places. Every bad thing or good thing in Rivers state always start there.
Why did that violence start? Total pays the community millions every month for development, but there is this man in charge, put there by the elders, to handle the money aspect.
Sadly, we had a land case with another family because oil was discovered in that land. An elderly man died but they accused our family of being the killer and it went to court, but we weren't.
This man in charge of the millions connived with the lawyers and didn't want the case to end. They were milking the family dry with close to zero development. When I say family, I'm not referring to my surname alone, but the entire "umu+general name" as we call it.
One cult boy from the family, who's the oga of Don Wani, from another community, took it upon himself and unalived the embezzler.
I was at home the day he was killed and I heard the gunshots. They came in military uniform. Anyway, that is a long story. He's late now and his boy, Don Wani, is also late.
Violence is bad, but it's the only thing that makes a corrupt Nigerian in power become scared of stealing public fund.
The next person that took over that embezzler's position is transparent now because he's scared of being visited by bad boys if he misappropriates the money.
Corrupt people can be transparent if they know the repercussion is death of themselves or their loved ones.
Total, on the other hand, is afraid of taking light because bad boys might steal transformers and armoured cable and they must replace or repair it FAST before boys will enter street and start a riot — they know what boys are capable of even in the presence of well-equipped military men.
A year or two after Total built those turbines, AGIP was sent a letter to build too and without hesitation, MoU was written and they did. They used what happened to Total as a lesson.
Where am I driving at with this story?
1. Bad boys do fight for people's freedom too until they begin to feel untouchable and start committing crimes that don't favour the community.
2. When a Nigerian is in power and everyone is submissive, he becomes abusive, authoritative and feels untouchable. This is when the people will suffer because he knows everyone is toothless. This is why we need bad boys who are fearless and ready to risk their lives to save the community from corrupt tyrants.
3. Until our politicians become scared of death or are put in a position where they narrowly escaped death from angry youths, they'll NEVER change. Those who have experienced near death experience always realize life is not all about being richer than everyone and stealing from our common wealth.
These people realize life is more important and anything. Our Nigerian politicians have not been put in this position, so they'll keep being corrupt. The bad boys that are supposed to put fear of death in them have become their boys because of money.
Money, is truly the root of all evil. The reason Nigerians and Nigerian politicians are corrupt is because of money and our bad boys who are supposed to put fear in them have been bought over. So, e go tay before Naija for beta.
Peaceful protest can't solve Nigeria's problem. I learned this from experience from childhood. If not for violence, my community wouldn't have free light, free education, abroad schools, free water, etc. RIP to those that died for this to be achieved.
So, for Nigeria to be great, there must be bad boys who have good intentions for progress of the nation and politicians must fear them based on their past records.
Unfortunately, all our bad boys with good intentions, Asari, Tompolo, Ateke, etc. have been bought by politicians and now, they have become selfish and dropped the struggle. Money is more than the root of evil, but destruction of a society.
With the above, I want to tell you that I won't participate in any peaceful protest. I'm lying on my bed while it rains as I trade crypto. I don't want peace. It never works.
Where I'm from, we only partake in violent riots. After the bloodshed, comes the change and revolution.
It's better to be feared than to be respected. Fear brings CHANGES while respect bring ADULATION.
In Nigeria, we want change, not adulation.
To those of you going for the peaceful protest, I wish you the best. Just know that whatever changes the government makes because if this peaceful protest, it will be reverted in a year so that you'll come back for another protest because they make money allocating funds for anti-protest protest.
Do you know how many billions or millions some politicians have made from this anti-protest protest?
I don't advocate violence, but it's what my community used to achieve what the youths of today now enjoys in my entire local government. If not for violence, the Niger Delta won't be paid 13%.
Corrupt people see peaceful people as fools they can easily manipulate. Have you ever wondered why women always sleep, date, or marry ugly bad boys? They don't want peace — it's boring. Kenya will achieve more after their protest than Nigeria.
So, make I just lie down for this bed, under this rain, dey make my money in peace. I have started longing BTC from 64k and I'm currently in profit. Peaceful protest? Count me out.
Matthew 11:12
“From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force."
Guy,
Your analysis is flawless. I told my colleagues yesterday that violence protest brings result. Thank God for your community now.
oritameta: At first I thought it was a joke because of how it started. I needed to pay for something urgently and my card chose the wrong day to stop working. She had 50k with her. Which was from the 100K I had given her just before we left my place. The following week, she said she needed 100k and I sent her 150K. So, I was shocked when she sent this video to me.
I replied with lol and she called to tell me she was dead serious. I reminded her that I sent 150k to her the following week. She said I should have been very clear about what the extra 50k was for.
50k isn't a big deal but her entitlement is pissing me off. Is it wrong to take care of one's woman?
I didn't click the link but why not send your mom or siblings cash than a kpekus that would never regard you, and another man would be smashing her?

Lokonga: This looks an easy bet Thinking of slamming 1M on this shii @Eseka12 what do you think
Lokonga,
Stake the 1metre on Yamal to win that category because he's already in the finals...There's no other best young player like him in the competition at the moment.
NO FEAR!!!!!!!
It's free money, that's why the odd is very low.
Nobody would love to stake on this because of the low odd and lack of big funds to invest on it.
Congratulations in advance.
N180,000k profit already in your pocket that's if you're really serious.
Even though you put your 1 metre in a fixed deposit, it won't generate that profit in one year.
