₦airaland Forum

Goldmynemaniac:
If he's been doing it for years, shouldn't there be an established protocol to it already? How did he do it the previous years?

Using participation in travel section, as a criterion, should have been enough, but 10 questions...

Politicians too exploit the fact that we see nothing wrong in standing in line every 4 years to scramble for crumbs thrown to us.

At least for the politicians, we can say this for them that their motive's are clear but not same for Mr snowland.

I usually don't respond to this type of comments but I will respond to this.

There's absolutely nothing you do that will satisfy the black man. Nigerians are so insatiable and filled with entitlement mindsets. When things are going in their favor, it's free and fair but when things goes south for them, they start screaming murder.

When the criteria were to have at least 5 posts or at least 1 topic created, a number of people felt disenfranchised, saying they were regulars on Travel section but never made any post or created any topic. Then I decided to add another criterion in order to accommodate more people. What else do you want exactly? I don't get it.

This isn't the first time I'm giving out and it's not likely going to be the last because the more I give, the more I receive. And if you care to check my previous ones, I always have a theme, I dont give out aimlessly. I work my butts off and God bless my hustle, if 10 simple J.S.S 1 questions are too much of a task for anyone, in a travel section, to try their luck, then I'm sorry to say, such a person should be ready for a rude awakening. Such people should be in the Romance or Joke section.

It's funny how you could even likened me to any politician. You as a citizen, you pay the salaries of people you elect to govern you. You dont pay me. I work for my money and I can decide how, what and where I spend my money on without any form of accountability to anybody.
The politicians that you elect are accountable to you, I am not.

We need to learn to be appreciative of every little thing we receive, either easily or not. The kind of attitude that most Nigerians in Nigeria portray is the main reason why lots of people decided not to help. I have many Nigerians here that are doing way better than I am and that are equally on Nairaland. This same entitlement mentality of MOST people on this forum is what's stopping them from helping.

I'm compiling the names of the winners and I will make it available in due course. Sorry I got busy with my daily job, so I had to set this aside. Y'all going to get the names latest by Saturday and the winners credited by Sunday. I'm separating the honest ones from those that were opposite of being honest.

XshegzzyeeiX:
Snowland, I believe you will disqualify those who booked space without valid answers to your questions when it was posted.

If I did I will disqualify about 98%. I have a screen shot of what the answer looked like when the testing was over. So no worries.

LORDLARGE:
@ snowland hope you'll be on the lookout for those that are going back to edit there answers?

I took screen shots. Dont worry

Answer to the questions are BOLDED. And just so you know, screenshots were taken right after the test finished and now that the answers were given. I will cross check everything and select the deserving winners.

ENDS OF TESTING

I tire for all these people with entitlement metality. If the heat is too much for you, why not leave the kitchen and give room for those that want to eat. If what yall are expecting is to just randomly select 27 people and just give them the money, then you have no idea how I do my giveaways. Goshhh

oladeleadebayo1:
Bro God will continue to bless you as you are trying to show love and kindness to others.

Apprciated but my name here is Snowland please.

visaclick:
bro I admire you zeal to help others however think about it, if you use those rules as a criteria then it is no longer a giveaway but a lottery. I have been here since 2016 but I rarely comment I just view posts and pass mostly I don't even log in I view as visitor but I hope I qualify for this anyways coz I really need the money though.

A giveaway is a blanket term for sweepstakes, contests, and lotteries, as all three of these categories give participants a chance to win prizes. When saying something is a “giveaway,” it can refer to any of the three types listed.

seankafor:
these your conditions is becoming too strict for meagre 10k bro

God's love is unconditional.. why is yours coming with these strict conditions?

Bro yes, God's love is unconditional. However, it is the same God that said we should obey His Ten Commandments. He didn't say obey 8 of the 10 and I'm gonna cut you some slacks for the remaining 2. As Nigerians, we need to learn how to follow rules and stop cutting corners. An average Nigerian is a rule breaker but then we heap all blames on the goverments. Who are the government? Na we!.

XshegzzyeeiX:
Snowland (for Citeria Number One), don't stress yourself trying to check for 5 posts on Travel section by yourself.

All you need do is tell participants to attach screenshots of at least 5 posts made on Travel section.

For the topics, it's quite easy.

This must be the biggest giveaway this year.
Well done.

Hahaha. We are likely gonna get to that. I hope not though.

snowland


update : try to remove that qualification that make people to qualify by being active on travel section


What people need is just to comment randomly on travel section and boom it will show them as being active

Trust me I will vet all selected winners. Being active in Travel section is the least important of the requirements. Topics first, Posts second and then activeness is last. Anyone that's active but with post not older than Dec 28, 2022 will not cut it. I may not be able to catch all of them, but I will limit the frauds.

IyanuDeb:
sir look at my profile whether am qualified, you didn't specify against new accounts but also you didn't say we were allowed ,let me not have my hopes up

Yes you are. You satisfied at least one of the requirements

LORDLARGE:
It seems some are still wiser, one of the people who commented has just deleted his comment
I don't even know how he did it..
Hope you took there usernames
I have screenshots

Oh yeah I'm aware. I know you can only delete a post with the help of an Admin. The person is lucky cos I was busy with other stuff.

pocohantas:
Give me 200k,
Then N1000 to 70 people.

Lol..

LIGHTHEARTED0:
boss man even though i didn't qualified
but un your early post you claimed anyone can book space and you have no problem with it
Good luck to the few qualified, wish op really accept my pleading on your behalf, shalom

Thank you, you made a great observation. See, the problems with Nigerians is that we too dey rush. What I wanted to confirm was the saying that if you want to hide an info from a blackman, just put the info in a book. I knew majority will not read the post before starting to comment and I specifically made it BOLD and in UPPER CASE to READ THE ABOVE CAREFULLY AND ADHERE, NO ROOM FOR SECOND CHANCE.

We want to always be the first but sometimes, rushing to be the first without knowing the direction is a sure way to being the last. We no dey read at all.

I'm sorry, there's no SECOND CHANCE.

Let me make it clear. All that already commented on this thread are DISQUALIFIED, no excuse. And anyone that comments after this post before 10:27pm is DISQUALIFIED in advance.

Here is the link to the thread where the selection will take place.

READ THE THREAD CAREFULLY AND ADHERE TO THE RULES THEREIN.

If you do not see your name in the lists above, it most likely due to the fact that you went ahead and edit your answer(s) after the test has completed or you sent in your answer after the 10:40pm. I have screenshots to back this up in case anyone is in doubt.

Sulele04, Becka021, christianjoy and VillageBus, I need prove of your eligibility (screenshot of Topic, posts or your active status in the Travel section) before 4pm naija time today else your slot goes to the next qualified person with the highest score.

For the rest, do the following:
1. Send your account details (Name, Acct No and Bank) to humblegiveaway2020@gmail.com. Make sure you include your Nairaland moniker in the Subject or body of email.

2. Post only your account number on this thread so that I can compare it with the one sent to my email. But if you are comfortable with posting your full bank details online, you can ignore step one and simply post your details here.

Julianaa:
it will only show quoted posts

Yeah you are right. But that alone cuts verification efforts in half.

Miracood2:
There is actually an easy way of verifying oo.

(Just use the search bar.. type the person's moniker and select the travel section

Cause most of my travel posts are way back in time.

You are smart. That's how I intend to verify.

EmperorTolson:
My only question is how will you identify someone with at least 5 posts in travels section if travel section is not there most active section.
Will you check through there posts one by one.

Trust me, I sure will. If they have no topics and they are not showing as active, I will go through the posts. I am that detailed and petty .

Tk4all:
i have more than 5posts in travel section but no topic.

Did i qualify

Yes. Again you don't have to meet all the criteria. You only need to satisfy one.

depressedlad:
i have a thread on travel section created on 12dec. qualified?

Yes you are as long as its older than Dec 28.

yomi531:

yellowgarri2:

You only need to meet one criterion to qualify, not all the 3.

blackfish:
Please I created a topic in travel session in 2019. Please am I qualified?

Yes you are. Any post or topic that was created before Dec 27, 2022 qualifies.

Miracood2:
Must all three requirements be met?

Nope, at least one must be met. Thank you for pointing this out. I will modify the post.

NOTORIOUS100:
Greetings bro, I have a topic that on travel section that made frontpage, do I still qualify for the criteria/giveaway?

Yes you are. It does not even need to make FP.

moshood44:
