Yesterday, I saw a winner from Nigeria called Courage Idehen. I decided to check whether he has claimed his prize so that I can contact him if he has not, because every winner must claim his prize within 72 hours or forfeit the prize. I was surprised to discover that Courage Idehen had already claimed his prize. I dont know Courage Idehen, but something tells me he came across this thread and signed up. The interesting thing is that he signed up on February 29, 2016 and he registered for the available draws for FREE and the next day March 1, 2016 he was selected as a winner.

Another Nigerian Amos Oluwole also won a prize on February 24, 2016. I know Amos Oluwole and I told him about this unique opportunity about living in Nigeria and being able to win prizes from lottery draws in the United States and Europe he signed up and today his name is on the winners list.

Click "Latest Winners" on our website and you would see the names of these Nigerian winners. The next Nigerian winner could be you. You dont need to spend money, all you need to have is internet data. Dont spend money, spend megabytes!!!!!

The tens of thousands of people around the world who log into our websites to register for lottery draws would have observed that for the past three weeks we have only been buying lottery tickets for the Powerball and Megamillions draws in the United States. We were not buying other tickets because their jackpots are not BIG. Our aim is to buy lottery tickets of any lottery in the world that has a huge jackpot. Well the jackpot of the famous Superenalotto of Italy just exceeded 50 million Euros so we just had to buy the ticket for you all. The jackpot is actually 50.7 million Euros.

Remember you can be living in Nigeria and win a lottery prize in Italy. #WinFromAnywhere.

The topic of this thread should be "Buhari insists on NOT devaluing the naira". I guess the op made a mistake.

I always find it exciting playing lottery games when the jackpots exceed $100 million.

United States Mega Millions, $114 million, Draw Date, Tuesday, February 23, 2016

United States Powerball, $236 million, Draw Date, Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Hold on a minute, do you actually mean it that you have not registered for these two draws?

When ever you are doing something, it is always important to start early. Its nice to get in on the ground floor. People who come in later after you succeed or after you become a household name would find it difficult to keep up with you.

Linda Ikeji was blogging for years, when she was earning little or nothing from blogging in her first few years of blogging many people did not see blogging as a profession that could be ventured into. But when news stories emerged that Linda Ikeji had purchased a mansion in Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos for 500 million naira, suddenly blogging became the in thing, there were reports that over 10,000 new blogs were opened in Nigeria a week after the story of the purchase of the house. Why did these new bloggers have to wait for Linda Ikeji to buy a house in Banana Island before they started blogging?

Olajumoke Orisaguna, the lady whose life changed overnight from a bread seller to a model sold bread in Lagos for 6 months in 2011. She returned to Osun State to learn hair dressing and when things became difficult for her she decided to return to Lagos to sell bread again in January 2016 and in February 2016 her life changed. There are reports that some women have started selling bread hoping their life would also change. Why cant they sell bread because they have to earn money? Why do they have to wait for Olajumoke Orisaguna to hit it big before they remember that they can sell bread?

In the same vein, some Nigerians living in Nigeria and some living abroad and some foreigners have been diligently registering for free for "We play, you win" on our website. But the moment someone in Nigeria wins maybe $500,000 or $1 million and we get free international media coverage, tens of thousands of Nigerians especially those who currently play Baba Ijebu, bet9ja, surebet etc would rush to our website to signup and register for free. Why wait till someone in Nigeria wins $500,000 or $1 million and brings the money to Nigeria?

The Megamillions jackpot for tomorrow February 19, 2016 is now at $104 million. The Powerball jackpot for February 20, 2016 is now at $212 million. Dont you think it is right for you to register for free on our website now, rather than be among the tens of thousands that would signup and register later?

Previously one had to be living in a country to participate in lottery draws conducted in that country. But the internet has now made it possible for lottery players to live in one country and buy lottery tickets in another country. The internet has also made it possible to live in one country and win a lottery jackpot in another country. Recently a lottery player in Iraq won $6.4 million in Oregon, United States. The story was covered by news websites around the world, here are two examples of the news coverage

There are two lottery draws coming up in the United States; the Megamillions jackpot of $94 million tomorrow, February 16, 2016 and the Powerball jackpot of $189 million on Wednesday, February 17, 2016. If you have not signed up, visit our website signup and register for free for "We play, you win". We have already bought the tickets for these two draws all you have to do is to register for free on our website.

If it is possible for someone in Iraq to win a lottery in the United States it is also possible for someone in Nigeria to win a lottery in the United States or in any other country.

malton:
Earlier this week, in the course of answering a question in an interview in London with British newspaper The Telegraph, Nigeria’s president Muhammadu Buhari gave an insight into his thinking that promptly kicked off a firestorm on Nigerian social media.

Here’s the relevant section of that wide-ranging interview:

A number of Nigerians use the migrant routes to come to the UK to claim asylum, saying their lives are at risk from Boko Haram. Is is legitimate for them to do so?

“Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but then again some Nigerians have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in different prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking. I don’t think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home. Their services are required to rebuild the country. If their countrymen misbehaved, the best thing for them is to stay at home and encourage the credibility of the nation.”

Do you think that Nigerians have an image problem abroad?

“Certainly. But we are on our way to salvage that. We will encourage our countrymen to stay at home, work hard and make a respectable living at home.”

The comments were translated by some Nigerians on social media and in the press as Buhari having called Nigerians “criminals”, which as the transcript shows, he did not.

But what he did say when asked about Nigerians using the Boko Haram crisis as cover to claim asylum in the UK, revealed a lot about his thought process. For one thing, he did not actually answer the question he was asked. This is the working definition of a gaffe—saying what you actually think as a politician.

The $21 billion sent home by Nigerians abroad in 2015 far exceeds the $15 billion the government expects from oil revenue in 2016. The journalist’s question was about the current situation with Boko Haram. That is, are things bad enough in Nigeria’s north east to warrant anyone making the dangerous trek to Europe via the Sahara desert? Whatever you think about the question, you will have to agree that millions of Nigerians have been internally displaced as a result of Boko Haram and continue to live in camps around the country. Various newspaper reports (paywall) about the migrants heading to Europe have also revealed Nigerians make up a significant number of those making the crossing.

For the most part, these are desperate people, who have decided to take their chances on a treacherous journey even with the odds stacked against them, than tough it out back home. For a president battling a terrorist group that’s ready to die for their questionable cause, there is no shame in admitting that. While gains have been made against Boko Haram in the last eight months, life is not yet back to normal for people who have been on the receiving end of terror for the best part of the last decade.

Rather than answer this question, the president launched into a somewhat bizarre segue about the well-worn image problems of Nigerians abroad. Certainly, by including the United States in his answer, he either did not hear the question correctly or he was eager to get this particular point off his chest.

To be fair, this is common among Nigerian politicians when they come visiting London. Back in 2011, I attended an event for Nigerians in London with the then Lagos state governor, Babatunde Fashola as the speaking guest. Someone asked him a question about tapping into the talent pool of Nigerians in the diaspora. Just like Buhari, he launched into a rant on not needing to beg any Nigerian to return home. It was as if to say it should be obvious to them that Nigeria is a glorious place for them to return. That was my cue to leave.

President Buhari’s comments follow in a long tradition of a certain tension between some Nigerians at home and Nigerians in the diaspora.

The Single Story of Nigerians Abroad

It is certainly true that Nigerians have an image problem abroad. In the 1980s, after then prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s ‘Big Bang’ reforms widened access to finance for the British population, fraud spiked. As financial institutions tried to get a handle of what was going on, Nigerians, in particular, were targeted because it was believed fraud was widespread enough among the community it was safer for the banks to blacklist all of them. Even till now there are still stories of Nigerians running scams to defraud pensioners or scamming people on a dating website.

President Buhari almost seems to have some kind of disdain for Nigerians who leave the country to seek a better life elsewhere.
Whether or not the image problems Nigerians have abroad is justified, there is certainly evidence to back it up if that’s the ‘single story‘ you’re looking to tell.

But if you leave the argument at that point, like president Buhari clearly did, you will miss the most important part of the story of what’s going on with Nigerians abroad and the UK in particular. The president almost seems to have some kind of disdain for Nigerians who leave the country to seek a better life elsewhere. His comments suggest that he views them as shirkers who have abandoned the task—with apologies to Donald Trump—of making Nigeria great again.

He is spectacularly wrong.

New beginnings

Nigerians have been migrating to the UK for at least five decades mostly as students and as economic migrants. Many of these people were forced to remain in the shadows in the UK doing odd jobs. But over the years that fixed image has changed gradually both with long-term residents and more recent migrants in the last couple of decades.

Take for example of the wave of 2002 migration. The UK launched the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme visa. The visa, crucially, allowed you to live and work in the UK without being tied to a particular employer. It also offered a very straightforward path to citizenship with about seven years. The programme attracted a lot of professional Nigerians out of Nigeria—the more work experience you had in Nigeria before applying, the higher your chances of qualifying.

Once in the UK, to have the visa renewed, you then had to demonstrate earnings at a certain level as well as various other things like additional degrees or professional qualifications. The HSMP visa was a massive boon to Nigerians and they grabbed it with both hands. People left good jobs in banks and oil companies in Nigeria and moved to the UK. After finding their feet for a couple of years, they began climbing up the income ladder.

These were by no means lazy shirkers; they were hard working people who responded very well to their talents being recognized and rewarded in a new environment.

Follow The Money

If you take the World Bank figures for remittances to Nigeria as a proxy, you can see this playing out. According to the World Bank, the pattern of remittances to Nigeria from the diaspora can in the last 15 years is shown below.


To be clear, not all of this can be attributed to Britain (After 1995, Nigeria became eligible for the US Visa Lottery programme and it had a similar effect to the UK’s HSMP) and it is possible that the World Bank was previously undercounting. But what happened from 2004 was nothing short of spectacular. The highly educated Nigerians who left Nigeria in the early 2000s had begun to find their feet abroad and started sending money back home.

The estimated $21 billion sent home by Nigerians abroad in 2015 is far more than the $15 billion the Nigerian government hopes to earn from oil sales in 2016. At a time when Nigeria is desperate for every dollar it can lay its hands on, remittances are a lifeline for the economy.

This is the part of the story president Buhari has clearly missed. There are still plenty of Nigerians abroad up to no good. There are also plenty of Nigerians in prisons all across the world. But you don’t get $21 billion remitted back home from prisons around the world. You get it from people who earn a decent living abroad and have the disposable income to remit home.

It is disappointing and frustrating to see that Buhari’s views of Nigerians abroad is of the same vintage as his economic ideas.
Far from doing damage to the image of Nigeria, they are quietly repairing years of damage by showing Nigerians can integrate into an orderly society and earn an honest living. It is almost as if Nigerians abroad only exist in extreme characterizations. They are either fraudsters and hustlers or they’re super wealthy arrivistes featured in Tatler and Daily Mail spending money like it’s going out of fashion.

But in between those extremes lie a quiet class of Nigerians who, to borrow a British phrase, just get on with it. You’ll find them working in every bank in the UK just as they also form an integral part of the National Health Service (NHS).

Much of President Buhari’s thinking on the economy, and the naira in particular, betrays a man whose views were formed before the Berlin Wall fell down. It is disappointing and frustrating to see that his views of Nigerians abroad is of the same vintage as his economic ideas.

Do keep up, Mr President.

Feyi Fawehinmi moved to the UK in 2004. And every month, without fail, he sends some money home to Nigeria.

http://qz.com/615040/nigerias-buhari-needs-to-avoid-telling-the-single-story-about-nigerians-abroad/

I agree there are hard working Nigerians abroad who do not engage in crime, I also know there are Nigerians living abroad that engage in crime. This is the part of Feyi's post I disagree with.

"But you don’t get $21 billion remitted back home from prisons around the world. You get it from people who earn a decent living abroad and have the disposable income to remit home."


I disagree with it because it tends to give the impression that the $21 billion remitted to Nigeria in 2015 is entirely money from legal activities by Nigerians living abroad. This is not true. Nigerians engaging in fraud, drug trafficking and other crimes around the world also send the money they make from their nefarious activities to Nigeria and this money is part of the $21 billion that was remitted to Nigeria. There are several Daily Mail stories of Nigerians living in the United Kingdom that were arrested for fraud and some of them had already sent some of the proceeds of their crime to Nigeria.

Who said Nigerians can not participate in lottery draws in the United States?

Who said Nigerians cannot win and have the money sent to them in Nigeria?

There are two huge jackpots in the United States within the next two days; the Megamillions draw is on February 12, 2016 while the Powerball draw is on February 13, 2016.

The Megamillions jackpot is currently has $87 million up for grabs while Powerball currently has $176 million up for grabs.

Would it not be nice if these millions of US Dollars enter Nigeria and help to increase the supply of foreign exchange in Nigeria?

With a sincere gratitude to the blessed 'TRINITY' i wish to share my testimony that my package was delivered to me today with my visa. The journey started last winter, though i missed out on getting an offer from Siegen (i applied late and was bitter, never knew God has a bigger plan). I got back to the drawing board with words of encouragement from beautiful people on here, God gave me a reason to trust in Him by applying to schools available for summer.

I had my interview early January and got the funding mail the next morning, with a note to correct the age of birth on my passport. Mehn! had to travel down to Abuja to face immigration but all thanks to God for His divine favor, i got it done within a few days. I scanned the new passport and sent it to the embassy, in between these days/weeks i kept on waiting for the db acct details (i was worried but had faith in God) before it was sent to me finally. Yea, passport corrected and db details gotten but here comes the funding ishh. Last week Monday the am mail dropped without funding, yea! Is God not awesome? With speed i got to Lagos few days later, and today my package arrived. Glory!!!!!

My appreciation goes to everyone here.... Dolpaz, Eke40seven, Kennyoguns, Canhelvin, Sonnyville, Honourableseyi, Adenjnr, Fapper, Futurewiser... And my Gs (femo and promise)... Abeg nor vex if i nor mention your name... Babanila, Lord..... and Twostep.... Much love people

This is just a pointer to greatness.... May God perfect all that concerneth us in Deutschland..... Amennnn.

My interview transcript and timeline will follow shortly. Cheers.
