Learning and culture.

This must be promoted and live by the words.

IkpuMmadu:
What is going on in Yoruba land? They even use their elderly to scam people ! Very soon people wouldn't be taking them serious...from rituals to skull mining to this one then wire wire ! This is enough

We have a coupe of bad eggs in other tribes but what is happening in Yoruba land is getting out of hand

Yoruba must start looking inward pls

I learned authoritatively they're little kids masking as an elder. A true Yoruba Elder won't condone such an immoral act, because they appreciate our moral culture for a better society and belonging.
I also learned this dastardly act is well practice by youth in Ile-Ife town, the source of Yoruba. This is awkward, a show of ineffectiveness to the hardworking Oni King who is trying every possible means to make youth active and embrace community development

ogbonagba:
Hello Nigerians. I want to inform you of a serial fraudster in town especially on social media. He operates majorly on instagram with the instagram name Bernard flip cash and with Whatsapp no 08123146906. He posted some fake chats purportedly from people that have won money on the flip cash scheme. The chat testimonies are so convincing one will be tempted to try it. The moment you do, he will send you this account to pay the money you want to flip AGBADU BONIFACE 1130816296 POLARIS BANK. He keeps calling with these numbers 09078262945 and 08027135058. Immediately he receives the money, he blocks your number from calling him & also blocks you from Whatsap chat. He's a serial fraudster and please forward this message till it gets to the Police & EFCC. Don't blame people who have fallen victim. Save others from becoming victims. You could be saving a life.

Yes, a relative of mine was scammed recently on Instagram. She wanted to start a clothing business and all. I don't understand the process but Instagram fraud is for real. People especially ladies beware.

I don't do Instagram anyway and if I do, it will be strictly for my business.

We've to be exposing these people and report them to the police.

ItsTime4me:
Just last week, I got a text message written in Yoruba language. The only thing I could decipher was the word 'card'. Of course there were numbers that looked like recharge card pins. I just ignored and deleted the message because I wasn't expecting any such thing from anyone.

Just about 10 minutes later, I got a call from someone asking me to send the message back to him and begging that I should not load the card, that it was intended for someone else. I said no problems.

Three days later, the guy called me and said his father wants to speak with me. I was like, for what? He said the father wants to thank me for the recharge card I did not use. I said, why would I use something that does not belong to me. But he said the father was itching to talk to me. So I agreed to speak with him.

When the father came on the phone, he started showering praises on me, in a tone of an elderly Yoruba man who was struggling to speak English. He said he is surprised that people like me are still in existence. Then he asked me my name and location, which I told him.

Lastly, he asked me where I work and I told him I was looking for a job. Then he started praying for me. However, the thing that he said that made feel that they are scammers was that, the baba asked if anyone was there with me. I said yes. He said he wants to consult an Oracle for me and nobody should be there with me. Immediately, I told him that I don't do oracles and I don't believe in them. And he hung up.

So my question is, are these new methods adopted by scammers? Has anyone here experienced similar stuff? Perhaps others can learn from this.

I experienced similar stuff op. I got the text on 02-10-2018 10:33AM.

I suspected scamming or evil activity immediately I saw the card PINs.

My story is not exactly like yours but similar.

A guy called me after but I can't remember the conversation vividly again.

But I know it ended with doing something or taking an action which I didn't do.

Because he is a total stranger and I could sense lies in his conversation about me.

I kept the text because of days like this and purposely, to educate my related folks because one of them had received such scamming text.

He was wise to ask and show me his personal text and my judgment: the message is filled with lies. They intended to defraud you of your properties and hard-earned money.

If you want to make more money, follow the right and proven route.

Thus, scammers always come with something enticing such as money or recharge cards.

The full text: +2347068096244, 02-10-2018 10:33AM, IFAWOLE.AKU ODUN.BABA.NI KI E.TA CARD.YI.KI E.WO MOTO.WA.SILE ODUN.IFA. ......FOLLOWED BY THE 3 AIRTIME PIN NUMBER. The text ended with a name IFA.

English translation: Ifawole.Happy celebration.Baba.said you should sell.this card.take moto(transport) come to odun ifa or come home and celebrate Ifa.

I don't want to publish airtime pins, to prevent temptation, because I believe that's the bait to their evil act.

But believe, it's real.

Anything you don't work and earn for, run away from it.

Don't trade your precious life which some know through their juju for a Kobo.

In cases such as this, something is wrong with us and our society.

This appears like a stunt. Though, I just discovered the song and Kizz line.

Why did he release it if he doesn't like it?

This can be a testament to Buhari corruption fight. no money to steal

This is a signal to Fake Bloggers in Nigeria as well.

deafeyez:
This is really heavy considering the black race. I have not tried any so, won't know if it works or not. However, I believe if people discover opportunities and work towards it, money rituals won't be news again.
Most black men lack persistence......

This is the real deal. Our social culture is changing.

We should celebrate people who have worked hard and smart, have impacted people even if they don't have money but they live comfortable.

We should be analysing their work as a story to teach ourselves.
Examples are plenty in the Quran and Bible.

Christese:
You have to start believing it bro. I am a victim. I supplied him a full truck of diesel (AGO) worth N6.1m and he gave us a dud cheques. 3 different bank cheque. UBA, Heritage Bank and Keystone Bank.

Did you eventually get your money

EmagNig:
A man identified as Funmilade Adeyemi that was earlier declared wanted by the EFCC, has finally been finally by the anti-graft agency.

Funmilade Adeyemi, with the fake name Prof Alexander Moses of Ghana had had so many petitions filed against him at the EFCC office, by the people he defrauded up to the tune of N27 million.

One of the people he scammed took to her Instagram page to notify other victims of his arrest and implored them to go to the EFCC office to submit their petitions against him.

lalasticlala

This is unbelievable and rubbish.
State clearly what he did? What's the transaction all about? You can't just claim he scammed and wanted by EFCC to gain dirty traffic..

Besides, this story seems old even if it happens. http://punchng.com/efcc-declares-professor-doctor-two-others-wanted-for-fraud/

This appears like showtime.

This man is an author. I am currently reading his book : Negotiating as a pro.
This is unbelievable.

It's motorist that shouldn't make the job risky for them.
For now, we've to do it manually.
Lagos drivers are patient when they see them from experience.

I smell greedness.

All these celebrity pvc showtime, hope it's not for money. This is Nigeria.

Blame the stupid religious culture that forbid science for religion. God advise us to think over his creatures and solve our problems through them.
He gave us control and power over all matter . But some will prefer not to by the drugs but hold on to stupid faith.

This is a lesson .

I wish the dead peace and mercy journey beyond .

Abiiiike:


Exactly!.. how did he ever think he would go Scot free?

I guess there could be more to the story than we all know

He must have believe the herbalist so much. The way Nigeria worship their fellow being unknowingly and ignorantly will baffle you.

We don't seem to meditate about words from the Holy books ourselves.

We rely on explanations from so called Pastor or Alfa.

Can Nairaland do something about scammers on this platform. The guy has claimed he met the fake agent here.
Seun don't sleep oh

A lot of times, couples get pissed off with each other by the way they respond to spoken words. We can do better if we learn response in the *affirmative* and not in the *combative*. Read the following:

1. *Statement:* I'm really hungry.
- *Wrong response:* Even I myself have not eaten since morning.
- *Right response:* Oh sorry, let's see if there's something you can manage for now.

2. *Statement:* Why don't you try this option?
- *Wrong response:* Why is it that you always find fault with what I do?
- *Right response:* Well, I've tried this before and I think it will work. If not, I'll try that.

3. *Statement:* I want more food.
- *Wrong response:* Ha-ha, rice has finished, garri has finished, and ingredients are almost finished, and there's no sign of salary yet.
- *Right response:* Sorry, please manage that for now; I'll find some snacks for you later.

4. *Statement:* I can't finish this food.
- *Wrong response:* Ha-ha, things are expensive o; and you can't be wasting food like this. You will eat it tomorrow!
- *Right response:* Should I keep the rest for you, or give it out?

5. *Statement:* I got wounded in kitchen.
- *Wrong response:* I've told you to always be careful with the knife.
- *Right response:* Oh sorry, let me have a look. You need to be more careful next time.

6. *Statement:* Are you okay; is anything the matter with you?
- *Wrong response:* Can't you see yourself; what kind of question is that?
- *Right response:* I'm not feeling fine; I think I need some attention.

7. *Statement:* I'll like to eat corn flakes.
- *Wrong response:* No way! It's for the children; and that's for one month! Take garri if you are hungry.
- *Right response:* Okay, you can eat a little. I trust you'll give us money to stock another.

8. *Statement:* Haven't you finished what you are doing?
- *Wrong response:* You are seated there doing nothing and you are asking if I've not finished!
- *Right response:* It will still take a while; can you please lend me a hand?

9. *Statement:* I bought this on my way; I thought it will be useful.
- *Wrong response:* How much did you buy it? What! That's too expensive - wọ́n ti gbá ẹ!
- *Right response:* Thank you; it will indeed be useful. Thanks for the surprise.

10. *Statement:* Handle that thing carefully please.
- *Wrong response:* Am I that daft? You will just be instructing me as if I don't have any sense.
- *Right response:* Yes dear, I will.

Yes, little things about communication can strengthen relationship.

This isn’t about positive mindset, Nigeria presently has all the trappings of a failed state, or what would you call the daily blood letting ravaging the country without a single arrest made?

You can't dish out solutions with all the antagonism and negativity.
The result is surely failure. so why all the wasteful energy. which doesn't worth it.

dubbiskelly:
Nigeria is a failed state

Always be positive. Nigerians need to be positive. This is part of the solution. You and I don't have another country.
My country Nigeria is not a failed state likewise your father land.

Wish the Super eagle victory. They need to work as team and boost their defence professionally.

Quite simple. Our religious leaders has fail. They worship money more than anything

Op, she's wrong. don't marry selfish and self centre girl. She only care about herself and don't have the spirit of helping people.
That's a poverty mindset.

The same goes to ladies.

Yahoo as brand is suffering. It seems the company lack direction from inception.

NaijaMutant:
Yet, your brothers a vigorously campaigning for him both online and off line as if their lives depend on it

The way they throw verbal missiles at any dissenting voice you'll wonder if they live in the same failed Nigeria with you.


They are known as Zombies

BUHARI was the only option then. Confirm it if it's GEJ.

This deserves deep study, a project.

Integrity game at play here Watching who got it right

1. You have to find a marketable niche within that computer subject. That seems broad in this competitve time.

Simply research your subject and go deeper. And it will be better if it's a subject you have growing passion for and personal experience.

Surely, blogging is art of sharing personal feeling and experience with a subject but in a more professional way this time around.

2. Try to increase your posting frequency to 2 or even 3 per week. It doesn’t matter if your content is not long with 700 words, as far it is quality and solve your readers problem. If your content is great, people will spread it and engage with it.

2. Once you discover a marketable niche, keep thinking about it every day make it a lifestyle, immerse your life into it, you will be generating vast ideas to blog about and always watch for data from your visitors.

3. I hope it helps you not to give up if truly you want to help our world better.

Why is Buhari concede to defeat? There is nothing he can offer to stop oil pipeline vandalism and broker everlast peace.

They don't think development. The political system is weak
