Justice96:
I live in Dakar Senegal for the past one year now....
living here is very expensive but its fine Cos you have constant Electricity and water supply its peaceful, someone said he's been here for 15 years and has never heard the sound of a gun. As a Nigerian you should have your consular Card otherwise Na prison straight and the they don't like us because we Nigerians esp the Ibos here are too noisy( if they pick small money they whole Dakar go shake) and these people don't like noise if you play loud music or querell they call AK for you...If you have your papers and stay cool they you are fine.

Its very expensive here in Dakar i pay 75,000cfa(45,000) every month for a room with toilet and bathroom. you can imagine the kind of house you rent for that amount in Nigeria. you pay water bill and Electricity bill every 2 months. As for internet connection its superfast and reliable here we use Orange Wi-Fi connection box totally unlimited and affordable sometimes i use 100GB a month among several users...renting a new appartment you pay 3 months straight 1 month rent, caution and agent fee(if you use agent)

cons: its very expensive.
bad reputation for Nigerians(so many Nigerians
in the prison here.
No job.
very dusty and cold.
poor public transport.
language barriers(but if you know your way)

prons: peacful and good Security.
Steady power supply.
uninterrupted internet and super fast connection
beautiful beaches everywhere.
and its a good Avenue to travel abroad, while
they white find it hard to come to Nigeria they
visit Senegal with ease cos its a tourist country
and very safe so many Have travelled abroad
from here.

our boys here are into yahoo or travelling, Girls are into Street hustling or travelling very few are into business

Nigerian girls are beautiful but when it comes to shape forget 9 in 10 Senegalese girls are well endowed...lol
almost everyone here use good phones Iphone and Samsung.

Why I'm i here? Cos I'm planning on traveling too which is going well by his grace 2 women from Abroad pay my bills every month i still save a send some home.


God can bless you anywhere

brother I hope you don't mind my few questions:
what's the cost of the consular card
your kind of accommodation is 45k the least one can get.
Thirdly what kind of business thrives there,and what's the purchasing power.
lastly you said people travel with ease , please which country visa is easier to access from their.
thanks.

Top 10 countries with the highest number of in the world - You won't believe where Nigeria is ranked
Top 10 countries with the highest number of scammmyers in the world – You won’t believe where Nigeria is ranked
Scamming has become a global problem over the years. E commerce which is one of the methods used in scamming is a trillion dollar business and this is so because, so much money is changing hands over the internet. By this point, savvy people know it’s a bad idea to trust an email from a Nigerian prince hoping to use their bank account to unload a dead relative’s vast wealth. And they’re just as suspicious of the sudden Internet-based love interest with questionable grammar who needs a few thousand untraceable dollars to clear up a passport issue in time for a magical first date.

In light of this, let’s check out top 10 countries where the risk of being scammed is high.

10. Romania
Most risk of fraud in Romania

After the fall of communism, Romania slumped to poverty and corruption. Over years Romania has built a reputation over internet scams that have been successful. Scammers have been able to dupe innocent people through online dating, phishing and also sale of non-existence products. Romanian internet scam artists use some tried methods to con you, it’s not always A- list but it always works.
9. Philippines
Countries with the highest number of scammers

Besides the common romance scams the Philippines have taken it a notch higher, one of the used schemes is called the familiar face where somebody approaches you and claims you look familiar and in the process, they decide to show you around where later you get robbed. Horse Trading is another way they robe you. You negotiate a price with the driver and during the ride they change shift, where the entrant comes and takes the price almost 10 times the original price.
8. South Africa
Most risk of fraud South Africa

A report by UJ Centre for Cyber Security has received during the course of 2015 South Africans were the most affected by banking-related fraud. This included phishing, visiting spoofed banking websites or receiving false message notifications of bank withdrawals or deposits though most of these cases were reported in Gauteng province.
7. Venezuela
Most risk of fraud Venezuela

Since its economy plunged into recession, there have been massive cases of scamming ranging from online dating to fake government bonds. Currently the street value of greenbacks has soared to 7x the government’s rate of VEF6.3 to the dollar. In 2016 alone the consumer prices rose to 800% and the economy had contracted by 18.6%. This resulted to massive unemployment and also in local stores there were empty shelves. These factors coupled with others led to massive scamming schemes.
6. Indonesia
Most risk of fraud in Indonesia

Indonesian scammers are tech savvy where they are able to con people without knowing. Fraud cases have increased since the year 2000; bank customers have been victimized by syndicates with the use of data-capturing devices illegally installed in bank machines.
5. Pakistan
How to earn money online in Pakistan

Military scams have become so common such that many crime fighting organizations are sending an alert. They are not easy to detect, scammers use high ranking officials and pose as military members on online dating sites and social networks and engage in relationships whose only goal is to use peoples images which they will later use to fool other people. At the moment scammers pose as a soldier, currently deployed in Pakistan and they will find a way to get you to send money to them. Criminals are also installing a virus on your computer where they steal everything in your computer and in the process blackmail you to send them money. Also, Pakistan has world’s most corrupt police force.
4. Brazil
Countries with a high number of scammers

Brazil is the hub of scammers. It is been discussed how Brazil scams people by posing as beautiful ladies. Pick-pocketing which was more evident in the 2016 Olympics put a bad picture. There are also cases of express kidnappings which happen around foreign currency exchange banks.
3. China,
Online scams in China

Chinese are very good at this; they have incorporated technology to scamming unsuspecting masses. College Entrance Scam is one method they scam parents by convincing them that the child can get to college with poor results. “I Am Your Husband’s Mistress” Scam is another method where they text husbands’ wives with a link to see images of herself (mistress) with her husband, to which wives quickly enter the link and her phone gets infected with a Trojan virus and they retrieve passwords and images which they use to blackmail the family. Beijing’s Hospital Scalpers is a decade common problem where people earn money by enticing people to obtain medical care at a certain hospital. Initially they tarnish the original hospital’s name and profession hence creating distrust and you will trust them. They will walk you to their clinic of choice and the staff does many unnecessary expensive tests.
2. India
scams in India

It’s impossible to visit India and fail to encounter at least one scam or someone trying to scam you. Pretending not to know the Way to Your Hotel is one scam taxi drivers use to rip you off. They will offer to take you to another hotel where it will be expensive. Importing Gemstones Duty Free is another scam especially in Jaipur area. The scam involves tourists being approached by a gem dealer, who convinces them to buy some worthless gemstones. You will be asked to import them under their duty free allowance, then sell them on to one of his fictitious willing partners in their home country which will be much more money than they originally paid.
1. Nigeria
Scams in Nigeria

Nigeria uses one play book to dupe unsuspecting people. I believe everybody have seen this somewhere whether in email or Facebook messages where they will probably tell you an elaborate fake story about large amounts of money in the central bank or a large amount of inheritance that is difficult for them to access because of their government restrictions or taxes in their country and in the process they ask for your bank details so as to transfer the money to you and in the process they will use your information to steal your funds.

daddytime:
Wow strange and surprised you don't know ewa agoyin as a Nigerian...itu quite popular with Lagosians though

ewa agoyin is not as popular as you think,that all Nigerians should know,it's only popular among the yorubas

Nothing has changed, the price is still as it use to be,the only thing is if you can afford the new version with the 10years span then go for it,but if you can't afford it then stay were you are with the normal passport with 5years validity.prices are slightly different with each passport office,so do your self a favour and go to the one closest to you ���
I renewed mine March,so nothing changed

@ warri 33k for instant passport and 28k for the wait in line process, which can take a month at least.

SageTravels:
Do you have a passport? A Nigerian Passport? Congratulations!

You are one of the lucky few who have endured the torment of queuing up for hours, days, weeks and sometimes months to secure a passport for the official fee of N17,800.

If you don’t have the patience for queues and weeks of meaningless visits, paying an official as much as N40,000 will guarantee you get your passport the same day or at most, in 3 days (depending on the state).

Apparently, I thought I could “do it on my own”. I made the grievous error of paying for my passport renewal online on January 4, 2019. Here is a quick rundown of how the immigration service has frustrated my life.

January 4:

Paid for Passport renewal online (a big mistake as not paying in cash and paying through your nose means your passport renewal/procurement process can take forever).

February 19:

I went to submit my old passport at the Oyo state command, and filled some forms. I was not told a capture was needed. I was only told to come back next week.

March 1:

I went to ask about my passport. Told to come back next week.

March 4:

Visited: no booklet, no passport.

March 6:

Visited and accidentally learned I needed to be captured (it was my first renewal ever). After nearly six hours of waiting, I was captured (picture taken and biodata captured on the portal). As I would later learn, allowing them to capture me when they were already complaining about booklet scarcity was another mistake because once you are captured, you cannot cancel or transfer to another state.

March 11:

Visited: no booklet, no passport.

March 13:

Visited, no booklet, no passport. I met with several officials who advised I meet with the Comptroller. I did meet and He asked me to meet with the official in charge. He was not on seat. The very next day, someone else was occupying the same seat and He did not attend to my request. Meanwhile, a friend told me his brother secured a passport at the Oyo state command within 4 days after paying N27,000.

March 15:

Visited, no booklet, no passport.

March 20:

Visited, no booklet, no passport.

March 25:

Visited twice. On my first visit, the officer I met told me they were attending to backlogs. No time for my passport. The comptroller was on his way out, I could not meet him. I went back by 3:30pm. He told me the person in charge is not on seat, I should check back when He returns. I asked another official who told me the said official had travelled for a marriage ceremony in faraway Kano. Another official asked me the Church I attend, and advised I start praying and fasting. Another official asked me to take my grievances to Servicom. Yet another official encouraged me to take to twitter.

In between these visits, I made countless phone calls to friends, family and immigration officials asking for help. Nothing has worked.

Why do I need my passport badly?

I have been selected as one of the top 24 entrepreneurs in the world with game-changing social enterprise ideas in the GIST TECH-I competition organized by the US Department of State. My flight is booked for April 13. Hotel booked. But I have no Visa. Why? I have no passport. I have also been selected as a Mandela Washington Fellow. I also need to submit my passport by the 27th of March (for Mandela Washington fellowship) and 28th of March (to process my Bahrain Visa).

Every time I visit the Oyo state command, I take along documents, explaining how I am going to be representing Nigeria in Bahrain for GIST TECH-I and why I need my passport badly. It seems I have been speaking Greek and the immigration service has left me no choice but to cry out to Nigerians to save me.

I have a few questions for the Comptroller General and the Comptroller in Charge of Oyo State:

Why is the immigration service always running out of booklets & dealing with backlogs?

Why are immigration officials immune to deadlines & genuine emergencies?

Why must an entire command stand still because an official is not around?

Why must I need to know someone who knows someone before I can secure my passport?

Why do I need to pay 2X or 3X the official rate before I secure my passport?

Why do I need to pray and fast, trend on twitter or write a diary such as this before I get my passport?

I have deadlines looming.

I am a law abiding citizen. No criminal records.

I am travelling to make Nigeria proud.

Immigration service, give me my Passport.

If you are for real,why not go with the balance 23k and get your passport,and save your self from stress and extra fund for transport. I did mine this month for 33k and got it too,it was stressful but I got it.

Aeesha2:
A friend of mine is currently in a state of dilemma.
She works as a waiter in Dubai with a monthly salary of 150k in a month. Recently , she got a job of 100k in Nigeria with a real estate firm with some "juicy" promises here in Nigeria. She is caught in between sticking to the job of 150k per month+free feeding+free accommodation or 100k naija job with promises of handouts from time to time base on contracts and sales. Working in as a black in Dubai is not easy couple with the stress of the job but she feels in Nigeria ,100k for a managerial position is more dignifying . Your advice are needed pleeeease.

How can she even think Nigeria at all,madam big up and look ahead,gain international experience and grow. She will regret 100k salary in Nigeria as far you are not the company owner. If you are not ok with the job over there,it's two ways, with experience in your job is either you look for a higher paying job or you save up and move to a more convenient country. If you just return you might never be able to escape this mess of a country.

booklet is scarce in most states in Nigeria,like for me I paid for instant passport,is two weeks now yet no booklet.

does Nigerians actually live in this island?

Gforce2019:
Are you not part of the Nigerian women in diaspora?
What do you do for living over there?

If you have read carefully you would have known that am not living in Dubai, but asking on my behalf and other women to learn.

wetdick:
anyway, my write up was about Nigerian girls but damn i have just read about the Dubai porta belly where rich people and beautiful Instagram celebrities do crazy stuff behind closed door for cash. damn its a crazy world.

still waiting for your reply.

ariketalks:
Time to resurrect certain threads.

You are already doing the resurrection thing,this number 2
so what's your plan ariketalk.

Too bad for us, please let's stop blaming our leaders for corruption, when even the followers are corruption themselves.

so please op with what you have witness so far, what is your advice for the gullible women and ladies that intends to embark on such trip for livelihood.

Also what are some of the petty jobs available for ladies who are yet to find a reasonable job.

Nonso92:
I was at the immigration office at gombe state yesterday to make the enquiries for passport renewal,

According to the immigration officer I met, he said it would cost 24k to renew the passport, and I would have to come with my own passport photo.

The new passport would be ready in less than 48 hrs

Is it white or red passport background.

the price is moderate in your state but north is a no no for now,thanks for the information.

please is there anyone who Renewed his passport recently I would like to know the requirements and the cost.

Also I want to know if another passport pic would be taken for the biometric so I can dress good.

Who is bothered about the number and ranking,I just wish it was only 20 visa free countries that entails 5 schegen,USA,Canada, UK, Australia, and other reasonable countries.

caridi:
I've been a silent member of this thread and I have this to say. Pls mothers try to stay on products that don't contain bleaching or lightening agents. I made this mistake. I was using clinic clear...hmmm. Then for drugs. Pls I beg u in God's name, don't self medicate. I remember self medicating on folic acid, I heard its good but it changed my circle from 22 days to 36 days...also pls, no matter what u do, don't give d devil power by thinking your difficulty in trying to conceive is tied to some spiritual attack. The devil almost made me believe I was under an attack. But I kicked that though away from my heart. Again, understand your circle... don't miss your ovulation day. when u start seeing sticky discharge pls BD with DH. On the day the egg will b released in you, if u pay close attention to your body, u will know. On the day ur body releases d egg, u will feel a sharp pain at your side or your lower abdomen. the pls when u feel this, BD... Again, pls refrain from all these things they grind in bottle for u to drink. After trying to conceive for so long, one day I was angry, I pack all d folic acid and threw away, fling my cream in bush...and started living my life normally. I only had sex twice that month and that was the first day I saw d sticky discharge and 2 days later when I felt d sharp pain by my side (showing that I ovulated that day). Just twice, and mommies, I'm pregnant. Sometimes let go and let God. Stop trying and give God the chance to be God. May God cause your wombs to open and bear twins and more in Jesus name.

Learnt from this post and I hope it works for me.
Sometimes let go and let God. Stop trying and give God the chance to be God.
I will share my testimonies IJNP, Amen.

Same way some girls say they will prostitute for the mean time to see themselves through school?

You are very stupid indeed

are you sure you OK ,you just raise insult for no cause please act matured and responsible too,I know you just one kid around the corner trying to seek attention.
Didn't you see that she refuse to earn illegally to survive.
instead of stealing, doing drugs,scams,being a proustite, she ignored her pride and started to source for help the way she can.
Be careful so life doesn't treat you badly because I know you are just a kid.

The hustle is real mama keep it up Is better to beg than to steal but don't turn it into a profession. #get sense and do it for the meantime.

Princewill87:

The question is were can I get a genuine agent.

Evtspez:
Ignore any grammatical errors please. I will make it concise.
My girlfriend visited me 20th December 2018 and we had unprotected s*x. Base on what she told me about her menstrual cycle, her ovulation period falls within the date. Before she left my crib early January she has started menstruating which came 4 days earlier than usual. Exactly a month she called that she has not seen her period.
My concern is am I truly responsible for it? Considering the fact that : She started her menstrual period before leaving my crib, even though I know semen can survive for 5 days in the reproductive tract of a lady but even at that her ovulation can't take place immediately which makes such chances slim.

Medical experts in the house can a lady get pregnant and still experience heavy flow of menses? My understanding is even if it occurs it comes light.

My reasons for seeking public/experts opinions:
I will travel so I would like to travel together with her if there's chances of me being responsible for it because I don't want her to suffer.
As no DNA test can be carried out at this stage, I don't want to take responsibility and at the end the pregnancy is not mine.
Thanks in anticipation for your inputs.

Am sorry to say this; that's not your baby.
She actually had a period before leaving your house,what are you thinking?
Seeing are period earlier is either her hormone change or she has been lying with dates.

For the benefit of others here, I have been receiving message of how the financial aspect works.
For first timers if you can tell me the nature of the work like for example you are moulding some trip of sand I will tell you the total cost you will be spending,including sand,cement and workmanship so as to prepare your mind. But we work towards the initial total cost.
But workers payment is on a daily bases,that's how it works.

Rubbiish:
Does the bold include finishes or just carcass?

Before roofing stage,not finishing stage.

happy new year everyone.
Have been so busy with some projects this dry season, for all those looking for block moulders at affordable rate,you can still reach me
1bag of cement is 900naira for 40-45 blocks.
is negotiable according to volume of work,and we are at your service in any location apart from northern Nigeria.

my wedding anniversary is counting down yet no bfp, in fact have stop visiting my family n husband family,because I feel unproductive, I put business to a standstill since October.
Come to think of it this 2weeks wait is almost eating me up,so much anxiety and expectations. tomorrow is suppose to be my period day,I don't want to be disappointed again like last month so is like am accepting defeat .
my period is regular but I feel I don't ovulate because I have never encounter cervical mucus. please moms in the house help me with solution for this, thanks.

old things have pass away indicate the beginning of a new life,that nature of devil as gone for good and God has forgotten your sinful pass. He has now embrace you with eternal life.
You have now come in union with your father, which is the beginning of a new thing.
Eternal or everlasting life is the hope of a true believer.
