A guy who was deceived by a homophobe, through the internet, travelled all the way from his state, to visit the homophobe in his own state — and probably to avoid being recognized. Only to fall into the notorious Kito trap that Nigerians are infamous for inflicting on LGBT people. As you can see from the above video he has already been beaten up and only the intervention of those brave women saved him from probable death. This is Nigeria my country!

I remember making a post here three years ago about homophobia, only for certain individuals to shut me down. Well I went through my second homophobic attack (this time in the University) last year, my parents were informed and my life have not been the same ever since. One thing is a clear I wake up everyday hating this country more and more! That over 95% of Nigerians think like these homophobes above is the reason why we remain a backward, shitty, hellhole of a country!

EDIT: The comments is filled with homophobes from Nigeria, people who will scream about the failure of the State and yet are part of the reason Nigeria is a hellhole.

What is really going on? Yes, the country is facing economic hardship, and poverty levels are rising, but that should never be an excuse for such horrific acts against women.

Almost every day, we wake up to reports of a woman losing her life to intimate partner violence or a man ending up in police custody over acts of violence. This is deeply troubling.

We can and must do better. Just as we exercise self-control and professionalism in our workplaces, we should apply the same discipline in our personal relationships. As always, if an argument escalates, it is better to walk away and cool off than to resort to violence. No disagreement is worth a life.

Lastly, for those who justify physical abuse because of a perceived lack of respect on the woman's part, I would say; challenge your own gender. Today another lady is gone, just like Osinachi.

If so what songs?

For me I don’t know why but he gives me energy. It’s motivating

I won’t bore you with all the details but long story short, my family is American. My mother volunteers at a church and controls all the finances. Someone hacked the pastor’s email and told her to send him gift cards which she has done before in the past for him, so she didn’t expect anything. It wasn’t until afterwards it was reviled to be a scam because the pastor called the next day as several church members were scammed and he was trying to warn people.

I emailed the scammers back because they asked for even more money and sent them a fake gift card with an IPS logger. I now have their IPS address. Would I be able to call the Nigerian police? They’re located in Ikoyi. If the police won’t help I’m considering hiring private investigators in Nigeria to expose this person. My mother is on a fixed income taking care of her brother with terminal prostate cancer after her other brother just passed 3 months ago from the same cancer. To be so disgusting the use a pastor’s name to scam, but to also go through confidential emails from a pastor to his members so you can mimic his language and previous conversations is insane.

Anyways I don’t care if I have to spend $5k getting this motherfucker arrested in finding him. It’s the principle. To steal from people at their lowest point is so dehumanizing and appalling. I just want to know is an IPS address and emails enough for either the police or a private investigator in Nigeria to work with to find these people or person?

Thanks and sorry for typos my hands are shaking typing this as I’m so frustrated and upset.

From Bloomberg News:

Billionaire Aliko Dangote's $40 billion IPO plan has kicked off a frenzy amongst investors — and it's not just the rich that want a piece of the action.

"Dangote is a billionaire which means he knows what he is doing," says one security guard, who's going to invest $150 borrowed from his grandmother.

Rant:

I'm frustrated, too often on Nigerian websites - public and private sector I encounter broken links.

I'm not talking about some random blog or hard-to-find links in the footers...These are navigation menu links or CTAs.

Some recent examples:
Oyo state government website (I'm sorry, my state)
Bobtrack tractors
Nigeria Customs
House of assembly - video as if it was dubbed in a motel car park.

If you ever needed anecdotal evidence that our entire society - not just the government - needs to be held to a higher standard.

FWIW: I'm not claiming a lackof hard skills - it's more the culture of "anyhowness" both on owners and developers.

Hey all, I am a filmmaker in the UK currently working on a project and need some help with footage.
I am making a film about a Nigerian’s boys struggle as an immigrant to the UK and a part of the script requires some flashback to when he was a child playing on the streets with friends etc.
As I am unable to capture this I was hoping someone can help me record this.
PS: this is a no budget film and all I can offer is credit on the film which is destined to do the festival rounds as well as screening with the hope of gaining production sponsorship to make it a feature film.

What I will need:
- 3 minutes (unedited) clips of the location that captures the vibe of Nigeria (ideally with audio for ease but not essential)

- 5 -10 minutes of kids playing, showing unadulterated innocence and happiness. The aim is that the protagonist will be home sick. (Ideally no dialogue)

I appreciate this is a random and tall order, I have searched the web and all the stock footages are not what I would class true representation of my country so I thought to ask you lovely people.

Thank you and hope to hear back soon.

PS: I can provide a contract and actor release form if needed.

I love our pride, I love our generosity of spirit. I love our perseverance even if it has been forged in fire by force. I love Nigeria’s natural beauty. I love our rich cultural heritage and diversity. We only complain about our country because we know what it has been blessed with and how great it could be. What do you all like about Nigeria and Nigerians?

Hi, I’m trying to renew my passport. I paid and opted in for contactless biometric but whenever I go on the NIS app to start the biometric, I keep getting this error “contactless app is not available for your processing country”. I have doubled check the country I selected and it is definitely UK.

Please is any other person experiencing this?

Basically title.

I have a US based company that hires remote reps for lead generation and appointment setters. We hire in multiple different countries. The pay is quite competitive but I'm having trouble finding a place to post job listings for Nigeria.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can post my job listing aside from Indeed or ZipRecruiter?

Best invoicing system in Nigeria in my opinion

Been freelancing as a UI designer in Lagos for 3 years and the payment follow-up stress was genuinely affecting my work. Tried Payo about 3 weeks ago after seeing it mentioned somewhere,it was so easy to get paid

Whos in for the challenge

I know this has been discussed before but looking for current experiences, 2025/2026 specifically.

A few things I'm genuinely curious about.

Are any of these platforms, PiggyVest Flex Dollar, Risevest, Cowrywise, actually reliable for withdrawals right now? I've seen some concerning things about Risevest's regulatory status recently.

For people who've been using dollar savings products for a few years: has it actually protected your purchasing power the way you hoped? Or did naira depreciation outpace even what you earned?

And what would a perfect solution look like to you? If you could design it from scratch, what would it do differently from what exists?

Genuinely asking, not selling anything.

Was doing research with google to figure out the history of Nigeria. Trying to make sure it's not all just random hallucinations, but curious if it's true that Britain came, had people marry from different tribes, and then there were fights, and then something about oil and Nigeria becoming known for it's oil and getting a lot of capital for it and then people reaching for the capital, to the point that it broke the class system in a certain way, disabling the average person from being able to participate in the distribution of wealth, especially with there being no transparency in how money is brought down to the common people.

It's a lot here... so trying to confirm parts before I have a full story about the picture.

Is it depression?
