Hello, I’m a flight attendant for one of the airlines that fly on behalf of Air Peace on their domestic flights.

Today, we got information that there was an incident at the airport and that the “mob” targets Air Peace vans and maybe also personal.

Can you please help me shine a light on this situation. We really don’t feel safe. Any local information or advice is welcome. Thank you.

This is my first holiday away from my overly religious parents and I don't know what to do during the crossover. I know a new year is just another random day and not a big deal but people here are so pumped up about it and are already circulating media and memes about how to worship and pray in church and that's just not my shtick.

Also, there's fomo. It's like everyone is doing things they love and joining communities through their religious gathering and I'm just... there. I don't want to do that.

I know I can just stay in my house and sleep through the night because honestly, it's another regular day but I don't want to do that either.

Born and raised in Nigeria but I've seen movies and read stories of how other countries just throw parties and celebrate with fireworks and kissing total strangers during the countdown and it's something I want to experience. I want to watch people's faces light up, I want to see them draw their partners closer, I want to see the fireworks boom and I want to feel the excitement of the countdown and everyone throwing their alcohol or whatever back while having the best night of their life.

I know it's not that deep but it's something I want to experience. Are there places that offer events like that here? Also, I'm curious as to what y'all have planned for the night.

Is anyone traveling to Nigeria this December with an expired passport? Specifically with no desire to renew it? Has anyone done it before. I’m a Canadian citizen and my Nigerian passport expired 4 years ago, I want to go to Lagos but I don’t want to renew my passport. I’ll be traveling from Toronto. Had anyone experienced this? Please help

Looking for someone that can get me a nigerian virtual debit card that works in google play store or Microsoft store and i will pay him.

I don't really have much to say except I'm in so much pain and can't afford to go to the hospital.

I'm so scared and tired and hot and cold, don't know what to do.

I feel so bad, because my parents don't have the money to take me to the hospital, I feel like I don't have any options.

Genuinely feel like I'm dying.

I know people will ask me why I'm posting this on this sub, and tbh I don't know. I guess I'm hoping you guys will understand. We're all in this Nigeria problem together.

Edit: also I guess I want to say, don't have kids if you can't take care of them. I'm not blaming my parents in any way but, if you're AS and your partner is AS literally leave! Or if you love them too much, don't have kids! That's the most selfish thing you could do, they will be miserable, you will be miserable. It's not worth it guys! Adopt if you really want kids.

I am trying to go to Atlanta to get a new passport so l can visit Nigeria next year, however I was born in the US. It's my understanding that if you have a parent that is Nigerian citizen you should be able to get a passport. For those of you who went through this process for a fresh passport (not renewal) what did you bring to the appointment? I know they have it listed on the website but my friend said she hired someone to do the attestation of citizenship form. I'm not sure what that is and I don't see it on the Atlanta passport website. Did anyone else have to bring this in? What all did you bring?

Greetings can somebody explain to me how to “Waybill” something in Nigeria and how the person will pick it up or deliver it.

I’m sending something from Umuahia to Onitcha

I have a question guys. I am about to relocate to Nigeria while still maintaining my job. Do Nigerian banks allow the withdrawal USD from domiciliary accounts? Or do they forcefully give out naira equivalents? Also what other alternatives exist? I want to be able to withdraw cash in USD. Thanks in advance.

Hello from Indonesia, the land of Indomie 🍜

I heard from somewhere that Nigeria is obsessed with Indomie, just like Indonesians. Here Indomie is like a religion. Eaten by everyone and mixed with all kinds of food. There are popular restaurants here which menu are simply Indomie mixed with fancy ingredients. I myself have Indomie every Saturday for breakfast. Is Indomie just as popular in Nigeria? How did Indomie, an Indonesian food, become popular in Nigeria in the 1st place? Also, does Indomie have competition there? Here In Indonesia we have alternate cults such as "Sarimi" and "Mi Sedap". Curious what the noodle pantheon is like in Nigeria

As the title suggests, this year has felt like a lost cause for me. I’ve been juggling multiple skills, but instead of making progress, I find myself overwhelmed and frustrated. I can’t shake off the fear that I might never succeed in mastering anything. This anxiety makes it so hard to commit to just one path; instead, I flit from one pursuit to another, never finding fulfilment in any of them.

I’m reaching out for help because I truly want to refocus my energy on one thing for the year ahead. I need guidance on how to gather my scattered thoughts and find the clarity and determination to dive deep into a single skill. I want to experience the joy and satisfaction of growth instead of feeling lost and defeated. Any advice would mean the world to me.

I’m always interested in knowing the experiences of Nigerian women who date other African men who are not Nigerian. Whenever I come across intercultural relationships, it’s almost always the man that is Nigerian. And also from my personal experience and observations, a lot of the Nigerian women I know only want to date Nigerian men if they’re interested in dating Africans. Sometimes either Nigerian or white. lol. I personally date anyone that makes me happy and shares similar values. I’ve only had a brief thing with a Cameroonian dude but it was so short lived that I can’t really say much about it lol.

Edit: the title should say Nigerian WOMEN but idk how to change it

Hi all, I'm a graphic designer based in Lagos and I'm looking for any Risograph printers in the area. I found one through Google search (Riso Print & Copy) but it no longer exists. Anyone else know of any Risograph printers in Nigeria, preferably with access to a lot of colors? Much appreciated.

I'm an intermediate software developer [backend with node/express.js] it gets boring having no one to share my journey or similar interests with.. dm if interested

Hello good evening, I am attempting to send money from US to my wife, but she only has a mobile money account. It looks like Western Union and World remit don't have options for recipient to be mobile money account.

Is there anyway to send to mobile money account?

Thank you

if you used their service & lost data in a way that caused problems for your business (no matter how small) id like to ask some questions.

Life is precious. A few years ago, I was on the brink of losing mine due to overwhelming pressure. I left home for an unknown destination with nothing.

A kind stranger took me in, offering shelter without condition. But this new environment became my biggest challenge. I faced belittling, neglect, and mistreatment.

Despite the hardships, I survived. My past experiences taught me to never give up, stay strong, and keep dreaming. I'm grateful for how far I've come."

Adults, Teenagers Coming of Age and Children living in Nigeria during the 90s. How was life back then? e.g University Life, Magazines, Celebrity Drama, Politics, TV, Home Life etc

I’ve never ordered anything in Nigeria since I got back 2 years ago. I will like to order a couple of gadgets on Amazon and would appreciate feedback on how it goes around here. Do I pay custom fees? Does it get delivered to my house?

Also, I see things on Jumia and JiJi and I’ve never ordered there too. I’m scared of “what I ordered v what I got” situation

Edit: Not saying the same thing doesn’t happen on Amazon but I’ve never personally experienced it so there’s that

IT'S REALLY LONG PLEASE BEAR WITH ME! 🙏🏾

In March this year, I stumbled across a job application on a writer’s group chat. It was for a volunteer content creator role, content and copywriting. I’m a full-time uni student with no work experience and not even a resume. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I stood a chance, but I thought, Why not? What’s the worst that could happen?

I quickly made a half baked resume that only included my experience as a press club president in my secondary school and sent it in. To my surprise, I got a response saying I’d made it to the next stage: creating a carousel post to sell the company’s services. With my very basic Canva skills, I managed to create something and sent it in. Somehow, I advanced to the oral interview stage.

The interview was scheduled for 2 PM on a Thursday, and just that morning, one of my lecturers announced an impromptu test at 2:30 PM. I almost ran mad 😭😭. Not only did I have to study for the test, but I also had to prepare for the interview. The interview started, I was so tense that I fumbled most of the questions. To make things worse, my phone kept randomly shutting off throughout the call. It was a disaster. They eventually asked me to leave the call and said they’d get back to me. I was convinced I’d lost the job.

A week later,I received a shocking mail,: I was hired! They sent me a document outlining my responsibilities: • Writing articles for their blog • Coming up with content ideas for their social media pages • Writing captions for posts • Writing video scripts • SEO optimization and some other stuff i don't remember

But here’s the part that hurt me: the pay was ₦5,000/month (about $3). I knew it wasn’t worth my time or skills, but I knew if i was going to get a better job I needed the experience. The contract was for six months, after which they’d decide whether or not to retain me.

Fast forward to the 8th month, and they told me they wanted to keep me on. They even “increased” my pay to ₦10,000/month (about $6). I felt crushed. I had poured so much effort into my work, and I’d even helped grow their Instagram page from 9k to 11.2k followers. I brought up my concerns about the pay, but they said they were short on funds since they’re a two-year-old startup.

Reluctantly, I accepted because, honestly, I need the money even if it barely makes a dent in my expenses. I’m being raised by a single mom who takes care of me and my younger brother. She’d never admit it, but I know it’s not easy for her. She’s the kind of person who’d discourage me from taking a job altogether, saying I don’t need one. But the truth is, there are personal expenses I don’t want to burden her with, no matter how small they might seem.

I’ve haven't started looking for another job, but ideally i need something international that pays better and gives me the chance to support myself and maybe even lighten her load a little. But it’s a slow process.

If I leave this job, I’ll have no income. If I stay, I’ll keep feeling undervalued and frustrated. I’m really confused. What should I do?

At this point, it feels like the secret rulers of this great nation, who have led us into the mess we’re in, will never face the consequences of their actions, nor allow Nigeria to truly heal. Their corruption and influence run so deep that they’ve successfully infiltrated over 80% of those in power—past, present, and even those yet to come.

In other countries, allegations like these spark massive unrest, endless protests, and, in some cases, justice is served. For instance, corrupt government officials in places like China have been exposed and even put to death for their crimes.

Yet here, even if someone were to present hard evidence against these individuals, it would likely be ignored. The news wouldn’t go viral, and such a revelation might barely attract 1,000 comments. Meanwhile, people would carry on with their lives, debating Wizkid and Davido instead.

I know not all men thinking the same, some men arrive even into 40 years old because he says ' I do not find the one' ,other women on social media and post wonder what men usually likes and looking for.

Edit: Men and lads are not the same.

I've been struggling to make ends meet since I graduated over 3 years ago, it's been from one poor paying job to the other. Early this year I managed to convince my father to sell his land and give me a million naira from the money. He wanted me to travel out but I had to inform him that travelling even to an African country is now very expensive which 1 or even 2 million won't be able to process.

I decided to invest the money into mini importation from a Chinese site known as 1688. I tasted the waters by importing cheap necklaces but they weren't of good quality so I decided to try again. I imported wigs and they were better because I was able to realize at least 6k profit on each of them but then sales was a bit slow since I didn't really have the customer base for wigs.

After the wigs I imported boyfriend jeans since I was already into jeans business before and it is a trendy stuff that I won't have much problem selling. Before I ordered I checked reviews, longevity of the seller on the site and other checks. After due diligence I ordered 200 pairs of jeans from 3 different vendors. An agent helped me to make payments while I took care of the shipping myself.

I waited apprehensively for about two months for the goods to arrive because unlike the first two orders which I used air freight I used sea cargo due to the weight of the shipment. During the wait I reached out to prospective buyers with the samples and videos that I got from the vendors. The goods finally arrived Nigeria and spent over a week under customs clearance. Within this period my parents had been checking in occasionally to know the progress of the business.

The goods arrived the shipping company's warehouse and I had to plead with my dad to borrow me a refundable 235,0000 to clear the goods which will be paid immediately I start making sales. I sent my brother who's a dispatcher in Lagos to help me pick up the stuff. He called me on video call when he got home and what I saw shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. My phone fell off my hand while I gasped for breath with my heart racing.

The 3 vendors sent identical goods which were as good as rags, in fact it was below okirika 3rd grade standard. Even skirts, bum shorts and plain trousers were found among the rubbish they sent, some were torn. Without mincing words, they sent damaged, old and worn out goods to me. They weren't even packaged in nylons. It was as if there was a conspiracy between the vendors.

I just watched the great hope and expectations that I had fizzle out with tears rolling down my cheeks, I wished I was dreaming but it was reality. I broke the news to my dad who was beyond disappointed in me, he regretted giving me the money and wished he had invested the money in his building project like my mom advised him when he wanted to give me the money.

On my part I'm just downcast, confused and depressed with no idea on what to do with my life. At 32 I thought I was finally up to something that will lift me out of poverty but just like several times that I've tried, I came crashing down to the ground. I feel like I'm cursed to die in suffering but anyhow it is giving up is not an option. I will still stand up and continue the struggle till I make it legitimately one way or the other.

I had to put this up here so that others can learn from my mistakes and bear in mind that those Chinese are dubious and should tread carefully when dealing with them.

Some people has been insinuating that it's likely that customs swapped the goods at the port, I'm just confused and tired.

TL;DR - I have 20million Naira extra cash, buy a car or invest it?

25M here with stable income in Nigeria. I've met my savings goals and already have crypto exposure. Looking for advice on deploying 20M Naira extra capital.

Current considerations:

• Buying a car (though not urgently needed)
• Looking for semi-high risk investment opportunities
• Open to passive business ventures
• Preferably guaranteed/secured investment options

Key questions:

1. What are some reliable investment vehicles in Nigeria besides real estate and crypto?
2. For those familiar with the Nigerian market, would you recommend buying a car now or investing the capital?
3. Any suggestions for passive business opportunities that don't require constant attention?

Additional context:

• Already have emergency funds set up
• Main investment goal is wealth building, not immediate income
• Time horizon: 3-5 years
• Located in Nigeria (relevant for local investment options)

Looking for practical advice from those with experience in the Nigerian market. What would you do in my position?

Why are the guys with least success at getting girls always the ones that have a lot of opinions on female autonomy? Guys that get a lot of female attention generally don't have this hidden resent for women. They can be sexist in other ways but generally I've noticed that it's always the guys that get no play who have a lot to say about body counts, too much make up, dressing, decadence, feminism and all that. Curious to get a few naija perspectives on this.
