Nairaland / General / Re: Brighten Your Brick Adventure: LEGO 10294 Light Kit Solutions by Datbadtguy: 5:01pm On Nov 11 |
My wife laughs at me because I like to make lego (I'm 35 years old). If honestly, I think that everyone can choose what to do in their free time, even if they look more childish |

Politics / Re: Oyebanji Restates Ban On Use Of Schools Premises For Social Events by Datbadtguy: 1:31pm On Nov 03 |
I see why the governor banned using public schools for social events. It's crucial to protect those spaces for education. I've seen schools get damaged from all the parties, so it's good to see the government taking a stand on this. |
Health / Re: The Healing Power Of Yoga And Mindfulness by Datbadtguy: 1:56pm On Oct 30 |
I’m interested in trying out energy healing practices, but I need more info to really understand it better. Would love to learn more about how it works and what’s involved. |
Travel / Re: Travel Expert Needed Please by Datbadtguy: 9:11pm On Oct 04 |
First, since you want a new passport with your real name, go to the immigration office in Nigeria, explain you need to correct your details, and apply for a new one. Honesty is key, especially since you'll be dealing with biometric data now. For the UK issue, it’s best to consult an immigration lawyer experienced in UK visas—they’ll guide you on what steps to take without risking further trouble. You should be prepared to explain your past situation honestly and work towards clearing up the discrepancies. I found Travel Reviews very useful for getting tips from people in similar situations; someone there mentioned how their lawyer helped clear up complicated immigration records, which might be helpful for you too. Good luck, and stay persistent. |
Sports / Re: Please Help Me Understand This About Betting by Datbadtguy: 1:50pm On Sep 27 |
In most betting platforms, your bet on a draw applies strictly to the standard 90 minutes plus any injury time. So, if the match is tied at the end of regulation, your bet should win regardless of what happens in extra time or penalties. The 30 minutes you’re mentioning refers to "extra time" in knockout stages or finals, where there has to be a winner. Unfortunately, if your platform doesn't clearly separate regular-time results from the final match outcome, that might be why you're losing those bets. I’ve had similar confusion before betting online. One thing that helped was switching to a platform like xin88, where rules around extra time are much clearer. It’s key to always double-check the terms, especially on draw bets, to avoid these kinds of issues. |
Fashion / Re: Top Trends In Black Opal Rings For 2024 by Datbadtguy: 1:02pm On Sep 27 |
One of the coolest trends I’ve noticed recently isn’t just in black opal rings, but in travel rings. These are designed to look luxurious without the risk of losing or damaging expensive items while you’re on the go. I actually bought the Amalfi Ring Gold for 159 AUD, and it’s perfect for when I want to look stylish without worrying about my pricier jewelry. The design is simple yet elegant, and it’s been great for formal events and vacations. |
Business / Re: What To Do To Make Money Online? by Datbadtguy: 9:34am On Sep 20 |
If you're looking to make money online, I've tried a few different things. Freelance platforms like Upwork or Fiverr are great for offering services like writing, graphic design, or even virtual assistance. Another option is selling items on platforms like Etsy if you’re into crafts, or flipping items on eBay. For passive income, affiliate marketing or creating a blog can work, but it takes time to grow. If you’re into teaching, sites like Udemy let you create courses and earn over time. Just be careful with online opportunities that seem too good to be true. To check the legitimacy of a website, you can use tools like whois us, which provides details about the domain. If it's not private, it could be a red flag. Always double-check before sharing personal info. 1 Like |
Food / Re: See The Fish I Bought for ₦5,000 by Datbadtguy: 9:26am On Sep 20 |
Wow, 5k for Titus fish does sound like a lot! I can see why you feel like you might have been overcharged. Prices for things like fish can really vary depending on the market or location, but that price does seem high, especially compared to what it used to be. I haven’t bought Titus fish recently, but I know inflation has been affecting prices across the board. I looked into it a bit, and from what I found on Fish N Care, it seems like the price of Titus fish has been going up lately, depending on where you're buying it from. It’s always good to compare prices at different markets before buying, but at least it tasted good! |
Car Talk / Re: How Can I Make My Car Shine Like This? by Datbadtguy: 9:15am On Sep 20 |
If you want that deep shine on your car, wax can help, but for long-lasting results, I’d recommend ceramic coating. I went with Ceramic Coating Sydney and paid $1,295 for the Graphene Serum package. It comes with a 7-year warranty, which is great for durability and keeping that shine. They started with a 2-bucket foam decontamination wash, then used an iron fallout removal spray, followed by mechanical clay bar decontamination. They also did a multi-stage paint correction to get rid of swirl marks and scratches before applying the coating. The result was a brilliant, long-lasting shine that also protects the paint. |
Webmasters / Re: How To Build A Stunning Website On A Budget: 10 Affordable Web Design Tips by Datbadtguy: 10:59pm On Sep 17 |
When I built a website on a tight budget, I learned that keeping the design simple made all the difference. A clean and easy layout not only looked better but also made the site faster and easier to use, which is super important for visitors. I worked with PPixelWebID to create my site, and they really helped with making it efficient and straightforward. It’s also easy to update, which saves time and money. |
TV/Movies / Re: Thread For Anime Lovers (NO HENTAI PLEASE) by Datbadtguy: 10:50pm On Sep 17 |
I’ve been into anime for years, and it’s awesome to see a thread like this! Some of my favorites are Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Demon Slayer. The animation and storytelling in these shows are just incredible. I’m always looking for new series to binge, so feel free to recommend some! I recently got also into collecting Pokemon Cards. I found a site that sells them, and I’ve been working on completing the original base set. It’s been fun diving back into that world, especially since it brings back childhood memories. 1 Like |
Food / Re: How Do I Stop My Mum From Consuming Excess Beef And Indomie? by Datbadtguy: 10:47pm On Sep 17 |
I had a similar issue with my dad eating too much of certain foods. What worked for me was gradually introducing healthier alternatives that were still filling and tasty. Maybe try offering your mum meals that have a similar flavor or texture to what she likes, but with less beef and fewer noodles. It might help to prepare something together or share articles about balanced eating. Sometimes just seeing the benefits can make a difference. If she's interested in adjusting her diet more, there’s a great supplementation guide on carnivore diet that explains how to fill nutritional gaps. It could help her understand the importance of balance in her food choices and how supplements might support her well-being too. |
Business / Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by Datbadtguy: 7:23pm On Sep 17 |
If you’re considering Uber in Lagos, it can be quite lucrative if you know how to handle the traffic and peak times. On average, you might make around ₦50,000-₦70,000 weekly working full days. Challenges include heavy traffic, occasional security concerns, and fluctuating demand. It’s worth it if you can manage these issues and keep a close eye on your earnings and expenses. 3 Likes |
Education / Re: Help!!!, My Sister Is Facing Difficulty With WAEC And NIN Details. by Datbadtguy: 7:03am On Sep 16 |
I'd definitely go with fixing the NIN details to her actual birth date. I had a similar issue with my own documents once, and it was such a hassle to sort out discrepancies later on. It might take some time, but it'll save you from bigger headaches in the future. Adjusting everything to January could lead to even more confusion down the road, especially if her real date of birth comes up in other important situations. It’s worth getting it right now. |
Jokes Etc / Re: Best Whatsapp TV In Nigeria For Advert Placements by Datbadtguy: 6:59am On Sep 16 |
From my experience, THEJOLLYHUB TV was fantastic for ad placements. I got a significant boost in sales and their content is pretty entertaining, which helped get more eyes on my ads. I’d also recommend giving POT TV a shot; they’re solid. JORRA MEDIA has been really dependable for me too. LXG TV and IGTWEETTV are worth trying out as well. |
Travel / Re: Digital Nomad Visa 2024 by Datbadtguy: 7:29pm On Sep 12 |
I’ve looked into the Digital Nomad Visa options, and they’re a fantastic way to blend work and travel. What’s especially appealing are the tax benefits in some countries. For example, Georgia offers a 1-year visa with no taxes for the first 180 days, and even after that, you can get a super low 1% tax rate if you qualify for “Small Business Status.” Bermuda is another great option with no income tax, and you can easily renew the visa after a year. These places are perfect if you want to enjoy a different culture while keeping more of your income. I found a lot of useful information about these destinations from an Indian Travel Blogger, and it really helped me decide on where to go next. Definitely worth checking out if you’re exploring this lifestyle. 1 Like |
Sports / Re: Your Biggest Win From Betting? by Datbadtguy: 1:02pm On Sep 12 |
To be honest, I’ve never had much luck with betting. Most of the time, I ended up losing more than I ever won. It’s fun for the excitement, but it’s easy to get caught up in chasing losses, especially with sports betting. I tried different strategies, but none really paid off in the long run. The only decent win I’ve ever had was online. I placed a small bet on a game I didn’t follow closely and surprisingly won around €500. It wasn’t life-changing, but it definitely felt good to get something back. The win came through 789bet, where I had a bit more luck than usual. 1 Like |

Romance / Re: Top 5 Heartwarming Gifts For Her Under ₦5,000, On Valentine’s Day by Datbadtguy: 10:32pm On Sep 04 |
For my boyfriend, I actually ordered a Custom Aluminum Cigar Tube from a site I found under Groomsmen gifts, and he absolutely loved it. It wasn’t something he expected, and it made the gift even more special. Sometimes, it’s the little, personalized things that matter the most! |
Education / Re: What Is A Contract For Difference (CFD)? by Datbadtguy: 3:27pm On Sep 03 |
CFDs are essentially tools that allow you to speculate on price movements of various assets without actually owning them. The cool thing about CFDs is that they let you profit from both rising and falling markets, giving you a lot of flexibility. However, keep in mind that CFDs come with risks, especially due to leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. One important aspect to consider is the tax implications. For example, in the UK, you won't pay stamp duty on CFDs, which can be a significant saving compared to trading actual shares. However, any profits are still subject to capital gains tax, so it’s essential to be aware of your tax obligations. If you're curious to dive deeper into this, you might want to read more about the tax treatment of CFDs. |
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Datbadtguy: 12:20pm On Sep 03 |
I’ve had my own travel struggles with Canada and found it tough to get specific advice. Having a dedicated spot for tourism-related questions sounds like it’ll be super helpful. I’m sure people with first-hand experience will jump in to help out. Feel free to ask anything—sharing tips and info can make a big difference! |
Business / Re: Beautify Your Homes/offices With Our Beautiful Mirrors and wall frames by Datbadtguy: 9:28pm On Sep 02 |
I recently moved into a new house and was looking to decorate it with something unique. I came across some Framed Wall Art Prints that really caught my eye. I ended up ordering two—one with a Blue Sea Horse Print and another with a Vintage Illustration of Grapes Art Print. Each one was around 80 USD, and the quality was impressive. The colors were vibrant, and the framing was solid, making them perfect for adding a touch of personality to the rooms. The size was just right, and they really stood out on the walls. |
Nairaland / General / Re: The Ultimate Guide: How To Hire A Virtual Assistant by Datbadtguy: 8:54pm On Sep 02 |
I run a small online business, and hiring a virtual assistant has been a huge help. I went with a Boost VA Virtual Assistant and chose their standard plan, which gives me 40 hours of support per month for $387. The VA handles tasks like email management, lead generation, and social media scheduling, which has saved me a ton of time and allowed me to focus on growing my business. The most noticeable improvement has been in my social media presence—my engagement has increased, and my posts are consistently scheduled without me having to worry about it. The VA also helped with keyword research and link building, which boosted my website’s visibility. |
