Thanks guys for all your helpful responses. This misadventure ended up costing me over $5,000 to get new tickets for 4 persons after spending 3 additional days back and forth the airport

I am a Canadian Permanent Resident currently vacationing in Nigeria.

I have a return flight to Canada next week. My Interirary is from MMA Lagos to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in France to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) in Germany and finally to YYZ in Canada

Please do I need a transit visa for this trip as a Canadian Permanent Resident?
If yes, anyway I could get the transit visa in a few days before my return next week?

I’m certain you don’t know that it’s a blessing that your dad is heaping on his head from your grandma. Good bless your father, and I hope you’re learning from him

Tell your friend that his sister is mischievous and trying to damage your marriage to your wife and relationship with other neighbours. Tell him that your wife has decided that no friends come to the house going forward until these issues are resolved.

You can always meet your best friend outside your home.

Your wife is a responsible woman and has made the right decision. If she continues association with that woman, you’d be here next year saying women are scum or that you’re divorced.

You can choose your wife and respect her decision and have peace or choose your best friend and his irresponsible sister and make your peaceful home a circle of crisis!

Given the hard and harsh economic times we all find ourselves in, I have been moved to share some token that would help the Needy get by at least for a day. The aim is to help a Needy family get atleast a meal for the day, I consider this like the Manna which God provided for His Israelite children for their daily sustenance.

I find it hard to determine the criteria for identifying the Needy, therefore recipients will be picked randomly like a lottery.

Anyone else with an idea or thoughts on how to truly identify the Needy? I will truly appreciate that. Thoughts on how to make this more transparent will also be welcomed.
I am hopeful to God that I can continue to do this on an unpredictable regular interval, as God continues to shine his light on all of us.

Before we get started, I'd like us to suggest how to make this process transparent, the best way to identify those who truly need this little cash and prevent fraud.

May God continue to richly bless you all. Amen.

It’s funny how the presidency abi crazidency just listed mostly policy statements and plans as achievement.

I’ve never seen this kind of desperation by a government to portray before its citizens that they are successful and progressive, while all the indicators of a progressive and successful nation are pointing downwards - we’re simply at rock bottom amongst nations.

Baba thanks for bursting his real identity, as I’m too busy chasing shitty things. He sent me an email apologizing for scamming me and said he regretted his actions. Its shameful that’s what he does here, as he has different names for his scamming business. It’s funny people don’t know how this thing called destiny could be ruined for very little things - People should learn from the experience of Esau and Jacob in the bible. Since he feels the 5k is worth his destiny, he can keep it.

You've just allowed yourself to be scammed. You should've run a check on that account to see it's a new one before sending any money. The scammer just rushed and opened a new account with Cpossibi'l'lity (double L) to scam you. Please I'm not the one you sent the money. I wonder why people are these terrible.

The scammer didn’t have to do that, he could have simply asked and get his own, without being a criminal. People who have a choice to get something legitimately should rather not resort to criminality to get it. Our mentality is really weird.

Cpossibility:


Please wire 5k to which account? I didn't send you any account details.

Hahahahaha. Whose this @Cpossibility?
Scammers are already on the prowl….?

Any person blaming the OP has a heart disposition like the posters wicked friend.

There is something called trust, do not blame the person who trusts, but the one who betrays trust.
Our mindset as Nigerians is super weird.

What a friend did to me last week.

Just like in my case, so many graduates in the country are today, traumatized, depressed or even suicidal. Nothing is more depressing than seeing oneself jobless after several years of graduation. More annoying is when there's no finance to even start a business no matter how brilliant the business idea could be. If I have capital or even a collateral to use and get some money somewhere, I would rest completely from job hunting.

My ordeal.
Few months ago, I stumbled on a friend on Facebook whom we were school mates back in secondary school. His parents resided outside the state which he normally came back on school resumption and would go back during holidays.

On meeting him on Facebook, taking a look at his pictures, he's obviously doing well and claimed he's working with an international NGO. I told him my pains which is unemployment. Immediately, he was happy and telling me not to worry again that with his connections here and there, I'll get a job. His promise was to fix me either in the NGO, an insurance company, factory work or any other place of which he has links and connections.

We talked extensively and negotiated my movement and arrived I should come over last week. The plans was to stay in his 2 bedroom apartment and until 3-4 months when I can rent my own place. So I moved from Rivers state to Lagos Monday last week with just 16k on me. En route Lagos, we were keeping in touch so to know how closer I am and until I got to Lagos (God is Good Motors park) around 8pm. I called him that I have arrived the park and he said he was coming to pick me.

Long story short, that was the last time his number went. Initially, I thought it was network, or may be temporary low battery. I kept dialling the number through out the night but it never went again. Of course I had no choice than to sleep in the park. Woke up the next morning hoping his number would go but still same. I had no body else in Lagos nor knowing any where as that was my first time in Lagos. So I was just roaming around the park the whole day like a lost sheep, hungry, frustrating and pains but still hoping for his call but none came. When I tried reaching via Facebook and realized I was blocked, that was when it dawned on me that I have to start going back immediately. Already, transport fare from PH to Lagos finished about N10,500. So I was left with about 4k on me. At that point in the evening, I knew my best bet as I said earlier was to find my way back immediately but I didn't even have enough cash for my return. I had no option than to start telling people about my predicament and appealed for help to raise fund to return home the next morning. I was mocked and laughed at while some were asking to buy my phone at a very ridiculous amount. But then at that point, I could have sold it at the ridiculous amount but the phone was the only medium of communication with people especially my mum who was already worried over the journey right from the onset. I kept approaching people to help me and until one man graciously completed the money for me and I paid for my return.

On reaching home, I did nothing than thanking God that at least my case wasn't like that of late Iniobong Umoren. At least I came back home alive...which is the most important thing. But what I don't understand is why the guy chose to be that wicked to me forgetting this world is a very small place. I mean if there was never a job, why did he have to put me through that? Anyways, I have since moved on. Not even swearing/cursing him but leave everything for God. Such is life!

Fellow nairalanders, that is the dairy of a Nigerian job seeker. This leave me with the question, "will Nigeria ever be good for ordinary Nigerian?"

I felt bad and touched about your story. He’s not your friend anyways. No matter what or how you may have offended him in the past, the worst a wicked person who wants to pay you back in your own coin could do, is to decline to help, rather than bringing you so far and excommunicated you - that was beyond wicked.
Like many persons have already said, take it as blessing in disguise.
Anyone who blames you on this your experience is similar or even worse that your supposed wicked friend.

Send me your bank account details make I mellow your mind small - you need a positive attitude and mind ahead of your new week.

I don wire you 5k make you use relax your mind and try to move on.

24 years?

Nigeria’s problem is very easy to figure out and solve. However, the major reason why it’s impossible to resolve its challenges is because of trust issues among the tribes. Everyone lives in suspicion of the other and sees the other as an impediment to their growth and success.

Presider not President

What are Nigerians to expect on your return? CONTINUITY!!!

Akiko

With our enormous wealth and natural endowments, It’s quite disheartening that we Nigerians are still this kind of conversation in the 21st century, and the country is still calm

He’s not fallen

Hmm

Company no send you

You are really the problem Bros.
If you’re a responsible man, your wife should not be having problems with your own mum, but she don see you finish to figure out say calling your mum mumu for your presence will only bring you to Nairaland beer parlour.

Better start summoning your family and in-laws in a bid to reconcile your wife and mum, before your mum go lay curse on your head.

Omihanifa:
How did she arrive at that point that your mother is fetish?

Do you guys always notice any strange occurrence after giving your mother money ?

If your answer to the second question is YES, I will advice you to experiment with what she said. Give her the money and let her send it to her by herself.

Don't just discard her observations yet until you have a strong evidence that she's wrong.

That's my own opinion tho

Holding to her opinion is already pitching him against his mum. Some women are bad, but not for a total stranger(your wife) who barely knew her for a few years to come and convince me that a woman whom I’ve known and supported me for decades is suddenly fetish in a few years.

You married a bad wife, she’s the one who’s fetish and serving you fetishizes.

If you’ve always been sending your mum money yourself, it’s condescending to have your wife start doing that on your behalf.

Talking about fetishizes, your mum may be fetish - yes even if she is - she’s used those fetishizes for your good, that’s why you could earn to support her.

Don’t you think: for your wife to discover her fetishizes, your wife is also a fetish woman?

Bodyodour:
must you quote everything? Wetin dey do una for head sometimes.

Na your Bodyodour gey do me for head

The way Nigeria is setup right now, it should be seen as a huge breakthrough

If only they had this little light called HOPE, they would remain and try to find their place.
I am yet to see a country that is not at war, but worse than a war ravaged country
