For Skeggles and Slowalk. Nigerian Embassy Interview
[QUOTE=Slowalk;2372340]I'm wondering when you applied for a visa, did you have to interview at a Nigerian Embassy?[/QUOTE]It has happened to me in 2016 at the Nigerian Embassy Rome.
They invited me for a kind of exam in front of a commission of three. The exam was in English, with a lot of questions: purpose of the travel, people that I know there, gifts that I was carrying, itinerary, and so on.
They gave me the chance to be bribed by me, when they saw from my passport that I was many times in Ghana. "Sir, so many travels to Ghana, you have a lot of money, plenty money, mmmh you have money, money, money. " looking into my eyes smiling.
At the end they stamped on my file the sentence "Unwished visitor" and told me that there was no reason for me to go to Nigeria or was hiding something to them. The visa fee was not refunded.
On the following year I gave all the papers to a Nigerian person and didn't go at all to the embassy. With a good bribe (250 Euro) I got my visa in 10 days.
For Skeggles. No Money But Honey
[QUOTE=Skeggles;2373610]I'll be back to Nigeria shortly so I will also update. But from the first experience its open slather everywhere you go. I read something saying the women don't want to hang out with white guys as they might be considered as hookers by other people. My short experience tells me exactly the opposite. The women have zero fear about calling you over or approaching you everywhere. And since my mates call me Shrek you can guess I ain't a Brad Pit or Johnny Depp look alike.[/QUOTE]I agree with you 100% about getting approached everywhere in a Nigerian city. Every girls were greeting me, smiling on me, flashing their eyes, commenting, . Finally I decided to answer to all these signals and easy achieved the asset.
About the title you gave to your original post, well I don't feel me to be on the same mind: there is always a transfer of money but what is wrong with it if the amount is not outrageous? 6000 to rarely 10000 N.
Digital Game & Cleaner Story
[QUOTE=Skeggles;2375686]Well. I am back in Nigeria.
What I don't get, being very old school myself, is the digital game where you will be had by the girls.
They come to you. Its on in any mid range bar. Of course she is not miss world but she could be a really nice person.
The cleaner this morning for example. I need to think about how to compose this tale. OMG.[/QUOTE]Hey man, please do tell the story of your cleaner. Seems interesting. I've been a similar situation as well.
Per the digital game, it's just another avenue to find interested partners. Unlike some other countries, Nigeria doesn't really have notable online agencies and most of the action takes place like you rightly said, in bars, lounges, clubs and hotel bars. However, with social media, there's a growing number of providers that use various platforms to advertise.
I think Nigeria is still a "boots on the ground" type of arena, but for those that might be looking for a certain type of provider, that's where social media comes in handy.
