Anyone ever been there? I had a dream last night that I was in Lagos, decided to check my email and instinctively started checking my baiter emails as well. The guy next to me looked at my screen and then shouted something in Nigerian. Everyone stood up, starting to move tward me and I said "Oh shit"

Then it ended. Pretty funny eh?

I'm surprised anybody in the internet café understood him. Shocked

Your reply confused me, so I googled Nigeria. Didn't realise English was the official language. You'd think they'd be better...

^^^^ There are over 500 languages spoken in Nigeria. None of them is "Nigerian." Wink

I once dreamt I met my favourite lad at his home town in North Ghana...
inviting him over to a Lipton Ice tea with no sugar...
...brothers in arms (in the Mark Knopfler sense), discussing Ken Follett and football...
...changing the subject over to internet investors, personality forms, microcredit schemes or his fake company...
...mentioning that we could have been good friends in another world...
...then discussing about Plato´s Symposion, where several thoughts and ideas about "love" were exchanged in a cafe atmosphere (mutatis mutandis)...
...oh well, then I told him joyfully that all people from Almaniya he had been talking to were all me (and the rest were a fellow baiter), and that I am so grateful for my hats and all the fun and that Dan the lotto man wasn´t such a bad guest at his house after all...

...suddenly I realized how quiet it had become.

His large family gathered around us...
...someone switched off the cafe lights...

...then I woke up. Cool

Maybe I should not tell him after all. It could spoil our friendship.

The day I dream about lads will be the day I give up baiting.

That is, unless, it's like a Terminator dream - me just totally invincible, walking into cyber-cafes with a helicopter gun and blowing everything away.

Has scambaiting ever felt like this?

Finally, it´s the head of them all, Usman Bello. Laughing

Now, you know you're not supposed to mention that name here...

My dream last night included a trophy package mailed to me by a lad. Unfortunately, the delivery guy didn't understand that it was a bait, and he insisted on telling the sender that I had gotten it.

This is something I just found, and I didnt want to start another topic.

Cat turns into woman in P/Harcourt - 5 killed as cultists clash http://www.tribune.com.ng/22052008/news/news2.html

This is the mindset of the people we deal with?

Quote:

Nigerian Tribune gathered from sources around UNIPORT that the clash, which led to the loss of lives and injury to others, was between two cult groups; Vikings and Black Axe Confraternity, a spill over of the struggle between the two cult groups on the RSUST campus, Port Harcourt.

No. We deal with scammers. This article is about something unrelated to 419 but happens to be about Nigerians. "Nigerian" and "scammer" are not interchangeable. Evil or Very Mad

Full quote of above message removed - it can be seen^^^ - SB

Mindset is everything it seems..

A bit of history on Nigeria for all to explore..

In 1974, the Nigerian government decided to initiate a "Third National Nigerian Development Plan", intended to bring the country in a single leap into line with most developed Western nations.

The planners calculated that to build the new roads, airfields, and military buildings which the plan required would call for 20 million tons of cement.

This was duly ordered and shipped by freighters from all over the world, to be unloaded at Lagos docks.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian planners had not considered the fact that the Lagos docks were only capable of handling two thousand tons a day.

Working every day, it would have taken 27 years just to unload the ships that were at one point waiting offshore at Lagos.

These ships contained one third of the worlds supply of cement, much of it showing it's fine quality by setting up in the hold of the freighters.

Actually, it wasn't down to a bad decision. They only needed 2.9million tons, but nobody was going to make any money out of that so the orders were inflated for private profit.

For bad decision read "Corruption"

what is wrong with Nigeria = heads up when money is called for, doesn’t mean all of the good people of that corrupt free model of African self sufficiency are involved

I thought we were supposed to talk about our bad dreams we might have with baiting baiting being responsible Smile

^^^^ Send him to read this "interesting" article on dreams you found.

I once tried to read this. He'll never bring it up again.

Thanks, Rackham Very Happy

To be totally honest with you, I don't like pdf's. They are slow and I'm busy (with lads of course). Is that one worth waiting?

Master Baiter Joined: 05 May 2008 Posts: 104

I wouldn't bother yourself, just give him the link. Its a PDF copy of Freuds book, and at 212 pages, its a real doozy.

Thanks for telling, Rackham. You never know when you need the wisdom of good ol' Sigmund, for baiting purposes that is Wink

I've had some dreams about baiting, but the only one that involved my being in Nigeria was this: I'm walking down a sidewalk in Lagos, and looking at all of the people, and wondering how many of them were "lads".

Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 6:12 pm

Folks, this thread had stayed on topic until a few posts about baiting. Please keep in mind that General Chat is for topics that are not baiting related, and let's keep to the topic. Talking about dreaming of lads is okay, but posting letters from your lads isn't. Those belong in the scambaiting forum. Very Happy
