Woodstock Groundhog Days
In 1992, something astonishing happened in the historic city of Woodstock, Illinois. People came to town and roped off the picturesque city square, moved all sorts of equipment into the park and started playing the Pennsylvania Polka, over and over and over again. They were filming a movie that has become a favorite of young and old for more than 20 years, and the city gathers each year to remember the fun and celebrate the special community that Woodstock has always been. There are events for everyone during this celebration: Groundhog trivia, free viewing of "Groundhog Day" at the movie theater, walking tours of the film sites, a Chili cook-off, a dinner and dance, bowling, and pancake breakfasts. The main event for Groundhog Day is the annual prognostication. Gather on the Woodstock Square to see Woodstock Willie emerge from his tree trunk home. If he sees his shadow, it means there will be 6 more weeks of winter and if he doesn't see his shadow, it means we will have an early Spring.

Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Soup
9 comments:
- AnonymousDecember 30, 2011
when do you add the greens?ReplyDelete
Thanks-- good catch. They are added with the broth and veggies-- recipe edited.
Hi Nicole, I'm surprised you can get many people to eat black-eyed peas with you in Chicago. I would never have eaten them as a farm girl in Indiana. But now that I'm in Texas, we will definitely be eating them--with a dime hidden in the pot. Did y'all do that too?ReplyDelete
Fortunately, my family loves black-eyed peas:) As far as the dime in the pot-- haven't heard of that one, but the Polish side of my family showers with a coin in the shower for luck. All strange (and fun) customs. Happy New Year!
This is the South in a bowl. I can't wait to try this. Wishing you a Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
The amount of greens in the recipe seems enormous! But I made this today and I added all 12 ounces, and it was just right.ReplyDelete
- flygyrl72January 01, 2013
Making this right now! Can't wait to taste it!ReplyDelete
I tripled the carrots and celery; the extra ccarrots made it very slightly sweet. Very happy with the results, with one exception.ReplyDelete
Cooking the smoked ham hocks I used for an hour is not long enough for them to come apart. You should probably simmer them for 2 hours in the broth before adding them to the recipe. That way they will fall apart and the broth will be thicker.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love hearing from family, friends, and bloggers, so please leave a comment. Happy cooking!

Putting the Iron into the Iron Age continued...
More from Ian:
Monday: Following yesterday's success, we created a new bloom. The bloomery was acting differently today, possibly due to the difference in humidity, and the fact that it had dried out more. Again it was a success, although the bloom separated into three pieces. Today I was able to combine my work with school parties with the iron smelting, giving the children a chance to see how the iron objects in the Celtic Village were made. Andrew was able to work one of the smaller blooms into pieces of iron
Putting the Iron into the Iron Age
Over at St Fagans National History Museum, blacksmith Andrew Murphy and Celtic Village interpreter Ian Daniel, helped by Heulwen Thomas, set out to produce an iron object from ore. Can they really get the sword from the stone (or even a small pocket knife?)
Ian takes up the story:
Saturday: With the threat of rain looming, we started early to make the most of a dry spell; hoping the weather would remain kind we started on the base of the blomery. The day before, we had moved all of the tools and the great bellows to the village so we could concentrate on the construction.
The building took most of the day, using a mud, hay and sand mix over a lightly-woven greenwood frame. By four o'clock, we had completed the structure, and lit a fire inside to speed the drying process; for the rest of the day, we fed the fire and hoped that it wouldn't rain too heavily in the night
Sunday: The day of the smelt, and today we had some extra help from Hywel, Phillip and Craig, all of them museum assistants. The weather promised to be much better, which helped the outer wall of the bloomery to dry naturally. After lighting the fire, we got to work breaking up the heamatite ore into smaller pieces; all of us shared the job, with one person always working the bellows.
Soon it was time to add the charcoal, then we built up the iron ore and charcoal in layers until it was full. Then it was mainly bellows work, and patching up the bloomery walls as they began to crack, which funnily enough, is a good sign!
After four hours of bellows work, Andy checked the base of the bloomery by opening up the entrance of the tapping arch to see if any slag had formed, and tapped it to see if it had become molten. Soon, we extracted some of the slag and a large bloom of glowing iron, which we cooled in water
After it cooled down, we examined it, and there seemed to be a strong possibility that we had produced Iron - I must admit, it was a very proud moment for me to have taken part in this, and everyone seemed pleased at the result.
When it had cooled enough, we were able to show it to the visitors, whose interest had been growing throughout the day. Many of them came back more than once to see our progress, which was nice.
So all in all, a very successful day!
Mammoth fun in the Ice Age
National Archaeology Week 2008 is under way at National Museum Wales, and at three NMW sites, visitors have been getting arty like cave-dwellers, writing like Romans, helping to sort out a medieval pottery's rejects and witnessing the technology that put the Iron into the Iron Age.
And all in the first five days!
At National Museum Cardiff, families joined Ken Brassil and Bethan Jones for Cave Art workshops.
"The cave art weekend was a great success. The visitors became their very own cave men and women for the weekend, exploring the new Origins gallery, studying traditional cave paintings and the animals before stepping back through time in to our Evolution of Wales exhibition, where they were able to experience what life may have been like in a damp dark cave....
The families sketched the animals found around that time before heading back to the present to create their art from the sketches they'd made. The children were able to use and experience similar materials to those their ancestors would have used: stone, wood and even bones. I think using the bones to draw with was everyone's favourite, especially mine!
A really fun-packed weekend. I was very impressed with the amount of sculpture made as well as drawings. Good job every one, including the parents and grandparents, for getting stuck in!"
"National Archaeology Week kicked off in Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Cardiff with the latest take on Ice Age art created by seriously enthusiastic families of South Walians and super visitors from Quebec City too.
We explored the Palaeolithic zone of the new archaeology galleries and sought out the robotic mammoths in the Evolution of Wales Gallery as catalysts for making clay figures ... to take home.
The mini figures we created made up for the (almost total) absence of Ice Age art from Wales....Mini mammoths were the most popular creation. Some of the seniors modelled hybrid rhino-mammoths, even a cold loving turtle. One family brought their teddy bear mascot to keep company with our museum specimen bear-skull from Tian Shan, China!
If the participants had decided not to take their animals home, then we would need to add two new cases to our new archaeology gallery to accommodate Ice Age Art: Class of 2008 .... Congratulations to you artist-archaeologists....
Welcome to the National Archaeology Week (NAW) blog!
Every year, National Archaeology Week is co-ordinated by the Council for British Archaeology, an educational charity working throughout the UK to involve people in archaeology and to promote the appreciation and care of the historic environment for the benefit of present and future generations. There are events all over England and Wales, and some in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and there is a full list on their website at www.nationalarchaeologyweek.org.uk
This is what the CBA says about the event:
"National Archaeology Week is your unique chance to discover and explore the archaeological heritage of the United Kingdom. During this nine day event, which will run from 12th-20th July, you can take part in excavation open days, hands-on activities, family fun days, guided tours, exhibitions, lectures, ancient art and craft workshops and much, much more".
This year, we have events in all of those categories at National Museum Wales, and if you can't get to any of them, hopefully you can get a flavour of them through this blog.
And if you were there, and want to know what happened after you left, this is your chance to find out!
Did the bloomery actually produce any iron? Did we manage to reconstruct any medieval pots?

Before Modell's opened in Queens my dad would take me to the big store in Manhattan. Modell's carried a lot of Army surplus equipment which was great for camping supplies. Low prices.
Anybody remember Davega? They sold sporting goods as well as TVs and radios.
There was a Davega on Main St. Flushing where I bought a number of items over the years. They also had a special section devoted to the Boy Scouts of America such as uniforms, badges, handbooks, etc.
I believe there was also a Davegas on Jamaica Ave. I bought my first bowling ball there. I think Modells took over many of the Davega stores when they ran into trouble.
Pomonoker, You are right. The store I remember on Jamaica Ave.was Modell/Davega.They had a bunch of army surplus rifles there from all over the world,and they sold them dirt cheap.
Bought my 1st pair of $10 High Top Black Converse there

No assistance from Skoosh
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I booked a room over the internet from Skoosh website for Edison hotel in New York in March-08. I paid for the booking online at the time of booking and I did so with the credit card of my partner, who was accompanying me for the stay. Skoosh sent me an email with the confirmed reservation number, both guests names on the email and the details of the room. As I was at an internet cafe at that time where they did not have a printer, I could not print out a page but I noted down the reservation on my diary.
When we arrived at the Edison hotel, they notified us that there wasn't any booking under my partners name (which we thought we provided for tax purposes as the room was paid by his card). We provided the hotel with the reservation number but they said that there isn't any reservation under that number either. We were asked to keep a credit card imprint so we can go back to our room and they can sort out the issue hopefully by the next day when we were to check out. As we were tired, we agreed and went to bed for the night.
The next morning during check out, we were notified that they could not find the booking and therefore the credit card number we provided the night before were being charged for our stay. They told us to get in touch with Skoosh and to get Skoosh to contact them so they can sort out the issue.
Upon contacting Skoosh they looked into the issue and informed us that they can not refund us the money as the booking was made by me and therefore was on my name.
I feel that Skoosh had both of our names on their record (both as guests and the credit card) so they should have provided both names to the hotel. Besides, their reservation number was not a valid number and the hotel staff could not locate the booking. Skoosh should have provided more info to the hotel and try to resolve the issue by refunding the money as they did not provide enough information to the hotel.
I would be very interested to hear anyone else's bad experience with Skoosh and also any basis for a legal complaint for this event.

Ben There on 04/19/2008:
Did you ask the hotel staff to see if there was a reservation under your name? Did you attempt to contact Skoosh at some point while you were still at the hotel? As you did not have a printout, did you consider you had the Skoosh confirmation number and not the one for the hotel? Maybe Skoosh could have told you that if you had called. I am sure Skoosh needs a way to reference your booking, and it is probably not the same as the hotel. I have never booked with Skoosh, but I do know that hotels often make reservations under a "lead name", and they will collect the rest at check in. While you can't be "blamed" for not knowing how hotels create reservations with only one name and that there can be multiple confirmation numbers, with a little effort on your part you could have saved yourself from being double billed.
Thom123 on 04/13/2009:
So I try different online Hotel booking companies all the time. For the first time I thought I would try Skoosh. Never again will I spend my money on them and neither should you unless you want to be disappointed, even if they are cheaper. Every other company I have dealt with online charges me what the Hotel charges and the final bill I get at the end of my stay is exactly what the online company charges me, there is NO difference. Well, Skoosh thought it would be cute to over charge me. Skoosh charges me $125 for a one night stay at a nice Hotel in October 2008. Well when I got there the Hotel staff told me I was way over charged and that the Hotel stay was only going to be $93. They were shocked, I was shocked. After asking Skoosh to please refund the difference of the two amounts, they basically said too bad we can't do that. I gave them ample opportunity to give great customer service and refund the difference, especially since EVERY OTHER online company has the same charges as the final bill as other Hotels I've been to. So this has been a terrible experience with Skoosh and will spread the word as much as I can with as many online review sites as I can. Skoosh, you did the wrong thing, you know it, own up to it, and you know who I am with the amount of info in this complaint. I encourage and hope others will stay far away from Skoosh and also post bad experiences all over the internet. Bad business practice, bad customer service.
Spencer on 02/06/2013:
I have used Booking.com and Expedia.com, among many other on-line hotel booking services, but have NEVER seen what the "hotel rate" or billing rate for that date actually was on my bill, even though I have asked many times for that information. They always say.."We have no idea what you paid them, or what they paid us" so I personally have to question what Thom123 wrote..VERY unlike my numerous experiences!

I used Skoosh.com to book a hotel reservation in Colchester VT. I was skeptical, having never heard of Skoosh.com prior. However, hotels in the area were booked up and I was desperate for a room for this specific date. After book the hotel, a month prior to the date, I was nervous so I called the hotel. The hotel had no reservation in my name and was booked up for the date intended. I then called Skoosh customer service. The kind woman on the phone assured me that the hotel would not have my name until 72 hours prior, although they had the room reserved.
Three days prior to my hotel stay, I again attempted to confirm my reservation with the hotel. They did not have my reservation. The reservation number that Skoosh.com had given me was not valid either. I emailed Skoosh.com and did not receive a reply for 36 hours, after several calls. I called the Skoosh booking agent in NY who did contact the hotel and eventually was able to clear up the mess and get us a room. There was no one available at the Skoosh.com customer service phone number in the off hours. I was extremely disappointed with customer service and failed execution of my hotel reservation.

If it was down to the wire, why didn't you contact the hotel to begin with? I personally would never use a third-party booking site. Too many chances for something like this to happen.
Either way, sorry for the frustration, and at least you got your room!

Overpaid for Bookings
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- In late February 2008, my wife and I decided
to take a driving trip through the Southwest. We decided to do all the booking on our own rather than take a tour.
We booked on line reservations for Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Sedona and Las Vegas, When we went on line; we found a company called Skoosh.com that claimed they could provide bookings for us. They advertised that they will beat most prices offered either on line or direct so we didn't question the price they quote ($252.00 / night).
When we arrived at the Grand Canyon Maswick Lodge, the desk clerks claimed we had no booking under our name. They search for twenty minutes and found nothing. I suggested they look for variation on our last name and 10 minutes later they came back to tell us that we did have a booking with a really screwed up last name. They then asked us why we were charged $252.00 / night when the highest rate ever charged in season was $163.00 + tax. They couldn't fathom that anyone would charge that much money. Clearly they implied that we were ripped off.
Subsequent discussions with the Reservations resulted in a lot of apologies but no financial remuneration. I even offered to meet them halfway but they refused.
I am in the process of taking the matter up through various agencies both State and Federal
to get some relief in this situation.
P.S. They are based in London but you would never know it. They apparently book through an organization in NY

I just read through their web pages and nowhere did I find any guarantee of lower rates. They are not hiding the fact that they are not US based. Reading the Terms shows that once a booking is complete they wash their hands of the whole deal. They screwed you over.
Hugh_Jorgen on 06/17/2008:
Why do people assume that just because you have a web site you are legitimate and will always offer the best price?
We see it here everyday - to get the best rates on airfare, hotels and car rentals, book direct. Yes, it's more work, but what is a few hours of your time worth?
Skoosh.com on 07/15/2008:
My name is Reuben and I work for skoosh.com.
We have tried to talk to Mr Kirshner however he was not willing to understand the situation. We pay the hotel for the room at a price they set, he agreed to the price when booking. In fact he checked the prices on kayak before arriving at our site and I can only assume that we had the cheapest price. I feel it is also worth pointing out that Mr. Kirshner had booked other hotels through us, one at 50% less than the hotels own walk in rate. While we never guarantee that we are the cheapest we often are and I would always recommending checking kayak.com if you are booking on price alone.
Skoosh.com on 07/15/2008:
PassingBy.. I would like to thank you for your comments regarding low rate guarantees and the fact that we are in the UK. These are both true.
I do however take exception to your views regarding that our terms say we will 'wash their hands of the whole deal'.
We pride ourselves on our customer service and thou I understand that Mr Kirshner did not feel he got a fair deal we did provide the accommodation requested at the agreed price. All of our after sales care is true and fair and if we do look at every case on its own merits.
Anonymous on 07/15/2008:
Skoosh.com, then why not just give Unhappylew back the over charges? It is very clear that you way over charged since the hotel's walk in rate was only $163.00. You have been caught with your hand in the cookie jar so to speak so just do the right and honorable thing now and give him his US$100.00 back.
Skoosh.com on 07/18/2008:
Superbowl, Thank you for your comments, In case I wasn't clear before let me out line the way that booking companies work with hotels and why this situation was not us 'being caught with our hand in the cookie jar'.
Please read below for one of the many responses that were sent, by one of my colleagues, to the customer regarding this issue.
'Hotels do have a selected number of rooms which they offer to wholesale companies, who then chose to sell on to third party companies like ourselves, who also deal with the customer service aspect of the process. Hotels, more often than not, offer these rooms at considerable cheaper rates in order to secure a set allocation of sales not only during seasonally busy periods but also low peak periods. Please also bear in mind that these prices, as well as the ones offered directly to guests by the hotel are subject to change and often do so in correlation with the demand or sometimes lack of demand for them.
Skoosh or any other company will not guarantee that they are offering the lowest rate available and will only ever advertise their most competitive rate, which is one of the reason why the high majority of companies who work in the same way as us do not work with a price promise guarantee.
As my colleague vaguely outlined in his original email to you, the large majority of hotels are known to drop their walk in rate on the day of arrival if they still have rooms available. As you can understand, this, and the rate that hotel offer is something that is truly out of Skooshâs control.'
Another thing that we openly write on our site is
'Prices change depending on a whole range of factors so it's not possible to predict. Some hotels offer their best rates far in advance then raise them as rooms fill up. Others leave their rates high until the last minute and then drop them. Our recommendation is to book when you see a price which suits you at the time. '
If the price of the hotel was higher than the guest would not have been asked to pay extra at check in.When a guest makes a booking with us we enter a contract with the hotel for the rate agreed and obviously this contract must be honored.
jktshff1 on 07/18/2008:
Just goes to show...book direct, not half the hassle.
Anonymous on 07/18/2008:
And I quote from the online Skoosh faq.
"Q. Is it cheaper to book with Skoosh rather than direct with the hotel?
A. We have negotiated special rates with all the hotels that we offer - up to 50% off. "
Mr. Skoosh.com stated "'Hotels do have a selected number of rooms which they offer to wholesale companies, who then chose to sell on to third party companies like ourselves'"
The FAQ states you negotiate deals with the Hotels yet your comment indicates you buy the rooms third party from a wholesale company. That hardly sounds like you're negotiating with hotels in fact it sounds like your wholesaler ripped you off and in turn you passed that screwing on down the line. Dress it up as you like your baby is still ugly.
redroy on 07/18/2008:
Skoosh.com on 07/18/2008:
Hello LoisMustDie. I would actually agree with you that our FAQ's could be misleading. When this was written we were predominantly working directly with hotels in Europe.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will look into rewriting this.
We now work with a combination of third party suppliers and direct contracts. In both cases the hotels set and update the rates we then add a standard markup (which pays for our advertising and website maintenance). Some hotels will lower prices nearer check in to fill the empty rooms, some will raise them if there is a greater demand.
If people prefer to go to the hotel direct it is open choice. I would always advise checking rates with numerous sources.
tnchuck100 on 07/18/2008:
You got to hand it to Rueben. He is in here doing some serious damage control. Skoosh is no different than Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotels.com, or any of the other "get your money, make a hap-hazard reservation, hang the customer out to dry" website.
Anonymous on 07/18/2008:
So Mr Skoosh.com by your own admission you acknowledge that the Skoosh website misrepresented the service that your company sold to the OP. That being the case then compensation is called for here.
Anonymous on 07/18/2008:
LMD is correct. I hope you follow up with 'unhappylew' and make good on your misleading information. It's because of situations like lew's that cause consumers to become more and more skeptical of using these types of 'services.'
dan gordon on 09/23/2008:
I used skoosh.com to book a candadian hotel. I'm a travel agent and I called the hotel direct so they would not match the price. When I checked in they did have the room but if I wanted to upgrade to a high floor they would charge $20. I went for that deal and evertything was fine. Skoosh gave me a 5% discount. Everything was fine and Skoosh offered a rate I couldn't have gotten directly.
Thom123 on 01/28/2009:
So I try different online Hotel booking companies all the time. For the first time I thought I would try Skoosh. Never again will I spend my money on them and neither should you unless you want to be disappointed, even if they are cheaper. Every other company I have dealt with online charges me what the Hotel charges and the final bill I get at the end of my stay is exactly what the online company charges me, there is NO difference. Well, Skoosh thought it would be cute to over charge me. Skoosh charges me $125 for a one night stay at a nice Hotel in October 2008. Well when I got there the Hotel staff told me I was way over charged and that the Hotel stay was only going to be $93. They were shocked, I was shocked. After asking Skoosh to please refund the difference of the two amounts, they basically said too bad we can't do that. I gave them ample opportunity to give great customer service and refund the difference, especially since EVERY OTHER online company has the same charges as the final bill as other Hotels I've been to. So this has been a terrible experience with Skoosh and will spread the word as much as I can with as many online review sites as I can. Skoosh, you did the wrong thing, you know it, own up to it, and you know who I am with the amount of info in this complaint.
I encourage and hope others will stay far away from Skoosh and also post bad experiences all over the internet. Bad business practice, bad customer service.
Ben There on 01/28/2009:
I have found that booking through third party sites can save you lots of money on international trips or last minute trips. On my recent trip to Germany I saved almost $500 booking through a site I found through Kayak than if I had booked directly with the same hotel, and my rate included breakfast and booking direct did not. Also, the direct rate was a nonrefundable rate and mine allowed refunds less fees until a couple days before I checked in.
I would be stupid to think that the same website would always have the cheapest hotels everywhere in the world, but I do a little thing called shopping around whenever I want to make expensive purchases. I also understand that after I purchase something (be it travel, shoes, a car, etc...), I might find the same thing later for cheaper. That is a fact of life.
moetheshmoe on 04/07/2010:
I found a really good rate for a hotel in Niagara Falls, ON through SKOOSH. When it came time to submitting my credit card information to make the final purchase, the website then claimed there was "No Availability for the dates submitted", even though my original search had provided me with a room and a rate. And my credit card has now been charged, but I don't have a reservation. Why would it prompt me to enter all my information and provide me with a reservation and rate, only to claim that there is no availability and then charge my card???? I would really like some answers about this. I've called and left messages, but still haven't heard back. Very very frustrating
Anonymous on 04/08/2010:
The FAQ also states this:
"Q. If I shop around will I find cheaper rates than Skoosh?
A. At the hotels we offer usually not. At other hotels probably, yes. If you simply want to find the cheapest deal in the city then it may be worth your while to keep looking. As with everything in life you can almost always find something 'similar' cheaper."
I do not see where the OP was scammed. The OP thought the rate fair when he booked it. The fact the he could have gotten it cheaper had he booked directly has no bearing. The website even states what every adult should already be doing: shopping around for the best price.
I fine the hotel's response to the OP problematic. They clearly imply that Skoosh.com overcharged the OP and is somehow in the wrong for making a profit. Which is clearly what the hotel does itself otherwise they would not be in business. What one company charges for its services has no bearing on another.
Personally, when I hear a company down talk another, I refuse to give that company my business. Not only is it unprofessional, but it gives the customers a bad taste with a company that is only giving the consumer what they asked for at the price they agreed to.

A Ripoff Company
Posted by
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA -- BEWARE Skoosh is a company in the uk that our gov.,can't touch there is many complaints about them please do not use this company or their Fl., based tourico holidays they couldn't care less after they get your money. I made a resv., through them my first on line booking and upon arrival at my New Orleans dest., they had a room but not with two beds as confirmed through Skoosh and I did print copies. The hotel said Skoosh only confirmed a one bed room it took me until the second day of our trip to get through to Skoosh's # that is provided on hotel voucher and they said it wasn't their problem. The hotel had a room open up with to beds and we made it through the rest of our trip. However my first night was spent on a loveseat no sleep for the first night.
When I returned and emailed back and forth to Skoosh a person named siri said read the fine print we don't guarantee anything, sorry but will give you 5% off your next booking through us as if that will ever happen! BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

This Place Is A Fraud, We Have Been Charged Numerous Times For Bookings That Never Went Through
Posted by
I believe this company is a fraud. Although they claim to have a US phone number, they don't provide customer service.
Their website stalled on us 3 times when we wanted to make a booking. We were charged each time, although we never got an email to confirm. We will have to dispute the charges through the credit card, since their phone number goes straight to voicemail with nobody calling you back

Information about Lagos, Nigeria. City profile
November 2008
Hi guys,
I need some information about Lagos, Nigeria. I have to go there on a business trip for 2-3 months. Does anybody have any idea about the Law and Order, health and safety condition there.. Any suggestion will be valuable ...
Rahul Sood
November 2008
Hi Rahul
Broadly you'll want to take care when travelling to Lagos. There are several small and start-up business scams cropping up and violent crime such as hijackings and muggings are frequent. Polio, TB and Malaria are dangerous diseases to look out for and you may want to avoid tap water because of the risk of cholera.
I suggest that you have a read information about Lagos through Wordtravels' Nigeria travel guide, (http://www.wordtravels.com/Travelguide/Countries/Nigeria), it will cover all the basics, there are also tips in there to help with understanding business customs in Nigeria, along with a city profile on Lagos.
Good luck with your trip,
November 2008
Thanks Warren ... the information you have provided is realy helpfull ..
November 2008
do you know any information on Central Bank of Nigeria or Benson Ubah?
November 2008
what do you think about the lottery scams on the internet with this country of lago nigeria?
November 2008
I been to Nigeria 3 times, it is not a safe city at all. I would make sure you have friends Nigerian with you any where you go. They can protect you and argue for you. You will definately be a target for them to try to get something out of you (beg). I don't know anything about the bank or scams. But know the scams are a big thing out of Nigeria.
November 2008
Hi Scrappy
What would you like to know about the bank? Here is a link to their website in case it was general information you were looking for (http://www.cenbank.org/IntOps/FXMarket.asp).
The scams in Nigeria take many forms but are easy to spot. Typically they involve a non-existant company, or non-existant branch of an existing company, offering a business deal where they will deposit large amounts of money into your company's bank account provided you split or cover the transfer, or other, fee. There are variations on this, but the general tipping point for you would be their urgent desire to have you send money in their direction before any pens are put to paper. A universal scam avoidance rule is to not buy into any deal which places a time limit on your compliance.
Internet scams where you win a lottery or sweepstakes you have not entered into should be ignored.
November 2008
Thnaks alll the information about Lagos you both have stated is useful. i will definetly look at the bank site and check it out. thanks
November 2008
Thanks guys .. i guess the best thing is to drop the idea fo doing business in nigeria !!!...
November 2008
nigeria is a veary nice cuontry and you have to go ther to what kind of place its. i have been there and i dont regret it.
November 2008
I beleieve you will enjoy your stay in Nigeria, it's a nice African country but with bad leaders just like in other African countries.
One thing that you should understand is that if you are contempted with what you have and you don't look for quick money, you will never fall into any scam. Scam and Scammers are everywhere even in U.S and U.K
Enjoy your stay.

hey friends i am being offered a job out there in lagos city of nigeria. but i am very much concern regarding the safety of mine, and what is the crime level over there please help me out on email@example.com
November 2008
Hi ,I am hoping someone can help me. I met a man on a dating website. He said his mother is from Nigeria.His father is white and died when he was only 5yrs.old.I have been conversing with him for approx.6-8wks.He tells me that he is in love with me. He sounds to be very romantic with a heart of gold. he writes me poems everyday telling me how much he wants us to be together. I wnated to meet him so badly that I offered to pay for his ticket to come spend Thanksgiving with me and my children.I forgot to mention that he is living in Ohio.He had told me his mother was very ill in a hospital in NIgeria. Said they didn't have insurance that he had to send money for them to care for her. Well the week before he was suppose to come he said that his mother passed away,So needless to say he didn't come. He said he was trying to get a flight to Nigeria.He has kept in contact the whole time,telling me that he loves me and that we are meant to be together.
He has also sent me pictures and I do have his phone number. I want so much to see him and see if we can have a relationship. How do I find out if this is a scam relationship? I think I am falling in love with him also.

Hi Piyush
Lagos is a potentially dangerous city but not so much so that it is not inhabitable or to say that one should avoid all travel there. Stick to basic safety principles, avoiding too much activity at night, travelling in groups etc. Read the local media and familiarise yourself with criminal trends and crime hotspots. In short, be proactive about your safety in Lagos, and you should be as safe as you would be in any other part of the world.

Hi ghtl1066
I'm sorry to tell you that your situation is very likely a scam. The common trend among internet scammers is to cause victims to fall for them online and to then trick them into sending money abroad so they can meet one another. It's called the Internet Love Scam and hundreds have fallen prey to it.
Until you meet and have spent time together, there is no way to be sure that the person is genuine. There are a few steps you can take toward gaining more confidence in the interim. First off, if you haven't tried this already, insist on conversing over webcam. It is much harder to be insincere when face to face with someone and the immediacy of the camera conversation will allow you to test their story without them having a sudden retreat should you ask a question which catches them off guard. Secondly, test the integrity of their story. If they say they attended a certain school, call the school to verify it, if they are employed in a certain office, call the office and ask to speak to him/her.
Lastly, there is nothing wrong with you being hesitant or uncertain about their honesty and you should be able to explain this to them with them being perfectly understanding. Should you continue to be convinced after all these steps, delicately explain that you do not have the money to pay for their flights. You should suggest meeting in a compromise location/state/country - one in which you are still assured of your own safety but you can both afford to travel to. And please insist on meeting in a public space.
A scam artist would typically give up and move on to easier prey after you've insituted these measures, but if the person comes through, that does not mean you are in the clear. You can never be too careful.

i have question someone over there is trying to sell me some artwork over the internet and i want send the a certified bank check but they told me that us checks are not valid in nigeria is that true because the want me to western union the money to them and i really am beginning to think that tis is a scam some advice would be very helpful
December 2008
Hi guest
Normally this scam works the other way around, with the scammer sending a certified cheque away in order to secure an item for resale, only to have the cheque bounce of the seller. Still, you should never wire money anywhere without a reasonable expectation of delivery, especially not to Nigeria, which is notorious for the scams coming out of the country.
In any event, I am fairly sure that they do accept cheques in Nigeria. You can always confirm this by emailing or calling the bank where your payment will be cashed in.

I've been in communique with an individual expressing romantic interests and I've suspected a scam to the extent that I've filed a complaint with ic3. But recently I've received a message from this individual's girlfriend's husband advising me of a taxi crash where the taxi driver was killed, his wife unconscious with a head injury (she was in the front seat and hit the windshield) and my friend (in the back seat) also somewhat injured. Both the ladies are supposedly in the Lagos General Hospital, but the phone number for the hospital showing on www.ghlagos.org is not a good number and all other links on that web page are dead. Is there such a hospital and how can I learn the correct phone number?

February 2009
I will tell you how safe it is ... but first you must send me $200 in order to release the information from my deceased uncle's computer...

It is not so surprising that everyone that has commented on your Nigerian trip has bad ex?eriences directly or indirectly but it will be fair enough if all us can be a bit measured in condemning that country. It is not the only country that travelers have been stranded or been unfortunate to get robbed or pimped; there were instances in South Africa some months ago when even diplomats had punches directed at them before parting away with their hard earned belongings.
If want to make a trip to Lagos, have it mind that it is not a hell and you arent going to be the only one with another complexion to walk the streets of Lagos or trade with some people of good intentions rather than the never-do-wells you guys have all heard of.
Cholera has been heard of in Lagos for years, of course some buildings collapsed not because the government meant to kills its people but because some landlords and contractors thought too much of how much might be moved to their banks.
Many of the commentators in the world are either halfbaked or rely on hearsays, both of which are not only dangerous but destructive.
We can only move forward when we try to see the good in the other person. And Lagos is not the most corrupt or most voilent city.
Lagosians wont take it nicely with you if they realize that you are milking their after you have messed and painted them black.

Hi !! Can someboyd help me to know how the transporation linked between the major city !! Like Train, Air, Bus etc and what are the major cities in terms of business potentail for IT.
May 2009
hello! i just want to ask if its safe to work in Victoria island Lagos? I've met an employer through the net and I am applying as au pair to their family. They tell me that they are based in london but have business in nigeria? they advise me to get a visit visa because the embassy would not allow me to have the working visa? They will shoulder all my expenses? And they extend my visa every 3 mos? am i safe with that arrangement?
pls email me at email@example.com
May 2009
I lived in Lagos for 3 years, up intil just a few months ago.
I seriously doubt anyone would hire an au pair from abroad. You can hire a Nigerian nanny for much much less! It's likely a scam. If you are indeed a US citizen, you can seek assistance from the embassy and they will assist in getting a US citizen back to the US.
Lagos is indeed a crazy city and even the safest areas, such as Ikoyi and Victoria Island have crime. I would not suggest walking alone in day-time in any area of Lagos (not even Ikoyi). Night is off-limits. You need to have a car and driver... however I would ONLY trust arrangements through a multi-national company as ANYONE could be arranged as your car and driver and rob you immediately upon arrival. The last thing you want is to be stranded on the side of the road with no money, no passport, and no phone- it happens!
I would only suggest to fly on Virgin Nigeria, Aero Contractors, or Arik when flying regionally and domestically. Otherwise fly on KLM, Delta, British Airways, Air France, Kenya Airways, or South African Airlines.
May 2009
@ lorn be careful of the Aupair job offer you got.Most expat here have babysitters and nannies arranged for them by their companies.Even if you did get the job the family is suppose to shoulder all expenses including airfare so be wary of sending money to anyone to get you a visa.
May 2009
I really appreciate your answer. If you have more knowledge about my query please inform me. As of now. we still contacted each other and they don't ask me to send money. They mail me telling that they will shoulder my expense in visa and flight ticket.
May 2009
@ Lorn
Be careful all the same.Ask them for their business registration info ,try have their home Landline and other necessary information you deem relevant.Am sure if its scam they are still gonna ask for the money maybe not soon.Be careful also of them telling you to go cash a cashiers check to finance your travel.Just be careful generally cos it does not sound right to me.But your best opinion counts

My husband has been offered a job in Nigeria has anyone heard of the DPR cert that is required to workin oil and gas there?
June 2009
A lady claiming to be a missionary in Lagos, Nigeria who has 2 english bulldogs shes trying to get us to take. She wants us to pay $800 for the shipping fee and she wants us to wire $250 and the rest once we recieve the puppies. She keeps calling with a number from nigeria and she keeps emailing. Does anyone know if im being scammed or not?
June 2009
Cody - you are being scammed.
June 2009
Going to Lagos for 2/3 months. Want to play tennis and learn break dance in non working times. How about these facilities and cost, can somebody tell me please. Any other information about Lagos /city profile much appreciated.
June 2009
Why is everyone so focused on the bad aspects of Nigeria. ?
It has some lovely sides. It has Nigerians who would love to be your friends and take you around without begging for money so i assume the person who made that comment met the bad few. We aint all unprincipled or beggared!!!
Make sure there is a Nigerian to meet you at the airport or you book an hotel online (the major ones are Sheraton, Eko Hotel & SUites, Protea )and get them to come pick you. You would have agreed on what to look out for so you don't get into trouble.
2.As for the babe who is in love...you don't fall in love with what you don't know. Youa re in love with the idea of being in love so don't let them con you.
3. Sides anyone interested in quick money usually gets into trouble.....slow and steady...take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves though!but be on your watch. Crime is everywhere> we have bad things happen to people in the U.S.A and no one complains!!!! Come have fun!! Nigeria is a beautiful place...
4. As for Business, you need to understand the environment to be able to function.
June 2009
I need some information.... IF someone gets stranded in Nigeria, namely the Capital, Abuja. He is a US citizen..where does he go to get help? in Abuja? He is on a thin thread of sustenance....he is having to drink their water....don't know if this is good or bad....He is a business man..and supposedly the bank has a 21 day hold on his money.... Is he fibbing to me....or is he being scammed....or am I?????
June 2009
man says he has x amounts of dollars in bank in lagos africa but can't withdraw the money cause they are in form of cheque is this a scam? keeps wanting me to send money western union so he can come home
June 2009
xoxoxo - this sounds like a classic scam. See these other forum posts on nigeria and lagos scams:
July 2009
he calls his self Robert Pasino aka caringitalianman1961 anyone else heard of him
July 2009
I am highly irritated by some of your comments. Firstly i believe the scams can only work on greedy, unintelligent individuals because this emails are sent by uneducated Nigerians! Think about it!
Secondly Most places especially on the Island in Lagos are safe and you can actually walk on the streets just like any part of the world it should be done with some discretion.
The present Governor of lagos State Mr. fashola has done and is still doing an excellent job in revamping the city. For transportation you have MM2 which is the domestic airport and you can connect to most cities within the country from here.
Locally you have a wide array of transportation options, Cabs (Avis, E-Taxi etc)
For information about institutions such as central bank of Nigera do google for the website. Also an institution such as that would not be sending individuals emails unless you have contacted them in the past it is just simple logic!
People keep complaining about the scams in Nigeria but they are just as a result of greedy westerners trying to make some quick buck!
July 2009
Does anyone know if Nigerians are able to send money from Nigeria to the US? My man told me because of all the scam activity, they cannot send money. Is this true?
August 2009
Robert Pasino has been contacting me.First on My Space and then Yahoo.He says he is an architect and is right now in Western Africa.He keeps saying he wants to be with me and that he thinks I am cute.I showed him my pic.I'm 50 yrs old and maybe cute but i am a big woman.No breauty queen.lol.What is he doing?Should I stop talking to him?
August 2009
@ Nitenurse you should stop talking to him with immediate effect.His a scammer and soon his gonna start with his stories.Let me describe the scammer to you..His in his early 20's,un-employed,irresponsible and a drunk.He uses fake photos to pose to you and keeps reminding you how beautiful u are.he sends you love poems copied from the internet.He speaks with a fake dirty accent and can't write or speak English correctly.That's d person you are chatting with...Prowl though the internet about dating scams and am sure his case will seem familiar...
Goodluck Ma:)
August 2009
I stopped talking to him immediately.He should be arrested for what he does.I wonder how many women actually sent that idiot money.He had sent me a pic of him (supposedly) standing with a surf board.He also said he had a son named Terry and showed me a pic of a young boy with curly blond hair.He said his wife had died 5 years ago from breast cancer and that he is raising his son himself.thank you for writing back.I am very careful on the internet now.
August 2009
Good decision..Block off all contact with him...The photos he sent you are fake photos of innocent people ..Be careful ...Pick up you dancing shoes and head out to town..Am sure you gonna find someone who appreciates you and not some stupid scammer...Good luck
August 2009
Thanks again.I actually wasn't looking for anybody.He sent me a message on my Myspace.He kept asking me to get Yahoo so we could chat and once i did he deleted his My Space profile.Such a jerk.I was going to send him some nasty words but i figured he's not worth my time.
August 2009
hi, i just received a call today 24Aug09 from a Doctor Morphine from some funny sounding hospital called Vessel Padaetrics Hospital who claims that my friend who is a British national had an accident and is currently in a coma for the past 2 days. The last time I spoke to my friend was on Saturday who was in Nigeria visiting some African Tourist Centre there at about 5pm before we left the chat-line.His description of my friend as accordingly to his picture was exact fit although i have not met this guy face to face yet, not even on webcam. Can someone help me as to how i can verify the authenticity of the details as the doctor asked me a funny question as to whether i could see his number on my phone display. when i told him no, he just left the line. he called back again to say that i am the only person and number my friend had been contacting all along during his visit to Nigeria since Thursday 20Aug09. I geniunely want to help my friend out since he is in coma and the description given fits him to the bill as against his profile picture. Is there something more i need to know as felt that things are not right. Thanks for any reply..
August 2009
I agree with JK he is right scams can only work unsensible, foolish and stupid people
September 2009
Troubled Heart is that your alias or its just how you feel at the moment? Since you got this news have you contacted your friend? Speak to your friend first under no circumstances should you conclude whatever without speaking to your friend, okay and stop being Troubled Hearted!
Its your firends prerogative to holler at you if there is danger, should have made that arrangement incase of "wahala" (trouble). Have you ever communicated with a ghost before? if you have goodluck!
Dexter with love

Watch the ABC News "Second Tour" about the hiring of our two veteran roadies, filmed in Salt Lake City. ABC put together an incredible video & article which shadows Kayla and Bill in their new roles and includes interviews with Joe Elliott, Rick Allen and Paul Stanley. Watch here:
When the DEF LEPPARD summer tour kicked off last week the band's fans in attendance were among some of the first to see the brand new Jackson X-Stroyer guitar, custom built for DEF LEPPARD lead guitarist Phil Collen. Collen decided to showcase the new guitar during co-headlining trek with KISS.
When asked about his new Jackson X-Stroyer, Collen stated: "This guitar isn't an exact carbon copy of my Ibanez Destroyer; it's aesthetically based on the one I played in DEF LEPPARD's classic videos 'Photograph', 'Rock Of Ages' and 'Foolin'' in the 1980s. Somehow that guitar seemed to take on a life of its own with the fans when they saw it in the videos. However, my new Jackson PC X-Stroyer is the exact opposite with regards to the body outline/perimeter. The X-Stroyer has a mahogany body with a maple top that looks solid black from a distance. But then when you get up close, you can see the beautiful wood grain of the Trans Black finish. It has DiMarzio pickups, a Floyd Rose tremolo with FU Tone titanium block and saddles and a Jackson Sustainer/Driver pickup same as I have in my Jackson PC1s. My X-Stroyer has a very thick neck, which also helps the tone.
"This guitar feels and sounds expensive. The intent while building the new instrument was to have a body shape that invokes the 'spirit/enthusiasm' of my classic model, but with a twist. Mike Shannon, Jackson senior master builder, really went overboard for me on this one and I think it's the best Jackson guitar I've ever played."
Jackson has announced plans to release another Phil Collen signature model that will be available to the public in August. The Jackson PC1 Stealth, a limited-edition model from the prolific guitarist's PC line with Jackson, will have two versions of this model manufactured, with only 25 of each currently being built in Corona, California.
DEF LEPPARD & KISS announced their two newest roadies for their 2014 summer tour Monday night in Salt Lake City in front of a sold out crowd and both are veterans.
Kayla Kelly and Bill Jones were chosen by the bands after submitting their resume through Military.com. Thousands of applicants applied for the position and Military.com assisted the band in narrowing the field to the final candidates. The winners of the two coveted roadie spots were announced between the bands' performances by Sterling Poulson, Chief Meteorologist for CBS in SLC and a veteran of the United States Air Force, after 27 years of service.
The bands will be donating to two local charities in honor of each roadie being hired. LEPPARD will be donating to the Utah Guard Charitable Trust and KISS will be donating to Veterans Mothers.
"It is our privilege to draw attention to the obligation we all have to the brave men and women who volunteer to risk their own lives to protect the liberties and freedom that we all take for granted. We should all jump at any opportunity to provide any assistance needed by our warriors. Heroes deserve jobs!" said Paul Stanley, lead vocalist/guitarist of KISS.
"Having our own wounded warrior in Rick Allen, we've always had a close tie with the military," said Joe Elliott, lead vocalist of Def Leppard. "To carry on and further our contribution by giving a little back, and hopefully helping fulfill a dream or two, we're more than happy to show our support."
Throughout the course of their tour, the bands will be donating to charities including the USO, Project Resiliency/The Raven Drum Foundation, Augusta Warrior Project, Hiring Our Heroes, and Wounded Warrior Project.
