So, in your opinion Nigeria is a kangaroo society. What happen to free market. People in government behind the idea should blame themselves for not been diligent. You don't go announce a biz venture to the public without first taking care of little things that all need to be done.

Don't be emotional, read the law against acts like this and ensure compliance.

Flipping domains is done everywhere but countries are increasingly criminalising it as a form of cyber opportunism and a criminal attempt to benefit from the Goodwill of another brand.

The guy must be a compound laminated fool to think that they'll use that domain.

They are going to use Nigeriaair.gov.ng and he'll bite his bony fingers in regret.

By virtue of the Cybercrime Act 2015, he is guilty of cybersquatting and NIRA would retrieve the domains from him. He's liable to more than 2 years imprisonment (could be 14 years) and more than 2M fine (could be 24M). By the time the FG is through with him, he'll be begging the FG to collect the domains back.

However, considering how profligate this government is, if they can use 86M to cut the hair of a bald President, they would be willing to pay more for the domain names.
.

Quite right. Domain sitting is a punishable crime.

Exactly! The guy's move is a no brainer. Too many acronyms exist, that the govt can use.

Not all acronyms would be a hit. You want a domain that is unique and easy to remember.

If I were him I would have grabbed all sensible domain names possible.

Is that what you think? Or what you know? You think govt will let a person off the hook, after crying that he is being witch-hunted? shocked How many PDP politicians like Dariye & co, were let off the hook despite their cries? Is your guy as powerful or as connected, as they are?

9jaAir, Air9ja, 9jaAirways. Airnaija.gov Nigerian have a lots of available names to use bet me after two years that name will be available to host with no cost.

Doesn't exactly work that way, after 2 years the domain name is not returned, it is auctioned off, and if there are no buyers it goes to a waiting area where it might be eventually recycled. All of this can take several year.

Even if the government doesn't buy the domain from him, he can use it to impersonate or phish. Very real and official address

No matter how smart he is. He can never get the attention of the Nigerian government especially when the contract is given to a private firm.

The are so many domain names to manipulate out of Nigeria Air or Air Nigeria.

I believe there is a clause in the NIRA guidelines that allows them to take over domains in the interest of the Nigerian government. Also the Cybercrime act may come to play. If he wants to avoid criminal penalties, he better develop the domain. Put sme sort of content there so that he isn't found guilty of cyber-squatting.

I'm not a lawyer.
There's nothing like Jury in Nigeria
There's nothing like 'making' domains.
Domains are subject to intellectual property and copyright laws.

Read more and spend less time on the Internet, it would help you.

That domain is an NG domiciled domain and is under the control of NIRA. Even if he's in Saskatchewan, his domain would be regulated by Nigerian laws. However, if he's outside, the angle of fines and prosecution won't come into play, they'll just retrieve it.
