I don't like the big pack noodles. I prefer the smaller packs. I'm old school like that. The only problem is that these days as a fully grown adult, I don't eat noodles as an in-between meals. I eat it as a full meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner so I make 6 to get my filling. Someone called me a glutton because of this and I must fry eggs with it.

Abeg adults, when you make noodles at home, how many do you cook?

Two (2) Hungry Man Packs.

The noodles must come with fried plantain. I don’t eat indomie without dodo.

I like my noodles busy and colorful!

The garnishing includes green peas, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, carrots, onions, and sliced liver, prawns/shrimp, etc. with either boiled or fried eggs. As per meat/fish I prefer Turkey, Chicken or ‘Ice-Fish’/Mackerel.

I don’t eat indomie noodles without a drink either.

@OP.

Only God knows the angle you're working but stop spreading misinformation. As the poster above me has already schooled you, Nigerians on student visas can work 20 hours a week. I have many as friends and family member.

Why you engage in scaremongering with Rwanda I don't know. Even commonsense should tell you Rwanda should not be an option for Nigerian students because their status did not begin as asylum seekers, refugees or immigrants and they can therefore not be downgraded to that because of non-payment of tuition fees.

They have come to study in the UK. If they cannot pay school fee then the only option available to the UK home office would be to send them back to the nation of origin. Never Rwanda.

Many Nigerians seem to want to use social media space these day to present their bias-driven and deliberate misinformation, scaremongering and propaganda as the current truthful state of affairs. It is annoying.

Are you very aware that a great percentage of people here and in Nigeria that disparage, insult and claim they can never leave Nigeria is mainly because most of them couldn’t:

-Write and achieve the required band in IELTS.
-Couldn’t get Admission
-Couldn’t gather the proof of funds
-Had their visitors and students visa denied
-etc.

THEY HAVE TURNED THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT INTO BITTERNESS. IT IS SIMPLY DEEPLY ROOTED ENVY!

Watch them quote my post and try to bash. But I don’t respond to insolent posts and mentions.

Many of them that you see here, Whenever something that is seemingly negative is in the news which may negatively impact Nigerians in diaspora, they feel happy. It is just sheer envy. This “good for you…serves you right….ntooooorrr…who sent you to japa…you better come back home”! display is absolutely unnecessary.

You notice how he twisted the new rules in UK and Canada. These rules are NOT STOPPING ANY STUDENT COMING TO THE UK. And these same rules are changed and adjusted almost every 2-5 years to control Imigration and ensure better standard of living. The Canada case became serious when Nigerian and Indian students were living on the streets because they couldn’t afford housing. They turned around and accused the schools and the Canadian federal and provincial governments of not taking care of them. A lot of schools in Canada also over admitted students. Consequently, the government had to ensure you come with enough funds to afford housing in a rising housing market, food, and other basic necessities of life abroad.

Why Nigerians become envious of other Nigerian’s beats me. Plans for my life are not the same plans you have. I want to leave Nigeria and you want to stay because Nigeria is sweet and you can pee on the road and misbehave and pay to avoid most consequences, no problems. Stay in your Nigeria. I want to see my kids grow up mostly free with no fear or worry and being locked up most times.

Why don’t you stay back peacefully, but wish me well as I wish you well back home? Why must there be joy and jubilation among some Nigerians back home when something seemingly negative wants to affect Nigerians in Diaspora? Why?

I encourage ALL THOSE IN DIASPORA to understand that life comes with challenges. And to keep keeping on. WE ARE NIGERIANS! THERE IS NOTHING THAT COMES FROM ABOVE THAT THE GROUND CANNOT AND COULD NOT CONTAIN. WE ARE RESILIENT. We are proud of our individual goals and aspirations. We will chase it.

Hopefully the crop of Nigerians in Diaspora will play a significant role in the Development of Nigeria by bringing back innovative technologies and administrative practices to better the country.

LET THE ENVY AND HATRED ON AND FOR THOSE IN DIASPORA STOP! IT DOES NO ONE ANY GOOD!

And CAN with Civil Society Groups and Women’s Rights Groups have not blocked all roads in ABUJA in protest? Interesting.

We still have not been able to show Politicians and administrators of the country that we will not condone nonsense.

As a progressive circular state we should not accept discriminatory treatment based on religious affiliation and bigotry. The Nigerian Constitution and Law is above ANY RELIGION. ANY!

The nerve and level of injustice without shame and without fear of repercussions is very interesting.

I STILL MAINTAIN THAT THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA IS A LACK OF QUICK, APPROPRIATE AND GUARANTEED CONSEQUENCES.

The Government and Administrators of the State ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE CITIZENS. Less than 5000 Political Office Holders and Top Government Administrators are not afraid of the collective power of 300 million people. Why is that? Because they can simply divide us along ethnicity, tribal origin, religion, class, and even gender.

IT IS SUCH A SHAME!

1. Analyze, understand and discover yourself, your personality, your capabilities, your strengths, your weaknesses and the Sins you are very susceptible to and battle with. Know thine self in and out. Most times those Sins are why you are on earth to train your spirit to mature and overcome them. And those sins can destroy you. Is it sex,cheating, greed, pride, bad temperament, violence, betrayal, stealing/theft, gossip/slander, gluttony, ungratefulness, etc?


2. Have, set and define your long term goals and aspirations in life. In fact Define who you are going to marry as a matter of fact and when and the number of kids you intend to have. Etc.
Have a vision board for these goals and aspirations.

3. Identify and create your plan and aspiration towards financial freedom. E.g identify what makes you happy and how you can earn from it while doing it.

4. Always Break those goals into tiny steps and tasks and be focused on achieving these in tiny steps so that you are always working towards your goals.

5. Plan every year (January) what targets and objectives you intend to achieve and paste this on your vision board in your room.

6. Take action and DO IT EVEN IF YOU ARE AFRAID. Always take action and do it afraid.

7. Ensure you understand the principle of Unity consciousness where simply put, thought+knowledge+action+affirmation brings RESULTS/MANIFESTATION. Try to imagine only good outcomes. Do not focus on negative outcomes. Everything from your thoughts, words and actions must be geared towards a positive, pleasant and beneficial outcome.

8. Show gratitude whether things work your way or not. You never can tell what you have just been saved from when your wishes/prayers don’t come true.

9. Do not rely on anything or anyone to be happy. Happiness should come from within. Understand and try to ensure you are happy even on your own. Celebrate being alone and enjoy your own company as much as possible.

10. At your own pace, go slowly and be stoic. Do not fret over what you cannot control. And do not fret over what you can control. Just go ahead and control it. Worrying or hurrying is stress. Plan properly so you don’t need to hurry or worry.

Antoeni:
Give Up One

Interestingly I can give up

Sex.
The Internet.

Sex is the easiest to give up. It doesn’t affect how you relate with people or reduce the potential of getting other comforts.

You need money to buy, sell, move about. Goods and services generally.

You need the internet to function a lot these days. Even though you can decide to live off grid.

I can with various levels of discomfort give these two up.

Maybe someday this will be a topic that people will contribute their opinions to.

These are a few weeks old right??

Yes Sir!

I think first snow fell on the 24th of October 2023. But generally, winter has come and it is on. Snow or not.

Posted it just to keep the thread going. And to do people who are planning to come some additional “longer throat” . 😄 Let them be encouraged.

By the way, I am not in Canada as a matter of fact. Long story.

Adapt. People have been doing so for centuries…

School services still on…

Though it has stopped snowing after this…

It is on…

It is on..

Saskatoon.


Winter has come and It is on..

1. Onunu with Fisherman Sauce. Sauce must have seafoods like Prawns, oysters, periwinkle,etc. But no mudskippers. I hate their tiny bones.




2. Abacha with ogiri, kpomo, dices meat, and fish. Lots of onions, garden eggs. Between Palmwine and beer, I don’t know which blends the most with this. But I think my choice is palmwine.




3. Pounded Yam and ANY VEGETABLE RICH SOUP (E.g. Eforiro, Afang, Edikaikong). It must have orisirisi. Snails, diced kpomo, full kpomo, periwinkle, prawns, fish, beef, dried fish like mangala, okporoko, etc. Give me this with just a bottle of Water.




4. Suyaa (with Desperado or Smirnoff) Don't tell me Suya isn't a local delicacy o. You will be very wrong. When I want to open my sinuses, I take it with Arabian Tea (chai) from A Hausa Chai Maker. Like I hinted earlier, I don’t miss adding my favorite drinks to the Suyaa. Desperado or Smirnoff Ice.


Allow me have these and you have given me 50% Peace.

WHAT TYPE OF FOOLISH STUPID CRY?

CRY THAT WHAT? YOU ARE BEING NAILED ON THE CROSS? Cry for/that fucking what?

Because You don’t yet have a job? you don’t have money? your girl friend left you? your family and the society doesn’t respect you? You are hustling but baba God hasn’t picked your call? That is it? Cry for these things? Kai.

I want to believe Oyibo must have given us something and used mass media to change our brains.


Please men, learn to be Stoic. It will do you good. I have never seen a man that crying solved his manly problems. It is because men nowadays aren’t men any longer. With all this gay this, pride that, WOKE nonsense.

Cry na. And see your respect dwindle. Wetin Dey make you cry? Unless your Pikin, Papa, Mama or Brothers die, Wetin Dey make you cry?

You loose your job Abi your girlfriend leave you Abi Wetin? Bikonu. You Dey hustle and e never pure? So because of that you open your drum mouth and eyes Dey cry. Who cry don ever help. Show me. Show me man wey e be say as him cry things come begin work out for am, or him problems come magically disappear.

My brother if there is anything I want the so called ‘Modern Men’’ to do, crying isn’t one of them. At all.

You are a MAN. It is a duty and important calling. Deal with it! You Dey cry, woman Dey house too Dey cry from wahala of childbirth and period pains.

Biko be fucking strong!!! Which trouble is it that previous men haven’t seen? Wetin be the thing wey ear never hear before? Ehn?! Wetin come from sky wey ground not fit contain? Common Dey bam there. No shaking. We move. We have been born as men. It is a duty. Fucking do it and keep pushing. The responsibility of being a man is till death do us part. We were born as MEN! AND WE SHALL LIVE AS MEN AND DIE AS MEN!

PLEASE BE A MAN. Do your duty with pride. FACE YOUR DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY AND DO IT WITH HEAD HELD HIGH!

I won’t and can’t cry. Unless I have lost a loved one (and that person sef must be close to me) or I am in very severe physical pain that is nearing death. I was mistakenly shot at on my thigh and I didn’t cry. Na today? I was afraid I could bleed out. But I didn’t cry.

Take your own decision and live with it. Cry all you want if you want. It hardly changes anything. How many of a Man’s Problem do you want to cry about ?!

My friend go to the gym and use the anger and annoyance from the disappointment to build your abs if time permits.

Please OPEN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS TOO IN CANADA OOOOO!!

PLEASE WE BEG YOU. BIKO.

WE KINDLY REQUEST SIR!

Canada is multiple times bigger than the UK and in recent times is competing with the Number of Nigerian residents and immigrants. There are many Nigerians now in Saskatchewan. Open an office in Regina and Let it be the office to cater for the Prairies and Southern Provinces. Biko.

The rascality of the Nigerians there in Ottawa is a big problem. Coupled with the fact that Everyone needs to fly to Ottawa, book hotels, take Ubers just to meet appointments. In addition to this after paying for the Passport, they will still ask you to pay for services rendered by another private firm to the Nigerian High Commission. Then you still have to pay for courier because you do not want to stay in a Hotel and wait endlessly.

It now looks like a punishment and set up by our own country men overseas to fleece as much money from us just to renew passports.

A Nigerian passport in Canada is now costing almost 1 million naira o.


Biko Mr. Minister, Help.

"I don't know whether to continue with the marriage or not. I exchanged his DNA results."

During a TV3 "Confessions" segment with Miss Nancy, a Ghanaian woman confessed to altering DNA results to break up a marriage, leading to her subsequent marriage to the man

The lady, who worked in a hospital, admitted to swapping DNA results to falsely indicate that the children were not biologically related to the man, resulting in the divorce of the man and his ex-wife

Now grappling with guilt, the lady faces an internal struggle between her husband's happiness and the unintended consequences of her deceitful actions, including the news of the ex-wife's tragic demise

I have always advocated for 3 separate Peace of Mind (POM) Tests.

At three different test centers.

Where possible at three different intervals as well.

It is worth the stress to be very sure.

I still advise that regardless of who you marry and how holy she looked when she fell from Heaven as an angel with her hymen intact, ANY SENSIBLE MAN WILL CONDUCT A MADATORY PEACE OF MIND DNA TEST ON ALL HIS KIDS.

By Sunday Akanni

This is a continuation of this previous conversation https://www.nairaland.com/7908376/some-tricks-guys-use-luring

These randy guys are smart. They know how to exploit the emotional nature of women to the fullest. They know the average woman craves love and care and affection. So, either verbally or with their actions, they keep convincing you that they care about you. Once they successfully make the lady believe he's in love with her, they know she will become vulnerable towards and around him - she will want to reciprocate and do all it takes to keep him. He then exploits this mercilessly, making her crawl into his bed at his pleasure before ditching her.

My Counsel: I will counsel from two perspectives. The first one will be to encourage you to have an intimate relationship with the LORD and let Him teach you by experience what true love is - this will help you not to be a "love slave" (someone who is always thrown off her feet whenever any guy says he loves her). The second perspective will revolve around the fact that an average guy cannot love you truly if he hasn't first encountered God (Who is the True Love) and fallen in love with the Holy Ghost.

Firstly, you see, God is Love, and since we were created in His image and likeness, it follows that we are also creatures of love, created to love and receive love. We all have the innate desire to love (to give and show love to others), as well as to crave to receive love from others (to be shown love in return). This is a characteristic of a normal person created in God's image and likeness.

However, the error of many women lies with where they go to seek love, and what they fall in love with. Hence, many are in problem today because they fall in love with dangerous persons and things that were designed by the evil devil to carry out his evil mission - to steal, to kill and destroy (John 10:10). We can talk about alcohol and drugs; masturbation and pornography; immoral boyfriends and girlfriends relationships; materialism and mammon; etc. They thought these things were good lovers that would give them genuine pleasure and satisfaction. Unfortunately, these things only lead them to destruction, ruin, and regret.

Problem arises when you fail to channel your love to the right One - the True Lover. You are configured to love God your Creator first and above any other, and to receive love from Him above anything else. When you are saturated with God's Love and you find pure fulfillment inside of Him alone, it guides how you give love to those around you, and you are directed to like only the things He permits (which won't be harmful to you).

You can explore love inside of God (which is what you are destined to do) through faith in Jesus Christ. As you embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, He sends a tangible Lover to your life - the Holy Spirit. As you grow in love with Him, He empowers you to keep attending to the business of love in the right way. I'm encouraging you to stop seeking pleasure from sinful and harmful persons and places and things. They are polluted counterfeits of the original thing - that you enjoy pure pleasure in your relationship with the Lord Jesus.

Also, if a guy is claiming to love you without having a loving relationship with the Lord, he is simply confusing lust and infatuation for love. God is Love, and only He can tutor a man on what true love is. So, if a guy does not know the LORD, and he is claiming to love you, what did he know about love, when it is even obvious he doesn't love himself (since he is living a defeated life by staying outside God)?

Now, let me tell you this about males, and it's easy to tell you this because I'm one too. Due to the configurations of the male body, if he refused to submit to the Holy Spirit, he will be driven by an intense urge for pleasure and fun, and he is ready to go to any extent to please himself (including adopting criminal actions like rape, drugging his victims, etc). Trusting a guy who isn't submitted to the Lord is foolish because even the guy can't help himself.

This is not difficult. A Simple rule for Women.


NO MATTER WHAT A MAN SAYS, KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED TILL MARRIAGE!

The day you decide not to then it was your choice. Nobody deceived you with any “I Love You”. Did any of your mothers ever tell you to sleep with a man that says I love you?

You all can’t keep just One rule. Just that rule. Then you claim you were deceived. No you made a bad choice.


Teach your daughters. Regardless of what a man says or does or acts or gives you or promises you, JUST KEEP YOUR THIGHS CLOSED TILL MARRIAGE. The day you decide to break that rule then you will forever see yourself saying things like:

‘Men are dogs’

‘Men are Scum’

‘Men will stain your white’

Teach your daughters that Once you give it to one man, there is a risk that the next man wants it hassle free and even free of charge. After all if you didn’t stress Mr A who disvirgined you and you didn’t stress Mr B who came after A, why is it that at my turn ,Mr W, you now want to form holy? Teach your daughters that All women will loose the battle of societal view. The society will never ever accept women running around from one man to another. That competition you think you want to have with men on who can bed hop, you will be the one with a damaged image. In life, consequences for actions CAN NEVER BE THE SAME across race, age, gender, creed, status, etc. Is this not hypocritical ? Yes it is. Life isn’t fair, deal with it!

SIMPLE RULE. DO NOT LOVE OR TRUST ANY MAN ENOUGH TO OPEN YOUR LEGS FOR HIM TO PUT ANYTHING INSIDE BEFORE MARRIAGE. YES. LOVE YOUR CHASTITY MORE THAN ANY MAN YOU MEET.

Simple. Women should take accountability for their poor choices.


For the Male folk. Also know that women deceive you with I love you and steal from you too. Your TIME, EFFORT, RESOURCES, PROTECTION, ATTENTION, etc.

They steal these things. Avoid giving this to a woman who is not your wife and helping to raise your kids and propagate your genes. So just as women should keep their thighs closed, men should also keep their attention, resources, efforts and time under lock and should never direct them to Women who aren’t their wives.

IyaTola:
Who knows you the most
A. Dad
B. Mom
C. Sister
D. Brother
E. Partner
F. Friends

Myself.

No one else.

I am too introverted.

Zooposki:
Bye Felicia. Stop policing women and go police your fellow men.

Thank you.

Most Women do a piss poor job policing their thighs. Besides, men run the society, I guess it is inbuilt instinct to head, lead and teach women.

Zooposki:
You should be advising only your female siblings. Leave other women out of this your foolish advice. Your advice will yield more fruits if you instead advise your fellow criminal Nigerian men to stop all their crimes instead.

Funny thing is that in this life, consequences for the same action will never be the same across class, social status, ethnic groups, gender, race, religion, etc. My sisters know this and know how to take accountability for their actions. I expect them not to blame men if they foolishly open their legs to men they have chosen poorly. They will accept responsibility and not go about vilifying men.

Any woman with an iota of sense will understand that a man woos and she agrees to open her legs. She made a choice. Unfortunately many choose poorly and even if you choose well, the person can change. It is still your choice. For your peace of mind, keep your thighs closed. Don’t be tempted by expensive dinners, iPhones, cash gifts, game and wealth men intentionally flaunt around to catch many simple minded women. Don’t go competing with men on who can be the biggest slut. Unless you were raped, please face the consequences, take full responsibility and full accountability of your actions and decision to lay in a sexual position for a man or many men to penetrate you.

Thank you all the same.

It is only desirable.

Doesn’t really mean much other than the fact that we believe she will have better control of her libido and value chastity and faithfulness. It is generally believed that a woman who marries as a virgin has better chance to control or her sexual urges and will stick to one man. This might generally be the case, but there are many exceptions as well. Imagine someone starved from eating sweets from childhood and then allowed to do so at an older age. The person will either find them too sweet and control the urge to have them, or the person will simply go on a crazy binge and say it this what I have been missing ?

Eventually we do not know what is dealt us. We aren’t omniscient so we do not know what our Virgin Wives will do. There are also few cases where the virginity was by circumstances. In such cases, the woman was NOT TEMPTED ENOUGH. Then She marries, gets exposed and finds herself in very tough seductive situations. In such instance, there is a high chance she falls, thighs wide open. Such women if wooed by men who know how to seduce women, they won’t even know when they will fall for such a man.

And some of us men never open our mouths to tell you to go out with us or propose a relationship directly. We woo you silently that you think of us when you are alone on your own. We execute secretly and quietly, through tiny actions, innuendos, words, fractionation, body language, etc It is so bad that the target whether married, single, mummy G.O., a convent Nun, a virgin, the Presidents Daughter a Mature woman in her 40s, 50s, etc. none of those nonsense will matter. The Only way to be safe is not to allow yourself around us at all.

So in general we know it is not always the case. Virgins do not necessarily always make good mothers, wives, or spouses in terms of Chastity, faithfulness, sense of accountability, domestic skills and capabilities, etc.

But let me state this here and now that Nonetheless, being chaste is a good thing for women. Don’t risk your life having sex and getting pregnant for a man who doesn’t care about you. Men will always see all other women as trophies unless the one they have married to at home. For your own peace of mind, keep your female legs closed till marriage. I will still preach this till the end of time . If you want to compete with men in immorality , all that you will do is totally devalue and cheapen yourself and the consequences might be high.

I know it sounds like double standards. And actually it is-the world isn’t fair, Deal with it. But note that for your own sanity, image, peace of mind and as a risk avoidance strategy, keep your tiny or thick legs closed. Don’t go competing with men on who is the biggest LovePeddler and who can be unfaithful. Remove that stupid thinking that if your husband or boyfriend sleeps around you too will. Because secretly that is what men pray for. That all women become sluts apart from their daughters, sisters and mothers. Men reason and pray that women are free to have unhinged sex so that they can enjoy themselves.

Bliss62:



Well from my own experience oo, Nigerians or Japarians are hardworking and not lazy

Pakistani, Indian, Lebanese, Arab, comiunity would gather together to socialize, help themselves, intermarry, network

Nigerian neighbors won't even great themselves

One time our philipino HR back then needed, workers, overseas ... see as Pakistani, Indian were submiting CV for there people, we Nigerians submit nada, no help, we still dey survive



.

Let me lend my voice and say what I experienced and what I was told by a couple of new comers I met:


NIGERIANS MAY NOT BE LAZY, BUT:

NO OTHER NATIONALITY HATES THEMSELVES AND COMPETE NEGATIVELY AND UNHEALTHILY AGAINST THEMSELVES AS NIGERIANS DO.

NONE!

Now let me make a disclaimer. The primary purpose of Japa is not to go and hangout with your country men. No. So whether Nigerians unite or not, face your purpose of relocating abroad, please.


Nigerians in the UK might be crazy and noisy and jaiye jaiye o. But I bet you when you get to Canada you might envy Nigerians in the UK and their mostly scandalous life style. From what I saw/experienced when I visited and what I was told, NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST DISUNITED NATIONALITY IN CANADA. A foreign land where they break themselves into regions, ethnic groups, tribes, villages, etc. And that is even only online. It stops online. Na only to go picnic for June/July dem sabi. They will never discuss and tell you positive things and information to give you progress as a fellow Nigerian and especially if you are a newcomer. Instead na Scam, MMM, get rich quick schemes, and how to get you entrenched in debt like most of them are, that they focus on. They are like the sluts who are jealous of, envious of, and shame the virgin and goad her into having sex so that she becomes like them.

Take Saskatoon Canada for example. Every weekend you will see Indians gather. It was so refreshing and adorable. As I strolled with the people I went to Visit on Holidays I saw Asians gather for grills and cookouts especially during summer. As you walk in the evening you will see Arabs gathered in the house of one Arab or another. I was told they usually rotate it from family to family. The children are playing. The Men are discussing, hopefully progressive things. The women are talking hopefully about how to make their families comfortable and all that. They are having a good time. They associate and push for progress of their countrymen. They are eating, drinking, and the families interact.

Nigerians will see a fellow Nigerian and will not respond to a “good morning”. A Nigerian will pass by a Nigerian speaking Yoruba and will not even acknowledge one another. Na Oyibo instead Dey respond with a “Hi” and smiles and asking you where you are from and telling you how to prepare for winter.

The Nigerians WhatsApp groups is broken into Tribes. Na only how to sell hair and kulikuli dem sabi. Ask them questions on something serious and one week nobody don respond. Then they foolishly tell you to pay membership dues. Bunch of rogues, the most of them, anywhere they are.

The biggest a Nigerian will do for you is to fight with other Nigerians in dragging you to their Church as a new comer. Those who just arrived have real challenges. Not church. Church isn’t the problem of a new comer in Canada. Some of you will say “maybe in church they will provide information and assistance to solve your problems”. Haha Dey Play. Na LIE. Big Lie. Once they close, they all disperse. Then Friday the same person is asking if you are coming to church. Oga/Madam, to hell with you and your church. I have things to tick off. From SIM to SIN to Bank Account Opening to getting a bus card to getting long term accommodation, to registering kids for school, to knowing where to shop for what, to health insurance to claiming the benefits for kids, etc. Settling down is the problem of a new comer. Not church. And NO. The churches don’t help. And then when you attend the church what do you see? Classism. Groups and cliques. It is so bad that even their kids no the kids of other people they shouldn’t play with. Gossiping. Looking at who came with the best car. A Nigerian told a new comer not to get accommodation in an area of Saskatoon because there are too many Nigerians living in that neighborhood. Questions were asked that is the crime rate high? No. Is the neighborhood dilapidated or rundown? No, it is even one of the best. Do the Nigerians create trouble or fight or steal each others wives and husbands or something? No. The only reason is that there are too many Nigerians there! What manner of people are we?

Nigerians who just arrived get more information about settling down FROM INDIAN AND ASIAN UBER DRIVERS! Yes. A Nigerian Uber Driver even refused to acknowledge he is Nigerian till her overheard my discussions, knew the industry I work in and realized I did not come to Canada to Beg. He realized that for this guy to get an UberXL he obviously isn’t broke. Meanwhile I had seen his name on the App and he had seen mine.

You see a Nigerian in a thrift store, the moment you say Hello, they reluctantly respond . This is someone you probably saw somewhere and has been pointed out to you. Nigerians Dey shame to greet fellow Nigerians for thrift store. Oga there is no need for this big man attitude or to Dey hide and Dey shame make people no know say you Dey go Value Village. Nigerians are just one funny set of people.

Self expression, social interaction and a network of country men to socialize with is important. But many new comers quickly give up on it and realize the horrible snobbish attitudes of Nigerians. They adopt the same “make everybody Dey him house” attitude and the cycle continues.

Finally, it is known that as per foreigners in many Canadian Provinces you have Nigerians, Arabs, Asians, and Indians/Pakistanis. These other groups unite so well. They even influence elections and present candidates as Council Members. And they win. They can do this due to the Unity and Common sense of purpose they have. Nigerians will have serious issues in this regard. Jealousy, envy, unhealthy and very sick and wicked spirit of competition will not allow them achieve administrative strength and political power in these Provinces and cities in Canada.

THE SAME THING WITH PTDF SCHOLARHSIP AND OTHER GOVERNMENT EXAMS AND SELECTION PROCEDURES. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE PTDF OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP AND ALL PROMOTION EXAMS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE NEED TO BE INVESTIGAED BY THE EFCC AND ICPC.

WE KNOW HOW PROMOTIONS ARE SOLD AND UP FOR GRABS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.

IF YOU ARE NOT CLOSE TO THE CIVIL SERVICE, YOU WILL NOT KNOW THE ROT. IT IS A BIG SHAME.


I KNOW A LOT OF GUYS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE ARE DUMB PEOPLE. HOWEVER, I ALSO DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN.

MAKE THE RESULTS PUBLIC. REMOVE THE SYSTEM WHERE THE FINAL LIST IS PUBLISHED BY YOU WITHOUT THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THEIR SCORES. IF POSSIBLE, MAKE IT THE EXAMS AND RESULTS DIGITIAL AND IMMEDIATE.

LET PEOPLE SEE THEIR RESULTS IMMEDIATELY.

THOSE WHO AUTHORED THE PIA THAT WAS EVENTUALLY PASSED AND SIGNED BY BUHARI REALLY CAPITALIZED ON THE DUMBNESS OF THAT ADMINISTRATION.

THEY CREATED ROOM FOR MAKING APPOINTEES AS THEIR ''BOYS'' WHO WILL GIVE THEM CONTRACTS AND OWE THEM FAVOURS. THE APPOINMENT PHILOSOPHY OF THE PIA FOR NUPRC AND NMDPRA IS SUCH A SHAME. WHERE DUMB POLITICIANS WITH INFLUENCE CAN GET APPOINTED INTO SERIOUS TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS AS THE NUPRC.


PLEASE REMOVE

1. THE ENTIRE BOARD

2. THE CCE

3. THE ENTIRE EC'S (PERHAPS APART FROM DR OFOEGBU WHO, DESPITE THE FRAUD CLAIMS, SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY MATURE AND SENSIBLE PERSON THERE)

4. THE CCE LEGAL ADVISER (SHE IS A POORLY MANNERED PERSON THAT LACKS RESPECT AND HAS ASSISTED THE IMPUNITY BY THE LEADERSHIP OF THAT ORGANIZATION.) HOW THS PERSON BECAME A LAWYER STILL BEATS THE IMAGINATION OF LAWYERS LIKE US.

5. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AMMEND THE ENTIRE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR THE NUPRC AND NMDPRA IN THE PIA 2021.

NOW AFTER YOU REMOVE THEM. CARRY OUT A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION OF THAT COMMISSION. FINANCIAL AUDITS AND ABUSE OF OFFICE. FEEZE ACCOUNTS AND RETURN ALL MONIES BACK TO THE FG.

THE ONLY THING KEEPING NIGERIA TOGETHER IS THE MONEY THAT IS SHARED, STOLEN AND EMBEZZLED.

CORRUPTION IS WHAT IS KEEPING NIGERIA TOGETHER.

ONCE THERE IS NO MONEY LEFT TO LOOT, SHARE AND STEAL, NIGERIA WILL BE A WAR ZONE.

IT WILL COLLAPSE.

Roger3D:
I attended university at about the same time as you and the highest tuition fee I ever paid was about 7k. In 1999 it was just about N1,300

Thank you jare. You may be right.

Truth is this. While trying to remember, my mind went to 3k ish. I think it was actually 1,397 Naira or so. I really cannot remember. But thinking back now, I think it was around 1k plus.

1. CHEAP EDUCATION: Free Primary, Secondary and Cheap Tertiary Education. I attended public schools from start to finish.

School fees at university was 3,997 Naira Per session. 1999 to 2003.


2. FIGHTING SPIRIT : The never say die attitude. Never say never. Never give up. Channeled into positive things, it brings great benefits in the long run.

If only this spirit didn’t come out of adversity. Who knows? Maybe this spirit can only come from some form of adversity. But the adversities in Nigeria are just too much.

Street Smartness: Nigeria has also given me the street slyness. For every other city around the globe I have visited and stayed for long, it was impossible to scam or take undue advantage of me. Ears wide open. Eyes wide open. Saying only what was necessary and preemptively calculating any moves made to the next 500 steps ahead.

3. TOUGH AS NAILS: As funny as this might sound. This country has passed me through experiences that I might not even experience in a War Zone. It has made me tough. As tough as nails. My mindset is anything is possible. Nothing changes unless something changes. Do it afraid. Anything is possible. These form the motto of my ventures and life today.

4. CONDIFENCE IN BEING BLACK AND BEING AFRICAN: As a young adult, I read my father's collection of African Writers Series and got hooked. I read the works of Elechi Amadi, Chinua Achebe, Nguigi, and Wole Soyinka's books. It was an eye opener for me . The stories in the novels showed our deep cultural heritage. This viewpoint is without moral judgment.

Potential Development? We do have the potential. Resources abound. Both human and natural.


Actual Development? It will never start. Let me make a simple story. Please read this simplified story below.

A country can be likened to a Family.

Story story? Once upon a time?

You have a large family compound (country) and your family has farms and large expanse of land with resources in it. Your family also has people in it. Other smaller family units. The old, young, teenagers, mothers, fathers, nieces, uncles, visitors.

Now just like your family, within that village (the world) there are also other families (other countries) who use the resources to send their kids to school and better their lives. They use the resources to upgrade their family compound and ensure people living there have good rooms, beds, etc. They encourage innovation and use knowledge to better their society within their family compound. They build good hospitals, good walk ways from one family house to another and from one section of the compound to another. They set the society straight such that there are consequences for any crime committed. Their society supports actions that will only better the majority of people in their family compound.

But You, what do you do? You use the resources owned by your family to enrich only yourself. In fact, you take proceeds from the resources meant to be used for the betterment of your family members to hide in the another family compound that isn’t yours. Some of the proceeds, you squander through drinking, enjoying, smoking, and womanizing. In fact you visit other family compounds to use their doctors and spending your money in their own compound. You and those that your family members appointed as heads/leaders do nothing for those who appointed you, and when they try to complain you twist rules, barely listen to them and even kill, jail or silence them. You as family head appointed some other family members to handle some aspects of administering the family activities. But like you, they also get power drunk and try to and even successfully steal the family resources. Worst thing is You now even go and borrow from other families and squander and borrow and squander. As a family you are supposed to employ teachers and pay them well to teach the kids. Instead you destroy the class rooms and send your own kids to another family and pay their own teachers to teach your kids, while your own teacher’s employed by you suffer. It gets so bad that now your family members’ dream is to also have an opportunity to loot and abuse the system and oppress other family members. They aim for nothing more than stolen wealth to oppress others. They want to take their chunk of the Family (National) Cake.

In fact it is so bad that the yam you farm from the family farm, instead of frying it and cooking it to eat, you allow your stove and pots and fire place rot, then you sell the yam to another family and buy back the fried yam and boiled yam from them. Every few years you lie to your family members that you want to do turn around maintenance of your cooking stove, pots, etc so you can fry the yams yourself, but you never do and they never work.



I can go on and on and on with this story.

NOW TELL ME, HOW CAN SUCH A FAMILY UNIT DEVELOP? NEVER! UNLESS THE HEAD OF THE UNIT AND THOSE HE HAS APPOINTED TO ADMINISTER THE FAMILY UNIT, ALL COLLECTIVELY AND INTENTIONALLY WORK TOWARDS A VIBRANT FAMILY.

MAJORITY OF OUR LEADERS INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY SABOTAGE THE NIGERIAN FAMILY UNIT.

NOT UNTIL THE PEOPLE APPOINT GOOD LEADERS WHO IN TURN APPOINT GOOD ADMINISTRATORS FOR LAWS, POLICIES, EQUITY AND JUSTICE, THEY WILL NEVER DEVELOP. IT IS EITHER THE FAMILY PEOPLE REBEL AGAINST THE FAMILY HEAD OR THEY WAIT TILL NEXT MEETING TO APPOINT A NEW FAMILY HEAD, THEN THEY CHOOSE WISELY.

Those who should spearhead development and ensure consequences for anti development actions are busy with how they can loot. Governments are voted and people are appointed to administer public interactions and activities. Until a collective set of persons in the three arms of Government and three levels of Government agree to ensure justice, equity and conscious developmental efforts, Nigeria will not and never develop. The goal of the political class IS NOT TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY. It is to see what they can loot.

Every action in Nigeria is taken more because it will make someone rich, than to serve the benefit of the people. How can every decision of a country be towards the enrichment of the leaders and administrators? There can be no development. Whether PDP o, APC o, Labour Party o… As long as those there are not interested in ensuring development and people aren’t held properly accountable, then development will be far from us.
