Superb and addictive thread. I'm soaked up in enlightenment.
Chiggsglover, nice job you're doing here, it's not easy dishing it out raw like you're doing. Some just hoard information unnecessarily. You've been mature and composed in answering questions, well done.I wish I could give each of your post a thousand likes.
You and other contributors are doing well.

Hadampson suppose be Nigerian ambassador to so many countries ooo. He's good and he keeps improving. I seriously want you to fulfill your dreams of moving out. Be like this country don overcast. May we leave this place and see other countries where sanity is prioritised and don't have to worry about certain things.

The Ireland travel thread can be consulted for certain questions, OP has really tried and it's not good taking advantage of his nice demeanor about certain stuff. It's good to make research/dig further. This enables you break things down like he's doing.

Thanks Chiggsglover, your thread is a masterpiece!
God bless you and your adventures.
When I read this comment, I was just, I kinda felt I wasn't the one you were referring to and was jealous.
Thank you very much for the comment, pls oooo, questions relating to visa and application, take it to the thread for it. By the time I finish replying to such questions that you can easily check online, you would have killed the gbedu or vibe that made me login.
You all can help by answering such questions in love just the way you see me do. When I feel they're answered and I dont have anything to add, I'll just go ahead to write my Lengthy write ups, I have alot on my head.
Thank you very much once again.

Lol how do you recognise the Irish from the rest?

The folks with ghastly white look are Irish, the ones with tanned skin are mostly Latinos or Indians.
Just my way tho, another strong one is the accent.

There are a lot of Polish guys in Dublin. I understand many of them are troublesome.

There is nothing to be shy about when walking the streets. Everyone minds their businesses.
Irish are most troublesome, every other foreigners knows they're not in their fathers land so they behave. Lol

No do am purposely in Nigeria o, I know I'm bold, but lagos, I respect them, I take precautions, I never got robbed. Only time I ever lost a phone was when they broke my door while I travelled in Nigeria.

Lol you still need fridge for your food and groceries. However during winter, I remember leaving cooked rice in my rice cooker pot for three days and it was chilled and fresh like it had been in a refrigerator.
Hahahhaha.
That's why I love winter.
I noticed that dustbin smells good then. Compared to how I contort my face when I pass a Nigerian dustbin truck. Even hours after the truck has gone, I'll still be perceiving the armpit smell.

I just completed my online training for all health workers. Will that suffice. ( it is called PPE. I think it is in affiliation with the UK directive. My hospital made us all take it. )

Also Nigeria is not among the countries listed in the HSE platform when you try registering

After doing this online course, what next?
You go to the embassy? @wowdiva @ashatoda
If you can get a level 5 health certificate, the name sound strange tho.i hear theyll be moving the training online, so it's good.

Lol, which embassy, han han, that's not how it works.
You might need to apply to HSE directly, this is the health ministry. You can check other parastatals for for such opportunities, the key, is to research, I would have checked, but I have lots of commitments,
Masters student, I volunteer at two different organizations, I pour my mind here grin, and have to work for money.

The lockdown really gave me more time as classes are online.

I haven't taken the training infact I haven't have the time to check the HSE platform let's wait for @chiggslover to address this. I will also make sure I check up the site. how much is the training?
HSE certification is expensive, €200 per module I guess.

Duolingo English test is acceptable by both Universities and the Embassy for this year- If considering a January / Feb 2021 intake, please do not take this test yet for Visa application purpose.

If you will be schooling @ ITSligo and your TOEFL / IELTS is within the last 3 years, then its acceptable for both admissions and visa app* strictly for this school only.

The next weeks will be extremely busy especially from June, but we will try to keep ya'll updated.

Cheers.

My backyard

You can see the Trees, from my view in my window,
I bought another bike, this one is a road bike for speed. The ride quality of the foldable bike is boring, just 8speed gear, the ride quality of the road bike is flick, it's a 24 speed, higher the gear, more the speed and variation to work with.

The gear system, I learnt it from my dad, he explained it to me when I was younger and it stuck. He even compared his jeep then to those dangote trucks without the container attached. That even though he rides an SUV, dangote truck can get to a higher speed over time. Which might be quite true.

Its easier to shift from 1 to the 8th gear on the foldable bike, but on the 24 gear bike, I'll still be shifting and getting faster.
Also the foldable bike is made up of aluminum, the road bike I got was made from a lighter metal called carbon fiber which of course reduced the weight of the bike and made it easier to climb hills and get ready a higher speed.

You can spot the trees at the backyard, they're so close to the roof of the house, these are very old trees that if it were in my village, witches would have made it their conference room.
It's like a superstition. I would love to believe they are not real. But i have read evidences, there was a huge old tree at Alaba, side, that huge long road leading to Festac. When.the Fashola government was reconstructing the way it looks today, the place now is a farcry from what it used to be. You know now Raji does, once your house or shop is in the way of his project. Youre getting a notice to leave and theres nothing you can do. Alot of folks paid for the way Lagos is today, but given the result, we all know that it worth it.

Theres how you'll be in a tight small road and be experiencing holdup, you'll be eyeing those houses by the road and wish they were gone. The terrible nightmare those people who live around badagry go through is caused by this issue also, people build all sorts of Shanties and illegal structures very close to the road. Some people even sell those places and give C of O.
SMH.

Lots of building that supported homes and businesses went, remaining one one huge ancient tree. They said anyone that tries to cut that tree is going to die. They brought the priest in charge of the thing in the tree. He said they needed to provide 27 human heads, lol. So the government should go and catch lagosians and cut of their heads abi. The government had lots of money to enjoy, you know na, our national cakes and all. So they negotiated. I read it in the guardian or punch newspaper then so the full story wasn't published, the priest brought it down to 10 heads, and some egunje. Maybe the government in a bid to appease the gods and to build roads we will use today, rounded up hardened criminals that were due for execution and gave them to the gods.
Nigeria government, ha, they wont tell us.

Hopefully the gods did not spit them out.

@Samuelsegs thanks
