Uncle Reno trying to justify his pay. Nothing new!

I can only imagine the many possible reasons that will cause a man to behave in such a way, knowing the consequences. It much have been aggravated provocation!

Maxymilliano:
Amaech is a turban chief in Daura, he is the “Dan Amana Daura” (the trusted son of Daura).

He was turban by The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruq in 2022

Thanks for this clarification and enlightenment.

We need like an entire month to mourn him and think about our lives and all he contributed to it. One day is not enough

I pray for every Nigerian parent struggling to make ends meet. May the Lord make a way for you today in Jesus name!

Meanwhile, there is a potential rise in Electric Vehicles in Nigeria. By that time, the economic value of petroleum would have been undermined by emerging technologies. NNPCL should start thinking out of the box by investing in sustainable sources of energy generation, rather than building "castles" around petroleum.

I commend that school for building such an edifice. Meanwhile, the tide of technology is changing things. In the nearest future, no institution will need such a huge building for any aspect of its operations . . .

No need to stop d boats jst bring them in and deport them back to where they are coming from.....

I'll blame Europe partly for this.... The black man or politician who has no built no school in his community, or industry will come to your country open a bank account and deposit millions, and you won't question it, you'll collect the money and use it to boost your economy...

An African politician who builds substandard schools and hospitals at home often sends his own child abroad for education and travels to Europe for medical treatment, using public funds that could have developed his community.

Until Europe stops allowing corrupt African leaders to access healthcare, education, and security in their countries, these leaders will continue to deny such basic rights at home, and migration to Europe will keep increasing.

They badly depend on those "illicit" funds for the survival of their economies. I daresay that the West is the biggest enabler of corruption in Africa. It is their lifeline. They can't do without corrupt African patrons helping them out! Yet, they behalf like we are the worst. Hypòcrites!

16 years in JSS3? 🤔🤔🤔
Well, congratulations to him.
He just ruined the rest of his life.

Well done Sir. Clap for yourself!

When Electric Vehicles eventually become mainline in Nigeria, I wonder what these people will do with their oil . . .

All I can do is wish her all the best in this tournament.

Host78:
lolz.

You think it's financial fraud?

I said correct me if I'm wrong

Ah! I remember those good old days. Thank God for growth 🙏🙏🙏

Virginity is just an added "icing" on the "cake" of marriage. Some of the main considerations in choosing a spouse include:
- spiritual compatibility
- genotype compatibility
- mutual respect
- a willingness to uphold your commitment to the union regardless
- financial considerations
- physical attraction (or not, this is arguable).

*Every other "consideration" or requirement is dispensable or can be negotiated amongst the parties concerned.

I agree. I discussed this issue with a medical doctor (a Consultant) and he swore it was not possible. I quickly download an app from Google Play Store called "Ada Health App" and we simulated a consultancy session with him acting as the patient. He was shocked at the accuracy of the final results and diagnosis. AI is taking over!

PS: this is not an advert for the Ada Health App

Dtruthspeaker:
You call that world wide disgrace temporary? Ok. I bless you with his situation. Amen

Back to sender by fire! 🔥🔥🔥

kenuoyibo:
He has rerecently been sentenced to 18 years in prison . Am sure it was a way to indirectly punish him for chopping big mens wives apart from the money he stole as their EFCC chairman

But if not for financial fraud, the court wouldn't have a basis to convict him.

Host78:
he got 18 years imprisonment yesterday or so.

Yeah, I heard he was convicted for FINANCIAL FRAUD. Nothing was said about his sēxual indiscretions. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Akalia:
Find the pictorial info and answer to your question. Una no dey hear word.

The conviction was ONLY for financial fraud right? 🤔

nickxtra:
He is currently facing an 8 years charges in court

Yeah, I heard - for FINANCIAL FRAUD. Not for sleeping with anyone's wife 😁

descartes400:
Mr. Baltasar Engonga, in order to sustain and maintain the life styles of these numerous women anf in addition to taking care of his family, had to dabble into embezzlement of public funds which he is currently being tried for and most likely to bag 18 years in jail.

Is that a commendation to you? You can aspire to follow is footsteps. We go read your story for instablogs, nairaland and lindaikeje's blog.....your choice.

You tried to make the correlation without concrete evidence. But what we can prove is that he was convicted for FINANCIAL FRAUD. Let's stay on the matter being discussed. Thank you.

Makschinchin:
You never can tell because you are not Mr. Baltasar Engonga

Well, I guess we'll never know then . . .

naturefellow:
he's in jail. Are you not informed?

I was informed he was convicted for FINANCIAL FRAUD, not for sleeping with anyone's wife. Pls, correct me if I'm wrong.

naturefellow:
he's in jail. Are you not informed?

For financial fraud. Correct me if I'm wrong.

TheAdvocate:
3 days ago, he was sentenced by a court for financial fraud. These are some of the repercussions stated.

"Financial fraud", yeah?

Apart from temporary embarrassment that accompanied the initial revelation, what consequences did Mr. Baltasar Engonga face for sleeping with more than 400 women, most of whom were married?

Biko, allow Wike to sit on whatever he wants to seat on. It is his time to rule and shine. When your own time comes, seat on the floor to address Nigerians. We won't judge you 😁

It sounds like you're at a critical crossroads in your life, and your thoughtful approach shows you're serious about making the right decisions. Let’s break down your concerns systematically to help you make the best choice.

1. Choosing the Right Country
Your target countries (Australia, Canada, and Schengen Europe) are all good options, but each has pros and cons:

Canada
- Pros:
- Easier Permanent Residency (PR) pathways (Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs).
- Spouse can join you on an open work permit.
- Strong tech job market (useful if you transition into cybersecurity).
- Cons:
- High cost of living (especially housing in major cities).
- Competitive job market (entry-level roles may be tough).

Australia
- Pros:
- High demand for skilled migrants (especially in cybersecurity/IT).
- Better weather and lifestyle than Canada.
- Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa can lead to PR.
- Cons:
- PR process can be longer/more complex than Canada.
- Remote location = expensive flights for family visits.

Schengen Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, etc.)
- Pros:
- Free movement across Schengen zone.
- Some countries (e.g., Germany) offer free/low-cost education (if you upskill).
- Strong work-life balance.
- Cons:
- Language barriers (except in places like Ireland, Netherlands).
- Longer citizenship timelines (e.g., Germany: 6-8 years).

Recommendation:
- If PR is top priority → Canada (fastest route via Express Entry).
- If job opportunities + lifestyle matter → Australia.
- If you're open to learning a new language → Germany/Netherlands (tech-friendly).

2. Choosing the Right Skill
Since crypto trading may not be stable abroad, transitioning into a high-demand skill is wise.

Option 1: Cybersecurity (Your Current Interest)
- Pros:
- High demand in Canada/Australia/Europe.
- Pays well (avg. $70K–$120K+ in these countries).
- Cons:
- Requires certifications (CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP).
- You need consistency (but bootcamps can fast-track learning).

Option 2: Tech-Adjacent Roles (Easier Transition)
- Cloud Computing (AWS/Azure): High demand, certifications take 3–6 months.
- Data Analysis: Learn SQL, Python, Tableau (easier entry than cybersecurity).
- Tech Sales/Business Development: [/b]Leverage your crypto experience in fintech.

[b]Option 3: Trade Jobs (If You Want Faster Immigration)
- Canada/Australia need skilled tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, welders).
- Faster PR in some provinces (Canada’s PNP programs favor trades).

Recommendation:
- Stick with cybersecurity if you can commit to 6–12 months of focused learning.
- If you need a quicker route → Cloud certifications or a trade skill.

---

3. Relationship Decision (Marriage vs. Moving First)
This is tricky but depends on:
- If you marry first:
- Pros: You can immigrate together (Canada/Australia allow spousal visas).
- Cons: More financial pressure upfront (two people settling abroad is costly).
- If you move first:
- Pros: You establish stability first, then sponsor your spouse later.
- Cons: Long-distance strain, and some countries make spousal visas slow.

Friends’ Advice (Consider but Don’t Overweight):
- Their concern is valid (settling alone is easier), but if your partner is supportive, migrating together can work.
- Key Question: Is your partner willing/able to work and contribute abroad?

Recommendation:
- If your relationship is strong and she can work → marry first and move together (Canada allows spouse work permits).
- If you need to test stability → move first, then sponsor her after 1–2 years.

Final Action Plan (Before Year-End)
1. Pick a Country (Within 1 Month):
- Research Express Entry (Canada) or Skill Shortage Lists (Australia/Germany).
- If Canada, calculate your CRS score (aim for 470+ for Express Entry).

2. Commit to a Skill (Within 2 Months):
- Enroll in a cybersecurity/cloud certification course (e.g., Google Cybersecurity Cert on Coursera).
- If trades interest you, research Canada’s PNP trades pathways.

3. Relationship Decision (Within 3 Months):
- Have an honest talk with your partner about timelines and expectations.
- If marrying, start paperwork early (marriage certs take time).

4. Save Aggressively & Exit Crypto (If Needed):
- Liquidate crypto holdings into stable assets before moving (banks scrutinize crypto funds).
- Ensure you have at least $10K–$15K for initial settlement.

Key Reminder:
- Speed matters, but don’t rush into a bad decision.
- Canada is the safest bet for PR + family migration.
- If cybersecurity feels overwhelming, switch to cloud/data roles.
- A supportive partner is an asset, not a burden—if she’s the right one.

You’ve got this! Make a plan, execute ruthlessly, and by 2026, you could be settled in your new country. 🚀

I just noticed that everyone who supported APC in the last elections is currently regretting - except those chopping the national chin-chin (and their mindless minions) 🤔🤔🤔
