sirgalahad26: It's better than paying $20k-$30k per year in North American schools and the equivalent in Europe too. MDX is a prestigious institution in the UK so I think it's best if I attend their Mauritius campus. Paying less to get more. Total cost for the whole program duration is under 10m naira, show me a prestigious school in Europe and North America that can beat that and I might change my mind. Surely, you must have a valid reason for being so keen on studying at a “prestigious” university. I’ll respect that! Might I leave a word of advice here? Outside your home country, especially in Europe, the job market for white collar does not necessarily favour Nigerians who attended prestigious schools. |

Bad idea!
It’s easy to deduce you aren’t from Nigeria’s affluent society; you’re a hustler and seek to work your way up. You’re currently trying to save the millions, yes?
You both cannot afford to arrive in a foreign country at the same time and test the waters with both feet — let one person go first, learn, get a job, save, and pave way for the other partner’s smooth landing.
Without some money and a job, the first six months abroad is (and was) hellish for everyone. |

Everything Nigerian girl can offer you can be gotten for less than 100k a month ...with 100k you can get someone to clean your house , cook the local dishes you like , wash and iron your clothes and still be very appreciative
White girls are the goal abeg Is it just me or are all Nigerian and white girls, and dare I say every woman on earth, the same? The whiteys I live and work with here want money, want dates and flowers and gadgets, and still aren’t all down for supporting you with cash. Just like Nigerian women, too, only old white woman are ready to selflessly spend on you if that’s what y’all woke Nigerian men want! |
Politics › 2023: My Prophecy About Peter Obi’s Candidacy. by AllKnowing(op): 8:07pm On Sep 13, 2022 |
There’s been an appreciable furore about Peter Obi’s emergence as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party. So here’s what I prophesy to happen...
Peter Obi will not win.
Don’t get me wrong. Where our only other choices are Atiku and Tinubu, then we may as well hand over the top job to Peter Obi. Yet, he will not win. This is solely because his victory rests on the one level of Nigerian society that has no say in matter of politicking — the masses!
Peter Obi’s emergence will only serve as a catalyst for another remarkable event. Read on...
One of the heavy-weights will be announced winner by INEC; I honestly do not care who! Nigeria’s youths, who through the ENDSARS movement discovered their disruptive voice, will take to the streets in a near-revolution. Unfortunately, there won’t be much change. Nigeria bleeds and urgently needs healing, but she isn’t out of the woods yet.
Her parasites persist and, God help her, they intend to suck her to comatose. |

Nope. Well, you’re not entirely correct.
I’ve got quite a number of Africans in my apartment block. I’m friends with a lot of nationals; some are my colleagues. But here’s the thing:
Firstly, hanging out costs money. And you know you’ve got to save as much as you can to afford bills. Consequently, hangouts are few and far between.
Secondly, I’ve come to understand that most people live by the clock; there’s literally a time for everything. Most certainly, it isn’t always “talking to the neighbor” time. |

This’ll be quick. You’ve got a skill, OP; you’ve definitely picked up salient information from your current job and employer over the years. Yes yes, useful knowledge/ information is also a SKILL! I said it!
What do I advise:
1. Armed with 3M you could, starting January, try to replicate a business similar to the company’s where you work. Use only 35% of this 3M as your initial capital. Do not start a business you haven’t apprenticed at. If by June 2023 your business hasn’t got some form of traction, then activate my second suggestion...
2. Leave Nigeria. Avoid the popular pitfall of aiming at USA, or Canada, or UK, or Germany with 2.6M balance. Give Austria or Finland or Norway or France a shot.
Godspeed, Sir!
Addendum:
1. To all those asking how 3M can finance a japa trip, I really hope you have an active browser on your phone. The world doesn’t start and end with the UK or US. Other first world nations exist and there’s something called “scholarships” and “tuition waivers”. |
Travel › Re: Notice To Those Who Wish To Live In Japan by AllKnowing: 8:20am On Aug 31, 2022 |
LienwaltAbel: TL; DR : Forget about japaing to Japan if you can't devote tons of hours of your time to learning how to read, write and speak Japanese. 
Now the Japanese speak only Japanese. Well, this doesn't seem like much, but it is much. You have to learn Japanese to be able to have day to day conversations with people, read billboards and signs, and most importantly: get a job or even school there. Japanese in Japan is as essential as water. So what do you do. You can change your dream country probably to New Zealand, Australia or whatever English speaking country you love or you could sit down and learn this piece of shite of a language.
Japanese is easy to speak. Within a month (of dedicated learning) you'd be quite comfortable with it. Just like me. Ohaiyō gozaimasu, Watashi wa Eiberu desu. This means Good morning, I am Abel. Note that I changed the spelling of my name because the Japanese usually change English names to suit their tongue.
Since it seems so easy, why am I making it look hard? Number one, Japanese don't use the Latin alphabet at all. So that crap I wrote up there is shit. Number two, the writing system of the Japanese is extremely difficult to master.
Japanese has two writing systems: kana and Kanji. Kana is further divided into hiragana and katakana while kanji is just kanji. Kana is easy as it is very close to the alphabet system of writing and is kind of constant (what you read is what you pronounce) but kanji on the other hand is just silly.
Kanji was directly copied from the Chinese hanzhi system centuries ago before kana was made by a Japanese Buddhist monk. İt is like the Egyptian hieroglyphics, but instead of having nice beautiful wholesome drawings, you have some ugly set of characters that require you to decrypt their meanings. The worst thing about kanji is not even how silly and unrelated the characters are to their meanings most of the time, the worst thing about it is it's unbelievable size. This piece of shite of a system has over 5000 characters/radicals and hell even after learning the so-called 3000 or 2500 average, you'd still meet a new one one day. Oh and I forgot to mention another annoying shit about the kanji system: it's pronunciation when used in a word is hardly ever consistent. For example this character 日 is normally pronounced nichi, but in this word 日本 it becomes Nihon that is Japan. This looks easy but what about this 3日, it's pronunciation is now jitsu. you see, this is even worse than English's terrible spelling system.
Having said this, if you have two years to waste, you can waste it learning Japanese or you can learn something like German or Finnish and head to these countries (i think Finnish is easier). However, you could just go to an English speaking country and put the work aside. Nope. I’m battling with 15 noun cases in Finnish. That means a given word changes in 15 ways depending on the subject-verb agreement. |

No one can fault the Emirati Government for insisting that Nigerian Immigrants have some skin in the game; a family man with a loving wife and kids will hardly think to walk around the streets of Dubai, in knickers, and brandishing a machete.
So, just as well, maybe. This diplomatic impasse may birth better migration opportunities for Nigerians residing in the UAE (maybe 10 years down the line).
My everyday prayer is Nigerians living out here with me do not take to vices that’ll give us all a bad rep. |

Eriokanmi: Passport will go to babalawo's house, to destroy the man's life patapata. Ashęwo are agents of destruction. If you're reading this as a guy who wants to achieve good things in life, decist from lustful way of life. Each time you have sex, one glory is gone...just the way a boxing champion loses belts after a defeat, those belts lost in one fight must have taken them years of efforts to garner, same is human glory. This is word of wisdom stick to it my son and you shall be prosperous.
My personal encounter with sex and how it almost destroyed my life...
I was posted to a state for my nysc in those days, there I met a girl at mammy Market where I always went to eat cos those watery stuffs at the kitchen no dey appeal to me. I met this pretty girl who came to assist her sister sell food. As I didn't know where I was going to be posted for my PPA, I asked for his address. GSM just came into the country barely a few months earlier so, no opportunity to echange numbers. When I got settled at my PPA, I sent her a letter which she received and with which she traced me.
In short, we had sex that night with some kind of resistance from her. She told me she was a virgin and that was her first time. I apologised and she said ok. This girl left the following day and that was the beginning of my predicament. I wrote loads of job applications after nysc, no jobs. My result was good and I always did well in interviews and aptitude tests in great FMCGs. One day, I was asked by my aunt to accompany her to a Thursday programme in a church. Reluctantly, I followed her. After the programme, we went to see the pastor who asked me to kneel down. As he was praying, he asked who did you have sex with and blood came out of her? I told him. He now said she's sitting on my glory because she had vowed that whoever had sex with her would be her husband in the spirit realm but i broke her vow. That I can never get a job, even if they're dashing people for free unless I was delivered. He asked me to fast for 3 days with prayer points. On the day I went to see him, he said I should repeat it cos he was still seeing some signs. I went back afterwards. He said 2 of the fasting were effective. That the 3rd one wasn't effective because I was watching hiphop music after breaking the fast instead of listening to a gospel song. Truly i went to see a friend who switched on his TV and we were watching American hiphop music. I was shocked.
To cut the long story sbort, he prayed for me after repeating the last one and said I'd see the hand of God soon.
Barely a month after the prayer, I was invited by one of the foremost companies in Ikeja for job interview. I met crowd there who were also applicants. In the end, I got the job. How did it happen? A guy was asked to give me an interview letter from lagos. Then I was staying with my brother in ibadan. May God punish me if I'm fabricating this story... he was asked to give me the letter in person and he must not return to lagos unless I acknowledge the letter. He didn't meet me at home. My people searched everywhere for me. I went to see an uncle cos boredom wan kill me for house and I was tired of applying for jobs. By the time I came back, my people mobbed me asking where have I gone to? They gave me the number to call cos the guy had gone somewhere but promised to come back later. I called him and he was ranting on phone. I asked him to calm down cos I never remembered if I actually applied to that company. Its been a long time. So, we met and I acknowledged the letter, he now left.
I got the job to the glory of God. One day my boss invited me and said, for some reason I withheld your application after shortlisting. We had employed the first batch some months but I didn't have rest of mind so I asked them to invite you. I was among the few employed. I applied genuinely through guardian newspaper while others came in through man know man. Guardian was the major newspaper where people used to apply for jobs in those days cos there was no Internet.
There I met my wife whom I married as a virgin, a year after, I travelled to America for training and came back, joined another great company . I was changing jobs like shoes before I finally established my own company in which I'm doing very well by God's grace. Its very popular in Nigeria today. I come to nairaland to comment at my leisure cos I don't share my time with any oga. I be oga of myself. To the glory of God, ny job had taken me to America to see barak Obama .
There was a colleague of mine who was living with a girl while in school as if they're married. I graduated before him. He had a reference in one cheap course like that. After clearing the reference he still couldn't graduate so I asked him to follow me to a vigil. After the programme I took him to a man of God for prayers. The man said, who is Bola( not her real name) and he said my gf. He continued praying and asked him to open his eyes asked, who's Bimbo( not her real name) he said his gf and the man responded, ę feran obinrin gan shaa . Meaning you must like women so much. He asked again who's chioma( not her real name) he said his gf. The man said its Bimbo who's on your matter. That she entered school while you were rounding up and she once told you she'd graduate together with you but you thought it was a joke. He said she had had several disappointments in her relationship so she went to a herbalist who made incisions in her private part and said whoever met her next would be caught in the Web and bondage and he'd not leave until he married her.
He said that's the reason for all the setbacks he's been having. He prayed for him, asked him to go and fast for 7 days . When he finished, he now warned him never to set his eyes on her again. This guy graduated and served successfully. Today, he's a citizen in the USA. Fear women and sex. Hate it with passion. God bless. God punish you! |
