My first full year working as a nurse, I made hella money. Specifically $133,000. Armed with my USA passport, I have traveled to Ethiopia, Mozambique, Portugal. With each trip, my mindset changes. I currently have no regrets ditching medical school and leaving Nigeria.
Maybe one day, I will write about my trips. Maybe I will fall back in love with writing. For now, I will read through my posts and relish the simpler times. smiley
Ah! I see you live in Chitown and doing good career-wise. More power to your elbows.

That's insightful. It's a two-way street though. Strategy should be the keyword when engaging in the distress sale of luxury property or any other piece of real estate. Diasporans gain in terms of investing and those leaving the continent for whatever also gain.

Na wetin I dey tell myself since 2016 until this year I started making ₦300-₦400k per week on crypto currency .

for those asking, i will only give you clue, i dont like explaining things in full details. don't disturb me with mention about how to do this or dat. i wont reply, if you cant figure out shiit by yourself then remain sleeping.

Binance + my 1000 USDT on stake.com = 1.30 or 1.40 odd gives you N300k - N400k weekly.

or if 1000USDT is too much for you. Do 100 USDT with 1.50 odd to give you N50,000 weekly.

if you cant get yourself ordinary 1.30 or 1.40 odd then you have no business staking. period.

millions of Nigerians are making money like this without noise.

Sully lost both engines to bird strike and managed to glide a 737 without power and at low altitude into the Hudson and managed to dodge all those tall buildings without thrust and saved the life of everyone onboard and potential casualties on the ground.
Can't say the same for this all female crew who overshot the runway and crashed a fully functional plane into the sea,such rudimentary ops oo.
Imagine if they were in Sully's shoes? grin
Absolutely. The similarities between Sully and this Navy aircraft only lies in the way they both rested and floated on water, though Hudson river was icy as of the time of the incident.

This is why flight simulators exist to train and retrain, Military and civilian pilots on how to handle different flight scenarios.

Thank goodness no casualty was lost though.

Foreign AffairsRe: German Tech Company Just Paid Michelle Obama $741,000 For 1 Hour Speech by AlphaTaikun:
1stGenAmerican:
Michelle Obama raked in nearly $750,000 for a one-hour speech at a tech fair in the southern German city of Munich on Monday, DailyMail.com has learned.The 59-year-old picked up the eye-watering check for speaking to a start-up event held on the sidelines of the annual Oktoberfest beer festival, two sources close to the conference organizers said.
According to the event's webpage, the ex-attorney was set to speak to some 5,000 attendees on how to 'push past self-doubt while discussing the importance of inclusivity and diversity.'
The Harvard graduate will be paid 700,000 euros for her appearance at the three-day love-in for European entrepreneurs, which is roughly the equivalent of $741,000. Organizers said Mrs Obama had 'topped the list' of people that participants wanted to take part 'year after year.'
'They really pulled out all the stops to get her,' said one person close to the team behind the annual 'Bits and Pretzels' forum. 'It's one of the highest fees that they have ever paid.’ That sum is nearly double what Biden earns in a year as president.

Axios previously reported that Michelle Obama could be booked for $200,000, while her husband cost $400,000. Her fellow speakers include Oliver Kahn, a former German soccer star turned entrepreneur.The Bits & Pretzels conference is set over three days and hears from founders of national and international companies that tell their success stories, as well as guest speakers like Michelle Obama.

Michelle Obama was the United States' First Lady from January 2009 to January 2017, when her husband Barack served two consecutive terms as the commander-in-chief. She has been mooted in recent months as a possible alternative candidate to Joe Biden, 80, if he decided to pull out of the 2024 presidential race amid concerns over his cognitive abilities. Democrat Party bigwigs are worried that Biden could end up losing to resurgent GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

Even the Biden-bashing Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, believes Obama is preparing to run despite her denials.

'Here's the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely, and most dangerous,' he said on his podcast. 'In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.'

She commands wide support among the American people, and throughout her time in the White House the former first lady consistently gained sky-high approval ratings, according to Gallup. In a recent YouGov poll, 77 percent of people said they still had a favorable opinion of her, compared to just 15 percent unfavorable. And 71 percent of Americans and half of all Democrats say Biden is too old to be president and most voters say they are worse off since he took power, according to a damning DailyMail.com poll from June.

Former president Barack Obama also spoke to the same Munich forum a mere three years ago in a keynote address that focused on 'entrepreneurial spirit and leadership skills.'However his fee for that appearance has never been disclosed, but he picked up nearly $700,000 for two speeches in Australia earlier this year. Upon leaving the White House, the ex-presidential couple, married since 1992, have focused on boosting their earning power through lucrative speaking engagements as well as a $65 million publishing deal with Penguin for their memoirs.

Together, they set up their joint production company 'Higher Ground', signing a multi-year 'eight figure' contract with streaming giant Netflix in 2018.Last year, the former First Lady staged a six-city U.S. tour for her recent tome, The Light We Carry, in which she explained to readers the habits and practices, attitudes and beliefs that she uses to overcome her fears.

The mother-of-two gets a Secret Service security detail whenever she travels at home or abroad at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer.
It is thanks, in part, to a law brought in by President Obama in 2013 that restored lifetime protection for former presidential spouses and their family members.

That piece of legislation reversed a 1994 statute that had capped Secret Service protection at a maximum of just ten years for presidents who took office after Jan 1, 1997.

DailyMail.com has contacted a spokesperson for Michelle Obama for comment.
An insightful thread.

A hefty sum of 750,000 USD for an hour-long speech! That's intellectual capital in motion.

I already can see 1stGenAmerican using her gift-of-the-garb as an attorney to command a 7-figure income for just a one-hour speech. Far more than Michelle can ever command.

Me: "Can I get an affirmative amen to that..."
Audience: "Yes! Ameeeeeeeen."

It's time to consolidate on my Toastmasters skills as well.

Talk to you later.
Take care... Ciao! wink

Foreign AffairsRe: Amad: Former Mayor of Johannesburg Pictured Wielding Rifle In Support Of Hamas by AlphaTaikun:
WannaHowzit:
On Tuesday morning, Amad posted two images of himself carrying a rifle, on his X profile, with the caption: "We stand with Hamas. Hamas stands with us, together we are Palestin and Palestin will be free. With our souls, with our blood, we will conquer Al AQSA (sic)."

By the afternoon Amad appeared to have removed the post.

Defending his post, Amad added: "Seeing a silent picture incites a reaction depending on what lenses you are wearing. One is able to make a determination of violence (sic)."

"… I hope you can determine if the rifle is a toy or not since it's okay for the selected public to see violence in the picture of a protest(ing) person. People should not be told how to protest in South Africa."

When asked about ownership of the weapon and whether his post might incite violence, Amad instead declared his support for Palestine and Hamas.

He called on people who stand for the liberation of Palestine to protect themselves against those inciting violence against them.

"We do not condone violence. We will never condone violence. We understand that we have an obligation to continue the fight against apartheid. When political parties in South Africa openly declared war against Hamas, that was never interpreted as violence," he said.

In April this year, Amad resigned from the mayoral position hours before a planned motion of no confidence could be tabled against him.
Thapelo Amad has to step back a bit and not get too emotive about his support. The Arabs and Jews never liked Black folks from back in time or over the centuries while using racial slurs and both Arabs and Israelis have both committed acts of terror against one another. The Arabs have committed more terror on a larger scale though.
