I seriously don't know why some people fear having children. Maybe because I am a male and I wouldn't go through child bearing.

peope are wicked, I wonder how some people sleep at night. Or probably their conscience is dead. We humans treat ourselves worst, even animals do better

is it today?? As Nigerians no matter what we face the idea is to quickly pick ourselves up. The hardship in the country is making people break barriers when it comes to demeaning actions towards their other persons. Something that shouldn't be the case.

Hello, bro


I was following ur comments and others on this thread.
A friend is talking about Belarus...
Can u share Ur ordeal about the Turkey experience

why not? I was to resume my 3year studies in school but I refused instead I went to stay with my dad in Ekiti so that I could process my document. The first red flag was when I was told it would be a non appearance visa(not appearing at the embassy),I relayed my fears to my dad and his response was that I kept my doubts to myself. The second red flag was when the visa came out and it was a five year visa with all ready made employment to one construction company in moldova, so I quickly googled it but met no company with such name,the same sequence with my dad occurred like the first do I kept mute. The D-Day for departure came and I was very excited, I travelled down from Ekiti to lagos expecting to move from MM lagos airport but I was told I would have to move through cotonou! I nudged my dad to atleast argue the departure airport with them but he still declined. It was later after I have been deported and having faced lots of hardship that I discovered they(the visa agents) chose cotonou because their bribery money was far cheaper than that of lagos. They bribed those cotonou airport officials to overlook my visa so that I would be allowed to board the plane. But when I got to turkey via ata-turk airport I was suppose to transit to ukraine through another flight,that was when the unbribable "oyinbo" in charge raised the alarm that my visa was fake. So I was deported same day got to Nigeria the next day.

Ravenna:
The op failed to highlight many things involved.
He must be a rookie in the trucking industry.

In trucking, it's either you're a light duty driver or a heavy duty driver.

I doubt the OP making a pass at Dangote Transport driving test cos its a different thing driving ten tyre/mini trucks compared to heavy duty 22 tyre trucks.
Some driver move tomatoes, animals and foodstuffs while other move biscuits but for you to truck 45 tons of cement or Fuel/gas day in day out is on another level.

Drivers get grade.

drivers get grade? You are just on the path to scare these already stricken guys about articulated trucks. If driving the 22 tires you mentioned is making you feel like a well elevated truck lord remember it's someone that manufactured them. As far as I know a tipper driver that can drive a manual 10-20 tons can also drive your almighty 40-60 tons. Abi is the difference not the swift withdrawals of speed,heavy feel to the steering control,directing the long body into corners and reverse? People self learn reverse by themselves. My boss who taught me truck driving taught himself MACK trucks and reverse. The man after spending months in hunger couldn't bear it any longer and accepted to drive a Mack articulated truck when all his experience was limited to short tipper.

Calitoscassius:
Really? I haven't heard such news, but it might be true, if it is then it might be drivers from the EU i would think. I will inquire more, if it is true try and apply for the job.

please do help me and inquire, as I was told it's 3month working visas to offset the shortage for rest of the year. But I am suspecting the same EU specs you mentioned. Thanks anyways

VeeJewel:
The haulage industry says the U.K. is short as many as 100,000 truckers, due to a perfect storm of factors including the coronavirus pandemic, an aging workforce and an exodus of foreign workers following Britain’s departure from the European Union last year. Post-Brexit immigration rules mean EU citizens can no longer live and work visa-free in Britain, as they could when the U.K. was a member of the bloc.

Several countries, including the United States and Germany, also are experiencing a shortage of truck drivers. But the problem has been especially visible in Britain, where it has contributed to empty supermarket shelves and shuttered gas pumps.

The government says panic buying is worsening the petrol supply problem, and urged people not to hoard fuel. On Sunday, it announced it is temporarily suspending competition laws so fuel firms can share information and target areas where supply is running low.

U.K.’s Conservative government announced Saturday that it will issue thousands of emergency visas to foreign truck drivers to help prevent a Christmas without turkey or toys for many British families. The government said it would issue 5,000 three-month visas for truck drivers starting in October, and another 5,500 for poultry workers which the visas are due to expire on Dec. 24.

7 Best Countries to Work as a Truck Driver.

1. Australia

The trucking business in Australia is blooming more than ever. Australian trucker's average salary can be as much as $70,000 (USD), and increases if goods are transferred from one state to another. If you opt to drive an interstate truck, your salary can rise to $100,000 (USD) annually.

2. Norway

Apart from the trucking profession, Norway offers the best job opportunities to all kinds of professions due to its stable economic system. Truck drivers work five days a week and no more than 7.5 hours a day, and a trucker's average annual salary is $58,000 (USD). However, if truckers are willing to work additional hours, they can earn up to $90,000 (USD) annually.

3. The USA
​
The American economy depends largely on the transportation of goods and services, so truck drivers' demand increases regularly. The strong trucking industry in the US is expected to grow significantly in the upcoming years, so they need truckers. The average salary of truckers in the United States is around $53,000. The best part about becoming a professional trucker is you can start early and don't need a college degree to step into the professional world.

4. Canada

One of the world's most inclusive and diverse countries, Canada is a hot spot for business start-ups and the trucking industry. When it comes to trucking, truck drivers are paid handsomely. The average annual salary of a truck driver is $56,000 (USD), whereas if you opt to be a local pick-up and delivery trucker, you are all set to make nearly $40,000 (USD) in a year. Your salary in Canada also depends on your trucking experience. If you become a long-haul trucker, your annual income can reach $100,000 (USD).

5. Switzerland

Switzerland isn't only one of the most beautiful countries globally, but it also happens to be one of the highest-paying countries for truckers. As a foreigner working in Switzerland, you can earn an average income of $64,000 (USD). However, depending on your experience, work hours, and vehicle type, you can also earn up to $90,000 (USD), but the distance travelled plays a crucial role in determining the income.

6. Sweden

The average annual salary of a trucker in Sweden can be up to $33,000 (USD), and Sweden hosts two of the biggest truck manufacturing companies on the globe. Because the trucking scene is quite high, truckers are surely the country's asset.

7. Netherlands
​
Netherlands is one of the richest countries globally and is number 17 in the list of the world's biggest economies. If you are a truck driver, you will find many work opportunities in this country, and can expect an average annual salary to be slightly above $40,000 (USD).

abeg I am a truck driver who has a valid international passport. I want to travel but don't know how to go about it.

Calitoscassius:
Demand for Truckers are are high all over the world not just Canada and America. But if your heart is set for The US and Canada go for it!

please sir is the news that the UK are inviting truck drivers down to uk with temporary visas because of excessive shortage of work force... I have heard it from two sources today.

Good day Nairalanderz, I'm thinking of setting up a farm/ranch in Oyo due to the cheap rate at which lands are sold but various news in the media about attacks on farmlands and kidnappings along that route is making me have a major rethink.

Can anyone around Eruwa and Iseyin, Ibarapa LGA or one who constantly plies those route please give an honest opinion of the situation.

Thank you.

Are you ok? Which crime did I visit? Even when I was a Muslim, I never did any of those rubbish listed. Is it now that I've found the way, the truth and the light that I want to join cult?

Mangekyo:
Is he not a rapist tho?

how is he a RAPIST

Mangekyo:
Very happy the old fraudulent gay rapist didn't go to man city as he would've been receiving well placed passes from the world class players in city to tapin.
Pendulum scammed we the juventus fans by not winning the ucl he promised us after we broke our bank to sign him. He instead threatened to take us to Europa league last season but was benched on the last game, reason his plans failed. Now he has dumped us for man utd after leaving us broken and in pieces. Ronaldo is a FRAUD and A RAPIST.
Can't wait to see him get exposed in epl like a fraud that he is

fraud I can understand but what lost me is the RAPIST part. Okay I don forget say juve get yanch�

Iyaebe:
Funny you guy's don't really understand women, I can boldly tell you that Pero is ruining that marriage intentionally,take this to the banks.

A woman chosen among other women with marriage should be wise enough to bear all her husband's excesses. The high ratio of un married women to the ready made marriageable men should be enough reason for a house wife to learn being civic whenever these trying times pop up.

tensazangetsu20:
Tech twitter has been on fire this past few days. First was the new startup law being passed that will see the government taking one percent of startup revenue especially fintechs and the second was the closure of accounts belonging to fintech companies like risevest, investbamboo, and trove. This is just 2 months after the crypto ban.

I predicted this will happen a few months back but some people as usual called me a pessimist. Now, this has happened. They came for gokada first citing stupid reasons yet okadas are still in Lagos driving anyhow. They blocked remittances and made it very difficult to receive money. If you work remotely in Nigeria for a foreign company, you can attest to how difficult it is to receive money. I know people who have lost their jobs just because the companies they work for could not figure out how they could pay them in Nigeria then add the epileptic electricity supply and the bad internet.

If you are a programmer, trust me you are amongst the elite. Walai every day I regret not discovering the tech industry earlier. There's a fucking huge demand for programmers outside the shores of Africa. Latin America, Europe, and Asia. A lot of people think japa and will be thinking USA and Canada. Getting a work visa to these countries as a Nigerian living in Nigeria is almost impossible. It has happened for some people but its not the norm and you should not place your hope on it. The USA has a cap on the amount of work visas that go out every year and those visas most times go to OPT candidates (people who have schooled in the US). Canada doesnt have a cap but they prefer permanent residents or citizens to processing a work visa from scratch for an outsider. Australia same thing.

There are other countries that exist that do not have a cap on work visas and are desperately looking for programmers. These countries can be used as a stepping stone to your final dream destination instead of wasting your life in Nigeria looking for a US or Canadian visa. Countries like portugal, spain, brazil, mexico, vietnam, japan, south korea. The list is endless. These are countries desperately looking for programmers and their work visas arent difficult to get. Their governments are even encouraging tech migration to prepare for the next industrial revolution. As a Nigerian you have a serious advantage getting there. You speak English. English is the unofficial defacto language of the IT industry. If you go on linkedin and search tech jobs in this countries, you would find out that one of the requirements for most of these jobs is professional english proficiency. Their citizens dont have it and a few who have it are headhunted to countries like the US and Canada leaving a huge gap for skilled third worlders like Nigerians to take advantage of. A japanese programmer who speaks english really well can get into the USA easily. Japan has a visa waiver program with the USA and is one of the few countries that shares a working holiday visa with the US. Brazil has one with germany. Uruguay has with sweden. These are countries you should target because their own people are leaving presenting a very huge gap. Once you can get into these countries, leaving to your dream destination isnt too difficult and even if you dont want to leave, these countries have a lot of opportunities for you to build your own tech business. Their governments are very progressive. Their people arent poor or getting poorer and are very open to using technology. Theres another way of getting to the US via L1 company transfer but how many american tech companies exist in Nigeria and whats the size of the engineering team? These countries have as much 2000 to 3000 size engineering teams. You can move there, switch jobs to an american company and request for an L1 company transfer. The possibilities are limitless.

I myself started testing this theory out and I have gotten ten interviews from companies in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Vietnam, and Chile. I am in the mid way of 3 and I really hope one goes through as I want to leave the zoo fast.

You might say stay in Nigeria and start a tech business. Well with what the government is doing to startups and the purchasing power of Nigerians reducing everyday, I dont know how that would be viable. NIgeria is so bad to the point that to eat food is a problem. Growing up, Nigeria was never at a level where food will be a problem. Festival periods and we would have food from all our neighbours even the poorest. Now thas not done and the worst is yet to come.

You can say stay in Nigeria and continue remote. Trust me remote work is sweet in your 20s but a sponsorship job is better as you would be provided insurance for, pension plans and all of that which remote work wont give you and remote jobs arent stable especially with small companies. You can lose them anytime and you need to start looking again. Its not bad in your 20s but will you be doing this at 40 and above. Will you be applying to remote jobs at 50 when your mates who migrated are CTOs for fortune 500 companies earning millions of dollars every year while you are looking for scraps in remote.

Make haste o.

here is my own dilemma, I am a truck driver very much employed (gainfully), but I have this passion to learn programming. Of course the nature of my job can't give me the chance for person tutelage. So sincerely I want to ask if I can develop it personally,if yes which of the programs is best suited for beginners. And also whenever I decide to start and end up hitting am impasse of understanding the next step can you act as a source of online tutor?
