I read it earlier with huge laughter. It’s a great interview by a great king. Bless him.

orobs93:
Can isend a pm

Yes.

AreaFada2:
You wonder about many people on this Nairaland my brother.

Honestly. It’s illiteracy.

EgunMogaji:
Not only that but it's not even for US. It's for rinkdink Georgia.

"an honorary citizenship of the State of Georgia"

Thanks for this.

emmie14:
....You are right bro...."Honorary citizenship does not carry with it the rights and privileges of ordinary citizenship, and such status does not confer any special entry, travel or immigration benefits upon the honoree or the honoree's relatives and dependants."

Thanks for sharing these better facts.

orobs93:
hello sir we chat on these?

You chat me up.

Honorary citizenship gives no rights,not even free travel.

So read more, Mr Poster.

He was given a Honorary citizenship. You guys should learn to read and understand properly.

Your views needed please.

Canada is great for lawyers, but you need to get licensed to practice and explore the vast opportunities. The process of licensing takes some time, as you need to get your legal education from Nigeria assessed to enable them determine the number of exams you need to write. Then, there is the Bar exams and other processes including articling. It takes time, resources, study and all. It is doable as I and some others are currently in the process. Of course, we are Permanent Residents.


Canadian universities offer LLM programs tailored to meet the requirements for getting licensed. Getting into any of those will help make the process easy.

I studied in the UK, but going through the processes like my friends from Nigeria and common law jurisdictions around the world.

Canada is a great place, I feel so at home than I ever did studying law in the U.K. to PhD level. I know and see many people who came from Naija a year or two ago doing so well. The government invests in many schemes to make settling down here quite easy. Mentoring schemes, settler programmes and agencies, agencies that recruit for jobs, teach skills that help get into work fast and all.

Yet, be realistic in your plans as it takes 1-3 years to settle fully into any of these Western countries and better explore opportunities for better life. But there are many survival opportunities for the earlier days.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

You can as well ask whether a boyfriend should ever give a girlfriend money.

I sometimes don't know how this direct message on nairaland works. I don't know if it be OK if I reach u on my mail or whatsapp.

What is your email address?

Just2endowed2:
You seems to know more and well vast in living in Canada. I am kind of naive and I will not mind getting a mentor. I have always admire Canada and Germany/Sweden.

I know just a little as I moved here in April. But I am paying attention to learn fast. I can share the little I know and learn.

Yes, mentoring is the surest path to success in any area of life and dreams. I am glad you know this. Send me messages with questions and I can answer or find answers from more experienced friends.

I can help introduce you to some friends living in Germany to help share knowledge and experience with you too. Feel free to send me a direct message.

I'm in software industry, not academia but I have engineering education which is data-centric.

Great. Well done.

Jaafar should run away for his dear life.

Honestly, any man who does what he has done in the name of investigative journalism is playing with martyrdom in a country like Nigeria.

He should run away from Nigeria for another 15 years, if you ask me.

Empty lies. Atiku controls Intels and owns majority shares.

Intels was established by the late Shehu Yar’Adua and Atiku. At his death, Atiku took over majority shares, leaving few for Yar’adua’s family.

Atiku brought the Italian mafia from Sicily to run it. The Volpi guy is just a front for Atiku. Other minor shareholders include Tinubu and Uche Secondus.

planetx:
I have a family member who just relocated to Canada with her husband, she was really disappointed and her high expectations was dashed. She basically said to get jobs there na real wahala.

Fulfilment and life’s opportunities are relative. For many people in ICT, finance, business analysis and others, it is quite easy to get jobs. For people of the traditional professions, the licensing process and all mean that it takes time to meet the requirements for jobs in the short term. With patience and determination, they make lots of money in the medium and long term. I am a lawyer and still trying to get licensed.


What professions are they in? They do need Canadian work experience on their resumes to get jobs.The only way to get it is by volunteering and internships. The Canadian government invests heavily on these. Tell them to be patient and work the path, it’s not automatic unless they studied here.

I am a very practical person. I can tell you that it’s easier for immigrants to succeed here than anywhere in the world. The jobs people fight for in the U.K., nobody applies for them here. I am happy to chat more on this.

revontuli:
I'm not single, I hate kids, I'm not bored, I'm very busy and have no time to get bored, last but not least I'm only attracted to blonde and very tall German & Scandinavian men

LOL...Nice.

I read your contributions and they made me log in. You are sound and I like your data-centric views. Are you in the academia?

Well done.

Countries led by tyrants, Islamic extremists and at war.

I studied and lived in the U.K. for 9 years, it wasn’t bad. Outside their shops and access to fine food and wine from all cultures and peoples, I never loved it. Will be there soon for my viva or so.


I live in Canada now, it feels better and a happier place for me. Moved here in April, still early days.

The place I really love is Nigeria, my home. Despite challenges, it’s the best place for me. I am always at peace and happy whenever I am in Naija. The life is easy and the people are beautiful. I can’t wait to be back home permanently in another 3-4 years.

Odingo1:
You guys don't like Nigeria and very naive about situation of things in Nigeria, you think that core Hausa-fulanis don't know that Nigeria will disintegrate without restructuring in nearby future.

They are no bigots like your people. We love Nigeria and make more contributions to its growth than your idle and petty lamentations.

gurnam:
Show me any link to any speech in the 16 years of PDP that Atiku mentioned the word Restructuring!

You are expecting a Fulani man to come and restructure Nigeria for you by taking away all his privileges in SS away from him and giving it to indigenous people of SS?

It’s either you are disingenuously naive or patently mischievous

Don’t mind the dumb guys. The north will stone Atiku over the restructuring gambit and deservingly reject him. I expect APC to draw him out to sing it more to the hearing of the core Hausa-Fulanis.

All his foreign certificates are one to few days’ workshops.

I like Obi as a human being, but educationally, Peter Obi made THIRD class in philosophy from UNN.

I am with Buhari. Sai Baba!

Olayinka777:
Has anyone heard of Lagos street in Garki? Heard that is another happening place.

Not anymore. It has faded after some demolitions.I was there last week, lost the parade of pleasure merchants that it boasted in the late 1900s to about 2010.

SarakiBukola:
Been hearing rumours about Wike being a Double Agent working for APC.....

Can somebody shed more light?

If he is truly pushing Danwankabo forward instead of Atiku / Saraki, that is a pointer

He is pushing Tambuwal in exchange for vp slot.

Classic. Expected. Gratifying.

APC!

That is a PDP presidential aspirants meeting at the Rivers State Governor’s lodge in Abuja.

meolaniyi:
What l heard from my lgbo friends is that lgbos are not against anybody even presenting his wife.
But Okorocha and APC are taboo in Igboland. The also said Kwakwasiya is loved by his people and the whole Kano is begging his son inlaw to contest

They must really love him for him to sneak in to beg protesters and associates in Kano yesterday, right?

There goes PDP’s hope of serious votes from Kano in flames!

tonyfrenzy:
Because it is very unlikely any party can wrestle power from APC in Lagos state at the moment.
Moving on could be a disaster, however that could be his last option.

Who knows?

Perhaps,their emotional view of Osun won’t make them see that any move away from APC will turn Ambode into an Adeoti. Only Epe can’t make him win re-election.

I see him withdrawing and endorsing Sanwo-Olu.

Confusion amid protest may tear apart the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kano State following the endorsement of former Commissioner for Works, Transport and Housing during Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s administration, Abba Kabiru Yusuf, as gubernatorial aspirant.
Kwankwaso had at the PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Kaduna at the weekend announced his son-in-law and strong political associate, Aminu Abdulsalam, as governor and deputy aspirants.

Kwankwaso’s action has terminated the hope of his political ally and former deputy governor, Prof. Hafizu Abubakar and Malam Salihu Sagir Takai, a former associate of former Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, who are equally pining to contest the governorship seat under PDP.

bender79:
Osogbo not looking convincing bro. My call is PDP.

You are biased, bitter and blind over the APC. Wake up!

babaolofin:
You cannot blame them. Most youths making comments on nairaland & other social media are Ibos. They don't understand the terrain. They only know PDP & APC as major contenders. Omisore who controlled PDP before he moved to SDP has great supporters dividing total PDP votes between himself & Adeleke. He might get the greater part of those votes leaving only Ede for Adeleke.

Thanks, bro. I agree. It is unfortunate sha.

Fools!

Did the PDP chair mention APC?Rather,he mentioned SDP.

Many youths on here are lazy and too dull to understand basic things,no wonder we are suffering.
