AfeezShomorin:
Why is it that white people find it difficult to sit down in one place?

because life in the western world can be boring (assuming you have a great source of income from one job) so you need to seek out ways to engage in activities that would occupy your time. Everything is on auto- constant electricity, smart household appliances to do chores, even bills are auto-debited and they start to wonder what else to do. They are also mindful of personal boundaries in their relationships so that affect social relations.
That's why they keep dogs, cats, do volunteering etc just to keep busy. A lot also enjoy outdoor life because they were brought up doing outdoor activities eg living on a farm and taking care of many acres of farmlands and farm animals. Sitting in one place will kill them.

APOPTOSIS:
The UK should stop this rubbish.
What's a 14 year old child doing on an Adult site after faking her age too to gain access.
What kind of rubbish is that?
All we fools or what?
The world should frown at this now.
It's getting our of hand.
High time we started calling out the UK authorities over this rubbish.
A site has age bracket, please stick to it
The minor should be arrested for being there in the first place.

It's not rubbish and It's not only peculiar to the UK. Most western countries work to protect kids from potential predators like this man. The law allows the police to use any means to achieve that including disguising on dating sites. Avoid anything to do with minors and if the nature of your job requires interactions with minors (like in the case of teachers) you have to be very professional in all you do.

APOPTOSIS:
Exactly.
It's high time the Nigerian Embassy speaks up.
Nothing is wrong heading to an adult dating site as an adult.
What's a minor looking for there.
Minors who break such rules should be arrested too. I hate injustice

these are Sting opérations by police officers and It's totally legal in most Western countries. Its aim is to protect children from potential prédators like this man.

Don’t mind them those who refuse decent home training na streets go train am. Stupid fool has now set whole family on a course of destruction. I hope the woman is able to stay with the children.

That's my prayer as well. I hope the woman has COS or other form of papiers to allow her stay in the UK with her kids.

Hmmm the most beautiful First Lady Nigeria had back then, and also the most eloquent and intelligent, I haven’t found her type again, her death pained Obasanjo to the marrow

Yes. Obasanjo would have given anything to keep Stella alive

TempleHouse:
Pasuma Alabi should acknowledge him as Father now before the burial !!

was he his father? Just asking

Op wasn't well prepared. He should have bought fuel the day before knowing he needed to go to the office the following day.

TRUTHaDDICTED:
For me it's not even about the slap but his utterance that he can make the driver disappear and nothing will happen. He should be recalled immediately because his arrogance doesn't allow him to know who he is or why he's there in the first place.

He thought he was elected to Lord over those that elected him instead of representing them.

you're right. It was that statement that got my attention. While it could be argued that the slap (assault) was due to provocation, that uttterance underlies a lot of things wrong with our society. How can you brag openly that you can make someone disappear. Really?

spinna:
Life sentence loading..Lagos don't play with rape of minors

True. Lagos doesnt joke with such crime especially when it involves à minor. I love Lagos state government for that.

Those gorillas must have been brought in from Nigeria. They didnt want them to lose that identity hence the names.

CodeTemplar:
Kpefuele nko? Lol.

that one dey America since

Remmedy:
Is this a political post ?
See credentials for pastoral post
Even poor man no fit pastor big church

for where? How can a poor man pastor à big church? Wetin hin wan preach? Even the Bible says the poor is hated and despised by his own brethen.

May we be rich in all aspects of life.

arantess:
the wife is begging that he will soon retire?!!!

ahhhh may he never get that retirement money oo.

the woman should involve FIDA lawyers

this happened in Lagos. The guy is toast. Lagos takes hard stance against sexual violence involving minors.

boxypane:
Do they even care? It's obvious that the head too is a junkieeeee, coz this must have passed through his desk.

Good observation. I thought of this at first but considered that he could be busy and must have signed it hurriedly.

Most exécutives dépend heavily on their secretaries and trust them to do a good job. It's the reason the position should be based entirely on merit.

Letter is ridden with errors. LASTMA should employ secretaries that know English grammar.

Stop the man-know-man recruitment practice for positions like this as it bears on the image of the organization.

Efuaye:
I thought South Africa, especially the coloured should win the medal but the Sharia-practising nations beat them to it.

Yes. The coloureds are heavy smokers. The air quality is bad in areas where the coloureds are. You will see heavily pregnant young girls smoking in front of antenatal clinic very early in the morning.

TheGreatIYANU:
They were impatient with Policemen doing their jobs?!

It's the NPF I blame for belittling themselves with shenanigans of a spoilt few.

If Cops in the States pull you up and you are 'impatient' for them to do their job, then decide to run through them or speed away, you would wish you never left your house that day.

Nonsense yahoo yoot

Very true. When a police officer tells you to stop while driving, you must stop. This applies not just in Nigeria but anywhere in the world. In fact, in Canada, you have to remain in your car after being pulled over and wait for the police officer to come to you. That could take up to 20 mins. You don't come out from your car unless he asks you to. Usually, the officer won't come down from his patrol vehicle until he has backup.

Kelechi009:
Those cases are far different, those ones already had kids in those countries. She is referring to 40+ newly coming to struggle from the beginning.

Any 40+ that travels abroad at that age is setting themselves up for failure.

not true in all cases. My husband and I relocated in our 40s and we like it here.

Each person's situation is different. There's no general rule for whether or not to immigrate. Everyone should do what works for them.

Just don't travel illegally. If you have PR visa or study visa, take the opportunity.

So sad. Delivering ransom was tough and risky enough then police arrived from nowhere and wanted them to stop. They feared being kidnapped too since some kidnappers even wear police/army uniforms and ran for their lives. They didn't inform the police or the villagers of their mission because in such precarious circumstances, you don't know whom to trust. This is nothing short of being between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The police must be made to pay good compensation to the family. I know the NBA will ensure justice is done.

Peterobi90:
Neither is the poorest man a salary earner..

I have over 5 failed businesses in the bag, on the 6th one currently, its best taking business risk with an alternative source of stable income no matter how small.

This is true. Always have a stable source of income in addition to business.

When the interviewer asked "you are from what state?" After I told him, he then said "oh, but you look Igbo. We will get back to you". That question was completely off-topic and that was the end of the interview. AMCON 2010.

This is not to discredit any tribe or ethnicity. Tribalism and nepotism pervade our institutions and It's not peculiar to any tribe.

JuanDeDios:
I see. But I wonder what they have against palm oil. It's not like you can use it to make bomb.

If it spills, then other people's luggage may be affected. How would you feel having oil on your clothes and documents when you are not even carrying oil?

JuanDeDios:
A whole palm oil? Why?

The scanner will pick it no matter how you hide it and they won't just let it pass through. It could cause delays for the traveller as well. When others are boarding, you will be there rummaging through your luggage to get the oil out. It's not worth it. African stores in Canada generally sell good oil.

You need to drop that palm oil. Customs won't let it pass.

Story land, story land. Life was simple then. No TV until 4pm. Kids went out to play and fly kites with friends and neighbours and then returned at 4pm for TV.

RIP Baba Solanke.

RETURNOFENDSARS:
I'm a lawyer, called in 2016. I'm married with a kid and I'm in my early 30s. My wife is not working, so I have been the one shouldering the responsibility, despite that, God has given me my own house. Three bedrooms flat in front and three bedrooms flat at the back, all with full pop, water heater, full tiles, in fact all the modern facilities.
In all honesty I made between 600k-1.5m per month.

Just of recent, the zeal to Japa to Canada has been on my mind through school route. I currently have like 7m in my account and I know I could raise it till 15m before the end of the year. The cost of schooling keep giving me issue. How will someone travel abroad and spend over 15m when I could used the money to buy hostel from people who desperately needs money or invest in real estate.

Another concern of mine is that the future of legal profession is reducing because of the amount clients are paying particularly in the area of agreement and other things.

Definitely, I won't be selling the house if I decide to relocate, the rent from the two flats will go to my mom and the least could only be 500k per year. I won't have issues sending money at home.

Please, I really need advice from lawyers that are there, how do you cope migrating. Is it advisable I leave, if yes, what are the first things I might encounter, if am relocating it will be with my family. I just don't want to regret relocating. The exchange rate is just too much

It's not going to be easy or rosy. You need a lot of will-power to get back to the same position you currently are in Naija and progress from there.

Let's start with the major issues. Most of Canada is cold, brutally cold for some months of the year. You will need to deal with that with good jackets, boots and possibly, a car.

Secondly, to practice here, you need to complete the NCA requirements (usually 6 courses) and find an articling position. A few provinces like Ontario offer exemption from articling but articling has its advantages. Finding a paid articling position can be tough for foreign-trained lawyers but not impossible.

You may want to apply to law adjacent positions after studies and then complete the NCA requirements and articling.

There are Nigerian lawyers with successful law careers in Canada and you could be one too, with some détermination.
NB- Since you are coming as a student, I will advise you come with lots of money.

viodemus:
Solid actor. From 3rd eye days. I small but I dey watch that thing with my older siblings and uncles.

glad there's someone here who remembers third eye. Olu Jacobs and that little girl were a delight to watch. I was small then but I enjoyed every bit of the series.

She went on vacation with the Joshua's family to Dubai and yet no single picture of her with any of other TB Joshua's children
Wonders shall never end

TB Joshua's family was hardly in the media. Even if there were pictures, I doubt they would be circulated.

Omo how person dey spend him whole life throttling around the world


You do pass Ajala the traveller

Op is living the dream. Not a lot of people get that privilege in their lifetime.

RIP. Baba olofa ina was a thorough-bred yoruba. He spoke yoruba very fluently using proverbs, idioms and non-verbal gestures reflective of the ways of the yoruba people of old.

porka:
There is no underlying anything. That's the way blacks are wired.

That is the most convenient way to avoid life's responsibility.

Give him one million chances in life is will end up the same way.

Did you not read him saying that the RCCG people too got fed up?

He started a programme in Unilag in the 1980s, he abandoned it for a greener pasture (a security guard).

Many Africans or blacks do not live for any meaningful purpose in life.

They just live to 'enjoy' life without even knowing what enjoyment mean.

Oh, my friends are traveling abroad, let me leave my work and travel too.

Ahhhh, my friend's misfortune is not my portion...

Most blacks around the world hardly take a thought of anything before they commit their lives and resources into it.

Black people are not guided by sense and thorough analysis but impulse and emotions.

We never take a stock of what would happen if we took this or that decision. What can possibly go wrong?
What would I do if my permutations fall off the mark? How quickly can I make those adjustments? What resources do I have?
What is the exit strategy? What are the social networks to help me cushion the impact? How long could this adventure take?
What is even the essence of it?

It happens till this day.

Just imagine people not bothering about handing 4 years of their entire lives to useless politicians and making projections for another 4 years to be similarly wasted.

For blacks, time, purpose, legacy, responsibility and critical thinking are not high stakes.

A typical black person's life revolves around food, partying, human and object worship, debauchery, vain glory, wild hysteria and shifting responsibility to some gods.

The man was going to Japan for business (if true) but he couldn't care what might happen during business down time.

He was just satisfied with being the 'only successful' black man in the white dominated county.

Just one Italian or Indian would achieve the same feat and the whole place will be filled with Italians or Indians so that they have a social security system and buffer against hard time.

Not Africans. Not blacks. The black man doesn't understand such concept.

All the time he was sponsoring his nephew through school, his own child was going through hard times.

He doesn't even know where the other children are in America.

The bolded is very true.
