Saynoomore: A majority, just like you, are getting the point entirely wrong! The desperation to leave the country, does not only stem from the desire for greener pastures or wealth, but for social security, feeling of safety, access to basic amenities, social welfare, quality healthcare etc. These basic amenities are increasingly getting out of the reach of not just ordinary Nigerians, but also out of the reach of even wealthy Nigerians as evidenced by the rich members of the society travelling out of the country for medical reasons! For others, the political instability and frequent terrorism from UGM, kidnappings, banditry, herdsmen, etc, raise fears for the future of the country and they want to get their children out of this hell-hole as fast as they possibly can.
So, it's not just for the money and good jobs! It's for the feeling of security, safety, and the assurance that they are in a society that works - one where they can find justice should they decide to seek justice for any reason! Overall, peace and security remains on priority list of most japa enthusiasts, before wealth and monetary gains. Only war torn countries are facing the kinds of challenges many Nigerians are currently battling with. Such countries should be avoided at all costs.
The worst insecurity is poverty and joblessness rolled into one ,because hunger, sickness, frustration, vexation loneliness, despair, depression, delusion and possibly of death will now become your constant companion. The guy is only helping you, but if don't the help ,you can go find out yourself. Then you'll find Nigeria out to be heaven.

Ruben225571: 1. UAE visa is cheap but the country is expensive and with so much Competition .
2. There is so much bad Image for Nigerian in UAE so you must be willing to do more of good conduct to enable you stand out.
3. UAE is not a country you come to with $100 BTA, the moment you drop from the airplane to the moment you receive your first salary is a whole lot of spending, so be prepared
4. 99% of the Jobs your agent promised you from Nigeria is not true, he may also be on overstay and doesn't care if you join him/her.
5. Free accomodation is scarce in UAE, dont get angry when your friend or relative refuses to accommodate you, if you Intend to share with them, always agree properly, don't assume.
6. Your prospective employer has a different culture from you, always calm down to observe.
7. UAE has labour laws, get someone who knows to explain to you, don't act on information you gather online.
8. If you are a skilled worker, eg mechanic, mason, electrician, tiler etc, it's easier for you to get a job than he who comes with a master's degree in philosophy or business admin etc.
9. Always be sure you want a job before you take it , don't sign a job contract and abandon it mid-way, it may be the beginning of your predicament.
10. For those who get promises of visa and ticket to pay back when you get to UAE, there is a 99% chance that you are been exported for prostitution, in UAE prostitution is a CRIME and doesn't give you as much money as it does in Europe , so think twice when you get such offers.
11. If your main business is yahoo, no need to come except you have already made it big in Nigeria and you need a good environment where you can invest your money and have a good life.
12. Don't pay anyone hundreds of thousands of Naira to get a UAE visa with a promise of big job, if you have millions and must come to Dubai, get a one month visa and do a residence permit on arrival if you don't get a desired job.
13. Those who have a personal residence permit tend to get higher paying jobs than those who come with tourist visas and are on company residence permit.
14. You cannot rob a bank, do cultism etc and go free in UAE, there are cameras everywhere and the boarders are tight.
15. Once your visa expires, you loose all your legality and begin to pay overstay fines, avoid it if you can.
16. Shouting, fighting, protesting, illegal gathering, unauthorised photography, cultism are all prohibited in UAE, it will get you into trouble.
17. Not all businesses in UAE are doing well, some Pakistanis, Indians, Filipinos, Arabs etc you call Arbab/ sponsors are also struggling, they set up a company and employ you, they can mess up your stay if they can't proceed with your residence permit.
18. When a company employs you, size them up, evaluate their operations and check well if they are capable of paying salaries and issuing a residence permit, let me explain further; a new coffee shop in Umm Al Quain that employs 6 of you at same time and does not have enough customers may disappoint you, use your brain to avoid crying at last.
19. Starting a business for Nigerians is not as difficult as you hear, that's if you have the money, seek information.
20. UAE is not easy, guys work hard here, really hard.
Hashabiah: I don't know why newspapers and bloggers keep airing such rubbish daily
Because Ezeife said so and it's foolish for anybody to start to agitate for his tribesman to be president in that brazen, primitive and selfish manner. It hasn't gone that bad to give the presidency to any region just because they ask for it, people work for political offices, nobody agitates or begs for it. Ibo president is neither priority or concern of Nigeria, because Nigeria does desire an Ibo president by all means. It's the Southeast that craves , raves and weeps for an Ibo president by all means, even to kneel and prostrate for every other Nigerian one by one. Then for what? Shameless people.
Explorers: Massie's photo, which accrued 31.4K likes, 4,826 retweets and 17.7K quote tweets within five hours of being posted, was criticized as being particularly tone deaf in the wake of yet another deadly high-profile school shooting, where four students were killed and seven people were injured, including a teacher.
Can't see he's mocking Americans' freedom to freely carry firearms ?
walkbrazil4k: You can import African spiritual things and sell them in Brazil because Brazilians believe in the same African religion that we believe in so, you can import your Ifa stuff, kola nuts, and lots of other things.
Brazil is the second-largest Christian country in the world but we have a huge number of black people in Brazil and especially in Bahia a state in Brazil and it was the first capital of Brazil and most of the slaves that came from Africa landed in that state and the African slaves brought their food, cultures, and traditions with them and this is why you find a large number of spiritual believers in Brazil. Yoruba is an official language in Salvador, brazil.
We have the Ifa worshipers, Yemoja worshipers, and many other traditional religion's we have in African you can find them right here in Brazil and everyone is free to worship their god so don't be surprised to see a shop where spiritual things are sold or see someone giving you a flyer on the road about reading your palm, or seeing a ritual[EBO] on the road like we see in Africa(but not the Nigerian style EBO they mostly use fruits ) , it is all normal in Brazil and this is why I love brazil.
The stigma on students that got their BSc from universities in Benin republic is greatly overwhelming and already taken a distorted perception in the mind of average Nigerians.. A large percentage of Nigerians believe this cert are bought or aren't credible enough..
I schooled and graduated from IRGIB AFRICA UNIVERSITY, COTONOU.. One of the few prestigious universities worth thier salt, but I feel the wrongs and corrupt disposition that few universities here have done with reckless abandon might be a big constraint to me...
I'm currently undergoing my NYSC in Imo state and would love to proceed for my postgraduate studies in Unilag, UNN or UNIPORT. But I want to know how these universities welcome this certs.
Do I have an edge or would I be seen differently? would I be granted admission? pls I need your advice!
Standard of education in Benin is very low. All they emphasize, and overtly at that, is the mastery of the French language. What Edge? You wll be lucky if any university considers you, except maybe the private universities.
Aufbauh: Follow who know road. Orji Uzor Kalu is a Nationalist and a detribalized Nigerian so it's commonsensical that the good of the land will reach first before other ethnic jingoist.
christistruth01: Listing Nathaniel Solomon as Killed at Lekki Toll Gate while he is alive and well and granting Interviews to Journalists is also UNLAWFULL and evidence that
THERE WAS NO LEKKI MASSACRE !!!!!!!
GET OVER IT !!!!!!!
Are you deaf ? Will you not go to court to establish that?
Hugged: Before the advent of the Police Act 2020, the Nigerian Police force was regulated by the Police Act Cap P19, Laws of the Federation, 2004, and certain actions of the police were not put in check. With the unveiling of this Act came new provisions that were included to make the Police force a more accountable, fair, and efficient body. Some of them include: (Shared By 123.com.ng Media)
1. The Nigerian Police force cannot arrest in place of a suspect:
Before the emergence of this new Act, the police had the power to arrest the family or friends of a suspect, if they couldn’t arrest that suspect. Section 36 of the Police Act 2020 repealed the earlier provisions and disallows the arrest of another person in place of a suspect.
2. The Nigerian Police cannot force a suspect to make a statement:
According to the new Police Act, a suspect may decide whether or not to make a statement while he is in police custody. It further states that such a statement must be made in the presence of a lawyer, a member of the legal aid council, or any other person of the suspect’s choice. If the suspect can’t speak or write English, he must be provided with an interpreter that will confirm his statement.
3. The police must give notice of delayed detention:
Section 64 of the Police Act 2020 provides that a suspect arrested for an offence should be granted bail within 24 hours. If he’s not released, an application must be sent to a court of competent jurisdiction.
4. The Police must notify a suspect’s family of his arrest:
Unlike before that when a suspect was arrested, he was denied communication with his family members. It is now a requirement that the next of kin of a suspect or his relative be properly informed, and this should be done without collecting money from them.
5. Police cannot arrest for a civil wrong:
When a person owes money or breaches a contract that existed before, the police cannot arrest such a person as this is an abuse of power. Their power to arrest is limited to criminal offences alone. They cannot recover private debts or meddle in affairs of a civil nature.
It's not any #17billion loot. It's APC's loot. They want to loot him as they looted some governors from PDP. They want him in APC to help them win the Southeast come 2023. They've discovered that Andy Uba is a weightless politician among the Ibos. Obi, join them, and when they fall asleep, japa fast.
FreeStuffsNG: Do you still remember there's this war between Aguleri and Umuleri, both in the same state , about same time there was Ife Modakeke war and the Tiv-Jukun war. With the level of destruction witnessed those times, no one would have imagined these age long adversaries could resolve their differences some day. So what changed? They had sincere leaders and followers committed to peace. No matter what we do, there will always be one issue or the other. Delta State has gone through 4 divisions from Western region to Midwest to Bendel now to Delta, Delta State is yet to even meet up with Edo let alone Lagos or become an Eldorado sir. Division is overrated and it's no silver bullet. Nigeria will never divide and I guarantee you that the union won't be at the whims and caprices of unstable folks or succumb to treasonable violent take over of power. Our political elite, armed and security forces are each so intricately integrated that they are a tribe on their own.
You speak like an elder. All these toddlers know nothing.
What is wrong with the Iboman's brain, this is not an issue you bring to the public domain.. A matter that's already in court. How would Buhari now look to all Nigerians and the rest of the world? Things like this are done at every level of administration and governance all over the world ,never mentioned until when it has become irrelevant,when it cannot be of interest to anybody again. Kanu's extrajudicial release may now not solely depend on Buhari alone , but also on forces of opposition in government and in Iboland. How do you want Buhari himself to feel? These are top secrets that must, and are supposed to , be kept away from the public.
Go for the Honda Civic because it surpasses the corolla in many aspects.
Just that its resale value is not like that of the corolla. Correct !
This is the mistake most Nigerians make.
All Hondas don't have the leg pull issue, and Honda civic doesn't pull legs. But, say, Honda accords from 2003 to 2008 had the issue that often happens due to poor maintenance of Nigerians plus our bad roads.
They fixed the issue in higher models of Honda accords.
Baawaa: Tinubu want to reap what he had sown,if you know you know. Osinbajo is not contesting against Tinubu,
CAN NOT CONTEST against him. He is a Yoruba man, he knows the implications only too well. If you know and understand the story of Ladoke Akintola 's betrayal of Awo,you'll understand. Besides, he has no chance. It's children of hate and envy who have no credible candidate to promote from their tribe who are carrying out the mischief.
