TravelRe: "I Won't Return To Nigeria Even For $10 Million" – Uk-based Nigerian Man(video) by Blissfulend: 10:37am On May 04
You have just made my day with this piece.
God bless you for all you do.
More power to your elbow.


Eriokanmi:
Your palaver. Nigeria is my home. I be african man, original.

The below is a summary of my story.

I schooled and came back. But before returning I had had a mindset that the west would honour me rather than me honour them one day. I came hit the sector in which I'm much more relevant and even inviting experts to help for a fee today.
Back in the days I used to hear oil spill here and there, people wailing that their lands have been destroyed, shell paying hugely on compensation, pipelines being hit at remote places which can be tackled real-time without even paying a visit to the creeks with the IIOT . Thanks to Starlink smiley

Today, we've taken over the share of the market by 30% as an indigenous firm. By the time Dangote commences crude exploration, we'd have become the topmost indigenous company in our line of business in hazardous mgt.

As Nigerian, I had had the opportunity of meeting with the American president inside the DAAR hall near the White house, the only one from black Africa where the son of any country's president has never been. There's power in the tongue. I remembered when I said the west would honour me rather than me doing so and it came to pass. Tony Blair was the 2nd notable figure met, though years after his exit as British PM.

Those who wish to stay put in a foreign land, its ok. But If you stay there, who will fix Nigeria, Chinese, Indians and others who are busy taking advantage of us, conniving with our corrupt leaders? No way!

Anytime I come here and preach good governance and leadership devoid of corruption, their gullible followers always kick. They think they're more Nigerian than I am. It's high time we changed our mindset. America was once a super corrupt nation. Read the history of America. Kidnapping reigning today in Nigeria was once a norm at a time.

Benin republic used to be a hot bed of kickbacks and corruption. Their gendams no dey gree rest once they see Nigerians in those days. Same Benin republic is now rid of corruption. Enter cotonou you'll think you're in France. Light no dey dim, no solar panels littering their buildings as we have it in Nigeria today as a result of leadership failure. Their currency that used to be worst in africa has now left the almighty naira behind. A lot of african nations are achieving steady progress without making noise.

Vote out bad leaders who have refused to leave the space, despite falling down without being touched and seeking medical treatment every 3 months overseas. How will they concentrate on fixing Nigeria?. Ask tinubu the meaning of AI, he doesn't know anything. Their policies are archaic and anti people. I wonder if sentiments will put food at our desk. Enough said
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Blissfulend: 9:54am On Apr 16, 2025
My Standard Visitor Visa has been delayed for a month, with any communication from the UKVI other than the message sent after Biometrics acknowledging the receipt of my application.

I have also not received any message from VFS.

I have an exam in the UK in a couple of weeks.
I do not know what my fate is.

Please, what can l do?

I would greatly appreciate your valuable inputs.

Thank you

Visa cancellation and Entry ban awaits her. 110% smiley
It is a visa for visiting and not to live in the UK.
Thank you so much for your valuable inputs on this post @giselle237

Please, l would like to seek your counsel here

I applied for UK Standard Visitor Visa exactly a month ago (28 days).
After Biometrics, l received an email from UKVI confirming that my application has arrived at the centre awaiting decision.
Then, a month after, no other form of communication from them.
When l track it from VFS global portal, it indicates that my application is still at the UKVI.

I have an exam in the UK in just a month time.
I do not know what my fate is, right now.

Please, what do you suggest that l do?

I would gladly welcome suggestions and advice from other people here.

Thank you.

Samunique:
Those defending him are mostly from the south east, they don't understand what we call diplomacy and politeness.

Osimehn has lost my respect and love I have for him.

He forgot how Nigerians fought for him for African player of the year.

Osimehn has not kicked a ball for Nigeria since the start of the world cup qualifiers .
This is beyond sickening!
Why always ascribe tribal colouration to issues?
Please, do well to mention that the piece above, condemning Osihmen's outburst and requesting him to apologize was also written by Someone from 'that side'(SouthEast).
SportsRe: Finidi George’s Achievements Vs Victor Osimhen Record by Blissfulend: 3:21am On Jun 16, 2024
Fineman2:
Osimhen should apologize to this legend, I don't know why people from that side are defending him

Finidi George also represented Nigeria in two FIFA World Cups, 1994 and 1998.
Why are you guys like this?
Do you have to tribalize everything?
Be reminded that the article above was written by an Igbo man too.

No matter what is gone , the government would not blink an eye. They don't care , because their children are not in that school.

Join others do free mining trading and investments in cryptocurency. Don't let Nigeria happen to you. Make some money, cool money.
There is no such thing as cryptocurrency mining.
It is a full blown scam!
No one should fall prey to these scammers.
PoliticsRe: Omojuwa Under Fire For Praising Tinubu Over What He Condemned Jonathan For by Blissfulend: 1:41pm On Sep 24, 2023
I absolutely agree with you. I for one know quite a number of Yoruba people who voted right and never supported this scam of a president called BAT.
ivandragon:
You guys need to stop this sweeping castigations of ethnic groups, in this case Yorubas, especially on this APC/BAT issue.

There are millions of Yorubas who do not support BAT or APC. But when people like you turn it to ethnic 'war', you force such persons to take sides by defending thier ethnicity.

Limit your criticism to the APC & BAT, don't drag the whole ethnic group into such matters.

TravelRe: How Come Nigerian Roads Don’t Have Lane Markings? by Blissfulend: 4:33pm On May 15, 2020
I concur that bad governance and incompetent leadership are definitely contributory here.
But with particular regard to the issue under discussion, corruption takes the cake.
I admit that we now have a shrinking revenue, hence the low budget for public utilities, but it has not always been like this.
Recall that in the 1960s and 70s,we raked in a lot of cash from the sale of petroleum, but could we boast of having word-class utilities even at the time?
One of the Heads of state in the afore-mentioned period was quoted as saying that Nigeria's problem was not dearth of money but what to spend the money on.
If we have always been broke as a nation, how do you explain the fact that we keep recovering millions of dollars stashed away in foreign banks by our leaders?
We did have the money at a time (unfortunately not anymore) to make Nigeria a cynosure, but the avarice and corruption of our leaders never allowed that dream to see the light of the day.
We had the golden chance, but sadly, we blew it!









Iquote author=kikero post=89578865]

Even without corruption, this year we have a budget of $26billion. That's not enough for guaranteeing good healthcare , talkless good roads and transportation.

Mind you I don't downplay corruption, but the explanation for why Nigeria does not work has less to do with corruption, and more to do with how we make the money, which is a function of bad leadership.[/quote]
TravelRe: How Come Nigerian Roads Don’t Have Lane Markings? by Blissfulend: 3:16pm On May 15, 2020
Your point is not altogether valid!
Corruption has been the bane of the Nigerian society.
Did we have better roads we had toll gates on our roads?
The money realized from the toll gates was all being embezzled.
kikero:
They do.

The problem is , Nigerians are not ready to pay the taxes needed to keep the lane markings well maintained.

We like to admire the foreign countries with their pristine roads...but those foreign countries do something we don't...pay taxes for the maintenance of the road.

Like in the UK, people pay something called Council tax, and other charges called 'congestion charges' which go into keeping the roads in good repair.

Nigeria?? We used to have toll gates on our highways, and they were all removed.....and now the Ministry of Works does not have the cash to pay for keeping roads well maintained.
RomanceRe: I Love Her So Much But She's Too Demanding by Blissfulend: 10:03pm On Apr 28, 2020
sexylassie2:
That same lady that did not respect him with respect another man, i am not supporting her attitude but nothing goes for nothing in a relationship.

The reality is this, if he can complain for lack of sex in a relationship, i think she can also complain for not fulfilling his obligations. It is a 2 way thing, after all i have no official mandate to give sex to a man who is not my husband.

his ability to provide during the relationship will determine if the relationship will lead into marriage we might want to deny it but it is the truth, i am not saying he should give in to all her demand but he should also know how to control his situation and show that he is the man in the relationship.

Is that to say Tinubu ruled Igbo land or defrauded Igbo in the 3rd republic or why exactly did igbo ignore their looting representative n would rather have the head of Tinubu that transformed Lagos from the shii it was b4 1999 ?

Till date Abia n Ebonyi remain in habitable shit hole every loliving thing can't wait to escape from both humans n animal igbo have refuse to have the heads of those ruling the state instead they'd rather have the head of the man that transformed Lagos the place where they run into for succor after escaping from Igboland, why ?!

But the same people did not find. Anything distasteful about the POCKET OF ORJI KALU n Theodore Orji ba ?
The problem with folks like you is that they do not travel. You just lead cloistered life and be peddling presumptions.

these Biafra people will just b talking crap n playing victim as if they didn't kill Nigerian soldiers too, y fight an unnecessary war just to feed your ego? u are fighting Nigeria n u still expect them to b supplying food to u, does that make sense to these retards?
You are either glaringly and pitifully
ignorant or deliberately distorting facts to suit your narrative. Get it straight, the central government did not supply Biafrans food and nobody did expect them to. The point here is that they barricaded/barred the import of food into Biafra by foreign countries and relief organisations leading to the death of millions of innocent children. That is grossly wicked!

HealthRe: HELP !!! NYSC Has Destroyed My Life. by Blissfulend: 10:16pm On May 23, 2019
ityP:
This is what happens when clinicians look down on Medical Laboratory scientists... You are supposed to conduct a lab test to provide definitive diagnosis of an illness... Provisional diagnosis has killed many, but doctor's won't hear... See eh, if u go to any hospital and after telling the clinician how u feel, and he quickly prescribes drugs for u, please run... If he doesn't conduct test for u, u might end up in a big mess like this... So sorry bro for what ur going through ... Go to a good hospital and insist that tests be ran... That combination sef the doc gave u is making me puke... Some clinicians will die miserable deaths for how callously they treat patients
You apparently know next to nothing about medical practice.
In acute medical conditions empirical treatment is instituted(which is subject to review in the light of investigation findings) following clinical history and thorough physical examination. The clinical features the op presented with are in keeping with gastroenteritis and UTI and the doctor accordingly placed him on ciprofloxacin which is a wide spectrum antibiotic and metronidazole, an antiprotozoal agent.
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone which is effective for UTI. Ciprofloxacin and metronidazole are an ideal combination for gastroenteritis.
It important to note that the two drugs above have a wide safety margin and could not account for what op is experiencing.
It has rightly been pointed out that his symptoms are due to somatization and as such he will benefit from psychiatric review and management.
From the above explanation it is patently clear that it is your crass ignorance that is making you puke.

What is the problem with most of the Igbo's? Must the Yoruba do your wisheshuh Azikiwe and his party form alliance with the north to defeat the southwest candidate in their land (Lagos).the Igbo's and northern army plotted coup without any of the Yoruba officers involvement yet your army officers killed our yoruba political leaders,heaven did not fall...Igbo's has never supported a truly yoruba candidate from awolowo to Abiola to olu false yet we are stiil accommodating Igbo's in all the southwest state...leave tinubu alone .none of your leaders has imparted positively to your region like tinubu has done to the southwest.
You surely have not heard about Major Ademoyega.
