How could Buratai and other service chiefs misappropriate funds intended for arms purchases when the National Security Advisor (NSA) and the Minister of Defense are constitutionally responsible for buying weapons for the Nigerian military? The NSA and Minister of Defense should be responsible for managing such funds.

Everything happened under Buhari and Buhari still carry ambassador give Buratai

Strange coincidence but seems plausible seeing as no coach removes two of his best players in a crucial match
Overconfidence can make u do that. U can take off top attacking players with the hope of defending a slim 1-0 win lead

Lambaaaaaaaaa🤣🤣🤣
These people are just wicked thieves trying to justify rubbish . The office of NSA always gets budgetary allocations which nobody asks them of how they spend o.

That was how Dasuki Sambo was able to steal billion of dollars as NSA ( according to APC ) during Jonathan/PDP era.

They have not been able to recoup most of the monies allegedly stolen by Dasuki because that particular case was fumbled by EFCC and today Dasuki is a free man.

Even Monguno the NSA under Buhari alleged that dem Buratai and other service chiefs still stole money that were allocated for arms purchase under Buhari.

Why should anybody now agree with any yeye cyber security levy that will still be stolen by either the NSA , civil servants or security agencies ?

These people must think Nigerians are fools sha .

Yesterday's match was more like checking the answer at the back of New General Mathematics textbook and working ur way back to the answer . 🤦 Like it was written already that Madrid will win, but the match officials had to work things back to make sure that happens .

The officiating messed up the match even tho I wanted Madrid to win from inception.

The linesman and ref could've allowed play continue for that Bayern goal. Madrid could still have won in extra time considering the fooolish subs Tuchel already made sef.

The officiating just ruined the match for everybody except for Madrid fans/Ancelloti Stans

The present day tackles is nothing like the one in this short video bro. Even the much brutal South American football does not have the near death tackles in their football anymore. This is brutal and i doubt anything in the last 30yrs can be worse than this.
afrodoc2:
You can’t compare the frequency and severity of those hospital tackles now to back then. Now there are rough tackles here and there, but previously it was a non-stop thing throughout a match.

It was in the early to mid-90s that they started making changes to open up football as it had become quite destructive and negative. Keepers could no longer pick up back passes and tackles from behind were outlawed. I think Van Basten’s premature retirement was a turning point.

Also it was a dislocated shoulder that made Salah abandon his team in a Champions League final, the same injury that Franz Beckenbauer played nearly an hour with a World Cup semi-final.

Footballers were not only rougher back then but they were tougher. Not only football but across all sports. Not only in sports actually.
I understand that back then things were tensed and it's all about who can out muscle each other without the ref sending the offensive players out....but my point is that there will always be bad men in the game

Players like Ramos and Pepe got away with a lot of blood on their hands despite playing in the 2000's when we already have rules protecting the players.

We all saw Portugal vs Holland where tackles were flying left and right. I watched that match with my mum and she blurted in Yoruba " Awon eleyi ma para won tan o" ( These ones will unalive each other o) grin

Malta no pure

Anything Mediterranean especially Italy, Greece and Malta, avoid

I have been to Malta and dem no get money like that. Everyday thousands of tall black guys (most likely Senegalese, Bissau etc) will line up the streets, obviously jobless and waiting for work, and Maltese builders will come and scoop a few of them for work, and will obviously pay them less than minimum wage. If you see the way they slave under hot sun ehn, the sun in Malta is scorching and can be hotter than Naija

Any European country where you see that they ignore illegal immigrants (without providing housing for them) just know they don't have economic prospect for you. They then allow
the immigrants to work illegally for pittance and turn a blind eye since they can't provide housing for them. Italy, Greece and Malta are chief amongst these
I just always have a funny feeling about that malta , in fact my mind always see it as an Asian country and not an European country .

The problem with this japa movement is that u fit see country with nice immigration settings , but they won't allow u bring spouse in. Some will allow u bring spouse but the money u will need will be a major drawback .

UK market over worth am. The job market for professionals is extremely robust. But you must be polished in UK. Communication is very important to them. If you see a Nigerian struggling here, it's usually cos they can't speak clearly or have confidence issues with communication

But if I'm trying to Japa now, I would prefer Ireland. Ireland has more finance and IT jobs than people to fill them. Irish companies are always coming to UK to steal staff.
U are not wrong about Ireland being a better japa destination compared to UK. I was at a wedding of a family friend last month.

Both bride and groom came back from Ireland to wed. Na better high society wedding they throw based on how things soft for them over there.

The only down side to Ireland japa is that they don't allow u to japa with ur spouse through education route unlike UK that allows a student bring in his or her spouse on the same visa ( until recently when UK lock that door )

The groom na our own, he japa late 2022 and by 2024 he don really gather enough to come throw nice wedding with little contribution from his parents.

We have to start counting from when each manager joined and the condition of the club when they joined.

Pep is the best but then few have the same opportunities he had. He has always joined the team most likely to win trophies. His next stop may be PSG.

I'll like to see him coach a team like Shalke or Torino, or West Ham. Or alternatively this Man United team.
grin

The same reason u can't see Messi or Ronaldo playing for Eibar or West Brom is why u will never see Guardiola coach those mid clubs u mentioned .

U don't win Sextuple as a coach only to foolishly join Torino or Schalke because u want to prove a pointless point.

Express entry doesn't take years oo.
If you have enough points, you can move ASAP.

You need alot of work experience, post graduate degrees like MSC will help alot.
Also being 30 or younger.

Then if you can get PNP to gain 600 points, it will be an automatic winner.
Another thing is your career has to be one that is desirable. Someone with HR experience will find it hard, but someone who has experience in Tech which is a high demand job
What is PNP ?

One thing that discourages me about all these immigration journey is how people already knowledgeable in the processes always abbreviate words/form acronyms u have to start racking ur brain for the full meaning 🤦

It's very good for study route. You get 2yrs post study visa after your schooling and you can be eligible for PR in 5yrs including the 2 schooling years.

Their school fees are also cheap compared to others. I've seen school fees of 2500 Euros, 1750 Euros, the highest I've seen is 7k Euros for international student. There's even a school that accept installment payment (10 times/10 months).

You can also stay and visa anywhere in the EU area without registration for 90 days. (I stand to be corrected though).
What about language barrier ? Will one not have to learn Portuguese to study and work in Portugal ?

Or is English the language of instruction there ?

Most European countries bar UK offers cheaper schooling and you can move with dependents.
What do think about Malta?

Is it a place worth it? Like if my spouse wants to school and I go as dependant; are there jobs there?

My fear is that I don't want to resign a decent paying job here, going with my spouse as dependent only to resort to jamajama job over there with no prospect of getting a better job. That's my fear with those European countries

A friend was trying the Canada express route around 2016 and the information I can gather from him is that

Its calculated on a Point system
Age matters - the younger the better and more points you get, your points reduce with age. (Obviously they are lookin for younger people to contribute to the economy not those too old)

The higher the education the better and more points for Phd than with Masters and with Bachelors

Canada has 2 Official languages, if you have excellent abilities in both languages it boost your points

So the ideal person will be a 27yr old perfectly bilingual person like Popi or hensb3n with a MSc or Phd

The main test for English is IELTS and the higher you score the better for your points, Its graded from like 1-9. You need to aim for 8 to 9 to get the highest points

They publish a cutoff score when the draws are made. Once your calculated score meet the cutoff you get an Invitation to submit your application
Use this link below to calculate your score
https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

This link below will show you history of draws made till date to know where the last cutoff was and what you can do to get above the cutoff

https://www.canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html

E.g last cutoff for General was 529 for the draw made on April 23. If your CRS score is showing less than 500, You need to look for ways to boost it cos it will take a miracle to get them to drop it that low

They have a number they want to send invitation to, they determine a cutoff point that will make them get that exact number
Lemme bookmark this. I will take my time to read it properly

You can go through the link.

I recommend you go to their website, it's well detailed on what you need for each point and at each stage.

You can use this link to calculate your score:

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

The last express entry draw was done in March 25 and the minimum CRS score was 524.

When you calculate your CRS, using the link I sent above, it will show whether you are eligible to apply or not. If you have M.Sc and fluent in French, it will boost your CRS score.
Thanks, I'm trying to calculate the points now. What are the ideal IELTS scores acceptable to them?

Getting job from Nigeria that helps with relocation is very rare. The federal express entry is still the best path, you just need to find a way to stack up your points.

You can try regional express entry also but most of them requires having a federal express entry profile also.
It's the long time the express entry always takes that just tires me out. I see people saying it took them years on the queue noni.

Can share with me a link to a thread I can read on how to stack up points and all?
