that is a topic for another day. I answered the question of what the OP said and made after he made comparisons between cubana and otedola. Or should we also say Obi cubana is a drug pusher?
Fair enough

Men dont be ignorant in making statements. What Femi Otedola has done for the society, Obi Cubana has not done 1/4 of it. there is a difference between imparting and being mute about it and being a social media celebrity. Even if Femi Otedola is wicked and Evil, the companies he runs are not necessarily obligated by law but encouraged to perform some CSR to their immediate society. Its one of the principles of doing business. Where were you when he gave christian chukwu $50k to go and do surgery for his illness. Femi Otedola recently joined social media due to the pressure from his kids I would assume, he does not need to post about his life, he is not a celebrity but a thorough bred business man.
Can you balance that with what he has taken illegally through subsidy evasions and how many lives that would have help/ saved if funds were put to good use

Is Otedola not a subsidy scammer? How is he a big name?

We like to play down economic sabotage. Everyone Nigerian should be angry at people like Otedola, Rochas, Orji Kalu, Ibori, Oduaghan, Saraki, Okowa, Tinubu, Ahmed Idris, Atiku etc. But we hail them. And we wonder why we're swimming in poverty.


Most of us will be in church praying against poverty. Just disturbing God. While your fellow country man has stolen #80Billion, you know his name and address but you won't take any action to retrieve it but you want God to send you dollars and pounds from Heaven.

It's simple you're poor because some of your country men has stolen your commonwealth. And I think it's high time we elevate this conversation. Any one that steals money for health care, Roads, Subsidy, Pension, Refinery, security is a mass murderer and should be treated as one.
Spot on.

It’s time we pushed for capital punishment for state level fraud.

It’s actually mass generational murder

1. Yes, no
2. No
3. None of these require physical presence. Health examinations can be done in any country. You will only need to go to approved hospital.
No, medicals is only done after you apply for visa.
FYI, 190 is rarely given these days, not even for chemical engineering. 491 visa has been consistent for applicants outside Australia.

Hopefully this may change in the new financial year.
Thanks!

Are your familiar with the Vetassess platform.

Been stuck on the work experience page (section to state job duties) with errors popping up every time I submit the page.

Hi House,

Started reading this thread from page 1......no be beans. Weldone to all the pillars that have kept this thread going.

I need some "surgical" advise for the peculiar position i currently find myself. I have summarized a quick run down of my numbers below;

age: 34
IELTS: Band 9
Experience: 8 years continuous production management in one firm (different roles though, but scripted my reference letter well )
Education: Chemical engineering degree ( 10 years ago) & MBA in Operations & Project Management ( 3 years ago)
Partner IELTS: Band 6
Total points: 80
Target Visa: 190

Truth is i was close to 90 a few years back, but Canada no gree person see road.

Anyway, this is my challenge.

I just accepted an offer for a similar job in Singapore. Based on all preparations, i should be living the country in 2 weeks time.

Question 1: Is it possible/advisable to run Australian PR as a Nigerian living outside Nigeria. Will there be an issue or conflict from the change in address, etc

Question 2: Will there be any issue in processing this PR while i and my spouse live in different countries

Question 3: i have ran through every step of the process to see which one would require my physical presence in Nigeria at any point. The only things i could zoom in on were
a) Vetassess skills assessment (Transcript arrangement)
b) Police certificate,
c)skilled employment evidence (employment reference letter, etc)
d)Partner documents ( joint bank statement, etc)
e) Health Exams

i'm i missing anything? I am particularly worried about the Health exams. Any possibility of triggering this before EOI application(i.e before i travel ) for 190 visa or will it be required after nomination? Also is it possible for the medical test to be done in different locations (i.e assuming i have not relocated the rest of my family by then)

Apologies once again for the barrage of questions, but looking at my short timelines, i must get these physical requirement right.
Travel › Travel Advice For Business Trip To Indonesia by brandmix(op): 1:00pm On May 20, 2022
Hi house,

I am due to travel to Indonesia within the next few weeks on a company sponsored KITAS work permit & e-visa. Plan to be there for a few months.

It’s my first time traveling to the eastern hemisphere, and I have heard mixed comments and reactions.

Would appreciate objective feedback/advice on how & what to expect during the trip from immigration clearance here to clearance over there. It’s also going to be the longest trip I have taken yet, so jet lag advice would also be nice.

P.S: I know our Nigerian passport is a magnet for trouble (so no need to repeat its limitations or negativity), rather info on what to avoid would be appreciated .

what you describe doesn't sound bad..its as if you are saying he doesn't have right to be angry or upset..

u even said he hardly gets angry, like maybe three times a year... u sound like u don't love or respect him anymore becos he's too nice....

yes....a man that gets angry only 3 times a year is obviously very quiet and too nice ....and from my experience you women don't like nice guys because nice guys don't take you on a roller coaster type of marriage


... I think you are just bored...u married too early, so midlife crisis hit you too early as well...whats worse you married a guy that's not keeping you on the edge of your seat...

U want some excitement in your life...
The mistake you are making is that instead of rekindling that excitement with your man, you are already looking outside...

this is witchcraft..


it will not end well......
Spot on.

She married too early, she is also religious and and seem to normalize her desire to experiment and find something exciting

Nice one op
I owe you a parcel of weed

But to me ...what will be will always be...wether permissive, authoritative...or balanced parenting
Some individuals got no parenting but still turn out to be good...

Anyway what we should pray for is that the responsibility in our kids should always outweigh its irresponsibility
Because whether we like it or not ...the spirit of irresponsibility and responsibility is in every one..
Swear I didn’t read the write up.

But if this slayworm dude could….I no get excuse.
*BRB* grin

*Back*

Deep stuff right here

Truth is most family’s actually end up having a hybrid of the permissive and authoritarian parenting.

I notice that women who have difficult husbands (who tend to be super strict and bastardly tongue) tend to over compensate by being permissive to almost all their kids request.

It’s fundamental that parents maintain a united front in dealing with their kids. Anything outside this breeds unhealthy competition and perception amongst the kids

dasparrow:
Cousin9999 is right. You can choose to listen or not. If you have already made up your mind on what to do, why did you create this thread asking for advice? If you are indeed making 1.3 million Naira monthly, then why are you trying to leave your homeland, your family, friends and acquaintances to go all the way to Indonesia which is not even a first world country and where the indigenous population of that nation are not even used to Black folks?

You see this silly mindset that most of you Nigerians have whereby you always think that the grass is greener on the other side, well, that is what will be your undoing. Some of you are destined by the Most High God to make it in Nigeria but you throw everything away for some phantom job offer in some developing country in Asia somewhere because you lack wisdom.

Should you get fired, not saying that you would, you will not be able to return back to your old job in Nigeria. You will then join the rank of thousands of Nigerians abroad who have nothing going for them, no papers, no job, no nothing and who are too ashamed to return back home. So what do some of them do? They start engaging in drug trafficking and whatever else thereby further soiling the image of Nigeria once they get caught.

Lastly, scammers and dishonest folks do use LinkedIn mail to contact unsuspecting folks in third world countries especially folks who come from countries whose citizens are always in such desperate need to "Japa."
I completely get you. And while I do appreciate the feedback, context really helps.

If all goes well, this will actually be the 2nd international job offer (not the most preferred by anyway). With a back up plan for masters in Uk planned for next year and PR still in the pipeline.

I believe in keeping an open mind to opportunities is best, especially for people aggressively looking to build their CV’s.

The main reason for the thread was advise on living in the country. Not about the decision

But thanks all the same

OlakunmiSMELTD:
1. If the company is a Singaporean company, then it's possible, as most international companies have the right to employ candidate from other countries. Once they re qualify.

All they need to do is to prove to the ministry of labor that they had done the job posting and non of the applicant had the requirements requested for.

If you want to enjoy your stay there.

Stay in Jakarta
Get your car
Get your international driving license before traveling.
Please don't associates yourself with Nigerian ( only trust yourself)
The company would apply for resident permit for you and the necessary documents you would need to take to embassy for visa.

But I will advice you to ask them to pay you in USD or euro. Because Indonesian currency is poor.

For safety, mind the people you walk with, and where you go.
road network, power, and food are very ok.

Health care, I don't have an idea.

Lastly, follow up with the documentation in as much it doesn't involve money. But once you see the sign of them asking you for money. Just block them. And Waka

Best of luck brother
Thanks Chief

I don't believe this offer actually happened.

Indonesia is not a developed, progressive nation. And they're definitely racist.

Any company in that region looking for management will seek locals and people in the region first. They have nothing to attract and retain foreigners.

This offer could be tr4fficking of some kind.
Lol. Extreme view.

Since when did traffickers start targeting mid to senior level managers using LinkedIn mail?
FYI his current pay in in excess of 1.3M naira monthly. So it’s not a case of your everyday hustler.

Hi everyone,

I would really love the feedback from the house on an opportunity that has presented itself for (at least a temporary) move to Indonesia.

Background
I was recently approach by a Singaporean company with a plant in Batam for a senior manager role.

The pay would be twice what I am earning if all goes according to plan, but I know very little about the country and the island itself.

Can any of our esteemed global travels share some information of living in Indonesia and particularly working in Batam.

Things like safety, road network, power, health care, tolerance, etc would be fantastic
