Fvck Israel!

Nahunger:
Fvck Hamas 🔥

I still struggle to understand the rationale behind Nigerians urge to always choose a side in wars and unrest that doesn't remotely concern them. Same with Ukraine and Russia. Is your problem Coronavirus or Hunger?

my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.

edited with more info.

Please don't waste your time on indeed. More often than not, the emails you get from them about a prospective job are normally AI generated. Put your CV on reeds, totaljobs, CV library and set your profile to open. Get in touch with Job agencies; bluearrow etc. If you have a dependant, there may be hope for you if they can work. I believe there's a Nigeria community on twitter, you may want to join the community just in case because I've heard people share job updates there. Hang in there and wish you best of luck

Aremson14:
Hey man what would u advise someone with a fully funded scholarship (comp science) vs a remote job in Nigeria that pays 200k hybrid(based on Lagos) to report once a month… currently based in a cheap state ?

I can't think for you sir. Do what you think is best for you. Which of the two options aligns with your long term goal and aspiration?

I remember warning people a while ago to use logic before deciding to come to the UK, rather than the typical Naija's attitude of "We will cross the bridge when we get to it" No one is saying you shouldn't come to the UK but make sure you've paid your school fees in full before stepping foot on the plane and have some money left to sustain you for at least 9 months.

You CANNOT pay part of your school fees and believe you will be able to hustle for the balance on a 20 hours/ week job, especially if you're a solo student with no dependent but it seems people just want to get the UK visa by all means.

I've seen fully grown men and women beg for food, money and accommodation because they either can't balance their school fees or they arrived and realised there's no health care job waiting for them. UK is a hostile place to be if you're an immigrant and broke.

Whites love pets.....Should this fall within the brackets of Vanity upon vanity..?

Rico is not a pet. Rico is a valued member of the police force (SWAT), skilled at sniffing out criminals where human police or robots can't reach.

Chinny024:
I responded since you supported it...either way, they are bad..

No Chinny I don't support it but I don't judge either. My point is that men are not Jesus, neither are women saint Mary. The case of men sleeping with housemaid and women sleeping with gateman is different to a setting where either party deliberately cheat on the other outside of their home. It's best to avoid a situation where your morals will undoubtedly be tested. You don't leave a banana dangling in front of a monkey.

Chinny024:
Lol...love of his life u said?.
Is beyond madness if a man stoops so low to sleep with a house help..

But it's within the frame of sanity for wives to sleep with Adamu that is in charge of manning the gate? Your medal for moral policing is still in its design stage.

A woman that is cooking and taking care of a man's household and maybe beautifully made and good to stare at twice as the icing on the cake? Pressure go dey na. That's one reason why I won't have a housemaid in the first place. I see myself as a decent enough person and morally upright (If I do say so myself) but this scenario may present the chance of losing a speck of that moral. Housemaid may want it and you know deep down that you will like to play dirty as well. It may be messy in the end when sh1t hits the fan but we don't think about that mess at first.

Nigeria but also proud that my freedom and right of abode is not limited to Nigeria alone because what the hell!

Yankiss:
This is why I prefer developing buildings to fast cars. You can't hear that a house crashed. Though there are instances of building collapse, but this is rare and can be avoided with better engineering, crashing a car is quite easy. Imagine the amount involved? 700k pounds. Haba, that's 660m naira. God abeg bless me.

Ok but he has "buildings" and has fast cars

I doubt Mohbad died before he was buried. I think he died in the grave

I agree with almost all of them. In my own case however,

(1) Food - An area 20 minutes drive from me is littered with Nigerian/African restaurant and they serve varieties of good delicacies but the real touch of the Naija flavour is missing, also you can hardly get real goat meat. (Ogufe) and you also can't compare the offals to the ones in Nigeria.

(2) Social life: - You may suffer if you are a JJC but overtime you will find your "people" and learn to work around other commitments.

(3) Women: - Given the fact that I didn't have that much experience with Naija girls in Nigeria, I'm curious to explore when I visit but erm... plenty girls here of various race that will happily date/bed you if you know the game.

(4) Work-life balance: - Don't be quick to conclude on this because of the situation of a 48 year old man. This largely depends on job or industry. Majority of office based jobs now are hybrid; 2 days in the office, 3 days at home kind of settings and weekend is all yours of course. Again it depends on job and industry.

(5) Friendliness: - This is true to some extent but I understand what you mean. I prefer it that way though, acquaintances are acquaintances, work colleagues are work colleagues and of course relationship in this settings can grow into something more personal if you share same values, hobbies, etc.

(6) Church: - Erm...Cancelled. I'll rather be looking after myself after a few drinks the night before, or just relax generally. The guys that introduced christianity to Nigeria don't go to church, why should I?

(7) Friends/Naija vibes: - With this, people tend to send invite for gatherings well in advance but when we turn up, we do exactly that. Impromptu get-together are however occasional.

( Weather: - Erm true, UK weather especially in some unforgiven winter months can make you feel like you're in a giant and invisible industrial freezer but I've also basked in 40 degree celsius in Nigeria, making what would have otherwise been an enjoyable short holiday somewhat unbearable to the extent that I was actually counting down the days to my return. Now I know to choose the month I visit carefully.

(9) Family Support: - Very true this.

(10) Christmas and other festivities - This is also very true. I really nearly cried on my first Christmas here but eventually got used to the ambience and atmosphere of British Christmas which is actually not that bad, especially if you have families here but Naija Christmas still wins hands down.

Righteousness2:
Condolences to the people of Libya.

From Africa to Europe to Asia to Australia to America, it is unprecendented Floods, Fires, typhoons, Earthquakes, Wars, and Disasters.

I Sincerely Believe GOD is warning an Unsaved and Unrepentant world that HIS final Judgements are at the door step .

We are Currently witnessing events that will continue to be more Frequent and more Intense until GOD pours out HIS Final Judgements on an Unbelieving and Unrepentant world.

Fasten your seat belts.
Bible prophecy is accelerating at a High rate of Speed.

The Coming of JESUS CHRIST is soooooo imminent.
REPENT and BELIVE on JESUS CHRIST so as to be Escape what is Coming on this Sinking Filthy World.

All these unusual occurences are direct consequence of the damages we are collectively inflicting on our mother earth, from big corporations down to the average Tom, Ahmed and Musa, not because Jesus is coming. That guy died, let him rest and you should rest too.

I don't mean to sound like I'm undermining your religion but not everything should be attributed to your looming doomsday. It makes you come across as an absolute muppet.

My blood is burning now as I write.My wife has now completely changed for bad, a few days after our second child.

An erstwhile submissive woman that i thought i had tamed for life has now become a thorn in the flesh to me. I just parted with over 300k unplanned fund for her C.S. I thought she'd be more respectful to me now but no,she has changed completely!

She dares me to do my worst,she cries over small issues that i wonder if it's witchcraft.Or she thinks I can't quit cos she's got two boys for me? The mind boggles. Am just mad and gobsmacked at the same time as all my Red pill O.T have failed and am even considering divorce right now.

I'm at a bar drinking my sorry ass away, brainstorming the best option for me. What could be outta place?

I need candid advice,folks.

Wow! this one of a kind man parted with over 300K unplanned C.S fee for his tamed wife so that she can deliver his newborn safely. Someone please give this plonker a medal

That's honeycomb moray eel. It looks like those people are already butchering it for food but may actually be poisonous to eat

Whenever I visit Nigeria

He should be fine if he speak clearly and slowly. He should also ask his foreign colleagues for clarification if they say something he doesn't understand. My employer being a global business, I regularly talk/hold meetings with colleagues in different European countries with different accents. Careful listening is a skill he should hone himself with. Employers will judge your communication skills, not your accent skills.

BlaqScarface:
I want to pursue a masters abroad as a means of escaping this country. I’m jobless at the moment but I’ve been saving from my former job for two years and also got a couple millions from sport betting and inheritance.

I’m confused about this while japa thing as I don’t want to go abroad and start doing useless jobs or start suffering or get depressed in another man’s land. I want stability and peace in a country with a reasonable economy.

Also, I have a first degree in English language, I’m 24. I’m confused on the path of my life to take please advise me.

It amazes me how people who are apparently educated and have access to the internet cannot conduct simple research. You have 7 mill and intend pursuing a master’s degree abroad but you don’t know which country.

Draw up a list of educational institutions around the world, offering their master’s degree programme that fits within your budget.

Out of say 5 universities in 5 countries, which of them will give you value for your money in terms of education quality and opportunities post graduation, cost of living etc.

Also consider applying for scholarships, I doubt 7 mill will cut it considering naira is currently somewhere in the dump and doesn't pull much of a weight against foreign currencies.

Come on, you’re prospectively going to be studying for your masters, that means at least you’re a University graduate, you should be able to do these things yourself. You’re either lazy or not using the best part of your brain, no offence.

Since you seem not to be able to or rather chose not to seek independent insight into how your supposed plan can come to fruition, DO NOT let any "agent" sell you the fancy dream of UK with skilled work visa. 7 million naira will probably run it but I can categorically tell you that despite you acquiring the visa and getting to UK, you will be stranded because that agent, in reality doesn't have any job for you. I will also tell you that you would wish you stayed put in Nigeria if you go to the UK without a job, stranded and broke. Oh, winter is also coming. Best of luck

Prigozhin has more life than Super Mario or a hundred crafty cats and he knows Putin very well. I suspect a doppelganger has gone down with that plane and Prigozhin is currently sunning himself on a beach somewhere in South Africa and toasting to the success of his Special Fake Death Operation. Game of Chess.

What a surprise to no-one! Prigozhin has been a walking dead since his failed mutiny attempt two months ago. If you're planning a rebellion against Putin, you HAVE TO follow through and finish it, if of course you don't want to die. Putin has said it himself sometimes in 2018 that he is able to forgive but he will NEVER forgive an act of betrayal and obviously in Putin's court, death is the price of betrayal.

Putin will "off" you for criticising his regime, not to talk of personally betraying him. Prigozhin should ask the guys below and many others undocumented who have died in the hands of the Kremlin for either betraying him or criticising his regime.

Pavel Antov
Ravil Maganov
Dan Rapoport
Mikhail Lesin
Boris Berezovsky
Natalia Estemirova
Stanislav Markelova
Anastasia Baburova
Alexander Litvinenko
Anna Politkovskaya
Paul Klebnikov
Sergei Yushenkov

But looking at it from a different lens, the news of his presumed death may very well be a staged opportunity for him to completely go into exile far away from Putin's radar, who knows. Prighozin should be smart enough to know that his grand master will not forgive the failed rebellion. It's a game of chess, hard to trust anything that comes out of that dysfunctional Mafia-style Russia of a country. In Putin's Russia, majority of the time, the more you see, the less you know.

Come on, crawl outside of your cave. Which men don't like tattoos on women? Nigerian men? Men in general? Where's the statistics to support the claim? Speaking for myself, I care less if a woman has a tattoo or not. There are "good" girls with tattoos, there are also "bad" girls without. I think I'll judge an inked girl on the interpretation and meaning of the tattoo and why they got it instead of assuming that tattoo'ed girls are inherently wayward.

Hello Nairalanders
Have seen a whole lot of Samsung Users about how their smartphone suddenly has a green line running through the display.

Most smartphones function normal with the line but it is always obvious that something is wrong with that part of the screen. There are also reports that the line appears all of a sudden without the phone dropping or after receiving an update.

Two of my friends have the same issue and several other people. Why is the brand not saying anything about the issue or try to fix it.

You would normally expect this muppet to be tech savvy at least to the knowledge point of the fact that Apple Inc. buys its displays from Samsung and the green line issue is not Samsung phone specific, it also happens to iPhones. Agba ode has dropped his phone maybe one too many times and the phone has taken the fall for long and is now started to show. Either you use iPhone or Samsung, drop it a few times or at certain height and overtime you will see those lines appear, which is due to connection issue between the digitizer and the phone's LCD. Taking good care of your phone might just be a lot better than unnecessary Samsung v iPhone bashing without any major technical context.

A long night driving on a weekend is top tier for me, especially with a chick. It doesn't happen very often but normal routine is listen to Jazz on mid-ish volume, stop at the parking lot of a service station, get some head maybe, some snacks and drinks as well, continue the journey, stop at the next service station, rinse and repeat till I get to destination.

What a load of tosh

Very poor interview/recruitment practice. If it's real in the first place that is.

N3TRAL:
It's their tradition for a bride to frown for an extended period while she's sprayed with money by the groom, his family and friends.

The proper display of the custom during their traditional weddings is to appear unhappy as long as possible until she's satisfied with the money showered on her.

When she's satisfied, she will smile.

That's a very happy bride whose husband will be drunk with her pvssy juice during honeymoon.

A lovely couple.

I find it strange masquerading happiness with a sulky face and blasé demeanour but hey you learn something new everyday. With the bolded, do the men drink that too? Or you're trying to say she will later be wild for the husband and open like Kai's kitchen?
