A skilled developer has been so good to create an app to make the information easier to absorb. I do hope an android version is available, feel free to check it out on apple playstore. I'm super impressed with the ease, simplicity and details.

Yes, boss.

My man,
That your question on why we never help ourselves when we are abroad is a question I have been asking since I came to Ireland in 2015!!
Its very worrisome when I see people from diferent countries helping and developing themselves, both as a group and as a commnunity.

Super important to support one another. Past one year now, I now Identify as an Earth citizen, helping those who are minority, vulnerable and weak in a world of inequality is the most sane and humane thing to do.

Going by my notion, tribalism, segregation and discrimination by way of culture and religion has no place in this ideal world. A person need to be ashamed to pick up the gun and attack another just because of differences caused by nationalism and religion.

Simple thing like favouring a person because they attend your church, or from your state is evil and dark.
We are a family just by living in the same planet!!!

At the same time, I'm not against helping a fellow Nigerian in Ireland especially when you're aware of their background, no two Nigerians are the sane, The HAVE NOTs should be supported as much as we can.

We're both vulnerable. In the hierarchical order of the world. Africans rank at the bottom. More likely to die a shocking death from simple diseases, poverty, neglect, war.... you won't feel it yet until you're outside the border of Africa. You'll get a taste in some parts of Africa. By flashing your Nigeria passport, you're met with negative customer service.

We all have a hand in this. The way to judge a nation is by how they treat the vulnerable not the number of the rich. This is why I believe in Socialism. Its not the same as communism(equalism). You need some incentive to get people out of bed, at the same time, you need to protect those falling out of the net by providing them with welfare to ensure they're in reasonable accommodation and food. It takes a good measure of capitalism to encourage innovation and control to steer funds in the right direction.

There's no safety net in Nigeria, this is disgraceful, even with the large amount of churches, yet they do not have the mind to care for their neighbours.
Love thy neighbour as thyself.

In my stay in this country. I've gone from being religious to a sharp drop to Atheism, I became a bit empty due to the structure I'm used to, I'm now agnostic.

When I think of my actions as a religious person, I could say I was programmed and brainwashed in a cult. Like every cult, there's barrier to exit with a whiplash in view, excommunication and withdrawal of support in a povery stricken country. extreme case of conditional love with propaganda to control and manipulate.

I also don't believe in hierarchy, not hard to find segregation, discrimination, racism, tribalism and abuse. Look at the tribes in Nigeria and forms of abuse minorities go through.
When senior management abuses you, nothing happens, that's disgusting.
The thing with hierarchy is that NO ONE WANTS TO BE AT THE BOTTOM!

I was once in your Telegram group with my old phone. I haven't installed Telegram in my current phone

I never knew that, try to join the telegram group, I'm reachable from there

adunnioladipupo:



Hello, please I sent you a mail

I saw the notification, but I lost access to the account.

Are you on telegram?

wowdiva:

Oh mine! Chiggslover! I have been trying to connect with you again. I went on Twitter to check through our chats, but the account is suspended. That is when I decided to send an email. I was worried about you. I am so glad to read your post again.
I am happy you are able to put a name to your unique self. Nigeria and Nigerians need to be open minded to unlearn and learn alot of things.
Congratulations on your new romantic friend (wink)
I am really elated to reach out to you once again.

When the common man is suffering, how much more people who are different.

Thank you very much, was my Twitter account suspended? Also are you on telegram?

What's the average salary for a family of 3 to live comfortably in Ireland.

Is it possible to find a job with poor English language skills. My wife is from EU with not too good English.

Average salary is tricky as the major expense is accommodation, food is relatively cheap regards income.
Since its three, you need at least a one bedroom apartment might cost upwards of €1500, it's even hard to get atm.
There's loads of jobs especially Factory and healthcare where you can survive with little English

DHaran:
Chiggsglover you emailed me,,,, why?

Really?

I dont have access the the account

Happy new year everyone!!

2022 was a great year for me, graduated, got a job, met several people, with the last one showing very good potential and meeting up my expectations romantically as well as being a nice person.


This year was when I discovered i was Autistic.
I knew i wasn't normal from the onset, lol, I knew I was supersensitive, with the emphasis on physical sensitivity.
Changes in light is enough to wake me up!
I'll open another thread about this, its up to the mods to put it in the front page, I'm awkward with licking people's ass, that's part of me, I don't know the process for that.

I noticed I found it very difficult to maintain eye contact even though I read loads of articles in the magazines about ensuring better emotional connections when you maintain eye contacts.

Occasionally, I move my legs to relax. Way back over 15 years ago, I was down with malaria, my dad brought it to my notice and ask me why my legs was restless, I just told him, I DONT KNOW, we didn't have the necessity of the internet then.
That was when I noticed I do that. It was harmless, so they shrugged it off.

I knew something was off with me when my Dad mentioned in one of our family devotion that I didn't speak for a while as a child and that he laid hands on me and I started to talk. This is one of the signs of autism, delayed communication in children.
Nigeria failed me and other dyslexic children with lack of diagnosis and even support.

I'm super sensitive to light, especially bright lights, sounds, slight change in light, I'm awake. My roomie back in the university was very observant and because I was close to the window, when he had overnight practice, would simply put on his phone light, I'll pop out of bed.

I barely turn on my main light, I enjoy the dark, except for when I came to Ireland and discovered what ambient light is, it was a delight! I decorated my living room with lighting strips, it feels heavenly.

I get irritated with loud noise, which is why I barely go dancing. It was a nightmare in a Christian university where you're forced to attend church services. I always go home with headaches and would have to relax after church, waste of time and effort. The speakers were so loud as it was dance dance dance!!!

I spend time in the toilet as that's also a symptom of autism, Constipation, now I have control over my diet and groceries, drinking delicious peak milk helps me alot. My father kept moaning then about what I was doing so long in the toilet.
To ease that, what I did then was I try to go to the toilet before I shower, everyday, it was a big improvement.

I'm very sensitive, I think I'm an extrovert but the world isn't designed for us in mind, atm there's very few adult diagnosis centre, like autistic child won't grow into adults, especially those that aren't diagnosed. Sometimes I avoid people when I detect they're not genuine, I won't say energy, intuition, I can read people very well, it depends largely if I want to shrug it and hope they're different. Sometimes, I'm wrong but people are different given their mood, experiences...

I'm quite talented, could fix everything around the house when I was young, fully capable to put anything apart and couple it together, it's delicious to do that. My dad misses me cos I'm good with changing the car tyre, changing the oil, from a young age. Being an IT engineer suits me lol, its easy for me.

I do have meltdowns, especially when I'm very stressed, because I'm good at avoiding unpleasant people, only family especially my dad urgh, loved ones as well, friends and strangers can't trigger my meltdowns, they don't have that luxury.

My meltdowns includes yelling as I try to explain myself, I dont break things or do otherwise, one of my ex kept gaslighting me, she got good yelling. Its hard to be in a relationship with autism, but still I'm pretty good looking �. I don't beat people up, I never laid hands on my younger ones regardless of what they did, I did beat up two criminals in Nigeria haha, that scuffle was draining, filled me with adrenaline that my body twitched for hours.

I try to avoid being drunk, I drink socially, ofcourse, I can't handle drugs. To be a successful person with autism, it depends largely on how I'm able to masking it and appear normal. I thrive on routines, love it, that's how I'm able to provide care to my family and friends, I know on Sundays, I'll ring my dad or he'll ring me, some people I met in the past fell by the way side because I stopped reaching out to them.

The good friends I have now are the ones that persisted to keep in touch with me. It's impossible for me to pick up the phone and ring someone when I'm bored, I rather watch a movie, gym, game, news, cook something. So it's a test to good friends, I lack the energy to chase career, money, people or friends. The way Ireland is structured, you don't Need connection to survive.


Knowing I'm autistic makes things a whole lot better as I can hold my head high and put a name to my strangeness, its a massive relief to know this. I'll simply tell anyone I'm dating I'm autistic, if they value me, they'll put in the work, research and understand how I'm different as no Autistic people are the same. You'll be surprised the amount of rich people with autism, you Need to see Mark Zuckerberg give interviews, that's how awkward we are, or elon musk, he doesn't have the communication flow Allistic people have.

I changed my email to my school email, when I graduated, the school deleted the email account, an error keeps me from changing it, so I won't see anyone that tries to reach out, @wowdiva....

Last week, I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus, was quite in a rush, the bus I was waiting for just vanished.

Suddenly a taxi slowed and horned, horns are very rare in Ireland. I was especially on a busy road. There was an Irish woman next to me, I assumed the mam in the taxi was signalling her. She looked away and he beckoned on me to come.

I went, he was a fellow Nigerian going my way, and said he's just done with work and likes to help anyone.

I couldn't stop thanking him till he dropped me off. ����. I was surprised and stunned, it just made my day. Drive for hoarding wealth, fake life, Profit before People, flaunting has tainted us as a country. I understand everyone wants a easy life, excess money brings its own issues as well, I now have to worry about eating right, diet, portion control if not, the money will make you a prisoner in your own body. We only respect people based on resources, and will exploit humans, even family and friends to show off.
Look at our politician that should be thinking of legacy, very old, with parts of their body failing, looking to seize power to amass wealth they'll only enjoy for less than twenty years. Its just ridiculous!

Even irish men won't do what he did. Its pretty common in lagos, but due to hunger and desperation, alot of beneficiaries would try to extort. Some male drivers will only invite women they can't get their eyes off, knights in shiny benz... Posherella is swept off her feet.

Usually when im paying for a taxi, I like to be quiet, the taxi drivers will usually be inconveniencing me small talks. I just couldn't shut up. Im capable to pay for taxi, but such goodwill really made my day. Act of goodwill.

There's been so many death from domestic violence. The death of osinachi, the boy from Dowen college, bullying and so on.

These things affects us as a society, bunch of boys will go around and harass an innocent boy, beat him till he loses his identity as a Human being. Its always known that bully's come from dysfunctional and abusive homes and lack the necessary things healthy boys needs.

We always will have people with dysfunctional homes in the society, just sad when they have access to weapons.

First of all, every child In Nigeria has to be treated with dignity and respect, imagine the support a cat in the UK can get. Isnt that shocking. I will come after some of you in future. I was dating one Nigeria girl, the blood in my body dried when she gave me her views. I forgot to tell her the day I come from work and one eye of my child is missing just because the child broke remote or didn't close the door properly, I won't blame myself with whatever action I take.

That's the story of my primary school teacher with a partially closed eye. His uncle was flogging him till the belt got into his eye and blood came out. The reason for flogging can't be justified.

My heart goes out to peope especially women in marriages with an aggressive partner. They can't flee because there's no social support from the government whatsoever. You need to see the comment of one pastor Newman about Osinachi death, I have marked that pastor already. He likened her victimised suffering from her husband to persecution as Christians. With all the suffering in Nigeria, you want me to carry over Persecution, does GOs suffer Persecution with their convoy and posh lifestyle? Did any of us kill Jesus Christ? The real Jesus wasn't even White, he was mostly in the middle East/African.

Been kept so busy, this football player was under fire for kicking his cat. How is that a cat in the UK has more dignity and respect than a child in Nigeria.
He almost lost his place in the team along with his 75million naira he gets every week after the video went viral.

Thanks to the church, parents will proclaim, spoil the rod, spoil the child, this is disgraceful. The UK colonial masters won't beat up their child yet they beat us even to death during the slave trade. Then we now passed the aggression onto our children. Because they're vulnerable and young. Try to beat a working class woman, and see if she won't sue and flee. Beating of children, house wives and dependent partner is shameful. Yet we go to church and expect to go to heaven.

I believe there's good and bad in us. And claiming to be all just and pure will only result in discrimination and division. Just as the saying, the Brightest light cast the darkest shadow.
Happy Socialist Sunday �

Nice video, you should show us, where to get the student leap card - theres a beautiful spot at trinity college, how to touch on and off on the luas, popular groceries spots and deal, African shop, barber and hair dressing spots, your day at work and so on. Your day at pennys. You think these are easy till newbies start getting groceries at spar,
These are few ideas to get you started, I would have done that but I'm only a humble keyboard warrior lol. Cheers.

Alot has been happening!!

First, sad to hear about Deborah that was lynched in Nigeria. I know based on experience that very few northerners migrate permanently, so I'm safe to say whatever I want. It is wrong to kill first. Religion is man made, let's get that clear.


There was a discussion, emoney sponsored portable to the UK, igbo were saying emoney left other igbo musicians and tool a yoruba. If you support that... I'm igbo myself.
I came across a fairly new concept, earth citizen, Earth Citizen is defined by the right to put your Earth citizenship First before Nationality. He considers himself Human First before Nationalistic titles, not limited in thought and action by State, Boundary and Region, Colour, Sex, Religion, and Money.

So basically, Emoney is justified in doing this, he considers portable as a Human being.�

Well said Chiggs. The driving licence is something else. I passed through a lot to get the Category CE Articulated truck licence from scratch to finish. Spent over €6000 and time that I cannot quantify. The worst is going through 4 practical driving tests(B for Car, C for Rigid truck, CE for Articulated truck and Walkaround test for CPC)

That's alot of money, it's what irish citizen will pay for a masters, the truck licence is hard, they made it that way cos of safety concerns, can't believe you even took car.

Trump made lots of sense, I would have respected him alot if he was the one that puller out the troops from Afghanistan, but clearly, he had alot on his plate.

Driving licence

For some of you that want to start driving or think the driving licence process is tough here.
Having the driving license
To start you need a learners permit, gotten through writing the theory test

To get the perfect score
Don't buy anything anywhere, you just need the theory tester, do it as often as you can its super flexible, and free of charge, I'm going after our educational system in Nigeria in future, how can you set questions, give exams and fail to give students a corrected mistakes so they can do better in future.

This theory tester will after every mock show you all your mistakes with detailed explanation. With this I got the perfect score only twice with the mock. And got 30/30 in real test. It's simple.


Thanks to the pandemic, after my masters exam was made online, I knew deep down it will only be a matter of time before they made the theory test remote, I was able to take it in the comfort of my room, sweeet!!!

This is not an ad ooo, I never reach that level yet. Haha
Since the launch of my thread, I've not gotten a single kobo. It's all free service.

Scam awareness!

Just incase someone asks you do invest in crypto, pls be careful, you'll be introduced to a new platform with genuine coin or a platform with fake coin that will be abandoned in no time, dragging your holdings closer to zero

Crypto trading comes with enormous risks, position trading is super risky as you can be liquidated in a zap. Even with all the knowledge and forecasting they do, it's usually alot to do with gambling, your emotions is your worst enemy. And when your emotions is slightly against you, you can lose your entire holdings in a flash. I have experienced that.

You can trade bitcoin, only legitimate way is to buy now and wait, its low at the moment, when it's high towards 60k, sell, it's simple.
I made a mistake towards last year when it rose up, I bought at $37,000 for bitcoin and promised myself I will sell when it got to $70,000.
Crypto kept rising till it got to $69,000 and started to crash �

Guess what, I LOST NOTHING cos I'm not doing position trading, my holdings are in tact cos I HODL. Haha
I will simply wait and sell when it gets to my target and Cash out safely,
This is the only safe way to go into bitcoin. What professional traders don't show you is the time they lose money, they only show you the wins cos the more people that trade, more it rises.

I expected bitcoin to undergo some fluctuations with the Ukraine crisis, but saw nothing, this is why emotions is our worst enemy.

Everytime someone sells their holdings on bitcoin, the price drops depending on size of the investment, same as when they buy. Usually people that trade bitcoin and look fresh in Nigeria are either buying and selling on behalf of people - third party or they're into scams. If you have to do permutations and analysis, and you deduct your losses from your profit, you can make a decent living, comes with lots of risks and expertise. These aren't the kinds we see promising us heaven on YouTube.
Just popped up in my mind, I would hate if mischief comes upon your hard earned money.
Cheers.

My advice would be to work within the 20 hours stipulated. The guidance is there for a reason and flouting it puts your future in Ireland in peril. When I was undergoing my MSc in UK, some students worked more than the 20 hours advised and felt they had gotten away with it, only to have their ILR denied, 7 years after, over them flouting the rule.

When you make any application in the future, your history will be reviewed and depending on the mood in the country or if the VO woke up angry that morning, this can be flagged up and used to deny your application.

The rules are clear, 20 hours during term time and 40 hours between December and January and from June 1st. Please adhere to it!

That's right, the rule was bent during the pandemic, its best to adhere to the 20hours rules, as we're out of the pandemic.
Thanks for this.

KhalJeorge:
Hi Guys, I just moved to Ireland. I got a job that makes me work more than 20hours a week, Would this be an issue with IRP, is Ireland lax on exceeding hours?

Just avoid failing Any course. In failing and applying for extension, they'll consider this, also you shouldn't go above 40 hours, cheers

RTE news : Almost 12,000 pledges to accommodate Ukrainian refugees

http://www.rte.ie/news/2022/0310/1285561-refugee-pledges/

This is from a country undergoing housing crisis.
Thousands are gonna be coming In, if you need to study, I strongly recommend elsewhere. The UK offers the same package that Ireland offers, I heard the cry of those that came to study last batch and even ending of 2020.

According to the report, Ireland struggled to get a thousand unit/accommodation for months during the Syrian crisis. In less than a week, over 12,000 have submitted to host an Ukrainian refugee, you can deduce as you want haha.

Glover:
My heart goes go to the Ukrainians, they're no different from people In Africa and Middle East. How will they feel seeing how everyone is rushing to help the Ukrainians

In an ideal world where religion, race, tribe, sex and so on isn't segregating and compartmentalising us, Wholistically, Every life is equal and deserve equitable attention.

I don't care how blond your hair is, or blue your eyes are, or straight you have your hair, you're no better.

Alot of irish people have asked me of my thought on the war in Ukrainia. I asked them about their thoughts about the conflicts going on in Ethiopia, they said they weren't aware.

I'm glad Joe Biden pulled out his troops from Afghanistan, they shouldn't have been there in the first place.
If we have a new Nigerian leader that will change out country, the first thing that must be done is to reduce our dependence on the US dollars, with every transaction you make with dollars, the treasury department in the USA will cheer and pop champagne. Your country loses.

This was why Libya was taken out of the equation,
Sometimes when I hear this kind of truth, I get depressed, which way now.
China has their own issues because they didn't play the western propaganda and rely on the USA.

I was just wondering how people I'm the middle East and Africa will feel, seeing how other nation is rendering an open arm to them. The word REFUGEE isn't even used much in referring to them, they addressed as people in crisis.

Bunch of REFUGEE in boats will come from Africa and they will be shot at, turned away or silently taken out of the equation. I could see lots of sympathy from alot of Nigerians moaning and crying about the Ukrainians. Even in times or crisis will fare better than almost half of the Nigerian population that's not in crisis.

Is it not foolishness to be crying about someone's misfortune when you're in a bigger mess yourself. Some Nigerians don't even care about the conflicts in our continent, how many of you showed the same sympathy to victims of Ethiopia and tigray.

There's also footage of Nigerians and other people of colour being discriminated against, this was what I was waiting for, Russia would have been worse cos there's very little diversity there. There's also Nigerians that escaped for economic reasons, who said they rather take their chances there than to come back to Nigeria. If the government should make it visa free, over a hundred Nigerians have volunteered in a war where they'll likely be used as baits and would die like chickens. Think about it.

I drop my pen here

olioxx:
Chiggsglover what you wrote up there is common sense, but then believe me when I tell you that if you try that in Nigeria the system will frustrate you.
The way of life in Ireland is completely different from Nigeria, and never make the mistake of coming back to Nigeria, we are going through trying times now.
These current fuel scarcity is the worst I have seen.
I was at a Mobil petrol station yesterday one man nearly naked himself simply because his keg of 25liter fuel was stolen inside that same fuel station. Things dey happen for Naija oo.

Very very sad, this fuel is affecting even some rich, I watched a video of Kate henshaw talking about it, yet some people will go and talk about Ukraine and Russia, when there's fire on the mountain in their region.
Thanks man

An honourable priest was trending about his analogy of davido charity giving vs the Nigerian pastors, he's not far from the Truth, even though the institution he's working under isn't pure but he's striving to use the platform well, I often listen to him on YouTube, I found his teaching to be more realistic than the brainwash we're used go. He's one of the few that supported the end sars protest, he said protest is the only way to get real change, if he catches anyone coming for church meeting, he'll chase them out.

My cousin in Nigeria told me his church had a crusade and one man came to testify that God healed him of covid, I opened my eyes, he said after two weeks he got cured, I said Haha, with covid, if you're not dead after ten days, it will go on its own, he was speechless when i told him. Ignorance is the mantra and it can be a weapon if used properly.

We have some of the richest pastors in the world yet they pay their staff next or workers to nothing, yet they claim they do charity on their own, They avoid getting taxed, I can remember one of the pastor almost lost his voice while he was threatening to curse the government when they wanted to impose tax on his church, that's just low, you need to see how they use court action and goons when they want to seize lands, they pounce on people like wolves to do what they want. Inequality at every corner of the society, there's enough wealth to go around.

You hear people that come to a developed country and brag about how things are, with jobs, carpenters, drivers, technicians, electricians all earn alot, this is due to dignity in labour, whatever Job you do, you shouldn't be ashamed and you must be able to take care of your needs, this is why entrepreneurs in this country don't rake in millions, just as you're getting into your car, your secretary too will jump in her benz, only reason why she may afford a more expensive version than yours was she spent future income by going on a monthly payment more like hire purchase. While you bought yours in cash.

Will anyone anyone here believe that you're no better than the man hawking gala or pure water, Just cos they're a pane of glass that keeps compressed air in, makes you think you're better than him under the boiling sun. Balancing weight of sustenance, maybe this is why we steal and hoard resources, to avoid the burning sun, trapped under that vicious cycle, with the priest with double chin and figure 10, saying if you commit suicide to leave your hell you'll be thrown into a proper pit with fire and brimstone. A man is forced to serve at the lowest rung of the society keeping the rich purse fatter. When he's dead, his capitalist relative will throw a feast with all assorted meat and drinks that he never had.

Recently the government released a bill, whatever job you do, everyone is entitled to paid two weeks holiday in a year, this is something Nigerians will fast and pray to get a job that offers this, when it happens they'll share testimony. Even if you work just a day in an hourly wage work, about 1% I think will come back to you for holiday payment, I got two weeks pay when I was off last year, I could have gone to Spain or Portugal if not for covid. The money will be enough as Spain is cheaper to live in than Ireland. Now there's talk of two weeks sick pay leave for every worker, whether you barb hair, bricklayer, security, dishwasher and so on. You see all these things. Want to leave Nigeria for here, yet people want to keep impoverishing us.

You see someone working full time, Struggling to afford food, getting nothing from working overtime, with no health insurance and possibility of pension, as soon as he looses his job. He's desperate and in big trouble, any of his child that puts the wrong foot forward gets the beating he will never forget, wife isn't innocent either as she married him for sustenance - a means to escape poverty impending doom, she'll likely carry the child and run to her parents or she'll start reconsidering the wink of the rich neighbour across the street.
She grew up with the mindset that only a man should provide, and he's not a man if he can't provide. Even though she's working and can support the family, the man has lost all respects because he's jobless, he might be taking the responsibility in the keeping the house. But in her eyes, he's no longer an equal. Women who even do the same work as men and are comparatively underpaid for the value they bring. This is the evil of Patriarchy.

If I have to go to Nigeria, I'll make it a point to pay everyone around me a living wage, I'm not saying I'll pay based on how they pay in Ireland, my commitment will be to ensure that whoever works for me will get enough to be able to afford a two bedroom apartment or I might hand them the rent, with no trouble paying for basic things like food.

How in the world does rocking a style with close to 20 percent of your hair gone, starting from the front, who told us that's normal, after I've stared at foreign ladies here, then i come to our African ladies and see the front hair gone, I always push my eyes away from them cos it feels like self harm, ladies here are looking at doing all manner of surgeries to enhance their weaknesses according to the current standard of beauty, its the norm for pretty irish ladies to fill their lips to get our type of lips, get tanned to be darker, that's why some might look like trump, haha. It does add some perspective to their colour. They're enhancing themselves, while we're harming ourselves, if a white lady woke up with some of her front hair gone, she'll go on a melt down , rush off to a dermatologist immediately.

To be honest, there's lots of difference kissing an African and a foreign lady, the lips makes lots of difference that's why they get it done, I did mention a concept, standard of beauty, it actually changes just like fashion, the rise in Acceptance of thick women started through Kim kardasian, boyish women used to be more attractive thanks to the modelling agency, now we're pushing for big bold and beautiful in recognition of people that have difficulty reducing weight. Thanks to poverty, big women were seen as richer and attractive while in a country with cheap food, skinny ladies are highly valued, that's the thinking, its all about scarcity. Also big bold and beautiful shouldn't be encouraged and there's higher chance of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and so on
Its not to encourage women to go bigger to be accepted.


I honestly couldn't sleep, its been a long time I wrote here, I find it hard to drop my phone as my train of thought keeps charging, I do find it hard to read up what I've written, pardon my mistakes, I write as if I'm talking that has been my writing style since I was in a writing club in the university.


The reason i mentioned the issue of flogging was in the video that trended in February of a footballer chasing his cat around, they called it animal cruelty, I didn't even see where he landed a hit on the poor cat, but he might lose his job, his cat was seized after an outcry, that's a country that listens to the citizens, its important to know the country is collectively yours, in a sane climate. He was a top footballer but they still took action against him,
last year at the Olympics, a lady was almost torn by the public after she was seen punching her horse out of frustration cos it refused to do her bidding, you needed to see the horse grin like its payback time, who knows what has been happening in private.

People can't beat animals, how much more a human being like you. How much more your child, how much more someone you claim to love.

The story was I had to run away from the place, was almost puking with working with them, working as a support worker has afforded me alot of enlightenment and knowledge, there are things we do that we're supposed to be ashamed of ourselves.
YOU DONT FLOG A CHILD, flogging was part of the virtues of our colonial history, people don't flog animals yet you'll come here and tell me your child whom you love deserves it, that thinking must change.
In flogging that child. It will bring out the worse in you, it's called physical abuse. I can't count loads of times as a child that the intensity of the cane would vary according to the emotions of the parents and teachers, it becomes a channel for pouring frustration that the capitalist boss, pastor, leaders has unleashed on you. How are people even okay with having people with excess resources and people with absolutely nothing, if this isn't a definition of hell, I don't know what is.

Then you grab that vulnerable kid. That has absolutely no say about his life and rip his body just like they did to Jesus christ. Passion of Christ is a beautiful story but we mustn't forget that we had the land and they had the bible, at the end of 1960. They had the land and we grabbed the bible. I still enjoy so many aspects of Christianity, music, teachings because I grew up with it. But I know the truth, the bible has been adjusted to suit an agenda, even in some churches today. They flog children mercilessly, still steal, take women right away, believe in conversion therapy, flog people to cast out possession, abuse kids and religion is the biggest reason to discriminate and fight amongst ourselves. You need to see the wrongful segregation and discrimination that occurs from one church to another, most won't help you at the point of death just because you have article of the marine kingdom, like necklace, chains, attachments and so on.

I'm not in support of attachments haha or straightening hair, it's a common sight in Nigeria to see women with hair that have shifted back. Everyone think its normal cos its the fashion to change your hair like we change clothes, and unravel the things that make our hair healthy, all of these are dated back to the colonial times when the white lady wanted her slave maids to look presentable. We were often forced to run a metal comb in fire and to run that through the hair, in the process, cooking part of your beautiful face just to look like them. Then chemicals that did the same was invented, was listening to a guy tell me how he almost became bald last week, he told me left the relaxer too long, I almost died.

Urgent information!!!!!!!

I will not In good conscience continue to encourage people to come to Ireland. At the moment, there's housing crisis, I'm personally insecure about this. If you can deal with this. You're good to go. Lots of students rented hostels and paid ridiculous amount for hotels. That's the situation now.

You can also apply to the neighbouring country, the UK, they offer similar two year post graduate permit, which is why I was in Ireland in the first place, at the time of my application former British PM had stopped the two year post graduate permit, that changed the destiny of alot of Nigerians that were forced to go back to Nigeria after spend ridiculous amount on the UK education. It would have been better to open fish farm in Nigeria with that money or do something not lotto or betting, the money will cut. It would have been better to set yourself up in Nigeria than to study in the UK at that time. During the time of the current Prime minister, he brought back the two year permit scheme to retain skilled workers.

Not to lose every hope, if you want to come, stick to September entry and resume very very early, also don't get too desperate and get scammed. Also, yourd in good position if you havd family that can host you, you havd to factor in the lifestyle which includes difficulty running away when you get uncomfortable, expect to attend church like your life depends on it, some might insist on morning and evening devotion, you might be the professional house help with a bachelors degree. Haha.

Trust me, Nigerians are very abusive and cold, even the Indians complain of the same too, among themselves, thanks to capitalism and poverty mindset. Even in a country like this, you'll still see people hoarding food and acting up when they think you consume too much food. It's actually possible to spend less than ten percent of your income on food, except you have very exotic taste - you like food stuffs from Nigeria, or you like prepared food, food stuff is ridiculously cheap in relation to your income. Yet they'll still be hoarding it and measuring.

I used to work temporarily In a workplace setting, then I was moved to a different part of the firm and had to work with Nigerians, jeez its not like they were my boss. You need to see how I was almost controlled and manipulated, to this day, I've refused to go back there even though the money was fantastic, work life balance is important, I really felt for my immediate sister in Nigeria that has no option like me to switch when she hated where she worked, she had no option but to start submitting applications and yet continue going to work. How can she be productive?
With the current crisis in Nigeria, every unemployed youth deserve stipend from the government, you'll be surprised how much 5k monthly can do, this will push the government to create jobs for them so they'll benefit from getting tax rather than paying stipend, there's enough wealth to go round, but greed has finished us, even churches can't pay their staff with all the offering and tithe they amass, they only pay musicians cos they're hard to get. They say their reward is in heaven. Ushers, security, toilet cleaners, choir get nothing, gosh I've started rambling.
