trinityconcept:Shout ke, the only thing I do is to check if I know them from school, because I have a position in the African society. If they're girls, I check for more and continue. |

seunny4lif:I personally have good friends that are Nigerians, especially students, but I like to roll with other foreigners. You still need to interact with people from your country. I try as much as I can to not lower my standards, meaning that if I won't roll with your type in Nigeria, I'll be very cautious with you. For Nigeria girls, I ignore, for the guys, I might just for the sake of socializing interact. You'll basically find me asking lots of questions to increase what I know. For interactions, I really admire the Italians, those from Latin America, I was speaking with one, and her accent was mesmerizing, I can't wait for Covid to end so I can explore. The thing with Irish is that the hot ones won't consider you unless they have Africans at the top of their list and size, smooth skin and build matters to them. Hearing your Nigerian accent with a touch of Queens English is a huge turn on for those. These kinds always know when davido, burna boy,.... drop a song, lol. The only non-student Nigerian I interact with a lot is a former housemate in the second house I moved to. He's Igbo like me and is a British citizen. The barber shop was closed cos of the Lockdown, my hair was getting messy. He told me he barbs and I said why not. He gave me a satisfying haircut and since then I never looked for another barber. Even when I moved out of the house, he would travel and come and shave me in my house, and I still pay the same thing, in all, I pay lesser than I would if I consider the transport and the time I would waste going to city centre. Hahaha, and we have good conversation, I offer him drinks and food, which is F-ing cheap here, I even have my friends to come around to get shaved too especially when they are available, time no dey balanced here o. Every time he barbs me, I'm very satisfied, that's how I nailed one of the best Home service. 14 Likes |

Thanks Working in the university It's dependent on lots of factors, like vacancy, thesis, specialization, and opportunity, if an Irish person can do the same job, it will go to them, that's why we go to the tougher fields, very few irish in health, IT, Engineering ..... frankmoney: |

Nzeelvis:You're welcome bro, I also want to Congratulate those of you that got their visa recently and will be in Ireland soon, I'm happy for you. Just know that what you're seeing on ground is different from what I saw in Jan, but the weather is the same, lol. Less fun, people keeping their distance in ridiculous ways, pls don't take it personally, it's even hard to approach Bae at the Cafe, library, eatery and all. We're trying to Coexist with this virus in a way to function as humans without this virus taking a chunk of of life away and even life itself. MBA is great, there's always job, especially for business administrator. The competition is quite fierce for this job. I might have suggested something related to..... where very few irish bother to look at. There's no irish in my department. For instance. 6 Likes |

wowdiva:Hahaha, I'm like a professional household if you look at it well, just that we dont do house work, only help the client themselves. They're not allowed to use abusive words on us, mistreat us, theyll even feel uncomfortable if they dont say Thank you if I make a cup of tea. Courtesy is mandatory, I'll report any client that misbehaves and they themselves might be nervous if they're only misbehaving to a person of colour, they can get stigmatized with the R word. That's interesting, this was the first time I'm eating Rice in this fashion 1 Like |

This is part of the Perks of travelling. You experience Fooooooodddddd. My client call this Rice pudding, she classifies it as a dessert. When I tasted it, it felt like boiled Rice till it's super soft, some creme and milk with honey. It's absolutely delicious. I can make this myself. Though it came in a can which can be served cold or hot as my client explained. For those of you that's wondering about this client, it's part of my job oooo. There's nothing to do at lunchtime except to hoover the stairs which I do once a week. The rest of the hour is spent at the dining table, Eating and gusting, the husband doesn't speak much, he mostly stares and grunt occasionally. The wife loves to gist, and she always drop appetizers on the table so I chop and talk. I'm getting to like this job, normally, I spend only 10min-30min at a clients house and japka, but with this particular client, I spend the whole hour at lunch time, I also have to be there in the evening. To be honest, clients like this are not very common, I have had three in this job, one died, I felt a lot better after I moved to where I'm currently staying. Inorder not to sound entitled, I don't think I'll be treated this nicely if I was doing this same job in Nigeria. things move quite well I sometimes forget to be grateful, in the US recently, a runner was arrested by the Popo, I know I don't have that fear of the cops because of the reforms. That's a reason to be happy. If I want to move to another country, I have to look well before leaping, fear of the cops will make even those with their passport to feel incomplete. I just discovered a new way to eat rice not as a meal but as dessert. 13 Likes

Hallowed be thy Name!!! I have some personal reservation about this Cultural event. Halloween is coming!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a Celtic way of life, it started in Ireland, haha, yes, it's irish. America is larger in population and from the movies and all it looks like an American thing. I will try my best to be as open minded as possible, I won't deny I have some of my reservation. I'll just observe how they celebrate it. I have a feeling that's Halloween won't be the same this year. So I won't enjoy the full experience of Halloween. I won't go and be looking for the weirdest outfit out there. If I want to try a custume, I might try n look like a babalawo, hahaha. The cold that will finish me eh. 2 Likes
