heyaa how do you feel when you see Nigerians over there

do you like shout for joy

like how far nah !!! k way ?
u know our way of greeting nah

abi una Dy form posh��

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.

Worst set of people
Not all of them ooooh but 90% of them are bad just looking for who to 419 up and down

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.

Thank you very much, let's talk

With all due respect can i have yours or perhaps any of your contacts

adigun98:
Yo chiggs ,you're the best and I pray for a bigger you and everyone else contributing on the thread ...
Please anyone has an idea how to get job as a forklift operator in Ireland or a cheap tution uni for a bachelor's degree

You're welcome, smaller schools mostly have cheaper tuitions,
For forklift, I don't know the sector, it's not a hard job to get especially the ones used in warehouses, warehouses are always hiring.

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:
bro great job you are doing on the thread , pls what's the chances of working at an Irish University after PhD completion ?

seunny4lif:

You funny ooooh
No be like sweet now
Even in Germany you can eat German bread but am talking about Hamburgers or things that can litter the bus
You know what I mean jooor
All those junks foods

Alright now I get you, they want to avoid spill and mess in the bus.

Nzeelvis:
Thanks @ Chiggsglover for creating dis wonderful thread. U have really helped me and others see Ireland thro ur eyes; my visa was approved yesterday. I am going to DBS; MBA. I want to know if MBA is lucrative over there. If no; wat is ur advice? Thank you.

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.

seunny4lif:
I once worked with Panda waste management before
If you that company
But the money na nonsense jooor

Its uncomfortable, you don hustle o

seunny4lif:
Lol
Nobody go fined inside Dublin Bus because the driver go see you on his video while driving and scream at you to stop eating or get out of the Bus
You know Irish bus drivers don’t have time
Check the bus and you will see it was written there
No eat or Litter the bus
Irish bus don’t have control officers because the driver controls passengers here




But in other countries, they have transportation control officers, so the driver has no business with people in the bus.
If you like buy tickets but those guys dey fined people anyhow
Even me self don collect fined before just because of one bus stop of 2€
I follow them fight self and police but at last I pay the money 60€
That’s money pay pass any thing because of just 2€

Those drivers will use style n become class captain, that's how I put hand around bae shoulder, baba almost cried.

I have thrown sweet in my mouth occassionally, I never knew eating was wrong.
That €60 is luas, how can you over pass your route with bus?

wowdiva:
There's no way you will be treated like that in Nigeria, absolutely no way!
I did this rice pudding for my son when he was 9 months, I sometimes blend banana with it, I also use Ofada rice, but I have never tried honey. Just milk, banana and rice. It's really yummy.

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

Yampotatocarrot:
Question please, is this privately owned?

You said foot path to your house, is your house in a village or something like this is found in big cities? Also, who maintains it if it isn't privately owned?

Every home is mostly privately owned except owners that hand it over to the mortgage company, my landlord maintains the property himself, you'll see old man pushing that mower up n down and it's good exercise.

Sparrow0:
Lol true, no peace of mind at all. Seeing the cops will be like seeing a ghost at night
I no strong reach that level abeg

That's true o, you'll be running

seunny4lif:
Fairview is more beautiful joor

Really?

Yampotatocarrot:
Maintained by the government or private entities? For the playground, does one pay to get in?

This might sound stupid, but how come most streets look spotlessly clean. Is it that they have sweepers like we have here, and do the sweepers go to INNER STREETS cos even those pix from what is posted here are clean also

Hope you don't get offended by the questions, it just looks too good to be true. I feel most of the pix are photoshopped to look this way

Hahahah, photoshop kwa, pictures of lekki isn't photoshoped oooo,
Streets can be squeaky clean. Covenant university in Nigeria tries to maintain that standard, that was where I first got stunned by squeaky clean cities.

seunny4lif:
Yes, Maintained by the council of each area which means maintain by the government
No photo-shopped, because I took some those picture myself and that was my road
Dublin is not even neat compare to Munich or Milano
I have lived in Munich and been to Zurich before
In all the advance countries you get around 100 Euros fined, If you litter the streets and If you leave your dog poo on the street you 250 Euros
Any street with Dog poos get the fined

Laws that worked
This place is called English Garden and its located in Munich
Its one of the biggest garden in the world and it was built by former King of Bayern region

Lovely
No sweepers actually, they have a vehicle with automated brush that Is driven around, it cleans the street as it moves and makes lots of noise, I'm usually pissed to take a picture of it.

seunny4lif:
You can't eat inside Bus
You can get fined

Really, wow, I never knew that oooo.
The fine here no be 10k o, abeg enlighten us more, me just be JJC

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.

Sparrow0:
I swear bro
Seunny4lif don talk say make I no stress myself, I'm really trying.
I just don't want to be another illegal immigrant from Nigeria, otherwise I for don find way comot for here I swear

That one is worse, looking over yours shoulders always, infact you're already a celeb in that scenario.

seunny4lif:
Becos that's the back of my House

That's great, you dey see am wella,

The field is green and beautiful.

Chai! Second wave of the pandemic. Be careful o

It's 200 cases tho, thanks,
I just got a day off since 7 weeks of working, was supposed to watch a movie, but plan don spoil.

Albertone:
Thank you.

It's been a while!

It's alright, seun spoke well in that regards

It reminds me of The day of the dead in Latin America,
The Animation, Coco enlightened us about this event in a very beautiful way.

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.

Sparrow0:
FUN FACT (it's actually not funny): Did you know that you can save 1 naira everyday for 1 year and it'll not be up to 1 dollar?

Albertone:
Bro abeg i get one question.
Can one come to do masters from an unrelated field in BSc.E.g B.sc Accounting coming over to do Msc Computer science.Is it possible?

Well, it's possible, you mostly have to convince the school if you're gonna cope. They wouldn't want you to be struggling. Some people that do this have some background or experience in computer.

seunny4lif:
Is that Whitehall area?

Lol, yeah it is. How you know eh

We're good o, u?
Just not happy as they announced a second lockdown.
