From my question above, I really would want to know from political parties members here, do our political parties have ideologies of a state or the country should be governed?

What do they use as guide to enact laws and make policies?

America for example, I only read through their ideologies before being a supporter of the republican party. Not here.

From whatever divide you support, I would like to be cleared please. Thank you

Interestingly, I had this same thoughts A couple of days ago. In summary, our political parties don’t have any ideologies. Ideologies usually originate from Philosophy, logic and a touch of pragmatism. Ours is nation where religion and culture reigns supreme. Original thinking and questioning the status quo is considered blasphemy. A nation without guiding ideologies and thinkers cannot grow. That’s why Nigeria is currently messed up - No guiding Ideologies.

On a side note, why did you choose the Republican ideology? Do you live in America? The current republicans in the us are not really republicans but libertarians. The Original republicans had great intentions. The abolition of slavery,the reconstruction era as well as the new deal were largely Republican efforts. The current republicans(mostly libertarians) are a cancer to America. Their current ideolology of small government, the worship and preservation of capitalist at the expense of social fabric in addition to the subtle but visible believe in “all man for himself” is why America is where it is today.

As for me, I have chosen to align with Democratic socialists cos I believe a nation is as strong as its weakest link. Also, capitalism if left unchecked would consume itself.

What Obama did to this world ehh, I feel that if the leftist party wins the next election again, the world will end swiftly.

Please enlighten me. What exactly did Obama do?

This call was very inappropriate and unnecessary if he was really unafraid of Joe Biden like he's being claiming. This man seems to be preparing his own downfall with his carelessness and disregard for the rule of law. I've always been a fan of Trump, but he's always victimizing others whilst claiming victimization everyday. Anybody who disagrees with him is his enemy. That's why he's sacked more than half of his friends and confidantes who were instrumental to his winning election.

God bless you for this. The trump administration is a complete waste. It used to be a thing of pride to work at the White House. Not anymore.

helinues:
Democrats are only wasting their time with this impeachment procedures.

New presidential election is just months away. Why can't they channel their energy on that.

Its obvious Trump's reelection is unstoppable

Funny you say that. Then why use ask Ukraine for help to investigate Biden?

Righteousness89:
If u like live in White House! You decided to be in Water and have Soap in your Eyes

Typical empty response of one who has nothing meaningful to say.

You made a statement about America never being this better until Trump..I asked you How? And your response was to hurl insults without providing any meaningful response or context. Smh.

And the sad part, you don’t even live in America. You have no idea on the reality on ground, yet you have an opinion based on what? Ignorance? Smh.

Na Poverty of the mInd Dey worry you. Biko go and buy fuel and charge your phone.

Righteousness89:
America has not had it this Great in a Long while!

I Salute President Donald Trump! This is how every person elected as President should Be....

Preserve your Citizens first before others!!

Oga, please explain to me how America has never had it this great?

Oh btw, I live in America...

Hi all, i hope you are all doing well. Please, i need help on how to advise two people who sought my counsel.

Let's call them Ayo and Tunde. Ayo wants has a bachelors in political science and plans to do a masters in political science/any related degree in the us, as a stepping stone to eventually migrating to America. Tunde on the other hand, has a bachelors in Business Admin and also wants to pursue a masters degree in a related field as a means of eventually permanently living in america.

Both guys want to use their education as means of eventually living in America. This is quite normal and does happen often.

Thing is, i had a bachelors in Electrical/Elect Engineering from Nigeria and did my Masters in Computer Science here in the U.S. Let’s just say i’m Fortunate enough to be in a situation where I can work without needing a visa/authorization. Since i don't have any experience with Business admin, political science or working on h1b, i'm finding it hard advising these guys as i dont know how the job market as well as the visa for these major work in the us.

Additionally, with the current climate where american companies are relunctant to hire international students (h1b issues), especially non stem based majors, what should i advise these guys to study? Should i advise them to switch to stem based courses as this would enable them more easily get jobs in the future or should i encourage them to continue with their current majors?

Please note, the end game for these guys it to legally become us residents sometime in the future. What would you recommend?

Thank you.

As the election gets closer, Boko Haram activities increases...

deebrain:
Its obvious many nairalanders have unfortunate thinking.

Like seriously, if this is the state of our youth, then I'm sorry!

I've seen many big companies and hotels being run by single ladies. And many hefty men are under them without issues! Many of them have mansions with heavy dudes manning the place.

Is this what Nairaland has turned to?

Let's be objective. if it was Toke doing a dirty character deed, okay, BUT THIS IS A GOOD THING AND SHE AND HER STAFF, SHOULD BE COMMENDED.



Nonsense.

Bro na so we we am o. Many Nigerian youths have no brain. Most of them have no idea how the corporate world is run. They don’t understand that someone of Toke’s status would have a very tight schedule and would be unable to perform home chores.

This is absolutely spot on and backed by actual research. I've been advising friends for a long time to give up microwave due to it's harmful effects. I stopped using it a long time ago. My initial fear was that heating up food would take longer. That turned out to be untrue. Heating up food with a regular pot turned ou t to be just fine and quick.

[quote author=GeraldineAde777 post=68805353]Hi Ninja congrats Bro pls can I pm you? Tnks

Sure.

Hi Everyone, i hope you all doing fine I know its been ages since i made any post on this thread. To say i've been busy is an understatement.

I am just writing to let everyone know that no matter what challenge you are currently going through in your life, it's just a temporary situation. Have faith, work hard, keep a positive mindset and God will see you through.

I understand the content of the original post of this thread may require an update. I would try my best to update it. At the same time, please be aware it's been ages since i wrote the GRE and i may not have the latest tips and tricks. Still, i believe the fundamentals remain the same.

Lastly, i want to say a big Thank you to all those who still come to this thread to share valuable information. Na una be the real MVP. May God continue to bless you all.

Una well done o.

P.S: Does any know where a copy of the latest edition of Official GRE Book is sold in Nigeria? Preferably Lagos or Warri?
Thanks.

RexCheeng:

lionlee216:


You una dey yankee? Knew you from italy thread.

So what is acceptable is birth ceetificate issued from the local government or from the hospital where you were born.

NPC is not accceptable.

You have the wrong person. Never been to Italy nor used the Italy thread.

Hi Everyone, i greet you all. Please i got a request for information on my I-485. I was told the NPC issued Attestation of Birth is not a sufficient substitute for a birth Certificate. I was born before 1992 and as such can only get an attestation of birth from NPC. Please, if there is anyone in the house who had similar experience, please let me know how you were able to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance. @blowjobs

Goldaccumulator:

All the people I have caused are dead now, u won't be an exception

And all the people who wish death upon me are all dead now..you won't be an exception...

Btw, pls learn how-to spell "curse" properly..it mightsave your life someday.

Goldaccumulator:

You will die by mob action from locals where ever you are before end of june

A very solid back to sender. It is you who will die by mob action by the end of June.

HORRORIZON:
Wow a lot of the comments on in here are atrocious to say the least, and it's mostly sad that it's coming from the males. If the roles were reversed and it was a Nigerian man killing his Danish wife in Denmark, Danish men would unanimously without question be calling to have the husband killed on the spot, with a plethora of racist comments aimed at him and all blacks as a whole thrown in, and here you sorry azz Nigerian Niggas running like a bunch of Tom azz bitches to come defend this sorry azz Oyibo over your own women. What a piece of worthless shit you'all are.

It goes to show Nigerians are their own worst enemies. They have no love for themselves and would instead worship a foreigner even if that foreigner was responsible for their death. I regret being born a Nigerian. Glad i no longer live in naija.

Goldaccumulator:

Shut up there, thunder fire you and in that place that you are, you will be killed by the locals there and your news will be all over nairaland and I will be here to comment

Ode!!! Back to sender. It is you and your family that will be killed by locals. Lmao. Chai my comment pain am...No atom of conscience, come on public forumn and type rubbish. If Alizee was your sister, would you call her an Olosho? Oga oversabi.

I don't even have anything else to say to you, go and buy fuel for your gen.

denkyw:
They should free that innocent man, if you discovered that the gal you call your daughter for the past four years isn't really yours, wouldn't you do the same.

Another Nigerian animal with no brain. How dare you insunate her child was had out of wedlock? No wonder western nation's have no respect for you. You sell your own to slavery and have no love and respect for your own people.


God forbid. Tufia.

Goldaccumulator:
See what that useless olosho is causing this man now. I checked her instagram and it was obvious she must have been cheating. No post if her with him, 95% of her post was of her and guys, most celebs and we know these guys no dey carry toto play. Now see

God punish you and your full family for calling Alizee as olosho. You Nigerians are indeed the scum of the earth. You have no love for yourself that's why foreigners take advantage of you.

Thank God i left that cursed land.

PrincessB1:
I just wanna know the reason behind the murder cos there is no smoke without fire.

Still waiting

Women are their own worst enemies how dare you insinuate that she must have been repsonsible for his violent reaction?

No wonder Nigeria is so backwards!!!!!

Tufia!!!!!!

nairavsdollars:
Lets wait till police conclude their investigations before labeling the man a murderer

With till what? The white trash murdered our black sister and child in cold blood and you are waiting for the results of investigation to identify him as the murderer?

Whereas, if it's one small boy that stole bag of rice, Nigerians would burn him alive!!!


Colonial mentality at it's finest. An oyibo is innocent untill proven guilty while a black man I'd guitly until proven innocent. Smh.

That's how innocent black boys keep getting killed by white cops over here in the US. We thank God for Camera's that have exposing the truth.

Gone are those days when Integrity and a sense of community was alive. The women knew they had the power to effect change and they used that power wisely.

What do we have today? The complete opposite. The average Naija babe would rather "Slay", watch big brother or focus on getting married.

On how to make the nation better? How does that one concern her?

Remember, evil thrives when good men/women do nothing.

P.s: Dear Nigeria, you deserve your current situation. How can you improve when everyone is singularly concerned about themselves. It's so ingrained in our subconscious that we have a name for it - "I better pass my neighbor"

RevJamez:


The son doeesn't need anything, it's you the father that needs a therapist, you want to tell me you don't know how to talk to your little child, what of when he becomes a teen and goes through the rebellious phase, You need to see a counselor or attend seminars on how to train children, if you keep running to therapists for every little problem it will create a poor relationship between you an him. Instead, you go to a therapist yourself and learn how to be a better father.

Sir, your comment is extremely insensitive. Do you have any experience in this matter? How can you publicly pass judgement when you have no idea on the situation on ground. Please if you have nothing constructive to contribute, walk away. Irrelevant comments are not necessary.

This sums up the problem with Nigeria. Giving professional advise when you have no qualifications.

Treasure17:
These are people that possess a sense of humanity in them, while over here we are pleading to our government to pay a visit to the people of Benue.

Don't be deceived. The white man cares for himself. A white boy walked into a black church and murdered over 10 people. Not a dime was raised for compensation.

Go online and google "black Wall Street", Fred Hampton, Crack cocaine Iran contra CIA link, and the American civil war.

America is a nation of hypocrisy. The more you know, the more you understand.

This is a petty photo. I lived in rivers during Ameachi's tenure. He built over 200 standard school's. I was there. I saw it all.
