The Spirit of the Benin people

This man may eventually become Jagaban vice presidential nominee in 2027

The best news ever from Tinubu government

Go and represent us welloo

Those who kidnapped them have also negotiated their release. Haha.. naija. Minister of State for Defense doesn't want to stay in Kebbi for too long.

It will never be, the worst is a breakup...

Exactly what a reasonable President would do

This is an indication of joblessness and uselessness to society. Must everything be in social media?

Well done sir. Wisdom and grace

I think at this juncture, dividing Nigeria into two or three countries should be the narrative now. Let everyone go their separate ways

Wike should get out from this cancer party before hand oooo

Na man you be!!

Alot of people need to learn from this. Not that they dont have money to buy a cell phone, but they just know thr right thing to do with children at the right time

Imagine the people that brought what will eventually wipe their families..... the hammer of consciousness is hard

Deamagamate Nigeria right now. Una dey play there. Aboki dont value life

This is how you know the people sponsoring insurgency

I think General Chris Musa was a better General to lead. This is political

I think it will be fair if the Chief Judge of the Country swears in INEC chairmen. Reason? Because most INEC litigation always rest in the offices of the judiciary.

An Engineer in Ministry of Finance? How? Engr in financial mgt or what?

They should live Okpevholo to govern i beg

Is this office reserve for men only? Why not try a woman?

Africa nations do.not develop procedure with foreign nations because of the little benefit. Anyways, I blame home countries for not developing their countries well

Anyways, to some extent you are right but it depends on the country. But anyone who wants to japa have different reasons. Some are to make money while some are to make good family.

Eriokanmi:
If you read my post well, you'd spot my emphasis on family. The reason you're emigrating at that age isn't for your self primarily, but for the sake of your family. Its never an easy decision to take. If you're doing well at home,you'd be counting down on your retirement at that age.

I posted that comment based on experience, my experience and that of others. I left while still single at late 20s. Two of my friends I assisted to enter usa left in their 40s and without their wives and children, the best arrangement ever. Starting life afresh over there with the family is very tough. They both declared for asylum and got their green card. With 10 years validity during Biden administration. As I speak to you, their family always visit and they're are OK. They too come home yearly. I know 2 of their children schooling in ABUAD, one of the highly rated universities globally. Its located in ekiti while the younger ones attend good sec schools in lagos.

Those who know me here know i dont fabricate stories. Wives are well engaged in business. They're not struggling to pay fees. They've both owned a duplex each here in alimosho lagos. I sourced an architect, workers and suppliers here on Nairaland for their houses. Renting 2 bed in the usa for example is huge, for a family just starting. I've lived there for years before relocating to Nigeria to set up my business and I've been visiting the US for 21 years now. Will you as a starter want to put family in a one bed? You can save and give them good life at home. My friends told me once they get their passport, they'd file for the family, gbam! That's wisdom.

The example you cited can truly happen, I'm not ruling it out. Na wetin I experience and witness I dey use for example. Its the best, trust me.

This is a very wrong approach. If you are 40 and above, the best way to travel is to go with your family. Family should be number one reason you are looking for greener pasture in life. I have a friend who traveled without his family but only to get there and all it takes was for him to arrange marriage. Its almost 6 years now, he hasnt been able to have physical contact with his own family. He is regreting daily. Money shouldn't be the first approach for traveling but have your family round with you and seeing them grow should be the the present approach. However, you will understand that the way the west value children is way better than Africans value their children; they set aside adequate care for children including good school and environment, only if you have the fear of God and you also instinct that fear of God and good value on your children. Finally, the reason we made much effort to have a good life is to see our children around us and any suffer we see ourselves during the hustling always translateto joy when you see your family intact with you.

Eriokanmi:
The best way to japa is when you're still single. You'd make it faster with a clear sense of direction, judging from experience. Also, once you've clocked 40s, please dont take the entire family with you at first, or you'd be feeding from hand to mouth and over stress yourself to make ends meet. Life no hard, it's what you make it.

Go, work and take care of your family back home. You may decide to stay back at work and do overtime. Or you combine 2 jobs together, you may even be away for the whole week from home, hustling. Love is incomplete without money oo, put that in your left palm so you don't feed with it.. With your family with you, you cant achieve much. Don't expect any white collar job when you get there at 40s, even as a single youth but if it comes your way, grab it. Put your children in good schools back home, you're still spending far less in best schools locally, compared to the fees and expenses over there. Maintain just one room where you can sleep and wake up. With your family with you, you know that's not possible .

Once you're fully settled with some reliable investments back home and children education well sorted out, then you may invite them over for holidays, until they finally move and this time, they're graduates seeking to further. Wife too won't have to work under stress.

Celebrating 41? I thought she ll be 51? Anyways, happy birthday.

Burutai talking trash yesterday, so all through Buhaha regime, they were all faking their capturing news! These criminals were being pampered for 8 years.... Kudos to NSA, CDS and the President for this giant gains

Very soon you will see delegate from above in a long bus to visit now ooo

The RUGA Minister. Rest in peace and good bye

Lazy man, you want to work a white collar job in a country that even try to receive you as what? Go an work in a factory my friend and negotiate to buy that house again. You came to Canada and want to live as if you are in Nigeria. Lazy thing...

This man is another department of APC, just imagine.. hahaha

This time around, I pray there should not be any form of Red card oooo... victory for the Falcons. I give it to President Tinubu for approving all their allowances. The era of owing allowances is over. Victory once again.
