E no go better for Apc

Oyo empire fought wars and had vassal states in Dahomey, Borgu and some parts of Nupe land. Benin empire fought wars and made many places to pay tributaries before white men came to Africa. What do you think happened to Nok civilizationWar has always been part of human history. Its about power and control of resources. If there is a world war 3 the winner can still come to recolonize Africa.

The real shame is 500 years after white man came to oppress us with superior weapons we are still useless and not technologically sufficient.

Black Africans are too stupid.

Why always searching for only already made celebrities to tag along with? If you want to see the grandsons of your ancestors, go to the Ghettoes of Brazil and other countries and search for them, or is it only celebrities and successful black people that you care about? Nitwits!

he did the test voluntarily. Wetin concern black Africans?

i applied for permanent residency in 2019 ( skilled worker) . If i was applying today i would not meet the requirements. Canada is also reducing immigration numbers so it’s hard to enter now. Na why i say na only God fit do am for you.

Some people also got visitors visa last year and claimed asylum when they got there. Today you can’t get visitors visa easily again. Visit travel section of nairaland or use google for more research.

What degrees do you have, what is your age, occupation, do you speak or can learn French?

AdvocateWriter:
Every road construction is always being done na a white foreigner. I won't see this as an issue if all Nigerians are employed. Is it not wrong to bring foreign workers to a country where majority of the people are jobless?

why not apply for the contract?

Melagros:
Without their consent, how? Are they members of Nairaland? Can you tell us their monikers on Nairaland?

@ednut1, @Evidenx, Please, kindly help me with this question. I've searched for countries offering Digital Nomad Visa and I have been checking the countries one by one.

Now, I saw Georgia and Barbados which seems so easy for me to enter due to their E-visa opportunities.

Please, any advice regarding the 2 countries? Are they good - (security, economy etc).

Pls help me!! Thanks so much!!

I "may" come back after some months. I sha want to leave this country for some months to rest well and have some peace of mind.


Thanks again

no idea

StarGeneral:
Hmmm... Let me wait for some more suggestions. But pls, suggest some good countries too so I can pick and start processing immediately pls. I don't necessarily need to wait till next year before I start processing. If I even get Visa this year, I will just wait till February next year so I can finish my project before leaving.

Thanks man!!

check online for countries offering digital nomad visa. They usually have salary requirements.

Check Canada or Australia permanent residency if you qualify. Like tensa has said this is the hardest time to japa.

Its just placebo effect. Not real

Another power tussle loading

Placebo effect

Total prisoners in India are not up to 1m

Lol but they sell it in the West too, unless you mean, why is it being re-sold?

at least you know it’s thrift store. The ones taken to Nigeria are gotten from donations branded as charity

VaselineCrew:
Imagine you are the contractor that supplied up to 3 different videos of Ganduje stealing bundles upon bundles of 100 dollar bills.

After your bravery, your country rewards the thief by making him the chairman of the political party in power.

Do you think you will be able to work in Nigeria again? When a thief is elevated, in glaring view of all the video evidence, don’t you think you would be assassinated in that type of a demonic country that rewards evil?

he helped the opposition to indirectly win Kano so he may be compensated with contract

franvincoop:
The export duty to 9ja na charity? What about the baling process, na charity too?
Transportation to 9ja port nko, import and customs duty + vat + port clearance fees + bribe + transport from port to warehouse + labour for container offloading.
Abeg no disturb Charity Nwachukwu.

Veekee is the husband while James is the wife. Like Jaruma said they are just acting like she also did

As we speak some Nigerians are on their way to same libya

Frigga13:
Forgive my ignorance..

Obviously not this moniker ..

PDP would have won last election if Obi had remained and campaign for Atiku..

But Obj deceived him .. or his hate for Atiku.

Atiku also made the mistake of choosing Okowa .. in place of Obi.

Again the noise of power must returned south … and many buying it after the disastrous buhari tenure …

However if obi and kwankwaso can humbly return to PDP.. for the sake of Nigeria as a country not ego.

A million Tinubu and Inec stand no chance

Atiku should have endorsed Obi. We can’t move from one Fulani to another Fulani/ northerner

Where is Muric?

Frigga13:
Is this moniker hacked ?

Oga what’s happening to your support for Tinubu and APC ?
And from your post, you no even dey the country?

Why the sudden anti..

Obi should move back to PDP he will likely win. Where did i support Tinubu? Nawa for una

ukaface:
Should the clothes be given out for free?

why not. You are in the uk i can see. They shared those charity donations nylons to my house when i lived in uk . Same clothes will now end up as okrika. Not fair 🤭

Second hand clothes are charity donations from western countries. Why is it being sold Humans are just evil

Napata77:
So out of the 50 million blacks in America, none is competent to serve in government?

WHAT MONGREL GAVE BIRTH TO YOU. EMPTY HEAD? Would you accept the argument for exclusion if it comes to your ethnic group in Nigeria, on the basis that none of you is competent? YOU FILTHY ANIMAL. You will NEVER accept that excuse, but AFRO-AMERICANS should?

WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACKS?

I MEAN, YOU ARE TRULY SICK IN THE HEAD.



YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF MILLIONS OF OTHER NIGERIANS: YOUR HEAD IS EMPTY OF YOUR HISTORY.

THAT IS WHY WE CALL YOUR TYPE ''DUMB AND DUMBER''.

HERE IS YOUR HISTORY, YOU EMPTY-HEADED NITWIT:


Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace

Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Illustration: Decompiling Dapper: A Preliminary Search for Evidence

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?

This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

paris to benin city by road is 7k kilometres. But you want us to believe Benin wall was 16k kilometres. 🤡.

While others are building rockets, going to space, inventing new technologies. Africans are there creating nothing, with people like you getting excited over an old empire that is no longer relevant. No shame

You were never going to win. Obi should move back to PDP abeg

Napata77:
THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION SAYS NO SUCH THING.

''The Nigerian Constitution does not explicitly mandate ethnic or racial representation in the cabinet. However, like the United States, Nigeria’s governance system has evolved in response to its diverse population, leading to political practices that emphasize inclusion and regional balance...''

- AI (ChatGPT)

So TINUBU CAN APPOINT AN ALL-YORUBA CABINET IF HE WANTS.

HE JUST CHOSE NOT TO BECAUSE WE ARE A MULTI-ETHNIC NATION REQUIRING REPRESENTATION OF ALL MAJOR GROUPS.

WHY WON'T YOUR RACIST IDOL TRUMP DO THE SAME, AND WHY IS THAT OKAY BY YOU?

I am even arguing with a dull person who thinks chat GPT is always correct . You can get a copy of the Nigerian constitution online- Chapter 6. Part 1. Section 147. Ministers Of Federal Government

Trump has appointed 8 people, 7 more to go. Why not wait for the remaining list? And if he doesn’t chose any blacks abeg wetin concern you?

Napata77:
DON'T SHOW ME ANY STUPID NEWSPAPER CLIP FROM IPOB SUPPORTERS SPEWING LIES.

WE ARE TALKING OF TINUBU'S CABINET, JUST AS WE ARE TALKING OF TRUMP'S CABINET.

TINUBU'S CABINET SHOWS FEDERAL CHARACTER IN APPOINTMENT.

WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING THE EXCLUSION OF BLACKS IN THE US GOVT?

YOU UTTERED SOME VOMIT ABOUT ''92% OF BLACK WOMEN VOTED FOR KAMALA SO WHY SHOULD TRUMP APPOINT THEM''?

BUT 98% OF IGBOS VOTED FOR PETER OBI, YET TINUBU HAS MORE IGBOS IN HIS CABINET THAN YORUBAS.

YET YOU WORSHIP TRUMP WHO SPITS IN YOUR FACE BY EXCLUDING BLACKS, WHILE YOU HATE TINUBU AND CALL HIM EVERY NAME UNDER THE SUN.

WHY? BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS UPSIDE DOWN AND YOU ARE SICK.

the constitution of Nigeria says a minister must be appointed from all states. The American constitution does not specify that. There are many blacks in Biden administration including Kamala what have they done for blacks?
