Treadway: as we type, someone here on Nairaland is paying or in the process of paying even more than that £10k, cos pound is 1100 and also cos of his/her children's future.
So with all this info which isn't so new, would you blame the next victim(s) or the agents or the govts?..
Awon my case is different crew.
see another one of them here. This one is surely going to jail and getting deported after
Samantha124: But let's be honest here, children can be stressful and as their father, you sometimes need to be involved in those children's lives and help look after them because I'm sure your wife could also use a bit of a break from them.
Haven't you ever heard the saying that it takes a village to raise a child?
she doesn’t work. Are women not working and taking care of kids Stop defending nonsense
Kingosytex: We just dey destroy and demolish things
Why not bring the culprits to book and convert the refinery to government use? Since they refine fuel of nice and high quality octane value, why not convert it to government property? Even if the standards fall short, why can't it be upgraded?
not a profitable venture if you have to buy the crude. It also degrades the environment. So only option is destruction
OldBeer: This nonsense is sponsored by Niger Delta money. If Kano was generating its own money, they won't waste it like this. We need true fiscal federalism so that monkey will not continue to work for baboon to chop and born useless children everywhere.
what is Niger delta doing with their own money Delta, bayelsa, edo 🤣
Rostikol: You laugh because you are an ignorant dunce with zero knowledge of African history.
You are so stupid you don’t even realise that the so called Europeans and Asians are descended from black African migrants to those regions.
I have no time to educate a dunce like you. Go on Google and search for Prof. Jin Li’s multinational DNA study that revealed that the Chinese are descended from black African immigrants.
There is even a video on YouTube showing that ancient Nigerians founded Chinese civilisation.
grow up. These are not proofs. Many of these things cannot be proven. People have created nuclear weapons, phones, satellites, aircraft. How will we get to that level is the only relevant things here. Not one ancient mumbo jumbo
Rostikol: No, they did not INVENT it independently.
Iron smelting was an invention, not a discovery.
Ancient Africans took this knowledge to other continents.
Because AFRICA is the Cradle of Civilization.
Do you know that the worlds oldest PAINT FACTORY was discovered in South Africa, and was dated to an incredible 100,000 years old?
That is 95,000 years before our oldest written records! . .
Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed in South Africa
BBC news
The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.
The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste - everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.
This extraordinary discovery is reported in the journal Science.
It is proof, say researchers, of our early ancestors' complexity of thought.
"This is significant because it is pushing back the boundaries of our understanding of when Homo sapiens - people like us - first became modern," said Prof Christopher Henshilwood from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.
"These finds indicate that humans were certainly thinking in a modern way, in a way that is cognitively advanced, at least 100,000 years ago," he told BBC News.
....The finds include abalone shells with ochre residues inside. There are tools made of quartzite that were presumably employed to hammer and grind ochre into a powder in the shells. And there is evidence that charcoal and oil from seal bones were being added to the mix. It seems bone implements were also being used to turn and lift the paint pastes.
The mere fact though that paints are being manufactured in a systematic way is indicative of a level of advanced thinking.
It would have required a high degree of planning to bring together all of the elements of the kits; and if art really was the purpose, it suggests the cave dwellers of Blombos were capable of symbolic thought - the ability to let one thing represent another in the mind.
provide evidence they took it to the rest if the world. In ancient Africa those that had technology like this were in secret associations the knowledge was not share with the rest of the community and even nearby tribes. So you want us to believe people in igbo, yoruba or edo land exported the technology to asia and Europe. 🤣
They have made their decision anything they are facing is not of your business. Face your own life na The countries that have developed in our lifetime like the arabs, Singapore, libya Chinese have all developed with the actions of their leaders. Arabs dont even have the skills to develop a country but they rely on foreign skills.
With the kind of leaders we have in Nigeria and the fools that vote based of religion and tribe. How will Nigeria develop Those people in Uk are still enjoying constant electricity, cheap food, standard education for their kids etc.
lastkingsman: My brother, leave these people that always blame Nigerians. Do you know what it takes to leave your comfort zone, friends and family and Japa to another country?
Who be dey reason Japa and staying permanent in UK before?
Before Oct 14th 2014, one dollar was trading at 165$ (BM). APC came with the threat that if they didn't win, they would run an parallel govt and other useless threats that charged the atmosphere. Investors and businesses started buying dollars to hedge because of this and this drove the price from 165$ to 200$ (BM).
Evil APC on seeing this development started singing 1$ = 1NGN gibberish and some people actually believe this jingo.
They won the election and fast forward yesterday, I bought dollar for 920$. That's from 165$ to 920$ (82% depreciation of your currency in 8yrs).
How do we survive this?
one thing about those people is that they also tried to japa and failed hence the hate. If you check the old posts of some of them 🤣.

i get am before no be property. When the europeans came to colonise and trade did we have guns or ships that the white man have Make una rest. People are conquering space today you are talking about iron smelting
We have good farm lands for farming and rain at the right season.
Can somebody tell me why farming is not prioritized in Nigeria?
cheaper to import. Cost of loans in other countries is not 20%, good road and rail networks in other countries, fulani and bandits no dey. Lack of mechanised farming
colbycell: If they're not corrupt, quota systems means when you attain the set quota you stop selling whatever it is your products are and attend to what you already have. Why collect money when you know you're not going to issue Visas...more like bet9ja if you ask me.
no one was forced to apply. The countries self need to make money to cover expenses and salaries 😅
These countries have quota. If they make it easy thousands or millions of people will try to japa. Unfortunately many with right intentions will be caught up in the rejections and mess.
Violetdaisy: Thank you for the reply. From the link,I see Nigeria has a treaty with Canada. Does this mean one only needs to fill out the gross income earned in naija and won't be required to pay any Provincial or federal tax?
once you have paid taxes in Nigeria you won’t have to pay taxes in Canada on same income. Just declare your foreign gross income.
Majority of them sold their houses and landed properties.
Others left high paying jobs for the mirage of the UK
SMH
some were victims of kidnapping, banditry and other crimes in Nigeria. Some had thriving businesses that Buhari policies killed. Some people just wanted a decent working environment. Some were scared of their children future. Can you blame them
sammyonal: HAhahaha, Boss u dey really catch this people by the Pam, make e de-activate him account make we rest abeg.
do you know how many gullible people for don DM the guy He will use their money run experiment with those businesses or chop their money. We sabi them wella
