I have this my friend, I don't know how he live his life. When he graduated, he doesn't share to people, dont even post it on WhatsApp status for people to rejoice with him. Now, he is currently doing nysc, nobody knows he is doing nysc. He doesn't post pictures. The stupid thing about him. He can post music videos or another thing on is Whatsapp status. I see this as selfishness. Why are some people like this. If you want to keep low profile, keep low profile with sense. At least let people know about some of your achievement, I'm not saying you should broadcast all your achievements, you don't where your helper may come from. May be through your WhatsApp contacts or social media

this is a foolish post. You are probably monitoring his life to use for comparison

Where did Akwa Ibom get money for the massive developments they have been doing since Akpabio time Why has Bayelsa and Delta not done same The problem of the ND are the ND themselves. Its the same issue every where in Nigeria the elites and politicians prefer to keep people poor

You lie. Our fore-fathers wetin them they chop?

our forefathers were trekking daily to farms and doing other physical activities so they we’re burning the sugar. Today we spend our time on laptops/computers , tv, phones and video games. Consuming these things without burning it. Imagine eating eba and adding 50 cl coke. Then you go and sleep. Slow killer

If you know you no

Show us sugar in eba , fufu, amala etc. na diabetes go kill this generation sha last last

Sorry

lack of opportunity morelike

In 2015 in a work whatsapp group i was called names by some of my colleagues when i said Buhari has no track record of success and not capable of performing. They abused hell out of me. Between 2018 and 2019 many of them ran to Canada and USA. I even met one babe at the ielts centre and we exchanged details. This babe was posting Buhari second term on social media. Apparently she was in one of the support groups. One day i challenged her , after we jammed again in one Canada group .she was like she is wetting the ground down for future appointments. I muted her posts since then . Some people are evil and heartless

Who is the major shareholder of dangote group Dangote himself. Make una rest

Some people are destined to be poor. Collect the money and ignore the man

Let's discuss as a family, those mistakes you made which you later regret and you wouldn't want your children to make.

Mine was going to the university without learning a skill and solely hoping to land a good paying job with the certificate after school. When "Nigeria" dawned on me, I realized I made a mistake by not fortifying myself with skills while going to school.

My children will not make such a mistake. If God approves, they will go into sports and entertainment from tender age.

Let's learn from each other.

chances of making it in sports and entertainment is slim in a place like Nigeria. in a country of more than 2m upcoming artists only 2 per year blow hahahahaha. Nigerian need to realise that you cant live the life you missed through your children. let them be, they will learn life themselves only give them guidance.

yet they have the audacity to call men ugly

Like around what year did all this happen?

1800s to 1840s. The junkuns and tivs resisted them

The jihadists were stopped by middle belt’s people and also yorubas at oshobo. The religion never got to igbo land.

Why not go to brothel Oloribu

see the penking guy that made the tweet. Take a second look at that tweet and tell me if this penking gangan himself is given a microphone he will not say even worse. Just look at the choice of words he used, and tell me that he sef no be weree pass Tiamiyu sef. It is well.

”yoruba man from Osun state”. Just look at blatant tribalism. The decision to ban dependents had already been decided before this interview. This influencing / content creation craze dey make people do stupid things

Although this is true sometimes its not the case for majority. The Nigerians in the USA and Canada usually help fellow Nigerians with job info, referrals and other help.

There are also some people who have helped others that got burnt too. There are cases of people helping others to get jobs in a company and the person tried to get them sacked or stabbed them at the back. There are people who housed new immigrants and the person used their address for yahoo( receiving stolen good or credit cards). I know one personally where a guy housed someone, 3 months later baba still never get job. The host was like you may have to start with hustle job which the guy considered an insult. Host was like I started with those jobs . So you want to be consuming my electricity, gas, water etc while refusing to work. Some of these so called people we are tagging wicked people are simply reacting to past experiences o.

According to reports online, this Nigerian youtuber named Emdee Tiamiyu granted the BBC, a recent interview that made the UK govt ban Nigerian students from bringing their families over to the UK once they gain a UK university admission except PhD

the decision was made by the uk before this interview. He is not the reason for the ban

He messed up. But the UK home had already made their decision before his interview

ikemummy:
Hi everyone,

My spouse and I are applying for PR, is there any particular wedding picture (e.g the one showing when we were signing the marriage cert) we have to attach as proof of marriage?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

your proof of marriage is marriage certificate. Picture of you signing is irrelevant and could have been photoshopped .

All these band wagon appraisals, abeg!

1. How would the crude be transported from point of drill to the refinery and in consideration of the plausible congestion already in Lagos?

2. What sort of regulations would be put in place to see that Dangote Refinery doesn't exploit her end users?

3. Would govt discontinue the subsidy payment given Dangote Ref would be able to supply more than the daily required fuel consumption by Nigerians?

4. How much is Govt stake in this supposed private entity?

5. What alternative plans would the nation have so we don't get over reliant on this sole refinery especially that it's run on a single train?

question 1 it will be transported via oil tanker. The refinery is close to the sea and has its own sea terminal for taking crude ans also exporting petrol and other products

International students who come to the UK will no longer be able to bring family with them except under specific circumstances in a government bid to bring immigration down.

International students will no longer be able to bring dependants with them unless they are on postgraduate courses that are currently designated as research programmes.

The package will also remove the ability for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed "to prevent misuse of the visa system", the government said.

As well as removing this right, there will also be a review of the maintenance requirement for students and dependents and a crackdown on "unscrupulous" education agents "who make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration, not education".

The changes will come into effect for students starting their courses from January 2024 in order to allow future international students time to plan ahead.

In the year ending December 2022, 486,000 student visas were issued to applicants - up from 269,000 in 2019.

Last year, the number of student visas issued to dependants stood at 136,000 - an eightfold increase from 2019, when 16,000 were provided.

In a written ministerial statement, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said recent immigration figures had shown an "unexpected rise" in the number of dependants coming to the UK alongside international students.

Ms Braverman said the increase was made after the government made its commitment to lower net migration

The 2019, when net migration stood at 226,000, the Conservative manifesto committed to making sure "overall numbers come down".

Ms Braverman said that while the government's strategy around international education "plays an important part in supporting the economy", it should "not be at the expense of our commitment to the public to lower overall migration".

"This package strikes the right balance between acting decisively on tackling net migration and protecting the economic benefits that students can bring to the UK," she said.

"Now is the time for us to make these changes to ensure an impact on net migration as soon as possible. We expect this package to have a tangible impact on net migration. Taken together with the easing of temporary factors, we expect net migration to fall to pre-pandemic levels in the medium term."

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said attracting top students "isn't just good for our universities - it's essential for our economy and building vital global relationships".

"But the number of family members being brought to the UK by students has risen significantly," she added.

"It is right we are taking action to reduce this number while maintaining commitment to our international education strategy, which continues to enrich the UK's education sector and make a significant contribution to the wider economy."

The announcement comes as government comes under mounting pressure over migration figures - an issue that has reportedly caused splits in the cabinet.

Official statistics due to be published later this week are expected to show that net migration has increased from 504,000 in the 12 months to June 2022 to more than 700,000 in the year to December.

Ms Braverman recently made a speech at the National Conservatism conference in which she said the UK needed to "get overall immigration numbers down", adding: "We mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves."

But Ms Braverman is reported to have faced pushback in recent weeks from some Cabinet colleagues, including Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and Ms Keegan, who are said to have been appealing for more visas for students and workers in certain sectors to boost economic growth and continue to plug the gaps left in the labour market.

The home secretary is also coming under increasing pressure personally over claims she asked civil servants to arrange a private awareness course after she was caught speeding last year - a move critics claim could amount to a breach of the ministerial code.

Raising an urgent question in the House of Commons, Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner said there were "serious questions to answer" regarding Ms Braverman, adding: "How many strikes before she's out?"

What has Suella Braverman allegedly done wrong?

Jeremy Quin, paymaster general and minister for the Cabinet Office, said the prime minister was the "ultimate judge" of the standards expected of a minister - and the "appropriate consequences of a breach of those standards".

He said Mr Sunak "made clear to the House yesterday that he is receiving information on the issues raised" in regards to Ms Braverman.

Responding the government's announcement, Jamie Arrowsmith, director of Universities UK International, said the changes were likely to have a "disproportionate impact on women and students from certain countries".

"We therefore urge the government to work with the sector to limit and monitor the impact on particular groups of students - and on universities, which are already under serious financial pressures."

And Tim Bradshaw, the chief executive of the Russell Group of universities, said he was concerned the new rules could have a "negative impact" on universities' plans to diversify their student intakes.

"Global competition for international students is fierce and some of the announcements made today are likely to have a negative impact on universities' plans to diversify their international student intakes," he said.

"However, we welcome the government's recommitment to the graduate route and that students coming to study on postgraduate research programmes will still be able to bring dependants."
