Can you manufacture pikin? Some of these things are beyond mathematical knowledge and all the talk about AI are overrated in some areas, there are still gaps that can be explored so it’s not cast in stone. The world always seems to balance out itself despite all the wild postulations.

You're correct about water always finding it's level. However if not properly controlled, water would force its way through the wrong places. In essence, man must follow the natural order otherwise the devastation that follows if nature takes over is always unbearable.

Well, young people of today in developed countries should brace their minds not to receive a pension when they are in retirement.


Largely in the south. The birth rate in the north is way higher.
https ://www. economist. com/middle-east-and-africa/2024/11/07/why-the-fertility-gap-between-north-and-south-nigeria-matters

It is not any high cost of living. People these days want to get everything at once - enjoy their lives, travel here and there, eat here and there, buy this and that, target this promotion and that, achieve this milestone and that, alongside bearing children. I am an advocate of fewer children since I am a Nigerian, but for the developed world, they have to choose a struggle. They cannot enjoy those material aspects of life and still expect an increase in the birth rate.

Anyway, I don't see birth rates increasing as the birth control and education, which later translates to money, are firmly in the hands of modern day women. They have tasted economic and reproductive freedom, they wouldn't let go of them. So, the government should heavily tax those who refuse to marry and born pikins.

You've made very salient points here, but as others have said, any politician who tries to implement them ain't lasting his/her tenure.

There's a natural order which God laid down for man to follow in Ephesians 5:22-6:4 however that order has almost been fully turned on its head. Until we go back to the natural order, the entropy would only keep increasing.

Marriage is for procreation, Genesis 1:28, before pleasure, 1 Corinthians 7:3-5. God will help us.

Zahra29:
Please also include West Indians, Pakistanis, Indians, Sri Lankas, Bangladeshis, Burmese/Myanmars, Hong Kong, Singaporeans and others

Well, I'm still reading so I can't fully comment on if these people mentioned above should be included. However I don't think the transatlantic slave trade included Asia, infact the Muslims (Pakistani and the likes) believed in enslaving non - Muslims who didn't convert to Islam (that's a different topic entirely.) My focus is on the dark skinned man (denoted as black) from Africa who was forcefully taken by the invading Europeans to America and Europe to develop their economy. At the end of slavery, the focus shifted from trafficking humans to outright looting of natural resources which was used to develop Europe especially. Migration is never going to end and these people MUST learn to deal with that. They started it.

They have more than enough white men/women for party leader but that is not the point, the inclusion of ethnic minority as party leader for a party like Reform is for a reason, They need a colourful exterior just to win more votes from non-white communities

Zia was very naive or ignorant to think that joining Reform will bring any change. The bedrock of Reform political party is ..Make Britain White Again

I've been reading more about slavery recently (focusing on enclopedia brittanica) and the knowledge gained has significantly changed my views on how to apportion the blames for slavery. In the past, I always blamed African tribal leaders more for enslaving their own people and selling them off to the invaders however the impact of slavery on the development of the western economy cannot be overemphasized. The west MUST accept and live with blacks, racists MUST be punished at all times. In essence, Britain or wherever CANNOT be white again. These people plundered Africa so much, they MUST accommodate Africans.

Is it time to activate Japa/relocation 2.0? Which countries give family visas at this time? Please o

ReesheesuKnack:
Do you recall 2-tier Kier’s ‘Youth Mobility’ visa scheme? Where youngsters from EUROPE will come to the UK?

I think those will fill the healthcare vacancies.

If this is indeed the plan, then the whole outcry is all about racism. More like "people who look like us" as against people who look totally different. Yeah.

AKALAMAGBO:
I assume this is one of the scariest moment living in UK.

Professionals on skilled worker visa have been thrown in limbo… At the end of the day, no place like home as they say.

You could wake up tomorrow and be told to leave the country, but that wouldn’t happen if you are in your home country.

Thats why I always preach about investing back home.

Interesting times ahead.

For me, the key take away is that relocation/Japa should be seen as a means to an end and never an end in itself. I'll say Nigerians (especially those without settled status) in the UK should be interested in politics back home, who rules, who wins elections etc because there's indeed no place like home. I'll say Nigerians in the UK should save save and save/invest for the rainy day, keep developing yourselves and earning transferrable skills/degrees, live a modest life and approach mortgages with caution. No place like home.

AgentXxx:
Opay, Palmpay and Kuda.

Be careful with Opay though, I had a serious issue with them last year. My account was frozen for receiving an inflow of 12M... They kept requesting for documentation to verify that amount before they eventually unfroze my account. I had to even send pay slip at a point. If the experience with others like moniepoint, palmpay and kuda are better, let's know. Especially running them from outside Nigeria. Thanks.

Fubara should do the needful, use the public sympathy well, use the state resources well, use the immunity well. Get the chief judge in his corner, then let's watch the impeachment film. Wike and Tiffnubu are tin gods, they'll be shamed.

ehizario2012:
Thank you.

That's about 6m for transport and clearing.

I should be able to get a Corolla for 8m on ground in Nigeria.

oliverjiad:
each would cost you #2.6m,#2.5m

Jaid

Thank you.

That's about 6m for transport and clearing.

oliverjiad:
I can say shipping line can cost u £1,600,clearing depends on what ure clearing and the year

2008 Ford focus. Corolla hatchback 2006. Both right handed UK standard.

Hi. Please can I get the cost of shipping a car from England to Nigeria? All costs from England here to final clearing in Lagos or anywhere in SW. 2008 Ford focus.

Hello friends, please I need to send a package from Ibadan to Sheffield/Rotherham. Just about 3kg. Any links please? I know this has been discussed here previously but I'm unable to search out that page. Thanks all.

Goke7:
The care workers are the main target, they just want to ensure that cohort and others who came in then never gets ilr.

Is this limited to care workers?

jedisco:
Our Anchor baby speaks again. Appears she's in need of redemption- thowing everything at the wall to see what sticks. I had spoken in respect of her attributes but it appears she is more interested in digging holes
With the way Starmer has been dressing her up and how her party is polling, its seems like it's only a matter of time before her peers demand her head.


The Conservatives say the period before someone can apply for ILR should be extended from five to 10 years and people should then have to wait a further five years before seeking citizenship.

The party wants the government to adopt the changes, backdated to 2021, by amending its Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill due to be debated in Parliament next week.

This is a typical Nigerian. What a pity. Enter and close the door to others. God nor go shame us.

missjekyll:
In 2015 ,the International Olympic Committee produced a guideline which required Testosterone to be below a certain level to compete in female sports.

That guideline has now changed . In 2021,it says hormone testing is medically unnecessary. Other tests can be used to determine if a particular transgender athlete has an unfair advantage over cis athletes.

At the Paris Olympics,they used a case by case criteria to allow competition. Not all Trans females won medals.

For years ,it's been taught that testosterone confers certain advantages in sports but that's not always the case.

I haven't read the cass review but must point out that the British Medical Association has taken a position against that report. It's as clear as mud at the minute.

Transgender?? 🤮

You're on suspension for said offences (which he denies).... Now he gets caught, with his pants down...... 🤣😂

Sincerely he deserves maximum punishment... This is simply disgusting. There's no other way to describe it.

Ivor Chaplin, former MP, paedophile. Busted attempting to meet a 15 year old boy. WTF!!!

Wheeeew, it has been a rubbish week ,I must say. This is welcome news

This looks good, the UK needs help.

rock86:
The laziness and pessimism is rubbing off on me even. I have started complaining about little things. I think it's a culture thing for people here to complain and act "unambitious"..

Then as for Nigerians having my back, no, I actively avoid them now. If possible I wil avoid myself too. I've seen enough Shege and bad belle from them cos how can you be 30years in this country and be threatened by my existence, when I haven't even spent 6 months? The attitude is scary AF, I am well received by others from other countries so I better stay away and interact from afar

STFU!!!

Cyberknight:
Let it go. EAs are vultures anyway, and £100 is a good price to save your time and energy for the back and forth with them. The landlord very likely wont go to small claims unless the damage is massive (which you say it isn't), but I'm assuming you'd want a reference, and if so that's a small price to pay. Otherwise, up to you.

On this issue of reference, my current landlord/agent never contacted my last agent/landlord. Although they requested for their details, I asked the former agent but he said no contact. Probably the new agent was satisfied with my bank statement...?

Lexusgs430:
If you inform VM, you're not renewing your contract..... They might offer you a much better deal........

Try EE, they seem to have good deals......

I'll need to renew soon too. Currently on Sky... But I've noticed their network isn't so strong in the farthest room upstairs. Any suggestions on a stronger provider?

wonlasewonimi:
More like ipob to attack ronu people ..Tribalists people

Lol. Ipob and ronu... Glad you didn't use obidients in place of ipob. I'm waiting for the Hausa Fulani youth wing to join... Then they'll finally end the expired Nigeria and all can live in peace.

rock86:
My PIN is out and I'm on Band 6. That's what was stated on my Cos, Band 4 pre OSCE, Band 6 after passing OSCE. Many people especially Nigerians in my work place are angry about it here but I press their necks daily.

I was starting to shift ground and believe this moniker was a little genuine, but comments like this have cleared all doubts and reverted to status quo. Smh

Kingkom:
Hi all, please I have a situation. My friend is due to make PSW application but she has money only for she and her husband. They have 2 kids here in the UK and for now they don't want to include them in the initial application due to lack of funds.
Please I need advise.

Your friend...

Goodenoch:
You haven't read the bills (both the Falconer one and the Leadbeater one that passed) or the reports around them.

Here's the report - https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-10123/CBP-10123.pdf

If you read it, you'll see that the bills were written specifically to address the issues you've raised. There's no mention of suffering in the bill that passed, and it specifically excludes mental illness and disability. It doesn't follow that because Netherlands and wherever else allow a different set of criteria, then the UK will automatically do the same eventually. Countries have very different rules on various similarly sensitive issues.

On Canada, again if you read the bill or the report you'll see that the flaw of ambiguity in the Canadian law was addressed directly by specifying a timeline and also mandating the consideration of alternatives by the reviewing doctors. This follows the model in some US states that has never been successfully challenged (and mandatorily expanded) in court.

And before you say that the ECtHR is more likely to expand it to prevent discrimination, the court has actually recently indicated (Daniel Karsai) that it recognizes the difference between systems based on suffering and terminal illness.

It's not a fallacy to consider that the UK might seek to do whatever, but it's a fallacy to make it seem as if an expansion is a certain or even likely consequence. And nobody ever said people shouldn't seek to prevent such expansions. Just as some people will be campaigning to expand it, those opposed should also campaign. Afterall, 'this is the UK' - home of democracy.

Similarly, the argument that it's 'open to abuse' is just false. The possibility of abuse exists in every law and policy, but the safeguards in the bill are demonstrably quite solid.

To be clear, I'm not saying there's no cause for concern with the bill or the practice.

There are areas I would like to see strenghtened - particularly about the right of clinicians to refuse to participate on the basis of their conscience. Ultimately though, it appears to me that most of the hand-wringing about the bill is by people who have objections based on their own morality (usually derived from religion) and are willing to deprive others of their agency to satisfy their own beliefs (Not saying this is you in particular).

Quick one, which category of doctors would be able to assess the patient and recommend assisted death?

Saccharine:
Palliative Care isn't even funded properly, same as everything in the NHS, but they've skipped that and moved straight to death pathway.Fund palliative care well first so that dying people do so in dignity..

For now it's terminal people given 6 months to live but in reality , there are other conditions where the pain and suffering is so great but death is far.. What then happens?

What of the pain and suffering of people with dementia or the pain and suffering of those with conditions that leave them trapped in their bodies and depending on others for round the clock care?

How about people with mental health conditions resistant to all treatment eg treatment resistant depression,what of their own suffering? Is their own suffering less because they have longer than 6 months?

Who is the arbiter of suffering? Who is the person that chooses what suffering is greater than another when people are so different?

It's just a matter of time before court cases come and the law is adjusted again like Canada had to do.
I don't envy those that have to make these decisions.

At this rate, Hitler deserves an apology from all those who opposed Aktion T4. Hitler was simply taking the utilitarian approach.

missjekyll:
I see this bill as a win for people who are terminally ill.

It's got a few kinks to be worked out but I am very happy we are having this conversation.
50% of us will be diagnosed with a cancer at a point in our lives. For people with incurable cancers who today live in terror of a painful death without dignity ,this national conversation will come as a relief.

What do you think? What changes would you like to see in this bill?

I've followed keenly since 9.30am this morning. It doesn't look like it's going to pass, there are too many grey areas. There'll be coercion, and the bill would be abused.

nlenq:
Yes you're right, I got one already. Thanks for your input.

Congratulations and it's nice you returned to give update.

Who is watching Diane Abbott speak? Madam don old o

Cyberknight:
Different strokes for different folks.
I don't think it will pass, but I really hope it does.
Life is all about quality, not necessarily quantity. In the absence of the former, I certainly would want the option to determine the latter.

Are you religious please? The world is moving away from capital punishment but moving towards assisted dying... It's the same principle - killing.
