Just imagine, please God may we not fall into a situation where we can no longer take care of our own KIDS

Galactico4ever:
So much insult.I wonder who brought you up.

DrFunmisticGlow:
exactly.

How much does the average western citizen spend on college education?

The 'free' education we seemingly get from nigeria cannot hold a candle to what they get in Ghana, not to talk of abroad.

Thank God for the Internet, at least one can update themselves with up to date materials, during my time at Esut, we had nothing like that, even some of the handouts are not even clear to read.No investment on the part of our govt

DrFunmisticGlow:
what is the national budget for education?

Don't even start o n that, its heart braking.

charleymed:
Nigeria is the best place to study medicine right now. You get free education, travel abroad and are paid the same wages with people that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for their medical education. This is just so sweet.

Exactly, you are not far from the truth,U can even sit in your box room in Lagos and apply for a job via an agency in the UK

BOOOMNAIJA:
When I was growing up, if my Dad rejected food, my mother will invite my father's relation to beg him before he eats. I tried it yesterday and up till now my wife has not called my people and I have not eaten. Should I eat or I should wait until she invites them to come and beg me. I need your advice cos it appears I am even having trouble seeing objects...the hunger dey wire me big time. Is this Twitter or nairaland abeg?

Its WAssaaaaaap

thiagoteres:
I posted a link to the news. I have colleagues who initially paid for health surcharge (not free visa extension o) for training position due to start in August that have been refunded. I used that analogy for the current discourse because I couldn't find any link to the scrapped health surcharge also on the government website. Does that then make it false?
The initial attached screenshot was an earlier mail sent to someone that eventually got electronic visa waiver to start work during this lockdown.
VACs would be opening up soon anyway ,so that process may no longer be applicable.

I do not think VAcs will open anytime soon,they might even shut down again the way things are going!

baby124:
Why? You need visa?

it is well wiv U, I have passed needing a UK visa a long time ago as U can see.

baby124:
Who told you that? No place will give you job just like that except Nigeria. You have to get work documents and go through a recognized residency program. They can only use the ones sneaking out as slaves. In the frontline of Covid which most of them won’t survive.

Do you live in the UK right about now?
For long Doctors have remained the #1 on the UK shortage list There is a desire for Nigerian doctors here in the UK, U hardly see doctors from other African countries here, One sure part of our educational status that we still maintain is the medical sector in our Universities. Even when nurses were banned from coming to the Uk to work the Uk opened the door for doctors!

baby124:
Some Nigerians are stupid sha. How do you sell yourself so cheap? You go there without visa, they use you and pay whatever then dump or deport you after Covid is over for not coming through the right channels. Then you will come on NL after creating 100 usernames to cry out for help back to Nigeria. Giving some hellish stories. Doctors wey no get sense.

Doctors never get deported from the Uk, they get a job automatically.

Golan007:
Don't be stupid.

No immigration officer would let you travel without valid paperwork.

UK Visas are not issued on arrival.

They might have some sort of dispensation to which we aint privy to cos I find it strange for tehm to travel without legal docs when infact they can just go there with a job waiting!

still on it

FrLukas:
Lol.

You are funny.

I am sure you are a cobbler in a backwater neighbourhood somewhere in Aba.

But it's cool to dream big.

Btw, the entire post wasn't meant for you.

Just the first 3 or 4 lines.

The rest is beyond your comprehension.

Exactly my thought, when you lot have no meaningful argument you label a person IGBO, that's how shallow you lots are in Nigeria hence you sell your vote for N1k. You are there defending APC/PDP why the so-called politicians send their family to enjoy life with us in England,kontinue

[q[s]uote author=FrLukas post=91566750]


I think it's better for you to converse with your 14 year old. I'm sure you have a lot in common with the teen child. Your post places your thinking within that age range.


Maturity isn't age and age isn't maturity after all.


So, yeah go right ahead and huddle with your 14 y/o and talk about girlfriends and prom.


The following isn't meant for you.


Only intelligent people understand that the present situation of Nigeria today is the sum of all the bad decisions made by previous leaders.


If Obasanjo had strengthened democratic institutions in Nigeria, people like Buhari wouldn't be president today.


If PDP had busied itself with strengthening the democratic process from the start, people like Jonathan would never have access to government office and public finances.


So, where Nigeria is today isn't only the doing of Buhari and his cabal, but a sum total of the misrule we've had since Independence.


What makes it even worse is that when the reset button was pushed on Nigeria in 1999 and we had an opportunity to start all over, we still missed that opportunity.


It's not difficult to understand but the 14-year olds who are stuck in the bodies of grown men will be asking silly questions such as, "why are you still blaming Jonathan..."


I wonder what people like that will teach their 14 year olds about equity, accountability and justice.


I pity such 14 year olds for having that kind of parent.
[/s]

They eventually grow up to think it's okay to steal as long as you're not caught.[/quote]And you bother to write such long epistle for my two lines, You are SAD and pathetic wishing that o na kid, FYI the 14 is going to oxford direct as we speak unlike urs who is going to end up at backyard grammar school due to ur inability to upgrade and think straight now Foxtrot Oscar!

FrLukas:

It's difficult having a conversation with people who have your kind of mindset.

I try to avoid responding to posts like yours.

I'll say this in the simplest English sentences as I can manage so y'all will understand.

1. That the present day government is corrupt does not wipe away Jonathan's misdeeds in governance.

2. This thread is about Ngozi Okonjo Iweala who served as the coordinating minister of the economy during Jonathan's era. Throwing in Buhari and other present day actors to draw attention away from what we are talking about is decidedly anal. Open a thread on Buhari and we'll talk about his own misdeeds.

If you don't understand those two points well enough desist from quoting me, I use God to beg you.

[/[/s]s][/s]
you lots are waste of time and space, 2020 still calling Jonathan. why don't we go back to tafawa balewa!
Instead of you to pay attention to what's on the ground and how there have been no meaningful improvements like security and power you are here chatting shyte.PS U dnt need reply as I will have a better conversation with my 14 yr old than I will with yourself

seanwilliam:
you are hypocrite.. why did you parry answering the paying in dollar part..

I serioisly do not know what is wrong with yah lot.Look I have been to work in Nigeria B4 for 6 months and demanded I get paid in Pounds,what's wrong with that? she was invited to come work in Nigeria from her base abroad and you want her to be paid in Naira realy?

Bbbwings:
I just find it unbelievable that she couldn't afford a pr.

How much max do you think this so-called Pr might cost her?

FrLukas:
I'd rather return to UK than continue to aid and abet looters in government.

That's the honourable way to go.

For 6 years, madam puff puff cheeks collected her salary in dollars just to watch the economy plunged into the ground by Jonathan and his miscreants.

What's the purpose of paying her that much then?

aha, The funny thing is, he is not Richer than the FG of the day or the governor of your state. The chief of Army staff has a house in the UAE and he claimed he saved enough money to buy it. You guys keep masturbating on the mention of GEJ, His era has passed concentrate on the new FG and checkmate them on ways they can make any meaningful contribution to an already deadly situation. He is approaching the 8 year period and nothing to show for it so far not even recovered loots as acclaimed.let me further go, I'm hoping APC go on for the next 16 years after that we will see what next yah lot will compare to. this APC/PMB issue yah lot keep flinging into political arguments is boring ain't yah lot tired and fed up of it? it's 2020 for crying out loud and nothing to show for it. as we speak the pounds is £550. Our external debt has skyrocketed and our external reserve is at an all-time low.

ManOfCompetence:
I hope he carries out his duties diligently.... Recovering looted funds from past administrations and fishing out criminals in this present administration should be carried out....

In Nigeria? that will never happen, the one recovered we hear the end of it?Until ordinary people say no to corruption, we are o n a colussion headings!

colonelwealth:
Pls my guy ignore mischievous people. dem go tire.

Im trying joor.

lmm4real:
Lol honestly I had to complain o, its my money I was spending not like I was asking any one to come and volunteer their #50. What ever happens to that stamp duty money, they don't seem to charge it again.

Stil being paid, evrytime I check, there is an Email N50 stamp duty,9ja is a huge Joke at times.

FrLukas:
You are quite naive.

If she is "an epitome of financial industries" (whatever that means) like you claim, why is she begging for pro Bono from people?

A finance minister and coordinating minister for the economy who was paid in dollars, yet watched on as Jonathan and his merry band of looters almost emptied the treasury.

What praise is she looking for?

Barely 6 months after she left office, the economy she was coordinating slid into recession and dollars became scarce.

Please don't get me started.

plz, start let's see what intelligent arguments you have. Look at what happened to the other UK citizen that was our finance minister? did you not see how politicians used her office as an embezzlement sports car? when she put her foot down what happened? blackmailing and threat. hence she absconded back to the UK. Corruption in Nigeria starts with you.

mastermaestro:
Shut up and read with your senses awake, not asleep. Go back and understand what that dude wrote. Your response is emotional and off point! He did not criticise her. He only stated the simple fact that she is a liar for claiming that she cannot afford a PR campaign.

KIDS evrywhere, bring up a good argument not crying your heart out,I think you have much more serious problem like bad roads and Electricity than to be killing urself here!

dominique:
It cost a lot but certainly not up to $5m or $3m you quoted on your posts. Even American based companies won't be able to afford such advert rates. How many brands or businesses are even worth up to $5m that they will now use such huge amount to promote?

it actually cost more than that, way more than that,I use to work for a company In Greenford West london ,the build the internals of fighter jets and nimroid systems,to advertise than on CNN for 30 secs was $1,2m this was 2002.She would be advertising globally across all continent, it won't be local content as per the $7k someone upstairs was quoting

lmm4real:
You are not a serious person.

Coming from you who is complaining of a N50 stamp duty at a petrol pump

NoIgboSoundTueh:
You're saying bullsheet
Assuming she did not embezzle money during GEJ maladministration which is even less likely.
A woman that served as minister under obj and then gej with numerous international appointments is not able to afford a PR firm.
This stunt is a 419 attempt at robbing people off their time and resources
She's indeed PDP and an Igbo woman!

Just so you know Im not PDP/AP|C or igbo,I'm just stating the obvious of which you are oblivious of, try and see what it will cost to run a PR of such magnitude for at least two weeks, mayB you are thinking £10m here

listowell:
If she no fit run for the post, Mak she go sit down.

weak argument, I asked you to do your research b4 U start looking uniteligent!

SmartPolician:
Huncle, go rest

NOI knows it's 50/50 kinda opportunity

She doesn't want to spend money

She has worked in some of the best organizations in the world

So, she can afford to pay PR

It think she's too qualified for anyone who will want to challenge her

That's why she is not ready to spend money

Let me test your young brain, how much do you think it will cost to run P\r of such magnitude for 1 day?

dominique:
A whole former finance minister and board member of world bank. Was she donating her salaries to charity?

Please do your research and see how much it cost to do a 30sec advert on a platform like CNN, Euronews etc then come bck

oz4real83:
u need to read my comment again and this time read it slowly. I said PMB said he was too poor to buy presidential form and had to take loan but his children were studying abroad, I never mentioned NOI's children.

You are still clueless, the PR firm i n question to such world publication will charge nothing less than $5m for 30 seconds ad and you recon that is cheap right?

freenature:
if ordinary CNN charges $3m for 30sec ad , dude do you have an idea how much it will cost to hire a PR Firm to contest an international position as such?

They have got no clue, they think she asking for help with N10m

tamdun:
Yea, Alison madueke too no be politician

THis when you talk of stuff you know nothing about, what do you know about the Ex-director of SHELL?
