It's expected. The market is already saturated.
Even local restaurants are branding their 2x2 shops to make it look better.
Things are hard already,so people prefer to buy cheaper.

They should concentrate more on the e-commerce.

And it's expected for other businesses to close also? Business environment not friedly

ibinaboonline:
Oh, okay. I'm even happy to hear I can just enter a bus from Lagos and travel to Cotonou.

We are ECOWAS. Just get your Nigerian passport that's all you need

ibinaboonline:
You flew from Nigeria to Cotonou? I've been searching online for Nigeria-Cotonou flight tickets without success.

No... GUO to Cotonou.
You need to travel to Lagos first.

shadrach77:

Public buses? Are you sure? I know trains do have fewer WiFi but public buses? In which city is that?

Yes public buses do have WiFi. Almost all buses from London Heathrow airport to other destinations have WiFi... Next time on your WiFi and search.
Here I am buses going to the next city has WiFi. Yesterday I went to the next town about 45 minutes and it was WiFi free.

BigCowHornn:



Zenith bank


They intentionally block it

What about GTBank

Not only airport, banks, schools and even public buses need free WiFi.

Here in UK banks have free WiFi, school have free WiFi and also public buses. There are houses you rent you get free WiFi.
I once travelled through contonou airport, they offer 1 hour browsing, while instabul turkey.. Gives 2 hours I guess.

Our banks should do better in Nigeria.. There are banks you enter in Nigeria, you won't be able to browse.. They intentionally make network not available in banks for customers..

jimcaddy:
Nigeria is a messed up country. The day I read that foreign graduate doctors failed the Medical and Dental Council examinations. And I'm like, how possible is that?

Yes most foreign school masters don't write close book exams. You just do ur assignments at home n submit.

That is why she passed excellently.

jimcaddy:
So we shall all conclude that the educational standard in the UK is poor and easy to pass, while the Nigerian standard is of the "highest quality, and very difficult to pass" what an irony. Nigeria is simply a system built and designed to make you feel like a failure in life. Nothing is encouraging in this Nigeria. Cuz I can't explain why and how a third class graduate manages to do a Masters abroad and come out in flying colours. Make it make sense please

Not soo... They conduct open book exams or rather assignments as assessments.

In Nigeria you got to read n prove questions via closed book exams

misreal:
Yeah.
That is the sadistic nature of Nigerian universities.

Most of this school don't offer closed hook examinations in UK... Just assignments only

There is no hardship anywhere.. If we hear pump for ur mouth..... APC

Kobojunkie:
1. In much the same way that having perfect knowledge and understanding of life and consequences can't keep one person from committing murder, so also, the choice I make isn't based on understanding but on my conscience as a human being.

2. Again with this rubbish! It is for this reason that I am glad I found the research carried out with a sample of 200 well-educated Bayero college students for you earlier. You claim someone with little Western education would make the opposite choice out of ignorance, yet what the research showed is that even those who had already been given lots of Western education equations made the same choice.

3. The assumption makes no sense whatsoever.

4. So, what you are desperately trying to make us believe is that in the case where couples decide to continue trying their luck for a healthy child, even after being informed— something that seems the likely case with OP's parents as well as the story from the NewYork Times link — you wish for us to blame ignorance instead?

No the research conclude that they hardly carry out pre sex genotype. People enter into relationships without asking what's each other genotype and children where produce.

For that of the new York Times I didn't read it. It's subscription based.. I will change my IP to Nigeria n leta and go through it

Kobojunkie:
How can I sound angry when I am typing words with my fingers?

If I desire to have children, of course, I would turn down the marriage proposal. Commonsense would turn down the proposal majorly because of the risk of having SS children.

Yes. because you understand and because you have perfect knowledge about the outcome and because you understand probability. More also because you understand your financial situation as at today.

Someone like Dangote might not answer the way you respond... Why because he can afford to send the wife abroad, or follow strict medical rout to ensure that all children are born free.

Some one with little or western education wont even border to pounder on the outcome... This is where ignorance lies.

Someon might understand the risk involved and still go ahead betting on luck.

Why I assumed it's ignorance, was that they never divorced or go their separate ways but kept on their marital vows up to this moment despite the pain.

There was a case someone posted here on nairaland where they got married and first child was SS and they didn't know they where treating malaria now and then, until the doctors told the man to run a genotype on the baby.. That was when they found out and at that point, madam was also heavy and lastly the baby came out SS.
So the man was filling for a separation.
Probably the lab they went did an error or the wife wanted to get married at all cost bringing up a fake result.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop telling ridiculous tales abeg!

The Newyork Times link I had posted earlier was to a story of a man in the same Kano who though poor had access to hospitals yet had 4 SS kids. The family had lost 2 girls already to the sickness.
3 children all died from the illness. Yet they went on to have a 4th child who turned 9 in 2021 and was also SS — she was born in 2012 some years after the 3rd child had passed away of the same problem. And you want me to believe this family is ignorant of SCD? Come on!

You sounding angry. Calm down a little.

Lets assume you are AS will you marry a partner who is AS? And why will you refused or turn down the marriage proposal

Kobojunkie:
Oh, now you want to make an issue of where the study was conducted, abi? Are the colleges mentioned not found in northern Nigeria where you pretend only those ravaged by poverty are ignorant?

I asked again where was the people responding are from? They are from the citerdel of learning and a prestigious university at that matter. And most are youths who are born in 2000s.

To get a true picture to fit into the entire northern Nigeria and to know whether there is significant relationship between ignorance, education, age, etc on the endogenous variable then they should move to the villages

Or rather run a RCT

Draw a sample from the city and draw a sample from the village... Run a randomised control trials To understand the causel effect. That's the only way to know whether ignorance (lack of education), poverty has a significant effect or not

Kobojunkie:
Now I am certain you are just trying to argue for the sake of argument.

The passage I quoted from the study of 200 college students revealed that they were mostly knowledgeable about SCD, cause, and prevention. However, when it came to whether or not to get pre-marital testing done, the majority of them outright rejected the idea meaning ignorance had nothing to do with it but rather their blatant arrogance towards knowledge.

Yet you continue to insist ignorance and poverty are to blame. It seems your mission here is to distort the facts for reasons best known to you so I will leave you to it.

Where was the research conducted? bayero university Kano environment Right? they recruited people from this university and gave them questionnaires to fill.. what do you expect? This are universities undergraduate who are well informed of the disease.
But I am talking about people living in the villages with no access to formal education etc

Kobojunkie:
Please stop already and visit reality!

Read the following article and you will find that what you continue to describe is nowhere near the problem. Many are aware of the problem but choose to go on having kids anyway. That is more the case than not. Sickle Cell Nigeria

Here's a similar conclusion from a report that was compiled in 2016 on research done on college students in at least one of the northern states.
Ignorance ceased to be the issue beginning as far back as the 80s. It is the human arrogance that is the problem.

What did you understand from that you posted? I didn't border going through the link you provided? because it was subscription. Asking me to pay 5 pounds before I access the article.

But I pick a line from your quote
majority of people did not know their genotype

From your quote. This shows or point to what I was saying... People just go on having kids without knowing their genotype. Which comes to ignorance and poverty.

More also the respondant are from a bayero university Kano, which made the mean age to be 25 years (23 to 27). It will be bias to use this as a basis to judge the entire population because they did not cover much data from where the problem seems to be coming from 40 to 70.

You should expect high awareness in bayero university Kano environment or in the city.. To truly understand what I am saying. Go into the villages and see for your self. You will find out that they cared less why because they don't seems to understand much about the illness.


The mean age of the respondents is 25 years (range 23-27). Majority (92%) of the respondents have a good knowledge on sickle cell disease with a score ≥ 60. However, the practice of premarital genotype screening among respondents was significantly lacking (P < 0.05), which was irrespective of their marital status. The study concludes that despite the good knowledge of SCD among participants, it did not affect the practice of premarital screening. It is thus recommended that religious and community leaders should be sensitized on the importance of educating their members and to include premarital genotype screening result as a criterion before marriage.

You will hardly find this problem in the western world among black population. The same thing is happening in aids/HIV where it is prevailance in sub-saharan Africa where 67% of 38.4 million are living with the disease with over 2.2 million death recorded in 2021 alone in sub-saharan Africa

Kobojunkie:
1. Had the man in question ever been directly impacted by Sickle-cell Anaemia or had a close relative with the disorder that he had to care for?

2. Had any of these villagers had to visit a local hospital for treatment for any of the listed conditions before or during that point in time? I ask because there is no way a HIV case would appear in a hospital and not at least walk away more knowledgable than when he first walked into the hospital.

3. This discussion isn't about random people who have never been directly impacted by the condition in question but of people like OP's parents who had not one but 2 SS children before proceeding to have a third one. They had to have been aware there was a problem that needed handling, and must have been informed while seeking help from medical professionals for their previous 2 cases before they had the 3rd SS child. What's worse is that all 3 SS children were probably born in the new millennia — 2000s.

4. Poverty is not a good enough excuse for ignorance, nor is it a copout for what is apparent wickedness on the part of OP's parents.

5. While you may have been ignorant of the child's true condition, I can bet you that the mother who administered the drugs to said child is well aware of the condition her child suffered and can even give you pointers on what drug to use, all based on information she received primarily from her doctors.

You are in the city and have access to doctors, private clinic, labs.
About 90% of Nigeria are in extreme poverty far exceeding that of India with a billion plus population.
There are villages with no access to a single doctors.
Even in big cities in Nigeria today doctors are drying up as they all come here to practice. The last time I visited fmc they booked me 1 month time space to see a consultant, worst still I find it hard to get a consultant in private clinic except in Lagos where I saw specialist hospital that deals with issue like that.


People are dying of aids, HIV related illness with no data to capture such occurrance and the victim/patient don't only realise it when they are at dying point. Nigeria is really messed.

I was part of a team conducting a research last week with one of the Universities here in UK and my focus was on Nigeria. Had to go to the Nigerian export promotion Council to get data but no enough data everywhere was dry... Most I saw only ended up in 2008. But when I went to FRED database you see lots of data covering decades ago

While am saying this is that Nigeria is messed and poverty is high. People easily sell their votes for few cups of garri and some accept 30k to defend politicians online. All this are ignorance and poverty at play



With science today, the issue of sickle cell can be handled effectively with preconception sex selection, primary sex selection or sex pre-selection which means that AS/AS can still Marry and produce children free from genetics disease but the question remains can the average Nigeria afford this expensive procedure that are easily affordable in western countries? Are there hospitals in Nigeria that can handle the process without shipping the specimen abroad which end up compounding the financial cost

1Sharon:


Didnt you read the OP? Can't you make your own deductions? His siblings are in uni. Can't you deduce that they much younger than 80s offspring?

Once the parents had the first child with SS, what actions did they take? What did they learn from that child?

Why did they make same mistake again and again?

Old age has nothing to do with it. They were not old when those children were born.

Acidosi.s was right OP's parents are indeed wicked.

You are well informed, living in the city with big phones, have access to CNN, went to school up to secondary school and we'll exposed...

There are areas in Nigeria where they have no access to electricity, no access to primary health center, no access to water.

I had the privilege of serving in the core north when I was in Nigeria and I will tell you that the poverty in Nigeria is shockingly high mostly in our rural areas.

What guide them there is local culture and traditions norms and values which has little to offer in terms of science and technology. Where before they get married they consult an imam or a local traditional seers who tells them it's the will of the gods etc.

Even my mom told me about when she wants to get married, the parent consulted a seer who told them my dad will die young.. True to their words he died after 10 years or more in the marriage

When sickness arises they run to the traditional healer who gives them herbs and stuff like that and they continue.

Even in the city, people just start relationship and start producing children.. Majority of Nigeria ends up like this.

For now we can't know it all, until we hear the parents side of view, that's why I said it's ignoran and left it so. Even science don't know it all that's why in research analysis, we don't reject rather we fail to accept. Because we don't know whether a what we are rejecting will be right after when much studies are applied.

Kobojunkie:
Ignorance is maybe the first or second but after that, it is blatant wickedness.

By the 1980s, the primary school health science curriculum included teaching kids about such sicknesses as sickle cell anemia, sleeping sickness(trypanosomiasis), and a handful of other conditions. There was mass education going on particularly for parents who already has kids with the disorder on cause and prevention. So, to suggest that the 80s was a decade of ignorance as far as Sicklecell anemia is a total lie.

When I wanted to get married, I was speaking with a man In his 60s a pastor .. One thing he mentioned was that during his time they knew nothing about AS/As genotype.
Do you think education has reached every aspect of Nigeria? When I was serving, I had the privilege to be posted to the north an interior village before I redeployed south. You will be amazed that most people don't or have little information about aids, HIV prevention and control. Etc this is a community without electricity.

We should not sit on one side and conclude. There are certain factors at play... Which one of them is ignorance. They didn't know much and maybe thought it's just early child sickness.

Nigerians are not well educated as you think, iterate level is extremely low in rural areas. Poverty is shocking high. Most families don't have funds for ordinary malaria drugs etc they relied heavily on roots and herbs and only wait till things get worse before they get to hospital.


In a yard I was living when I was in Nigeria. There was a baby born then. I even thought the baby was a stickler because every night the mom must administered several drugs in the baby.. Drugs will full one bucked where the mom select an administered. Baby was soo thin and look out of this world.
But with time around 5 years she became okay and now she look like giant to me and now married and give birth.

1Sharon:


You don't get it do you? Once they had the first child with ss, what precautions did they take? Why did they continue to have more and more children with ss??

The 80s are irrelevant here. Ops siblings are not 80s babies, they are 2000 babies. His parents really had no excuse. It like they didn't care.

Did he tell you they are 2000? Didn't you see where he said the parents are now old. I don't know why you argue a lot. Calling the parents wicked, that was why I quoted you. The parents are ignorant, they knew nothing about it the disease, if they knew they would have taken measures

Regex:


My mum and dad got married in 1993 they did Genotype. So where's the excuse for the op?

1993 that's why I said most 1980s. Hope u read where he said his parents are aged ... Mine got married 1978 they never did. Majority of marriages held in the villages, even in small towns hardly do check genotype.

Acidosis:


Again, OP has revealed that his siblings are all Gen Zs. It's now up to you to continue to make excuses for ignorance, poverty, birthing 5 children in the midst of poverty, or abandoning 3 SS children to fate.

I ask again did you parents conduct genotype?
If they did then they must be enlightened or well exposed.
Don't you know that in the past most especially 80s downward people hardly test for stuff like this as majority of Nigeria where in rural area with little or no information about genotype, again with little or no formal education

Referring to them as wicked is unnecessary as they don't know anything of such.

Even till today.go back to your village you discover that some are not well informed on genotype.

It was even in my secondary school I began to understand what sickle cell is all about and did my first test on that in 100 level which was a requirement from the University.

So imagine if I am not educated up to the point of secondary school. What would have happened?



Even now science is now breaking boundaries with such.. Making it possible for those with AS /As to get married. But the process is expensive and most effectively in developed world.

Acidosis:


Your parents are very wicked.

Ask your mom n dad if they did genotype test before marrying. And they should be in their 60s.

In the 70s, 80s and even early 90s most of us don't know what genotype is. Where is the lab to run this test as you can find today. If exist will be expensive.

Even now.. Go to remote villages, they still don't know what genotype is.. We are lucky to have this level of education n leave in city

In Nigeria.. We drag everything.. But end up losing all.

We drag tribe, drag states, drag communities, drag kindred.. Come to the family we drag land.

No sense of communal brotherhood.

Of everything affecting Nigeria.. What they are inviting the press and wasting time and resources is who first settled or own Lagos.


Come to the Europe most especially UK. They attract the best Brian from all over the world irrespective of where they come from to come contribute and make their nation great. Come to the universities of recent there has been increase in the number of black lecturers of recent mostly Nigerians lecturers

But in Nigeria, once you are not in my tribe or ur tribe just get lost.. If you like have the intelligence of Albert Einstein the other tribe will kick you off.

Even in the bible Nebudchadnezer had to subdued nation through warfare, forcefully take their bright and intelligent personalities take them to Babylon to build his kingdom..
Today the western world are doing same not through war but through subtly means
Why will kick out the intelligent ones on the useless excuse of tribe.

See where it has landed us.. Still unemployment, inflation, insecurity, bad leadership etc.

Ok.
But how much is visa? Asin just the visa only.

When you talk about visa.. You talking about fees for processing your stuff and health charges.

Visa application is 480 or 500 dollars and health charges is 980 or so dollars. Let's say 1500 dollars. This is for UK.


You must have genuine reason for coming. Either as skill worker or through school which is easiest or through tourist visa etc.

You can look for companies employing for roles that are open to foreigners due to shortage of workers... E.g Tech, health sector etc. This area is cheap and I will recommend it because the company is your sponsor.


For school.. Your school is your sponsorship.... But you will apply and pay certain fee from 3500 to 8000 pounds before they issue you documents to process your visa... You will have money in ur account to that covers your entire fee plus living expenses.. If school fee is 15,000 pounds, living expenses is 10,000 pounds.

Note coming on visiting or tourist... You can't work.. See no one can employ u.. Its crime here. No one will rent property to you.. They have codes you will receive from government that shows ur information.. They request it from u to rent a home or work or anything. Getting job through this visiting or tourist is 99.9999 not possible as technology rules here.

Love800:
Does this include visa?

Yes. Like I said... Nothing less.. Which means it's 10m and Above

Tohsynetita1:



I know that everything is planned over there but that's where research works, you make research about things, you don't just assume. Aren't people sending foods there? They are. It's just that most people there don't want to help. That's it.

Like I said, it will be that you ask more about the requirements to ship foodstuffs to the EU, UK market etc. Get those requirements, then start talking to those people letting them know that u meet the requirements etc.
You can equally travel down here to make contact or market research
