This is pure wickedness. It has nothing to do with the war. As long as the boss duly pays the sailor's salary, the sailor is just wicked. It is better to quit the job to demonstrate your patriotism. Sinking the ship cannot stop the war. Now, you have made the boss fear all his employees from your country.

BS.....What is wickedness in there? The sailor accused the guy of being an arms dealer and some of the ammunition sold is used to destroy his country. These guys are crazy people that can die for what they believe in unlike we Africans that can sell our family for a pot of porridge.

It runs in their blood. Same way her father did. Don’t ask me for details.

solochris:
I just feel like repeating this same question asked sometime ago, "who is bankrolling this trip"? But I have decided not to ask again

Lol. You are a Nigerian living in Nigeria. There are some things you don’t bother asking from folks living in Obodo oyinbo where almost everything works perfectly. If you don’t get it, you can gerrit �

kunle75:
My answer is yes,you don't need too much money but you need to be brave,smart and disciplined to navigate through the terrain cos its tougher than naija.

Talking from personal experience

Maybe you were lucky. If for instance, the guy carry 5,000 usd and arrives at Dulles Airport without knowing anyone. It’s 12 F right now. It’s very very cold. The first thing is to arrange Uber or lyft and go bunk for one hotel. Minimum for this area is like 75 dollars. How many nights is the fella going to sleep without working before he depletes his savings of 5 k usd? Please don’t encourage people to embark journey without throwing out all information.
Again, with your non-immigrant visa, don’t start your journey without having the full gist and options. America no be Nigeria. The cold itself can kill you if care is not taken.

Gatsby:
Make sure that you live in a big city like Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Chicago or DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia).

Join a bug African church and be active in the singles ministry.

You will have a big network of progressive friends within 6 months.

Good luck and God bless.

Gone are the days bro. It’s always better to have a network either directly or indirectly. Bro, no be joke. If you stay for Motel 6, an average night goes for like 55 dollars depending on the city. Before your SSN go arrive sef, no be joke. Things were easier pre-pandemic. These days, no be joke to get appointment for any government establishment.
It’s possible to travel to anywhere without knowing anybody but you go see hell. I mean it. The experience is hell on earth oooo.

I am very sure that if you get money well, you won’t come here and ask this question.
My one cent is that you should try and look for one host or the other before you embark on the trip.

When he dey trade Bitcoin nobody reason am, now y’all bitch ass’s screaming ritualistic

Crypto is the future currency of the world whether you like it or not.

Pussy ass niggarr would come to my mention, but I ain’t backing down, gonna school y’all.

The earliest you jump on crypto the better for you

So I keep on grinding and clean the proceeds to crypto so law enforcement would got nothing on me

Hell ya crypto has helped me and has made a whole lot of folks millionaires.

Elon Musk is fascinated about crypto, who the fvck are you, yes you niggarr

I said what I said

I wonder my brother. Don’t mind the guy jare. The last time I checked, Bitcoin dey on downward trajectory. Even the likes micro strategy chief and Cathy Wood can’t afford to sell at this current price. Anyway, what do I know sef? The main Chief wey dey throw away money sef for burial is under drug related probe.

I come in peace oooo

Ammishaddai:
Atiku will never be president. He should just retire and start playing golf

You can’t be so sure of that. If by divine providence, APC mistakenly nominate GEJ, ATIKU will defeat him this time around.

JosephXavier:
The issue here is, does your sister really want to come back?

Sometimes conscience can deceive some people

She may see that when she returns to Nigeria, that she will be back to square one to face her unemployment and maybe she have done one or two jobs there and might have been paid

If she is willing to return to Nigeria before the expiration of her return flight, then she should look for a way to contact the UAE police and her madam will be arrested and prosecuted duly

To you, prostitution is better than facing unemployment issues. Hmmm, I tire for this generation. Indeed, Buhari and this APC administration don make Nigerians colomental.

ArticleBeast:
Yes he has pastors in those places and visits to preach. Can the next demon come forward with his or her wailing?

It’s not really about wailing. There is a thin line between show off and touching lives. Most days it’s hard to see a church that lays emphasis on salvation, consecration and righteousness.
They lay emphasis on being rich and staged healings.
If you have less than 1,000 usd dollars, you can pass the night at Trump Towers, depending on the room and floor.

I don’t want to rent a space in his head to determine why that picture was posted, but definitely, it will attract both positive and negative criticisms.

Iyaebe:
I no longer give tithe in the church because my G.O is one of the richest pastors in the world, I simply give my tithe and care to the old and abandoned because that's where my passion is and I derive great joy doing that and I believe its better than given it out in the church where you can't account for what your tithe is been used for but my mom thinks I'm backsliding lol

God bless you. You are indeed a blessing to others.

tycoon3:
Please how do I practice preventive therapy! Is there anything you need I should do or I should stop doing

Guy, just be very careful about which medication you use. Those antibiotics can be very powerful and have a detrimental effects on you if care is not taken.

Like someone said earlier try see a dermatologist and hear them out.

I used to have that experience and it was so bad. It was so bad that I saw a dermatologist in the UK, he suggested that I should have my blood tested and later recommended medication and cream to apply.
It comes and goes.

Later, when I moved to the USA, I had to see dermatologist ( specialist) again cos it really gave me concerns.

Guess what the specialist told me? “ it’s in your blood and you will out grow it”.

It’s over 5 years now and the skin issue just disappeared without any medication anymore.

It was so bad that I always had eyin aro, (local herb) with me always regardless where I was.

I wish you best of luck but please be careful of what you apply.

They stopped it last year or so, an ACCA will write exams to become a CPA in Canada.

Wow

eazzzy1:
https://www.cpacanada.ca/en/become-a-cpa/international-credential-recognition/international-recognition-agreements/international-members-seeking-canadian-cpa

This is a list of recognized accounting body by CPA Canada. Neither ICAN nor ACCA are recognized. People with these certificates may be exempted from taking the prep courses but still have to take the CPA Pep exams to become a licensed in Canada.

This is BS. ACCA is acceptable and recognized in Canada. The UK and Canada Accountants are trained and groomed based on IFRS while USA financial standard is GAAP.

Like it’s been said over and over, ACCA is more of accounting and financial reporting while CFA has more to do with Finance/ investment.

Anytime, CFA is a worthwhile certification if you can afford it and withstand the requirements in terms of reading and cost.

I hope this helps.

Mstravelindiva:
And perhaps you should mine the business that pays you sis! My thread is about travel, so unless you have value to add or questions specific to the topic, keep scrolling.

Good, Vibes, Only Friend!

And thank you for putting them where they belong to. Ill-mannered people everywhere

Mstravelindiva:
Cuba is definitely on my list, just waiting for the right time and from a safety perspective would like for this pandemic to die down a bit.

If you’re on TikTok you can check me out there too (Mstravelindiva_), I post quick travel tips, foodie reviews which you might also find helpful especially if you’re not into watching YouTube videos.

Believe it or not I studied business, travel is just my passion and calling. It provides me the opportunity to see life from their perspective and quickly humbles you as you become aware of life, culture, religion and foods outside of your norms. It allows you to be more cultured, educated, less biased and inclusive of others who may not look, speak or have the same beliefs as you.

Tunnel vision is not an option for me, I was to experience life from the other lens!

The bolded caught my attention. Sincerely, whenever you meet someone with a broader view and with good travel history, you tend to fall in love with them naturally. They have a broader perspective and are naturally welcoming.
Nice pictures with nice captions.

Thank you.

odysey:
Those guys are the biggest givers

I agree with you. There is joy in giving.

Vipro:
Life is believed to begin at age 40. Before you turn 40, you should have reached some financial milestones in life to make your years as enjoyable as possible.

I share your financial steps you need to take before you turn 40. If you have reached the age of 40, you can still begin to achieve these financial goals, because I think it is never too late to achieve something in life. if you have the commitment and courage.

The list below shows my personal recommendations. You have the choice to make them disappear or not. Still, I think your over-40s would be better if you reached those milestones before you were 40.

1. Pay off debt: Debt can be a major setback in your journey to financial security, especially compound interest debt. You must do everything in your power to pay off all of our debts from those with the highest interest rates.

Your goal should be to lead a debt-free life. Pay off your debt and make sure you don't take it back. You have more peace when you have no debts. Business loans are an exception. However, you should consider other ways to raise capital for your business before considering a business loan.

2. Build marketable skills: If you can do what others can’t do, they’re willing to pay for it. What skills do you have that other people would be willing to pay for? If you don’t have the skills yet, go learn it today. This is very important!

Try to learn a skill that is not common. If everyone can do it, the value

Don't forget to like, share and follow me for more updates.

Nice write up. In addition to the above points, don’t buy what you don’t need. These days you will people acquiring stuffs that doesn’t add value ( eg expensive iPhones and Samsung phones). Also, it’s always good to have this can do spirit. Never underestimate your academic achievements as well, the future might look bleak but definitely there is light outside of the tunnel. Definitely, a day is coming when opportunity will meet hardwork.

Shey na wagen or wagon
From sugar daddy

Another bad belle Nigerian picking. A little google search might help. The father has been a cardiologist in the States for the past 33 years and the bride herself is a seasoned lawyer in Cali. A G wagon is nothing to the Cardiologist and moreover, if he's prudent might decide to pay in installments for 5 years. Young man, some folks get legitimate money nobe all these polithieves we have in Nigeria.

I hope this helps.

Failed state. Let us fast forward to 2021, what has really changed? NOTHING

ugochukwufrenzy:
2014... meaning it was in the era of GEJ....
well...

Thank you, my brother. Yet some short-sighted people are clamoring for his return. If the stupid man had done what he was supposed to do and not drinking gburukutu all around, Nigerians won't have voted for this manicure we currently have. Shame on all of them and their handlers.

OYENIYIJK:
Thank you. I just recharged my mom
I will be doing that occasionally now.

And did you mum ever inquired what the source of income is? The is one of the root causes of the social vices we have these days.

SonOfAfonja:
Nice...

My kids are never going to contribute a dime in my house....that’s a sign of failure from the parents...

Yes, those kids can easily misbehave. Yes I know of a 20 year old boy assisting his father with bills and seriously misbehaving. The dad is a single dad with 8 children. He has 3 jobs but finds it difficult to make ends meets.
The 20 year old boy graduated from high school, started working ( 2 jobs) and assisting his father with some bills but disrespects his dad at the slightest provocation.
Never, I mean never will be child contribute to the well-being of the house when I am still alive.
Come to think of it, what are the responsibilities of the supposed parents?
Once my children are old enough to work, they will definitely go look for apartments and be responsible.
There is a caveat though. If I live in Lagos and my kids are grown up, still single and working in the same city before they stand on their feet, yes, they can support me at will. That’s different from when are saddled with my responsibilities when I am not bed ridden.

Karleb:
Children shouldn't be a burden to parents. Ever! This is exactly why family planning is being advocated.

I get your point tho. A working child should be able to contribute one or two things at home. But it shouldn't be compulsory.

The fundamental duties of any parent is to take care of the children needs. The role should never be reversed.

What is the definition of a child? A child old enough to work but still living with his/ her parents or a child that’s still in school and looking up to his/ her parents for stipends.
Go check it out...... even in all these developed countries, a 16 year old can still get a part time job somewhere. My only fear is that when you are saddled with responsibilities as a child, it’s very difficult to reach the peak if care is not taking.
For the ones saying they still in school and sending their parents money, I am afraid you are have become a ‘ child breadwinner’ if there is any word like that. Yes as kids, we should learn to give to our parents if there are occasions, like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays and likes but not contributing to the well-being of a home. I have witnessed several situations where young adults contribute to the well-being of the house and they tend to be larger than life to their supposed parents.
For me oooo, I won’t encourage my kids/ wards to contribute to the well-being of my house because of the following reasons:
(1) they can’t come in and go out without communication and prior approval from me.
(2) I don’t want my kids to stamp their ground and tell me that they do contribute, therefore, they can do whatever they like.
(3) I want my kids to be responsible for their success and failures. If they are saddled with responsibilities early enough, they can later give executes for their mistakes in life. ( typical examples are the yahoo yahoo boys and oloshos)
(4) I have always prayed that my kids should stand tall in all their endeavors. That said, it is the responsibility of parents if within their power to support, provide and train their kids so as to avail them of good opportunities, compete with their mates and turn out to be responsible adults.

Even in advance countries Joshua might be referring to, their support system is outstanding. They have child benefits, food assistance, housing assistance and all sorts.

I hope my explanation helps.

God bless.

Yeahmehn:
Even though this is an insane combination and I'm against it. Mustapha knows the ropes and how to run the country cos he was doing so under abacha. Besides the only ropes osinbajo knows are the ones tying his hands.

DOA

That was in the 90s. He has lost touch with recent events. These bandits, ISWAP, and co are not child's play. And moreover, the last time I checked, he is a murderer.

Ramon92:
When the Northerners were getting actively recruited in the military, the Southerners believed that school/education is the way to go, but in reality anything military/defense is a priority and comes first before any other sector regardless of the circumstance. This is one of the effects playing out.

In fairness to Buhari, he made a point that those retired in favor of the new CoAS doesn't have the field experience to manage the troops which is perfectly logical. Theory stays in the head, practical brings experience.

And from yesterday's interview, I saw a man who knows what the country's problem is and how to tackle it but his dementia or whatever sickness he has is seriously letting him down and being taken advantage of ruthlessly by his handlers. He might not be as articulate as we expect a president to be which makes most of his words taken out of context, but a neutral mind will get his points.

The blame should go round and much of it should go to his aides/handlers who I believe constantly lie to the president about the current situation and the citizens who doesn't have the minds of their own. A leader who shouldn't be there the second time is the result.

Let's stop being emotional and see things objectively as they are.

And this is one of the main reasons why some people would prefer to have their own nation. Have you ever applied to any public job whatsoever in Nigeria? I am sure you have not. Be it military, paramilitary, or public government jobs, its just man no man and any affiliation to the dominant tribe. Do you think there is fair play in anything in Nigeria? That is one of the reasons why they are well-positioned for all those lucrative jobs. Take a look at the composition of the supreme court and Customs. Its dominated by the Northerners. To tell you the truth, they are well positioned for any good opportunity even if they are morons and unintelligent.

Amotolongbo:
I think this is what the Bible said above, why is Pastor Adeboye disobeying and circumventing the Buhari’s Authority?

If Pastor Adeboye perceived this command as evil, he has all the opportunity on earth to tell Buhari the above bible verse.

What if the man is outside of Nigeria when he tweeted? People should learn to look at issues from different angles. Just my one cent.

gambia:
Twitter should have deleted buhari himself. I no longer pity his gullible followers, most of them are languishing in abject poverty at the moment, the rest will follow suit Insha Allah.

Go and report his tweet n let us hear word.

I just reported one of his tweets. He tweeted that any soldier sent to the east will not return alive. The tweet has been taken down. It incites violence.
