GeneralKoko:


I found out months later that she is a pathetic cheat and it ain't mine

Great but please, going forward, learn to be more responsible in this regard.

GboyegaD Kobojunkieee Daddycoool hope you can see for your self in this article that what I said was right considering homelessness in Nigeria where I stated that no one is truly homeless in Nigeria,but kobojunkieee said he's papa is blind....these man in this article has family in zamfara but choose to sleep under lagos bridge and send money home,na by force make everyone live for lagos..hope you can see the picture I'm tryna present

This is one of the thousands living under the bridge

I know the name but I don't know him.

CJStarz:

Ok o
But nepotism is a Nigerian for sure

Focus on yourself. Nepotism is there but not all firms hire through the back door.

Cxmanluvs:


Your mind is automatically programmed to see fault and negatives at all times.

Making life better is part of government responsibilities, shelter is a prominent need of human existence, so the chairman deserves some accolades instead of criticism on this project.

God bless Lagos,
God bless Nigeria.

How much is it? Government estates should be low cost housing estates but for these ones, the price will be scary as usual and unaffordable.

Hotspurs:
im 29 going to 30, lived in lagos ibadan ilorin and osun, never seen an homeless person in naija, you go see who go take u in nii shaa

It doesn't work like that for everyone

Hotspurs:
under bridge,I talk am,pikin wey no won hear word wey run comot for house,person wey also leave him state or village to go city yo dey live for under bridge...alaye nothing like homelessness in Nigeria,I no like our leaders but this I'm proud of

I once heard a friend mention this and all I felt was just to let it slide. It is best to leave you to your assumption as people become homeless for many reasons we do not have ideas of. For those whose parents never took to their villages, what village do they go to? For those whose parents changed names before they were born, where do they go?

Was Obasanjo not the one who started the jumbo salary and made our political offices do or die when he came into power in 1999 all in orchestration for his third term agenda? Why is he talking like it is something new?

The pain is that the owners never repent. They put vehicles that are not road worthy on our roads.

Hopefully, people have good insurance in place.

Lionize:


I guess you just read the opening phrase of my comment and didn't bother to continue.

I extracted the below from his write=up, and till tomorrow, makes sense to me.
do not live above your means

Even the low-paying jobs, with great planning, and consistency, one can make a great future out of it. People make equivalent of about 3-4k monthly in Europe doing multiple delivery jobs.

i hate it when Nigerians carry Nigerian mentality abroad. Because you are privileged to get a good paying 9-5 job does not make you better than another, so long as you don't pay the person's bills. And, like you said, abroad is a land of unlimited growth opportunities compared to Nigeria.

What mentality do you carry when you think yourself as an authority over someone else's life and choices?

Wsx2:



My brother better leave Nigerians alone, they are difficult to advice. Plan your life wisely, time will tell. I left 8 houses back in nigeria , 3 cars. I got here in canada and had to adjust immediately. I live in 1 room here and never drive a finance car, this is a different society. Just because they gave them credit opportunities, they will go all out to put themselves in debt they can’t get out of just to show off on social media and impress gullible people back home. They are broke.

If you try to advice them they will shut you off and say they only live once, they never for once think they can live longer. They don’t even think.

Plan ya life bro

Oga, live your life the way you want and allow others do the same. You are not the monopoly of advice.

Sapasenator:


I wont drag with him. I know the secret of most people because I was in the banking sector abroad as a financial planner for years and I see the secret of everyone.

I had a Nigerian lady walk up to me in my office wearing Gucci hat, clothes , glasses, shoes and she looked very expensive.

Account na negative and constant overdraft.

I make good money abroad but I realize I can make more in Nigeria. I will be exploring moving to Naija on a part time basis soon. Enjoyment and life full for Naija.

You did things against the ethics of your job and you are here talking about it full chested. Why monitor the Financials of your clients?

I wonder why people are so bothered about someone else's life story. Whatever made the tears flow can only be explained by him. Crying at such moments as this in my opinion tells of how grateful one is to experience and cherish the moment.

I also feel the average Nigerian guy is so beaten down by life circumstances that they find it difficult to relate with their emotions/inner man. The average one of them is so stereotypical and obviously lacks a good life otherwise, we all should know to each his own.

Why the announcement when it is just in its initiation phase?
My interest is who monitors the building project? I ask this because the First Bank building behind the social science faculty in Ife is the worst shanty on campus. It couldn't stand near any of the old buildings and when I visited a few years after it was constructed, I was ashamed of Ife as it was an eye sore.
Since then, I believe any voluntary project should be handled by the donor as those in our citadel of learning are as corrupt as the government.

Afrojuju2017:


You do know onne is in the heartland of ijaw & ikwere nation those ones don't have the patience of lagosians they'll institute passage tax on cargo passing through their domain

The sea belongs to the country and the best they can get is the tax and not some unconstitutional levies. The government should have learned and not tolerate any illegality on this.

anamo:


The school won’t do a SEVIS transfer unless I check in with them by physical presence. The department also won’t do a deferral in this case…so I just had to chose another school where I have been admitted…So, transferring SEVIS ID isn’t possible in this case (but I can transfer my SEVIS payment on the SEVIS portal myself). I might be wrong but the other visa becomes invalid in this case.

Why wouldn't the school transfer your SEVIS? You are not coming to their school and another school is requesting the transfer.

anamo:

If you are changing school (which is true in my case), you’ll need a new F-1 visa especially with the SEVIS 5 month rule

The professor who input the funding I got a visa with in school A lost his NSF application and he only told me in June after I already got my visa in April. I should have risked it and travelled but I’m scared I’ll just be left stranded after I’ve reached out to other professors who claimed they didn’t have funding. Since I got a new offers for Spring 2025, I just reached out to the grad coordinator that TA offer will be better, rather than RA, which is fine.

Right now it seems going to the embassy again will just be a waste of time.

Thank you

Why do you think you will be denied visa? You didn't commit any crime by choosing not to go for program A. You don't need to much of details. Just make it known to the visa officer that program B gave you admission for Spring 2025 and it is your preferred program as such, you decided not to go with program A. If your visa isn't expired, I don't think you need reappear for another visa interview.

anamo:


H

Since you have the admission for Spring with TA, you should be good. Just wait till December before you come in. When does your F1 visa expire?

MichaelSokoto:

dis is also my own mindset now oo!
Nigerians actually don't deserve any kind of pity!
They are the architect of their own misfortunes!

Sincerely, this is my conclusion. The level of tribalism and nepotism even amidst the perceived learned one's is irritating to say the least. Many only complain when they are not the beneficiaries of these ills of governance and most do not understand the real value of liberty and that is why they are crazy over the paper money than its value.

What do the kids used in storing their items when vacating these days?

Hopefully, Onne port will help decongest the Lagos ports and make the prices of imported goods cheaper due to reduced cost of transportation.

Kobojunkiee:
These people and communities that have been ravaged by bad governance need to come out to protests. Obviously, sitting back doing nothing has not helped them nor anyone else..

The average Nigerian doesn't like the other. Aren't these killings all signs of bad governance? Did some people not collect N2k to protest against the end bad governance protest?

I have learned to watch and laugh when people complain now as it is obvious the populace are a greater problem.

naijamanyoutube:
I for give you a ride.

Bros, How una dey na? I go call you soon.

kaycome:

That's cool. Which state are?

Arizona

kaycome:


Is it the same GboyegaD from the beginning of the thread. Wow longest time. How're you doing? I check in once in awhile to see how the thread is going. Hope you dey hear from Imperiouxx, walspring and other veterans of this thread 🤣🤣🤣

I check in from time to time and contribute. I heard from Imperiouxx some months ago. I should check on guys in my cohort this weekend as it's being a while I last heard from most.

femmy2010:


Tuition has been paid directly to the school . The N20k is additional support for the student's upkeep.
This is a good one, really.

Something well thought out like this is what Nigerians need , not Sending grains to them like paupers.

My hope is that the beneficiaries find good job upon graduation to enable them repay otherwise, that's another trouble being for the future.

anamo:


I tried reaching out to two professors trying to get a GA, but wasn’t successful.. and the fear of not being able to waive my tuition is also there if i landed..I also depend a whole lot on the funding as I don’t have a dime to support myself beyond the first month… it’s just going to be more miserable. Well, maybe I should just diss the idea over all and try some other countries. Thanks

Did he withdraw the funding because he thought you were not coming? Have you tried reaching out to your graduate program director?

The current governs is a colossal failure. How do you explain this subsidy with the increasing rate per Kilowatt?

Gosas:
I scored 167 in quant section. I don't mind Masters, just looking for fully funded scholarships.
My WhatsApp no is *******. Thank you.

The number is not showing on my what's app. Can you please check and confirm the number again?

TQing:
Hi GboyegaD,

Could I send you an email? I have a BSc in Economics and am applying for master's program. I would appreciate your assistance.

Thank you,

Yes you can. I'm not so good with emails and even what's app but let's start from the email and then we can exchange numbers on there.

Gosas:
Good day house,
Trust you all are keeping safe. I have been able to read couple of the threads.
Please I need assistance, I am looking to apply for a PHD for fall 2025.
1. I graduated with a second class upper in Economics 3.83/5.0 and I have been able to write GRE
2. Please how do I navigate the search for full funded scholarships
3. Please I would love if you can also assist with any advice that would help me out.
Thank you

Thank you

What was your GRE Score? Why are you not also considering Masters? How good is your mathematical skills? My advice coming from Nigeria in Economics is to do a Masters before PhD.

You can drop your what's app number if you wan my to talk more. I studied Economics and may be able to give a few tips/advice.
