[quote author=Greenvaiper post=107966187][/quote]Security issues chasing people from agriculture yet some are still making it big. There are always more than one side to a story.
The truth is Nigeria is where you can make it big in agriculture. Snail farming, Rice production, and what have you.

because u selfish, u don’t want better life for ur children’s

What do you mean by better life for your children? Even if you and your descendants stay abroad for 50 generations as citizens doing well, you are still African and you all would still likely not be seen as one originally belonging to their land or respected as such.

If you are an Agric expert you can make good money in Nigeria though, you don't really need abroad. But if you must travel by all means, have you looked into the express entry for Canada?

Udapod:
I will be sincere no. But it's a bit better than 9ja. They gave admission easily, imagine MBBS at just 1.9m. The only business you can do there is online business. They have constant light

If there are no jobs, the only thing that should take one there should be for maybe better security in my opinion.

Please is 31 years old too late to learn how to be a web developer?

I don't know where people get the notion that old people don't code or one can be too old to code. Is this perception from Hollywood that shows us young nerds and geeks hacking away at a very young age?

If you want to start something, start. You don't need our validation to make you decide if you're too old or not. So if we say yes you are too old to code, what then? Does it mean you'll then abandon your desire to learn web development? If you do that, one can assume you were only looking for an excuse not to begin your web development journey in the first place.

I talked with my agent, he said the slot the have will expire on dec 15, when I asked what type of work, below is his response "We have store keeper
Supervisor
Driller
And truck driver
Presently but if I connect with my friend there is working in engineering company"

He is not going to get work Visa with my findings.

The only way I found out is getting a job offer from there.

As for your agent, tell him you can only begin the process when you get the contract to take to the embassy and you can confirm the job contract. If he accepts then no problem. If he can deliver you the job contract from the company and you confirm it, then you can take him more seriously, you would also have to get the visa from the embassy as well.

I'll advise to see if you can string your agent along without paying anything upfront first, then use the information you get from your agent in your search online as well. If your agent delivers a job contract in the process, then you begin to take him seriously but the visa is the ultimate.
Remember you can do this thing yourself, you only need to know where and how to apply for construction jobs in Germany (that require only English) and write a good CV detailing your experience in construction. Construction and civil engineering is hot cake everywhere, but you may not easily get permanent contracts though like many other professions.

I really appreciate you guys for your sincere and prompt response on this subject. Please if you have another means or route of getting in to Germany apart from academic. I intend to work first before any educational upgrade. Please General I still count on you for more assistance.

If you have experience in Civil engineering, you can apply to jobs in Germany directly and you may get either a blue card or work permit. Without a little work experience, I don't know how you would go about it.

The only way I know in that case would be to apply for a 6 months job search visa, where you have to show proof of finance for all 6 months. But that route even may still not work out if you have no work experience and you may likely be denied that visa. School is still the easiest way for those without experience.

I don't know if there's a work visa for menial jobs, that I am not sure of and highly doubt, else that would have been your best bet. You can research on that though.

Did you ask your agent for the name of the company and job he was talking about? What was his response?

So let's look at it

If (num1>=num2)...

If the condition evaluates to true do we need to check num2>=num1? If it evaluates to false do we need to check num2>=num1?

This should be the optimal code:

num1=float (input ('Enter first number:')
num2=float (input ('Enter second number:')
num3=float (input('Enter third number:')

a=[num1, num2, num3]
print (max(a))

Answer
Enter first number: 4
Enter second number: 5
Enter third number: 2
5.0

airsaylongcome:
So let's look at it

If (num1>=num2)...

If the condition evaluates to true do we need to check num2>=num1? If it evaluates to false do we need to check num2>=num1?

I get your point now. However, the way the code was written by giving condition to num 1 with respect to num 2 and num 3, if we fail to also give similar conditions to num 2 and num 3 ( being explicit enough), we may not get the desired outcome.
Thinking about it now, I think a better way would be to make a list of num1, num 2, and num 3, and then find the maximum. I'll try that to see if that is possible.

airsaylongcome:
So yes I think the number of comparisons should reduce. After the initial check of num1>=num2 I don't think there should have been a check for that again in the elif. I'm rusty in my programming so I don't have a ready solution for that. But I believe after the first check there was no need to check it again because we would already know if num1 was greater or not after that check

There's a need to also check if num 2>=num1, because that's a possibility. num 1 could be >= num 2, but it could also happen that num 2 is rather >= num 1. You definitely have to account for all possibilities.

When I asked, he said that they normally get slots from certain a company.

Scam. Even if that is true for the benefit of doubt, a German Employer would not give you the job automatically, you would need at least a series of virtual/ online interviews. If you don't do these interviews directly with the so called company and get a job contract from them, you cannot get a work visa no matter the agent or middle man working for you. That is how it is in Germany, so better save yourself from getting scammed.

umunnagree:
When I asked, he said that they normally get slots from certain a company.

It is most likely a scam. Tell him you would pay only after you see the job contract from the company and use it to get visa. Don't pay without this process, if you don't want to be scammed.
You should also know what company it is and what area you are going to work in.
Note that in Germany, it is rare for a company to just select you without an interview process. Your agent should give you the name of the company and the name of the job, then post it here for us.
If you ask me, I'll say everything looks suspicious to me. So just find out these things and make sure to give us the feedback before you do anything else. If he doesn't give you all these information, run without looking back.

airsaylongcome:
Good points. I'm also thinking was there any need to do the elif num2>=num1?

I don't see anything wrong with the code though. It looks perfect and Pythonic enough ( the one way of doing it) to me. I may be wrong though.

umunnagree:
Thanks dear
An agent that wants to help asked me to pay whooping amount of money 2.7m to get me work Visa, and that I would be going to company straight from here to work, but the type of work am not sure of at the moment.

Please if am going to resume in a particular company, will it give me a legal stay in Germany and perhaps get me the blue card?

And how long will it take to reunite with my family?

Please General, if you don't mind can chat you privately.

That doesn't sound real, beware of these agents.
What you should do is this:
Ask the agent how he/she is gonna go about this. You don't get work visa to Germany with 2.7 million naira, rather you get work visa to Germany by getting a job contract directly from a company, so how would the agent grant you this work contract?
If you ask me, I'll say the agent has to give you the details of the process and how he/she would go about it and then you Google it out before going along, else you'll likely get scammed.
What is your occupation/field?

Would you go through the Blue Card/ Work Visa route? If you get the job from Nigeria already without needing German then you've solved half of your perceived problem especially if you would work in places like Berlin.
Eventually you would have to learn German to perhaps assume more responsibilities or get to certain heights, but getting a good job initially without German especially in the Tech field is very possible.

After getting a job ( especially a blue card visa job), bringing in your wife on reunion visa wouldn't be that much of a problem.

seunoni34:
Also 22 months if you know german language to B1 level

21 months to be very precise.

Fiestafetta:
Please bring it to my level sir, what do you mean by C1 German, is it language or course of study?

C2 German---Not too different from a native speaker
C1 German--- Proficient in language up to business/professional level
B2 German---Advanced and good enough for academics
B1 German---Average
A2 German---Basic but not beginner
A1 German---Ground level, basic beginner

I don't know if this is good or bad, but Nigeria has a culture that worships money. This love of money and the need to show that we are big is worrisome to me for reasons I really can't figure out properly at the moment. Everybody in Nigeria seem to want to make it so they can flaunt it to the world that they've made it.

Fiestafetta:
What of people in the healthcare sector, can they also follow the same route or their is any designated process for medical job related? Thanks for your anticipated response

For the healthcare sector, I believe the first step is to have at least a B2/C1 level of German before you can get jobs. C1 German would be better.

International women’s goalkeeper accused of being a man as Jordan FA calls for gender test on the Iranian footballer

The president of the Jordan Football Association (JFA) has called for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to carry out a gender test on Iranian women's goalkeeper, Zohreh Koudaei.
Iran beat Jordan 4-2 on penalties in September, with Koudaei saving two spot-kicks to help her country to qualify for the 2022 Women's Asia Cup for the first time in their history.

But the JFA have doubts over the 'eligibility of a participating player,' and are demanding a gender test on the shot-stopper. They believe Koudaei was in fact a man impersonating a woman.

In response, Iran's team selector Maryam Irandoost strongly denied the allegations.
Irandoost told sports news site Varzesh3: "The medical staff have carefully examined each player on the national team in terms of hormones to avoid any problems in this regard, and so I tell all fans not to worry.

"We will provide any documentation that the Asian Confederation of Football wishes without wasting time."

It comes after the President of the Jordan Football Association, Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, tweeted a letter calling for a gender test.

He has slammed the AFC over the 'very serious issue,' and fumed at the confederation to 'wake up'.

The JFA have demanded an 'independent panel of medical experts' take a look at the issue.

Part of the letter reads that the JFA: "Understand that gender verification is not mandatory for participating players, however, the article reserves the right for AFC to investigate and take appropriate measures if there is a doubt on the eligibility of a participating player.

"Considering the evidence submitted by JFA and given the importance of the competition,
"We request the AFC to initiate a transparent and clear investigation by a panel of independent medical experts to investigate the eligibility of the player in question and others on the team,
"Particularly that the Iranian Women Football team has a history with gender and doping issues."

She just captained rivers angels in the biggest club competition on the continent that's grown enough for me. Regina Otu and Rita Chikwelu are not half as mobile as Deborah. Unless u are going to bring back Ayinde right now there is no one on that team offering what Deborah does. We have had younger players on the team so this cannot be an excuse.

Exactly. The likes of Oparanozie, Orji, and Chikwelu were at their peak in women's football while at the U20 falconets category. This excuse of too young to play for the falcons is not a strong one in my opinion.

South Africa has the most jobs. Ghana does not have up to 1000 openings. Countries like Liberia, Cameroon, Ethiopia et al have less than 100 openings. Nigeria in its horrible state has more jobs than other african nations.

Yeah I think Nigeria has more jobs than any other subsaharan African nation except Southafrica despite Nigeria's somewhat unstable state. This is very disappointing. Africa is really far behind Europe and I am sure the continent as a whole doesn't even come close to several states in America.

Can't believe people still mentioning Poland... Poland wey be say their citizens na economic migrants of Europe..the way igbos flock to Yoruba land na the same way polish flock to other European countries especially Germany,UK and France.


But that doesn't make it a bad country cuz it's still better than 90% of the countries in Africa in infrastructure and opportunities . It's disrespectful to compare Poland with an African countries... Africa is a shithole place

I never knew Africa was so bad in terms of job openings because Poland in Europe cannot be considered a rich country in any way, but from the data, I was shocked to see they even have more job openings on LinkedIn than even South Africa. I think Africa has to seriously do better.
BTW l'll plea that we do not go tribal on this thread, because although I'm neither Igbo or Yoruba, apart from a few highbrow areas of lagos and to some extent Abuja, there is nothing worth visiting in any state I have been to in Nigeria.

Yea.. But I'm not making money from Nigerians or her population. My clients are abroad based and that Will always form the core part of my business.

Nigeria may go to war. It is unstable with complex ethnic problem birthed by the wicked leaders who have vowed never to be fair in ethnic issues in the country. So, problem go dey dey.

But your starting a business anywhere would still be to make profit nah, abi?
Lol, Nigeria would never go to war. Nor be today we start to dey hear that one.
