Really? Gist us

The way a Nigerian woman will behave in the UK will differ significantly from if she's in China.

Eastman20:
It's only an unfortunate man in this era dat will take Nigerian gals abroad esp Igbo gals
TREATMENT
Nigerian ladies are very vindictive and cunny...take them abroad and suffer fr it
The best thing is to leave them in Nigeria, although they will be sleeping around but it's better than being kicked out from d house u laboured to get

Maybe to Anglophone countries, not East Asia. East Asia has a way to conform a Black woman.

Come to think about it, migration is as old as humans. I came across a stat on Instagram that more than a quarter of a million Brits now live in Dubai. Meanwhile, we've thousands of Nigerians in the UK.

Humans will always migrate.

They want him to accept that he is fraudulent because they said so. Then they will now say "I told you so..." To grow up hard for many of these guys.
A friend of mine got investment for his project, then he had profit of $150k USD. Las las, the guy finally relocated to Denmark. When he wanted to leave, He put it on Nairaland here that he wanted to relocate come and see , there was nothing we didn't see and hear. Baba deactivate he account because of that ridiculous behaviour. They have grown so pale in reasoning that anyone who makes income to stand on his feet is deemed fraudulent.

Na Tensa I blame to show these animals things, else talking to him no for hold water, see as them derail thread with their gutter behavior.

Yes, to a great extent, it's his fault. I've chatted him about it, but he seems to like it.

A profit of $150K is ridiculously bountiful!

irumole1975:
Wait o, what’s happening? I thought yall hate Nigeria and will rather be in jail for eternity in America than to live as a billionaire in Nigeria? Ahaha what has changed? I thought 99% of Nigerians are poor and desperately want to leave the country? I can’t believe we still have Nigerian who want good things to happen to the country? Thought we all want evil to happen to Nigeria.

Or are yall lying on this thread? What happen to the japa wave of 2021 to 2022?

🤣🤣🤣

I had to comment because of this particular post. Truth is: many people will return abi japada within the next five years. It will much easier for those who are unmarried and without kids. But with the rising conservative movements, terrible frigid weather and stiffer competition for scarce economic resources in a place where one isn't part of the dominant group, many will move back to Nigeria.

Expect the wave of Return To Nigeria 2030

This thread reminds me of a LinkedIn profile I came across recently. Dude started as a customer relations analyst at Heritage Bank spending less than eight months there before moving to KPMG where he spent almost three years then Coca-Cola at almost two years and now has stayed at McKinsey and Company for more than five years.

OP, you have to start from somewhere. The problem will be staying put aka stagnating in that somewhere.

floss:
80k that can’t last 30m minutes in the hands of some people is what you’re asking if it’s good for the month.

Life is how you make it be for you
If you don’t want to be ambitious and intend settling for less, 30k is okay for the month as long as you don’t eat food

People are rejecting 500k per month jobs because they feel it’s an insult to them, here you’re considering 80k because you got nothing to offer or skill.

Some will argue for you to accept it first and look for something better, it’s very difficult to get a job while on a job except on referrals, but it’s possible. Don’t start what you won’t know that it’s past 8 months already

Lol.

Actually, the best time to search for jobs is when is employed. Searching while unemployed is harder and prone to rejections. Someone needs to garner experience from somewhere. OP should target six months of garnering experience relevant certifications and port away. Set a timeline when you will leave the job.

An experience is better than none.

tensazangetsu20:
Whos is doing an internship. You this man you go die of heart attack. I already had 4 years of software engineering experience before leaving Nigeria and I work at the core of financial services for my institution. Who is an intern? A rich relative will give me 40000 usd to buy a car to brag with it on nairaland

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that people are so intentionally envious to understand you had a solid work experience and leetcode knowledge to leapfrog the competition. You wey subscribe for leetcode and solved the questions na eim people say you are doing badly?

C'mon!

guysbewise:
Amen O! Most likely one of his close relatives is a top APC politician sending money to him in Chile, and his is using it to buy the stuff he is using to bluff here.

I have never seen anyone who hates APC more than OP. So that claim is baseless.

obaidan:
i cannot believe any sensible human being is taking sides to support or whitewash either of those 2 demons. I cannot believe what i am seeing on nairaland and other social media platforms from young Nigerians. They have turned it into South East vs South West battle. The same gimmick they used to cause disunity between their grandfathers in the 70s and 80s and 90s, they are still using it to cause division between the senseless offsprings in 2025. It is a shame

To think both regions would claim to be the most "enlightened" of all. Imagine defending the likes of IBB and Abacha in 2025 because of ethnic superiority. Na why I maintain my stance that collectively Nigerians are not intelligent.

guysbewise:
Then your colleague is a mafia!

Even if your colleague is in tech, tech roles are controlled by mafia hiring managers who control tech jobs and they give these roles to their mafia colleagues even though they cannot do the tech job but they get protected by thier mafia colleagues in the organisation.

Any evidence to support this claim?

The reality is that the industry has shed so many roles since 2022. With so many unemployed but highly experienced people, it is very hard for newbies to crack into the industry. Also, some jobs have been offshored and the global economy isn't powering on as then. There are etch jobs, but the competition is fiercer this time. Some countries have it easier but language and visa restrictions make it harder to get a foot inside. A prominent Nigerian first class law grad who studied at Harvard even experienced severe job hunting sessions with some of his classmates returning to their home countries. Again, for the umpteenth time, OP applied to more than 200 jobs before securing his first. I applied to almost 100 and had five final interviews before getting two offers. Mind you, these were in non-English-speaking countries.

In summary, looking for a job is a job, and unfortunately is a tough job in a troubling economy.

Premium Be Unto You

What would you advise an art student who is not well grounded in mathematics?

Any course especially in the lingustics or theatre art space would be okay. But if the person wants a high paying job after graduation, a foundational knowledge of mathematics is critical. Foundational means secondary school mathematics.

After reading OP's profile, I put it that he's a troll.

To be fair though, there is really no job that has lost its "respect". The advice for young entrants would be to have a strong math foundation, get into a good school preferably notably a federal university/polytechnic or top-rated private university, get a good grade and be well informed of the career/academic opportunities as they come by. Also, be prepared to change locations, especially at an early stage, if necessary.

Some ignorant people will come to say "Jobs are slavery". A big lie as the world has more employees than employers, and the most successful employers once worked somewhere or places to either raise their capital and/or garner experience within a structured environment.

Nnaemiemax:
Law still rocks!
It's definitely got to be Banking. It was the gold of all professions some 10-15 years ago.

Entry level bank staff earn not less than 300K per month. Some earn more than 400K per month. There are more well paying bank organisations than law firms. Also they don't discriminate against courses.

P.S. Permanent staff.

maasoap:
Apprenticeship system is clear sign of poverty in Igbo land. If you have children and have means, everyone knows that what you would give your children is education, not to go and live with one master for 10 years as a modern day slave.
That system too has even been corrupted that only few slaves are getting their entitlements at the end of the day, others are being chased away by their bosses, use and dump thing

Say whatever you wish, but the system was extremely useful and needed after the effects of the Civil War. And I do agree it needs to be reformed but shouldn't be outrightly condemned.

You won't understand its importance anyway.

Abagworo:
Truth is that no Igbo man is a billionaire. There are just so many Igbo multimillionaires in their hundreds of thousands if not millions. A millionaire is anyone worth more than 1.5 billion Naira to under 1.5 trillion Naira. Only few Igbo men are worth up to 200 billion Naira and above and that's the Tony Elumelus, Arthur Ezes, Orji Kalus, Orjiakos etc

I'm proud of being one of the multimillionaires of Igbo extraction right from my 20s

Good to read this from someone based in the region. This was how someone accused me of lying when I challenged his belief that Arthur Eze is worth $6.5BN.

Meanwhile, Cosmas Maduka was once assessed to be worth $500M by Forbes in 2014 and Elumelu at $700M, but I cannot recall the year.

oluyemi123:
The Bulgarian and the Australian should just down their ego and say congratulations. Congratulations Tenza.

Older Nigerians especially those in their 40s and 50s have this envy and annoyance for younger Nigerians in their 20s and 30s. The #ENDSARS protests made me realise things.

redcliff:
It was Boris Johnson. The green t shirt almost accepted a deal from Russia before he was talked down by Boris Johnson. Anybody that is smart will know that Putin has been on this matter since 2014. All the meetings they were having with angela merkel and hollande was just stalling. Go to youtube and listen to first hand experiences from politicial commentators who have 1st hand knowledge about what started this Ukraine war. John mearsheimer will be the best to listen to.

How exactly is Trump at fault?

RodgersAkpafu:
now Europe is having own meetings without US and singing discordant tunes with America.
D as president running your mouth about how "weak" Europe is....
No wahala
Once they start arming themselves to the teeth again (they have the tech to do so)
America should look the other way

A big shame ..... 80 years of Bretton woods working system to be thrown in the bin

The summary of everything Donald does is to focus squarely on China. That is his and the rest of America's economic elites' aim.

RodgersAkpafu:
What if Europe calls America bluff and continues the funding
Keir Starmer addressed Westminister and said clearly that Ukraine will receive as much financial and military support as they need, to which both sides of the benches broadly agree on.

You mean the one who would ask how high he shiuld jump when told to jump? Sha, if they don't like Trump's moves, let them fund the Ukraine project. The proof is in money. Fund it wholeheartedly.

Trump inviting all negotiators to the table would have solved this mess
Taking this cantankerous approach will not bode well at all

When they omitted Russia during the previous meetings nko? I do concede he should have at least invited European representatives but the US controls them. It is bad to be financially weak sha.

goslowgoslow:
Will you say this if it was Tinubu? "He can do what he likes" When it is white man it is right! Why are you people sophisticated hypocrites?

Anything the US president wants to do is his business. I am not an American. And in reality, Tinubu does what he likes. What can you or I do about it?

goslowgoslow:
You don't understand sarcasm when you see it?
What stupid truth? The same man that talk congress into approving money for Ukraine when he was a candidate!
Did you see where I used the word diplomacy?

Well, he has stated what he will do and is doing. The comedian and his audience have to listen or find a different funding machine.

goslowgoslow:
You are not making any sense and also contradicting yourself!
Why did Trump talk GOP into approving the money knowing fully that they won't gain anything in return and now turn around to criticize the same process that he allowed!
Whoever told you the Congress is dominant right now?

They had an election to win so they did what they had to do. Now, he can do what he likes.

See here: https://about.bgov.com/insights/congress/balance-of-power-in-the-u-s-house-and-senate/#which-party-currently-controls-congress
and here: https://pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/party-breakdown

goslowgoslow:
Yes he says it as it is even when it is stupid to say it! No diplomacy... nothing!

Why should the truth be a stupid thing to say?

Where did he lie? The war cannot be won by Ukraine, period. The US has out-spent its European counterparts who share borders with Ukraine and Russia.

Why do people love lies more than the truth?

osuofia2:
One thing with Trump, he no sabi pretend

Yes. Bare it all. Say it the way it is. You don't have to like him, but he is no pretender. Too many people have been deceived by the fake smiles of previous presidents. This guy tells you to your face what he wants. For that singular reason, I love him.

goslowgoslow:
The convicted felon is blaming Biden! The money given to Ukraine was approved by Congress which consist of his fellow Republicans! Foolish old man!

They were pressured to do so. David Cameron flew to meet Trump while as a candidate so he talks to GOP members to approve monetary support to Ukraine. Now, as president and a dominant Congress, they can do what they like/want.

That is the difference.

"a big beautiful ocean separating us" - This has shown to the world why the US does not mind causing problems in faraway lands such as Iraq and Libya simply because the consequences will never get to its shores.

"a war it would not win" - Every sane person knows this. Ukraine CANNOT defeat Russia, anytime, any day. Only the ignorant say otherwise.

This is why I like Donald - he says it the way it is without caring whose ox is gored.

Brilliant!

emmaodet:
I Believe Nigerian Men that are Poor "BEGGED" their Wives before they Agree to MARRY Them.
If you are rich or wealthy and have to beg a woman to marry you, then the issue is not about financial situation rather esteem issues.
If you are financially stable and averagely social, you will always have atleast 2 ladies in your hand at every point in time.
Ladies are not hard to get nor scarce, main issue for men are financial and long time of scarcity.
When a man has been exposed for too long to scarcity - inability to date for a very long time or no girlfriend for a very long time, it makes him appreciate little or no gifts or efforts from ladies and he is scared of losing a lady even if she is bad mannered. He is ready to manage or endure her.
He will be ready to take her bullshits.
Just a little kiss, he will always remember it or a little gift of singlet. He will remember the gesture for years. Something no one has ever given him.

You made strong points here. However, with the present alpha male gospel that's preached on social media, I want to believe a growing number of young Nigerian men are now aware of the inner strengths they have especially as their income status increases. It will take time tho and maybe na why some if not most of these men begin to "explore" immediately they get married because the attraction will now be more than they expected. It's something (immense and intense attraction from women) they've never experienced.

Fidelity2050:
Grow up. Leave tribal sentiments. Don't let ur education be a total waste. Anybody who challenges APC or doesn't agree with whatever policy they come up with, is automatically an Igbo? It's really embarrassing. You're not enlightened at all. Grow up!

Man, It's a terrible way to reason! I have never seen such brand of foolishness in a very long time.

SmartPolician:
God will never allow these islamic countries in the Gulf to become world power because we will all be in trouble if they do.

Imagine having all the money and never caring for people who live and work in your country because they are not your citizens. And they don't even make foreigners their citizens, no matter how long they live in their country.

Why should they? When did it become mandatory for foreigners to become citizens of any country? Did Gulf States say Nigeria shouldn't utilise its oil wealth the way they used theirs?

I think this attachee mentality is why most of you people are now against the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk for clamping down on open borders. The aspect of confering citizenship rights on non-natives or foreigners is a recent phenomenon. Countries guard their territorial privileges.

Gulf States have built themselves and if they decide not to offer citizenship privileges to foreigners or non-natives, but offer a place where the same foreigners can make money and live safely, good deal!

In Nigeria, non-indigenes cannot be governors (paternal lineage o) of the states they reside or were born in even if they are from the same ethnic group, but you want faraway Gulf States to dash you citizenship! Disgusting hypocrites!

The first two are wrong because those migrant workers aren't citizens and would never be in the future. Rather, they are well paid considering they earn more than what they do back home. If so, the British people working in the UK are also poorly paid because back home, they are paid less than in the Middle East. It's a skill issue not a wage problem. There are almost no income taxes in some of these Gulf States.

The average Qatari, Emirati and Saudi Arabian lives a comfortable life comparable to those in the West or East Asia.

Acidosis:
Does Nigeria really have a viable tech sector, or is it just people in tech-inscribed T-shirts with laptops hopping from one remote work hub to the next? I mean, our tech industry is basically a glorified game of "brilliant minds" with Wi-Fi.

When we're actually ready for a real tech industry, we'll be calling on the government to build a proper industrialised environment for real tech companies - think mobile phone manufacturers, satellite companies, robot factories - basically, places with actual addresses, not just free Wi-Fi and coffee.

How can we talk about a tech industry when we still import ordinary POS machines? What is you people's idea of tech? Free WiFi, website design, coding, and crypto? Walai, we are not ready.

As always, we always want to jump the process. How can we talk about modern day tech without proper industrialisation? After learning to code, what next? Look around you, apart from banks, who your coding help? Schools still struggling to pay minimum wage or market women??

This man

I like you.
