SocialJustice:And I stated it here: https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-more-indians-own-property-in-london-than-the-english-heres-why-indians-buy-property-in-uk-2652960/You think I did not read my sources before posting them? |
tensazangetsu20:Most of our people think in the short term. Also, maybe he was trying to move to English-speaking countries within that period, but calculated the costs of relocation. Which begs the question, why now when he is almost 50? At 35? Yes. Not now. Terrible move. Even if the firm offers him L1 visa transfer (an assumption), he will lose the social capital he has built over time and sense of stability. Well, the koko for folks in non-English speaking countries, especially places where okay jobs aren't available for the natives in particular is to birth their children in Anglophone countries. Most importantly, the use of the English language should be mandatory. I hope those Igbo fellas who lampooned us for emphasising English over Igbo for diasporans have realised why some languages are more important than others. My leader!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() |
tensazangetsu20:My leader🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 I am loyal to your gofment! |
exnovio:You are almost 50 and close to retirement. How much do you think your pension would be in Spain when you leave and in Ireland when you leave the workforce? Do you have a signed job offer from a company in Ireland? What kind of skills do you have to present to Irish firms that there is no substitute from elsewhere? As a man who has toiled so hard for 19 years, I strongly state that you have to enjoy your hard work without disrupting yourself again for another relocation sojourn. Relocation is hard anywhere and by moving here and there, you lose the social capital you have built only to rebuild in your new location. You do this when the money is plenty, not when you are average. This is akin to a company with limited capital opening branches here and there when it has not conquered its home environment. As for your kids, English MUST be the only language spoken at home, no ifs or buts. Even if you were Chinese or Arab, this is the same policy to enact. English is the world's global language for business and studies. To prepare them for the next decade, ensure they get the best education, especially mathematics-based, in Spain. When it is time for university, they should focus only on American universities. Get them prepped for SAT and TOEFL. In the application process, they should choose the option of Black/African regardless of their nationality. With a high SAT score, scholarships are plentiful. In life, you have to use other people's money to leverage and advance to the next level. In this case, their intellect is the collateral. Remember to ensure they choose Black/African American in the application process. Hopefully, they have Spanish nationality to ease visa issues. I say this because Spain no get work for their natives, which is why they move in droves to Germany, Austria and Switzerland after graduation to search for good jobs. Let alone black children. Yes, the UK is the best place in Europe for blacks to thrive, but no country on earth, not even in sub-Saharan Africa - home to black people - defeats the USA. That is the only place where blacks, both professional and blue-collar, thrive economically. Your children must not have Europe as the only option, especially as they are black. You have done well for yourself and your family. At this point, don't overstretch yourself. When the time is right, the children should do that for themselves. You have offered them the bed, let them search for the pillow. |
hammed71:The second time this question has been asked on this thread. |
Papilagreen:The reason Americans don't have up to that amount saved has been explained below: Kenn55:That said, it is always interesting how you people reel out expenses but never earnings. Dem dey owe una salary for there? Una no dey earn money wey una dey spend? Why the focus on expenses but not earnings? Do you spend out of thin air? Also, if the US is so bad, how come Nigerians in the US are the biggest buyers of real estate in Nigeria? Yes, Nigerians abroad especially those in the US purchase more real estate assets in Nigeria than Nigerians in Nigeria. https://businessday.ng/real-estate/article/70-of-nigerias-real-estate-investment-from-diaspora-expert/#:~:text=%E2%80%9COur%20recent%20survey%20shows%20that,Limited%20said%20at%20the%20event. |
Papilagreen:The man you quoted can enter the US tomorrow if he wishes. Regarding the bold, I hope you don't deactivate. Some of us would come here after 5 years to narrate our experiences. People need to see things from both sides of the coin. Is it not the US? We go enter that country. The United States remains the best place for any black person to thrive economically, legal or illegal resident. |
It is even more interesting that the OP is a notorious miscreant who has characterised Nigerian girls as useless, but look at where he intends to migrate to? ![]() The "useless" Nigerian girls are migrating to the UK as nurses and carers, but our resident "Nigerian girls are useless" advocate intends to travel to Liberia. Certainly not for tourism. Who goes to Liberia for tourism when Ghana and Ivory Coast are nearby? Or you think Liberian girls are more useful than their Nigerian counterparts? Well, as I stated six years ago: Gerrard59:I have always known such people to be innately useless. I am not surprised by their outcomes. |
MrEverest:That is how they go there and after seeing that the country is worse than Nigeria, they blame an innocent Tinubu. Why would a Nigerian move to Liberia to ride Keke? What happened to moving to another state to do the same thing? No need for language or major cultural differences. No need for residency document issues. It is simply the same country, just a change of location without the need for passport issuances. Why not ride in Gombe or Kwara? He would need a residence permit to operate in Cameroon but not Taraba. Anyway, my Oga has stated it, Liberia is the sh!tholes of sh!tholes. Fine, Nigeria has its issues, but some countries in the continent are way worse than Nigeria. |
IyfeNamikaze:Sure, and it is largely because of the history between Nigeria and Igbos. The interesting thing is, even if a "detribalised" Igbo does act deliberately naive about the history, events in the country would ALWAYS remind the person of his/her place in Nigeria. Chinua Achebe stated it: “Nigerians will probably achieve consensus on no other matter than their common resentment of the Igbo.” Recent events have proved that statement to be true. Just as killings pre-independence have done the same. I became aware during the 2011 elections, especially the aftermath, and the events leading to the 2015 elections coupled with its aftermath. It is why I was not fazed by the events of 2019 and 2023. Sometimes, when I read about events in Nigeria, I just smile. I have seen it from the end: https://www.nairaland.com/7621766/tinubus-nigeria-nigeria-2050 Nothing surprises me anymore. Other ethnic groups, especially ethnic minorities might feel powerless, but they too are feeling it. P.S. A "detribalised Nigerian" is an oxymoron. My brother China is making me proud the way they're not bending over backwards for US and their NATO lackey and I also like that Russia seems to not give a damn! Britain and USA are all big hypocrites there's not a single crime against humanity that these two haven't committed in history of man, and none of them have ever been punished, sanctioned or criticized for it. All their sanctions and propaganda are aimed at Russia,Oh! As for China, I am PROUD of them and their steadfastness in ensuring they develop without kowtowing to anyone. This is being discussed here: https://www.nairaland.com/7801886/multipolarism-versus-hegemonism-great-power It is an ongoing thread and I have contributed my share. It is informative and an eye-opener. Before the Ukrainian-Russian war, I was not interested or I was ignorant of the hypocritical moves by the West. But now? Nothing they say surprises me. I am glad to have seen things from different angles. the same Russia that saved the entire western Europe by sacrificing thousands of their men on the battlefield in WW1 to stop the advancing German from strolling into Paris. Russia although being ill equipped still made the sacrifice and when their death toll became astronomically High they asked for the west's reinforcement but they were abandoned and left to die like rats, most of the Russian soldiers went into that battle empty handed, they had no guns or rifles, still they fought on . Most Russians became tired of the war and wanted to sign out from the war but these same western Europe would not allow them to that. Russians kept getting slaughtered until they had enough and caused a coup which overthrew the government and the soviets, which was dominated by the Bolsheviks under Lenin took power and immediately signed a peace agreement with Germany which led the West to start printing propaganda articles in unprintable words in the media against the new Russia government. Hypocrites, na propaganda them Sabi write.Thanks for the summary of the events during WW1. Although, I would love to read about Europe's history, I want to commence from Nigeria's then Africa. You have done well in rooting yourself in history. |
SocialJustice:The first two links clearly state London. Or did you see Osapa in front of it? |
Even though 50 out of 30 Igbo women are feminists while 140 out 100 are lesbians, one cannot doubt that Igbo women aren't beautiful. They really are beautiful. Beautiful pictures. |
flokii:So, hosting an ethnic festival celebrating one's culture is now a bad thing? When there is Notting Hill festival, does it mean blacks want to takeover the UK? Well, I'm not surprised by the majority of the disgusting comments. I blame the naive and largely ignorant Igbos who don't understand Nigeria for what's, but rather what they think it's. |
SocialJustice:https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-more-indians-own-property-in-london-than-the-english-heres-why-indians-buy-property-in-uk-2652960/ The majority of the Indians who own the properties are naturalised British citizens, aka natives in the eyes of the law. https://www.showhouse.co.uk/foreign-buyers-make-up-over-40-of-londons-prime-property-market/ Not up to 50%. Again, British citizens, this time English people by ethnicity, own more land in the UK than any other group. https://abcfinance.co.uk/blog/who-owns-the-uk/ |
SimpleGuy001:No idea. Even when I was in the industry (recruitment), I had no idea. |
Cassandraloius:Yes! Nigerians deserve whatever they're going through. They campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. They should live with their decisions! Organise an election today: Tinubu would win free and fair. So, whatever Nigerians see, let them take it like that! |
SocialJustice:Oh! Yes, the great socialjustice, tell us one place in the world where non-natives own a greater share of real estate assets than natives? You people come online to spew mumbo-jumbo crap as if it is your parlour! |
Thank God for the Internet and social media. Some nonsense which have been happening would be reduced or eradicated since evidence go plenty. Show workings have curtailed some of the madness most of you charlatans display in Nigeria. |
Quite okay to restrict physical access so as to not compromise the affected area, but to threaten and harass them to the extent of wanting to delete videos? C'mon! Well, I already know my stance regarding the Nigerian Church, especially in the South. |
SocialJustice:Oga, non-natives cannot own more land than natives. It is not possible. Except in the Gulf States like the UAE, there is nowhere which has more non-natives than natives. |
winner37:Thank you. My modus operandi has always been making the woman cum first. It is easy for a man to cum anytime during sex. |
Mercisharelove:The moment you create a thread aside from the diary section, it becomes everyone's business. It is the Internet, not your papa house. That said, you said this: A beautiful lady I encounter earlier today was complaining bitterly how she gave her all just to make him feel high, at the end of the day, the guy blocked her because she couldn't meet up the demands of 3 someHow did she give her all but because she could not meet the demands of a three.some, then the relationship broke? What then defines "gives her all to make him feel high"? |
SocialJustice:It is simple mathematics: there are more indigenes in every country/regio than non-indigenes. So, how can more non-indigenes own a greater share of real estate compared to the natives? P.S. Every country is tribal. Humans are tribal beings. Even animals are tribal. The difference between theirs and ours is those people have money. Nigeria's tribalism is worse because the people doing it are poor. Being poor and tribalistic is very disgusting. If you must be tribalistic, have money, plenty of it. |
In the earlier pages of this thread, there was this discourse that the MEXT Scholarship is based on man know man, aka nepotism and mago mago. Well, from my experiences so far and interactions, I advised future readers and would-be MEXT Scholar applicants to disregard those words. The MEXT scholarship, whether Embassy or University recommendation, is highly competitive and one the rarest scholarships which pay for everything from flight ticket to tuition to stipend to return ticket if you wish to return home. It is not common anywhere in the world. Only the Commonwealth Scholarship by the British government comes close in similar benefits. That too is biased towards first class graduates. This post is hinged on Embassy Recommendation as it is more competitive than University Recommendation even though the metrics are almost the same. First, if you don't have a first class, it would be tough as most MEXT Scholars I have come across from Nigeria have first class. The ones who have 2.1. have it above 4.0, aka strong 2.1., and one even had a distinction in his MSc from his alma mater. Even from other African countries, they have a first class and/or cognate work experience. One worked with PwC in his country before his MSc in Economics. A cursory look on LinkedIn with the search phrase: "MEXT Scholar + Nigeria or any notable Nigerian University" would bring out the results: almost all had a first class. So, first class graduates get an advantage over others. To out-bid them, cognate work experience is vital. |
Some universities have a certain kind of seal on the original certificate which could be scanned to verify its veracity. |
Musauzor:The post you quoted was a mere observation, which is accurate anyway. That said, Igbos do not dominate real estate ownership in different parts of Nigeria, except the East. How can non-indigenes dominate real estate ownership more than actual indigenes? That is not possible anywhere in the world. Natives own lands more than non-natives. |
The methodology for assessing what an estate is does not exist in the article. So, how do you judge how big an estate is and what exactly it is? Typical Nigerian illogical way of assessing metrics. |
Karleb:She worked and invested in the firm during its early days. |
The premise that Nigerians, especially recent japarians don't or rarely attend churches is not entirely true. Judging from Nigerian pastors' conferences and gatherings, the attendance numbers are very high and the venues are always filled. In Canada and the UK, church attendance increased largely due to recent migrants from Africa and the Philippines. Additionally, for most recent first-generation migrants, the Church is the closest replica to home and a good place to dwell amongst their kindred and commune/socialise in a familiar environment. However, as years go by and these migrants acclimatise to their host countries, they gradually reduce their attendance, and this continues to the second generation. Compare those who emigrated during 2005 - 2010 to post-Covid. |
IyfeNamikaze:As I suspected, I am Igbo as well. So, you see, the interest in Nigeria's history differs depending one's ethnicity. Indeed it's simply just to balance the accounting books that led to Nigeria existence. There's no other deeper reason. In 1900 Britain created TWO countries with similar sounding names, The protectorate of Northern Nigeria and The protectorate of Southern Nigeria, and for 14 yrs these two countries had separate government, different colonial personal, legal systems, land tenur laws, different Educational policy and commissioners. Lugard was the commissioner for Northern protection while Ralph Moor was for the South, yet herein lies the irony of all these, Goldie was a strong advocate for the amalgamation had this to say concerning the two separate countries " The two countries are as widely separated in laws, government, customs and general ideas about life, both in This world and the next, as England is from China ". Ponder on those words for a minute. They did their amalgamation anyway because it made their books look better.The colonial masters were wicked and brutal just like their cousins who championed the slave trade in the US. It is one of the reasons I support the rise of a strong and wealthy China 'cos as it is, we don't have the wherewithal to avenge. Let China do it on everyone's behalf. |
It seems the best way to run a profitable factory in Nigeria is to have Indians as its managers. ![]() Great idea! |
tensazangetsu20:The government dey follow pay gay men stipends? Damn! You should have informed since na. I love the breasts of men. Chilean men get big breasts? ![]() |
