You wicked o.

I am curious, what proportion of black working-class individuals do you see working/living in Cambridge? The biotech/tech scene there and environs?

flokii:
Ogun State has more Oil and even gas deposits than the entire South East region.
Let exploration commence fully and you'd marvel.

You think South West isn't blessed with natural resources??

Tongeji island in Ikpokia, Olokola and some other parts have Oil in huge quantities.

That is a lie. You APC miscreants lie a lot on this forum!

dvkot:
I really love this timeline we are in, which is exposing the hypocrisy of the west and their double standards

You arrest people for what they post online and yet you go around the world clamoring for freedom of speech and democracy 😂

There is more freedom in Iran than in the UK but a lot of people don't know this.

You police the information your people can receive and yet you condemn Iran and the rest for doing the same.

You arm nation to destroy a population of people that have no air defense and military and yet you condemn Russia

You claim Hamas is a terrorist group and still yet you fund anti-government terrorists groups in Syria and Iran.

You back the arrest of Putin for moving children out of warzone and yet you condemn the arrest of someone deliberately killing children.

I don't really blame the west to be honest I blame countries and people that allows themselves to be a pawn In their hands

Brainwashing is very strong. However, as other economies grow in prominence, population and breadth, plus the West engaging in culture wars, we will see less indoctrination in the future.

Nigeria has toilet elites! Both private and public sectors

SuperOnyi:


Did I read this right? An ancient site destroyed and replaced with a new statute of Jesus? A site that is capable of generating wealth for generations? It wasn't even moved but destroyed entirely yet the statute of Alexander the great a pagan still stands today?

There's something fundamentally wrong with the way a black man thinks, no matter how religious you are, if in deed that site has existed for hundreds of years, common sense should let you know that this is a bad move.

But what do you expect in a country where tourism especially in the countryside is dead and crude oil is still being held on like a child holding onto his mother's bréast? Black folks have successfully destroyed their identity because they do not understand how to give to Caesar what belongs to him, that's why these afrocentrists are bent on holding onto ancient civilizations to make themselves feel better.

It is a Nigerian thing because East and Southern Africans won't behave in such a manner. Even African Americans would not. We should stop labelling everything ill Nigerians do on the entire race.

This is true. Billiionaires who made their wealth from hotels and general hospitality industry spend differently from those who made theirs through semiconductors' parts and chemicals. Those ones behave differently from their software technology counterparts. Even crude oil billionaires behave differently from palm oil billionaires.

Auxtan:
Zuckerberg became a billionaire in his 20s but remained a simple man till date.

Someone who bought his neigbours' homes just to have a bigger space is not a simple person. The belief that everyone must behave in a particular way is why you people believe there are no billionaires who live extravagant lifestyles. The billionaire behind Oracle Inc is known for buying off islands and hosting private parties, but people in West Africa believe billionaires don't show-off. Their concept of showing off differs from yours, that is all.

@POST: Whether someone show-offs or not, especially for those in the entertainment industry, you should be less bothered provided the source of wealth is legit.

I am talking of your naira account not a dollar account. Y[b]ou don't need a dollar account to receive money in Chile with a swift code.[/b] The bank automatically converts the money to pesos in your account.

That was actually how I receive payment for my writing gig then. Send the bank SWIFT's and ABA details to the sender who pays through his/her bank. The funds get converted automatically when in your account. Please the correct SWIFT details of that particular branch.

World Remit no dey work for that side?

What of software engineering

It is still very good. Just don't participate in a 5-year program when there are 4-year alternatives leading to the same destination.

You also need nukes, because that is the only thing the west truly fears, and then you can negotiate your interest on an equal footings. Otheriwse, it will be impossible be truly sovereign if you cant protect yourself, and having the means to nuke any country in any part of the world

Paul just like Ruto speaks from both sides of his mouth. The same man who has worked with the UK and then Denmark in receiving migrants says we should not depend on Western currencies.

Be like say na East African thing...At least Tinubu is consistent.

tensazangetsu20:
I for one can't live in Nigeria anymore. I don't think I can survive without constant electricity. I will go crazy. Also, opportunities are closed off to Nigerians. Saw a job opening that paid six figures online yesterday and Nigerians and Pakistanis were excluded from applying. Ukraine that is even at war has more jobs than Nigeria. I have Ukrainian recruiters in my dm here.

Wow!

I wonder what made them bar Nigerians. I am curious, would the possession of another passport change things? Assuming the person resides in Nigeria or even in the abroad.

tensazangetsu20:
Story for the gods

We have had many of his type on this thread - praise Nigeria, but are proud of residing in the White man's country or are fighting tooth and nail to move there. No be today!

Most in the UK no wan do return as Sunak wants them to or those in the US are ready to stay put till at least Green Card. What of their elites? ALL have their children studying and residing abroad. Na mumu dey listen to these patriotic miscreants who don't practice what they or their leaders preach!

Tchinaidi:
But on a serious note a vast majority of Naija men are just simps..you let a girl online and na phone straight..wtf

But they keep denying it and blaming the girls for everything. When one says men are the cause of these imbalances, they complain.

Some women and their entitlement mentality. One here.. we were still at talking stage. We've been talking and interest was building at both ends. Then, God revealed her true colour to me in a miraculous way. Her on the day of her birthday, i sent her an early morning birthday wishes and she responded with her account number and I'm expecting my birthday gift right now.

I ghosted her straight. No be you go tell me wetin i go do.

I understand you both were in talking stage, but I am very wary of sending birthday felicitations to girls back home. In fact, I don't comment or like any post. I just view and pass.

LordAdam16:
You can nudge someone in the right direction, but you can't push them all the way.

Egypt was one of the 5 OG MNNAs. Granted, the 4 others MNNAs selected in 1987--Australia, Israel, Japan, and South Korea--were already industrialized at the time. However, if you compare the sociopolitical history and trajectory since, only one sticks out like a sore thumb.


If you want your 4-day work week, one month of vacation, world-leading QOL, and less than 2% in peacetime defense spending (https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2021/3/pdf/210316-pr-2020-30-en.pdf); you can't really be talking about "pain". Because you're freeloading off the rest of the planet.

Kenya gets to choose how they want to play it.
Do they want to be a Poland / Germany / Netherlands or do they want to become one of the Southern hollow giants or one of the Central/East European chihuahuas. Their choice.
The wild card remains the Kenyan elite. Can they pull off the high-stakes, high-reward maneuvers necessary to bring this home? 🤷‍♂️

-Lord

Honestly, this is more than brilliant! The bold and last statement summarises it all: I will rather be a Netherlands than Belarus. You also in a way explained the benefits of aligning with the US. I do read wordings similar to yours from White Americans, but as na Nigerian write am, it resonates or would I say, I understand it better. The ball is in the court of Kenyan elites.

Once again, well done!

guobe:
For real. You mean those interviews were fake?

Whether the interviews are real or not, I cannot say. But their respondents are skewed to the Lagos and maybe Abuja environs. Nigeria does not start in Lagos and ends in Abuja. There is more to Nigeria than both places.

It seems there is so much hunger in Nigeria. Wow! I never thought things were this bad. Instagram people don deceive me tire. Well, that is why I love Nairaland - the real Nigeria is here.

Good luck to those involved.

guobe:
As at 2022

Zikoko does not most times share the views of the average Nigerian.

Except the process has changed from the usual Dragnet, SHL, PLI and whatever Workforce uses. Then, the usual group discussions and assessment centre exercises, then the first, second and maybe final interview (depending on the firm). Multinationals like ExxonMobil and McKinsey are different as they are more global in their assessment processes.

Abi the process don change?

The issue is a poor economy and too many people. Nigeria is too populated for an economy that is not growing fast as India (graduates complain there too) and Indonesia. Even fresh graduates from Chinese universities complain of the pains involved in job hunting, the reason they move to Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Singapore and take advantage of fewer people and cultural/linguistic similarities.

My advice is to hone your aptitude test skills because that is where a large number of applicants are screened out. Hone it very well, because without acing at least 5 out of 10 tests, e go hard o.

Nazgul:
They do have light. Read his post again, he said they they buy 4 units for 1k which means they're on band A. And last time I checked, band A enjoys almost 20 hours of uninterrupted power supply.

The blackout might be coming from his folks who are trying to manage their units by turning on their meter for a few hours per day.

Thanks for the explanation.

boringdraw:
Power has shifted in Rivers.
With Odili on his side, it will be easy to bring Rotimi Amaechi in and even the Omeya that Wike hated so much.
Wike will be up against a formidable force come 2027. His only chance of relevance is to stay loyal to Tinubu and hope he gets rewarded with a ministerial position beyond 2027 if Tinubu wins.

LOL!

Tinubu would rather die than lose in 2027. Man is the president till 2031.

tensazangetsu20:
2 to 3 months interview on top cleaning job . You gotta hand it to the Brits. They are the most cunning white people ever.

Agreed. No wonder they conquered the world.

At least those in Continental Europe make it clear that they don't want black Africans in certain roles.

Kaczynski:
Computer engineering exists bruh

Five years. Leaving the system early enough is important.

Mathematics and Physics offer more learning opportunities for algorithms and data structures.

Computer engineering comes across as a course needed for jobs in the hardware side, of which there are very few companies and salaries are lower.

tensazangetsu20:
Thats what one of them said here. That over 154 people interviewed for a cleaning job that they needed one person. Job that you can enter chile as even an illegal immigrant and get the next day

One reading those terms would think niggas want to work for McKinsey.

Jokes apart, a cleaning job is one of the easiest and undercover job any unskilled and even illegal migrant should be able to get. It does not need much interviewing - just name and you gree, abi you no gree?

Treadway:
you see what I was saying. When your countrymen/country keep showing up in the news negatively like this, patterns form, conclusions are made, and repercussions come

First it was highest dependent to student ratio
Then Emdee Tiamiyu
Now cumulatively tens of thousands of Nigerian students across universities being unable to pay up fees

I foresee Nigerian students being shadow-blocked by a good number of UK universities in the very near future.

Not a good look at all.

The mushroom universities would admit easily, but the Russell group of universities would apply extra scrutiny and maybe demand for a blocked account (exclu. scholarship students). It is not easy to say no to Nigerian students. After India and Pakistan, we send the most number of students to the UK. I consider China a different case as the majority are undergraduates and they pay cash. Big people. Too much money. How much is money for Ndi Chinese?

tensazangetsu20:
A whole lot of them in the UK actually voted and supported tinubu. Some were even laughing and mocking me on my Chilean thread then. Chile wey better pass UK by far . Imagine asking for UK experience to clean floor as if we no get floor for Nigeria

Still surprises me that a thorough interview is held, and UK experience is required for applicants who want to clean floors and toilets.

Damn it!

tensazangetsu20:
At 14, I will focus on being good at algorithms. Probably If you get good enough within the next few years, you can go represent Nigeria at the international Olympiads for informatics and probably be able to get into an ivy league university.

Self-sponsorship because the same National Mathematical Foundation organises all events for International Olympiads in Nigeria. If that of mathematics can be scrapped, what is informatics ni?

programiz:
Learn programming in Nigeria is really challenging and i would like to hear from you guy.
I have issues since i was 13 years old but now am 14, issues are:
A. low internet access - i can get internet only 2 or 3 times in a month, and it only last for 2 hours maxium
B. Electricity issue - especially now that am in Gombe there is no light at all. 4units = 1000naira

I always thought Gombe was that state which enjoys almost 24/7 electricity, especially as it is in the north. Follow the advise by Nazgul. Also, when seeking admission, choose either Mathematics, Physics or Computer Science. Don't go for any engineering course except Elect/Elect. The rest have little bearing with software engineering. Also, the first three are slated for four years, engineering is five years. The earlier you leave the system, the better.

tensazangetsu20:
Tinubu go give them wotowoto if they come back o

Bro, there is nothing wrong with returning to Nigeria if the abroad becomes so tough. Life as an illegal immigrant anywhere in the abroad, especially in Europe and Asia, can be so miserable. However, if such persons campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015, I would support them to be illegal migrants.

folake4u:
Lol. The price is quite fair.

Tomatoes is VERY expensive these days and anybody able to afford it suppose carry Police escort follow body.

The country don change within such a short period. What I read and see gets me confused.

doggedfighter:
Exactly !

One should be careful eating stew outside now except for maybe big hotels and eateries because in times like this one can't be too sure.

Na true. Na wetin enter my mind because businesses would compromise quality.

Jman06:
That's not true! There lots of lands in the east to farm!

The southeast is densely populated. Look at the satellite maps from foreign agencies. To produce enough food for Igbos to consume, there needs to be large swathes of land. Also, the southeast cannot produce all its food. Please check the meaning of comparative advantage. Generally, countries with a large percentage of its population as farmers are poor. Industry and services are the most important aspects of a thriving economy.

The problem is attitudinal. Most of the youths there consider farming as condescending and would rather pay through the nose to buy food than farm.

Nothing wrong with it. So far they have the money to purchase that food, good. Economies that produce those foods have a wealthy customer base. A large land mass Indonesia is happily supplying food to land short-changed, but wealthy Singapore.

This is basic economics.

jayce232:
Are u in Abuja??
You people just come online to comment nonsense. I bought almost same quantity of tomatoes on Sunday same as that of op for 1500. I almost thought my seller was cheating me till i priced round the market & discovered his own was even cheaper. Tomatoes is very expensive in Abuja right now.

To think Abuja is in the north where such items should be cheaper.
