At the end of the day, he who is the piper plays the tune. (I am loving this phrase so much nowadays, and find it aptly justifying for so many things). Only a person can/will decide whoever they want to go for as they so wish, inspite of you and I's misgivings.

By the way, the word is eunoia; it's Greek. I don't know if it's a Nigerian thing that's making y'all think it's some adulterated or refined version of 'Eniola' or 'Niola.'

China has overtaken them. I would rather send my kids to go study in China than the US for example.

You don't want to send your son to school, then he comes back telling you how there are 100 genders lol.

Chai Bro people spend 20m to 30m.
Some times is not someone’s fault, it is the perception one has. Before I traveled , my guys that were here told me they were making over 5000 euros a month after bills, so I was so desperate. I finally got here to find out that they don’t even have apartment of their own and not to talk of 5000 euro a month. The only reason why I didn’t regret it was that i didn’t contribute one naira to my travelling expenses. Imagine me spending 20 to 30m to experience what I saw when I came here, I wouldn’t I have forgiven them.
If not for social media, no body in Nigeria would have known that abroad is just packaging.
That is y I tell those who want to come the truth, so that they will prepare themselves financially and mentally before travelling.
Imagine guys in their late 40s still not married, no child, in dis abroad. A man who is supposed to be a family man will still be sharing apartments because of bills.

ednut1:
why do you guys like to focus on the negatives Are there no Nigerian doctors, nurses, tech bros, auditors hired directly from Nigeria in UK. They didn’t spend 20-30m. Are they no Nigerian in big companies in Canada, USA, UAE, Germany, Belgium, Saudi etc.
Anyone who spent 20-30m for uk care work or study visa took a gamble that may or may not work. Their choice

Nigerian immigrants abroad are the most successful among other immigrants. It's a fact. It's your loser friends that are the minority

Oh so you have read this book by Jared Diamond?

Blessed4sure:
The Federal Government institutions can do much better, but a private institution coming tops is not necessarily a cause for shame.

Please browse the top five universities in the world. Most are private.

At least 8 of the top 10 universities in the USA are all privately owned.

Johncuppa:

You've not been around for a while.
Covenant university has been taken a lead and competing with federal universities since.

Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge are not advance secondary schools because they are private now.

bmaster2000:
None of Ibo's private or public universities makes it to the 10 ..and they will come here and boast about their education acumen ...and WAEC result performances......pls., is it with the WaEC result that miracle centres plenty pass real centres...

Where mercenaries are used in most of the centres ...we are seeing the product all over ...it can be evidently seen.

ChiefS:
Ranking is not always very accurate and does not reflect reality and true picture. The truth is that private universities devote a lot of time to documentation and tailor all their energies into coming tops in global rankings.

Many of the private universities are serviced by staff of Federal Universities as adjuncts.

Ranking can be misleading as it does not reflect the quality of teaching and impact of the products of the universities.

For instance, there is no way a university less than 20 years can match the impact of the University of Ibadan which has existed for more than 70 years and produced various global icons. The truth is that the research of many old or retired professors at such universities may not be available online.

SoNature:


Look at the yardstick used for ranking those universities. Private universities are supposed to be doing much better than public schools because they have enough funding to reach their goals. Educational institutions are useless without money.

I have to praise Covenant University for outpacing other private universities that started before them like Igbenedion University and Madonna University. Those two varsities are merely glorified secondary schools.

This is so black-and-white thinking that I don't even know where to start from, my God. 😭😭

Please, pardon my job references but I hope it's able to communicate my point across effectively.

Ormoretayour:

Vesti helped out with d job offer too, that what dey used for the lottery. They introduced me to the company that gave the offer.

Ormoretayour:

Vesti started the whole process from the lottery stage till getting the notice of selection.

CaveAdullam:



I do laugh when Blacks in the diaspora find pride in their works and achievements overseas, seeing it as an opportunity to rank on the same level as their European, Asian, or American counterparts. I'm glad of their achievements though. Happy for them. However, the White Man still dominates.

The White man is the template for Black's progress. It may not be so in the past. But that's the case now. And they can do to the Black race as they are currently doing. So what's the essence of the King Kong attitude?

We don't even care about nation-building and development as individuals. Everywhere you go in this country, you just see more reasons why the country will continue to remain in the dark. Hardly anyone thinks. Hardly anyone that's logical. Hardly anyone trying to make it work.
starts from the little we can do right now.

Thanks.

Good day all, Still H-1B visa category
I just signed up with an agent here in Nigeria called Vesti for H1B
Has anyone used their services before?
Please i need all necessary information to work with and the right questions to ask them.

Ormoretayour:
I got a notice from them that I was selected in the H1BLottery, next step is to pay $7k which have been doing finding abt them if it's real or scam. Please anyone on this track too.

Just signed up too, waiting to hear about them

Thank you for noting this - but the effects extend far beyond these. No culture dwelling in such hot parts will develop technologies which have at their root the search for heat. The search for heat in itself is a thing that will very naturally trigger the development of much technology which is heat based and heat reliant. And aside from this, the existence of something such as winter alone, imposes a rigor to planning without which a people would simply die off. Entirely. There is a simple saying that summarizes this: necessity is the mother of invention and that also tells us why there is a spike in inventions during times of war.

I also mentioned geography and one thing that should be noted is the way the developed nations of the world are all placed along certain latitudes on the Earth. They are almost all entirely within the temperate zones of the Earth horizontally, from the East end of Russia all the way to the West End of Canada - they fall within a certain geographical band. This is enough to trigger thinking persons towards understanding the reasons for certain things - and aside from this, the geography of that band permitted much movement and trade in ave the lowest IQ and in this, please be wary of IQ tests which are knowledge based because knowledge is not the same thing as intelligence. Also be careful enough to consider socio-economic factors in your assessment because children from hungry and deprived homes are certainly less likely to excel in school than well fed children from comfortable homes who have access to the best educational tools.

wirinet:


Yes, Europe was stagnant for 1000 years, but it was not retrogressing. This was mainly due to religious and political conflicts that were rife at he retrogressing as a race and unable to build prosperous and stable societies.
The most annoying to me are Haiti, Guyana and Jamaica. Countries that were handed over to blacks to develop in the middle of the Americas, and we made a mess of them.

IbeOkehie:


(1) I agree with you. No dispute.

I want to ask though, what is QUALITY that you imply? If a tribe or race PREFERS to wallow in poverty, or is ignorant of what better prospects are out there, that shouldn't be a problem. Does that constitute a negative?

(2) Such a tripartite nation would NOT be stable at all if it's a democracy. That's for sure.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Raalsalghul:


Can I get a screenshot of the tweet, the one by Paul Graham. Been going through his X profile, definitely a controversial figure.

But in all honesty, you don't need to go through his profile to know their thoughts towards us.

It's as simple as looking for a topic or an article on immigration, then read the comments below to reveal what they're thinking. Helped me enough to guide my interactions with them.

nearline:

Japanese housewives literally receive their husbands’ salaries and determine what goes to the hands of the husbands. They have no choice but to prefer being housewives.

toujurs:
Greed and inferiority are black people problem

Black women have an entitled mentality unlike white women who work and believe in gender equality, a typical black woman prefers her position is in the kitchen and bedroom. As long as the man is rich. A Fulfillment marrying who has money.

Raalsalghul:


Well written Cave and I share the same thoughts as you but the most annoying thing about this after coming to the realization of how low the IQ of the black race is the fact that you have no control over your being black and that you might be the only one in the midst of a billion souls who's only come to this knowledge and enlightenment.

Most Black Africans from my own observation simply do not care and would rather give in to carnal desires rather than ponder on how to improve their race. It's all man for himself. The whites do not think like that.

Furthermore, I have also written on how I am reluctant to reproduce as a Black African person because there is no leverage to my offspring to succeed in this world where we are at the bottom of the pyramid.

I have lived with white people, I have worked with white people.

I have white folks as my friends.

I have studied them, how they think, their mentality and mindset, their preference for using logic rather than emotions or sentiments in dealing with issues, their inclusive thinking to nation buildings, their perchance for meritocracy, their immediate urge to look for a solution when something goes wrong and learn from it, their formulation of laws and swiftness to punish those who disobey them, their lazy approach to work and life which in turn makes them creative and come up/build on technology to make life easier for them, their respect of people's choices and way of life so long as it's legal and in line with the law.

CaveAdullam:


African elites are dumb. They represent a larger percentage of low IQ. Hence, rather than unite at both national and Continental levels, to improve the state of their country and continent respectively, they will decide to spend it lavishly or look for a soakaway to store their money.

Yes, of course, many do have investments here and there, both domestic and international. But the point is that they don't see a need to use their position as a medium to develop their nations.

It's elites that rule and run a country; politicians are their puppeteers, from the presidential seat to the last civil servant.

However, they would rather catch a cruise or use their position to oppress the common man. See Erisco as an example.

It was American elites: Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie, Morgan, etc. that built America. Wealthy men who in a competition to become the most richest and powerful man in America used goods, services, and creativity to better their nation.

Another thing is that from observation most elites believe the country is gone. Especially those that are not too close to the corridors of power and politics. If they've lost hope in the state of the nation, their lackadaisical attitude can't be far-fetched.

PS: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell keeps popping up these days. It's high time I go read it. Funny enough, I won it as a gift prize from Rovenheights bookstore but haven't been able to go pick it up.

PureFace1:
The same El Rufai that Igbo called a terrorist and accused of aiding genocide against southern kaduna people is the one they are now clamoring for to ally with their Agulu messiah out of desperate bid to get a president from their region, they forgot how Peter Obi confined El rufai in an hotel in Anambra during a guber election, Peter Obi could have established better relationship with northerners if he was nice to them from the beginning instead of the pretentious act he is doing now and running helter skelter over the north for validation, he think northerners are stupid.

out of desperation to get northern votes.

The legendary obstetrician and gynaecologist, Professor Tiamiyu Belo-Osagie, worked at the Military Hospital, Lagos and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital on his return from the United States.

He set up his medical practice, the Osagie Medical Centre, in the 1960s (that's where he delivered my brother).

He moved to Benin in the 1970s, where he established the University of Benin Teaching Hospital. He worked (at various times) as Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Provost of the College of Medical Sciences at the University of Benin between 1972 and 1979.

He was the personal physician to the President of Nigeria in the 1980s. In this position he was involved in the births of Saudatu Shehu Shagari in 1981 and Halima Babangida in 1989.

Professor Tiamiyu Belo-Osagie returned to the Osagie Medical Centre in the 1990s where he was in high demand.


Away from the medical world, he also served as the chairman of Societe General Bank and was on the board of many companies. He was the father of Hakeem Belo-Osagie who is a former chairman of UBA (Keem Belo-Osagie started out as a special assistant to President Shagari). He recieved the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) in 1982.

Professor Tiamiyu Belo-Osagie died in March 2005.
Hakeem Belo-Osagie is the son of Professor Tiamiyu Belo-Osagie. He attended Harvard University and worked as an assistant to Presidents Shagari and Babangida.

He has served as chairman of the boards of the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Etisalat Nigeria and Chocolate City Records.

@ labake1

s.

The instruction code, from my research is totally serious and it takes mentally strong personae to resist the instruct set that alerts men to mate at the sight of a mature female. And it has been programmed so dangerously precise that if you resist the instruction to mate for decades, then men develop a form of cancer in their sex organs which is a direct consequence of not ejaculating the sperm when the instruction packet was sent.

What I am stating in essence, from my findings, is that the designers of humans, actually programmed men to mate or die. This is not about morality, so I can not question the designers of humans, but I can only tell them that this is a great curse to men cos sex is getting expensive and too regulated.

My assumption is that a man needs 4 wives or a wife and 3 concubines to really thrive but it is too tough on us men. I personally do not have the desire for such things, but I know these are facts. Sometimes women think sex is fun, hell no, most times we are fulfilling pressure instructions to mate.

Acidosis:


n you, who will?

When men want faithfulness or a faithful woman for marriage, they don't tag video vixens, Nollywood actresses or Big Brother Naija women (call it stereotype, but that's the reality). You'll always find men on Nairaland, demanding virginity and all.

You all (women) should raise the moral standard too. It is not everyday steeze or money. If we have more women demanding virginity from men, things would be better. I mean, see how men are generally sitting up and calling for paternity test lately. What are you (women) doing in return? Telling a cheating man to stop cheating is already too late. An effort in futility.

When there are no known incentives for the male gender's morality, expect nothing but absolute unfaithfulness.
