ExpressBooking:


First thing is to book an appointment with Drogheda GNIB for IRP registration. The GNIB is located at Drogheda Garda Station, behind the District Court. Then she has to apply online to Intreo office for her PPS number and when she has it, she can visit Drogheda Intreo office opposite scotch Hall shopping centre, Marsh Road, Drogheda to apply for Public Services Card.

She equally needs to register online on leapcard website to get her leap card for bus services. For bank accounts, depending on where she lives, options ranges from PTSB, BOI and AIB banks. She can equally register for Revolut or Transfer Wise when she gets her IRP.

There is African shop(Abbey shop) at the entrance of the district court by the town centre there and one again (Noor shop) by the side of Louth County Council office on Laurence Street I guess.

For cheap clothing and wears, Penneys(Primark) on Francis Street and Dunnes Stores at scotch Hall shopping center to the rescue.
For Telephone calls and mobile data she can get a quick fix in Lycamobile, but must have to change to eir, Vodafone, Tesco mobile, 3, or something else later.

If she lives close to Tesco or Lidl, she can register for Tesco clubcard or Lidl plus to get points on her purchases which can be used as voucher in the future.

While doing this she will get to meet with other people as well and integrate

If it is as bad as this, everybody would have run out of UK for long. In America that you used as example, you don't have access to free medicare like in UK and other European countries. The welfare benefits in UK and other European countries far outweigh that of America. Nigerians who visit from UK to Nigeria don't even spend more than three weeks before they run back, if it was as bad as that, why them dey run comot like that?

Please I need advise

I got a PhD in Germany which comes with several gadgets (laptop, desktop, phone, flight coverage, residency option etc) and huge salary. At the same time, I got a PhD offer in the USA with a research assistantship.
The salary in Germany is 1.8 times the one in the USA
USA PhD will take me 5yrs to complete while Germany will take me 3yrs
The course from German directly aligns with my interest while I'm gonna be picking up another field in the USA, all in Engineering.

Which one will you advise me to go for?




I live in Germany. Bro, you can not do that phD in 3 years. Even the average masters degree is 2.5 years.

In all aspects but one, the phD in Germany would do you better. The probability of getting a suitable job after your phD is less than 1/2.

Please who has been able to do this ascp registration , I need little clarification on the documents to submit, centers in Nigeria where to take the exam and exam fee? Anticipating a kind response, thanks.

Please sir, if you have established yourself (i.e good job, house and assets), I beg of you not to come to Naija to find a wife.
You are best of finding someone over there who knows how you have to struggle to achieve what you have.
A high proportion of women that go abroad, as a result of marraige, to an established environment are the worst behaved.
If you are not established, no wahala, take a wife and you can both struggle together to make it. If you are, your best bet is to find a woman without papers over there who will fully appreciate what she has come into having seen the other side of
things.
A word is enough for the wise, don't add yourself to the group of people that regularly tell their stories of regret.

Of late, much has been said of how Nigerian ladies destroy their men when they get abroad and of course, the usual nairaland women bashing was rampant on such threads. I decided to repost a thought I has on this and follow up views


What many people forget are certain things I'd outline for clarity.

1. Being married in the west is different from marriage in Nigeria. That is what many don't get. Just as with kids, no matter how 'African' and disciplined you claim to be, don't go about using whips on your kids or you'd get into serious issues. Same applies with marriage. People want to get married in the west but want to lord it all as in Nigeria


2. To add to the point above. Most naija guys would go out and treat younger European kids with respect and dignity but they come home and want their wives to kneel and serve them. Most ladies would see how u treat their fellows outside and take a cue.

3. There are multiple privileges that come with being a man in Nigeria that no one would give in the West.
There is nothing that the Nigerian lady did that an average white lady wouldn't do and exceed. If in doubt, ask the white married dudes what they pass through. It's in Nigeria that a married man would have lots of girlfriends and the wife would know and do nothing.

4. Another phrase getting common on nairaland is that 'most Nigerian ladies are entitled'. I'd hazard to say that if you think they're entitled, then you've not come across a white lady living in the west. You can ask the average white lady what they think about the roles we've come to expect from ladies in Nigeria

5. There are lots of success stories with Nigerian marriages. Most successful marriages are based on compatibility. Fact is for most Nigerians who grew up in Nigeria, they'd be most compatible with a fellow Nigerian and hence having likelihood of long lasting relationships with them.


6. They're are lots of things that are taken for granted with a Nigerian brought up lady that would be major issues if it was a white counterpart e.g maintaining a relationship with relatives, model of training ones kids, maintaining ones heritage in their offspring, food, domestic chores e.t.c.
Except if you're marrying for survival (papers) but if you're standing on both feet, it'd be difficult to gel with the average white lady for a long-term relationship. Good luck finding a British lady that would rather spend her summer touring your 'boring' relatives in Nigeria than vacationing somewhere else
I'm not even talking about Asians, cos they too have a very strong cultural background.

7. In the US, it seems there's a pattern with Nigerian nurses. But it seems some guys idea of bringing a lady over is for her to work as (or train her to be) a nurse, make much more that him while he expects her to bring it back for them to spend, and he'd still Lord ot over her like they were back in Nigeria. In the west, the society would not expect a lady to remain in such a relationship for the sake of being married.

8. Finally, the fact is that a good number (didn't say all or majority) of Nigerian dudes abroad are in the lower economic classes and take up humble jobs. But these same dudes want to get married to a lady and not be humble at home. They want to be Hitler at home but outside they become doves...


I agree that some ladies are the devil's incarnate and would bring anyone down. But that trait is not shared by Nigerian ladies alone or by one sex for that matter.
