Bros, God will make a way for you to achieve it. You are so honest and you have given the OP everything He needs.

NDakota:
The career dilemma...

Many years ago I was where you are now.

I took the road less traveled. I settled for a career in Nigeria.

I got a job in a Big 4. Then moved on to an FMCG, where the perks are much higher!

On education, I got chartered, and I'm finishing an MBA.

On family, I got married to my best friend from University, and I just made my first baby.

Do I regret not moving to the US to join my mom, a US citizen?

I do. Every. Single. Minute.

Why? Nigeria is a very uncertain place to stay and thrive. You could be up there in the sky today and the next week you're back on the mud. In a country of many poor people, you run the risk of becoming a victim of crime due to envy...post COVID-19 it'll get worse.

Look at you at 30. You're dithering. You're pussyfooting.

Look at me at 28. I still regret the mistake my 25 year old self made. I'm pushing daily to leave Nigeria.

I want to leave, not because I'm broke in Nigeria, but the collective poverty in this country scares me...

Most crimes committed today are more out of envy and hunger than of greed.

If you can, please run. For your SAFETY!

While this is a good development and progressive, the road designers did NOT consider walkways, and the property owners, setbacks.

It's high time our roads have dedicated walkways, bicycle and bus lanes.

Good one Aketi

Man City hit with UEFA ban
https://www.nairaland.com/5687540/breaking-news-manchester-city-hit

Manchester City have been banned from all UEFA competitions for the next two seasons and fined £24.9m for "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play regulations.

THE PROBLEM
According to theguardian.com, "City were found guilty by Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) of having falsely inflated their sponsorship revenues, when they made submissions for the FFP compliance process. The guilty finding follows an investigation sparked by the publication of “leaked” emails and documents by the German magazine Der Spiegel in November 2018."

From the “leaked” emails and documents, City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, majorly funds the £67.5m annual sponsorship of the City shirt, stadium and academy by his country’s airline, Etihad. One of the leaked emails suggested that only £8m of that sponsorship in 2015-16 was funded directly by Etihad, and the rest was coming from Mansour’s own company vehicle for the ownership of City, the Abu Dhabi United Group.

THE RULE
FFP, introduced in 2011 with the aim of encouraging football clubs across Europe not to overspend on players’ wages, restricts the amount club owners can put in to cover losses. Sponsorships boost revenues and therefore the amount that clubs have to spend under FFP, so the perception that Mansour himself was in fact funding the Etihad deal led to the serious allegation that City had deceived Uefa’s CFCB, which is responsible for ensuring compliance with FFP (theguardian.com).

CITY PERSPECTIVE
City have vehemently denied wrongdoing throughout, and denounced the Spiegel coverage as based on “leaked or stolen” materials taken out of context. Spiegel anonymised their source as “John”, who was quoted saying that he had not hacked computers to obtain the emails. Shortly after their publication, he was identified as a Portuguese national, Rui Pinto, who has now been charged in Portugal with 147 criminal offences, including hacking and other cybercrimes, which he denies. The charges relate only to Portuguese football clubs and other organisations, not to the “leaks” of City’s or Uefa’s emails.
When City were charged last May, the club vehemently denied any wrongdoing, saying that they had been subjected to a “hostile” process which ignored “a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence”. City are considered certain to appeal against Uefa’s verdict to the court of arbitration for sport (theguardian.com).

Meanwhile, Manchester City have said they are "disappointed but not surprised" by the announcement and will appeal (bbc.com)

If this ban stands, 5th placed in the final English league standings will progress to the top prized tornament. This only makes the race to make 5th as important as it has ever been.

Paulo Dybala has told Manchester United he wants £350,000 a week to join them from Juventus and enable Romelu Lukaku to complete his move to Italy.

An agreement on Dybala’s personal terms will be the final piece in the jigsaw for one of the summer window’s most exciting transfers.

His representatives have made it clear they are looking for a significant increase on the £6.5million a year he takes home after tax in Turin.

Dybala wants £9m a year after tax at Old Trafford which would launch him into the highest tier of Premier League earners alongside Mesut Ozil at Arsenal.

This is more than United were hoping to pay although it is an early in the talks about personal terms and the difference is not expected to block the transfer.

That's not the point. These companies represent their countries, who individually are fighting to dominate connectivity technology for the next-gen and thus economy/world power.

Economically, whoever controls even 10% of patent right of 5G tech automatically owns billions from future market share. Not to talk of 34%.

Politically, China sorry Huawei/HiSilicon get to determine who to grant the use of their own share of patent for 5G tech, be it companies in all powerful US or small countries such as In South Africa.

It has nothing to do with end-user satisfaction or presidential preference.

Hmmm, tough. I for one prefer the 42man cabinet option. A s/easterner for SGF, A more vibrant and eloquent Chief of Staff perhaps even a Lawyer (SAN).

The president needs to select technocrats in sensitive and vital positions, politicians in people oriented areas. If you know, you know
