"I Agree With The Teachings Of Jesus" World's Richest Man Elon Musk Says

World's Richest Man and leading scientist and technological innovator, Elon Musk, has continued to proudly and publicly ldentify with Christ and those of the Christian faith.

This time he posted on the X, "I agree with the teachings of Jesus"


Why do you question or doubt him ? Is this how you will welcome a brother ?
I sincerely hope though he means what he says and isn't just saying it for saying sake, but also walking the talk.

However saying it alone openly and unashamedly, in a world that hates, rejects and doesn't want anything to do with the name of Jesus, is a right step in the right direction.

God bless.

Well, this is not to support Pastor Poju, but no one spends $21,000 to $50,000 becoming a medical Doctor in Nigeria. That is between 30m and 80m!

If that is the real worth, then it simply means it is heavily subsidized by the government.

Tuition fee in all public universities in Nigeria is not yet up to N1m per Academic session. University of Ibadan is not even yet up to 500k.


Base on your argument, I will say Nigerian deserve what they earn after going through cheap schools.
Medical students use 6 academic session in school. This means averagely, no student spends up to N5m (including miscellaneous)

Yes, it is true that Medical doctors in Nigeria deserve better pay, but so also does the street sweeper, and every other profession in the country. Everyone deserves better pay for their services.

Do u know how much a street sweeper get paid in developed countries? It is over x30 what they earn here. Exactly the same scenerio. The only difference is that one profession is more skilled and sort after in the globe than the other.
But you must not forget you owe your country for training you.

I don't blame the medics for jumping out of the country, I only blame the govermnt who are irresponsible thieves, thus they don't even have the mouth to say and do what they ought to do.

It's a formal agreement in which you vow to stick together and be companions for the rest of your lives.

Samantha125:
Some people, especially those from villages see it as an achievement while those from the suburbs see it as a partnership.

It depends on the environment you're in.

I am back from my long vacation, who missed me?

Just like how losers redpillers are parading themselves in this space, talking down on ladies, getting married to a black boy (esp. Nigerian boys) will be a worst nightmare.
Women are this, women are that yet you can't do without them. Grow up bro

So I am standing for ladies, leave Nigerian men alone and marry outside your comfortable zone



So technically you just want us to know you are back ?

As I am back, I don't want to see any relationship palava, if you know that you are tired of your relationship, break up and move on.
Also Loser's Redpillers keep off

Happy new month buddies

Yr 7m is just 4,192 dollars according to recent exchange rate, this money is way too small to travel, my little advice don't sell any properties to travel abroad otherwise na premium tears, don't be carried away by the japa syndrome. If you work and buy a landed property in this Nigeria I suggest you keep doing what you do and try build small bar for the land and car wash if it is in a busy area

Are the majority of your clients Nigerian/African? Do you have foreign clients who pay in USD? Since your expenses are in USD, it makes business sense to have USD clients. If the degree is for learning purposes or personal gratification (there is nothing wrong with this—it was one of mine), then go for it. But I strongly recommend you try to enrol in a specific and targeted marketing program, especially the one with strong ties to major employers.

Getting a job depends on the host country's economy and visa policies for international students. As for recent graduates, focus on international/foreigners, not citizens. Ask as many as possible. I believe the calibre of schools (sorry, I am too ranking obsessed sha) by Prodigy Finance would do justice to attract employers, but the overall state of the economy and visa policies supercede it.

Gerrard59:
I once sent an email to Prodigy Finance when I planned to study abroad. I did my search on the website and saw no Japanese university, not even the revered University of Tokyo. Anyway, I asked if it covers universities in Japan, and the response was they are still covering more schools. The model of Prodigy Finance is heavily reliant on immigration policies that enable foreign postgraduate students to find jobs (good jobs) in the host universities' countries.

To its model credit, PF (for short) only enlists the top universities in the countries it covers, and rightfully so. What you as the applicant have to is to study the job/career opportunities for graduates of your intended course and most importantly, the post-school work policies of your intended country. All countries are not the same. So, it is not just the loan, but the ability to repay the loans. Remember, the loans are in pounds (since it is the UK) and run for a decade or so. The question is: if you cannot find a good job in the UK (your target), what alternatives do you have to be able to repay the loans? Would your current business/job be able to finance the loan in the future even if you return to Nigeria (I presume you reside there)?

Recently, the Economist reported on MBA employment figures in the US, and the percentage plunge by many top schools was startling.
For citizens, they can extend their loans' payment duration, the loans are in their currencies, they can always live in the country indefinitely etc. For many immigrants such as Indians and our people, it becomes difficult. So, for this reason, check the universities to know their RECENT foreign alumni job trajectories.

As I stated in the sociology thread, studying abroad is good, but funding is equally important. Sure, everyone doesn't come from the same background, but I believe things should be easier, or a little bit easier, going forward rather than continual suffer-head here and there. It was part of the reasons I stuck with my intention to study in Japan because, from my research, there were more scholarships in the system than outside. The MEXT scholarship by the Japanese government is uber-competitive such that the only folks with 2.1. I have met are those we call "strong 2.1.", from federal universities and have cognate research experience. This applies to almost every African I have met who is sponsored by the MEXT - they finished top of their classes in their respective home universities. So, I did not bother to compete with them. I made a list of scholarships available to graduate students in my then university, applied to them as they were published and got two generous ones. At a point, the reviewing board jokingly told me to stop applying.

Mind you, I am not saying you should choose Japan, please don't as marketing will involve speaking Japanese. But I am saying you should do your hard research on the job market, rate the ease of foreign graduates to find good jobs and the immigration policies in your country of choice. Alternatively, with your years of experience, target jobs in Dubai and maybe South Africa. From there, you get foreign experience (on-site this time) and further build your career. While along, take elective abi short-courses within your field to build on your knowledge base.

Another thing to consider is how to convince the visa official you will return to Nigeria since it is a foreign financial firm that is sponsoring your studies via a dollar/pound denominated loan.

most countries are looking for people in STEM not sociology. And yes its currently a useless course unless you acquire extra skills. For the japa there is no viable pathway for you right now. Develop your skills along what is sellable now or in the future abroad

Gerrard59:
Nothing is in that country. It has one of the highest youth unemployment rates in Africa. The then-ruling party lost to a newbie after being in power since independence. Their major export product - diamond - is being threatened with lab diamonds and as a landlocked country, before any goodies reach them, South Africa has swallowed everything.

As for the rest of your post, is Nigeria really that bad? How about graduate trainee positions? How many entry-level positions have you applied to and how many aptitude tests have you written ever since? Companies should be advertising them yanfu-yanfu as they did between 2011 - 2014 and a little bit between 2018 - 2019.

Leaving Nigeria is good, but a lot needs to be factored in before you do so: which country of interest? If non-English speaking, are you willing to learn the language? If self sponsored, do you have the required funding and can you get bountiful scholarships? Does the country have a booming economy or do they need foreign workers (for good jobs) because of a low birth rate? The good thing about leaving is it gives you much more exposure, better insight of how things work and foreign contacts. Now, I see why folks do reverse japa abi japada as they call it after some years because one begins to spot HOW to profitably solve problems in Nigeria. Before you come at me, I no talk say make you use the money start business for Nigeria o. It is your prerogative to determine what to spend on.

I see someone mention Japan, for the love of whoever you worship, with your course, you better be proficient at speaking the native language of any non-English speaking country you intend to migrate to. And to be honest, 7M won't take you to any reasonable country outside of Africa. Finland and Austria don't come across as "reasonable countries" to me.

thesicilian:
I think your fears are very valid and you should consider it carefully.
I don't have answers to your questions as I haven't even heard about them before.

But my concern is, is it worth taking such a huge loan for education purposes when there's no certain job waiting for you at the end of your education, or at least a residence permit or something more tangible than just a perper certificate that hundreds of thousands of others roaming the street also have? How long will it take you to repay the loan even even if you get an entry level job abroad after? Wouldn't it be more practical to use that loan (most likely a much smaller amount ) to relocate through reputable agencies (I'm sure you may know 1 or 2) either for job or strictly emmigration rather than study route?
Just my thoughts though, pardon me for derailing the topic.

SoftSport:
To clarify, here’s the situation based on your description:

Nigeria and English Proficiency: Nigeria is considered an English-speaking country by the UK government for visa and academic purposes. If you completed your degree in English from a recognized Nigerian institution like Obafemi Awolowo University, this often suffices as proof of English proficiency.



Thanks a lot

UK ENIC (formerly UK NARIC): Some institutions or organizations may require proof that your degree meets UK standards for English proficiency. This is where the UK ENIC Statement of Comparability or English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS) comes in.

This document verifies that your degree was taught in English and aligns with UK educational standards.

Steps to Take:

Contact the University: Confirm with the UK institution whether submitting a letter from Obafemi Awolowo University (stating your degree was taught in English) would meet their requirements.
Consider UK ENIC if Necessary: If the UK institution insists on an official UK ENIC certificate, you will need to apply for it. You can do this online, but it involves some fees and processing time.

Next Steps:
If the school accepts a letter from your university, request a formal letter or certificate from Obafemi Awolowo University confirming that your degree was taught in English.

If the school insists on UK ENIC certification, proceed to obtain the document.

Should You Proceed?:
Yes, proceed with your application but clarify the specific requirements with the institution. Having the document from UK ENIC ready may be useful if the institution insists.
