Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania is now only 42, 000 votes at 90% count and the remaining votes are going to Biden Good thing with Pennsylvania is that a win is final, no recount unlike in Georgia. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: The Fate That Befell Afonja Is Befalling Tinubu -:Reno Omokri by JewelStone(f): 11:15am On Jun 25, 2020 |
“By their teeth we shall know them” kikikiki I’ve been waiting for this day to come...and I knew it will. Time for Tinubu and his likes to reap what they sowed for putting their selfish interest first and dragging this country backwards by forcing that deadbeat illiterate “president” on us. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Why Is Tinubu So Popular? by JewelStone(f): 11:08am On Jun 25, 2020 |
He’s notorious for supporting the emergence of the brain dead cattle rearer who’s currently occupying Aso Rock; which has consequently caused untold suffering and hardship for Nigerians since 2016. He’s also notorious for his brown teeth and for having Lagos state in his pockets. 1 Like |
Travel / Re: Moving Back To Nigeria After The Lockdown by JewelStone(f): 4:06am On May 23, 2020 |
servercodes001:If I win a lottery today and money is no longer an issue, I will still live in Australia. I will travel around the world and maybe spend some time in Nigeria as well cos then I will be able to afford 24 hours security and bullet proof cars. I will never relocated to Nigeria, my husband will never allow me and my children will never forgive me if I do. 2 Likes |
Travel / Re: Moving Back To Nigeria After The Lockdown by JewelStone(f): 4:00am On May 23, 2020 |
RaptorX:Lol. Not everyone leaves Nigeria because they're struggling so speak only for yourself. I had a fairly good job in Nigeria that was paying around 200k per month. It wasn't a lot of money but the best part of my job was the tips I was getting. I barely touched my salary cos I lived off my tips and my high-risk investment which had 20% monthly return. Before relocating from Nigeria, I had been to Istanbul, Paris, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Dusseldorf, London, Dubai, NYC, Vegas and LA on holidays. I also visited to Cotonou shortly before I left Nigeria because I wanted to experience life in another African country. Yeah my first few months here were tough. But as someone with a high drive to succeed, I quickly learnt the ropes and how to package myself and get a good job. God also blessed me with a man who has the same drive as me, we're doing alright and we're currently building our multi-million dollar home in Sydney. And I've been here less than 4 years. I choose to live in Australia because the leaders here are sane and they have respect for their citizens. The Govt is giving out $1,500 per fortnight to eligible people who lost their jobs due to Covid-19...and so many other stimulus packages to individuals and businesses to help sustain them through the crisis. I didn't lose my job so didn't get the Covid-19 money, and we generally don't get any welfare payments from the Govt because our household income is way above the threshold. I've been to Nigeria several times and I spent over a month there last year. I still have lots of friends who are doing well in Nigeria even in the midst of the craziness going on; some in govt and some into contracts. I would probably be ok if I returned to Nigeria today, but I value my life and my sanity. No matter how rich you're in Nigeria, you'll always be surrounded by abject poverty and all the third-world country problems. 9 Likes 3 Shares |
Travel / Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by JewelStone(f): 12:14pm On May 20, 2020 |
My advice to prospective student visa applicants: There's never been a better time to apply for student visa! Australian Universities rely on international students for funding, and they are currently struggling due to the COVID-19 situation. As soon as lockdown is lifted and international travel resumes, Unis will be desperate to admit international students. The PM is already considering letting international students in soon so I predict visas will be issued en masse to eligible applicants. So prepare yourself, choose a useful course and put in a good application ASAP. Goodluck! 3 Likes |

I'm not gonna lie...I miss Nigeria sometimes which makes me flirt with the idea of splitting my time there when my kids are older. I miss my family, my friends and the sense of community. But then I remember lack of internet and electricity, horrific healthcare system, bad roads, bigotry, lack of value for human life, insecurity, police brutality, immense corruption, tribalism, crumbling or non-existent economy and a million other horrible things. This quickly resets my mind. My solution which I'm currently working on is to bring my sisters and my best friend over to live in Sydney with me and make good living for themselves. Then I won't have any business with Nigeria anymore except to visit my parents every two years. So to answer your question: no, nein, never!!! 412 Likes 31 Shares |
Travel / Re: Being Black In Berlin/germany by JewelStone(f): 4:01pm On May 08, 2020 |
Danielhouston:Geez you make me want to visit Berlin, it sounds so exciting unlike Sydney. Europeans certainly have more fun... You're description of Dusseldorf is spot on cos I had one of my best partying experiences there a couple of years ago when life was simpler pre marriage, kids etc. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I was comparing it to my experience here in Sydney, and the reality is that Africans migrating to western countries have similar problems; albeit in varying degrees. Australia is beautiful...it's easy to find well paying jobs and build a good life (in Sydney at least but cost of living is crazy); but it's also one of the most boring places on earth!!! My lifestyle is more suited for western Europe, and the thought of spending the rest of my life in Straya does my head in. But I'm stuck cos my hubby will never want to move away from his family and his career and start life all over in a foreign country Cheers mate...at least you're having fun in Berlin and I'm so jealous 24 Likes |
