[quote author=Mr knowitall.]of course..am done with this....Nigeria has a long way to go..good luck[/quote]

Including you.

[quote author=Mr knowitall.]The question was...When Are You Returning Home? and my reply was Nigerians abroad dont want to return to Nigeria because Nigerians get abused by their leaders and also because of poverty. How do you not see that my reply directly answers the question without attempting to derail it....if you take a took at this thread... https://www.nairaland.com/994108/general-u.s.a-student-visa-enquiries-part3 even thought the thread is about U.S visa many people still asked question about U.K, France, Germany, etc wouldn't that be derailing the thread...since their questions..wasn't about U.S student inquiries? but you didn't hide any of their post.....Now tell me..doesn't this means you hide post based on personal sentiments? clearly some post derail threads but you look over them? am i wrong to say that if is was on of your friends on this forum that gave the same answers and replies that i gave you wouldn't have hidden most of his post? once again i didnt say some of my post shouldn't have been hidden...but you hid most of them out of personal sentiment and you called it derailing...

list of post that clearly derailed the thread acording to you but you didnt hide...

If you guys are so good back how come
your president and other government officials come here
all the time begging for our expertise and to come develop Nigeria.
Our Remittance that provide food and foreign exchange for y'all
back home is only second to what Nigeria realize from oil export each year.

Remember Bianca Ojokwu, she was made Special Assistant to GEJ on Diaspora matters.
Grow up guys but you didnt hide this

No. I'm convinced that whatever knowledge Nigerians have of the US, especially in the village, is that people go abroad and pick money from money trees. A very bad preconceived notion of "everyone who is abroad is wealthy". I'll speak for myself. When we went home, our relatives, particularly those in the village, literally folded their hands and made us do and pay for everything. No hospitality; we stayed in a hotel. There was never any food. If we were lucky, we'd eat twice a day: breakfast at the hotel, and then a snack very late at night, at the hotel. If there was food at my grandfather's compound, it was paid for by my parents and prepared by us. Anything and everything, they demanded that we pay for it. The only person that had her arms open for us was my dad's distant cousin. His siblings got jealous, put their heads together and got four chickens for us to use to cook ofe akwu.

Another example. My parents went home last year to bury my maternal grandfather. Within 10 days of their arrival, they ran out of cash. She and her relatives decided which drinks and such would be provided at the burial. When it was time to pay, they all said they couldn't afford it and looked at my parents.

If anything, I've come to realize that diasporans are making their relatives back home lazy. The kind of lies and sob stories relatives tell to get their loved ones to send cash. A lot of potential for fiction authors in the village. O di egwu. but yo didnt hide this

So now tell me what standards are you gong by?[/quote]You don't seem to get it, the question was not why you refused to come back, it was when , your poverty intake into it brought the whole fight, people can go off topic without turning the whole thread into battle ground which was what you and many others were doing, it was not only your post that were hidden, many were hidden and their IDs banned. Your point about sentiment is just baseless,

Read Ogugua88 first post here https://www.nairaland.com/1301528/how-long-lived-diaspora-when/7#15901624 she answered the question straight and simple and her post you copied was a follow up question to her first post, she was not involved in any war of words.

[quote author=Mr knowitall.]Like you said the topic was...How Long Have You Lived In Diaspora & When Are You Returning Home? I said that many

Nigerians abroad dont want to return to Nigeria because Nigerians get abused by their leaders and also because of

poverty....and i used nairaland as an example of leadership abuse....is that derailment? doesn't that directly coincide

with the topic of the thread? maybe you are misunderstand what am saying...i didnt say all the post you hid were wrong I

said most of them were my post because i was using certain keywords..that you might have been hyper sensitive

about...and am suggesting that you make an effort to bring up your level of professionalism and remove bias and personal

sentiment when you are discharging your duties....yes certain post should have been hidden...but you lost control and

started hiding all kinds of post...we should all strive to be more professional that is the only way Nigeria will ever

eradicate corruption....It might be time for you to critically analyze your professional standards...[/quote]Yes that is derailment because the topic was not asking you why you refused to come back, it was a simple question about how long you have been away and when you are coming back. Many of you went off topic ranting about something completely different. What does the topic got to do with corruption?

Ebucca: thanks a lot. I dont know how to contact the MOD...please help me to do it..

How about people paying the money directly to the hospital's account where the boy will be treated or receiving treatment? People will not be in a hurry to pay money into a stranger's account where it 'may' not accounted for.

IamJerry: So, you are in-directly saying it is not enough to process the visa?

Okay sir, what about 800k?

I'll book and pay for my 1month accomodation so it is not included in the 800k... Thank You

That is not what i'm saying. You know how much accommodation, food etc will cost you, only when you make the calculation that you will know how much is a enough.

Since you booked and paid for accommodation already then remove it from your estimate and calculate other things you will need in the UK. I don't know if you need course material or if you will have to travel long distance to the school and things like that

[quote author=Mr knowitall.]this is rule nuber one.. 1. Please post on topic always. Don't derail or tribalize threads. so now tell me how do

you define derailing a thread? the rule is sooooo vague..as a moderator what ever you think is derailing is derailing

even if its not....so you can not tell me that unprofessional personal sentiment had nothing to do with your hiding of

most of my post with certain sensitive keywords like..poverty, ingrates, etc....I and many others were debating and

making our arguments about subjects related to the thread....but most of our post were hidden out of hyper

sensitivity and personal sentiment... Going by your standards...you could have hidden 85% of the post that

day...but you and I know that there's a reason why you singled out my post....but ill say one thing though....Nigerians

must re-examine their professional ethics and come to the standards of the world....Nigerians must learn to remove

personal bias, sentiments, and corruption when placed in a position of responsibilities....as a moderator.. it is

unethical to moderate with an emotional bias towards certain people or words...if you go back and read some of the post

again am sure you will notice you made some mistakes...[/quote]

The topic in the thread is: How Long Have You Lived In Diaspora & When Are You Returning Home? but you and many others started your fight about Nigeria Vs Abroad, how people in Nigeria get abused by leaders and Moderator, how poverty in Nigeria suck and all sorts of nonsense.

If you don't know the meaning of derailing why not engage your dictionary? The problem with you is you don't even know when you are wrong or you deliberately refused to see your mistakes.

What do you understand by the number 1 rule that says always post on topic and don't derail?

know: Oga justwise,I hail o! Appreciate all ur good works.God bless thee.Its d season again.D season of visa applications for d sept intake.Pls,we will need you to shed more light nd educate us on d recent changes introduce to d process.like,the new online application procedure,d newly short interview just introduced,d visa fee,d website to fill d online form etc.It ll be nice if you can just brush tru all dis at once,so it ll be d reference/refferal post for d visa application process for d sept intakes dis year.

IamJerry: PLEASE JUSTWISE and OTHER FELLOW NAIRALANDERS... I NEED URGENT ADVICE.

I AM GOING TO DUBAI NEXT WEEK AND I WILL SPEND A MONTH but BEFORE I GO, I WANT TO DEPOSIT 600K INTO MY ACCOUNT TO PROCESS "1-MONTH STUDENT VISITOR VISA" SO BEFORE I ARRIVE, IT WILL BE 28-DAYS ALREADY.

PLEASE ADVICE, HOPE 600K IS NOT TOO SMALL FOR A 1-MONTH STUDENT VISA?

NB- I HAVE PAID THE FULL FEE FOR THE PROGRAMM and IT IS 1MONTH PROGRAMM. Thank You

Do your budget and see if N6000K will keep you in the UK, calculate the cost of accommodation, feeding, transportation for one month and see if it will be enough.

miz Gene: Hi Justwise,good day.
Pls I have a friend who is abt to take a short (3months) post grad course, he already has a 5yr visit visa,does he really need to still get a student visitor visa?

Since he has 5yrs visiting visa he can use that, its a short course anyway

[quote author=Mr knowitall.]list of words that I used....Poverty, ungrateful, pocket money, are these insults? I did not rain personal insults on anyone....those words can be offensive to some.. because of the sensitive situation that Nigerians are in.....I believe hyper sensitivity went into play on your post hiding.... we must try to be professional in the discharge or our jobs...this is one of the very thing that's holding back Nigeria[/quote]One thing you need to learn very quick is how to tell the truth, those are not the only word you used and besides you were derailing that thread with others, that was why i hide those posts, your argument got nothing to do with the topic of that thread.

kofsy: [color=#9900ff]Actually he does... It's called Narcissistic Personality [/color]

Take your word for that..

[quote author=T.S]What do you believ in then? Male dick?[/quote]If that makes me happy what does that got to do with you?

Rubbish, toothless law, this law is as useless as those who passed

Being Gay not against the law in Nigeria, what is against the law is same sex marriage and public display of affection by Gay people.

[quote author=T.S]Words of wisom drawn from which religion or holy book bros?[/quote]Not everybody believe in religion or God.

Though i'm as as straight as baseball bat but i rather share a city with Gay people than some Nigerians who raped and buried a woman alive, kidnappers who killed their victims even after collecting ransom, Nigerians who drop bomb in crowded places..churches killing innocent people.

If being gay is a sin...its just one sin ranked along side lairs, murders, 419ners/yahoo yahooing, thieving etc.

The same hell fire.

Face your own little sin and wait for your God on judgement day.

tontons: please help if you know how, because a friend of mine is worked up on how to increase her height.
