@JessicaRabbit,

I don't like discussing this topic, it's very disgusting to me. However, I want to ask you a question.

Since you are vigorously defending homosexuality, will you also defend incest? Will you defend a man and his adult daughter having a consensual sexual relationship openly and telling us to accept it? after all, all the argument you are making for homosexuality can also apply to them too. It is the same "human experience" and they deserve to be accepted too according to your argument. Mind you if you don't accept and celebrate these ones you are also a hater too.

At what point are we going to draw the line on moral decency? If you accept one unnatural nonsense in the name of human experience and human right, you also have to accept everything no matter how ridiculous it is. So where does that leave the society?

StOla:
You are still making the same mistake.

You saved £5000 in a year in UK and you say you have made it?

Money that will not pay for 5months of Nanny care if you have kids.

Meanwhile N500k that is not even the equivalent of the pound amount, will pay for nanny care for 8months.

Whatever you have saved in US or UK, is for later expenditure where you are. Stop comparing it to what a Nigerian saved for later expenditure in Nigeria.

As you do not earn the same, you do not save the same, and you will never later consume the savings the same.

They are 2 separate economies, and they do not meet at the point of savings expenditure.

What a mindset chai.
5k pounds in the UK won't pay for nanny as you said cos a nanny in the UK is considered a human being who deserves to also live a quality life. The nanny in the UK does not exist solely to serve the interest of the rich to maintain their big man status.

You said 500k will pay for a nanny in Nigeria for 8 months. That's about 62k a month. How much is a bag of rice? So the nanny in Nigeria is worth a bag of rice? And you are not ashamed or feel bad to bring that up to win an argument? So the purpose of the nanny and other low end workers in Nigeria is just to serve rich people like you so that the rich exploit them to maintain their high living standards in Nigeria abi?

You guys have the effrontery to berate low end workers in the UK who by the way have higher living standards than those same workers in Nigeria cos you exploit them and pay them equivalent of one bag of rice a month and then come online to gloat how Nigeria is better abi?

May God forgive you all

I am helping filling an application on IRCC portal for a mother SP and child 3 yrs old VV as a group application. For the child, if I say the mother is applying on his behalf, it will require me to upload Use of Representive form even for the mum even though the mum is not being represented. It looks like if the mother is applying in the same application with a child then Use of Representative wouldn't apply to the child. Is this correct?

Biddieg:
I also received this mail yesterday, paid full first semester tuition fee since January. I honestly don’t know what’s going on. Got PAL two weeks ago

You mean they gave you PAL then 2 weeks later they revoked your admission? If yes, did they cancel the PAL? It could be a mistake.
You may have to reach out to them. Which program were you admitted to?

mayrhe:
Apply together with your child using Old Portal, not the new Ircc portal. The new portal accommodate one applicant, while the old portal should be used if someone have defendant(s)

Someone told me that she wanted to use the old portal to apply for study permit and visit visa for her 3 yr old child but saw a statement that says you can only use the old portal for study permit if you are applying together with a family member that requires a work permit. Her child won't require a work permit. It seems this is a new development.
Does anyone understand this?

Treadway:
check am bro, Russia invaded Georgia and Ukraine correct...but both countries and Russia historically were all brothers that once shared landmass. Which landmass US share with Afghanistan and Iraq? Lati odindin US of A dem cross all the way to the middle East to find trouble. You sef check am na

As to your question, if we can find an autocratic leader that is that passionate about Nigeria, passionate about making it formidable abeg I no mind. I will take a wild guess and say you emigrated too, like most on here, evidence that the democratic dispensations since Obasanjo has only left us with the worst of us leading us almost always, while Nigeria constantly sinks. They win, Nigeria lose. I would def wholly accept a diff approach, even an autocrat. Thank you

Orisa bi o gbemi, at least fi mi le bi o se bami👌

Again, like I told Zahra, aside the language speaking barrier, I could live in Russia. I have two pals there and they are balling. Enjoying same world-class infrastructure, are married to beautiful women, and have beautiful kids. Russians largely love Putin. I wouldn't live in the US if I could live in Norway. For those who still have it in them to learn a new language, countries yapa, Russia included, where you can move to and live super fine. All this Canny, USA, Aussie and UK most naturally throng to, na cos the language is English. No be say other places no dey viable.

He poisoned him and wanted him dead immediately but Alexi Nalvanly was lucky to survive the poisoning thanks to Germany that took him and cured him. As a patriotic Russian, he still felt he has to go back to Russia despite being warned not to.

I don't really blame Nalvanly for wanting to go back home. Any reasonable person would expect that since Saint Putin has tried and failed to eliminate him before, he will just leave him alone, we were all wrong, in fact, we were dead wrong. As soon as Nalvanly stepped into Russian airport, saint oga at the top arrested and locked him up, bid his time and this time around eliminated him and ensured that no one can save him this time. Sad end of a young man whose only crime is having the audacity to oppose the "god" of Russia

If the Russian state can be this cruel to its own people who disagree with him, If and when Russia becomes the number 1 super power, do you think they will spear you and your people when you disagree with them?

Your evil desire of wishing this kind of cruelty in Nigeria will never work for you. God forbid!
With time, Nigeria will thrive and succeed democratically, economically as a free country with citizens enjoying their fundamental right of freedom of expression. There are countless number of countries from east to west to even Africa who are freedom loving, democratic and also prospering too. We don't have to become a repressive authoritarian society where one man can use the power of the state to murder his people anytime he wants without accountability.

I hope people around you know the kind of person you are else they are playing with fire cos with this your mindset, you can be deadly.

toughest007:
That's the effect of consuming many years of western propaganda.

Let's learn to think objectively and rationally without bias and say things as they really are.

It is you that should think without bias. If you are rational, you should have known that Putin and Russia are no saints, they are as bad as the US and west. You should have known that Russia is also seeking to dominate like the US. You should have known that Russia is also looking out for it's own selfish interest like all world powers do.

Every bad thing you have against the west is also applicable to Russia. US and its allies invade countries for their selfish interests, Russia does the same. Since 2000, US has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, Russia has invaded Georgia and Ukraine. Russia has been sponsoring breakaway rebels in Georgia, Maldova, Ukraine etc to declare kangaroo independence yet Putin is your Angel and you wipe away his sins.

All world powers are bad players. But at least in the west, no leader is "god", they can be challenged and removed by the people unlike your Angelic country Russia. In the west, Opposition is strong putting check on government to behave themselves. In the west, Oposition has power, media has power, legislators have power, courts have power, civil society have power the people have power, it is never a one man show.

Putin came to power in 1999 when Bill Clinton and Obasanjo was in power. He has succeeded in making Russia a one man country where he is "god". He has changed Russia constitution 3 times since 1999, the last one being last year to give himself another 12 years in power. Russians can't talk, if you talk, you chop poison, fall from high rise, rot in jail if you are lucky or your plane gets shot down.

Do you know how many Putin's opposition and critics Saint Putin and his gang have eliminated since 1999 by poisoning and throwing them down from high rise buildings?

Will you be happy if Nigeria adopt the Russian model? Tell yourself the truth for once.
As we speak, Russians can't call Ukraine war a war publicly, they passed a law criminalizing calling it war. Imagine a government making it a crime to judge for yourself how you see things. Russians no longer have independence of thought, they have to be told what and how to think by force because one man cannot afford to be criticized. I just hope this Saint Putin Russian model nonsense is not what you guys are wishing for Nigeria to become. God forbid!
By the way, I'll take Tinubu and Nigeria over Putin and Russia, you can put your money where your mouth is by relocating to Moscow and not living in the freedom loving west and still talking nonsense. Mtshewwwww

Advision:
This is not propaganda.

Even days to the invasion, Putin was openly denying it and claiming it was just a training exercise on the borders of Ukraine, so putin denying they will invade Poland is not evidence they would not if they have the chance.

Putin has annexed 25% of Georgia also, is it also because they seek to join NATO?

Reality is putin has been trying to recreate the soviet union by annexing countries around it , it has been annexing bits and pieces of ukraine since 2014.

It is sheer ignorance to think NATO is the reason putin is invading ukraine.

In reality, it is because Ukraine failed to move towards NATO when the likes of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Estonia did. That left Ukraine exposed and at the mercy of Russia's expansionist ideas which Putin espouses. If the full annexation of Ukraine had gone as Putin hope, Kazakhstan would likely have been next as much of the Soviet Union's nuclear and space programmes were based there.

Ukraine was valuable because crimea was the only warm water Sea port the russian navy had access to. Many of the gas pipeline to Europe also pass through Ukraine, which gave Russia concern that losing Ukraine means it would lose Europe's energy market. Unfortunately for ukraine, after the collapse of the soviet Union, rather than move westward like the rest of the baltic states , it remained in Moscow's control even leasing the naval base in Crimea and pipelines to Moscow. Also it continued to use Soviet spec equipment making it dependent on Russia and

Kazakhstan knows this and has been transitioning from Soviet-grade military equipment to Chinese and NATO grade equipment to give it the chance of resisting an invasion if it happens

It was Hitler's expansionist ideas that started WW2, Putin is simply replaying this script with the hope that the fear of nuclear warfare would keep the major powers from challenging it openly.

Thank you for schooling them. The one that annoyed me most was the coward Putin displayed in the days and months before the invasion. He vehemently denied plans to invade Ukraine despite positioning his forces in Belarus and all around Ukraine borders. Lavrov even called US war monger when US was sharing Putin's plan publicly. I was even fooled myself cos I believed Russia denial of plans to invade Ukraine cos it doesn't make sense. Ukraine didn't attack Russia so why will Russia invade so I thought.
Zelensky was also fooled cos I remember him telling the US to tone it down believing Russia won't do such. I guess Zelensky didn't believe until it happened
If Putin had made his intentions clear, probably west would have prepared Ukraine militarily ahead of time, Ukraine wouldn't be in this mess now.
Russia took months to plan and execute an invasion of her neighbor but somehow they are victims not agressors

lavida001:
It’s a completely different scenario. Look at what genesis of both situation and tell me who is wrong.

No be only genesis, you for add Exodus or even Revelation sef. Mtshewwwww

NewT123:
This is the LIE and PROPANGANA the West keep pushing to fund the pockets of the military industrial complex at the expense of the blood of the Ukrainians. Between Putin and NATO, who has invaded more teritories and leave the inhabitants battling for survival. Libya comes to mind. The sooner Zelenskyy knows that he is being used to fight a proxy war for the west and their cronies who are hell bent on limiting Russia’s global influence ( US bombing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline). In the words of speaker Mike Johnson, let’s give them the money after all its not US sons dying in the war, my son is graduating and joining the Navy and isn’t going to be on the front lines in Ukraine. Zelenskyy shouldn’t sacrifice his countrymen any longer. It is time for peace!!!

My brother, remove bias and analyze this issue.
Can you tell me what exactly Ukraine did to Russia that should justify killing Ukrainans and taking their territory?

Ukraine intends to join NATO - Ok, does that justify it? Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania all border Russia and has been in NATO since 2004, have they been threat to Russia since then? Has NATO ever attacked Russia from their territory? Finland and Sweden has joined, will they attack Russia? Do you honestly think that Russia with the world largest Nukes will be attacked by NATO for any reason? Tell yourself the truth. So Ukraine joining NATO does not shake Russia in any way but only prevents Putin from bullying Ukraine.

Pro Russian government Ukrainian president was forced out of power in 2011 or so - Ok. I get it but does it warrant this death and destruction? In Belarus, the same power play happened with the west supported opposition and pro Russian Belarus president and the Belarus president won that struggle while opposition fled on exile, did the west declare war on Belarus because of it or annex it territory? So why is Russia willing to waste Ukraine cos of that, does it make sense?

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, Ukraine did not fight back. They sponsored separatist to annex parts of eastern Ukraine yet Ukraine took the loss. They still went ahead to invade and destroy Ukraine. What exactly do they want from Ukraine? Become their ally? Do you win friends by force?
Please tell me exactly what Ukraine did to Russia that warrants these deaths and destruction from Russia.

lavida001:
Ukrainian are being slaughtered like cows. Millions have lost their lives yet they keep encouraging them by giving them weapon. All zilensky needs to do is find a way to resolve things diplomatically to save his people.

"Ukrainian are being slaughtered like cows"
You are implying that it is the fault of Zelensky that his people are being slaughtered by Russia. He should just give Russia whatever they want OR .......... GET SLAUGHTERED.
Let me even ask you, what does Russia want?

Well, I hope you also have this view on Israel Palestine issue cos this also apply. You have to be consistent
In your own logic, Palestinians leaders are at fault. Release Isreal hostages OR .........

Since you absorb Russia of all responsibilities of Ukrainian deaths and destruction, you should also do same for Isreal.

Please guys,

For someone applying for study visa with her child, how should she go about it?

Apply for her study permit in a separate application and apply for her child visit visa in a separate application? Or is there a way she can apply together with the child?

I learnt there is old and new portal, which one should she use in this case?
Thanks

voiceofpaul:
(Voice of Paul) While I was preparing to write the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admission some years ago, I attended one of the preparatory classes where the teacher revised the Circular Flow of Income in Economics. The whole concept rests on how each household in an economy contributes to the economy by offering factors of production such as land, labour, entrepreneurship, and raw materials to firms that produce goods and offer services, and in return, the firms reward the households with rent, wages, and profit respectively. The household would use their rewards to purchase goods and services produced by the firm, and the cycle of income continues that way, spurring investments and expenditures in the economy, and leading to its growth and buoyancy.

A real-life example is when a Nigerian company decides to manufacture a particular product that is usually imported into the country, Indomie noodles for example. If a Nigerian firm can source its raw materials such as wheat, and sorghum, its packaging materials such as paper, nylon, and other packaging equipment within Nigeria, the firm will have to pay all the Nigerian suppliers within Nigeria – and pay them in Naira.

The firm will also pay all the employees in the firms, assuming that they are all Nigerians. And in return, everyone paid would buy the Indomie noodles from the firm. As the firm spends money on raw materials, labour, equipment, and entrepreneurship on every household represented in their firms, the household would return the cash to the firm by purchasing the Indomie noodles. And then the cycle goes on and on in such a way that both the firm and the household optimize their resources for better efficiency. This is the way that a country’s economic activity is measured for gross domestic product (GDP).

Dr. Allen Onyema’s Air Peace’s airline inaugural flight from Lagos to London is a significant economic achievement and the most wonderful part of this story is the Isi-Agu that the airline’s hostesses wore. Putting on the Isi-Agu is remarkable as the cultural and historical stories behind the design of these cloths have amazed the whole world – right now, a lot of people including myself would have known now that the Isi-Agu attire is reserved for men who have killed a leopard, a show of strength, valor and honour in the Igbo Culture. As short as the story is, there is an economic power behind it. This is true because the demand for cloth can rise astronomically and it can become a global phenomenon. The same way that global consumers adore those who wear expensive Balenciaga, Prada, or Louis Vuitton, is the same way that those who are not Nigerians would appreciate the magnificence of Isi-Agu.

Provided that there is a global demand for Isi-Agu, the purchase order from these demands would flow to the Nigerians manufacturing the cloth, and in return, the producers would have to hire a lot of people to help them meet the demands – hiring people would mean that people have jobs, their taxes, insurance, retirement, social security packages are paid – and that way, the government has more money to reinvest into the economy – this is the way to grow an economy.

Additionally, one of the passengers on Air Peace posted that the airline served pounded yam, and Jollof rice on board. This is huge and commendable. What will happen is that demand for pounded yam, efo riro, oha soup, ogbono, egusi would increase astronomically and by so doing give jobs to people in the value chain of that business. Imagine that Nigeria manufactures all the Boeing airplanes that Air Peace wants to purchase. Statistically, it would cost Air Peace about 20 trillion Naira to purchase these planes, but the sad part of it is that the money would go to the American economy and not into the Nigerian economy.

Last but not least, we need to give accolades to the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for granting approvals to Air Peace. I learned that the company has faced obstacles for years in getting permits. In essence, let us support everything Nigerian, everything African, be it our language, food, clothes, vehicles, and many more, this is the only way to grow economically as a country and as a continent.

My only comment on Isi-Agu is that Nigeria is a multinational country, just like Russia with different ethnic groups with their own cultures, traditions, and philosophies of life and the most predominant are the Igbo, the Yoruba, and the Hausa. Since Air Peace still operates as a Nigerian firm and offers their services to everyone within the country, the company could have just represented all the cultures in their attire – this will show inclusivity and diversity as one of the values that the company believes in.

Wait ooo. Is this picture the actual picture of the crew on isi agu? Because I thought they dressed in full traditional attire. What I'm seeing here is suit produced with isi agu material. So what exactly is the brouhaha that this is generating? I need to understand

It is simple logic.
People will be happier in Nigeria than UK cos they expect nothing good, they have resigned to fate, they have accepted whatever Nigeria throws at them. For example, no Nigerian expects any of their leaders to make things work. Nobody expects that there would be a time when power problems are solved, if it happens then praise the Lord but no one puts their mind of that possibility so you just have to find happiness.

On the other hand, the UK and other advanced countries are different. Their citizens expect too much, they are never satisfied, they always want more which becomes impossible and this leads to unhappiness. This is why they keep changing government and their leaders are constantly under pressure from their citizens compared to Nigerian leaders who are the most comfortable in the world for any democratic country. Naija leaders no send the people, the people no send dem, everyone just hold their side

pansophist:
Be like say people wey dey carry unnecessary weight in the form of family plenty for here.

My prayers are with you. Just realise say you matter, and put yourself first.

It's not that easy. A lot of Nigerians especially abroad ones are carrying unavoidable burden. I met a beautiful lady weeks ago who was working 2 jobs not because the first job wouldn't be enough for her but she has to raise money to pay her younger brothers school fees so that he can stand a chance to get a study visa to come to Canada. I felt for her but what can she do?

Fortunately for oyibo people, they have a system that largely works for them so they become responsible for themselves alone. Unfortunately for Nigerians, no working system so the burden lies on those who managed to have to rescue those who don't have. At the end of the day, both the have and have not live a miserable life

wifeesnatcher:
Obi is just a messiah in the presence of you Igbo because you haven't enjoy good governance before


If dapo of Ogun that we are criticizing here be a governor in southeast state you people will surely hype him all in the name of he's Igbo but trust me Tinubu will get it right



Baba don achieved everything on this earth, at his age he need to make records as one of the best president and he won't missed that chances, every bad wishers of Nigeria will meet their waterloo in no time

Bros what you are saying to that guy also applies to you.
If Tinubu was an Igbo man, there was no way in hell you would have ignored his drug dealing and forgery to support him. NEVER!. I can bet my left yansh.

I can also bet my right yansh that if Tinubu is an Igbo man, that guy you are quoting will see no wrong in him and support him. He will defend him as you are doing now.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if non tribalized Nigerians would even be up to 10% of the entire population. 90% of Nigerians of all tribes will always support and defend their own tribal thieves. At the end of the say, all of you suffer the consequences irrespective of tribe.

Jorussia:
I doubt this your news,it was around #1300 this afternoon.I know the USD is going to crash in the coming weeks,but i doubt it was exchanged for #1000 today.

I predicted 600-700 for USD in February on this platform and I still stand by that value.
It's not because Tinubu is an idiot or he is wicked that we had 1800 per dollar exchange rate,it's simply because of the inherited FX backlog that they just cleared.even the 600 is not the best we can do as a nation.something around 450 by next year should be our target.

I'm interested to know what has triggered the naira appreciation which I'm happy about.
Did we export more to earn more forex? How did we get the forex that improved the liquidity in the system?
I hope they are not using the foreign reserves to defend the naira cos that is unsustainable.
Remember sometime in October or November when naira started appreciating over the dollar and it then got worse when the artificial liquidity the injected into the forex market dried up. If they are doing exactly what they did at that time and it fails again then they would have ended up killing investors confidence finally. I hope and pray that they are doing the right thing now.
The greatest problem in this whole situation is that no one is sure what will happen in the next days,weeks or months. It is better for it to exchange at say #1500 over a year period than to rise to 1800 fall to 500, rise again to 1200 fall again to 400, rise again to 1500 fall to 100 etc. No serious business will put their money in an economy like that. What we need is stability for a long period of time to bring back business confidence and attract investment.

Its my first winter experience. The way they hyped the winter like say person go die when it comes. Spent money on winter gears, majority I’m yet to properly use. In fact my winter boots is still in the bag, I never use am.

There is this trend that I have seen happening over and over again. Let's me tell you a brief story about a woman who bought my ebook to make her japa journey to Canada very smooth. Pls note I won't her name. She was a teacher here in Nigeria and her salary was very small, barely enough to cater for her children because her husband died, so life wasn't easy for her.
One day, as she was scrolling through Facebook she saw my ebook in an advert. She contacted me and we spoke a lot, she eventually bought my ebook and took the easiest path to make her japa journey to Canada easy. She works as a cleaner in Canada but her children are in Nigeria with the grand mother.
This is where things got really crazy for her. She noticed that she was always lonely in Canada because all she does is to work 5 different jobs , eat, get paid and and the cycle goes on and on. There is no time for friends because nobody really cares about being your friend, you can't start greeting in the neighborhood like we do here in Nigeria. She was never really with the system but she had no choice than to adapt. Most of the Nigerians over there like her don't really want to associate with themselves. When you Japa to hustle, your whole life is just work and work even though you are going to get paid.
Well, she told me her children will soon join her in our last conversation and she will always be glad she bought my ebook which save her lot of money on travelling expenses because of the secret she learnt from me.
If you want to know her name , you check my ebook that if you want to buy my ebook. I want to help you the way I helped her too so that your japa journey will be smooth and easy. You don't really have to spend so much time when you will get the right information from my ebook.
Besides with just #5000 you will get the ebook. All you need is to chat me on 09047231316 right now.

Info marketer, which seminar did they brainwash you?
You cooked up a fake story to sell ebook.
Anyway sha, you are lucky cos their are lots of gullible Nigerians.

jesmond3945:
please tell me what can you export that will pay you better than oil and gas? Please tell me food? lol. My dear if not for corruption ehhh Nigeria would have been in g7 since. In 5 years we spent 100 billion dollars on foreign education. Please never you underrate oil money. Corruption and bad leaders is the problem.

My brother oil money is not enough for our population. Even at that, BRICS is not going to stop corruption and bad leadership which is our main problem. This is why I'm saying we are just chasing shadows.

Rexymania:
It's obvious you don't know about BRICS... They sell their crude in their own currency, whilst strengthen their currency

Sell crude in their own currency to who? If Nigeria joins BRICS, who would they sell our oil to in Naira? Russia has a lot of Indian rupees as a result of trading in their local currencies that it can't spend today cos of the trade imbalance between the 2 countries.

If Nigeria and India trade oil in their currency where will you spend the rupee?

BRICS doesn't have a currency and won't have one because many of the players like India and Brazil don't want to move from an American hegemony to a Chinese hegemony.

Joining Brics is not bad if it is for the sake of belonging somewhere but to think it will make any impact economically will be naive.

Exousiang01:
This would be a huge step in the right direction.
We need to emancipate the economy from Dollar

Wake me up when China stops trading with the US in dollars.

Our problem is not the dollar, our problem is our balance of trade is too poor. Apart from oil, we don't sell anything to earn forex and we produce nothing for our own consumption so no matter the currency of trade, as long as our forex earnings is low and with huge trade inbalance, that currency will appreciate drastically against ours and the problem will continue. It is simply demand and supply.

Remember the currency swap deal with China where people taught it was a game changer under Buhari in his first term, what happened?

What we need is a complete revamp of the country and the economy to become a productive nation and improve our balance of trade, every other thing else is just chasing shadows. BRICS hasn't saved South Africa's economy from distress despite being in a better shape years ago, how would it save Nigerias economy that is even in a worse shape than SA?

But like everything Nigeria, we are more interested in virtue signaling instead of tackling issues from the root cause.

mosejesu:
Japa is a very popular slang in Nigeria which means to run away from your country to a better country.
Over the past few years it has been discovered that many young Nigerians are living the country for a better life, greener pasture, better opportunities because their country does not have hope for them.
Every year, the country has fresh graduates from universities but only few are able to get the dream job because the supply of labor is very discouraging, not to talk of the frequent ASSU strikes that makes you to old to get a job in Nigeria.
This ripple effect has made many people to travel out of the country for a better life, get menial jobs and send money to their loved ones in Nigeria. However there are lot of information regarding how to japa that a lot Nigerians are not awares because immigration policies are changing constantly to make things tight for immigrants. So here they are 👇👇👇👇👇
(1) How to be a permanent citizens of UK, USA or Canada in less than a year
(2) How to answer interviews questions the right way for quick visa approval
(3) How to get funding for your education if you are a student.
(4) How to get a ready job in your dream country while waiting for visa application.
(5) How to get the right network of people to progress faster.
If you want your japa journey to be smooth, I have an ebook with more information to help you which you can get at an affordable price . Chat me on 09047231316

Lol. Which seminar you go?
You want to capitalize on the desperation of fellow Nigerians to cash out.
Chief thief

Nigeria economy is on autopilot at the moment. The worst thing that can happen to an economy is uncertainty. It can lead to hyperinflation.

It is better for exchange rate to be high and remain stable than to rise to say N2000 to $1 and fall to N600 and rise again to N1000 and fall to N800 etc. within a short period of time.

This kind of uncertainty is what kills businesses and traders will try to protect their businesses by doubling and tripling the price of goods and services incase.

If this uncertainty continues and businesses begin to loose money, a time will come when there wouldn't be goods to buy as businesses become extra cautious of restocking, that is when the real hardship will come. I hope and pray it doesn't get to that. Amen

Let them continue to follow the steps and let us observe the way the people/market would react.

My expectation is that there'd be resistance from the elites which would necessitate the CBN to come harder with implementing these policies.

They must not relent. It is a job they must do to rescue out nation from the locusts.

So far, I am impressed.

My brother the only solution is for Nigeria to be a productive country. Any other solution is cosmetic at best and wouldn't yield the result in the long run.
If we earn more forex then the naira will rise, simple demand and supply. Unfortunately our capacity to earn forex is dwindling and our imports are increasing over the years.
Weak currency favors production and exporting economies that's why most industrialized countries deliberately devalue their currency to make their exports cheaper since the world is now globalized.

Unfortunately we can't even take advantage of our weak currency. Our fundamentals are very weak. Farmers can't farm properly cos of insecurity, no electricity for production making goods produced in Nigeria even more expensive than imported goods etc. To crown it all, you have corrupt and greedy political,economic, religious and everyday people class who care about only themselves.

Due to the trial and error policies that have been happening in Nigeria over the years, we now suffer an investor sentiment decline. Investors are wary of putting money where there is uncertainty. No one right now can attempt to give a long term projection for the economy as policies are not well thought before implementing.
Most of what you proposed are good but will not make much difference if the fundamentals are weak

What is Trudeau’s obsession with Ukraine tho 😆

Trudeau is down in the polls so he is looking for ways to change the narrative in the eyes of Canadians. So he is using Ukraine as a wedge issue.
However, conservatives should be very careful not to fall into Trudeau's trap. Canada is not the US where the far right can win elections due to the structure of their political system.
The reason why I like the conservatives in Canada, UK and Australia is because they are close to the center. I believe a center right politician is better than a far left politician since the liberals are now moving too far to the left these days instead of pulling to the center.
If Canada conservatives start toeing the line of far right conservatives in the US, they will loose. I myself will stick with Trudeau if that happens. A far left politician is better than a far right politician. Tucker Carlson visited Alberta last week or so for a summit with conservatives and that is not a good sign.

Ukraine used to have a bipartisan support before. Trump had no issues giving military aid to Ukraine in 2017, 2018. Everything changed when he asked Zelensky to dig up dirt on Biden which lead to his first impeachment. Since then, he has managed to turn the far right into anti Ukraine cos of his own personal interest and vendetta. I hope Canada conservatives are wise to stay in the center and not tag along with the crazy far right guys in the US. Nobody wants to see those craziness in the US in Canada abeg.

Its my first winter experience. The way they hyped the winter like say person go die when it comes. Spent money on winter gears, majority I’m yet to properly use. In fact my winter boots is still in the bag, I never use am.

Though they are now saying “wait for February “. Well, we dey wait.

Lol. Some years are like that anyway. It used to be worse than this. If I can recall, 2018 winter was also mild like this

Bright sunny Sunday morning. 👐

This winter seems unusual. Apart from that week in January that was too damn cold, it's been good. I even wore just sweater to church today. The grasses are green with no snow covering in Ontario

Ednut1 are you seeing what I'm saw ?

You're not getting the point. Nobody is humiliating anyone. Just got irritated that a man is simping on a woman who isn't interested in him. Women know what they want.

As for me. We both know what we are after. Remember i said no feelings attached. And it's beneficial for both of us. I ain't tripping.

I understand what you are saying. However, it shouldn't be your business to deal with someone who is simping. If the girl wanted to do that she should have done that without putting you into the picture. Your job with the girl was to chop and clean mouth and nothing more others can be simping

She just used your head to pepper the other guy and you fell for it. If there was a fracas between you and the simp, do you think the girl will be involved? She will just leave the 2 of you to disgrace yourselves in public while she is catching her cruise far away. Maybe she expected that the simp will flair up and fight you cos I don't see any reason for her to act that way.

The worst regret a man can have is to go down cos of a loose girl. Be wise, always use your head to follow these loose girls. They can ruin your life forever and end up becoming a pastors wife tomorrow. This is my elderly advice

First week of January, shawty wasn't available and i needed to get good loving. Called up one of my sweeties from old times, we're friends with benefits and the arrangement is cool with us. We have these escapades twice or thrice every year. Truth be told, she's a wowzer, fair skin, cupid face, quite intelligent. People give dagger stares when I'm with her, both genders.

Back to the story, after a whole afternoon of romping at this suite close to my crib (Can't take no lady i ain't marrying to my father's house), we decide to hit the pool downstairs to let the steam off. Romance gets pretty intense and we decide to take a breath. Her phone has been ringing the whole time and she has some messages too. She shows me, there's this dude that has been on her case for quite some time, he's asking where she's at, she video calls him and he says he's coming, she didn't tell him she's with someone.

Dude stays like 2 communities away. The Hot simp drives down in 30 mins. I see him when he enters. Wicked us decides to take things up a notch. We dive back in and for the next 35 to 40 mins, we do all sorts of 18+ shi with reckless abandon in his presence. The other occupants of the pool think something crazy is about to happen but we cool things down and step out again. I see him where he sits, his hands are shaking as he clutches his car keys awkwardly, he hasn't even touched his drink. I take observation of him, he looks like a geek, prolly in his mid 30s, the type that comes online to brag but can't ace a woman in real life. I don't feel one bit of pity for him. I'm wondering how someone can waste expensive fuel just to come and simp.

We take our leave shortly afterward. We walk up to meet him, i give him a handshake and he's like i should take care of her well. If only he knew. I gave a silent chuckle and we left him there.

Dude looks like a typical nairalander, i hope he see's this.

I always advise men to stop chasing women who aren't interested in them. Let's be realistic, that dude has more to offer her than me. He loves her genuinely, would spend on her, treat her like a queen too. But no, she'll rather bang disrespective and rude me. Women are naturally drawn to things and people detrimental to them. I can't date her because she's somewhat like me, and she can't be in a serious relationship with me either because i'm not a one woman guy and i always say it with confidence. Our arrangement works for the 2 of us. It;'s all active service. No questions or feelings attached, just enjoy the moment.

I could be labeled many things, one thing i'm not and i detest those who are is the simping shi. Things are happening. Simps belong to lowest class of men.

Guy I think you are the simp here. A small girl that doesn't even worth it is trying to set you up with your fellow guy and you are here forming real man.
A real man avoids anything that can lead to potential problems for him especially when it is on behalf of a useless girl that is not even your wife. You shouldn't have allowed her to do that. What if the guy is also useless and came to start fighting over a girl, what will you tell real niggaz? That you are fighting publicly over a useless girl that would jump to the next available guy? Is it worth it? Common, man use your senses.

This was how a guy in my street those days humiliated a guy cos of a woman. The humiliated guy came back with hired thugs to beat up the guy and mistakenly the guy died in the process. The humiliated guy (simp) is in prison as I write, the "real" man is 6ft under now and the useless girl is now married and living her life well. Who lost?
