The factory job wey my friend first do, him waist wan break. Na physiotherapist tell am say if he no if wan end up for wheel chair, make he run

Your friend must have had health issues prior to taking the job that were only exacerbated by working in the factory.

millionboi2:
but in Nigeria you will not start somewhere abi

There are dishwashing, mortuary, and cold room jobs in Nigeria. Those who work those jobs in Nigeria, dem no be human beings?

nasbiafra:
my brother the plan no be to work this work for nigeria,for nigeria the money nor go reach but if na uptown i no mind

Exactly! You start where you can on the way to where you are going. If you find yourself working the same job even 20 years down the road, it is still OK. I remember there is a place here in the city where I live where I found people who have worked in cold rooms for over 10 years. Some of them are Americans while others are foreigners. If it was such a bad job as claimed by the OP why are there people who have done it for so long and become experts at that?

Nigerians too dey like to put jobs and things they don't understand down in ignorance.

Cromagnon:
you will not understand. E get some belle wey you no fit face We are not acclimatized for cold climate. No be by gragra

Nobody is acclimatized to cold weather by the way. There are many Americans born in cold climes who retire to temperate or warm climes after many years. It is not a matter of acclimatization but knowing to dress appropriately for the job at all times.

nasbiafra:
The one way i dey so,i nor mind work for cold room or even wash 5000 plates a day,God help me to JAPA from africa,if na plate 10,000 i go wash,if na cold room i go work,if na dirty self i go pack,men don pack socker way for five thousand naira for nigeria so even if na shit i go pack for any europe or america country

There are equally dishwashing, mortuary, and cold room jobs right there in Nigeria only they are probably not paid even 1/20th of what you would get in Europe or America for the same job. And worse, people working those jobs in Nigeria would likely not be provided or paid enough to afford the gear to help them better do those jobs.

AntiChristian:
Of cos i am okay! Are you? Does a manager do such jobs in Nigeria?

Manager, managing what, with what skills or credentials, being paid what? Do you think work is merely about whether you have a manager badge or not? Abegi!

A group of Nigerian local engineers has recently captured attention by showcasing a helicopter they built using discarded materials such as ceiling fans, rods, and other scrap items. The impressive display featured the ceiling fan rotating on the helicopter’s tail and a custom-made fan on top, which intrigued onlookers.
However, despite the anticipation, the helicopter did not take off, leaving many viewers slightly disappointed. Some had hoped to see at least a small lift-off, but the aircraft remained grounded. Nonetheless, there was an outpouring of praise for the engineers’ creativity and effort.
One viewer expressed admiration, saying, "This is great, I initially thought it would lift up a little, but it didn't. If we had visionary leaders, talented persons like this would be invested in. Unfortunately, we don’t; then when foreigners utilize their talents, all the government does is write congratulatory speeches or complain about Nigerians leaving the country."
While some celebrated the ingenuity, others were critical of the project. "They should stop all these. This is the 21st century. If you cannot do it the way the whites are doing it, forget it and stop wasting your precious and productive time," one viewer remarked.

This piece would work great in front of a library or school of Engineering. Great job as a first step!

With the present grave economic and social situation of Nigeria today, worsened by the misrule and deadly economic policies which has no clear benefit to the masses of the country , rather is throwing the Nigerian citizens into one of the worst excruciating hunger, insecurity and abject ooverty ever experienced in the history of the country, I hereby ask Nigerians to save the country from impending anarchy and doom by putting pressure for to have the incompetent presidency of Bola Tinubu removed through impeachment.

This is the conversation that Nigerians ought to be having at this point in time. I don't understand what they are still waiting for.

Glimpsetv:
A Nigerian man has taken to his TikTok account to advise fellow Nigerians moving abroad about certain jobs they should avoid or approach with caution.
Speaking from what appears to be personal experience, he mentioned workplaces like cold rooms and other jobs, explaining why it’s not advisable to take up such roles. Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.

Rubbish!

This submission is made in ignorance. Most of the jobs he listed are found right there in Nigeria and Nigerians are working them in that same Nigeria as well. So why would you frown on working the same job abroad, simply because you assume those there don't like to work them? Every job is worth doing.

Veste:
This guy jus dey craze. My first job abroad was in the Chicken processing cold room. Yes it was very cold but I was paid well and the money sorted many things for me. People go just open dia mouth Waaa d talk nonsense.

Make him come back to naija and do that work him papa created na.

Help me educate these ignorant arrogant beings who label things they have no insight into.

tiwasiaife:
■ You chose money over your health? They pay u well cos of the risk involved. You think u dey wise?

Nonsense claim! Who fed you this nonsense that working in a cold room is against one's health? Like every other job, you make sure you dress and have the right gear for the job; you end up enjoying it.

Are you telling me that those who work in cold rooms right there in Nigeria are also killing their health? Make una dey apply brain power when assessing these things.

AntiChristian:

[size=12pt]Saner climes!
Insane Jobs!
Manager in Nigeria! Third class dish washer in UK!
Anything for the $
Shit money no dey smell!

There are no dishwasher jobs in Nigeria. No cold-room jobs in Nigeria? Are you ok at all?

Quelme:
Especially cold room and warehouse job. E get why

Nonsense! If you are not disciplined enough for the work and not dressed properly, then commonsense is that you will suffer. The job is not the problem but the person doing it.

Starboytwo:
3000 plates. Na which kain restaurant be dat... Na beside stadium the shop dey? Imagine wash plate from morning till night. Kilode.

People dey wash plates all day long in restaurants even in Nigeria. So long as the pay is good, why not. All you have to do is dress properly for the work — good gloves are great for this — and you are good to go without minding how many plates you end up washing at the end.

Nursepepeye:
easy said than done in europe enviroment. In nigeria, you can take break and nap, you can ague with your supervisor small and tell him reasons why you need rest. But over there, they see you as rubot, any attemp to take a rest, you will be threatning with sack and deportation

What you described there in bold is not an employee but a liability. No serious business person looking to make serious profits wants any of that as an employee!

faceland:
■ It depends on what part of Nigeria.
I have passed the governors house by midnight, 1am, 5am, 3am... For years, I have never once seen the security sleeping because cameras are on them. Here in Nigeria.

Work ethnic in most of Nigeria is generally poor among Nigerians which is why many companies there prefer to hire foreigners than Nigerians in Nigeria.

Racoon:
Frostbite is a serious health concern in Europe

Frostbite only happens in cold-rooms? Abegi, working anywhere involves wearing the right gear for the job. Those who are too lazy to understand this aspect of work should not advise other possibly less disciplined minds.

Gboom:
■ Experienced advice. One of my nieces told my mum that she is taking care of mentally deranged people in London (Care Job so to speak), mama shouted say upon all the better job in London, it is only wo-werey job that you can do.
Meanwhile, the lady is okay with personal house in London and Nigeria

The mama no get sense abeg! No be people dey take care of mentally ill people even right there in Nigeria? No be people dey take care of patients for a hospital?

Drone95:
■ How about washing dead people? Corpse

Dem no dey wash dead people for Nigeria? Why avoid the same job abroad where the process is more streamlined and safely done?

Sleekfingers:
■ Doing comedy content bydefaming someone abi? Did you watch the video? If I am the one ....that guy will be bury alive.... You think shit was funny? This is how some people get killed for running their mouths...

Defamation can only be proved in a court of law — it isn't dependent on subjective assessment.

faceland:
Great advice about safety and frostbite.
Personally, I love night shift. Working during cold would take serious discipline or dollars.

Exactly! You go in making sure you have the right gear for the job and you might actually end up enjoying the job.

Also, serious discipline is something many Nigerians lack.... this is quite evident in Nigeria for instance. There are cold-room and dishwashing jobs in Nigeria as well.

Glimpsetv:
■ Yea, the man isn't actually saying people shouldn't do those jobs entirely; he's cautioning that if you must do them, you need to be very careful.

EVery job you do, you dress properly for. The same with Cold Room, Dishwashing, etc. If you dey wash dishes, wear water-resistant clothing, good hand gloves, etc., and you will be fine. If working in a cold room, be sure to wear proper cold-resistant clothing, hat, etc.

RealityKings:
■ Good morning ma Nigeria and whatever country you stay in don't operate the same laws and you can't compel Nigerian Justice system to be inclined towards your perception of how the Law should be.Also I once told you that through out the whole world laws are bent to fit certain people's needs, in other words, there are no such things as laws. Even in the US, the "powers that be" can charge you with allegations based on anything and keep you behind the bars. Infact you can even be terminated under the watch of security personnels and nothing will happen. I know you must have seen this play out
One good example is Jeffrey Epstein.

What I just described as the case in the state I live in here in the U.S. is the same as what takes place LEGALLY in Nigeria. Your laws in Nigeria stipulating when an arrest can or cannot be entered into attest to this fact —Section 38(1) of the Nigerians Police Act 2020 & Section 18(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.. Additionally, the fact that this Burna boy was somehow able to allow for the release of Speedy also suggests the courts were never informed of the arrest from the start— to drop a case in the courts does not happen that automagically—, a clear violation of the Nigeria Law.

If you don't know or understand your laws, please research to brush up on what it says. Do not come here and argue ignorantly about what you are not knowledgeable of.

Samtob90:
■ I think what Burna boy should have done rather is to deal with the idiot himself since you assumed the legitimate arrest was illegal. We will return to jungle justice

What proof do you have for claiming the arrest was legitimate?

Church is a business. It's the lord business - Pastor Jeremiah

You are the CEO, the chief financial officer, and the individual who decides how all the money is spent and on what. How that take be the lord's business. Or, are you trying to tell you what we already know which is that you are the lord in this case?

RealityKings:
true

Rubbish!

I currently live in a state where defamation is listed under the criminal code as a misdemeanor same as in Nigeria— just like in Nigeria, defamation law here is written right in the Criminal Offences....Act. However, you don't dial 911 when you have or think you are being defamed. Rather, you are told to file a lawsuit against the one who you feel defamed you so the courts can upon reviewing your case decide whether it is a defamation case, whether the plaintiff should be compensated, or whether the defendant should be fined or serve jail time. An arrest can only be made in such cases if a misdemeanor warrant is issued by the courts. I doubt a policeman witnessing a defamation case of any kind has the right to arrest the defendant since a case needs to be filed in the courts for that to become a valid case, to begin with.

Another interesting thing to note is that here in the U.S. there has been a push to decriminalize defamation since laws that criminalize it violate Freedom of Speech. Of course, Freedom of Speech does not give any the absolute right to harass other citizens, but civil lawsuits are fully capable of addressing the harm caused by defamation. And so the argument is that criminal defamation laws should have no place in a democracy.

■ "potential consequences", as you call it, has come to play. Why then the weeping and wailing?

Pay attention to what I said... and make sure to carefully process it before you respond.

Kobojunkie:
Again, you are saying anything new or with meaning. FREEDOM OF SPEECH as proffered to every Citizen by the Supreme Law of the Land means people have a right to say what they want to say and, yes, face the consequences afterward.

The same Law that offers the benefit also states the potential consequences. So, anyone who uses the benefit is already aware and basically acts knowing full well of all of this.

hotseat:
■ Freedom of speech has its limitations. It is not guaranteed if one uses it as a cover to peddle lies about others.

There are no limitations except the one you imagine in your head because the very same Law that proffers it also defines the potential consequences that follow it leaving it up to those who take advantage of the right to also accept the potential consequences as they do.

hotseat:
■ Freedom also involves obligation. There's nothing like freedom of speech to peddle falsehoods and damage the character of others because where your freedom ends, someone else's own begins.

Again, you are saying anything new or with meaning. FREEDOM OF SPEECH as proffered to every Citizen by the Supreme Law of the Land means people have a right to say what they want to say and, yes, face the consequences afterward. No one is granted by law the right to illegally abduct any citizen in the way that Burna boy did to this other boy!

hotseat:
Good! Then it's needless fretting over him here since he already has "a competent lawyer".

No fret here! Just stating that the silly advise you gave earlier was irritating since the Law clearly gives everyone FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
