It’s no longer a challenge.

I’ve got peeps there working in English (UK) foreign companies.


Even under study option, you can work and be able to afford tuition on your own in the foreign schools there even as expensive as they are.

Now you mustn’t have to know German, but it’s easier to integrate into their society if you do.
You people should stop understating the importance of the language. Jobs that are okay with just english are few and far in between and are fiercely jostled for by the hordes of applicants who can't speak german. Chances of landing those jobs are ultra slim.

Learning the language is paramount. The best time to start is before you travel, the next best time is as soon as you land....and just so you know, employers are looking for professional german language levels not Ich heiße.

The 12k euros is still your money and you will be given about 900 euros every month.
20 hours a week is for unskilled jobs you can do while you keep searching for your professional job that you went for.
Germany is actually calling for experienced professionals to come and take up professional jobs in their country.
So stop saying what you don’t know.
Thanks for pointing it out but I do know what I am saying.
Even EU citizens many times take over a year to land a solid job not to talk of A1 level german africans who need to dedicate time to learning the language to a professional level. You are only going there to do unskilled jobs if poorly prepared.

The 20 hour limitation also remains something to worry about in comparison to job seeker visas of some other European countries where you are allowed to work full time for the same 1 year.

Stop rushing to type.

You bring €12,000 as proof of funds and yet you're capped to 20 hrs per week for 1 year huh If its not slavery, Ii dont know what else is.

Same Germany just signed an agreement with India. Nigeria has an eqully large number of young talentss but dem no go gree look our side.

I prefer independent states to independent regions. It would be easier for regions to break away than for states to break away
Seconded. In addition, it props governors to sit up however we are not at that level of development yet. The regional level equally provides great advantages for collective and collaborative performance.

Someone once tracked a stolen phone on his own immediately it was stolen using "find my phone" and got the location. On getting there, it was a compound full of unruly elements. He refused to go in grin.

By the time he went to file report and try to get police, he used the track feature again and the phone was hundreds of kilometers away by then.

No one told him to give up and go buy another phone jeje.

This isn't true.

But the deposition of the current Emir is not yet enacted.
It is true. What is left is for it to be widespread knowledge. He is in Kano as we speak.

FamilyRe: How Do I Fix My Marriage, It Has Crashed - Family - Nairaland by laivwire(m): 12:12pm On May 20, 2024
@tomi4life

Reading your previous thread in April 2023 leaves no hope to be desired. I don't know what you're still looking for in this marriage if not death from loneliness and hypertension.

For your wife to suggest counseling means she knows there's a problem..but for her to know and not suggest any amends means a bigger problem.

I don't support divorce especially for kids' sake but please stop looking for happiness where it doesn't exist.

When it comes to innate intentions like these, there's nothing you can do to change her mindset. Not counseling, not trips, not money.

Look for what makes you happy elsewhere but please be careful.
AgricultureRe: Kwara Governor Abdulrazaq Launches "Home Farming For All” Kits by laivwire(m): 4:25pm On May 18, 2024
ElevationD:
Great idea.

So you do not need a big land. You can comfortably grow yams, onions, pepper, tomatoes, etc at the back of your home. You can sustain your home with some and if there are extras, you can sell and make some money. Less people to farms. Less encounter with herdsmen. No security fear. More food at home. More money saved.

Some people grow out fish in their homes. Some snails and for some it is chicken. They save a lot and have more to eat.

Good concept. Hopefully it can be extended nationwide by all.
And for how long will your home grown food supply sustain you in a year? Good luck depending on that. You can read the Cuba case study for more insight on the topic.
Foreign AffairsRe: Putin & Xi Hug Each Other As He Departs Beijing For Moscow (Photos, Video) by laivwire(m): 4:22pm On May 18, 2024
WriterNig:
China is the biggest winner in all of this. All the cheap gas that was supposed to go to the EU now goes to them. And then they make alot of profit selling to the EU and rest of Asia.

The EU are the biggest losers, they lost their cheap energy source, lost so many industries to the US, lost money funding Ukraine.

While the US on the other hand is losing money funding Ukraine, at a time when many countries are cutting down their dollar reserves. And also lost its status as world's superpower.

Russian cheap energy powered the European economy, especially Germany for decades making them highly competitive. Now they're left to buy gas from Norway, US, India at 3× the previous price.

Chinese industrial power was second to none before the war now imagine what it'll achieve with all this cheap Russian gas.
While your writeup makes alot of sense, I would disagree with some points. The USA is STILL the world's super power. No country comes close, not even Russia. I agree the EU lost the cheap gas deal but of course that's for the short run, new strategies are being put in place to their benefit and even Africa can take a piece of the pie in the instance of natural gas supply (Good for us). Russia has lost that hold over them.

Yes, the US is pumping funds to Ukraine but they are not silly, Russia is also incurring losses; to the war and in their trade. Even if China produces 90% of global goods, they need buyers. The US and Europe still remain some of the strongest global markets. I don't see Africa and India with an equal purchasing power.

Tesla seems to be moving too fast with a technology that is yet to have widespread acceptance...it's a risky business strategy
Not when the transition is backed by a time bound legislation.

They need to produce more because the govt will soon cover the losses. With the new tariffs on china products, where do think Americans will turn to?
Car TalkRe: Who Still Remembers When V-boot And 190 Made Lagos-benin In 2 Hours? by laivwire(m): 10:15am On May 17, 2024
StillDtruth:
Who still remembers when the standard tine for running Lagos -Benin was 4hours plus? Whether, 504 or Volvo or Datsun?

While buses took 6 hours (coaster); 7 hours Mercedes-Benz O 309 Mannheim 100 luxurious bus, 12 hours.

Santana and 505 made it in 3hours.

To me, Vboot and 190 were the first cars to run Lagos-Benin in 2hrs .

Benz 200 (flatboot) was close but it made it in 2 hours and some minutes after. I know the Fuel gulping slowed its reach and most flatboots were heading to the East so, Onitsha people na im go get the record.

So, was this your experience?
I am only familiar with the Peugeot 504 and 505 evolution era where Ibadan to Lagos was done in 1 hour. I also remember how the V-boot bounce was popular back then. Volvos were known for the unique loud engine noise and the Datsun was a popular Ibadan taxi (Brown and yellow).

Of course, the luxurious buses were always on top speed and flash you to shift lanes when coming.

To add after reading some comments:
People tend to estimate the travel time not from their houses but from when they see "Goodbye to Lagos" or "Welcome to Ibadan" sign post.

I also forgot to include the freakish J5 accidents back then.
RomanceRe: My Ex Girl Told Me This. by laivwire(m): 7:21pm On May 15, 2024
Kindnessprocity:
My ex girlfriend whose new relationship I scattered send me a text after I tried apologising, told her we should see so I can apologise well.

She told me "not now ,I'll bleed on you".

I asked for the meaning of "bleed on me" she said never mind.

What could it mean?
Its nothing. It only means transferred aggression. She still hurting from the break up and if she's comes close to you, she'd only use you as a rebound or you won't enjoy your relationship with her because her heart isn't settled.

She likes you and doesn't want to bleed on you. Give her time.
FamilyRe: Seun Needs To Pay People To Write Contents For Nairaland. by laivwire(m): 8:48am On May 15, 2024
I agree with your submissions except for the payment part. I don't think Reddit pays their contributors and this is because it's a forum for honest objective content.

Today on nairaland, it's all about content for traffic because of the uprising of social media handles like instablog and the rest.

The frontpage is still an important page as that was keeps people on the site and money flowing but more work needs to be done on building the relevance of objective topics, ones not created to advertise or drive people to blogs.

An idea is a page for topics driven by people's likes (or votes) as opposed to "views" which can be manipulated using clickbait by users like scient.ist and iLe.gend. This puts the power in the hands of the users and not the mods or bots.

Users should also be able to down vote crappy threads or comments as well.

I have watched her documentary years ago and it's a debilitating illness. She is always orgasmic (not Hot) even with no stimulation and is always drained of energy.

There was another man who sued a motorcycle saddle company because the seat always made him aroused with priapism. It was so bad he lost his potency.

Too much of everything is bad.

But there is something, you are here on the Internet, using data and typing from a phone.

There are YouTube tutorials on how to learn different skills. With all of your rant, what skills have you got other than thinking the world owes you a living?

Your husband has one, he is a plumber you say. I'd employ him ( I need a new bathroom)

Can you paint? ( I need to commission a couple of oil painting of african art)

Can you make hair? ( I saw some lovely braids on Pinterest that I considered doing, but the chick charges £ 1000, my money no reach that one so I locked up)

Need I go on?
No offense meant but I feel you are talking to a closed-minded, validation seeker.

There's nothing you can say that'd change her mind. Save your breath.
FamilyRe: .. by laivwire(m): 3:21pm On May 12, 2024
Reginaoyah:
I decided to create this account to stay anonymous. I have been married for 11yrs. My marriage is blessed with 2kids. A boy and a girl ( 10 and 6yrs olds). I will try and make this brief. I was 28yrs old when I married. An orphan who grew up with her older brother's wife. I accepted to marry because all my life, I had known hard labour. My brother's wife used me to raise her kids and work if you understand what I mean. When marriage came, I saw it as an escape route from that lifestyle. Unknown to me that I will be feeling the way that I do now. Few days ago, I thought of killing myself because of what my life has become. My husband was nice before, now I don't know what to tag him . I have prayed and I am tired . He just does not care about me but I know he is not cheating. He gives me no support in the small provision business I do but for like 3yrs now I notice that he has change. The only time that he gave me money to add to my business was when I first started it. Some times as a mother and wife, I take things from the store that we use at home. So whenever this shop runs down, he never gives me money, I am always taking loans to fund, then when I finish repayment, I take again. Never buys my clothes or give me money for my hair. When I ask he says he opened shop for me. I have been taking loans to fund the shop because I don't have a helper but my husband looks the other way. We live in a student environment, a student came to buy pure water and stole my phone, my husband didn't bother or think of buying a new one. He's a plumber, whenever he comes back from work and it's like there's a bill, he tells me he doesn't have money. He hides his phone from me so that I don't see alerts. I wear clothes, ppl see me then praise him assuming that he's responsible for them but this man has not given me money for clothes in years. Not even for pants or pads.

I have reported him to ppl but he comes back even worse. He gives me money for food on Saturdays. So I cook a pot of soup and stew which the money will carry...imagine my kids taking rice and stew to school Monday to Friday because they have to eat eba as dinner. This is where I sometimes secretly take them to the shop to change meals. I complained and he said that they have to eat what he has as they are even lucky to see food.

I asked him if he was ready for marriage and he said YES. He married me well. Did everything. But I hate that I married him.

Please, I don't know what to do. I am overthinking because I am already in a 190k debt I don't know how to pay or when. His brother abroad reads my messages then ignore. My brother is old I can't ask him for anything. I feel I married a wicked man. Now we hardly even talk without quarreling.
Just in case you decide to scrap your post later. This thread is too valuable to be lost.
RomanceRe: I Am Trying To Understand My Life by laivwire(m):
That lady isn't looking for love, she's looking for a cash cow...and for sure, single mothers are smart as hell.

Don't think you will chop and run easy. Its either you chop and spend very well or you chop and commit.

But tbh, single mothers with sense are cool. They are mature, caring, sabi cook and clean house well. Just don't think you can outsmart her easily.
FamilyRe: I Am 40 Years Today by laivwire(m):
Sharpsharp00123:
congrats my brother

Please I like to ask u some questions though not yet 40

We’re u able to achieve all your set goals?
Like goals u set before 40?
Any health challenge?
Any life touching experience as regards marriage n raising children?
Any major problem that shook u to the root?


I just want to know
I think it's really unhealthy to set rigid time goals for milestone achievements. No one knows tomorrow and it's out of our hands really. You can crush 80% goals only to fall ill or get fired or the economy goes bust and you feel you failed.

I think it's better to line goals up and achieve one at a time. That gives a more positive outlook of what your success is at a point in time rather than what you weren't able to achieve.

Who set all these lifetime goals really? Hearsay or tradition?
