Do you feel submerged...... 😂👌

Goke7:
it can't be stopped, forget story, it's not about the people migrating. It's more about those who want the resources migration brings. The people coming in by boat bring something and resources the ones coming in by visa don't, and the country needs them, despite all the propaganda. If e easy make them run am.

This is the exact reason I say, climate change/global warming is the greatest scam (before or after religion).......😊😁😂

Goke7:
That’s why migration can’t be stopped no matter the policies against it as people will continue to move from where resources are scarce to where resources are more available that’s the natural order. Even the people making the policies themselves are looking for more resources.

I've been reading more about slavery recently (focusing on enclopedia brittanica) and the knowledge gained has significantly changed my views on how to apportion the blames for slavery. In the past, I always blamed African tribal leaders more for enslaving their own people and selling them off to the invaders however the impact of slavery on the development of the western economy cannot be overemphasized. The west MUST accept and live with blacks, racists MUST be punished at all times. In essence, Britain or wherever CANNOT be white again. These people plundered Africa so much, they MUST accommodate Africans.

This here would be the game changer......

Guys, which country can one retire to? If Nigeria, which state and region is safe to retire to?
I am tired of this country already

Zahra29:
Thanks for this, it's a very salient point.

Especially as Starmer has actually joined in the immigrant bashing, complaining about an "island of strangers", it's highly likely that there will be a national race riot very soon, in every borough and city, with even middle class white folk chasing out all their black neighbours.

Oh dear, sounds like it's time to activate a migration plan asap to the US where racism has thankfully ceased to exist in the 5 years since George Floyd/Black Lives Matter.

What really motivates you?

I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

I recently had to start using medication because of elevated blood pressure – I will be fine. When you have to worry about staff salaries and sundry business expenses (for 12 months, this was £100k/monthly) with no hope in sight and then spend 12-15 hours daily for months working on product development and iterating, you get to acquire some unnecessary companions. I’m working hard to get myself rid of them.

I recall sometime back, and I was having a frank discussion with myself. I remember telling my heart that I was cool parting ways with it. I told it that I was so convinced that I could run my body without it and it just had to behave if it wanted to be part of me. My wife when I later told her of my brief meeting with myself concluded I needed help.

I mean I recall weeks where I slept on the carpet in the living room. I needed to be close to the designated space I work best from in the house. I had no choice. If I needed to wake up when my alarm came on, I needed to be as uncomfortable as possible. The carpet was the best solution. God bless my missus. She had to buy some inflatable contraption for me and was from time to time keeping me company there. She has a good heart.

In the midst of all of these things, one question that I have always been asked by my wife but for which I have never given her the answer has been – Chukwuka, what drives you like this? With all of the pains and difficulty and costs accompanying building, accreditation, compliance, research and all, why do you still work this hard? I mean I could take a consulting gig and be fine. I could sell our businesses and their IP, be a dollar millionaire and just be living on interest rate!

I will today answer this question.

I grew up in Deeperlife and as I matured, there was something about Deeperlife and later Winners and other notable Pentecostal churches that awed me. You see, these churches were global. With branches across nations all around the world, they had set up a network that allowed them to do something amazing – they could literally take someone from a village in Ebonyi State and transfer that individual and their families to Plano, Texas or London, UK. I mean, there is no other level of empowerment or opportunity for human fulfilment than that. This was something that was common among the MNCs especially the oil and gas companies. I mean, I left Nigeria to the UK for master’s same day my undergrad classmate also left for France for training with one of the major oil servicing companies as a new recruit. This has always fascinated me. A “local boy” from Nigeria could set up a church in Nigeria, expand it globally and practically move other “local boys” as pastors from one station to another. Nothing beats this for me.

I believe in human capacity development. I am always eager to see humans live fulfilling lives and access every opportunity they can and need for their fulfilment. In today’s world, mobility is the single most important factor for Nigerians to enjoy fulfilled lives. In my many travels, when I see young folks just expressing themselves and shining, I smile. This here is life – people living their lives confidently and with all the support needed to live fulfilled.

I thus work hard because I want to set up something similar for my staff. One thing I know for sure is that in the next few years, I would have achieved this. Staff being able to move from Nigeria to the UK or Amsterdam or Dubai or San Francisco within the business. Staff being able to attend executive training programs in Lagos, Stanford or London or Oxford or Paris routinely and paid for from their training allowance. Staff being able to earn equivalent competitive salaries irrespective of where they want to be based. Staff being fulfilled. I have no business with customers, that is the job of sales and marketing. My business is with the staff who have decided to partner with me on this journey. This is what I want to achieve for our business. I want to setup the ecosystem that will allow them grow, develop broad range of skillsets and command global respect. I want to provide them that platform. I don’t need it – their fulfilment is all I dream of. I want my staff well empowered and confident in their roles. I am working hard daily to set the foundations to achieve these tall dreams.

Why, someone may ask. It is because I want my staff to have this as a lifestyle so that when they leave to start their own businesses, they can take this culture they have imbibed from us and improve on it in their own businesses. I want to catalyse a chain reaction of business owners who deliver excellence in both products/services they offer and in the quality of opportunities and remuneration they provide their staff.

Some time back, some acquaintance was discussing with me and passionately advising me to get a house and a car. He told me of folks around and in church who had theirs. Sincerely, I celebrate them. As I write this, I don’t still own a home, nor do I have a car. My spreadsheet analysis shows I can’t afford either. When my wife passed her driving exams (I am yet to even do my theory test), she was adamant on getting a car. I advised her to do a spreadsheet analysis for 1 year. She came to the same conclusion as I did. We trek a lot (helps with weight reduction and fitness), use the bus (my wife is an expert on their schedule) and complement a lot with Uber. I hope to be in the comfortable position to afford these luxuries someday in the future.

This is my motivation. Building a global brand that will compete with the Octopus and Flexitricity of today but globally and give “local boys” and “local girls” the opportunity to be fulfilled people.

What is your motivation? Does it just revolve around you and your family alone? We have been blessed with an incredible opportunity of travelling to “the abroad”. Can we use this opportunity to unlock more opportunities for more folks (local boys and girls) back home. It will put a smile on the face of our creator up there.

Have a splendid evening.

Settled status was 5 years, Kemi suggested 20 years, Keir is implementing 10 years..... Slowly, slowly..... They would get to 20 years....

Once they throw conversations in the air, not too long after, implementation occurs.....

Spaces in the care sector are already opening though there is still relative glut.

Agencies that used to offer escalated rates plus mileage/transport but stopped when alot of entrants arrived are now beginning to improve pay as shifts are gradually becoming more difficult to fill.

I had the account with them before I relocated but I think if you download their app you should be able to register an account with them. I wasn't in Nigeria when I got the account. Good thing is you get a virtual account you can transfer funds into and it updates real-time.

Zahra29:
Only applies to temporary Indian transfers as they would be paying social security contributions in their own country - and vice versa with British transfers to India.

Similar arrangements already exist for transfers from the EU, US , Singapore and others

That's the kind of news we want to hear in this modern times, not gaslighting and bigotry that sets everyone back

i don't even understand what the hell you just wrote..do you understand the concept of wealth creation in economics at all?or is the Trump administration telling you the government is raising tariffs to raise money to pay debts?jeez where do you get your info from?
Tarrifs,what we call import duties is not paid by exporters but importers .. which is mostly citizens of importing country the USA citizens

Not the Chinese or Canadian citizens..and high tarrifs is only meant to give opportunity for local industry to thrive..but the world has evolved from that ..where you don't have strength you don't ..bettee still subsidize uour local industry for like 10 years where it can have competitive advantage over other countries own..thats what China did ,thats bettee than talking too much and swinging a hammerhead in a Chinese store,pun intended.
