It is high time major markets in Nigeria have fire trucks stationed near them exclusively for the markets and have regular Fire drills.

I schooled here in the UK, an in-demand skill (Clinical Child Psychology) and got selected for the advertised role despite having British citizens as fellow applicants and this is what I know. |

Makes very little sense still. 30M just like that It did cost me about N6m in tuition fees when I came for my postgraduate studies and it worth every penny as the return on investing in myself through that, has been very high....... .I did my research very well before relocating to the UK through that route. |

Not like Canada or USA or Australia Dem wan enter UK, any course was okay for them but majority realized they wasted funds upon arrival in the UK. Why do a Masters in International Business Management when you could have spent the same amount to get a Msc in Psychology that would launch you into a professional pathway in mental health services in the UK irrespective of what you studied in Nigeria! |

Putindbutt: Your problem is English, your emotional rants does not negate the fact that Airpeace does not have the financial and technical capacity to become a national carrier, Government cannot afford to bail out an airline with low capacity. Ethiopian air is big and competes with other foreing big players but unfortunately, the minister didn't go through due process. That "unfortunately" has cost Nigeria loss in billions of naira and public ridicule and "fortunately" the spearman of the fraud (Hadi Sirika) is quietly enjoying his loots without any prosecution because he is cornfied while you are here displaying your emotional dysregulation!  |

Putindbutt: Does airpeace have the financial muscles?, no he doesn't. Can he compete with foreign airlines. No, he can't. Government cannot afford dumping money into such a venture to bail it out. And where has the FG said it has singly financially bailed out Air Peace, out of all the airlines operating in Nigeria? Even the fake "Air Nigeria" was never envisaged to even compete with foreign airlines on the level of financial muscles that it had to scam gullible Nigerians by borrowing an aircraft from Ethiopian Airline and returned it, after the show off. And while you keep licking Putin's butt and washing it down with some fermented corn, don't skip your antipsychotics ever again! |

MT: FYA Mindlog And that "definition" of wealth is what has made 99% of bank account owners in Nigeria have less than N500k in their accounts, made about two-third of Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty.....a "definition" that has put high pressures on Nigerians, thus the low life expectancy rate. I have made conscious efforts to disconnect from such "definition". |
Crime › Re: £400,000 Fraud: Three Nigerians Jailed in UK by Mindlog: 11:50am On Mar 16, 2024 |
MT: While your argument was persuasive, you could not deny that for every one like you we have over 100 of individuals who are at the wrong end of the stick.
Some are so frustrated with what they are currently doing that they want out desperately, and they wont mind what it takes to get a sizable amount of money to restart their lives somewhere else because they feel they have invested in the country as well.
Such notion is wrong and should be condemned but it is a reality.
An average african man is not satisfied with the definition of UK comfortablility (which you described in your write up). Africa culture has a different definition to comfortabilty.
I repeat, I am not making an excuse for them, my intention was to tell others coming to have a realistic assessment of the country they are coming into and lower their expectations at the same time. Few people realise the dream of African definiton of wealth while living abroad even as a professional, as the system is rigged to always "take more" the higher you go. "Africa culture has a different definition to comfortability".......mind explaining this? |

MT: Well if you cant see it using my lenses , I cant help you.
At the bolded, you will respond to your own questions.
It is an open secret that most people are getting by and not living their dreams in the western nations. Are you saying because you are making an "honest" earning, it is enough to satisfy your dream? Individuals react differently to situations. Someone that dreams to be an engineer, but working in a care home, is making an "honest" living but will never be happy or satisfied, irrespective of the money being made. That is human nature for you.
Your idea of "basic" living is different for each individual. Your life cannot be accepted as a standard for others.
If this happens in Nigeria, it is so convenient to make a blanket statement that "Nigeria" happens to them when analysing what could have pushed them to crime.
Why do you guys put up a fight when we implicitly say "UK" happens to them? Afrerall, there is a reason for every action.
I came to the UK through study route, for my specialty in Clinical Child Psychology and now working as a CAMHS Neurodevelopmental Assessment Practitioner and on the pathway of achieving my UK Psychotherapist license.that is me living my dreams and wouldn't have achieved that in Nigeria. Some people need to "japa to grow" while some would be okay with their growth in their home countries. Basic living constitutes not being homeless, not going hungry nor getting hit by the elements because of inappropriate clothing for the prevailing weather. If those same guys happen to be in Nigeria, they would still engage in crime because their cores are disconnected from earning a honest living.....why didn't they stop after scamming their first £150,000, meaning each getting £50,000 which is the 25 months earnings of those "slaving" themselves in the UK? |

MT: This is a pointer to the fact that things are not easy anywhere in the world.
That UK you are dreaming of travelling to is where some people chose the way of fraud to make money. This is not peculiar to UK alone, it is all over the world. If life has been easy to them, most probably they wont go this route. I am not making any case for them, just showing that it is not easy anywhere.
Before you lose 14,000 GBP (Equivalent of 28 Million Naira) today, to get to UK where you will be slaving to make an average of 2000GBP per month (with almost 1300 to 1500- GBP gone with bills each month, without feeding and clothing and other miscellaneous expenses), think twice and have your plans mapped out.
The grass is not always greener at the other side. Those of you that think that when you get to western world, you are wealthy by default, let this story be your guide.
I am not saying people should not travel but please lower your expectation to avoid cases like this. You are making a case for them! Those guys are criminals who love stealing from others because they don't want to be involved in honest work that would pay for the basic comforts of life as they want to live large, show up at clubs, wear designer labels etc. I live in the UK, my honest earnings do take care of bills and some investments...so why should I choose the criminal path? How much are majority of Nigerians in Nigeria "slaving" to earn monthly? |
