LegendHero:
The dearMoon mission – a trip around the moon- scheduled for 2023 will be embarked upon by nine passengers aboard a Starship, including Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and a choreographer of Nigerian origin, Yemi Akinyemi Dele.

The trip, which will loop around – but not land on – the moon, is tagged the “dearMoon mission” sponsored by Maezawa, who said the experience would be shared with about six to eight artists, including painters, sculptors, fashion designers and architects, who will all fly free of charge.

Maezawa expects that the flight will influence artists in their creation of new art, which will be presented after their return to Earth, to inspire other humans and promote world peace.

He invited artists around the world to apply for the opportunity and, on December 8, 2022, announced eight crew members out of over a million applications who will embark on the six-day journey around the moon. On the flight would be a Nigerian-Czech choreographer and multidisciplinary creative artist, Yemi Akinyemi Dele.

I will have to text my elder brother to confirm, because he was actually the 1st Nigerian to visit the moon in the late 80s. My Late Dad's friend who returned from the UK that same year told my Dad & brought newspaper publications as evidence

pansophist:
It's a scam. I use world remit to send money to Nigeria always even last week, and the confirmation you received is not how it looks.

They are to receive it in dollars, so the conversion is a giveaway. Also, cashing out is free. You don't pay anything.

.

justwise:


Non. Is either you take euros or dollars,

Oh ok, thanks.
But why would zenith Bank operate a pound Dom account when they know there's no support for transfer of GBP to the Dom account

Justwise, abeg I need your help here...
I have a Pound ₤ domiciliary account with Zenith Bank, my bro from the UK want to send Pound ₤ to my account, but each time he tries either with Azimo or worldremit, the option there is only euro or dollar. Please , do you know any international money transfer app that allows the transfer or pound ₤ into a pounds Dom account?
It's urgent pls

clarocuzioo:


Please can you shed more light on this. We need to get informed.

Bro, Gwafaeziokwu is very correct, Ogwu-aniocha and Ogwu-ikpele(both in Ogbaru LGA of Anambra state) has large deposit of oil and gas. Sterling (SEEPCO) is not the only oil and gas exploration company carrying out this atrocity of drilling and milking Anambra oil and transporting it to Delta (Okpai and Kwale(presently SEEPCO is building a refinery in Kwale). Another Indian company; BOGEL(British Oil and Gas Exploration Company ) is equally doing that. I know this because my friend works in one of their rig in Ogwu. Utchi (Obala-Uchi) and Okpai are both in Ndokwa East LGA of Delta state while Omoku is in River state, they all share boundary.
, Kinematics and IgweofNnewi, pls stop the hate, Anambra has large deposit of oil and gas
Below is my friend's whatsApp status in their Ogwu rig in Anambra state. They work 3 weeks on 1week off

henro757:

Thanks for your response greatly appreciated, I have been a silent follower of you for a decade, I decided to post this as soon as this bad guy here arrived

Congrats bro on the arrival of the good bad guy, no airport official will lookdown on you again.
Abeg when did you apply for the pp? what was the cost and how long did it take to be ready? I am saving to go through this process because i am eligible by descent. Although my pman(a citizen by naturalization) don die but all his document are intact. It's been 3years after NYSC no job. Mavo, i see say u be wafi, i served close to Warri

claremont:


It's not the only country. It can be done in the UK, and many students have transitioned to British citizens in 5 years.

I support the view of the OP based on the current immigration climate in the UK. I would join the OP to urge prospective international students to consider migrating to countries with flexible immigration policies. The UK has got one of the best tertiary education systems in the world, but the downside of the UK is that it has a draconian immigration structure, even more so with the 'Brexit' decision. If the intention of the international student is to get a good education and go back to his/her country, then by all means, come to the UK; but if the intention is to stay behind after studies, it's increasingly difficult (not impossible) to do that in the UK.

There are only 3 main routes of staying behind for an international student in the UK; these are the Tier 1/2 visa route, the marriage route, or the British Army route. These routes are not easy to get, and the system has got safeguards (pitfalls) that you must go through to get to the end point i.e. British passport.

I just stumbled on this, bro pls is it true that one can get residency/work permit if u have a child by a British citizen while in the UK, someone told me this but I want to know if it is true

OlaFash91:

jay7:


Please I will like to know the side huzzle you add to make you spend above all Nysc has in stock for you because with your analysis 19800*12=237600. State Allowance of 5k =60k for 12 months which know state pays more than 10 or 11 months, so 237600+60000=297,600. From what you have now 70,000 laptop plus 40,000 you send to your friend =110,000 plus the 180,000 you have it will be 290,000, mind you I know you haven't been paid the last 41,100 and I have already included it in my calculations. So tell me don't you eat, buy things throughout your service year?

My side huzzle is within..

I am serving in a small secured village with good road network, I don't pay rent & I don't board bike coz it is a small village

Before I went for Nysc I have already made up my mind to save 10k each month + 55k state allawee ( state allawee is 11months).

When I got posted to my ppa I got along well with the old corpers who told how they operate..
School is understaffed & I held my ground that I will only take one class(ss1, physics) which the principal reluctantly agreed.

Side Huzzle?
I am earning 10k each from 2 ghosting npower teachers , started since November to this month


Feeding?
I buy food in bulk that will last me for the full month...(sometimes it will take me to the 2nd week of the following month)

Beans: 1 & half custard bucket = 1500
Rice: 1 bucket = 1500
Garri: 4 bucket =2000
other things = 200
2bags of sachet water for a week =220
I cut my hair 2x in a month = 500
Cash at hand for each month =4k
Filling of 5kg gas =1750( I fill once in 2 months)
Data sub= 12k

Don't forget I was paid 26k as an inec adhoc staff during the general election

Abeg I don tire to type

Katier00:
You earn 60k to 80k and you were able to save 400k in less than a year. What's the secret bro? Don't leave your parents house just yet. Save up to 1m and buy a low cost land since you are not good in doing business. When it appreciates a little, sell and buy two more .Stay there sef till you wan marry. Be focus, you are not far from being successful

Secrete is self discipline & been frugal just like me..

As a corper who will be passing out on the 27th of this month, I have been able to save over 180k, add that to this month's final allawee & it will be over 200k.. Mind u, I have already bought a laptop(70k) to replaced my stolen one, occasionally send money to mama & even lent a friend 40k..

I serve in govt school with no stipend, but state allawee is 5k, I don't drink, i don't womanize , I don't v a gf coz that's not my priority now

justwise:
If he wants you to move to the UK the. Studies route is your best bet

Thanks justwise for d timely reply, pls pardon my curiosity...

By study route u mean Master? My 2.2 is below 3.0, what are my chances?
Pls can u elaborate

Oga Justwise & other gurus, pls help a brother with the right information..



Let me just go straight to the point. I am aged 29 a serving corp member & will pass out by July, B.sc computer science(2.2), I want to migrate to England to improve in my field & better my future. I have discussed extensively with my step brother who has promised to help, he is a citizen(born & bred) , though the last time he came to Nigeria, I have not been given birth to, we talk on phone & WhatsApp & he is doing perfectly well, infact he is into ict & was so happy to know I studied computer science, he even encouraged me to learn c++.
He told me to find out about the requirements I need & get back to him, pls brethren & experienced gurus in the house, help a brother with the right information, I will surely testify...

Nigeria is a joke

baby124:

Lol. No one will give your friend visa, not to talk of schengen visa when there is no evidence of him leaving his country on his passport aka Russian visa. He first has to seek asylum and get some kind of documentation before entering another country. Except he ran through the borders undetected. Your friend is lying to you and is probably on his way to Lagos. It’s such lies that keep fueling this stupidity. Don’t believe everything people tell you, think.

Lol, i should nt believe what my friend i v known since 2012, ate together, slept in thesame foam countless times, went to nyt class together told me, bt i shoud believe u ? All desame i appreciate bro tnx.
I can only wish him well

MrBrownJay1:


bro, let me be the bearer of bad news..... anybody who pays to get a visa is being scammed, and if your mate didnt even have $200 in his pocket while here in Europe then let us all hope it will not end up in misery like the brother who was scammed going to Azerbaidjan or Kazakhstan then telling people he was fine in Europe then commited suicide (after we find out he had already return in Abuja).

Well, I can only wish him well and hope everything turn out for good. We do chat always on fb and he seems happy

baby124:

Don’t mind the scammer. From football pass to schengen visa. Absolute impossibility. Onyii ko scammer ni

U are at liberty to believe what u want to believe, i am only saying what i was told coz we chat on fb almost every hour. He is a friend n a coursemate i met in d uni, pls return ur statement. I am nt a scammer, i v never had any dealing with u or anybody here.

MrBrownJay1:


ley me guess.....? you will now give us the name of some agents that can help anyone to go to Europe, right?!

I am nt an agent neither do i have any agent's contact, bt i am telling u d truth.
He is my friend, was my lodgemate/coursemate bk in d uni n startd making plans since 2016, i am happy for him coz as at 2wks ago, he told me he needed $200 to mk d move, i dnt v bt friends helped out n sent him d money.

YOUNGELDER1:


Na so e easy??

If u knw ur way, it is easy. My friend got a schengen visa n has crossed to finland since wednesday

Wiseandtrue:
If this is not a miracle, I wonder what else is

I remember years back, fr Emmanuel Obimma was highly shot at yet he came out without a scratch

Indeed there is a God in Heaven!

God works in a way no man can understand, i am a living witness. 06/09/2017 will remain evergreen, they pointed a gun at d bk of my head n shot me, bt the miracle working God saved me, the bullet shattered d foam but didnt touch me, how i found myself on d floor remain a mystery to me

Itzonlyme:

Naaah it should be the other way round. Let me quickly propose n pay ur dowry..Its a woman's world u know

abeg cum pay my own

Adadioranma79:
Im doing well, thanks for asking. Emotionally down ke?
Cheer up biko, nothing is big enough to steal your happiness, so dont let it.

I am trying dear, bt eachtime i remember d possibility of spending anoda yr at home, it steals my joy, coz it keep stagnating me n frustrating my plans

Adadioranma79:
Im not, how are you?

Expectantly and emotionally down...i am good, i thank God

u?

Adadioranma79:
You probably arent watching the really good ones then,
She is one of the best female producer and actress from way back. Im not a Nollywood fan but i watch her movie anytime i come across one.

Adadioranma79:
