No be the same lady you guys (led by FFK) were insulting the other day? Now una wan claim her as una own

Even siblings fight among themselves, it does not mean one will disown the other.

CodeTemplarr:
Great news in some ways. Before we were subsidising consumption and idleness.
People could afford to buy two litres to watch BBNAIJA and Telemundo series. Now it is strictly on a need basis. This will allow the use of power for more of production.

Some people say Nigeria has never done anything for them in their lifetime. These are the same set of people enjoying subsidies from education to electricity to petrol to dollars to pilgrimage etc. from the day they were born. Yet they act as ingrates.

Even those that collected cheap dollars through form A from CBN to pay for tuition fees abroad are cursing Nigeria as a country.

Yes you can curse the politician but not the country. Politicians ruin the country.

Now that Nigeria is not paying for subsidies again, all hell let loose.

Why are people not embracing polystrene, which is lightweight ?

The hacker has sent message to my email via whatsapp for reset.

Please how do i regain my whatsapp account back immediately with my number?

PLEASE TECH GURUS...

Did you tell the whole story?

What about the part you revealed your verification code?

It is impossible for a whatssap to be hacked if you had not given your verification code in error.

If you feel otherwise, educate me please.

He is logical.

Being brilliant and logical are two different things.

Some people are brilliant but not logical.

He has my immense respect.

Saner clime in the mud😄

This is a very very stupid explanation to give.

So immunity of a serving governor can be delegated or conferred on anyone living around him and anywhere he stays.

If the children of the governor, his wife, siblings, cousins etc kills someone, immunity covers them as long as they live in his house.

All the pots in Ododo's kitchen, his couch, lawn in his compound, fence, gate etc they all have immunity from prosecution. And to imagine Onanuga is drawing a symmetry of immunity of a diplomatic post to immunity of a political office holder.

When the government of Kogi State is suppose to be sued for obstruction of justice, this unfortunate presidential aide is giving a rather clownish explanation

Apt.

It's a show of shame.

The Governor, Ododo does not have power to delegate or confer the immunity he is enjoying. The immunity only applies to him. It does not even apply to his residence. The comparison to the Consulates was highly flawed.

I know Nigeria is not where it should be but i won't say bad about the country because i know it holds lot of potentials. We have issues of bad leadership but we have great abd resourceful people.

So its best we dont speak bad about our motherland irrespective of where we find our selves

God bless you RICHLY.

Gerrard59:
His "problem" has been with the recent influx of Nigerian immigrants into the UK. Simple. Also, he seems to have an issue with successful young Nigerians residing abroad who don't support the way things are in Nigeria. To him, everyone should be "patriotic" just as he's - a typical APC supporter mentality.

My problem with you guys is talking down a country whose passport you hold.

Stop cursing the country. Stop being happy when you see things not working.

At the end of the day, you can never be accepted where you are eyeing.

Do constructive criticism.

Either you make or not, it is not my problem. Respect your own country of birth. Stop acting like a bastard

SIRTee15:
Guy quit it.
If you have problem with UK, just say so.
U said your tech friends are doing well in naija. What does that tell U about tech guys in uk- U think they will be in penury.
Guy my friends in tech in UK are doing really well. All of them are into their 2nd or even 3rd property, sending their kids to private schools and living in expensive neighborhood.
And I hope U know there are thousands of naija in the UK tech sector.
Tech is the big meat globally, so don't make it look like naija tech guys are living a special life their contemporary abroad are deprived of.

In fact, after USA, I will rate UK tech industry above any other country....mainly due to the strong financial institutions.

Now the question is outside of tech that you have been yarping about, which of the 2 countries offer better career opportunities btw UK and naija

The answer is UK. The training U receive in UK can open doors for U anywhere in the world. Lots of recruiters favours UK professionals esp in places like middle east, far east and even other Anglophile nations.
UK nationals- white or other ethnicities occupies the top expatriate professional list in Dubai.
I'm a testament to above. So U trying desperately disparage UK for whatever reasons makes no sense.

UK definitely has it's own problems esp with poor wage and rising cost of living. But to write it off based on some prejudice or bias analysis makes no sense.

UK is far better than naija. Even my sister that arrived UK few years ago that I thought would jump at my Canada job offer declined it. She said she's happy and settled in the UK. To be honest, I was surprised at her answer.
Note my sister had a very good federal parastatal job in naija b4 relocating to UK. I was vehemently against her coming to UK and I warned her not to resign her job b4 coming.
So U will understand my shock when she told she has no plans to leave UK. Well....she's always been an hustler right from teenage years, that could explain it.

You turned everything upside down.

Maybe you need to revisit the thread and re-read.

i will never slight tech guys anywhere in the world, if they have the technical depth.

Irrespective of where they are, they will ball.

tensazangetsu20:
Okay i am in the mood now.

Attached is my first contract for an automotive manufacturer in the US I work for remotely

I make 4000 usd a month from that job. I have a second part time job with a company from the dominican republic which i make 2500 usd a month equivalently and my last job which i just got recently is with the chilean state bank where i earn 2.6 million pesos which comes down to around 3000 usd a month. I am also attaching a screenshot of my taxes which I pay from my american job. We no be mates.

You can see that my tax payments coincides with when i got my first remote job as I pay 3 taxes in chile but one of them is as an independent contractor which I need to file for every month F29. My total taxes every month is around 1.3 million chilean pesos. Many chileans dont even earn above 500000 pesos.

I still have another part time job I don't even wanna talk about and I am also trying to get an offer with another bank. My dms have been a mess since I started working for the Chilean state bank

Are you alright at all?

The currency is not indicated on your payslip but I would even assume your salary is based on the US dollars. You make 2,769.49 per month. In July, you worked overtime and you earned 3,105 USD. This is your Net pay (after tax is deducted).

You will pay bills, you will eat. How much does it remains? You are barely getting by.

So, where is your much touted 10,000 USD per month coming from.

Stop having an exagerrated opinion about yourself. Cockroach behaving like bird.

tensazangetsu20:
Gerrard is like my brother and has seen my payslips and job contracts. As for nairaland I have nothing aside tormenting APC supporters like you and wishing you guys continue to have a miserable life

Ha!

You are a pathological liar!.

As a student, you are earning 10,000 USD per month in Chile

Many professionals who are citizens in the UK, Germany, Canada and US cannot even boast of such.

Gerrard59, I swear, this guy is fooling you.

You guys are just impossible!

tensazangetsu20:
He say na bank

Your friend on Nairaland says you are earning 10k USD per month in Chile as a student.

I assumed that was the story you are feeding them

Joker

Savagethe21st:
bro we don't earn lots of money. Firstly nigerian main banks (not fintech startups) usually employ us as contractors(not fulltime) then they pay us within they range us 500 -600k which is not up to 400 dollars now. Fintechs also pay that range or less. To make a million you need to work for more than two at a time which is very stressful and challenging

The bolded is a big lie and I know some tech guys, reading your comment, are making a fool out of you right now .

One, why are you guys so addicted to the US dollars? Why are you converting your earning to dollars? Are you spending dollars in Nigeria? Are you exposed to the same cost of living? Are you living in the United States?

Two, you are employed on a temporal basis as a contractor. They needed more hands and they brought you in, after which you will be discarded. You are not a full time tech staff of the bank. You are not entitled to any perks.

Three, your payment is fully dependent on the banks you work for, your tech competencies, your grade. You are a contract staff, and if you demonstrate a vast technical depth, the bank will transition you to a full staff.

Four, if you as a contractor can earn between 500 to 600, can you figure out how much a full time bank tech staff is earning ?. And going by this salary you are earning as a contractor, you are not a senior. Just learning the ropes.

So, I don't understand what you meant by "we" don't earn that much. Thats quite generalistic, talk about your own situation.

Kelechi009:
He is using specific Individuals as his measuring stick, I am not poor in Nigeria, at least whenever I am there but I cannot use myself as a measuring stick because the state of the economy is in disarray & we all know it. I have seen this trend especially with people such as Lyin guy from ex-Flutterwave. They constantly push the narrative that Nigeria is doing great while people suffer in penury. I have cursed his life & his generations never to cross my path again. Politics section people are just full of rogues.

May I remind you that you have never been abroad before according to your past post? Everything you knew was through "hearsay"

Mindlog:
That one needed connection in government to get a public service job abroad as it is in Nigeria, I got one in London and had no connection with anyone in government, so don't blanket it.

In your bid to counter, you rushed into typing.

At no point did I mention that EVERYONE that gets job in a Govt establishment MUST have connection. Even in Nigeria, it is not all the time but people use connection to get jobs in govt parastatal, both in Nigeria & Western world.

How is that difficult to understand?

princemaths:
my friend shut up there is no high paying tech job anywhere in Nigeria except you're into scams. Why not show us your own job. You're just a 20k paid APC made to spread lies as you're doing.

A country with no 24/7 light and high speed internet is going no where in tech. 90% of fforeign companies want nothing to do with Nigerians. So shut your mouth and go back to your pithole

So, you are this dull.

I read the bolded twice, and I feel sorry for you.

How can you go for it, if you do not even know it exists ?. Damn! You are too myopic.

afroxyz:
I hope you're not planning to be applying on benefits? Nobody gets rich on benefits. It is a poverty sinkhole that once you start, it would be difficult to stop.

Tell them again and be louder

Mindlog:
Corruption is everywhere in the world and by the way, they are many born and raised Nigerians at the very top management level in the borough, I see their details on our intranet and that is reassuring that if they can get there, I also can.

So why were you arguing otherwise at the bolded in your previous post?

jayce232:
I don't need to be abroad to know the current economy system in Nigeria is damaged! Learn to be reasonable, this is a public forum.

With what I can deduce, it is you who is damaged and not Nigeria.

Get a skill, and start from there.

Your friends have left you behind in droves to better their own lives, stop being their unpaid mouthpiece

jayce232:
He is winning because by selling those properties, he has secured a better future for his kids & himself & can even acquire double of those properties if he plans well. I had a close friend who sold his big private school to take his family to Canada & I asked him what warranted such decision, he said he was doing it for the future of his kids. This was during Bubari first term, going by what is happening in the country now, I can say he made the best decision.

Everything about your life is always my friends say this and that.

When exactly will you find something to say to other people too, for them to quote you?

Don't you think you need to get a life? Just asking

Mindlog:
You lie!

I am presently a public service worker (govt worker) with a London borough. They advertised a job vacancy on their website, LinkedIn and Indeed.

We were 217 that applied for the job, 34 was shortlisted for the interview which we had at their council headquarters near London bridge.

I was the only one who scaled through and got hired despite still being on the skilled worker visa route and so many other applicants were British citizens. They went through the stress of thoroughly contacting all my references in the Countries I have schooled and worked in and I finally got to switch sponsor.

Now , enjoying the job with good pay package, beautiful working environment few minutes walk to the iconic London bridge and Tower bridge.

My "connection" was my academic qualifications, work history, evident professional skills and God's grace.

With time, you will be exposed to all the dirts in the system.

It looks seemingly perfect to you now. Spend some time or move up the ladder to management level, you will see they are
quite corrupt in the government establishment in the western worlds.

femi4:
I have 3 certificates and I am not using any of them. It was my delivery on the job that kept me there. Infact, the min qualification for the job is GCE

You are well informed.

We have lot of UK graduates with no value now.

Most of them pay some individuals to do their course works for them in Nigeria. They learn nothing from the course.

They are lucky UK doesn't do exam to test them but mainly coursework-based, otherwise most people will not graduate.

How do you explain a UK graduate in a STEM course doing care jobs?

femi4:
They don't certificate. They rate skills and experience. Your 12-16 months won't give you that edge. Do you now the number of graduates UK school produce every year? The job market is saturated that you need to provide something special to be chosen. It's not Nigeria that your Msc cert automatically get you a job even when you can't defend it

Tell them, please

If only they know the UK universities are packaging most MSc certificates for them in mostly silly courses in order to collect money from them, they will understand.

I am sure, they will, with time. Hopefully, it won't be too late.

jayce232:
Can u please stop being unreasonable??
I have lots of friends in the UK & US , they are all doing well. One even had to resign his lecturing job to travel to the UK & dude has accomplished a lot. The system matters! Didn't u read where he stated not for once he experienced power failure for a second in the UK? You can paint a bad system to look good just because of very privileged few. Even in war torn nations, u will still have some privileged few doing well, but how are the majority coping? A lot of Nigerians can't even feed in this current economy & u writing this nonsense?? Idiot.

The worst set of people to debate are individuals who have never been abroad before but rather learn about it through "hearsay".

You are not informed.

I cant waste my time on you.

Gerrard59:
I would sound like a broken record, but Tensa20 is doing very well as he earns not less than $10K per month even on a student visa.

What do you have against Chile - South America's most developed and prosperous country?

lol. Typical Nigerians!

You have become his personal accountants to know that he is earning 10k USD per month in Chile as a student.

Very hilarious. Students in UK. Germany, Canada, US will not dare mention the figure you just tossed out.

Sad, a lot of people would read what you just typed here and profile your future posts.

If that was what he was feeding you, I am sorry to burst your bubble. It was a LIE from the pit of hell, unless he is a drug mule !!
