The title does say "Nigerian students, others".
You did not read that?

Where does it say "only Nigerian students"?

Not all countries are affected the same way. For example, Francophone countries like Senegal have some preferential treatment.

Algeria had a special arrangement.

Nigeria is bottom on the list because it is not Francophone, it is on France's red list for human trafficking and prostitution, organised crime and benefits fraud.

Nigeria has also recently received similar treatment in the UK and so it is correct to highlight Nigeria in the title.

Why are people like you always on the side of making Nigeria seem negative. For your information, this has nothing to do with Nigeria. European countries are tightening their borders due to asylum seekers and foreigners who end up becoming a problem to the country. Also, they are trying to curb situations where foreigners end up messing up their social benefits scheme like CAF.

The same Fubara will disappoint them at the end. Trusting these politicians as if they have your interest at heart.

If you are thinking that prices will fall, forget about it

NNPC is now a private company. Which means theoretically speaking it has to raise its own money. Which means fuel has to be sold at market price, not at subsidised price.

If it doesn't fall, it will be stable. If we can achieve stability in the price of fuel, then, this is a good achievement too.

Critics who always look for every reason to criticise

No Godfatherism in Rivers state



If Wike wants to be a godfather he should change his state of origin to one of the Oduduwa states where slavery turns them on



PH no be Lagos and will never be till death



Even if Sim resigns and Wike appoints his younger brother, the Rivers blood in him will resist Godfatherism within a year



If he doesn’t resist Godfatherism then check well well he’s a product of infidelity or was adopted from Ekiti

The same noise that led Edo state to the shambles it is today. Everyday, Edo people keep making noise about their Governor. You guys want to start the usual and at the end regret it again. No politician is worth defending, they are all the same. Till we have that sense, we will start thinking I'm the right direction.

Thank you Jesus

Congratulations. Did you do upfront medical long before you applied? Also, when was your medical updated to pass? I asked because I haven't seen any update on medical on my page

Nonino:
Good evening my people
My God grant us our wishes Amen

I reapplied on 1st November till now no information yet hope all is wellooo

Secondly ircc visa officers are they going on end of the year holiday?
If yes when.

On holiday, I think the general holidays in Canada affect the Visa Officers - 25th, 26th and 31st

enemerci:
Please I just got this mail from IOM.
Does this mean that medicals I did since 9th November is just ready. Ahhhhh
Or does it mean IRCC just requested for the results and they are informing they've sent it.

Is this the normal procedure. Please those that did medicals with IOM please enlighten me.

The date when the document was sent to IRCC is on the document. Just check

Supremos:
UK and Canada is tightening their immigration loose ends apparently because they have figured more Nigerians are willing to sell everything and Japa.

What % of Nigerian has such amount of money for traveling?. And if you have such amount, what are you traveling out for?.

I now understand what Peter Obi meant by governance is all about giving hope to the citizens.

Nigerians has totally lost hope in the entity called Nigeria.

Even Jj Omojuwa ran away to UK.

This is not the case here. Economic recession is affecting Canada and the Cost of living has increased. Since proof of funds is to show that you have sufficient funds to sustain yourself while in Canada, it is okay to increase this to reflect the economic situation. It has nothing to do with Nigerians

TundeBricklayer:
You guys no get common sense Nigeria economy has collapsed so Peter Obi is the cause of the hardship Nigerians are facing? When will you guys get common sense, election is over for months now still some idiot.ts struggling to eat still wasting their use..less time over Peter Obi

This isn't about common sense but a confirmation that all politicians are the same including Peter Obi

A story teller who didn't make any tangible difference in Anambra. Yet, keeps talking like he has all the solution to Nigeria's problems. It's sick.

All politicians are the same. The talk but do not perform

TheRealestGuy:
🤣 🤣

And you think you're the only one who has travelled?

Funny dude!

Anyway, just to ensure we're not deviating from the point of discussion, I countered your notion that calling an older person by their name is disrespectful.

I maintain that it is not disrespectful in any way and is infact civil and polite.

I also maintain that respect can only be earned by giving it. And that this "culture" of respecting your elders is part of why Africa has largely remained in the 20th century.

It is mental subjugation to insist that everyone younger than you must add a Sir or Ma to your name or call you Aunt or Uncle.

If you know anything about child psychology, you will agree that such subjugation leads to a docile and subservient adult population, which is exactly what Nigerians have become over generations. You only become animated once you or your religion or tribe is "disrespected".

At the end of the day, a culture must be dynamic, and propel its practitioners towards a better future.

I have never alluded to us doing away with our cultural values. Rather, I'm simply advocating for us to continually introspect and improve aspects of our culture that no longer serve us or harm us.

I will leave you with a practical example of how this your concept of respect is a problem.

In the private sector, an overwhelming majority of organisations operate on a first name basis from Board members to the lowest ranked employee. Juxtapose this with the public sector where there's your kind of "respect".

Do you not see the remarkable differences in employee productivity, output and innovation between both sectors?

While the difference in "cultural values" in both sectors is not the sole reason for the marked difference in characteristics and output, it is well known in the business world that "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast".

I rest my case.

I won't be lengthy in my response anymore as I see you are just bent on your position. Culture has nothing to do with the backwardness in Africa. There are countries who uphold their culture and still made progress.

Miyachi:
Did I talk about politics? If you interpreted my post that way, then you are to blame. What I was referring to is how I've seen a lot of older people misbehaving but are given leeway because the are "elders" and I'm not even talking about politics.

You speak of culture as if Nigeria's is homogenous. You've forgotten that what is acceptable in certain parts is completely frowned upon in other parts.

This lady is in entertainment and so she should expect to be referred to by her name. Your fans will not call you Madam or Ma or Mrs. That is all balderdash.

Wasn't the entertainment industry copied from the west, do you see them going about calling there actors Ma, Sir and all?

The black man's mind is so backward and we grasp at very foolish issues and make them seem important.

Entertainment never came from the west. We had our unique way of entertainment. We only borrowed their technology and also, brought some improvement to ours This is one of the problem why you never value anything that is ours but seem to see the western practice as being better.

Black man's mind isn't backward. If that's the case, we shouldn't have heard of many black men who made giant strides and are recognised globally. Can you see where the issue is with your narrative? Believing anything western is okay but yours is backward.

I have been to many countries with technological advancement and yet, still see them uphold their culture with respect and value for the elders. Yet, what we have, we lose it because we want to be like the west.

Culture is just a way of life and we should start having the right thoughts about our culture. She expressed her view and she should be respected for this.

TheRealestGuy:
You're mistaken being civil or polite for respect.

Respect is earned by giving it hence the phrase respect is reciprocal.

No one automatically deserves respect in any situation, except maybe one's parents cos they birthed you but even then, if one's parents consistently disrespect their child then they actually deserve whatever they get.

Your mindset is very disturbing but I'm not surprised - it's what has kept Nigerians in bondage for decades.

People don't speak the truth to criminals in the society in the name of respecting one's elders.

You better wake up and free yourself from such a subservient mentality!

It is your mindset that has rather made Nigeria inferior to the western practice. Culture is different from politics. Practicing our culture doesn't mean that truth shouldn't be spoken.

It is people like you who have ruined our culture because of seemingly better western practices. You still have the slavery mentality and you need to free yourself from this.

So, we are both clear I have travelled out of the shores of Nigeria and I have been to countries technologically advanced, yet, they uphold their culture. It is your mentality that has rather ruined Nigeria.

Culture is not politics and it is neither technological development. It is just a way of life.

TheRealestGuy:
Culture of subjugation that never brought any technological or scientific innovation

When did calling people by their name become disrespectful?

Yes I know in some Nigerian cultures, emphasis is placed on using prefixes like Aunty, Uncle, Sir and Ma but all those do not necessarily equal respect.

Respect is usually earned and thus, people may call someone by those prefixes and still disrespect them thoroughly.

For example I've heard so many times where people say "brother yen o gbadun", "iya yen siwin", etc.

Salutation has never meant respect at any time in history but will you learn?

Respect is earned has always being the narrative of the disrespectful in many situations I have seen. An adult doesn't have to earn any respect but they deserve the respect irrespective of their character. This is where culture comes in. Culture has nothing to do with technological or scientific development as there is no connection whatsoever. Instead, it is part of societal values. Why are the westerners imbibing our culture now while we are losing ours while copying theirs? Do they want to go backwards technologically by doing this? Going by your own narrative. It's really sad.

Miyachi:
Of what use is culture if it doesn't bring progress. We should have continued the killing of twins and child marriages since they were part of our culture.

State that it's a preference and be done with it but don't come and hide behind culture. Is culture divine, isn't it man-made?

I think too much respect (or reverence) for elders is why we are in such a mess in this country. You see old people misbehaving and you look the other way because they are old.

I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to a person by their name but if it's their preference that I don't, fine. It isn't a dearth of respect on my part.

Culture has nothing to do with politics. This is just the usual style of connecting everything to the situation of the country. When has respect for elders stopped the youth from coming out to contest in an election? Or have we not seen some youths who also messed up in politics? Does this have anything to do with culture?

It's time we go back to our values and unique culture and create a sane society. It's the disrespect and disregard for our culture that has led to moral decadence in the society and no headway anymore.

Validated:
Who approved the building plan?
How much was paid to LASG for the approval?
Why is Tinubu's Bourdillon house, which clearly contravened the original Ikoyi masterplan not yet marked for demolition?

Were the buildings approved? Why build over waterways? Are the developers not educated enough to know that civil structures such as waterways are not meant to be filled for construction works?

Let's also ask these questions too

ivolt:
Good.
That old man will finally find what he is looking for all in the name of inheritance.
What a shame.

This has nothing to do with inheritance but the son marrying a deceitful family and scammers.

iamoyindamola:
Peele arugbo ojo

When you lose your culture and morals, you end up with words as yours.

She has said nothing wrong. We are gradually losing our culture to copy western practice whereas some of these westerners are gradually imbibing our culture. Respect and values are key.

Shattuck:
neither the aworis nor the binis can lay claim to the entire Lagos, the aworis had their territory in Lagos the binis also had their territory, Lagos is a state just like osun, just like you have the Ooni of ife who governs the ife territory of osun state, there are also other traditional rulers in the same osun, you can't come today and claim the ancestors of the Ooni founded osun state they only founded ife, same can be said about Lagos and how you guys always try to make it look like the aworis controlled the entire Lagos, the binis also had their territory, which means the oba isn't wrong.

The Aworis spread across many areas of Lagos but same can't be said of the Binis

kingthreat:
Sorry but what has she done to deserve the reputation of a SAN.
We know what likes of Ozekhome and Gani did to elevated to the SAN level but now being married to a top lawyer gives one the access to become a SAN
Femi Falana keeps deceiving the world that he is a human rights activist. He is one of the problems of the Nigerian system.

Since you are clueless as to what she has done, you should have kept quiet than giving this silly conclusion. You have no clue, yet dropping nonsense.

I just don't understand why we can't first do some research before stating nonsense.

One of the few brave honorable Yoruba sons alive.


Fela Kuti

Gani Fawehinmi
Pa Ayo Adebanjo

Akinwunmi Adesina
Prof Yemi Osinbajo
Olusegun Obasanjo
Col Fajuyi

etc



Not the criminal, terrorist, Owomida chasing, Owo Osole ravaged Yoruba Ronu Youths of our time

When I saw Obasanjo on the list, I knew for sure that you are not sincere. Except if you want to tell me that being 'brave' and 'honourable' is all about letter writing

christejames:
Let's go back to our ancient architecture or modernize it like this... ☺



I don't even know what our architectural students are being taught in our universities 😏, nothing exceptional in their designs, always that 'square design' with 'send down the rain rooftop' that is prominent at almost every estate in the country




You guys can do better, be more creative abeg, architecture is more of an art, and arts are unique representation of life, so guard it!

You are 100% correct. You get to see that the most creative architectural designs you see in Lagos are the 'imported' designs from South Africa.

Queengee:
Just the same way Tinubu is treating Ronu people like use and dump pieces of craps that now their daughters are doing hookup boys Yahoo , parents lamenting and begging for alms

This only happened in your thoughts based on bitterness.

Ola9ja23:
As usual, Nigerians Jews have started crying again 😂🤣🤣😄😀😀😄

It has nothing to do with Nigerian Jews. These same countries who filed a case at ICC will do same as Israel if they encounter such. You can't attack a country,take their citizens away to use as human shield and expect them not to attack back even in a worse manner.

We are just not sincere in this matter. The only concern in this matter is the lives of innocent citizens lost at both Hamas and Israel. This is what should be condemned. Hamas rejoiced when they did the evil and yet, couldn't better a greater evil. It's sad

It is obvious that those bent on making money out of Mr. Ibu's condition are behind this.

They are not concerned about his health but the money donated and how it should be diverted for personal use instead of addressing this man's health condition.

Anyenmoney:
Which story are we going to believe?
So the wife is trying to remove herself from the picture,. Na wa oh!
RIP Mohbad.

When the fight started, she was not there. When the nurse injected the guy, she was in the kitchen.

Only God knows who it telling the truth

nedekid:
That obituary one is going too far though.
One guy I knew, I suddenly got his obituary. I called his close friend who was shocked too. Later he called be that his friend was alive and well, that it's was loan app people. That his paddy was in the habit of taking money and not paying.
Guess what, next call I got few weeks later (don't think it was months), the guy died!
He was found in his appartmemt dead.

If the family of the guy takes it up, the loan company can be sued for this and they will definitely win. Declaring the obituary of someone who is still alive means a lot. It could also be that this act led to the guy probably committing suicide.

nedekid:
So loan company should involve the appropriate authority or do all you suggested ontop 10, 20, 30k?
Yeah, they should sue the defaulter also, pay lawyers 500k, 1,000,000 to chase 10, 20, 30k?

So, obituary is the solution, right? If they can't address matters legally they should not engage in the business. It's that simple.

Wisereborn:
For your mind now that was a nice clap back

But you drove them to that desperation, if you had paid as per agreement, would they have resulted to that

You guys are funny, you become desperate when in need, someone comes to your rescue and this is how you choose to pay back

What is wrong with you guys and some of you are here blaming the hapi boys you ungrateful lots

What's wrong in the loan company doing the right thing and not declaring the person dead? Would such declaration bring out the money? Isn't that sick in the first instance?

Asides this, why can't the company make use of the grace period in repayment and also, work according to the interest introduced when a client defaults in repayment? If all options elapse, involve the appropriate authority on the matter. At least, there was an agreement signed before the loan was approved.

seguno2:
You should revisit your English lessons on comparative grammar.
Thank me later.

It has nothing to do with English. It's only childish individuals who lack reasoning stoop so low when it comes to objective discussions. You need to grow up. You are still a baby.

Do you know about corruption better than Transparency International

Whether Transparency International talked about the corruption in Nigeria or not, it still does not absolve the Goodluck's administration of corruption. The ongoing case in the UK speaks so much of the Goodluck's administration. So, it's best you accept the fact that Goodluck contributed greatly to ruining Nigeria
