I believe he had evaluated his options well enough before opening that thread. He didn't ask whether he should stay or not. You should have either answered the question if you had info or kept mute. That advice you gave there is what is called BUSYBODY!!  |

It is expected that the InfraCo Fund will help to close the national infrastructure gap and “provide a firm basis for increasing national economic productivity growth.” I can swear this is at least the 1500th time I'm hearing this exact statement. Why does it always seem like deja vu reading anything that concerns Nigerian government?  |

Travel › Re: What Is The Meaning Of "Is English Your First Language"? by nickvanilla(m): 5:46pm On Jan 02, 2021 |
It means; is English the first language you were introduced to after birth?
Whether you were born in a country that's not considered a native speaking country is not the question.
If English is the first language you learnt to speak, then it's your first language.
Some Nigerian children only know how to speak English. They may be Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa but they were not taught any other language apart from English while growing up. I even know Nigerians living here who would get lost if you try to talk to them in Pidgin English. |
Travel › Re: Please What Are The Travel Options That A Law Graduate Have? by nickvanilla(m): 5:57pm On Jan 01, 2021 |
I think in Europe, apart from the UK, it's kinda difficult to blend into the legal culture. Then there's the issue of language barrier. Law is a profession where your ability to manipulate words cleverly is a required skill, either when writing or speaking. How would a Nigerian lawyer move into a country like the Netherlands and start practicing? Very difficult I must say. It's possible to switch professions anyway to something relevant to the local economy. But I've observed that most schools would want you to study something related to your first degree. So moving from law to a STEM course is more possible with private universities where they are after your money.  UK, Canada, USA remain the best destinations for Nigerian lawyers, yet the competition is so fierce as other International trained lawyers in Africa, Asia and South America are also moving there in droves. So to sum it up and advise, I would say attend a private university and study a STEM course if you've got the money. If your pocket is not so deep, then you should go in to your desired destination with the aim of continuing your legal practice. You know you have to be willing to give 159% to stand out from the crowd. Who knows, you may be blessed with a favourable return. Gentlemen at the bar, I wish you all good luck!! |

Rootiab: how can one apply for it? I really don't know but you can find it out. What I heard some people do is look for a friend or someone who can offer them the job. Then when they get into Canada, they look for another job and start hustling. The way Nigerians think up these things baffle me. But it makes sense. I had a close family member tell me she has already gotten work visa via this program. Somehow, this is a very smart move considering that many Nigerians will find it difficult moving into Canada via express entry. Who is that person that has masters degree, 3 years work experience and below 30 years in Naija. Or is it student visa? How many people have the funds for it? Anyhow sha, do further research. It's possible. |

Icekyng: Please has anybody heard of this new UN-Tapped visa route called “Blue Print” before ? It's the home care pilot program. Nothing special there. Something a guy on youtube is selling for £50 or thereabouts. You apply for a job as a home care giver, your employer also processes your work visa and you move. It also aids in getting PR as a job offer in Canada gives 200 additional points. |

Racoon: Chronic borrowing or debt pillage is a sign of economic cluelessness.Servicing these debts in itself is not a sound economic policy because debt servicing is not debt payment
Cut costs of governance(salary of presidency/NASS, reduce foreign travels until really needful, disposed off the excess presidential jets, scrapping of redundant agencies esp.NNPC & merging of others,etc), no plea bargain for indicted corrupt persons, prospecting for alternate energy system, cut off wasteful oil exploration,
However, Nigeria's case @ present is a government that is just senselessly obsessed with endless borrowings. Perhaps until Nigeria is offered for sale by our creditors on e-bay, Amazon, OLX before una go understand what is @ stake. You've said it all. |

I would have come here to laugh but I have to be honest. This is the one of the best barca performances I have seen in recent times. Fati is extremely good. He shouldn't have been taken off IMO. Busquets is a genius. Trincao is a future balon d'or contender. Lenglet and Pique demonstrated why they are the best CB combination in the world. Neto is a revelation. He should play more often. And our GOAT, Messi. He was just unlucky today. But he was passionate.....yes he was. That vicious ball he kicked to the referee proved he's still on fire for Barcelona. Bad result? Yeah. But we muueeeve!!  |

Guy. There's nothing wrong with you. And ignore all these people saying you should "FOCUS". A lot of hypocrites on Nairaland.
Definitely, it makes more sense to only date people you have intentions of marrying. But that shouldn't deprive you of making meaningful relationships. Not everything will lead to marriage anyway. Just loosen up a bit. |

Webmasters › Re: Jack Dorsey Tweets EndSARS, Solicit Support For The Protest (Photo) by nickvanilla(m): 6:57am On Oct 15, 2020 |
myBraine: He's only following the bandwagon and nothing more. Jack is a smart businessman that's playing a dicey game with the collective sanity of lazy protesters.
The more the hashTag trends on Twitter, the more relevant the platform becomes in Nigeria and the more valuable it becomes in the global market. Let's keep making a fool out of ourselves while thinking that in this challenging and competitive world where trade and tech war has become the order of the day, a foreign nation will want an Africa country to outdo them in Democracy and good governance. Don't you know that once we have good and stable governance, we'll start thinking of advancing our technological feat and reach. No foreign nation currently conceives the idea or possibility of an African empire. Imagine a country like Nigeria now building hypersonic missiles, DEW, nuclear propeller and warheads? That's a bigger threat to world peace and I'm in no way in support of that.
The truth is that Nigerian youths are growing wings and they have to be cautioned on time, unless we'll have to bear the burden of living with limited access to the internet and little or no access to other internet services like the world wide web and Co.
We'll only ended up pioneering a new generation where smartphones and computers will become irrelevants. In a tech world that's currently moving towards IoT where all our electronics will become an integral part of a smart environment, which will later give rise into a smart economy. A computer OR a smartphone without the internet is nothing but an electronic idiot. We should stop the protest now so that our kids will not live to become a victim of our weird and destructive invention.
The protest is gradually snowballing into an economic missiles and it needs to be stopped. While countries like South Africa, Rwanda, Mauritius and Botswana are fast attaining global relevance, you want Nigeria to remain where it is because "an african empire is a threat". Better open your eyes. |
