Yes that one about family is hard

Especially if you have aging parents and unreliable extended family

Yes you can keep sending Dollars and Euros but their personal day to day affairs & health is something else

Even something as simple as someone accompanying them to appointments & handling their official stuff

Complicated situation
_____

My friend & her siblings moved to USA & Canada

Her father passed.

Her mother was okay for a long time. Active widow with nieces around her.

She developed dementia
Slowly things became complicated. Yhe kids could visit but had to return to the West for their personal lives.

At one point the widow was taken to strange doctors for her mental issue. The kids tried to supervise her life while overseas.

Did not work.

Eventually she died. The kids in the West got a.phone call.
After the funeral they went back.

Her compound in the village is there growing weeds because none of the kids want to relocate to Africa because of these messed up conditions we are living in.

The girl & her siblings out there told me life is stressful & they are not happy, but they would rather stay there than return here.

Complicated life.

ogatboy:


She bought a plane ticket and used her visa to board.

That is obvious!

How was she allowed to board so close to her due date is the question.

ogatboy:


She was probably going to UK to give birth.

Failed attempt.

How did she get on plane?

Anybody know of a LEGIT Free online Masters??

lets stop making silly excuses.. lets start developing our own country

If Mexico or Nigeria spends all its drug money or crude oil money on asphalt all our roads would be tarred, if we spend it on Powerplant, we would have stable electricity to attract investors that can create jobs, and if it is steel plant like ajaokuta, we would soon become a developed nation

US built its country by plunging it self into heavy debt and serious borrowing, There roads where built on loans same as there train and other infrastructure... citizens pay as high as 30% of there income as tax to refund their debts..

Mexicans cant just breeze in and out to take Americans Jobs or enjoy American infrastructures while Americans pay back the Debt


..

Based in your words

If you claim the Mexicans take Americans Jobs, are they not paying the 30% tax?

You also know they are deducted social security which supports aged Americans but they themselves can Never get paid if their status is a mess.

Let's not even talk about tge underpaid Mexican farm workers & those who work fir cash in construction.

The cash nannies in CA & NY etc

No they are NOT enjoying the infrastructure for free. You sound like Trump.

And yes, we need to build our own countries and not flee but on the other hand let us not lie that these people are enjoying for free.

gaby:
Who even came up with this idea of visas I don't understand.

The same way they sat and decided to invent guns...to what end I ask...

We all see the result today...

Life wey everybody for dey live and enjoy freely without any hassles or barriers, dem decide to fence am...

Nonsense humans...

Thank God say humans no be God...

Dem for don decide to turn off our oxygen tey tey

True.

All that is related to whoever decided MONEY was the basis of our existence.

If everyone and everything did not need money life would be less complicated.

No one can fault the Emirati Government for insisting that Nigerian Immigrants have some skin in the game; a family man with a loving wife and kids will hardly think to walk around the streets of Dubai, in knickers, and brandishing a machete.

So, just as well, maybe. This diplomatic impasse may birth better migration opportunities for Nigerians residing in the UAE (maybe 10 years down the line).


My everyday prayer is Nigerians living out here with me do not take to vices that’ll give us all a bad rep.

What does this even mean?

This is a silly rule.

Why should you have to travel with family?

Maybe your spouse is working. Maybe the kids are in school. Maybe you can only afford ticket for one person.

Any nairalanders or anyone know a person living or studying in Chile?

I have some Spanish knowledge and completed undergraduate already.

Thinking going for education might be easier than trying tourist way.

Please share.

Chile or other Latin American country
