i nor understand only una want igbo man to rule Nigeria and at the same time want your own biafra..Kanu is already the president of biafra country peter should wait for kanus 8 years tenure to complete before campaigning..we in Nigeria will vote for our nigeria president next year in the genersl elections...its likely we south south rather give it back to the north than tinubu
And my personal view is the opinion of how many million Igbo people for you to arrive at your incoherent conclusion.

if we help ourselves offline like we do here we would match the indians. I have stood for a nigerian brother when foreigners wanted to rope him into a police case. Even some nigerians called me a fool for doing that. I have helped fellow Nigerians to get jobs and get paid even by the Uk government. However, i discovered Nigerians are selfish. They dont have sense of community in Uk. A Nigerian would see opportunity and hide it unless they are fellow church members. Infact you are better off hustling alone. Thats why i love this thread and the community here. I will always contribute to help any way I can.
Fellow church members. We wey no dey go church no fit get help.

PoliticsRe: Soludo Insists Anambra Too Complex For WAEC Holders To Govern by obioraval(m): 3:35pm On Aug 25, 2021

My opinion:

Anyone with Ph.D or anyone without B.Sc/HND should not be allowed near the Government House.

Those with Ph.D are stuck in teaching mode--all talks and no action (GEJ, Ikpeazu, and I suspect Soludo will reduce governance to an academic exercise). It is not about delivering wonderful speeches.

Those without first degree are too crude to understand management. They might have succeeded in personal endeavours. But in Nigeria, the only criteria for success at that level is being criminally-minded.

B.Sc, HND or Masters we shall take.
/
I agree with your thoughts. But permit me to add that a PhD isn't all about teaching. If Nigeria was a serious nation, our political parties would have think tanks made up of people with doctorate degrees formulating policies for the party and critiquing the current government. But alas, we have politicians critiquing politicians with ideas from Twitter.

However, I think Soludo would do a good job as he understands policy implementation. That's where a large majority of our Nigerian trained PhD holders get stuck.

With the sad cases of folks who go to bring wives from village that turn something else, i begin to think, what About the Nigerian ladies in UK? at least those ones still have an element of home and will be better understanding and help with the kids. abi the men don show dem shege?
Lol, we just had this discussion recently on Facebook. Why do Nigerian men go back to marry wives and bring them here. Me thinks we just love to show oppression; a kind of my Mercedes Benz is bigger than yours or I made you mentality.

On the other side of the coin, the women don't want to date students (I feel this would help close the gap), however I believe four months is so small a time to conclude a meaningful relationship; thus; most ladies think 'oh, he wants to use me to get papers' and it becomes a problem. hopefully, the post study route would solve this.

Now, when that student graduates and finds his/her way to be legal here, the guy would go back to Nigeria for the oppression cycle to continue, while the lady, well, she sees students whom she meets on bumble and the rest as (you can guess).#

Thus the cycle continues except we Nigerians begin to behave like our Ghanaian brothers and sisters and not see everything as all about papers.

My submission.

OP, this phase too shall pass. Don't be deterred because of those mails, nahh
Let me share my experience with you. I was among the GTs for NLNG in 2013. We did Waec test, another test which I forgot the body that conducted the test, then SHL test, passed all, only to be screened out before AC. I felt very bad when I got the regret mail,
Today, I am managing somewhere of which I can feed my family and pay my bills.
To my surprise, those who were invited for AC were never employed till date, the thread is here on NL. So trust God on this, don't you ever accept defeat, there are thousands in this who began like you, the story always change for the better, remember, no condition is permanent.
You will look back later and smile over this ish
NLNG train 7 project. 6 years on. I was also a part of this.

How time flies.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by obioraval(m): 11:39pm On Dec 23, 2019

Hi everyone,

I am currently on my Doctorate Extension Scheme visa after completion of my PhD. The following is a summary of my situation.

Summary:
Point 1: I'm currently enroute a comfortable 6 years in UK continuous residence and hope to make the 10 year ILR.
Point 2: I have spent 5 of this 6 continuous years studying without breaks. the 6th current year is on a Doctoral extension scheme (1 year visa) expiring next year.
Point 3: I now need to earn 4 years more to qualify for the 10 year ILR.

However,
Point 4: The UK has an 8 year maximum study cap. As I have also held a previous (since expired) tier 4 visa on a masters course for 17 months (i.e the standard 1 year 5 months visa), it doesn't count towards continuous residence now. This is because I went back to Nigeria after I completed it and spent more than 180 days there before returning to the UK to study again. Even so, this study period is still counted by the UK Home Office as 1 year 5 months used towards the 8 year study cap.

Therefore,
Point 5: My total study period in the UK so far adds up to 6 years 5 months, which leaves me with 19 months (1year 7 months) left to use on the 8 year study cap. (But remember point 3 above)

At Present:
I learnt about the return of the Post study work scheme, though it isn't yet in effect, I heard it would only be valid for those graduating from 2021 onwards.

My Intention:
I plan to leave the UK after my DES expires next year for 6 months and return in less than 180 days to start the MBA. (This gives me 6 months of continuous residency even though I wouldn't be present in the UK for that time as long as I return within 180 days).

After the MBA programme:
6months (outside UK) + 18 months (MBA) = 2 years
Post study work visa = 2 years
This adds up to the 4 years that I need to qualify for ILR.

Questions:
Will the new PostStudyWork visas start automatically after 2021 Masters completion, or these would have to be applied for?
Is it possible for me to apply for an 18 month MBA course, even though I now have a PhD?
Does anyone know any UK universities that offer 18 month MBA programmes that begin in March/April 2021?

Would there be any issues with my current situation and intentions above?
Other suggestions are welcome.
I think you should consider a Post doc after your DES.
