BreconHills:
I am not sure I agree with you certainly not for the UK. There are living expenses to contend with, accommodation. That's a tough ask for anything short of a full scholarship with research assistant work thrown in.
There's a reason I made the statement about diligently doing research for scholarships in bold... however difficult as it may pose, it is very attainable.

But homework in researching complementary scholarship opportunities would greatly enhance your chances.

EmperorCaesar:
cheesy



How do u even believe that an Exxon Mobil worker forged his cert?
So my emphasis is on the bolded question you asked; Yes, I know people who worked at ExxonMobil Eket without a single certificate but via political/NDDC connections...

The bottom line remains, there are many people occupying integral positions that do not have any certificates in Nigeria. Which is a normalcy.

Given B.A.T's socio-political network, he could very well have worked in CBN, NNPC or pretty much anywhere without a certificate & that would be normal.

So I get your theory which applies in a normal society, however unless corrupt structures are broken, forged certificate or not... take it or leave it, that's Nigeria for you sir. The country is not normal.

PoliticsRe: Wale Edun: FG To Curb Rising Inflation With ‘Cut In Money Supply’ by optimusprime2(m): 10:54am On Aug 23, 2023
mrvitalis:
Like I said making a micro economist CBN governor and minister of finance is a tragedy waiting to happen

Buhari did same at least they were humble to accept they didn't know took time before taking decisions

Now we have a bad combination of arrogance and ignorant people as heads of our CBN and finance ministers


my solution
Cutting money supply would harm the already struggling businesses ...so what to so

Pump money into key manufacturing sectors as low interest loans 10% max give them 8 months before Tenure starts

Make sure they are in this two areas 1) import substitution products 2) exportable products produced at below international market price

This would marke goods available to match money supply dragging down inflation creating jobs and increasing revenue for government


Note when I mean pump in money I don't mean 50billion 😂😂

I mean 5 trillion minimum
Is this not what Peter Obi had been singing about from day 1?

FamilyRe: When Your Wife Loves Sex And Always Craves For More by optimusprime2(m): 3:59pm On Aug 21, 2023
This thing cracked me up...
Because in my countless expeditions, I realised the size of Gbola, really matters.

Whenever I meet all those babes who always claim "I can't be satisfied", I simply hold my calm, because Las Las, they always get injured down there.

For me I mostly never bother, because I know that 97% of the time I always make contact with the womb entrance, so if they don't get satisfied quickly, na their wahala be that- an injury will be sure... especially if I want to prove a point.

Secondly I realised most of these women who like making noise about big gbola ... literally have no idea of what the experience is like, they usually forget that a Gbola doesn't walk alone, it could have an owner who weighs over 100kg and has his own force output. Basically some dudes can be physical battering rams. Well I am glad I have assisted in educating a number of these lady folk.

I will never forget a Danish woman who blocked my number temporarily after a session... I am not joking, she used a wheelchair for some days because she couldn't walk, to think her argument was "she can't be satisfied" the thing shock am me sef wicked, I buy viagra follow join on top matter cheesy cheesy

Anyway I have hung my boots... I remain a coach though.

TravelRe: What Country Can I Migrate To With 7 Million Naira by optimusprime2(m):
Considering your age alone, I advise you to try your best and Japa!
And 7million which is approximately 7000USD is just fine to get you schooling any where in the world, provided you properly do your homework in seeking out the right graduate opportunities that include scholarships.

*Edited*
-1) Emphasis on the bolded part.

-2) Secondly, any young person @ 24 who considers the UK as a first option when trying to Japa, has most definitely not done his homework in researching graduate opportunities. The UK should be the last option, I repeat; THE LAST OPTION when trying to Japa.

I would naturally recommend Norway, Finland or Denmark over the UK for a host of reasons.

This is why this whole ministerial appointment thing is a scam to me...

Can people be very honest here with this question, if an ex Sportsman or individual with experience in the sports industry, who has high level administrative experience like for example Sunday Oliseh was given this portfolio, is it not obvious that the sector would Develop?

Una see why Naija no fit better?

TravelRe: Applying For Visa While In Another Country As A Nigerian by optimusprime2(m): 7:49am On Aug 18, 2023
It's a 50/50 thing...
It could be easy to get in some cases and it could be an uphill task in some other cases.

Especially for the US that requires interviews for their visas.

The major challenge in such cases are some consular officers may not be used to handling the processing of other nationalities. For example if you visit the US Embassy in Japan with a Nigerian passport, and the consular officer who attends to you is inexperienced (Japan is his first outpost) two things could happen;
1- a super quick approval
2- a super quick denial

So it depends.

You think like a kid. Kid mentality. It started with Egypt, Mali to Burkina Faso it was waved aside. If this consistency is maintained all head of states in the continent will be toppled and killed. The ideology is what is being challenged to uphold democratic values in Africa and not about Niger !


You kids of these days. Go and ask what it took the western nations to invest in democracy two decades back. Fights fought, money's spent, lives lost. It's the junta that needs talking to not ECOWAS. Niger must be invaded and constitutional order restored.


Unless Eastern powers gets in the way , the use of force is necessary otherwise long term grippling sanctions should be employed.

tensazangetsu20:
When I was in ladipo I met a whole lot of Nigerian businessmen who had japanese passports. Japan isnt like singapore that uses racial quota to determine who gets PR and citizenship. Theres something the parents arent saying. No be they tell me. I don see am plenty here for naija. Igbo men with japanese pali. The parents have probably refused to renounce their Nigerian nationality as Japan does not recognise dual citizenship. The approval rate for requests is almost 99 percent.
If you notice, I mentioned in some instances where the foreigner is married to a Japanese citizen.
Check those guys you noted, they are married to Japanese women.

In the absence of marriage,
I am reassuring you that even the Japanese PR takes 10 years to obtain, not to talk of the passport.

A simple check on the length of time it takes to obtain Japanese PR will show you it takes 10 years of living in Japan.

Bros,
Asides the length of time, there is that difficult Japanese language requirement that must be fulfilled, so it's not an easy task to even obtain Japanese PR.
TravelRe: Swedish Admissions And Student Visa by optimusprime2(m): 5:53pm On Aug 15, 2023
tensazangetsu20:
Citizenship in Japan is 5 years and PR is in 3 years. Did you get in illegally? I have met some Nigerians with a japanese passport.
Brother,

Except in some very rare occasions where a foreigner marries a Japanese citizen, It is easier for a Camel, to pass through the eye of a needle than for a foreigner to get a Japanese passport after residence of 5 years.

I currently know Nigerian children who were born in Japan and have lived there for 11 and 9years respectively, however they are yet to obtain Japanese citizenship. Despite their fluency in Japanese language, they are still regarded as "aliens", because they are dark complexioned. To make it worse, the parents who are both Nigerians have been in Japan since 2004 legally, till today no passport/Citizenship.

Although they have permanent residency status, however that Citizenship stuff if you ask me, I doubt the parents may ever get it, the children well maybe, especially if they distinguish themselves in something like sports, entertainment or fashion but the parents naaah I don't think so.

It doesn't work like that in many Asian countries.

PoliticsRe: Protest Hits Kano Over Planned Military Intervention In Niger by optimusprime2(m): 8:42pm On Aug 12, 2023
HydraFeeds:
Diplomacy is important but if talk fail ,action must follow .

Coup must be tamed in west Africa else the whole region will be destabilized.
Also, it will make ECOWAS look bad if diplomacy failed but action did not follow.
What are you talking about?
Before I start my analysis, I want you to take note of three very important Highlights;
1:It was a Bloodless coup
2: It was a successful coup
3: The People of Niger were very Happy with the results of the coup

WIth that Being said;

First of all, the approach B.A.T took as the Head of ECOWAS was very wrong on various levels... His first contact with the military Junta in Niger after a successful coup, was with a threat, force sanctions and an ultimatum... Tinubu totally blewout the opportunity for a proper diplomatic resolve with his first contact-which is why Abdulsalam Abubakar's visit was in vain.

Secondly; Three coups had previously taken place in the Bloc and Nana Akufo-Addo knew better, than to respond militarily to a sucessful coup, especially in the case of Burkina-Faso that directly borders Ghana (Like Nigeria and Niger) instead he spear headed a deal with Burkina Faso that offered a timeline for the Military to return power back to civillian democracy ... Why is ECOWAS suddenly pressed hard to respond... is it because, in this case France has a direct loss (I know B.A.T literally dines with France, but who were his advisers on this issuehuh).

Thirdly: Have you not noticed these coups have one thing in common, (Francophone countries) trying to break lose from imperialism? which is why the people are majorly in support of all the Military coups in Guinea, Mali, Burkina-Faso and currently Niger.
What concerns Nigeria in this unnecessary military intervention that is potentially a regional war since the people are fully behind their military Juntas? When Nigeria had it's own Military period, what did ECOWAS do?? was it not still diplomacy??

Fourthly: Don't you think West African leaders even have problems, for them not seeing this is obviously a plot?? What is the Wagner group even doing in West Africa in the first place??

Fifth: The Humanitarian crisis that will occur is something they do not even factor in... War creates refugee's currently IDP's are all over nothern Nigeria because of the insurgency issues, combining it with new refugee's and there would be chaos...

Mhan... this is not even the time to keep quiet and allow Nigeria/Niger become a weapons testing ground for some actors, because it is not going to be funny at all...
