This man has time to be sitting pretty in front of a camera instead of reporting himself directly to the police/home office..

Sir, you know the quickest way to get this deportation done swiftly.. Seems you ain't truly ready to move back..
Actually he can't... You all be forgetting that covid19 has caused alot of suspensions to refugee/deportation decisions due to strict EU border regulations.

Both Italy and Germany have suspended such deportations (they were hit very badly last year, so they are really not taking any chances) even airline's are allowing only essential passengers on flights, (Airlines have not even figured out the adequate procedure for repartee passengers yet)

To be frank He is stuck until this whole pandemic smoke calms down. And I can understand he is feeling the severe bite of these Covid19 partial lockdowns in the EU thats why he is crying for help now-otherwise he would cried for help since 2018.

Although I agree there are lots of genuine women out there, that's absolutely true.

But wait till Nigerian men tell their own side of such stories...
RomanceRe: EXPOSED! The Real Truth About Nigerian Women That Men Are So Scared To Admit by optimusprime2(m): 8:42pm On Feb 02, 2021
ngoziwrites:
Oh really? Now you are going to shout on the roof tops about how Nigerian Women are useless? Just before then, should I tell you the story of my mum? Helen.

My mum is actually older than my dad with 3 years and she is submissive till the end of forever. She is a nurse while my dad sells tyres, obviously richer than him yet she serves him his food and packs his plate everyday! She pays our fees, buys all the food and she and my dad built our family house together. She pays the bills! She grinds!

Oh really! Now before you make my eyes get teary again with your slang "Nigerian women have nothing to offer", Let me tell you the story of my Aunt in her late 20's. She is the bread winner! She feeds the family, she even married as a virgin! Guess what? She is highly unhappy in her marriage, her hubby cheats like a fish!

Now before you tell me, that's the old generation, let me tell you about my friends: You want to know about the times we have cried because we really want to achieve our dreams so bad? Should I tell you about Upali? My best friend, at the age of 25, she is the one taking care of her family. She pays her siblings school fees. She just renewed their rent at home! Every night she has to listen to her father funny story: "No money"

Okay, now, I am starting to get emotional, this is where I would love to tell you about Aunty Esther, a woman down my street. She is the bread winner of her family! Guess what she does? House maid! And the husband? He sits at home like the boss and she brings him food to eat.

Oh , my mum, once again, mama Ejima! I pray you reap the fruits of your labor. She grinds hard!

Oh please, now I know what you are about to say next "Marriage benefits only women. Women have nothing to offer"

Then I must tell you about the story of my friend; Feyi, recently married and the man lost his job. She doubled her hustle! She stood by him! She made him start a business with her own savings! They are doing okay now.

I know women that grind. I have lived very close to guys. They bring girls to their house everyday; these girls cook, clean and these guys even borrow money from these girls.

Now, you can imagine the huge fist I make when I hear them mocking these girls.

Should I tell you my friend; Gift. At 29, she is hustling and contented with her boyfriend even if he isn't financially stable.

All of the girls I have interacted with; school, service and area. They all grind. Esther my friend just got married while doing her masters abroad.

Bose, who stays on my street hustles really hard despite getting pregnant without a marriage.

Oh please! Should I tell you about Iya Ade in front of my house. What won't this woman sell; Kerosene, Water, Vegetables just to take care of the family.

And my twin sister? She is proudly in love with her boyfriend, she has never sent a dime to her. He is currently out of jobs, she borrowed 7k from me last month just to send to him.

Or Theresa my cousin, 25 years old. She is doing fine with her boyfriend! She brings out the best in him, oh please, don't give me that look, he lives in a self-con with no car or iPhone! She loves him! She supports his business!

I am surrounded by girls that grind! Girls that hustle! Girls with big dreams, even Akudo is about to continue her education abroad.

Olosho? Bone straight? Married men? The craze over iPhone? Take these away from me! I can't relate! (Yeah, If you read this like a scream, I actually screamed)

Me? At 24, I grind! I buy my things. iPhone, bone straight, expensive clothes; I have none of these but I have mind-blowing ideas.

I can't stand small conversations and I believe in submissiveness and loyalty.

So, Where are y'all seeing the crazy girls?

It's raining blue, black here in the girl's world and yet none of y'all is seeing it?

This QUESTION begs for an answer: Where are you all meeting the bad girls that have broken you?

So many girls out these grind! So many women out there are actually the bread winner of their families.

There are definitely bad girls as there are bad boys.

ADVICE: The problem is you, open your eyes.

I am grinding my head out here! I want to double my salary, start my business, take care of my mum, my dad, my siblings and yes, I want to LOVE that special man hard.

You men see a pit, you run into it and then come out to cry!

There are countless good women out there, if you can't point to just one single person then I am forced to ask:

What do you stand for?
What are your values?
What do you look for in a woman?

PoliticsRe: Darius Ishaku: Buhari-Led Government Has Failed Nigerians On Security by optimusprime2(m):
I have listened to Analysts and concluded that the solution to Nigeria's security challenge is really not a big deal... the only problem is the political make up of Nigeria, that unfortunately can not support some policies.

Seriously ask anyone this question; apart from weak/porous borders, and the law enforcement/armed forces itself that needs a revamp... what is Nigeria's main security challenge?

Definitely not B.H, because they can be totally subdued by a combination of reinforced border patrol/control as well as effective Armed forces and most Definitely not some rogue herdsmen....

So Nigeria's security problem is just an internal glitch...

If only Nigeria could borrow a "Trump-like individual" for 2 years, security challenges would be a thing of the past.

No benefit.... none at all... in most cases you may even need to go back to school, especially if you want to use the certificate to get a job.

It's either you are a skilled craftsman of which you'd need a certification or you go back to school for a graduate course.

TravelRe: Which Country Can I Emigrate To With 12million Naira? by optimusprime2(m):
Mcslize:
The Op categorically stated that it's Europe country he wants that's why I didn't bother suggesting English speaking countries to op.

But even at that, that money won't be enough to pay tuition fee without a sponsor for English speaking countries that do not offer free tuition for foreign students.

No English speaking country offers tuition free programs for foreign students so that aspect is closed for op.
Ireland would have been a very nice suggestion for the op.

But even then, I would always suggest Canada because the immigration pathway is wider if one graduates as a student compared to Europe.

To me all European countries have that classic problem when it comes to getting papers regardless of an individual graduating from a European institution. In 8 out of 10 cases(from personal sampling) na marriage dey nak papers for Europe.
TravelRe: Which Country Can I Emigrate To With 12million Naira? by optimusprime2(m): 5:39pm On Jan 26, 2021
Mcslize:
Go through school route. If you already have your first degree, you can apply for a post graduate program and make sure you go for a country that allow foreign students to stay and secure work upon completion of their programs.

You need to make research on your own cuz nobody will actually give you the step by step process. Stay away from agents. Everything you need is online. It's just that some of us are too lazy to make research. Migration is not something you just wake up and embark on. You need to make proper plans aside the money aspect.

Use both YouTube and Google to make your research. Research the country you will like to go to. You said Europe. Your mind is already set for Europe. I will suggest you go for Germany.

There are lots of our people here who went through school route who are already in Germany. Be ready to learn German to make things easy for you when you land and to help you integrate into the system faster.

Why I am suggesting Germany for you is because they said school is free in Germany for foreigners. All you need is what they called block payment which is also your money. Tuition is free.

If you don't have first degree yet, you can apply for an undergraduate program. You can school and also work at the same time. Before you round off your program, ensure you know how to speak their language to help you secure job faster to be able to get a permit to stay.

All these , you need to plan. Don't dip hands in that money. That should be your block money. Any other money you need will just be your visa money and flight ticket money. First, research the school.

Look for some Germany threads here on Nairaland to read how to go about the whole process.
If you are suggesting the school route for him, you could have at least stated English speaking countries (its not as if he doesn't have the funds for it) ... The OP stands a better chance in an English speaking country if he decides to pursue academics, and later guage his chances to a potential migration.

You just stated Germany like that? shocked please not everyone has the Grace to learn German in a short period especially while pursuing a graduate program, which is a requirement for working there eventually ... for instance assuming he picks a master program for 3 semesters, will a year and a half be a enough to master the language to working proficiency?

Unless you want op to start pursuing woman for papers (which is usually the case in most cases) please suggest an English speaking country, because he can afford it ... thanks.

SportsRe: Cristiano Ronaldo Has Not Broken Josef Bican's All-time Goalscoring Records by optimusprime2(m):
Satan66:
Ronaldo that can barely dribble?
Ronaldo that rarely assist?
Ronaldo that rarely create chances?
Ronaldo that rarely play makes?

Do you even know what a complete player is?

Messi does it all.
He has the greatest record in history
91 goals in 1 year
Ronaldo highest was around 70 something

There are levels and then there is messi!
So CR7 can not dribble? grin

FYI CR7 and Messi play very different positions... Messi's position requires him to be a playmaker, while CR7 doesn't have to be a playmaker but contrary to this, his assists have been seriously underrated because he still has a high number of assists. Check the stats.

Among the two, who is more versatile in playing positions-Do you know because of Messi, a top form Dybala sat out the whole 2018 worldcup, why? Because Messi would have been required to swap occasionally which he would not do. Yes an in form Dybala was sacrificed just to accommodate Messi in Argentina's worldcup quest of 2018 ... just imagine.

CR7 literally evolved into an all out striker in his final real Madrid days and he does it like he had been a striker for the past 10 years...

Lemme give you CR7 and Messi position timeline

2003/2004 in The Portuguese team when Figo was around, CR7 was a left winger while at Man U he was a right winger (note he was a midfielder) ... At the time Messi held his same position at Barca RWF(but drifting center). Note a wingers required qualities dribbling, speed, and crossing accuracy, CR7 needed those skills and of course he had them. For Messi's position Playmaking, dribbling and an eye for goal.

2006/2009 CR7 evolved to a dynamic forward capable of functioning in any position in a three man attack (with Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo), at Barca Messi was still doing his thing i.e RWF drifting center, but he got really good at it, however good players had to be sacrificed for Messi's development on that position- Zlatan Ibrahimovic was one of them. Note a forwards required qualities, shooting, dribbling, and positioning over speed- CR7 became a physical beast during this period, even his body became much muscular to give his play more physicality.


2010/2016
CR7 got better at rotating in a three man attack but was having a pace decline, Zidane had to talk him into a CF position conversion, while Messi evolved from the center drifting RWF to a false 9 thus he cemented his central play style. Neymar and Suarez joined the picture eventually, where Neymar and Suarez did the rotation(Neymar being the more Dynamic of the trio compensated mobility) as much as Messi kept play in the middle-Dani Alves was the actual RWF, However on paper Messi was a RWF. CR7 at this time started working on his "in the box" movement and honed a poacher instinct.


2017/2020
CR7 became a ruthless center forward and his game play changed, Messi on the other hand, played the same position RWF, however he established center operation. Qualities required for CF, finishing over shooting, Positioning, Spatial awareness, CR7 adapted to a new position, while Messi still maintained his Playmaking, dribbling and eye for goal.(Neymars departure exposed the vulnerability of Messi though because Suarez was not versatile enough to compensate for Mobility- Ousmane Dembele was the fix for Neymar due to him being a natural double footed and dynamic player, however injuries didn't help and Messi had a hard time coping especially since Xavi and Iniesta left, in all that Messi could not adjust his position)

Analysis
CR7 was the most Dynamic of the 2 as he literally changed from a midfielder, to a Flank Foward and to a Center Forward, forfeiting old qualities and developing new qualities. A striker is not all about dribbling or playmaking but about end product and CR7 delivers the goods. Messi on the other hand is very good however in a particular position.

Why is CR7 the most complete player among the 2, because he developed the skill set for playing in all forward positions, which makes him dynamic(he can function in any team) his being able to use both feet helps him in being Dynamic, though Messi is the better player in the position aspect because he mastered a particular position for over 10 years, and he does it naturally, however if Messi plays in a team without players that can support his central drifting (it may not turn out well, typical center forwards need to be sacrificed for Messi to operate) Messi is very left footed so he is unlikely to swap positions fully in a game, which makes him less Dynamic. We see that weakness whenever he plays for Argentina, and we may see more of that weakness when Messi leaves Barcelona.

CR7 would play for Stoke City or Burnley and still typically score goals... now that is a complete player.
SportsRe: Cristiano Ronaldo Has Not Broken Josef Bican's All-time Goalscoring Records by optimusprime2(m):

Most complete footballer
He can score
Dribble

Messi is everything you say but complete, Messi is a great player-True, Messi is Magical-True, Messi is this and That -True... but a complete forward-No!

The label of a complete forward goes to CR7...
He is a complete Physical Beast!
Left foot, Right foot, Heading, speed, power, Endurance, stamina, mentality, finishing all CR7 get am...
Argue that till tomorrow

https://michelacosta.com/en/how-do-they-score/

Statistics show Messi scores more with his left foot, less with his weaker foot and even less with his head...

CR7 has more goals with his weaker foot, even more with his head (his total number of headed goals is equal to a career number for some players).

Who is a more complete forward with this kinda stats?

However though,

If an Artist created a perfect player it would be Messi= Football and Divine Perfection #Genius

if an Engineer created the perfect player it would be CR7=Football and Dynamic Efficiency #Cyborg

Both of them are living legends ... I am blessed to have witnessed them in my life
