What about those last born he killed in Egypt?
If he can do that why can't he do anything to slavery that lasted for hundred of years?
I have a question for you... who sold the slaves to the European settlers to take to the new world i.e America?

If he can kill those kids for abusing a prophet why can he send lighting bolts?
Did he physically come down to kill the kids... I guess he probably floated down from the sky and strangled them to death or perhaps he shot them with divine lasers or heat rays??

The prophet killed the kids because he was human... period

What was he supposed to do, hurl down lightning bolts and send flying horses to the slaves... the slaves that were sold off by their own people?

Here we go again with Religion.
The way Saudi Arabia was built on Islam and cannot be separated from it, is the way America was built on Christianity, unfortunately that fact is trying to be erased by political correctness...

It's a simple truth, which one be religion on top matter again?

TravelRe: How True Is This About The Canada ? - Candid Advice Needed by optimusprime2(m):
Getsaved:
Good day friends, I need advice

I am planing to migrate to Canada. Since I needed a guide, I met someone ( an agent) who was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. My firiend is processing his visit to the UK with this agent too.

When I met him for the easiest and quickest way for me, he advise me to go through work - since I am a graduate and a sound tradesman in industrial electrical work.

He said the work package is geniune, that it was the Canadian government who made it available for people with good skills to move to Canada.

I do not know how true this is. And I would like to verify his words here so that I do not end up being deceived or cajoled into spending so much and at the end there was nothing like that.
I will be honest with you, if you meet any agent that tells you he/she would "work out a Canadian work permit for you for a price" please walk away...

The way Canadian immigration programs are designed, at some point you will need to do something yourself, (An Agent will not write IELTS or TEF exam for you, you need to do it yourself) and achieving an 8Band overall IELTS score is something awesome that only you can do for yourself.

So please figure out how you can do it yourself for the most part...

What they don't emphasise enough for this Canadian Express Entry/PNP et al, is Canada is looking for a specific set of skills, not just your job experience (basically they know what they want)...


1- The system lays emphasis on young people (above 30 years, you lose points)

2- Language adaptability (simply score 8 and above in the IELTS and you gain precious points)

3- Educational skills (Msc and above from accredited universities gives you extra points)

4- LMIA -Get a Canadian job offer and you get monster points

If you know your profile doesn't match or can't relate to nos1-4, then please don't bother doing it, forget agent abi secret agent ni, or find another decent country to migrate to, it must not be Canada. Don't let any agent take advantage of your desperation and hussle up wahala for you (and you pay for it).

Stop it oga,
Vincent Enyeama was NEVER among the top 20 best goalkeepers in the world at anytime during his whole career.
Maybe in the African continent but NEVER in the world!!!
What stopped Enyeama from getting into big clubs was actually his height... coaches were not convinced but that guy was one of the best in the world no cap

SportsRe: Lukaku Set For Shock Move To Manchester City by optimusprime2(m): 9:29pm On Jan 17, 2021
tplayer:
He's the guy that holds up inter's forward play now.
Yeah because he is strong, he wins aerial duels easily, contrary to his size, he is very fast so he is really good at open play, and lastly he is a good finisher... He fits inters style of play Currently.

However Lukaku is not a target man, he simply lacks that first touch to be a classic target man and that's where strikers like even Olivier Giroud or Morata are better than Lukaku, they are classic target forwards with very good first touch and capable of holding play and creating linkup(why do you think coaches love playing Giroud despite the fact he is slower than a slug?... because his first touch is 100%)

If Man City wants to bring Lukaku to be a target forward holdup play and linkup with Sterling ... they will be surely disappointed
SportsRe: Lukaku Set For Shock Move To Manchester City by optimusprime2(m): 6:41pm On Jan 17, 2021
Angelfrost:
Won't be a bad fit...

If he gets his first touch fully sorted out, he will be winning golden boot yearly with Debruyne in that midfield.
You know very well Lukaku is not a player with that "world class first touch" ... He is a very good striker but that hold up play, and creative forward tag is not his thing, let them not expect him to replace Sergio Aguero overnight

TravelRe: Will Canada "Cast" For Nigerians Soon? by optimusprime2(m): 12:21am On Jan 17, 2021
79733139:
It isn't only about genes, athletes in USA (UK and Canada) are well taken care off to focus on their sport and train as hard as their bodies would allow. When I was in school, I used to see some state athletes that looked like they were living in squalor even though they were state athletes.

Even Jamaica has a few dedicated athletics club (sprinters and medium distance runners) where athletes are groomed.
You are right it's not only about the genes, however talent (enhanced physicality) plays a very crucial role in sports. For instance, in Korea, Japan and China, training academies for athletes are taken very seriously (trust them Asians when they want to train),
The hi tech equipment obtainable in those academies outclass what you would typically find in Jamaica or the Bahamas but in the end, who constantly pours out the talent for both genders?

This was actually a research question...

ednut1:
there is high unemployment. Only few people are able to leave. As they are leaving others get opportunities to replace them. Africa is going to likely kill your talent anyways. So where is the losshuh
It's a case of settling for Oats because there's no refined flour to bake bread...

In the long run, the overall standard would be reduced significantly.

The effects of Brain drain is seen after a long while...

Lemme give you an example, most of the best specimens of physicality and athletism were identified, selected and shipped out for slavetrade hundreds of years ago cutting out that genepool from Africa. In the Olympics today which countries dominate physically explosive sports- Athletics for example 100 Meters 200 and 400Meters? African/black Ancestry right? Now trace the origins of those Athletes... then ask yourself how come original west Africans (for example Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast etc) are nowhere to be found in that sport? Simple, because the best Physical Genes were selectively picked out.... Apart from the technicalities of the sport which can be taughtby good academies, raw physical talent is important because it can't be taught.

Thats how brain drain works, in the long run the effects will be evident.

TravelRe: Will Canada "Cast" For Nigerians Soon? by optimusprime2(m):
Only the best of Nigerians are absorbed into the express entry pool. I.e "The young bright ones".

Only intelligent Nigerians are given admissions into Canadian universities. "The innovative and brilliant ones"

As for visit visa's and Canadian TRV's, most people know Canada doesn't give it to every regular Nigerian Joe, and of course seeking Asylum in Canada or converting a visit visa is almost impossible.

So if Nigerians are moving there en masse, then you can be very sure that the best are moving en masse... there's no cap on taking the best of the best.

Actually Nigeria should feel bad that slowly and steadily, the best are drifting out ...

PenName55:
Do you have anyone there and is there a direct flight from Africa? And how did you secure the visa since they don't have an embassy here in naija
I was going there for a vacation, so I didn't need to know anyone but my hotel reservation.

Secondly If you have certain visas/residency permits or citizenship you would be eligible for an Evisa or you wouldn't need a visa for visiting the Bahamas (which is my case).
Please go through their consular services and foreign affairs website;
https://mofa.gov.bs/evisa-online-services/

Thirdly the last time I checked they have no consular representation in Africa(they have a presence in the Gambia, but its mainly for trade relations not consular affairs), but I know they have consular representation in Brussels and the UK.

As for flights, there are no direct flights to the Bahamas from Nigeria so transit visas would be required. Most Caribbean zones do not have direct flights from Nigeria so transit visas are very important.

Hope it helps

TravelRe: My Canadian Aunty Is Finding It Hard To Migrate Her Sons by optimusprime2(m):
Steveraw:
My aunt left in the year 2000, and while leaving she left her two sons,she got her citizenship in year 2019,she seemed asylum so I guess that's why it took so long,fast forward to this year,the sons won't let me rest, please I would like to know to know what the mum can do to take her children out,so I can have peace with her sons,your advice is deeply appreciated
If it took her 19/20 years to aquire citizenship from Canada since the 2000's... then it speaks alot already.

She may not have the right social standing to file in for her sons who are already grownups.

As much as there is the general hype for Canada these days, Canada is not an "anyhow" country, in otherwords "if you pay peanuts, you'll get monkeys".

What if she declared earlier that she had no children during some earlier refugee paper work in the phase when she was desperate for asylum, do you fink all of a sudden if she brandished grown up men from the blues calling them her sons, it would sink in well.... the system has a way of tracing these things. (Many people have been hit by this reality and families were broken unfortunately).

The best she can do is support the boys financially to perhaps pursue college education in Canada from Nigeria.

But let's call a spade a spade, she must have lied during the asylum process and it has probably caught up, that's why she's literally helpless in bringing her sons over. Otherwise she could have done it since.
