Maybe they feel perhaps she could undo the effect of some deliberate harsh economic pressure on some nations balls... I.e Iran

If Buhari resigns now, will the world end?
Why can't that Pa just resign and peacefully tend to his cows? He can chew his goro and read papers as long as he likes and nobody will bother him, even if he farts in public but for goodness sakes he should resign...

He will be forever respected just like Goodluck Jonathan if he resigns...

Thanks for the reply. Like most peeps this days I would have loved to go to Canada, but if that would prove abit difficult due to high info of migrants then maybe France or Norway could be a good option?

Canada's immigration process may be stressful, but it is rewarding if you follow it up diligently.
You could also try schooling in Germany or France... check out the travel page on Nairaland as regards to information on Schooling in Germany or France.

Baba, have been very keen on migrating oo.. pls can you be my guide?

Bro, just mention a place at heart, if it is a feasible destination, I will advise you on the right steps to take.

kheny12:
Do you know the challenges they will face in those countries.No place like home.

Bro home is where your heart is at rest...

Kokaine:
the process is tedious and almost impossible

But it is possible

kheny12:
Migrate to where just asking.

Any where that guarantees a new beginning, anywhere than Nigeria currently

To all the hardworking Nigerians out there, this is a public service announcement; Please I encourage you to migrate...

It doesn't matter what you'd be leaving behind, just leave that country behind and adopt another one, don't be afraid to start afresh.

Norway, Canada and USA

themaestro08:
Great comment. In addition, plus Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

That's true!
Switzerland and Liechtenstein are both German speaking countries... Luxembourg too.

But I deliberately left out Switzerland due to the fact that they are not in the EU and so using a German/EU residency to land a job would entail a rather lengthy process.

As for Liechtenstein, due to the size of the country they are quite a Homogeneous bunch, so landing a regular professional job there without a residency permit from their government is also quite complicated.

However it's still possible to land jobs there, but the process is not straightforward in Switzerlandand and Liechtenstein.

Spot on...
You forgot to include the Messi Dilemma.
Sometimes it seems he's playing to just do his job, passion seems lost

She wants to show to us that she has vast knowledge about German laws.

Maybe she's just lost her touch of English...
No time for English, too much German

Basalt:
Goodmorning Ladies and Gentlemen.
I am Basalt by name and I came to Germany last year(2019) October for my MSc studies with a little amount of Money and a partially borrowed block account from my inlaw (his money and my money).
On arrival in Germany, I took only a few courses and got a job outside my city and also got a mini-job. I do all my monthly expenses from my Mini job and uses my main job to completely pay back my debt within a few months of arrival.

Now, that's not the discussion at hand.
I need advice especially from people who have lived abroad or have many years of experience in life.
My visa still counts till 2022 and I can even extend it if I don't finish my studies by then.
According to German policy, once you graduate from the University, you will be given 18 months to get a professional job or return back to your country.
Returning back to Nigeria is totally out of my plan at least for now because I came from a very poor family without any job connection and I am really enjoying Europe.

I plan to buy land or start building a house but my friend who is also a student here discouraged me against that saying that my root is not yet fixed abroad that I should wait and continue investing in myself and undergoing professional training until I get permanent residency before investing. That I should always keep saving because it is not certain that I will get a professional job after graduation since my course is not in Information Technology which is currently booming in Germany. That even if I don't get a job, I can use the money to migrate to Canada or any other country of my choice.
He asked What if you invest the money now and don't get a job after graduation, what will you do after the 18 months of post graduation visa since you don't have any backup from home who will help you out financially.

What do you guys think. I need opinions

Your friend has told you all you need to hear and all you need to know...
Because if you have said a home return is out of the question, then start giving yourself a stronger base over there, you can always get a land when you are properly situated...

I have a couple of questions for you;

1-How good is your German on a scale of 1-10?
2- would you like to stay long term in Germany?

I asked you those questions because if your answer to question(2) is yes, then you need to heavily and I mean "heavily" work on your German language skills, the moment you can rate yourself a 7 out of 10, you would not need IT skills/certifications to land your self a job in Germany... getting a job in Germany quickly, to a large extent depends on your German language skills. Infact once you have a German diploma and can speak German proficiently, you may not even need that extra 18 months, because you would most likely find a job before the expiration of your student Aufenthaltstitel.

Take note job hunting as a German diploma holder and German speaker, is not limited to Germany alone... Austria is well in the hoop too!

Of course it's Bu's Nigeria!
Das how it rolls

Petyprincess:
I know this story is fake let me just pretend it's true,one could still be miserable if you have no plans.
Studying in USA doesn't guaranteen automatic citizenship so it's funny someone will blame his dad for leaving after purpose he went there for expires

Don't be too quick to conclude..

My old girl told me in the late 70s/80s when she went to school, the US Dollar was literally half of the Naira. I.e 1naira= 2USD ... Yes, Nigeria was considered a very very rich country back then.

Secondly no African felt that comfortable in the US around the 70's/ 80's because there was still an unfair atmosphere/attitude to people of African descent, the civil rights movement of MLK literally just ended...so why bother staying in a country where you were subject to racial inequality at the time when Nigeria was alot better?

Thirdly the US then was not even an attractive immigration destination in the 70's/80's, especially for a black person(black people were not even allowed into some places-segregation was still common) ... not to talk of Canada lol �, old girl called Canada an expensive ice skating rink. She constantly stated that there were no jobs in Canada in the 70's, plus their economy was very bad due to crazy inflation... so how they have jobs everywhere now is still a mystery to her. She immediately turned down a job offer in Alaska when she graduated, her reason was; "Is she crazy? to work in a "deep freezer" looking out for Polar bears every second, when her country had the best weather in the world?" ...

Fourthly she mentioned in the 70's if a foreigner below 18 years came to the US and stayed for about 4-5 years(which was usually the duration of a bachelors degree), he or she was eligible for citizenship, So the op is most likely saying the truth about his father especially if he went for a bachelors degree.

She concluded by saying Nigerians who ended up staying back in the US after schooling back in the 70's were probably;

1. those who were severely affected by the Biafran war and thought it best not to return

2. those who got romantically attached, I.e either got married to an American who was not approved by their family, either impregnated an American lady or a fellow immigrant student...or got pregnant and were ashamed to come back to Nigeria. "Shame" in our parents days, was a big deal apparently. (So you can imagine what runs through their minds when they watch Big BrotherNigeria )

3.those who did not graduate from university especially after being funded heavily by Nigerian scholarships (a classic case of her friend who was sent to study medicine but dropped out and later switched to nursing which was considered a "nonsensical course" in Nigeria back then) those bunch, were tagged as truants and a disgrace to the Nigerian society.

4. those who adopted "bad American habits" that were too embarrassing to return home with. E.g doing drugs, etc... you don't need anyone to tell you that the moral standards in Nigeria back in those days of our parents were insanely high.

5. Those who were naturally crazy/daring, looking for adventure and independence from culture and traditions, basically-the Black sheep of families in other words; those whose families had labelled them as "outcasts" right from day-1 (a friends dad who is Nigerian often tells his ironic story of how his family sent him to America to study as a tactic to separate him from his friends who were influencing him "negatively" ... he caught up with them in the US shortly after, because his friends families also had the same idea , in the end it was a fail... they chose to remain in the US and become pimps literally )

However most Nigerians who went to school in the US back then, mostly returned because Nigeria was actually very prosperous. Jobs, welfare, organization etc...

P.S
She said American Universities were very easy to get into as a Nigerian, because the Nigerian education system was directly equivalent to British education standards, which was far thorough and had a classic background as compared to American education standards back then.
So it was more prestigious to go to a British University than an American University/college in the 70's. Which of course were harder to get into.

1. Who begins the process of impeachment to the executive arm of government?
The legislature after they have carried out an investigation of the president. during the investigation president Trump prevented some member of his cabinet from appearing before congress see picture 1 below or read from this link:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/04/us/politics/turley-impeachment.html

b) on what grounds can impeachment be triggered?
Article II, section 4 of the U.S. Constitution defines the grounds for impeachment and conviction as ''treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

2. The US runs a democratic government model, give a detailed analysis of the impeachment hearing against president Donald Trump on December 18 2019?
Trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress
see picture 2 and 3 below and detail in the following link
https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hres755/BILLS-116hres755enr.pdf
b) list the proponents and list the accusations of the impeachment.
You will see your answer in the link provided

3. With the answers provided from 1 and 2 can a president be summoned by legislature, to answer to "use of power" in a Democratic model which Nigeria practices?
Summon as it is used in the context under discussion connote force and authority like judge summoning a defendant or a witness. The legislature did not have the power or authority to compel a president to appear before it the way a judge have the power to summon a defendant or a witness. This was demonstrated during the impeachment proceeding against Donald J Trump in USA. It should also be noted that the legislature are acting as judges during impeachment and therefore may be afforded some privileges they may not have during normal cause of business

Bottom line Trump was not impeached for failure to appear before congress but for blocking material witnesses that are his aides from appearing before congress and blocking them from providing government documents to congress

Your answers were very detailed, however question 3 was very straightforward, you weren't asked to explain the difference between an impeachment and summon, it was; can a president be summoned by legislature; yes or no...?

plaindealer:
The topic is summon, not impeachment.

The legislature can impeach, but the president doesn't have to show up or be present.

Trump was impeached and he was not present so what's your point about impeachment?

My argument is the boldened emphasis on my first quote from your statement that; the legislature cannot summon the executive regarding the "use of power"

I am sure by now you are smart enough to correct that statement.

plaindealer:
To summon and to impeach are 2 different things.

Stop confusing yourself with 2 different arguments.

Please sir, You did not answer the questions.
Two things but one point

plaindealer:
1. The president is the commander of the Nigerian armed forces, not the legislature. The legislature cannot summon the executive regarding the use of the Nigerian armed forces that's perfectly under the control of the executive according to the Nigerian constitution, that's democracy.

2. Nigeria has 3 Branches of Our Government, the Legislative, Executive and Judicial, all 3 are equal and independent so the legislature doesn't have any statutory or constitutional power to summon the executive or question the executive per the Nigerian armed forces.


Read the Nigerian constitution and while you are at it, civic education.

I have a couple of questions for you since we are delving into civic education...

1. Who begins the process of impeachment to the executive arm of government?
b) on what grounds can impeachment be triggered?

2. The US runs a democratic government model, give a detailed analysis of the impeachment hearing against president Donald Trump on December 18 2019?
b) list the proponents and list the accusations of the impeachment.

3. With the answers provided from 1 and 2 can a president be summoned by legislature, to answer to "use of power" in a Democratic model which Nigeria practices?

In otherwords dictator-cracy...

Naija in the final stages of One chance.

I encourage everyone to consider migration.

Geez adunno, maybe Boko Haram is a secular inspired uprising? I guess Nigeria has no religious clashes?

Maybe the presidency knows better

Eillyeillz:
For everyone asking what salah is doing on that list, means you haven't watched him play. Or seen his insane stats.

Mheen what are you talking about, what stats?
Bro, Salah has not even finished competing with Mane and he's included on a "Player of a Century" award list??
Like guy, you sef reason matter na

Like How can, or where do you even start comparing Salah to a player like R9(phenomenon) for example? What stats dyu want to use? Is it Ballon d'or stats or worldcup stats or what?
How?
But why??

crazygod:
All those ignorant posters there questioning why Salah was nominated know nothing. Liverpool was going down but in 2017, with the signing of Salah, Liverpool started playing sweet exotic football. 2017 alone, he was on the lips of every football lovers. Definitely we all know he has no chance against messi and CR7 but abeg he deserves to be nominated.

I have a question for you... between Salah and Sadio Mane, who is a more complete player?

Salah ke?
When did that one start sef?

Oooh Lawwwwwwwd, look... infact I really hate nonsense...
Player of the century award is up for grabs and Salah is on the list

If a Liverpool player had to be mentioned why not leave it at St Gerrard?
I personally rate Sadio Mane higher than Salah, so I really don't get it?
How?

Like, is this a joke??

This is all sorts of mental

J111333:
When a cop in the States pulls you over, the way he treats you will be determined by two major things;

1. Your criminal record. Oftentimes they partially run your record before approaching your vehicle.

2. Your reaction when they make the approach.

Nigerian immigrants have respect for cops in the States and most of them are not violent even when they are into criminality. This is why you hardly hear of police brutality in their community.

A Nigerian immigrant with verifiable regular job may never get pulled over by a cop for his entire stay in the States unless he runs red lights and drives excessively fast.

Here is the scenario. When a black American who has history with gun violence, drugs or gangsterism gets pulled over, the cop will always be ready to defend himself. A good number of times, the black man will not only disobey the cop's orders but will also resort to violence and that naturally will make the situation end up ugly.

This is where Whites and Hispanics do better than the blacks. When they are caught or cornered by the cops, they simply give up and obey orders but black Americans will always argue and claim unnecessary rights even when it is obvious that they are on the wrong of the law.

This is my opinion. Eventhough I live in Cotonou, I dey watch American movies.

You hit the nail on the balls bro!
When plates are run and the outcome is a notorious hood address and criminal records how dyu expect most police to address the situation... exactly, with a bit of some adrenaline and extra caution.

However when plates are run and its an immigrant file that pops open with legit hussle that shows on your file, they literally know how to address you. Infact from your accent and how you speak they know how to categorise you- if you out there talking with ebonics and all that slang from the hood, police know how to treat your matter. The way I speak to police always brings out a professional response from them.

Look African Americans from the hood, especially those crackhead fellas with their ratchet chics... aswear they aren't normal. I prefer dealing with white people or immigrants any day than most African Americans...especially from the hood. They crazy I tell you. Some things they do make me wonder if there are two African continents, because I can't relate to some forms of being African, despite being African myself.

Check most of the locations of police brutality done to black Americans (although I strongly condemn police brutality) you realise its mostly in the projects or "the hood" rarely done in the suburbs, if done in the suburbs the victims are mostly from the hood.

However there are still some racist police that target black folk tho I won't lie.

#Edited
After all the slap I don collect from Army, Mopol and SARS in Nigeria... please, I know how to adequately humble myself before any law enforcement this world has to offer.
Infact they are usually amused by my level of humility, because I am professionally humble... I was asked to show ID once and I was like "Amen sir!" Brought out even receipts, profiled myself, invited him to church and before doing dobale(which they nearly died of laughter), gave him my pizza I had(appeasing the gods), which liver I get to resist police? if they even catch me sef, I will take broom and sweep police station that is before cooking egusi soup for all the police officers...mheen Naija humbled me seriously.

Expresses shock.... na usual matter

I think it would make sense if Nigeria hired foreign forces to combat boko haram.
Because Nigeria doesn't have the capacity to.

Nbotee:
Exactly...lolzzz. Imagine an award Samuel Eto'o and Drogba won while past their best in Turkey says a lot about the award.. Dis one na compensation in advance

It seems you don't know that while at Antalyaspor, Eto was an interim manager... who went on to score 44goals.
Imagine managing a club and still playing as the highest scoring striker.
Eto to me was Africa's finest...no offence to Jay Jay Okocha
