You will only do menial jobs for long if you japa illegally or didn’t have the right skills from Nigeria. Most people i know that came to Canada with permanent residency are doing job they were doing in Nigeria. Some of them had to start with menial jobs sha (2-4 months) before getting their dream jobs.

But there are people who still japa with visit visa or claim asylum. They don’t regret the menial jobs cos they are still able to save than what they saved in Nigeria.

Seconded. . My fiancee just a girl friend as at then japa to New York 2016. She didn't even tell me she went to flip burger though she was 18 or 19 then final year computer science in covenant uni. Today she's a Nurse over there after she went back to uni to study nursing there and flipping burder sideways. I do taunt her by calling her burger queen (Burger King) stuff. But today she's doing very fine like very very fine over there.

My elder sister left her coming up chamber in Nigeria where she was making cool cash and migrated to Texas. Omoh she when do baby sitter job join, today she's a lecture in one of the schools over there.



Japa is not a bed of roses but at the end, the rose dey bloom out

What do you bastard gain in tarnishing people's name and screwing false stories just to feather your best. You guys won't live long for real.

The East at the time was not after any tribe including their (eastern) military officers who participated in the coups and was later called the Igbo coupists. From my view, it was a military movement of like-minded across regions to free Nigerians from her selfish oligarchs. However, the executioners of the coup especially those tasked with killing Igbo major politicians failed in their assigned tasks which gave it the colour of Igbo coup. I believe the coupists wanted the likes of Awo(whom Ojukwu too preferred) to take over power but failed in their calculation and the cluelessness of Ironsi was what led to the continued killing of his people up north while he had power without being decisive of what to do. I don't think it's fear of the west, he simply believed he could be more Nigerian than any other ruler of that time, thereby surrounding himself with people from outside his ethnic stock. I bet Ojukwu would have handled it differently considering his level of intelligence and and understanding of Nigeria

Let me make reference to Adewale Ademoyega book Why we struck and Ben gbulie book The five majors. For real the coup wasn't an Igbo coup as it was blown out of proportion to be. But if you checked the core plotters they were all igbos. Even nzeogwu wasn't among the core plotters. He was brought in by his childhood friend chukwuka and nzeogwu then brought in the only Yoruba officer that took part in the major coup that's Adewale Ademoyega. Read the reluctant rebel by fola. He his among the executors. The coup was postulated and carried out by majorly Igbo officers except a few 5 percent who were told about it at the last minute or just giving a task to form. Yeah Adewale Ademoyega talked about their plan was to release Awolowo from prison bla bla bla. But who would believe that? If ironsi died, it could have been a different story today I believe. Making reference to page 156 of Max silloun book oil politics and violence, it's seen there after Hassan katsina told ojukwu in the Aburi meeting that he didn't react with same revulsion when senior northern officers were murdered by Igbo soldiers seven month earlier. Ojukwu mentioned Ademoyega Western as part, kpera a northerner as part and even okotie eboh who was killed. But then, who will see things from that perspective especially the less educated northerners as at then.


Like I said, ironsi was a weak man just like Jonathan and they both ended like they did. I could cut Jonathan some slack as it was civilian rule but even at that, dude still have no balls. If ironsi wanted to be a true Nigerian, he would have took charge by prosecuting or rule of force

NSK4U:
I don't blame him on this one, as a leader, you appoint who you trust. Mistake of Aguyi Ironsi during the coups....... mistake of Jonathan with Jega pre 2015 election

You made sense and I gave you a like, but JTU aguiyi ironsi issue was not appointing close pals. Even Gowon who appointed his angas kinsmen as guards Commander was it not the same Col person of William walbe, the same but an that killed Ironsi and Fajuyi alongside Damjuma that annouced the coup? Read this Max silloun book titled the culture of coup in Nigeria. I feel aguiyi ironsi mistake was not taking side as he just sat on the fence all through. This is military rule we are talking about here. He could have taken side either sending the January 1966 coup plotters to trial and subsequent execution. But he was scared of the westerners who had the most senior officers as at then and most of the senior officers were sympathisers to the coup. Talk of Fajuyi, Adebayo, Ejoor and the likes. If he won't try the plotters he had the option of been ruthless to continue where the plotters stopped. That's exactly what IBB did by eliminating perceived threats like Vatsa and the likes. But he didn't want to be in anyone's bad book and he ended up paying for it with his life. The same central govt he made a decree to form that turned the 1966 Kano riot as the northerners were against it was the same thing Gowon later did and ojukwu was against in the Aburi meeting. Ironsi was feeble hearted just like Jonathan no wonder Kaduna nzeogwu reffered to him in the ejindu interview that ironsi joined the army as a clerk and he remained a clerk till death. I'm not Igbo but from my knowledge of history I believe the villians is my tribe, that's the Yoruba tribe and even though I didn't agree with every action and perspective of ojukwu, but I love to study that man as he has the big dog in the yard. No wonder danjuma and William walbe killed Ironsi and Fajuyi the way they did.

Divorce matter wey dey long. Them for do 5 years for court

helinues:
No be lie oo.

Infact they jumped on buses but when they reach Nigeria, if they are not driving, na Uber.

The exaggerated abroad

Funnily, everywhere na abroad including Nigeria, abi na where the British in Nigeria go talk say him dey if no be abroad

Because public buses abroad are safe and modest. Go to Atlanta, the likes of Aregbesola and co are there jumping buses and comporting themselves and this same folks make public transportation like a death sentence in Nigeria due to the government policy and the fact most of the drivers are never checked and mentally deemed fit to drive

No doubt, but is it the same way they are appreciated abroad in cash and kind same way they are appreciated here even in cash alone. E be like this lady is out of touch with reality.


I went out with my fiancee abroad during one of my visiting over there, we decided to eat out in one of the restaurant outlets. You need to see the way the waitress was so proud of her work and treated with so much respect. Unlike Nigeria where to be a driver is like been the most lowlife.

So the fools didn't support him because they knew he was reliable and capable, they supported him for their own selfish reasons.......

More reason Nigeria is doomed. It can't be well with this set of people. They are even threatening on next election, I suppose they will still support the highest bidder.

House34:
Sir,The process for getting a visa from the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) doesn't speed up, even if you have an event coming up soon. Even if your event is next month, it won't make your visa process faster. Your visa could still be approved after your event has passed. However, it's unlikely you'll hear back by April because many people who applied in October are still waiting for updates, and you only applied a month ago. So, patience is key when applying for a visit visa to Canada.

Thanks. I called up the VFS office already.

Lyoncrescent:
If the summer school can contact the Canadian high commission in nigeria directly with a letter stating your intention amd your name and passport number and date of birth in the letter and send to them via fax or mail or post, then maybe it will help. That's what was done for me however i had a copy of the letter before my application and we all made sure the letter was sent first to the canadian high commission before we applied.i attached a copy of the letter to my application as my letter of invitation. However I also work with a federal government agency and my company was to fully sponsor my trip.

The difference may be i did all these before application but you have applied already

Please how long will it take to get a passport request after biometric. I submitted my biometric on the 8th of February and I'm yet to get by thing from em. I have an occasion to attend April and I'm scared it might not make up

Ogbeniwale:
I submitted in June and received a mail last week that my visa is approved in which I have submitted my passport for visa stamp on Monday morning

Please how long after biometrics were you called to submit your passport? I have an occasion scheduled for April I did my biometric on the 8th of February and I'm yet to receive any tip off on the next thing.

It's the Fido dido for me......


I think you have nothing to worry about just yet. Secondary school days I had one friend called Tommy his father was even a judge as at then so money isn't the problem. But dude look as skinny as an hausa goat. Omo just bones no iota of flesh. But the day baba and one dude exhanged blows as the dude called him Hiv patient, I promised myself never to get in his bad side . He has everything he needed, fed very healthy too.... Funny her junior sisters happen to be robust na just this guy look like stick.


He was like that till we finished school and we pathed ways. Last time I saw him, he his a lawyer marrried with a child. Baba still slim like stick only that he looks mature older and better now.

jrobbins:
Are you me? Same scenario bro, just that mine, the lady abroad has a kid for me.

I suppose I'm the future you as I plan putting her the family way on the next meeting.

For me. It's even the double lifestyle of most married folks. My guys will be like go and marry.... Yet when we meet to relax in lounge it's with different ladies their wives must not know about. Why the double standard. The same you who will complain in lounge about your wife giving you issue and how you are tired will still tell me moments after to find one and do. As in isn't it big time double standard? So I should find one and do and end up miserable like y'all.......... I'm enjoying single hood. I have a lady abroad and I'm still double thinking on her. The peace of leaving my home and meeting it in the same tidy and perfect way is just it for me. The fact I don't have to lie to any body on where my location is or hide a lady in an hotel or guest home perhaps studio apartment is alot to enjoy.


As of yesterday I paid a very beautiful young lady to keep me company and she really gave me the best of the best. It's transactional and just perfect. I'm not even worried about bills of in-laws or nagging from anyone. Even my lady abrosd once she gives attitude most times I press the red button on my phone. I hate stress and everything that with affect mental health is tantamount to destroying me.


Marriage is great in books, fictions and movie roles. The goodness is a mirage in real life. It's about bills, more bills, pay more bills or u quit, pay more bills and beg to enjoy what you paid for. I give up jare

Obainoman6:
4m for dis carton? I will give you 1.9m

You sound magnanimous with 1.9. Try 850k

Damnnn niggar

This one na just weak man

As in. Na one bastard

This is dead and buried, they shouldn't open up old wounds.

With 301 votes from a get-together not recognized..... It's fake!

Voting has not started.

Fake? The news is well on vanguard. Always double check before you call a news fake

Tinubu is giving you problem you never resolve, you still go add girl matter......... You better don't die Young.

philiancoop:
Pastor Adeboye say it's prayers we need

That political man of politics. I lost all respect for him when he dived into politics and started supporting the oppressors for the oppressed. He literally campaign for some by speaking against other opponents.


He has never for once spoke against the bad things happening as most politicians remit there tithe to him. Later he will channel shame walk abi na prayer walk he calls it.

The man lacks shame

maestro299:
Please don't even pay attention to that moniker.
His/her reality isn't the same as mine or yours.

His irrational comments have been over the limit since the era of buhari, I just had to quote him today. Wish we can know the face of some nairalanders for real so when you see them in person you can avoid such nonentity.

realtestament:
Buhari was called a dullard, tinubu is amplifying it🥲

Tinubu made buhari look very intelligent with his failure pro max. Funny thing, the next leader after Tinubu will make Tinubu look intelligent by his failures too.


I wonder why nigeria always have a better yesterday in lieu of rulers

[quote author= post=128583991]The thing to do about making people happy is not to give them a job, you first give them hope.
So, the government ought to be communicating hope.
They ought to be saying we are going through this difficult period but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Although,
The subsidy removal is here to stay,
The betterment of Nigeria comes first.
On the long run, it will favour Nigerian citizens.

Nigeria will be great in our lifetime.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬[/quote]Do you get to sleep at night?

I just marvel at your sycophancy online and wonder how you get to sleep with such toxic mindset

I went to pick up my passport at VFS office last week at the marlnor hall. I went as early as 08:00. Omoh the queue wasn't friendly at all. Folks who came for capturing and submitting of passport plenty die😀😀. Omoh even people dey japa go China from the folks on queue. Good thing those VFS guys were allowing 36k VIP service to beat the queue. I just collect my passport around 10:00 and left the mad rush.

princepeter566:
God do this one for me
I never drank alcohol no smoke nor do drugs since my 30 yrs plus here on earth.
Thank u Jesus for training me up for a day like this

Does that make you better than folks who drink?


Why is there this stereotype drinking is bad!

Swallow with egg? And 3 eggs and meat?

Not trying to criticize your meal but omoh, the eggs and meat combo is a big NO NO to me moreso the tuwo.


Naturally once too much protein dey food like this it's a great turn off to me already.

Aruwe1:
A friend of mine bought this phone for 23k today....May God help us in this country

Are you just knowing this? One baba in my area was arrested by police and taking over 100km away as they traced a stolen phone to him. It wasn't the phone dey say with him but his line was one way or seen as it was once inserted to the phone. Long story short baba was taking from ibadan to ilorin baba at 75 o. We called and they explained the situation. We had to buy the two phones back a camon and one tecno button phone. I thought with 7k we could get the phone and 35k for the big phone, bail like 5k. I shock when I heard Tecno button phone 30k camon phone 100+ bail 20k. Omoh, I just weak

This is barbaric. Police needs to clamp down on jungle justice already. C'mon the perpetrators should be charged with attempted murder and made as deterrent for others with this mentality. Haba

What is wrong is the poor man's stereotype idea attached to it. Inherently, there might be personality clash between your mum and wife if it's in the same structure. Especially kitchen duties. Even my mum and sister do disagree on certain things kitchen wise and household arrangements, now imagine a whole foreign lady coming into the picture. This might be the greatest kibosh to me. But if in the same compound but different buildings, omoh it's a win win. A doctor friend is married with two kids and still stays in his Dad's compound. He his doing very well alongside the wife hitherto.

Arobaga:
Make them better give this guy movie role or work




If he carry this skills enter robbery omo e go loud oo

How una dey take reason this kind comments.... Omoh

Wike will be here to shout and brag as usual. Just noise and nothing to show for it.

MrEverest:
Lol, who are these ones? FAAN has been relocated to Lagos along with CBN and others are going to be relocated from Abuja to Lagos too. Tinubu has returned the capital to Lagos and there is nothing the north can do about it.

Firstly, he removed Fulanis and other northerners in crucial positions like Customs, CBN and NNPC and replaced them with Yorubas. What did you people do aside to make noise? Now he has technically moved the capital back to Lagos, it’s only noise you will make too.

Meanwhile, if you guys think you will remove him through the ballot, then you’re out of your mind. Tinubu will remove Mahmoud and replace him with a Yoruba omoluabi who will ensure he wins the election by all means necessary, even if it means grabbing and running with it. By the time Tinubu is done with you guys, you won’t even have mouth to talk again.

I don laugh pour water for body with the even it means grabbing and running with it. As in.....
