Travel / Re: Japa Fad; A Bite In The Bottoms Of 3rd World Countries Sooner Or Later by PeachtreeReside(f): 11:12am On Aug 24, 2023 |
UnusualEmissary: Exactly. I just wished we are not so naive in thinking that These Western Countries mean the best for us by issuing visas to all and sundry. |
Travel / Japa Fad; A Bite In The Bottoms Of 3rd World Countries Sooner Or Later by PeachtreeReside(f): 9:57am On Aug 24, 2023 |
I read with great sadness of the people who having sold all their belongings to The UK only to get there and not be able to work or work enough to pay their bills both in the UK and in Nigeria. I have seen videos of Nigerians who in Nigeria were well to do but due to several factors chief of which is peer pressure succumbed to this decade's Japa Wave and are now caught in between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea. Most cannot afford to come back and continue the lives they interrupted because they do not have anything to fall back on or to. https://www.nairaland.com/7813973/uk-skilled-worker-visa-story It was sad to see Professionals here in Nigeria become Carers, Cleaners and I wondered if there parents are not wondering why give a child an Education if the said child would run away to another country to do a job that he or she would not have dared to do in Nigeria. Inasmuch as i love the UK, the ambience, the well planned settings and all, I am not fooled to think that they are issuing visas out of love or concern. They are pooling in funds into their Economy and it is a gamble that they have played knowing that a percentage of those who come in will go back without being able to achieve the aim of getting that coveted British Pssport cum Citizenship. Definitely not a loss to the UK Government as their policies are notorious for being changed at will to favour them whilst putting people in peril. The cunning of The British is something we need to study... Same cunningness that led them to colonising countries bigger than theirs is a kind of juju in my opinion. If you can raise millions of Naira into servitude, why can't one channel those funds into an Industry that The Lebanese, Indians and Co are thriving? Not all can japa, so what next? I remember those IG Japa Professionals who spurred a lot of people on and grew their YouTube pages with all sorts of information, they arr laughing and dancing to the banks with their earnings. I wish we had a group of people who will encourage us to know how to build our Country for a better today and tomorrow. N.B This post is not about advising people not to japa ooo. Just think about it and pray we'll before you go ahead is why I wrote this post. 6 Likes |

Politics / Re: Leaked Memo: DSS Arrests Abuja- Kaduna Train Manager by PeachtreeReside(f): 10:49am On Aug 21, 2023 |
Yugoslavia247: It is an official matter so a letter has to be written not word of mouth informing The Manager. A letter going out from an office would have an acknowledgement copy as evidence of letter sent and received. There is no way an evidence for an audio conversation would be possible as suggested by you. |
Politics / Re: Why Tinubu Must Restore Fuel Subsidies Now - Farooq A. Kperogi by PeachtreeReside(f): 8:05am On Aug 19, 2023 |
To remove or not to remove fuel subsidy is now a Philosophical Question of which both sides of the divide have strong arguments to support it. Truth be said we do not have patriotic Government Officials that is why The Subsidy Scam has gone on for so long and nipping it in the bud is an elusive dream. If it is restored why hope is there that it will benefit the masses? All I want is that The Nigerian Economy is jumpstarted so that we can produce and export in billions of tonnes outside our shores. 1 Like |

Any one who claims to be a religious person dealing in anything harmful is an EVIL Person. A humanist would not deliberately do stuff that would harm others . I can never understand why anyone would do drugs nor supply it. The one caught in a Lagos Club the other day will legit think he is hustling and doing a honest job that kills people and destroys destinies?? 1 Like |

IconicR: 1 month is too short for her or anyone to get over a loss. No one can hurry her up or make her get over it at the snap of a finger. That is why one needs to be good and kind to others so they can take turns in staying with us in our time of needs. The pain can never ever go . The scar never fades. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Education / Re: Taraba State University Bans Miniskirts, Baggy Jeans, Tattoos, Eye Lashes by PeachtreeReside(f): 10:21am On Aug 14, 2023 |
nairalanda1: Are the schools preparing them for the harsh work cum career reality of life or policing their dressing? Am I against indecent dressing? At all. More emphasis seems to be placed on their looks than on them being ready for the after school life. If only useless lecturers were admonished not to be useless and foolish too. |

nairalanda1: Lolz your response is hilarious! Values, ethical behaviour, creativity , drive ,passion and doggedness can do mindset is what students need. That is why we have the rot we have in Nigeria. People who are lazy, cannot work and do not think strategically and for the longterm. Dress crazy but please have brains and have values and great work ethics |
Education / Re: Taraba State University Bans Miniskirts, Baggy Jeans, Tattoos, Eye Lashes by PeachtreeReside(f): 4:45am On Aug 14, 2023 |
I honestly think that this is unnecessary and unreasonable. Does this help the students to prepare for their future,? Policing of outfits is not what normal productive Institutions do. Instead they should work on bringing out the best in their students and ensuring that they are ready for the future and society. |

LuQuLuQu: I hope Pastor Taiwo did not die of Cancer because if he did then tests need to be run on his household and their source of water also the area. I read of 2 neighbours who suffered from cancer and a lot of people felt that the coincidence might be Medical and not Spiritual. Also, that tests needed to be conducted to know if there was a chemical leakage into their water systems since they lived in Ilipeju which is an Industrial Area. 1 Like |

Please go.and see a Doctor so you will run tests and know exactly what to treat. Your wife is at risk if you have sex with her without being completely cleared. HOW FOOLISH ARE YOU TO HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WITHOUT TESTING BOTH YOURSELF AND THE SEX PARTNER?? HIV IS STILL REAL. STDS THAT WILL DAMAGE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR WIFE. Do those tests asap and finish your dosage and run a test again to be sure you are completely free. No self medication please. 2 Likes |

There is the part of those ladies being DIRTY AND The part of the event center not providing clean up of the toilets every 30mins or so. Was adequate toilet rolls provided? Are the toilets working properly and have good water supply? There is a way a service is provided that one will be ashamed to mess it up. You need to have toilet attendants on standby on the day of the event. 5 Likes |

Never believe all that anyone tells you... I even thought he bought or started a car wash. He is one of those boys washing the cars. Your friend is an impulsive person and needs to be careful before taking decisions. You can't accommodate someone when you are not in a good place yourself. |
