ScamHunter: You're being paranoid. Fulani may be evil in many ways but not the sort of double-facedness you envisaged here. We all know the tribe that would do that. Talk of being directly murderous and I would agree. Say chameleonic and I say nah...
fergie001: They want to divide the Southern votes. Whatever they are doing has the backing of the Northern elite, so the only way they can do that is push a Southern narrative.... Who is that Southerner that can stand toe to toe with Tinubu? Obi.
Which then means that they are likely going to consider Obi as the candidate of the coalition.
sharpwriter: Abeg, stop asking questions like this. Someone like El-Rufai shouldn't have his names to be mentioned again in Nigerian politics, not to talk of whether he can be trusted or not. Seems his charms and jazz is already getting hold of someone like you. You people are just too easy to deceive and manipulate (no wonder oyinbo colonialists got us easily). And he hasn't even started dangling money yet and you can't discern him.
Rufai is a wicked breed of entity, and I hope you know he 's more evil than Buhari, especially for the fact that he is well read and intelligent (more brain energy to carry out evil deeds)
Someone like him should be thrown into oblivion especially this time that he has little power and political influence. he should be nailed away forever.
I’m surprised you don’t see that we share same view about the vile little man.
Nothing in my write up suggests that I’m already sold out to his moves.
fergie001: El-Rufai is not running for VP seat or Presidential seat. He knows many loathe him in the South or Christian-dominated Northern areas.
Again, he wants to be the face.... Obi isn't in the picture, that's the truth. He can't even be part of the coalition, his supporters need him to contest for President and nothing else, with the egos of people in that coalition, it's Atiku or nothing.
El-Rufai knows Tinubu is not a yesterday politician, his priority is to teach his old friend a lesson. At best, he is preparing for 2031.
I’d have argued with you but I know you have information.
When you told me Val was going to APC I doubted it only to see it happen.
But what I can say is that any coalition they are planning to build without Obi as the fulcrum, it’s as good as the north accepting Tinubu’s 8 years.
And by the way, why has Bashir been saying good things about Obi in recent days and even calling himself Obidient? Cruise?
fergie001: I think he is more after Uba Sani than Tinubu.
I think not.
Man is seriously trying to rally opposition figures together with support of Atiku and co.
Taking Uba Sani out will definitely be part of the plot but he definitely has his at Vice Presidential slot at least.
And it is my thinking that if the north is to give Peter Obi a running mate, for instance, Elrufai will be one of their first choices if not the only choice.
But asides the fact I hate Elrufai regaining influence and going close to Aso Rock and presidential powers, the question is, “is he truly sincere in these moves or playing the script of Tinubu and APC?”
DMerciful: The coalition has to agree from the get go who will be the presidential candidate and vice else Obi shouldn't go near it. Such agreement needs to be signed by all parties so that any primaries will be just for formalities
I just hope Obi is not carried away and he’s on guard.
Lately, Mallam Nasir Elrufai has been involved in a lot of media shenanigans which culminated in his defection to SDP from APC within the weekend.
These moves are obviously geared towards the 2027 general elections with Elrufai positioning to play a major role in the 2027 elections.
But I don’t trust him. Yes, I don’t trust Elrufai.
I might be wrong but something inside me tells me Elrufai is still working for Tinubu.
Yes, the man Tinubu is too politically shrewd to have just drop a character like Elrufai from his ministerial list just like that knowing the level of influence Elrufai welds within the northern powerbrokers.
What if Tinubu and Elrufai decided to play a game. And the game is simple - Elrufai gets dropped from the ministerial list. He plays victim and gets sympathy from northern populace.
Second part of the script is that they start to ‘persecute’ him which increases his victim script and makes him even more popular in the north.
Then he starts leading a supposed opposition coalition to ‘dislodge’ Tinubu.
Now, unsuspecting opposition members joins this supposed coalition only to play into hands of Elrufai and Tinubu.
Take Peter Obi for instance.
I’m sure they are already luring him to SDP that he would be the candidate of the united opposition but can he trust that? If Obi is not careful, he might take the bait and join the SDP only to not be given the ticket and then he would no longer be in the ticket to challenge Tinubu in 2027.
I’m not saying Obi should not join coalition forces but he should be careful of characters like Elrufai. Man is too evil that even if he’s not playing games, he should be left to remain irrelevant for life in the scheme of things in Nigeria.
This is why I’m not moved by Bashir Elrufai’s recent romance of Obidients.
ceejay80s: Egypt is a good place for work , speaking out of experience, don't mind these ones that don't know how Nigerian passport looks like let alone traveling, My neighbor is in oman making it big there and feeding his kids and paying his rent here in Nigeria
MiddleDimension: The first question you need to ask yourself is: what is the GDP of the country she is intending to travel to? What is their GDP per capita? compare that to Nigeria's figures and see if there will be any opportunity for your cousin.
As far as I know, Egypt is not doing considerably better than Nigeria. Also bear in mind that the country, like many countries in Africa and the rest of the world, is a highly unequal society. This means even the GDP per capita will not show you how well-off the average citizen is. There is almost no skill your cousin has, that at least 100,000 Egyptians do not have. And then comes the language barrier.
The issue of being looked down upon due to who she is because of her race, is one I will advice you not to ignore. Yes, it is real, and it is in such a level, she truly feel bad to face.
The issue with racism there,...they do not have an idea that they are truly hurting you. Its the sense of it is not there veruly much. For example, they can call you a slave to your face! Ayan Hirsi Ali faced the same thing in Saudi Arabia.
Of course, not everyone does this, it would be ridiculous to think everyone in those countries is that mean. But like I said, the anti-black attitude is highest in thr Arab world than it is anywhere else in the world.
The reason the west has made so much progreas in race relations better than enywhere else is because of the constitution and the civil rights movement that took place in those lands. Elsewhere, it has never really been an issue so thise societies have not changed very much. This is why they can call you the arabic word for slave without any hint that they are hurting you in anyway.
When it comes to where black people feel safest to live and work, it is here in sub-saharan Africa followed by the collective west. Anywhere else, just know you will be at the bottom of the social pyramid.
Thank you for taking your time to put these things down.
chidex88: Don't ever discourage her, Egypt is 100% safe and great.
If you do, you will regret it.
Try to link up and I will put you through.
I'm replying all these messages for the first time here in Nairaland because I see I can assist.
As long as it's Egypt, no shaking and no regrets.
If it's other Arab countries like, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi, Lebanon, Kuwait, etc. Then it's a no no because we even rescue some girls from those countries and bring them to Egypt for a good life.
ELKHALIFAISIS: you are stupid to mention Dubai in your post... Dubai is one of the best country where women right are protected I have live in Dubai for more than 15 years and I must tell you there's no single case of sex trafficking if you hear of sex trafficking just know it's your brother's that are inviting those girls from Nigeria to come and work for them as sex workers and police for long time has cramp down on them and deported all of them back to the shit hole they came from .... Dubai UAE is 200 times saver than America , that's why Europeans and Americans are coming every here and there to buy properties.. as for your sister going to Egypt, Egypt is far better than Nigeria in terms of respecting law and others , women has value there even Libya aks your sister how she got the visa is like one Benin boy won use am do sex worker she never tell you truth
You shouldn’t have called me stupid sir. I was just talking from the direct experience I had with a girl very close to me. Like you said, she too was deported.
But for my cousin, she said she got her visa from a woman who even has her daughters there too.
topsam1: It's mostly house help stuff they are doing there...they get them 3 months visit visa, travel through flight, then fix them with any family looking for maids....thereafter, get them the work permit (2 years) precisely....
That Is the most scenario.....but sometimes they get abused by their employers shaaa...
izombie: Also, i would suggest you show her this thread
I really wanna show her this thread but I don’t want her to freak out.
This is my dilemma…
What if the offer is sincere and she’s actually going to benefit from it even though with minimal suffering (she’s suffering in Nigeria anyways).
Now, I wouldn’t wanna scare her away from taking the chance because of some people’s bad experience.
That’s why I feel like showing her this thread is not a good idea.
What this thread has helped me with is to know how to properly direct her and dispose her mind to expect anything and everything. I told her this already.
1- foods that you follow wife/wives ( depends on family size) prepared, you can't take from it , nah leftovers person go chop. They are always fresh foods available in every home, so hunger is out of it
2- She won't leave the house except she is escorting her masters to market depends on car size or hilux, you go sit for boot with foodstuffs.
3- 80-90% of developing back-pain ( due to workloads)
4- All form of Domestic Abuses ( depending on the family size). You can have like 3-4 masters in the building.
5- She should be jovial with children and teaching them English. Tips go dey enter steady.
Finally for security reasons
1- not always your masters go knock before entering your room, always press recording on your phone, when you hear footsteps before the person open the door.
2- whenever you are tip by your visitors or master's husband, u need to have a recording and saved on email because your master can accuse you of stealing , within seconds police Don come and phone will be taken from you.
3- Your prayer point should always be on. Your agent and master.
joefelin2345: Oga stop this false historical account. Chief Obàfemi Awolowo became the Premier of Western Region in 1954 & not 1958. He left to contest for Federal position in 1959.
Beside, when Zik returned to East, wgat then happened to Prof Eyo. Ita who was the substantive Premier in the East then?
1954 or 1958, that doesn’t change the fact that Azikiwe’s NCNC won majority seats in Western Region but Awolowo used Ronu to get members of NCNC to defect to his party.
papyjaypaul: Strong men take tough decisions. It's tough love. She has not shown you a strong reason to go abroad. There are many many many stories of girls who are slaves abroad because they were deceived. These days social media pressure will make the girl think this is her own japa. She's not the one you should be speaking to, it's her parents. I'll also ask you, will you let your daughter go abroad like this?
Show the parents videos of the other side of Egypt. She does not have any adult that can protect her. Don't go to any foreign country if you don't know someone there or you don't know their language.
simpleseyi: These names that you call your parents fit them very well.
Since independence till date we have been whipping you mercilessly in all elections, now tell me who is bitter, the always Winners or the habitual Losers?
You have been whipping the East mercilessly in all elections since independence?
In 1958, Azikiwe’s party, NCNC, won majority seats in the West and Azikiwe was going to be the Premier of Western region until Awolowo introduced Ronu a night before the inauguration of the House and got Yoruba members who won elections in NCNC to defect to AG (Action Group) and give him the majority to win the Premiership.
But later at independence, and even when Nigeria became a republic in 1963, Azikiwe’s NCNC and Ahmadu Bello’s NPC came together to form the government with NPC producing the Prime Minister in Tafawa Balewa and NCNC producing the president in Azikiwe.
Again, at the return of democracy in 1979, the North and the East came together again to form government with Shehu Shagari as president and Alex Ekwueme as Vice President.
In 1999, Yorubas voted Olu Falae but the north and the East came together to vote Obasanjo into power.
The first time your region ever won against the East, since independence, was in 2015 when Tinubu supported a buffoon called Buhari to power because of his popularity.
So, which elections did you win against the east since independence to justify your claim of whipping our asses since independence?
Or are you just another sorry victim of withdrawal of History from the Nigerian school curriculum?
chatinent: While I don't support men beating women, I have legitly seen a woman slap a man repeatedly over a trivial issue...while still running her mouth.
What's the issue? It's a queue issue and the man came before the woman and disallowed her from trying to double-cross him by using the person in the front of the man as an excuse that that person allowed her to stay in the front.
The man was like: "if the person in the front allowed you to stay in front, then he has forfeit his position for you and one person must go to the back. I've been standing for 30mins and won't tolerate being cheated."
The lady started with "I will enter this line and there is nothing you can do... because I am even cool. Wo, me I dey mad too o. I've been talking politely at least. Come and beat me naw, since you bi woman beater."
She come enter the line. The person who allowed her just minded his business and refused to even talk.
Omo, as she entered, the argument got heated up as the main man insisted he won't allow it unless the good Samaritan forfeited his position. Na so this woman begin chochocho...like typewriter. The main man even stopped talking and she became more furious. The man just stood gigiban for the line to prevent illegal entrance. Next thing we had was TAAAWAAI. Omo, the man held himself and told her he would only respect her this once because she's a woman. Before he could finish, TAWAAAIII!
Me I was caught in the moment, before you could say Jack, this man don forget headbutt for this woman face naso she fall. We come rush hold the man o before en kill parrot.
Gaslight, mouth, attitude, victim game, come and beat = Some Women. Esp, the gaslighting.
People: Don't beat a woman. Some women: if you are a man, come and beat me.
matrixmuzi: Done allow her travel . I have been to Egypt . They will enslave her . The will wake away her passport and phone upon arrival . Don’t let her go or she might come back in a body bag . They don’t like black’s especially Nigerians
hammed71: Bro if you don't want your cousin to experience what this guy is saying here, you better call all your family members to talk to her and discourage her
If I do this, she’s going to hate me for life.
I’m careful not be the reason she doesn’t take a chance at life.
Difrent: Let your cousin beware, Alexandria In Egypt is known as a hub for organ trade. Warn her seriously. I watched a documentary where the girl was employed as a domestic servant but their main aim was to harvest her organ for Oga whose organ is failing....they began giving her some medication, even though she luckily escaped the drugs they were giving her has damaged her
