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 did all my monthly expenses from my Mini job and used 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 (I saved millions of naira and will even save more as time goes) 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

xProfx:
The issue of taxation for companies with nationwide branches should be revisited.
All of these banks pay federal taxes, they're still expected to pay state taxes, making it double taxation. I am not a tax expert, but that doesn't seem fair... These are the things that drive the cost of transaction upwards and customers won't understand.

Who is onovo? Is it the most useless and foolish IGP we have ever recorded in this country?

omenka:
Didnt bother reading all that lengthy story, but what I know is, momentum or not, Star Boy PYO anyday any time, more so on sundays, for the APC banner. A PYO/Ribadu ticket works perfectly for ME.

That is my desire.

PDP can give theirs to Atiku or Shekau for all I care.

PYO, Star boy or whatever you choose to call him will retire in 2023. He's got no chance.




Ps.

No punk should come wailing inside my mention. I don't decide who gets the tickets, I can only DESIRE to see someone get it, and have the right to my desires. So if you crawl on your belly like slithering reptile, howling and cursing as though Omenka is the decider of the parties' flagbearers, then you must have serious mental and emotional issues.

I am not telling you I supported Nnamdi Azikiwes foolish one nigeria stand nor aguuiy ironsi's illiterate unitary decree.
I agree that those igbo men didn't do well but another igbo man by name Ojukwu corrected the anomalies with "aburi accord" and forged a way forward which would have benefited everybody but you all out of hatred for the igbos decided to fight against it, you didn't know that you were fighting against Nigeria's progress.

See where we are today since the igbos left Nigeria for you people to manage since 1970.

The killings buratai is talking about includes kidnapping and armed robbery which is as a result of your guys not having job.
My guy by the kind of wealth in your place your people supposed to be enjoying like the Saudis and Kuwait people.

If igbos pillage you is it not better than fulani pillaging?
At least the wealth will remain in this our region. No igbo man will kill you because of religion the way fulanis do to you when you go to their side either for NYSC or other things even though it's your money that was used to develop that far sokoto region they will still kill you.

God joined you with us and we also didn't ask to be joined to be one south east.
Hope you know that any ship or plane coming to eastern Nigeria their compass will read SE because there is nothing like south south in any geography in the world or on any compass

That means God made us neighbors, it's you people that invited the fulanis to come and save you from us and today they weakened us and can treat either of us anyhow they like.
The same thing afonja did against the ibadan empire that made fulanis kill him

Every Nigerian is either in this triangle WAZOBIA.
You can only be free from it when you have ur own country

We praise God. Go to churches all across Nigeria and see igbo songs dominate.
Igbos have really done justice to Christian songs in Nigeria. God will never forget us

You talking about baby factory and co.
This is earth and not heaven so earthly crimes must surface from every tribe, no tribe is 100% holy including Israel and that didn't stop God from fighting for them

Aguiyi ironsi did a mistake which Ojukwu corrected it and you people prefer ironsis restructuring and fought for it.
Igbo man never fought to keep ironsis restructuring its you people that fought to keep it so stop blaming the igbos

bigfish3k:
So if it is established that Jaja is an Igbo Man you will now agree that Opobo people are igbos.
I just don't know how to download internet on Nairaland. I would have shown you. All the internet stories including British archives recognize him as an Igbo man

If ijaw is to have a country of its own today will you allow an opobo/bonny man bearing chukwuma Chima to rule you? Wouldn't you start reminding them of their igbo origin for political gains.
Wouldn't you people marginalize them? Will they ever have a chance with you people given their minority status against the larger ijaw names like
Ayakurumo, Dobara, Iniye, Fezia etc

If all the answers are No.
Why is it that nobody bearing Chima or chinedu has ever become the president of the IYC. - ijaw youth council.

King Jaja founded opobo - that is the general recognized term and his family is the royal family there till date.
Jaja was the king of opobo and was never known with the title of amanyabo. You people want the place to look and sound ijaw but you can never remove the igboness from them.

You people are just looking for who to marginalise

Your English comparison of names with igbo names is flawed

English colonized most of the world so the world over bear their names its not the same for the igbos. We have English names on our streets like Victoria Island, George IV Street, Douglas road, bourdillion road, Cameron road etc

Anybody bearing igbo names is an Igbo because the world don't bear igbo names apart from the igbos and the igbos didn't colonize anybody so we don't have chukwuma street in London or Chima Avenue in America

So any opobo indigene or bonny indigene bearing igbo name is an Igbo because that is our distinct identity

plaindealerr:
Fast forward to 2020, the same Falana, the sameSAN, different comment on the same issues.

Arrewa:
Fulanis are great people... We are Born to win!!

A typical Fulani man is a brilliant, intelligent creature, usually blessed with a natural leadership acumen. When educated, they tend to excel & dominate wherever they're found hence their exploits.

You think Amina Mohammed is the UN Dep. Sec. Gen. Only because of her certificate?

Why do you think Dangote is the richest black man in the world?

We are great people

So the hatred should keep coming...

We are immune to hatred!!

We are the Vikings of Africa!

yarimo:
WIKE this is just the beginning, i have been saying it JONATHAN is the last PDP president of nigeria

Openbusiness:
Some weeks ago, Barcelona beat Juventus in this same UCL 2: 0, but we didn't see threads on it. But ordinary win of 3:0 of which 2 was even penalties, they will create 1 million and one threads on it and somehow one fan boy moderator will push it to front page. Penaldoooo fan boys are too insecure . Messi remains the GOAT and Penaldooo remains a penalty opportunist. 750 goals scored, maybe 600 were penalties, penalties won by other players

This is the stats for the match:

Christiane Ronaldo didn't play that match, that's the difference. If he did, people would have talked a lot about it.

Possession: 59 / 41% Barca wins
Shots on target: 7 / 4 Barca wins
Shots missed: 10 / 4 Barca wins
Corners: 5 / 1 Barca wins
Goalkeeper saves: 1 / 7 Juventus wins

Barca had more shots both on target and off target = made Barca more attempts to score. But they were just unlucky yesterday night, plus their goalkeeper was just fumbling but Juventus goalkeeper did very well and saved them. Penaldooo did NOTHING special in that match. Mtchwwwww

Farukshy:
Pls stop hating..the igbo girl that last represent naija was among the last 3 standing, even the yourba girl that represent last common wealth was also among the last 10 standing...truth be told this trib igbo ,has the most beautiful girl

Nonexistent:
Does it mean all top beauty queens in Nigeria are Ibos? I don't get it.

Even though I'm Yoruba but I think Igbo language is far better than our language and I urge every Yoruba person to learn Igbo

BastardWike:
Rich elites are rushing after Igbo women like hot cakes. Benue first lady is Igbo. Ondo first lady is Igbo and the list goes on!

bigfish3k:
Hmnm. Foolish demand
You demanded to be separated from the igbos and be handed over to the illiterate fulani jihadists in far away sokoto. RUGA is waiting for you.

Assuming the igbos controlled your land 50%, the herdsmen fulanis are now controlling it 90%.thats why you are crying every day for resource control and pay tax before you can go to your farms
The fulanis even "mumufied" you people by giving you "mai guard" contract to guide pipelines siphoning oil from your land to sokoto and Niger Republic while they occupy all the juicy positions in NNPC
They will be paying you peanuts from the money made from your land while you are meant to remain grateful to them
Its just like somebody that stole your shirt, when you complain he will remove one botton from the shirt and give you to shut your mouth.


You said Nigerian army learnt from the igbos, can you relate to me any situation where the igbos has ever wiped out a whole community of Ijaws like your fulani saviors did to you in odi.

Even if it happened, I thought the illiterate fulanis were to save you and not wipe out your generations when you try to resist them. You people are in a deeper shit. Better go and pay your tax to your fulani saviors before you go to the farm while you await RUGA and water resources bill to take over all your waters.

What is the population of the Ijaws that you say they are not minorities.
Nigeria can broadly be grouped into three tribes of which you people are grouped under igbos. When they are attacking igbos in the north, you people are not spared

Igbos did nothing against Nigeria other than to be on their own as the SE or implement aburi accord as agreed and signed by all
Igbo blood killed for nothing is crying to God and that is why Nigeria is in shambles, the Master minder, the north is suffering killings every day.
You suppose know that God must revenge for us because we have the largest concentration of Christianity in Nigeria praising God every day with different Christian songs

Everybody is shouting restructuring.
This is the same restructuring they foolishly fought against but shame will not allow them apologize to the igbos as did the north central.

You people can continue playing the ostrich, it's only the truth for the igbos can save nigeria.
Buratai has asked you to wait for another 20 years of suffering and killings.

bigfish3k:
The evidence that Jaja is igbo is scattered everywhere on the net. It's not even a subject of debate to those that know history
If you have freed him as a slave then he is free indeed. You can't treat him as such any longer
Even if you say that the land belongs to Ijaws and has been agreed by the fore fathers and given to him and his descendants who still occupy the place till date why are you people still dragging what has been given out through agreements and concessions hundreds of years ago.

Jaja family will continue to occupy it forever and they are igbos with igbo names as chika, chinedu, Chima.
The Jajas of igbo origin has come to stay.
If somebody introduces himself to you that his name is Chima from opobo and ijaw by tribe. Wouldn't you be confused

You have given opobo out to the Jajas and its forever.
You didn't rent it out to them. It was given to him because he fulfilled the criteria
You can't be dragging what has been conceded
Even if you change the name of the kingship to amanayabo it doesn't change the Jajas to ijaw tribe. Igbo is the lingua franca in the Palace
which is the most important thing.

The fulanis named ilorin with an emir instead of an oba. That has not made ilorin to now be a fulani town. It's still Yoruba
People don't convert from one tribe to another. You are still who you are.

Please try and find out through the net where Jaja originates from. He is igbo

Saao:
I thought it's haram to protest? Now is not haram because it's against the south Minister. Who will take up construction job in the north with high insecurities in the north? Some of us from the middlebelt are avoiding home just for the fear of kidnappers.
