The joke is on you sir! no one is praising any country against Naija, but you know the realities but you chose to be insentitive and bad-mouthing all aim to discourage others from trying to get out of this "sh*t hole". You lie, sir! People will move as they find okay out of here, your minions cant stop that! Obvioulsy you are a "street boy" over there. You do "work that they cant do" ...that is what you are all about, now you have turned a cry cry baby.. feeling bad. Check all that you stated, imagine that someone has all all this info and still living there, slaving away? Why the delusion...to what end for you? It is the likes of you who have travelled with aim on "picking money" from trees and being disappointed as you have to work to earn a living compared to "money miss road" mentality and shenanigans here. The likes will shout on top of their head that they dont want to pay tax because they feel it is too much instead of focuing on how to get more skill to command improve pay. Come back to your "rich cultrure" and let the "slaves" enjoy their slavery. you lie too much and it is not healthy for you. Come back to roast here and then you will value the "slavery" than the "rich culture" of injustice and lack of basic amenities. . Marjoribanks: 1 Like |

NPFLADMIN: It's not the money but security and open gates of the future of those children. Nobody can understand. Nigeria and Nigerian passport is quite restricted. Even a Zimb has more integrity than Nigerian abroad. If you understand how they useless that green color, you will understand why the sacrifice to create options that expands ur horizon... 2 Likes |

standfit007:lol! Say whatever you like about me! My message is clear! Without their superficial currencies they would be worse than Africa. Without electricity they would all be dead. It wasn't cos they have superior cultures but cos those amenities are necessities. They stole us dry to build their nation. Still backing their currencies with our stolen gold while giving it superficial rate. The world economy is in their hands nevertheless people are succeeding in Nigeria too. Many! People are living in trailers and poverty here too. So? |

Gerrard59: You're correct on that. I think the vast majority of immigrants since 2007 or so will never return to Nigeria unless there's a superlative improvement in the economy, with solid free market reforms. There's plenty signs of permanent migration. Bitter lessons were learned in the 1970's and 80's. I still can't believe I moved back to Nigeria Call me stupid, but most Nigerians are wiser in their personal affairs. Thanks. Good Luck to Nigeria. |

Marjoribanks: Wonderful comment I must say. Somebody once said that the earlier we discard most of what we see in American movies, the better. Well done. Very well said. If you are a Nigerian that has not been to Nigeria before and you see the way some portray this country, you might want to go back to heaven to fight the angel that pointed you in this direction. 1 Like |

A reminder; to emigrate to a society requires that one is fully ready to be integrated into that society’s ground rules. You can find a way to live your home culture as far as you don’t “force” it on them or harm them. Where you go in and expect to “immediately” import and establish your home culture, you will be having a very hard time, especially as the society never called for you but you decided to apply to be granted permit. So respect ground rules there. This is a given and a just way to live in a new society. I’m afraid this is not your case. You r discrediting nations that have worked to earned their place in the committee of nations. Amazingly you are still at the same place/nation that you are alluding their success to arm twisting. Recall this is not even the discourse. One thing is clear, the discourse is, they are ahead of 9ja like the distance btw earth and her closest planet in terms of basic amenities, justice and quality of life. Are these too much to have established here since 1960-2024 of Naija existence? Moreover All these are zero back here in our Naija for now and even in a very very long time to come, no one is even coming to save us. So, sir, kindly stay back, appreciate the opportunities in your current country of residence, maximizing all possibilities and achieve your goals in life(remove “I want to hammer” and I will “pepper them” mentality and pursuits….these are what lead to disappointment and frustration like you have expressed in all your responses…it became too obvious by each of your responses that you went with “I want to hammer” mindset . Focus on achieving whatever beautiful goals you have planned to achieve in your new found nation and ensure no one is hurt or k1lled while at it. Marjoribanks: 1 Like |

Did your forefathers called for them when they came with their guns to take control of their lands? Did they respect your forefathers culture and integrate? You are suffering from colonial deformity. That's why people like you become UK citizen and run to tweeter to say God bless the Queen. lol. The same Queen that disrupt the progress of your society. Keep it up. No matter how much you try you can never be one of them. Be proud of where you are from and respect it! That's the only way you will be respected. #My2cents. standfit007: 1 Like |

Baba check a trail before responding/commenting next time. We are talking about nations that have provided basic amenities to her citizens (as a starter to other opportunities to achieve dreams) and have kept a standard of life, not about “identity and culture”. Marjoribanks: |

This is the issue of the day at Naija today. It is really really sad. Citizens just want opportunities to lead a decent life and contribute to the country wellbeing. Bro, have you considered learning a skill in your line of study or something completely different that is “sellable” and sustainable (you should think about this too)? Just having a degree doesn’t cut it today o esp if it is not a professional degree that gets good on the table for you immediately after graduation. How about your CV, what does it look like? How many laser targeted job applications do you do per week? Reach out o…,send cold emails and connect with many people as possible offline and online. Don’t be quiet Come see the real issue here not about “identity and culture” you are “chasing” me around with o @RodgersAkpafu and @Marjoribanks Villa12: |

Love800:You should be below 30 to stand greater chance. Have Bsc or better masters which will give you more points. Pass IELTS English test with at least an overall band score of 7.5 or 8.0. Your course of study should be in the field of: Mechanical, Electrical, Civil engineering, Accounting, Nursing, Pharmacy, etc that is on the sectors they need skilled labors to fill. With this you should be able to enter the express entry pool and will be invited to apply for a PR |

standfit007:I was learning video editing and graphics design with my phone. I do not have a laptop but i was a victim of robbery. My phone and little money was taken away. I am currently using a botton java phone. I do apply for jobs before my phone was stolen. I have been using a friend's phone recently to apply, Most organization do conduct physical interview which i somewhat find it difficult to meet up with due to high cost of transportation. Only few conduct virtual interview. I understand there's no excuse for failure in life, but it's not easy truly for some of us in Nigeria. |

Panda7: I do not usually do this, but to answer your question, two of those people are my superior in one of my former job. The first was the country director and he earn 2.8m the second is serves as the head of testing and marketing he earn 1.4m you may want to ask how i get to know these info as most company will not release such, I do because i work with them as a freelance accountant, I calculate and remit their PAYE to Kano state Internal revenue service (those guys too could not believe their eyes that that much tax is coming in on a monthly basis). And your assumption that you can not dictate what you want for a potential employer, pls do away with that mindset. You as the employee have all the right to let the employer know your worth, It is left for them to accept your terms or reject. Honestly at first I also have that mindset but later changed and always stand firm whenever I am in negotiation. Though I lost many opportunities because of my stance most of the time but anytime i got a call back I always feel appretiated. |
