Shanu's yahoo operations were traced to his binance account and a Lagos address by the US Secret Service and he is to be extradited to the US to face charges, however he was arrested in England. I wonder if he had moved to the UK.

Anyways he's about to be based in the US for a long time.

Some people still believe using cryptocurrency, is completely anonymous...... Hence they can NEVER be traced........

If shanu wants a lighter sentence, he better return the $2.6 million (he hide away).......

Wow!
Too late for me I guess. Looking at the process, time, and most especially cost, I will focus my hustle on Trainee roles that will accept my BSc and MBA from 9ja! I've spent a lot money and time on professional qualifications for the purpose of career switch. I thought I could use apprenticeship route with my WASSCE
Thank you for the advice!

College...... Enrol for an access course at a college and watch apprenticeship doors open....... 🔓🎓

You should have enrolled for an access course at YR2, on your YR 3...... You would be ripe for the apprenticeship sector......... Better late, than never......

This just concluded local elections hurts Labour as much as it did the Tories….. More independent candidates won seats from Labour stronghold, while Labour took sweet from Tories . In the voice of George Galloway MP. Labour and Tories are 2 ass cheeks of the same backside”…

If you have a BSc and MBA you can explore masters degree (Level 7) apprenticeships.

On the whole though, if you're not on an employment-linked visa I think getting entry level roles in your desired field is the approach with the highest potential. With your academic background plus the experience, you should be able to job-hop into increasingly senior roles, especially if your BSc and MBA are (or can be linked) to the current career.

Despite what some might think looking around their neighbourhood, work or places like this forum, white people are by far the largest ethnic group in the UK (sometimes the silent majority) with 82% - over 48.7 million at the last census in 2021.

Asians (not just Indians) make up about 5.5 million (7%) , so as you've said the data might show that a higher proportion of Indian households own their own homes, but in absolute terms, the white Brits are over and beyond the largest home owner group.

Agreed, yet it’s still quite an alarming figure for a white-owned country. Recently, I read an article that spoke about Leicester having no majority ethnic group. 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/leicester-uk-city-no-ethnic-group-majority-census-b2235630.html

So the actual figures outside of what was quoted by these statistics might be closer than you think.
 
Look at who owns the corner stores around you and some of your colleagues; there’s always an Indian or Pakistani in the mix.

Interesting.

However, Indians don't own more homes than Brits. What you see here are not absolute figures. The 68% Brits in absolute figures might be 10x the absolute figures of the 74% Indians.

Gerrard59:
A major reason is that the West is led by an Anglophone United States and both India and Nigeria are part of the Anglophone world. It would be hard to keep educated Nigerians at home or even attract those who have lived there for a long time to return to Nigeria. However, that happened under OBJ, Yar'Adua and GEJ's tenures - many Nigerians in the diaspora returned, took up jobs and started businesses. Then in 2015, they paired with other Nigerians to campaign and vote for Buhari because he promised to phight kwarruption. Another reason the Chinese returned is that it (China) is disproportionately Han Chinese - home of the Chinese people. The ties are priceless. People feel at home in a place where the government - Han Chinese - represents their interests. So, it is easy to convince them to return home unlike Nigerians.

I have seen you write about dominance of one tribe as necessary for national growth peacefully.
Are we not dominated by the Hausa-Fulani and yet we are so backward

They should make him return the money and still give him a stiff sentence. Preying on young people, some of whom have taken their lives in these scams, is despicable.

sorry, just went back to re-check his post, and saw that he didn't put that there. So I will rightly help him upgrade/flesh up that concept.

The quality of the dominant group matters o. As you have rightly identified, as in the case of Nigeria, when the dominant group is still largely archaic, then we have what we have. Which is one of the reasons why we wonder how we keep getting the worst of us in the so-called democracy. It is cos the numbers of those who DONT have any semblance of sense far outstrips the number of those who do.

The dominant racial group we have is plagued with willful poverty and a gross aversion to education, and thus an aversion to a progressive existence....and that is one of the prime reasons we are where we are today. They know this and carry the badge of their huge numbers with pride.... unfortunately doing so ninu oshi at ise (lack and despondency), and dragging the rest of the country into the abyss.

Democracy is actually not just govt of the people as we tend to chorus, but in reality govt of the majority of the people....now when the quality of that majority is shit, then you are doomed. Will our dominant block somehow in no time become wiser, more enlightened, more educated? your guess is as good as mine.

Maybe in 300 years

Alarming for who though? If anyone should be alarmed, perhaps black Africans who have one of the lowest proportional home ownership of any ethnic group. However I don't think there's cause for alarm. With hard work, good business sense and better community cohesion, I'm sure these figures will rise.

The ethnic concentration in places like Luton, Leicester, Bradford, Birmingham, Croydon is what people erroneously extrapolate to a national picture. Meanwhile there are many parts of the country where you could count the black and brown faces. The census figures don't lie. Yes, Asians as a whole are the biggest ethnic group after the whites but white Brits still dominate by far.

Asians are not a monolith - when you break down the Asian population into their respective (sometimes rival) groups e.g.Indians, Pakistani, Hindu, Suellas lol, Muslims, Sikhs etc you'll see that their numbers are even smaller compared to the white Brits.

by a dysfunctional democracy..i spelt that out, how did you not see that?

You used Nigeria as an example, and rightly so. Our dominant group are archaic, and so thanks to democracy which is a game of numbers we largely remain archaic, cos unlike I who is exposed and educated and have two children, they at 15/16 years old probably already have more children than I do, and has been so for as long as I can remember. Southern Nigeria isn't the bloc fuelling the population explosion over the last 30 years, northern Nigeria is.

My parent's generation, average number of children born no fit pass 3. Our generation, pretty sure the average is 1

That's how

Are we not dominated by the Hausa-Fulani and yet we are so backward

There are certain traits an ethnic or racial group or culture should espouse for economic development to thrive seamlessly. Some of which are:
- Pragmatism, not dogmatism
- Right to inquiry
- Right to criticise and to be criticised
- Protection of private property
- Support for free enterprise
- Personal freedoms in most aspects of human existence.
- The right to choose

Between the Han Chinese and Hausa-Fulani, which group supports/espouses/promotes/practices at least four of those factors?

If non Hausa-Fulani groups are BETTER quality than the Hausa-Fulanis, why have they not come together to make the democracy work in their favour to dominate? Did something like that not happen in 2011 presidential election?

Are there not 17/36 % senators and representatives from the south with 6/36 % from the Middle Belt and a few significant minorities in the NE and NW who can have an absolue 2/3rd majority for amending/changing laws and the constitution

The Hausa-Fulani MAY (but certainly the core Fulanis are) actually be less than Yorubas and Igbos but have ROPED in the northern minorities to create the illusion of greater numbers.

My point remains that the Hausa-Fulanis have BETTER quality than we noisemakers in the south. Much better quality to dominate us.

brozay, this one no enter

The Hausa Fulani practices right to inquiry (the things they inquire about fit just dey worrthless and disappointing), they enjoy personal freedoms (too much freedom even, they get away with things we won't dare do in the south), the right to choose (they enjoy and brag about this one sef, even though no be sensible choices), right to criticize (they can even burn you or slit your throat with no consequence in broad daylight if you be Christian, elite or not).

They enjoy these rights, but are too dumb to use it in any way that is empowering, even to them. Do they criticize their leaders who pauperize them? No, not cos they can't, but they don't even have the sense or will to, but sprinkle a little religion and see that they know damn well how to exercise these rights.

If they practice or support at least half of those factors, how come Southern Nigeria is more prosperous than Northern Nigeria? Groups who practice those factors become prosperous over time. Something must be amiss somewhere.

I will say this once and very bluntly.

When election comes there is almost always a united Northern Nigeria! Sprinkle of religion, remember?

When election comes there is almost always never a united southern Nigeria.

EOD

Fact remains bloc by bloc, the Hausa Fulani have the highest numbers as a standalone bloc, more than Yoruba or Igbo. When will Yoruba and Igbo and other southerner unite to be formidable, like you have opined in your earlier calculation, me i no know.

Bear in mind, the last population census took place even before I went for youth service in the north in 2010. Everything since then has been estimated.

I can say it with my full chest that even the percentages of the Hausa-Fulani bloc alone has increased exponentially. These guys are the ones fuelling the population explosion. How many children Yoruba or Igbo don born since last census? Fulani alone go don quintuple the number, and all those babies that disease, insurgency and hunger did not kill since the last census in 2006, likely were all of legal voting age in 2023 election, won't even talk of the illegals.

That is why I feel no pity for the travails of northern Nigeria as a whole. Cos it is deliberate, self-motivated, and self-inflicted. They have only one strategy, strength and pride: their numbers!

How do you resolve this inconsistency

Are you alien to Nigerian history at least since independence? Didn't you see what happened in the last election? How do you check that?

The inconsistency is unresolveable, which has given rise to some regions (or a region) desiring to break away due to the gross retarded growth and backwardness occasioned by federal character principle otherwise known as "quota system". What we have now is even worse than the quota system!!!

Please Help!

I'm seeking advice on securing an apprenticeship in the UK. Having spent three years here, I'm now eligible for such roles and have been actively applying. However, I've faced rejections, possibly due to using my WASSCE as an equivalent for the required GCSE and A levels.
I'd appreciate guidance from someone who has successfully secured an apprenticeship role on how to improve my chances.

Thank you!

It's not just 3 years residency, other requirements potentially apply depending on the provider. For most apprenticeships, you'll also need ILR. It's best to call the provider and chat through your situation before applying .
Also consider applying outside of the South East and the major employment hubs ie Bham, Manchester, Liverpool as you'll be facing stiff competition.
