Give me one reason why Nigerian politicians and elite refuse to give birth to their children in Nigeria.

Maybe with this order they will quit being greedy and begin to fix the dilapidated healthcare system in Nigeria or they will find another safe haven that offers citizenship by birth.

that Trump speech didn't tickle your fancy? Let me see morose Kamala speaking that convincingly and eloquently for one hour at 78....Girl can't even do it now in her 60's. Haha

There are 2 gender male and female. Prove me wrong

'Poor and lowly people from poor and lowly nations'. We can also add 'brown and black nations'

The words some of us use to describe ourselves ehn...
Is American citizenship only for 'rich and highly' prople?
Why was citizenship by birth introduced in the first place?


If a racist out there calls us subhumans, many will repeat same. We can argue for or against policies without denigrating ourselves.

lavida001:
This our fight na till eternity 🤣

missjekyll:
Prove you wrong? Why in the world would I do that?

The only thing that matters is the law. And the law recognises that there are other genders. This argument has been had and settled.

I am not having it again with you

But that will hit us squarely. These were programs designed to help us. To start righting centuries old wrongs which are still impacting people today.

Now this manbaby who was born into wealth, given everything by his father has taken that away.

You know he is an anchor baby. His mother was fresh off the boat from Scotland. His current wife has brought her entire family over.

From the way he talks you would be forgiven for thinking he came over on the bleeding Mayflower.

I always laugh when I see folks from ethnic minority backgrounds speaking against DEI. Since yesterday I've been seeing some of Trump's supporters trying to cherry-pick his policies and I am saying are you kidding me? Dude is an entire package you have to accept wholly, no cherry-picking. You collect wetin you see. The consolation however is that it's just 4 years and all the madness will be over and folks can at least start all over again.

Goke7:
we have said here and over again that Nigeria and Africans are never and will never be the highest beneficiaries of immigration all over the world, the Latinos are the greatest beneficiaries of birth citizenship in America so bro always cool down with this rhetoric cos it does not add up. Africans are still the ones staying put in their continent compared to others. Even in Canada, no African country is even in the top 5 of asylum seekers or any immigration route there.

lavida001:
You see how you shift the goal post and refuse to talk about fixing our healthcare system. Hand go touch everybody.

Mid term election may stop the madness if democrats regain both houses

These are ordinary Nigerians https://www.nairaland.com/4250945/give-birth-usa-cost-procedures paying out of pocket to give birth in USA, politicians and elite have the right to do whatever they want with their money, the same way you decided to pay thousands of £££ to come to the UK to study rather than spending a fraction of that money to study in Nigeria

Goodenoch:
2nd amendment - “constitution is inviolable and must be interpreted literally at all times”.

14th amendment - “actually you know what? We are just going to reinterpret the constitution here”.

What should be clear to everyone is that all the talk about constitutionalism, economy etc. are all thin veneers over the actual things bothering MAGA and their counterparts in other countries.

One can take any view as to those concerns but the key thing for immigrants to be aware of is how things might play out going forward (flare-ups of mass hysteria about the economy can be very different from mass hysteria about ethnicity).

In short, plan your lives accordingly to secure yourself and your interests just as transactionally as the country is doing with you.

United States wouldn’t be so enticing if the foundational fathers refuse to make it attractive. Would it ?

And what ordinary Nigerian are spending their entire savings to give birth overseas?

To be clear, I didn’t come here to study I was born here

As the main applicant on a student visa, can I join my wife to apply for tier 2 visa if she happens to be given cos from her job?

Or we should just go ahead and apply for the PSW visa ?

lavida001:
Hello Comrades my wife has her maiden name on her passport and not my surname because I’m the main applicant . Will that affect our visa application outcome/processes? Kindly respond

People like you and your leftist ecosystem are the ones responsible for Trump's comeback. You guys brought Trump back to power and are responsible for the rise in far right lunatics across the western world.
I don't know what you people want to gain by turning society upside down. Name other genders make we see.
You guys have forced normal people to close their eyes and nose to vote for him cos they couldn't stand these nonsense you people are promoting.
It looks like the Left hasn't learnt their lessons in Trump's win. Too bad

Couldn't agree more.

This is going to be an interesting time but people in the UK will not worry much...the universal credit is there to sort things out

Globalshaper:
Please experienced medical people in the house; @jedisco etc, I have a quick question and your insights would be appreciated.

For a person who already works as a band 3 Clinical Support Worker in the nursing department;
between pursuing a higher role in the nursing department (band 5) or switching to a biomedical scientist conversion path (band 5) using a relevant BSc course, which do you think is MORE EASIER TO ACHIEVE within 6-12 months.

Note: Ultimate aim is to leverage these roles to more leadership higher band roles and not necessarily remain a nurse or biomedical scientist for too long.

Why won’t they want to call you subhumans. I mean look at your continent and your rulers.

Chinese command respect oversea because of how their government capabilities.

The UK: a rudderless island finally tipping into oblivion

Donald Trump only took oath of office Monday (Jan 20th) and has just today (Jan 21st) announced an investment deal worth $500 billion into AI infrastructure. The deal involves an initial $100 billion with additional $400 billion coming in over 4 years.

I have said it and will say it – you get results ONLY when people that have defined metrics for results are in charge. If there is anything I have noticed from my years of observation of civil servants, it is that lawyers and doctors within their ranks are the worst administrators – they lack the mental capacity to manage complex systems. You only get a difference if they have run private practices.

No noise, no drama, no media blitz and $500 billion is pouring into the US over 4 years. Compare and contrast that with the contested £63 billion the UK claims to have raised in their so-called investment summit. Lord! Lord! Lord!

Think of all the startups that will be funded across the US (hello Silicon Valley). Think of how this and more will uplift living standards across the US. Already, Mississippi, the poorest state in the US by GDP/capita has a higher value than the UK. Very soon, it will be competing with London!

Rachel from accounting is somewhere in Davos trying to sell the UK as an investment hub based on a survey by pWC while men wey mount dey announce multibillion dollars investment into the US economy. Who survey help? $500 billion and no noise. $500 billion and no survey? $500 billion 1 day into a 4-year tenure? SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, Oracle’s Larry Ellison and OpenAI’s Sam Altman were there at the WH to join DJT in making this announcement.

Quoting directly from FT - SoftBank has ultimate financial responsibility for the new company, with OpenAI taking operational responsibility. Son will chair the joint venture. Abu Dhabi state AI fund MGX and Oracle are also providing funding for the project, while SoftBank-owned Arm, Microsoft and Nvidia are technology partners. Stargate aims to boost capacity to train and run new AI models. It will initially build a data centre project in Abilene, Texas — construction of which is already under way, according to the companies — before expanding into other states.

I will reiterate again, any Nigerian youth that is unable to find themselves in the top 20 cities across the US, China, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE in the next 24 months might struggle to offer significant benefits to humanity. My rephrasing means even the UK (London) and Europe are irrelevant.

We are in very strange times with happenings that will shock and awe watchers. The UK and Europe will see themselves ease into irrelevance without DJT stressing himself. We can shout, condemn and talk high and low – at the end of the day what matters to residents across the US is improvement in their standard of living and DJT is gunning for that.

Now think of what DJT’s threats of tariff will do in terms of inward investments in manufacturing. Think of production sites that will open. Think of quality jobs that will be created. Think of the massive growth that will be witnessed across the US. Folks, this is the news that drives the tailwind boost you see in the US stock market. Think of all the unnecessary bureaucracy that will be removed from crypto to finance to insurance to healthcare to self-driving cars to AI etc. This is the ecosystem that supports entrepreneurship and risk. Risk is back baby. Risk is back. Now watch as US begins again to crowd out everyone from VC funds. Think of IPOs that will soon start birthing to enable VCs exit.

Me, my business is how to cash out. How to cash out from the wealth that Trump’s presidency brings is my cup of tea. I’m not going to argue about his policies because compared to Biden, his is working and bringing in the greens from day 1.

Strange times indeed. May it favour us all. Ise!

Treadway:
me laidis, first step is to sink my money into the US stock market, while I figure out how else I can eat from the prosperity wey dey come, from right here in naija.

All eyes will see what will happen in this next 4 years. Just like the election results, it will be momentous and undisputable. My prediction is he likely will cement his legacy as the best president the US has ever had...and this time Obama won't have any ground to claim Trump inherited anything from him. We all know what ground zero in 2024 looked like, now just watch.😁

Biden has handed over a smashing economy by any measure.

https://www.commerce.gov/news/blog/2024/11/commerce-data-show-strong-economic-gains-due-americans-making-and-spending-more

Trump will make changes to benefit just the billionaires .
Last I checked ,that wasn't you.

Biden however failed woefully to combat wealth inequality . He also failed catastrophically by not punishing the Felon in Chief.
That will be his legacy. It's not a good one

NB: Buy some trump coin . #sarcasm.

Alot has been said about AI and how it'd render many jobless. I absolutely agree its revolutionary however history has shown us we tend to overestimate the impact of a new tech advancement in the short-term (leading to market frenzies) but underestimate its longterm effects. Same story led to the internet boom of 2000. Many people made postulations in 1998 of how the internet wuld render postal workers useless e.t.c. While certain changes took place, we still have postmen today. Very few would have envisaged how large Internet based companies would grow, or jobs and future tech they'd create and even AI we have tethered to it today. Another good example is electricity, the printing press even crypt0 - brilliant tech, early hype but still yet to find a widely accepted everyday use case (yes, I'm 'invested')


I work with lots of AI models and have found them to be mind-blowing at times. Healthcare is heavily targeted with AI as funding is government backed, services need to cater to millions and our systems move slowly. So as a tech coy, once you get some buy-in you're almost sure you have lifetime customers. I use an AI scribe that helps write up my notes, write referrals e.t.c. Its good- can it replace a practice secretary? Not yet but time would tell. Some have said it might replace healthcare professionals- again, time would tell. I have recently used AI to analyse a 30 page contract I'm previewing. The intriguing thing about AI is that the version used today is likely to be the least advanced version one would ever use. All said, I think it'd be a feature to enable us improve productivity as a stop gap for our declining demography. Only downside, is that it can't consume- it may need electricity and a few chips but its not getting groceries, eating out, going to dinner e.t.c. It can't produce the demand capitalism feeds off.


With AI, I'm taking it a step at a time, avoiding the excess hype but being abrest with it.
