Good day bro.. Please I will like to get some info about limerick, how can I contact you? Thanks

So you mean I am lying that people are being paid 350 euro. Why don't you just show us that you are educated by Googling how much the government is paying residents in Ireland and those who are qualified for it. This one is not a matter of long talk. Many Nigerian students working part-time got their money yesterday and I shared a screenshot. The payment is available for anyone who is above 18 years and whose job was affected by the pandemic. Just try to do some research online to see for yourself.

You can also google the average price of a double bedroom in Limerick. I don't live in the remote part, I stay in Castletroy area very close to the UL campus. I am not sharing room with anyone. There are even rooms with lesser price sef but guess you know nothing.

Ignorant people everywhere displaying their folly online. You really know nothing. Use your data to research online and not watch porn. If after all this evidences I will post below and you are still doubting, then you know your village people have finally won.

ignore him he’s up to no good he wants people to contact him for visa so he can guy them.. we are here anyway.. I will never understand the rationale behind his lies.. they are paying 350 yes but it’s for specific people.. employees and employers to cushion the effect.. it’s not for everybody and the rent he spoke of it’s a lie from the pit of hell.. anyway limerick it’s a rather small city perhaps it’s a very very remote part and sharing with roommates..or a Nigerian rented him a council room..

Local man had to go for shopping today. Had to restock my groceries. Social distancing is very well observed in all the supermarkets and shops as measures have been set in place to fight the virus. Some shops only allow one customer at a time to enter. I spent about 32 euro on my shopping today and hope the foodstuff will last me for a while.

My experience in Ireland so far has been trailed with mixed feelings due to the coronavirus. The country is experiencing its worst ever pandemic - with nearly 3000 confirmed cases of the virus and 54 deaths recorded. The government has ordered a lockdown for some months to curb the spread and minimize the effect of the virus in the European country.

The nationwide lockdown has left the country’s public spaces hushed and deserted amid overwhelming public support for extreme measures to control the pandemic. Dublin city and other usually bustling urban centres are now like ghost towns..

In my area in Limerick city, the vast majority of the population appear to be following appeals to stay at home except to buy food, care for vulnerable people, do work deemed essential or briefly exercise.

The government has taken a very good measure to cushion the effect of the pandemic on its residents. Residents whose jobs and businesses closed due to coronavirus are being paid 350 euro PER WEEK. Those enjoying this benefit include Nigerians and other nationalities (both students and workers) who are living in the country. Many Nigerians received their alerts today being Tuesday and were greatly overjoyed.. People are being paid to stay at home and be safe. The payment will go on for 12 weeks...that's 3 months. Just chill at home and get paid.

€350 X N420 (about N147,000) per week.
€1400 X N420 (about 588,000) per month.

Monthly rent is €325 while €50-€70 (depending on your spending capability) can go for groceries for the month. This only happens in civilized countries where the government take good care of their people.

Noted for reference.

you are a mumu oooo I don’t need google because I’m in Ireland and I insist u are a liar!!!! A fraud and a thief..!!! Now u are saying students working per time ? But why did u post initially as if the government of Ireland was sharing a largesse? And u are sharing a room mr Man .. u are not having the best of times stop faking and living a life of make believe... ok My argument with u isn’t personal make no mistake.. but I won’t allow u mislead the public...ofcourse Ireland is better than Nigeria in all ramifications but using lies to prove it is wrong.. use facts!

Perhaps u can also be nice enough to share some facts about the housing crisis in Ireland and how Irish citizens are being killed on the streets daily because they are rough sleepers(homeless) instead of telling people how they can live so cheap even on government..

It is impossible for a nation to grow when her citizens are wayward. And, if growth is forced on such nation, it quickly turns into disasters just as no amount of perfume can save a dead body from decaying.

People don't realize that leaders can only be responsible when the masses are responsible, and that corruption in leadership has its roots in the corrupt nature of the masses.

Where do we get our leaders if not from among the masses. The corrupt Civil and public servants; are they not from among people?
Were they currupted by their duties or their duties exposed the corruption in them? Can we boast of 0.5% (of our population) who are selfless and humane?

We are quick to compare and blame as if nations don't have stories.

We curse and condemn the same soil that nourishes our flesh just because we aren't like other nations with plenty toys for her citizens.

We neglect our basic duties as an organic member of this nation in order to shift blames; a trait we inherited unknowingly (both) from educated and uneducated fools.

We are quick to cover up our irresponsibilities (as you mentioned above) by pointing fingers and making irrelevant references.

Until we change our mentality, our situation will remain the same even if our roads are plastered with gold.

Well, I've always maintained that it's a theory (i.e. a plausible explanation, with some observable evidence to back it up, though it's not a universally-accepted fact) - and have been aware of some of the arguments for and against it. For instance, the entropy criticism is quite the paradox isn't it: if nature tends towards entropy, why are there stars (which is essentially matter gathering and becoming "more organized" ). The reason: gravity, an incredible force that acts over infinite distance, and like electromagnetism, travels at the speed of light (we used to think gravity was instantaneous, but it was theorized it wasn't, and now there are experiments that suggest it travels through space before its effect is felt, like electromagnetism.

Good discussions mate... thanks for remaining civil wink
