Nice post op
I will like ask, I am a graduate of Industrial Chemistry and I will like to enroll for masters at Ireland

1. how lucrative is the course at Ireland
2. can I get a PR after my studies because I am planning of coming back �
3. what is the likelihood of getting a scholarship to make things less expensive ( I graduated with 2.1, a 4-pointer)

Thank you
I really do not know much about your field, you can direct your questions to the Irish visa thread, experienced folks will guide you.
Scholarships aren't much in Ireland comparing it to the US and UK, the fees are cheaper and study length isnt long, the school you apply to are the ones that give scholarship. Most of them award slash based on your result with first class receiving more.
Cheers

I thought my own was bad luck, after the first one was stolen, i bought another one. I went on aliexpress and bought a carrier so I can secure my bag there. That day I mounted it, and I took it to school, It was gone!!!!!!!! It was as if I was in a Dream. I dont want to feel that way again. The way I was staring eh. Lol
These two bikes were stolen in January. I didnt talk about the second one out of Shame lol.
As your own was stolen in one week, my own better, two of mine was cleared within a month.

If I want to cycle, I'll save up and get a quality electric bike that i will take to just my workplace where I know I can securely lock it. You can get great electric bikes for €2000.

If I want to go anywhere, an electric scooter will be best, but I will have to be taking it to class, anywhere I go!!!!
Which may be stressful. You also need to buy a quality one so the battery wont run low that it will be like those Laptop they call television. The whole scooter is gone once the battery is weak. Unless it can be replaced.

For now, I'll just stand outside and hail the Prestigious Doubledecked Dublin Bus to swing by and lower itself so I can walk in conveniently, flash my leap card and zoooooooooommmmmmm.

Second hand cars are quite cheap abroad but the problem is getting a licence. In the UK, you can get a good second hand car as cheap as £500-£700.

You're welcome oooo, just direct the attention of those that want to go to Canada or USA, give them the option to weigh the benefits. Crime rate apart from bike theft is low. The little that is happening is due to the bad eggs from other countries that drink alot. Safety is a huge plus here.

Wetin we go call this one now?
Is it the white men ?

African own is food inside calabash, as if the gods are hungry. Maybe they're meant for the mad people and homeless people on the road. Even the mad man sef has the sense to cross road properly and skillfully. Have you ever seen a vehicle in Lagos knock down mad men?

I can remember in Lagos then, those Corp members from other regions, having heard about the Greatness of Lasgidi, some of them get scammed, part their legs for the military men hoping to get redeployed to lagos. Most of them get disappointed on the last day of camp.
Will you fight a military man.
A friend of mine paid three different people, two were scammers. The last one clicked and she went to lagos. Based on how she described it, she crosses the road like shes a thief. This is someone that has lived her entire life in the gentle part of Akure.If youre not sharp enough you get knocked down. Lagos traffic kills visitors alot. good thing is that one secures connection and all during your service year that will land them a great job.
Now you can imagine how a mad man will evade the traffic and a graduate cant, quite funny tho. We can then say that the mad man is more experienced than the graduate.

One thing that baffles me here is that, once your television has a fault and its beyond the warranty window, the TV no matter how minor the fault is going to the Bin. I have come across various items that are in full working condition that are thrown away, just because its obsolete, newer ones are out, the owners do away with them by donating them to charity shops that accepts electronics or straight in the bin outside.
Repair shops are very scarce, the manufacturer shops might charge you almost the cost of the item to fix it for you that's why they won't fix them.
The only item that have a repair shop which isnt very cheap is Phones. Every other items with a fault get thrown in the bin. Unless if the owner can fix it.
Before you can handle electronics to repair, you must have a certification.

We dont see food inside plate under the trees here, but rather in this land, you see contraptions and Technology under the tree. The only thing that worship them is the rain and the wrath of the Street cleaners.

I posted the picture of the room here, I got a room with a bunk bed, was sharing with someone. Never believe I would ever rent such in my life. That how it is at first.

Clothes!!!!!
Some of us like to go for new or worn clothes, I know Nigerians that will never buy anything used, from television to freezers, to microwave or those gas cookers. Sure I know they have their disadvantages like bedbugs in the used sofa, to getting an infection from using those things, to hidden problems that a car has that made the owner sell them but you should know that buying these items are great for the environment.

You save money and the extra new item that you buy will begin its deterioration to be thrown away. More new items that leaves the shelf, pressure is on the manufacturer to scatter the earth to get the resources to make more. In the end this leads to load and weights of waste that might choke that fish or when the fish eats them, the same fish ends up on our plates.

Theres no shame in buying a used Item. Personally i scour these shops in search of designers like a Prada coat, winter jackets and all. Before these shops put them on display, some of them are in top notch conditions. They may have only been worn once and all. If I could get a designer shoe for €300 and these shops can sell them for €20, I really dont mind.

You know what White people patronize these shops, infact, I volunteer in a shop like this and I can count how many blacks have walked in. I can say that I have never seen a Nigerian, the blacks all have some kind of non Nigerian accents and looks.

I know level must change, instead of buying new ones that will fade, Beware of Penny's. is it not cost-wise to buy quality ones that will last a lifetime. Personally when I was in Nigeria, I buy those clothes like Jean's and all at yaba and mandilas. But in this country, these Charity shops, that's the shop I've been talking about. I don't buy ordinary name, I look out for the big names like Nike, Hilfiger, Prada, Gucci and all in top conditions. I can not come n be shopping for normal clothes, that's my level changing. For now.
These shops have a spot where they keep Designers and all. As usual they attract higher price than other items which is not surprising. They will be displayed in the window display as the highlight.
I was able to buy a Hilfiger Denim jacket and students were looking at me thinking I bought it brand new with the Rip off price tag. The texture and the fit was great. It felt great, now I know why people get crazy about big names, It was my first designers. Forget about those designers we buy in Nigeria that dont last long, my igbo brothers did them. Not Nike or Gucci.

This reminds me of an incident that happened in Nigeria between my Dad and the mechanic that repairs and services my Dads vehicle. The man went to Ladipo in mushin Lga to buy the faulty part, my dad told him to buy the original unless he will loose it and return it. He went, bought it, came back n fixed it, we took the vehicle for evening service as we were coming back, the car developed the same issue and we parked by the roadside. My dad called him to report to the scene of his terrible workmanship. When he came and checked the damage. He immediately screamed and said "Na your brother do am, den don deceive me" my dad asked him which brother, he said our igbo brothers. My dad was weak, he just started laughing.

I even spotted a Nike sneakers, God save it, it was two unit lower than normal measurement.
In europe, we have famous Charity shops, like Oxfam, sightloss and the rest, how these charity organization make money is by selling the donations of people in their own shops to raise money for exploits. When you dont need anything, instead of dumping it in the dustbin, you take it to them, people donate all sorts of things like silverware, plates, clothes, shoes, arts, vintage items, clocks, books, kitchen stuff.
One man even brought SOFA, lol, where are we gonna keep that.
Laters.

Thumbs up bro. Closely following.

Thanks man

That is one unusual dog, took a walk in the park today.
If I see that dog in my dream, I'll plead the blood of jesus. Very unusual, the way it moves with its legs like spider makes it look scary.

I'm an animal lover, I love dogs, I called my mum and did a video call with my dog in Nigeria which I miss so much. The dog just wanted to lick the phone thinking it's my face. It felt great for real, Nigeria parents just dont understand why I would want to interact with a dog via a phone.
The thing with this kind of dog is that they may have been crossed to get this kind of result, extreme cross breeding can bring great result and also terrifying consequences. Those Bulldogs or whatever breed you see with a face that look like Mike Tyson struck them a knockout punch. They're result of such. Such dogs have breathing problems which is a debilitating situation to be in. Can you imagine being tweaked by your creator till you cant take your daily breath in peace. Animal doctors end up euthanizing them.

I came across something that I never believed I will see in a western world. That's the game I see my sisters play with my neighbors when we were younger. It's very common when we go to the village for our December flexing. I was kinda surprised actually. I saw something white adult folks that passed the markings do the dance by walking in the boxes in the number series.
It was fun tho.

This looks like a greyhound, very very fast dogs, highly resourceful also

This is a pure breed, and it has good reputation in sports. I'm wrong about the cross breeding, seeing the dog walk isnt a pretty sight at all. It will look better running for which God created it.
The weather isnt favourable to this dog. It's one of the few dogs that wears jacket especially during the winter.

Lol yes you right about the pure breed, they seem to thrive in hotter climes and can even outrun a Leopard within a short distance.. beautiful, hows the Corona situation over there?

I think the game is called hopscotch. From the name, you can tell it's not only restricted to Nigeria

Thanks for the good work @ Chiggsglover.

My question is this, after getting Ireland PR, what will it take for one to become an Irish citizen and how easy is it?
