Construction is the last job I'm gonna shift to, that's what I mean. I can do Security and sit in front of cameras, kitchen porter, warehouse, care and others. Given the reputation it has in Nigeria, and how I'll be one with nature by having sand all over me and all.....for you, you wont start from the scratch, me that I'm not an engineer, you'll command me to change my style in the sand.

I really dont know much about the construction industry, a good guide is to go on LinkedIn, find Nigerians in construction there, buzz them and ....
Or you can read about what is expected of a project engineer.
� that part about commanding you got me cracking. Thanks man.

Well, you can get it easily in Nigeria if you go to those nursing schools that are approved and certified.
That was what they kept asking me, if I had ANY qualifications. Coming from the Realm of Numbers, I had to start from the scratch. I even met a Nigerian man, who has spent 22years here. He also came for the training. He was fairly comfortable, with family and His JEEP grin

A friend of mine studied Sociology, she also qualified, she was sent an online assessment to see if she remembered those health codes. She did it once, passed and that was it.

As I was going for my training last Thursday, It was 30 min away, I packaged myself, picked up my briefcase as I had documents to submit, I didnt feel like cycling. Plus the terrain was sloppy, not soapy.
So I embarked on the journey with my Legediz Benz. I would have taken the bus, but the route as you'll find out later isnt bus friendly. Based on the map estimates, if I take the bus, I'll walk 10min to It, it will take me round and I'll still another 8min. It was an office estate.
That's how it is here, Office estates is like a huge closed compound where offices are located. Instead of building and designing your office building, you go to the office estate. They call it Business Park. It can consist of like 50 buildings, at most three stores. Ireland dont like skyscrapers, they feel that until Technology can find a way to take care of fire problems in the skyscrapers, theres no way the city will invest in it.
The highest you'll see here is 9. That one eh.....
It will have lots of infrastructure and others codes in place that will make it complex for the engineers to handle.
In a 30 storey skyscraper, if fire is to happen in the fifteenth floor, how will the hundreds of staff above the 15th floor come down, will they Jump down.
They also think that skyscrapers are Soulless, with the glass exterior, it looks bland. No intricate design that comes from the depth of human creativity.
That's why most Part of Europe still maintain that look.
I saw a shot of Dublin about a hundred years ago, if I tell you there was no much difference apart from traffic light, caneras and others.

I hung my Sony headset, and started with the map as my guide. 20min into the journey, the map told me to turn left, han han, I waa wondering, where exactly, it happened that theres a short path with the way the grass showed traces human movements.
The google map shouldn't land me somewhere I dont know o.
As I was walking, the path hasnt been of much use, I guess it's the lockdown, or the fact that people troll there during the summer, winter just came n left.
I had to look back to see if I was safe until I got to the mouth of a cave, I've seen this alot in UK movies, we call it Underbridge, it's a place homeless people take shelter from the rain and sun in Lagos, even those who hawk also.
This particular cave was kinda scary, it was my first time, what if I was ambushed, I shook that thought knowing that I'm no longer in Lagos, the irish government looks after me better than my fathers land. They've ensured that I never starve to death, and that health wise, I'll be taken care of.
With that thought, I charged into the cave and something struck me. It was filled with Graffiti.

I didnt have the time to snap away, the pictures shows I was walking n snapping away. Coming back, the Nigerian man gave me a ride back home, That's something an Irish, generally people in developed countries dont do. I didnt ask for it, I get pride o.

There are a lot of Polish guys in Dublin. I understand many of them are troublesome.

There is nothing to be shy about when walking the streets. Everyone minds their businesses.

I have read lots of amazing stories and experiences from the adventures of Nigerians in various part of the world. I usually feel somehow writing mine but decided I have to do it because it achieves various purposes like it makes Nigerians get a grip of the country and realities in the country. In my school, DBS, when you're inside, you'll think you're in India. Due to the fact that they spread the news about potential countries that is suitabe for migration, clear the path for those coming by suggesting suitable courses so they can easily get job. There's a reason the indians are dominating the workplace in Canada.

In my class, we're just three Nigerians, thirty Indians in a course that has potential. You need to see how these guys cooperate, I get overwhelmed.
The Nigerians in my class, I tried to be open to them, I got so irritated by their response that I feel so great when I heard school has been locked down by the virus.
When it got to Group assignment, they lumped me and them in one group. The only indian in my group ran away to another group of Indians.
The reality in my class is just how Nigeria is. We need to cooperate more and help others. In my workplace, two Nigerian guys are there, igbos like me, den do anyhow, I left them and na one Kenya guy wey don stay for this country show me the way. The other Africans in the place don sabi say you need to watch one another back and cooperate.
The goal of this thread is to simply draw your attention and FOCUS to Ireland. Leave US, dont apply to that country directly, even Canada sef, Start looking at Europe, it's easier to enter here than those countries.
From Europe you can branch to any country of your choosing.
If you can learn the German language, Germany is a great country. The indians don dey rush PhD there. You do a research one and get €1000 monthly plus free tuition. Indians will see this kind opportunity and broadcast it to their people. We will see such and only tell immediate family members.

Blacks are so few here. The indians are Many, you wont know because their skin is light, they have straight hair and they simply blend in. I have to look at them closely or from the garlic spice, I instantly know they're the one.
The more of our people we have here, the better for us, that's what people dont know. The reason you enjoy interacting easily with Americans socially is the work of our Brothers. Over the years, they've had various blend of the black race generation by generation.
The Irish community are not used to us. Den no born you well to apply for governorship post or marry their woman. That one na another matter, it's best to avoid them.

I've said so much. All those Agencies that will be posting Canada 2020, USA visa!!!!!! Up and down, RUN

You'll carry refusal letter like Trophy.
Average Nigerians here in this country, den don carry at least one Denied from either Canada or USA.
It's like the period when the Unilag craze was there, secondary teachers caused this, they made people feel like Life will end if you dont go to unilag. I knew someone applied seven times, that's seven years gone!

Its about the course you read and the grade, Not the school.
You're better off studying in the North, lower cost of living, less strike, then you come out, apply abroad, life continues.

When I was applying, I was almost pushed to start chasing big school where I will pay huge school fees and go broke. I knew a friend that was chasing big name, he was denied admission due to the fact that the school is competitive. But sense came o, let's leave ratings alone, as long as the school and the course is accredited. Study ya thing and come out. It's only Havard and oxford, if you get the grade and you know that the way is clear, you can push it if you're an Einstein. Not being an einstein like me, doesnt mean you're a failure.

Lemme drop my pen here.
Please I will like to ask questions from anyone that got refusal from Ireland or any European countries and got a tuition refund into their account.

Superb and addictive thread. I'm soaked up in enlightenment.
Chiggsglover, nice job you're doing here, it's not easy dishing it out raw like you're doing. Some just hoard information unnecessarily. You've been mature and composed in answering questions, well done.I wish I could give each of your post a thousand likes.
You and other contributors are doing well.

Hadampson suppose be Nigerian ambassador to so many countries ooo. He's good and he keeps improving. I seriously want you to fulfill your dreams of moving out. Be like this country don overcast. May we leave this place and see other countries where sanity is prioritised and don't have to worry about certain things.

The Ireland travel thread can be consulted for certain questions, OP has really tried and it's not good taking advantage of his nice demeanor about certain stuff. It's good to make research/dig further. This enables you break things down like he's doing.

Thanks Chiggsglover, your thread is a masterpiece!
God bless you and your adventures.
