is it possible to switch from the sciences to social sciences (preferably economics or a branch of economics)?

Anything is possible here. I know a medical doctor, indian tho, that did a masters in IT and is currently working as an IT manager.

The rule of thumb is science guys can move to commercial but the reverse cant happen.

Chiggsglover:
Thanks man, Ooin.

Well I have been, really really busy.

I started to work with my care agency just last week Friday, my schedule has been disrupted, still have to a balance between work and fun.

I am a fellow who thrives on a regulated schedule because TWENTY FOUR HOURS isnt enough for me even after my NYSC when I had no job, I would always groan about how fast time flies.

Fixed schedule is good to save time, and also fixed meals, fixed wardrobe, thinking about what to wear can be very burdensome. I'm gonna take some time to adjust my dress code and wardrobe about what to wear so I'll always look great with little stress. If you dont take that into consideration, one can wear the wrong colors.

It's going to be a while to get a balance tho. My day starts from 6am, sleep runs away from me, i just put on my favorite show, Culture Express at 6:30. so next thing is to Eat. I go for the breakfast I learnt from Abigails hostel at Aston quay when I first came to this country.
Consisting of toasted break with boiled egg or sardines with plus Mayonnaise, push it down with any juice, orange, or apple or milk. And have a solid like oat or wheat. this can keep me full for a whole day till lunchtime from 3pm to 6pm. Lunch can be anything, this is the only point i think about what to eat, as I have time to plan it.

In this country, Food is very expensive. You can easily spend €30 per meal. So its very common to take food to.your office and microwave. Even the whites do. They take their coolers of food, something my classmates shamed me for when I was in JSS1. How can I be the only one that takes cooler to school. I had to dance to the music then. I'm old now, no one can shame me.
I don't give a damn about people opinions.

Whenever I go to get groceries, I wear my Crocs and walk confidently. Blacks here always put on Sneakers, I cannot kill myself. It's not like I'll be given cash or special attention when I wear sneakers, I cant spend €80 on a shoe and be wearing it up and down. Plus the discomfort

If you go with €5 in any Eatery in Nigeria. you can easily eat to your fill in a good eatery, not Mamaput. Plus the food may not be to your taste since its basically foreign.
When I was working in the warehouse, the cafeteria was very cheap to eat in. I didnt bother to go with my food because I could spend €3 and eat well, €6 for the extras to pamper your palate.

This my new job has really opened my eyes, I'm still shocked about somethings. I won't update you yet till I gather my thoughts. Second day in my job, that was yesterday, one of my clients died, he has been deteriorating within the weak and couldnt sleep. that's the ghastly horror about this job.
He was weak and had lots of spasms. When he did regained himself. He smiled at me with his wrinkled face. In the midst of all the pain, his eyes still had a spark.

This is going to be a mixed feelings post, Congratulations on your new job.
So sorry about the death of one of your client.

My friend, do you know how I've fantasized about being in a car chase in Nigeria. I can try it but holdup won't let me enjoy it. I personally decided not to get a driver's license, though They didn't Caught me . I dont drive around frequently. Even if the police end up catching up to me. Plan B, we know what that is.


This place we have free roads, just like GTA, but there's no way I'll going Scot free, they have proper systems in place for that.

@chiggsglover
I appreciate all you are doing right here to bring the message to people like us with very little or no diaspora knowledge. May God continue to enrich you in all ramifications.
I have some questions to ask.
Thought this may not be the right thread to, but as a brother I think you know how the hustle dey be for Street.
Congrats on you new job.
It's a sure thing I'm there by January or April.

1. I am an Industrial Automations Specialist. I work with a FMCG company here. Is it possible to get a part time job in such field? Though you've given an indirect answer to this, in respect to employment agency over there.

2. My brother graduated from Benin republic (French speaking country). Can he put in for an English course in your school? And did you think he can be given Visa if he claim he's from Benin republic and can't speak English fluently, though a Nigerian. For a Pre-master program that is very cheap.

3. My most important Question.
I know of Canada that give spouse visa for Msc student, does it work with Ireland?


I am awaiting your response as it's about to change many people life around me. [b][/b]

Nice thread Op
I have learnt a lot from this thread �

[b][/b]

Chiggsglover:
To add to what the writer said, you dont deserve people respect, you earn it. How have we gained respect from the way we treat our own.

Think about it,
People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
Do you still judge people for their lifestyle and the way they live, even though its non of your business?

People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
Look at the Prostitute in the street, some you have them as neighbors, tenants, church members.....
I had one as a neighbor in my service year, I treated her like a sister. I never judged her, even though she liked me more than I did, I still gave her respect and turned her down in the way that we're still friends.
You dont know their side stories. Some of them have looked left, right and backward, if they dont do it, theyll starve to death. Some were abused as kids by their father, brother, uncles..... some have looked for hustles and the men denied them that, Hoping to sleep with them when they're frustrated. Where theres no demands there cant be a supply.
The Irish law protects prostitutes, if you and an excort is caught, the Irish government will cover her with a blanket and let her walk away, and theyll drag your ass to jail.



People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
The most important thing is to feed people. FOOD.
Group of boys out of joblessness decided to abandon cultism and rather hustle online and swindle people, scamming isnt good cos I dont feel good when I was scammed. I have lots of such examples around, these young boys comes from poor homes, from what they make, they pay the rent of the house where their family live, subscribe for date, if they can do these, food is nothing.
I know examples of young boys like this who take care of their widowed mothers and help to train the young ones.
Yet we sit and judge them
Yet instead of the government to curb the problem by providing jobs, rather they go after these boys. Those white folks they swindled, they are very perverted. I belong to some dating sites, you need to see the demand of these folks and link, I've heard at least three offer me money for sex, cos of the stereotype on Blacks package. Lots of them go after very small boys, and they have very ridiculous kinks. Whenever youre being swindled, greed plays a big role.

People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
One of the most important thing I discovered when I got here is self-discovery, inorder for you to be comfortable in your skin, you need to adjust to Your own needs, Socrates said MAN KNOW THYSELF.
Ordering everyone to dress in a certain way, keep their hair in a certain way is Pointless, Selfish, Crazy and highly hypocritical. What if that way is wrong, this is how you have doomed a Race.
I can still remember in my church then, after my service year, I was jobless. How you know a Jobless Youth is when they attend All the services, even the Youth and children service, they'll be there. Lol, I wasnt at that level sha, still had alot to do. 24hrs is very small even at that time, not that I was hanging around friends all the time, I had alot of things that kept me really engaged, Shows, books, games, walks with my dog, men chores, and others.
I was at church one time, this man who works in a big company, he knew I was done with school and all. He started poking me about my haircut, what if I was terribly broke to even eat that night. it took alot of self control and resilience to hold my lips tight. He was lucky my parents attend the church. He wont be able to eat well if he knew what was in my mind.
I don't have a job and you dont care, you care about panelbeating into shape when that is not even what I need. Is he that jobless?
One of the most successful group of people are the artist and musician, they're brimming with Individuality. If you live a regimented life and let the Nigerian society continue to shape you, you will never be successful. You need to express yourself and it will affect everything you do in life, your inner confidence will dramatically improve,
Four months before I travelled to Dublin, I visited Nike art gallery at Lekki, by some luck I met the couples. I arrived very early very early. Nike, very busy and nice made me feel welcome even though she knew I wasn't there to buy any of her Arts. Her husband saw and called me, we started to talk, what I thought was 30min, three hours had gone already. The African culture is vibrant and you need to express it wherever you are. She dressee in a queer way that makes her at over 60 feel young and alive and extremely confident. You should check her out online.
Lots of potential artists, models, creative writers are butchered this way just by suppressing their personal looks and fashion, no two human beings are the same. Kill their personality, you kill their Voice.


People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
On churches, the goal isn't to judge them but we really dont need lots of churches. I've spotted lots of churches in places that is unimaginable. From shops that people would have used to make a living to flats. I even saw one inside those huge iron transformers.
Churches aren't what we need, we need businesses, I spotted one Victorian style building that's perfect as an office for my future plan. I will be enraged and agitated if that building has been converted to a church. Although right next to it, is a church of fire.
The church judge the youth, some denominations have mastered the art of judging, they only smile to church members, every other folks are sinners.
If you are broke and need their help, theyll say thst sin made you poor. Especially if you are on jewelries.

People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
You see some folks who keep hairstyles you dont like, what is your business?
How is the hair going to limit their potential.
Will your quality of life improve when they need and make the adjustments?


People around you are hungry and have No Shelter.
The same goes for the same sex folks, as long as you are discreet and not corrupting the future generations. We need heterosexual couples to ensure the survival of the Human race. Keep the bedroom things private, we dont want to know what you're doing there. I have a problem with giving people the ideas on Social media about what you do in the other room by your mannerism and lifestyle. Let us focus on the most important things.

When Obama sign same sex marriage, Nigeria rushed to ban it, just put yourself in the shoe of someone who is hoping for a better tomorrow where I dont go to bed hungry. The same sex law in Nigeria and the one on corruption that targets Yahoo boys are the most enforced laws in Nigeria.
Give a call to the police that yahoo boys are having an Orgy with all manner of laptops of different shapes and sizes, or gays are hosting parties. Theyll zap there with guns and camera.
Try to call them if you and your family is about to die of hunger, and see their response.
You need to see Rwanda

We need to put first things first
According to Maslow hierarchy of need, the first is Food, then shelter then the other needs which are more emotional and long term comes along.
Most of you reading this, you have eaten today at least, you have a smartphone with daya,
we have about 30% of Nigerians that will go to bed hungry this night and my heart groans silently.


I am Hungry, cold, with no clean water to drink, I sleep under the bridge, how does your action and policy alleviate my condition.

What do you mean by you need to see Rwanda

Youre right, this isnt the thread for this.
Pls channel it to the right place.

1. I dont know much about the industry, from my global experience in facts and figures, there will be more jobs in canada, UK, and Germany. Not much industrial jobs here.
2. Well, if he applies from benin republic, it might work since it's a french speaking country. Maybe he might need their passport.
3. Sure, Spousal Visa works, I know 2 people who came with it. But the one sponsoring must have a livelihood to support. In the cases I know, the sponsor was working full time.

Cool bro,

You can redirect your question to the other Irish thread, ICASNG and other experienced folks will be there to attend to you. Before I give the wrong advice. The evidence is here lol.

Skilled health workers are in demand, personally I applied to the HSE for training and employment. That angle is still loading, they're not in the position to train folks now.

I got an email from them, but my application is still pending....

I was about to pounce on them before I remembered to take the shot.
I ordered some stuffs from Boohoo. They're good quality, if not I'm earning in Euros now, I would have passed out after I saw the total.
I paid about €11.45 for Premium delivery. It means that throughout this year, any order I make will appear within 7 working days. Sometimes 3.
This is possible for the Ireland version of boohoo. Theres lots of discounts as stores want to let go of their stock and get new ones.
Some of items arent available i need so I added them to my wishlist.

I got back home from my calls and found these in the hallway. It's safe, not like in Naija that when your posts arrive, your neighbors might think it contains valuables and obtain it.
Maybe that's why the post office won't drop it in my house in Nigeria but rather at the Post office where the lady that attends to me will eye the person that wants to pick up the package and stick a price based on sentimentality.
They have various criterium to stick a price, how smooth your skin is , If you brought a car there, if youre speaking Queens English or Queen Latifah English, if you wore a shades, IF YOURE LOOKING LIKE A YAHOO BOY, prepare to empty your pockets, if you wore those kinds of perfumes that is like a Pandemic, once it touches another person, they have a measure of it that goes and spreads the love.

My first taste of these covert profiling was when I was serving and the Policeman was charging me 30k to bring in a suspect. What happened was that my room was burgled and we all knew who it was, I reported to the police, they just asked me to bring 30k, han han, after losing some valuables, you want to rip me off the more.
I asked the elderly man to walk with me and begged him, I cant do without my gadgets that were stolen, I'll have to travel all the way to Lagos to get new ones. Plus all the information that I will lose.
It was then he told me all these things, that I'm from a RICH home I should call my RICH parents to send the money. I switched to pidgin and did it for 5k.

Judging from the way the lady at the post office eyes are very quick and piercing and the way she prescribe the fees, like how a doctor prescribes drugs to an ailing patient. I began to notice these things in the market, whenever I speak proper English and I bring the food items home, my mum will shake her head and say they duped me. I started wearing crocs and speaking pidgin and they would roll well with me and I was able to bargain better.

Whenever I was at the post office to pick up my orders from aliexpress, I would wear black dunlop, dress simple and approach the lady. It wasnt far from my house. I have paid for shipping, I'll now pay another one again.

Back to Ireland....
There was a time the post man came to my house and no one was home to open the door so they can dump the items. The postman dropped a pickup form through the pidgeon hole. Which I took to the post office collection point and got my order without paying a dime. Life here better
