PoliticsRe: ‘Days Of Rage’: Sowore’s AAC To Protest Across Nigeria, August 5 by Predstan: 10:07am On Jul 29, 2019

Forget the China the media hogwash of 10-20yrs ago, China as a country of its own is thousands of years older than Nigeria. This is an ample time enough to fine tune their economy and all what not to what it is today.
Going by statistics available, Rwanda is NOT better than Nigeria. Are you aware than by Ratio, there are more poor people in Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya than Nigeria?? More than half of the population, infact about 60% of Rwanda are living below poverty threshold.
To paint Nigeria bad, they had to do it by count to score political point because in Africa for example Nigeria have more than double the population of any country in Africa.
Lastly, the bolded comment is a fallacy. Rwanda is NOT doing any BETTER than Nigeria statistically.
Statistically right? The same statistic said Nigeria and China were on the same level of development 10 years ago. We both had Vision 2020 but one has become reality while the other has deteriorated that the vision 2020 has been extended by another 20years.

Back to your statistic, you are only concerned about Money and not other aspect of the statistics. You make less money in the UK if you work as a Robotic engineer than you will make in the US and that does not make UK less of a country.
People who make less money in Rwanda still have access to light, water and good roads. Driving from Rwanda to Uganda with no maps on the road is a glory But you and I, while making more money will have to pay our own security, pay bribes to get things done even to the international passport, buy gas to fuel our gen and pay exorbitant fees to High schools for the education of our children.

Rwanda was the host of African Tech Summit and their discussions was basically how to transform Africa through Rwanda to Technology hub. After that summit, they launched the satellite that provide free internet access for High schools and Primary schools. They plan to improve and transform their flying drones to flying vehicles for transportation. They launched the first Smartphone factory in Africa.

The bilateral agreement for African countries was also signed in Rwanda. I still dont understand the role of the Giant of Africa if they had to go to Rwanda to sign that agreement. Was it because of security?

Why do you expressly deny Nigeria by refusing to use a possessive pronoun like "my" or "our" and repeatedly talk about "your people". It questions your patriotism or are you not a Nigerian?
Lol, I am a Nigerian. I'm talking about the Nigeria that some people find better than what I'm experiencing. The Nigeria of the looters and their Family is better than any nation

I have been to more countries, executed projects in most part of Nigeria and and few in some parts of africa. So listing those countries as a yardstick makes you more dumb.
Comparing a country of 200m to a country of 20m 30m also makes you dumb.
Comparing a country with more landmass with one that is 2/3rd lesser makes you even more dumb.
More landmass and with more resources. 90bn dollars stolen by one of your people will provide the basic 24/7 Electricity. You are proud to mention your population as the hinderance to progress and have forgotten that China, a country in the same state as yours 10 years ago with more than 5times population is now doing fine. India was known as the capital of poverty but you overtook India with more people in extreme poverty than a population of above 1billion.

If you can't compare Nigeria with the East African Countries, then you should compare them with China and India. Tell me if you doing better than them after all, your population is less than that of China.

If RWANDA with less population could be doing better than Nigeria x Nigeria should be doing better than China and India

All this things you listed did not start 2015 as its made out to look like. Infact, there are still poor people in those countries you listed.
I have problems with hypocrisy because if your father is a minister or you are made a minister will you want a revolution? Change is a mindset because there is no gurantee that those who will take over are any better.
The images you see below are Kenya and Uganda. So believe medias who are hell bent on making your country look bad at your own peril.
Did I mention 2015, Buhari or Jonathan. You went to school at all? You saw images online and you just post it here, I've been to these countries that's why I can speak of what they have and boast of.

Was occupy Nigeria not organized when Jonathan was the President? Must you bring politics into everything? You sound deluded and just too young to hold a conversation.

You are oppressed, I am not. Infact, everyday I look for new business to venture in. Stay there and be hoping for a messiah in a black nation that will never come.
No one is finding a way to be rich. All we demand is basic Amenities. Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia all enjoy basic Amenities from Electricity to Good roads and healthcare down to a listening Government. We are not asking to be enriched. The poorest person in France enjoy these things.
TravelRe: Securing Visa To France, Applying From Nigeria... by Predstan: 7:39am On Jul 29, 2019
mrphysics:
Yes bro. I went through Campus France. We were told that visa fee for us is 22k while vfs still collect 44k from applicants especially in Lagos.

I paid 27k though, that is 22k plus their 5k service charge. I think from next year, students won't have anything to do with vfs.
Yes. Because they are just extorting us. After September 2019, students will not have to go through vfs anymore but campus France. For example. I was suppose to pay 15k at vfs as well according to campus France website because we already paid 15k to campus France(no scholarship) but those guys go collected the 44k.

How were you able to convince them to pay 22k?

Baba u are still new to ios.. my 1st iphone was iphone 5 n was like 4 years ago.. lol blackberry n iphone has similarities yh but not the angle ur pushing. With time u would learn more about the iPhone's and 1 other thing to keep in mind. All plus are bigger.. 6 plus. 7 plus. 8 plus. I would advise you get a new iPhone 7 or fairly used iphone 6 plus.. your A70 u highly rated and once said the only thing it doesnt have is water resistance got me laughing hard.. ����� A70 doesn't have a whole lot of stuff like IR blaster. To a better chip for faster pictures to Samsung pay and more.. some functions are limited to only the S series for a reason.. i like your analysis tho, you are a fast learner but still poor at reviews as you have little knowledge of past great devices and functionalities, like praising the very poor face unlock on the A70.. lol in terms of security n unlock speed time.. the iphone Face id was made a crazy fast n expensive chip set n makes it xtremely fast and more reliable to the A70 n a whole lot more, Samsung introduced new enciting functions in the A70 to tempt average smartphones user tho n it's working
Lol. You won't understand how I'm laughing hard here. The Face ID on the iPhone is a very big deal especially on the XR upward... iPhones X series are great phones no doubt

Very correct which means buying s6 or s7 would not give you the flexibility you had like and less face it.. the s8 isn't really that better than the A70 but it has more mad flagship qualities and functions... Samsung are very smart wity their S series. Note Series. J series then A series.
I've not had first hand experience of the J and A series.

But I will choose the Note series before the S series. The Note 9 beats the S9plus while the Note 8 competes with the S9.

Note 10 will be a Beast on its own

The sparta guy is really new to high end phones, lol no wonder he rated the A50 n A70 on screen finger print system. Lol those tech are slower, the finger print on the S10e is faster and more reliable, theres a lot bro Sparta needs to learn about Samsung. The S10 is currently either the best overall smartphone in the world or 2nd... @sparta u might not get the one ui on older S series Samsung tho
,
The one UI is available on S8 and S9 but not on the older S series. I'm still not convenient with the onscreen fingerprints on the S10plus. I was not able to use it to complete an online registration which requires fingerprints

I submitted my application at the vfs today in Abuja. Those vfs staffs can be frustrating.
I only have one reservation, the DoB on my Waec certificate is wrong by a day. Instead of 13th, it was 12th. But I didn't submit the Waec anyway as we were told it's not needed for postgraduate studies rather copies of degree certificate.

I have a fully funded PTDF scholarship. Should I be worried?
Did you go through campus France. You are good to go with PTDF scholarship

IF I WAS THE ONE I DID CHOOSE RWANDA, REASON IS BECAUSE RWANDA IS MORE BEAUTIFUL AND GIVES YOU THE FEELING LIKE YOU TRAVELLED ABROAD TO WESTERN WORLD AND YET ITS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY.

AND ONE MORE,D PRESIDENT OF RWANDA IS THE ONLY SANE AFRICAN PRESIDENT I KNOW OF. IN A COUPLE OF YEARS RWANDA WILL RANK WILL WESTERN COUNTRIES BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS REALLY TRYING.
The opposition of the President keep disappearing. Kagame was one who lead the Homicide of the Then President. No African President is sane. Kagame is a Dictator. But he's doing fine in Rwanda, the country is beautiful and there is 24/7 electoricity... Kigali is nice but not other places e.g Huye Butari

Moses Ran away for Pharaoh but came back to liberate his people(the Israelites). What are you still doing over there? Come back to Nigeria and liberate your people. I had to go back and read the ministerial list released just yesterday, you can tell me which one you are on that list.
Even Jesus left heaven to die for you and other Christians according what they claimed. He didn't stay in heaven to condemn them. Baba come back to Nigeria and liberate us. You are the Moses of our time, the jesus of our Christians and the Zackyzacky of our Shiites.

Should send in tomorrow. I travelled back to jos because I failed to go with a document. That's why I didn't submit on Friday. However, I am very confused now because of the US stuff, whether I should just quit the France stuff and save my money even though I have spent a sum already . Sure, you can send me a pm bro
Okay. I sent in a PM. I will not advise you to quit France because US is not guaranteed. If you have not received your I-20 at this moment, it might be difficult to get an appointment date. What if your request for expedite appointment is not approved? With your full scholarship, your passport will not spend more than 2 weeks at the French Consulate. Make sure you request for letter stating that you can resume after your resumption date because I'm very sure you are suppose to resume for Orientation by August.
The same mistake I made last year looking at the US only but was denied twice.
