With the US banning residency visa for Nigerians

The EU about to put an even more stricter visa requirements on Nigerian nationals.

The UK leaving the EU and creating an impossible skilled worker point system to achieve residency.

It seems with Canada being immigrant friendly, along with an achievable immigration system, it seems like Canada is the more preferred destination for Nigerian nationals. Seems like Canada will turn into London soon.

Definitely not all Canadians are nice. It is erroneous to generalise based on a few occurences. All countries have good and bad people. I have met some really nasty Canadians. From my experience, people generally seem to be more friendlier in smaller Canadian cities. People in bigger cities tend to mind their own business and can often show a nasty behavior when you cross their personal space.

my lecturer shared a similar experience. They just moved to Canada and Needed to get a washing machine urgently, they found one that the price was really higher than their budget but felt they could beat it down. They Approached the young couple. selling it and after bargaining, they paid and went to look for a truck to bring it Home. When they got Home, the wife opened the washing machine and saw an envelope with more than thrice the money they paid, there was a small Note there that read "we love your family and hope you settle in Soon, please do reachout if you need any assistance.". That was really touching. This happened over 10 years ago.
Wow, that's really nice. The country becomes better because we receive and give kindness and the cycle goes ground.

Many Nigerians have no understanding of self-pride talkless of patriotism.

Any organisation can come into Nigeria, make any outlandish claim (like MMM) without any evidence, as long as it appears foreign and it appears against government's interest, a large swath of our youth would endorse it.

We have way too many ignoramuses in Nigeria.

post=94357697:
(CNN) Thirty-five years ago, with just one acre of land, a couple of seeds and a bucket of hope, one Nigerian-born scientist began his quest to trample famine on his continent.
News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Father Godfrey Nzamujo, then an expatriate priest and professor at the University of California, Irvine.
"People were dying of starvation. I couldn't stand it," Nzamujo told CNN.
Equipped with a microbiology PhD and his faith, he travelled back to Africa in search of a solution.
There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse and capable of producing food.
He believes drought wasn't the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been left out of the equation.
Nzamujo began devising a "zero waste" agriculture system that would not only increase food security, but also help the environment and create jobs.
In 1985, he traded in his professor post for gardening gloves and started his sustainable farm "Songhai" in the West African country of Benin.
What is zero waste farming?
At the core of the idea of sustainable agriculture is designing farms that mimic the way natural ecosystems work.
"One really important piece of that is structuring farms to persist without external inputs like fossil fuels or toxic chemicals," said Liz Carlisle, an assistant professor in Environmental Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Those can create problems that degrade both the food system and the surrounding environment, she said.
Zero waste agriculture, a type of sustainable farming, takes these principles even further by introducing a regenerative loop, where waste in one area produces feed, fuel or nutrients for another.
The output of one area, like the livestock production, would feed into either energy production or fertilizer for crops," explained Ronnie Brathwaite, a senior agriculture officer at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. "The crop residues will be used in either energy production or livestock feeding, or even making other products."
Scientists say farmers could grow their way out of the climate crisis
Zero waste" is a buzzword today with the spotlight on climate change. However, this type of farming is not new.
It was in place globally for millennia, until farms, especially in developing countries, moved toward synthetic fertilizer use and single crop production during the Green Revolution of the 1950s, according to Brathwaite.
During this period, growing populations generated a need to intensify the food supply quickly. Industrial agriculture created high yields, but it came with a high price, including large amounts of waste from crop production and livestock, Brathwaite explained.
"What was not taken into account was the impact on the environment and the very resources that support it, like soil and water," he said.
A symbol of African renaissance
Wanting to restore synergy to farms in Africa, Nzamujo started his sustainable farming mission on a small plot of land given to him by the government of Benin.
In addition to providing organic produce locally, Songhai employs 300 people daily. They harvest crops, tend to animals, oversee composting, or service the biogas digester -- which turns chicken excrement into fuel.
Nzamujo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques. He credits his degrees in science and engineering for Songhai's success. But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father -- a driving force in his life who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.
Songhai has several "eco-literacy" development programs. They range from 18-month training courses for farmer-entrepreneurs, to shorter stays to learn techniques like irrigation. People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo's methods.
After seeing success on his first zero waste farm, he expanded throughout Benin and western Africa.
Today, the Songhai model is implemented across the continent, including in Nigeria, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7,000 farmer-entrepreneurs and more than 30,000 people in total since it began.
DIt's not always easy to get started in sustainable farming. Beyond the educational investment, local policies and regulations also have to support this type of farming. Not every country allows crops and livestock to be grown together.
Many countries originally rejected Nzamujo's farm plans before Benin granted him some land.
Carlisle believes a key part in fostering the sustainable agriculture movement is decoupling the public sector from extractive agricultural models.
"There is a whole support system around industrial agriculture because it's been subsidized by national governments," she said.

However, Carlisle notes institutions are being built to support sustainable farmers.

Increasing food security
With more than 820 million people facing hunger globally, according to the UN, coupled with a rapidly increasing population, comes the need for even more food.
If there was a shift toward more sustainable farming practices, could it keep up with the demand?
Some research has shown this model, when implemented correctly, has the potential to produce almost as much as conventional farming. Both the UN and independent scientists have called for a paradigm change away from industrial agriculture to sustainable practices in order to help our planet and the food system.
"With zero waste farming, I think we're in a better position to satisfy the needs of the globe," Brathwaite told CNN. "We can continue to produce similar levels of food to feed a growing population, and we have the advantage of reduction in wastage."
Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat three decades ago: hunger, unemployment and environmental degradation. And he wants to see it go further.
"Yes, it is a revolution. But it's a revolution that is not them against us," he said. "It is a revolution that is inviting every people to a new way of seeing things."

Have a look at it

RuggedSniper:
^^^Hi once again @Khiaa, you are wrong about your generalisations that all Nigerians are Trump supporters. That country is NOT monolithic and has over 250 distinct ethnic groups that were at different stages of cultural/political civilisation) which the British colonialists merged together in 1914. The Hausas, Yorubas (Yorubaland extends from Nigeria to Benin Republic and Togo), Ibos, Kanuris are the top 4 ethnicities out of the 250. NOTE: It is some ignorant Ibos who are from the core 5 Ibo states of SOUTH EAST Nigeria that are the Trump cult supporter in that country. The REUTERS Twitter handle also shows the embarassing pictures of some neurotic bigots among the Ibo Christians who have absolutely NO VOTING RIGHTS in the U.S. I've attached the significant ethno-linguistic/geo-political maps of Nigeria for you to study.

khiaa:


Nigerians never fail to show their support and worship of their Great White GOD. Donald Trump is an open racist, a supporter of White racist extremist/supremacy and was raised by a Ku Klux Klan father.and mother. When you think Nigerians can't display any more COONERY than they already have, BAM!! they hit you with the ultimate betrayal, a parade for a White Racist Pig. To be honest they all should be lined up in front of a firing squad, which includes the Coons in the US.

He hates Black people regardless of where they are from but he let the whole world know how much he loathes Nigerians. The first thing he did when he became POTUS was to rid Nigerians out of the US along with Muslims and ban them from entering the US. Nigerians make me ashamed to call myself African American, I rather stick with Black American. This is so disgusting.

Today is the day, don't forget to vote, I voted 2 weeks ago. Remember that sociopath said if he loses the presidency he will not give up the seat and he has told his racist white terrorist to Stand down and Stand by which is a military order to be prepared.

Last night the racist TERRORISTS paraded through Black neighborhoods trying to terrorize them into not voting, the local Sherrif and cops were there to protect the white racist but they were surprised by the Black Americans unity that drove them including the cops out of their neighborhood. They planned to try it again but this time the neighhood is waiting for them fully loaded with guns and other weapons
. Trump and his goons want a Civil War if he is voted out.

On a better note how have you been?

Ladies, what do you think of this engagement ring?

HeyCorleone:
Lol.

Let them say whatever. Without these "Hot" guys a good number of these females would be worthless. As in utterly useless. Their only usefulness now is to give a guy sex or head for Shawarma or that sort. Imagine if there was no guy. See hunger.

NGpatriot:
The look for love and acceptances in the wrong places..

Shortyy:
A woman posted that she was beaten because she denied her husband sex. And all the comments from men here commended the man for beating his wife. Is this how low men have become because of sex? No atom of sympathy whatsoever! I do hope it's their normal jokes and trolling, because if truly this is how all men are, God will surely understand if I decide not to be with one.

Nobody bothered to know what could have led the woman to make such decision. Could it be she was sick, or she was having menstrual cramp, or she wasn't just in the mood! Fgs no matter what, bride price or no bride price, humanity comes first. How could you justify a human beating his fellow human just because of 2 minutes pleasure? Are you all beasts? Oh My God. I am disgusted.

A woman you dated, promised to love for the rest of your life against all odds. Then you turn her into a punching bag because of sex. You never married her for any other reason just for sex. How unfortunate.

She said she lost her virginity when an ant bit her buttocks, she jumped suddenly and on landing, she heard a crack..!

Brothers and sisters, Na so cold catch me ehhn..

ireneony:
Slipped her finger inside her puni and turned non -virgin just like that.

The thing de pain me.
You go out on a date with a guy the first thing he asks is..are you a virgin.

This happened last april. ..i was at home bored when a call came in, i picked up my phone..saw a strange number and i was so reluctant(i dont go abt picking calls that are not on my contact) so i decided to answer the call. I heard a deep voice..#cut conversation short.
He told me he knew me from somewhere..
So we got talking. One day, he fixed a date we should meet which i oblige to.

On that sunny day we met at fancy restaurant. I won't lie, the food was one of the best i have ever tasted ..
We talked about ourselves.

This guy is from a wealthy family meh but very religious.
He asked, are you are a virgin, i replied hmmmm nah"
His face was kinda sad. He told me he thought i was a decent girl. and i replied yes of course "I'm decent. .

He explained everything to me that he is a virgin and vowed to get married to a virgin aswell.; don't be angry, we can be friends you know, just friends. I was so furious in my mind. na wey i wan hammer na enemy don put sand for my garri.



To my question:
Nairalanders, do you think what he did was right?

wristbangle:
Few months ago while I was washing my clothes in the evening at 7pm, my neighbour living next to me came back from market complaining that on her way coming, she mistakenly feel into a carnal and she needs me to help massage her swollen legs meanwhile she was seriously limping.

Immediately I left washing my clothes, I helped in opening the door of her apartment, carry her market stuffs inside and put water on her cooker.

She was groaning in pains while I pet and calm her to hold on. So I went to my apartment to get the necessary 1st aid treatment materials just to keep her leg fit in order for her to visit hospital the next day.

So when the time came to massage and treat her leg, I started pressing it while she was shouting "Take it easy now".

Meanwhile I couldn't resist her fresh laps when I started moving my hands towards her "off limit region". She was like ''What do u think you are doing?" I told her if I do not press her laps, the pain may shift there. She said "where did u get this useless ideology from?" I said from my secondary school biology teacher. She said "okay oo"

I couldn't resist the temptation when I moved the hands to her off limit region and the next thing I heard was a resounding slap and shouted I want to rape her.

My neighbours who always see me as a gentleman said, they can't believe I can stoop so low to involve myself in this mess.

Since then, they can't even trust me to play with their little daughters as they warn them to abstain from me completely.

Since then I no dey do good samaritan again abeg

What are learning disabilities?
Learning disabilities, or learning disorders, are an
umbrella term for a wide variety of learning problems. A
learning disability is not a problem with intelligence or
motivation. Kids with learning disabilities aren’t lazy or
dumb. In fact, most are just as smart as everyone else.
Just that their brains are simply wired differently. This difference affects how they receive and process information, Simply put, children and adults with learning disabilities see, hear, and understand things differently. This can lead to trouble with learning new information and skills, and putting them to use. The most common types of learning disabilities involve problems with reading, writing, math,reasoning, listening, and speaking. It can be tough to face the possibility that your child has a learning disorder as no parent want to see their children suffer.
You may begin to wonder what it could mean for your child’s future, or worry about how your kid will make it
through school. Perhaps you’re concerned that by calling
attention to your child's learning problems he or she
might be labeled "slow" or assigned to a less challenging
class. But the important thing to remember is that most kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as everyone
else. They just need to be taught in ways that are tailored
to their unique learning styles. By learning more about
learning disabilities in general and your child’s learning
difficulties in particular, you can help pave the way for
success at school and beyond.
Signs and symptoms of learning disabilities
* Problems pronouncing words
* Trouble finding the right word
* Difficulty rhyming
* Difficulty controlling crayons, pencils, and scissors, or
coloring within the lines
* Trouble with buttons, zippers, snaps, learning to tie
shoes
* Slow to learn new skills
* Difficulty with reading comprehension or math skills
* Dislikes reading and writing; avoids reading aloud
* Spells the same word differently
* Trouble following classroom discussions and
expressing thoughts aloud
* Poor handwriting
Common Types of Learning Disabilities
* Dyslexia – Difficulty reading
* Dyscalculia – Difficulty with math ideas
* Dyspraxia (Sensory Integration Disorder) –Difficulty with fine motor skills
* Visual Processing Disorder – Difficulty interpreting visual information
* Dysphasia/Aphasia – Difficulty with language.
* ADHD – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ,while not considered a learning disability, can
certainly disrupt learning. Children with ADHD often
have problems sitting still, staying focused, following
instructions, staying organized, and completing
homework.
* Autism – Difficulty mastering certain academic skills can stem from pervasive developmental disorders
such as autism and Asperger’s syndrome. Children with autism spectrum disorders may have trouble communicating, reading body language, learning basic
skills, making friends, and making eye contact
Getting Help For a Child with Learning Disabilities
* Learn the specifics about your child’s learning disability:Read and learn about your child’s type of learning disability. Find out how the disability affects
the learning process and what cognitive skills are
involved. It’s easier to evaluate learning techniques if
you understand how the learning disability affects
your child.
* Research treatments, services, and new theories:
Along with knowing about the type of Learning disability your child has, educate yourself about the most effective treatment options available. This can help you advocate for your child at school and pursue treatment at home.
* Pursue treatment and services at home:Even if the
school doesn’t have the resources to treat your child’s
learning disability optimally, you can pursue these
options on your own at home or with a therapist or tutor.
* Nurture your child’s strengths :Even though children
with learning disabilities struggle in one area of learning, they may excel in another. Pay attention to*your child’s interests and passions. Helping children with learning disorders develop their passions and strengths will probably help them with the areas of difficulty as well.
