Sapa na bastard and a great lesson teacher

FutureIsFemale:
I was thinking I'm the only one who saw it.

I pity those who think these guys hands are clean.

Vision101:
Someone here said that you trespassed. I hope you know the meaning. It's a tortuous act. It's punishable in law.... hahahaha.

The kitchen belongs to your brother's wife. You can only use it at her permission. I hate to open my wife's pot.

Informanta:
Great to return back here….. after all said and done Today makes it exactly 3 months of me and my family landing in the UK.

GeneralDae:
Maybe I should reword it to say: "But for the fact that they are part of the EU would have been no different from many African countries economically".
Believe me there are lesser opportunities and severe unemployment or underemployment
with very low pay in some Eastern European countries on the same scale as that of more than a few African countries.
Hungary, Poland, Greece and the likes, should thank their stars they are part of the EU.

There's a secret I've learnt with styling using CSS. when you want to have a clearer picture of what you're doing, use BORDER: 2px solid black; for the element you're trying to style that way you can see the "result" better. Although this doesn't mean that you will automatically achieve what you set out to achieve.

Keep learning you'll be "frustrated" but just keep at it you'll be fine.

LikeAking:
Op gud luck to you.

My brother, age is not a barrier. I started programming around age 14 on a very antiquated computer. Those ones that were just a keyboard that you connect to a TV and drop into command line. Programmed in QBASIC. Saved the programs on a radio cassette. I was clueles about what I was doing but I was just typing the code from the book I was learning from. Fast forward to University and all I was doing was making sense. I was so good that I wrote my first programming exam 2 hours after coming from club and made an A. Programing I, II and CSC205-Data Structures and Algorithm were a breeze. This was back in the days of Redhat 3 I think. Then I got disillusioned and derailed. At 30 my senses came back and I had to refresh my Programming skills. Programming had migrated to Web Programming with PHP as king. I struggled to get HTML and CSS and PHP /mySQL into the the brain. But old soldier never dies. I went back to my C++ & Java jeje and OOP programming. The joy was undescribable. I have had highs and major lows (lost a job in a major Nigerian Gas Company that was paying ₦1.9m monthly at the time - we are talking years ago when dollar was ₦350). Went in to supply chain management and did Okay. But the pull from computing was too much. Came back into computing mid thirties and I must say I'm okay doing this. Persistence is key. You will overcome Las Las and will look at this learning period with joy.

I'm surprised (and pleased) that MirthOsas is encouraging you. I'm aware he is still learning the ropes and for some reason I like his spirit.

Do people applying for work visa show proof of fund?

You haven't said anything, someone want a general idea of what it is about to live in Germany you're rather writing this long boring write-up.
That's why I like quora, very interesting not this boring naira land.

OBUKOMENA:
Good evening nairalanders! I hope you had a good day?

So, let me just go straight to my reason for opening this thread, and I hope I would be able to convey my thoughts impeccably:

It seems like some of our people who travelled to Germany aren't doing so well after all (I stand to be corrected, though!)
I have a friend over there whom I am preparing to go meet. This guy has been there since 2017. He hardly calls me on normal call. He would rather call on WhatsApp. Reason being so that he could get in touch cheaply. The first and only time I asked him to send me something, he told me pointblank he didn't have.
Just this afternoon, I heard a colleague's father just came back to Nigeria from there after 21 solid years! He had abandoned his wife and children here in Nigeria. If he was doing so well over there, would he not have arranged for his family to come over and stay with him - at least?

I have been worried, even before I heard this colleague's father thing: I don't know what I am going to meet at the friend's place; I don't know what life is like over there - how to cope in a non-English speaking environment. I don't know how long it's going to take me to make it over there and reconnect with my family. This news about my colleague's dad also increased my worries.

So, I decided I would come on here to ask: Aren't these red flags as regards traveling over there, especially with the hope that when i get there, after 2-3 years, I would bring in my family.
Anyone here knows about life in Germany?

Ikman33:

yanabasee2:
Even though our military have been reduced to nothing.... Stooping low to engage into this type of crime is totally unthinkable....



I want to believe that the Military officers who did this are fake.... Probably some cults guys disguising..... No trained officer will randomly pick someone and scam them....

diplomat058:
Lol. It seems you are creating your own reality. Stats state otherwise tho, parallel to the "facts" you pulled out from your Okpa. I lived in Ebonyi for a year and I frequented Enugu and Anambra axes. I picked only Anambra for obvious reasons. That's the only SE state on track. The rests are glorified villages. The level of poverty I saw in Ebonyi was unparalleled. Aside Anambra, Ogun's GDP is greater than the combined value of the productivity of Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, and Ábíá. You can check with all statistical journals of repute. And the standards of living in comparison? Don't even go there. Your brothers hopping on "God is good" and "Ifesinachi" buses to come "hustle" in the SW says a lot

diplomat058:
SW? You ended up becoming even more foolish than the person you quoted. Which region is most developed in the South? Lagos factor apart, only Rivers, Akwa Ibọm, and Anambra, I believe, are comparable to the trio of Ogun, Oyo, and Ondo in the SW.

numericalguy:
Nothing like mumu here. They're right.

Some wear waist beads for fashion and nothing else.

Some wear waist beads that have spiritual powers with for protection, to lure men or for any destructive purposes.














Africans too mumu sha.

What will these ones say about bangles wrists watches and ear rings. If you could do charm or JuJu with waist beads,, you might as well do the charm and JuJu with ear rings, bangles and wrist watches.

namiji2598:
Is the southern States any better? State like gombe is better than 70% of southern states, not to talk of States like kano, kaduna. Am talking from experience sir, I have been to almost all the southern States.

BlueRayDick:
Most young people wonder why Nigeria is in this terrible state it is, well this is one of the reasons right here.

I mean we all complain why we don't have good leaders, why our leaders keep taking us for granted with impunity ; but then we forget we are the ones who empower and encourage them to do so.

I understand the author of this article claimed he's trying to fact check the Peter Obi's alleged corruption against the law, but what he doesn't know is that he has given an easy way out for the man to wriggle himself out of this mess he presently found himself and has even encouraged more politicians like Peter Obi to do this same thing and get away with it.

Nobody accused Peter Obi of being a thief years after his tenure expired as a governor probably because he had all his flanks covered and even kept on boasting about his clean and impeccable records up till this moment that the Pandora papers actually revealed he's not as clean as he claimed to be. Now a lawyer boldly coming out to start explaining tax law just to prove that the man might have done one or two things to help himself to make some money against the "Mr integrity" picture he was selling to us all ; it just looks somehow.

Later we will all be complaining why People like Tinubu and Odili got perpetual injunction prohibing the authorities from trying them for allegations bothering on financial misappropriation if their hands are actually clean; we will complain why EFCC didn't go after Tinubu after the bullion van episode; we will complain why Orji Uzor Kalu is a free man today walking up and down Nigeria on political visits despite what he did with Abia state's funds through Slok...... What we fail to understand is that people like this author that are smart and young will always be there to offer their "professional views" and claim to be fact checking when in fact they are emboldening future politicians to even do worse Than the present.

Chief Dr. Oliver Sunday Akanite (April 14, 1947 – June 21, 2008) was a Nigerian highlife musician and guitarist who recorded more than 73 albums to his credit, making him the most popular highlife king of Africa. His music band group are known as Ogene Sound Super of Africa, which blended modern high life and traditional Igbo music.

The music star had 12 kids: seven boys and five girls. And they all enjoyed their father’s presence. “It was awesome. My siblings and I didn’t see him as a famous figure. He was a normal, caring, jovial and loving dad to us,” Darlington Akanite, one of his sons, disclosed to press men.

While growing up, Oliver was popularly called the Game Master. This was because he was good at the game of draft. Draft in Igbo language is ‘Okwe.’ People began to call him Oliver De Ka Okwe. He then changed the name to sound more like a French name; that was how he came up with Oliver De Coque.

He loved to buy clothes. He spent a lot of money maintaining his looks. In fact, he spent N30,000 on his beard weekly and that amounted to N120,000 monthly.

He went to his salon twice a week. He always said his beard was his signature look. He said if someone decided to keep a beard, it was right to maintain it.


He fell ill at the end of 2007. He was diabetic and hypertensive. Most artistes don’t like to disclose their health challenge.

His son is of the opinion that if he had disclosed his health challenge, he would have gotten help quick. He was ill for three months. “He then recovered in February 2008 and began to go for shows. He died on June 20 but he had planned to travel to the US on July 2 for checkup,” Darlington added.

He told the press that it was as if his father knew he was going to die because on the day he died, he decided to stay indoors. “And he wanted me to stay by his side.”

“That morning, after he had his breakfast, he began to feel ill. He said he was going to cancel his appointment for that day. I didn’t know it was a serious matter; all I did was to console him. I went to the bathroom to take a shower and then told him that I wanted to visit a few friends. He begged me not to leave his side; I became upset. I thought he was depriving me of catching fun. I grudgingly stayed back.”

While Darlington stayed with him, he began to tell him of how he started his career. As he said the story, he complained of not breathing well. Oliver then decided to go to hospital. On their way to the hospital, he called the driver to increase the temperature of the air conditioner; he said he was feeling hot. His son became scared when he began to shout ‘wheelbarrow! wheelbarrow! ‘Darlington, please bring a wheelbarrow.’”
Darlington wondered what was happening. It was after he died he realised the highlife maestro was referring to a wheel chair.

I think he was becoming paralysed and unconscious. When we got to the hospital, he was rushed to the emergency ward.

“Throughout his time at the hospital, he kept begging me to save him but there was nothing I could have done,” the son said.

Before he died, he held Darlington’s hand close to his side as he took his last breathe. His son closed his eyes and kissed him on the forehead. “I was so confused about all that happened.”


If Oliver had made his health condition public, the son believes more than 200 Igbo people would have laid their lives down for him.

He is gone, leaving behind a vacuum. But he’s taught the entire family a lesson: whenever one is facing a challenge, one shouldn’t keep quiet about it. “I want people to learn from his death.”

Even your family should be left in the dark on such an important occasion of your life?

You don't seem to get it. It's just like going somewhere without intimating your family on where you're going in case one gets missing. So they know where to go looking for you.
If you just walk up to them and say you are married. Do you think they will believe you? Especially here in Africa. Like it's that easy? No now.

As long as they are not aware, you still remain unmarried to them and if anything happens, such a couple will be treated as mere boyfriend and girlfriend. Even me, that's how I'll regard such.

Let not encourage what is not good on.

The youth will just wake up and the devil will minister nonsense to them and theyll follow without reasoning it out.
Hian!
