Which one is work visa? Or you mean Job seeker visa?

For work visa, you need to get a work in portugal first before you can apply for work visa.

Job seeker visa is not cheap also. You need a health insurance that is worth 30,000 euros for you to apply.

I wonder how they think a job seeker will raise 30k euros. If I have that amount, wetin I dey find go Portugal.

You don't need 30k euros all you need is to sign up to a health insurance scheme in the country and the health insurance cover Should be 30k euros. As a young person who doesn't smoke you can get good health insurance plan of 25 euros a month and they will guarantee a cover of 30k euros or even more

Subsidy has to go sha. Na proper mechanism to cushion the effect dem no put in place. As it stands, if Subsidy continues, na to keep borrowing money dey pay for the thin, which in turn, sinks the country more and more. We wish and pray things gets better soon.

last month 907 billion was spent for subsidies. This month will be well over a trillion. Subsidy is back ....

Whalis:
They asked me to go that I would hear from them. This is over 10 Years ago.
I am yet to hear from them.
The truth is that 70% of jobs people do today comes with no interview. Someone would just introduce you and you have got a job.

that is not true...

E dey but not the Very big ones. Like medium size. Better still buy crayfish. No be must to eat fish. Na make belle full na him be koko.

Yesterday I thought of what to cook on a budget. I was actually craving this white rice and concoction palm oil fish stew with iru but when I remembered that 600 naira pepper and tomatoes will not achieve that for me ( cos the last one I got made me stew that I used only twice), I remembered what a Nairalander told me about other ways of eating and enjoying yam ( cos I don't like yam). I quickly made a u-turn, went to one shop and bought yam of 1200, bought eggs. Thankfully I had vegetable oil. I fried half of the yam and that was what I ate throughout yesterday. I spent less and belle full. even till now, I'm still full from yesterdays yam.

God gave us wisdom, so every one should be able to use it to navigate through this period of famine. I'm thinking of roasting the remaining one and I don dey eye some Pako for backyard wey I go use run am outdoor cooking things and it's going to be fun too.

but if if say hello to you now, you will want us to visit ocean view restaurant for our first date

How will the economy shrink if the politicians take a pay cut and the savings used to fund sme's?

How will the economic shrink if we refused to import vehicle for politicians for one year? That will save us fx. If they were using locally produced cars then that would create a problem for the industry. How will the economic shrink if they refused to spent our fx on travelling for one year?

Maybe there is something I missed, unless there is a significant impact of this on the local economy that I missed?

You stated that if we agree to a pay cut of 35k, you did not state cost savings as a means of further production process in your previous statement. Rather you were advocating for freeze in income to stem hyperinflation.

dettolgel:
If all the politicians in Nigeria decide that for the remaining months of 2024 they will only receive 35k as monthly salaries no additional benefits. They will not claim the vehicles that supposed to be giving to them this year. No travelling for the rest of the year. I can assure you that our budget will improve considerably.

then the economy will shrink, there will be massive unemployment, we will go into recession and a demand push inflation will arise

nairalanda1:
Yes, and the subsidy costs have risen because

1.Naira is now devalued..

2.Production costs of fuel have risen a whole lot.

The honest truth is that we have been protected from high fuel prices for decades...and now that protection is wearing off because it is becoming darn too expensive.

CBN can't do much, as we have to earn more forex, before we can see the light of day. Government isn't doing much about that.

that is what the government wants you to believe but that is not true. I have been a banker and worked in advisory services to banks. We have the money to support subsidy payments. Our only problem was wastage of public funds. What is the rationale behind removing subsidies and then increasing states FAAC for the governors to embezzle? What is the rationale of removing subsidies and then you are trying to create a shabby welfare system where the money is continually being embezzled ? The government wants you to be gaslighted and you deeply buying into their cheap propaganda.

nairalanda1:
Yep, you are right, and the people criticising you don't know it.

The reason why we have massive inflation under tinubu is simple....for decades we spent billions of dollars to maintain the illusion the naira was stronger than it was.

Come may 29, 2023, the forex reserve was down to 4 billion dollars and our dollar income was eaten up by debt servicing. A lot of it. SO, the illusion cracked, and here we are with the results...massive inflation.

At least it is still tinubu's fault. If He and buhari had kept quiet in 2012, by now we might have been over the worst.

Did you know we have started paying subsidies? Last month 907billion was spent in subsidy. Did you also know that the CBN has started intervening in the Forex markets by selling to the banks. We are now doing exactly the same thing we renounced in May. We did the right thing hurriedly and foolishly and it became a disaster

aswani:
Ndigbo don't even need the Presidency to break up the country. They can ask their representatives in the Senate and House to propose it and recall any that doesn't back it.

I have a feeling the motion will be accepted as proposed especially as this time, the South South oil would not be folded into their Biafra.

Ndigbo traders in what is left of Nigeria would, I suspect, not want to be part of their Biafra. Same for those born and bred in non alaigbo Nigeria.

I can bet not one Ala Yoruba Igbo would swap their Nigerian passport for a Biafran one. Not one.

There is oil in Imo, Abia and Anambra. Imo has the largest gas deposit in Nigeria. The SE doesn't need the SS oil. Kenya does not have a single drop of oil and their currency is one of the best performing. Venezuela has the highest oil deposit in the world today they are in a mess. SE doesn't need oil to survive

Fineman2:
Another senseless killing of innocent Palestinians by Israel

They just need to weed out Hamas, enough is enough

Thissystem:
Naija my country!! E go better

We really need to do the right things to fix the Nigerian economy. Come up with the right policies, it’s as simple as that…in addition to prayer. We don’t fold our hands and just be praying. Even the Bible says that Faith without works is dead!

If any new policies are not working, then revert them to the old manageable policy that’s not as bad as the new policy until a better policy is figured out. It is not a ‘defeat’ to reverse a non-working new policy to the old one.

Subsidy was removed without a plan to cushion the effect on the poor masses. Naira was allowed to float without thinking about and working on the factors that can ensure its success.

How can the economy work without the right policies in place and implementation of those policies??

we paid 907billion in subsidies last month. Dey play

Built2last:
What exactly is this man's business

because we can celebrate rubbish in Nigeria

he used to have the most successful black chambers in the UK. Most of his wealth came from landmark cases where he represented Nigeria and got handsome commissions

EreluRoz:
It is also stupid for him not to have that emotional intelligence of taking responsibility for his actions. We all know he played woefully and sold us out, so was he expecting to be hailed for playing a bad game? He should get out

It is a game, for one team to win the other must commit and error or play below par. However, when a team performs poorly, the manager should take responsibility not Iwobi. The fact that Iwobi played for 72mins means that for that duration he was the best Nigeria could offer. If there were someone better, the coach should have subbed him. A coach cannot keep a better player on the bench and field in an unfit player. The moment we understand this subtle nuances, the more mature we will become

EreluRoz:
Ehen see correct original naija man here and not some vegetable that couldn't stand little heat and started deleting pictures and posts on his social media accounts and doing like earth worm.

Weak men irritates me to hell.

Some of us are from responsible homes where we were taught use of language, empathy and emotional intelligence. If you think your crude way of life is the standard, and it means being strong then you're mistaken. It is highly irresponsible for Iwobi to display crude manners just because some ghetto kids are trolling him

ivolt:

Putin shouldn't fall his supporters hand, He should follow his words with action.

Since it is now a crime for a sovereign country to destroy a statue within its own borders.
Putin should invade Estonia and Lithuania to enforce the arrest warrant.

Let him invade Estonia so that we can be sure he is fighting NATO and not just Ukraine. At least we can then salute his boldness

WhiteWood:
I think you're correct. I recalculated the figures, and discovered he's correct. I think the problem in Nigeria is beginning to have a negative effect my medulla oblongata, Lol

I am correct, cheers

WhiteWood:
Your calculation is WRONG --- Here is the proof --- You describes a situation where your friend invested $200,000 in Nigerian real estate in 2019. At that time, you said the investment was valued at 72,000,000 Naira. Your calculation suggest that the exchange rate was approximately 360 Naira to 1 US dollar 2019. Check it yourself.

To find out how much 1 dollar is in Naira based on the given conversion of $200,000 equaling N72,000,000, you can divide the total Naira amount by the total dollar amount:

1 dollar = (N72,000,000 / $200,000)

By performing the division:

1 dollar = 360 Naira - IMPOSSIBLE

Therefore, based on the given conversion, 1 US dollar is equal to 360 Nigerian Naira. --

you are wrong and do not understand what he wrote...you invest 200k USD which is 72m in Naira @360 as at today the value of the investment is 200million Naira; however Naira has devalued from 360-1500 against the dollar. Hence, the real estate worth is 200million/1500naira which gives you 133k USD the guy has lost almost 67k USD in that investment

Winning123:
You are damn wrong. If he invest in real estate the value of those properties would also be higher now. Has your rent not gone up?

the value of the property went up from 72m to 200m, however the rate of devaluation was higher which eroded the profit he has made. If he wants to divest for instance his initial 200usd is now worth 135usd. He made a loss

deyemia:
If you charge naira, international customers will still source the naira with dollars now

that is the idea, when you start sourcing for Naira with the Dollar then the demand for Naira rises so does its value...

God1000:
Europe and NATO doesn't like him, his second term will bring unimaginable disaster.

He will also embark on a revenge mission straight.

As much as I hate joe Biden for supporting Israel war in Gaza, he's still better than Donald Trump

It was Donald trump that moved US embassy from TelAviv to Jerusalem, he would sent US troops to Gaza if he was the one in office

Trump that is already mapping out strategies on deportation of protesters (people protesting against Israel). He said it that he will find them (ones with improper documentation) and send them back. Gazans should better pray for Biden

PepeXKermit:
And? If you are feeling entitled to FP, go and create your own forum..

I understand your frustrations, you will be fine.

Babangidapikin:
Hmmm na wa o .... Cable says his wife and son with him ...all those years of toiling gone ...my Condolences to the Access Family and Oga Aig-Imoukhuede especially.

The parents are still mourning the death of his sister, the brother also died recently...quite strange

Catapault:
You can say that again.

That is a suspicious death though.

It seems he was targeted.

Please stop all these unnecessary insinuations. No one is getting out of here alive, we all live to die

vanbonattel:
What?

yeah he died in California , his wife and child were also with him all dead

This is a sad day as the CEO of Access Bank plc dies in a Helicopter crash in California USA. His wife, child also died in the crash

February 10, (THEWILL) – A chopper transporting Herbert Wigwe, the CEO of Access Holdings has crashed and killed him as well as about 5 others in California.

Sources said the chopper was headed to Las Vegas when it crashed near a border city between Nevada and California on Friday night. The US government confirmed all on board dead.

mastermaestro:
Each time the Israeli governments and citizens watch those clips of celebration, it spurs them to sink their teeth deeper into Palestinian flesh. This retaliatory war has no end. Maybe the next US president will broker peace. As for Biden, Isreal does not regard him.

Trump is coming and he has plans to first deport Gaza sympathizers, the Muslim world should pray for Biden cos Trump had already declared Jerusalem capital of Israel

Kukutenla:
The north are hypocrites. And that is why Nigeria is not a country. To claim Buhari got away with murder because of cult followership is to deodorise the pungent tribal and religious fundamentalism that's at the base of his followership. Most of Buhari's followers in the CPC they formed are clueless, dumb and sectional. Just check out their performance as ministers and heads of agencies.
The only appeal they had in the north was based on tribal and religious ideology and not any superior group interest.

It is also disheartening that after the maladministration CBN went through under Buhari and Emefiele is lackey, Tinubu couldn't get a better fit for the job of repositioning such a critical institution. What's worse is his elevation of CBN above NNPCL which has fared better previously in terms of audit and compliance.
However, it is obvious Cardoso is not running a one man show. He's under the tutelage of Edun. So it's more like the voice of Cardoso but the hands of Edun. And this is not to say I agree with Kperoogi's assessment of him

Everyone in Finance knows that Cardoso is not fit for the job, even if Tinubu wanted the job to go to an Omoluabi, there are sharper and smarter Omoluabis' in Finance and economic planning. Cardoso doesn't have the skills to navigate this murky waters that is why his only rhetoric has been "ensuring the core function of the CBN" yet, we have not seen any price stability.

Jeon:
Abeg r3st. Did they tell you they are looking for marriage ?
.Hardly to see a rich or successful woman crying for marriage because she has what it takes to get a way from *poverty *. Like what Men normal says *Marriage is an empowerment to Women*.
So why will she look for an uplift empowerment, when she had all and all.



Why enbe say nah Men dy cry over Marriage and Women pass?..... Crying over what you claimed to be a man's destructions.



*spit *

I know lots of very of well to do ladies who want husbands. I was in Nigeria last month for the wedding of a former colleague. By all standards she is better off than the guy. Both women and men need each other because after 45 it begins to get lonely

Wawelexy:
Diversity in transition will help solve the traffic jam(rail, waterways and rail)

Your second point does not put the state revenue generation into consideration, money must be made...

Did you just say 'easily fix the road'? Remember he has less than three years to round up his tenure. Leaving a cumbersome project like road isn't advisable (Ambode's case scenario).

Creating a balance in infrastructural allocation to some places within a state isn't a faulty logic sir, the segregation between mainland and island has been from time immemorial, even from the days of the colonial masters... It's fair enough to do it that way

I have been to some good Airports in developed countries and the best suited were those out of the city centres. You have enough space to plan around and get it right. Development will come to meet the airport as long as it is located in Lagos albeit in a "controlled" manner. Lagos is home to more than 20million people you will rake in income anywhere you cite the airport in Lagos axis and Lagos should have about 4 intl airports. Sanwolu cannot even finish the first phase of the airport in 3 years if he begins the project this morning, let alone completing the project. However, I am not right and you are not wrong...what will be will be

Wawelexy:
Ikorodu have enough land capacity for this, but bad road is a major problem here.... Someone mentioned badagry up there, that location will record low patronage due to bad road and far distance to developed area, even tho they also have land mass...

Lekki/Ajah still remains the perfect location when we put generating revenue for the state into consideration.. Proximity to top companies, wealthy people, embassies, 4star hotels is an added advantage, also, it will serve as a representation of tourism and a standard metro transportation system for a mega city like Lagos consisting of rail, water, road and air transportation. Moreover it will be a balance as mainland already had a federal airport at Ikeja.

Badagry will be perfect and what you said is the reason why it is best suited for Badagry. Busy Airports creates traffic and causes rapid development. Lekki axis is already busy enough. Far distance to developed area is good, Govt can easily fix the roads. Controlled development will come in handy. However, the airport will be located in Lekki due to the faulty logic of mainland has one the island should have one
