Politics › Why Tinubu Must Draw Blood First Or Prigozhin Will Draw First by sukkot(op):
Truth is that there is an activated Cold War between the USA and Russia and Russia has been at the tail end of that war however with global economic events it’s become clear that the USA is weak and Russia wants to capitalize on this by getting out of the shadow of the USA and creating a new economic global power with the new emerging economic powerhouse China hence BRICS so as to get away from the dollar because that dollar has undue advantage to America who just print it anyhow and devalue global assets by unchecked printing of the dollar and causing global hyperinflation. And so the war to dislodge the USA by Russia is twofold, one is to get as many countries away from the dollar as possible and hence America will have to show its economic strength not by printing more dollars but by what it actually produces which is nothing because all its production has been outsourced to China. Basically America is on its last legs and Russia smells it. The second way is to dislodge America and it’s Allies from the places where they get undue advantage by exploiting poor countries eg the uranium from Niger is bought by America and France at dirt cheap prices hence undue advantage. Russia wants to end America’s undue advantage all over Africa with the dirt cheap exploitation minerals they get from Africa and it does this with the mercenary arm of the Russian army under prigozhin called the Wagner group who have now kicked out France from Mali and Burkina Faso and Niger by kicking out France and America backed Bazoum and in the process are leaving a trail of rebellious beret wearing pro Russian pro Wagner presidents all across west Africa. Is tinubu next ? Is that why he is scared because he knows he is next if he continues to support the west ? Is that why tinubu is going on this counter offensive first before they come for him ? Is that why he retired all the generals ? Will prigozhin come for tinubu next in the quest for mother Russia to emerge out of the shadows of America ? The new world order . The last becoming the first . The global transition . Is tinubu next and is that why he is on the counter offensive. Strike first

This is not true. I see a lot of people with their healthcare uniform coming to pick up their kids.

At my work, everyone block their calendar around that time as school run. So, meetings are usually not fixed at that time. Much more people are working from home now anyway.
the only point you are making is the bolded

doctors and nurses who do night shifts are doing dead end job? Network enegeers who keep the system running 24hrs are doing dead end jobs?
most night jobs not all. try to be rational in your thinking.

just cuz we have elumelu and alakija and otedola and tinubu and adenuga in nigeria does not mean all nigerians are billionaires. just cuz we have 100 doctors out of 10000 nightshift workers doesnt mean the nightshift is not mostly minimum wage dead end. try to be a rational thinker if its not asking for too much from you

Lucky to get night shift job? What are you talking about? So many companies have night shift work system, train companies, the police force, warehouses, supermarkets, hospitals etc
any night shift job is a dead end job. stacking shelves, security etc

Which takes us back to why they are stingy. Night shift job is usually minimum wage

lol when i go to school run many parents are just coming from work to pick their kids. You even live in nigeria, you have a british passport but still misleading people.
yes parents who are lucky to have figured it out and gotten a job that ends at say 2 pm. It’s all luck. There aren’t too many jobs that end at 2pm unless you own the business then you can Break at 2 to go pick the kids. Most of these women you see coming to pick up their children are business owners

i think you are misleading people. Many nigerian women are doing well. When I went to hertfordshire, there HR director is an igbo woman. The Mp represnting newcastle in the House is an igbo woman. Or do i mention many hausas, yorubas, edos women i know doing well. Even my own wife is a big doc or my cousin or my own sister. You are talking of new immigrants who are trying to settle. You have to differentiate them.
brother your argument is typical of the way Nigerians think but I am going to ply that line Of argument with you.

In Nigeria we have Dangote and alakija and elumelu and dantata and tinubu and don jazzy and davido etc etc so therefore everybody in Nigeria is doing well.

This is your line of argument

Sorry to say this but i think the clueless person here is you.

I really wonder if you have ever been to the UK before let alone know how the system works.

People work different shifts, Night shift, late morning shift, mid-days start shifts, working from home etc..i mean i can go on and on..

People plan their family runs around those shifts and still survive.
you may be lucky to find jobs where he does night shift ( but you know that’s going to be security work dead end job ) while she works daytime , but these things are luck and not the reality for most. The reality for most is that the women have all resorted to being stay at home mums and have all opened YouTube channels ( I know a million of them on YouTube ) to bring in an extra 50 pounds a month

childcare for how many days?. If your kids are in full time schooling, what is the business with childcare? You guys should change your circle. The problem is that nigerians are not open about their affairs unlike indians. Many nigerians are swimming in money. The guy on twitter driving 2023 mercedes was even telling people that he is suffering, that life is hard. Thats nigerians for you. I belonged to a group with other nigerians and uk govt was giving out free money. Do you know i was the only person who told others but i was shocked they knew about it but they hid it. This is the only thing i hate about the commumity.
chief someone has to drop them off and pick them up from school and look after them while you are working. you are clueless

it’s not my opinion, it’s the truth. Those Davido and asake concerts are always full of Nigerian students, especially girls who knew these guys music from back home. The average Londoner or Nigerian who lives permanently in London do not know who asake is and neither do they have time to be going to concerts. Na students Dey get all those kind time and joy

£600 rent all inclusive lol I can see you are writing this from your village. Where in the UK would you get this good deal at the same time have access to a well paying job.
that mane don’t know places with cheap rent is because it is a blue collar town with service jobs that pay like 9 pounds an hour

I also noticed he said he and the wife will be working. So this means they would hire childcare for the children. The childcare payment is the same as the wife’s salary so it makes sense for her to be a stay at home mum

Some of these negros are just clueless

Lol 🤣 but black people with dual citizenship can also call on the embassy, no?

Nope. I don't want to be bothered with paperwork in Nigeria, I just want my visit to be as stress free as possible if I'm going for a holiday
lol yes you can but it’s a mentality. Can you be bothered to be dragging upanda with immigra? And be calling embassy and they will say ok we would send someone over in like 5 hours time etc etc and then you will have to sit and wait for 5 hours etc etc when you can just give the idiot 5 pounds and be out lol. It’s a mindset. Oyinbo have that it’s my right mindset so they will drag with you for hours if need be. So these guys don’t even bother to extort them.

Trust me a trip to the passport office will be part of your naija adventure and sightseeing. It’s fun. And with a bribe of 50k you will get it on the spot. As opposed to 250 pounds. Buttttt 250 can be chicken change if you are getting it like that so I get it. It’s all about convenience. 250 is not too much to pay for your convenience llol

Hmmm....did I waste my time renewing my passport? But to get a visa would cost more

I thought they strike gold with white people

At the time I renewed my British passport it was about £75, and the Nigerian passport cost me about £250.. obviously it would be cheaper in Nigeria... forgot about that. Still happy I did it here though

How did you open bank accounts and stuff w/o a Nigerian identity? Do you have nin?
oh they gave me a BVN when they saw my Nigerian visa and with the BVN I opened bank accounts. The NIN is something that happened further down the line. When I came in all they wanted was BVN . The bank, zenith, applied for that for me and gave it to me. Bank verification number

yeah getting that Nigerian visa was like 160 pounds if I remember correctly so yeah it’s very costly but it’s better that you renewed your passport than having to get a visa all the time to enter naija

Strike gold with white people ? You must be kidding lol. They strike gold with black people. White people don’t take shit. They are very principled. They will just call their embassy on the spot who will then call our government and the custom or immigration guy will be sacked . They don’t mess with white people lol

British passport now is roughly 100 pounds . Oh ok the Nigerian passport is 250 pounds ? You should have done it in Nigeria. Way cheaper

Never owned one?😮 it's much easier if you have it, I'm certain you were scrutinised for having a foreign passport at the airport.

Lol..to renew a British passport, they don't need your presence at all...and it's all done within 2 weeks, Nigeria still has to catch up

I wonder why it's more expensive to own a Nigerian passport than a British one?
oh I wasn’t scrutinized at all. It was easy. They just let me sail through but in my defense I was coming in with a white friend so maybe they didn’t want to disgrace themself. They just took one look at the both of us and waved us through. Didn’t even ask for any bribe. The only person I paid in that airport was the trolley guy.

Yeah I don’t know the procedures about renewing a Nigerian passport. Like I said earlier this would be my first one but I reckon if you had connections you can renew it in a day with some bribe lmaoo

I don’t know if a Nigerian passport is more expensive, in fact it is not. If I remember correctly a British passport is like 100 pounds. That’s 120 thousand Naira. A Nigerian passport is 26000 Naira. So the Nigerian passport is five times cheaper

oh it’s not a case of renewing. I have never had one before. This is going to be my first ever time and let me tell ya it would be a thing of pride to have that green Pali. Truthfully though the passport office in ikoyi was well organized and efficient. I was very surprised. No delays and the staff were very professional and efficient and the AC in the place was strong. The one in London ? Wasn’t so bad to be honest with you . It’s like you have too high standards lol.
