Disclaimer: I’m not “attacking you”. Just sharing knowledge and hoping to learn too.

Africa’s predicament has nothing to do with this. Maybe a negligible amount. Hear me out.

This Africa you see is truly the raw material of the world. Europe, Asia and North America depend heavily on it. They will never let it go. They will never let it have the right leaders. The ones that go against them will get toppled or worst, killed.

Then there’s the IMF debt strategy and the so called aide and “poverty alleviation”. Look at China and it’s low-key moves in Africa right now. They wouldn’t even use local manpower. They’ll import their workers too.

Look at our school curriculum and the entire educational infrastructure. How are we to compete?

The greatest trick was making use believe it’s our fault all along. “You are corrupt and stupid” Blame yourself. Divert your attention from the fact that for every barrel of crude oil, we get very little proceeds back. Tons of raw materials leave the shores of Africa for shikini money. They need it that cheap.

Major industrialisation will not be allowed, least our eyes open and we realise the potential of what we have. A nation can only rise above and meet today’s standards through industrialisation. Manufacturing what they use.

Well look around Africa na. Unrest, dictatorship and famine. Nothing tangible is working. Shey wen you have constant electricity, water, housing and good healthcare system then you’ll diversify more?

Then enters mass brain drain for greener climes. Leaving Africa worst off.

They install your leaders. Why was Charly in the north at the height of political tension between GEJ and PMB? Yaradua’s death was a huge loss to us because that man wasn’t having it. That was quickly closed off with tensions between Niger delta and the north.

There’s money in chaos. Everyone is out to grab for himself. Get into naija politics and it’ll be well revealed. Nobody dey run anything. It’s money to share they’re all after.

It’s not our fault. There’s powers preventing us from rising above. For a minute, imagine this was naija here. You realllllllly think I’ll up and leave when my naira is the highest currency in the world?

How will I convince them that I’m a Nigerian holding a foreign passport? Travel with my birth certificate? National ID? I mean how will this work?

I rather travel with expired Nigerian passport and face them when I get to the airport. I can’t renew it because of Covid-19

Normally, you’re only required to state any refusals/immigration issue/s you’ve had in the last 10 years.

MsChidi:

Hello House,

I am thinking of relocating to the UK with my wife via a Tier 4 (work and study) visa.

Please from experience, what advice can be given on the best location to study/reside as I will be working to support the family while she is studying?

Because this location determines the availability of jobs and getting employment.

Although she will also do some menial jobs with the leftover of the 20hrs given to her.

UPDATED POST

Hello everyone, I hope that you are fine even during these unprecedented times. I wish to inquire about renewing my Nigerian Passport in the UK which will expire by July later this year. Without mincing words, getting first-hand information online for this has been very daunting. I will be grateful if anyone could provide his/her Passport renewing experience. I know that there is an ongoing restriction all over the UK, but I want to make plans for next month and I hope that I can renew the passport 6 months before it expires without stress. I look forward to reading from you all. Thank you for your time and esteemed consideration.

PtBlank:
Hello people, is it advisable to come to the UK with cash or better to put it on a card? Kindly advise

Chreze:
Yeah, I have google Zara near me and the open ones. I just wanted to know if there are other similar to Zara that are not popular but also have good stuffs. I like your hidden reply to the question. Please if you know any so that there can be multiple options for us, especially for our little man. I went to shop grocery at Asda and saw they sell clothes upstairs, prices were about that of Zara but quality not as that. I know people who have been here for years will know those stores that are not so popular but have good stuff especially for kids. I think ours we can get some from Zara and buy more later as we grow in the city.
