So @OP
Apart from getting married to an Irish citizen, are you trying to say that there are no other means of converting your tourist visa to a long stay visa or work visa?
Like I learnt in some European countries, you will have to pay and do all formal registration and documentation. plz kindly help verify this. Thanks.

Don't be deceived about pay to do formal registration. You can try work visa

Omooba77:
Most times, Nigerians are accused of having unusual foreign taste. They are accused of preferring foreign things over local things just because they believe that foreign things give them an air of wealth, class and distinctiveness. This was eternally etched in music by Bright Chimezie in his song, which earned him the soubriquet ‘Okoro Junior’.

In that song, Bright Chimezie laments that he went to a discotheque and requested an African song, but the other guests laughed at him and called him Okoro Junior, a denigrating moniker used to describe a rustic Igbo man.



Nigerian university degrees used to be rated highly before the mid 1980s. Now, they have lost their prestige. Parents now do everything possible to ensure that their children receive university education outside the country.

A similar thing has happened in the health sector. Nigerians — especially the political leaders — prefer to receive medical treatment abroad than in their own country, no matter the degree of the illness. It now seems that only the poor seek medical treatment locally.

Also, until the mid-1980s Nigerian stadiums used to be filled to the brim every weekend when Nigerian football clubs played matches. Also when the national football team played any match at the National Stadium, a pin dropped in the stadium would find it hard to hit the ground. Nigerian boxers also attracted huge crowds anytime they had a fight in the country. Today, the Nigerian Football League is completely ignored by most Nigerians. Anybody who identifies with the local league is viewed as “a bush person.”

Most Nigerians feel good flaunting their love for an English football club or a European football club. Some even go overboard by killing fans of other clubs when their favourite clubs lose, even though most of them have never left the shores of Nigeria or been to Europe to have any links with the club they are getting paranoid about.

Fortunately, there are some industries or sectors that attract patronage from Nigerians more than their foreign counterparts. Two decades after Bright Chimezie’s song, there was a turnaround in the Nigerian music industry. Nigerian music became the toast of Nigerians. Today, at parties or on air, disc jockeys can play two hours of music featuring only Nigerian music. Even companies that used to bring in American musicians and other non-Nigerian musicians as the main attractions at big events have stopped doing so. Different musical TV channels sprang up with a focus on Nigerian music.

In the movie industry, Nigerian homes and cinemas were dominated by Western and Asian films. There were no Nigerian films until 1992 when NEK Videos produced “Living in Bondage” in Igbo language. That transformed the Nigerian film industry, virtually knocking out foreign movies from Nigerian homes.

Similarly, when it comes to electric cables, made-in-Nigeria cables are preferred to foreign ones, although they are more expensive. Those who are building their residential houses or business premises insist on Nigerian cables, because they are durable and safer. Those who are building for tenants most times resort to imported cables because they are cheaper.

In recent years, Nigerian artisans are losing out to those from Togo and the Republic of Benin. This occurs mainly in the building of houses: masonry, plastering, tiling, fixing of POP, plumbing, and painting. The argument is that when these West African neighbours of ours set blocks, walls are straight and the finishing is clean. When they plaster a house, the window and door edges are as straight as a ruler, while the walls look as if they have been painted. Also, when they lay tiles, they are straight and neatly done. This is said to contrast with the work of their Nigerian counterparts, which is poorly finished: the walls are not straight; the floors are uneven; the window edges are jagged; there are paint stains on windows and doors. Definitely this does not apply to every Nigerian artisan. However, because many Nigerian artisans display this trait, that image is rubbing off on others.



The summary is that Nigerian artisans are not well trained. Most of those who work as craftsmen learn by working under someone and watching the person. There is no specified length of period for this apprenticeship. It can be one year or two years or more. It can even be as short as three months. An apprentice can fall out with the master and leave to start his own practice. What he needs is someone to give him something to do. There are no standards.

Unlike in most West African countries, where there are functional technical schools for the training of young people in different skills, there are no functional technical institutes owned by Nigeria. The ones that exist have become mere certificate-awarding institutions. There is more emphasis on the theoretical aspect of the work than on the practical aspect. That is why one would graduate from XYZ Technical School or XYZ College of Technology or XYZ Institute of Technology without acquiring any skills in any field. The few functional institutes are owned by individuals or private organisations.

It is, therefore, regrettable that in a country that is facing outrageously high rate of poverty caused by high unemployment rate, citizens of neighbouring countries are coming in and taking away the few available jobs. And fellow Nigerians are not bothered about giving these jobs away because they are more concerned with the quality of the work done for them than with the patriotism of patronising their compatriots. Nobody can blame them for that. Nobody will willingly board an aeroplane that is flown by a mediocre pilot or allow himself to be operated upon by a mediocre surgeon because of patriotism.

No matter how hard things become in Nigeria, people will live in houses, drive cars and motorcycles, wear clothes and shoes, use phones and laptops. These houses need to be built by human beings — the construction of these houses will involve masonry or bricklaying, carpentry or upholstery, roofing, fixing of doors and windows, tiling, plumbing, and painting. People who spend money building these houses will like to get their money’s worth.

Although there are ready-made clothes, many people still want to have their clothes sewn to their taste, design and preferred style. They need creative designers and tailors who pay attention to details. Cars, phones and computers will have to be serviced and repaired. The owners do not want these possessions to be destroyed in the name of repairing them. And when they are satisfied, they stick to the person they know and also recommend the person to members of their families and friends.

The federal and state governments should not just fold their arms and pretend as if this is not a problem. The emphasis on the acquisition of degrees has not helped Nigeria in anyway. There is a need to pay serious attention to technical education and create clear standards and certification for artisans in all sectors. That will help to boost the skills of Nigerians in that segment of the economy. It will also equip our youths with the capacity to create jobs rather than looking for jobs.

There are millions of jobs available in these fields. But those who want to take advantage of them must be properly trained; they must pay attention to detail; they must be patient and humble; they must be honest; and they must treat their jobs with seriousness. If that does not happen, our better trained West African neighbours will continue to take away jobs that should be ours, even in our own country.

Maybe becsuse they are more skillful and professional when it comes to handy jobs.
Concerning our education, you need to blame our government for that. At times teachers are not pay for months. How do you expect such teacher to deliver? Also most of our teachers are corrupt.....giving marks for sex or money

JerryDM1:
Hello house! Thanks for this trend.
I've been trying to gather up my documents to submit for Turkey tourist visa, but I'm reconsidering it because of low jobs pay in Turkey.

Now I want to ask, are there good jobs in Ireland? What is the least job pay I can get in Ireland and what's the process for Resident Permit?

THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN

You cannot work with visitor Visa get that straight. Under the table job is not regulated so they can pay you whatever they like. The so call under the table job is not easy to get.

slimdaddy2822:
Hello gurus
Am new here and I would appreciate you guys respond
If I secure my tourist visa from Nigeria to Ireland hope once I reached Ireland is it sure I can convert the tourist visa to work permit or any other permit to stay in Ireland.

Tough but not impossible. You can change your status through marriage to a citizen.

There was a mild drama yesterday as a fan wanted to take a photo with Kizz Daniel after a show in Turkey.

Kizz Daniel on noticing the man, alighted for his car and blatantly refused even to the extent it became violent.

NameChecker:
When you consider the amount they would have paid on :-
1. Insurance
2. Property Tax (on the car)
3. Vehicle maintenance
4. Vehicle documentation
5. Car Park Fee (You don't park executive cars in common car lots)

You will conclude that they are broke.

Property tax on a car? Never heard that before

You can get Visa without travel history. The chance of getting Visa if you have travel history is higher than those without travel history.

Thursday Heavy Rain: Six People Dead As A Result of Chinese Company Negligence.

Cranium X, Abeokuta.

Thursday 5:00pm: The rain started with tiny showers before gushing out in heavy torrents. Most plans were cancelled, people took shelter in their homes. Somewhere in Adatan, a suburban area of Abeokuta, about 5 unsuspecting passenger (according to speculation by eye witnesses) journeying in a Toyota Corolla miscalculated and ran head-ons into a ditch.

How It Happened?

The driver thought it was just the usual pothole, not aware he's about to plunge into a “fish pond”. The gully was made by a Chinese construction company CCECC which was commissioned by the state government to construct motorable roads and bridges. The big mistake was that the gully was left uncovered even after the contractor went to work on another site. On getting to the site of the event this morning, our correspondent tried to find a caution sign or anything that would alert incoming traffic of the danger ahead but found none. Mistake Number Two.

The Impact?

Friday 7:00am: People woke up to the sight of a dead body at the bank of the new pond—made by rain water and a forgotten gully with a blue corolla sinking away with only the boot in sight. Approximately six lives were lost just from an avoidable oversight.

May God save us from avoidable dangers. God will not save us except we take action to avoid predictable disaster.

The Nigeria U20 team have refused to leave their hotel in Poland after crashing out of the U20 World Youth Championship in the round of 16 following their 1-2 loss to Senegal yesterday, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Players of the team insist on payment of their bonuses else they won’t leave the hotel and the row has already claimed their flight home.

They were suppose to have leave this morning but the players refuse to leave the hotel, hence missed the flight back home despite pleas from team officials.

Media officer of the team Andrew Randa could not be reached to comment on the issue but a backroom staff confirmed the row but said it will be resolved amicably ‎in the coming hour.

Owngoalnigeria.com will continue to monitor proceedings.

Hello everyone, Please there is this stamp in u.k visas that they wrote British embassy some of them are not so clear in visas but you will see it's there if you look it well. Want to ask if it as to be in all visas or it's not a must for it to be there or it doesn't mean if its not there. Please I would like those that gave been given visas to put me through. Thanks

That is the Visa seal. In 2015 my wife was not allowed to check-in at Lagos airport because that seal not affixed on her visa. She went back to embassy the following day to get it stamped. The mistake was from Embassy.
Your own case might be different because you are dealing with agent. My wife never used Visa agent

My wife submitted her visa application and also did her biometrics on 21st of May.
