I brought down those threads you created looking for a company that will sponsor you abroad.

If you want to get scammed or looking for a company that sponsors a stranger abroad look elsewhere, such thread will not be allowed here.

Having a cofounder team with complementary skill sets is a boon for a startup. Different backgrounds also translate to different viewpoints, leading to different ideas. The work also flows quicker and more smoothly as every cofounder will handle departments according to his skills.

Anyone who does not know this is a profound ignoramus, no ifs or buts. Those who know it but intentionally dissuade or discourage others from doing it are wicked and barbaric. There are many of them here, from Redsun (who has been in the UK for donkey years) to Sukkot (who is a British citizen) to 1Sharon (another British citizen) to my favourite - Dasparrow - a woman who loathes Nigerians and in particular Nigerian men. Hers is even crueller as she relocated from the west to Nigeria, hated what she experienced and fled to a no-name country in Central America. What does she do on Nairaland? Internet Witchcraft! She dissuades and tells young and ambitious Nigerians not to relocate abroad. What she does not say is that she has not let go of her European citizenship. Another one is EgunMogajji, who is an American citizen and a proud serial divorcee that stays somewhere in Ibadan and married a 20-something year lady. He constantly preaches that you should not bother having a second passport, but he has one and even his first daughter studies at Stanford as an American citizen. What about Nairaland's richest brostitute? Seatrade, who with his previous moniker, mocked diasporans only for him to create a thread disguising that his friend wants to know how to obtain American citizenship. https://www.nairaland.com/6742025/citizenship-investment-canada-usa#105611566 No wonder he is lurking around Covenant University or Babcock to grab a girl from an upper-middle-class family (hoping that she is a dual citizen), even though his character befits women from IMSU or Oko Polytechnic.





Additionally, THERE IS NO NIGERIAN ELITE WHO DOES NOT HAVE A SECOND CITIZENSHIP OR CHILDREN ARE PREPPED TO OBTAIN ONE Apart from skit makers who are new in the game, no notable comedian's wife birthed in Nigeria. ALL gave birth in the US, thereby making their children Americans. The same applies to musicians. It is the reason I am pissed when wicked misfits constantly vagabond this section opening their smelly mouth waaaaaa chanting that young people should not japa. You mean like Akin Alabi who hustled in the UK? Don Jazzy, who did the same? DBanj, whose dad is an ex-military officer that did the same? Mike Adenuga, who rode taxi in the US? What about Banky W whose mom worked in ExxonMobil, gave birth to him in the US and he studied at Corona Schools, the same school Osibanjo studied? Only for him to come and lie that his parents struggled, which is why they rented a flat in Yaba during the '70s. You mean the same Yaba that was home to the then middle class? Or him being a Nigerian-American married to Adesuwa, a British-Nigerian? Or his friend, the pilot, a Canadian-Nigerian who is married to Toolz, daughter of the Oniru of Lekki, who is a British-Nigerian? Or her friend Stephanie Coker, a British-Nigerian, who is married to the younger brother of the co-founder of GTB, who too is a British-Nigerian? Or Mo Abudu who is a American/British-Nigerian and son studied at Duke University? Or her erstwhile employee presenter Zainab Balogun, another British-Nigerian who married an American-Nigerian? Or the other erstwhile employee I used to crush on - Cynthia Kamalu, who married a Nigerian-American? Or Iyin Aboyeji, whose wife is an American citizen, and father worked at ExxonMobil and whose sister studied in the UK? Or Hakeem-Bello, whose daughter studied at Harvard and Stanford and ALL members of his family are dual nationals between the UK and US? Or Nnamdi Kanu who is a British-Nigerian? Or Sunday Igboho who is a German citizen or Sowore who is an American citizen?

C'mon!

There is no Nigerian elite, dead or alive, that does not or did not have a second passport to ease travel whether for leisure or business or academic-related events. I have stated it recently that visa free access is hinged on wealth not race. The reason the olodos on Twitter think it is race is that sub-Saharan Africa is home to the largest number of black people, and as a result, many black Africans are denied visas. Even at that, citizens from countries like Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and even far-flung black-dominated places like Bahamas, Bermuda and Barbados don't face similar scrutiny as their contemporaries in sub-Saharan Africa. Have you seen African Americans complained that they were denied visas because of their skin colour? Are they not black people too? But woke olodos on Twitter don't understand simple economics, the reason they spend time chanting and whining that bOrDeRs ArE rAcIsT. As if they would offer unfettered access to a poor black stranger instead of Elon Musk. Except you want to have hope that sub-Saharan countries would be as rich as Malaysia before her citizens begin to enjoy visa-free travel.

As for returning to Nigeria, trust me, many would return. One reason many would return is the weather. The new wave of emigres lived in the tropics for at least 25 years, so it won't be easy to adjust to temperate climates. My friend in Canada complains about the same thing. She told me clearly "once I attain citizenship status and the passport, G59, I am out of this place". Again, the vast majority of Nigerian elites once worked or studied abroad. From Tayo who is Paga CEO (has American citizenship) to Segun Agbaje who also studied and worked in the US to Emi Lokan and many many others. What about Okechukwu Enelamah who studied Medicine at UNN and did his MBA at Harvard? He co-founded African Capital Alliance, Nigeria's first private equity firm. Ibe Kachikwu nko? Studied Law at UNN and went to Harvard for his MSc and PhD? There is even one I used to admire who studied at Cambridge University and started his consulting business in Lagos. He, too, just like his contemporaries, is a British-Nigerian. One might say Northern elites don't do the same. That is a very big fat lie! Which child of any Northern elite studied in Nigeria? Sanusi's children studied in the UK ditto for El-Rufai's. What about Buhari? He claimed to be poor before the 2015 elections. However, ALL his children studied in the UK. Do poor people's children study in the UK? Esp when they did not attend top schools that have lot of scholarships to offer? Let's not even go to the south, where Amaechi's son is in Canada or Okorocha's son who finished from University of Manchester?

The effects of having a second and, most importantly, a strong passport cannot be over-emphasised. To buttress it, before 2010, Nigerians could travel to 76 countries without obtaining a visa. Ten years later, it plunged to 46. What do the next ten years hold? DrCheif on Twitter narrated his experience when he visited one African country. Upon the usual show me your passport, he showed the official a Nigerian passport. Even though it is visa-free for Nigerians (e fit don change sef), the official dilly-dallied. As time was going, Cheif brought out his American passport and showed the official. What did the official say? "You should have brought this out in the first place". Today, Cheif stays in Ghana. I have met a Belgian-Swiss missionary who has only applied for visa once and that was when she visited Benin Republic. She was confused about how to apply for a visa because prior to that, she had never done it. Also, the woman who owned the travel agency I bought my ticket through has travelled to over 80 countries, including places where black people are very few. Her parents migrated to study in the US, gave birth to her and siblings and returned to Nigeria. Today, all her siblings are American citizens and ditto their children. But she stays in Nigeria because she likes it there. No harm feelings. However, unlike the witches and wizards here, she encourages young people to do the same and take advantage of the opportunities. In life, always seek for more options as those with options have more opportunities. There are even foreign politicians that are tri-nationals.

Also, the aspect of entrepreneurship sef. Except for very few folks who are mostly in tech (most studied in top schools or had rich backgrounds), the most successful entrepreneurs started their businesses after working for some years. It is only in Nigeria I have read that young graduates should start their businesses even if it is POS or cyber-cafe or selling 1kg of gas. Elsewhere, young people work in companies (co)-founded by people who have worked and honed their skills elsewhere. That is how it is done. While there, you gain expertise, knowledge and network. You can decide to return to Nigeria, nobody will stop you. The Paga CEO did it after studying at two top universities, the most recent being Stanford for his MBA. PayStack folks worked for almost ten years before setting up theirs. But the online miscreants in the programming section believe anyone who knows how to type "Hello Word" should open a tech firm to create the next fAcEbOoK. Bloody olodos! Nevertheless, very few people will become entrepreneurs as there are more employees everywhere than employers, regardless of what the ignoramuses who learnt elementary economics by standing near the windows during their SS1-SS3 stages parrot. So, in the nearest future, many of your bosses will be those who did Express Entry or submitted Proof of Funds

Britishpea:
Is this how you counter a post? So much English yet with incoherent combinations. Next counter a post with fact on why you think the post is wrong by citing who you think has been the best.

Useless youths everywhere that are always talking for talking sake and not for comprehensive constructive incites, while one learns nothing from their jargons.

Hw can anyone who isn't a lying sycophant use the word 'extraordinary' (in a good sense) in the same sentence with Buhari? It is an insult to true extraordinary Nigerians distinguishing themselves everyday, despite hardship and odds stacked against them.

Progressivegee:
Hello guys, after officially sending my resignation and sighting issues of bullying, harassment and threat by the company, I got this mail from the MD who is the husband of the madam. I have gone through the contract over again and the only clause that talks about 4 weeks notice prior to resignation is if the employee has passed the 3 months probation and I am only 2 months old with the company.

How should I respond?

I am not surprised at your comment because this is how Africans and blacks behave. They do not believe in any services offered by their fellow blacks here; rather they believe in the quackery services offered to them by Indians, Parkistani and the Easter Europeans. So keep up with this mentality and lets see how it will lead to the growth of the black community in the UK.

Anyway, for your information, I teach and coach tax to candidates preparing for ALL the tax exams of the professional bodies that you have mentioned. I live and breathe UK tax laws- even corporation tax laws which are very complex let alone individual income tax laws.

I also have an interesting disruptive project on tax coming up in partnership with a UK University in Birmingham to deliver a Robotic tax Advisor that will interact with taxpayers and advise them as well as file taxes o their behalf autonomously. This project is receiving the backing of HMRC. Yes, is proudly Black project- an initiative that will make human tax advisors jobless as it will use Artificial intelligence to deliver impeccable personalized tax experience and services at a fraction of the cost charged by human advisors.

And maybe the white tax advisors you worship and celebrate, I sat in the class with them to study finance in the UK during my Master degree here and achieved a record high GPA that now white man or Asian has achieved at Birmingham University Finance Department. I also passed my Chartered Institute of Management Accountants CIMA professional exams in a single siting without a re-sit.

Also, you attacked my accounting body in the UK which shows real ignorance on your part of accounting profession in the UK. Please follow this link https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/professional-oversight/oversight-of-the-accountancy-profession to check on the website of accounting industry regulatory agency in the UK called Financial Reporting Council (FRC); you will see the list of accounting bodies in the UK whose members are authorized to practice accountancy in the country. My professional Accounting Body, CIMA UK is No. 3 on the list.

I would have kept quiet at your missiles of vilification, but I was compelled to correct this malicious de-marketing to keep the records straight. And, sometimes it is good to blow your trumpet, so I have blown mine. Thank you for creating the stage for me to let people know more about me on this platform.

och12:
I beg to disagree. ICAN and ACCA are both backed by the IFRS standards.
Accounting/ Auditing in Nigeria is same as it is in the UK, so you need not have an ACCA qualification to get a good, full time accounting/ audit/ finance related offer in the UK. An ACCA qualification can be an added advantage, but with your ICAN, you will also be eligible for same opportunities.

As a result of high oil prices which the Buhari's administration has squandered by allowing oil theft. Remember, oil constitutes at least 75% of foreign exchange revenue. The only thing that can save (not increase as hooge debts have to be repaid) the country's forex is Dangote's refinery refining and exporting petroleum products.

ahiboilandgas:
NNPC have a 20 percent stake . Oil will both be sold locally in Naira and export in USD. The refinery is not for Nigeria alone . 60m pms 10m Atk 10m AGO . Like the fertilizer plant we local dealer pay in Naira in DFL @17000 for urea while they export to America and Brazil @ 50m USD per shipment he has ship 22 trip to us ,Brazil and Cameron .while the local dealer have bought 30bn Naira worth of urea . Ships that bring in raw sugar are clean up loading with urea for export . The refinery is projected to earn 6 bn USD per annum via export. The fertilizer section has earned around 1bn usd since starting . He sell around 24k Naira to export buyers via dangote jetty.

Gerrard59:
They will return to Nigeria to work as expats. Many people returned to Nigeria during Jonathan's era, some of whom later voted for Buhari. Foolish people, anyway.

BTW, judging from oil has been siphoned and the insecurity coupled with massive debts, I don't see how that is possible. Nigeria does not need a strong naira. This fascination you people have with the naira being as strong as the Swiss Franc is amusing. Korea, Japan and China ensure their currencies are below the dollar, you want the naira to be like the Singaporean dollar without considering the size of the economy and population.
