 Politics › Re: Why The Iranian Ultimatum For El Zackzacky's Release Must Be Taken Seriously by ttmacoy: 9:59am On Jan 05, 2016 |
Lol and what is that based on? Nigeria isn't part of NATO or does Nigeria have a defence agreement with the US UK Israel or Germany that I don't know about? The US will probably impose sanctions and talk or use Nigeria as another proxy war, but don't expect US boots on the ground in Nigeria. I don't see a war breaking out, more Iran funding and arming Shiite militia in Nigeria, but if a war were to break of we should get help from AU members as nigeria has been active on peace keeping missions in Africa.

He was probably relocated to the UK from Germany by his mother using a visit visa and stayed there since. The UK will not stop you attending free schools as every child is entitled to education but by the time he wants to get into university he will face issues. Please do not mistake this to mean he is legally in the UK. You need to stop looking at this Sentimentally but based on fact and rule of law. He was illegal so staying 20 years means nothing unless he had legally become a resident. On top of that he participated in a group murder which makes him a dangerous and violent criminal in the eyes of the UK government. I'm sorry but legally and based in fact he can be deported. The mother was probably hustling for work as as single parent and lost the son to bad company. Th boy should have appreciated her sacrifice, buckle down and work hard not join gangs and then kill. No sympathy from me. sniperr007: |
| Business › Re: Banking Blues In 2016 by ttmacoy: 9:34am On Jan 05, 2016 |
Enlightening article and spot on about the lazy banking in Nigeria. Sad for the many people who have lost money in banking stocks investing in IPOs at higher prices. Reminds me know the Oando saga and the fact that despite huge losses, 2 rights issue in the past 3 year or so, they are coming with another N80bn rights issue which surprisingly will be over subscribed. I still see significant write downs from Oando on the ConocoPhillips assets so I struggle to see how anyone can justify investing especially considering how diluted their shares will be as they have to issue quite a lot of shares at current low prices to raise the planned 80bn. I am surprised that this is not even being discussed or seem to be an issue at all for Nigerians despite the poor corporate governance being demonstrated. |

I get you, but if he was a legal permanent resident it would be mentioned in the article. Also the guy would say it, but he made no reference to his status and only that he has lived there for 20 years and the UK is all he knows. sniperr007: |

You are right they do not have the credibility to make such demands and it is not the right way as they are trying to incite violence in another country. They tried same with Saudi Arabia over the execution of a Shi'ite prisoner and protests led to an attack on Saudi's embassy which has resulted in Saudi Arabia and it's allies such as Bahrain cutting diplomatic ties. Iran needs to focus on rebuilding it's country after years of sanctions and stop causing trouble. I agree Nigeria should handle this issue delicately to avoid another Boko Haram situation, but Iran should butt out. Bevista: |

If he has legal documents in d UK, he can fight his deportation. That there is the point. How can he have legal documents if he is not a legal permanent resident? Your post said he should be a permanent resident. Is that simply because he has lived in the UK for 20 years? If so then simply living there illegally does not entitle you to permanent residency status or citizenship. Looking at the story he is definitely not a British or German citizen and I also do not think he is a British legal permanent resident so they are within their legal rights to deport him. Even if he was a legal resident it is made clear when you apply that breaking certain rules can result in loss of your residency status and prevent you from attaining citizenship for some time to never, and even after you naturalise, it can still be revoked in extreme cases e.g. people joining ISIS or other acts of terrorism and this is not particular to the UK. The US can revoke your citizenship as well many other countries. This is very rare and only in extreme cases as I said but it can be done. If he is an illegal immigrant in the UK then he really has no case, the British government's responsibility is to protect British citizens. sniperr007: |

Yes they will. The UK has been actively trying to deport EU criminals in the UK and while not always successful due to EU laws which Cameron is trying to renegotiate, they have successfully deported some Polish Lithuanian and other European criminals. Unfortunately Nigeria does not have open border agreement with the UK so he can deported. Stop playing the racist card. Jacko01: 1 Like |

Nowhere does it say he was a permanent resident. You guys keep confusing being in th UK to having the legal right to be there. Even if he was was a legal permanent resident, there are rules which mean certain crimes can still lead to deportation and even extreme crimes such a terrorism can result in revocation of citizenship. Has nothing to do with being black. The boy who was killed was black. sniperr007: 1 Like |

Because he was born in Germany does not automatically mean he is German. He can only be German by birth if at least one of his parents is German and I don't think any of them were. His mother who took him to the UK is also probably an illegal immigrants. Richy4: |
| Crime › Re: Nigerian Killer To Be Deported To Nigera Despite Never Setting Foot Here by ttmacoy: 1:31pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
The boy is neither British nor German so Nigeria cannot resist as he is legally Nigerian. Being born in Germany does not also automatically mean his father was German. May be an illegal immigrants as well. Because he has lived in Britain for 20 years probably illegally doesn't make him British and the British government has been clear that foreign prisoners will be deported. The boy sound very entitled and unremorseful and it would be good if the British government paid Nigeria to put him in kiri kiri to serve his sentence so he can suffer as UK prisons are not really tough. That's why he is still having mouth from prison. Liveair: 3 Likes |

You are right that an employer can make an offer and decide to sponsor her if they want her, but that's just one hurdle as then getting the H1 is quite difficult due to demand outstripping supply every year. I wouldn't have getting a job in the US from Nigeria with the hope of getting a H1 visa as my main strategy to get to the US because chances are very very slim. She can always try of course but she should look at other more viable options such as via F1 or look at Canada and Australia who have more favourable requirements at the moment. cozybunch: |

The is a difference between the visa expiration date and the duration of status. If he has been within the duration of his F1 status then he will be fine even if the visa has expired. If he is outside his duration of status i.e. stopped full time education then he will have issues. cozybunch: |
| Politics › Re: 5 Countries Crushed By Oil Price Collapse - CNN by ttmacoy: 1:03pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
There really isn't anything that hasn't been explained. President Nixon in 1973 promised that America will become oil independent after the oil crisis of 1973 where Arab nations intentionally caused oil shortages to punish the West. Since then America has been investing in technology to harness their own oil reserved aka shale. Obama when he came in also stressed that he would focus on oil independence so I'm not sure what you are talking about as there is no conspiracy against Nigeria. This coupled with slowing demand from China who have driven fuel demand for the past decade caused the slump. Simple demand and supply. You are producing more oil and there is less demand. It's interesting how we are now used to high oil prices and act like it is our right and has always been. Oil sold at $21 just in 2000 and I didn't hear the Chinese or other oil importers shout conspiracy when you were enjoying the oil boom. Now it crashed suddenly there is a conspiracy against Nigeria. As they say what goes up must come down. Oil is a commodity same as wheat and gold and will rise and fall based on demand and supply. meccuno: |

Oposition coming to power has nothing to do with oil price fall. It is very simple, Nigeria missed an opportunity to use the oil boom wisely and judiciously. We didn't use the opportunity to diversify the economy or invest in infrastructure or save for a rainy day. The likes of Dubai used oil funds to develop the country and diversify into tourism, real estate and financial centers. Saudi built a huge reserve to weather low oil prices (over $700bn for about 30 million people while we had under $30 for about 150 million people ). Look at the likes of Norway saving oil funds for future generations, but we choose to steal, squander and waste. khassy: |

The US work permits available are a H1 visa if a company based in the US gives you a job and agrees to sponsor you or a L1 visa if you work for a company in Nigeria with presence in America and they transfer you over. The H1 is very difficult to get as the company must be able to prove they couldn't find an American and also you must meet certain criteria such as minimum salary etc. The worse part of the H1 is it is based on a quota of 65k a year, but for the past few years has always been over subscribed by about 150k plus within a few days so it is based on a lottery among eligible applicants. There is no quota for the L1 visa but you must have worked for the company in your home country for a year I think and they must be willing to transfer you over to their US office. There are other requirements such as demonstrating specialised knowledge etc but the main thing is to get a job with a company willing to transfer you. You can try applying to companies in the US but the chances are slim especially if you do not have solid in demand experience. Another option will be to go to the US to study the apply for graduate roles (depending on your experience level) in the US. You ha more of a chance than applying from nigeria. ugomnaanny: 5 Likes |

All depends on what you want to do. As an accounting graduates if your goal is finance or banking a masters in finance may be a better route than an accounting qualification. I am a n accounting g graduate with CIMA qualification and I work as a consultant where an MBA is more relevant than the accounting qualification. There is no one size fits all answer. kingphilip: |
| Career › Re: Professional Exams Vs Masters Which Is Better? by ttmacoy: 4:44pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
There is no one size fits all. It depends on your chosen career path and your goals. I hear people go on and on about professional certificates but in my opinion many people doing professional certification in Nigeria do not really understand how it works and are just doing it to follow the crowd eg doing certifications with no relevant experience to back it up. This is not the right approach. Professional certifications are designed to complement relevant experience but many people do it because they heard Mr XYZ did ABC and got a job paying xx amount so they rush to do same ignoring the fact the guy probably had considerable experience to back up the certificate. My advise research what is required in your chosen field. A master's degree may be needed at first and then as you have a few years experience consolidate with a professional qualification. In some cases a certification may be required instead of a masters. It's not a case of certificate is better than masters or vice versa. They both serve different purposes. brianromel: 4 Likes |

The video should be posted as we need to start holding people accountable. That is how we will progress as society when people are held accountable and know they must behave and do the right thing to face the consequences. Even the military man should be punished as he has put the military to shame by trying to jump the queue simply because he is in the army. Bullying the people he is sworn to protect.

That's on the assumption they are trying to raise future governors. Politics in Nigeria has nothing to do with intellect or ability but everything to do with connections, allying with corrupt people and being ready and willing to play the game and grease elbows as you move up. I'm sure such schools would rather aim to raise future corporate titans and leaders both home and abroad rather than governors who will taint their name and image when accused of corruption. loshybab: 1 Like |

More often than not yes they can. Obviously not always but there are other advantages to those types of schools aside passing exams. It opens doors socially as well. Should you borrow money to send your child to such schools just to feel among? Capital NO. As I said send tor child to the best you can comfortably afford. agarawu23: |
