Crime › Re: Nigerian Man Arrested In U.S For Attempting To Smuggle Drug Into Prison by TWoods(m): 2:06am On Oct 01
Mr Ademoye became the fourth Nigerian nationals working with the TDCJ charged this year. The Peoples Gazette reported last week that a correctional officer, Eberechukwu Emmanuel, was arrested for allegedly beating his wife during an argument over clothes and hats.

Earlier this month, Oluwayomi Obed Edom was apprehended over alleged synthetic cannabinoid and methamphetamine possession inside a correctional facility.

In May, Ayodele Abiodun Afosi was charged with fleeing the scene of an accident after causing damage. Also, The Gazette reported in July that another correctional officer from the department Bashir Oladimeji Lawal was arrested for alleged public intoxication
These people need to be deported.

ocpaschal:
Hello everyone! I'm new here...

I wish to enquire about the following for UK visitor visa to see my sibling at England;

- Pls what would you advise that I would be to improve my evidence of home ties in Nigeria ? For example, is it advisable to register a solo business name at CAC ahead of time?

- I am single and within my early 30s but I work at a private firm with a monthly salary of 190k. I don't own any business nor landed property.
Pls what further evidence of strong home ties do I have to secure or need in order to improve my UK visitor visa chances?

- What proof of funds amount is required? Can one borrow from bank and keep the account running and active?
This is why visa processes are difficult for Nigerians.

“Every major African declaration should answer a simple question What are we prepared to do if our position is ignored?”

The answer is nothing. African speeches and positions are never taken seriously, even by fellow African countries, and are routinely ignored.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Immigration Laws Target Africans: Why They Fear Africa by TWoods(m): 2:16am On May 13
When an American citizen applies for a visa to visit Europe, the process is largely a formality. When a French citizen flies into Canada, the border is almost a gesture. But when a Nigerian professional, a Ghanaian academic, or a Kenyan entrepreneur applies for a visa to visit those same countries, the process becomes an interrogation. Proof of employment. Proof of property. Proof of family ties. Bank statements going back six months. Letters of invitation. Evidence, essentially, that they intend to return that they are not, in the quiet language of immigration policy, a flight risk.
Which of those are more likely to not return to their home country? Why do we pretend we don’t know what the problem is?

That's why anyone that thinks Nigeria will be "great" a century from now is just having late night orgsam thoughts. You need to look at the young and youthful generation to know the future of a nation. Thoughts like his tells you all you need to know.

I really want the west to keep succeeding, because if they fail, the world will just turn to a shithole because no other civilization will give the freedom the world enjoys today. I wish all western nations can have a Trump
This is all emotional codswallop. You did not address the point at all.

And which countries are responsible for the chaos, poverties, wars in these so-called "ethnicities"? including your country?? This is literally a case of the chicken coming back to roost. We have a lot of self-hating, white-worshipping Nigerians like yourself over here that make people think we have no sense of self-worth as a people. Same America that was literally owned by the same brown-skinned people that you are thrash-talking about, before being stolen by the white in the most violent and atrocious means possible.

And yes, you are a negro! You'd never be white no matter how much you want to be or bleach your skin. I mean this person you are defending wouldn't even see you befitting to piss on.
Aren't we tired of these silly excuses? Shanghai was a dump in 1991; today, no African country comes close to its worst neighborhood.

Travel › Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by TWoods(m): 6:03am On Mar 26
LoverOfLove:
You guys, I'm in some sort of trouble and I need advice.

I applied for a US student visa in both 2024 and 2025 but got denied on both attempts.

Now, the US has banned Nigeria and I don't know how long it will take so I've decided to try Canada PR pathway. The problem now is, during my US student visa application, in order to "package" my application, I wrote there that I work at an organization that I actually don't work in and inflated my salary. I didn't have a job but I was advised that declaring I didn't have a job would lead to an immediate denial. So I inflated everything.

Now, it's haunting me regarding my Canada PR application. I do not intend to claim points for the US work. I currently work as a corp member and the only payment I receive is from the government.

Let me even come out cleaner. I worked at my PPA from January and left this March due to the fact that I wasn't getting paid and transport cost was eating me up. So I got a rejection letter from the organization and currently looking for a new PPA.

I was hoping to use my old PPA to claim point in case I don't get a new PPA till I finish NYSC. I was thinking if I speak to the PPA man, he'll give me a reference letter and the necessary documents I need. But I don't have a payslip or tax slip. For bank statement, payment is only the 77k payment the government paid us.

Lastly, I should mention that the amount I wrote I earn on my US application is quite high 400k+.

[b]I messed myself up. [/b]Experienced and knowledgeable people in the house should help me please.
You didn't mess yourself up. You established that you are a fraud and are still willing to commit fraud to gain an undue advantage. You are part of the problem. No one can help you.
Family › Re: Men That Married A Lady Without Skill Or Education , Share Your Experience by TWoods(m): 8:59pm On Feb 01
laivwire:
Elipheleh, my story is very similar to yours and it's been on for over a decade now.
3rd class, no job, no business. No ambition.
All she wants is a good life and money to spend.... and it is frustrating to say the least.

This is despite the fact that I broke my first true relationship of over 4 years because of this fear. I had seen enough experiences with my uncles to know it's not a good idea. All the wife would care about are her kids, watching Nollywood all day, and wanting the latest items they see on other people they gossip about. I discussed this with my wife before marriage that I do not want a wife like this and she said yes, ok. Only to count several years in marriage and she never stepped out of the house to go work for one day. I've designed CV multiple times and given her money for business. All down the drain because she has no drive to do it.

But I will reecho what honour8 said. I met my wife at a low point in life but ever since, I have found myself in an upward trajectory. Every big project I put my hands into, even though it's quite difficult and takes a long time, eventually turns successful. I previously had a cycle of 3 years of good tidings and by the fourth year I would be expecting some kind of setback but things changed since I met her. She talks about it too.

Now, I'm not so spiritual or anything. I have fought with her countless times and given her several ultimatums in this issue but it's just ingrained in her not to do/want anything other than her current life.

I'm not giving up on her however because even though her inaction has put me in dire straits when it comes to making some big career decisions multiple times, I choose to look at the positives. She's good natured, loves to care for the kids better than anyone else I know and does all housewifely chores gladly. Cook, clean, etc

Besides there are many educated Nigerian couples out there today with only the husband working. Even though the wife wants to work, there's no opportunity. So just manage your accounts and lead your family the best way you can given the situation.
At the end of the day, the highlighted is the most important job any woman can ever have. Your wife does it well, and gladly. Be grateful, many men don't even have that. This distorted idea that your wife is only successful when she is serving another man at work is interesting.

President Tinubu needs to come out and explain, how nd why he gave permission for a foreign governement to strike Nigerian soil.

Was it approved by Nigerian senate ? was Akpabio complicit.

To what goal or aim is the strike on Nigeria suppose to achieve ?

So many questions,I hope due process was obtained.

OP, just so you know, marriage is not by force. A good portion of individuals out there are not married and will never be, and that is OK. If you can find peace in your life as it is today, there is no need or reason to need to change it or feel burdened to add marriage(or even children) to the equation. undecided
I feel you're trying too hard to justify your own life choices.

So when did I said they should ignore it.
If America want to act, they should deal with the whole terrorist in Nigeria, instead of this marginalizing act.
The terrorist are Muslim but they don't kill only christian, that what am trying to tell.
And if you disagree, i don't see myself replying your message, cox even your conscience know the truth.
Period
You should have stopped at the highlighted statement. Once you understand that problem, it is incumbent on muslim leaders to be at the forefront of tackling the problem. Instead, you waffle, claim they don't only kill Christians, and then go to sleep. You are essentially complicit.

America doesn't have to deal with anything... it can simply support the dissolution of the country along geographical lines, and northern muslims can move on and join their arab brothers. Leave the rest of us in peace.

Calling it Christian genocide is misleading..our fight is against insecurity..not each other
The above is the most meaningless statement ever. Our fight is against WHAT insecurity? The inability to be honest about what it is is why we will never stop it.

Deep down, muslims understand the problem. But you tacitly view it as a necessary evil, no different from what Mohammad did in his day. So you pretend not to see it, and then excuse it by hiding it under the banner of "insecurity" as if that fixes the problem.
