Travel › Re: At 38, What Are My Chances If Relocate Abroad? by WeirdAlien: 9:30am On Oct 27, 2023*

Too late for where?

With your web design skills, you'll make shortage of occupation list. Starting salary for inexperienced graduates is around £26k annually. There are high prospects for you!
UK employers value experience more than certifications. You don't need to have a UK degree or certificate to get web development jobs. You must demonstrate you have handled production level projects, worked with teams and overcame unexpected challenges along the way. Age is not a barrier in UK if you have experience.
All you need to do is - whatever you know, know it very well. Build your CV to showcase your experience.

PremiumTech:
I feel it is too late if I travel to the UK or the Netherlands in search of greener pastures.

Don't mind those people discouraging you - they have not been outside Nigeria.

My advice -
Let your wife use any work sponsored visa (care/support, teaching, catering, etc) and you be the dependant with the kids. There's sponsorship for dev jobs too, but they're mostly institutions that want you to be in the UK already.
There's a whole lot of job options for you here (contract, permanent, remote). Japa is expensive now, especially due to exchange rate but you won't regret it. Don't wait. It gets more difficult and expensive with time.

Politics › Re: Prophecy About Naira Getting Strong Again. by WeirdAlien: 9:28am On Oct 27, 2023

There is currently no economic reality that can bring the exchange below N500. Don't deceive yourself, except there is a serious natural disaster or intense war involving the US and OPEC countries respectively.

Naira is currently like an almost emptied bottle of wine filled with water. You can't hope it will someday taste like the original wine by romancing the bottle.

There was no need to even start this project in the first place.

At a point of huge borrowing to pay salaries we couldn't have afforded an airliner.
Besides, even if it did kick off, it is meant to fail like the last one did. We haven't solved the problem that killed the old Nigerian Airways - corruption!
The new railway services are headed for the same fate.

Romance › Re: Why Is It Difficult To Become Friends With Your Ex by WeirdAlien: 8:28am On Oct 25, 2023

Immaturity.

You don't have to end a relationship with a fight or bitterness. You can come to terms with your partner that you guys are not compatible and end it amicably.
But when one or both of you are not emotionally matured, you will become bitter enemies after breakup, or end up cheating on your current partners.

Romance › Re: My Princess Is Gone. Naija why?? by WeirdAlien: 5:56pm On Oct 24, 2023

Sorry bro.
Never try to persuade anyone not to travel, so far they're using the right means.
You should consider following suit too.
At this point, I would advise anyone who has the means, think carefully before you decide japa is not your best option.

Culture › Re: Its Been Long Since I Saw This Held In Lagos. Has It Stopped? by WeirdAlien: 5:13pm On Oct 19, 2023*

Looking carefully at the costumes, EYO masquerades have "White man" written all over them.

* The hat is certainly of European origin.
* The emaculate (bleached) white fabric was imported. Local cotton cannot be sparkling white.

It's just celebrating the white man's culture.

That makes every Israeli a bonafide legit target.

They need to be in active duty and be armed at the time of attack.
Save the children, adolescents, elderly and disabled.

As our CDS once said NYSC members are reserve soldiers. That makes you also a bonafide legit target.

Because you did NYSC after school, now imagine you are gunned down by Niger soldiers in your home, while reading comments on Nairaland.

If you're not earning 7 digits in Nigeria. You're at risk of becoming poor sooner or later.

So it is Breeze he will use to invest in himself right.

It seems many of you usually type from your anus.

The No.1 problem of most nigerians is Financial Issue. Get this into your skull.

If you have problems understanding English language, you shouldn't be thinking with your anus.
Invest in yourself - do you know what that means? I am talking about self development, Fishbrain.

I asked him to make himself better mentally and spiritually. Does he need money to pray and meditate?
Many ways to find free books online to read and expand his knowledge base in his chosen occupation. Many free YouTube videos to learn diverse skills.

Despite financial issues many spend time and data watching comedy skits instead of building themselves.
And I wasn't talking to you by the way.

Romance › Re: I Am Idle, Lazy And I Carry Olosho. My Life Is Meaningless by WeirdAlien: 7:23pm On Oct 13, 2023

Just get something doing.
Many see unemployed period as idle time. NO!
This is the opportunity to achieve self development, in your chosen occupation, mentally and spiritually (whatever your religion is).
By the time you get a job or hustle to do, you should have become a better person than you are today, in many ways. Invest in yourself at this moment, you'd be glad you did.

Scam.
So when you achieve 100% they will say it was only 20% of their expectations? What are the hard lines?

That's an irresponsible employer. Better spend your time and effort marketing your own personal business. Pay yourself all the rewards.

First
Sex with olosho is never satisfying.
It's the most elusive. It is shallow. How much chocolates can satisfy your hunger? They're lovely in your mouth but once you swallow them that's it.

As long as you patronise them, you will keep wanting them more.

You as a Nigerian, how fluently can you speak your local language? This is what should be your real concern.
If you pass WAEC or NECO without cheating, then your English is good enough.

Politics › Re: Here Is What Lord Lugard Had To Say About Hausa, Yoruba And Igbo by WeirdAlien: 10:45am On Oct 05, 2023

Rostikol:
You are very stupid.

Did it ever occur to your thick skull why exactly we should believe a SINGLE WORD spoken about us by people who invaded our land, mass murdered our ancestors, looted our resources, and then found ways to justify their atrocities?

Your ancient treasures which they STOLE after SHOOTING DEAD your ancestors, sit in their BARBAROUS museums in LONDON TODAY - the same people whose 'Lugard' is telling YOU what is supposedly ''wrong'' with YOU. Not with them, but YOU.

And you are accepting it.

Can't you see you are stupid?

It is a known fact that empty heads speak loudest. And that is why you degrade to "argument against the man" in attempt to drive in a fallacy.
The day a mad man realizes he is mad he becomes well. That day has not come for you yet.

Was it not African kings and warriors that made slave trade to thrive by continuously selling their brothers in exchange for firearms, fabrics and mirrors??
Did kings not betray other kings for the white man to run their armies over? For perks!
You can conquer armies and kings but you can't successfully rule over unwilling people. Read why Afghanistan wasn't successfully colonized. Read the Indian history too. Compare what is wrong with Africa.

The true failure is the man who blames another man for making him fail.
Since the Brits left totally in 1963 what did we achieve as a nation? We plunged into civil war (back to square one), and then decades of endless tribalism and nepotism without any development. Which even gets worse recently.
The country is retrogressing and what everyone does is to rant "Yoruba" and "Ipob" and "Aboki". My tribe must be president, my cousin must be senator. The governor must come from my local govt. MOST FAIL TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
But all you want to do is blame the white man for your woes.
Take responsibility for your life and country, Slowpoke.

Listen carefully to "see you when you get there" by Coolio.

Like it or not. Insult if you like.
There's a reason Africa doesn't grow, and it's not because of colonialism. Africa is underdeveloped because of the shortsightedness of the typical African, who doesn't see beyond his/her personal prosperity and that of the immediate family. That is the only political ideology that sells in Nigeria. "Favour me and my family"
Lord Lugard recognized this over a century ago. Yes, he judged you accurately!
