The sooner we realise that these foreign embassies are using us to cashout the better for us.

In 2023 about 150,000 Nigerians applied for US Visa and according to the US embassy the application fee is about $185 which is about N305k and only about 5% of the 150,000 people that applied were successful, meaning about 142,000 application were rejected which amounts to just over $26M.

Meaning the US embassy in Nigeria made over $26M in 2023 from rejected Visas alone.

If we had a government, every embassy would be ordered to refund all or 90% of all rejected Visa fees. But here we are, we keep making money for these countries while we're still indebted to them via loans.

I just have to modify to add that in naira that amounts to over NGN43B, that's the allocation of an entire state in a year, and that's for the United States alone, now do your calculation for the UK and others, you'll understand why these people will never allow Nigeria to work.

This is just business for the developed countries while for Nigeria/Africa, it's a sad situation and officially sanctioned by our governments.
IELTS is there also. Nigeria, a Commonwealth nation for that matter.

What is PP?

Private Practice= Becoming a private teacher to students. IF God helps you, it will be a BYE BYE to full time job.

odejimioflagos:
Tinubu already know this. He is working on it.

How can a Proprietoress who was once a teacher in someone's sch boldly tell her staff that their Future end here in her sch, and that the students are now the future. And that the children will be more successful than the teachers? . It tells a lot as to how she sees and perceives her employees and reason she mistreats her staff. She has placed a limit on us that we can't go beyond where we are.

OP, may the Almighty God give you boldness and courage to take your destiny in your hands and get out of that setting latest December 2024.

Mathematics teacher for that matter. All you need is PP for students, you become master of your time. Upgrade to senior secondary/PUTME/SAT curriculum and go into PP..God bless you.

SlavaUkraini:
You are definitely not referring to the Nigerian kind of education.

Of course, I'm referring to Nigeria's education system. It has provided a solid foundation for the many Nigerians who have left this country to excel in different fields abroad.

True words

Joshua 1:8 NLT
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

HOWEVER, as a Christian you need to rely not ONLY on your BRAIN but on the HOLY SPIRIT to enable you think solutions to problems to problems.

SlavaUkraini:
After spending millions on their Education, they graduate and can't find a good job.

And you say that Education is not a Scam ?

Dey play.

Education is not a SCAM...

EDUCATION is not meant to make one a job seeker BUT a creator of jobs - a solutions provider.

EDUCATION is primarily to enlighten and expose one's mind to be creative and to the very unlimited possibilities one has to be a better person in any society one finds oneself.

EDUCATION removes the toga of unrefinement and crudity from one's mind... I'm talking of education that begins from childhood both formal & informal. Many crude and unrefined "educated" people we see today were deprived of the benefits of early education.

EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT.
MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

Suddenly Comptroller General of NIS is from North Central by marriage. A proper Yoruba woman from SW don turn Northerner 😂😂

That has always been the strategy used to deceive people that there's Federal Character in many federal institutions.

Are women allowed to claim their husbands state of origin as their own in Nigeria? NO, when it comes to running for political offices. YES, when it comes to balancing Federal Character equations.

Go to federal universities, I know one very well in the west who balance the equation with southern women married to westerners. So, you see something like Dr/Prof. Chineny Ajiboye - State of origin- Anambra. Federal Character captured

OP, why single out Canaanland? I wonder if FAAN even know the number of those with private airstrips.

The Rep has a point but we all know if they're sincere, focus should be more on the north where gold is being 'smuggled' out by air. How has so-called bandits being receiving arms?

Leaving the real thing to chase shadows by so-called leaders.

Christ4ever:
Nairaland has turned to Gossip mill.

Husband and wife should be be handled at Domestic violence agency.

We don't need it here.

I believe something like this:
NATIONAL COMMISSION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (NCADV)
under the Presidency and to be headed by ..........
36 Commissioners for each state
779 Local governments coordinators

All these blood you people are shedding!

Minister of LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT

Where is the MINISTER FOR POULTRY & FISH FARMERS

Kukutente23:

I have to confess that I thought Tinubu will never reshuffle his cabinet but I was proven wrong.
The funny thing though is that the reshuffle is actually meaningless and even worse than not doing any
Like this man keeps breaking his own records in cluelessness and incompetence
I thought a serious reshuffle is one that requires the appointment of a substantive Minister for Petroleum and sack of the FCT Minister for overheating the polity with his public fisticuffs with a sitting gov. I don't think that level of indiscipline has ever been shown by any government functionary since this republic began.
What the hell is Ministry of Regional Development in a federal state? Is the FG going to now supervise the "development" of each region?
It seems there are now more Ministers of state than substantive Ministers and the ironic thing is that the oil producing Niger Delta no longer has a ministry but cows now have a ministry and a full fledged Minister to booth!!
Mind you Niger Delta is not South South. There are states from SW and SE in Niger Delta commission
Las las Tinubu does not have any serious direction he's going in terms of governance. Everything is politics and political calculations where he is concerned

No Niger Delta Ministry again
And no PIM from the politicians/governors from that region.
I truly pity any Nigerian who sees these people as solution in any way.

I see Northern Naijeria represented. Restructuring loading gradually.

This is not a surprise. The Chinese are an example of a people poised for growth by solving the problems of nations especially AFRICA...

The picture of one of those Chinese supersonic trains during the Beijing Olympics has not left my memory...

AFRICAN POLITICIANS will see this and still ask for locomotive 🚂 railways and trains to be built by CCECC for their countries.

World Bank, IMF et aI are really keen on finishing this country economically. Was it not their policies PMB was following

“If Britain could become a Great Britain with four nations called Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales, Nigeria can also become a Great Nigeria with six nations created from the existing six geopolitical Regions. This is what the Nigerians want now.

After all said and done, Nigeria needs to be restructured with the centre deconstructed for the country to truly make progress. Progress made during the regional systems of government are yet to be surpassed since then

What did PBAT promise this man

Dpharisee:
The first day I met Peter Obi at an event and had the opportunity of having a conversation with him. my instinct told me that this is the kind of man that Nigeria needs to get it right. This was shortly after he completed his term as governor of Anambra State years ago.

The fact remains that many sincere Nigerians knew that Peter Obi, though not a saint by virtue of being part of Nigeria's politics, still remained the best person in terms of mindset to at least if not reverse PMB mess, then reduce it.

I told people then that "the Nigeria PMB was leaving behind would be worsened by BAT or AA..." I believe OBI is prudent & diligent as a person, and even as a governor.

The Nigeria PMB was leaving behind needed a prudent & diligent helmsman not a spendthrift and business as usual politician - EVEN the NIGERIAN Political class knew OBI was a risk to their business as usual, so they didn't support him.

No one needs a degree in political science, theology, business management, to know this, so far you live in the country.

MAY IT BE WELL WITH NIGERIA.

Check out the stevia plant.

According to Wikipedia, it is 50 to 300 times more sweeter than sugar, yet no calories, according to healthline dot com.

Thank you. I will check it out.

The greatest violence facing MANY NIGERIAN WOMEN TODAY is seeing their HUSBANDS and CHILDREN being made to SUFFER untold hardships in the name of economic policies.

WOMEN are the most traumatized when their husbands cannot meet their basic needs, and when their children are suffering.

MAY GOD HELP THE NIGERIAN WOMAN.

Good information OP. Thank you for sharing. Is there any herb that can sweeten or can honey replace sugar?

The whole story is terribly tragic.
Let's learn to place value on our lives as individuals, no matter how difficult it may seem. Lives depend on your being alive than being dead.

And somebody said Gatwick Airport is owned by a NIGERIAN

Nationalised for what

Have government successfully ran any business in nigeria

What I mean by nationalised here is Public Private Partnership (PPP) system that would leave Onyeama and Co run the business while the government is to provide other supports as shareholders.

Necessary.

Both pilots — Benjamin Pettingill, 25, and Blake Hansen, 22 — also died. They were licensed as commercial helicopter pilots as well as flight instructors.


Imagine the age of the pilots How many years did these children train and how many years experience do they possess to carry people in such a weather

Wigwe's family should also be interested in the case.

AIR PEACE should be nationalised immediately. Nigerian government/citizens 50 per cent ownership and Onyeama and Co 50 per cent.

AIR PEACE should be used to begin work on the idea of bringing back our national carrier via a PPP scheme.

Whether we agree or not, the Nigerian government must ensure that AIR PEACE overcome this AIRLINES NEOCOLONIAL CONSPIRACY supported by some African/Nigerian saboteurs/traitors.

There is hope for him. We need youth like him. Let him come and contest for President in 2027.

Savedday2:
My brother, sorry to be honest with you. If you haven't divorce your wife, you didn't learn anything in that marriage.

Women aren't capable of love/marriage. They are manipulators, using love/marriage as a trap. Kindly, get sense and stay away from love/marriage.

If you are married, divorce her immediately. The fact that she hasn't show you pepper/shege now doesn't means she wouldn't show you pepper.

Women are very pretentious in nature. They can pretend for 20, 30 or even 40years. But one thing is certain, that shege they are cooking for you, you must eat it when the time is right.

I want to advise you with all humidity, kindly divorce your wife, no matter how hard it is or how emotional you are. It's for your own good. Later you will understand.

If you aren't married, God is on your side. Never, ever allow any girl or your emotion to deceive you into marriage. If you want children, have baby mama or better still, adopt or use IVF if you can afford it.

Peace!

A word is enough for the wise.

Is this advice from your experience? Stop poisoning the minds of young folks against marriage. I believe you have women around you.

MARRIAGE is instituted by GOD. Many people fail in it because they either did not consult Him before entering into it OR they refused to put Him into the equation during the journey.

It's sad that the boy killed himself. It's sadder that his fellow mates with criminal minds caused his death. Let justice take its course.

However, Europe must teach their children about the dignity of keeping what's private, private. This issue of people sending their nude photos to known and unknown people is evil in itself.
