Mummyfour:
21st if August, I was at the American embassy for a visa appointment.

From the period spanning 3 hours I was there, nobody left the interview room with a smile or laughter. Almost every one there was rejected.

The funniest thing about the rejection was the verdict on the light blue paper given to the intending travellers which read" you have not demonstrated that you have enough ties to bring you back to Nigeria "

In a layman's terms, it means we are suspecting that you want to japa into the US.

The most painful aspect was a lot of undergraduates that were turned down. A guy that had a $60,000 worth of scholarship was bounced too.

I saw someone who was just going on a study leave from a whole Deloitte where he works in presently in Nigeria being bounced too.
Most of the interviewers didn't even check out relevant documents of the applicants, but just drew their conclusion based on face value.

I was discussing with people and they said inasmuch as the reason for that verdict was baseless and stupid, we Nigerians are viewed as the worst of the worst world citizens to allow access into the US, irrespective of one's qualifications.
We have a government, system and people that are fantastically corrupt.
We have people who engage in and support illegalities.

Our judiciary is biased and is for the highest bidders, and our political system and elections are flawed (none is perfect anywhere in the world) but ours is glaring and very embarrassing.

Our leaders are not patriotic and that is why when we as citizens have our rights trampled on locally or internationally, nothing is done about it.
Nigeria is not regarded as anything again.
In other words, we are just seen as nothing but irritating pollutants.

So for those of you that applaud evil in this land, pray you remain forever in Nigeria because even if it is just to go and visit and come back, they will not allow you.
If you even have a scholarship or any good thing that can take you out of this country, you will be frustrated at the embassy.

And for those of you that left already and are destroying the name of Nigeria, God's punishment awaits you.
And for those that are still making us proud in the US and elsewhere, may God continue to bless your efforts

I rest my case.
Please mods front page

All these people [developed countries] are just making milking monies from Nigerians.

DO THEY DENY OUR POLITICIANS, POLITICAL APPOINTEES, SENIOR CIVIL SERVANTS Visas These ones go in with huge public funds to grow their economies.

THEY ARE PART AND PARCEL OF THE ROT & CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA/AFRICA AS COLLABORATORS.

Tinubu Is Playing Die With The North By Nasir Aminu https://dailytrust.com/tinubu-is-playing-die-with-the-north/

The onus now falls on Nigerian lawmakers to guide and temper Tinubu’s actions. They must remind him that his primary duty as president is to the Nigerian people, above any external interests. The role of the northern lawmakers is pivotal in case there is any division in the chamber. They must steer the situation back to a path of dialogue and cooperation, recognising that shared history and mutual respect have traditionally guided these regional relations.

The stakes are high: if conflict erupts and Nigeria loses, these lawmakers might find themselves without positions in mere weeks. Northern senators must heed the lessons of war-torn nations like Syria, Libya, Iraq and the Central African Republic and act to prevent conflict in Nigeria. Unlike their previous speedy approvals of the 2023 supplementary budget and the bow-and-go ministerial confirmations, they must put Tinubu under a microscope.



Among many other points, I find these ones quite interesting.

But a large chunk of the cattle and sheep being consumed in all parts of Nigeria comes from Niger, according to findings and interviews with those doing the business.

What do we produce ooo

Did God send you there?

THIS DEFINING AND CRUCIAL QUESTION WHICH MANY REFUSE TO ASK TO AVOID REGRETS TOMORROW, IS STILL RELEVANT.
TAKE YOUR JAPA IDEA TO THE LORD IN PRAYERS.

hmm .....abeg some one should help me convert to our local currency please.
Current exchange rate please, i want to know exactly how much was invested.

₦12,000,000 [Twelve million Naira]
It's outrageous

With this amount of money, I will first get a visitor visa to go holiday and see situation there or wherever I want to go by myself. If GOD confirms to me to leave then I know there's a high possibility of even getting the connection for a better opportunity that will make one return conveniently.

AGENTS Phenomenon is really another disaster in this country.

THE SHARING CONTINUES SHARING WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT TO SHOW FOR IT!

SalamRushdie:
Tinubu made two Northerners Minister of Defense?

He give cat fish to keep be that

Ayed44:
What happens to the people who are not civil servants?

A VERY GOOD QUESTION INDEED.

This is really sad. When will all these stop? Mauritius can only give NIGERIANS 7days visa on arrival while NIGERIENS (Niger) can get 3 months visa on arrival.

What about UAE... SINGAPORE...

The craze for wealth by all means especially destroying someone's else life in the process is sad. More so, that a section of the country is noted for this malaise is tragic.

HOW CAN A PERSON DECIDE TO MAKE WEALTH BY DESTROYING ANOTHER PERSON'S LIFE?

WE NEED TO CHECK OUR VALUES AS A PEOPLE TRULY.

HARDWORK AND CONTENTMENT MUST BE PREACHED. PEOPLE MUST BE REMINDED OF ETERNITY.

THIS MADNESS FOR WEALTH IS APPALLING, OBSCENE & DESTRUCTIVE TO THE FABRIC OF EVERY NATION & PEOPLE.

Say to the RIGHTEOUS that it shall be well with him and to the WICKED it shall be ill with him.

Evil shall not depart from the man who repays a person who did him good with evil.

A fool has said in his heart that there is no GOD.

GOD rules in the affairs of men.

LIFE and DEATH are in the power of the TONGUE

As a man thinks, so is he.

Only in the DICTIONARY does SUCCESS comes before HARDWORK.

A DIPLOMAT is the person who tells you to go to hell and you look forward to the trip

shiki:
Anything that goes up, must come down, but not in Nigeria

Gas don dey come down small ooo

This issue is clearly a reflection of the Nigerian political class/elites refusal to take responsibility for their failings or that of those under their watch. The way JAMB handled this matter smacks of unprofessionalism and probably an attempt for the Registrar to dodge responsibility for system glitch that affected the results. We all know that this craze for technological innovation by many of our institutions and bodies are not built on good structures but it's a way to make money.

Again, WHY SHOULD JAMB generate money for the FG by the way it almost makes universities admissions processes expensive and tidious. Is JAMB a profit making organisation or a socio-educational organisation meant to encourage young people's drive for higher education.

Maybe, it's time for JAMB to be scrapped. Let universities take back their admissions processes under another unit within the NUC.

1. Yes, I do.

2. Jesus Christ never said He disdained marriage. Rather, He, like God, said Marriage is of the world of men and not the Kingdom of God meaning that nothing you do in your marriages will ever bring you any close to God or impact your status with God. Marriage is like owning a house. It does not move the heart of God in your behalf or against you. .

3. So, you are saying Jesus Christ lied in Matthew 19 vs 11 - 12 ?

God never said it is not good for a man to be alone. We are talking here of the same God whose many servants even in the Old were never married. We are talking here of the same God who gathered 144,000 men as eunuchs as his first fruit while He then sent out into the world to gather His Israel back. That statement which you claim did not come from God.

4. Jesus Christ never gave you the Holy Spirit as interpreter of the Truth of God - John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 15. So you should check Scripture and also consider the true nature of the Spirit you claim to have there that feeds you lies using the name of God.

God who gathered 144,000 men as eunuchs

Which Bible has this? What Spirit gave you this interpretation

Kobojunkie:
1. Do you open your eyes at all to read? How can marriage be this important institution when God, after instituting it in Genesis 2 vs 24 turned around and cursed it in Genesis 3 vs 16. God also stated that while He created humans male and female, He made some Eunuchs from their birth, had some become Eunuchs in this life and gave his blessing to those who will live as Eunuchs for the sake of His Kingdom - Matthew 18 vs 11 - 12 - This all in addition to Jesus Christ making clear that marriage has no place in the Kingdom of God as it only pertains to the world of men - Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. This is the same Jesus Christ whom you claim come to offer you salvation in marriage that said this. So is Jesus Christ a liar?

I don't need to argue with you. Are you baptised in the Holy Spirit? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? Do you hear God speak to you in your ears and heart?

Jesus Christ never disdained marriage but the way MEN were practising it.

Marriage remains the only God ordained means to multiply and God still honours His words on it.

Being eunuch is not a choice by God but of men. God said it - it is not good for the man to be alone.

You may need the Holy Spirit to help you to interpret the scriptures.

Kobojunkie:
God washed His hand off marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16 and repeated that marriages are of the world of men and not the Kingdom of God in Luke 20 vs 34 - 36.

GOD has never washed His hands off marriage which is one of the things that Jesus Christ came to bring reconciliation and salvation to man for. AFTER SALVATION,MARRIAGE IS STILL ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTITUTIONS OF GOD WHICH HE IS STILL INTERESTED IN. Genesis 1:27-28; Jeremiah 29:17

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace thus it's not one of God's characters to allow His children to enter into chaotic marriages, GOD STILL GIVES WIFE/HUSBAND to His children who surrender THEIR WILL to His own for them.
Shalom.

Playing with fire... depends on the type of Christian you are. Holy Spirit filled one who hears God's voice in his ears and heart OR carnal one who hears his logic and rationale.

Is he a true Christian? If yes, he should just go and ask Baba God and relax as likes attract likes spiritually.

I tried recharging my prepaid Meter all through yesterday June 30th, all failed; maybe the traffic of panic buying of the old rate being the last day was responsible for the glitch. Woke up very early this morning to recharge and boom it went just at the 1st trial, chai!!!

I recharged 20k and I got 267 units in return. I was shocked. Usually 1500 is for the 7.5%(VAT). I quickly did the maths 18500 divided by 267.(something). So my tariff now is around 69 Naira per KWH. Mehn, cold gripped me, before now when u buy 20k, u are good for a month due to epileptic power supply. Ironically we have been having 24hours power supply, only God knows if this will last up to 3 weeks sef.

Everything is increasing except for salaries that are on stunted growth. From Fuel, that has impacted directing on food cost and transportation. While this Electric tariff increment will have a larger impact on almost everything. But we all know that the Masses will bear the brunt if it all.

Which way o? How do a common Man survive with all these skyrocketing Bills?

Some of us have been buying at ₦75 per kWh since last year when it went up from ₦40. But not from government provider.

olasaad:
And most of the Ex- Service chiefs will not leave in Nigeria so all the aids and domestic staffs will just be doing nothing like my neighbour here.

I am very sure Buhari trip to London is still been finance by the federal government. Let the poor continue to suffer.

The government monetise all these benefits for them as they hardly get the aides and domestic staff. The generals will collect the monies and employ those they need.

Likoya:
Them for kuku give them one full battalion, nonsense.

Now, I have an advice for some people here and this is the last time I'll post this...
If You're sixteen years old,or just finished secondary school in this country, please my advice for you is to not go to university immediately.. Use one year or 6 months to go and learn any business you have passion for, then ask your parents to use the money they want to waste for that Useless five years course to start up a business for you, trust me, in five years time if you are destined to succeed and not an Igbo smoker or mumu pikin, when your mates are celebrating graduating with a stupid degree, busy signing shirt upandan and start searching for a job they can never see, you will have become a millionaire by then.. After you've established your business to a stage where by it don't need your presence to run, you can employ people to run it in your absence while your go to school and chase that degree if you want... When your mates dey celebrate graduating at 21,22,23, you will be celebrating becoming a millionaire and employer of labour at that same age... Tell me how many BSC holders get upto a million Naira in their account today? Na them full Nairaland 24/7 dey complain of job scarcity, planning how to go squat with a friend in another state in search of job..

Sense dey here.

I know people who did this and went back to school [self-esteem] as millionaires.

So, education is not useless ooo! It's just that our type of education tends to make the people useless to themselves and the society.

True I pity my South South people and their wicked politicians.

Good day all.
Please, is it true that the Mauritius immigration has started attending to student's visa application by Nigerians?

Girlee:
I'm blessed by your words!
I'm grateful!
You'll never experience hardship in life! When you call for one, thousands will answer you and when you call for thousands, millions will surround you. You'd never be found lacking or wanting.
Thanks bro 🌹

Amen. Thank you.
Our life experiences are meant to make us love and serve God better and not to be bitter with anyone.

[I'm pained!
I just want to know "how people run away from home".
I know I've got nowhere to go to and no one to run to but all I can think of right now is how I must leave this house, the negative vibes, the toxicity and hate.

My dad bought so many bags of cement, trips of sand to build his house. How much did I ask for?

I can't do what my mates are doing in the street because I just can't. If not, I just might have been one of those underaged prostitutes or thieves.
God has so much helped me because I've thought of so many crazy things to do but Christ in me won't allow it.

I want to be free abeg!
How do I run away from home?😩

Remember Joseph. Remember Esther. Remember God is taking you somewhere great. So, remain in Christ as you claim He is in you. Stay put where you are and shine your light. Focus on God.

If you didn't have a father won't you make it in life? I don't wish your father dead. But I learnt that anyone can disappoint especially your parents. My father did when I was in JSS 3. How? He died.

God bless you.

You see , it's highly laughable, same people will want Graduate with 6 years of experience, not more than 27 years for a post in their firm.

It's really annoying and sad that the NASS intentionally close their eyes to these things. Even our labour unions...

Imagine a Malam as Education Minister for 8 years and ASUU and NASU saw nothing wrong with it.

May God really help Nigeria.

WAEC/SSCE as basic requirement for the job of governing a state / nation is TRULY AN ABSURDITY AND ABERRATION

WHAT roles will these politicians give to WAEC/SSCE holders in their private businesses
