I am responding in context. I have live in US for 14 uninterrupted years and I am yet to see Arabs chasing anyone from Chicago, Texas, DC etc. Fact is there are some fanatics among them and same goes to white supremacist etc. No tribe or religion has a monopoly of violent. The reason why US government still allow people from Middle East and other region is there is net gain at the end of the day. WatchYourSix: Oga…be reading and responding according to context …: u know the Arabs and their ways… other immigrants are there for there United state to benefit from …. Not these pple that have mentality to kill for prophet and religion |

So native born Amercians does not commit terrorists crime against Americans? Americans has gained more from immigrants and their decendant tha any country on earth. When you broaden your views, you will understand why Adam Smith said "we do not see bread to due to generosity of the bread maker". WatchYourSix: It’s the nonsense inclusivity policy they are running …..immigrants from terrorist nation will be allowed into the country, as if thats not bad enough… they will still allow them into sensitive position….

You are right but Isreal has went too far that even her allies can't stand the genocide no longer. Even Trump told them how many people do you wish to kill to make up for October 7th. You can't bomb yourself to peace. There has to be diplomatic move to resolve the conflict as skme point. nairalanda1: The thing is, the cause of the bombings of Gaza was the repeated suicide bombings of Israel, and attacks like the 7 October attack.
The reason why I mention this is not to justify what Israel is doing in Gaza, but to point out that every action has an equal and oppostie reaction.

Education › Re: Is First Class Degree Highly Celebrated By Whites? by xandy84: 12:27pm On Jul 25 |
First, nothing is wrong with me. Second, I never said good grades is bad. All I am saying is some degree is worth less when it did not confer distinguished skill to it holder. Lastly, I have a skill trade and even then I am a PhD holder, I work with my skill not with my degree cos it pays more. You need to learn to express yourself without insult. Peace. XY01: What's wrong with people like you? You literally didn't say anything close to the conversation. Someone literally shared his/her daughter experience, another shared 5 videos of people celebrating their degree..
You decided to bring up how the world is moving from degrees that don't confer you distinguished skills, so let me ask you, the degrees that confer you distinguished skills, are they celebrated or not?
The conversation isn't even about you skills or experience but if academic excellence is celebrated in western countries. See, I switch between both worlds, while professionally you need to have skills, experience and certifications, that doesn't negate the fact that if you're purely into academia, your academic excellence will be overlooked.
You guys should try and understand conversations. If you want to further in academics, your performance record is important, while if you want to further in professional development, you'll need to skill up to edge out competitions but what happens when you and your competitors have the same level of skill..what will be the next or should I say close criteria?
Why did you finish with 3.8, why not lesser than that since degree is losing value? Why didn't you drop out and focus on a skill trade? Again, why did you finish with a 3.8, why not 2.8 or 1.8? |
Education › Re: Is First Class Degree Highly Celebrated By Whites? by xandy84: 10:56pm On Jul 24 |
You are wrong. I have a 3.8 CGPA out of 4 point and when I get to graduation hall, people plenty with 4 out of 4. In US at the moment, degree is losing it value to skill trade. The rate of universities merging and closing completely due to low enrollments has never been seen before. The world is moving away from degree that does not confer you distinguish skills. Era of first class in philosophy and expecting employers to look your way is long gone. XY01: Lol...you have zero clue about western education.. do your own research and come back to this thread
For the OP, any and every developed country place value on education and encourage their students to perform significantly well. They cherish it a lot. If you're opportuned to have a first class degree, go for it. It will help a lot especially if you're into academics. Don't follow the bandwagon of first class doesn't guarantee success |

I am not a fan of either Obi or Tinubu but I can tell you average 3rd graduate in Nigeria will graduate with fiest class in US. I had graduated with 3.3 from Unilag, only to graduate with 3.7 out of 4 point CGPA in US even with less reading. Nigeria educational system should focus less or cramming and pouring it back to the lecturers. Richtaiwo: It is on record Tinubu graduated from Chicago State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting, and graduated with First Class honors. The University has confirmed it.
It is equally on record that Peter Obi graduated with a 3rd class degree in Philosophy. No amount of inconsequential cacophony from obidients can alter those facts. Prove this wrong with appropriate authority, not irrelevant noise. |

Career › Re: Which Digital Skills Are Worth Learning In 2026. by xandy84: 5:47pm On Jan 01 |
You're very correct. I believe the term "Digital skills" has seen it demise because the AI perform such taks with ease, better and that has changed everything for real. Profession like programming, tech support, design etc will continue to see a sharp decline due to how efficiently AI can do such jobs while blue collar jobs will see increase in demand for their skills cos AI can't fix cars, do plumbing or replace a roof. I can tell you my friend had applied to over 100 jobs as tech support/account manager and yet to land a single interview. I was listening to Ivy league school in California saying their students in IT degrees are finding it difficult to land a gig due to mass investment of companies in AI. This is an opportunities for smart people to see opportunities and invest in themselves that continue to acquire skills that is going obsolete by the day. SpencerForbes: The speed at which AI has dominated the graphic design space is actually insane. To be honest, the excitement I had while learning it has faded because the landscape has changed so much. I’m currently back at the drawing board, scouting for another digital skill that offers more long-term security. |

First, read what I write-up before jumping to a conclusion. There is nowhere I said ICE will stop a citizen fro. Reentry. ICE will not stop you from entry but that will be the beginning of your problem if you have somwthing on your background.This article will help you comprehend. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/doj-denaturalize-argentinian-accent-cuban-citizenship-miami-florida-mia/3689220/%3famp=1 RaptorX: You don't know the hell what you are talking about, I repeat no custom or border agents in the US can prevent a naturalized citizen from re-entry into the US or lock you up to force you to voluntary self deport or give up your citizenship.You can't even lock up a Green card holder trying to renter, you can only take them before a immigration judge talk less of a naturalized citizen.
Where do you people get this fake news from, you can only be denaturalized as a naturalized citizen through the courts and a judge and it is an intensive legal process, no body at a point of entry can deny a naturalized citizen re entry no matter your record or history but they can initiate denaturalization process against you after letting you go home. The US is based on law and order, and no one can just arbitrarily lock you up. You are here spreading nonsense gossip you read somewhere on Facebook. |
Travel › Re: US Visa Panic Disrupts Detty December by xandy84: 6:30pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
That is half truth. While the process has to goes thru the court, you will be waiting in jail to go thru the process and you will end up voluntarily give up your citizenship. Deporting anyone who arrive in US with inspection is tedious process and ICE knows that but whe you are locked up and they keep appealing your release, most people voluntarily sign their deportation order. RaptorX: Í Forget all that story, naturalized citizens can enter US freely no matter their so called record. Denaturalization doesn't happen at point of entry, it is a very intensive process and only the courts can approve denaturalization after the government brings a case against you. Don't let anyone scare you with fake news. |
Travel › Re: US Visa Panic Disrupts Detty December by xandy84: 5:26pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
You are very correct. As long as someone's citizenship is not acquired by birth, it can be taken away, mostly for fraud or misdeeds and Trump administration are already turbo charged in finding past misdeeds that will spell trouble for some people. This is the time to stay put and let these crazy enjoy their 4 years of fame while someone is not a casualty. Mathewrichard99: Exactly, i am just amused that most Nigerians assumed it's only Green card holders and Visa holders that the restrictions could be applied on......It's applicable to US Passport holders too, I have watched on CNN whereby a citizen was denied entry because of a past misdeed. Presently, everyone should stay wherever you are and wait for a further directives which might ease up things or add more to the already existing restrictions. Sadly, when a citizen is denied re-entry, your US passport is automatically perforated and cancelled right in your presence...... Very sad..... Next thing is to get back on the next available flight to where you are coming from.... |
Travel › Re: US Visa Panic Disrupts Detty December by xandy84: 4:44pm On Dec 21, 2025 |
Even US passport does not guarantee reentry now as long as you're not born here. ICE stays at the airport now and when you come to check in, they pull your record and any blemishes send you to secondary inspection and there comes the problem if you're naturalized citizens. They are even detaining citizens for hours, tell them their 4th amendment does not applies at port of entry. Denaturalization process is in full speed at the moment. Nazgul: This is just common sense.
If you don’t have a U.S. passport, just stay where you are. You have no business coming to Nigeria. Don’t come to Nigeria and then start crying when it’s time to go back and immigration starts giving you problems at the point of entry.
But if you have a U.S passport, no wahala. Come home, enjoy your Detty December, party with friends and family, spray money, catch cruise, and fly back without stress.
Nigeria is not the place to come and be gambling with your future. Entry into the country is easy once you have your Nigerian passport. But entering back the US after enjoying yourself is where the real drama starts. If those guys see that your green passport, they won't mind if you have a resident permit, they can just choose to deny you entry and nothing would happen. |

The era of professional jobs is long gone. Most skill professions like plumbing, carpentry or diesel mechanics pays more than the so called professional jobs with job security due to low supply of skill people. Nvidia co-founder started last month that the next American millionaires will be skill worker and not white collar jobs and I agreed with him. Your second point is super important. The cost of travel must be small to worth the reward. What is the sense of selling car and house only to end up in group home wipping someone's behind? Like frying pan to fire. Lots has changed in the so called abroad and sometimes, it does not worth the risk of selling everything to japa. casualobserver: We keep telling Nigerians, this japa is not what it is cracked up to be. But for this story, many will not know what many Nigerians go through abroad. I repeat, there are only 3 conditions under which I will advice anyone to japa. 1: You are a citizen and can get a professional job even then don’t spend too long or your mates will soon surpass you 2: the cost of you relocating is less than what it will take for you to start a small business in Nigeria (because for many, the jobs you are going to do abroad are more degrading than the business you feel is too low for you in Nigeria. 3). Deep psychological trauma. |

There is different between Hamas and Palestine. The UK, Canada , France and other countries understand the difference but I bet you do not. Learn the difference and you will equip yourself with better understanding. These countries you are antagonizing because they recognize the Palestinians states created the state of Isreal out of nothing and gave Isreal everything it needed to function as a newly created state. Botragelad: Make no mistake, this is exactly what the UK, Canada, Australia, and others are trying to normalize by pushing for a Hamas-run state. Public executions and the beheading of ‘infidels’ are the proud trademarks of these jihadist thugs.
And to be clear, the same countries crying for a Palestinian state don’t even grasp Hamas’s core ideology or its obsession with killing. They probably won’t lift a finger to fight these terrorists like Israel does because it’s not their backyard. |
