PropertiesRe: Water Tank Stand Collapses Overnight In Lagos, Destroys Tenant’s Lexus(video) by xandy84: 7:31pm On Apr 11
That is not how insurance works. You don't denial a claim except is negligence. Parking beside a water scaffolding is not negligence. The structure would not have collapsed if it was erected well. Full coverage will pay for the car and go after the landlord to recoup their money.

CareerRe: 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.

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.

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.
TravelRe: 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.
TravelRe: 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....
TravelRe: 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.

CrimeRe: Nigerian Mother Arrested For Murder After 9-Year-Old Daughter Dies In Hot Car by xandy84: 8:35pm On Oct 21, 2025
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.

Foreign AffairsRe: Hamas Publicly Tortures And Execute Three Palestinians In Gaza(photos) by xandy84: 1:26am On Sep 22, 2025
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.

Your post suggest you dont know what H1B visas are for in the first place. It's a visa that allow professional that cannot be easily found in America to work for certain companies, in specialized fields. H1B visas holder built Silicon Valley and all these mega tech companies you see in America today.
ICE arrested, humiliated 300 South Koreans working to build battery factory in Atlanta 2 weeks ago. Those guys were deported and the work stopped on the factory cos Americans does not have the skill and the technical know-how to build such factory and the 8600 the factory suppose to provide for Americans is now on hold. Now, even Trump is begging the South Koreans to return and non want to have anything to do with America.

Time to release the hostages, lay low and regroup for later years but continuing this war will bring a total annihilation of Hamas and there will be no Palestinians in Gaza by the time this ends.

Foreign AffairsRe: Canada Will Cut Off Electricity Supply To U.S - Premier Warns (Photos) by xandy84: 2:20pm On Mar 11, 2025
You're right. Canada only supply 1.5 millions homes electricity in US, in three States. Another impact of the trade war is market reaction. The market hates uncertainty and that is what Trump is doing now. Today, he threatened tarrif and tomorrow, he put it on hold. The market has already lost so much that the fear of recession is real now. Trump himself admit recession is likely yesterday. DOGE firing federal workers and contractors already killing job market. Average Americans can't wait till mid term election to show him how horrible his policies are affecting their lives.














DemonSlayer:
I don't support Trump nor his policies, but this comment is very misleading.

1. A single click will not throw the entire U.S. into darkness—this is an extreme exaggeration. While some states, such as New York, Michigan, and Minnesota, import electricity from Ontario, the OP mentions only 3 states. The U.S. has 50 states with a highly diversified power grid. The U.S. grid integrates multiple energy sources (nuclear, coal, natural gas, hydro, and renewables) before distributing power to consumers, meaning Canadian electricity accounts for only a small fraction of total supply. A surcharge on Canadian electricity might increase costs, but it would not cause entire states to go dark, not to talk of the entire country as you suggest.

2. Canada is not the biggest player in the region, the OP said Canada is more dependent on American exports than the other way round. The US economy is about $25 trillion while Canada's is at around $2 trillion, so the US economy is roughly 10 to 12 times larger. Most of Canada's exports, about 70-75%, goes to the US, meaning Canada relies a lot on American buyers, but the US, with its many trading partners, doesn't depend on Canada as much and has several other trading partners to turn to, that means Canada will suffer more in a trade war with the US, just as the OP has rightly stated. What Canada might do is to woo other partners, and be less dependent on the US, which will be more expensive logistically speaking. Trading with your partner across the border is smarter and cheaper than trading with someone across the ocean, you might lose competitive advantage when you include shipping costs and other logistics.

All said, like I've said before, and will reiterate, Trump's foreign policy will ultimately have a significant negative impact on the American economy.
