Are you alien to Nigerian history at least since independence? Didn't you see what happened in the last election? How do you check that?

The inconsistency is unresolveable, which has given rise to some regions (or a region) desiring to break away due to the gross retarded growth and backwardness occasioned by federal character principle otherwise known as "quota system". What we have now is even worse than the quota system!!!

The summary of what you are saying is that you agree with me- the Hausa-Fulani are better quality than we southerners and that is why they have dominated us for 64 years.

Alarming for who though? If anyone should be alarmed, perhaps black Africans who have one of the lowest proportional home ownership of any ethnic group. However I don't think there's cause for alarm. With hard work, good business sense and better community cohesion, I'm sure these figures will rise.

Despite sending the 'best and brightest'. Lol.

Continue to delude yourself... Talk is cheap!

Since you are not deluding yourself and your talk is not cheap, then why have you not worked for your group to replace the Hausa-Fulanis in dominating this country

The two bold elements are so hard to achieve for us blacks everywhere- in Africa and outside.
Why is that so?
Is it because we are generally risk averse, for the business sense, and too selfish and myopic for the community cohesion

It is because of Chinese business interests the Americans are now planning an Americas' Policy in Congress for the US to trade more with Latin American countries. Before now, why did they not trade with folks in their backyard? Why is it that when China comes to trade, the West believes it is also the best time to trade? Look at the purported railway in Angola backed by the US, it was solely because the Chinese were expanding the previous railway they did in the '70s in Tanzania. If the Chinese didn't move there, the US wouldn't. The same applies to Southeast Asia where American companies are announcing investments solely because Chinese businesses have invested significantly in the region. Expectedly, Southeast Asians view Chinese more positively than Americans.

One word.. competition.

Western nations are unhappy that a non-western monolith dares venture into the self-serving, neo-colonialist International lending space and then tries to undercut them. A space where much of the global south who have unable to be sat at the table are put on the menu. A space where Djibouti is expected to lend money at rates several multiples more than any western nation and yet, not collapse under its weight.

If we were looking to fund same projects from Western institutions, the rates would have been much higher and the projects uncompleted as most of the money would have been looted back to western nations via purpose-built pathways used by corrupt collaborators on each side of the divide. As much as I hate to say it, we should be thankful to the Chinese for affording us such competitive loans and seeing to it that they're used as intended.


Reason why the 'cheap' Chinese loans have achieved so much whereas billions more from western institutions cannot be traced to anything of note.

I need help.

Does it matter whose card is used on the TLS website? So if someone is paying for assisted services, can the person use a siblings card?

If they can, do they need to show any proof or anything?

Or it’s just pay for the service with a naira card and that’s all?

What an outrageous lie from the UK. As if China would ever do such a thing... 👀

lol. Still a little too early to conclude that.

I have read three news sources since you broke the news and all said the same thing

'the UK govt did not name a country'

I say let's give it time.

Even with the competent cybersecurity expert produced by uk universities 😂😭

Elders Good Morning,

Please I need your candid advice, I recently got a permanent offer which is closer to where I live and pays more than my former role but the snag here is that my wife is heavily pregnant and I forgot to discuss this during the interview. The new coy wants me to resume by 27th of this month because they are aware that I’m on a FTC in my current role which is difficult for me because my wife has less than 3 weeks to EDD. Please how can I share this with them than won’t affect my current offer.

2nd Plan- I also intend to get someone to come in and assist my wife on days I will work on site so that I won’t need to take any excuse. I am really confused as I do not know how best to address this.

Regards

I've come to notice that the UK Cyber ecosystem is weak. So many councils are pawned already.

I could have sworn that I saw a question regarding taking on additional work on the Skilled Worker visa here at some point overnight but it seems to have disappeared now.

Anyway, the guidance on the Gov website has definitely changed, seemingly clarifying that not only can you run a business while on the visa, you can take on additional work even in a role that's a different occupation code from your sponsored one as long as you don't work more than 20 hours/week at it. I spotted this earlier in the year but couldn't find any actual legislative update to that effect (and still can't), but the guidance change is very clear.

I'm attaching a screenshot showing what the page looked like from 2020 through early this year (from Wayback Machine) and what it says now.

I just laugh when I hear them demonising other countries for things they do daily.
All I hear is "You cannot do that, we are the only ones allowed to do it".

Here's a link to a different perspective from the Guardian on Kemi Badenoch's Empire & Slavery argument - https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/may/05/so-empire-and-the-slave-trade-contributed-little-to-britains-wealth-pull-the-other-one-kemi-badenoch

Interesting perspective.

Good morning House,
My agency carried out a Nigeria credit check on my profile using my BVN for a new job. And the check came back with my names not arranged in the right order( Middle name was provided as first name). Now the agency wants me to complete a credit check on experian, and directed me to indicate on experian that I have a previous name, and then provide the names in the (wrong) order of arrangement that was in the Nigerian credit check result. And also just put any date in experian as the date I started using the name that is in the right order.

Though some of my colleagues that had the same issue did as instructed, but I am yet to do mine because I am worried about any future implication.
Please what would you advice.

I'll say be open and firm when you can resume work. If you need 4 weeks, let your employer know, e.g. for family commitments, I'm only able to start on 27th of next month. They'll wait and the sky will not fall. You can then have time to be there for mother and baby and make alternative arrangements for care.

Would you be in breach of your notice period, with your current employer.........

Hello everyone
At this point I’m beginning to think I am cursed or something as I am so confused and saddened.

I currently work as a band 5 in the NHS and after 4 months of hard work and rejections looking for a sponsored role, I got a band 7 offer project manager role. I noticed my contract said fixed so I messaged the HR asking why my contract isn’t permanent. I assumed I would be sponsored but I never brought this up with anyone. I got this response “
We can only offer you a fixed-term contract as you have an expiry date on your visa, once your visa expires you will need to give HR your new visa information and your contract will be renewed to the next expiry date on your visa, this will happen until you have permanent right to work in the UK”.

I have not asked them anything about sponsorship but the response has completely shattered me as I would be moving to another town for this role, my current job contract expires in August and I’ve been told renewal is possible.

I am confused on the next step of action to take, do I try to ask for sponsorship and risk the offer being withdrawn or do I accept the fixed term and risk not giving me myself enough time to look for a sponsored role. My visa expires next year November .

I really need help so I don’t make the wrong choice.

I already agreed to the 27th when I got the offer, although I intend to send a mail about moving forward my resumption after completion of reference checks

hyzich:

If i was in your shoes..... I would not look back, if they never asked you if your wife was pregnant, you did not have to disclose.......

Start packing....... 🤣😂

I need to be around for my wife, we have a toddler already and it would be very difficult if she gives birth same week I resume.

We men tend to overthink things, our wives have superwomen tendencies....... You been at home to support her today and tomorrow, is an ideal position........ What would happen the day after tomorrow.......

Speak to HR, they would surprisingly be very sympathetic and offer you relevant support.......
