Same here. Africa has really suffered in the hands of the West. Why do Africans consistently blame the west for their problems ? When do we start taking responsibility for our actions and inactions ?

mrdharkchild: Respect your Culture/tribe. Life is not supposed to be free. Countries work because they have fear for something.
Don't allow the westerners decieve you. They get into your country and tell you you're a slave, open your eyes, make you feel you're living a lie.
And you connive with them to kill your people. I respect the Muslim/Islamic culture.
Culture is your heritage. Always respect it. If you don't like it, get the Bleep out.
Everything was built on blood. Nobody, not even Christians are totally good. Stick to 1 religion,belief or whatever and respect others.
Everybody, killed to be where they are today, same with countries, and the west are the worst-off
But you travel out and see your Culture as backward. I laugh you in Spanish.
Your heritage/Culture is your identity.
Culture is created for man .Man is not created for culture. Culture is meant to adapt to man. You cannot because of culture make life difficult for yourself or someone else . For example , the culture of Killing of twins in calabar , should they have continued with because it's their culture. Those people that carry culture on their head only say it because it favors them . When it goes against them, you will see them asking for the culture to be canceled. This same Saudi had the culture that women shouldn't drive cars and go to cinema alone. When they saw how this limit their revenue generation , they changed it. Saudi has a culture that no woman unmarried should live with a man. Did they not change it for C Ronaldo and his girlfriend? All this culture of "Don't criticize the monarchy ", is just something made up to keep themselves in power forever . |

in the first paragraph , what he said was nonsense. The f16 jets is a US weapon , which they've been reluctant to send to Ukrainians since the beginning of the war. Now , UK and Netherlands have decided to train the Ukrainian on the f16 jets but they can't give them the jets without US approval. US only just agreed to train the Ukrainian on the jet after the G7 meeting. 1 Like 1 Share |

"Strategic partnership" is the right description. Thank you for that. But Russia was a part of the plan. Can't plan for Europe's prosperity and dismiss Russian influence entirely. The situation with Zelensky you described isn't out of place at all. There was a bit of reluctance from the EU front with providing weapons to Ukraine at the initial stages, and that tells a lot. Even till date, only the US is planning on send F-series jets there, because they have other interests in the war beyond EU's prospects, and the EU knows this.
No one is asking why France has been quiet. Most EU countries right now are speaking through Hungary, and asking for negotiations to commence. They don't want the war to continue. They know Russia will pound Ukraine to smithereens regardless of ammunition provided. There's a reason they all fear Russia till tomorrow. The Hungarian PM said it earlier in the week that a victory over Russia in Ukraine is a mirage. Won't happen. Zelensky is doing what he's doing because he knows Russia won't escalate the war unless their border is breached, and they know the US has their backs. I'm neither pro-Russ or Pro-Us Pro-Ukraine, but I think the sensible thing right now is to negotiate. If sanctions couldn't hold North Korea from building ICBMs and Nukes, you think it would stop Russia? Like the US and UK, Russia is a force of nature. They'll forever be here, until Christ comes. Hahah.... which Europeans are speaking through Hungary. Hungary is totally inconsequential in Europe ,no one gives a shit about them. This is a country that does not adhere to EU standards , which is why many aids have been withheld.

What many do not know is that the Ukraine war actually halted a huge plan the EU had to get itself off US influence, and that plan involved integrating Russia into EU affairs. NATO would probably have been disbanded in 10 years time, because EU powers were already getting weary of it and questioning it's continued existence. This war granted legitimacy to NATO, a development which saddens Germany, Hungary, France and Belgium, because they had a plan to create a military organisation that would protect EU interests solely. EU isn't really happy about how the war is progressing. They all want an end to it, either militarily or by negotiations. But they want it to happen now. They're weary of it and just want it to end.

You asked for what you could do to help the situation Sit the child down , apologize to him (because you and your husband has wasted 5 yrs of his life ) , ask the boy what he really wants to do and tell him you are ready to give him unconditional support. After the boy tells you what he wants to do, look for an expert in that field to have a discussion with your son and tell him the advantages and disadvantages of his choice, and also tell him the amount of work he needs to put in to succeed in the field.
Give the boy time to make his decision. After the boy makes his decision , sit him down and tell him how you will support him. But also try to cajole him to always open up to you when he's not sure about anything.
During this period , go on fun trips with him , have light hearted conversations with him , watch football with him, Invite his friends who you like their characters over.
Also continue your research on his field of choice and look for materials or mentors to support him (you are doing all this work because you already wasted 5 yrs of his life). Encourage him to also keep studying and dreaming. Life is full of roses and thorns.
You noticed I didn't mention your husband in the solution. That is because I don't think the man has the boy's best interest at heart . Madam fight for your son and love him unconditionally . There is nothing wrong with him. He's just a young man whose hopes and dreams were shattered by his PARENTS. Now he's low in confidence and has no self belief. 3 Likes |

From all I read here , your husband is the problem not the son. If this story was told by someone else , I would have said the man is hell bent on destroying the boy's life. Who the hell forces someone to do pharmacy ahead of computer science in this digital age. All the beatings are supposed to inflicted on the father because his exposure and knowledge is awfully limited. I really feel disgusted reading his actions at jeopardizing his child's future. I honestly pity the child because he's seen as the problem whereas he's not. He has just given up all hope on life and currently lacks Motivation.
The story almost seems similar to mine, where my dad was almost insistent on me doing accounting and my mum medicine . I collected the money from jamb from them and filled for computer science . I was almost chased out of the house after that Family meetings after family meetings were done, I stood my ground and was help by the fact that I couldn't change the form again .
The fact that the course I chose was my decision was an extra motivation for me, because I knew I couldn't afford to fail.
Many years later this course has opened unlimited doors for me. After my uni , I started with ecommerce(with my parents discouraging me) , I made loads of money (that made them shut up), move abroad and there are jobs available for me everywhere because everyone wants an IT graduate and are ready to pay loads of money for it.
In summary , I'm disgusted by your husband actions and your own inactions . I hope the boy finds motivation to move on with life and quickly .
PS: This is no spiritual shit, don't take the boy to any pastor to add problems to his problems . He is in this condition because of his unexposed , uneducated and uncaring parents. You guys are not ready to parent a child and you have 5 already . It's so unfortunate 16 Likes 1 Share |

You told a guy up there that he is childish because of what he posted, you saying Western Education is not affordable to others is what?
Qatar had issues with Labourers simply because of the Deadlines as the dates approaches. They built the stadia from scratch. And they are wrong in not compensating the affected families.
I am an African, my society frowns at a man bedding a man. The Arabs Culture is against it too. The Bible is against it. A larger percent of people on this planet is against it. So, yes it is a virus, so keep it in Europe and your America.

They pay more. The major issue the Qatari had was the Deadline for the completion of the Facilities in time for the Games. So they pushed the Workers a little bit than necessary. But I would have thought they ought to have compensate the family of those that died.
That said the Western World are hypocrites. This same facilities had Europeans Companies building them and also they were somewhat pissed because the Chinese had a larger share of the Contracts for the facilities.
The LGBT+ nonsense was smuggled in to just tarnish everything.
All in all, The Qatari did good for their country. Regarding the pay, please see my reply to another poster above. Regarding the western world being hypocrite, i do agree with that. But to say that the Europeans or Americans are pisses over contracts is ridiculous. Qatar spent over 200 billion dollars on this world, mostly to please the western world. Do you think they will spend that much to host a tournament for Arabs, Africans and Asians? hahaha.... stop deceiving yourself. At the end of the day, monetary profits from these tournaments still end up in the western world. Why do the Qataris spend so much money for sportwashing their images literally. FIFA has being preaching equality for all for several years. Say No to racism, Say to homophobia, Say No to inequality, and protection of human rights. Then why should this be different for Qatar. If the western world is not built on this values, will the Qatar find a spirt invented and globalized by the western world so attractive to spend almost 400 billion dollars in order to host it.

How do you compare someone working 60 to 70 hours a week tp someone working 35 to 40 hrs a week on the same salary? Are Healthcare packages provided to this migrant workers?

Kly003: Guys, in the pursuit for success and greener pasture, there are laws you all must know. These laws must be adhered to, followed and kept in heart. Never forget these laws. If you don't keep this to mind, you may crash or have a stunted progress...
Law 1- When you travel, as a newbie who is trying to settle in, never be too quick to fall to the pressure of sending money back home. Give yourself atleast a year to get very balanced (in most cases, less than a year you are fine, in few cases you are still struggling after a year)
Law 2- if you are not travelling the legal way (studies or work) you may regret it, you may later make it but it will take you a longer years of suffering, regrets and depression. Some may never even make it. The best way to become a legal residence is always through studies.... See bah! School is a scam only in naija, when you study here, even as an undergraduate you are eligible to work for top multinational companies.... Your BSc is worshiped here, not to even talk about your Msc.... You will never regret if you come through studies and follow through. I repeat, you will never regret.
Law 3- Mingle more with the foreigners and learn from them, they are the people who can really help you. A black man can't help you, he is by default angry and jealous to watch you not progress than him. Need I tell you my job I got for a multinational firm was gotten through a ladies referral in Poland? Did we date-No! It's why I always debunk the cases of racism because people preach about it to the. Extreme as tho some blacks don't show reasons to be hated on.
Rule 4- Stay away from Nigerian ladies... They have nothing to offer you. I don't mean, you shouldnt talk or discuss with them.. But I recommend not dating them. Look, travelling comes with its downsides and that is majorly LONELINESS... In the pool of attraction, most of these ladies aren't attractive to foreigners, rather its the naija guys who always get attracted to foreign ladies... You don't want anyone who will milk you and have no value in your life. When you Start making money here, you will be tempted by many of these naija girls to date them. Don't! I repeat Don't.... They are looking to prey on you because no one looks their way at this phase.
5. Remember home- Some spend years travelling and never look to remember where they came from. It's possible because they are still illegal and yet to get their papers, however when you are settled and well to do, always remember home and where you came from. If you have a brother who always asks for money. Invite him over and take him out of naija.... Let's be honest.... When you say it's not easy here you know you lie.... Stop those lies and help your siblings to travel rather than sending money all the time making them your slaves. .
Stick to this laws and you will be fine, be open to foreigners... Seek to build network with them, you will never loose. You musn't date all but you will sure get the best of their friendship.
My story continues on my experience. Next This your rule 4 also, when you state things like this, please don't state it as a rule. Say it as an opinion. if a girl really lijes you, she'll date you regardless of your color. I don't have much to say on this ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) . Most Nigerian ladies I met here had a BF in Nigeria before coming here so why dem go give you face. At least 2 of them got married to their Nigerian BFs last year. Anyone can be attractive to anyone. Boys for here dey complain sey white girls no dey give dem face or are just using them for Bleep. But there was still a 9ja guy that came with us, who got married to a white girl within his first semester, dem don born now sef. There's no rule for dating.

My story continues on my experience. Next As much as I commend your effort in creating this thread and furnishing it with information but I'm sad, angry and disturbed with you following the trend of demonizing your fellow countrymen. Let me start with the first point of not relating to black guys because they are jealous or blahblah. I will reply to this from my own POV When I came to Germany 3 years ago, there was a large group of Nigerians who joined the Uni that same time. There was limited knowledge on how to navigate studies and get good jobs. I can remember my second week in Germany, about 5 of us ran into a Ghanaian guy who was in the uni earlier than us and he gave us orientation on how things goes. He was like forget hustle jobs, try to focus on studies squarely and get a proper office job. Then we met a Nigerian who told us to find a hustle Job asap and ride along with studies. We met another person who told us that it's really difficult to find a job, and study is hard here blah blah. Everyone speaks from their experience and their scope of knowledge then it is left to you to know which one works best for you and you can use. Out of the 3 scenarios advised above, none of them really worked for me but I picked something from all the 3 people and many other people and I can say I am in a better place than I can imagine. Personally, I do not believe anyone is jealous or doesn't want you to progress, some might just be frustrated and they project their failures on you unknowingly. It's up to you to process the kind of information you receive. Never dismiss anyone or their experience because they are black or whatever. Believe me I had a 4 hr heated argument with a guy that i came to Germany with on the same plane. He argued that it's not possible for a black guy to get a proper technical job in Germany and I argued otherwise. After that heated argument we literally stopped being friends. But his points always remained at the back of my mind for over a year and it made me scared of applying for jobs so I never applied. I was only doing hustle jobs, until another Nigerian friend got a technical job and he also encouraged me to do same. With input from friends including Nigerians, I improved my skills and my CV, one month after applying I got 4 offers after 100s of rejections. 3 months while working on the part time student job, I got 3 offers for a full time job. I started my full-time job in a multinational company while still studying and also changing my visa status.Also note that till now, my german is not good but the jobs I got are in English. Points to pick out from this story: 1. The guys that gave us orientation, never told us of the possibility of getting a full-time job while studying. Maybe if they had tild us most of us could have gotten full-time jobs without the whole school stress if anyone is not interested in studying. This is not because they are jealous of us. But they only gave orientation based on their experiences and also rules are being changed constantly. After getting my full time job, the other Nigerian that encouraged me to apply for technical jobs also got a full time job too, he started today. This was made possible by us making further research and also information shared within ourselves. 2. The other guy I had the heated argument with, did not make his point based on jealousy or whatever, but based on experience and also the difficult situation he found himself. 3. There was also a "common belief" that you can't get a good job in Germany without knowledge of German. This is true in some cases, there are some rejections I got and I asked them why, they tell me they need someone with fluent german. if i pass this information to someone else and he takes it as a rule. Then he meets someone that got a job without German, then he will say i don't want his progress. In my situation, the first student job I got in the advert they stated they needed someone with good german. I just applied randomly expecting a rejection. I got called for interview, everything was in English and i got the job. When I was working there, they told me that they need more people but they were not getting applications. I told them it was because the advert was in German and also they stated they needed someone with good german which discourages foreigners to apply cos I also almost didn't apply. Then they told me the company only recently started adopting English as working language. They asked me to help them rewrite the advert in English and also recommend people. I've met Germans who are surprised that I got a full-time job while studying. There was even a german who once kinda implied to my Indian friend that he shouldn't ask for a certain range if salary during interview. Guess what, my friend negotiated for over 10k higher and I also even got higher that the range he stated �. Does that mean he's jealous, No, he was only speaking based on experience. Now, when I meet newcomers, I always tell them just keep applying and improving your skills. Send like 10 applications per day. It doesn't mean I'm a better person or whatever. I only gave that advice based on experience. To finish my point, make friends with anyone you meet, relate with and have similar goals and drive regardless of their color. Believe me, the familiarity and brotherly joy, I get when amongst black people most especially Nigerians you can't replicate. Make friends with someone does not mean trust them completely or take their words as Bible. It's everyman for himself everywhere. No matter how hard you try, you can never fit in completely in a Group of friends filled with white people and also you can almost never have a German best friend. Most of them already formed their cliques or best friends since their high school days. It's probably easier for a black person born here or in their teens or early 20s. If you are beyond this age group, you'll have to be your own best friend. Everywhere you go just try to be the best version of yourself, smile, relate with people regardless of their color, share and get information you need, go home and sleep. Rinse and repeat everyday. Don't loose yourself trying to fit in a white society. Don't demonize your people. 100 Likes 9 Shares |

Yes they are selfish, why not come out since to protest for their rights, or at least wait till we are through with Endsars protest. Why must it be now ![](/faces/huh.png) This people are nuisance, if you allow them to practice this their so called LGBT rights, they will like to smear it on our faces. Talking about lynching them, how many of them have you seen being lynched, murdered or imprisoned before![](/faces/huh.png) You can tell me about the discrimination and I will totally agree with you but not nobody is being hurt because he/she is a gay, Nigerians don't even have their time. Hahaha.... Nigerians don't have their time ![](/faces/huh.png) ? But look at how angry you are just because they come out to state that they want to be treated like everyone else. BTW..... You must be living under a rock to say that LGBT community members are not being molested, tortured, abused and killed without care in Nigeria 2 Likes 1 Share |
Programming / Re: Journey To Being A FULLSTACK Web Developer by Ayohbk(m): 8:01pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
ProfAmaben:
Lemme tell you something you already know. Programming is HARD!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you have all the time in Earth, it's still HARDDDDDDDD. If you're not from a CS background, kindly find solace in frontend development, frontend development is still Very HARDDDDDDDD but you'll be on a level ground cos React isn't taught in university.
Fullstack development is harder cos you are a hybrid and handle projects from start to finish. Don't mind these online tutorials o! When it comes to solving client issue, you'll search the entire YouTube for help and wouldn't get any.
If you can afford a coding bootcamp kindly do. I assure you that after 6months in the best hands, you can start applying for jobs if you are already familiar with programming.
I'm a self taught developer and I can tell you that it's not easy, but with hard work and using the best resources, you would surely overcome.
Divide your learning to Frontend then Backend. Learning both at the same time may cause tutorial hell (always depending on tutorials to code). Be proficient in one first before going to the next. My candid advice. Thanks bro |
