Tinubu is going home come 2026. Mark it down!

I saw similar statements online before Tinubu won the election, “Tinubu will never a president…” “Tinubu will die before inauguration..” etc. In the end, all na BS!

My reply stated....



As I've said it many times, all the Anglo nations...UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada...are the same.

I know plenty of Nigerians in Canada. When President Donald Trump was chasing illegal immigrants many Nigerians ran to Canada. I used to work for a Canadian company and got to know many Canadians. Canada is USA in a cold pack.

Thanks.

Good Luck to Nigerians.




Wrong! The gap between the various legislation for working in these fields in these countries are far and wide! Caregivers in the UK for example are mostly employed by the NHS-related companies, if not directly with the NHS. They’re mostly paid from allocation grants from the government, which put a kind of limit on the earnings… most wages are in line with most regular jobs, even lower up North! In Canada, each fields are often dominated by certain countries folks, which means simply getting up and decide you wanna go work in that field can be a mirage. But then again, the wages are not all that imo! Many in these jobs end up being workaholic with no social life and despair sets in in no time… they too still hv to rely heavily on credits lifestyle to keep up.

Not true, you're absolutely WRONG....I'm writing of the USA in particular. There's lots of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS doing these jobs and since some people think SELF EMPLOYMENT is the only way to prosperity, well most of them are self employed....because they don't have work permits. They're doing better than "get by" please.

Again, I know MANY Nigerian adult men with families who've NEVER done anything else but drive taxis or work as car mechanics. They live in neighborhoods that are as good as any GRA or even Lekki in Nigeria. These are people I've known all my adult life, I saw them get married, I baby sat their children, many of those children are now doctors, pharmacists, plumber, coaches, accountants.

The best known TAILOR here is a Ghanian. He started his business in his house, now he has a regular shop. As far as I know, that's all he does for a living and he lives OK as far as I can tell.

Some Nigerians have done so well as ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS with these "low jobs" that they even established businesses and have become employers. Yes, that is true. There's one fellow that built a huge business and only got his Green Card maybe 3 years ago, after over 25 years in the USA. I have no reason to lie. Any Nigerian who has lived in the USA can tell you this. There's a town near me here where a Liberian became the Town Manager, the town is Zebulon, North Carolina, he started as a maintenance man. Town manager in the USA is equivalent to Head of Service for a town. Somehow after some years it became public knowledge that he was an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

Same thing happened with a full Professor of Mathematics at a government owned University here. Students and in fact the whole academic community supported him and he got to stay. This was over 20 years ago but we're talking about "low jobs" so that's just as an aside.

Right now in the USA is a good time for skilled or semi-skilled trades. I'm sure it's the same in any other Anglo-Western country.

Good Luck to Nigerians.










I thought the OP quoted only Canada and the UK?

Okay. But some guys on the thread are countering what you just said. So which countries will this be productive and why is it not productive in UK and canada?
I’ve lived in both countries and I can tell you that the pay package for any of these jobs is not as much as they’re being overhyped on the internet! And trust me you can’t do any of these jobs as a side hustle cos there’s either not enough demand, like in the case of a phone repairer (cos gadgets don’t get damaged as much for obodo oyinbo as such), or too physically and mentally demanding like in the case of a caregiver! When you’re able to do any of the jobs you simply just do it as a regular job, nothing over-earning as they make them seem!

Not for the standard of living in those countries… the pays are just enough to get by if you’re doing full time, and pointless as a side job if you’re on a another full time job!

You are literally chatting like a psychopath.
It is simply not your business, religion is personal is she worshipping you.

She is dancing wherever if it is a law against the land where she is she would have been locked up, but your issue is religious which is not your business.


You know nothing about the religion, you’re just ranting based on the bigotry you have for the Islam! It’s against the law of that place, the Ka’abah. Because she wasn’t caught doesn’t mean it’s allowed… you can see how paranoid she was when dancing. At Muslims holy sites, ppl go for serious acts of worship, in specific and definitive ways… and unlike Christianity, music and dancing are not part of Muslims acts of worship, unless you invent your own religion then we can agree its personal in which case you can do whatever you like!

That's one thing I hate about Nigerians, only few understand that religion is a personal matter what is your freaking business if she is dancing or not, because you share the same religion with her you feel you can police her on what to do.

It’s the place she chose to do it, that’s what’s wrong about it. Religion is not personal in Islamic faith, the white ppl put that BS slogan in your brains when everything began to go awry in Christianity… but if you’re a devout Christian would you allow a couple shag each other in front of the congregation in your church, and then say ‘religion is personal’?

If it was Iran who first strikes an Israeli embassy, would Israel put its tail btwn its legs and mellow just like that? Most of Israel’s d!ck slurpers including those here in Nigeria would certainly rebuke Iran and push Israel to retaliate asap! Now it’s the other way round and panic already sets in… Israel knows the consequences of going to war with Iran because if, by some miscalculations on Netanyahell’s part, US decided not to support Israel, that would be the end of Israel geopolitical existence!

Israel has been itching to lay hands on Iran and if Iran who we all know is working hard to obliterate Israel, dare to retaliate then Israel will go all out for them. It would be a total mayhem.

Make no mistake about this.

Namaster:
I don't understand modern warfare. People are trying to pretend that war is not war. That it's supposed to be governed by some high ideals. That when you kill people, you have to be somehow humane about it.

That's just NONSENSE!

The objective of war is to OBLITERATE the enemy. You use whatever resources at your disposal to achieve that objective.

If the enemy combatants choose to act like cowards and use civilians as shields, sucks for those civilians because they'd be JUSTIFIABLY neutralised too.

That is what Israel is doing. Plus, Hamas had it coming. Their attack was an exercise in madness. That's like someone like Pawpaw tapping the ass of Anthony Joshua's girlfriend.

It's just madness.

Also USA needs to get their head screwed on straight. Supporting Israel and then airlifting aids to the enemy of Israel is just dumb.

Easy to sit in the comfort of your village and just type opinions on social media! Wars have rules and if those rules are not adhered to then all of your “whatever resources at your disposal” will definitely achieve zero objectives! You can’t start a war and then start to indiscriminately bomb innocent children and then tell the rest of the world you’re not supposed to be humane. If that’s the case we can then say it was stupid of the Nigerian army to have failed to obliterate the entire South Eastern region during our past wars!

U arecsaying nonsense... they dint lease, I meant " they left"... now imagine there's a war going on in ur village, and u guys fled , just like what the fulani is doing to benue ... and the fulani gave that land to the ijaws after u guys fled ... then the igbos come thru to conquer the fulanis that gave that land to the ijaws ( land that's originally owned by the benue people ... now the igbos decide not to displace the ijaws , but instead decide to give back the benue people that were chased away part of their land , and decide to even give them an empty region that the ijaws dint even occupy ... same land that was once occupied by the Egyptians for some time and left ... they never had an issue with the Egyptians... but the moment the Israelis were given back part of their land , the evil Muslim brothers started to attack them left right and center , cos they believe that only Muslims should occupy that spot... a land that is originally owned by Israel... they attacked Israel first and Israel responded.... if u are a Christian, that is the same promise land God gave the Jews when they were enslaved in Egypt... the red sea that moses parted is the border that Palestinians occupy today ... part of Palestine is canaan land that Joshua took the isrealites ... if not for the ottoman empire that conquered them that made them runaway from their land , do u think Palestinians will be there today ?? They ran to different parts of Europe and after what Hitler did to them... the British decided to bring them back to their original land , after they , the British conquered the Turks( ottoman empire) ...History of that land csnt be selected to suit u and ur type ...if u wanna talk about history, then u go to the very beginning and not from the middle ... Palestinians are originally from Lebanon and Jordan, they should go back to their original land ... but Israel even agreed to leave a large portion of their original land for them , but they are still not satisfied...
The west creates Israel in that region for their own strategic interests, they’ve confirmed that multiple times. All of these ppl killing and destroying the Palestinian areas to occupy the lands are not Jews, they don’t believe in God… they kill both Muslims and Christians indiscriminately to maintain dominance! Know where u stand and stop taking sides blindly!

Lies lies lies....propaganda will not work... Gaza was once occupied by Israel, Israel least Gaza for them... infact , they had to exhumed the dead bodies buried decades ago in gaza and the were all buried in a new land I isreal, so that there will be peace ... but still , these evil hamas backed by Palestinians started throwing bombs across to isreal and also attacked soldiers at the borders ... isreal then had to send soldiers into gaza to stop these terrorists and terrorists enablers and supporters ( Palestinians) to stop those terrorists.... billions of dollars was given to Palestine to build and maintain their city, instead of them to use the money to create their own light and water since supply came from Israel, they rather used the money to build their terrorist networks and buy loads of weapons to attack Israel... y do u think Israel had to get their defensive mechanism to stop missiles , its cos of hamas ... all Palestinians want is for Israel to leave Israel or all should be killed ...if Israel dint do what they have been doing , Di u think any of the Israelis will be alive ?? They would have wiped out Israel if they were a weak nation... and the Palestinians support hamas , they are the aame hamas ... they hide them and then claim victims .... the only way to peace is fir Israel to Nuke Palestine and kill every living thing there , since they do not want Israel to live in peace ... if they were not attacking Israel in the first place , Israel will not have had their soldiers there over the years

Utmost nonsense! Stop listening to lies coming from Israeli and western media… listen to academics, historians and other international organisations that hv been involved in Israeli/Palestinian conflicts for decades! You said Israel leased Gaza to the Palestinians… but how can a refugee taken in for protection against persecution then turn around and start leasing landlord’s land back to the landlord’s children? The entire country was Palestine until Israel killed, evicted Palestinians and stole their land to create the state of Israel in 1948! It’s like Britain leasing our own land back to us after ruling and looting Nigeria for more than a century Nigeria, would say it’s ok?
