what is the code brother

I don't know the exact code bro. I haven't interacted with oyibo in reality but I have on different social media platforms.

What i think is that most white girls like Africans cos we are outgoing and funky. You know we African run things and are really happening dudes wink

White girls from different countries have different interests. Polish girls love to date black men because of the ''myth ' surrounding our ehm clear throat grin you understand wink

As for Canadians, the ones i met believed that black skin is sexy, and black and white together looks sexy and black men are usually more passionate and work hard to please.

British girls have same interest with the polish girls.

In essence, white girls (just like anyone else) can date black men (or anyone else) for a whole range of reasons. Whether it's just personality, physical attraction, sexual attraction. . .who knows what. One unattractive thing we do is our desperation. If you can let go of that, I believe you will be able to see one oyibo

Yes I had a friend here who came to study human resources. When she got here, she noticed that it wont br lucrative in the job market and with my advice, she switched to cybersecurity in the second week of the academic calendar.
I did Economics as my bachelor's then decided to spice it up by studying Data Analytics.
God really direct our path tho
I applied to do accounting at covenant university the first year, I wasn't even given admission.
The second year, I did the same thing but applied to study Economics in Redeemers university.
Covenant gave me Marketing for accounting but RUN gave me my course. I chose the latter. Is it that they want me to be walking up and down to advertise? Hian.

First semester I do three courses
1. Data storage and solutions
Here we use Microsoft SQL server, Visual Studio, Visio, Tableau, Hadoop and Neo4
2. Statistics for Data Analytics, where we use Rstudio
3. Programming for Data Analytics. We just use R studio

You need lots of experience, you'll have to be a manager to get 30k monthly. people that earn up to this are very few. You see, income here is more distributed. If you earn that amount, what you may take home may be like 20k monthly.
That tax will be used to cater for those that are on the lower spectrum and the money comes back to you in kinds.

Bro really appreciate what your doing taking your time to write down your experience and all that.
Currently waiting to serve, studied industrial chemistry and honestly was not always a fan of traveling abroad but bro from all the things going on around i really need to. Its kinda abit long so just bare with me

1: am learning coding bought some course and practice on my free time the question is how can i come over there without using the school route and how much it would cost me
2 : if the school route is easiest is it possible that i pay for something like a coding bootcamp because i feel that’ll be cheaper for me. And i don’t want to have to spend a lot and want to have the ability to work full hours as soon as possible without having to spend 1 year or 2 years. Then when I’ve saved enough I’ll enroll for my masters
3: God bless you and much love......

Cars!!!!!!!!
One of the things I observed here is the choice of cars here. In this country, we have very few jeeps and even the few jeeps we have are not for casual driving.
What is abundant here are small cars with Blender as engine. That's the derogatory way Nigerians see these kinds of vehicles.
It is normal for a family to enter their Picanto and be off. Husband or wife driving, with the other spouse in the next seat and the kids at the back.

If you try it in Nigeria, they'll think you're not doing well at all. Just before I came to this country, my sister was wondering the choice of cars to get. I must say that I didnt support her to buy a compact vehicle like a mini cooper or a picanto. I felt they were not safe. The good cons I considered was the fact that they were environmentally friendly and money friendly in terms of fuel.
Will she now carry it and be struggling the road with those Tippers, danfo, trailers?
Someone even said, lol, that the breeze from Dangote truck will sweep her out of the road.

If my Dad should wake up one morning and decide to buy a compact car and command us to enter it on Sunday, though my church is just ten minutes from my home in lagos.The pastor might think we moved from Grace to grass and demand we need the Word that will change our life.
But that is the way they roll here, cars like this is great for Lagos and If you dont do much interstate travelling. Its easy to pack them, wash, fix the tyre, and all.
The electric ones are even better, battery can last.

Land cruisers, Prado, pickup trucks, that our politicians use to do convoy in Nigeria is used to tow heavy luggage.
I see them alot in use to tow mini houses, smaller storage cabins with wheels and others. Construction workers drive them alot.

You know yourself, if you dont drive outside the state much and dont need that huge storage space, why in the world do you need a Jeep. I haven't seen a Tundra since I've been here. The day I saw a G-wagon, I had to soak in the sight.its just once I saw one since I've been here, This place screams income equality. It's why my boss can afford to pay me more than the minimum wage.

Rollsroyce, convoys, never seen any.
I really wonder how the Prime minister moves around.
I'm sure he drives himself. I may have blocked him in front of traffic sef.

It's as if cars do not have horns. They rather wait for you to walk across the road majestically. Even during the Rush hours, its silent. It's normal for them wait for me to cross and smile. Even when they're waiting for a chance to enter fast traffic and they see me coming, they reverse their car so I can cross conveniently. The first time they did it for me. I was thanking the person passionately.Till I got home and reason the situation. Danfo man in my country will be glad to have my a piece of my cloth decorate his bus. The man simply did what was Right by backing up to let me walk not to Run like a criminal.

What a sane country!

I wish there was another way,
Another route will be to get yourself grounded in coding, apply from Nigeria and get a job. The company will sponsor your Visa and all. I have seen this work in the UK. Not sure from here. This isn't an easy route.
Most of this country want you to study at least a yr course to start life. So you should plan your way, you can try to do a diploma which might be cheaper and all.

There is a General study visa thread that's dedicated questions like this.
You might get other people opinion which will be of use to you.

Lol, thanks for the compliment,
Who told you I was single? If you mean Not married, That's true then.
This Covid19 period, just felt like the right time to do this, ordinarily, once people start a thread like this, they always get overwhelmed and stop At Some Point.
My responses will continue to be Lightening fast till the Lockdown is over.
Re: Adventure In Ireland by Chiggsglover(m): 3:05pm On Apr 08, 2020
This is the seating arrangement in this sad period.
As usual in seated in the last in this Doubledecker bus, this is my favorite seating position.
Whenever the bus route involves tight street that involves lots of tight cornering, I sit at the front seat in The Top BUNK, the view there in those tight cornering is amazing, these drivers are so good that you'll think they'll hit a water pole or those street lights. Plus they do it very fast.

At every point in time, not more than 10 people can enter this bus during this period. To ensure the 2meter space and all. Sometimes I get disturbed how the government will make their money.

The government imposed a rule here that we shouldn't go beyond 2km wide radius of your house except for groceries reason and health situation just in a way to reduce the spread. And so far people are obeying it
UK own, the situation isnt nice, summer has started, the lockdown isnt as bearable. As you know how hot UK can be, ireland weather is currently 16 degrees, I miss the cold tho. While I was jogging some minutes ago, I saw my sweat, before I knew it, the irish wind licked it quickly, I was happy tho.


I'm going to post a shot of the top view of the bus later, it feel like I'm the one that's driving it. A video would have done better justice.

The first time I saw such a bus was in my primary school. It was in Lagos, I was done with school then, so I was walking home.
Then I saw it, my and my friend started calling it, One storey Bus. It looks like a one story building actually.
To actually be in one has a great feeling.
The Dublin bus is scattered all over.
The one with just one coach is for going to another County.
