The sad truth is ...

1. Once overseas, the relocated Naija girl is under pressure to assimilate into society, live at a level which she was previously used to, often much higher than her legitimate "take-home" and also send some money back home.

Without any major back-up, this process takes the best part of 18-24 months for the non-professionals. The professionals might take from 6-36 months depending on the number of mandatory examinations. The biological clock is ticking.

2. Building a reasonable relationship to effect childbearing takes it toll, moreso for a very busy woman looking to fulfill all the elements of black tax without resorting to oloshoism.

3. The previous routes of sham-marriage or anchor babies are no longer guaranteed. The internet has blown those lids off. Whatever wasn't known, has been satirised by our Nollywood directors. The very few success stories no longer seem apparent.

4. Building relationships at this stage, becomes a little difficult as often, each partner has too much luggage which might make for a rather delicate tapestry or balance.

5. However, the woman who has a partner at home before the beginning of her sojourn, has a heavily- vetted someone in whom she's assured of, and can also be invested in. Undoubtedly there will be fights, but with the current protective cultural and social fabric and hypergamous needs of each party, there's a firm focus to resolve... "We're stronger together" remains the family motto.

Eventually, once there are children that further cements the relationship for the foreseeable future.

You've also got to understand that a woman who decides to make this rather difficult sojourn is not cut from the same type of cloth, a lot of our entitled ladies are cut from.. They are not necessarily feminist but just want to forget ahead , taking their destiny in their hands.
This is where some brothers miss it and poorly understand the motivations behind their behaviours.

Divorce rates 20 years down the line are similar for both domiciled and non-domiciled partners..

My perusals stand to be corrected.

New year new resolutions

1. Itemise what your hopes and ambitions for the next 5 years .. realistically
2. Identify ways of accomplishing them..... via Internet, adult education or what have you .
3. Use any vocational skills you have to create additional sources of income, or learn sth new.
4. Take steps of faith, expect obstacles initially, but push past these with firm resolution and prayers.
5. Repeat the successful steps to economic and educational upliftment on a daily basis- perseverance, with intermittent doses of appraisal and reviews to identify what works for you.
6. Start to learn to say NO.... stylishly. When you say No , out of resentment rather than a re-focus, it builds discontent on either side.. but when it's of a new strategic focus, it builds both you and your family.
7. Enjoy this new freedom as you Take charge... It won't be all rosy but you won't feel like a victim!
8. Have a blessed victorious 2024!!

$11bn Judgement Debt: Court Awards £20m Damages in Favour of Nigeria, against P&ID

*Issues 28-day deadline for payment

Well done to the legal team behind this success..

If we are totally cleared of all debt, with no tiny loophole, shall we consider taking the Indian behind Ajaokuta case to court as well...

Internally, the government should look into setting guidelines in place to reduce the likelihood of this happening again.

Hopefully this leads to due diligence on the part of our lawyers and sets a precedence in Internal Investment Law as it applies to Naija..

We won't be taken for fools.

Thanks for the below....

Racial discrimination so glaring!!

What's interesting is that we are programmed to think it's acceptable.

The white Canadian who scammed over 500 people only gets 7 years but a lesser crime by a dark skinned gets upwards of 15-30years...

Is that not a joke??

What a cruel Justice system.

There's more to this tragedy that the 'babas' are aware of... But not ready to intervene.

The 4 cardinal factors are

1. Security
2. Economy
3. Education and infrastructure
4. Governance (limiting corruption, increasing ease of business and safely opening up Tech areas)


How each candidate fares on each item and an overall assessment in comparison to others... Should be an objective way of looking at things.


Rather than all the name calling that often beclouds the issues.

Interesting set of promises .....


Now he needs to tag along the promises the current administration has been able to deliver, alongst timelines...

Otherwise his adversaries will steal ownership or rubbish his stake at it.

Hopefully this raises the profile of those waiting years and decades for their day in court.

And raise reflection on the types of treatment meted out to different cohorts of people.

Not sure about that...

He's looking more responsible and possibly tired of this PR stunts while she's clearly not.

Financial literacy should be taught in high schools.

Why would you stand as a guarantor much less take a loan, on behalf of someone who is not legally bound or obliged to you..

Rather foolhardy, IMHO.

It's either a

1. Honey trap
Or
2. Failed transaction
Or
3. Mentally deranged or attention seeking woman
Or
4. ?Rape ffg coercion




I'd advise the man to get his legal team ready and throw the books at her for defamation of character, if he's let off, ffg police investigations.

That's right, but there's always a vindication on the side of the innocent, that's why no matter how long it takes, the Truth will always prevail.

Not in all cases..

Aware of a case where the chap in question died in prison...

It took the collapse of another false accusation case by the supposed rape victim, to open her' 'can of worms' of successful prisecutions.

Hope there are watertight policies on pollution and environmental impact.

Conservationists should've been involved from the early stages.

Arrrrhhhhhgg, factors are...

Budget
Corruption
Design flaws
Environmental impact..

Pretty as those bridges are, certainly not needed in the areas described...
