I know it’s a sponsored post when they say they are too broke to come back, like really? A one way ticket to Nigeria should cost between £400 to £700 depending on the airline. Anyone that truly wants to return to Nigeria from the UK will make that in a month or less foregoing every other thing and return to Nigeria. If you go to the UK Government and ask to return to Nigeria they will put on the next available flight back to Nigeria they’ll rather do that than you coming to claim asylum. Too broke to return ke’ !

2005 is the earliest on my list because there was no trophy in 2004, the year I actually started following them. Imagine watching an underdog team defeat one giant after the other in the build up to the Miracle of Istanbul, the feeling is unforgettable.
And FYI there are more Nigerian Liverpool fans who started watching them in the 90s than there are loyal Chelsea fans today.

You are arguing with a child can’t you tell?

ify2016:
Champions league
World club cup
Europa league
Conference cup
Epl
Carling cup
FA Cup
Community shield.

Which trophy Chelsea never carry?

Non for now.

Up Blues

That’s not correct. If it was an option Chelsea will rather finish 4th than lifting this cup. This is the right order below

Champions league
EPL
Europa cup
EPL 2nd position
EPL 3rd position
EPL 4th position
FA cup
Carling cup
Community shield

I know. We're talking about a comparison of 2019-2024 UK immigration ease vs same period and even till now for other western countries. Enough people with ission, money paid and good IELTS scores still were denied Canadian/US student visa o...na publicly available info. Where you read say during Boriswave any UK student visa was denied? I haven't read one single case of that here on nairaland, neither do I know anybody personally who was denied....just one. But peeps don't want to agree that it was way way easier for some unfathomable reason. No be today I don dey see cognitive dissonance on display here, so not really shocked/surprised

Na express entry prior to the category based draws with crs scores of 500 and above dem qualify for, I hear una. Person wey get two masters with band 8.5 and tcf sef still dey hope say e go make cut-off, na that one Una dey say dey same as person wey get CAS, arrange POF and enter UK all within 3months or less. Lol.. laughable

Yes I agree with what you are saying. The UK know it’s not easy to remain in their country illegally as it’s almost impossible to live a sensible life there without claiming asylum or running out when you can’t legalise your stay, as the system is made to frustrate you without papers/sponsorship after your education. In EU/US it can be easy to hide under the radar and do normal every day stuff.

Treadway:
again, much ado about nothing.

This is not me looking down on anyone, or talking about the abuse. No twist simple sturvs.

This is me saying emphatically that the UK was EVIDENTLY the easiest place to emigrate to in the west, compared to the other countries and a huge chunk of those who emigrated would not have stood half a chance with other 'desirable' countries, hence the decision to go with the far easier UK. Virtually had a 100% success rate, just get CAS from any school, and arrange POF and you and your family don enter. Argue all you want, it doesn't change this truth/fact. Again how many even wrote or needed to just one hurdle of getting good IELTS grades to get in. There were absolutely no barriers, none! Get CAS and pack your family enter simple. That wasn't the case with other countries.

The UK Tory Government under Boris Johnson opened the floodgates for immigrants to come in easily because they needed the people this was just after Covid and BREXIT. It never used to be that easy. Boris brought in 2 years post study visa and all that bringing dependant thingy to make it even more attractive for foreign students. They loosing the immigration rules when they need people and tighten it when they are done. The US were dishing out Visas in the early 2000s to the Obama era. I knew a lot of people who came to US on visit visas that are not Citizens there now. People will always abuse it once them open road!

Seun please we need night mood on Nairaland.

ekhai:
WHAT KIND OF SPEECH IS THIS? YOU CAN STILL WIN THE EPL IF LIVERPOOL WILL LOSE ALL THEIR MATCHES. WHICH LIVERPOOL WILL LOSE THEIR REMAINING MATCHES? GET READY TO GIVE LIVERPOOL A GUARD OF HONOUR WHEN YOU MEET. ARSENAL IS ALWAYS WINNING NEXT SEASON.

The guy was just being sarcastic. You read it literally Lol

Nairaland is a failed website

Tinubu is to blame. just as he can order state of emergency on Rivers state, he can also order crude to be sold to Dangote in naira if he as president has Nigerians at heart. Watch as they come out to say Nigeria is loosing revenue selling crude in naira as opposed to dollars to Dangote

Bigshots001:






Tufiakwa my friend!! Again I say Tufiakwa!!!
Who taught you history in school, or do you just sit around some nitwits and listening to them discuss ignorantly the world politics and you run off with words.
You have shown above every person on this forum that you're the most awarding winning daftest of all.
STFU please if you don't have something to say.

You wrote nothing up there other than announcing your yourself as A BIG FOOL you stupid donut . Advice for you, stop engaging in discussions with your emotions

mp3ree:


Seems you're from another world? The so called 5 European power can not match russia military might, so stop deluding yourself. Why are they asking for America help?

They are not asking for help they want America’s money. America is Europe cash cow and that’s what America was created for. Don’t let your emotions get in the way only would take on Russia they did it when Russia was the Soviet Union a larger than the present Russia now. There’s no technology made anywhere that can’t be made in Europe

IgOga:
The US created NATO....all Europe has been allowed along is a leach.....if the US withdraws all these we are sending men to Ukraine will change asap. What this mean is that if Russia attack these NATO countries the US will just stay out of it. Russia will roll them over...

US has the intelligence that help twart Russia moves in Ukraine in the early days....and even now US intelligence is what is keeping Russia at bay but slowly Ukrainians are being slaughtered and Russia retains about 20% of Ukraine land. That land is gone forever except a deal can be made

Europe made America and Europe can destroy it. Where was Russia when was taking on the world in WW2 on its own for 5 years. Just because men calm down doesn’t mean they are weak. If the 5 power house of Europe team up they will smoke Russia and that America. Even Japan caught America sleeping on Pearl Harbour

Amayabor1:


Overrated to you. Ask Nigerians leaving the UK to Canada

Those ones don’t know they are going from fry pan to fire. The whole abroad thing dn cast

ReubenE:

Colonialism is real ke. For same UK that actually colonized the US in the past.

The US is only there to offer them protection as they are a tiny and weak country now

UK also have military base in the US Georgia and different parts of the world not everyone likes to make noise or proof they are big.

tishbite43:
The US got bases in the UK?!
Colonialism is real

The UK also have a military base in Georgia USA.

wonder233:
His paymasters at IMF and World Bank instructed him to do both simultaneously.

Nobody instructed him to do that. He did it on the day of his inauguration. Nigeria politicians and black people are stupid. That’s why Africa is so backward. Nigeria did not even face half of what China and Some Asian countries doing well today face in the hands of the west but they believe the are the masters of their own destinies.

CorrectionFLuid:


It's not really about ideology. The fact is nobody likes this country, and nobody is invested in it's progress.
Those people from that region you talked about, they won't vote a Bola Ahmed Tinubu if they had a country of their own. But nobody loves Nigeria. So it becomes a game of who wins and who doesn't.

It's not totally a matter of ideology. It's a game of superiority, to make a statement, tribal and/or religious, at the cost of the country.

This is the best description of Nigeria. You are on point, undoing ourselves is what makes us fulfilled in this country. Nigeria will never go forward until we as a people change how we view this country

Slytiger:

UK Parliamentary, a big NO.

Didn’t you see common wealth citizens there?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
The West don't care because it's not Israel or Ukraine.

Does Africa care about Africans?

nairalanda1:





Ah the old minimum wage argument

But let's say that an American uses 4 dollars to buy a gallon....since their minimum wage is 14 dollars...the truth is, how long is that gallon going to last him?

Therein lies the problem.

Add the fact that the same guy is paying taxes, paying insurance, paying a host of other costs...rent included...out of that 14 dollars a gallon.

The fact is, most Americans rely on their car....so their fuel expenses are going to be a lot

Plus here is the daily spending of an average american




Let's assume that an american earns 14 dollars per hour. Let's assume they work from 8am to 5pm...that's 9 hours...which means they earn less than 140 dollars, which means they don't have enough money for the above.


The truth is, the way you guys do minimum wage, you take the amount americans earn and apply it to Nigerian situation. Meanwhile if you apply it to USA situation, a chap on minimum wage won't earn enough to make a living.


Plus, someone on minimum wage in the USA and Nigeria won't be owning a car.

You must think you are talking to some idiots sat in Nigeria. Who spends all that you’ve quoted up there everyday? You even went on to say someone on minimum wage in America can’t afford a car, yes might not be able to buy a brand new car but will definitely get a used car in 3 months if a car is their priority

DaddyCoool:


Yes, as in below

(Note: 4 liters is more than a gallon)

Average minimum wage per hour in America is $14. So an average American on minimum wage is spending less than half of an hour pay to buy a gallon of patrol, In Nigeria were minimum wage is 30,000 naira one would be spending a whole days pay to buy same 1 litre of petrol. So how does the comparison work oga?

The guy is tired! He is loosing steam

Mushmush:

He is wiser than your demigod Peter Obi. So Mr Pandora Peter Gregory Obi didn't build any school during his 8 years tenure as the governor of Anambra state? What a shame. Reno said it on live TV that he will give anyone $10k who can show him one school Mr Pandora Peter Gregory Obi built. Not renovation! It's a shame that some senseless Nigerians actually thought that Mr Pandora can be the President of this country. Come 2027, he will still collect koboko from the Jagaban of Africa. Obi ers, receive sense in the name of Jesus

Building new things is an old trick used by politicians to fill their pockets. They inflate the budget and build rubbish without maintaining the existing infrastructures. The southern part of Nigeria do not lack schools, It lacks very good schools. Obi is right to renovate and maintain existing Schools.

segsman:
He told you His God is a consuming fire.... Don't toy with that bro

Ask Daddy freez who dear men of God

God never ask us to refer to him as a consuming fire bro.. God said to Moses if they ask who sent you say “ I am who I am” Consuming Fire is used by Nigerian pastors to threaten people

He didn’t even tell us who his God is

christejames:



😂


Bro you funny ooo



Apart from cities like Enugu, Aba, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, parts of Lagos and Calabar which other Nigerian city felt even a touch of planning in them by the colonialists? And the areas touch here were places this people live and are exclusive to them alone which is unlike that of the French where they plan the whole city across length and breadth which is not just for them alone but also for Africans who them...


You should have enquired why the French are the least racist amongst this colonialists even till date.

Bro you need to travel to educate yourself and stop dishing out beer parlour gist

christejames:



Because those countries were engaged in some turmoil due to the political greed of Africans doesn't mean the French didn't achieve anything worthwhile for them.


Check the ancient city layout for those cities and how some of govt of those countries are currently and judiciously following the development plan.


Check out the plans and current city layout for Niamey, Cotonou, Lome, Dakar, Douala, Bamako, Abidjan, Kinshasa and other French colony city and compare them with their English counterparts.

The same applies to Nigeria as well.

christejames:
One thing you should know is that Algeria 🇩🇿 was a French colony and French colonialist unlike their English counterpart adopted the policy of assimilation in almost all their colony, developing the places like their own homes even while milking the place but the English colonialist? Those ones are worst than bandits in almost all their colony, they only touched few places mainly in the Southern part of the continent because of the weather which is kind of similar to theirs and they even want to take up those place permanently as their home as they did New Zealand and Australia



And again, not just Algeria but the whole North African major cities look that way because they are also closer to Europe where they trade and have some economic activities with.

Have you been to French Sub Sahara colonies? The likes of Mali, Niger, Cameroon Congo etc.. We Africans kept ourselves backwards no one elsewhere did. The English has many well to do colonies than the French and Spanish colonies.. Bad leadership and bad followers is what finish us in Nigeria

StOla:
You think they do anything for your own benefit?

UK will use you and after 30years, all you can claim to your name is that you have pension to pay rent.

Once they detect that immigrants are taking up juicy jobs they have envisioned for Citizens only, they come up with another policy.

Very smart people who know how to use others to make their country work.

Till today, I cannot count 5 Nigerians who made it big in UK outside of sports. Even the Nigerians in UK entertainment had to go to the USA to make it big.

All are just surviving.

Same cannot be said about the USA and the opportunities that abound for legal migrants.

Nigerian professionals change jobs in the US as fast as a dirty area boy changes his boxers. But for UK, Segun and Emeka still work in the same company that managed to employ them 10years ago without anything tangible to show for it.

Lose that UK job, and you will know that there are no other jobs to get in the UK.

UK?

Yuck!

where are the people in UK seeing money to remit back to Nigeria

ChristCee:
Do you know the funniest thing about these pictures? I am living in Russia and I am looking at this news as if it happened in a different foreign country far away. As in, Russia is very big and unique. My city is about 7- 9 hours from Moscow based on your type of plane.
.
Most flight would make a stop in Krasnoyarsk or Irkutsk before going to my city increasing travel time to like 13 hours.
.
In comparison, direct from Nigeria to Moscow before Ukraine war was about 6 to 8 hours!
.
.
But every part of Russia is developed. This is where UK and europe. should learn. You colonized a lot of countries and milked them dry...but Russia has a lot of federations in it and the government equally developed every part. Every part of Russia wants to keep being Russia because they love the leadership but how many African countries want to keep being a part of their colonial empire? It says a lot.
.
I am not a 'pro Putin' I really see myself as a neutral person in world politics but to be really honest, If a country in Africa was colonized by Russia, that country would be competing with Europe and china in of development today. Look at all the breakaway countries from former USSR which one of them is poor and suffering? Russia was not milking those people, Russia was developing it.
.
Judging by the very few people that live in my city 350k you would think this place would be a village but no! Pretoria and Johannesburg combined cannot be compare with Yakutsk even though this is the coldest city in the world.
.
To crown it all, Russians love black people. You can even see it in President Putin's policies. Unfortunately we were colonized by Europeans that actually hate black people. One fool from Belgium was even cutting arms of thousands of people in Congo! Chai...Africa has really suffered in the hands of these European supremacists.
.
One of my female friends in the city often send me pictures of half cast kids asking me what I think our baby would look like...I keep avoiding that question.
.
We walk on the street at night as if it's afternoon
No gun violence.
People kiss and hug and display affection publicly without being mocked
.
Everywhere is peaceful
No one avoids you in the bus because of your colour.
.
If people look at you too much just know they are fascinated and want to talk. A simple Привет! And you will see them smiling and asking you questions.
.
.
Honestly...Russia is the country Africa should have befriended a long time ago.

You have made no sense. You must think people are foolish like you

2mch:
This OP is a stark illiterate and all the fools rejoicing on this thread are all blockheads and extremely unintelligent. No way and at no poInt does this article indicate that there is a Change in floating the Naira. It just means the CBN is regulating BDC and the rate with much stricter policies. Making the Naira stronger. A lot of you are fools sha, no wonder Obi could make fool of you people like this and those dumb politicians actually get away with a lot.

Wait till this time next month before you start calling people stark illiterate.

Beverlyjean:
Klopp is a super coach... he is probably on the same level with Guardiola... given that he has never managed an A class team... he creates AClass teams ... he actually used kids to beat Chelsea in the final ... Liverpool and Dortmund were not Aclass teams when he first ed them... gave them league titles against all odds and took Dortmund to the final of UCL and won it with Liverpool ... 3 UCL final with 2 different teams is not easy

Shut up you know nothing about football
