This is also why we said you people shouldn’t turn the nonsense she said into a laughing matter.
They already think we’re clowns and don’t rate us.
The best thing we can do is not give them a good laugh.
Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
If anyone sends you money and you feel like it’s not up to your standard or class,
Ask for their account number and send it back to them.
Don’t ever come here to use your stupid entitled mouth to tell us that it’s small.
Give them their money back and don’t be a thief.
Presenter: “This award is on behalf of the City Boy Movement.”
Zlatan wasted no time collecting the mic: “No be City Boy movement we come do for here.” 😂👏🏽
The other day i was arguing with someone about how books like 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' are foolish to Nigerians at large.
One of the points i raised was that financial literacy cannot cover for systemic failures.
This is a prime example of the statement: “you cannot out-hustle a bad system.”
Imagine a loan was taken for this.
In 2022, he could have faced Brazil in the semi-final but Brazil lost to Croatia.
In 2010, he could have faced England in the quarter-finals but England lost to Germany.
In 2014, he could have faced Portugal in the Round of 16 but Portugal got knocked out in the group stage.
Italy didn’t even make it out of the group stage the last time they were in the World Cup
Meanwhile, Messi advanced to the next round in all of these stages while the people he was supposed to play against didn’t
So how was any of this Messi’s fault?
