@TurfTactics@LeftyCelt@BanterV2Mfrs@Steven_Swinford@matt_dathan By your logic, it is okay for foreign born nationals to pay and contribute into a pot that funds all that you have listed above and more via taxes but should NEVER enjoy any of it even after 9 years??
Okay, very clear.
“Let me tell you one bad thing about working in Japan. In Japan you don’t get fired from your place of work, rather you get ostracized. They won’t give you sack letter; they disengage you, they take responsibilities from you. You won’t be assigned any task. If you have a login ID, they will change your password so you can’t access your PC. So you will come to work and be siting around. No one will engage you, but the company will still be paying your salary. If you quit on your own, you won’t be entitled to government unemployment benefits. If you’re sacked, the government will be paying you employment benefits till you get a new job.”

Nigerian Senate Rejects Mandatory Electronic Transmission of Election Results
The Nigerian Senate has rejected proposed amendments that would made electronic transmission of election results compulsory, opting instead to retain the existing provisions from the 2022 Electoral Act.
During plenary session on Wednesday, senators considered the Bill for an Act to Repeal the Electoral Act No. 13, 2022, and Enact the Electoral Act, 2025. A key proposed clause (new Clause 60(5)) that would have required presiding officers to electronically transmit polling unit results in real time to INEC's IReV portal after completing Form EC8A was rejected.
The Senate retained the 2022 framework, which mandates manual completion, signing, stamping, and distribution of results to party agents and security personnel, with results announced at polling units and transferred "in a manner as prescribed by the Commission" – without mandating electronic transmission.
Senators also rejected Clause 47, which sought to allow electronically-generated voter identification (such as downloadable voter cards with QR codes) for accreditation. The requirement to present a physical Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) remains in place, while the use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) or other INEC-prescribed devices for verification was upheld.
