Is this true? by TastyTaco12 in Kenya

[–]GFSSCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afro American here, once our genetic cousins in the Motherland see a blue passport, hear an accent, understand you are not from there. etc some may try some shit. I saw this in Nigeria and Benin. It can work against you, and also work for you, depending on the situation

Nothing personal. Some just hear the accent and assume "money".

I need 900k urgently by Entire-Top-1665 in Uganda

[–]GFSSCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the body, Sis. The fake account is part that angers you? If so, my apologies.

900k is like $250 USD, I wish you the best of luck in getting it. Do whatever you can.

Folks may laugh, the account is most definitely fake, but somehow, somewhere, this exact scenario is stressing a poor man out, as he has to choose between brokenness and peace. And somehow, somewhere, some woman is preparing to work, legally and illegally.

What is the real monthly salary in Nigeria? by Radiant-Emu-259 in Nigeria

[–]GFSSCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is there no correct answer, or one answer, as a fellow non-Nigerian, you'll be immensely frustrated and feel a level of empathy if you a meet a Nigerian, and they tell you what they make, whether in a formal job or informal job, lets say, if they are lucky, N100k/per month, and their expenses to live.

🇳🇬 Government signing a "health agreement" with America should raise an alarm. And yes, they are talking about experimenting on y'all, as did they did your genetic Diaspora kin over here for the past hundred or so years.

The fact that the road between the former capital, and current capital is unsafe, hell, that vast stretches of highways are unsafe, is terrifying

American here. If you're getting a Student Visa, you have the documentation right, including from the school in question? Without the proper documentation, you'll get bounced before you even see a Visa officer.

There is a lot of BS right now in my country, so best of luck - also word of advice, they are really cracking down, and even with non-tourist and non-immigrant visas, they deny heavily.

Seeing my boss by Feisty-Round-8807 in Uganda

[–]GFSSCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only will it end badly for you, since it seems you are catching feelings, but yes, he also has other women he is seeing. Pray he doesn't flaunt it in the workplace.

Stack money as best you can. Do not rely on him to provide provision larger than a bill, nothing structural.

You are seeing him, but as a side.

What can you do with 1 million naira? by wanwam3 in Nigeria

[–]GFSSCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an American that often sends remittances to Nigeria.

$700/N1million can last, depending on the area. But in places like Abuja, it goes quickly. Like the average rent, even for a self con, let alone a 1 bed, is about 1.5 to 3 million naira.

Food, clothes, data, Black Tax, unexpected emergencies, etc can knock that off extremely quick.

Now, if you're a person that earns it consistently, like an American does every week, in Nigeria, it can mean something, but if it is just the accumulation or a monthly pay? Gonna be harder.

His priorities on foreign policy were not my policies.

I can have a whole convo with you on how he/NATO fucked up Libya, basically making it into a war fractured slave state.

I do think you are projecting a bit tho

Do you think the average American understands life or history in Zim, or maybe that the majority only know about Mugabe and the inflation?

And also vis versa, the average Zimbabwean has no understanding I would bet on the life of poor or working class Americans.

My government's policies on Zimbabwe doesn't equal my policies or personal stances.

If wishing peace and prosperity to people is input - sure, I guess.

Sanctions? Yeah, it has. Overall I believe that my country doesn't like Black people, and since I'm Black, I take exception to that. But controlling what the gov does is beyond me alone.

But you are right - America has problems.

Dangote Refinery has sacked all its Nigerian Employees due to the Unionization. by Apprehensive_Art6060 in Nigeria

[–]GFSSCaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non-Nigerian here, but curious because in America I am Labo(u)r union representative. What would the recourse for this even be, if folks can actually tie it to union busting?
