THE COST OF YAHOO YAHOO FRAUD AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF NIGERIANS ACROSS THE WORLD.

I applied to do PhD in Applied mathematics and computational science in December 2018. February 2019, I had the first interview in core maths areas like differential equations, probability
and statistics, linear Algebra, vector calculus and graph theory. I did so well that the professor said, if you get into kaust, please visit my office.

In March, I did another interview. In April, I did the third interview.
Then I got an invitation for the final interview in Dubai for third of 3rd May. Kaust booked my hotel and sent me a flight ticket from Pittsburgh, USA to DXB Dubai.

I pleaded with my professor in the USA to reschedule as exam so I can leave the USA on
1st of May to be able to make it to Dubai on time (because Dubai is 8hours ahead, I need to leave atleast 2days ahead of time).

I applied for Dubai visa that time, and the application was declined twice.
The reason, some Nigerians robbed a bureau de change in Dubai few days before my application.

I was eventually slated for Skype interview due to inability to get the visa on time.

At the end, I lost the admission.
It's normal to prioritize applicants who went through the normal procedure. In this case those who made it to Dubai had upper hand.

That scholarship like the one I lost in 2016 is worth 60million naira.

That join the list of scholarships I lost because I am a Nigerian.
4 PhD scholarships, worth of an estimated 250million naira in total.

Thats the cost I paid for corruption and yahoo yahoo.

I am still not giving up on naija, because if someone had given up on naija, I won't be where I am today.
I believe the best I can do, is to replicate what he has done.

We should talk to ourselves. We should stop eulogizing rich people when we know they couldn't have made the money legitimately. That will help reduce the mad rush to make money damning consequences.
Regardless of the tribe of the criminal, we all pay one way or the other as long as we are Nigerians.

Let me debunk with facts about what the CEO of Airpeace said “Anybody Earning 200K Monthly In Nigeria Is Better Than Someone That Is Earning 2000 Dollars In The UK Or USA”

If you live in the UK and earn £2000 per month, there are tendencies that you will not be living in London even if you work in the city. And if your work is remote-friendly, you will usually work from home.
#Thread
If you are single, your monthly bills and expenses take £1500, you can conveniently save £500 monthly.

If you are married, together with your spouse you make an average of £3500 monthly after tax, after deducting your family expenses, you can conveniently save at least £2000 monthly or even say £1500.
A single person after saving £500 monthly, would have saved £6000 in a year, and for a married couple saving £1500 monthly would have saved £18000.

With £2000, the single person can get a good car and pay monthly, same for the married couple.

If they have children, it is free standard public education until they are in college.

Consider access to basic amenities like good roads, electricity, security etc.

Let's consider someone earning, 200k in Lagos, let his monthly expenses including house rent and other matters of financial emergency be 100k and he saved 100k monthly, at the end of the year he will have 1.2 million in savings.

Remove children's school fees, medical fees etc from the savings.

Tell me which kind of car he can buy with his yearly savings?

What house will he build with that amount?

Who is a content entrepreneur?

Let's do a thread on how anyone can become a content entrepreneur.

A content entrepreneur(CE) consistently delivers information to a group of people, building a loyal audience, and monetizing the audience over time.

A CE also creates content to build a long-lasting business, others begin from a channel, like Twitter and diversify to others.
You can easily begin your content creating adventure as a hobby.

And then build a sustainable business around it.

A CE builds a content business, not using content as a marketing tool, side gig or hobby.

Know the difference, a CE operates in the passion and content economy.

The Police people at Ogudu police station wants to cover their personnel on the illegal detention and extortion of @_VALKlNG

We want to see the @PoliceNG officers who collected 260k from @_VALKlNG.

We must put an end to this mess. @segalink
For records we are not interested in the refund of the money only.

We are interested that such police officers must face the consequences of the their actions.

If @_VALKlNG didn't come online to talk, those criminals would continue their evil actions.

@segalink #EndSARS
The DPO said the criminal @PoliceNG officers are back to work.

Can you imagine? People who kidnapped and extorted a young man of 260k have returned back to work to continue their evil work.

We want to see the officers and put their face here.

This evil must stop. #EndSARS
