Scaffolding is another area of construction we are not benefiting from because we are not building enough high rise buildings. There are 27,000 registered scaffolders in the UK according to CIRS. The UK has circa 60 million. Say Nigeria 200m we can train 81,000 people
If we are aggressively building. These are skills that are in demand. Some scaffolders earn more than the UK Prime Minister in terms of salary. Scaffolders earn about £40,000 a year.They don't need to go to school. Just training and certification. But we need to build aggresively

A lot of people are asking about undergraduate scholarships. Please check through the following links. I have put different countries in it. My DM is open for questions but please look through the information very well. Some countries visa requirements are easy, some are hard,
so find the path of least resistance. Check the country's embassy requirements and see if it is achievable.

My Father had a vision, but my mum backed it and enforced it. Iya Wale is a disciplinarian. No nonsense mother. She is fierce, tall, and beautiful. Despite how bad we were suffering, people will see mummy and ask her what cream she is using. Na adi agbon we dey use. She has no
money for make-up, just small powder, and she is ready. All around ilupeju, if any child is out of control, they will take him/her to Iya Wale. Ara a bale (he/she will learn). We did not have a television in the house for years because we couldn't afford it. Uncle Ganiyu Gilo
(very popular in ilupeju) may his soul rest in peace; got us a second-hand one at a meager price. Even at that, my mum doesn't want us watching it for too long. If she steps into the room and sees you watching TV. Her first questions are, have you done this, this, this,

They say it is always better to learn from other people's mistakes. For all people trying to leave Nigeria on a student visa, I know say the country hot right?

1. Don't be fixated on the big countries. I made that mistake too going to America five times like say na there
my destiny dey. Some people will go to Asia first and land in Canada. ask @olumuyiwaayo @Oludeewon I know my sister @Chilometric has a plan too

2. If you don't have a full scholarship, always check the embassy's website in Nigeria to find out their "proof of financial support"
requirement. Some embassies are stricter than others

3. Behave like Electricity meaning, find your path of least resistance, your easiest route out. A friend went to Helsinki, to Spain, and settled in Britain.

Unfortunately, our lives are no beds of roses. Son of poor man

Anywhere I go, I try to understand the economy, Enjoy their food and culture. I don't drink. I talk to the locals to understand how things work. In Cyprus, I found out one of their main export is Halloumi cheese. It tastes just like the WARA they bring from Ilu Oke, the Oke Ogun
area of Oyo state, which Oke Iho is part of. Halloumi is goat cheese, the farmers call it White Gold. The global market for halloumi is circa $222 million. I am sure Nigeria can tap into that market massively and put forex income in people's pockets.
Tourism. Gambia and Cape Verde are making more money from tourism because people find the secure and safe. I know British friends that spend £2000 a year on holiday to these places.We need to improve our security. When I was in Spain. I struck a conversation with the woman that

When things were tough I started getting depressed and losing my memory, I will hold to my brother Muhammed and cry. This was my only assett. I cannot afford to lose my memory. What will become of me. I tried not to talk so people wont notice. I just kept having flashbacks.
Bring your American Founder to Nigeria to come gain experience. I believe I have what it takes to slug it out with the best in the world. But this load pulling an African child back is preventing him from shining, reminds me of Archimedes principle.
When a body is wholly or partially submerged in a fluild, It experiences an upthrust which is equal to the weight of fluid displace. I was shy and timid. I couldn't talk to the girls I liked but you know in everything give thanks. I want Generation Z to prepare and be ready.
