Two lads at leaving cert age came to Ireland and got As in maths despite having no English… That’s incredible in fairness. What’s 2 + 2 = 4 in Nigerian?

Electrical engineers making six figures was the bit I couldn’t reconcile

861

I’d say that’s limited to certain sections of society tho? But good to know.

I would say the rural areas would use their own languages a bit more. There’s probably 25 or 30 different languages there

Edit: google tells me there are over 500 languages spoken in Nigeria

I’d say they are doing shift work in some big multinational high end manufacturing and working horrendous hours to do so. Shift allowance, bonus and over time I’d say it would be very possible but straight 9-5, not a hope.

Dan was exactly right -before Bressie. His mental health awareness campaign led to him cleaning out the accounts of a suicide charity he founded in 2012.
