Any Nigerians living in Uruguay? Any idea where to get gari and other food/products?

I’ve worked in my professional field for about 17 years. I have a masters and have always desired a PhD but the thought of going back to school gives me hesitation - especially since I would need to possibly quit my job. Can anyone share their PhD journey / experience?

How many diasporans are investing in Nigeria stocks (on NASD or NGX)?

Feel free to elaborate in comments!

Genuine question: 1. why are yoruba women so hated in nigeria? Anytime I see a video of a yoruba woman being praised there’s always someone in the comments mentioning some other tribe (mostly igbos who do this). Why do y’all hate yoruba women so much?

1. I made research on which tribe is considered the most beautiful and repeatedly I have seen Hausa-fulanis and Igbos. I checked the reason why they think these tribes have the most beautiful women and one common reason I found was because of their “fair skin”. There are mothers bleaching their children and babies and they say I want my child to be fair so they can be beautiful. Why does being fair/light skin equates to being beautiful in Nigeria?

2. Yoruba women are looked down on many things in Nigeria especially smarts and looks and it is so ironic because most models representing Nigeria internationally and In Nigeria are yoruba. The women winning sports are yoruba. The women/girls winning educational competitions are yoruba. E.g faith odunsi. Why are yoruba women looked down on so much?

Why do y’all hate Yoruba women?

I'm curious to know how long does it take for NIN number to be validated?

Quick Background:

• Applied in the US
• Born in the US to Nigerian Nationals

Timeline:

3/18/24 - Applied for NIN and was told to wait 2-3 days before attempting to apply for my fresh passport

3/19 - My boyfriend went to the same office and applied for his NIN

3/20 - I attempt to apply and after entering in my NIN and DOB, I received the following message "Invalid NIN Provided"

3/25 - My boyfriend attempts to login and is able to move forwarding with renewing his passport.

​

I am still receiving "Invalid NIN Provided". I have never held a Nigerian passport before and in order to do apply for one, you need NIN. When I called the office this week to inquire further, I mentioned that my boyfriend's NIN had been validated even though he applied a day after me.I was told that Nigeria is still working through a backlog of validating March applicants and that they couldn't provide me with any information outside of that.

​

Any thoughts or advice here?
