      @DrTabat  Рік тому +2

      Hey Lilian. The good thing about being a resident in Saudi is access to free healthcare. In as much as I am tempted to say it is likely to be a viral wart, I'd advise that you see a dermatologist who will see it properly and better manage it.
      Walk into any Primary Healthcare Centre close to you and the needful will be done.

      Hello chief. It depends on where you reside in Saudi....If you are in the urban settings, it's easier to find a couple of international schools but in the rural settings, that pretty hard to find. But there are public schools everywhere where it's free of charge for legal dependants. But the curriculum is in Arabic though. So your kids can learn the language also

    I really admire the work ethic, the culture, the eloquence of the Nigerians and other Africans, and their dedication to educational/professional pursuits. Something I experienced first-hand while visiting Nigeria for a couple of weeks.
    The entire continent is blessed with such talent despite the history of colonial predation by the Europeans and despite the ignorant attitudes of the Age of Reason philosophers like Hegel who doubted the abilities of Black Africans. The Nigerian government is just as harmful to the furtherance of greatness of Nigerians as the racist philosophers were of old with their negative and immature perceptions of non-Europeans that created a culture of disrespect for and unawareness of the latent capacities of other humans.
