Good observation. I thought of this at first but considered that he could be busy and must have signed it hurriedly.

Most exécutives dépend heavily on their secretaries and trust them to do a good job. It's the reason the position should be based entirely on merit.

It's the NPF I blame for belittling themselves with shenanigans of a spoilt few.

If Cops in the States pull you up and you are 'impatient' for them to do their job, then decide to run through them or speed away, you would wish you never left your house that day.

Nonsense yahoo yoot
Very true. When a police officer tells you to stop while driving, you must stop. This applies not just in Nigeria but anywhere in the world. In fact, in Canada, you have to remain in your car after being pulled over and wait for the police officer to come to you. That could take up to 20 mins. You don't come out from your car unless he asks you to. Usually, the officer won't come down from his patrol vehicle until he has backup.

Those cases are far different, those ones already had kids in those countries. She is referring to 40+ newly coming to struggle from the beginning.

Any 40+ that travels abroad at that age is setting themselves up for failure.
not true in all cases. My husband and I relocated in our 40s and we like it here.

Each person's situation is different. There's no general rule for whether or not to immigrate. Everyone should do what works for them.

Just don't travel illegally. If you have PR visa or study visa, take the opportunity.

Crime / Re: Police Admit Killing Barrister Elias Ugwu In Error by ayandee: 9:21am On Mar 15
So sad. Delivering ransom was tough and risky enough then police arrived from nowhere and wanted them to stop. They feared being kidnapped too since some kidnappers even wear police/army uniforms and ran for their lives. They didn't inform the police or the villagers of their mission because in such precarious circumstances, you don't know whom to trust. This is nothing short of being between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The police must be made to pay good compensation to the family. I know the NBA will ensure justice is done.

When the interviewer asked "you are from what state?" After I told him, he then said "oh, but you look Igbo. We will get back to you". That question was completely off-topic and that was the end of the interview. AMCON 2010.

This is not to discredit any tribe or ethnicity. Tribalism and nepotism pervade our institutions and It's not peculiar to any tribe.

I see. But I wonder what they have against palm oil. It's not like you can use it to make bomb.
If it spills, then other people's luggage may be affected. How would you feel having oil on your clothes and documents when you are not even carrying oil?
Family / Re: How I Helped My Sister With Food Items And Accessories To Take To Canada by ayandee: 3:22pm On Feb 13
JuanDeDios:

A whole palm oil? Why?
The scanner will pick it no matter how you hide it and they won't just let it pass through. It could cause delays for the traveller as well. When others are boarding, you will be there rummaging through your luggage to get the oil out. It's not worth it. African stores in Canada generally sell good oil.

Travel / Re: Japa Or Stay In Nigeria by ayandee: 9:52pm On Jan 15
RETURNOFENDSARS:
I'm a lawyer, called in 2016. I'm married with a kid and I'm in my early 30s. My wife is not working, so I have been the one shouldering the responsibility, despite that, God has given me my own house. Three bedrooms flat in front and three bedrooms flat at the back, all with full pop, water heater, full tiles, in fact all the modern facilities.
In all honesty I made between 600k-1.5m per month.

Just of recent, the zeal to Japa to Canada has been on my mind through school route. I currently have like 7m in my account and I know I could raise it till 15m before the end of the year. The cost of schooling keep giving me issue. How will someone travel abroad and spend over 15m when I could used the money to buy hostel from people who desperately needs money or invest in real estate.

Another concern of mine is that the future of legal profession is reducing because of the amount clients are paying particularly in the area of agreement and other things.

Definitely, I won't be selling the house if I decide to relocate, the rent from the two flats will go to my mom and the least could only be 500k per year. I won't have issues sending money at home.

Please, I really need advice from lawyers that are there, how do you cope migrating. Is it advisable I leave, if yes, what are the first things I might encounter, if am relocating it will be with my family. I just don't want to regret relocating. The exchange rate is just too much

It's not going to be easy or rosy. You need a lot of will-power to get back to the same position you currently are in Naija and progress from there.

Let's start with the major issues. Most of Canada is cold, brutally cold for some months of the year. You will need to deal with that with good jackets, boots and possibly, a car.

Secondly, to practice here, you need to complete the NCA requirements (usually 6 courses) and find an articling position. A few provinces like Ontario offer exemption from articling but articling has its advantages. Finding a paid articling position can be tough for foreign-trained lawyers but not impossible.

You may want to apply to law adjacent positions after studies and then complete the NCA requirements and articling.

There are Nigerian lawyers with successful law careers in Canada and you could be one too, with some détermination.
NB- Since you are coming as a student, I will advise you come with lots of money.

There is no underlying anything. That's the way blacks are wired.

That is the most convenient way to avoid life's responsibility.

Give him one million chances in life is will end up the same way.

Did you not read him saying that the RCCG people too got fed up?

He started a programme in Unilag in the 1980s, he abandoned it for a greener pasture (a security guard).

Many Africans or blacks do not live for any meaningful purpose in life.

They just live to 'enjoy' life without even knowing what enjoyment mean.

Oh, my friends are traveling abroad, let me leave my work and travel too.

Ahhhh, my friend's misfortune is not my portion...

Most blacks around the world hardly take a thought of anything before they commit their lives and resources into it.

Black people are not guided by sense and thorough analysis but impulse and emotions.

We never take a stock of what would happen if we took this or that decision. What can possibly go wrong?
What would I do if my permutations fall off the mark? How quickly can I make those adjustments? What resources do I have?
What is the exit strategy? What are the social networks to help me cushion the impact? How long could this adventure take?
What is even the essence of it?

It happens till this day.

Just imagine people not bothering about handing 4 years of their entire lives to useless politicians and making projections for another 4 years to be similarly wasted.

For blacks, time, purpose, legacy, responsibility and critical thinking are not high stakes.

A typical black person's life revolves around food, partying, human and object worship, debauchery, vain glory, wild hysteria and shifting responsibility to some gods.

The man was going to Japan for business (if true) but he couldn't care what might happen during business down time.

He was just satisfied with being the 'only successful' black man in the white dominated county.

Just one Italian or Indian would achieve the same feat and the whole place will be filled with Italians or Indians so that they have a social security system and buffer against hard time.

Not Africans. Not blacks. The black man doesn't understand such concept.

All the time he was sponsoring his nephew through school, his own child was going through hard times.

He doesn't even know where the other children are in America.

The bolded is very true.

OkukuOne:
They have the option to apply now or at a later time. What the IRCC representatives primarily seek is a consistency with your original intent, and if there are any changes, they'll want to know the reasons. If you can effectively communicate "a compelling love story", the application for your spouse and children will also likely be approved, provided they fulfill the other necessary criteria.

Good luck to them!

Thank you

Building on folla's recommendation, I suggest that you gather all necessary documents and apply after three months. This approach tends to be more beneficial than applying after just one or two months. In cases where my clients have sufficient funds, I typically advise them to apply at the same time.

Good luck!

I saw your comment and think it may be helpful for a friend. He used his family as tie. He was issued visa for Study starting in May 2024. He's thinking of applying sowp for spouse and sp for kids. Is this advisable or it's better he lands first. Course duration is one year

He doesn't understand that a customer who doesn't buy today may buy from you tomorrow (even in several millions). When I used to sell books, I would ask importers for prices. In most cases, I would not buy immediately until there was a large order. Once the large order came (mostly from schools and libraries), I went to the dealer who provided the most detailed price list and responded well to my enquiries.

This same thing happened at my sister's wedding. Luckily, we were in church when it started. My husband, cousins and uncles quickly left the church to make alternative venue arrangements. They found a vacant hall close to the venue that could sit 200 people. They quickly re-arranged the chairs (no party-style arrangements anymore). By the time we all got to the new venue, my husband and all those that saved the day were all drenched.

The guests didn't notice anything as the party went on smoothly. Thanks to family!

I've never been a fan of outdoor parties. Just book a hall if you can afford it.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Teaching Is The Worst Job In Nigeria by ayandee: 9:58pm On Nov 25, 2023
mctech:
My wife is a qualified teacher with NCE and B. Ed. and more than ten years of experience. She is excellent in early childhood education and every school she has taught never wants her to go. The proprietor of one called us for thirteen minutes when he heard she had resigned.
Her salary was N20,000.

One of her deepest regrets is that she chose the teaching profession. She said she would have achieved much if she had put all she invested in teaching on another career path.

People are leaving the miserable job in droves. If you ask any school owner, they will tell you that lack of teachers (either qualified or not) is one of their greatest challenges now.

The situation of the country in recent times has made it that almost no one wants to do the job.
A school owner was lamenting early this year that one of her staff quitted to pick a 7am to 7pm factory job.
I think your wife should consider starting a pre-school for 2 to 5 year olds since she has experience in early childhood education. If carefully planned, it could turn into a big business later on.

They are not ugly. They just don't have time for aesthetics. The average Nigerian judge has a huge caseload he is trying to work through. They do a lot of reading and writing so they are very busy people. The only time of the year they have for flexing is June-August when they are on vacation.
