Mercychen: You're so right, you know, when we close from washing dead bodies, we resume at cleaning gutters in the afternoon and then deliver pizza by night, while using the other hand to drive taxis ... after all, there's dignity in labour here unlike in Nigeria. 11 Likes 1 Share |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: See The Response An Applicant Got From A Company by 8BitGee(m): 11:48am On Dec 29, 2021 |
A lot of silly inexperienced people on this thread. No matter what happens, you don't go off on an interviewer! It says a lot about you as a person and as an issue manager/problem solver. Is this the way he'll address the company's clients when they slip up?! So unprofessional. Further, it's a small world, you will meet those people in future. Lol |

SirMichael1: No, I wouldn't raise my hands against a man, talk more of a lady I was passionately in love with. I tested her - I did a mock breakup over the phone just to see how she'd react. She took it quite well so I was heartbroken and I was quite taken by her reaction that I stupidly confessed it was a test. Biggest mistake ever! At other times between 2017-2019, we had conflicts about her lifestyle - really late nights, she did a couple of disappearing acts for days - extreme living, really. Of course, I'd be mad and reprimand her whenever she returned. I I felt she wasn't real and was trying to live a fake life because we were in Europe. We are family friends so I couldn't reconcile her behaviour with our upbringing. 7 Likes |
Romance / Re: Have You Been Engaged, And Later Didn't Get Married? What Actually Went Wrong? by 8BitGee(m): 3:28pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
Yes, we started dating in 2016, did our introduction in 2018, and we were due to get married in 2019 after waiting so long, but the event had to be moved forward due to the pandemic. We were a power couple and people liked us together. Expensive gifts and surprises, flowers, romantic getaways to remote islands, it was a jolly ride. Late in 2018, she started behaving funny which of course I objected to, perhaps too strongly. I guess she had cold feet because she said she wouldn't have considered marriage at all if not for me. Anyway, she started bringing up the issues we had in the beginning and had supposedly resolved. We hired a Nigerian-Canadian counselor who tried to help but my ex fought with the counselor in the end because she said "the counselor took my side". I started exploring other options after this. And oh, we would have been married before 2019 if not that their side kept giving excuses to not hold the event. I guess she was ultimately not ready. I was the one that was ready to be married. Needless to say, I was devastated. I can't say I was blameless in all. We didn't have infidelity issues, it was just behavioural differences. I loved her so much, I was willing to adjust, come to the middle and also get my concerns listened to. I learnt a lot from the relationship and I'm happy that I'm a better man today. 66 Likes 3 Shares |

Travel / Irish Join Family Visa Enquiries Part 0 by 8BitGee(m): 2:41pm On Dec 18, 2021 |
Hi everyone, I have created this thread separate from the general Irish visa thread so people who have gone through the Join-Family visa process can share their experiences to help current and future applicants. Kindly share your personal experiences and comments on: 1. Your Join-family visa application experience. 2. The documents you submitted . 3. The peculiarities of your application (Critical Skill permit holders, Irish citizens, regular work permit holders, PhD students, etc). 4. The visa response timelines. 5. Travelling experience (Your journey to meet and receive your loved ones). 6. Life in Ireland in general - getting to know and settling in the beautiful country Ireland. 7. Etc etc. I have attached the Department of Justice guidance page on Family reunification for all categories. https://www.irishimmigration.ie/coming-to-join-family-in-ireland/joining-an-irish-national/join-family-visa/ The guide contains the most exhaustive requirements for the application and it is regularly updated. You'll find the online Irish visa application form AVATS on the page too. Visa applications are submitted to the embassy through VFS. The step-by-step guide to submitting your application can be found here https://visa.vfsglobal.com/nga/en/irl/apply-visa |

Travel / Re: Experience Of A Canada Bound Nigerian: The Shame Of A Nation. by 8BitGee(m): 8:38am On Dec 10, 2021 |
It is indeed embarrassing and it is one of the reasons why we keep getting put on the red countries list or subjected to outrageously expensive hotel quarantine schemes. We often claim xenophobia when these things happen, however, honest observers know the extent of the corruption ingrained in the psyche of the average Nigerian. Marriage scams, forgery, get rich quick schemes, we have seen it all, it's despicable. And please don't try to push the narrative that these ethical flaws only exists in Nigerians in Nigeria, my Nigerian passport expires next year and I have been saddened by the thoughts of having to interact with that embassy in Dublin because you know what. 1 Like |

I know a few other people and myself that are in the same Irish Join family application shoes. What makes the whole psychological torture even more unbearable is the fact that they hold on to your passport the whole time. Imagine holding on to someone's passport for 6-12 months? Surely that's equivalent to asking the person to put their lives on hold! They cannot be with their loved ones, they cannot travel for work or go on holiday, they are just floating in limbo. |
