Hello beautiful people!

Please do we have anyone going to or already at the UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH here?

Kindly contact me.

Thank you very much. Can you please share what the pre-CAS interview process with me? The questions and expectations.

Aprokodaughter:
September intakes did not submit bank statement but we did pre-cas interview. I can't say if January intakes will experience same process.

Good evening house.

Please does Sheffield Hallam University requests for 28 days bank statement before giving out CAS? I am anticipating admission this week or next but don't want to rush to liquidate some of my investments now.

Thank you.

@justwise, mimilyrics and other experienced people in the house.

Please I need clarification on the status of qualified accountants (ACCA) moving to the UK for studies. Is it that there are no jobs for accountants or British people are not just willing to employ foreigners because I do see loads of accounting vacancies on different jobs boards ad well as those posted to members portal by ACCA.
I am just wondering how it can be so difficult to get lucky with one of those opportunities that one is clearly qualified to take.

Thank you

Please help with the question below

Good evening house,

If a course is to start by January, when is it advisable to start the visa application and the earliest time one can enter the UK provided that the visa application was successful.

Shame on you. So, vice presidency is now relevant? I thought it was only for errand boys because someone from the south west currently occupies it?

Now back to your matter, even if APC ticket goes to the north, south east will still not be considered because it is a strong base for the PDP. Picking a VP there will be irrelevant for APC because they will still lose. Trust me, if APC gives the north the ticket, the VP slot will definitely goes to the south south.

This may be hard for you to swallow, Kalu does not have strong influence in APC. He doesn't even have the full structure of APC in Abia state let alone the south east before talking about the whole of Nigeria.

Those who are serious about this journey are making clever moves and forging strategic alliances but someone is snapping pictures everywhere to deceive the gullible.

In 2019, he started from senate president, deputy senate and finally ended up with chief whip out of consideration for the south east.

E go shock you like broda shaggi

searchlight:
You know nothing young lad. Kalu is telling you that apc ticket is going to the north and he is the next VP do you understand that? Is it clear to you? Or do I have to draw it to you?

It is really unfortunate that south east still don't understand politics. At a point, they will chest beat that they are the best thing to happen to the world at another time, they cry marginalization.

Even northerners that will be major beneficiary of this rubbish talk are very circumspect to make this bold statement because they are still gauging the mood of the south whether they will make serious move for the presidency or but here you have a man shuttling everywhere already playing to the gallery.

If primaries are conducted in APC 10 times, this man will not make top 5. In fact, Okorocha stand a better chance than.

Ordinarily, igbos are supposed to make serious bid for the presidency under PDP but it is obvious that no one is ready to mount the challenge from that region. PDP ticket will surely go to the north again.

The reality here is that APC ticket will either goes to the south west or north.

It is better that we read the thread properly and my opinions.

I never said that parents should not call their daughters or sons but the point is on the frequency of the calls and the the need to allow couples to chart their ways independently without family interference.

I made it clear that everyday calls usually lead to parents having direct knowledge of what's going on in the family and that may lead to directly or indirectly influencing the activities in their homes.

Personally as a father, once my daughter or son gets married, I want them to live their independent lives without having to monitor them with calls as if they are kids. I will always be there to guide them if my advice is needed and occasionally check on their well being.

This is my personal opinion and view to such situation.

Reading some comments here especially those from the women only made me to laugh. Some said jealousy, insecure, attention seeking and hiding something.

Comments here actually opened my eyes to the reality why there is no strong loyalty in most young marriages and thus leading to Marital problems. Women tend to trust and more loyal to their families than the new family they are to build together with their husbands.

I do not need to divulge everything that has happened in my family but pointing out the dangers of such experiences.

When I just got married, I thought they were normal and never paid attention to it but eventually, my in-laws knew and still know everything going on in my home as long as my wife has a knowledge of it.

To me, marriage fidelity starts from there and not until a woman ends up in bed with another man.

The discussions usually start casual but trust me, it will get to opening up everything in the home. It only requires a little misunderstanding between the couple to trigger such.

I wish everybody all the best especially those who made very mature and impartial comments.

Dear family,

I have created this topic to get wider opinions from the experienced and especially those who are married because sometimes when take decisions or react to situations they may not be objective but fueled by our personal biases.

What is your take on parents especially mothers calling spouses everyday in marriages? Mother-in-law calling her daughter everyday or mother-in-law calling her son everyday.

Personally, I don't like it or support my mother-in-law calling my wife everyday. Situations like this will make it inevitable for my in-laws to know everything going on in our lives. I believe when people are married, they should be left alone to live their lives.

Please what are your opinions about this topic?

During my NYSC, I met a very beautiful Igbo lady and we were flowing very well as friends. I was very happy and eventually asked her out but she declined and got me worried with so much disappointment till we passed out. We both moved to our different states Lagos and Anambra.

We are both married now but she revealed to me after many years that she didn't accept my proposal then because she knew there would be no future in the relationship. It would be practically impossible for her parents to accept me being a yoruba man and a Muslim.

Watching this movie on Netflix : Meet The In-laws got me laughing and reminisce on who would have been my wife today.

Truly, I still don't understand why there is always this unspoken tension between the yorubas and igbos almost in all fronts. The 2 tribes are not perfect yet we both have some outstanding qualities that if well utilized, we can achieve so much in our country.

My employer is an Igbo man but a pan Nigerian. He wants you on board as long as you can deliver irrespective of where you come from. We have a lot of yoruba professionals and other tribes in our company and it is the main reason we are so distinctive in every sectors that we are operating in.

Therefore, I think if the 2 tribes can blend very well via marriages. We will be having generations of intelligent, sophisticated, innovative, industrious and entrepreneurial kids that will greatly develop this country.

What is your opinion?

Here:

GIGL Ikorodu is now live at Sabo Road Garage, Ikorodu, Lagos.

Mr artiiclebeast, I can see that you love to write.

I live and work in Ghana with my resident permit. In fact, I am a representative of a Nigerian owned company in Ghana.

The level of hatred towards Nigerians in this country is unparalleled. Everybody is not lousy. You will never know that I hold an important position in the country except I tell you. In Ghana, as a Nigerian, you are first presumed to be a criminal until proven otherwise.

These wicked people are undermining the large positive contributions of Nigerians to their economy. Banking, trading, education, tourism etc. They are using a coordinated media to attack Nigeria and Nigerians as if nothing good comes from us. While I am not defending any criminal, there is no crime committed by some Nigerians that are not also committed by the Ghanaians. They like to project this sainthood but they also have very corrupt officials, police, immigration etc.

Personally, I am never going to invest my money on immovable assets in this country and I don't see a future in it as a Nigerian. I have refused to operate a local bank account since I got here and noticed this disdain. I have also asked my family to stay back in Nigeria.

Experience is the best teacher. My grandparents and my father as well as other Nigerians were chased out of their country in the 60s causing many people to abandoned their properties and livelihood before Nigeria retaliated in the 80s.

I can tell you that they would have done the same if it was military regime but what they are doing now is institutional obliteration. Nobody will tell you to live when you feel the pressure. Asking foreigners to bring in $1 million as equity to operate in their country. How many Ghanaians have such money? Ghanaians who are hustling in different countries in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Europe, Nigeria and other parts of the world, which of the countries asked their citizens to bring 1 million dollars?

Nigeria as a country needs to sit up and restore the pride of the country. Every family, community, tribes have critical role for cultural regeneration. Everybody in Nigeria are driven by the to make by all means.

Governance in Nigeria has collapsed and we must admit it. A situation whereby a citizen has to provide everything to live a comfortable life is the root cause of obsession to acquire wealth by all means. Electricity, road, light, security etc which one is working?

I am in a foreign country at this critical time where everywhere is locked down but CBN stopped withdrawal from ATM and online payments with our cards. What kind of wickedness is this.

The bitter truth is that Nigeria has lost it as a country and things will only get worse in the nearest future because nothing is being done now to put the country on the path of prosperity in the future. The country needs to seriously restructure or separate before we can make a way. The current constitution will continue to lead the country to doom.

Peace out.

It is unfortunate that most women are selfish in marriage. You are not alone on this. Most married men face similar issues. Women are not selfless like men in marriage. Most of their funds and other assets are usually kept away from their husbands. They usually carry their families and the children over the husband. I can tell you that her family members know about her assets and trust me, she can never use as the next of kin.

Most wives are only pretend to be humble and loyal when they realise that they have much to lose in the marriage if they go against the plan. Please note that i am not against all women because there some who are very selfless and can give all they have to grow the family. I prefer a woman to be financially empowered before marriage so that all parties will be able to reveal their true colours.

In conclusion, marriages in Africa do not favour men. The commitments of responsible men constantly put them on pressure but are least recognised when it comes to parenting sacrifices. You will hear most children singing the praises of their mothers as if the father was never important.

My simple life advice is that men should try to provide for the family within his abilities as most extra mile efforts are usually not worth it in the end. Nobody needs to tell you that the woman has already charted her future without your inputs. If all that you said here are true, your future is in your hand though can be very tough and painful especially where kids are involved.

Let's imagine if the woman is the husband sister, will the wife tolerate such nonsense?

OP, in reality and some times in life, we just have to do the right thing without giving a damn if someone is hurt or not. From the beginning, you shouldn't have accepted that from your wife because would have also opposed it vehemently if the woman was coming from you. Let your wife talk to her sister to move away from the house. Why would a 30 year old woman be so shameless to be sleeping in the same room with a couple?

Most sacrifices we make for people's comfort can never be reciprocated when the situation turnaround.

People are quick to shout slavery, men should be considerate and all that but failed to emphasize that financial responsibilities should be split between the two.

When it comes to financial responsibilities, a man should act like an African. He should shoulder everything. He should be the one to lead the family to prosperity. He should be nice to his in laws and all that.

Most times, women will keep their money to themselves and their families alone while the man's sweat is for everyone including the in laws.

The problem here is that most women of this generation are not ready to be under the guidance of any man. Ironically, they want to be married and still behave like singles that can do whatever they want

Dear Op,

I will be very blunt and impartial here. You need to look beyond many opinions here. If you go with most of the opinions, you will have serious problems with your marriage except you are also ready to leave and you are already showing the signs of being tired of the marriage.

While I can't vouch for the fidelity of your husband, I can bet it that your has seen something that aroused his suspicion about you. The truth is that you are not clean with your social media handles. You have things that may give you away. This may not mean that you cheating on him but I know that some randy men out there are insensitive to send dirty and flirtatious messages to women without regards to their Marital Status.

If you are clean, release the passwords to him and let him satisfy his curiosity whether he releases his own or not for the sake of your peace and sanity.

Please note that once you are married, you can't have your complete freedom and independent mind. Ordinarily, issues like this should have been resolved amicably without bringing it to the public forum. Most external advices to marriage usually complicate the issues.

From a personal experience, for reasons best known to her, my wife was always telling her family and friends everything that happened between us unknown to me because my thinking was that when argue about things, it dies within the family. Eventually, she ended up with a supposed man on the street as her best friend who understands how better to treat a woman, someone who is not in the same league with her husband morally and status wise. Rather than the supposed best friend to guide her right in the marriage, it further polarized the situation because the man also had his agenda.

The change in attitude and other suspicious events opened my eyes to pay attention to her. This is someone that I didn't even care if she was dating someone else right from the time we were single. I trusted her.

Eventually, all the dirty things in the name of advice came to the fore. It took the grace of God for the marriage to be alive.

In conclusion, they are a lot of people here who like to act correct with advices but react differently when faced with the same situation. Being submissive to your husband does not make you to be foolish as long as there is no violence in the union and he deliberately doesn't want you to be economically empowered.

Marriage is different from a dating game that you can just walk out cheaply. It takes a lot of compromises. I have never seen a perfect union anywhere until you stay closer to many couples.

Peace out

Giadom and Magnus Abe are from the same local government, Gokana, in Rivers State. They are both ogoni. Giadom was a former local government chairman.

It is sad that Amaechi is losing the sympathy of his loyalists starting from Wike and surprisingly, Magnus Abe. It is either something is wrong with Amaechi about his character and leadership skills or just being unfortunate with bad people around him.

In conclusion, his current actions at the national level speaks a lot about him. He is also not loyal to anyone.

For a long time now, I have been worried about what our society has become.

The rate at which married women cheat these days is quite alarming but they are very good in keeping secrets.

There is a particular hotel on my street just like a secluded estate, you will never be tired of seeing married men and women moving in and out everyday including this lock down period.

My worry is, what pushes married women into cheating even when some of them are obviously being well taken care of by their husbands?

Nobody will take marriage serious or completely trust your partner if you witness this daily occurrence.

In my opinion, I think Nigerian women in diaspora don't easily give in to Nigerian men home or abroad. My experience : a female friend of mine in Canada introduced a US based Nigerian lady to me. Coincidentally, we all graduated from the same university in Nigeria before they traveled abroad. Within a week, she started acting funny as if I will be desperate for her 'living abroad status' forgetting that I am also doing well in Nigeria. From the second week, I also stopped communicating with her till I got legally married to another woman here in Nigeria. Till this moment, she is single and wants a relationship. If I had married her, it would have been very hard to cope with such woman

For where, abeg no try am. That’s one industry you will never find a foreigner.

Thank you sir for your honest advice.

What alternatives can I consider when I get to Sweden with my background?

@maynation,

I still look forward to being your friend. My intention is pure and have nothing to hide other than to have an intelligent lady like you as a friend.

While I perfectly understand that friendship is a choice, there is also no harm in reaching out to those one thinks can complement us in a way. I have shown that I am not an hypocrite.

Thank you.

deltateam:
She's already taken. Besides it seems you are dumb.

This is a lady that is still recovering from pimps like you and you think your 'friendship' makes any difference?

Thank you sir.

maynation:
Lol.
Let even imagine I have none of this encounter with Jay.

You think you could just stop me and tell me you are Barrack Obama's PA and Donald Trump's right hand man and I will pay you attention?
Who approaches a lady with what they are?
You even wrote that you are the busy type. Funny.
You can do better love.

Thanks for the offer but I will just pass.

@maynation

I understand your expression and my intention was not to flaunt my achievement and that is why I concealed the name of my company and the actual country I reside.

I just wanted you to understand that my identity is real and we are talking about trust issue here. If you look through my profile here, you will see that I rarely make comments on nairaland but reads stories everyday.

Like I said earlier, any sane mind will like to have you as a friend. The truth is that most ladies don't have independent mind like you have displayed.

I will be very happy to hear from you.

tyolamide22atgmaildotcom

Thank you

@maynation,

I am publicly requesting to become your friend. If the chats I read are true without dilution, there is no point hiding behind a finger. A woman like you is so rare.

I need not to proof anything because you will naturally become wary of meeting new guys especially from a faceless forum like nairaland but I can assure you that my identity is real. I am the country manager of a popular company in Nigeria in one of the west African countries.

I am in a dire need of a girl like you. I believe that you will complement me. I need your maturity and intelligence. I hope that you will find my personality interesting. One bad thing about me is that I'm always very busy and constantly travels due to the nature of my job.

I am not shy to express my friendship publicly because what is good is worth chasing.

Here is my email : tyolamide22atgmaildotcom

I don't know why someone will wake up and all he could plan was to defraud others.

The money he borrowed earlier was to gain your trust.

Congrats. Were u exempted from paying tuition fee as a result of ACP or Nigeria being one of the least developed countries

Well, only the semester fee was stated in my Admission Letter. I didn't get any notification that the tuition has been waived. I think one has to write to seek exemption. You can as well help me with the process of getting the exemption. Thanks
