The CBN will place restrictions on withdrawal or do an outright conversion of the monies in the account. Placing restrictions on withdrawals happened in Lebanon while outright conversion happened in Argentina. One thing is sure: before the 2023 elections, the CBN will either any or both.

hmmm. Thanks. One needs to leave this country asap

Use the money to prepare for the GRE, TOEFL, application fees, LORs etc. Seven million can't afford a MSc program in Canada neither can it get your visa approved. Apply to universities in the US with a profile as thus: 2'1 Civil Engineering, GRE of 320, stellar LORs, SOP and TOEFL score of 110. With these and many more, you will get a funded MSc or PhD program in a US university. I would have recommended South Korean universities but N7M is slightly above $10K meanwhile Korean universities state prospective applicants should have the minimum of $15K as living expenses o -(excluding tuition fees).

Go the US route. You'd spend maximum of N1M in preparation (even if you need to pay graduate studies consultants).


P.S: Whenever you decide to sell the property, please factor in the impending naira devaluation when Emefiele converts people's money in their domiciliary accounts and fuel gets to N400 per litre. By then, you might have to sell the property for not less than N10M.

See why you should forgo whatever business and flee Nigeria?

Very brillant piece of advice. Please what do you mean by "when Emefiele converts people's money in domiciliary account"

There are remonte jobs if you have the required skills. I know accountants who work remotely with small companies, NGOs and earn a decent pay. Same goes for data analyst and language teachers.

so true.

Hello good people of Nairaland, i need a travel agent that can get me a genuine, authentic job offers in Canada .

You will be scammed.

I have one question regarding this movie, where did Odudubariba emanate from? I can’t remember seeing him in Part 1.

He wasnt in part 1. But the table is a big one. We cant know all the members of the table

acmilan1:
Does this mean that I can't get a provincial nomination?

No it doesnt mean that a province can not invite you. Ignore

As I celebrate my 20 month post AOR party tomorrow, please join me in raising your voices to heaven that my PPR and COPR (and the PPR and COPR of my brothers and sisters in waiting) will land in this 2021....

I feel your pain. It's well. You are not alone. We will keep praying

Oviebright:
I'm 24 years of age finished nysc and graduated a couple of years ago. Job searching but nothing tangible out of it.

I'm opportuned as my family members are ready to sponsor me to study abroad but we're not rich just a average Nigeria family who can raise funds to do it. But the thing is that I'm having double minds as to whether to lobby and pay for a federal government job or start making plans to leave naija but the problem is that the money is there but no connect there.

What do you think I should decide ON?

Whether to stay in naija and lobby for a federal job or Start making plans to go abroad? But the thing is that we can gather the money to buy a slot if possible but no connect.

Please moderators give your opinions.

You better arrange for studies now that you are still young. Consider Canada for studies so you can stay back and get Permanent résidence. Canada gives post study work permit.

By the way, i have a federal job and i am seriously planning relocation. You better japa

sweetoma:
I’m almost running mad. The way I immersed myself in French for over 9months, neglecting all other aspects of my life Including work. Just to come now and be waiting aimlessly. The annoying part is if you venture on twitter and see the way IRCC is ignoring all enquiries related to FSW, it’s just inhumaine. At the end of the day, it’s not the wait that is bad, it’s the fear that the stream may be discontinued. If we at least had a timeline to look forward to, it would be easier

Ne vous inquiétez pas. Your learning french is a good thing, even beyond Canada immigration. It's an asset you gained on this journey. Keep nourishing it. Fsw draws will surely come and you will get your ITA. For those of us awaiting PPR, we shall have cause to smile soon. Bon courage!

I guess the alleged perpetrator got inspired by the recent crypto heist, na him baba flex hin muscle on top one bank CBA see say loophole dey inside, na hin guy reason say Flex-Cube no too solid like that guy man run am base on one two.
If you look closely, bank niggas and niggress dey inside the matter buh me no know how BDC hustlers con take enter the picture.

The money gets transferred to BDC. BDC then gives them dollars in exchange. So BDC helps to clean up the trail

Kayberg:
Because they forget that Over confidence is a disaster.
And at times, we as mortals need to have a little fear.

you made a good point. We as mortals need to have a little fear. I fear people with no iota of fear.

what's wrong with all these children sef? Only if they knew all these school results don't count for much in the world out there. Whether you make a first class or third class, you still have to strife to succeed in the real world. What counts is what you are able to make of yourself outside of school.

FreeStuffsNG:
Eeya... She spoilt a very good opportunity. If she had kept her integrity, the top, not the prison, would have been her place. I hardly read about women bank managers in the North, she's no doubt one of such few at the pinnacle of that career. She lost more than the N4.7m

you are right. She lost more than N4.7m. Being a woman and from the north, she stood a great chance of being appointed to a bigger rôle later on. She messed up

Even her make-up was done by a man

olaboy33:
It's clear Abba kyari is not a Saint after all.

But what is unclear to me is why hush chose to implicate kyari and why the FBI are keenly after him.

Kyari didn't partake in defrauding the US or any of her citizen.
If at all, he should be probed by the Nigerian Police force for receiving bribe and and wrongly arresting someone or wrongly releasing a criminal.

I feel hasn't done enough for the FBI to be after him.

Abba Kyari's name popped up while they were tracing the funds. When fraud crimes occur, FBI is interested in where the funds are funnelled or channeled This is important for recovery of stolen funds. It was in the course of doing this that Abba Kyari's name came up. Since he knowingly received part of the proceeds, he has to return it and also serve jail term. It's much more than bribery, as a matter of fact, it's not bribery but a case of conspiracy to defraud.

Brown2012:
Ordinary 8million naira want to ruin this man's life

this was what surprised me. One would think N8 million would be too small an amount for Abba Kyari and his boys especially for a crime involving over USD500k

design113:

Wow. So na so dem dey take arrest person. Oboy. Wetin poor man want come do

na so. That was what they were using the SARS for, simply to settle scores among fraudsters and other shady elements. That was what sparked the endsars protest in the first place.

YungMillionaire:
The policeman doing the interrogation should quit his job. He is better fit as a public market tout. Imagine the way he is talking like a lunatic. Even the little girl is far more composed than he is. Shame. Scaring the girl would only led to her telling him what he wants to hear rather than the truth. Imagine a whole detective who lacks the basics of child psychology.

thanks for this observation. I thought i was the only one who noticed the unprofessional interrogation. Nigerian police should be watching Hollywood movies small small to see how things are done

FubeeWubee:
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate.
Do you suggest I give myself 2-3years in Nigeria, get work experience, get my Masters and maybe PhD (All online as I want Foreign degrees) and then start the Canadian PR process? I will be 34 in 3years so would still within the age score. Is that a good plan?
Canada is supposed to be a fresh start for me, quite bombed it won’t be sooner.

you can do that but also note that immigration policies change. No one knows what will happen in 3 or 4 years from now.
Like i said earlier, the study route is a sure path to PR at least for now. But if funds are a contraint, look into other countries' immigration options. Have a plan B and even C.

FubeeWubee:
Thank you for your response.
I have weighed the option of Studying in Canada but the cost is high. I am looking at the option of starting an Online MBA with the London Metropolitan School of Business and Management because I read that WES approves it.
Also I see that 4500 persons who applied for the EE- CEC were given ITA with CRA score of 357 but my CRS calculation is above that. What do you suggest in this case? Do I just apply with what I’ve got and hope for the best?

The CEC is different. The CEC stream is for those who have studied and worked in Canada. They are being prioritised now, hence the low CRS. The last draw for outlanders was 468 and that was in December 2020. Before that time scores were in the range of 470-478

FubeeWubee:
HELLO House.
I’m new here.
So I just turned 31, Very single, no direct relatives in Canada, One B.Sc , 6years self employed/ Business experience in the NOC 0 skilled workers. Do I qualify for EE or PNP? I want to leave Nigeria for Canada and from by CRS calculation, I am below 400 points. I plan on writing my IELTS in October and November. I have started the WES process with my school. I plan to get all my documents ready before I create an EE profile. With my scores below 400, SINP is looking like my best bet into Canada but I’m conflicted as I would prefer Alberta.
Can I do the Saskatchewan INP? I hear Regina is a lonely area but Can I manage to live there, get my Citizenship and move to another city? Or if I go the SINP route, will I be stuck in Regina or SK province for the rest of my Canadian life?

My advice: Don't count your eggs before they are hatched. With no direct relatives in Saskatchewan, no masters degree, less than 10 years experience, SINP chances are quite low are at the moment. If your skill is in demand in Alberta, you just might get lucky and be selected.
Another option you should explore is the study route. It's about the surest way to Canada PR now, if you are able to get a study visa.

Lagbaja88:
plumber is under skilled trades, you need job offer from Canada or licencing from Canada to qualify. You are better off using your nursing experience as it could easily get province nomination too.

Use your nursing degree and experience to process express entry as you can easily get provincial nomination with nursing.

Also look into UK work permit programmé for nurses. You will have to write Ielts academics and their nursing exams. There's a thread for UK aspiring nurses in the travel section. The process is much faster

Samorahno100:
Regards to everyone,
Please, I need someone to assist me with some information...:

1. I’m a Gradute of computer science, working as Nigeria Police Officer, I am intending to create CANADA EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE
Please which noc is best for me to choose...

2. Can I also create profile (expression of interest) with a province at the same time with express entry profile? If yes, which province is best for such my job experience?

I will be most glad to receiving your responses

Best regards

What are your job functions in the NPF? If you work in the IT unit for instance, you can choose a noc related to IT and that could help with PNP.

Of course, as a police officer your file may be subjected to enhanced security screening after application submission but in the end, you will still be given PR, if you are not a security threat.

You should give it a try if you have job functions that are spécialised and are not core police functions

Enskynelson:
Dear nairalanders,
I am a graduate of Microbiology and currently serving but I want to be a Nurse as I am more passionate about that and it also has more prospect than Microbiology both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria. Please, suggest and advise me on what I can do right now. I don't mind going to School of Nursing but will prefer any school that can offer me Direct Entry into Nursing with my Degree Certificate. But if that is not possible, I am opened to writing JAMB again and going for Nursing.
Thanks

You are thinking in the right direction. My friend enrolled in school of nursing after 2.1 degree in microbiology. After completing her studies, she did one year internship in a teaching hospital. After, she wrote ielts academics and UK nursing exams all from here in Nigeria. She is in the UK now with her family. A word is enough for the wise. Take action now.

Hassanmaye:
Do you mean you wasted time in driving school

i wasted time there. I lacked boldness during the driving sessions at the driving school. My neighbour allowed me make my mistakes. I hit an abandoned vehicle. I was scared at first but my neighbour said that incident was necessary. From that moment, I learnt to distinguish between the brake and the accelerator.

I enrolled in a driving school for one month. The instructor did not let me move beyond gear 1. He was just full of grammar and theory. I bought my car and my neighbour offered to teach me. In 2 weeks i was on the highway. God bless my neighbour

Shokoloko:
Something is fundamentally wrong in this story.
If neighborhood is infested with gangs, move
If public school is infested with gangs (I have never heard this) change school.
I find it hard to believe that between the man and wife they could not find call center jobs or sales associate jobs that would have taken care of rent and bills. The 600 paid to their child would have sorted out feeding

Lets assume a very terrible situation. Oga is working in poorly-paying stingy call center or as a sales associate earning $2000 after tax
Madam is working in the bakery part-time at Loblaws earning $16 per hour. Lets say she works for 4 hours so she can stay with the children. in a month she will earn $1700 after tax. Combined income in $3700. Plus monthly payment to child $4300

Rent for 2 bedroom $1600
Phone bills for two $70
internet $50
Food $600
Electricity $100
Landlord pays water, garbage and gas bills
Monthly bus pass for two $250
New clothes $100
Netflix $14.99

SAVINGS MONTHLY $1515.01

This is in the worst situation. The only thing I can think of that could have happened here is the man rented a luxury apartment. I know because I also made this mistake - I rented in Rockcliffe village when I first arrived

thanks very much for this analysis for Canada. This thread almost scared the shit out of me. Now i can breathe.

He should have gone for vocational studies e.g shoe repairs etc
