The birth process is the only experience that humbles men. Most men panic even the ones forming "boss"

This is the real "owo jona" on yoruba

Maybe they want to go on natural selection route.

We are preventing the vulnerable chick from straying to its untimely death, yet it insists that it must forage for food on the garbage dump'
A ngba oromodie lowo iku, o ni won je ki ohun lo si atan lo je - Yoruba Proverb

your intrepretation of the proverb is dope. Welldone!

BGSM:
I feel for her because of what she ll be going through henceforth. The street is highly not funny at all. We should be very careful of what we post whenever we are happy and whenever we are angry. This is a privilege opportunity that is about to be wasted, O My God. Opportunity that is difficult to come by due to lack of connection and money, despite our qualifications and moral maturity. This is part of the hazard of social media.

they got the job on a platter of gold. Anyone who has gone through job hunting rigours would not do such.

Acidosis:
Wrong headline. There is a difference between Mainland and Mainland LGA.

Most affected local government area is Lagos Mainland LGA. That's places like Ebute Meta. If you're in this axis, better lock yourself indoor 24/7.

Mainland (LGA) as reported here is Ebute Meta

you are correct. It includes Yaba also

I saw a bus loading passengers going to Sokoto yesterday evening in my area. I was surprised people were still travellings.

Tomilola360:
If you own a business, would you pay workers for work that is not done?



We have to be rational in our thinking.

it dépends. If the company has made lots of profits in the past and paying this month's salary wouldnt hurt the business, the company should pay.

Fuckkthemod:
Poverty or is it greed?

it's pure greed

I dont think so. Thèse days it's learnt. My 6 yr old daughter in pry 1 has such a beautiful and mature writing simply because she's taught corsive writing in school. I never had such opportunity. My writing isnt so good. I just try to make it legible

Ologogoro:
Babangida and wife Maryam Babangida had a daughter In the year 1988, while serving as president and command in chief of the Nigerian Amforced and also, this Mustapha you're talking about was born in defense house ikoyi, Abacha was already president but the wife and rest of the family hasn't moved to aso rock as at the time of Mustapha birth.

very true. The op needs to learn more of history. I was expecting someone to correct this and you did. Kudos

God bless u!
Dude is too gullible & pliable!
How on earth will any reasonable man accept such a woman back into his life?

He loved her unconditionally but the truth is she never loved him. When a woman truly loves a man, she wouldnt put him under pressure for money just after losing his job. She would rather seek for ways to support him.
She had big hopes of marrying a successful footballer hence her support during those times. The attraction waned when it didnt work out as planned.

Inspiring and sad story. RIP to Shola.

Good. That was how my cousin (of blessed memory)rejected a block maker's advances years ago. The guy rose to become a top manager at one of the major insurance companies. He owns the most beautiful house in my area today.

Things i noticed about him back then
1. He used to buy newspapers everyday. Whenever he was not laying bricks, he was reading newspapers. People used to borrow papers from him.
2. I latér learnt he was doing some part time courses

Funny enough, he never left the area. The block industry where he worked is still there. He bought land on that same Street and built.

Lagos and Ogun both asked for extension until Friday before the lockdown takes effect. The requests by the states both granted by The federal government.

i think only ogun sought extension

Brighter Grammar!!! The proprietor of the Primary school i attended was a great lover of brighter grammar. It was impossible to graduate from the school without having complèted books1,2,3 and 4. Some adults used to join us for the evening grammar lessons. Nice memories.

Ogun governor is even closing international borders ?
Lol ... this Buhari is a shithole, I swear.

When we tell zombies that Abba Kyari is the de facto president of Nigeria and that Buhari is just a piece of Mannequin decorating
the Villa, they argue.

Since Kyari was quarantined for Covid 19, nothing seems to be happening in the villa again. No one is giving orders.
Buhari is senile, lifeless and only used in the Villa for photoshoot.

Every governor is now a president and commander-in-Chief of his state.

.

you have said everything accurately. Governor giving directives on international borders

Threemg:
Wow! Part 9 already. Congratulations ednut. What you said is not completely true, I am glad your GCMS came and revealed that RR was marked on your POF which based on what happened to our application as well I can conclude that it played a "major" role is delaying your PPR. Yes some folks are lucky with PFA but a larger folk are not and reason why it's flagged. As a smart guy which made you order your GCMS, imagine what would have happened if your haven't? Our PPR was delayed too due to flagged PFA as part of POF. So since then I have encouraged guys do all you can not to include PFA in your summed POF because some VO no get joy. Let PFA not "delay" to supposedly arrival of PPR.
Once again Congratulations brother, Once this whole COVID-19 bullshit goes down we'll be glad to welcome you.

ok.

Congrats ednut1. May canny favour you.

chigrad:
Please during speaking (EO) can one be looking at his/her paper where points have been noted and speak from it or you have to speak looking/focusing on the examiner.

I wasn't allowed to even take notes. I had only the question paper

Donpaper:
mama please, I need some EO and EE tips from urgently.

PM me

1blessing:
Please what was your total points when you got ITA and the cut off then?
What were other requirements that boosted your points too?

Please help with these info so as to boost our faiths.

my total point when I got ITA was 470. ITA cutoff was 469. I have ielts LRWS 8.5,9,7.5,8. I have a masters degree. Spouse ielts LRWS 6.5, 7,7,6. Spouse had no ECA.

If spouse had ECA, my crs would have been 479. But thank God, we got ITA even without his ECA

Revman:
You have seriously boosted my morale. I am at beginner level french right now and I plan giving it my all. I pray that I come back here to testify that I passed TEF. Thank you veryuch for sharing your story.

give it your all. Be consistent, seek guidance from the wonderful people in the TEF thread and you will surely testify.

link2ok:
There are lots of people here taking the route of learning a new language, do not discourage anyone. Paying 5k per hour and downloading all the French app on playstore wouldn't automatically make you start speaking French, you have to work hard. It's like paying for Chris Pell and I don't take action and I expect to pass my IELTS just because I paid.

To those learning French to boost their CRS score, keep the fire burning, it is achievable.

learning french to boost your score score is very achievable. I did that from ground level 0 last year and got 45 points from TEF. I got ITA at age 38. I've seen others do that as well. Visit the TEF Nairaland thread and read from page 1. That was how I got inspired to start the journey and it paid off.

But it requires a high level of dedication, self-discipline and tremendous hardwork and optimism. The year is still quite fresh. I took my decision about this time last year.

Mamaroon:
I love your Usain Bolt and pot-belly analogy!!!

True, people need to count the cost before putting their hands to the TEF plough (it is a guzzler of time and money and mega bytes of data)..but you'll be surprised what people who have no flare for languages can achieve when they put their minds to it.

In reality, the race may involve writing TEF multiple times. If folks can write IELTS 4, 5, 6 times to increase CRS, get ITA and check out of Nigeria...why not TEF....It all depends on how much you want the COPR and what your driving force is. #MyOpinion

Just a little correction though, CLB7 in IELTS is equivalent to LRWS 6666....hopefully someone will see that TEF CLB 7 may not be impossible after all...and to provide the English context most of us are operating at IELTS CLB9 or 10!

Peace bro, no quarrel!

our very own mamaroon!!! Ca fait longtemps! I agree with you totally. Those taking the French route are those who really have their minds set on Canada and are willing to give anything to achieve that dream. They are already self-motivated knowing there's no alternative (no pnp, no sibling points in most cases) and take each obstacle as a challenge. Their level of optimism is unparalleled. They are not wishful thinkers. They are hardworking, dedicated people.

Like mamaroon has said, if you fit into the description above, join the TEF Nairaland thread and learn french to boost your score. For me, it's the only pragmatic way especially if you've maxed ielts and your crs is still low due to age.

Hmmm so many sick people out there

so many sick people. God help parents

Nedu2144:
MOD or BC?

MOD

Kennylad90:
Is it possible for one to prepare for ielts within two weeks

yes. I prepared for just 2weeks and maxed out. In fact, I paid just 3days before exam so I did LRW before speaking.

laivwire:
Pls send him home. You can't handle him on your own.

Before long your household gadgets will start to disappear and it's when the police come knocking on your door for neighbourhood atrocities you didn't commit that your eyes will clear.

Tell him you know of his bad habits and you can't handle. Tell him your assistance ends here and he has to go get himself together.

My cousin was an addict. He always moves with a small black bag. He lost his job and got chased out of the house. He kept on with his gay partners to fund his habits and I wonder where he is now.

I repeat, hand him over to those who can handle him.

hmm. Sad story. May God help parents oo

I remember my secondary days. I had malaria and mum took me to the hospital. By the time, we returned home, I was very weak from the injections I had received and could hardly stand. Mum needed to get some items at the market nearby and didn't want to leave me at home all by myself.

Our neighbour in the next compound offered I stayed in her home till my mum returned. She's actually a nice woman. She led me to her children's bedroom. All seemed normal and I was beginning to doze off. Suddenly, I looked up and saw a big wall frame on which it was written "Reformed Ogboni Comfraternity" with a picture of her husband fully dressed in what I perceived was the regalia. I jumped up immediately. My fever vanished. I told the woman I wanted to go home.

She was surprised. I told her I felt better. Luckily, I met my mum at the gate. We had barely entered our home when i started telling her what I saw. She was also surprised.
