my sister just got admission from university of west of scotland for MBA. She has a TB screening with IOM but her kids' passports are expired. She has applied for renewal of passports and they have done capturing for over a month now. The passports are still not ready. What can she do?

what corrective action can be made on already standing faulty 21storey with inferior materials used?other than seal and controlled demolition...lives of the citizens dont mean anything to our government

i wonder what he meant by repair or corrective action after the building has reached 21 storey. We are not serious in this country

I think the regulatory bodies rarely go to site(unfounded by me)
They just stop by the head office and drink tea, collect their envelope and leave. Sometimes they send an intern

they dont even send interns. They have some casuals workers they pay out of pocket. Those are the people they send for enforcement patrol

He was called out to be killed. Trace the last caller. He is your number 1 suspect.

But our police will not think to that direction.

that's the obvious thing to do but the assailants could have gone with the phone knowing they could be traced

I contracted scabies not long ago; unfortunately for me, I resorted to one of this so called nurses, she placed me on a three days treatment

Throughout those periods of treatment, she was injecting me daily with drips also; whenever she inject me, it feels as if I was being plug to a direct electric, there will be this mild vibration in my entire body especially in my head

With all the vibrations, nothing changed, I later visit an hospital when the scabies is becoming embarrassing ( wetin my eyes see my mouth no fit explain ) I spent 10k Sara!

So many quack medical practitioners out there endangering the life's of unsuspecting ignorant citizens!

so sorry about this. For scabies, get sulphur cream from pharmacy. Rub it morning and night after bath. It will clear in one week

In this same hard économy, there are people rejecting job offers and changing jobs for higher paying ones. This is simply because they have skills that are in high demand. Those jobs are never advertised. It's the people in that field or line of jobs that recommend themselves. Sometimes employers pick-up their profiles from LinkedIn and just call them for interviews. This applies mostly to IT, cybersecurity and IT audit jobs.

If you can, find your way into that field. It's lucrative

eldoradoxx:
Usually when a polygamous man dies, his first wife and her children see it as opportunity to undo what he did while alive in marrying more than one wife. Soon after his passing, they would want to monopolize his body, divorce his second or other wife(wives) and declare the other sets of children as bastards who are neither entitled to participate in the burial of their own father nor share from his estate.
But the court is always their to listen to them.
If while alive, a man identified himself with more than one wife and had children from other women whether married to them or not, they are all part of the family and must participate in his burial and share of his estate. My friend that is a lawyer told me that the fact that a man had children outside wedlock does not make the children any lesser in all their father's affairs dead or alive.

jtrue. There are no bastards before the law as long as the deceased recognised a child as his in his lifetime, such a child has equal rights

How do I report a winners chapel pastor?

Do I confront her about again or just tell her people?


My family members don't know about it yet cos if I mention it to them, her respect is gone forever.

Edit : for those asking, we were friends for many years even before we got married. I didn't marry her cos of virginity. Who virginity help?

I married her cos she was my friend and we were compatible

You should confront her and tell her that rubbish must stop. As a matter of fact, she must delete the pastor's number. Call the Pastor also to leave your wife alone or you report him to his employers, if he is in an organised church like winners or redemed. Get his wife's number and tell her to caution her husband.
Report your wife to her parents if all these do not work. Do everything to save your home

Hello Nairaland people, I am in a serious dilemma, I am a legally married woman who is based in Nigeria and married to a Nigerian student in Canada, I have been unable to reach him for several months now, no communication whatsoever, his family members are not doing anything regarding the situation on ground, I am really worried on what could be the situation of things over there, he will be done with school in less than 4months. Please what could be wrong? He has promised to call for me soon, so I am surprised I cant reach him for this long. I really want to see my husband. This situation at hand as made me depressed and I have been unable to function. What do I do? Please help!

his family members know where he is. He calls them. That's why they are not bothered

Dead lie story. No money and them pluck your eye after them chase your roommate. My unborn kid will never forgive me for believing this story.

it's a true story. I read it back then in 1995 as a young teenager. It was shocking to everyone. Even télévision journalists covered the story.

chidonweb:

I totally agree. It's not easy to be a house wife

it's one of the most underrated jobs

It's just a pitiable situation 4 d woman, I wish such atrocity could be undo, but unfortunately, it would tk luck and bank cooperation 2 help her case.

As per ur No. 1 question, may God help us all, especially in this country as we are all vulnerable consciously or unconsciously, as long as we av our info or deals with internet or belong 2 any social media network, our info isn't safe. D only set of people dat r safe 2 sm level of extent r dose dat r completely offline nd has notin 2 do with online transactions or banking, dose set occupy d minority nd r mostly dose 4rm old generation.

We just need 2 be fraud conscious nd not be greedy. We need 2 tk it up as duty 2 shield ourselves.

Even the old people are being scammed and are the most vulnérable. They get their phone numbers through the pension database when they go for data capturing. Who releases this info to them, no one knows.

Private Schools have developed an advanced technique to fleece their customers.

1- Stationery fee; my child's school charged as high as 30K. On top Nursery 1 pikin o! Fear catch me. Abeg shey I no fit buy pencil & pen for my pikin ni?

2- Uniform fee nko? You go fear when you hear how much dem dey charge.

3- ICT charges for a Nursery child? Most private school owners won't make Heaven.

If you dare complain, they will tell you bla bla bla as if the money dey easy to make. However, I believe the bulk of the blame still lies with the government. If they had made public schools standard enough, we for get choice. But as it stands, na die we dey o.

I spoke with a friend who is a school proprietor some time ago. She told me Lagos has introduced 6% tax on every school fee collected par child. So what they do is to hide a part of the fee under books and stationeries, that explains why they charge as high as 30k/50k for books.

If I have d kinda money they have, my baby hair no fit rough like this though

it's not easy to get kids to make their hair. My 8 year old still requires a lot of pampering and promises before she gets her hair done. I agrée some girls do not mind being taken to the hairdressers every weekend, for others it's a lot of hassle.

Saao:
So sad but my concern most, why doing uber around 10.20pm in a country with so much insecurity problems?

10.20pm is already too late. The fiancée should have prevailed on him to reject the ride. I wouldnt let a loved one step out at 10.20pm unless it's an emergency.

Gerrard59:


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

Gerrard59:


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.

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

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!

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

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.

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
