End time pastor. People have turned marriage/wedding to something else no wonder it doesn't last nowadays.

true. Exchange of vows should be solemn and serious. That's why I like orthodox churches for their conduct of wedding ceremony

That buga song is addictive. Even when you don't want to sing it, it keeps ringing in your ears.

staga:
At 85 years, he should not be doing such procedures as it requires a steady hand. For him to have practiced in the UK for 41 years and been a doctor for 57 years shows he has some level of competence. But old age is something that beats anyone.

Even Muhammad Ali said after his last fight that "Father Time" had caught up with him.

that's the real issue. 85 is too old for any kind of work, in my opinion. At 85, one should be in full retirement

A friend of mine needs passport urgently. Where can he get it done within a week?

Carefully selected posh areas to rig minds into believing lagos has serene ecology abi.

Please show us pictures of Ikotun, agege, Orile,
Ikorodu . . . in the 60’s too.

In the 60s, Ikotun, Agege, Orile, Ipaja, Ayobo, Abule-Egba etc were mainly farmlands with greater serene ecology than the posh areas posted by the op. Rural-urban migration turned those areas to residential areas

okomile:
They could have done it legally.
They can get away with anything here in Nigeria but not abroad.

Miscalculation on their part.

Wish the daughter quick recovery. Kidney ailment is not a joke.

I wonder why they chose to do it that way. With the kind of money they have, they can get a willing adult donor from anywhere in the world.

seunny4lif:
Apply for jobs from here and if lucky the company will process the Visa for you.
Apply to many companies as many as possible

You need to learn the language because you will need it for base to base activities like shopping etc
At least learn how to say few words like when to Jakpa

I think he should commit to learning the language to at least intermediate level. That will help him a lot

I agree with you. What is rest of mind? Rest of mind is when I can drive from Lagos to Bornu state, with several stop overs to see major tourists' attractions, without fear of being intimidated by the police, kidnapped by unknown gunmen or bandits, robbed or killed.

Mcslize:
Which rest of mind are you posting about? Pls edit and delete that statement from that post.

Where are you getting the rest of mind from? In this war torn zone called country?

Even if you are rich, there is no rest of mind in Nigeria for any one. Seems like you are not in this country and ain't aware of all the horrific happenings.

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello All,

A friend studied Biochemistry in one of Nigeria's Federal Universities, she has completed NYSC but she does not have a job yet.

Her brother who currently resides in the UK wants her to enrol in a school of Nursing in Nigeria and she is not happy with what her brother wants.

I asked her if her brother's reason is because Nursing is profitable in the UK and she said YES, that's his reason. The goal is that she'd eventually relocate to the the UK.

My concerns are:

1. Why study a course like Biochemistry and go back to a school of Nursing? Aren't there better alternatives?
2. Most of the people I know that attended school of Nursing always go back to the Univeristy for BSc. Nursing.
3. School of Nursing in Nigeria will take her about 3 years and I am sure she will still need to write some exams before she will be able to work as a Registered Nurse in the UK.

Are there possibilities of moving to the UK to study that version of Nigerian School of Nursing? If yes, how expensive is it?

On the other hand, if she's able to go to the UK for her masters, masters in what course can she apply for (please bear in my that she is a Biochemistry graduate) that would give her chances of securing a good job in the UK ( At least, a kind of job that would still make her earn something close to what Nurses earn)?

Please advise. Thank you

Her brother wants the best for her. A friend went to school of nursing after Bsc in Microbiology. She's now working in the UK as a nurse. Let her go to school of nursing. Studying Nursing in the UK is going to be more expensive

I put to bed via CS on 26th february. Recovery was smooth. My mum and mother-in-law really helped. CRS simulation was 430 even with a master's degree as i was 37 at the time. I started searching for ways to improve my score and stumbled on another nairaland thread on TEF/TCF. On 1st April, I started french classes. After 7 months of intensive lessons and exam préparation, I sat for TEF on 26th October. Results were releases 14th November. My TEF story was shared here. I had the following:
TEF: Compréhension orale C1, Compréhension écrite C1, Expression orale B2, Expression écrite C1. It was one of my happiest moments.

I had evaluated my masters and with that, i had been in the pool since August. After 2 consecutive draws between November and December, i finally got ITA on 19th December and that was the last draw of the year 2019. My crs was 470 and draw was 469.

POF for family of 5 was challenging as we had committed our funds to real estate since we had no travel plans. Thank God for family and friends. They came through for us. I submitted application on 6th february 2020. Then covid happened and everything came to a stop. I called IRCC, i emailed, i cried, I prayed, i fasted. No response. I got tired of webforms and gcms notes..

PPR came like a thief in the night on 7th february 2022 exactly 2 years after. I practically screamed. I was overjoyed.

We sent passports to Cairo on 9th february 2022. Passports were returned with COPR on 3rd March. We started packing our bags. We did a lot of shopping as we had 10 luggage spaces and i wanted to use up the luggage allowance. We booked Ethiopian airlines for 11th April. Family and friends were with us at departure. There were tears of joy.

Food and in-flight entertainment was ok, not superb. It was a long flight. We stopped over at Addis Ababa and Dublin. We finally arrived Toronto 2pm of 12th April. The immigration queue was terribly long. Inspite of a 4hour layover time in Toronto, we missed our flight to Winnipeg but were lucky to get another flight. (Please if your final destination is not Toronto, ensure you book a flight with a longer layover in Toronto. A 4 hour lay over may not be enough).

We landed in Winnipeg at 7pm just before an awaited snowstorm and headed straight to an airbnb which we had booked earlier.

I am gradually settling in. I am still trying to come to terms with the time difference. It's a whopping 7hours between Nigeria and Canada.

I am glad to be here. It's home to me and it's worth every bit of my push, sacrifice and effort. I love the elementary and middle schools. The facilites are top-notch. I had an overwhelming sense of fulfilment the first day i accompanied my kids to school. I love the people of Canada, especially Manitoba. They are very kind and welcoming. I love the sérénity and the calm.
Will i do this again if i have to? Yes!

My landing gist. First i want to thank God Amighty for making my dream come true. I also want to thank the moderators and some wonderful friends here, mamaroon, Graciouswords and others in the TEF thread. You guys are amazing.

I landed in Canada 12th April. Settling down and doing all the initial paperwork took so much of my time. Now i am a bit settled in and can share my landing story. I'm afraid it's a fairly long one.

I decided to immigrate to Canada in mid-January 2019. Before then, i never thought of leaving Nigeria.
So i started gathering information on the process. The nairaland Express entry thread was really helpful.
I started by writing ielts. I was pregnant at the time with an EDD of 19th february. I needed to write before my EDD. As soon as i got my salary that month, i headed for the passport office to renew my passport which had long expired. I was lucky to have it issued in 3days. With my shiny passport in hand, i rushed to MOD/IDP in Ogudu. I was lucky to get a lot for 9th february. Obviously, someone had cancelled his schedule. On the exam day, i missed my way to the venue and went to a different one. I had just 30 minutes left. My husband had hardly stopped the car at the right venue when i ran out with my big belly. I was panting.
Results were released:
IELTS : L8.5 W7.5 S8 R9. That was my first attempt.
I was excited. My elder sister who had been "preaching" Canada to me for many years was super excited.

Good evening fam. I believe everyone’s doing okay. Please I’m caught in a dilemma. I have up to 5m and i have two options.
1. Get a high paying fed job
2. Go for msc programme in canada.
I believe everyone’s mature enough here to share their candid opinion.
I’ll be reading the comments. Thank you!

I résigned from my federal job and moved to Canada. No regrets at all.
I know former CBN staff who have relocated to Canada with their families. Same goes for highly skilled professionals in banks and other sector.
Msc in canada is the way to go

Hunter102:
Thanks for all your advice. I finally accepted the scholarship.

good. Learn the german language. Take it seriously

True. Children should learn at their pace. I once taught a class of 5year olds many years ago. One of the pupils would only eat and sleep. He didn't know numbers and couldnt speak properly. His results were always so bad that we had to patch them up to please his parents who wete always the first to pay fees. After many years, that same child got a fully paid scholarship to study créative writing in the US at masters level. He has several published stories to his credit.

I want to learn how to lock and relock hair. Please recommend experts who always have clients as i only have a few weeks at my disposal

DrFunmisticGlow:
even medicine is not left out o.

People don't want to pay doctors. They'll rather call doctor friends to give them free treatment.

But on to the topic.

Developed nations are somehow going back to trades and skills.

Many people especially young boys are seeing college for what it is, a scam. The number of young men going to college is dropping. They'll choose rather to go to trade school since it is cheaper.

Yes you are right but when the situation becomes critical and life-threatening, they go to the doctor.
Blue collar jobs are quite profitable abroad. They even evade taxes without conséquences, when their clients pay them in cash.

Artisans arent well-paid in Nigeria because Nigerians dont like paying for services. They bargain service charge like they are pricing garri. This extends to even other service related professions except médecine.
Trading in goods is more profitable. It's the reason some plumbers and carpenters now sell building materials instead of actually rendering services.

tshtsh:
I have the emedical information sheet

ok. Does it show the results have been submitted? If not, follow up with the clinic

tshtsh:
How long does it take IOM lagos to upload medical results to IRCC?

it took 13days in my case. Call them to know if it has been uploaded or ask them to send the e-medical information sheet to you.

Shindar:
hello good morning, I had remedicals done at q-life about 2 weeks ago, and since then, no change in the profile. I see we are awaiting your medical result where the medicals is and I know it usually dosen't take them this long to upload. What could be the problem? I'm a bit concerned.

follow up with qlife to confirm if they have uploaded your results. If they have, send the e-medical information sheet given by qlife to ircc via webform.

Ayandee, don't join bad gang o.......we are giving you another chance....oya annonce this PPR well....

Ikigayana:
Please how can a lawyer get provincial nomination

it's hard if not almost impossible to get pnp using the lawyer noc 4112. If you have done other jobs apart from law after graduation and you have at least one full year experience in that job, i will advise you create a profile with that.

Alternatively, if you are open to learning a new language, you can learn french to boost your score. As a lawyer, this was what i did and i have PPR now.

All the best.

angelfallz:
The Kwara state government should be held responsible for the gradual division of the once peaceful Kwara state along religious lines.
Nigeria does not have leaders at all. We like to treat symptoms instead of the cause.

The cause of this hijab crisis is because the kwara state(military) government took over missionary schools from the missionaries.
It is on this basis, that some muslims are insisting on the wearing of hijab, since the missionary schools are govt owned but run by the missionaries.

A smart governor would simply return the schools back to the missionaries and remove the hand of the government from the schools.

Palava finish!

But no, our leaders would rather stoke religious tensions to further themselves.

God bless you for this comment. You have spoken well. Lagos did this a long time ago. The government returned mission schools to the missionnaires. Why can't Kwara do that?

When shall we be free from corruption? We see its effect in every sector: health, education, power génération etc because what belong to all has been diverted by one. Who will fix this country ?
