Sorry, i understand your frustration and please suicide shouldn't be an option.

Apart from Ilaje, Ikale, Some Ekiti, Ondo Ijaws and some core Oyos which we hold in high esteem. Respect to the stool, the Alaafin himself and his terrain and people, you're not a people atall one should even relate with unstable weak spineless human beings

I spit on your head. Shameless cowards

High blood pressure is real.

BluDesk:
What general opinion is anyone forming of yorubas. Are you not famous for backstabbing people and sabotaging the interests of the Niger Delta


If the Yorubas claiming they so much love the Itsekiri genuinely do... Would they be siding the North against the development of the Niger Delta. Talk o. Olofoo


Na Ogun go scatter your phone


The obvious envy of the yoruba against the Niger Delta is what the allies called Itsekiri doesn't see and blinds them as though is love


If two-thirds of the Senate and house of reps choose to vote to grant states power to control their resources would yorubas not vote 100% against the people she claimed she loves


My friend. Everyone knows yoruba thoroughly as an unstable people who are cowards and are Bull of betrayal and backsabbing


So what do you mean people form opinions about you


My first 10M in life I brought yorubas close. I know the number of times I escaped death. Thankfully you're all not a strong people. Empty foolish set of tins

You're just an unwise nicompoop . You'll die of your toxic heart. Nobody owes you any pacifying, maybe you deserve it all and much more to come, maybe it is karma, that will hunt you till you die. Ass hole

BluDesk:
Shut up


Ife Modakeke crisis of just yesterday is what you're crying over like it's a big deal. Go and sit down. Them dey talk issues, Ray dey come out. Thunder fire you and your Ife Modakeke noise there. How old were you then. Buffon

You people will go to lagos and form a general opinion on all Yoruba people due to the noisy lousy nature of the dirty agberos there, believe! it is people like you that they were drinking their blood and eating their flesh during that war time, you are a nobody, when you get down to where the real deal is, you won't survive.
Baby.

BluDesk:
Shut it. Ife Modakeke is now what. No yoruba can stand the heat in Warri. I maintain it. Una sabi fight?

Which heat ?
Did they use armour tank or jet bomber?
Unnecessary bragging and noise, there was no weapon that could have been put to use in Warri that was not used in Ife Modakeke, so much that mobile police men had to be removing their clothes to avoid been killed, they lost men and their fire power was nothing to the fortified youths fighting. Abeg leave story, if a boy never visited another man's farm, to him his father's is the largest.

BluDesk:
My dear. I was on ground in those days. Nobody crossed even Edo state into Warri to go fight wars. Also, yorubas can't survive the kind of battles fought in Warri. Don't say things you don't wish that when it happens, you would wished it didn't.

Was it Alien that fought there, open mouth and just be disrespectful, Ijaw Ilaje people too no fight? Maybe if you experienced Ife Modakeke skirmish, maybe you will stop bragging.

Chai what a deep name.
To be very frank, Yoruba might have one or two things to learn from Itsekiri, seems they possess more depth in their names and words composition than us. Th

Lekiboboe:
I will suggest you share your profile , so members & dem gurus can see what went wrong in your application in relation to the refusal reasons on your GCMS notes

E.g
- What you studied, and your degree qualification
- Job name
- How you intend to fund the program
etc.

Cos many things on your GCM notes stated things related to Your Academic/Career progression, Job experience, Home ties, Financing your study etc.

By the way, on the last page of your GCMS notes or so, there ought be a bolded VO's comment, stating the reasons why your application was refused.

Endeavor to go through this content in the link below as you are preparing your reapplication

Common Refusal Reasons And How To Tackle Them
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/28#89356538

is this what you mean by profile? I studied Accounting with management options in school and a public servant of 13yrs.experience, i have a thriving Agriculture business plus my paid job. As at now i have built my account with funds required. I have gone through the link sent on purpose of refusal. I just need to see if my sop is good enough, i have tried in addressing the points raised.

Pls lekiboboe can you help?

Hello house, i got my refusal sometime around October last year, i have since deferred, i actually started the online classes in an MBA program from UNBC, BC. I am on the verge to reapply and have started gradually in addressing issues raised. I have drafted qnothe SOP, nobody is an island of knowledge, i really need a kind guru to help peruse what i have written and possibly direct if there is any need for adjustment. Thank you

Just disgraced himself. With all his money he ended up with a lowlife bitchie ass ghetto black american woman.

I expected more from him but he just disappointed me

Exactly and those folks are dangerous human beings, they owe no one a single loyalty, they can destroy anything around them. Set you up for money, Tyson , Tupac and a whole lot of their stars have fallen victim to such blackmail and eventual incarceration. It's better to deal with other races than to deal with a whole lot of them. Very crazy set of people.

Big congratulations Sir! If you have never been in this man's shoes, you will never understand his predicament and the joy this victory brings now! I bless God for you, Sir. Only God knows how many sleepless nights you must have had, praying and crying out to Yahuah Elohim for justice. Psalm 24 says: He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Abba Father, defender of the oppressed has spoken for you. Hallelujah

Hmmmmmmmm.

Awon 5% defeating 97% since 1914.
Bad day for cat scratch faced oil soupers
Just as they were trying to digest the news of 5% defeating 97% in NECO,another sad news is here for them.

They hardly beat their chests or boast around on their achievements. Till date Their son is still one of the best NBA player ever, he is mentioned in top 5 or top 10 in different categories. Of late one of their sons became first Nigerian in the Congress, no one beat his or her chest about it, because it was seen as one of many that happened and will still happen........ no bigggy. There is no issues about these ones, because the sky is big enough for all to fly. It is only in your shallow mind, that you are making issues out of this, none of them even recognises you. Strive to achieve on your own goals, these great sport men have carved out a great path for themselves.

Time2soar:
If the available funds cover the tuition for the two years and the living expenses for the whole family for two years, you can reapply with the whole family but you need to state what is at home that will bring you back and that should be your business and also state clearly why you want your family to accompany you.

It is better when you are the sole sponsor, it shows your business is doing very well.

Okay thank you, i appreciate. I will wait on the notes to know the specifics and then reapply. God bless.

Time2soar:
Sorry about your refusal. You are refused on two ground home ties and available funds because you are travelling with you family and it is a two years program. You should apply alone and let your wife stand as co sponsor since it is a two year program and the buck of the money is in your wife account. Also your wife standing as co sponsor and staying back will answer the question of how you intend to pay for the second year. The purpose of visit was added because of the lack of home ties and fund which put your purpose in doubt
Wish you success in your next application

However my Business account has received funds since the last time i printed and submitted it to CIC, the fund covers much more than what is needed for Tuition and myself and two family members for 2 years, i might not need my wife to co sponsor any longer. Is it advisable to still reapply with three of us or i should apply for myself alone.

Hello ayyoshert

You’re welcome.

MBA seems fine to me. The gcms notes would throw more light into the “purpose of visit”

With your tuition, the funds you submitted cannot work. You tuition is high!! With approximately 26k per session. That’s about 52k cad for a year(correct me if I’m wrong please)

If you add 52k and the 17k for living expenses I calculated previously, you’ll see your balance was too low. Also remember they’ll most likely want to see how you can pay your tuition for the second year.

My advice would be to look for a course with cheaper tuition or take your time to build your account up. You’ll be needing a lot of money.

All the best

Thanks.
The 26k is for a year though, the 52k is for the whole program.

Chocs:
Hello ayyoshert

Sorry to hear about your refusal.

First thing you should do is to order your gcms notes. The reasons you were given in your refusal letter is generic. To see the specific cause of your rejection, you need to order your GCMS notes. To do that, just google “GCMS notes sites” and you’ll see several websites you can order it from. It costs between $15-$20 and can take up to 35 days to be ready. Please order it immediately. From the notes you’ll see the visa officer’s concerns and you’ll be able to address it before replying if you decide to reapply.

For your study permit application, you should show your tuition for the first year plus at least 10,000 cad for your living expense
For the people accompanying you, you need 4,000 cad for the first and 3,000 cad for every additional person, so for your wife and son you need 7,000 cad

This brings what you need to show for living expenses to 17,000 cad (approximately 5 million) plus Your first year tuition.

Also note that since you’re self sponsored the visa office will check for prospects on how you’ll pay your tuition for the subsequent years (if the program is more than one year) So you need to show a lot of money.

Was there any unexplained lump/huge sum deposit into the account in the time frame of the statement you submitted? That’s another reason for rejection on financial grounds.

I’ll advice you build your account up a lot more.

As for purpose of visit, it could be that your statement of purpose/letter of explanation was not very convincing or it could be that the course you’re going for isn’t showing a career/academic progression.

For the house to be able to advise you properly, you can share what you studied previously and the level (eg bsc, HND) and the course you’re going for now and the level. Also share what area your current employment is in. Usually your proposed study should align with your previous study or employment.
Please also share the length of the course you applied for in Canada and the tuition fee.

As for family ties, you applied with your whole family. They think you won’t be coming back. You can tackle that by reapplying without them, and bringing them over after you’ve gotten your study permit. Although people have applied with their family and gotten it, if you want to do that, you’ll have to show strong financial ties to the country (landed properties, assets worth a lot, a good job to come back to etc)

Lastly, if you’re applying without your family, you must show proof that they’ll be well taken care of in your absence (enough funds) All the money belonging to the family cannot be used for your studies. You’ll need to show a good amount available for their survival.

All the best sir

I do really appreciate you for the time you took to elaborate on steps to take, you're a wonderful person. I will order for the gcms as advised. I studied Mgt and Accounting at undergraduate level(Bsc), the course applied for is MBA for 2years( 25, 687 CAD per session) i work in the public service, as a senior staff who manages surbodinates i felt an MBA program can align. I indicated in my SOP of courses and training i have done outside the country US and India and how i believe the MBA program will assist me in making better decisions in managing people after i come back to my job in Nigeria. It's disappointing, However i will check the notes to see the specific issues.

I greet everyone. My application includes my wife and son, However have just been refused, i have commenced the fall semester on online platform (University of northern British Columbia), i made use of 3 accounts: My Wife's Account which i am.also a signatory has like 14m, My Business account with 2.5m in it and my Salary account from work( Public servant). There is an affidavit on my wife's account to show that the money in it is to be used to finance the program and other expenses. I have a Farm registered with cac( i didn't furnish them the cac documents, only the account statements which has 2.5m as stated above) I was refused with following reasons. Please any insight and way forward?

When he was chasing, he never knows the lady and by the time the lady gives in, it becomes demystified and he sees things that he didn't see earlier when his eyes were blinded by the anxiety of the chase. If he truly wants the lady, he wont be discouraged but if it was just not real then he might become uninterested.

These are Genets,
Same order/genus/family with Civets.
They are smaller and have elongated neck and head.

Kunlesina:
This animal lives on the tree and it barks like dog in the night expecially in the rural areas. it called "Hohaha" in my local dialect Civet in English language.

Ofafa/Owawa is Hyrax
Civet is Eta.

Tree or rock Hyrax.

Gabriel004:
Egunsi is a Yoruba word for it. Even Hausas eat egunsi.

Yoruba calls it Efo elegunsi
Igbo calls ofe egunsi
Hausa calls it Miyan gushi.

Everyone prepares it differently. You people do your own with little oil and pepper. Yoruba prepare their own with lots of oil and little more paper cos it will make them spit if pepper not added properly.

I don't know how hausas prepare theirs.

So it is not igbo soup.

For real i don't know what egusi means in Yoruba but the sub tribes have their dialectical names for it in Ekiti we call it Eede and Ijebu i think call it Ooshiki. I even remember my late grand mother whenever she came visiting brings one special one that is roasted and eaten like groundnuts, i remember she brings another type very tiny compared to the regular one. It will be funny for any tribe to lay any claim to it, this ia an African plant that grows everywhere the only point could only be the mode of cooking preparation.

Ngozi123:
Yes, it is. How do you say "melon" in Igbo and how do you say "melon" in Yoruba?

We call it Eede in Ekiti
Some others call it Oosiki i guess Ijebu.

This might help as I see it deeper than other internet Yoruba translations. The study as shown in the link gives credence to Lucumi, being an ancient Yoruba, it will still retain the old words which are no more in use in standard Yoruba.

Debaiz:
This is totally wrong every Yoruba proverb points to the fact that EKUN is Tiger.

Kaka ki kiniun s’akapo EKUN, won a yaa s’ode won loto’to ni

A leopard can never be compared to a lion in any way let alone suggesting having same hunting purse. Lions kill Leopard every time they come in contact. Only a tiger can stand up to a lion.

Yiyo EKUN bi t’ojo ko

Leopard are not known to tiptoe when hunting. They ambush their prey. Either by jumping on them from the top or crouching to the flow and wait. Tigers are known worldwide to be the most sneaky of all the cats. They have the ability to walk on dried leaves without making sound. This is helped by their large meaty and fluffy paws that makes each of the step to be soft.

So which one is a stalker hunter between Tiger and Leopard. Leopard is a very elusive hunter, which stalks it's prey. So who are the Yorubas referring to as 'Yiyo'. Then I have never seen an 'awo ekun' used by hunters and traditional chiefs for wall decorations or regalia look like the skin of a tiger.

Venerable612:
This is wrong.

First off the name Amotekun has nothing to do physical semblance as such.

It literally translates - “one who knows as Ekun”.

Again, you are wrong that Yoruba doesn’t have a transalation for Tiger - because our fathers didn’t have an encounter with them.

In fact Tiger has two Yoruba names. It could be called OGIDAN or EKUN. That’s why they say this provide - “Ogidan o ni se Barber, ki aja de be lo ge irun”.

And “KAKA KI KINIUN SAKAPO EKUN, OLODE A MAA RODE.“ Mind you Lion in Yoruba is Kiniun. And no one will ever compare a Lion with a Leopard. No animal can stand the Lion grit for grit amongst the Cat Family other than the Tiger; hence, the comparison.

Also, when Yorubas jokingly refer to someone as Ekun - it’s to represent that the person is a Strong man.

Thus,

Lion - Kiniun
Tiger - Ogidan and Ekun
Leopard - Amotekun
Cheetah - Owawa.

Hope this helps.

Ogidan olola iju,
Ogidan de ako omo ni ila lai labe.
That's some of the the panegyrics salutations of ogidan otherwise known as leopard also known in common yoruba as Ekun, Amotekun is Cheetah my brother not Owawa. Owawa or Ofafa is a tree climbing animal, like a smallish bear, not dangerous. Hmmm Yoruba, we are losing touch, and the wrong is hailed as right.

Where have you guys put Sunday Igboho,
OMG, Yoruba ma ni problem o, Etan, ote, ete ati orisirisi nkan mi be be lo lo n affect wa. We have men, powerful men who can take these bandits, but disunity, treachery and plot that one that befell us since Afonja and Alaafin Aole days is still our major wahala. All I see is FIASCO in this Amotekun thing, seems politicised already.
