LAjibade:
Hello everyone. I have a question and was hoping you could shed me some light in a matter. I am in America. I went to Nigeria in 2011 and married my husband. I petition for him in 2012 and he arrived to America in 2013. Three months later he left. He is here in America, just not with me. He just left once he received his social security number, his permanent visa and a job in two months of being here. I haven't heard from him nor seen him again. I been wondering for a long time if my marriage to him is valid. In the marriage license it says it expired in 2013. I don't understand that.

Was our marriage set up or arranged to be temporary? I don't really understand Nigerian law or customs concerning marriage. (I am not Nigerian) I know my husband was rushing me to get him here before that expiration date. I am very confused. I also went to the office of public records here in America and they couldn't find any marital records of me and my husband, nothing. On the back of my marriage license issued in Nigeria, there is a website of marriage records, I entered my name and his name and didn't find anything. It just says no records found. Am I married to him or was it all fake? Can you please help me find out? I'd appreciate it. Even if it was all a scam, I still have Nigeria in my heart and will never have anything against Nigeria and Nigerians. Just my husband. Thank you in advance.

Most likely.. He was on a mission... Your best bet is to contact USCIS.

Cost of this project... 1 trillion Naira

Why do Nigerian lecturers\ professors always act like mini god Some vowed to show thier students pepper. ... Me i tire oooo

nightmile:
I concur! But in a multinational coy , employees on same level and grade may have differences in their take home pay which could be due to your CV and what you have to offer the company but as you said there is always a baseline amount for each position.

Spot on... Pay based on experience

I was invited to an interview which was held yesterday in their headquarter office. I thank God all went well not untill I was asked how much I think the company can pay me? But my response was 50k but am afraid if I have bleeped up for saying that or is it appropriate or not. I want my dear nairalanders in the house to please advice me on the implication of this pay level to ur success in getting ur desired job

Don't worry about that..that question is asked for a different reason.. If you are successful they would pay you the appropriate amount for the position..

Cheers!

As a Lawma employee .. Pick up the trash

I only ask for constructive criticism..You could diasgree with Biafra but dont have to rain abuses on Biafrans. Why can't we even have a civil conversation in this country

Last year, Scotland had a referendum which failed of course but pro-independence made their voice heard.


Catalan have been agitating for independence fro Spain since who knows when..

My thing is people have a right to this conversations but the government is making the matter worse.. Making the people turn against themselves..

Actually, there was a a time Texas mulled succession from U.S.. Petition above 300k was submitted to white house..

So don't be bittered by hatred, there is nothing wrong yhe protest as long as it was peaceful

Go leave your trash for lawma Abegi

[quote author=agarawu23 post=42167477][/quote]Mr. Man, there's no call for making sensless statements and name callings.
You might have your personal opinion about Biafra which is ok but that doesn't warrant spitting rûbbish,

A contructive criticism would do

Greetings sir,

My fiancee's visa was approved on the 7th of Jan. 2015.. She was handed a paper that her visa would be available in 10 days.. But no update yet.. I checked ceac.state.gov and that status have not been updated since the 11th of Jan 2015 and it still says "Ready" for interview..

I sent email to the consulate last week but have not received any updates..

Could you please assist??

I could provide my case number too with your permission.

Thank you.

[color=deeppink]Hi all, my car was involved in a wreck and we picked up the mechanic to fix my car and for no reason she began telling the mechanic that she pays my car insurance and pays everything for me. It looked liked she was purposefully trying to humiliate me.

What do you think?[/color]

Where do u stay?

I know this might not be totally right but at least it will make me feel great. Egbon wants to get married in march and automatically I will become the best Man. But I don't want him to get married to her. It is not because of her but the dad.

It all started back in 1998 my dad was having a court case with our supposed in-law over our house. The house was sold to my dad by the late late brother of our supposed in-law. That was even before my dad got married. We have lived in that house for more than 10yrs. My siblings and I were born there. After the death of the brother in 1998 he dragged my dad to court saying his brother was only a benefactor and does not have the legal right to sell the building and their late father made him the executor of His properties according to the late father's will. My parents were partners in business and their office was located at the ground floor of the building where we lived. Their goods were also stored there (plumbing equipment).

Prior to joining the plumbing business, my dad was into commercial inter-state transport services after suffering heavy losses he auctioned what was left and joined my mum in the plumbing business. A year later he was in court with our supposed in-law. The legal battle started in December. Egbon travelled with an aunt of mine who had won a visa lottery the previous year. My sisters were older than the guys. they were already in boarding school. I was the king of the house. My dad suffered many embarrassment at the hands of our supposed in-law. He dragged the case for some years money meant for business ended up in legal battles. My dad had to borrow to pay suppliers. He couldn't not order for new materials anymore and the business eventually collapsed. Extended families gave their support until 2003 when a lagos high court handed our supposed in-law victory

My dad wanted to appeal the judgement but his lawyer told him to get an apartment with whatever he has left. Although my parents thought they hid everything from us. Perhaps my sisters didn't notice because they were not always home but I saw my mum cry severally. I saw the fears in my dad eyes. I listened to their whispering at night I knew we were doomed. Our supposed In-law sold the house to a bank. The bank gave two weeks to evacuate. But before the notice expired they brought sledge hammer and started destroying the building with our properties in it. My dad tried to protest but he was beaten and arrested. For the first time I saw our "Supposed In-law" that day ordering the boys to destroy everything. My dad was later released days after. I went to live with my cousins. My sisters also went to live with my other cousins.

In 2006 I wrote a mail to Egbon I narrated all that happened to him and he vowed he was going to ensure that they payed for it dearly. Few years later, I got admission into the university my parents embraced christ; But I still feel bitter. How time flies, my sisters are both married and it's just me preparing for the life of a bachelor; Until recently my brother told me his plans of getting married, I noticed it because he has visited us more than usual last year and had extensive discussions with my parents. But whenever He came back He still promised my dad that he will never forget all that happened. My dad told him that was in the past but I know what my brother was capable of doing as regards family.

He brought his supposed girl friend (I believe that is all she will ever be) to the house last christmas everyone welcomed her but immediately I set my eyes on her, she looked like the man that was giving orders to tear down our house. I asked her for her surname, when she said ****US, I knew she was the daughter of our long time enemy. When they left, my mum and dad begged me that I shouldn't say anything. That they have forgiven him. She invited my parents and I during the new year but I declined. I have also told my brother I can't be his best man. He thought am joking cos it was via mail. My brother had assured me severally whenever I told him what became of us after then that incident and he told me "I will give up anything to deal with the Man that messed with my family". I guess I will have to tell him the whole truth. But my parents keep calling me every single day to beg. "Saying I should not bring him misery. That they were happy he decided to bring home a cool headed lady".....But I just can't let it go. Unless my brother and I will decide not to be brothers anymore because I will never go to his house if he marries her. I will never associate myself with him or anything that has to do with him.

I have finished typing the truth I want to send the mail to him...I don't know why I am hesitating (I guess my parents will forgive me sooner or later) but he has to know the truth!!!!....i can't dine with my enemy!.....I don't want to see her dad face again....never...I hope am doing the right thing....i think I am.....perhaps I am...

Tell your brother the truth, if he decides to continue that's his business...
But do tell him to free your conscience.... Here's the thing.. There's nothing hidden under the sun, he will eventually know sooner or later..
Cheers!!

Its a pity to see the Mbaka that was revered by his people is now rejected by same.
Am a catholic and all my life I know that the only priest that can't be transfered is the pope

You are absolutely correct,,..... "The only priest that can't be transferred is the pope.... " but some priest seems like they are above that transfer rule like Fr. Mbaka and Fr. Edeh in Elele

Could this be the missing 2016 budget

Please give that money to Dasuki to share to Nigerians. He knows how to share money without ethnic or religious bias

Well that's actually a policy in most universities... But one thing for 9Ja be say them sabi make laws and policies but implementation is the wahala

Lots of peeps thinks marriage is all about this.....

Ok nah.. Leave Trash for Lawma

mart2k:
Commom sense suppose to tell u dat there is no way Govt wl just go n demolish d place without informing them. If uar d govt, wl u do d same?

But someone mentioned that the place was on a lock down after xmas and the people weren't allowed access to move thier goods..
Could you rebut this claim?

IyaIode:
They must have given them a notice, there are many markets and structures with notice of demolition but the traders rather move their things will start bribing government officials.

I am a bit concerned if LASG actually gave this guys notice, am not saying they did or didnt and can't assume anything... But from the statement released by LASG, it did not mention that the government gave the traders the appropriate notice..... Just saying.

Aromas:
Nigerians sha

That's not a big deal ma broda...

Why do celebrate this wicked politicians

If he had built nice infrastructures, created jobs the kids parents might have gotten jobs and paid the bills themselves...

By the way, it is the governments duty, obligation to take care of its citizens and its the citizens right and not a privilege to demand such from the government...

Cheers

The bitter bite

I am talking about something positive.

What did you learn from him. Be sincere with your soul, body and spirit

What is it to learn from Jonathan

The man that couldn't build a bridge for his native Bayelsa What did he even do for his community Opened his farm in Abuja instead of at least in his native state to create jobs Nothing to help his kins men..
Haven't you heard about this corruption flying around
It's about time people start to hold this man accountable.. He mismanaged the country.. Crippled our economy... What was his notable achievements as a president Steady power supply Second niger bridge Free education What exactly
