Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by buddwizer: 5:46am On Jun 07, 2021
Hello please, I need some insights in understanding this process. I hear the last score was 380. Is there any reason why someone with 391 wouldn't get an invite. I'm a bit confused on this. Appreciate answers that could clear this out for me.
Thank you

averageguy:
I'm in the line for my state to get it.

But after being in line now for over 2 months, I am just as worried about finally getting to the front of the line and then somebody gives me AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson with their 70% effectiveness.

I'll probably still accept it, but will first complain and ask for other options cheesy
Actually Johnson and Johnson is currently the best of them out right now. It's effective against most of the new variants compared to Moderna and Pfizer.
And again, you probably don't understand he concept of this efficacy completely. Do you know that even the annual flu shot is most time not even up to 50% effective.
Travel / Re: Ban On Foreign Airlines Triggers Fare Rise by buddwizer: 6:27pm On Sep 10, 2020
folarr:
They said that the reason they banned those airlines from entering Nigeria is because they banned Nigerian airlines from entering, as an act of retaliation? My question is which Nigerian airline operates scheduled flights to France? or the Netherlands? or Germany? I don't know why the FG is always acting like a bunch of 5-year olds

They banned Nigerian passport holders not Nigerian airlines

USMissionNGRA:
Hello buddwizer,

The wait time for F1 visas is significantly less than the wait time for B1/B2 visas. We make every effort to ensure that students can make their program start dates on time. If you are having difficulty scheduling an F1 visa application at a time that works for you, please use the "Request an emergency appointment" option on the CGI website.


Hello USMissionNGRA, Thank you for your reply. I have now put in an application for the renewal of my F1 visa. However, its been over a week and i cannot seem to get an appointment date. I keep seeing the message "There are currently no appointment dates"
as shown in the screen shot. Also, i do not have an option to pick an emergency date. My new session starts by the last week in August 2019.

Travel / Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We're Listening Pt. 3 by buddwizer: 12:45am On May 09, 2019
Hello USMissionNGRA,

For doctoral students currently on F1 visas and who often require travel in and out of the US for academic conferences. How can they apply to renew their visas in Nigeria with the current 5 week wait periods for Dropbox? Since a wait time of 5 weeks would be a huge disruption to their academic program.
Are there other options or considerations available?

Hello all, i confirmed from my Fedex tracking details that my waec certificate has been delivered to WES since 24th December. However my status is still showing "we are waiting for your documents" on the WES portal.

Should i not at least have seen an update on the waec certificate OR is it that all my other documents (scratch card, degree certificate and degree transcripts ) also need to come in before the status changes?

Please your advice is needed on this. Thank you


Hello my people, please any advice on this.....

Hello Abuja and Lagos NIV,

Considering a PhD prospective student who will be fully funded by his institution with a Research Assistanship, while filling the DS 160 form, the section that requires the information with " who will be responsible/funding your trip".
Does he select COMPANY/ORGANIZATION"
and If so, should the name, phone number and contact of the school or the department/faculty be provided in support of this.

Thank you for you anticipated response.
Health / Re: HIV/AIDS Conspiracy Theories: Do You Believe The Virus Is Real? by buddwizer: 10:59am On Nov 10, 2017
UrennaNkoli:
So I was having a discussion with friends at work today about HIV and shockingly not all of us agreed on whether the virus is real or not. Some said it a development from the American government to wipe out the African population. They further backed it up with the following theories

1. Why is test results not always constant. They said whatever result you take, its all lies. Why is it that you get tested in a hospital and it reads positive. To clear your doubts, you move to another hospital the following day to get a test and it reads negative

2. Many people who have multiple sex partners never get the virus. (forget about theories that some people are immune to the virus) But a first time who decides to have unprotected sex contacts the virus. Isn't that unfair grin Aunty yetunde who is a prostitute is negative while sister chiamaka the choir mistress is positive.

3. Some said HIV might be real but doesn't leads to aids. Its the ARV drugs you take (supposedly developed but the western world to decrease population) that leads to AIDS.

4. The virus was an initial experiment but somehow escaped from the lab

5. Some said its real and have a cure but the pharmaceutical industries are after financial gain. They'll make more profits with patients managing the virus rather than an instant cure/#.
Ever heard of HIV DENIALISM ? Some denialists reject the existence of HIV, while others accept that the virus exists but say that it is a harmless passenger virus and not the cause of AIDS. cheesy

My own candid view is that the virus is real. But I don't believe it leads to AIDS. All the same, protection is key, abstinence is the best. If you test positive today, its not the end of the world. Life goes on.

well whats your take?

My take is that i would really love to know where you work ?
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Is The Job Interview Process Becoming Useless In Nigeria? - Topwritersden by buddwizer: 11:18am On Oct 25, 2017
One thing is that many of these organizations have tonnes of candidates to make the selections from, therefore they will continue to raise the bar in all forms just to weed out or sieve through the pool. But the sad part is that, they might not still get the the best fit for the job. The perfect fit might have been weeded out through the various stages of raising the bar. I think a good solution will be a custom fit recruitment process for particular or individual roles, but again the question is " are they willing to commit time and resources to that ?" or they just take the easy way out.

hello everyone,
1) Please when filling the ds 160 for a toddler accompanying his mother, does one select the b2 visa also or the b1/b2 visa option?
2) Also for the contact in the US option, since the mother has no relatives there, the doctor's office was chosen as a contact, my question now is does one still choose this same contact for the toddler in his ds 160 form.
Thanks

Family / Re: Wedding Night: House Or Hotel, Which Is Preferable? by buddwizer: 4:07pm On Jun 14, 2017
Congrats foxie on your upcoming wedding. I believe your mind is made up on which of these choices to pick. I completely understand your reasons and where you're coming from on them. The truth is that "different strokes for different folks", it really doesn't matter any of the two choices you pick.
But based on your beliefs and what you want for yourself i'll advise to try to convince him how important the matrimonial bed is for your first time. All the best dear

N.B Another thing is you might not even get to do it that night. You could be on OR even you two could be really tired after the day's stress.

At TLS office when submitting your document you should be able to pay for Priority service
Yes put your employment letter as it validates the Intro Letter from your employer

Ok thanks. Do you know if they take only cash or you can pay by card there in the office and also do you know the exact naira equivalent ?
thanks
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by buddwizer: 2:23pm On Nov 16, 2015
Hello all, please how do I make payment for a priority visa application. I tried on TLS website, add services to cart. But I can't see anything in the cart.
Also if one has a letter of introduction from your employer stating your role, how long you have been in the company and in what capacity do you still need an employment letter.
Thanks

chenn:

@BUDDWIZER; pls which is better (cheap and affordable) to operate with master card, current or savings? And since you said you bank with GTB, tell me how I can effect the change of the "default' from current to savings??
Its cheaper on the savings oh, no COT charged. you will fill an instruction form at any branch, just explain to them exactly what you want to do.
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by buddwizer: 10:36pm On Jul 03, 2015
[quote author=chenn post=35453006][/quote]

Your savings and current account are linked to the card but only one of them can be the default, in your case its the current. when you perform most online transactions, it just selects the default. But it can be changed. I have changed mine with gtb several times. Everytime i get issued a new card it comes with my current as default. what they would do is to de-link the current, leave the savings on it, then link the current back again, so the savings is now the default. You can walk into any branch and explain exactly what you want.

Thanks @justwise and spikesC
As for d 30 days ish,its crazy,how would sum1 travel a month b4 her course starts embarassed more money would be spent. So wots now d essence of filling d form where they asked 'On which date do u wish to travel.....'

I think we are having a little misconception about this 30 days rule. The 30 days actually starts counting before the course start date as stated on your CAS or if your visa is issued less than 30 days before your course starts it will start counting from when it is issued.

so for instance if your course starts 21st sept, your 30 days starts from 21st august ,if you got your visa before 21st august.
lets say you get your visa 10th sept, then your 30 days starts from 10th sept because its less than 30 days before your course starts.

Is it just me, but can anybody really see much sense in this minister's post. FG plans to stop the importation of petroleum products. He never stated how this will be achieved. What are the alternate sources or where are the plans for the refineries? How will diversifying our exports stop importation of petroleum products.
