Poems For ReviewTo My Val by chops33(op): 4:34pm On Feb 14, 2015
To my Valentine who brings me Joy

It's needless when around me to act so coy

So when I look at you and you smile, it's not the wrinkle on your face that I notice.

It's the twinkle in your eyes that I stare at for a while so just know this.

So to my Val , happy Valentine until the end of time.

LiteratureSales Men Not Politicians by chops33(op): 11:37am On Feb 09, 2015
Its that time of the year when our favourite TV shows gets interrupted by campaign rallies, our streets gets littered with posters of frail looking men and u begin to see all kinds of campaign strategies. My current favourite is the customised bags of rice, still wondering what that would taste like. And you begin to hear all kinds of Nobel prize worthy speeches and Oscar nominated performances from these guys. Kinda reminds me of those guys back then in school coming to our lecture halls to sell us stories of how they would transform our school, make sure we have constant power and water supply, reduced transport fares within the school environment and all. Same crap different people! These guys are so good they can sell TV to a blind man or even sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo and I begin to wonder if these guys are actually politicians or sales men. So friends, when Y'll keep Clamouring for "Change" or chanting the currently trending "Forward Nigeria" mantra just remember that these guys do not genuinely care about U, they are just sales men and they are really good at what they do! Be the change u want move Nigeria forward in your own way. I'm not gonna trust the guy with no shoes, he might just take mine grin and I'm certainly not placing my resources in the hands of the guy who has less than a million Naira in his back account, I can't even begin to imagine what he might do. So whether its the guy with the fedora or the frail looking dude its team Switzerland for me! My fellow Twilight fans would understand.
PoliticsThe North As I See It by chops33(op): 11:22am On Jan 28, 2015
The North was not always riddled with violence and uncertainties it was once filled with people from different ethnic and religious background co-existing together living in peace and tranquillity. Its so saddening to see the state of things today. Yes I know that most people who don't live in the North picture it as a war zone, it's been visualised in their minds like a war movie where streets are lined with landmines and you can even step on one and get blown to shreds as soon as you step out of your house. What an utter misconception that is! Even though I'm from the east I'm more of a northerner, the North is my home I was born here, I grew up here and even though it's not as it used to be it's still nothing close to what most people think. We still practice our beliefs in peace, I still go to the corner shop owned by the mallam down the street and I even still enjoy my suya in the evenings at the bustop. The North has its issues no doubt but it's nothing close to what most people who don't live here make it out to be. This is a beautiful place, this is the only place you can still take a bike for as less as N30, I bet if you give a bike man N30 in Lagos he's going to invoke Shango to send thunderstorms to your family home.
The North isn't totally covered with vast hectares of empty lands like most people imagine. Not all Alhajis have cows and funny Northern accents like you see in Nollywoood movies. Northerners are friendly and easy going people. So forget what you think, things are not always what they seem. And yes again I'm from the east but I'm more of a Northerner.
RomanceRe: Insecurities Of A Broke Guy In Every Relationship by chops33(op): 4:50pm On Jan 25, 2015

Simple solution
Make sure you are not a chronic broke guy.
Everyone loves comfort.
Agreed but we all got to start from somewhere...
RomanceInsecurities Of A Broke Guy In Every Relationship by chops33(op): 4:19pm On Jan 25, 2015
It all started with a racing heartbeat and an uncontrollable feeling of nervousness & a little bit of worry, not really understanding what was going on until I paused for a moment and realised it was simply anxiety. Anxiety got the better part of me just hearing she was going out , and I just can't help but imagine the multiple thoughts running through my head. Thoughts of who she was going to see or where she was going to and ultimately what she was going to do and then the anxiety cycle continues then I begin to wonder what's really going on with me then I noticed I have this unexplained feeling inside of me, Unnecessarily worrying about someone who isn't even remotely worried about me or is she?
Well I will never know , I don't have the ability to read minds and I ask myself the ultimate question, am I in love? But if this is love then love must really suck! What kind of feeling messes with your head and leaves you worried.
Its either Hollywood is the biggest scam industry or humans are just congenital liars portraying Love as the sweetest thing ever. Ever since I came in contact with this thing called love all I do is worry but then again someone said its all about the way I handle it (love) that I'm just insecure. "Insecurity" one of the words I have come to dread since "politics". I'm in love with a girl who keeps reminding me how much she loves me right back and would give her right skinny arm for me but then again she goes shopping with a guy she calls her childhood friend who takes care of all her material needs and even acts as her makeshift chauffeur. What can I say, they are just childhood friends. Yes I'm insecure I think, after all I'm just like every other unemployed graduate trying to make ends meet even though we can still pay for our mobile data get a couple of new stuffs for ourselves and we keep the hope alive. This brings me to a major question, can a relationship thrive without finance?
A girl claims to love you to the moon and back but when you don't give her the comfort she wants you become her "special one" but not her "only one". No doubt she loves you but can't be exclusive with you.
Why can't life be simple?
Why can't we find that special someone to be exclusive with?
Must every relationship be solely based on money?
Whatever happened to true love?
Whatever happened to honesty?
So to all the ladies out there, should a guy with so much potentials and a bright future not ask a girl out because he's currently not financially capable?
Wouldn't it be germane to be blunt and honest to tell him you can't have a relationship with a struggling guy than just lead him on.
Relationships are just complicated, we can't always have it all and humans are just insatiable.
So it will be safe to say this...
Guys if u are "Broke" forget Love!
No matter how much you try u end up losing! spare yourself the Anxiety, insecurity and hyperventilation.
Culled from Experiences all over...
Counter thread coming soon.

Sorry about it. Some times and most times, you need to provide someone working or in business that will take responsibility for your finances while you study...
She's back to work now..
Didn't include her previous SOA cos I felt it's a bit old (1 year) since she was on maternity leave...
So if I can get her current SOA from september to when next I apply, ,hope that would fly?
Since insufficient fund was the only reason ticked hope I don't have to worry about anything else? Thanks
Ps: she makes about £ 4400 monthly..

Thanks boss..she will eventually..
So am I good to go?

.... Yes ... that will show that she transferred the money cos u will raise a flag with that huge some dumped into ur account.... she can even refer to the transfer on her Sponsorship letter...
Boss siga.. The problem is , she didn't do a direct transfer because the charge was enormous so a friend paid in the money down here for me and she would give the equivalent to him when u comes around..

Ok.

Like I said before, you may be convinced on what you want to do but convincing the V.O is the challenge.

Anyway bosses in the house can have things to add concerning the issue.

TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 5 by chops33(m): 5:28pm On Jan 07, 2014
Itstyme: Bruh! Brandon might not grant u admission based on your O'Levels qualification alone talk less of you submitting without a transcript. I applied with my waec and neco results initially but denied me and gave an option to submit at least a one year tertiary education transcript and result which I submitted my OND results and transcripts. Got my admission after 1 month. Application fee is $127 and its nonrefundable.
Will Brandon grant u admisson on the Basis of a university transcript only or u still have to send your Waec or Neco result?
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 5 by chops33(m): 2:47pm On Jan 07, 2014

1c$ is equal to how much Naira then?

TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 5 by chops33(m): 1:42pm On Jan 07, 2014
blink6: I had to mail them(brandon) regarding this ish. I intend applying this week, but I am confused...because their app fee is not refundable and I am gonna use a Gce result (no transcript) . I am going for an undergraduate degree btw.

I am still waiting on them for reply. so, if anyone here knows the answer, abeg answer.
How much was it u paid(in naira)?
It was N20,021.97
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 5 by chops33(m): 9:42pm On Jan 06, 2014
canrelocate: You'll definitely need to provide your transcript at some point during the admission process since you've indicated that you've already completed a degree before. You'll definitely need results of your WAEC too (or scratch card info for result verification).

I know of a student that just resumed at Brandon for the Nursing program this January 6th. You can PM me, I'll see if I can designate someone to follow up on your behalf provided you are willing to grant permission for that.

Permission granted...pls Help a brother out.....thanks..
