Misstearious:
So I decided to try nairaland to see if I would get lucky.

I am in my early twenties , I am an introvert and plus size( let's be clear on this). I have a well paying job and I can take care of myself so you don't have to worry about my financial needs.

*I'm hoping to find a man who's within the age range of 28_40 , should be at least 6ft tall and with a good source of income.
*It's better if you live in Lagos, Osun or Ibadan.
*Please know how to express your emotions. I also don't want boring men, know how to converse and Be patient.
*He should be straight and not Bi-sexual
*Be over your Ex. I am not willing to be a rebound.
*Be a sincere plus size lover, not the one who tries to transform me into a slimmer girl.


PS: we need to have some sort of understanding before planing to meet up. It'll take a while to meetup.

If this is you , please send a Pm. I cannot wait to get to know you .

You shouldn't be plus-size if you are in your early twenties. You really should watch what you eat.

Good day everyone,

Please I need help from anybody who can do so.

I am an applicant from the student visa for the Fall resumption and my application have well exceeded the standard processing time.
I took our famous nairaland step of emailing the Mps and was lucky to get a positive response from just one office.

My dilemma:
The office just requested for additional information from me to enable them follow up with the application, my date of birth and my address where I would stay in Canada.
I haven't booked my flight yet not to talk of an apartment.

The expected help:
Please, abeg, ejoor, mbok, biko, any resident of Halifax Nova scotia to help me with his or her address so I can send same to them. I don't want to miss this opportunity of their help as it has been known to spun visa officers to work.

I am willing to forward the mail trail to any helper as proof.

Why don't you just explain to them that you don't have an address because you are not in Canada yet? It's that simple. Don't take it for granted that these guys can understand another person's situation. What you shouldn't be doing is lying using another person's address.

Full disclosure - Not a Canadian Immigrant , but I know a company that has a product you guys will like love!

Kaoshi (www.kaoshinetwork.com), enables its Canadian users to Send Naira, from any bank account in Canada directly to their beneficiary's Naira bank account in Nigeria.

How? We’re a digital peer-to-peer platform that enables the Nigerian Diaspora (e.g. you in Canada) directly swap their currencies (e.g. CAD) with Nigerians in Nigeria, who have Naira but need your CAD. All transfers happen in real-time, in a safe and secure manner.

By the way, it's not just Canada Kaoshi, enables transfers from - 40+ countries worldwide as well.

Happy to answer any questions!

When you have the one that can send naira from Nigerian bank account to CAD in Canada, please contact us. This one is already a service in surplus.

India has a whole industry of Indians who have offices running phone scams all over the world. These people are so established that their calls permeate everywhere travelling as far as Canada. How come these people are not arrested?

I will never understand the blatant stealing these guys do. Like wtf! What's going on in Nigeria?

pocohantas:
Tell us what happened exactly.

Something motivated this rant.

Why is that of interest? Are the several topics making front page everyday not enough?

IVF

Interesting how they'll always say "glory to god" when it is Science that has produced this.

Are you surprised?

We were far more productive in 1980 than we are today

In 1980 the key reasons for economic growth were are as follows:

1) We were a net exporter of refined petroleum products. Today we import all our refined petroleum products.

2) We rode in locally assembled cars, buses and trucks. Peugeot cars in Kaduna and Volkswagen cars in Lagos.

Leyland in Ibadan and ANAMCO in Enugu produced our buses and trucks.

Steyr at Bauchi producing our Agricultural tractors.

And it was not just Assembly, we were producing many of the components.

Vono products in Lagos producing the seats.

Exide in Ibadan producing the batteries, not just for Nigeria but for the entire West Africa.

Isoglass and TSG in Ibadan producing the windshields.

Ferodo in Ibadan producing the brake pads and discs

Tyres produced by Dunlop in Lagos and Mitchelin in Portharcourt.

And I mean tyres produced from rubber plantations located in Ogun and Cross Rivers State.

3) We were listening to Radio and watching television sets assembled in Ibadan by Sanyo.

4) We were using refrigerators, freezers and Airconditioners produced by Thermocool and Debo.

5) We were putting on clothes produced from the UNTL textile mills in Kaduna and Chellarams in Lagos.

Not from imported cotton but from cotton grown in Nigeria.

6) Our water was running through pipes produced by Kwalipipe in Kano and Duraplast in Lagos .

7) Our toilets were fitted with WC produced at Kano and Abeokuta.

� We were cooking with LPG gas stored inside gas cylinders produced at the NGC factory in Ibadan.

9) Our electricity was flowing through cables produced by the Nigerian wire and Cable, Ibadan, NOCACO in Kaduna and Kablemetal in Lagos and Portharcourt.

10) We had Bata and Lennards producing the shoes we were putting on

Not from imported leather but from locally tanned leather at Kaduna.

11) We were mainly flying our airways, the Nigeria Airways, to most places in the world.

The Airways was about the biggest in Africa at that time.

12) Most of the food we ate were being grown or produced in Nigeria.

We were producing all of the above and more in 1980

Today, we import almost everything.

There lies the source of the terrible exchange rate we are experiencing today and everybody reading this has a critical role to play in reversing this very UGLY trend.

We have been talking about these problems and more for ages...

It is not enough for us to complain about the exchange rate or point out what others are not doing or are failing to do, the key question is what are we producing or what are we planning to produce?

Going forward, it's time to ponder and think of the way forward before it's TOO LATE.

What solutions do you have in mind?

Sadly it's going to get much worse. This is a very good call here, but almost nobody sees the urgency. A Venezuela is going to happen in Nigeria. It's inevitable.

SeaTrade:
Why do you say so?

"Ice cream's high sugar content is similarly bad for your heart health – since consuming too much sugar is associated with a higher risk of contracting cardiovascular disease (CVD)."

https://futureyouhealth.com/knowledge-centre/ice-cream-heart-health

They probably won't tell you that it's IVF that made this possible, in effect science, as opposed to the religion they claim to believe in.

Na wa

Ice cream is not good for you. Stay away from food that poisons you.

Abusive practice!

Stupid guy that was holding the position for him since. SEe what Nigerian youths are. Just as corrupt as their old politicians

Lagbaja88:
always playing the victim card when blacks do worse lol

Just look at how Nigerians discriminate against their own kind in the very same country they are all part of. Some Igbos women won't even touch an Hausa man with a long spoon, much less marry him. Yet they scream racism. Then when you press further on why they won't marry Hausa, they'll tell you that you don't understand. They see themselves as completely different

ojxclusive:
Hi Guys,

Please I need your advice on this, which do you prefer and reasons if possible. A job in a multinational that pays 300k and trainings in Europe and the other opportunity is a Masters degree program in France.

Please which of the two would you stick with?

At the end of the day, you are the only person who knows what you want. Don't take advice from small children here who haven't seen 300k before. 300k finishes quite fast. Have you heard of the word "delayed gratification"? That is, you deprive yourself of something good now for something better in the future. If you believe in yourself and you are confident in your abilities (unlike most people here and frankly around the world), you will take the decision that is best for you in that confidence. And that decision could be the job or the masters. It's up to you. You just need to be confident. Don't take a decision out of fear. If you believe that you are good enough at studying, so that you will ace your masters in flying colors and make yourself a more attractive employee, then by all means go for the masters. If, on the other hand, you believe that you could survive with the job, demonstrate that you are a valuable employee and suceed, then by all means go ahead with the job.

Let me finish with a story. I know a friend who turned out a multinational offer with an oil company (north of 1m monthly salary) to go for masters in that same france at Ecole Polytechnique. Went ahead to do a PhD in the US and is now comfortably working in the US. It really is your decision at the end of the day. Just be sure that five years from now when you are getting disillusioned in the company, you don't start looking back and wishing you had done the masters instead.

There is this girl I dated till last year before I got tired of everything.

She is always willing to come to my house or any place I invite her buh won’t allow sex, we will be dragging like someone that is dragging land in the village, struggle for hours buh she no go still gree and me I don’t want to force her.

When I ask her what happened she won’t say anything or sometimes will say stuff like AM AFRAID due to my past experiences.

Am tired of the relationship sef.
Money wey I don spend just Dey pain me and I don’t want to force somebody oo.

What should I do?

There may be something wrong with her body, physically or psychologically. You need to approach it in a much more reasonable way by making her feel comfortable so she can let you in into her body. You are being unnecessarily aggressive.

Probably the only medal we are going home with, except the women's relay team pulls something out of the bag.

nowhere:
Until after then. If no problem, why are we debating? If the rule is 30 days before resumption of classes, one is at the mercy of the CBSA agent.

That's because the decision is not set in stone. It's not a regulation nor a law. It's merely a recommendation

The people refusing Nigerian students from boarding in Nigeria are just exuberant

nowhere:
Keep your fingers crossed until he is admitted into Canada.

He will be allowed in. This is good time to travel, and the decision is simply at the discretion of the CBSA officer. I don't see why he wouldn't allow him enter the country.

Newboss:
I said nothing about morality. Stop getting all emotional. I was stating that a money launderer should not be called a fraudster. Those are two different things.

I didn't even justify anything. Na dull people full this country sha

Dude, you said "a money launderer is a legitimate businessperson". How much worse can it get? Stop speaking with both sides of your mouth.

Newboss:
Yes, it's illegal. That's not the point. The point is that not every street guy is a fraudster. Mompha was into money laundering, not fraud. To tag someone a fraudster, they must have defrauded someone.

Street is a very long chain involving drugs, fraud, money laundering, prostitution, assassination, harassment, intimidation, bribery, match fixing, human trafficking.

I was upset when some people were calling that policeman a fraudster.

Your sense of morality is wrapped, like most Nigerians. No surprise there. You are going down the slippery slope to justify murder soon

maralina:
Hey guys, quick question

My brother’s program starts September 7th, but he intends to travel August 2nd, is it too early to travel? And would it be a problem at naija airport?
Let me know please and thanks.

No, it's not too early to travel. As long as he has his visa and a place to stay when he arrives Canada, nobody can tell him not to travel.
