Greetings Elders,
My sister is 1 step forward in her study permit application, as she got a request for her biometrics somedays ago. We hope for a perfected testimony.

On her behalf, I would like to ask, how can she travel with her children after getting her Study permit?
(She didn't include them as dependents in the application because she doesn't want reduced chances.)

Please advise.

Before your big day comes, have a dream; a realistic dream.

Develop yourself while waiting.

Bayo Omoboriowo is highly phenomenal. He leveraged on his Presidency connect to write his name in the sand of time.
This is what PJ preached about last Sunday; Efficient action. I am proud of the man; Bayo Omoboriowo.

Although the country is ours, the book in question is Bayo's, the Guiness World record accolade also is for Bayo Omoboriowo.

Bro do you understand what they call career fulfilment

Currently I found myself working in an engineering field but in all honesty i dont see myself building a career there wanna be an HR almost done with my certification programs in HR
I try redeploy the last time my HoD refuse let me go... hoping to start applying for jobs outside immediately I am done and currently I am doing some HR volunteer works

There is what they call career fulfilment doing what u have passion for and not just to have a pay check by month end

You are very correct!
But how do you survive in the present? How do you cope with the current tide? Do you resign from a "not so bad career path" because you are looking for career fulfilment and then leave for an unknown land of joblessness?
I validate his efforts to get Engineering certifications. Nonetheless, I opine that we should enjoy the reality that befalls us, if our efforts is not yielding the desired result. We should enjoy it with the hope of a change, and if it never comes.....having done all we could,we relax!

Moreso, you'd shine in audit department because you have an engineering background. You will outshine your peers in that department in a matter of time. You will be an outstanding technical auditor soon enough.

Audit department are usually filled with people with finance and accounting background, they hardly do technical audit well. Their judgement only gets better by long years of experience in an engineering firm.

You will be an outstanding auditor in no time.

Yes! Engineers can be auditors and HR professionals too. Dance to the rythmn bro. Don't put yourself in the box.
I hope you read this and make the best decision for yourself.

jurgenkloppp:
I have worked in a private engineering company for 6 years. I got in through their Graduate Trainee Program in 2015. On completion of my 1 year training, I was deployed to their Audit department despite being an Engineering graduate. I was shocked, dismayed and depressed as I didn't know how my career will pan out working in Audit department as an Engineering graduate.

Fortunately, I started my Masters in Engineering, few months after my deployment to Audit. This gave me some glimpse of hope and direction in my career as an engineer. I have completed my Masters in Engineering program, registered with the Nigerian Society of Engineers (MNSE), Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and the Nigerian Institute of Power Engineers (MNIPE). Despite my professional qualifications in Engineering, I do not have hands-on experience in engineering despite being in an engineering environment.

I have spent 5 years in Audit department, of which largely I have not been fulfilled. I want to practise my profession and I also believe I will add more value to the company if redeployed to a Technical department.

Do you guys think approaching the HR to request for redeployment on the grounds that I believe I can add more value to the company is a good idea? If it is, How can I go about it? I will appreciate your suggestions and advice.

I made this move years back and I regret it now.
Don't force things bro, dance to the rythmn life is playing for you.
There is nothing wrong in developing yourself in this 'new' field you have found yourself. Sometimes God strategically position us for a future we have no clue about.
I regret leaving HR all in the name of I want to practise engineering 5years after. Build yourself in this new found path, it might be your escape route for a better life in years to come.
Your COREN et al are added advantage....they are not a waste.

Congrats to the elders in the house who just got their desired response from IRCC.

Elders, please I need counsel.
I am considering an affordable graduate diploma course in any Electrical Engineering / Data Analytics related disciplines.
(I have a 2.2 in Elect/Elect Eng'g with about 5 years work experience)
The only school I found that offers a related course to my background is Algonquin College (Energy systems) but this course is not available for May 2022 entry. I am planning for May 2022 resumption (This is to give enough time for preparation and visa processing)

Perhaps, I am limited in knowledge of school search, I humbly request for useful advise and suggestions on schools to apply to.

Save a frustrated Nigerian.
Thanks.

I am a young lady in my mid 20s. I don’t live with my parents. I live alone because I work in another city different from where my parents live. My problem now is immediately I get back home from work, I begin to feel lonely. Because of this, I like to close late from work just to keep my mind busy. I close early only if I have other errands to run or if I am very tired.

When I get home, I speak with my parents who try their best to keep me company. But there is still lots of time left before I go to bed. In the height of my boredom, I come to nairaland. Then I go to other blogs to read the news. I read all the news blogs I normally follow. I check out my chats on WhatsApp and Telegram. Usually there isn’t anyone chatting with me because everyone is busy with their lives. I go to Youtube which I have become tired of watching. And at some time I’m just bored to my mind. I don’t like to impose myself on anybody and so I only chat with people who come to chat with me including neighbours.

Sometimes I just want someone around that I can talk to but I’m alone by myself. Single people, how do you cope with boredom. I mean single people who are really single not the ones cohabiting or visiting their partners. Some tips will be very helpful right now.

I am more tired of it my dear.
I wish I could go to a mall to buy a good wife. Even if na "belgium", I for don buy one.
I am sore tired of the loneliness.
God go give us better partner someday sha and make us a better partner too.

Hello everyone.

Please has anyone heard of VFT Forex? Are they reputable?

I heard they offer 20% ROI after a 20k yearly registration.

I would have gone with MBA, but I can't afford to loose their minimum 360k requirement.

They are real as at the last time I checked.

May God give us the grace to find and choose a good woman as a wife.
My shout out to good ladies out there, may your virtues find a good place to express it self.

When a woman is good, the (good) husband can't help but respect and love her!
Congratulations to them.

Alexgman1:
Its up to two years since i broke up with my ex (ALEX MARVEY). But uptil now I haven't gotten over her. She has moved on & deeply in love with someone new who she profess to be engaged to.
She has blocked me on every social media platforms but yet i still find a way to stalk her. Following her updates & uploads using a different and fake id.

Whenever we cross paths on the road she ignores me like we never knew before.
Despite the fact that it was her that messed up and did all the lies & cheating, yet i still forgave her for everything she did.

How can i move on and let go of her totally & for good because anytime i and my new girl are eating, walking, bathing & romancing i do imagine my ex.

It's gonna be hard o but it is possible.
How?, here are my counsels;
1. Ghost her- Stop following her on social media. You need to stop seeing anything that reminds you of her. Delete her number so you won't have to see her whatsapp status.
Unfollow her on all social media platforms. Wake up to this reality bro. She has moved on, you need to move on too. (Woman? Smh, No keeh your sef o)
2. Find yourself a better woman and create memorable moments with her. (Don't be carried away while doing this sha, women have no guarantee/warranty)
3. Love yourself to the extent that you'd forget ever loving her.

Trust me, you can forget her.

Dualization of Emure-Owo road by Governor Akeredolu. Aketi is working!

I saw this road sometime last year when I travelled to the west, o boy! That road na finished work. I remember a fellow commuter (a lady) from Imo state shouted at a point saying "Chai see road!, make my Governor come see wetin him mate dey do"(paraphrased). She couldn't hold it back to herself.
If Ondo people know what's good for them, they should vote this man in for a 2nd term.

Well said bro.
I was about saying the same thing.

StagethemTVee:
Apologising to an elder but still crossing the legs. A well trained Yoruba son who got carried away with social media hype and western culture. We don't call elders bastards nor insult them. You went too far and i really hope you mean this apology. The ice in the Freezer has been melted. The Freesheeple Daddy has been humbled.

I bet you, he did it on purpose.

You need to see their students and graduates shout "The Lions"
Who would have thought that they are actually "****************"

30naira:
Today, I attended a wedding ceremony. At the reception, the couple tried to maintain social distancing inside the reception hall, so there were limited seats. Most of the guests were in the open field outside. I sat behind two ladies, who should be in their mid or late twenties. I wasn't really paying much attention to them.

After a while, they left their seat and went out. After about 5 minutes two guys came, and sat down in the empty seats the ladies left. These guy are obviously in their early twenties.

About 30 minutes later, the two girls came back inside, I noticed that one of them has had a change of cloths. So obviously they went home and returned.

The girls demanded that the guys should leave the seat, because they got there first. It is their seat. As expected the guys bluntly refused. The girls started raising their voice and cursing. No one really cared to listen to them, the boys were busy consuming the drinks on the table.

One of the ladies got frustrated by the indifference of the boys, grabbed a glass of juice from the table and threw the content at the guy's face. The guy in turn opened the entire can, got up and started pouring it on the girl's head, ruining her make up and soaking her weavon.

Next thing we saw, the girl grabbed him by the collar with both hands, tearing at his skin with her nails. Before you could say Jack, the guy started raining down slaps on her face, she fought back too.

Before we could rush down, the girl had a bleeding nose and a red swollen face.

Now this is the part that particular offended me. Everyone that gathered round started heaping insult on the boy for beating up a girl, despite the fact that she initiated physical contact. Some women even went as far as threatening to arrest the boy. The entire narrative changed quickly. Some stupid men even tried to beat up the boys. I stood my ground and insisted that if anybody lays a finger on the boy, I ll see to it that everybody is kicked out of the reception.

It took the intervention of the officiating minister to calm the crowd. Everyone was insisting that he would pay for the girl's medical bills. Funny thing is that the guy had finger marks all over his neck. She was sobbing and attracting sympathy left and right, as if she was not the one barking like an animal moments earlier. In the end, it was the guys that were kicked out, the girls had the seat.

I get confused about this gender equality stuff, women want to be treated like men and treated differently at the same time. You can't claim equality only when it suits you. If it were two guys fighting, I'm sure they ll both be kicked out and nobody will spare a thought for the injured, there ll be no sobbing or comforting, it ll just be seen as two people disturbing the peace. But everyone is suddenly acting up to protect an equal specie, who is also the offender, and the females see nothing wrong in this inequality

Do you want equality or not?
Personally I respect and treat everyone equally, but if you initiate physical contact, male or female I will retaliate with the same ferocity.

God bless you for standing on the right side.
Women don't know what they want.
They want to be treated equally as a man and at the same time want to be pampered like a girl.

If any lady wants to play feminism with me, I'd gladly support and respect her for that as long as she's ready to bear the consequence.
You should not want to sit with me like a king and at the same time want me to treating you like egg.

The guys might not even know the girls were sitting there before then o. God go save men!

Though my account may seem to be new,but I started following nairaland since 2009.recently I noticed how nairaland has become APCland...During presidential election I noticed a lot of things but I didn't really care because in my opinion Atiku was not better fit to rule Nigeria than buhari,so i just felt both atiku and bubu have got nothing to offer..But on Edo election, I am amazed how negative news about Obaseki quickly make it to front page,while positive one never make it...

Some weeks ago somebody created a thread about the housing project of Obaseki,despite the laudable achievement the thread never make it to front page. Today PDP Flags up their campaign team,still no news like that on the front page(I maybe wrong though).. But we could only see how Obaseki was booed in Oba palace...


To one nairaland,you should be neutral politically.. Even if you have to support a party you must not make it so obvious for all to see.. For this simple reason,I will stop reading any news from nairaland, infact I am done with nairaland....

To the best of my knowledge, Nairaland is not a news agency or media house. Nairaland is a forum.
It is wrong to expect it to be a media house.

I have always said this and will keep saying it;
If they audit the privatization of power sector and the amount of money spent by FG on power sector even after the supposed privatization, Nigerians will be wowed!

A lot of money has been spent to give Nigerians darkness.

Our darkness is the most expensive in the world. It costs our government millions of dollars to serve us darkness.

May God heal our land and give us better leaders.

Canny19:
Thanks everyone. I will update this thread as much I can in a bid to see Canada thru my eyes.
Let's fire on!


My first canny experience happened in the washroom at Toronto Pearson International Airport. I was waiting for my last leg at the airport, I felt pressed so I made my way to the washroom. I went in with my sanitizer with the hope of Sanitizing the toilet bowl before sitting on it. I got in there and realized that it was my sanitizer that needed to be sanitized by the toilet bowl cos it was looking cleaner than crystals. As if that wasn't enough, I finished the doings, stood up and the toilet flushed automatically ... Like really... Who asked you? I wasn't sure how it knew I was done .. That's how I used the next 5 minutes looking for the sensor on the toilet bowl o. Finally found it and I decided to trick it by running my palm over the censor and the toilet flushed again.... That's how I won the cold war between myself and the toilet bowl in the washroom o. This Canada ehn.... I must explore

I will like to meet you some day soon @Canny19
You are such a vibe!.
A Very funny man.
"Who asked you?"

Canny19:
The last leg to Edmonton was rough, the turbulence was much. I began ti wonder what was happening. Even the longer flights from cotonou to Addis then from Addis to Toronto didn't suffer a turbulence this much. The cute lady beside me slept for the better part of the journey while I was finding it hard to sleep. I was calm tho cos I got TCC (travel clearance certificate) from my village ppl and they already promised not to follow me to Canada. So I had nothing to worry about.

Landed in Edmonton and saw that one of my checked in bags was ripped. I wasn't surprised tho cos the bag had a whole lot of orisirisi and panti foodstuffs.
Stepped out of the airport and was greeted with cold but I decided not to use my jacket, I got shocked when my host came wearing armless and said the weather was warm... Ki lo warm exactly? Are you people playing me ni? It was at that moment I started dreading winter. As I type this, my jacket is on while people are wearing pants n bra outside my window ��

I'm settling in quite well even tho I'm still in shock how 10pm can be looking like 4pm and 5am be looking like 9am. There's no way one can predict the time by looking outside in this country.

It's time to start 'living life' as opposed to just 'merely existing' in Nigeria

I'm finally HOME. 10/7/20
Home is where an average person can afford 3 square meals per day. Home is where security is well guaranteed. Home is where there is no huge discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Home is where our resources and funds are not being embezzled by our corrupt leaders . Home is where there are job provisions for graduates. HOME is where there is HOPE!! Home is, home is, home is, home is.................. CANADA
Have a dream and work towards making it a reality.

NB. I wrote IELTS twice just because I don't like to proofread so pls ignore the plenty errors n typos.

I fell in love with you already.
You are a good writer. From "Laccident" to TCC from your village people, bros...You are such a vibe!
Thanks for making me laugh hard.
I wish you all the best in Cannie.
God bless your new HOME

My guy!
More grace to him.

BeuHarry:


The moment you get ITA, your profile will not expire again. If you do not get ITA before the expiry, however, you simply create a new profile. Please leave the profile as it is cos it gives you tie breaker advantage.

Congrats on your IELTS. May the remaining processes be swift for you!

Amen!
Thanks for clearing my doubts. I appreciate.
(You be Confam Elder sir/ma)

Josephhh:
If your present CRS score is close to give you an ITA in the next draw, I'll suggest you just update alone.

Okay. Thanks

Elders please I need your counsel.
IELTS have delayed me thus far, thank God the jinx was broken 2weeks ago.
Here is my situation;
Although my previous IELTS result was not perfect, I opened an EE profile last year September with the hope of using it for PNP applications.(Sadly, none ever worked out, I was there with hope and faith)
To the glory of God, I have aced IELTS now but my profile will expire in September and I am sure by God's grace I would have ITA before then.
My Questions:
1. Should I withdraw the existing application and start a new application?
2. If I proceed with the current profile (which I have now updated), will the account expiration affect my application when I am now in the whole documentation process?

Please kindly advise!
Thanks in anticipation.

This is good news. Their dues are used for something tangible.
