SmileDance:
you can assist her first with the sewing machine, that is if the op has been confirmed to be real. Since she passed her waec exam, someone here suggested noun, and also if it is possible to help the op himself get a better job.

I intend to first and foremost get her a sewing machine and then think of something for both her and the mother.

I’ll wait for @amdman’s checks and for those willing to assist, we can collabo so that it’ll be more effective.

SOLUTION

I have engaged OP and I am currently working to confirm the veracity of his story. This should be completed by next weekend. Once confirmed, the plan is to do any of the following:

1. Full-ride scholarship (tuition and living expenses) to any public university in Nigeria (including cost of preparing for JAMB etc) - the condition for this is that she must be able to get admission on merit.

2. Alternatively, sponsored training in a structured fashion school in Lagos, including cost of sewing machine, transportation and stipend for one year.

It will be nice to collaborate with @Gaby, @Dawoyo and everyone else that would like to pitch in.

Okay… I’m game

[quote author=VoidLife7 post=120910660][/quote]I would love to assist; however, I’m still confused on how. I don’t mind if there’s anyone here willing so we could think of the best ways to assist.

I’m open to ideas…

Meanwhile, please send me a DM @VoidLife7

No, just some old newspaper report on the matter from the 1990's i recall reading.

Also, the Southern cameroonian reason for leaving was to 'avoid tribalisim in Nigeria (First republic politics could be very messy). See the wikipedia article on Southern cameroons, for more detalis.

Thank you

backbencher:
Not going to happen. Them Southern cammeroonians made their bed, and they get to lie in it.

Back in the 1950's and early 60's before the UN sponsored plebiscite, Nigerian leaders from all parts of the country begged them to stay in Nigeria. Did they listen? No. So, let them remain where they are, shebi they thought it would be like Canada....

Do you have a reference (online link) for this? I’d love to read up on it please.

NewDawn2O21:
before he traveled to Canada he should have made enquiries to know the cost of living in Canada.
That's exactly what I did and when I realized the cost of living there is high I dropped the plans

I don't have anything against you, your offer only reminds me of one similar Alalubosa lady that started devoultedly here, along the line, when she started receiving millions of naira to shop onions and the rest from d north for people, she vanished into thin air till today.
You registered ur handle on 18th, same day you wanted people to commit their money into your hand to shop for them.
Why can't you build a strong relationship first on these forum with this your new handle before becoming an errand lady?
Better still your old handle should have been better for you to advertise yourself as it will be easier for your intending clients to dig into your past, to know if you are real or not.
Like I said, I have nothing against you but this is not the best way to lunch yourself.

While I understand where you are coming from, I have used the services of errandsbyphina and I can confirm that they're legit.
I have used their service to source for foodstuffs that was sent to me in Canada.

Also, during the covid-19 lockdown, I wanted to send foodstuffs to my family back home in Nigeria since I didn't want my mother to go out. They were prompt, efficient and the professionalism was on point that I placed multiple orders for my friends and other family members.
By the way, I've been on nairaland since 2006.

Effect Of Temperature On COVID-19: An Unscientific Investigation.

In the early days of the Coronavirus scourge, many Nigerians believed that we wouldn't be affected because of our hot weather. Now that we're testing people, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases, to about 210, which is still quite low for a country with 190 million residents. However many people suspect that the virus has penetrated our society far more deeply than the NCDC statistics suggest. We've noticed that people who travelled to colder countries recently or spend most of their time in air-conditioned spaces, or their direct contacts, are massively over-represented among the confirmed cases. Is this because they are the only ones being tested, or is heat a factor?

Here is the list of the 10 countries that have the highest number of active COVID-19 cases, and their forecasted temperatures for the day:
* USA has 257,790 active cases. The temperature forecast for New York is 8°C - 15°C.
* Italy has 85,388 active cases. The temperature forecast for Rome is 7°C - 25°C.
* Spain has 77,488 active cases. The temperature forecast for Madrid is 6°C - 19°C
* Germany has 65,309 active cases. The temperature forecast for Berlin is 1°C - 12°C
* France has 61,650 active cases. The temperature forecast for Paris is 6°C - 17°C
* UK has 34,428 active cases. The temperature forecast for London is 4°C - 16°C
* Iran has 31,954 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tehran is 8°C - 19°C
* Turkey has 20,012 active cases. The temperature forecast for Istanbul is 8°C - 11°C
* Switzerland has 14,169 active cases. The temperature forecast for Geneva is 3°C - 17°C
* Netherlands has 13,986 active cases. The temperature forecast for Amsterdam is 4°C - 14°C

On average, the top ten countries with Coronavirus have a temperature forecast of 5.5 - 16.5°C. The temperature forecast for Lagos is 26°C - 34°C, and for Abuja, it's 24°C - 36°C. This is a massive, massive difference! The maximum temperature of nine of the countries above is lower than the minimum temperature of Lagos. The maximum temperature of 7 of those countries is lower than the minimum thermostat setting of most Nigerian air-conditioners (18°C).

The countries mentioned above are in Africa, Asia or Europe. What about Africa? Here's our top 5:
* South Africa has 1,401 active cases. The temperature forecast for Johannesburg is 9°C - 15°C.
* Algeria has 1,004 active cases. The temperature forecast for Algiers is 9°C - 17°C.
* Egypt has 703 active cases. The temperature forecast for Cairo is 24°C - 34°C.¹
* Tunisia has 472 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tunis is 8°C - 17°C.
* Burkina Faso has 236 active cases. The temperature forecast for Ouagadougou is 28°C - 43°C. ^1
1 The Egypt data is misleading because the their average temperature last month was 11.6°C to 26°C, but Burkina Faso is a legitimate outlier; the country is much hotter than Nigeria.

The above data, in spite of the outlier, is enough to convince me that the Coronavirus likes cold weather and probably spreads faster in cold places, such as air-conditioned cars, offices, and homes. This, apart from the lack of testing, may explain why we are yet to see as many cases of transmission outside the circles of travellers and the rich and powerful in Nigeria as expected. It is consistent with what we know about other respiratory illnesses, and why countries like the US expect the disease to slow down in their summer season (starting from June).

When I see videos of Lagos officials spraying open areas e.g. roads & sidewalks in Lagos, I have to laugh, because I strongly suspect that, if they actually bothered to test for the presence of the virus on those surfaces, they'd find nothing at all because the sun already sterilized them.

Knowing that the virus hates our hot temperature gives me hope. If a cold country like South Korea (0°C -13°C forecast for today) could beat the virus without destroying their economy by imposing a total lockdown, a constantly hot country like Nigeria could do much better if we used the same tactics. We need to start testing people who have had close contact with confirmed cases before they show symptoms. We also need to enforce universal wearing of face-masks and social distancing everywhere, which in itself may even be sufficient to end the virus.

May your days be bright and hot. May your air-conditioners be off and your windows wide open (to get rid of aerosolized droplets). Cheers.

PS: I always make a lot of mistakes when I post long articles, so if you spot any errors, omissions, or false statements, please correct me.

I don't believe the above is entirely true...

In Calgary, we have 734 confirmed cases and it is colder right now than most of the countries posted above with a temperature of -5 as per the images below.

House, please after conclusion of ECA by WES Canada, how long does it take to get the hard copy in Nigeria using standard option.

Means, I mean number of working days between when sent and when received here.

Davedrix wherever you are and whomever you are. I thank you for making me go through all this mud because I was tryna help. May God give each of us our reward. What's more,I forgive you.

Hello dear, I am deeply saddened you had to go through all that!

I saw the thread today and I was about to transfer 5k to the guy when a thought came to my mind to check the last page of the thread and lo and behold it was discovered he's a scammer.

I do hope what you went through will not deter you from helping others in future?

To all the other nairalanders that doubted you and called you a scam artist, I pray such will never be their portion only if they apologize to you.

Once again, I apologize on everyone's behalf.

You saved her pic? You ppl on this forum are weirdos

If only you were smart enough to check her profile, you wouldn't ask that question.

Please move along, I'm not amongst your type who misbehaves online..

y u remove am na

Bro come on, she's good looking abi nor be she be this?

highpriestess:
If only ladies will start applying some little sense after seeing how you men describe them after begging to sleep with them.
I'm sure you knelt down and promised her heaven and earth so that she can allow you put only the head. I'm sure you also gave her your life savings but the way you will come here to scribble bunkum just to garner some schmuck appraisals from uncouth talibans still amazes me.

Some of you Nigerian men are very much disgusting, immature, loud, lousy.
Geese!!!
If girls haven't learnt from the past one year you guys have been ranting and displaying your idiocy on this site, then the said lady is doomed.


You men are the biggest who're one can think of; worst is that you guys do with impunity, but believe me, some women are actually coming out stronger, this whoring thing is the new revolution on the female gender since you guys think is right to body shame women after doing the same thing with them.

Some of you guys have crayon dicks, sagged balls, the hole on the tip of your dick is so wide than the express way due to excessive cum, 1 minute men, very smelly putrid balls, but ladies hardly say bad about guys when they sleep with you men.

Every man has 53 litres of sperm to produce in his life span, but some of you have used 50l and not even married. Some of you no longer produce thick cum, your cum has become so transparent that it can't even impregnate a woman, cos of used and reused dick.
Let me stop here, but just know that this act of being lousy on social media is pitifully irritating and I believe ladies are so much learning( if only ladies can work their asses out, and stop depending on guys money, and parents stop depending on their daughters getting married to rich in law who would give them everything; something they didn't work for when they were young, then, most ladies will actually see the fact that some of you loud and uncouth men have little or no input)

Ps: my comment is for the loud and ill mannered men like this guy, I believe there are much mature men out there.

Well put!

lilmax:
you're hurting babe

Irrespective of the motive behind that writeup, I believe what she said calls for sober reflection.

It's imperative guys stop kiss & tell.

Enter the xiaomi thread and see people paying charges of 7k on 45k phone.

I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with the Mi Band but was charged 2k for customs. You guys should inform the seller to quote low value and watch as the charges drops.

Limitless72:
Bro how did you pull the 'financial aid' through....i need your guidance on this...
I can't see the financial aid.. It's not reflecting on my own page.... Probably I'm not doing the right thing or perhaps because I used my phone

Limitless72:
Bro Whr did you click to apply for the financial aid... It's been an herculean task for me....
Abeg reply me.... I need it

Check the link for the information. It's currently on page 2

omodave:
Wow...
What kind of course will you advice for a mechanical engineer to undergo ..thanks

There are lots of courses available.

I believe you should choose a course based on your goal. If you want to become a better manager, a data scientist, a web developer or an android developer etc. they have you covered.

Kindly browse through their catalog to make your choice.

eleojo23:
Very true.
Online learning is not as easy as people think.
One needs a lot of self-motivation to pull through

True bro!

Personally, I have over 31 verified certificates from them and I can confirm that it was no easy task.

My advise to people is not to abuse the financial aid privelege.

You all need to understand that some of the courses are tasking (data & time). I did a specialization, Leading with Sense with HEC Paris and the courses required Skype video calls with other students.

Some of the courses also require you do a peer review assignment which are actually quite simple since they are being graded by your peers.

The ish here is to ensure you have the time to complete any course before embarking on it.

sylvez:
Do they offer management courses

Yes

sirevee:
I'd appreciate it sir and please do mention me

You can't get the aid through the app as the option isn't there. Goto the webpage, browse to your course of choice & you will see apply for financial aid.

To get funding, you will have to apply and prove that paying the fees will make you poorer.

Morwendy:
Hi. New here but have read threads for years til now and I just have a simple question to ask . Ok, I know how dim I sound but I married my Nigerian husband 8 years ago. Next week, we apply for his permanent leave to remain here. We've been happy enough since we got married, the usual ups and downs but nothing too serious. Anyway, I found that he has a website advertising a business in Nigeria. Asked him about it and he says yes its his but its not up and running yet (like thats why I was mad at him rather than because he set ghis up without even telling me). I was looking at some photos on his site and I came across a poster laying out the days events for his fathers funeral. At the foot of the poster it says 'by [his name but different surname] on behalf of the family. Now, this new surname is the same as his fathers so I believe it to be his true name. Asked him about it and he says that his surname is different to the rest of his family because he chose to take his paternal grandfathers name. I assume his father should also bear the grandfathers name? He just keeps telling me that I don't understand Nigerian customs/traditions but now the word 'scammed' keeps popping into my head. A simple yes or no would be enough - is it usual for a man to NOT take his fathers name? Thanks in advance.

The surname is no big deal. My elder sister uses my father's name as her surname. The rest of us siblings use our grandfather's.
