The issue now is Adedward doesn't need the missing materials to continue the work. What he needs to continue is the glass for the windows, so he can at least install the panel he has coulpled.Which he said he won't bring until I buy his tools back. Meanwhile we are trying to raise funds for the missing materials.

Meanwhile we are offering to rent tools for him to complete the job. He has refused.

Why should you say you will rent tools for him? You are after him completing your job and not showing remorse or plan on replacing his missing tools, knowing fully well you advised him to keep his tools on your site against his wish.

How do you expect an artisan to feed himself and his family without a WORKING TOOL? Have you showed any concern on how he has been surviving since his tools got missing from your site? How do you expect him to execute jobs given to him from other Clients?

I read one of your posts where you claimed his generator was at the end of its Lifespan, is that what a reasonable person should argue on?

What if he has no access to source for another working tool?

Please, let us show empathy!!!

Fix or replace his tools and then come back to Nairaland to report him if he doesn't complete the job given to him.

You just don't come here and label innocent people as scammers!!!

My 1st local flight was from Lagos-Port Harcourt. I have had so many local flights since then....
My 1st international flight was Lagos - Edmonton.

jedisco:
Hehe... you call 7 days 'just'? What would you then consider a good delay... 6 months?
Perhaps, the roommate may have seen the signs and sensed that this would be an unending occurrence.

Hope he gets a place soon.

Exactly the roommate had seen the signs, and the signs were glaring the guy came to Canada without any funds!! Possibly a doctored POF.

walenden:
But some people heartless in Canada. My brother was supposed to pay rent by June 30, and we're still trying to arrange the money to send to him as he's not working yet. Yesterday, July 7, his roommate threw him out and rented the room to another person who will move in the next day, in a shared bedroom... just a 7-day rent delay. That's terrible!!

The guy even tried for 7 days!!

Don't you know that late payment attracts an additional fee from Landlords here, you guys won't cease to amaze me LOL.

IS IT NORMAL TO GET SECOND MEDICAL ASSESSMENT BY IRCC?

Hello everyone,
My brother did an upfront medicals two weeks ago at IOM for his study permit application. Just today he got a mail that IRCC returned his medical result and that a second assessment is needed. This is quite uncommon…
We sent mail to IOM, and after few hours they replied with the attached message ( that a syphilis test needs to be repeated)
He is just scared

Anyone had such issue before?

Your brother or it is you LOL?

LOL

I want you to tell me what will 130k do for you in today's economy?

What business have you established and how big has it grown?

Hi everyone, what is the process of sending one's passport to VFS for stamping after Visa application approval?

The applicant had his Biometric done on Jan 3rd, 2024!!

Congratulations to him. This is an opportunity for him to start learning through the ropes before he takes up any National or International assignment!!

funkyy598:
which type visa ,can you educate us more ??

With a budget of 10 million Naira (approximately 9,000 CAD), unless you are coming to Canada with Express Entry or a Provincial Nomination as a Permanent Resident, your options are limited to a visitor visa. Securing a visitor visa is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high number of asylum seekers who misuse it. A visitor visa provides limited opportunities in Canada, aside from the possibility of claiming asylum. Acquiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for a work visa is both challenging and expensive . It's important to note that while the number of asylum claims is on the rise, the majority are likely to be rejected, resulting in deportation orders. Many Nigerians with unsuccessful asylum claims choose to keep their struggles private, but it's crucial to understand that seeking asylum is not a simple path. The refusal rate for asylum claims is climbing, as the system often views them as fraudulent and a burden on the Canadian government, which could influence the upcoming election. Even with a work permit, finding employment in Canada can be difficult. Only a few asylum seekers manage to find full-time employment, and when claims are unsuccessful, the appeal process is not only expensive but also offers no certainty of a favourable outcome. With reforms on the horizon, the appeal process is expected to become even more stringent. It would be unfortunate to invest 10 million Naira only to be faced with deportation proceedings two years later. Therefore, it is advisable not to pay any agent to process your visitor visa, as the current refusal rate is very high. Exercise caution and plan your steps carefully.

Coming to Canada on visitor visa to stay is a huge gambling that could go wrong AND if anybody guarantee you success in asylum or say otherwise it just a scam and misinformation !

You can use either Air France, KLM or Lufthansa.

DemmyDD:
bro check d previous post and see d reason there. Stop saying what u dont know

Your previous posts say FRAUDULENT BANK STATEMENT.

Was it not the same guess I made prior to checking previous posts?

tensazangetsu20:
I thought only those in the UK were seeing shege. it seems Canada is worse off.

The economy is no longer the way it's used to be due to the influx immigrants mostly Students and SOWP but not as bad as what we have in Nigeria.

Few years ago in Canada, you can get up to 5 different jobs few weeks upon landing and start guessing which offer to accept.

Back then, I got a job in an American MNC FMCG even before landing, just 1 interview on MS Teams and I got the Offer.

Why were you banned please

Do you think he will mention it here? Most of them get banned due to the use of fraudulent documents!

His younger brother was also shot dead in an apartment complex around 2019.

pansophist:
Importation gone wrong lol

If any woman can do this to any man, especially a forty-something-year-old man, then he probably is not very bright.

Living in the west has its own set of rules. Understand the law, and work with it. Always bring your wife abroad if you have to, but make sure you have downloaded marital penal codes and read it like a bible, so you understand how your case would be accessed if divorce happens.

If you are riding a car, you wear a seatbelt even if you won't get an accident, it's the same thing with marriage, you prepare for the worst.

It is extremely foolish to enter a union where a person who breaks that union is rewarded when it could be avoided if you just understand how the law works.

There are many ways a woman won't get even 1 kobo if she divorced a billionaire. In fact, it is her money that would be shared between the billionaire and her. Knowledge is power.

Well said.

Please, share the knowledge with us!!

I hope you don't mean PRENUP?

If there's anyone in Calgary who can assist, I will greatly appreciate that.Thanks

An apartment will be available for a month in September, hit me up if you need it.

When will Pocohantas carry her own placard on the street of Lagos

IbeOkehie:
Wrong, it's all the same. In any case, the Anglo people are the least racist on earth. Black Africans are more racist. As an Igbo I'm in more danger from other Nigerians than any Anglo White person.



Easy to thump chest online. If you don't fear anyone ESPECIALLY in the workplace, you wouldn't be anonymous on Nairaland. The ONLY reason you get away with hostility against Whites is because they're very tolerant and have actually become very diffident in the face of sustained left-wing propaganda. In Nigeria, you can't get away with it if you're from the wrong tribe.

Anyway immigration barriers are going up all across the West. Let's see what happens in the French & USA elections. Very soon everyone will have to answer their name.



Exactly.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Your views are always different here.

Someone like you can act like a slave to the Whites.

You suck, punk head!!

This is the continuation from PUNCH Website.


On our side, we were led through a maize farm to a stream where we were allowed to drink water. By this time, I was weak, and my feet were badly sore, so one guy was asked to support me while we walked. I was given the deceased’s sandals. I had lost my canvas while being taken out of Eltees Farm. We crossed the road around an estate in the bush around Omu and arrived at a local palm oil factory where we rested for a while and moved into a thick forest. We made a camp where we stayed until night, then took a tour of the bush and came back to the camp at dawn. This was the routine until we were released.

How did you end up paying the ransom?

Before my release, negotiations continued with my nephew, Sunday Oladele, who was in contact with them. My co-workers and the whole management team had received instructions not to contact the kidnappers or me again. They were told to let my family handle the negotiation. They threatened my family to make them succumb to their demands.

I instructed my nephew to sell my car and house just to get me out of their clutches. Our chairman, Mr. Lanre Adesanya, gave my wife N1m, and our church pastor, Mr. Samuel Oluwafemi, went to borrow N500,000:00 from a microfinance bank. My nephew negotiated based on the cash at hand, and fortune smiled on us as they agreed to N1.5m each for me and the other captive. On the 3rd of June, Sunday Oladele was supposed to take the money to a particular location, but by midnight, he was still unable to get there. When he called, I told him in our local dialect to go back home and come back the following day.

Why did you ask your nephew to go back home?

So that he wouldn’t be killed, and I might not end up being killed too as it was too late. I couldn’t afford to lose myself, lose my nephew, and the money. So, my nephew communicated with the leader, and they agreed. That night, we didn’t sleep. We were just moving from one point to another. On June 4th, 2023, the ransom was delivered around 2 pm. The milk and malt they collected were shared among them, and they also shared the money, including the phones.

Three of them moved away immediately. At about 3:30 pm, another three, including the replacement of the deceased one, moved. At about 6 pm, when the last team was about to move, they ordered us to stand up, and three of them cocked their rifles and pointed them at us. I raised my hands and begged them to spare our lives. They later burst out in laughter and said we should go. They led us to an oil palm factory and gave us N1,000:00 each for a bike ride.

How did you manage to find your way home?

It took me about 40 minutes to walk from our location to Papa Road. I could hardly move my legs again. I was looking so unkempt and tattered that someone who didn’t know me would have mistaken me for a madman. When I got to the road and was about 2½ kilometers away from Iyana Ofada, only tippers and okadas plied the road. My pleas to them to take me out of the jungle fell on deaf ears, and my co-abductees were nowhere to be found.

They had left me behind. But, as fate would have it, they took the wrong route and had to take a bike towards me again. They picked me up on their way, and we arrived at the junction. The okada rider helped me find another Okada who conveyed me to Owode Egba.

What happened when you got home?

On my way home, I encountered a crowd at the Obafemi Owode police station. Although I was too weak to find out what was going on immediately, I got the report from my nephew (Sunday Oladele) the following day. While he was returning from the meeting point with the kidnappers, a set of local vigilantes who must have suspected something accosted them. When questions about their suspicious movement were raised, he narrated the whole story to them and told them that the criminals were about to leave the location as they were speaking. The locals mounted a roadblock, and fortunately, one of the kidnappers ran into them on a bike. He saw and recognised my nephew and instructed the bike rider to speed off to escape the local security men. The bike fell into a ditch, and the rider lost control, hitting an electric pole, and the passenger hit his head against the pole and eventually lost his life while being taken to the police station.

What are you thankful to God for?

I am grateful to God that my life was spared after the ransom was paid. I have heard stories of how people died even after ransoms were paid for them. It was a sad experience; I spent some days in the hospital, and now my right leg is still not completely healed. I resigned from work to be able to take care of my health and I am still recuperating.

pansophist:
For those who don't understand what the OP is saying, let me put in another way.

There is racial hierarchy the world is built upon, and most Africans who haven't left Africa don't know about it. Ngozi Chimamanda spoke about being aware she is black after she left Nigeria. She never knew it was a thing.

You might not know about it, but the world will show you where they think you belong, and it can be dehumanizing if you don't know how to navigate these terrains.

It's like how a bank manager may single out a millionaire standing in the queue, even if you all are customers. Or in a church, the big boys hang out with themselves, forming cliques.

You never thought your poverty could be used against you, after all, you didn't bother anyone with it. it's the same for race. I am black, but I didn't trouble you with my blackness, so why this treatment?

The best way to navigate such a scenario is not to play. You can only lose if you play. Just be in the group if you have to be there, but be mute, don't view their comments, mute the chat, and only respond and reply where it is NECESSARY.

Don't exit the group, to avoid giving a wrong impression, but you need to operate overtly since they are also operating overtly. You act like you don't know their game, and when they hope to catch and beat you somewhere, you are not there.

But make sure you are good at whatever you do, your competence is your redemption. Let them feel superior, or disenfranchise you from whatever, but when they are done operating in deceit, they will know deep down that you are good, and them no reach.

Well said!

Though, I won’t agree with the 3rd to the last paragraph to keep mute in a group.

I feel you should always contribute so you can be heard of. One shouldn’t keep mute in a group task. You can even choose to take the Floor and lead as a Moderator if nobody was assigned.

Your last paragraph says it all, be competent in what you do. They can’t beat you at what you know.

Cousin9999:
Bro, I would love to see the look on their faces when you step to them.

Hahahaha

Oyinbo dey always keep shut without uttering a single word!!

Nah inferior complex dey kill African guys, nobody is inferior regardless of the colour of your skin.

Great thread, this happens a lot in the West.

For some like me who is bold and outspoken because I fear nobody except God, my parents and a man with a GUN lol, you bring the racism bias to my doorstep especially in the Workplace. I immediately give you a stern warning straight up and give you reasons why you should not throw shit to me. I do make them understand I don’t belong to the categories of other Africans like the (Somalians and Ethiopians) as they often treat them like a piece of shit.

This method has worked for me as they tend to be very scared, they later choose to be friends and accord me respect thereafter.

I do advise my African brothers to be confident of themselves, be outspoken and they should always exercise their right no matter what!
