Isnt this Fraud?

omlueh:
One of the best President America has ever Produced, taken back Jerusalem to the Israeli, and dealing with all the Arab Terrorist, Kudos to you Mr President

Do you even know the difference between the Jews and the Zionist?
Do you even know the history of the country called Israel today?
Do you know why the name Israel was chosen for the country?
Do you understand that Jews are not Christians?

If you are not able to answer any of those questions, your time might be better spent educating yourself before coming on the internet to make noise about what you know nothing about.

Hi People,

Is it true that payment made for Medical is not refundable even if you cancel well in advance?

I hope someone can confirm if this is the case.

Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have been delayed by the VO.
I applied to Mount Saint Vincent University to study Master of Art In Child & Youth Study for Winter 2020.

Applied on 10th of October
Did Biometrics on 14th of October
Biometrics Completed on 15th of October
Received validity of biometric information yesterday 6th of October
Refusal dropped today.


Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit
application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet
the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of
residence.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your current employment situation.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can
demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be
accompanied by a new processing fee.


Please the gurus in the house in the person of;
Frankrobbn1, NaijaForeigner, JustMellow, Qudkom, and others not mentioned, kindly advise me.

Seems you have family members in Canada and not much in Nigeria? This looks like you have stronger ties in Canada than in Nigeria.

Also the second paragraph is talking about your employment situation, are you currently employed? Perhaps you need to show proof of employability at the end of your course.

Just my 2 cent, I ll let the gurus give their opinions.

Whats the general consensus on using Laminate wood flooring in Nigeria? I am curious as to any pros and cons from you experts.

Any one.

Whats the general consensus on using Laminate wood flooring in Nigeria? I am curious as to any pros and cons from you experts.

The issue with the Igbos is that they actively encourage getting rich all means necessary end of story. either they accept it or not.

Look at Ibori convicted criminal in uk UK, came to be governor and then convicted of crime again yet the delta people will still put him forward as their candidate for presidency.

How can a tribe collectively have no shame?

This is what the Igbos stand for which is just wrong on so many levels.... I ll leave this below, enough said! While there are criminals from other tribes as well, but the Igbos are the only ones who actively support any means to get rich, Kidnapping, Fake drugs, Fake medicine, Fake currency, Money Rituals etc.

What everyone who has posted in this thread has done is to explain or justify why this exist. Man always find an explanation for things we do not understand, Allah has given us science to help us understand and justify these things. Allah SWT does not need to explain things to us, he has given us the brain and ability to try and understand HIS words.

This thread is mostly full of morons. Unease lies the head that wears the crown, only a Pdp idiot will jubilate over winning the presidential election.

Time to rid Abuja of all the thieves waiting for a continuation of the looting and plundering.

Thank God. Common sense prevailed. Proud to be Nigerian. Voting "an established thief" over a "stingy General" would have confirmed to the world that we are a fraudulent country.

Congratulations to all who worked so hard for this victory

Hi guys,

I've just received a refusal message. I applied through paper route on 21/10/2018 and I received the refusal message this morning. The reasons for my refusal are:
1. Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation, I am not satisfied that
you:
i. have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to pay the tuition fees
for the course or program of studies that you intend to pursue.
2. You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay. In reaching this
decision, I considered several factors, including:
i. immigration status in country of residence.
ii. purpose of visit
iii. employment prospects in country of residence.

But my application was supported with the following documents, in relation to these refusal reasons

1. I made a part payment of $19,300 towards my tuition fees out of $25,700 for the two years Msc program and receipts attached
2. My sponsor's (father in-law) bank account statement with a closing balance of N4.5m after making the part payment
3. My account statement with a closing balance of N2.2m (Nigeria account statement)
4. My recent employment offer letters (5), both the ones I accepted and those declined. This was to show employment prospect.
5. My employment visa in country of residence.
6. My six(6) months bank statement in country of residence, and
7. Letter from my employer

These were added to other documents to support the application. I am a bit confused on what next to do in order to address the VO's concerns.
The program is starting by January and I need to reapply ASAP.

Please help.

Sorry to hear about your refusal.

You mentioned you made a hefty payment out of the tution and I see you have not mentioned anything about sustaining yourself during the 2 years, what is the cost of accommodation and feeding for the 2 years? I want to believe that is exclusive of the $25k you mentioned earlier, can you please explain what documentation you have provided and the projected cost of aside of tution for the 2 years?

KanwuliaMama:
PDP assets!

You meant proceeds of our commonwealth meant for our children?

It will never cease to amaze me how intellectually bankrupt the average Nigerian youth is, so sad that a Nigeria as dirty as Atiku could be the best candidate the PDP can present.

I weep not for Nigerians anymore, you lot deserves whatever comes your way.

Are these columns made from a prefabricated mold or normal wooden stuff put together by the carpenter? Also loving the arc window.

KolaShangOne:
Yes. Stand alone is stronger.

Do robbers still access their target buildings through the windows anymore? I mean the window could potentially save the lives of the occupant one of these days, so building a fortress might come back to bite person the back.

I believe the inbuilt should be sufficient.

That's just my opinion though

The kind of engineer that will build something that will collapse with the first rain.

Don't forget that in any building site in Nigeria, everyone is an engineer.

Its a shame, this is where the engineering society of Nigeria need to step in. Seek to criminalise anyone who is not qualified to be an engineer and send out the appropriate task forces to enforce it. Its not rocket science.
Enforcement will always be the issue with egunje

Rubbiish:
Advantage
*Saves cost ( if it is a duplex or high rise structure)
*Saves space

Disadvantage
*Low pressure for water supply
*Requires periodic maintenance to control water spillage on slab & walls

Sorry for bring this up again, I have always been curious about this, for me erecting a steel or concrete structure purposely for the tank is unsightly and I hate the idea with a passion.

I am starting a project soon and I plan on placing the tank on a slab above the bathroom, all designed into the building from scratch. The tank itself will have a 2 way safety valve and if an overflow occurs, the run off water will be directed into a concealed gutter etc.

I cannot over emphasize how much I hate to see standalone Water storage structures.

if properly designed from the start, i don't see any issue in adopting the bedroom on the ground floor for your own use in the future.

The key for me in any design is the ability to make changes in the future, I like flexible designs not too rigid for a specific purpose while being fully functional.

GoodFaith:
make a smart move
create a master bedroom downstairs. If you don't use it today
It will be there for you to use at your old age
Age is a bitch and good
we all pray to get old

if properly designed from the start, i don't see any issue in adopting the bedroom on the ground floor for your own use in the future.

ThatHistoryGuy:
Hi sir
Its epic_ceramics here
Vitrified tiles is the best for floor tiles cus the same colour at the surface penetrates through the entire thickness of the tile,so no matter the traffic at the area it remains for a long time. Most banks use vitrified tiles .

On braking the bank
It all depends on who you buy from and the places you want use them for. Its quite affordable here in Lagos.
There are vitrified tile in Nigerian,China and Spanish products .

My Advice: If you are buying enough tiles you can come to Lagos or let us deliver them to you in Ibadan. I believe it would be cheaper that way.

Below is a sample of Spanish vitrified tile

Thanks for this, forget about buying in IB for a sec, if buying from Lagos, what are the price ranges per Sq/m etc. or per carton and what is the coverage from a carton . cheers

Any advise on Floor tiles, Is Vitrify good enough without breaking the bank? Any reliable suppliers in Ibadan?

Thanks in advance.

AngelicBeing:
l disagree with you, l am a DIY advocate, I will construct a 25 story building with bamboo, do conduit wiring myself, I will do the tiles, plumbing, screeding, landscaping myself, I will do the roofing myself, we have YouTube video online to guide me, l will not pay any artisan on my site to do any work, I want to save money and I don't want any artisan to eat my money, after completing the house, l will invite Daboomb, spyder880, Abdulwastecx and every member of property section on Nairaland to come and celebrate with me for been the first man on earth to construct a 25 story floor via bamboo technology and without inviting any artisan to my site

Ermmm I think you got what the original poster said wrong.

He's merely pointing out that if you got some "paid" help in the actual act or carrying out the work done then he's suggesting its not entirely DIY except that definition fits the description of Doing it yourself in the Nigerian Context.

But what Nigerians general mean when they are talking about DIY is buying the materials themselves and employing some local people giving them instructions of what you need them to do rather than calling them to quote and carry out a job for you.

My 2 pence.

Hello Gurus in the house, I recently embark on building a home, can anyone recommend an app on iOS that can aptly track every spending on the project . Thanks, anticipating your reply.

App or not it will probably take you the same effort to input your data.

Why not use a spreadsheet with some simple formula. You can use google sheets which is accessible on all platforms. Plus easy for you to access if you lose your phone, plus you can export the data.

That's what i use and i recommend.

Pictures please.

Noob's question re:POP , Can these POP guys recreate any designs or they only do some which they are used to?

spyder880:
My Oga, I tire o. N60 m?

This is Hilarious as Heck!

I ll ship one in from Australian Fly in the team to build it sef and still have 30M left over.. Am all for affordable housing but @ 60 for a container. The Oyinbo guy can F himself and the container for all I care.

EgunMogaji:
As for me, individual water heaters are a waste unless they are tankless and even those can be argued against the necessity. For my apartment garage there is no water heater, it's not necessary. The courtyard bungalow will indeed have a water heater but it will be a central one that will only be piped to the 3 restrooms.

I salute you for thinking about alternatives. I find a lot of people just do follow follow without trying to decide what works best for them.

I like the practicality and sentiments in your your post when necessary, mostly punctuated with the line that what works for you may not work for anyone else.

EgunMogaji:
In regards to understairs space.

It is a very useful real estate that can be used for a variety of things such as restroom, storage, media center.

The space can be made light and airy with passive methods. Easily.

For air exchange, a regular or solar powered whirlybird can be used. For light, depending on the location of the stairs especially if it's next to an exterior wall, a light tube will provide light during the day.

Building technology is out there to be used. They've designed and manufactured it, now it's up to us to integrate it. Let's stop limiting ourselves.

I am kind of a DIY person myself and I have quite some tools and I am a Gadget/Media freak, I currently use a similar storage in my current abode for multiple purposes e.g. Printer room, Media Server room, switch and my networking kits.

Yes I totally agree with no limiting our scope, hence everything has to been though of right from the design stage.

Can anyone practically say the amount of Hot water that is used on a daily basis in a typical Nigerian household?

For example do people typically require hot water for bathing daily or for cooking etc. reason for my question is I see a lot of houses installed water heater in each bathroom but hardly get a chance to use these due to lack of electricity or these were not installed properly from the start and hence its just an expensive decor for the bathroom.

Personally I don't think we make use of hot water so much as to warrant a dedicated heater for each bathroom. I am looking a installing Evacuated solar tubes to get free heating from the sun rather than using electricity for heating, on the flip side if the electricity is readily available, it might not be such a bad idea as the boiling will be on an adhoc basis.

I would ideally want to know if I want to implement Solar heating Tubes as this will determine the type of roof design, I will definitely be using solar for all the lighting at the minimum.

bixton:
If you do your staircase well you can use the space underneath it at the ground floor level.
Goodluck

Oh absolutely! I have noticed a lot of house in Nigeria do not make provision for storage aside of the store room attached to the Kitchen/Pantry.

Using the space under the stairs is very important for me also like a walk in storage.

Thanks for pointing that out too.

bixton:
For the first floor, you can switch the the master room to the private living room on the right section.
Attached pix is for ground floor.

Many thanks for taking the time to attach this sketch, that's some sound advice there. will take this on board also. Will update this thread.

Cheers.

Aventures:
Nice concept and good use of space. second thing I appreciate about the design is cost effectiveness (less partitions), good ample spaces around the compound. But I agree with Egunmogaji on the direct exposure of TV to the living room. Lastly the upper floor of the unit on the right has a tight lobby, poor ventilation, poor lighting, no private living. I will suggest reduction of the rooms to 3 and used the beveled portion as family private living. Best wishes.

Thanks for the observation, That was incorrectly labelled, I have added the second upper floor design showing that beveled portion as a private living area. So you observed correctly.

Thanks for the observation.

So it fair to assume not much rework is required once the VT issue addressed.

EgunMogaji:
Apart from the VT and the ensuite stuff it actually is a good use of space but I'm no architect.

I will never build an ensuite property even when I start doing commercial stuff. Only the master should have an ensuite. The kids need's to learn how to cohabitate to prepare themselves for college dorms.

I agree on all counts. I have always insisted the kids pair up in each room, lucky for me I have 2 of each sex, so very easy to split, my eldest daugther has been moaning she wants her own room, and I always laugh at her like Omo yi o mo nkan kan.

I always tell her, when you get a job then you can buy/build your own house and then you can have your own room, however long that takes, heck.

I have asked for the whole plan to me made a little bit more compact, getting rid of the VT on the other side as well. I want the external space to be a big as possible without detrimentally affecting the functionality of the interior spaces, will make use of cantilever on the upper floors.

Will make them 4 bedroom tops on each side and leave the toilet as one to be shared downstairs.

EgunMogaji:
I think Nigerians don't make visitors toilet private enough. I have an issue with the VT on the unit of the left.

If it were my house and in such tight space, I would simply combine the visitor's toilet with the one for the guest bedroom. What are the odds that a guest and a visitor will need to use the same space at the same time.

These are the types of logic that I applied to my build. It makes sense to the way I entertain but might not make sense to yours. My opinion is worth what you paid for it.

I agree with you, infact this is the fairer of 2 potential designs. I currently reside outside Nigeria and that Visitor's toilet is a no no for me as well.

I totally agree with you on having just one to serve the bedroom downstairs at the same time. Infact I personally do not like the idea of en suite bedrooms, its just a waste of resources but apparently its the way things are done in Nigeria. The only reason I agree to the en suite toilet and bath in the upper floor is just on the likelihood this property will be up for sale after some times and in order to appeal to potential future buyers.

So yes I agree with you totally, It makes no sense to have the toilet in full view of the living.

Bar the toilet, any other issues you can identify.
