Will she die before me too?

My brother you aren't alone on this. Your wife will even tell you to credit her account �� before she will let u do.
The solution is to go for side chick if you have the financial means else you have to be kneeling down and begging your wife anytime conji hold you.

... Marriage is not a child's play..

I once face voluntarily forced deportation way back. To be honest is not something you will wish for ur enemy.
What I did then was to rediscover my inner self and learn to live life for myself forgetting what people will have to say about me. . After one year I bounced back more than the state I was before and the rest is history.

I don’t know why I born in to this evil country!

I have 2.1 in Ghana , did masters in U.S, doing PhD ( though I don abandon am for now ). But what's putting food on my table is the Skills I learn. Digital marketing, graphic design,Web- development and social media marketing as well as cyber security etc. There is no week I don't get job.

What am trying to say is, keep your 2.1 for now and face reality. Skills matter now. All the best.

Am a self-taught Python programmer(UDEMY, YouTube), learning has been hard cause of so many distractions. My parents ain't understanding, They think I am wasting my time on my laptop. So many distracting errands, and it's limiting my learning.

So I plan on going to a training center to learn to code and also due to the erroneous belief that my Parents possess that I have must a "certificate" in what ever I am doing...

I call on nairaland Elders to recommend a good computer ICT training center and maybe some career advice.

Appears to be Covid related. Sad.

Anyone taking a patient to a hospital in Nigeria in an emergency should be ready to take hell along with him or her. If not, these medics will just allow your loved one die for nothing.

The situation in Nigeria today has so badly affected our humanity that an average Nigerian can watch a fellow human being die and do nothing about it even when he/she can help.

You are hearing this because it is Mailafia. There are many who die daily in similar circumstances.

Doctor wen dey think of how him go take japa go canada, america or saudi, na im you dey depend to care for your person. Na dai you dey.

True talk...

Just last week here, I rushed an uncle to hospital in Abuja on emergency . On getting there we where told to take card first. When I raised voice they rushed and take him on stretcher to emergency.
He was lying there struggling to breath and unattended to for more than 1 hour. When I asked the doctor whats happening, all he said was they are doing documentation. Documenting what? I asked ! but was ignored. To cut the story short, when they finally agreed to admit him it was two late as he passed away.

Nigeria is finished..

I don't even pray for my enemies to even returned to Nigeria. Still regreting after 7 years.

Atleast they should boil the water first na. Haba..

OmoBendel24:
At what point does your stupid documentation come in, in a B1/B2 visa application, you thieving individual? You can carry your wares elsewhere, definitely not on this thread, we will surely frustrate you out of here on this, take that to the bank!

Na poverty dey do u.

overlord77:
Bro, we ain't kids here so please stop. Firstly,you marketed yourself by saying you documented for a couple without travel history and they got it.

Then you proceeded to advise that the poster contacted an expert in documentation, simply put, an agent to falsify documents etc. Its things like this that has earned Nigeria and Nigerians the notoriety across the globe. Y'all should please stop for the sake of all unborn kids. We are begging

Sorry I won't be part of ur frustration this year. Someone said what he should do and I told him is that marketing? Firstly there are visa expert or consultant that guild people and it's a profession. Stop talking trash.

fkj950ax:
Marketing 202 for Agent services. I saw it too and just sighed.

Meet an expert is diff from meet me. Read it carefully . Afterall he needed advice.

seyewest:
Can you just imagine, this is not good for this thread.

Read in between the line before you conclude. Thanks

OmoBendel24:
Seeing you clearly



Oga, which yeye visa documentation are you subtly on about here on this thread?

Someone said he needs advice and I told him to meet an expert in Visa matter. Abi na English confused you?

Mia247:
wow...what can i say..i think its just luck and favour like u said... I dont have plans of staying more than 2-3weeks cos of my business..I'm scared they might not grant me the visa cos i dont have huge sum in my account...I'm yet to apply though..What would u advice I do?

Well the truth is, the rate if denial has increased since 2016 and getting worst now. Sometimes they don't ask for statement of account so u might be lucky on that.
My advice to you is to travel to somewhere first before applying. Last week a senior banker friend of mine with seizable salary was denied cos no travel history.
Then meet an expert in Visa documentation.

Mia247:
wow. I wish I have travel history like you.
So does it mean someone without any travel history can't get a US visa?

You will get but just luck. Let me give you two instance.
A childhood friend of mine came to me to help him process u.s visa. I did all the documentation but he and his wife had no travel history and statement of account wasn't good . He went and got the family visa.
Just after 3 months, Another of my big boss came to me to process his family visa, he also hasn't travel before but this time he is a multi-millionaires with houses in choice area in Abuja, PH and Lagos. His account balance when he went to the embassy was 80million and total 6months was 260million naira but he and his family were denied visa...lol
So you see how difficult it is sometimes. But having good traveling history already give you 50% chance.

Mancala:
Things appear to have come full circle. I may be mistaken, but in the not too distant past, any mention of buying and exporting cars from the US = automatic denial! I wonder what was up with that?

You didn't get where the VO ask to see proof? Look before you appear for interview , they already vet you from your visa application form. Even before they ask me they already knew if I was lying or not. By the way this was in 2011

Ibukunstar:
Merry Christmas in advance people. Please I need help. I finished secondary school education in 2010. Not furthered since then. I run my businesses. I am now married with 3 kids I intend travelling to either Canada or France for study then try to get residency so I can bring in my children please what's d best way to go about it and what are my chances considering how long I have finished secondary school, my age marital status and others. Though I can take any exam to back up this but I don't know where to start please help

You have chance of Visa in Canada or France but what matter will be your financial capability. Canada is a little be strict in recent time but France is a bit relax. However, since you are thinking of bringing your family? Canada will be more suitable.

Parmzhelp:
I don't personally think kids under age 13 should have any form of make-up. Their skin is still tender and fresh, so I don't know exactly what mums try to achieve with making up their kids when they're so young.

Anyway, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, especially mums.

Badddddd.......

Garba Shehu will enter prison in 2024 mark it.

Kill the idiot

When we never fit they produce toothpick?

movingclouds:
Lol, you're very right on that.. But trust me, I would rather do fraud than be a pastor... Being a pastor isn't as easy as people think it is... And when I say fraud, I mean yahooyahoo, no be face to face kinda fraud...

Lol..... Bro na Yahoo Yahoo pass. Pastor is very easy . Just do arrangee miracle ..boom... U don blow.

sharpman1:
Lol. Na your kind person dem dey look for.

Someone that can add value to their economy not someone with the potential to japa.....or someone that wants to visit aunty or uncle or girlfriend that will sponsor their trip.

That's very correct. They hate Liability.

First time I went to America Embassy, I make sure I had enough travelling experience that can confuse any interviewer cos I saw how they finish many of my friends.

VO: Good Morning
Me: Good morning.
VO: passport pls.

Me : Here is is
VO: Why are you traveling to U.S
Me: Holiday and Shopping
VO: where do you work
Me: MD of..... Company , we are into ......... And ......
VO: U said your company ship cars from U.S
Me: Yes.
VO: any Prove?
Me: In my mind I don catch you. I gave her shipments documents worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
VO: have you travelled before ?
Me: In my mind I don catch you again. I said yes and start to name. Switzerland, Germany , UK, Poland, France, Italy, Singapore, Greece, Malaysia, Dubai including African countries. And I told her what I went to do in each country.
VO: paused and look at me for 2 seconds then ask. Why where you in Malaysia again?
Me : To do.......
VO: Took my statement of account and scrutinized it. Went through my visas thoroughly in all my four passports then type for 1 minute.
VO: Are you married?
Me: No but looking for now.
VO: little smile
He gave me white paper and told me to pick my passport up.

Chikena!!

Nigeria as a country is failing gradually as a result of the increased in poverty and high unemployment.
You look at every nook and cranny of Nigeria today you see Churches and Mosque everywhere. Churches in particular is becoming something else with all many of nanes. Hardly you see any plaza or street you won't see a church (es) in it.
My question is, "If there was employment opportunities like countries oversea, will there have been these too many Churches as we see in Nigeria today?

I went to one visa interview and wore shorts Sanders and t- shirt. I met some persons in the hall wearing all manner of dress. Native attires, agbada, suit, just to look decent. I remember sitting down next to two friends and unknowingly to them we are from same language. They were mocking me telling I look irresponsible and am not decent at all in their dialect. I went there first and within 3 minis I was told to pick up my passport in so so so and issued a white paper but these guys got refusal. We met again at the car park and they rushed to me and asked how I manage to get the visa which I reply in their dialect " No be by to dress pass". Lol.... They were stunned.

Xavi2019:
Do lack of travel experience affect someone applying for a study visa?
I'd like to know, please.

Not really , but only on some cases.

@ op you tried but I disagree with this write to some extent.
I have been to 20 visa interview before most embassies started using VFS and I have been denied only twice, also I am a travel consultant so I experienced in this area.

1. No matter how expert you are in application or documentation, there is always a little mistake in one or two area.

2. Dressing doesn't matter at all, the interviewer don't care about how you dressed but that doesn't mean you should do to interview naked. I and my clients have wore some crazy dress to interviews and got the visa.

3. You are nervous or not doesn't concern the interviewer, inshort incase of America embassy if you are too smart or claiming to be smart they will still "knack you Akpako" lol.

With my experience, 80% of why Nigerians don't get visa is
1. fake documents: No matter how smart u think you are on fake documents, the interviewer has seen a lot of that and can tell your sincerity.
2. No enough tie back home here in Nigeria. You must prove that you have many reason to come back if you are granted visa.
3. Lack of travel experience: Number one culprit for visa refusal.

Even if you have all the right documents, have good tie back home, have good travel experience and all that the interviewer can still denied you visa base on quota.

My dear I was in Your shoe and this is how I solved the two situation in our house in Abuja.

1. After two years of none payments by a tenant, I took the matter to court as he refuse to honour all the quit notices. My dear the court process wasn't a joke even at a point I almost gave up, but I was determined move on. After going back and forth with the case, the judgement came after another two years making 4 years in total, and this time the man has left. The judgment was in my favour and I tracked him down, the court pack all his things and I got even times 2 of the money. But patient is key in court process.
2. Another tenant did similar thing but this time I wasn't ready to go through the long process again. After exhausting all the notice option, and owners intention to recover property, I wrote them final letter that I am doing renovation starting from there apt still they didn't move. So one morning I took hammer and tools and removed their windows, call carpenter to start with their roof. They called police and arrested me, but to cut the story short. I was instructed to fixed everything back and they made the man sign undertaking when he will move for me to start the renovation. So I won at the end cos he left base on that undertaking.
My dear we all have different ways of handling matters cos Tenants right is even as big as the landlord. Peace and love.

WAECMATHEMATICS:
Good day all.

Please, I need your advice on one wicked stubborn tenant. My family gave this our tenant a quick notice since February this year 2019. As a matter of fact, the tenant and our family went to Lagos Arbitration and Mediation Centre. It was at the Mediation Centre that we both reached an agreement that he should leave our apartment.

So, we gave him 6 months quit notice in February, 2019. His previous house rent elapsed that same February, 2019. So, for the 6 months quit notice we gave him, he didn't pay any money. He actually said he would need 6 months to search for another apartment at that meeting we had with him at the Mediation Centre in February. So, we gave him the 6 months for free.

The 6 months we gave him elapsed at the end of August, 2019. When the 6 months elapsed, he refused to vacate the apartment. So, my family went back to the Lagos Mediation Centre to complain. The Mediation Centre sent him (the tenant) a letter giving him 7 days ultimatum to vacate the apartment. At the end of the 7 days, this man refused to leave. My family complained again to the Mediation Centre and they said they would look into it.

After another 3 months again by last November, 2019, this tenant refused to leave the apartment. My family went back again to the Lagos Mediation Centre and one of the officials there said "So, the man has not left the house since?". We responded yes. At the Mediation Centre there, they said something like they are incapacitated by the law to take any action.

This is December now going to an end. The tenant is still in the house. He has refused to vacate the apartment. It's about 10 months now living in our apartment without any payment. He has refused to leave.

The apartment is a 2 bedroom flat in Aguda Surulere, Lagos. The tenant's name is Mr Chigozie Okongwu James.

We don't want to take law into our hands as it seems there is no solution to the problem through the Lagos Mediation Centre. It's about 10 months now!

What can my family do to get the man ejected from the apartment? Your advice are welcomed.
