SportsRe: Barcelona Confirm Messi’s Exit As Contract Talks Collapse by drlaykay(m): 6:09pm On Aug 06, 2021
lazarusokafor90:
Why you dey take am personal? You clearly said that "he needs to SHOW himself" at another club. Maybe you can explain better what "show himself" mean.
He should leave, it's a good one.
Not because he needs to show himself in a different club ( baba has done it all ) but he's getting too boring repeating the same thing.
I said NOT because he needs to show himself
Not not not not not not not


I can't help you better than the above, I'm sorry

Car TalkRe: Five Things You Should Know To Avoid Being Defrauded In A Nigerian Fuel Station by drlaykay(m): 4:54am On Aug 03, 2021
This your explanation hard o
Most of what is written there can only be detected by an experienced person, probably someone who has worked as a fuel attendant previously.
I don't know how I want to know when air is being pumped into my car since I don't live in the tank.
A long nozzle not emptying completely makes sense, but how do I prevent that?
Cut the nozzle to get the remaining fuel?

If metre is adjusted to dispense lesser than what is obtainable, how do we know?

If an old price is recalled, will it automatically reflect on the screen?

These are simply methods used in scamming us and not solutions

Gbajure:
Becos he is like you a private citizen. Just astronomically more blessed
who told you he's more blessed than I am? You judge blessings in Nigeria by stolen funds. You don't care about the source of one's wealth or how many lives they took to achieve it. All you care about is having the money.
Sorry to tell you, he's not more blessed than I am, he might be better than your generation.

I'm still working on my legal potentials which will blossom soon.

People like you will also say Buhari is blessed.
Failures!

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Adefarasin's Plan B: The Blindness Of Privilege - Chika Unigwe by drlaykay(m): 3:59am On May 21, 2021
martyns303:
The writer is contradicting himself. First he said the pastor is being an hypocrite for advising people to have a plan B while preaching faith.

At the same time, the writer said the idea of people “checking out” is not new, and mentioned a 80s advert, if the idea of leaving is not new, why criticize the pastor for saying something everyone else already knows?

The writer said, the pastor is having a privileged mentality, at the same time, he said even unprivileged people are either leaving or plan on leaving if u should check Twitter.

At the end of the day, let everybody do what works for them.
My views do not align with the op's but you obviously do not understand the passage as there are no contradictory statements.

The sound stopped but these warning signs came up.

"VSC and CHECK"

Brother, that thing is difficult
Sometimes, u have to resume elsewhere immediately after closing somewhere.

If u are so unlucky, u might have a very busy night shift. A few times, you won't get to sleep in your house where you pay compulsory rent for 2 weeks.

All these, to make ends meet

TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by drlaykay(m):
Pepperoni001:
Good morning. I’m praying that you will get your desired scores.

Please, I need materials that you studied. I will be glad if you can assist me with it.
Thanks, and may yours come easily too.
To the question.
I do not believe in any particular material. I didn't read any material with full concentration.
I glanced through ieltsbuddy and ieltsliz but never dwelt on them.
There are many materials and they will all end up confusing you.

My strategy was to first test myself with the past questions in each section.

For listening: After doing my first set of listenings, I discovered I had issues with the multiple choice questions and the A-G parts. If u have started practice, you will know these parts.
My first practice, I scored 27. I felt bad and practised frequently including midnights at work.

I checked how to listen for the multiple choice questions on different sites but I didn't get any useful tips.i watched videos and all I got was try to listen attentively, like I play while doing it..

With more practice and trial of different strategies, I discovered my problem was not having time to read the options and digesting it well. Any question I understand the options come so easily especially those with options as single words or a phrase.
So I prioritised my attention to ensuring I understood the options within the short period..
I improved a great deal. And started scoring between 34 and 38. Most times 35 on dot.

Reading: I heard about skimming from a friend and tried it and it didn't work perfectly. I heard about reading the full passage, but it's time consuming as I'm quite compulsive with ensuring I'm doing the right thing. I read sentences again and again to be sure I'm picking the right answers.

Then I decided to combine both strategies depending on the form which the questions appear. I skim some while I read others fully..
And it worked for me. On exam day, I finished 11 minutes before time.

Will reply speaking and writing later.
Local man is sleepy.i just got back from work

PS:
At a point in my reading practice, discovered the last passages are technical with 13 questions under them. I always had just 20 to 24 minutes left for that aspect. initially, I don't finish up.
So I decided to time myself for that part alone. I did about 7 passages from that part alone under 20 minutes. initially, I was not meeting up with time but later, I started doing well.

writing: I have always loved writing. And I believed I wouldn't have any issues. This is the only part I read the material to about 60 percent completion. I chose writing amongst other modules IELTS gave options to choose from, because there's a format to writing in IELTS that must be obeyed. I must say the teaching is well broken down especially for beginners. However, it could threaten to reduce your standards a bit especially if u were a top writer. The other challenge I faced with writing, especially task 2 ,was the time. it's too short and you might not have time to proofread your work.

speaking: I rehearsed a speaking section once with a friend and discovered it is just a regular interview format that I'm used to. I answer questions everyday from patients.
I checked the Cambridge questions from time to time and noticed I could answer most of the questions intelligently and fast without hesitation. A day before my speaking test, I watched Liz's video on YouTube. I learnt few more things. I will say they were useful but I wasn't comfortable with all. Like using a contraction for name.
instead of "my name is", it's best to say "my name's"...
I wasn't comfortable with the use, cos I wasn't used to it at all. I dropped it before getting to bite my tongue that day. I use other contractions but never used that.

In summary, all the long write up is saying is that you need to develop your own format. Don't dwell on anyone's format. Simply understand yourself and go for what works for you.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by drlaykay(m): 10:41pm On Mar 27, 2021
I wrote my IELTS today and I really need my listening to be up to 8. I made a few mistakes that could slide me to having 34 which is 7.5.

I'm extremely confident of other parts. In fact, I'm not sure I will get any answers wrong in reading.
But all this result with a 7.5 in listening will drop my CRS to about 430 from a possible 480...

I'm so tensed. I can't even sleep well.
I don't want to write this exam a second

Well, thanks for the tip although I don pass that level. The criminal has to be very sophisticated
I just hope someone is not trying to secure a loan with my data.
PhonesWhy Did I Get An OTP? by drlaykay(op):
I woke up to see an OTP on my phone, sent by "VFD MFD".
I didn't run any transactions or any activities whatsoever that required having an OTP sent.

I googled and discovered it's probably from a microfinance bank. I don't have any affiliation with them.
I hope all is well?

PS: just remembered I have some money fixed with cowrywise and can't withdraw till few months.
But I didn't even open the app or did anything on it.

It is true that the Nigerian citizens are not helping matters ..but don't you think the people fighting for the custody of the money will loot it too?
We know what the end of the money will be.
Either ways, it will be looted.
So let the money just go back to its owners.
I think what UK, US, Swizz and the rest should adopt is building infrastructure with such money.
Of they don't agree, they should not send it.
Abacha's loot was said to have gone into social infrastructure. Non accountable sum.we don't see people who get this money

PropertiesRe: My Landlord Gave Me 6months Quit Notice When My Rent Will Due In 6months Time by drlaykay(m): 6:05pm On Mar 09, 2021
BabaIjebuXL:
You are not bright. The landlord was trying to be smart, normally a landlord can only issue a quit notice at the expiration of rent. People like you go about normalizing bullshit, one of the reasons why we are not moving forward as a nation. koshidanu
A lot of people think this is the norm.
But the truth is,the law is explicit on it.
Your landlord only owes you six months in terms of notice. No more ,no less.
Whether the notice is coming before the expiration or after or overlapping. All that is required is a 6 months notice.

The law does not support that you owe your landlord one dime. If your landlord gives you a six months notice after the expiration of your rent, he can sue you to pay for the extra six months and will win.
TravelRe: How Did You Survive Your Divorce In The UK? by drlaykay(m): 6:57pm On Mar 08, 2021
Tats:
People in Canada have become experts in getting various types of letters (financial, bank accounts, IOU, medical) from Nigeria to back up their divorce cases and the Canadian courts take those letters very seriously. So I am not surprised about what you wrote.
I know she will definitely get it, but not from me biko.
TravelRe: How Did You Survive Your Divorce In The UK? by drlaykay(m):
That's how a random woman called me from canada pleading for a medical report.
Said the content should be that when she was in Nigeria 2016, she was admitted in my hospital because her husband beat her while she was pregnant and that she lost consciousness for some days.
I asked what she needed it for, she said nothing that she only wanted to keep it. She offered me 200k, I rejected it without thinking twice.

Na so she go use am go destroy another person life. I will never be an accomplice to someone else's downfall. I can't sell my conscience for money.
PhonesRe: Sim Swap/Retrieval Problems: Share Your Experiences Nairalanders by drlaykay(m):
I bought a sim card (infact, it's my main line till date) when I was going back to school after the long ASUU strike around Sept., 2009.

My phone got stolen in December 30, 2009, when I went home on a Christmas break.

I got another phone, late January and decided to go retrieve my sim card. On getting to MTN office, I met a lady who inquired about when my sim got missing and I answered her appropriately. Only for her to call me a liar. She claimed my phone got missing around September. And there's a 3 month rule and I was lying because it's over three months and I knew I had lost right for my sim card to be renewed...

I tried my best to have her believe me however she was only interested in what her computer told her. In conclusion, I had my line retrieved by her out of pity but she maintained I was lying...

I left there with a big scar on my heart, although I got what I wanted, but in a very demeaning way
