For me I feel staying in love is so much more difficult than falling in love....Every reasonable opinions counts.

Picture is rather inappropriate. Only a mad person goes to wife someone like Tonto

Larryfest:
Some interviewers are just too crazy... A lady interviewer once pulled an applicant's tie off and asked him to knot it back. Crazy!!! If you be guy wey no sabi knot tie e don finish be dat for that interview.

Can only happen in Nigeria. Crazy country. Also depends on the role in question. Some roles require wooing the applicant for the company.

No rules to be honest. You can't read the minds construction from the face. Some have sex and keep you, some have sex and run. Some will never take you serious if you can't sacrifice your most prized possessions to them. The ball is in your court.
Are you attracted to him? Do you like him or is it about the nice ride and house? You need to decide for yourself.

At the highlighted. The idea that those words are true is the fallacy that causes all those troubles in the first place.

Your level of simping is beyond cure. So it's only runs gals that demand favour. Keep exposing your myopia.

Your response all these while shows nothing but a simp hiding behind masculinity.

Enjoy your life bro, I ain't got time to validate simps.

To each his own.

Small boy U are welcome. Don't forget to come back and thank the forum for the word of wisdom. Cheers

I'm 200% sure you're the one doing all the favours for these your female friends.

It just shows how am 200% sure what a shallow mind u have. Grow up and stop associating with runz girls. It will save Ur life and the very little resources u have.
Thank me later.

Peacefullove:
You can actually make your point without the bolded, I though don't agree with playing use and dump or treating women bad. I respect women just do not worship them , but even at that, There are some points in their work many here testified has helped them get the girl of their dreams and understand her better . So there are perspectives to this thing

At last a little maturity in this thread full of children. As regards to the bolded u spoke of, I make no apologies. It was necessary at that time so I also make no excuses either.
I doubt I mentioned worshipping women, they are not God so I believe that part doesn't warrant any more comment.
But u did make my point. Women are there to be respected, just like one respects the next person. And yes it's a perspective thing but adults need to put their foot down when juvenile's like the kids I mentioned previously come out here spewing shit.

anyone in frankfurt, Darmstadt to be precise? I will be coming down by August.

There is a large Nigerian community in Frankfurt but many people prefer keeping to themselves. Still, u will find if u look. Good luck

good morning all, I had a convo with my brother that's in Germany, he said he was granted asylum and told them he wanted to do his masters and he had a second class lower and after his masters, he got a job, can anyone back up his story or who has plied that route.

Can't back up the story directly. Didn't have such experience but know close friends who went thru that route. It's not the best of routes to use, cos of headaches and heartaches. Come the legal means as a student and have Ur peace.

Warthon:
This link right here is the answer to your question.
https://www.studying-in-germany.org/bringing-your-family-to-germany-on-a-student-visa/

So it is possible with a student visa so far you follow the guidelines on the link above.

What u posted is for family reunion. I doubt Germany recognises fiancee as common law partner. Cos I know in our time they strictly only allowed direct family members i.e wife and kids.
Also the EU blue card is not regarded as a visa. Am hearing it being called a visa here but I think that's wrong. Am not sure myself.
Cheers!!

Skepticus:
Women flock around principled men

Principled men and women in one sentence? This one, knows nothing about women.

Yes, if it's the type of lowlifes and runz girls u associate with. Then am glad I have no idea about them and thank God for that.
Cheers

Nigeria judges are something else because some of them or der cronies are eyeing the office so dey must support

It is the law and that's the problem. The judges can only interprete the law as they see it. The problem is the house who makes the law. They tend to make self-serving laws to benefit themselves and their cronies

LosC:
The Nigerian Government on Thursday urged the United States of America to consider the long standing relationship between the two countries and reverse its visa restrictions on the country.

Ministry of Interior Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, made the call on Thursday, when the American Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Leonard, and her team paid him a visit in Abuja.

Aregebsola said Nigeria had complied with most of the issues of concern raised by America, adding that Nigeria is not a pariah nation.

The minister said the cooperation with the U.S. would solve Immigration and Consular issues in control of persons seeking to enter both countries through issuance of visa, passport and other travel documents.

According to Aregbesola , Nigeria should be commended rather than sanctioned owing to relationship with America.

He further appealed to the U.S. to review its Visa Validity to Nigerians from two years limit to at least five years

He also urged U.S. to establish a third office in Nigeria in reciprocity with the country which has establishments in Atlanta, New York and Washington D.C.

Aregebsola emphasised the need for both countries to strengthen the Security Governance Initiative between his Ministry and American Embassy through proper enlightenment and awareness creation.

The minister added that the relationship between both nations must be mutually beneficial.

He gave assurance that the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration was not only committed to ensuring internal security and citizenship integrity of Nigerians and foreigners alike, but also to the fight against terrorism and transnational crimes and criminalities.

‘’We are positive that visa restriction is a temporary one, it will soon be put behind us.

“President Muhammadu Buhari would commission the Nigeria Immigration Data Technology Centre before the end of the year 2020, as part of the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring that her data is linked with security agencies globally.”

Earlier, the envoy said her team was in the Ministry to share ideas on possible ways of addressing Information sharing gap between the two nation.

Leonard added that America had a very broad collaboration with Nigeria, which covers immigration, safety issues and security.

The envoy gave assurance of her country’s determination to continue to collaborate with Nigeria, so as to further strengthen their relationship.

Appeal what? Who are they that they should be an appeal. Deal fire with fire

MelesZenawi:
Then let them dissolve the outfit....if they can't work under police.

But that's the point. They shouldn't work under the police. Theirs is just a regional outfit and their jurisdiction should be regional and that means the state pay them not the federal government.
What I myself don't understand is what the civil service is doing at all? What is their role? Why do we like copying and multiplying offices and government parastatals in this country? Why can't the house downgrade the civil service to state level and place them on salaries?
We are talking about cost of governance and still adding burden to government.

Auxtin85:
This look like a cook up stories to me

Maybe, I too don't know. But when one starts hearing things like this from reliable sources one wonders if there is truth to it. I heard it from colleagues back home. I don't know what to think but to believe it.

A video (length: 54 minutes 43 seconds) with the title “International Community Gets Tough on the Supreme Court of Nigeria” has in the past week been making the rounds on the social media.

A national newspaper even published a story on 14 February based on the video, which it titled: “Ihedioha: National Press Club Proposes Visa Ban on Supreme Court Justices.”

According to the said newspaper: “The National Press Club has proposed a list of punitive measures against the justices of the Supreme Court over its decision on the Imo State governorship appeal that removed Hon. Emeka Ihedioha as the tate (sic). The club, which is the world’s largest professional organisation for journalists, berated the apex court for delivering what they described as a flagrant fraudulent judgment. It warned that the judgment if not reversed could lead to more sanction against the judiciary, which is supposed to be the last hope of Nigeria.”

What are the facts?

The National Press Club of America, listed an event for 5 February 2020, by a group which described itself as the “US Council on Nigeria” as a “news conference” on “The Nigerian Judiciary and the Imo State Election Crisis Symposium on the Collapse of Democracy.”

https://f5p3e9e4.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/National-Press-Club-768x400.png


“US COUNCIL ON NIGERIA”
An online search for this group yielded no result. The nearest group in name to this is the US-Nigeria Council for Food Security, Trade and Investment (USNC), described as “the premier organisation dedicated to strengthening commercial and business ties between the United States and Nigeria… The Council’s work actively supports Nigeria’s national strategy for economic prosperity and US commercial diplomacy.” Its founding members – and membership is by invitation-only — include Flour Mills of Nigeria, OANDO, Dangote Group, Seplat, Access Bank and the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority. Others are Exchange, Chevron, Yinka Folawiyo Group, McLarty Associates, Ventures Platform and Zenith Bank.

Mira Mehta, whose company, Tomato Jos, recently broke ground in Kaduna State, for a tomato paste processing factory, attests: “A USNC executive dinner gave me the platform to promote Tomato Jos amongst the leaders of both the Nigerian and American private sector, which led to direct investment in my company from a USNC member.” Andela, which has a Nigerian co-founder, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, states: “The US-Nigeria Council is focused on tangible results. They help forge valuable connections,and have already begun solving real business problems for us through their impressive network.”

THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
One hundred and twelve years ago this month, a reporter for the old Washington Times, named Graham Nichol, walked across a street in Washington, DC, on crutches – because he had only one leg – to meet a colleague named James Hay. Nichol reportedly told Hay: “I’m getting tired of having to hunt a stuffy, ill-ventilated little hall room in a cheap boarding house every time I want to play a game of poker. Hells bells, why don’t we get up a press club? A place where the fellows can take a drink or turn a card when they feel like it.”

That was the foundation of The National Press Club, which is now being housed in its fourth location – since 12 March 1908, when 32 newspaper journalists pooled together US$300 “to create a private club for reporters to socialise and talk shop” – in The National Press Building at 529 14th Street, Washington, DC.



The Club “offers 10 unique and historic event spaces (all on the same floor) that can accommodate professional or social events for up to 1,500 guests at full capacity (entire club).”

It was in one of the spaces – the Zinger Room – that the event on the Imo state governorship election was held.

The National Press Club stated clearly on the Event Schedule thus: This event is not sponsored or endorsed by The National Press Club. Inquiries should be directed to the contact above.

ZOOBEE CHUKWURAH

https://f5p3e9e4.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Zoobee-Chukwurah-150x150.jpg

This is one of the two Nigerians listed on the schedule as the Media Contact with the phone number (240) 308-5097. This name and the number match that of one “mortgage consultant” (in picture) based in the State of Maryland in the United States of America. Appearing on Facebook as Hon. Zoobee R Chukwurah, he had promoted the event on 2 February on his wall as “Breaking News” “designed to draw global attention to the crisis in Nigeria’s judiciary sparked by a contentious judgement of the Supreme Court mid January that resulted in the sacking of Mr. Emeka Ihedioha, an elected governor of Imo State, in the South-East of the country.” The post attracted only one comment by someone who sought permission to share. On 31 January, he also posted the Event Schedule as it appears on the website of The National Press Club (press.org). He was the moderator of the event at The National Press Club.

LLOYD UKWU

https://f5p3e9e4.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screengrab-of-Lloyd-Ukwu-from-the-video-150x150.png


This is the other person listed on the Event Schedule as Media Contact. He is the one reported by TheCable in April 2019 as the one described in a letter to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar by Bruce Fein of the lobbying firm, Fein & DelValle PLLC, as the former’s “trusted confident” who would assist in the Situation Room the firm was creating in its offices to secure the US endorsement of Atiku’s efforts to defeat what it called “flagrant violence and irregularities orchestrated” by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Buhari to compromise the presidential election.” In the said video, he is the one in light brown suit and light blue shirt and tie donning a fur felt hat. As it were, Bruce Fein and his partner, W Bruce DelValle, are the other two persons listed in the Event Schedule.

At the event, Ukwu described Fein as the keynote speaker. The other speakers, apart from Ukwu, were DelValle and two other Nigerians based in the US: Steve Onye and Edward Oparaoji.



Fein, an attorney, is a known friend of the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and has levelled accusations of genocide against the Buhari administration in the past.

https://f5p3e9e4.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Bruce-Fein-768x484.jpg


Fein, a US lawyer, is a strong supporter of Biafra

There are seven different videos of varying durations of the event posted to YouTube by one Joachim Ugwu on 13 February 2020. In the one dubbed “Segment #1” Ugwu states what the event was all about: “To amplify and elucidate and explain basically what is happening in Nigeria in respect of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria which on 14 January annulled the election of Hon Emeka Ikedioha as governor of Imo State (and) bring (it) to the attention of the international community.”

Fein advanced the possibility of the US Government invoking the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act of 2016 “which allows the U.S. government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world.” According to him the Nigerian supreme court justices who gave the judgment and even the “compromised” entire institution of the apex court should be the target of such sanctions. Another speaker, in another video, suggested the inclusion of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party.

In the video dubbed Segment #4, Chukwurah summed up what the organisers believed the event would achieve: “The gentlemen that have spoken, they have spoken so loud, so well, and because I know where they come from and what they stand for here in America and that they stand with Nigeria at all times, I know (and) can tell you one thing: that someone out there is listening and listening fast. And based on what I have heard, there is nothing like letting the sleeping dog lie; because the sleeping dog has been lying. It is time to wake up the sleeping dog. Certain flagrant mistakes have been made, in fact and in law.Based on what I have heard from these legal luminaries…I know that some people will eventually take their steps back and begin to do the right thing….”

And as Fein states (in the main video): “The more that is written about this,the more it rises to the surface….Justice is won by persistence….We shouldn’t under-estimate the voice of the United States.”

In short, Fein and DelValle are simply doing what “they know how to do best” — to quote Chukwurah: lobbying

VERDICT: IT IS ALL HYPE
Neither did The National Press Club (of America) “propose” any visa ban on supreme court justices nor did the “international community get tough on the Nigerian Supreme Court”.

Supreme court told us that uche nwosu is the authentic candidate for AA and APC,so how did Hope now suddenly become a candidate for APC again,this shit show from the highest court in the land is pathetic,and just look at how reckless they where in declaring hope the governor of imo state without asking inec for authentication of the votes in the ballot papers presented by another body (Nigerian police) that is not the electoral umpire,this judgement is so reckless and stupid,I wonder for Nigeria at times Sha,this judgement must be reviewed and set aside by the supreme court,Na only shame Dem go shame but they should do the right thing.

They asked INEC and INEC declared those PUs where disqualified and the SC still went ahead to add the votes from disqualified PU to Hope's result thus declaring him winner.

WHAT A WRETCHED DISPLAY OF RACIAL INFERIORITY COMPLEX

We are supposed to take this video serious without knowing the name of this person, what he does, or what his agenda is.

We are supposed to just look at him and see a white man, who in IPOBs' dull heads, translates to ''angel of God'' uttering infallible words by virtue of his skin colour and American accent.

That is what gives him credibility in the eyes of the OP.

That is why he can't even be bothered to tell us who this person is, or what that place they are sitting in is.

THIS IS WHY I SAY THAT IPOBS HAVE LOW IQ AND A WRETCHED INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

This trash they posted is Exhibit A in that assertion.

SPIT.

Unnecessary! The spit was way off and very ethnophobic.
If u had problems with the video u could have made Ur point without bias or posted contrary information to prove Ur point.
Now u have let bias in, be ready for people going for Ur neck.

The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has felicitated with the First Lady, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, and Gov. Nasir El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State over their birthday celebration.

In a statement signed by Gov. Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, as Chairman of the forum, in Abuja on Tuesday, the APC governors said they joined Nigerians to celebrate a special occasion with the celebrants, NAN reports.




“The Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has joined all Nigerians to celebrate the birthday of Her Excellency, Aisha Buhari. We celebrate this special occasion with you and His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari.

True but women have always been the stronger of the two genders.

A complete lie. One certificate would have been enough but 83 is a complete outright rape of our collective intelligence. These people really take Nigerians for fools.
Okay, let's humour u and agree we are all fool but prove us wrong by posting just 1 of those 83.
People also know that there are many types of certificates. That one has a certificate doesn't mean he/she finished a program.

I believe it's possible to write to the PHC and explain the situation to them then follow it up. Since u are not the person that accrued the bill and the landlord is not forthcoming it's possible to reduce the total bill. They won't agree to cancel it completely but u would be mandated to make a certain amount of payment to have the general total of the bill uplifted.
I can remember my wife had similar problem years back when she moved into a new house. Most of these landlords are heartless. Anyway if memory serves me well the bill was about 90 K and after all said and done we had to only pay about 30 K but we gave the good Samaritan PHCN guy who informed us it was possible and helped us run the stuff about 10 K but only out of gratitude.
Pls inform urself and see if it's still done.

*Pls to update on this story, I just confirmed from my wife that we gave the PHCN guy that helped us only 5 K and not 10 K as I previously wrongly stated.

* Make una no vex, we men fail to remember details of such things but I have no idea how women still remember these things
