Ajereh01:
Compliments of the season! Please I just want to ask a question ? Can a Supreme Court in Germany write to the German embassy on your behalf for an appointment at the embassy , so that you can marry before the date of your marriage! Can the embassy say no to the Supreme Court?
Such a scenario is rare, haven't seen or heard it happen before so one can suppose that it's almost an impossible feat. Do u have the case in court and on what grounds?
Also u must mean the courts of the state or region u intend to wed in Germany cos the supreme court itself on its own don't bother themselves with cases on marriage. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong.

Dr. I just had to post the screenshot below as your username reminded me if an incident which is not even an isolated case. A Nigerian dr. Friend often experiences this as well from patients and nurses. This is just to show some of the things people or immigrants deal with from some "nice" Canadians in the workplace. cheesy

That's one of the reasons why I stated that there are good and bad people everywhere, unlike the eldorado some new immigrants and non-Canadians are passing across to others on this thread.
Yes, that's the reality of the issue. I wish I can say I haven't seen similar thing but I have in my line of work were u meet every sort of people under some extreme stressful situations. I have seen too many things and sort of people to fill a lifetime that sometimes I still wonder how I retain my sanity.
I think the take home information is not to generalize but to say that there are good and bad people. And no matter who we meet, we should retain our calm even in the face of persecution and hostility. Cheers all and happy new year.

Don't derail this thread with your negativity and Canada vs Nigeria nonsense, the op was telling a story of a kind gesture extend to him by a complete stranger in a foreign land and you are here talking about something else.

Definitely not all Canadians are nice. It is erroneous to generalise based on a few occurences. All countries have good and bad people. I have met some really nasty Canadians. From my experience, people generally seem to be more friendlier in smaller Canadian cities. People in bigger cities tend to mind their own business and can often show a nasty behavior when you cross their personal space.
Don't mind those people attacking people making their own opinions known. Generalisation really doesn't fit in well in any situation. Anyone who is widely travelled and experienced should know that. What I see here are a few group of people that just currently left the shores of Nigeria and everything around them is still glittering like gold. Anyways, their eyes will open soon.

Some pained people should keep on killing themselves because they cant leave the shores of Nigeria. Canadians are really nice people and relocating abroad is a very good move. God bless u guys who have shared their lovely stories. Cant wait to hear more.

Trump I know will surely scale through all these hurdles. They will end up making him stronger and more radical.
Stronger? Ofcos not. If he gets more redical than he is now, then they just have to impeach him again.

I used to tell people that liberalism is a sign of mental disorder.


A Democrats dominated house of Representatives Impeached president Trump and now wants a Senate dominated Republicans to also do so.

Imagine Pelosi saying "we hope they will be fair to us"........Was she fair to Trump.

Republicans should rubbish those articles when finally Pelosi got the nerves to send them.


In McConnell's voice "I am in no hurry"
She was fair to Trump and by us she meant the people. Remove partisanship from all these and think for the first time.

If Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton survived their senate trial,then Trump case won't be different. Unless he goes the Nixon way.

BTW, when will Nigeria,a country blinded and divided by ethnicity get there. shocked
Senate would exonerate him. He won't be removed from office

Thanks @drnoel!

I will surely keep in touch.

But realistically, the UK is my target for Practice. I'll sit for MRCS A and B soon after I round up my Fellowship in Naija, which is a more relatable pathway to GMC registration for Surgeons than PLAB.

This Canada pursuit is for my wife and kids. The chances of getting into practice are slim at best. Even at that, the options available favour Physicians.

I have made up my mind to give up 3 years of Practice for all of us to be eligible for Canadian Citizenship, but by God's grace, I'll secure my GMC registration within that period.

I have seen so many colleagues return to Naija after getting their Citizenship cuz they want to Practice their first love - Surgery. I will rather target the UK. My patriotism died years ago grin...

It (our life's pursuits) will ULTIMATELY end in praise for us all!
Ah! Ur focus makes sense now. I do understand. Seems u actually researched well before u started. Very good.

U don't have to explain to me about Ur patriotism. I lost mine too long ago after seeing patients die like cows and not being able to do shit about it. Also made me change specialty, so I understand u very well.

I hear the Canadian board is a little more lenient with European specialists but I can't confirm that cos am not on ground there. So Ur target i.e the UK may be a wise choice too. It's all about fulfillment and what makes one happy.

My interest is the Canadian board and things around it.
Anyways will be in contact.

Cheers.

You mean the coming back home to Ikorodu at 11pm, after spending over 4 hours in traffic, looking over your shoulder cos it feels like someone is following you, and entering your mosquito infested self con, groping around with your hands because there's no light, and finally sleeping in the dark with the heat, the mosquitoes and the germs because you're just too tired to think of a shower.
And oh, after eating a dinner of gala and bottled water in traffic.
It's really like everyday struggle in Lagos indeed... grin
May I not answer all this Ur questions cos there is no clear answer to it all. But believe me madam, it's just like everyday Lagos.

Now I can focus and prepare for my final exams to become a Consultant Surgeon in a few months’ time (my back up plan if I ever have to return to Naija).

Hoping to travel in June 2020 God willing.

Many thanks to @Topsmamen, @Ladymarshall, @Cutieplum, @Adunnee, @ifeoma77, @Joo2018, @Intellectualmum, @Rebe, @shege45 for their selfless help through this process. May God richly bless you all!

Sorry for any typos. I was just in a hurry to share my joy.
Nice one there. I just read Ur story and glad for u and ur family. Anyways the place I quoted is of interest to me.

Since it's in June u hope to go then there's no rush.

Would be nice to have Ur contact so I could learn of Ur progress after u may have travelled. I am interested to know how their process is in this our chosen field.

Though it seems we are both in different areas of specialty, it would still be nice to know.

I just don't understand what Sanusi is wasting his time doing with this Emir stool, dealing with this local politicians that have no moral compass, and On a normal day are not even close to his level.

In my short time here as a member ( though been here as a guest since 2015) I observed that the guys here are easily irritated and get provoked at the slightest opportunity. I mean...I feel its uncalled for especially as this is a faceless forum.

I grew up knowing guys to be very discreet but these days especially in this forum, guys talk recklessly and gossip a lot too. They also dont mind their business.
Is it a comradeship thing here or what? An identity? Hmm....

I also observed non of the members live in Ikoyi, VI, and nice places one can easily relate with...guess I joined the wrong forum after all. Reason I feel like a square peg in a round hole like one in an entirely different circle of people. Hmmm...

If you come at me with your usual rantings, I won't be surprised.

hooha:
Dealing with seductive spirit is good for a lady suffering from the crisis of people eager to sleep with her, but never wanting to date her. Some ladies go through this issue, and it could be heartbreaking at the later stage of their life; when they are set to marry, and all what guys want from them is sex.

I don't even mean sex while dating, which is wrong, but I mean people wanting to sleep with you alone and never wishing or wanting to date you. So no matter how you cook, dress, even dress decently, behave nicely, and so on, every guy or most guys see you as someone that will be sweet in bed. It is indeed terrible!!.

I will advise such ladies to pray and fast against the spirit of seduction in them. This kind of fasting may be for 7 days, with reading of the Bible and much prayers.
This one is here to perpetrate confusion and misconceptions. Pls continue, God is watching u.

Travel › Re: Dubai Tram: Why Don't We Have This Mode Of Public Transport In Nigeria? (Photos) by drnoel: 3:33pm On Dec 12, 2019
AutoJoshNG:
In Dubai, one of the most fascinating features in public transportation is the Dubai Tram. The Dubai Tram is an essential part of Dubai transport network.

Generally, Trams are one of the safest modes of public transport in the world.  

What exactly is a Tram?

A tram is similar to a train in many ways. It runs on a railway-like line called a tramway. Just like trains, it consist of a series of coaches/carriages/vehicles. Trams usually run from a tramway to a railway line. It can also be modified to have the speed of a train.

The Dubai Tramway

The Dubai Tram is a tramway located in Al Sufouh. The tram service links Dubai Metro and the Palm Monorail and runs along Al Sufouh Road and Jumeirah Beach Road. It provides access to destinations such as the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The tram runs for 14.5 kilometres (9.0 mi) along Al Sufouh Road from Dubai Marina to the Palm Jumeirah and Al Sufouh. It takes about 42 minutes to run from Al Sufouh to Jumeirah Beach residences.

In Dubai, to board and ride in a tram, you would need to pay with a Nol card. You can purchase one at any of the tram or Metro stations. A Nol Card can be used by passengers to check-in and check-out of the tram by scanning (tapping) the card at the platform screen doors.

The Tram has a fixed fare of AED 3 (N300) per ride, regardless of the distance travelled. But if you're paying for a ticket with cash,  you would have to pay at a premium.

The trams run every 10 minutes during peak hours and 12 minutes at all other times. A trip along the entire route takes about 40 minutes.

Dubai Tram is fully automated. It provides a vast number of features and services for the convenience of the users. For instance, it is air-conditioned; it has Wi-Fi access throughout its network. It also has a complete mobile phone network. There is also dedicated Tram police to enforce rules.

See Also: Checkout The Fully Air Conditioned Bus Stop Shelters In Dubai (PHOTOS)

So, if you’re visiting Dubai, and you plan to stay in Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeira, etc., you might need to use the Tram.

The Roads and Transport Authority, commonly known as RTA, a major independent government roads & transportation authority in Dubai coordinates the function of the Dubai Tram.

Autojosh.com takes you to the beautiful city of Dubai, to show you some photos of the fascinating Tram.

Now, why don't we have such mode of mass transit in major Nigerian cities?
