This could lead to dictatorship.

A more practical solution for Nigeria is abolishing one of the houses and reducing the size of the other.

We also need to reduce the powers that they have over their benefits.
Like scrapping the HOR and make the Senate 1 seat per state..
Also putting a restriction to the amount of PA one could have

you arw wrong, Escherichia coli is a normal intestinal flora and can't cause any harm when found in the GIT, it has a symbiotic relationship with humans by helping us digest cellulose from plants and we house them and provide for them in the GIT.

I submitted my application for student visa 9th of may 2017 ,and I received a message yesterday which says.
Dear applicant
I have reviewed your application and document which you submitted in its support. I have a concern that you have not fufilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of the immigration and refugee protection act.
On the current application form,you indicate that you have never been refused any kind of visa,admission, or been ordered to leave Canada or any other country.According to information in our records,you were refused a visa to the united state in 2015.
I would like to give you an opportunity to respond to this information, I will afford you 15days from the date of this letter to make any representation in this regard. Please use the address noted on this letter for all correspondence and clearly indicate your file number.if you do not respond to this request within the time outlined above ,your application will be addressed based on the information available,which will likely result in a refusal.
My nairalanders honestly I was refused USA visa in 2015 ,but it seems I mistakenly tick no when filling the form.
Pls what do you guys think of my chance of getting this visa based on this message.am so scared.pls I need ur opinion.
Write them to explain yourself and pray hard that they buy into your explanation otherwise denial and you May be ban for 5years.
Canada, US and most commonwealth nations share information.

Thank you my Sister. I shall surely testify to the goodness of the Lord! Yes, I accept and take on board what you're saying wholeheartedly. I have looked into Canadian certifications in my field before arriving and had planned to start enrolling on them upon having some sort of an income stream. I will check Coursera as you have suggested and will research to see if there are any free courses I can take in the meantime to build up my skillset to make myself more employable in the Canadian market. You will not believe it but from own personal experience when I was in Europe I never found it challenging to find very good jobs. Therefore, it is strange when someone talks negatively about the job market in Europe, as within my own sphere of knowledge I believe it to be easier to navigate than Canada as in Europe they actually value and recognise one's experience and qualifications.
I will also counsel you to look into VOLUNTEERING... Speak up with your church/mosque members, that is a good way to start your networking.
Finally, don't look done on any job cos even a minimum wage job can pay your monthly bills. I talk from experience

You mean you can't find any sort of work in Toronto ? That would surprise me given that it is extremely easy to find just any type of work through temp agencies. Have you ever try to contact any agency?
Those agencies can give you a temporary assignment in a company or factory that may range from few days to few months. And often time an assignment can turn into full time employment. They are hundreds of those agencies around the GTA.

But as indicated by maternal, you may look into the option of moving of Toronto. I conquer that the GTA is crazy.
The thing surprise me too..

If you are in Calgary and searching for where to buy goat meat, shaki, bokoto, tongue, hard chicken, assorted fish e.t.c. These can also be purchased here at Mcknight. Apart from mechanic shops, there are halal butcher shops and Asian groceries stores. Stuffs like ata rodo and ewedu can be found in Asian stores. All the stores in these mall(probably close to 100) are owned by south Asians.
That Asian store @McKnight is cool.. A lot of variety. There is also an Asian shop in NE where assorted seafood are sold.. different types of fish

This would also depend on your home province...i find goverment owned networks in some provinces as cheap as freedom, chatr e.t.c also with better network coverage. If you would be doing a lot of work outside city limits...the next cheap options would be koodo, fido or virgin.

Concerning cheap calls to naija. i prefer skype but the current APC goverment introduced some sort of tax on international calls to Nigeria e.g a monthly subscription of 60mins went from around $3 to $10. People have preferences.. i still use skype as i dont call Africa often.

Hopefully...other posters on this thread can suggest more cheaper and convenient options.
Calling home, I use Skype too as I pay $9 for 300 minutes per month.. Relatively cheaper

Anyone going to O2 tonight?? Nigeria will play Italy in the 'Star Sixes Tournament'.

They beat China 3-2 yesterday courtesy of goals from Aiyegbenu and Amokachi.

It was a sort of get together for big men. They all played well.

Re: Passport Renewal

You'll have to take a trip from Winnipeg to the Nigeria High Commission in Ottawa to have your passport renewed. Good thing though, they have revamped their operations considerably over there so you can get your passport renewed in a few hours (usually around 2 hours)

Questions regarding study permits will be best dealt with in the Canada study visa thread. Cheers
Thanks for the information though when I called Ottawa, the fella I got was just discouraging.
I hope to renew mine in the coming weeks

Research, Research and research!!!! There are always two sides of the coin. No doubt it will take some time for you to be fully settled howbeit wisdom is needed. Not working, even if it's a transition job, will definitely cost you your savings as stated in the story.
Another mistake the writer of the story made is trying to live the life they were living in Dubai in Canada.. This will drain your savings faster than you can imagine. I advise start small, understand how the system works here and spend from what you earn here w hike the savings you brought from your home country serves as emergency fund.
I know many that started small and today are living the Canadian dreAm.
Another thing is this, have an open mind. Yes, it might not be nice changing career pathway entirely but be ready to do that if events warrant same.
In conclusion, always remember destiny na per head, per head.. live your life without comparing or competing with others and most likely you will be satisfied.

I'm not talking about groups or teams having meeting centers, I am talking about AIM Global corporate brand office where you can walk in to make enquiries or get products as you have in Philippines, Abuja, Onitsha & of course Oyibos will be there I know our people like white skin. Mind you the company already has bank accounts in Nigeria from where they pay their distributors directly into their accounts.

Yes it may not be that very simply as you said but any effort you put in is worth it. Working in a company is not easy (ask bankers), starting a business is not easy neither.
I mean offices.. I have been with them since 2015 and lived in warri. I just decided to quit the biz as I nor get strength and time for networking but I still get products like C-24/7, coffee, and the rest
