1. I'll openly show my disapproval, cuz even though I don't seek perfection, i want my daughter to have more than I did (talking of my hubby)
2. We'll both lose. I guess then, we won't trust each other's judgement any longer.
3. Nothing and nobody. But being a parent, it's just selfish to think you know what's good for your child.

first and formost,I must commend ur effort in answering those questions in that way and manner, not many on here would(LOW IQ)
* you said you gonna openly show your disapproval, to what effect would that have when they already sence it, 4 all you know you might not even have the chance to do so lol(Thanks to registry)
*In the part of who is going to lose the more,I would say you cos yougonna lose your daughter and grandchildren that follow oh and xtended famillies too
*Thank you agree that thinking you know whats good for your child is selfish

In a NUT shell from your answers,I hope you would agree with me that ther is nothing you could do if they do decide to go ahead to get married

NRI PRIEST:
Who is asking these question? Are u a ghost? We left Nigeria to go look for what our country couldnt offer us;good education,opportunity to become rich when worked hard unlike in nigeria where monkey work bamboo dey chop,good roads,less traffic I can go on and on.But am not saying I dont love my country but things are not organized in nigeria and its even worst to want to come and live in nigeria after assimilating with this organized,corruption free system. Dont get me wrong but look at the state of the nation and its not our fault at all,its the leaders who dragged this nation through the mud. let me give u an example of one incident. there was a time my siblings were looking for admission in univ.,they got there cut off mark and even scored above but we were told that u have to bring like half a million naira for a medical student to get an admission!!!!!!!!!!! are u phucking kidding me? and u want me to come back right? u must have lost your senses!

Guy take it easy ohhhhh I fell you stress and anger, but dont 4get some guys here are in thier early 20s,got no clue of what life is al about, dont even know what 9ja passport looks like let alone VISA so they can just post from %O xpirience.

Russialane:
Thats true everybody here is equal nothing like sir or ma no show off here everybody here is the same.

back home, CEOs r very arrogant hire  and fire at will  lol anyway, Home is home,we ova here are doing our part, let them ova there do thier part, when they come 4 visit we will do our best to take care of them, when we go over there, we will still take care of ourselves  cos automaticaly we have money hence we come holiday  lol

Even at the traditional wedding, u don't have to wear matching clothes. If it is not your style, no lele.

In my tradition you have to, even parents have to, its a way of identifying whom is who.

michelin89:
If he can work, provide for his family and sleep with his wife, then he is ok for her.

But as a mother, I can't allow my daughter to get married to such man, sorry!

Ok you've made your point, in its true sence,I wan your honest answer, what can you realy do if she goes ahead without your conscent?question one
Question two who will lose if she does goes ahead to marry the man?
Question three whant gives you the right to determine the lives of those who are meant o live in this earth long after you have gone?
I want you honest answers to these three question and we can gatther your frame of mind.

maasoap:
@boy t, I like your post. That's the real truth, most especially the last part about the rich people sending their kids abroad for education and withdrawing them back home for employment. Yet, my brother/sister hustlers in foreign lands would tell you it was because of Boko Haram as if this sect had been in existence for many years. Liars!!!

try read what you just posted guy,YOU SAID RICH PEOPLE ie people who can afford to sponsor thier kids abroad,them ones have connections soplace the child in positions once the return kids like that dont write application letters unlike teh common man I finished school 1999, my course mate then  only managed to just get a job with PHCN 2007 seriously, now tell me how sad is that? moreso if you have worked here b4 it would be hard to work in 9ja, ther is nothing like yes sir here, everyone is equall as far as you aint the CEO.you dont get threatened with SACK and minimum wage in its true sence get implimented.

suprise suprise

r231:
@op. . . . . when you rtn home den the rest of us will follow you

lol Nice one

Russialane:
no doubt you guys have made valid points which i definitely agree our government in nigeria is our number one enemy to me its just so unfortunate what we go through in this abroad in search of greener pastures.

This is it,we go fru loads of lows to get there, but we will get their cos our quest is to be better than who we where yesterday and by his grace we are.

michelin89:
I can't. What does the poster mean by physically challenged? Is it ugliness or a handicap? I need to know to comment properly.

It means people who cant do the everyday thing you do without a challenge ie disabled in some shape or form,This is the term used in civilised societies nowadays not to cos distreesed to physically challenged people.You are not allowed to use the word disabled freely anymore.

madoba:
Erractic power supply, lack of quality healthcare services, poor infrastructures like bad roads etc etc, are amongst the many complaints I have heard and keep on hearing from my superiors based abroad and some other Nigerians I know in Yankee as their reasons for staying/remaining abroad.

The matter dey tire me sef, with the way they carry on condemning practically everything. Suddenly nothing is good or praise worthy in their own country and homeland. I often hear, in America this or that wouldn't happen. In the US they would do it like this, In the United States blah blah blah and the list just goes on.

Everything has become a comparison between us (Nigeria) and the developed world/countries. What I find really exasperating is the constant strings of complaints from this people (my bosses etc), who do nothing and offer no solutions to the problem other than talk and criticize.

They left this country (Naija) for greener pastures and expect to come back to a well developed and fully functional nation. Who were they or are they expecting to rebuild the nation and make it comfortable enough for them to return to? Is it the Govt or those who returned after school or is it the ones that have never left at all.That would be a classic case of monkey dey work baboon dey chop.

In a nutshell I wish Nigerians abroad who are particularly fond of criticizing and condemning this nation would equally proffer solutions in the wake of their criticism or just do what they can in their immediate environment or communities in Naija like sinking a bole hole in their village or even sponsoring a child or two to secondary school level. Contribute your quota as you honestly can in whatever capacity.

My brother, I feel you but the answers lies in the reason why we left in the first place, there are people in place paid to fix these problem   but they chose not to instead embessle ,share the money(PDP) a the expence of the general populace,No Money is not everything even so,the ammount we 9ja generate is anough to sort our problems so why are we still in same hole after howmany years after 1960.People abroad contribute in their own lil ways to development.Most guys set up thier own Biz which are often international, they employ one or two people pay taxes.They build houses, new ones  lol the more well offs open industries of cos get short changed cos of the cost of production ie PHCN the list goes on n on not until people learn to apreciate what they earn and not hope for more, we wont move nowhere, My argument is, if 1000 left to go abroad 20 years ago  and 70 of us got back to set up small Biz employ5-6 persons its development slow but steady

Wallie:
Well, the move has to be gradual…one cannot just abandon everything that one knows for a complete unknown. For people with choice, a source of stable income needs to be created that has the potential of sustaining one for decades to come. Ultimately, I will return to Nigeria but not at the expense of abandoning a place I’ve spent about 2/3 of my life. My goal is to have businesses in the US and Nigeria that feed off each other so that I can spend equal amounts of time in both places.

There are also quite a number of things that I do for recreation that cannot be easily replicated in Nigeria in the near future. Money is nice but quality of life is “nicer.”

Thank you jare my guy, you said it al,people seem to 4get quickly that guys abroad have a life they live just like them back home,some of like myself ever started working in the Uk first time,I left 9j as soon as I finish my NYSC so I got no clue as to being employed in 9ja looks like,plz there aint no copetition going on.

michelin89:
Physically challenged = ugly?

You suprised,? dnt B, thats the tiny framwork of un exposed people.

nsodo:
In life if a man has no challenge that person will stop thinking that why even the unemployed should pay tax because that will increase their zeal of looking for work or creating theirs in order to be able to pay tax. But if they are exempted from it it make many lazy.

bravo for your thought now what shall we call this TAX paid by the unemployed I wanna KNOW

Russialane:
lets call a spade a spade, in the uk i mean na house dem get? were u end up mortgaging your life for a house for lord knows how many years and when you get old that same house by crook or force will still be collected from you and resold again so, na lie

you have not got a clue of how the mortgage system works moreso its irrelevant to the question in hand,what use is a mortgage to you when you plan to relocate after 10 years?

IbroSaunks:
well with the way u stated the facts, one can only expect them to influence his decision.

Quick questions, if her mother told her to point a gun to her head and shoot herself, would you consider her selfish? Do you know her "selfish reasons"? Would you give up your own happiness for someone else?

Im not trying to attack you, im just saying you shouldn't jump into conclusions like that. Some factors come into play here, and even if they don't like him now, it doesn't mean they would have a "grudge" against him forever.

Well said best responce eva

EmmaIK:
thanks.
should i transfer the money to my parents current acount?
the hospital is my dads own and he is the sole signatory to the account.
Also time is running out as the funds have to be there for at least 28 days.
thanks.

yep do exactly that and follow teh advice given to the previous poster ok and Good luck cos you need loads of it in these matter.

Russialane:
you are right i have seen lots here nothing to show for those donkey years here .

when you said you have seen loads here did you mean nothing to show for here i n London or nothing to show for back home? cos its two diffrent picture here

EmmaIK:
please help. i was refused uk entry visa

ECO comment
PBS guidance states that you are required to show that you have held sufficient funds for your first year tuition fees and maintenance costs. These amounts must be held in your personal bank account or your parent’s bank account or in an international bank account for a minimum period of 28days. The end of which must not be more than one month before the date of your application, for which you must show bank statements. Your remaining tuition fees are GBP13200 and your remaining maintenance is GBP 5400. Total GBP18600. As evidence you submitted statements of ………, clinic and maternity. Whilst you may have access to these funds in the company bank account, this account is not evidence of your personal funds and you have not provided evidence that this company operates in more than one country. Therefore it’s not acceptable. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved the required 10 points. And therefore refuse your visa application.
Please what do I do since I want to apply again?

you got your solutiion right there, just address the issues the ECO raised, hold your money in your or parents account for 28 days

justwise:
Go ahead and apply, you can still be issued a visa within 5-10 working days. Just make sure u submitted all required documents.

joy4you:
Sorry,I meant 3weeks before he end of my enrolmentt

there you go ,you still have ample time

[quote author=Ykman! link=topic=746786.msg9032998#msg9032998 date=1314616292]Well, I guess staying out there has become an only choice rather than an option! Many a supposed Nigerian out there can't imagine coming home, not to mention visit! I guess problem's that they themselves haven't got much to show for the many years of their foray in d 'whiteman's land' after all! [/quote]if your Bro abroad decides to come home with his Boxers and a hand purse would you chase him back abroad?

joy4you:
Thanks for your response erico,have actually called the school and explained my situation to them and they said I only have till the end of enrolment after resumption and after that I can't get anymore extension,and I got the info from a friend about the late submission,when I submit,I will only have 3weeks before my resumption,am very worried about this

Thats tough, well you can only do what you got to do bro

Joecoollorenzo:
Well, if i met you when you are 18yrs, and u try that time wasting baloney, i'd just forget abt, time wud tel, devil on your side u keep doing to every other guy, i'd com again give you a trial by 28yr, and by 38yr u sure wud b askin out. Looool

Bross U harsh oh 38yeras lol that na abadoned project

joy4you:
Good day everyone,am new here,please i was refused a student uk visa and was adviced to put money in my account for 28days which i have done,the money will complete 28days on the sept. 23th,i was wondering if i can apply that same day because my school resumes 28th of september and enrolment dedline is october 17th,and they said i cannot get an extension, i am very very worried and need to know if there is any chance i would be refused for late submission because i was told i could be refused based on that,please i need your opinion,
thank you all.

Im not truly tuned when it comes to student VISA cos I did not go fru that rout having said that, who is giving you al them infos, I would like to say do it 29 days after if you could, and you written/call the school and heard from them directly saying they cant extend registration? I know you are paying and they need your money so they might just make an exception 4 you.

erico2k2:
Realy?,I thought women where i n the day and age where what a man can do a woman can do better kinda reasoning.My Advvice 4 yah girls, if you go out on a date, hold your own cash cos one day a guy will just pay his share and leave you to pay yours if you cant, its straight to the kitchen to wash plates lol

haha, but even if you got the means to pay,you wont? remember he would be polite to ask you to order what you want how about if he cant afford what you want?its got nothing to do with BRITISHNESS.btw have you heard of the saying lets go DUTCH? if you both go 50-50 it means both are o n equal terms, its only in an environment where women cant empower themselves that the crave for the MAN to do it all, actually in Nigeria its usually man %100 woman %0 how dare you ask a woman to pay some oart of the bill when you the man takes her out lol
SO my Dear it got nothing to do with britishness,I live in Britain, and go out loads and most of the tiems, I pay all the bills and its not cos she cant.

chocobunny:
Ask them again! I find it so disrespectful. Are you going to devour me??! Ahn ahn! As your signature says, I am not anti-men, just anti B.S.!

Be sending me texts saying "Am rly n luv wiv u." I just met you outside and you already love me?!

AH at last, lol I thought it was only me lol

nassiwa:
Both can contribute but a man is expected to spend more especially when it comes to outings.

Realy?,I thought women where i n the day and age where what a man can do a woman can do better kinda reasoning.My Advvice 4 yah girls, if you go out on a date, hold your own cash cos one day a guy will just pay his share and leave you to pay yours if you cant, its straight to the kitchen to wash plates lol

[quote author=Ms. Potato link=topic=746586.msg9031464#msg9031464 date=1314600852]Guys are always not good in taking care of their finances so guys should give 70% of their salary to their girls to keep so that when it comes to spending, the girl can take out the money to spend.

So yes, the girl should spend the guy's money [/quote]Wishfull thinking lol ,ATM are far m or effective these days

Temporary:
No, I was granted leave to enter on a temporary basis

Reason Im asking is if your passport is ceased, how then did they allow you into the country without detention? or did it mean e temporary permit was issued on a papper that allows you into the country and then you came back to them three days later you wnet back to pick your passport? people here need to know the facts so we can all advice you truely and wisely.
