Health › Re: Coronavirus: Nigeria And Japan Sign $18.2m Deal by etrange: 3:04pm On Mar 04, 2020
Tomiwa69:
Just 18 million dollars between two Government and some zombies will celebrate over these.. When their junior Brother south Africa can boost of agreeing a deal worth $500m
There's nothing wrong with being against the government provided it does not take away your senses and make fo start thinking like a kid.

You're not even concerned about the possible looting that could take place. Your own concern is that the figure mentioned is not as big as what SA allocates to investments. You realise this this not a financial investment for Nigeria but an outright cost? So if the financial analysts evaluated the required services and decided $18M is what's needed, the government should say "no, we want to spend $500M cause South Africa spent that figure on something recently"?

If the government had spent that amount now, you'll still be here to call them out for senseless spending. Nawa o.

He's doing his job. He can't be in his bedroom and learn all he needs to know about the virus. Other countries send delegates too. If he doesn't go, you guys will still be here to call him names for it.

Besides, he is not sick. The quarantine is only a precautionary measure.
Health › Re: Coronavirus: Study Explains Why Men Are Affected More Than Women by etrange: 6:11am On Mar 03, 2020
Gnaeusmagnus:
Summary points (for the 'This article is too long' people)

1. Men have a relatively weaker immune system than women (women's stronger immune system may be due to the fact that they have estrogen, and also have 2 x chromosomes...X chromosomes carry immune factors)


2.Health behaviours...men more likely to be involved in activities detrimental to health than women. (Men eat, drink and smoke anything..leading to higher rates of lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes...which reduce resistance to the virus).

Men also are worse on personal hygeine compared to women (eg don't wash their hands regularly).which increases chances of infection
Thank you for this. Some have already turned it into an avenue to praise men and bash women as usual.

donbachi:
And she is presently in love with gay(bobrisky).
She's friends with Bob. She never claimed to be in love with her. Her post is not against gay people but against those who lure women into marriage despite their sexual orientation. Knowing you're not straight and still getting married to a lady is not fair to the lady. If you're bi, let your woman know so she'd decide for herself if she wants to proceed. Any marriage built on lies is bound to fail.

Lol... I believe a lot of people do. These songs you mentioned along with Earth song, They Don't Really Care About Us, Beat It, etc.. are worth listening to over and over again. I sometimes feel we (I and MJ) think alike. Lmao.

And yes, I listen to his songs (including the very old classics) almost every other day.

Going by my observations at Murtala Muhammed Interactional Airport (Nigeria), Cairo International Airport (Egypt) and Toronto Pearson International Airport (Canada), I think Egypt has the best precautionary measures. I'd excuse Nigeria cause I was exiting the country but I expected more from Canada.

We will defeat this beast!

Thanks for this tip. Just a quick question, how is the exam conducted. Is it conducted like DELF, TEF or TCF. Thanks very much again.
Yeah but a much more diluted version. You call, book an appointment and go whenever you get a slot. The person assigned to you will just introduce himself or herself, explain the process and give you either the writing or the reading part to start with (it's your choice) and you'd move to the other once you're done. The reading/writing is usually done in a small hall where you'd see others doing thier own English or French tasks. After this, you'd return to the officer's office where they'd just start a nice conversation with you in French and before you know it, the speaking part is over. Then you'd listen to some audio clip on the officer's PC and answer questions based on the clip's content. That's it. He or she will give you your scores right there and you both will discuss the nearest training centre that has classes for your level. There are online classes too. It's free, pretty straightforward and easy. There's no pressure too cause the actual aim is to know from where to start teaching you.

Travel › Re: All TEF Candidates For Canada Immigration, Let's Meet Here! by etrange(op):
Hi everyone!

Glad to see the positive spirit here.

I just want to encourage everyone to hang in there regardless of how tough it seems to be. Studying French has multiple advantages asides the immediate obvious one of increasing your CRS. Take this from someone who's been keenly following the Canadian labour market trends. As a software developer, I realised there are many people with my skill set here; multilingualism instantly became my selling point. To better appreciate my point, take your time to review most of the job boards in Canada. You'll see that roles that require multilingualism pay up to 20% more than their monolingual counterparts. Most of these roles are in Quebec though but that shouldn't be a problem if you take steps to manage the expectations of the prospective employers.

How do you manage their expectations? Do your French language evaluation with YMCA on arrival. It's just like any other French exam evaluating your strength in the four areas of language studies and it's free. Each area is graded on a scale of 1 to 8. With this result, you'd be referred to government sponsored institutions where you could continue your classes for free. But asides this, you should always mention this result to a prospective employer when interviewing for bilingual roles. This helps them place your level accordingly without over expecting thus reducing the pressure on you.

Regardless of the province you choose to land in, do not close your eyes to these bilingual jobs. If you could move from Africa to North America, you can always move from Ontario/Alberta to Quebec.

Wish you all the very best!

Congratulations!! Sorry about your health, glad it's restored now.
Just thinking out loud, weren't you entitled to some compensation by the airline for your damaged bag/goods? I can't imagine "settling out of court" at naija airport because of these precious food items, and end up having them destroyed 26hrs later in a strange land oo!
Thanks!

You are right. I was just too new and maybe too excited to be thinking of entitlement then. Lol
