The only Business environments worth nothing there are

*Mechanic Workshops
*Hotels
*Supermarkets

Isn't that where Chivita is? There's even a big pharmaceutical company as you go further inside.

Hi,

I got my Canadian visa through an agent and it took almost a year. PR though. I only responded because someone said most agents cannot get a visa.

There definitely is a slow down because of the covid issue. I'm sure there are ways you can check but it is highly unlikely (not impossible) that there would be fraud at the VFS.
Good luck sir

Well, the only the agent did for you was typing in your data. You still did IELTS, you collated your documents, you still went for your biometrics, you still went for your medicals, etc. So I just wonder why people pay agents hugely when the agent isn't doing anything other than read the process online and tell you what next to bring; something you could also do. Glad it works for you though, but I'd advice others to do it themselves.

Moreover, yours was PR. For work permit, the guy needs a valid job offer. How many Canadian companies recruit from Nigeria? Let's just hope the agent has the connection of a registered company in Canada enlisted in the international employment scheme. Cause if he used a fake proof of employment, even the biometric the guy did would amount to nothing.

I wish he will just take the Passport and keep his mouth shut, while making use of it.
How Nigerians have come to lack shame this much, still baffles me.
Some will even be celebrating that they are now married to one ugly, Old White woman or imagine Black women who celebrate toning their skin color white?

He feels he has won the Lotto Jackpot or is it not these racist Westerners that gave another Black man Paper?

Yeah, I understand why the post would be considered very shameful. He was probably just excited or just want to be recognised as someone dual citizenship. Whichever, that's where fate has kept Africans.

Oga if Egypt give me their citizenship. I go thank God and jakpa. Sabi you dey Nairaland, see number of bad news wey Dey only today, ok multiply am with 365 then raise am with power 3, becoz more are coming in the future. Na that kontri u want?

Baba God answer my prayer this kain time next year make I Dey one of this European country they read nairaland

I'm not disputing your stance. I don't have the right to do that cause I don't live in Africa myself. I'm only saying it's sad it is what it is.

I don't really know why people (both theists and atheists) feel the need to go online and call others out. Though belief can be indoctrinated over time, it's hardly ever forced; calling out one another wouldn't lead to anything. An atheist who feels the need to always call out or criticise religious people isn't different from Christians who go around feeling superior and better than others or Muslims who think it's okay to hurt people in the name of Mohammed. On the other hand, a theist who feels the urge to always prove atheists wrong is most likely just feeling insecure in his own belief. It's understandable if these arguments come in specific scenarios where there's a clash of interests. In that case, the issue at hand would be the focus. Otherwise, I'd say live and let live.

Just an opinion.

Guys, my brother has been trying to pay his school fees for a while now but the Form A stuff is just hanging. No feedback, nothing. He has missed the first payment deadline already and the grace period will soon expire.

NotGej:
Must he share everything going on in his life?

I sometimes wonder why people have the obsessive compulsion to disclose everything going on in their lives.

It is beyond me.

It's their lives to live. Just live yours.

Lol... I was smiling and crying. Happy for him, sad that after all these years, Africans still celebrate being citizens of anywhere other than Africa. I wonder how a foreigner would react to this post that clearly portrays the supremacy of the western world. It's like we shouldn't even be complaining when these guys see us as inferior cause nothing screams "we are inferior" more than posts like this. Yet it's not the guy's fault. God help us.

Has anyone seen the series called 3% ?

He did 7 years ago and did again in recent time. Just imagine how old that girl was 7 years ago. I don't know why people like pretending like they don't know the difference between good and bad.

Can't you just do without labeling the boy?

Isn't that illegal?

I read it was a disabled woman that fought with his mum not his mum. Not sure what to believe again.

chatinent:
Lol.

I sent it for free o.

Well, did you check signatures?

It's cool on it.

Seen it. Thanks man.

The new font isn't bad really.

Lol... I missed the "b" in "nab" and the title became a perfect pidgin sentence.

chatinent:
How much?


Browser: Opera.

Bros, you don open market immediately?!

WordpressPhysco:
I like the font. Very soon we won't know what the old font looked like. Such is life.

I need pictures of the old font to add to my collection for the internet museum I'm creating!

I legit thought something was wrong with my phone, it happened like 15mins ago.

Me too.

Majority don't return. Knowing a few people who did so doesn't mean "people return from Canada after getting their PR". But yes, some do and there are many reasons for that:

1) Canada is one of the few countries if not the only one that approves your PR even before you leave your home country. Therefore, many people who are not yet ready to migrate go for it ( cause the process favours younger people) and then return home to continue their lives till they are ready.

2) Getting a job in Canada (or the western world) as a PR card holder and living in Africa is your fastest way to becoming a multi-millionaire. This is because of the exchange rate difference. Therefore, many people whose works are remote (as are majority of them these days) don't see any reason why they should keep spending in dollars while they could go back to Africa and live like kings with just a percentage of thier income.

3) For some, it has always been the plan. Not everyone wants to live abroad. They'd rather stay close to their friends and families. But then again, they need the PR card in order to secure an alternative home for themselves outside Nigeria. With thier PR cards, they can also do all forms of investments here in Canada

4) Maybe they got a better job offer back home. Remember, it's economic migration for many of us and not just fun. It means we're aiming to make more money. Nigerians that come here are very educated and experienced. Adding Canadian experience to thier CV's makes them more attractive to the labour market back home. When a such persons eventually land a big job in Nigeria and does calculations (income vs expenditure) only to realise he'd save much more in Nigeria, he might decide to dare the consequences and move.

4) Like someone pointed out already, some didn't just do thier research well. Canada is a very beautiful country with nice people and job opportunities. But it's not a perfect country and migrants must make sacrifices. Apart from a few of us in tech, med, etc., most migrants don't easily start off with senior roles. This means they have to sacrifice their years of experience! Again, living alone in a country where you don't know anyone is emotionally draining in the beginning. Let's not even talk about the cold. It therefore makes perfect sense why some of these people decide to go back home afterwards.

In summary, people move for many reasons and it's not peculiar to Canada. The same thing is applicable to the US, UK, etc. It's only more obvious with Canada cause of the shorter time it takes to get one's PR/citizenship here.

My opinion.

Show regards for your audience by editing your work. Sometimes, quality costs nothing but a couple of minutes.

Nairaland men behaving like teens. You aim to undermine everything a woman goes through as if it makes you a better you. Africa has a very long way to go. So crude.

ygowon:
I also suspected they arranged the stuff. See how they all left the two of them in the room. See how the girl did not border to move to another room when there is a visitor. They probably planned it though

Yes, and they also planted the idea in his head. You guys are just incorrigible.

This is a cooked up story but assuming it's true, I'd say the man is extremely wicked. Even if the results were accurate, what reason on Earth does he have to hit the kids?

You've put up a fight already. You've done your bit. You've shown how brave you are. It's time to let it be. There's nothing to prove here. Don't drag the grave with the dead. Remember, there's only a thin line between bravery and stupidity.

Nice. Everything he said was spot on!

A child that will definitely turn out well will turn out well regardless of his environment. Nigeria has a habit of encouraging promiscuity amongst males, but Rema is saying that's not for him! He also didn't argue with those calling his song childish, he only asked for time to get better. It means he's heard them and he's working on it. He sincerely wants us to understand that he's only human. He even went as far as asking photographers to stop editing his pics to perfection.

Please, how can I become someone's fan without listening to his songs cause I'm liking this guy already??

Well, yes. The same attention. Boys should be held responsible for thier actions, criticized when they sleep around, called out when they cheat, etc. This idea of not seeing anything wrong with whatever a man does with whomever while strictly policing women is causing a serious social imbalance. Even kids now believe they can get away with anything cause "boys will always be boys". We make it seem as if having se.x is a boy's birthright and therefore, they should be happy and proud when they get it from whoever. This makes it difficult for them to complain when it comes from molesters.

Lol... mad people's thread.

Lol... Nigerians are just unbelievable. Would it have made any difference if the flag was more complex? Are you guys kids? Dudes, even if it's just a plain white cloth, the fact remains that it was his idea. His idea and interpretation of those colours were adopted by the nation. That's a big deal.

The police arrested many people including Nigerians but trust Nigerians to make it about themselves. It's like we always like to be in the spotlight whether good or bad. Lol.

farem:
A harmless question was asked and you can provide any answer but this epistle.
Go ask them ; many of their junior ones are still being helped by contracted home teachers when they are still idle, doing nothing. It boils down to the fact that, they can't really/successfully prepare their junior ones for common JS 3 (Junior WAEC)

How many application letters have I received from them? The worst comes when you ask them to write it in your presence- It is not about speaking English. That doesn't require a bit of education to come by

Lol... you called his answer an epistle while your response has more words. His answer was straight to the point. He answered and backed up his answer. You may not agree with everything he said but you didn't have to downplay his response cause of that, just give your own argument.

OP, it's cool you want your child to have a cut of the tech industry. But please, don't be overly persuasive/forceful about that cause that will only make him hate it. You can only encourage him and expose him to certain things but at the end, let him take the decision. It's his life, you can't live it for him.

Now, all those shouting C, C++, Python, etc. must be new generation programmers who learned programming as adults. They already had the brain capacity to understand complex concepts, and most importantly, they didn't have time for a detailed gradual progression. However, anyone who learned programming as a kid can tell you nothing beats QBASIC as a tool to introduce kids to coding. Remember, the aim is for him to love it. He must, therefore, be fascinated by it and not see it as a task. QBASIC was created just for this. The verbose nature and the use of almost full sentences makes it intuitive and easy to flow with. Of course, the language is not used in production, but that's not what your kid should have worried about now. Once he starts thinking like a programmer at that age, no language would pose a problem for him. Remember, programming is more about problem solving than the language syntax.

It would have been great if you had a developer at home to guide him. But in the absence of that, you can always put him in a school where computing is taking seriously as a subject. Get him a desktop PC and also get him fancy QBASIC books (another reason you should go for QBASIC as you hardly get these kinda books for other languages). And finally, pretend to be interested too. This was all my parents had to do for me. I was introduced to QBASIC at the age of 12 in schools. I practiced at home with my oversized desktop, and it didn't take long before I started writing other languages. When it was time for uni, I didn't think twice before going for Computer Science. There's nothing as beautiful as being so sure one's career choice/path. Gladly, I'm a software engineer today who has worked in different countries in Africa, Asia and North America where I presently reside. Still grateful.

@Mamaab

In what world is this justifiable? Why are Africans so crude? What makes the people embarrassing him the custodians of mankind? Why can't Africans just learn to let people live??
