Haalland deserved that award more. Winning the world Cup should not just be the only yardstick. Someone that one a domestic treble and champions league should be in a poll position to win the Balloon award.

Kai, I feel for this man. Honestly, he overdid the celebration. He could not control himself. Even the player he kissed testified against him.

Now tell me why naira won't lose value and dollar gains in value if we could be using or needing almost $2m everyday to pay school fees on our children to school abroad whereas the same service is available here.

Apart from needing over $1m weekly to import hair attachment only not to talk of food items, etc. Our middle class craving for foreign things are majorly part of the problem of Nigeria.

The moment the country (Nigeria) bettered the life of some people and made them middle-class that can save up to 10milion naira, they ditch the nation and forget the nation that made them and face the nation that colonize them. This life is funny

Some important points made here...….once your status changes from lower class to middle class, your taste bud changes as well. Most importantly, lots of middle class Nigerians are no more seeing future for their children in Nigeria and fears that their children may not have the same opportunity they had as things get even worse..... reason why many middle class are taking the "japa" route and re-establishing their families in other countries.

Well, there are limited pathways and nothing is promised , for those who are interested here is a video released this week by the immigration minister . Students are only aware that there are limited pathways when they entered canada. This has called for concerns especially by the indian population here asking the minister questions since they stopped their CEC canadian experience class draw which was what students hugely depended on to transit to PR. The minister promised to announce fresh pathways for those who are already in. Some in Atlantic provinces get PNP but that is also getting tighter now and requirement is getting tougher. This is because as of 2023 over 1.8million temporary residents entered canada within 2 years.

I have uploaded the video here , You can watch his speech below .like and subscribe.



All the best to everyone

The situation is becoming dire. Almost 830k international students will be out of status if urgent pathway is not created. Indian students have been protesting about their current situation, where most of them have ran out of status. My relative that got to Canada since July hasn't seen any job yet. Course work and assignments, coupled with Canadian lifestyle is taking a toll on her.

I feel for Onana. The guy go dey talk, " which kind wahala be this" ? Since he joined Manchester United, he has been under pressure. The fans patience is running out and they will soon ask for his head.

Heheehe!! For the man's wife to be the Complainant, I knew that the man was done.

For someone like his wife to testify against him, the judge would gladly jail him.

Finally, for the wife to be the complainant and witness, the marriage was "shaking" and that may have contributed to the wife wanting to "finish" off the man. Sad that a medical doctor ended his career just like that. Dont play with Lagos public prosecution department or the department that deals with child and marital abuse. Lagos state is very strong in that area - you will be prosecuted till you get to jail - no mercy. There was one man that the wife brought to the police station with the help of family and domestic abuse department of the Lagos state government. The man hear shege for police cell before the wife started pleading again for the release of the husband.

It is always shocking to me for a man not to find out that a child is not his by observing some OBVIOUS characteristics in a child.

You saw the birth of a child; carried that child; saw the child grew under you; saw the child cried; you saw the child's hair strands; you saw the child's dentitions, jaw and ear shapes; you saw the behavior of the child. In all these, you did not notice any of your traits, my brother, you are careless, ignorant and not observant. You should have been put on enquiry if you did not notice some similarities and not wait till the child grows to teen or adult stage.

May looking at my kids, gives them away easily - as a man, there are certain characteristics you look for in a child to determine if he or she is yours. Look at the hair strands, the tooth, especially the canines, the ear and jaw and finally certain characteristics of the child like even the way he or she smiles, toes, nails and certain behavioral tendencies. I see myself in my kids without even blinking, I see my sisters way of behavior and characteristics in my daughter - there are many similarities to help you draw conclusion about the paternity of a child if you are involved in his or her live and very observant.

This guy was just under rated during his time - I wondered how his rating would have been if he was from Europe or South America. One of the most skillful players in the world. Sad he did not win African footballer of the year or any major individual award.

I saw it coming. Aljazeera and Euronews are my favourite news channels because of their focus on documentary news reporting, which I like so much. However, they are always pro-arab against Israel or US interests. I have watched how they have been reporting the Gaza war with emphasis on the Palestinian casualties. Their coverage of Israeli casualties are sparingly done and puts more emphasis on making the viewer see Israel as the aggressor. Nevertheless, they remain my number one news channel.

Thank you so much for your response.I have a bachelor's degree in MICROBIOLOGY and not nursing.Should I still go for a diploma in practical nursing or PSW?Does it show career progression in this case? I'm so sorry for the numerous questions.Thanks alot.

It would be difficult to convince the VO to grant you visa to go and do PSW. Go for practical nursing. Your O'level grades and your B.sc degree grade in Microbiology will be the determinants for getting the practical nursing diploma.

Hi everyone,

I want to apply for a course at St Lawrence College but the course will be offered at Alpha College which does not offer PGWP. I was made to understand that Alpha college is affiliated with St Lawrence College and after completing the program, I will be able to qualify for PGWP because St Lawrence college will also give me its certificate.

I don't know whether someone has been in this situation before and he or she is able to apply for his or her PGWP. Please advise.

Avoid Alpha College at all cost. 700 Indian students could not start school as the school over admitted their capacity given to them by St. Lawrence. It was a very big issue. Go and read about. It is in the news

Thank you so much for your response.Would you advice I go for the diploma in practical nursing or should I go for th accelerated 2yrs Bsc nursing program even though I have a degree before.Pls which of these show career progression.Thank you.

Go for practical nursing......the accelerated 2 years degree nursing is even more competitive, and in some cases, reserved for PR holders and citizens. Both the practical nursing and accelerated degree still show career progression as long as you have your Nigerian bachelors degree in nursing and you are working as a nurse. Let your SOP do the job of explanation. However, know that gaining admission into the nursing school in Canada as an international student is one of the most difficult. Most bachelor degree nursing holders in Nigeria enters Canadian schools as PSW, Palliative care nursing student and other nursing areas before transitioning to full nursing education and practice.

It is too late......before election, Tinubu would have been disqualified but after election, no way. It is a pre-election matter and would be thrown out. Finally, I doubt if supreme Court would admit any fresh evidence that was not presented to the presidential election tribunal. If the supreme Court fails to admit any fresh evidence, the case is closed.

Is too late. The fresh evidence on forgery can't disqualify Tinubu now. It should have been brought before the election. The only option is to go to ordinary court and sue the president for certificate forgery. Unfortunately, ordinary courts will not entertain the case as you can't sue a sitting president that is covered by immunity. He can wait till 2027 to sue him so that he may not be able to seek for reelection. But, Tinubu, been a cat with nine lives must have learnt his lessons......he would go to Chicago State University and apply for the original of his certificate, which he would present to INEC for the 2027 elections.

You people should stop all these nonsense chest -beating.......always in an unhealthy competitive mode. Your concern should be on passenger traffic and not on the size of the run way. Anambrarians are still using the Asaba airport instead of the Anambra airport. Stupid political considerations have rendered that airport inoperative. The airport is only serving politicians coming to Anambra for one function or the other. Private citizens coming to Anambra uses Asaba because of its proximity to both Onitsha and Awka......wasted fund!

This kind of post is getting annoying here on nairaland. You were called to pick up a job where you submitted your CV without any form of interview On top of that, you were given an official car.....fairly tale stories. By the way, is N350k per month a good salary in Nigeria now?? It shows the level of attainment of the OP. May be for him, N350K is a big money. People are on N1m per month salary in Nigeria and still left the job and travelled. Peoples' choices and perceptions are different.

Nawao, and I am getting close to 23 hours of electricity every day - Ikeja Electric, una well done o!

Oga, you are a disgrace to the Catholic Church. Please leave and stop disturbing us. Imagine the boldness!!!! Disrespecting your diocesan Bishops because of what? Cardinal Okogie should be brought out of retirement and send to the East to discipline lots of unruly reverend fathers there . Most priests there feels untouchable......he should be excommunicated immediately......Ungrateful being. See someone that was trained by the church is here challenging his father to a wrestling match.

This is the problem I have with the church in the East. I may have to write to the faithfuls the same way St. Paul wrote to many faithfuls in the biblical times . Some of these spiritual fathers always behave like demi gods, disrespecting their diocesan Bishops. The Bishops in the east seems very weak before their reverend fathers. Once a reverend father starts gathering some "believers " to his side with one week day prayers or the other, he would start forming superman and invisible. I am not a fan of all these so called holy ghost fathers that keeps bringing disrepute to the Catholic Church.

Fathers Mbaka, Ebube Muo Nso and their likes falls into the categories I mentioned. People flock to all these prayer ministries because of the man made hardships imposed on us by the successive governments in Nigeria. You are aware that once most nigerians leaves the shores of this country to the countries were things work, they stop disturbing God.

These fathers needs to be put on check. You can't try any rubbish within the Lagos archdiocese. Bishop Adewale Martins will discipline you sharp sharp......no waste of time. He was brought up well by Cardinal Okogie.... a no nonsense clergy man. The church hierarchy in the east needs to purge itself of bad leadership and reform itself within so that the Catholic Church there should be in the way and manner it was set up by the Irish missionaries that built one of the most revered institutions east of the Niger.

So what becomes of this marriages when the men themselves couldn't even afford the pride price? More destitute and poverty will litter thesociety. It is better to be unmarried in poverty than be married in poverty. There are lots of social costs to the society when poor people keep getting married and breeding like rabbits.

My cousin, sir. I studied Biochemistry. He's a big man...me, I be hustler

If he is a "big man", why risk it to go and start low paying "hustle" without any end insight based on his limited education?

Can't he try the Canada route and use the wife as the principal applicant? If the wife is educated at the degree level, she could be the main applicant through student route while the "Oga" will be the dependent and face the hustle in Canada?

Having dropped out from school may be an indicator that he is not academically inclined and going through the rigorous academic exercise overseas may be challenging for him......studying overseas is not easy o for those that don't like book.....assignments and quizzes are many o.

Finally, if he is still insisting on studying, he can try career or public colleges and pick one or two year certificate or diploma programs in those colleges.....he should not try four year degree programs so that he doesn't get stuck. For me, I prefer the wife to be the main focus while he bankroll her since money is not an issue except if the wife is not a "book type" or that she is also a dropout. I have seen many business men that sponsored their wives and their kids relocated with wife and mother in law while "Oga" continued with his hustle in Nigeria and regularly visit them.....this is if "Oga" is sure of her woman o......there is a caveat o.

"Peter Obi should consider a career in evangelism, Abuja’s press conference needless."

Reuben Abati

Honestly, I do not know who advised Peter Obi to give that press conference. The man should have maintained dignified silence. He seems to be running from pillar to post, looking for one validation or the other; one sympathy or the other. He should just allow the court to do their things. He is too emotional and looks extremely weak in the way he has been carrying himself lately. He is yet to get over the election "loss." I am not a Tinubu supporter o before una attack me.

So, which aspect is he good at ? People with anger issues are not known to be good in any other aspect

They should free the young girls abeg

My guy wanted a violent party sex with a bang without knowing that he was not well

He must have died of cardiac or other related BP related ailment. Trust me, if it was in oversea, a good lawyer would be able to free those girls.

Children go through the worst of abuse in this country. I only imagine what kids in public schools go through in the hands of school minders that are paid to take care of kid's inconveniences, where there are no consequences for abuse. Private school owners may try to sanction staff that are misbehaving. But in government schools, there is nothing like that.... just continue doing any how. And if you see how they shout at these kids, you will pity them. I have seen that in Lagos. I have lots of public schools within my area and the child minders will be treating the kids as if they were adults, pouring their frustrations on them.

Rubbish!!!
Politicians have now informed us that year books and graduation photos means nothing. That you attended an institution is not an issue. What matters now is your certificate. As long as the certificate you present for official purposes was not issued by the body or authority statutory required to issue it, your certificate is invalid and fake. Even if you want, show picture of you and the school principal or the vice-chancellor. Year books and photos are not sufficient to authentic the genuineness of any certificate presented for official purposes.

This behaviour is very common with ladies on board. The air hostess will give them simple instruction, they will ignore and be forming woke. Totally disgusting......it shows our character. The same instruction would be given that passengers would be disembarking , row by row, you will see one stupid fellow from the rear stood up to disembark, despite repeated instructions on how to disembark.
