Next time, take your time and arrange your documents with necessary headings before you submit your visa application.
For in person interview, package your appearance and look "take away" in a nice corporate suite for men and flowing gown for women. Be audible and exudes confidence when you are talking.

Labor party should stop campaigning in areas that are already considered their strongholds. They should focus their scarce resources on opposition strongholds to grab some undecided voters in those opposition strong holds.

Labor party are spending so much time in areas that are already considered their strongholds. Campaign should be strategic and targeted.

The man is seriously under panic. He is afraid that APGA candidates in the next coming election would be defeated. The flag off is more of a campaign for APGA candidates than real commissioning. You won't see those bulldozers by next month. Soludo has not completed any single project since he was elected.

I love the way Airtel mentioned that MTN marketing slogan. "What are we doing today".

Adeleke won't survive this. He is a gonner. The odds are starked against him. He is culpable on the two count charges up for determination. The tribunal had earlier agreed with Oyetola on the issue of over voting and certificates forgery. However, I don't know if the judges were right on over voting.

But the tribunal is funny. You are aware of the certificate forgery. But you acquitted him on the charges because he had acquired other certificate that still could not be proved. Forgery is forgery even if you later acquire another certificate. This case will set a precedent. So, the appeal judges should thread with caution and allow justice to prevail. Let's not be bias because of our political affiliations.

LET HER GET ONE OF HER RELATIVE FROM BOTH SIDE,OR SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TRAIN ANY BODY?

Honestly, we don't have. We explored all options. Most of the young relatives from both sides seems ok and are living with their parents or running their own show. Only my sisters kids, who are grown ups helps when universities are on strike or vacation

nakoks:
Please tell your sisters to back down and leave her as she has her reasons which are valid.

My nephew and nieces goes there once in a while to help, especially when universities are on strike. The last strike relieved her a lot as my sisters sent their kids, who were on strike to stay with their grandparents

I don't know why having domestic servants like drivers, gateman or cook dey fear me, just like my mum. My mum has refused all pleas from my sisters to have nanny and driver to help her in taking care of my dad. My sisters have done everything to persuade her to accept nanny and driver to help her with domestic chores while she takes care of my dad, who is recovering from sickness. She refused and has continued to do all by herself.

Her reason being that as old couple, they are vulnerable to any nanny's and driver's bad intentions and wouldn't want to harbour a stranger in her home at this age considering the constant stories of nanny's murdering their aged madam and disappearing.

This event happened in Wheatbaker hotels, Ikoyi. They all came in honour of AIG Imoukede foundation. It happened around December last year. Atedo Peterside was supposed to be in that group picture but he was grossly engaged in a discussion with a foreign diplomat that graced the occasion.

I haven't stepped out of my house since the scarcity started

Bruxxels:
The United States is providing subsidies to its manufacturing industries, making production costs cheaper than in other countries. This puts European companies at a disadvantage, potentially leading to a trade deficit and having a negative impact on the European economy.

Excellent!

You got

Europe never see anything!!

As the sanction on Russian continues to bite the Russians, the Europeans are also feeling the heat.

The impact of falling standard of living and high cost of living is making lots of Europeans to curtail their spending.

Disposal income is falling within the EU as cost of living soars.

Yet, US that is prolonging the war is not affected by the impact of the war. EU countries are the most impacted.

Punch is funny: Major General Muhammadu Buhari. Punch said that they will be addressing him as major general Muhammadu Buhari instead of President Muhammad Buhari because of his undemocratic tendencies and they are living up to that

Electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, labourers, mechanics, rewire, dispatch rider, carpenters etc. Most of them have one thing in common

Dirtyyansh:
Chief, evening.
I would love your response on this subject although it is totally different from the comment you made.

My 30yr old younger brother has been in a relationship with a lady, an auditor at a big four firm in Nigeria.
He recently reached out to me that the lady put in long hours at work, sometimes get home by 10pm, sometimes 12pm and he is not sure if he would be able to cope with such work-lifestyle.
My question is: have you got anyone who married a big 4 female consultant ?
What has their experience been like?
Would you advice him to continue the relationship or look for a family oriented woman?

Hello, I have seen lots of them got married to big four ladies. The hours are usually long, especially if she is in audit ie assurance department.

One thing is sure: the lady must be a very smart lady, conservative, intelligent, hardworking and ambitious to have made it to big four. These are the hallmark of some of the ladies that works with the big four.

I will advise your brother to continue with the relationship. Long hours should not be a show-stopper in the relationship. Big four is a great learning environment for anyone. It would be a matter of time, she would secure another higher paying job in another company or even take the Canada route if japa is on the card. Big four staff are always upwardly mobile because of their training and experience. They are usually snapped by others after putting in two to five years.

Let your brother not mind the hours and move on with the lady if he loves her. The future reward is far higher than any current inconvenience.

All the very best to him!

So sad!

Loosing opportunities because of one's physical disabilities is always painful.

This should be discouraged in Nigeria. Sorry and pick yourself up.

You simply can't keep up with lies. You will tell another lie to cover up the previous one until the bubble burst. Be plain and truthful always. I don't know the reason behind age falsification in Nigeria. It's so common. People forget that they celebrated their birthdays in the past when they were younger, reflecting their true age. As desperation starts in the later years with unaccomplished goals, falsification of age sets in.

Anyway, she has passed the message. Don't know why some people hates hearing that people should go and collect their PVC and vote wisely. For some politicians and their idiotic supporters, people should not collect their PVCs and they should not vote wisely. Rather, they should vote foolishly as it would favour rogue politicians.

I keep saying this: Many children in Nigeria do not know what it means to be a child. Most of them have never experienced childhood, have a happy moments, smile and be pampered like kids.
I am boiling deep inside me right now. Those two idiots should not be released. They should be made to be providing financial assistance to the welfare or whoever is going to take over the kids.

Men, please watch how your wives treats other people's children. Don't remain silent and unconcerned. You are culpable by your silence.

I am off the rat race and toxicity. I work for myself and take my decision myself. The best feeling ever!!

It is not easy o as you may not be able to earn the same money you were earning while working. I took the risk in 2016 and no regret at all.

No sadist to report to, neither do I have to put up with any sadist colleague. Anyway, I never had any sadist or toxic work environment when I was working in companies. - I think I was fortunate to work in an environment that discourages toxicity.

My decision to be on my own was purely for freedom and to do things my way and at my own time and pace.

I am surprised at the comments here by some men. If you dont want to upgrade your wife, na you sabi.

I have no worry at all about upgrading my wife. As long as I am not dependent on her for sustenance, I am ok with upgrading her.

In fact, at the moment, I am making an arrangement for a special upgrade for her. I want her to take over the affairs of the family expenses in the future because I am going to retire on time and take care of myself and enjoy my life.

The three places I worked when I was in full time job were gotten after applying with my CV.

However, since I became an Independent Consultant, I have not been given any assignment based on the application submitted. Everything has been through referral, friends, former colleagues, former employers and my alumni association network.

As a consultant, it would be difficult to be hired based on your experience or previous jobs. This is what I have observed in Nigeria.

Everything is about referral (Ima mmadu) - connection and recommendation. I have stopped submitting quote to any consultancy role that I dont have any connection.

We were lucky to enter the Corporate World as Management Trainees/Executive Trainees/Graduate Trainees

No experience required. We passed through classroom and induction training for six months in 2005/2006

This is the best thing that could happen to any recent graduate - To be hired by a multinational or any good company as a graduate trainee after the rigorous SHL/Aptitude tests and interviews.

Your career will be well-planned and structured. If you are good, you rise through the ranks and gain the experience in the company. After five or eight years, with rich experience as a subject expert in your field, you could transfer your services to another company with a higher pay.

However, if you are unlucky to enter through the trainee-ship route, you will just be left with unstable jobs - hopping from one man business to another. Some could still be lucky to horn their skills in lesser known companies and develop great competencies that would enable them to break into their field with bigger industry players.

There is nothing wrong with borrowing. When I was in the banking industry, I fought for my bank to approve N3.5m for my cousin in 2009, who was struggling in his business at Tradefair complex. Within a period of one year, he paid off the loans and interest and scaled up his business big time. He is doing extremely well now, with two personal houses at Amuwo Odofin, Lagos. He doesn't joke with me as I was instrumental to his success.

However, in Nigeria, the value for money borrowed is nothing to write home about. The value of physical projects and what the loans were used falls short of the total loans.
Most of all these gigantic loans were used to build public toilets, low quality primary health centers, recurrent expenditure and white elephant projects.

Environmental and Climate Change Modelling

This is to aid my chances with recruitment as a consultant with international development institutions committed to environment and Climate change

Nigeria, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have the same thing in common. High population with fewer opportunities. Reason why most middle class people in those countries are migrating in droves to Western countries

The worst nightmare of any graduate - to live in Nigeria without any sustainable means of livelihood. If you don't manage your unemployment condition well in Nigeria, you may fall straight into depression.

I used Flywire to process my tuition payment. I used the payment ID to apply for Form A. I have been waiting since October for Form A, but it has not yet been approved. I got a mail from Flywire that the payment window has expired and the payment closed. They said I should create a new payment. But that would generate a new payment ID, and I have already used the initial payment ID in my form A application. Please advise on what to do. I asked and they said the payment deadline can not be extended.

Gurus in the house please advise. I have been waiting since October for Form A.

Hello, my wife is about to begin her Form A application for payment of her school fees. Does she need to generate payment ID from Flywire?

Her school provided Flywire as one of the means through which school fees could be paid. However, we want to process her school fees payment via Form A. So, an ID still need to be generated from the Flywire Portal in completing the Form A?

Thank you.

What becomes the fate of the young children in a country without social protection for the most vulnerable

Another cash out for the traditional rulers and chiefs. The last payouts that shell did, some ordinary people got as much as N20m, which many of them used to buy jeeps, Spyder Toyota and Tundra offloads cars. Withing one year, some families have squandered their millions. Some natives even came back from abroad to claim their own share from the payout and yet the community still lacks basic amenities..

mrnatural:
Good morning and Merry Christmas All.

My wife intend to apply for social works program but it seems most of the portals/admission deadline are closed for September 2023 intake.
I want to know if their are any credible schools that their portals are still open in which one can apply for a social work program (Msc specifically).

Than you all for the assistance on this platform.

Social Work, Social Service Worker, Child and youth Care, nursing and all other health and Human services programs fills up quickly because of demand. They are generally regarded as highly competitive with limited enrollment. It becomes even more competitive and difficult if you are an international student.

Some schools in Canada don't take foreign students in their health and Human services programs. As a foreign student, if you try to apply, you will see it as "closed" when in actual sense, it's much open but only to domestic applicants.

Not discouraging you, but it would be hard to see any September 2023 admission to social work that is still open by this time. It may be open in their website but they have received huge numbers of application already. If you are not in a haste, you can try January 2024.

If MSc does not work, you can consider the 2 year diploma program in social Service worker offered by colleges, which is still competitive. Some have also closed to international applicants for September 2023.

Good luck!

The man cashed out big time under Buhari with their evacuation of stranded Nigerians abroad contract. RIP
