CrimeRe: Nigerian Immigrant Stabbed To Death In Calgary by gentleiphy: 5:08pm On Jun 06, 2017

I don't care, I have enough research and data on ibo people and how they operate globally! I WILL NOT RULE OUT DRUGS!

He was not the only person around there, the truth on why he was selected should be investigated and will come out during the trial!

I seriously suspect drugs, he was either selling in that guys territory or a deal went bad!
[b][b]When people comment at times you know how they reason and think...you just read a whole lot people that knew this guy said about him and all you could spew out here is rubbish...you read he was a student in a college enrolled for his nursing program,you read comments from his instructors and you read he just left class about going home to go and meet his wife when he was stabbed and you read it was an unprovoked attack on an innocent man and you also read he came to this country 18 months ago,an engineer by profession and you sat down in your rotten home to spew rubbish from your ass...your own death story would be worse than that...if you reason with your brain and not from your ass you would also have read that the attacker is known to police as criminal who just moved from BC to Calgary...even if you so daft and too stupid the little brief timhortons gave about his relationship with this guy should have told you if he was a drug whatever ...

you called him a drug dealer and yet you used the language only drug dealers like you know..how do you there is a drug territory if you are not one...maybe the school where he just left is the drug territory and if you don't know let people that live in Calgary tutor you about where bowvalley college and the ctrain station platform is...city hall ctrain platform is at the entrance of the college where he attends class..so coming out from the school unto the platform is his drug territory abi..mumu

if drug is what you do..everybody is not like you...
i worked previously together with the deceased and know him better than what you spilled here..instead of sending your sympathy to the beareaved wife and 3 kids you are here talking rubbish..

Thanks for those here who showed concern and sympathy..we will keep visiting the family in NW..[/b][color=#000099][/color].[/b]

But one of my sales supervisor got 2 years visa and just left for U.S about 2 months ago,he is coming next month to pick his sonalso,we've been communicating,he is now working and he told me to come dat tins are okay once u have your papers.nnobody can predict d future of d company,tins are getting tougher,no company is recruiting now except. Poor condition of service
I want to quickly respond to what you just said,i followed your first question.if you want to truth about your intention to relocate with visit visa and settle down be it in US or Canada..bro your above sales supervisor has succeeded in feeding you with Alice in wonderland fairy tale.

He went with 2yrs visit visa,gotten a job as well as his papers under one month and is even coming back to pick his son?..thats not true bro.With visit visa you cant work at all both in Canada or US.Secondly to get the papers he mentioned even with marrying a US citizen can not be gotten within 1 month..be guided.

Bro you need visit visa to move with a whole family including your wife? and they told you there is a way they arrange papers...?i advise you to stay back in Nigeria and do as justwise and the others advised you,,apply for permanent residence of Canada or Australia or even New Zealand..as an illegal immigrant in America bro the sufferness you will subject yourself and family you will prefer to have remained in Nigeria,,,nobody send you here...nobody is ready to carry your burden and nobody is ready to take you in to his house when you have no place to stay unlike in Nigeria where at least an aunty or uncle will pity you small...

please don't go into a venture based on lies fed to you by your so called sales supervisor and friends brother..none of what they told you is true...they are all lies.

Before you ask me to shut up,have i been there? i live in Canada as a permanent resident

Called, complained and all that. He kept saying his mistake was he under priced. The guy is not even remorse at all. That is the worse part. He knew he couldnt deliver all he promised yet went ahead to promise and collected money, even requested for more money which we paid him, yet he failed his generation.
Sorry about your family planned christmas Holiday turned sour by this agent...I really dont know why we Nigerias find it hard to research and take time to do things by ourselves...we all ways see it that soemone somewhere with a laptop and a desk and chair can do it better...what can this agents do that you cannot do on your own..

to start with..hotel bookings are not rocket science...Expedia and Booking.com has been the most reliable and even tripadvisor without any initial deposits and can even be cancelled anytime...lets learn to DIY things na

secondly...tours can be booked by yourself too...all the the time i have been on vacation with my family,i booked all this mysell from the comfort of my home...Dhow cruise..dessert safari...burk khalifa..formular 1 in Abu Dhabi and all

again if you think you must use any agent for your dubai moves..please i advise you head to Emirates office in Victoria Island..they will get your the tour packages according to you budget and including meet and greet upon arrival..and once you settle down in your hotel..they send thier representative to come and propose to you different tours you may wish to be in and whichever one you choose be sure they dont disappoint 1 minute and the day of your departure they come to your hotel room door and place the exact time they will come pick you up to the airport..

Emirates has Emirate Holiday sub attached to the emirate flight which caters for your visa..flight and hotel and tour and they never give you any story cos once you pick any package according to your budget you are ready to fly and your visa is given to you at arrival by an Emirate Holiday staff who is also your meet and greet.
TravelRe: Naturalized US Citizens: Do You Get Treated/respected As A Native Born Citizen? by gentleiphy: 1:17am On Dec 31, 2016
lindaayim:
Sometimes i struggle with the feeling that i'm an american and also a Nigerian in america. when i say struggle, i feel certain jobs i apply for despite being qualified as a citizen is not given and at the end native-born citizens are preferred despite having similar or better training. i feel the accent thing no matter how much american u claim affects u a little bit. Some people still see you as foreign. Actually some americans don't even believe you are a citizen with full rights like them. feel free to share your opinions..
In my own opinion,i think the Americans-white and to some extent the African Americans even despise immigrants from other developing nations like Nigeria.However it doesn't make sense to give someone citizenship and then turn around to deny him or her some rights and jobs...I would say Canada is better in that aspect and reason being that Canada is a country of whole loads of immigrants so the federal job denials is not evident as the immigrants out numbered even the supposedly born Canadians...a permanent resident regardless of which country he comes from who has stayed up to 3yrs even without being a citizen can apply to the police force and get the job...

Hi guys.
Please, i need your advice.
I have been invited for Canadian and Australian PR. I am really confused as to which to pick.

I am an IT guy(Java, Web, ASP, C#, Android). I have eyes for Toronto or Melbourne. Married to a Pharmacist (female o) with one kid.

I have researched my eyes out and read everything there is to read. I still can't decide. I think I am even more confused.

I don't think I can afford to apply for both of them now (Buhari has not been nice embarassed).

For those that have done this before, what is your opinion.

BTW, I'm not afraid of cold weather, so its not really a factor against Canada.

Thanks
Bros go where you mind tells you...nobody helped you decide to apply for the two countries PR and i am sure you must have weighed a lot of things before applying...as for people who told you about making more money in one country then i must tell you that Nigeria is far better in terms of making money cos you pay no tax...and you have luxury of being noticed with your chicken change in naija...Pay,efficiency,social benefits,infrastructures are all the same in this two countries...both economy are good...medical is superb in Canada,child benefit support is superb in Canada same as Aussie...difference is Canada is cold Aussie is hot with snakes and kangaroo,Canada has warm from nearby US while Aussie is point of no return...Canada is multi-culturally diverse without racial discrimination..Aussie got that in excess...Canada has more countries to visit visa free as a Canadian passport holder more than Aussie..cost of living in both is high ...but in all naija still better pass o o cos even oyibo go hail you for street when you cross cotonou buy one small tokumbo car..and for naija you can pose for shoprite with the bread you went there to buy and people go snap you pixure post for linda ikeji..owambe dey naija e no reach Aussie and Canada...effizy dey naija wella bros...so compare and contrast

Hi Nairalanders
Please I have a question to ask on this forum...

I graduated wit 3rd class and right now I hope to relocate to Canada. I have a close friend who lives there,an accountant,a permanent resident already ,has a car and lives comfortably... Though a female and we have been so close and she has assured me of accommodation and all she's saying is that I should come first

My question now is with my cert,
how can I apply for a good job?
Do I need to present my cert over there or not?
What kind of visa do I apply for ?
Is it also possible for my to continue my studies while working,considering my grade ?
What are my chances ?

Thanks
To answer your question,if you want to get to Canada and hope to SEARCH for job then go to Canada the legal way,apply for permanent residence and get it then move if thats your dream.However i dont understand how someone you called a close friend and is living in Canada would just tell you to come first without telling you how to do the COME FIRST stunt.I must warn you that at times fellow Nigerians wont tell you how e be over there until you land without legal papers and then your woes starts..its not easy to reside in a foreign land without legal status and as for the connection you said the girl has to help you get a job..i wish you and her good luck with the connection slangs but Canada is not Nigeria...

Look before you leap...to own a car in Canada is not as hard as it is in Nigeria..students who work only summer jobs can afford to buy a car..so dont use that as measure of your girlfriends success...

I wish you goodluck in your relocation move.

Good talk with wisdom...Money is not permanent..it can be loads at the beginning of the marriage and nothing sometime in between.we always talk about money when it comes to marriage thinking that money is the answer to quality marriage and good marriage relationship.

I got married right after NYSC with a meagre N45k while my wife was in her 3rd year in the university.I lived in a shared one bedroom in Festac while i work in Apapa.I never acted big boy cos i knew where i was coming from.My wife then also understood that the future is more brighter and was contented with whatever i was able to provide to support her final years in the university.I was on that salary till she graduated and was posted to lagos to serve..after service she worked for 2yrs with a corporate organisation in VI but we had other plans as i never advocated for both husband and wife to be in paid employment in a stressfull place like lagos at least not for ladies who may also wake uo 3am to set out for work cos of traffic and come back same 11pm cos of same traffic..i felt it was too much for a lady to bear.And i asked her to quit to start up her own business...by then my salary has gone a little upto N75k and i saved up for the business.She started with just N400k in Trade fair complex dealing on designer perfumes and body care products ..this is over a 4yrs period after i started work and her 2yrs after her school.before 2years in the business she grew it up to own her own shop and was plying dubai and paris for her products and later had a brand name..

we started having vacation and holidays in dubai,south africa,Germany,italy,Ghana and UK,US to name a few...all cos her business was earning more than what i earn even in 2yrs put together...now the rest is history as we are now based in Canada as permanent residents while she still over see her business from Canada.

Not about how much but the potential and the hard work to make the marriage work and excell in watever income you earn before marriage.

[b]brother ? you are speaking to a man that has lived in america and england and i will say one thing, and you can take it how you want to take it, if i am extremely rich ? i would rather live in nigeria because i can carve out my own little heaven in nigeria. now if i am struggling or just managing ? then i may decide to live abroad. is it bad that you need to have money to be in heaven in naija ? yeah somewhat but the same can be said for america. me personally i lived in chicago and in chicago if you dont have money you will be in drug and gun infested neighborhoods but you need real good money to move to the rich suburbs like evanston and skokie etc. point being i rather be rich in nigeria than rich in america. shyttt imagine living in a place like lekki ? all the houses there are serviced meaning you get light and water 24 7 and all the apartments have tennis courts and swimming pools, and they have malls and huge supermarkets and lots of restaurants, even hard rock cafe and macdonalds and kfc, and you can order anything online from konga and jumia and they will deliver to your house and those stores have everything that is sold in america and britain. so you see ? naija will always be better than america or england but the only problem is you need some money to enjoy naija. and you dont get to deal with racism too. so naija wins all the time.[/b]
Ha this people una want make i talk again...ok..Sir Sukkot i tuale o o ..i dey salute...you really spoke well and with your vast knowledge about America and England it surprises me you talk about racism in those countries and forget about the same in Nigeria in another guise called tribalism which is more dangerous than the racism cos racism is people of different nationality with different skin colour but ours is same people..same colour..same garri and yam.Can a yoruba man be voted as a councillor in Imo state?..can an Hausa man vie for a governorship post in Lagos for being a Nigerian and not from the north?..can an igbo man enter an office where a yoruba man is the HR person and another yoruba man enter seeking for a job and the job is given to the igbo man not minding who qualified most?...do yoruba landords in lagos rent thier houses to the man from the east ?..why is our central goverment in abuja having issues of..the next president must be from the North,east south or west...do you know how many yorubas were killed in Kano after the sagamu hause yoruba riot? have you seen videos of how hausa butchered people from the other divide in Nigeria?have you witnessed any tribal/religious crisis in the north where the white man is left alone while a fellow nigeria in killed along with his family...have you not heard of quota system in nigeria where whether you sabi am or not na una turn...have you not heard of different cut off point in JAMB for different divide of the country?Victor Moses is hail and hearty today playing football in a country UK who took him in when his parents were killed in a Nigerian religious crisis..they didnt see him as black meanwhile his own people same black made him an orphan...today Victor Moses and his little kid brother will never want to settle back in Nigeria..i grew up in the North and witnessed many of the tribal/religious hatred killings where corpse littered the streets and pigs feasted in human decompose...black against black..brothers who sing national anthem together..

Again...if you say that the Nigeria you love and dream of is the one where until you are a billionaire you cant enjoy steady light except you live in lekki then i think we have a problem really.Or until you have money you cant have tennis court around you....hmmm...this are just common and basic things governments provide out of your tax payers money in other western countries which Nigeria also collects same tax without providing you same.Bro if you are happy living in lekki and feel good seeing others live in shanties in ajegunle and the poor suburbs then it means you enjoy Nigeria because you use your wealth to oppress the poor meaning in essence the good leaders to lead Nigeria out of the dungeon like Bollinger rightly observed is a long long thing if we all think living exclusively for us alone in Lekki means Nigeria is ok.

What an interesting jaw -jaw by Bollinger and Hardboy...both of you have a valid argument...home is home no matter how messy it is according to Hardboy and home should be fixed to look like the other neighbours beautiful and peaceful home according by Bollinger...hmmmm..

Our dear home country is a sweet place to be in with all the vibes,show of affluence..competition on extravagant spending to impress,super oppression by the rich against the poor..bad,greedy and wicked government leaders whose only imagination is to continue to under equip the poor masses thereby subjecting them to abject poverty and hopelessness,poor infrastructure,non existing medicare delivery system,lack of jobs for the many young graduates we half baked from our non functional education system.,no power supply to even encourage the local entrepreneurs...look at the faces of Nigerians what you see everyday on the street is despair and anguish reason many now find solace and hug both original pastors and the overwhelming fake churches..all in business to further extort from even a boli and groundnut seller on the streets..

A Nigeria where it is a crime to be poor because police will be your tormentor...a society where we do wrong things and when we succeed we call it being smart...run on red light we call it smartness...drive through one way and call it over sabi...all these are signature of a rotten society..how often we hear abroad of tankers and containers falling over human beings cos of poor maintenance culture both on the road and he vehicles involved...hoe often we see a truck without break,no headlamp,broken windshield..with the truck head facing badagry and the tail board facing Epe confusing even the road users as to which direction it is actually travelling to..

How often have we called an emergency medical ambulance and you see them appear trying to save a life?..how often do we have a fire incident and fire service arrives on time to save lives including properties...oyibo even save animals from burning houses to show you how they value life not just human but animals...how often have we graduated from universities in the time frame or duration of the stipulated study period...even after the graduation how long it takes us to get our certificates...

Home is home i agree..but when you as a parent can not provide your kids with flat screen tv with dstv subscription to run kiddies cartoon...your kids will never find your home fun and interesting to be rather you will always have cause to go over to your neighbours who have such for their kids to try to drag them home and which your kids will always tell their peers how they wish their parent are like dem bola papa and mama..flog them as you wish they will always run to their neighbours to watch the cartoon.Everybody loves a clean,sane and structured society.Nigeria in years to come is not yet ready to offer what western world has left behind 70yrs back..lets not deceive ourselves...since i was a kid i have been hearing..Nigeria will get there...which there?..when others are even overtaking us..its sad but true...

Countries plan for future generation,they know your one month kid and they have plans for the kid..Nigeria no even get plan for the adults talk less of the kids who they even wish they dont exist...if i lie go and check your public primary and secondary school and then compare with what the oyibos offer for their kids..we may claim we earn well in Nigerian but in actual sense we eanr nothing when you have a small health challenge you spend all you think you have made to be flown to india..south africa...Germany..US .Canada etc to seek attention..in essence what have you achieved with the money when in western world you have regular free medical check ups to monitor your health and any issue is tackled at inception rather than wait and all this are at your beck and call...

we do 40days prayer and fasting just to get entry visa to south africa and india..i dont want to mention the likes of US,Canada and Europe cos those ones na miracle when countries like Botswana get visas at will without any wahala and with little bank money in their accounts and when we even get the visa we go for thanksgiving and celebration..to go spend your money o o and snap picture with oyibo..some spend N3 million to N5 million to just go born for western world so that their kids will have hope of a better future..not even for the parents o o that gave birth to the kid cos they know nothing for the kid back home...

Now finally...what are the likes of Okonjo Iweala still doing in US with their kids...all the while she worked in Nigeria her kids were still in US..and after her tenure the good lady bade us goodbye and flew back to where things work...she made money while in Nigeria she should have moved back to Nigeria and then start battling with kidnappers and scary heartless society...Bollinger you are very right.

By the way before they say i never travel to oyibo country before so i wont be able to say how things work there...I live and work in Canada.
Nairaland GeneralLabrador Doctor Who Asked Woman If She Likes 'big Ones Or Small Ones' Suspended by gentleiphy(op): 1:33am On Sep 28, 2016
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — A Labrador West physician who asked a woman during a Pap test if she "liked big ones or small ones" has lost his medical licence for six months and must be chaperoned when seeing female patients for two years once he goes back to work.

A three-person tribunal established by the provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons found Dr. Adekunle Owolabi guilty Monday of four counts of professional misconduct after a six-day hearing earlier this year.

Four female patients had accused the Nigeria-trained doctor of making sexual comments, and of inappropriate hugging and kissing.

To resume his general practice, Adekunle must take a course on appropriate doctor-patient boundaries. He was also ordered to pay $75,000 in costs related to the investigation and disciplinary process.

In each of the four separate complaints, Owolabi was found to have shown a lack of respect for the dignity and privacy of his patients, constituting professional misconduct.

He has 30 days to appeal the penalties to the trial division of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador.

"He's very disappointed," his lawyer Paul Stokes said after Owolabi left without comment Monday. "But he understands the reasoning of the panel."

Stokes said his client has not yet decided on whether to appeal but looks forward "to following up with their penalties and getting back to work as soon as he possibly can."

Owolabi had continued to practise in Labrador West, voluntarily using a chaperone for female patients, as the disciplinary process played out.

Dr. Elizabeth Mate led the tribunal. Reading from its decision, she said comments Owolabi made to one complainant during a 2014 Pap test, asking if she "liked big ones or small ones," were "cavalier" and "unprofessional."

Mate found that Owolabi's steadfast denials of wrongdoing were "self-serving." Moreover, she described as "baseless" his counter-accusations against another patient whom he called "mischievous" and "a pathological liar."

Lawyer Ruth Trask, representing the college, had argued Monday for an eight-month suspension with a formal reprimand from the tribunal.

"This is taken very seriously," she said of the accusations, suggesting Owolabi had "a pattern of behaviour."

Stokes responded in Owolabi's defence that eight months would be "excessive." He proposed a suspension of three to six months, and stressed that his client's technical skills as a doctor were not in question.

Stokes asked the tribunal to put inappropriate comments, hugging and kissing in the context of far more serious possible sexual offences.

"This is a good physician," he told the panel at Monday's sanctioning hearing.

Owolabi turned his face away from media cameras as he arrived, and showed little emotion as the findings were read. At one point, he sat with his forehead in his hand before Stokes spoke a few words to him.

Owolabi's suspension won't be good news for patients who rely on him. A shortage of physicians in Labrador West has already been blamed for many residents waiting for emergency room care at the Labrador West Health Centre.

TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR MATES IN EGYPT, USA, FRANCE, PAKISTAN AND EVERY OTHER SANE COUNTRY. AS SOON AS THERE IS A MALTREATMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT ON A CITIZEN, WITHIN 24 HOURS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL TAKE TO THE STREETS FOR SOLIDARITY. IN NIGERIA THE CASE IS THE REVERSE.

AFTER THE MASSIVE CORRUPTION DISCOVERED IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, WHO WILL BELIEVE THOSE ANIMALS WILL STILL BE IN THAT BUILDING. A PLACE WHERE THE YOUTHS SHOULD HAVE LONGED OCCUPIED AND CHASED THEM AWAY.


SOME POVERTY STRICKEN INDIVIDUALS ARE STILL SUPPORTING PATIENCE JONATHAN CLAIMING OWNERSHIP OF THE $20M DOLLARS.


INSTANGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND NAIRALAND WON'T HELP. YOU ALL SHOULD STOP BEING CHICKENS AND GO OUT THERE TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS.[/b]
Good point with lots of sense..only if the youths will hear...but will Linda ikeji blog and Instagram allow them?

Hello, I'm new here. I'd be going to Canada in January to resume school. But I want to apply for a US visa and go to Canada from the US. How do I go about this? Thank you.
@ladyguinivere and others please help.
you have a student visa to Canada..that i understand.You will resume school in January 2017 in Canada..that too i understand...But is there any specific reason you want to enter US first before landing in Canada.Otherwise i would say as a student in Canada.you stand 100% chance of being granted 3yrs visit visa to US more than applying from Nigeria just because you have Canadian Student visa.The VO might look at why you want to pass through US when you can easily fly to Canada to resume your studies.

All the VO here in Canada needs to see is your enrolment document and student ID card and probably some term results sheets if you have done one semester.So do not fidget..land in Canada and forward match to Us embassy to collect your 3yrs Visa.

Which LIGHT Una don dey get? As long as this "light" gets DARKER as it is doing, the embassy will of necessity make adjustments with your light. If you are earning 600k for instance, your salary before now was about $3k, but it's now less than $1.8k. How much naira do you need to get regular tickets now compared to before for starters? Calm down oh. Good morning too!

Meanwhile @oga gentleiphy, the considerations are more than all those ties, even if such ties are a great advantage to an applicant. The potential immigrant assumption dimension you put in there is right. But then, it could be that there is an insincerity tag that is on you by them from your package. Are all your visas legit, have you been using them correctly, do you have a family member that has abused his/her visa with them, is there no misrepresentation in your package, etc?

You are normally good to go for a US visa issuance from your profile, really. But then, those little things we sometimes underrate could just be all they held against you, you may have fallen short in their unknown to us checks somehow, maybe. Do you know differences in your Canada previous application and that of the US affects visa applications? A confirmed immigrant application with one of the two embassies could/may affect your application with the other too.
I have never had an oluwole visa as regards the 'are all your visas legit part'...if most of my travels ate work related,vacation with family and conferences how would i go for oluwole visa..funny though.Then whether visas are used correctly is what i dont understand cos visa issued travel made..visa not overstayed.i quess this sounds like correct use.

Having an impending immigrant visa application to another country was never the issue cos that same impending immigrant visa was still on when after two weeks same US embassy issued business visa to go for the conference to which was initially denied.

@gentleiphy Congrats, I'm impressed with the way you analyzed the way the V.O sees us especially in 3rd world countries well you're not far from the truth and they believe we are all potential immigrant judging from Visa lottery application. Well as for your previous denied application I believe your body language is not encouraging maybe you're pompous,arrogant or timid.. it maybe any of these.

@mamateniola About light we may sometimes have light for 3-4 days and they will take it on the weekend which is very painful.. I believe the light situation is a little bit better
I wasn't denied because of any body language ..pompous,arrogant or timidness...like i said the questions asked would not even warrant you being arrogant or pompous cos the questions the visa officers ask are straight and not like you are having an argument about why you feel you should be given visa..so those assumptions are out of the way...so what happened when i went back after two weeks to a different visa officer who with smiles reminded me i was there two weeks ago and said sorry for bringing you back..and for starters i have never seen visa issuance as a do or die thing cos you might be denied last two months and no status change and still be given the next time you visit...and visas are just mere permission to enter a country and when they said Nah,you are not qualified to visit at this time its not the end of the world but because most of us see it as a gateway we always feel downcast....if your purpose is just for visit and come back and they deny you happily go home and try other countries for your vacation if its vacation you sort for.Meanwhile for people residing in countries that US sees as not potential run always...the visa officers are only concerned with your legal status and not even where you work,salary,married or single..travelled before or not..i know office cleaners in Nigeria with salary of 8k a month may never be issued US visa...but here everybody gets visa so long as you show proof of your legal status which is either a student,permanent resident,temporal work permit holders...Nigerian students in Canada here always are issued 3yrs visas..only what they need show is thier student ID cards...maybe sometimes semester results and thats it..nobody ask who is going to sponsor your trip.so it boils down to how they the visa officers percieve the countries in question.

I was just confused he asked why I wanted to go alone, I was like, why not? Can't somebody enjoy alone?
This holiday means alot to me. I have not had the opportunity to go for a vacation since 2014 because of my job.

This opportunity came because my workaholic boss decides to go on a vacation. A very good time for me to travel and spoil myself a lil. Its painful oh.

You know, I lost a friend of mine few weeks ago and after like 2 days of her demise, her family members couldn't wait, they started scouting for how to get her atm pin. We were really close, so, 2 of her siblings called me to ask if I knew the pin, like seriously?

This babe worked herself off and saved so much without spending lavishly...this actually inspired me to go for vacation, can't come and die and some useless people will now start eating from where they never sowed...

Can i re-apply? Or i should try UK? I must do sha go for vacation...lols
I think from my experience with the way the US embassy handles visa applicants,granting of visa and denials has something to do with the way they the US perceive the host country and its citizens on issue relating to absconding looking at the economic values and conditions of the country.They the Visa officers always use TIES not strong enough to convince them...some have opined its lack of travel history and some have said its salary you eanr some say its marital status.Many here followed when i was initially denied business visa to attend a conference which was then my first ever visit to the US embassy since i have no business going ever...needless to say i work in a good profession and in a good coy as well as having travelled to so many European countries( about 12),3 Asian..2 south American..Middle east and about 8 African countries both for work,vacation and conferences...however after the VO leafed all through my two passports and saw visas scattered all over and even mentioned that she saw i recently came back from Germany just 2 months prior to the coming to the embassy..she still denied me visa...i got out not angered anyway..but a letter was quickly sent to the US to the secretary general of the NGO that i also represent actively in Nigeria and they asked me to go back which i was lucky i got a new visa appointment date and went back and visa was given 2yrs...again prior to that interview i had already done my medicals to relocate to Canada as permanent resident with my family...my wife never visited the embassy in Nigeria for visa but she has travelled severally with me to other European countries...after 5 months of settling down here...my wife is back in school here she just decided to apply for visit visa at the US embassy here in Canada...when she go to the visa officer the only question asked her was how long has she been in Canada and she said 5 months and what she does presently she said a student of so so University...then her vacation city she said Los Angeles...the visa officer then with smiles said why wont you also visit Las vegas and get to see the new casino that was just opened..my wife smiled ad said maybe....visa was approved without any question more than what i just said and the following day Canada post sent her a mail to come pick up her passport with visa and it was 10yrs visa to expire 2026.Now i should think the visa officer knows that her status from being resident in Nigeria has changed and there is limited chance for her to stay back in the US when she has legal resident status in Canada.So i dont know why they the US always look at us from back home as potential run- aways. And the truth is that we always have genuine visa applicants who only want to visit and come back to their jobs as they know its hard to even try to work with visit visa in the US...however i still commend the likes of ladyG and others for always giving brush ups to a lot here on how to get things right even though the visa officers still hold the key to whatever decision they want to make.

MamaOO:
Your first sentence is not true at all. You get a two year US visa no matter where you apply from. Even Canada. So far you're presenting a Nigerian passport, the visa reciprocity rules between Nigerian and the US (which by the way is 2 years) stands, regardless of the location of application.

Remember, a permanent resident of a country is not a citizen of that country, he/she remains a citizen of their original countries but just has the right to live in the country that granted the permanent residence.
i disagree...a Nigerian permanent residence in Canada gets 10yrs visa if approved and that is it..i have 2yrs visa from Nigeria before we relocated on a permanent visa status here in Canada late last year and my wife has never applied for US visa before in Nigeria...she just went last week and her visa was approved for 10yrs...why will they even give you 2yrs visa in Canada when they know in the next 3yrs you would have gotten your Canadian passport as a citizen and drives to US without Visa...
