£30k is not a lot for a family with an infant.

Process your documents and you can land with them. Then come back with the infant while your wife get settled and understand the new environment. Hopefully within 1 month, you can reunite your baby with her mother.

While you are back in Nigeria , you can also start thinking what you want to do in the UK and start prepping for it. If it's certification, networking, course, you can start while in Nigeria.

Ultimately, have a plan for all of you to be together either in Nigeria or the UK within 1 year.

Also note that there's a chance your wife may not want to relocate back to Nigeria. You are the only one that can decide how to proceed in such case.

Godspeed

Confidence is key. You should always dress well, and don't have a chip on your shoulder. It's actually nice when you're older but look younger.

If married, you wife will not want you to cut your beards so you don't look so much younger than her.

In the real world, outside secondary school, nobody really cares. Just pray for God's blessings

How do I make frontpage sponsored post on Nairaland?

I'm not sure if you'll see this, but you need to read up on how children learn to talk, interact with their environment and make sense of everything.

Children make things up based on the littles they've seen and understand. They also fill in the gap a lot.
Every child is different, so don't expect your other kids to give the same or similar responses.

Your child is not reincarnated, and she is very normal. Don't start treating your lovely child differently because of this. It's frankly ridiculous.

Please and please. Let her grow in her own way.

I have always wanted to belive In Reincarnation and this is proof before my very eyes .

Guys what do you think and how do I handle this

What are you working on?

Tori46:
I work with a start-up and I have been feeling overwhelmed lately. My job role is not defined and I have been taking on responsibilities outside my job role and it is really tiring. I was enjoying it initially but I've been struggling during the past couple of weeks as I've been saddled with the responsibility of finding sponsors for the company.

I understand we don't have enough hands but having a defined role will ease my work flow. I know there are people here that have worked with start-ups. I would like to know how you guys were able to scale through this stage. Thank you.

It usually like that, especially at early stage startups. Do you have equity or any significant financial rewards?

There's usually pros and cons of working at a startup. If you plan to launch a startup in the future. You get to do a lot, learn a lot, be there through key stages and apply that learnings when starting your own venture.

The vague job description also mean you potentially could define your scope of work or direction. Since you are literally doing everything for the first time, it is whatever you call it.

If you are experiencing stress in a startup environment, especially when you have no clear job description and are asked to handle multiple tasks. You can consider the following
- communicate your concerns
- prioritize as much as possible
- set boundaries early on. Don't work weekends or till 11pm
- develop your own structure
- use tech to automate your tasks and don't tell them about it. So they ask you to write 10 letters, you already have a template for it and get it done in 5 mins. But yourself extra time and tell them it will take 1 day
- if you still can't cope. Dust your resume and start job search on the side..

Goodluck

After the ceremony, with time, all those stuff ignored during the dating stage starts creeping up.
My advice to you is to not ignore them the second time. Both of you should let those things out, discuss them and find a way to adjust or accomodate.
Especially for folks that did not cohabit or those that their dating phase was just going out together, and very superficial.

You have to have those few fights and resolve them early on. Else, bigger fights may come or resentment.

Also, don't focus only on the negatives from familiarity, there are positives. You guys will vibe and connect. You will know what you partner is thinking or how they will react to any situation. You can anticipate their needs and they can anticipate your needs.

I know your point is that they are with the wrong people and are miserable.

But that's not always true. That's the fun and uncertainty in life. There's no hard and fast rule. A pencil can be miserable being with a nut, while another pencil is happy with a nut.

A bolt can find life fun and pushed to greatness by being with a sharpener.

Being with people that are similar or complementary doesn't necessarily mean the partnership will work.

Do you know how many sharpeners married a pencil, thinking they will always be the ones sharpening their pencil. But it's one slim sharp knife that is sharpening their pencil outside. Some sharpeners gets beaten every night by their so called pencils.

Look for Chapter 36, Section 402
https://jurist.ng/act/criminal_code_act

Just so you know, in Chapter 36, Section 402 of the Criminal Code Act. The Punishment for armed robbery (robbery with offensive weapon) is death.

For all intent, they could have killed the woman robbed. Many people have been killed that way on their way to work from robbery gone bad.

It's just that justice is never served when the offenders are rich.

I'm bias, but learn Data Analytics. It's a great way for non-tech to pivot into tech.

You can have both. Recruit 5 of your friends for my small group training, and you get a free training.

I'm taking a starting a new cohort soon. Small group , practical, live online.

My earlier post was deleted. Don't know why.

You can consider Data Analysis.

If interested, there is a free info session on Saturday. It will be facilitated by a Senior Data Analyst.

Hello house. Please any advice on how to retrieve a passport from VFS?

My in-laws submitted their passports (PPR) just before the lock-down started in March and they've been expecting their passport/COPR back since then. It has been approved on IRCC portal and it seems it's stuck with VFS .

Kindly advise.

Hello everyone. Can anyone help confirm if VFS office in Lagos is opened? Specifically, are they processing passport transmission? They have been with my friend's approved passport for a while now.

Thanks.

Hello all,

My sister got her medical request yesterday.

Kindly advise how to get a closer date in Lagos. When she checked Qlife, earliest date she saw was in March.

How can she go about getting a closer date. Ideal date will be next Monday because her leave ends on Tuesday.

Does anyone have a booked slot that they are not using? Please help a sister!

We also noticed it's only QLife & IOM, why was Children/Consultant Practice removed from the list?

Thank you.

Where's the location?

PPR Testimony!!

In January 2017, my partner and I decided to emigrate. We shortlisted two destinations; Australia (first choice) and Canada (second choice)

October 28, 2017 : IELTS
November 11, 2017: Partners IELTS
Sept- Nov 2017: WES Evaluation
Dec 3, 2017 : Created profile
Dec 4, 2017: ITA as a single applicant (Due March 06)
Dec 11, 2017: Police and Medical (both of us)
February: Got married
March 03, 2018: AOR. Submitted application 3 days before deadline.
- Updated family information to married.
- Used a letter from my bank (No statement)
- Submitted LOE explaining absence of wife's ECA since we are not claiming points for her education

March 04: Medical passed, IP1
May: wife changed name, applied for a new passport in Abuja
June 13: PPR email. Due June 28.
June 22 : wife's passport still under processing, found out i had to go to the US the next week and needed my passport for travel arrangements.
June 25: Applied for 60 days PPR submission extension
June 28: Received extension to submit passport
August 13: Submitted passport
September: landing by God's grace

In case anyone out there needs information on extending the PPR submission deadline, read on.

My spouse and I got our "Read for Visa/Pret pour Visa" email mid-June with a 15 days submission deadline (due June 28). For a variety of reasons, we couldn't meet the deadline. My spouse's new passport (change of name) was under processing in Abuja while I had a pre-planned trip.

We replied the PPR email (and cc-ed the Ottawa office) on June 25 requesting a 60 days extension. We got a response 3 days later (June 28 evening) approving our extension request (they actually extended it by almost 3 months!).


We also filled the IRCC webform on June 28 morning (before we received the response to our first email) explaining our case. There was no immediate response till July 25 (almost a month). The response received confirmed their awareness of the extension.

By the way, PPR timeline and testimony coming soon.

Cheers!

Children Practice, Ikoyi. However, ensure you get there as early as possible. Before 7am if possible so that you can put down your name before the list gets full.

Thanks

GlitteringStar:
Lagos? If yes, you can contact Children Practice's Ikoyi.

Thanks

Good afternoon all.

Is it possible to do the upfront medical on a Saturday? If yes, which facility works over the weekend.

Thanks

Jennypharb1:
Just visit the acro police website. You'll see the procedure for submission of the application. Please when applying make sure to choose a UK address for delivery or at least secure international delivery. Otherwise your free delivery option cannot be tracked and your certificate can get lost in the mail.

Thanks
