Gbam! Money comes and goes just like beauty but character remains so you have to decide. Please don't stick with a lazy man oooo

Did u see the pic? Lemme not put mine not to repeat what happened many years ago lol

babyosisi:
Couldn't say it louder
People should look for character first
An upright man with a good character and a drive to succeed is priceless even if he had nothing at the time you meet him
Money can come later
Those who go chasing money forgetting everything else or thinking they will change his character after marriage end up with major regrets

It feels good to know that whatever we acquired we acquired it together as a team

Yes, the same guy. I graduated June 2010, I left my job in Canada and moved to Nigeria August 2010, started NYSC October 2010 and got married December 2010

I remained in Nigeria since then and we both moved to Canada last year with my son nd gave birth August last year to my daughter who is 8 months now. We will be here for about 5 yrs nd move back to naija permanently

I don't regret marrying him one bit.

Did u see a pic of.my daughter I attached earlier?

babyosisi:
What a love story

Ezinwannem,are you now back in Nigeria or still in Canada?
This is the same guy on that engagement thread of yesteryears abi?

Like you I married a guy that was just starting life and didn't have any material wealth
We use to enter molue together
I have relatives that pleaded with me not to marry him but my parents welcomed him
Like you I saw potential and I married him

Hahaha. Time really do flies ooo. Now to my story.

While in the university, apart from lectures and hanging out with friends especially during summer, I come on NL to pass out time and answer questions especially in Education and Travel. In the course of this hobby of mine, I met a friend here and we just became friends and briefly saw him when I went to Nigeria for Xmas hols.

We remained friends and he was on clutches and jobless. I spent a lot of time online chatting with him and a lot of money making phone calls. He had potentials because he was on clutches and in pain yet looking for a job because where he was working before didn't want to take him back.

At a point, because of slow Internet service in cafes at that time, I asked him if it's OK for him to send me his CV and details of his email and he did. I re did his CV and started helping him to apply for jobs since my Internet service was fast. I would apply and call him to tell him the places I applied and what position incase he gets call from them.

He got called for test and interviews for some but didn't get the job and I would always tell him not to worry that he will get. In his own part, he stopped telling me when he has interview so I don't get to tell him not to worry that he will get the job.

One faithful day in 2009, he called and was so excited and I could hear noise from the background and all he could say was that I should marry him and we will get married that same year. Mine you, this was in July and we are both jobless as I was doing my 2nd degree at that time. I.told him how can two jobless people get married? He laughed ehh and then told me he has gotten a job and I now came to understand that it's with a very good company, a multinational at that.

As usual I visited that year for Xmas and he proposed and the following year we got married as it was the same year I graduated. Not up to 4 months after out wedding, he bought me a car.

Mind you even his parents had people they wanted him to marry but he said it must be me because I stood by him when he had nothing and we're where these girls then. On my own part, my friends were telling me how can I be dating a jobless man and a man in clutches when I had wealthy suitors from here and some from she'll and chevron etc from naija.

I saw the potential in him even with his clutches and I knew he would make me happy now matter how much he is making. I am happy because after everything, he appreciated it and shows it. He is a good man, ambitious and goal oriented.

We are happily married with two lovely children, both born in Canada .

Ladies if you see someone that has potential please stick with him.and encourage him

babyosisi:
How time flies
I remember back in 2006/2007, you were just a young student studying in faraway Canada with that your beautiful picture and long legs that all the nairaland boys were ogling over .

I was a virgin too when I got married 4 yrs ago. Infact, on my wedding day, my period started and I was so happy and wish it would last till God knows when lol. When we got home and it has stopped, once it's 8pm, off I ran to go and sleep lol. After 1 week, I had ran to go.nd sleep and he followed me and said it is going to happen today and he has been doing research too and talking to doctor friends.

It happened that night and I don't think it was painful but it was only because I positioned my mind that it would be because of the stories I read and heard. Infact, when it happened, I didn't know and I told him since we started already, he better get it done now cuz if he doesn't, I won't go ahead with it again. He laughed and said its now open.

That was it for that night den the following day, slowly, he entered nd after 5 entries, we are good to go and even the night I got disvirigned, I got preggy

Do a lot of fore play, put lubricant and enter slowly and above all, let her relax and not think of it been painful.

Because of this my experience, when I was preggy, I refused reading anybody relating to labour and all and I was fine.

Good luck

Apply via online nd u want be asked if by are preggy. Birth certificate comes out within 1 week nd passport can come within a week or less if u pay more for express. If you are not coming with ur hubby, he will need to go to a Canadian consulate to sign sumthing there so they will make sure he's the dad or will he be coming along. At least from 5 weeks, the baby can go

Hello peeps, new on this thread, i've read up on all of the posts though, but i have a few questions....(please pardon me if it appears that i'm asking questions that have already being answered)

So, i'm five months pregnant, awaiting a response from the US embassy on my application (renewal). My sister lives in Canada (Hamilton, Ontario) and i want to go put to bed at the hospital there. I've already been in touch with the dr. and he's asked that i bring all of my medical information when coming in.

However, how soon after having the baby would i be able to come back to Nigeria (in terms of getting the baby's passport and all)? I have two kids already and can't afford to leave them for too long or take them along (as they are fairly older and need to be in school).

Also, for my Canadian visa application, is there somewhere i can indicate i'm pregnant or would I be asked at the point of entry?

Thanks all.....kindly respond.

Family › Re: Re; My Wife Fought With My Mum Following A Quarrel. My Own Opinion. by Hotstepper(f): 4:47pm On Apr 04, 2015

I normally wouldn't respond to stuff like this.

We do not know the fundamental of this MIL nd DIL problem because I do not see why a MIL should slap her DIL simply because she refused giving her pic. It could be a pill up of grievances and she got an opportunity wen her son left to deal with the DIL. Besides how come the 2 adults that came with MIL didn't jump in to save the day?

Solution: MIL would have awaited for the son to come back and then ask him directly for the pic

The Daughter inlaw shouldn't have slapped back but then her own grievances has been adding up as well.

Solution: she would have walked out on her or lock herself inside the room until her hubby comes back.

This does not give them the right to say he should divorce her. The man should not allow his family to dictact what happens in his life.

In general, MILS should stop doing things to their DILs what they won't what to be done to their own daughters in their husbands house.

DIL should go and apologize to her MIL and MIL Should find a place to forgive her and also apologize for slapping her. They should find a way to talk about what's paining them and find a way to reconcil and start having a good relationship.

Yes it should and since you have paying cash, u can also bargain. Dr charged her 1500 initially as that's wat she deposited but after delivery, Dr told her that she now charged her 750 so she should come and take her balance when she's less in pain. At least that one go be enough to get the baby's naija and Canadian passports and birth certificates

Phema:
Hotstepper, thanks for that invaluable info. That means Vag delivery will be cheaper even with epidural. I'm still surprised.

Calgary you said?

Travel › Re: Giving Birth In Canada by Hotstepper(f): 4:57pm On Mar 25, 2015

My family friend them, they budgeted 10k thinking Canada will be more expensive. I told them to take 5k cash and then hold their cards...so she and the hubby had 10k cash in total. They were asked at the Toronto airport and they said how much they have and have card too incase. The officer didn't even ask to see it cuz they were truthful with their intention right from the start.

I secured them a 1 furnished bedroom for 3 months at about 800 dollars per month and also got my family Dr to secure an apt with them cuz u get assigned a gyne via a family Dr.

I am willing to help to be the best of ability as long as the person is truthful. I don't want to spoil my name oooo

Phema:
Thanks Nita. This being on ground thingy is the only snag I have about the Canadian birthing process. I like to know what I'm up against, especially cost wise, so I can be prepared.

Then again, how do you explain to the CPB that you can afford to pay without recourse to public funds if you don't even know the cos of the whole process?

By the way, I emailed the Canadian Embassy in Naija to ask if it was legal ffor to apply for visa solely to go have a baby and they answered in the affirmative.

It doesn't matter. My family friend was already preggy when she applied but she did online application and there was nowhere they asked if she's preggy or not so she didn't indicate. She wasn't called for interview either and was given 4 yrs visa.

Now to the info everyone is itching to hear

this is not MHIS Cuz Canadian system is different since our health care is free. Lemme explain.

So for her,

1. Dr fee was 750
2. Hospital was 2500 per day and she stayed just a day nd it's CS Ooo
3. Anesthesia..640

Total is 3890 CAD

The baby paid nothing because immediately he was born, he's Canadian so his health card which was given immediately at the hospital made it free. All the specialist that came to check him like eye, hearing etc was free. So this is the part that in US that adds up cuz baby have to pay.

Phema:
Wow! Please tell me you got the hospital's/Dr's details from her. . . I'm pleasantly surprised.

I think the best will be to apply for visiting visa before getting preggy and just write to the embassy to inform them afterwards.

Yes that's what I was trying to say previously that it's safer to get d vis b4 getting pregnant.

My boss said she didn't write to d embassy though. That she just went in like that at 36weeks and cos her tummy is usually small, they didn't notice but if they had noticed she wud av told them.
