Yes you can. Give your bank or investment House your tax ID for remittance.
If you are in Lagos create an account on the LIRS Portal, check the payment options, select the period and you will see it remitted to your account on the LIRS.

Thank you.

aieromon:
Request for a WHT credit note/ receipt from the bank. This is assuming that they have your TAX ID in their database.

Thanks. I don't think they have my tax id. I can't remember giving them one. Though, May be through my NIN number.

Good morning, everyone. My tbills i did one year ago with UBA just dropped (bought from primary auction through them). And they deducted 10% WHT. Which is fine.

My question is, can we track or check with the govt. all the WHT, we've paid for the year? Can it be used to file tax. Please someone should throw more light on this. Thank you.

Hello all.

I made a top up in my stanbic ibtc mmf since Friday

Up until this moment, it' hasn't reflected in my account yet.

What could be the issue?

Same happened to me too. Since last week. Did you top up using the wallet? If you did, check your cash for investment, they probably dropped the money there.

I have been calling them, since Friday to transferred it out of cash for investment, no response from them. Does anyone know how to transfer money sitting in the cash for investment to top up your investment?

Odunharry:
Kindly reach out to the house/firm you used to get the cp. Normally confirmation notice shouldn't take long

Thank you! I already reached out, they said it's taking time because it was over subscribed. I'm waiting, hopefully i get my certificate this week.

freeman67:
Normally it's takes upto that period or more sometimes before you hear from them depending on their workload. However, you can just send them a mail requesting for your confirmation notice.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, does anyone know what is going on with the Dangote Cement commercial paper? I subscribed for the CP directly for more than a week now, am yet to hear anything.

emmasoft:
If the deposit was made before noon, don't worry the accrued interests from yesterday to 31st March will be paid to your bank account or reinvested depending on your choice during registration.

Note that any balance in your MMF account earns interest everyday including weekends and public holidays.

Good! Thanks.

Hi guys, I invested in the money market yesterday, and there's no updates on the platform yet, only shows my initial capital. does the accrued interest also apply on weekends or just working days?

oluayebenz:
My account officer failed me o
He insisted there's no auction this week?

Will there be auction next week April2?

Most of the account officers are inexperienced. Mine made me to lost about a million naira. I was not advised properly.

vanvickie:
If u left that place blank, meaning you are fgping with the bank's rate (which is most likely lower than the stop rate).

Which bank did you do the bidding with?

It was with UBA

See the attached.

Guys, i have a question. I bidded for Tbills at the primary market through my bank on the 5th of March for a 364 days tenor. I was surprised, I got 16.75% , which was different from what the stop rate was of 18.39. Though, while filling the form, I left the bidded rate empty, cos I wasn't too sure of what to put and my account officer seems naive too. The question is, since i didnt quote my rate, am I not supposed to get the FG rate? Please someone should advice me, thank you.

angie88:
If u stay close to vfs, dropping off in person is better but u need to book an appointment. It takes 3-4 days to b ready if u would also pick up in person

Thank you.

Good day, everyone! Thank you for your assistance so far.
My brother Visitor Visa was approved today. He applied on the 22nd of March, 2024. He has done biometric in his previous applications. No travel history, he had been refused UK student visa 2wice, Canada student visa once and US visit visa once.

My question is, which is faster and better, to send his passport by courier or go to their office in person. Reason is that I want him to attend my birthday coming up in few weeks

Thank you once again.

donteebalo:
It shouldn’t be a major concern for you since the date on the International passport and NIN are the same, you can however rectify it via a webform, you can submit a letter explaining the mistake and make reference to the birthdate on the submitted international passport and NIN, attach his birth certificate to the webform letter too.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone. We submitted my younger brothers application 2 months ago, and we just found out that the day of his date of birthday filled in was wrong. instead of 23 of December, we selected 30th of December, this is in all the sections they asked about his age. Though the months and years are correct. I am a little concerned about this, is there anyway we can get it rectified? Though the date on his NIN and international passport that are attached to his application are same.

Thank you for your response!

Good day everyone, we have started filling the Canada application forms online, using the new site, but when we got to the documents to submit section, the documents they're asking us to upload does not align with what we are applying for (Visitors visa). for example under employment, documents ask was for someone looking to work in Canada.
We got confused and thought may be we should use the old site, sine that one is straight forward.

Please, any idea why it's like that, and is it better to use the old or new site, any different? Thank you all for your responses 🙏

MayorOfEdmonton:
Pictures are surplus to requirement if we are being honest. It’s usually best to keep visa applications simple.
Birth certificates of both siblings suffices as it has the same father & mothers name (except for step siblings), that’s all the visa officer needs. Besides in your PR application few years ago, you listed him as your brother. They will likely visit your previous PR file to confirm name and DoB u inputed.

Remember to add yourself as authorized representative so you can call ircc on his behalf if the processing is taking longer than expected.

More importantly don’t forget to add your proof of status(PR Card/Canadian Passport as applicable). Some add a couple or so recent payslips in addition to bank statements as proof of financial support.

Good point, Thanks.

slimmsyyetty:
I believe the invitation letter should be signed and dated from the person who is inviting the applicant and if necessary and required by the Canadian Embassy, it should also be notarized. So your wife's signature may not be necessary. Also, the signature of the host should be identical to the authentic signature they use in Canada.

Two important dates for getting a Canada visa will be included/confirmed in the invitation letter. One is the date that assures the visitor’s entry to the country. The other date is the scheduled date on which the visitor plans to exit Canada. The invitation letter must mention the visitor’s ties, too. This implies that as your sibling, you will need to submit the birth certificates of both of you and pictures (if possible as little children to teenagers and not adults alone) as evidences

Shalom

Thanks, always 🙏

Hello house, so i have prepared the letter of invitation/ sponsorship, mentioning that my younger brother is coming over for a family visit, that me my wife and children would be glad to receive him. And am planning to attach some of my personal docs. like bank statement and 1 or 2 joint documents with my spouse.

Here is the question, is there any need for my wife to co-sign the letter if invitation?

Thank you for your responses 🙏

slimmsyyetty:
That means you will have to indicate only on your bro official invitation letter that you would be sponsoring him fully. He alone would submit your bank statement as part of his documents (including evidence of being siblings like birth certificates of both of you, pictures, e.t.c.) BUT he still needs to show his ties in Nigeria, strongly- family, financial and home ties. Everything on his documents must show he would return. In fact, having a US Visa, either past or current would fast track his visa approval as fast as 15 days. Let him submit any travel history he had in the past, too. Start his application now even if you re-consider inviting him for summer and not the birthday because no one can guarantee when a decision can be made. It is better if he had his visa already ahead of his intended travel month

For the rest that you wouldn't be sponsoring(i.e. if you still wish to invite them for your birthday), please give out your official invitation letter and birthday invitation to them quickly so they can start processing their visa application. Some people that applied last year August haven't received decision by now.

Shalom

Thank you, I appreciate your response 🙏

House34:
What ur status in canada student, resident or citizen?

Thanks, am a Citizen.

slimmsyyetty:
You would need to give them an official invitation letter individually, indicating their biodata, relationship, reason for invitation, duration and where the invitee would stay(please check ircc official website on how to go about writing your invitation letter). Then you would also give them your special birthday invitation card (with each of their names imprinted on the card). It is these two alongside other docs (like bank statement, proof of occupation, prove of family, financial and economic tie, e.t.c. All these are to be provided by the invitees) that they would submit to the embassy for visa.

I hope those you are inviting are those that are financially gallant who wouldn't blink an eye crossing the Atlantic to spend millions just for birthday(in VO's mind) because flight currently is 3M and depending on the accommodation availability ( whether you are lodging them and paying for their hotel or they would have to pay themselves). If you would be responsible for their lodging (even if not all), then you must be ready to show your bank statement to prove you are capable to the embassy.

I will suggest you start now so that they can quickly apply for their visa. Don't be surprise some of them won't get response from the embassy until the birthday is over.

Shalom!!!

Thank you for a detailed response 👍🙏

They're about 4 of them in total. 2 are financially okay. And I want to support or sponsor one of them, my brother. I've already started my brother's application and I was thinking may be I should leave it at just invitation to see the family for the summer.

lakeside3020:
Will you be celebrating 50 or 60 years?,if yes you can go ahead and invite

Hmmn! Thanks

Good morning, all. I live here in Canada, and am planning to celebrate my birthday in October. Is this a good way to invite my family members and close friends living in Nigeria? If so, What can one put together for this. Thank you for your responses.

Hmm, op, op. There is fire on the mountain. First, I can assure you that 2 months ago, UK was not that cold that your hand will get frozen, infact it was hot, just like naija. I was here in mid august to first week of September and so I know. Even now, I am back in the UK, it is cold but not very cold. Lowest so far 14 but average ly 18-22 degrees. In fact I just stepped out to smoke wearing normal cloths.
That said, what is her business assisting someone she does not know before get a referee? Oga those naija men in London don't waste time ohh. Seems your madam is enjoying her freedom and attention. Unfortunately a lot of married women will use that opportunity to taste other "things".
Women are doing it when in naija with their husband's how much more far away in another country where no one knows them.
My paddy that was shouting Sai baba those days cos he was doing well. Immediately buhari entered, every thing went bad. He sold every thing including his shop, SUV etc and did US visa for his family, they gave them. Big mistake, instead of him to go first, na him wife go, say when she work she go send money make them come. Long story short, 5 years now madam don lost for US. Even oga visa don expire. Always better for the hubby to go first or you all go together.
You sha, blind your eye and don't kill yourself with stress cos what will happen will happen. Try to get to UK very very fast if you wish to salvage your marriage. One you get there don't ask or probe further to avoid conflict. Get a job also do part-time schooling to upgrade yourself.
It is usually hard on the man at first, but when you find your feet and balanced financially, you should be good.

When reading, the cold thing was what caught my attention. You are right, am in Canada and Canada is way colder than UK, as am talking to you, it is not freezing yet and it hasn't got to point you can't expose your hands.

The cold thing was what caught my own attention

jimetagambo:
Deep.

Hahahahahahaha. I remember embarking on further japa runs after myself and a few friends graduated in the UK. Some extremely Patriotic naija colleagues that had families way up in government where bent on going back home to Nigeria. They believed getting job won't be hard for them back home.

Well, 12 or 13 years after, they now send messages every now and then asking about how they can japa. I tell them I don't know anything about migration again. Last time I ever touched an immigration from or whatever visa application form was way back in 2012 or so when I filled visa application form for my family members to visit me abroad.

Funny enough, as I read the comments of the guy you quoted, it reminds me of our days in the Uk too, between 2010 and 2012, and how we left to look for other opportunities in another country, i was just telling this to my wife. I remembered few of our friends too left and went back to Nigeria because it was difficult to extend work visa in the Uk then, some had to stay back to continue schooling. The story is different today.

My advice to those students, studying in the Uk, especially Msc, that doesn't want to go back to Nigeria is that they should use it as a stepping stones. Once you're done with your study and you are given the 2 years to work, just use the opportunity to go to another country for example you can apply for Canada express entry, at that time you have more opportunities and you may be lucky to get it within the time of your working visa.

Ndibuna:
Did her boobs increase too?

Yes, of course.

jaxxy:
I thought about this same thing awhile back when seeing how girls are jumping up and down shouting thick bt the average Nigerian girl doesn't know how to watch her weight and explodes in size after marriage for unknown reasons even without kids.

I changed my mind about these thick girls immediately cos it's just an excuse to not keep fit. I won't tolerate anybody tripling their already thick body under my roof. Nahh!

Hahaha. That's me. You need to see my wife before we got married. She was slim with small boobs, now after 3 kids she's looking perfect. I always tell her if she's as big as some of her friends now, I don't know how I would have survive living with her.

LollySeaSide:
My married ex still asks me for money once in a while.
I give when I conveniently can.
It's no big deal.

It's a big deal. It downgrade you as a man, once you find out, especially what they are asking fir is what you yourself can afford.
