I know him on Twitter and he may be correct
He's a medical doctor and he's sees the dead too

You follow am see the dead?

When it comes to Africans their thinking faculty fly's out the window.

As if whites, Chinese, Indians etc don't eat okra.
Our stupidity knows no bounds.

I swear. And this guy is a so called doctor o. Scamming people.

Fahvvy:
First off..
How do you know that he's everywhere if you too haven't been everywhere? Or is that what your Romanceland spies told you ...

Secondly...
Rather than throw snide comments at his person, why not attack his points instead, I mean it's far more sensible to do so than do this ...

@OP...
Women (for the most part) become emotional wrecks during pregnancy, so that could be influencing her actions ...

Secondly...
It's normal to feel a certain kinda way when you're about to enter a life long commitment especially considering the circumstances ...

Thirdly...
The fact that she chipped that in, could mean that she thinks that you guys are rushing things or maybe she's unsure that you're the right one ...

And let's be honest with ourselves here...
If she wasn't pregnant, would you consider going to see her parents when you did? ...

If the answer is "No", then she might be right when she hinted that you guys might be rushing things ...

My advice?
Invite her on a date and have a heart to heart talk with her on this matter ...

Kobojunkie's signature is written all over this. Did they ban your account?

ThiefnubuBandit:
When you go to developed and sane societies, salary for job roles are included in job advert so that job seekers can decide whether to apply or not. In Nigeria, they will start asking stupid questions like 'What do you want us to pay you?' How stupid and idiotic can a question be? You want to hire someone and you're asking him/her what they think they should receive?

They negotiate for salaries everywhere regardless of whether a salary is stated or not.

Please I'm having issues registering for my brother's jamb. First of all we faced issues getting his profile code. He has previously gotten it last year but the phone nunber on which he got it has been stolen. He was unable to retrieve it and the number has been assigned to someone else. Luckily, we retrieved the code in his mail and continued to setup his jamb e facility number with his new number ; no issues. but to buy ePin now has become another wahala. Bank app and remita are saying GSM number does not match. Even after trying it with both the old and new number. He has even gone ahead to change his number on the nin portal. Please help!

I guess kidnappers and bandits will be like:

"Bro I think we should stop this; the placards around are telling us it's a bad thing"

Problem solved. Wonder why no one ever thought of this since

The woman is violent and I pray the boy gets a fare judgement

I guess all those monogamy where wife killed husband or vice versa means they didn't really think it through with the monogamy

gforce5:
OP, yes you need a transit visa to travel to any country that your country does not a have a visa free agreement with. If you are traveling to any country, it is advisable to check their Embassy website for information regarding their visa policies. Also a student visa is different from a transit visa. A student visa only gives you permission to travel to the country you intend to undertake your studies. It doesn't allow you travel to other countries via transit. That's what a transit visa is for.

ednut1:
you do. I also booked a flight from Canada to uk with dublin stop over. Wasn’t allowed to board due to transit visa. I had to buy another ticket at the airport. Lost my money o. Avoid that route

Thanks a lot for your response.

Good afternoon people,
Please I need your help urgently. I'm traveling to the UK with student visa but I am having a stopover of about 7hrs at Dublin. Please do I need a transit visa.

Thanks a lot as you help.

Senorita123:
I will be resuming school next month. I booked a Etihad flight to the US through an agent company. There are 2 stop overs, one at Abu dhabi UAE and the next at Dublin Ireland. I wasnt aware I will b needing a transit visa at Dublin Ireland for the 2hrs 35 mins stop over..I have 2 weeks to go. What can I do? Can I get an expedite transit visa to Dublin? Pls help me

Did you later require it?

justwise:
You don’t need one

Hello justwise. Stumbled on this post while searching for some information. I'm traveling to Birmingham but I'll have a stopover at Dublin. Someone a friend told me I might need a transit visa. I've been trying to get tangible evidence for this but not certain. Please do you think I would need one?

Thegamingorca:
Has anyone gotten PTA recently?

Please what does one need to be able to apply for PTA?
I heard it takes 2-3weeks. I want to apply for it now against that time by buying flight ticket but is it also true that one needs visa to apply? Not to collect but just apply

Phatkings:
Anyone good in arena simulation for managerial decision making

Hello. I'm resuming to Aston this September. I saw some of your posts regarding accommodation. I don't know how we can link up to solve it together

STENON:
Agriculture is not part of the subjects in the secondary school curriculum in UK. She can not be qualified for TRCN without an Education degree.

I think she should look at volunteering or working at any Primary school level in Nigeria, then apply for PGDE( Primary) in UK.

Thanks a lot for your response

STENON:
Boris please don't resign

Good afternoon stenon. I saw some helpful posts on a thread about becoming a teacher in the UK. I have a friend who would like to become a teacher and would probably move to the UK in about a year's time. She's a graduate of agriculture but wants to pivot into teaching. She's currently rounding up an online course organised by the commonwealth education trust after which she plans on acquiring a teaching job. I saw you mentioned something about trcn, please can she get it and how can she get such certification or is it only for those with an education degree? What other things could she do in this one year that will make it easier in becoming a teacher in the UK?
Thanks a lot

You don't know the meaning of honorary degree.
Look it up and change the bolded part of your post.

God wan fight you u say u wan learn how to swim. Lol. That ur description no enter. Use another one

I swear dumbest stuff I ever heard. So if one knows how to swim, one can automatically escape powerful tides that will slam you against rocks or unknown objects that could hit you from nowhere.

samint1:
My wife did actually

Ok.
Please did she have to upload POF before she got CAS?

samint1:
For those that recently applied for Provisional driving licence, how long did it take to get it?.
Thanks

Hello, I saw a post of yours from last year asking some details about Aston university. I don't know if you later went through with. I have some questions if you don't mind. Thanks

Davidandgo:
Because I went via the online route, I don’t know much about their CAS process. But you can speak with this admissions officer (Tina Banerjee) who was most helpful with my admission back in 2020.

Regards,

Thanks a lot for the response. I really appreciate the help.

Davidandgo:
Please be open minded and go for the scholarship while you consider less expensive schools as your back up plan.

Ok. Thanks a lot for the advice. Do you know if Aston also faces issues with CAS issuance. Some of the schools that I have been offered admission take months to issue CAS. This is very discouraging for me. But Aston sent CAS shield the following day they sent the offer letter which makes me optimistic about it.

Davidandgo:
If they have requested for the POF, please send it to them regardless. It’s possible what they sent is your Pre-CAS.

By the way, I’m also currently an MBA student of Aston University ( I’m currently at my thesis stage) albeit online and it’s a lovely school!

All the best!

No they did not request. I just wanted to be sure since the norm is for school's to request it. I will check the precas as you have suggested. I would love to go there but the funds is the major issue. Although I have a particular scholarship in mind but I'm not sure I will get it.

9iceboi:
I got a conditional offer from RGU Aberdeen.
Sept2022 intake. The condition is that I pay 34% of the school fees. I intend paying soon

Please I will like to know how the city is?Whether there are students job?.

I also got unconditional offer from Aston university but there fees are much.

I need advise/information about schooling at RGU Aberdeen.

I also got an offer from Aston university although unconditional. They sent CAS shield the following day. I want to be sure about something; do we need to email proof of funds to the university of it's just the deposit fee that is needed.

Jeanjohnny:
Greetings,

Can you teach English and Lit-in-English at senior school level (SSS1-3)?

If yes, then a school around Sango-Ota-Ifo axis (Ogun State) is in need of an English teacher either on full time or part time basis.

If interested, please don't hesitate to send a mail.

Hello Jean,
I read here that you were offered admission to university of Stirling. I don't know if you later accepted that offer. I was also offered admission there and I have some questions I'd like to ask if you do not mind. Thanks

venabili:
Vote me as president. We will outlaw AA from marrying AA so as to create adequate supply of AA for AS to marry.

That wouldn't actually solve the problem. AS will eventually outnumber AA. Besides, what kind of union is a forced union?

I don't know the kind of arrangement you and your partner had but it seems you had no plan. There's nothing wrong in two people who are genotypically incompatible getting married if they have thought things through.

There's a couple (AS & AS) who had an agreement that each time they conceived, they will take the CVS test and abort whichever one is SS. They have 3 healthy children and only had cause to abort once. This is the kind of agreement you and your partner should have had or if you're rich enough, do IVF and genetic modification. A lot of people do this but they just keep a secret because of the stigma.

People think it's easy for others with AS genotype to get AA that ticks all other boxes. I know women who ended up with men that shouldn't even be form friendships with them become married to them due to the desperation of finding "AA". Some women end up in abusive marriages such that they some times believe having a sickle cell child wouldn't be as tough a life as they are currently facing. Yes, this is reality.

The AS should marry AA thing is impractical and can only work for a few more generations. The truth is , AS are growing in number and will gradually outnumber AA. What then will happen if that occurs? Ask AA and AS couples if most of their children are not AS. My mum's AA and all four of her children are AS. It's time to quit this ostrich politics and find a more permanent solution than forcing people into unions that they are not pleased with.

I'm sure if oyinbo people faced this genotype ish, they would have solved it teytey. The current innovation in the matter sef na dem do am. And this is a problem they do not face. Our own is to play ostrich politics with the matter.
If your partner is responsible, I would advise you keep together and go with the plan above. Responsible and sensible individuals no plenty again o.



By the way, how much did the CVS cost you

So I'm not a resume expert. I hate to draft that stuff. But I use a hack. I look at Job description for roles I'm interested in. See what skills and experience they request for. And I copy and paste them on my resume. Edit them a bit slightly to match my exact case. You see, those Job description are written by HR pros. And they are the ones that will screen the Resume after the initial screening by the Applicant Tracking System. Coming from tech, trust me you cannot word your resume better than how a HR person would. So I just go on all these job sites. See roles that closely match my experience and copy the entire thing. I have a Google Keep and Microsoft Note document where I store them in a methodical fashion. So when I have to tweak my CV right I know where to go. You also have to blyave loads of patience with these foreign remote thing o. We that we are inside and looking for additional roles we know how we are "crying" when we get no response at all. But for me what I have learnt to do is to use my weekends to catch up on all the openings. I don't hunt daily.

For data analyst, it can be competitive. And people would want to see your portfolio. So you have to think on your feet. Do a lot of analysis and visualisations and share on your github. Census is coming in Nigeria. Can you do an analysis and visualisation of previous censuses we have had over time? Election is coming can you do something similar? Or maybe do something comparative between Nigeria and Ghana for example. I know data for these maybe hard to find but if you can do something in these lines and explain in a report the challenges you faced and how you overcame them you begin to put your self in good light. Me I'm a "left of centre" person. A radical basically. I'm not on Facebook, not on LinkedIn. But being active there could help. I'm however somewhat active on reddit. There's a subredd (sub forum) called r/datascience. Have a look there and see if you can begin to get ideas. Just keep trying. Giving up is not an option. Have you also looked at Upwork (although that one needs a different kind of patience and grace)

Thanks a lot. I would implement your advice. It's been more than a year since I have been on Upwork. I was there as a writer initially, before I learnt data. However, I created a profile on fiverr and I was able to secure a few gigs but they are not consistent and quite small. Thanks a lot for the ideas. I will look into them.

Cheers.

The first consideration is health. These remote jobs you go siddon tire. Then basic due diligence. Any job that involves paying before you get the job, scam. Any job that the interview is on WhatsApp or Telegram, SCAM. Also be somewhat wary of sending your CV/Resume to any Tom, Dixk or Harry. I'm very guarded about my personal identifying information. For example I don't have a LinkedIn or Facebook presence. Does that put me at a disadvantage? Of course it does. But that's my "risk" profile. Have an email account strictly for jobs. I use outlook.com strictly for jobs. Make it a professional looking email. firstname.lastname@blablah.com
Then have loads and loads of patience. I was lucky that the first two remote jobs I applied for, I got an offer letter. Turned one down. Took me 8 months to get a 2nd one in addition to the first one. Take care of your health. Get a good chair and desk. Get a source of steady power. Get good internet.

I wish you luck in your hunt.

Hello airsay, I see you've received numerous mentions and regardless of your time constraints, you did well to honour them. Thanks a lot. People like you do not come a dime a dozen. I know this because of my personal experience.
Late last year, I completed my path as a data analyst through an online course I took where I learnt a lot. I put up my LinkedIn profile and started applying for jobs. Most jobs in the Nigerian space however are too keen with the experience aspect requesting level entry candidates with four years of experience with meagre compensation. I have applied for numerous jobs both home and abroad, and even though I have a rich portfolio, I haven't had any luck being called for an interview save for one. The one however, didn't go through. While they acknowledged I did well for both rounds of interview, they sent a mail explaining that they made some "internal changes". Ever since, I have been in an endless stream of learning and applying to openings. I learnt data science and still learning many more things everyday yet, no interviews.
Yet, I see people who have entered the learning path after I did, get numerous interviews and even land jobs. In a bid to change my situation, I have reached out to these people to let me in on how they are able to do so—Maybe there's something wrong with my CV,or I'm not positioning myself well. But I never get any responses from these people (I guess people will rather connect up the ladder than below) hence, why I said people like you're not common.
So I humbly ask, what avenue do you get these job openings and how are you able to seal the deal? I am at my limit and quite frankly, depressed. I am happy to share my resume with you if I could get some inputs that will better set me up for what I desire. It is exhausting putting so much efforts without anything to show for it. I apologize for this lengthy post. Thank you.
