Madcow:
We oftentimes have amnesia as it relates to Gods faithfulness and how he has helped even with things that seem so little and insignificant. I write this to hopefully encourage whoever reads to firstly trust God that although you may not be where exactly you want to be, trust God and he would comfort you and help you.
I had my soft landing with my family in December 2019, In the 4 week period, God blessed us with good people, quality accommodation fully furnished, and my full drivers license one-time. My family was settled so I went back to Nigeria to prepare, for my hard landing. I gave myself 3 months to prepare (work my notice period and liquidate assets in Nigeria).
God was so kind; a friend took over my apartment alongside everything I wanted to dispose off (saving me from the stress of selling items in piecemeal) paid the rent, bought my car and paid upfront and moved in with me. Then Covid-19 hit, and the airports were locked… confusion erupted! Nonetheless, God was still kind. My former place of work extended my notice to cover whenever I was able to leave the country and also my friend accommodated me in my former apartment at no cost to me.
Towards the end of June 2020, I got an evacuation flight at a miraculous price and returned on my hard-landing as we call it here. The first couple of days in self-isolation were very restful. I slept ate watched tv and continued sleeping. By the end of the 1st week I became bored and I decided to start applying for jobs. When I got my first rejection email, it hit me hard and all of a sudden confusion erupted again as I began to question my decision to leave Nigeria. The novelty of being close to my wife and kids soon faded. I tried to pray but nothing was coming out. Later that day, I came across an old friend’s testimony on his wife’s Instagram page #healo’clock. He was speaking about faith in the fire and how he turned to worshiped whenever he found himself in a dark place. There and then I began to worship, and the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance Gods promises to me that He had prepared and is bringing me into a beautiful future.
Looking for a job is a job in itself, editing one’s CV and to reflect the JD of each job advert is no easy task. In my entire career, all the jobs I have held were either through referrals or headhunting, I have never really had to apply so looking for a job was new terrain. I did not want to live on our savings so I discussed with my wife, exploring the possibility to purchase a vehicle and drive on a ride-hailing service at least until I got a Job. We prayed and agreed but the Master Planner was working in the background. Later that day, my land lady called to ask if I had a driver’s license and mentioned that she knows I would need a car to move around, advising me not to purchase a car yet until things stabilized and there is a genuine need. She handed me car keys to one of her cars for my use (this is a 2018 car, and it is 8 months and counting, I am still using the car not having to pay for insurance just fuel)
On the 10th of July 2020, I got a random email from a lady I networked with during my soft landing (She is an immigrant herself from Iran and she advised on getting a survival job that may not necessarily be in line with your career path, so one is able to earn and spend without diminishing ones savings) asking if I was still searching and if I was interested in a work from home sales opportunity. I answered yes and to cut the long story short, I got a job offer on the 24th of July to start on the 1st of August.
I had not done sales in the past; it was new terrain. I remember during the orientation training after a poor presentation I was so sad/frustrated, thinking to myself “me that was an Oga in Lagos and subject matter expert in my field now selling and imploring people to buy items I don’t even believe they need”.
I started the job and was doing enough to get by and applying for other opportunities (come and see rejection email… brekete) I developed thick skin and could not even be bothered to read the rejection email or give myself totally into applying to other opportunities. In September and October, I was on Performance Improvement Plan and if no improvement by the 3rd month (November) I would be out of work. My prayer point changed, in addition to landing the international job, I began to ask God to help me do the one that my hands found to do with all my might as Ecclesiastes told us. To cut the long tori short, In Dec 2020 I was ranked #2 out of over 340 salespeople in the Company, in Jan 2021 I was #1 and now in Feb MTD I am ranked #1 and the sales commission is going a long way. I cannot say I am special or better than others but all I can say is Na Baba GOD do am!
Today, I got a rejection email from an application I made to an international company, it pained me because I had 2 panel interviews, a full-day assessment center and final interview with the CEO. Initially, I was sad, but I refuse to have amnesia. I remember Gods promises and how He has helped and blessed me in the past and I have hope in the truth that He will bless and help me again. My story has encouraged me and I hope it will encourage someone else that although this journey not appear to be easy nonetheless God is omnipresent and he is still in the background working things out for your good.
I cannot wait to come back to tell you that God has done it!

God has done it!

I remember when I shared my last testimony, I promised to come back and updates you all in all honesty I have many reasons to be thankful to God considering all he has done for me he loves me so tenderly he thinks about me he considers everything.

Between then and now a lot of waters have gone under the bridge. I was putting in applications and suffering rejections. On most of the occasions I had done the second level and even final interview even presented to the CEO’s and still rejection. Initially, I developed thick skin but over time it began to get to me and there was almost no motivation to apply to other opportunities. I was enjoying my current role, however, I wanted more primarily because I knew I had the capacity to do more.

In March, I was assigned a new manager and things were good, I was doing my work and making progress and suddenly, I was redeployed to another brand. Initially I was happy, I saw it as progress with additional responsibility but when the renumeration did not change, my eyes cleared. I wanted to challenge the redeployment, because the thought of building my credibility again from scratch did not sit very well with me since ‘I had been there done that.’ I went back into the place of prayer to ask God why and in my grumbling the Lord reminded me “whatsoever work your hands find to do, do it with all your might”

I started learning the new brand products, systems, applications, and processes. During the onboarding process, there were some negative experiences that left a sour taste in my mouth, getting to work every day was becoming an uphill task. During my breaks, I would go out to worship and pray because that was the only way my spirit could be lifted.

Sometime in the beginning of May, I got a word of prophecy from an online prayer meeting I attend (Kornerstone Counselling Center http://kstonecc.org/) that “what is mine is mine and nobody will take that which is mine.” I was thankful, and I continued praying with that until
I received another rejection, and I became weak. I could not understand this one because we had negotiated pay and I was basically waiting for an offer. On the 24th of May, the Lord in his mercy knowing I was feeling downtrodden sent another word of prophecy with a timeline “that it will happen suddenly, that people have lined up to help me and I will see manifestation before the end of the week.” In my mind, I laughed because I did not have any major applications pending.

On Friday 28th May in the morning, I received an offer for a part-time lecturer role I applied to a long time ago. Initially I was confused because I did not think it wise to leave my full-time permanent role for a part-time offer. I discussed with my wife, and we prayed then we decided to accept the offer. In the afternoon that same Friday, I received another offer for a consultancy role which was also part-time. The pay combined was significantly more than what I was earning, so I began to thank God well because things had balanced out.

The God we serve is a humorous God. On Monday the 31st of May. I received an invite to complete an on-demand interview for another institution which I completed immediately, that same Monday in the afternoon, I received a call from the same Institution asking for my availability for a second level interview. I told them I was available immediately so they setup a teams call, and we had the Interview. It was quite interesting because at the end of the interview they asked for my references. On Tuesday the 1st of June, they made me an offer (with pay well over double what I was earning) and full-time, asking if I am available to start on Wednesday 2nd June which I gladly obliged.

As if that was not enough, on Wednesday the 2nd of June, I received a call from the company I used to work for in Nigeria. They had somewhat of a crisis and needed someone to rescue the situation. They gave me a blank cheque in relation to how much I wanted to earn and for old times’ sake I said yes!

As of my writing this, I have assumed all four roles all of which are work from home at my own time. The primary application I was required to learn after I was redeployed is what I use in one of the new jobs. In all honesty, it is a lot of work and truly an amazing learning experience. Sometimes I am petrified about the feats I must deliver, nonetheless; I know God will help me! The Lord is too faithful to fail me and that He is too faithful to disappoint me… He has proven Himself in my life and I have come to realize that He is too faithful to fail me… what He starts He always finishes.

My prayer now is for God to give me strength, wisdom, and an excellent spirit to deliver exceptionally with good success across all four roles… and again I will come back to testify.

In all honesty, "na God!" I follow the sales pitch and baba God sends customers my way....

dyduds:
Great!!.
One question though.. Could you write another post on your performance improvement activities leading to being #2 and #1

Yes, all glory to the one who makes things possible. However, I am certain there are people amongst the 340 salespersons who have personal relationships with God as well.

So while we ascribe the result to God for blessing your efforts, I'll appreciate if you share those efforts as well, so we can match our faith with work.

Thank you.

Hi all, I noticed I started developing body ordour under armpit in particular.
First time I noticed it was like more than a decade ago, then was in my 20s.
So I started using medicated soaps and deodorants, at first it was a big challenge getting the one that worked for me because once I start sweating I notice that it will overpower most deodorants I used but one worked for me which is (sure for men the long one).
After some years I noticed I always have boils under my armpits as a result of high usage until a nurse adviced to stop using deodorants that it can lead to skin cancer, at first I didn't knew the cause of my constant boils was the deodorant until she told me and I stopped I noticed the boils just died off.
So I started using them again but this time sparingly, until I stopped using them like some years ago.
I was fine especially if I didn't sweat much during the day, the only thing I noticed was that if I don't shave on time I will have armpit odour or after shaving my armpits the odour will come again for some days then stop.
I was managing it like that, but was making sure I bath at least twice a day or as much I can in a day.

Recently, I was more of staying at home these days unless I have job to do outside.
Only for me to start noticing the armpit odour again, shaved and bath as much as I can yet it won't stop.

My armpits always smell like a per boiled onions some moments after bathing, I have been managing it with explorer sometimes it works depending on my activities for the day.
But it's peeling the skin under my armpits and it's hurting besides it give me boils.
Please help, what can I do?

Stop shaving your armpit. Shower with an ordinary soap, drink plenty water and use a deodorant...

Although I am an avid supporter of President Buhari cos of his many stellar achievements, honesty and integrity, it's things like this(his softness) that's making me not very happy with him. Why sit and watch wicked elements and fake news purveyors run this country aground? What's stopping him from declaring war on enemies of Nigeria and fake news merchants?

President Buhari is TOO SOFT for my liking.. If he were Obasanjo or Yaradua or Goodluck Jonathan, would criminal elements like Sowore, Aisha Yesufu and their cohorts dare attempt one quarter of the nonsense that he (President Mohammadu Buhari) has tolerated from them?

This is sad.. President Buhari should do something to nip this nonsense in the bud as quickly as possible before it gets out of hand!

And by the way, what happened to the Social Media regulation bill? Seriously, I am not happy with the way things are going.. I just hope Nigeria survive the wrath of these fake news vicars before PMB comes up with a decisive solution.

May God help Nigeria.

You are an idiot!

Good afternoon my Seniors,

Please I need some information.

My wife is expecting our 2nd child (Jan 2020) and we look to birth in Ontario Canada.

I would be very thankful to receive contact details of a Nigerian Gynaecologist.

Thanks

dont feel for my parents. Feel for yours and have sympathy on them when fùcking a fellow mans butt. People like u live in denial off nairaland and come here to accuse everyone against ur perverted lifestyle as a closet case.

Since you're a proud homo, go tell ur parents.

Ome ale jati

You are an ignorant fool.... shame on you and your parents... maybe if your dad was gay this disaster of your birth would have been averted. Empty gay slowpoke in denial!

Amakababe:
shutup bastard homo

It's obvious you are an unintelligent homosexual in denial... you disgust me because you lost not only your intelligence but your humanity... I feel for your parents/people who invested in you

Everyone celebrating this savage killing is propably gay and in denial

When people are faced with situations in life that cause anxiety, they often react to them with certain subconscious defense mechanisms. These psychoanalytical mechanisms include familiar tactics such as memory repression, denial and regression. But the one I find most intriguing in this case is called reaction formation.

Reaction formation is defined as a psychological defense mechanism by which a repressed impulse is expressed in an opposite or contrasting behavior. In other words, if something in your life is making you feel anxious, you may react to that thing excessively harshly in order to deal with that internal anxiety.

In terms of the anti-gay movement, this means that if a person has homosexual feelings within his or her self, which they haven’t accepted, he or she will cope with the anxiety by excessively acting out against homosexuality. This mechanism has made itself known time and time again within the anti-gay realm. Several outspoken anti-gay politicians, religious figures and counselors have either been found to exhibit homosexual tendencies or have actually come out themselves.

One prominent example is of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig. Craig’s a vehemently anti-gay politician who voted in favor of many discriminatory laws, which actually made society more dangerous for LGBT individuals, such as laws that disallow penalties for hate crimes against them. In 2007, Craig was arrested for engaging in inappropriate conduct and attempting to initiate sex with a policeman in a bathroom stall. Craig denies being gay to this day and although he pleaded guilty in court he continues to say that he regrets pleading guilty in the case.


Some more optimistic examples of former anti-gay leaders coming out include Kathryn Lehman and Ken Mehlman. Lehman, a Republican staffer who worked against legalization of same-sex marriage and actually helped to write the Defense of Marriage Act, has since come out as a lesbian and is currently a GOP lobbyist attempting to repeal that same law.

Mehlman once held the position of an operative under George W. Bush, and helped orchestrate a platform, which included strong opposition to same-sex marriage. Since then, he has come out as gay and worked to repeal the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy He also lobbied to legalize same-sex marriage in a number of states. In an interview, Mehlman commented on coming out publicly, “A big part of one’s brain that used to worry about this issue has now been freed to worry about things that are much more productive.”

Reaction formation is a common defense mechanism within the anti-gay population and is likely to be a huge cause for the continuation of conflict regarding gay prejudice and discrimination. The reasoning behind gay prejudice is still a mystery to me, but as we progress toward a more egalitarian and just society, I will continue to attempt to shed light on the dark places that spawn the hate we see today.

I am not ready for commitments and I told my girl to chill for some more time.. I am an ambitious young man and I must own the world before I decide to marry.. My kids must chop life pass DJ Khalid pikin..

She agreed and everything is fine.. She's not a beggy beggy slayqueen.. She works with Oando. Lately, I was robbed and my belongings was carted away.. So, I had to use her phone to contact my parents so they can know I am fine until I retrieve my SIM.

Fast forward to yesterday, my mom called and asked me about the "nice girl who has been calling her and sending her massive airtime". I was dumbfounded and just hung up.. I called Lillian and she was all teary on the phone when I confronted her saying "she just wanted to be friendly with her "mother-in-law" blah blah..

That was when I flared up. It was like rubbing salt on an Okada accident wound..

She's been calling and I am not picking.. My mom's been calling too, I guess she's explained the situation to her..

A lady that is so desperate to tie me down with marriage by doing stuffs I didn't bargain for can go ahead and tie my destiny later..

Should I flee? Should I give her another chance?

You are a buffoon... you see a girl that likes you and your family and you are wasting time deceiving yourself... i hope she dumps your confused self and finds a real man who will value her... dodoyo! okpomu!! didirin oshi

Elders in the house please i need some information.

We landed (soft landing) in October... We look to move finally in Q3 2019.

My wife has a B.Sc in finance and 5 years working experience in HR. She looks to retrain to become a nurse in Ontario, please i would like information on the admissions process and also potential funding opportunities.

Thanks for all your help

Anencephaly

A baby born with an underdeveloped brain and an incomplete skull

The cause of anencephaly is disputed by medical professionals and researchers.

Folic acid has been shown to be important in neural tube formation since at least 1995, and as a subtype of neural tube defect, folic acid may play a role in anencephaly. Studies have shown that the addition of folic acid to the diet of women of child-bearing age may significantly reduce, although not eliminate, the incidence of neural tube defects. Therefore, it is recommended that all women of child-bearing age consume 0.4 mg of folic acid daily, especially those attempting to conceive or who may possibly conceive, as this can reduce the risk to 0.03%.

Hi TOLLU.

I trust that you are keeping very well. Please i need some info from you... I had my child in america in Jan.. he just returned and i want to add him to my application.

I submitted a CSE to CIC and i got a response to compete some forms

Questions:-

1. Did you complete/submit the IMM008enu_2d or IMM008depenu?
2. In the IMM5406, did you add just your newborn or did you complete it all over again with details of your entire family?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks and kind reagrds

tollu:
My application is with London VO. I raised a CSE and also sent them an email then they requested for some documents which I provided.

If you haven't, please get your baby's birth certificate, international passport, passport photo. You will need to provide those.

I saw a message where someone got an ADR for an explanation on why she didn't inform them of the birth of her baby in good time. So you might want to do this asap.

We need a president like this...

Many thanks...

GlitteringStar:
Congratulations on the birth of your son. You can read @Tollu's posts for details on how to add your baby to your application.

Hello House.

I have been on NA2 ADNR since November'17.

My wife gave birth (in America) last week.

In including my son to the application would i need to have him do a medical test? Also, i paid upfront how do I top up the payment.

Thanks

In the spirit of giving back,

My wife & mum just got into Los Angeles using Qatar airways (very long flight)...She had to follow-up on them for the Medif approval on Twitter before they responded.

They didn't give them the complementary transit accommodation (they said the tickets were promo)

In Doha they were stopped by US officials and asked if she informed the embassy... She got the visa in 2016 and used it for a 10 day trip in Sept 2016 (in her maiden name) had our marriage certificate, our email and auto-response mail from losniv (indicating that we decided to have our baby in USA for good medical services and dual citizenship) doctors correspondences (appointment letter, fee details etc) and $9,500 to show the official after which she was allowed to board.

At LAX POE,

Poe: how long are you staying
Pax: 3 months
Poe: place your fingers...
Stamped/wrote 6 months finish...


I am thankful to God for Journey Mercies and the hitch free experience

Ayob3:

Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain. This typically causes increased pressure inside the skull. Older people may have headaches, double vision, poor balance, urinary incontinence, personality changes, or mental impairment. In babies there may be a rapid increase in head size. Other symptoms may include vomiting, sleepiness, seizures, and downward pointing of the eyes.
