The refinery will only be operational from next month and fully by August. For now, we will still import fuel

Big lie! That refinery will only come on stream by 2025, it is not completed!

Femtopford:
See this !
He got a year ago.
No major problem.
Functioning on the road everyday.
Cheap to procure.

So, what else, good to go for.

The car is in use in Canada not Naija. Bad roads and auto mechanics are a major problem in Nigeria.

GAZZUZZ:
How has the Ford experience been sir .

No major problems. It's in use everyday

Please teekay, I would like to ask did ur spouse apply 4 both visit n SOWP at d same time...cos I'm in d same shoes...I applied for visit visa n it's taking so much time n I'm thinking I should apply for SOWP..my spouse study visa has bin granted n my own Vv application is taking so much time.

I did not apply for SOWP, as I Shuttle between Naija and Canada. Presently on VV. But you can apply for both I guess. My first application for VV was on the old platform after much delays, I applied on the new platform and was given, the old platform application was canceled by IRCC after over a year.

Teekay20:
Good evening everyone, please I have a question.My spouse just got his visitor visa approved and he has sent his passport for stamping. We got a medical request for his SOWP application the next morning. Please can he travel to Canada with the visitor visa and get the SOWP at the point of entry or flag polling? I honestly don’t know IRCC timeline for the SOWP application.

Let him travel to Canada on VV. Then flagpole. Mind you he can't flagpole on arrival. He has to do that after he has entered on VV.

How do I use my dollar card for withdrawals in Canada?

If you're still in Nigeria, check with your bank cos there might be charges involved, otherwise carry dollars either usd or cad and buy temporary credit card at the airport if you so require.

Tolufijeh:
Hello everyone, please i am in Canada already as an international student and my husband applied for a spousal open work permit for himself and visiting visa for 2 kids an 8-month-old and a 3-year-old kid, to the glory of God my husband's application has been approved but my kids were requested to do medicals, we have however booked for the medicals for next week. My question is should my husband still wait for the kids' final decision to submit his passport with the kids' passport considering the fact that he has 30 days to submit it, please we are confused here, more PPR for everyone expecting it

Let him submit his passport.

mizz2posh:

I am planning to start a small poultry behind my house and would appreciate suggestions from people with experience here on the best breeds to go with.

What I'm looking for;

1. Easy to care for and not requiring too much attention.

2. Breed that is resilient.

3. Breed that can possibly produce small amounts of eggs for family consumption.

4. Can be fed with anything, leftovers, basically not requiring spending much on feed, even if I'll have to.

5. Can grow to a reasonable size for consumption (at least bigger than our regular local breeds)

Suggestions please.
Hoping I and others can learn from the experienced nairalanders. Thank you. 🙏 🙂

All these parameters you've tabled points to a local fowl! just buy 1 or more, drop them in your premises and by December you ask neighbourhood boys to catch them for you

sukkot:
See at this point I don't understand most Nigerians anymore. Every time I offer a helping hand to Nigerians they turn to your enemy. I don't understand the dynamics behind it. The whole interaction just gets very awkward after that . It's like they hate you for " humbling " them. It never fails.

But the ones who have a pure friendly relationship with you? Are the ones you haven't given anything yet. So in my everyday life person to person I try to do charity because charity covers a multitude of sins and givers never lack.

So this is a recent case study. This young guy , a security guard was sent by the company to guard the house I stay. I would say about 19 years old. One night I went grocery shopping and I was going through the gate he runs over from across the street and told me he was hungry. So I said what does he eat ? He said he likes indomie . So I went to my place and brought out like 5 indomie and 3 soft drinks and 2 sardines and gave it to him. He thanked me.

Every 2 days when I go out I would do small grocery shopping for him. Indomie and biscuits and soft drinks sardine or bread. A few times when I go out to get bottled palmwine for myself I would get him palmwine or orijin beer he likes. But I started noticing his entitlement behaviour like on the days when I don't buy him anything he would time when I Am coming home and sit beside my door when he sees me carrying my own groceries and he would be looking at me like he is depressed. And he would Always be watching me to see if I am going grocery shopping and he would hang around the car to see if I would come out with grocery.

Let's just say this guy got ridiculously stalkerish and so I called him up 4 days ago and asked him has his salary being paid yet? He said yes. Because am thinking all these things he is doing because he is new on the job and has no money and is hungry so I put up with it for like a month.

But once he told me yes that he had being paid, I in a roundabout way told him I don't tolerate the stalking. That he doesn't need to be following me or waiting on me. Anyway since that day this guy just turned into an enemy. Someone who I have been buying groceries for for almost a whole month just turned hostile like that. Now all that time I was buying him grocery he would do ass kissing stuff like when I drop my black trash bag outside my door he would take it to the bin outside for me but since that day the guy just bone my trash bags lol.

Anyway the point here is this ? You create an enemy unknowingly out of those you help - not family members- because I think it is humiliating for them and they despise you for it, so if you are going to offer charity don't offer it to people you have to see on a daily basis. Just find a beggar in the street that you would never see again. Nigerians are funny, they beg you for money but they hate you for giving them that money especially if it is not a life changing amount.

It's like a guy I gave 5000 naira one time and he thought it was an insult, just a regular guy who I don't even know like that, God is my witness, which 5000 is no money but it was just for him to buy beer for the weekend, you can get 15 beers with 5000 when I gave it to him.

So out here on these streets you have to be savage. No more mr nice guy ooo lol. basically if you are not offering guys over 100k just forget it cuz they would hate you. look for a real beggar who would appreciate 5000 or 1000.

It's entitlement mentality most Nigerians exhibit. Once you have money, you must care for them. When you tell them you don't have, you're being stingy

Shindar:
Hello, pls anyone use KLM recently? I booked one and after booking I discovered I need to pay for seats again. But that's not worst issue, now I see their baggage allowance and it says 12 kg for each passenger flying economy class. I'm I mistaken pls? I'm so unhappy right now. If you have any information that can help pls let me know

That only happens when you wish to reserve a seat. If the airline assigns you a seat on the day you're traveling then you won't pay. They do that to make money especially if the ticket is cheap.

Hi everyone..

Labragadaya:
I bought a 2002 Toyota Camry as my first car in October and for the first 2-3 months the car performed pretty well.

However lately, from January it has been one problem to the other.

From overheating to coil problem to spark plug problem and others.

The recent issue with the car is that the car doesn’t hold slow anymore.

That is the car goes off at slow speeds. I’ve changed coil, changed spark plug, ringed engine twice all to no avail.

This has caused a huge hole in my pocket as I’ve even had to borrow to pay for some of these repairs.

Just yesterday in a bid to resolve this issue, I took the car to another mechanic and he told me my engine block had washed and that even if he grinded the valve the holding slow issue won’t stop. I inquired about the cost of replacing the block and purchase alone was close to a 100 thousand. I’m just tired and frustrated, I need advise, do I sell the car or do I repair this?

Is this mechanic trying to extort me. Experience car users please advise

The car was manufactured 21years ago! If not for how things are in Naija, that car should be resting in a museum somewhere.

To get it to work optimally you might need to change a lot of things with new genuine parts and not tokunbo.

Degift:
Please what is your take on the following?

It is most common for a wife applying for a study permit to be accompanied by her husband (SOWP), please what can be used as convincing reasons for a man applying for a study permit to be accompanied by his wife,(SOWP) while applying together at a time??

That you can't do without things of the flesh hence your decision to follow madam.

njambert:
Hello everyone;
Can I use my UBA visa card to do an ATM withdrawal while in Canada? If yes any limits of the amount one can withdraw at once?

No you can't. Naira cards don't work abroad again.

letsfarmnigeria:
Which province in Canada is your wife driving with Nigerian licence

NB

toniro:
Hi everyone, please do i need Canadian proof of residence to apply for sowp. My spouse is there already though n some report say we must have a 2 bedroom rented apartment in Canada before we apply.did you guys use this please? Thank you

The type of residence is immaterial, you need to attach her lease agreement and her study permit.

danherb:
Please I'm new in this SOWP group.
I want to start processing visa for my spouse and my children. 1 of them is 7years and requires study permit. Now, my question is if I should secure an admission for her before I apply for them or is not required to give her a study permit.
Thanks.

The study permit for minors is open, you don't require admission.

Bless4real291:
Hi. Please I recently got my G1 license, I have my driving license from Nigeria tho just expired. Can I go for my G license without the extract?? How did your wife got her G and where pls?

Thanks

With expired licence I don't know if that will be acceptable. She's in NB.

bibiking7:



Confirm. I use the samsung S22 Ultra. I love the phone.

That phone is a beast! I used iphone once and ran back to my Samsung.

For people who want to compare, it should be Apple and Samsung!

letsfarmnigeria:
Nigeria drivers license need an extract with ur Nigerian licence it will give you an experience of 1 year before you can go for G but with extract from G 1 you just go to test for G

My wife did not go with any extract and she drove with her Nigerian licence until she did the written and physical examination and got her licence.

letsfarmnigeria:
Was this recognized when u went for your G license because I heard it's only extracts they consider

I don't think you require any extract, just go with your naija driver licence, your insurance might be a bit high until you get your Canadian licence.

Sirchiboy:
Nigeria don tire me and I wan leave this country for good.

Nigeria

Vinnie2000:
U Guys just OVERRATE Osinbajo.

What are his Achievements in 8 years as VP?

What Good Policy was he Able to Attract to Buhari's Administration?

VP in Nigeria are mere figurehead. The guy is brilliant and would have done well if given the chance.

PerfectJUSTICE:
This man is the only person who would have completely silenced obedients before and after the elections only if he was given the APCs presidential ticket....but what do I know

If he had been given the APC ticket, igbos will vote for him. It's about competence and not tribalism!

aestake:
Yeah, some times agents like wakanow have better deals than direct ticket purchase. Hey, can one with Canadian student visa and Nigerian passport go with Delta Airlines through Atlanta to Regina?

You must have a US transit visa.

jimikata:
I beg I need you guys opinion on this.
Please.

Better go with Wakanow.

Mrsam12:
