Just curious so I can stop worrying about it. ***NO FRONTPAGE PLEASE*** JUST HOPE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM EXPERIENCED MARRIED PEOPLE.

Married for close to two years now with a baby. My wife hasn't worked since partly due to a lack of suitable opportunities and the fact that we are alone where we stay with neither family present. She is a graduate of a private university and I've had to sponsor a skillet training which has been completed so she can open a business. We intend to wait until the baby is one before she opens the business which is a few weeks from now. So I'm 100% responsible for everything. She is not on any specific allowance but I purposely allow inflated bills so she can get some change from it. She is also involved in weekly contributions which I pay 90% of the time.

One thing I have noticed is that she will not help with any expenses around the house. Let say I'm cash-strapped for something we need to buy today, she'll pretend she doesn't have any cash and rather wait until I bring the money tomorrow than buy it for the family. She is currently doing so now and it is reinvigorating resentments I have for her.

One event actually caused the resentment. I will share it in the next post.

It's already 8 years now. I'm curious.

Is the said Dominion gardens estate now allocatedor built up or developed or an entire scam cos I can't find any traces of it online anymore.

Yes. I'll never forget it in my life.

I went to the village a long time ago. While greeting someone in their living room, I saw and heard an idol speaking. The idol was hidden at the back of their entrance door.

It provided a physical description of the lady that was coming, what she was coming for and what should be done for her. It didn't take up to 10 minutes, the lady arrived. She was exactly just as described.

That experience changed me from an atheist to an agnostic. It was a firsthand experience that there is a spiritual world somewhere.

Romania Wow,Nigerians travel o. I always see those countries like Poland, Romania, Ukraine as the laggers in Europe but I still prefer Romania of those 3. You really have fond memories of the place.

Brotherly. E pass fond memories o. Initially I was afraid cos of the gypsies but mehn, I hiked to many gypsy villages and was treated like a king.

Over 4 years since I left and I still daydream about the food, people and beautiful women I met. It may not be as rich as the UK and Germany but there I met the nicest people in Europe.


Poland is not on Romania's level. More job opportunities and better living conditions. But quite a lot of skinheads and not immigrant-friendly.

educators:
u mean 30 Naira?

Actually N50. 1 RON is about N100.

Spent time in Romania. Still have their coins and cash as souvenirs.

Jobola1:
I also told u it takes me 30k to bring one writer onboard but to further paint me bad, u conveniently left that part out.


@Sinudyne, myke92, DeeCherry

If I should spend 87k on a writer in 30 days, is it now bad that I bargain?

This is even more reason you should pay proper wages. That way you have a loyal, motivated and dedicated team to call up for future tasks instead of having to train every Tom, Dick and Harry who will be demotivated and surely leave at the middle of the project. With these wages, you will surely repeat the cycle of searching for workers, training them and they leave at the middle of the project.

I repeat again, you will never find a proper writer who will finish your 90 tasks on this pay. And btw, I'm not painting you bad. Fair wages for fair work.

Trust me, with the proper wages, you won't even have to say this in your ad. "However, u CANNOT back out midway as it cost quite a lot to get u subscribed to the writing aid".

Jobola1:
Send in your application, see what I offer for yourself.

Don't get obsessed with word count cos in this case, that's the least of ur problems.

For 80percent of the articles, you will be able to write a fantastic 1k main body in 60 minutes with zero brain work- you would half that time once u get a hang of tools available to u. But to be fair, you will need to fact-check n format.

Zero writers' block is guaranteed too.

It cost an additional 30k to bring each writer on board aside the 57k payment. this cost could go up or down depending on scale.

This won't be the only time, n I will adjust subsequent contracts but this is what I can offer now.

I don't have a problem with ur criticism, only that u don't have a good picture of things before concluding.

Lol. You can't afford me.

Imagine putting writing an article and zero brain work in the same sentence. Even if you're plagiarizing an article, you still need to use your brain.

You said someone can write a 1000 word article in 60 minutes. Will it just be copy and paste? I'm curious as to how that is possible, especially when they have to type.

50 KOBO per word for an article. Mehn. (Even more depressing when you factor in electricity and internet charges). Yes, some will accept it but almost everyone will quit after a few articles or payments. I wonder what's the issue with paying employees/contractors livable wage. With that, you get proper dedication to your job instead of those who will accept cos they have no choice and eventually quit after two or three articles.

I can bet my balls you'll never get a proper writer who will finish all 90 required articles.

What rubbish

Approximately N600 for a 1000 or 1300 word article.... Bleep you

Lol


Pictures of ibadam Yoruba beggers keep deceiving yourself infidel

ALABAMUSA

BAMBIALA

donmixc:
Your own people beg more nah, a visit to slum ibadam will shock you, or do I talk about the agbro all over your region begging and hailing for a living all because of a sachet of shepe(Kai Kai)

At least they live decently in Slum. They don't carry plates around shouting Bambiala up and down with their BORN TO BEG ( Sorry, Born to Rule mentality). Constituting nuisances across Major cities in East, South and Western Nigeria.

No wonder they are unity beggers. When we leave, there will be no one to open gates for or beg for Bambiala from. Beggars cannot beg from beggars.

donmixc:
And we are ruling you coward, and we will continue to give power to whoever we choose to because power belongs to the north animal

Doesn't change the fact that over 80% of your population are in major yoruba cities shouting ALABAMUSA BAMBIALA like they always do.

donmixc:
Go and ask ipob what we did to them, una own no go hard, na coward una be

PARASITES. Your brothers are out here in Lagos opening our gates, shining our shoes and fetching our water.

No wonder you're unity beggars. You were our slaves back in Illorin before Afonja and you're still our slaves in major Yoruba cities today. Talk about begging for a living.... shioor

donmixc:
Let them dare, our northern gallant soldiers are ever ready

Only parasites with no prospects and nothing to offer are scared of standing alone....

Rather than demand for a better country, media bots out here working for their masters for a miserly pay. The same money than cannot buy you a bag of rice.

1) You will have to explain this in your LOE, give detailed convincing explanation on the reasons you stated above. Show how the courseworks are different from your previous masters and show how the courseworks in your intended program will help achieve your career goals.

2) Getting a letter from the program coordinator or your supervisor pertaining the reason will be great, it will make things smoother for you.

Regarding your evaluation I think the program coordinator will be in the best position to tell you details on how they will evaluate your credentials.

You can use the free conversion resources available online to compute your grades and get an idea what it will be on a 4.0 scale. I used scholaro and it tallies with what U of Toronto used for their evaluation of my last two years grade, so it probably will be close to what U of Alberta uses.

Also, in my opinion, since they directed you to apply for MSc due to missing prerequisite courses in your present Masters , they would probably use your last 2 years of undergraduate studies for evaluation. You should ask your supervisor or program coordinator for confirmation.

Thank you for the replies. Cc; LFJ11

I will ask for the document from them.

I have a 15/20 French GPA. The problem with French grades is the lack of uniformity in conversion across universities worldwide. I have also tried scholaro and it is more suited with the US market. It's conversion is different in Canada.

For example, like most US universities, Scholaro grades 14 upwards as an A, an A in McGill is 16 upwards. In Australia, an A is 15 upwards.

In Scholaro, a 13/20 is 3.0. The same 13 is a B+ (3.3) at McGill while for university of Alberta, it is their minimum grade which I take to be a 3.0. The problem is Alberta only provided the minimum grading for France. I guess I won't know until I apply.

Thank you for bringing this up. I need to have this confirmed cos if they decide to use my undergrad, I'm royally bleeped. Local man was not serious during undergraduate days. Last 4 undergrad GPA are 4.6, 2.9, 4.56, 3.08. The discrepancy is enough for them to bin my application.

Please, I will appreciate answers. Cc LFJ11

I have a masters from France and intend to apply for a PhD. But due to lack of some certain course prerequisites, my supervisor and the program cordinator adviced I apply for their masters which will be also be fully funded and then transfer to a PhD. Will I have issues with getting a visa for a second masters given that I intend to go with my wife and daughter? Also is it okay if I ask the graduate coordinator to provide me with a written letter stating that I lacked certain course requirements?

Another problem is I require a 3.7 to be successful. How is the last two years average calculated for a masters degree holder. Will it be a course by course evaluation or will be masters degree be evaluated as a whole.

The graduate school at University of Alberta is refusing to give information on GPA conversion until I apply.

Sophisticated scam.

RED FLAG

1. The said conference will be in Dallas while the said hotel accomodation will be in Houston. The cities are at least 3 hours apart.

2. Why will a conference even pay for your visa and flight fees? It's normally the other way round.

3. The said hotel has no visible online presence, apart from it's website which I believe was created for the sole purpose of scamming. No reviews or nothing. Big red flag for an hotel said to host conference delegates.

4. The said hotel is missing on google map. The said address of the hotel is actually a residential street.

5. Your visa documents will be processed here in the United States and the approval letter of your visa will be sent to the U.S Embassy in your country for the collection of your visa. . This is the biggest red flag of all.

Scammer.

Australia's borders have been closed since March 2020.

Nigerians should learn to use google map. There is an hotel at this address.

Marrying a foreign woman can ruin your life .

I know men who are in London with their wives and live like slaves in their house.


There is a man I know who washes dishes and cooks while his wife sits down and watches TV..


He went to work and came back, he met his wife with visitors, his wife told him to go into the kitchen and prepare food for the guests..


This is not a movie oh, it happened in London

My brother, I witnessed something like this back then.

Went to visit a female Nigerian friend/colleague. It was not the first time but it was the first her boyfriend abi na fiancee will be there. We had about four other Nigerians there. After babe served us confirm local food, boyfriend was the first to finish eating. Man dropped plate in the sink and wanted to take water from the fridge when the last shouted at him in our presence to "Wash those plates". We were in our 20s and this man is late 30s and above.

I was in a dilemma that day. Many things were running through my mind like 'Do I finish my food and go and wash my plates jeje before person come embarrass me. Last last, it was the boyfriend that washed all the plates.

FYI, this happened in Germany. And btw, the lady was on a long stay visa like us, not a PR or Citizen. So the idea of the man totally leeching off her for papers is not it.

Moneyboyz:
I just tire bro, those people didn't pay my money till date, I bought another land and developed it and now this is happening. I finished it just 2 weeks ago.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if it's Ogshc, it is best to take heart cos they don't negotiate. It will be demolished, maybe not now but eventually.

I'm very sorry for your experiences. Please next time do a search at the land registry to be sure the land is not under government acquisition.

Enter ketu, from ketu, enter Yaba, from yaba enter mushin, from mushin enter oshodi, from oshodi enter toll gate and stop at ijaiye, from ijaiye enter abule egba from there you'll see okada to ija N100

Very stupid fellow.

Sorry OP. I can only give driving directions.

But you can take BRT to Ketu. I'm sure there'll be a bus to Iju from Ketu. Maybe even a BRT.

or simply take BRT to Ketu, From Ketu, another BRT to Agege Pen cinema. From there find your way to Iju.

kkc1:
Good morning.
My flight ticket was sent to me yesterday, but my seat number isn't written on the ticket. Please, how do I check my seat number on Qatar airline? Kindly help me.

You'll get your seat number when it's time to check in. Either you do it online or at the airport.

Gernny:
Uncle that lived in Europe, whose fault is it that you are not successful?as the property is there is the thing yielding money?someone is trying to secure his children's future.Mind you I have been in the UK. NIGERIANS CAN SURVIVE ANYWHERE SO LONG YOU ARE NOT LAZY.

First of, I'm more than successful than you or your lineage.

Secondly, perhaps as a UK resident, you can tell us how he'll survive as a married man with 5 kids in the UK in relation to his quality of life in Nigeria with a 25m property . Let everyone learn from your tips

Gernny:
Please do it, you have 5 kids think of their future uk has opportunities, a friend mine went for Msc in adult Nursing she didn't do Nursing in her undergraduate do u know how much she earns, give yours 2years in UK,u will make that money back.travelling abroad is not a loss right now unless u are a lazy person. System works over there.

That's how y'all are blabbing my friend this, my friend that.... Have you lived outside the country before?

Op, take it from someone who has studied, lived and worked in Europe. Don't try it. There is a difference between visiting the UK and actually living there. With 5 kids, don't try it. Your quality of life will reduce by a lot.

Scammer oshi.
Even the average income in Poland is less than 1000€.

First of all, you don't need 25m to settle in the UK. You don't even need half of that.

Second of all, you're married with 5 kids.

Best advice you can get is; Don't do it. Don't even consider going to the UK.

All these yeye northerners busy writing rubbish to make it seem anyone cares about their embargo.....

The truth is, we don't care. All these noise about it is only online talk. People don't care about it offline. How many people dey chop cow sef.

Idiot even said "According to a report by the BBC, a ram was on Tuesday sold at N1millon and another at N800,000 at Alaba Rago Market in Lagos State.".



Where is the link to the BBC report? Rubbish and Nonsense.

Mehn, I feel you.

I'm supposed to have been back in Europe too.

But after having my first child last month, I'm still rethinking it, especially childcare costs. Enrolling my baby in childcare facilities means my wife earnings will majorly go into childcare payments, having my wife stay at home will leave her dormant careerwise. Besides, the baby is still too young for daycare facilities.

How do you intend to navigate that aspect. Maybe I could learn from you.
