its not good to come online to brag cos it attracts many thing like jealousy, begging in pm etc.I was born into a comfortable family . My parents don’t depend on me as they are self sustaining. I have talked about my self before on other threads. I am living my best life in Canada earning over 6 figures there. I’m done engaging you lol. You can rest now lol
Liar!

You called yourself a banker, you said you are earning over 6 figures. I laugh. I am done talking to you. Bankers are one of the worst paid professional all over the world. You cant lie your way through. Not a statement from me to you ever again. You are simply not worth it!

like i said I know this people personally. With Canada pr you would be given 10 years visiting for usa. Literally no chance of the visa being rejected lol.Can you get that if you are in Nigeriahuh My Canada pr has given me uk visa and usa visa without any effort. I did not even use invitation letter . I stated there i was just going to your.
Now that you are acting as if you own the whole world with Canadian PR, what should the US Green Card Holders do, who DOES NOT need a visa to enter Canada. Afterall, your PR should be equivalent to the Green Card in the US, only that the latter enjoys more privileges.

In my Yoruba language we call people like you - "Omo oju ori ola ri" translating to "He who has never witnessed wealth before".

From what you wrote, your type always refer to other people as success, always knowing "them" personally and you are never a success. Your life never translate to one. How can you with such an uncouth behaviour?.

When you travel down to Nigeria, it is your type your family will circle round and you will be bashing them with cock and bull stories. Shake my head for you again!, I simply pity those that choose you as friends.

See idiots changing the narratives.

You first started with Canadians being given preference in the US immigration laws. Then you moved to PR coming with 10 years by default. You then moved to knowing Canadians who work in Amazon in the US without passing through the normal US immigration, same as Africans.

I feel sorry for you. You are even gloating here that you are working as a banker in Canada. Your ignorance has no limit. If you are in supposedly Canada as you claim and you are still sounding this way, your life must have been so pathetic.

When you are in a country, educate yourself with the system and do not come here spilling idiocy, and misleading people.

I know what NAFTA is

Canadians are the only nationals that can stay six months back to back in the USA

Other countries even Europeans can only stay 90 out of 180 days

I know of someone who used it to enter the USA as a naturalized Canadian

It's just that the name escapes my mind
Canadians can only stay 182 days on US soil within one year

Bankers abroad are not that rewarding except you are investment banker. If it true you live in Canada, that is disgraceful.

Proving senselessly that you can work in the US with a Canadian citizenship. Shame. I have been traveling to all those countries before you sneaked in through the back door. Stop disgracing your ancestors in a public space. Sit this discourse out!

You are talking trash. I dont care who you know, birds of the same feather.

You simply do not get it. As a PR Holder, you will attend visa interview at the US consulate in Canada before you can be given access to the US. To your warped mind, PR comes with 10 years visiting. So Canada has the authority to issue US visa on behalf of the US ?.

We are talking about US immigration , you are talking about US companies showing preference for Canadians. Does that make sense to you? Can US companies bring people in without subjecting those individuals to US immigration. And they will be at the back of the queue, not the front. You cant say because you have a Canadian citizenship, US immigration will fast track your application for work permit. Hell No.

Someone that has not been in any of these countries, talking crap. Everything you said was hearsay. Shake my head!

US companies might have a preference but US Immigration does NOT care a bit. You will be subjected to the same rule. Quote me anywhere. You are acting on assumptions and NOT facts!

Do you even know that someone with Canadian PR will need a visa to enter the US while someone with the US green card will enter Canada visa free.

You do not have understanding of what you are writing about. Canadian citizenship gives you no leverage in the US, I repeat. You need to find the job and the sponsor, and be subjected to the same immigration rule like someone from Africa. People from Africa too need to find the job, get a sponsor and follow through the immigration rule.

Show me one advantage with proof a Canadian with citizenship has over someone from Africa as far as the US immigration is concerned. People get transferred from Chevron in Nigeria to the US as well. This cuts across. You only feel because US and Canadians are neighbours, the rule should be specially applied to the Canadian. Hell No!

Your Canadian citizenship only allows you to visit the US visa-free for maximum time of 6 months. If you spend a day more, it is a 10-year ban.
TravelRe: Untold Truth About Why Immigrants Are Leaving Canada by MT:
What I see is that people travel blind in Nigeria. Once one or two of their friends move to a particular country, it becomes the new shiny thing to do without any research. UK student visa is the trending thing now and people are running into a carefully set trap.

Someone was shouting this Canada few years ago and I asked him just the name of the capital of the country he intends to move to, he went blank. People will even tell you I prefer Canada to Germany , without having any experience of either.

Research, Read well before you migrate. Dont adopt other people's experience as your own. It is a recipe for frustration and depression.

Canada is a socialist country while US is a capitalist. Canada style of governance wants to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, so when you are doing well in your career and earning more, they increase the Tax in order to stop u from creating gaps between yourself and the poor. But the US allows you to be rich the way you desire and be poor as bad as you want. Choose the country that suits you and settle down in.

Although the op na my friend i will tackle her.

1. There are people building wealth in cheaper provinces like Alberta or New Brunswick where houses go for 300k to 400k. In Ontario its like 900k to 1.5m for the average house and you suppose drop 5% deposit for mortgage. Married people or common law guys are able to build wealth too due to combined income. Solution is move to a cheaper province, get married or find a partner.
2 . Cost of living- where in the world is not costly. With all the amenities, free resources, and standard of living why should it be cheaphuh There are many people earning 3700 dols a month but staying in apartments costing 2200 dols. Is that not madness. Some are one 2500 a month but their rent is 1800 lol
3 . Boredom and loneliness- Nigerians move to a cold country and refuse to do what whites do in the winter. Whose fault is thathuh Many ladies from Nigeria have unrealistic expectations and are single to stupor. Whose fault is thathuh Lol
4 cold. Get a good winter jacket or knacks partner. Nothing dey there
5. Professional jobs- doctors know this before coming and should have explored uk. A friend passed the medical exams in 18months its doable. Yes there are issues with Canada experience but with constant applications and upgrading ones skills. You will be able to get in. You and i both know many people with only Nigerians experience or degrees balling in big companies

Oya come back home o.

I know people especially tech who moved to usa after getting their Canada citizenship. More money is involved and passport privileges too don set. The Canadian passport opens doors to better countries
You cant just relocate to the US after getting Candian citizenship. The US immigration process will treat you same way like someone from Africa. You have no competitive advantage. You need to find the job and follow the US immigration process for work permit.

Let them go and fight it again, AJ will lose. Usyk boxes with finesse and I saw that in the first fight. AJ made a mistake by asking for a rematch straightaway.

It takes a boxer of more superior boxing skill to defeat him; that's where Tyson Fury comes into the mix. Fury will beat Usyk and the fight will be entertaining because they are good boxers with incredible abilities.

AJ is all muscled. You need more than that. He fights like a robot. His movement is not so good. He should fight wilder and kiss the sport goodbye.

He left his marks while it lasted....

Never rely on experience of others when about to take sensitive decisions. Some people just make it up for it to look rosy.

I read lot of messages from people here stating that op will make x 10 of NGN 620k. I smile and shake my heads. Some even went further by converting GBP 1000 to naira without factoring cost of living in the UK. Will op be earning in pounds and coming to Nigeria to rent houses and pay for bills?

People that have not boarded a plane before, talkless of experiencing life in the UK have turned consultants on Nairaland. Always understand the quality of people offering an advice before you latch to it.

Read this before embarking on a journey to United Kingdom England, before selling your land, car and other valuables and paying tuition fees of almost 18,000 pounds or more which today in Nigeria exchange rate is approximately 14,000,000 million naira. Think very well. we all know Nigeria is bad, insecurity and poor basic amenities and all. We have not even added accommodation and the frustration that comes with except you willing to stay in a University accommodation which is cheaper you be paying nothing less than 10,000 pounds at least 8,000,000 naira, have not added feeding now that's almost 30,000,000 naira all in total to come for a Master program just 1 year. cry cry cry cry that's not chicken change that's huge.

Now once you done you entitled to a 2 years post study visa where the UK government gives you time within the 2 years to get a job or else we be welcoming you back to Nigeria. Now the issue here is not you getting a job, there are lots of job in the UK, most companies are not ready to sponsor you for a tier 2 visa to work, infact even if you make it through the first stage and you been ask if you have the right to work and your reply is you will need a sponsor you might not hear from them again.

Its so unfair to international students that pay huge amount of money for tuition fees to come here and not getting any company to offer you tier 2 sponsorship letter most end up either enrolling back into the system taking a Phd programme paying another huge sum of money just to remain in the Uk, which is very sad, some even leave their degree and end up in care homes taking care of elderly people, mentally unstable people which you might be subjected to either been kicked, insulted and so on.

I think the school agents of this schools should inform students before embarking on a journey, where job is not guarantee and not just concern about hitting sales. Also discrimination, and pretence. i think Canada is better off in my own opinion. just think and way your options before u jakpa and come back to square 1.

MIRACLE CENTRE THINGS -


My daughter took the last exam.

Attended one of the best private school within the vicinity.

Being a Christian and a child of a Pastor she made up her mind to do away with examination malpractice.

It was tough for her as she was stigmatized, called names, and even a WAEC invigilator told her that "I am also a Christian, which church do you attend?... and someone responded... She is a Pastors daughter.

We told her, we are comfortable with even Pass in all subjects rather than A1 in all... As that will amount to building on a faulty foundation.

We did not force her, she decided on her own. The whole school was doing expo thing, except herself.

The result came out, her class mate bagged A1s B2ss

Maths A1, Further Maths A1.

My daughter was the one who received overall best award in Maths, Further Maths and Physics oh .... She got Cs in the Waec, while others got A1... I was like ... Really?

On Math exam day, they kept her out for more than 90 minutes, and only allowed her to write for about 50 minutes. (If I take that up, the whole school will be closed)

I gave her N20k for her performance. We hugged her and encouraged her to always stand her ground. Honesty/Truth still pays.

A1s they can not defend is what litters our school now.

Tell me,,, how much of those A1 did we see during our times? We were also brilliant in our days with less resources.

So, believe the A1 at your own .....


Anyway, congrats to the said boy.
Heartily, I congratulate your daughter. I also congratulate you for being able to raise a daughter of values despite the decadence in the society. She should raise her heads up and be proud of her achievement. The future is coming when boys will be separated from men. Those that gloat over "bought" result will cry. They will be thrown out of schools. They will be frustrated and depressed. And for those who still manage to rig their ways out of the school, they will either become menace to the society or just end their so-called "professionalism" there.

It is really sad the way we all pretend in the country as if we are not aware of what is going on regarding cheating in our secondary schools. WAEC examiners are so culpable in all this as well. Society will brutally suffer if these children who their parents have shown the way to cheating start to occupy sensitive position in the society tomorrow.

Nigeria is openly breeding monsters!
EducationRe: Man Shares WAEC Result Of Orphan Whose University Education He Would Be Funding by MT: 1:34pm On Aug 10, 2022
I strongly hope that it was a genuine effort that got that boy that result. The rate at which almost all the schools have turned to "miracle" centres is baffling.

A friend's son just got A1 in maths and B2 in all other subjects. A child that could not solve even primary 6 mathematics and woeful in other subjects. His parents were not even confident to tell anyone of his result. This kind of menace will affect the country. Our doctors will be quack, our engineers will build bridges and it will collapse etc.
