LONG POST ALEEEERRRRRRT!!!
I heard about EE in 2017 when my only sis was processing hers but i wasnt interested because it seemed like US lottery to me. Infact, i went with her and the kids for their medicals, we spent the whole day at the hospital. wetin our eyes see ehn, I was angry and stressed because i no know wetin be my own.
In 2018, their application was approved and i had to hasten my wedding so she could attend before they left.
Fast forward to 2019 after my brother also submitted his application, i started considering relocating (hubby was still the 'pro Nigeria person') and found this great thread where I gathered and still gathering lots of information for the journey. i dey sleep and wake on NL then ..and the PPR stories dey sweet me ehn... lol...
We decided hubby will be the PA for more points. We started his evaluation with WES which took 5 months of back and forth between WES and Unilag (lemme not even start with this gist). I sat for IELTS in August so as to ginger him and got LRWS 8,8.5,6.5,7 with less than 2 weeks of practice. Baba no gree write,kept postponing until December 2019, he had 7.5,5.5,6.5,8. Shortly after, COVID started,then lockdown! He sat for another test in December 2020 after much persuasion and had 8,5.5,7,7 At this point, I had to also evaluate my BSc to add more points (took a month for my school to send electronically and 10 days for WES to evaluate and get the report).
We immediately registered for another test in January 2021 and he got 8,6,7,7. I was sad but happy the result is enough to enter the pool. CRS was still low (405 for both of us) and we decided i become the PA but i had to do additional certificate to add to my BSc. I made a lot of research and eventually settled for a PGD. I was still dragging on applying for the PGD when my sis sent the link for NB information session to me. At that time, i didnt know its relevance and was reluctant to register. We both created a separate profile, entered the pool and registered for the session after getting hubby's IELTS TRF. I made a mistake while registering for myself, i couldn't go back or continue the application so i had to start with another email address. February 2021, i had a baby and our focus shifted for a while. Few days to the virtual session in March, hubby got the invite which he later attended. Unknown to me, i also got the invite (which i saw months later because i re-registered with my less used email). We were just glad hubby got it and we didnt lose out on it. We sent an EOI after the session.
April 2021 came and i saw people receiving LOI left and right...haaa,oluwa, wetin dey occur?? As i no see any show, I had to goan apply for the PGD jeje and was hoping to gain admission, study while we restrategize.
June 2021, One evening, people were receiving another batch of LOI in the telegram group and i was lamenting that dem don jump pass me again..The next day, Naso hubby tell me he recieved a mail to check his account and he has been trying to open his profile to no avail...I was baba,e no open bawosince morning and u no tell me?? na so i begin dey clear cookies,cache,browsing data,close and open different browser, rinse and repeat...till the profile tire and open o..I saw LOI with my eyes, i was happy ehn. Immediately, we withdrew the previous EOI and sent another one according to the mail.
We sent a mail to them and waiting game for ITA began. people were receiving ITA the day after EOI but ours didnt come. A day turned into 2 days, 5 days, a week.. we were becoming scared because I have a sibling in another province (which is considered a risk). we did research to find people in the same situation, kept hoping and praying, sent mails, no response because you see ehn, this little ray of hope meant everything to us. Baba has started picking interest in the japa journey but was tired of writing IELTS. As a last resort, we drafted a compassionate mail to show our genuine interest in the province (na only beg remain wey we no do) and we told ourselves that will be the last attempt, God should take control. Exactly a month later, we got a response to one of our mails that ITA has been sent. We were HAPPYYYY!!!
We gathered documents, took some risks: -used 100% gift deed (which we got stamped and signed by the commissioner of oaths at the high court for #50, nothing more...), -an LOE merged with the NIS application printout in place of our daughter's passport (which took about 5 weeks), - our digital photos were taken with an app on my phone (we had to take another pic of our baby for Federal ITA) -reference letter for PA (he was paid in cash and indicated in the RL but we didnt attach any cash salary certificate) and 6 months statements of current job (which was almost irrelevant) -Stanbic mutual funds investment certificate, account statement, reference letter (this one sef took 2 weeks and we had to submit the application without it, kept going to the bank until the day i made a scene and refused to leave, they sent it to my mail few hours later. - POF is in my account so we attached a letter of consent (signed by me..no notary, stamp or anything) - our marriage certificate was collected at our local government registry (we no go Ikoyi o) and it had a different profession to what we were doing at that time (people were of the opinion that it must match with the personal history). We eventually submitted. We uploaded the Stanbic reference letter and our daughter's passport when it was ready.
Remember my first IELTS in 2019 we thought we would have gotten nomination and fed ITA but it expired 3 weeks after we submitted (yeah, thats how time flies). Funds were kinda tight so no room for unnecessary spending, thats why i researched more, tried to find people in the same situation and didn't just do follow follow. We decided to wait for an ADR for updated IELTS (which never came). Hubby's CRS dropped to 387 while my profile became ineligible. Nomination wey people dey get in 1 week, e reach our turn, it came in 9 weeks! Anyway, nothing spoil!
Oct 2021, we got the nomination certificate, got federal ITA, used all documents submitted for NB, collected PCC. Few days after, i realized i wasnt offered admission to the PGD and classes have resumed already (who needs it again anyway..lol) Nov 2021, we submitted without medicals (submitted an LOE that we are outlands and will await their instructions). I joined lotssssssssss of groups on telegram, WhatsApp and some other websites just to be up to date with informations that i eventually became overwhelmed with it. I cant remember checking our profile after submitting till we got BIL in January 2022 but you see after BIL ehn, anxiety started...found myself checking multiple times a day for GUs and all. We did upfront medicals after BIL and it was passed in few days after sending mails to london office where our medicals are being assessed. I had to try and distract myself by learning a digital skill till PPR came knocking!
This japa journey tested our patience, there are times we argued, fought, laughed, prayed, encouraged each other depending on situation. Its not how far but how well and we are glad it has ended in praise!!! Thanks for reading!
jesmond3945: why are you angry? Would your anger stop what is coming, no. AI has limit. I don't think AI can programme a quantum computer at the moment.
Lolll,. AI has limitations is that what you think? There are millions of libraries written inside those machines, AI robots can do virtually everything if you are following Winter Olympics there is a fully automated restaurant that has only robots serving customers food, ice cream inclusive..
jesmond3945: when you hear coding, you think is only python c++ java. there are 1001 machines being designed and built now that we take over many things in the future. How do you interact with these machines without coding or even having some element of coding logic? Anyway I no blame us, we always be a third world continent.
Have you heard Robotic Process Automation (RPA) before, they are simple workflows that help to improve worker's efficiency not eliminate the real work force.. You don't need a write a single line of code to design these processes, moreover they are simple shapes that you can put together as a layman to simplify your task...
Yes with the many coders that are parading the street of Nigeria how come all our technological problems are yet to be resolved?? For one, by now we should have had boys writing software's that can block every yahoo yahoo boys attempt from hitting bank in Nigeria.. Stop saying what you don't know and moreover, with time Coding will become saturated , so what will people move to next?
Your ignorance na follow come i swear village people dey innocent for this case. So in the future as a lawyer, I wouldn't be hired based on my qualifications and cases i have won? Rather i would be hired based on softwares i have coded? So clients will need to see my GitHub profile and go through softwares that i have coded, or i must be a programmer before hiring me. Or in the future the new generation Messis and Ronaldo's will no longer be signed by any club not because they don't have good football skills but because they don't know how to code? Or better still in future artists like Timaya, Davido, Wizkid, and other upcoming artists will no longer have fans or make money from music because they don't know what a variable is in programming. Like in the future GT bank will hire me as a customer care agent not based on my qualifications, customer relationship skills, and computer literacy skill, but based on the fact that I know how to program in C++. If your wife is sick so before you allow any doctor to touch her that doctor must know how to code? People are working in Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and big tech companies earning fat checks without even knowing what a variable is in programming. Knowing how to use software and knowing how to code software are different things entirely. Google is free to use for christ's sake stop embarrassing yourself in public, please. Guy, you need to ask for a refund from your school. You fall my hand.
jesmond3945: and I am telling you in the future computer literacy would become a redundant affair. You would need to upskill or else you would be left out.
There's difference in being a computer literate and coding bros, out of curiosity how many years id experience do you have in the IT field
Not everyone will become programmers, mind you all the noise about coding doesn't cut it because you can pay excellent coders to develop a solution for you, while you sell it and go on to become a billionaire...
If you aren't passionate about it, you can't force it, by the way if there are no farmers won't Coders die?? If there are no nurses or doctors won't coders fall ill and eventually die?? If there are no architects, how will a coder build his house??
You can tell an airline that will/will not succeed in Nigeria by the type of planes they are buying for local routes. it shows they lack understanding of their industry. Anybody buying airbus/Boeing for local routes wont be in business very long. What you need in Nigeria are regional jets Bombardier CRJs and Embraer ERJs
Lollll, ogbeni go and find out abut A220 how efficient it is before your next argument... What you seem not to understand is Boeing are scrambling to produce a similar model of Jet to A220
Secondly, Embraer is not efficient for the purpose of what Akwa Ibom want to use A220's for regional travels in Africa..
She’s in luck now cos they are about to start F1 visa waiver for people who have been to US and returned. So she might not even have to do an interview
Thanks for the information, by any means do you know when it will take effect?
You have no idea what you're saying How is the street safer. Do you even read the news. Go and read the new laws they created. Imagine a law that forbid girls and women from going to school and doing other things, lol
In all of these, China has extended the hand of friendship to to the Talibans by offering to build infrastructures in Afghanistan when they overpower the incumbent administration. Now what should be said about this?
HOMA777: Good morning, please I need your polite and sincere advise? I got a job offer from a company in Canada, hopefully to resume by mid September. They have designated an immigration attaché whom have reached out to me for submission of my credentials and international passport for visa processing. Please be informed the said company have paid 850 dollars in my name for the visa processing and also rep as my guarantor.
Here his my challenge, my passport expires in Dec 2021 I need a renewal link fast track precisely 7-10days Max. It's been over a week since the immigration attaché reached out to me for submission, right now I feel like every day count. My other challenge is that I just resume a new job in July 2021 I need time to visit immigration office for renewal but my current job is so stressful that even when you step out of the company every other staff will be questioning how did it happen?
I hold a high priority position. I reside in Lagos. I am feeling like running away to have the time to do what I need to do. Please advise me? I resigned from my former job and it took me 7month to get this new one.
Kindly view the attached letter of appointment if it's scam or otherwise. Thank you everyone a
Sir, I think it's fake.. The company exist in the US and not Canada
Kelvin30286063: Hmm. That's why as a computer programmer, I get worried sometimes when an employer or an investor ask for my business ideas. Our business is just to vulnerable to this kind of theft!
Always a Non Disclosure Agreement before you share you proposal... Anyone not interested in signing the NDA should get off
thundafire: 205years it means,even in his next life he is still owing US prison sentence and next life again. U see life in prison is torturing compared to death sentence
infact a death sentence will be lenient in this case, the judge just want to punish him with slow death
Na dem. Enemies of Nigeria progress in infrastructures that the looters they support never did for 16 wasted years of locust. Any good news makes them cry
spinna: The wise with funds to invest should see this as an opportunity.the others would start political arguments this article is real.
FC WAMCO a private multinational..single handedly revived the nigerian dairy industry with this milk collection programme they invested billions of naira..
we cannot in the south sit on our keyboards and demonise innocent cattle with unscrupulous owners when we ourselves are not making moves to enter into the cattle business
this was my my view three years ago when i saw a similar article about wamco in iseyin.. so i took the plunge and moved to iseyin to start a cattle and dairy farm
so i have witnessed this system.. i have learnt about cows.. milked my own cow (yes by myself) and i have received cash for my milk via transfer from fc wamco.. i have seen the hygienic mill collection room where farmers , both fulani and non fulani..bring in their milk
southerners need to start building ranches and cashing out on this milk and beef money. we can learn like i did.. i have learnt so much from my move to iseyin..
i was introduced to improved pastures by the company.. now i provide seeds and suckers of improved pasture grass to other cattle farmers.. check my posts if you are interested
also my five acre purpose built dairy farm facility in iseyin is up for sale.. it has borehole farm staff house and cow house/ milking area. never used before..it is going for 7million naira.. call 0706 346 3851 if you are a serious buyer..reason for sale is i am expanding to oyo town on my own family land ..
i never used the farm because God blessed me with another 6 acres in front of my rented apartment so i moved my cows there and took care of them myself..no fulani involved.. i have been sucking up cow knowledge everyday like a sponge. i would advise anyone with good capital and love of farming to invest in this.. cheers all
Interesting, but I doubt any HR person can verify salary of a potential candidate especially in 9ja... It might work overseas but here na hmmm. Also it's a bit easy to burst previous work experience up to a certain level
Probably you've never heard of Turnitin, no VPN will help.. The rule is any plagiarism detected in coursework, assignment or project above 25% , the person own don cook
These our parliamentary people sef, if the hearing room is hot so what? Buy new teleconferencing systems, place them in your offices then use the gaddam system to hold your plenary sessions (virtually)..
By the way, the only difference will be reduction in your sitting allowances, social distancing , and many more benefits dey oo.. When the budget was reduced, you guys ought to find a way around it and not increase your inflated budget for God's sake
Tvoice: They are just looking for ways to extort pipo up adan , dis does not make any sense , there are bigger problems that needs attention not this , wat a government.
Young man, have you ever been trapped overseas with an expired Passport? Do you know how difficult it is to get it replaced? The government no do una go talk, dem do una go still complain , which way nah
Uncle Dino the clown, no be the same reason dem take sack you for Senate also? By the way, whats is the US Government meant to do again, I thought Yahaya Bello is on the visa ban list abi na permanent ban Dino want?
And i guess that it is CNN who told you that it was trump that sent the protesters. Brother, it wont cost you more than 10mb to download the full video of the said rally. Learn to make judgment for yourself and stop listening to a liberal fake news
So who sent them? Mitch McConnell the senate minority leader, a republican also confirmed Trump instigated the attacks after the dismissal of the case, even though they voted against his second impeachment but you're here arguing that he did not...
PrideofLincoln1: Dummy I say you are. My home is almost paid for and the President of US do not determine my economic level because I have worked my butt off all my life while you are wasting away in Nigeria supporting a vile racist Trump who think of your ilks as monkeys from Africa. My opposition of Trump is because of his bigotry, racism, misogyny, xenophobia and buffoonery. No matter who the President in America is, yours truly and my wife will always thrive.
My brother don't disturb yourself, God will continue to crown your effort and others who are genuinely working hard to make a decent living and contributing to the US economy.
You see our people are blinded by the racist man all in the name of religion, but don't worry just ignore people who have not left the shores of Nigeria to experience racism.. The sky is your limit bro ����
