Are you sure about this? From the mail GTB sent to me after my naira card was rejected, they said it was a CBN policy stopping them from accepting the random forex exchange payment .

They sent me a similar mail too. It has to do with DCC.

You can pay with a Zenith card. I didn't even open a Zenith account, I simply transferred money to a colleagues card and did my payment.

Bodacious1:
Thank you. I've also read the ACS guidelines but needed to be doubly sure. Also, I've been searching for sometime now but want to confirm from those with more experience. Can I use IELTS academic or must it be general?

You can use either.

Bodacious1:
Please again, I need someone who has assessed with ACS. Also if I use statutory declaration must the person attesting it put their passport photo on the declaration?

Good morning.
Go to the ACS website and get first hand details for anything you need to submit to them. They have detailed guides for every transaction you will have with them.

No, you will not attach a passport photo to a declaration.

This is my story and I will appreciate if the mods can push it to front page so that others can read and learn from me, and I also need your honest comments and advice because you could be saving a drowning man.

I Am 29 years of age, a civil engineer by profession and a sanguine by temperament. Before my youth service @ age 24 I got my girl friend pregnant and I was scared of abortion so we decided to keep the baby with the full support of my mother and she agreed because I was an only son. After that, we proceeded to see her people with my mum and relatives to my girl friends village and we paid something on her head but didn't complete the whole traditional right, but this was not even the traditional wedding proper.

After that we saw ourselves as husbands and wife and we were living fine for sometime. After sometime, the relationship took a different turn as we were always fighting and didn't agree on even the slightest matter. I remember vividly one occasion we fought over a female colleague @ work who sent me a whatsapp message and why we fought was that she came to my work place and fought the young lady openly embarrassing me in the process in front of everyone.

There were times I would try to reconcile but she would blatantly refused, sometimes she will tell me she is fed up of this thing we call marriage and that she's looking for someone that I too should look for someone else.

Fast-forward I met a lady and one thing led to another and I started picking interest in her. It was never my intention to be with another woman but I don't have peace of mind and I feel I am loosing my mind.

Note: I haven't wedded in a church before or done a full traditional marriage. Here comes the question: would it be considered a divorce if I quit this union and marry this new lady?

I am full of unhappiness and pain and I don't want to live a life of endurance and pity. Pls nobody should pressure you into getting married, marriage is not a license to live a happy life. If you are single, I envy you.

You do not have what it takes to get married, even at this moment, because you are really young and patience is not yet something you understand fully. I will advise that you do not leave your relationship/marriage because you want to get married to someone else.

If you don't want to be with your fiance/wife and mother of your child anymore, then say so. You have not really given a good reason why you should be apart though.

You also sound like you never wanted to marry this young lady, but only acted like you wanted to because of the pregnancy.

Take your time.
Forget this your new relationship. You are not being faithful to your fiance. You are breaking your promises to her.
Truthfully, you have a lot of the steering here.

You already know what is right for you. Going by all you have written, you both have no business being with one another.
I can't even imagine that a full grown adult is unable to restrain himself, commits an offence against you and then blames his temper.

Stop dating him.

Whoever said you must marry now, or marry at all.

This is really a painful experience especially so for a person already in pains.

Did you manage to get the doctor's name, top enable you call him out for his maltreatment, obvious insensitivity and lack of empathy?

Hello everyone.
I have an unusual issue at hand and it's really giving me a headache.

I have a girlfriend I met in August this year when I traveled to my state from Abuja. She's beautiful, a graduate, and she's everything I have ever wished to have in a woman or so I once believed.

I loved her and our relationship was going to lead to marriage.

After we met in August I traveled back to Abuja and a few months later her NYSC call up came. She told me about it and we planned that she will serve in Abuja. I paid one NYSC man to work her posting but unfortunately, she was posted to another Northern state.

On her way to the state where she was posted she stopped over at my place in Abuja on the 3rd of November, That night we had sex without a condom and after the sex, I gave her a pregnancy prevention drug tablet I had collected from a doctor.

She refused to take the drugs not until after much persuasions. The next morning, some thick blood mixed with water started coming out of her and she was also having stomach pains so I called the doctor that gave me the drugs and he said we should come to his hospital.

We got to the hospital and after explaining to him what happened the doctor said she was already pregnant before taking the drugs that's why her body reacted that way to the drugs.

She denied that she's pregnant and eventually she had to undergo a pregnancy scan. The result came out negative but the doctor kept on insisting that she was pregnant and that the reason why the result came out negative is because of the drugs she took and how young the pregnancy is.

She left for home angrily that day and I had to beg her to forget whatever it is that happened.

A few days later she left for NYSC camp in the state where she was posted. After two weeks she started complaining to me that she's been feeling cold, hungry, and sleepy often than she used to.

I told her that it could be because of the change of weather and the approaching harmattan season. While she was in camp I was working for her to be reposted back to Abuja and somehow she didn't want to serve in Abuja again. She wasn't really open to me about that but she was subtly letting me know of her desires.

Finally, her reposting worked out and she came down to Abuja three days ago. Today she told me that she wants to go for a pregnancy test and I obliged and escorted her to another hospital different from the one we previously went to the first time she came to Abuja.

After the test and scan, the result said she's 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant. We went to another hospital and the result came out the same.

Remember that I first had sex with her on the 3rd of November. Tomorrow will make it a month I had sex with her but she's already 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant.

I could not understand why she should be 6 weeks pregnant when it's not been up to 4 weeks I had sex with her. I have asked her to tell me if she slept with someone else earlier before she came to Abuja but she has maintained that she did not.

I have equally asked the two doctors we met today plus a few other doctors I spoke with on the phone if they think that I'm responsible for the pregnancy but their answers are all contradicting.

Now I'm confused. She's in my house, with a child I'm certain does not belong to me. I don't know what to do. I'm really really confused. Please, any mature advice would be gladly appreciated.

Thank you!

I am sure the doctor explained to you that pregnancy is dated from the last monthly period.
Ultrasound scans usually take LMP into account.

AlexDeedat:
Please I want you to judge me but, while you do that, please be sincere. I will make it brief. Please dont mind the typo errors or any errors as we have many English teachers on board.

It all started about 3moths now, I works with an FMCG Multinational Company as a Field Sales Manager and I was newly transferred to one of the northern state from Lagos.

I arrived this state as a Johny Just Come (JJC) and I can barely speak ordinary 'Wa kin pa o' (come make I kill You), I am a Yoruba Man.
I met an existing Sales team which I inherited from the previous manager.
One of the Sales people is Mr X. Oh my God! This guy is just so exceptionally intelligent, smart, hardworking, dexterous and has the qualities to be a great Manager. He is still an Open Market Sales Rep despite the years he has put in the Business.

Mr X took me round the Territory, helped introduced me to existing distributors and we were able to recruited more. My line manager was so surprised that i was able to fit into the new environment easily and met 72% of my target for the first month within that shortest time. This particular Mr X has so much channels he can singlehandedly do 50% of the entire secondary sales while the remaining sales rep struggled with the rest.

Now this where I'll need your advise. There is a new vacant slots for the post of TSM, three (3)northern states and one(1) south eastern state. I have opportunity to sloth Mr X's CV so he can be called for exams and possibly interviews. I am more than sure this guy will get the job with my help and his effort.

The problem is "I CAN'T LET MR X GO NOW" I decided to work out ridiculous incentives for him to increase his pay and he was so happy about it this month. He received 2x of what he always received monthly for the last few years...but yet, my conscience wont let me rest till now as it is about 48 hours to the close of submission for CVs.

I need this guy on board so badly atleast for like 4 to 5 months when I'll find my feet on this ground..I have looked around the remaining sales team atleast for a replacement but the rest are just.......This environment still looks like I am being pushed here to suffer..If you have been to core north, you will understand.

**I know God pushed him to me and I am very grateful. I'm I being wivked or self centered by holding on from sending his CV?

**I'm I going to be so stupid for allowing him Go now.

Pls advise me on what to do..

Recommend him.
You didn't know you will meet him when you were going there.
Just the way God placed him there for you, you too may have been sent there for his sake.
Besides, before he is invited, then goes through the process, you may have had close to the time you envisage you need.

So you will end up with the best on two fronts.

How much did PTEA charged you on that card? Is the card zenith naira master card?

The charge was #46,370, yes it was a Zenith Bank MasterCard. This is the card they issue for normal accounts, so nothing special, it is just that Zenith allows DCC.

Thanks to @Bamz for the info, I paid for my PTE at the official price and with ease. If you want to make payments for PTE, just use a Zenith bank MasterCard. It was a seamless transaction.

For those who want to pay for PTE Academic at the official price in Nigeria, just use a Zenith Bank MasterCard. It is a seamless transaction.
Thanks to @Bamz who gave me the info.

This life is just a small place. You will think you are sharp but when the time is come, your sin will surely find you out.

Some weeks back, a guy saw my wares online and came around to pick some footwears since we are in same city. He kept on talking on phone with a particular girl (my girl) about the type of shoe she likes. Remember I just gave her a new pair when she requested for one. Not even up to a month.

So this guy selected 3 pairs of shoes - two males shoes and one female own. He just told me to packet them that he would call me when money comes in. Fast-forward to today, he called in the afternoon and gave me a location to bring the shoe that he went out with his girl and will be traveling in the morning.

I dressed up, picked up the shoes at the shop and dashed to the location only to meet him with my girlfriend.

I just pretended like nothing happened, passed the shoes to him. She was shocked to the marrow but the guy never noticed. He asked her to wear the shoe so as to see how it suits but she just told him that he shouldn't bother that it's OK.

He paid me and as I was about leaving, he called me back and introduced me to his girl. I told her my name like we just met and left.

That's just it. I'm out for good. I'm free

Chai.
See the way God just take make your life easy and simple for you.

Thank you.

Your best bet is to check on the states and their requirements.

lilwetdick:


i am sure you will also see someone that will always say africans are primitive

in asia, there is caste systems, i guess it is alright

many europeans and americans are racists, i guess they are not primitive in thinking stupidly

suddenly as an african does similar stuff, all africans are primitive and think stupidly.

are these practices and attitudes not condemned the world over?

Janelle08:
Hi Nairalanders,

What is your opinion on this topic.

In a situation where a woman receives some inheritance from her father or a share of her late father's property, is she expected to hand over her inheritance (money) to her husband?

Married folks over to you. Women, how will you handle your inheritance? Men, how do you expect your wives to handle her inheritance?

I would expect and encourage her to pass it on to our children, just the way whatever property she has in her lifetime will go to them.
I don't see any complexity to the matter.

Obyroli:
Good morning ,I want to start assesment with ACS ,pls is my transcript meant to be uploaded by me or the university is meant to send it to ACS
Secondly pls can I make payment before uploading all the required documents,cos am i bit confused.Thank you

You will need to upload a copy of your transcript to your 'MYACS' page.
Yes, you can make payment before uploading your documents.


NB: Ensure your JD is closely related to what you are nominating.

What is going on with the PTE centres in Nigeria? It seems the number of centres have been reduced.
We now have centres only in Lagos and Abuja. This makes it quite difficult to assess the exams for many candidates.
Does anyone know what is going on?
There used to be a centre in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Owerri and Kaduna.

PEARSON PLEASE HELP WITH MORE CENTRES.

Nedunwam:



Thanks for your response. The WAEC is GCE. And the CO specifically mentioned the WAEC certificate.

Then it should be easier in terms of timing. Try the WAEC headquarters at Yaba.

Nedunwam:
Dear Friends, please I need serious help, my case officer identified a difference on the date of birth on my wife's wace certificate to that on her passport. The waec reads 23rd march 1993, while her passport reads Dec 12, 1992. Pls I need contact of anyone who works with WAEC office to assist me. I was given 28 days to provide updated certificate (if applicable) pls help a brother who has suffered a lot for this Australia migration stuff plsssssssss.

I think it is much more difficult to change the date of birth on the WAEC cert than the international passport.

If you haven't told your CO that the mistake is on the WAEC cert or the CO didn't specify which of both you should update, then I will advise you update the passport.

The above suggestions are based the assumption that her other documents correspond with the WAEC cert.

If you must do WAEC, then you will need to communicate with her secondary school. I think WAEC has a policy of passing all communications concerning school registered students through the secondary school authority.

I may be wrong on all counts.

Good moring nairalanders.

I want justice pls.

I was jailed 4 years ago when i was arrested,tried and sentenced for fraud.

I was not a criminally minded person but do to the economic hardship and how to provide for my wife and daughter I went into fraud.

My wife was supporting our union with her trade which the income was very low and to feed was war.

To cut the long story short when i was in prison she do visit occasionally but during 3 years spent already she stop visiting.

When i was freed last 2 months and to know what ups I went to where we live and learnt from a neighbour that my wife has parked out from our 2 rooms apartment and is now living with a man.

I got the address,went their and lo and behold she was heavily pregnant for the man.

I felt like fainting that moment and to make matter worse she said it to my face that she can't live with an ex convict.

My 5 years old daughter wants me back but my wife and her family are fighting against that.


I still love my wife despite her betrayal but the pregnancy and her refusal to give me back my daughter is giving me problem.

I want justice against the wife snatcher and i want back my wife and daughter.



Please what is the best ways to go about it so as not to go against the law.

Mods,I want justice.

First, are you legally married to this woman you call your wife? It sounds like you are not.

Secondly, I think you should let the tussle for wife and daughter rest for now. Find your feet, this is just two months after your freedom. Get a source of livelihood and commence the process of rebuilding your life.

To the issue of justice, please relax. I believe your wife may have lost it due to hardship. Forget about justice. Leave her alone. When you are well off financially, you can talk about your daughter.

I know right now you are desperately trying to redeem yourself and to hold on to a worthwhile purpose, hence your perceived need for your wife and daughter, but the reality is that, you do not need that.

May God help you find your feet financially.

hartson:
Hi,His/Her question was if it will be possible to WES ie Canada Evaluation report in place of transcript and send to ACS since he/she could not get a transcript from sch.

I do not know if that is possible.
However, my opinion would be that a WES evaluation cannot equate as transcript from his institution of learning, because it would not carry the school's seal of approval.
My earlier advise was supposed to be a way out.

Chijiuba:
Good afternoon house, please I have a question regarding ACS assessment, I have asked my school for a student copy of my transcript which they declined, Please can I use WES course by course assessment and send to ACS.

You could request that it be sent to your company HR and then you pick it up for your own use.

igwegeorgiano:
Friends on NL I greet you all. Trust your day is going well? It is with very heavy heart and confused state of mind I sent this post on this platform so you can advise me on what line of action I should take. Pastors and genuine men of God should also advise me on what to do as well.

There is this lady i have been dating for about a year and 6 months now. We love each other to the moon and most importantly we respect each other opinion and decisions. She is a born again christian who appreciates the things of God more than she appreciates me which of course I have no issues with.

When we agreed to start up a relationship after being friends for about 6 months, it was agreed that there will be no sex until the wedding night but at a point I asked her "what if we are done with traditional marriage rites are we still not gonna have sex? To my creates surprise she said we won't until church wedding is done. I did not actually took her serious.

Fast forward, on the 15th of July 2019 the traditional marriage was done in her father' compound in the east and all I was asked to pay and give was paid and given without any remainder . after the traditional marriage we went back to my house in abuja. Note that we were not staying together before now. I am base in abuja while she is in owerri. When we got home that night I told her we can now make love as husband and wife hence the traditional rites has been done and most importantly the bride price paid. To my amazement my wife bluntly refused. She told me she will never compromise her stand on pre marital sex

I have been very faithful to our agreement based on her claim that she is a virgin. But refusing me my right over her body after every thing including the bride price has been paid is something I can never subscribed to and to this end I have I have involved her parent and her pastor her decision however, still remain no sex till the wedding night. I am putting the wedding on hold for now until she willingly allow me make love to her and she seems not to be comfortable with my decision as well.

This is the dilemma I have found myself please I need your wise counsels on this. Thanks and remain bless. Moderators kindly push this post to the front page so it can have adequate views it deserves thanks

You point is quite clear that you are trying to change the goal post which you agreed to.

You said she is born again.
You said you both respect one another's decisions and opinions.
You said she told you that she will not have sex till after the church wedding - in clear response to your question in that regard.

Now you are trying to play a fast one on her.
You are trying to coerce her by putting your wedding on hold.
You are trying to paint her as someone who is on the wrong.

NB: The issue here is not sex before marriage.
But your inability to honour your own word.

If you were not in agreement with her decision and her response when you asked about this matter, why didn't you say so?
Why didn't you tell her you can't do what she is asking for.

You are now abusing your authority as a man and head of the family.

Even if she eventually agrees to sex before the church wedding, she will not be happy with you - deep down in her heart, she will not.

You have two options.
1. Keep your word to her and go to church before you have sex.
2. Go back to her kinsmen to collect your bride price - though you would be seriously offending this girl and her family because you broke the agreement not the other way round.

Peace.

Op is simply planning his perfect exit from the country on the basis of religious and sexual harassment while living in the northern part of Nigeria.

His post here today is to have online evidence to buttress his points when he is applying for a visa on the basis of gross intolerance.
