All the Nigerian bank will do the upgrade and customers will experience same with the other banks soon.

They are just doing the upgrade one after the other.

Once GTB is done with their upgrade, seems like Access bank is next, and that Access will be calamity, they too get customer base.

I trust GTB with their upgrade, surely they will stand out among others.

People should bear with them.

Not just think about fold up, that bank too strong abeg

Both. But come on, can women love without money?.

Help me ask them o

Shey babe no dey abroad ni?

99% of married will crash once a woman have little upper hand than her husband.

No love anywhere

TheBreastSucker:
Don't take your wide from Nigeria to the UK if you're not sure of the strength of your relationship.

Just leave her here and come back every 12 months to suck her breasts

Strength of which relationship?

Nigerian women are all opportunist that have nothing to offer in a relationship.

Pepi001:
In my head both cars. But l can only afford just one.

Both cars are very classy and comfy.

But Na senior man dey use ML

MarksmanD:
My SOP was 33 pages long. My essay alone in my SOP was 8 pages long. I was told to reduce it, but I didn't. There's not a specific rule book to this.

And you think VO will take their time reading 33 pages SOP?

SOP is not even a requirement, many students applied without it and still get their visas.

You already qualified for study permit, reason why you got it, forget SOP.

Meanwhile SOP is still very important o but not a requirement

JMG12:
You can appeal write a letter of explanation why you didn't declear the USA visa refusal. If the appeal is not considered then you can reapply

Someone made a mistake by ommiting a very vital information and you are advising of appeal?

Way forward is to reapply and give a good reason why he/she does not declare such information

resilience001:
the problem was all these were stated in the previous sop. may be it was too long. it was 29 pages. but everything was captured. Can I you advise who can help rewrite? or maybe i rewrite and point them to pages where those information are captured? also does this mean every other thing is fine? thank you so much

VO that have hundreds of application to treat will read 29 pages SOP by a single applicant?

Rewrite your SOP, make it short and be straightforward.

Those guys no get time abeg

Starboytwo:
pls sir, so you have an idea how much a brain box for Honda eod cost?

The ba3 charger said it should not be too expensive.. So I went online and saw 45-50k..
However, rewire said 140k

Ah no get any 140 Kan Kan.

140k bawo

That thing shouldn't cost more than 65k

Starboytwo:
the guy I brought said the same thing. Said my brain box is gone and I'd need to change it.

What baffles me is that, there's is no prior issue, just stopped on the road and this issue started.

Is that how brain box get spoiled?

Yes your brain box is gone

Get a replacement and see the magic

Just like my lawyer friend said [[b]b]It's easy to stay in Africa and interpret the canadian law as a visa applicant via google engin[/b]e, [/b]like you are doing, because I'm 100% sure you're not even in Canada. But my advice to students coming to Canada, especially Nigerians, is to also consider Express Entry. If you plan to come to Canada via the student route, make sure you have your tuition fees and living expenses fully covered. The 20-hour work limit, which is now extremely difficult to secure, cannot cover your tuition fees and rent. Dropping out of school and claiming health issues or homosexuality/domestic violence is an outdated strategy that no longer works. Anyone can sit in their room in Africa and quote the law, but the reality sets in when you land in Canada. Many students are stressed, tired, and frustrated. I wish everyone the wisdom to plan accordingly.thank u

Point...

Honestly IRCC site is sweet and straightforward when reading through but in reality, na 💯 opposite.

Jeboy:
Wow such a touching story.

The mistake you did was to go for Asylum which is not your best bet. Even if you have the best lawyer, when facts are not convincing the Asylum case will be lost.

For others here, when you find yourself unable to pay school fees due to illness or fund (mind you if you are using fund you must explain what happened to your PoF because it was based on that you were given study permit), what you need to do is to apply for Open Work permit under distressed student. It is a provision by IRCC for International students with genuine reasons for not been able to continue there program maybe due to death of their sponsor or illness or some drastic events that can actually stall your study progression. You may be lucky to get two years Open Work Permit and its enough for you to forge your future in Canada. Asylum should not be your 1st option. A lot of people dont know about this option and I hope people will not start abusing it either, cos our people can abuse privileges.

I know the failed asylum records makes it a bad case especially among the 5 eyes countries that collaborates with Canada to share info yet I will advise this fellow to approach the service of an experienced Canadian Lawyer who can examine your situation and advise accordingly. Sorry for your experience.

Easier said than done.....

That option you narrated is not easy either

Doublej805:
I'm not arguing it, I just want to confirm, because someone here also said he has access to his application portal, and that the tracker is saying application close, but from his portal he hasn't gotten any response yet...

Anyways
I wish you the best.

What I know and sure of is, once tracker says application closed, it's 💯 certain that decision has been made on the main application portal.

Logingist:
You get feedback from the people in Canada but you think they discouraging. You rushed to nairaland believing the narrative will change. Dey play 😆😆😆

Maybe we should sugar-coat am for him/her so confidence go set in to apply

Doublej805:
Congratulations sir, please I want you to help us that used an agent to confirm something, please can you track your application to confirm if your background check is still showing processing or completed... because my application is saying closed.. but my agent said he hasn't gotten any message, that the message he got he has worked on it, that I should hold on... please help a brother..

Oga
So your agent still dey whine you 😔

IRCC don close your application portal with them, decision has been made tay-tay.

Your agent told you to hold on as if na him wan decide your visa outcome.

Make una dey play o

Comradealex1:

Kobojunkie:
How can the money find its true value when it has nothing to really defend itself with except the money that is continually being dropped down the drain to prop it up? Nigeria has no industry or infrastructure in place to boast of and nothing to show for it being a nation as large as it is. The source of the money being used to shore up that money will eventually run out. What then?

Just wait and see

Remember no more importation of fuel, diesel and kerosene.

Monetary policy takes time to manifest

Kobojunkie:
I have only given you a idea based on the much i was able to track via news reports. I didn't say the government has not or is not now shoring up the Naira as we speak.

The point is this strategy is not working for Nigeria and Nigerians since the problem remains unresolved when after so much money thrown at it, money that could have been better used elsewhere.

Well you are right....

All the money used to defend the naira is vanishing but there is no way a country like Nigeria will leave it currency on a free flow, even many of the develop nation still defend their currency one way or the other.

CBN won't have choice than to defend this naira till it find it's true value

Kobojunkie:
In March, Tinubu used $1 billion to defend the Naira but that money disappeared for nothing. In August, it attempted the same With another $100 million from the same foreign reserves, and that also amounted to nothing. Do you not see that such attempts do not work?

Wait...

Do you believe 1650 is the true value of the naira?

walenden:
I understand what you're saying, but I don’t fully agree with the statement that "our future is already more secure than those who didn’t take risks because they were scared". As a businessman myself While some risks are worth taking, it's important to recognize that not all struggles lead to a better future. We shouldn’t romanticize hardship or struggle just because we took a big leap. Many people make sacrifices, and sometimes, despite their best efforts, things don’t turn out as planned.
Supporting each other emotionally is crucial, no doubt, but we also need to be realistic. The stress my brother is facing in Canada isn’t just a passing phase—it reflects a system that doesn’t always favour immigrants, especially students. He left home hoping for something better, but the reality on the ground is far from easy. We need to keep pushing, but also critically evaluate how we can make things better for ourselves instead of waiting for things to improve on their own, The risk we took is already done; now we need strategy, support, and real opportunities to move forward, not just hope. student struggling in Canada are not fighting any demon; the issue at hand is about finances, not something Spiritual!

Leave that one make he dey console himself

peleson1:
Tinubu should use half of subsidy savings to defend naira shikina

On point

Govt should use it gradually till naira find it's true value

clayfounder:
I appreciate this information, and thank God I didn’t rush to pay, even though the guy kept calling me, morning and night saying the slots would finish soon and i need drop part-payment urgently . I decided to go check him at his house to discuss one-on-one, only to find out from the landlord that he moved out last month, as the police were looking for him due to money and passports he collected from different people. When I called him and told him I was at his house, he immediately hung up, and his phone has been switched off since.

Haha 😂
You see, dude need money badly hence looking for prey....

Calling day and night for Canada working visa slot....
Thank God you don't dull yourself, if not ehn, na OYO.

Information is power.

God bless who invent internet
God bless Mr Seun osewa of Nairaland

PLEASE,Does anyone know about the Canada Special Sponsorship Work Visa? An agent told me he has 10 slots available, and I need to pay a ₦550,000 deposit, with the balance deducted in installments once I start working in Canada. The visa will supposedly be ready within 3 months. The package includes free accommodation, work on a farm in Canada, a free plane ticket, and free feeding. However, he said I need to pay quickly before the slots close. I was refused a visitor visa this year, and I'm thinking this might be a good chance.

Canada special sponsorship work 😂😂😂

The agent wan run you street, maybe he need money urgently for ticket to Japa lol 😂

Nothing like free accommodation, free food, free air ticket with Canadian job, even at that, Africans does not qualify for Canada farm work visa.

Shine your eyes.

Go on Canadian government website and check if you see such visa nah

Good one from FG

Host country don't even send pilgrimage coming from the third world countries

olisaEze:
Dude just get yourself a Corolla, those cars are not for this economy.

Not everybody wants Corolla.

Some people want luxury, which Corolla cannot offer

gofigurena:
I estimated the clearing for each vehicle at around 2 million naira. I then added the vehicle's price and shipping cost.

Clearing fee for 2m 😂😂😂😂

I don't think you can clear any of those vehicles less than 5m

Skyfornia:
We are tired of all these permutations ...just bring the price of fuel to N300/litre at most.

300/litre is possible only if FG work on our exchange dollar rate.
This people aren't serious

I will personally prefer Acura MDX, that car is too comfy abeg, then maybe Crosstour

elzi:
Good day everyone. Please I need advice on what to do. My agent applied for Canadian visit visa for me early this year. Went for biometrics in February. During this waiting period, there was minimal or no communication at all with the said agent up until yesterday.
He said my visa approval is out that I should pay his balance service charge, before releasing the letter to me then go to the embassy for passport submission.
I reminded him of our initial agreement which was seeing my stamped passport before final payment. He agreed to send the approval letter to me only on the condition that he will blur some parts. I'm thinking the blurred part will be my application number which I don't have access to.
Please what do I do because I don't have access to my portal to see my status. What if the agent is trying to scam me

Why not visit him?
Let him show you your ppr request msg live and direct.

This thing no hard nah

Asquare84:
I keep getting this error message on my Mercedes 211, what could be the solution please

Check alternator.
It's not given enough current

nairalanda1:
Simple. All those countries produce far more oil than Nigeria, for populations that are less than Nigeria. (KUwait has 6 million people, Oman has about less than 20 million, Saudi has 40 million, and produces ten times what we produce in oil, Qatar has one million and produces nearly 1.2 m barrles per day)

So, per capita, they got more dollars to spend on buffering their currencies, than NIgeria, where, even assuming that our leaders were nice and good people that did not do looting, has limited amount of money.

As 'strong' as their economies are, most nations would prefer to do business in dollars, pounds, euros, and even chinese currency, and yen....because the countries that have those currencies are simply industrial exporters. Heck, I think that even swiss currency better pass Saudi.

And it cost those countries a lot of money to maintain strong currencies...when oil prices fell in 2014, Saudi spent over 100 billion dollars in ten months just to keep the riyal strong. (That led to some changes, including the government eventually setting up a soverign wealth fund).


Nigeria's problem is that we can't do as they do, because we have a large population to spend on. Yaradua was one of the most stingy presidents in NIgerian history, yet at the end he was able to save at least 60 billion dollars in our reserve. Too many people means that a lot of our oil revenue has to be spent meeting needs NOW.....and what we can save , even with prudence, is too little


Ultimately, we have to use our resources to manufacture stuff for export. That is the way. If oil becomes obsolete tomorrow, all those countries will fall.

You too good abeg.... your analysis is top notch.

Population is one of the major factor of the problem in Nigeria, we are not producing enough and also not productive

Kurukuru:
These are the people giving false hope to other people. Let us do the maths.I will go for the extreme senario which is very rare. There are 24 hours in a day. Let say the student work 24 hrs daily from one job to another. For three weeks, the student cant work more than 504 hours. No care job pay more than $30/hr in Canada. $30 is the highest. Pay ranges between $16 and $25.

Let us go for $30 per hr. . For three weeks, that student would work 504 × 30, which is $15,120.

Then where did he/she get the $20,000 you said the student paid after three weeks?

😂😂😂😂

504hrs in three weeks bawo.
That one na die nah.

For a student to even save 20k cad in a year is almost impossible sef
