@overlord77 Please have you or any other person received invitation to the job fair scheduled for tomorrow as promised by Eric?Because I attended the information session and have not received their invitation.

Hello @Lawlar1, as at right now, still no email from them yet.

I have firend that got the attached letter. Any way to fix this?

Manitoba supporter is actually not cousin, but Sister inlaw.

The primary applicant husband has kid sister in Manitoba.

Hmmm, your friend started off by lying which is misrepresentation. I wonder why some people always try to beat the system. Well, he/she should explain him/herself with a detailed explanation. I know they don't take misrepresentation likely.

Yesterday around 12:30pm, I was on my way to ShopRite Enugu, on getting to the gate, I was blocked by the kids selling nose masks, so I applied brake and wind down trying to purchase one for myself.

Unknown to me there was a bullion Van approaching, I was not really blocking the road but the bullion Van just from no where hit my car from behind and caused a lot of damage to my headlights and bumper, and I was bleeding from the nose too, before I got down, they drove off with police escort.

I was advised by people around not to pursue them but after a while I tracked them into the CBN bank in Enugu. ....

My car is a Toyota Corolla 2015, Please how do I get this people to pay because I just bought the car and I don't think I was really blocking the road. The bullion Van driver did this on purpose.

Did you get the plates if they didn't cover it up

Influential101:

Why do you end every sentence with "ooo"? that's mannerism and you need to drop it "ooo"

Wow @barby008, that was a long ride. congrats.

Does it mean these information sessions NB holds actually increases ones chance of getting LOI from the province. I got a mail from them on the 19th for Info sessions for those in IT sector holding tomorrow, one in April and a third in May 2022.

ploff:
Please did anyone also get an invitation to a virtual NB information session. And will attending this session guarantee Nomination?

I got the invitation, for ICT sector.

unitysheart:
It is long overdue.

Don't rejoice yet, it's Nigeria. These Chinese mafias have the money, they will just bribe their way through this and resume their illegal business as usual.

What is the connection between daddy GO and ITA now? Amazing people

Allegory:
There's an app called 'Barter by Flutterwave', I think you download it and sign up then they create a virtual dollar card for you that you can fund with your naira card. I've never used it, but you can use the NL search button to find out more on how it works.

But I heard the rate is gangster.

aribisala0:
You are ignorant. He can buy /source his oil from ANYWHERE.
Why should it be sited in a major oil producing state?
Why not in a major petrol consuming state. That is a business decision. Dangote's decision
Just like Nigeria is importing petrol today there are other countries that import petrol and he could export his product. He is not even obliged to sell in Nigeria

India has the largest refinery in the world. It imports its oil
It is one of the largest consumers in the world.
Industries may site close to raw materials or close to market or anywhere else
Europe does not produce any Cocoa but produces more chocolate than Africa.Why?
Purge yourself of hatred, bitterness and envy

Good response but you should have just ignored him. It's obvious from his comment, he's not smart or knowledgeable but just made his comment just to feel like he's said something meaningful in his life.

Albert Einstein once said "Two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity and I am not sure about the universe" ........

What is holding angel Gabriel from blowing the trumpet.

We are who we are, the world is what it is.

How d you know it's angel Gabriel with the trumpet. I think any angel with trumpet should just blow and not wait for a particular angel cos the matter don tire me. What's this now and it made frontpage. Hmmm

Raalsalghul:
Chances are you'll do the same when you get married to your husband too so why complain.

Exactly, they are all the same no exceptions. Someday in no distant future, her SIL will also come on here to tell us how her brother's wife is so rude and wicked. Vicious cycle I tell ya. These female folks are some kinda specie, can't be understood. You have money, they will trouble you,. You dont have, same shit. I wonder why that is.

Tell me, how can a couple separate after 20+ years of being together? Even with all the wealth of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk,didn't stop it. Women are smth else people

artofalternativ:
Ah. At least they're aware of it, even if it seems they're only offering it to people that have close interview dates. I will reach out to them as well, also hopefully it expands to include more people in the coming months.

Thank you!

Alright lady. I really hope they go back to drop box and extend to persons with expired visas up to 72months as I read in a portion of their website. Mine expired January 2020. Whe whole of 2020/21 was plagued with COVID.

AmeliaT:
Thanks a lot for the prompt response; much appreciated. Are you able to share what they said? Do you have more clarity now?

See my initial enquiry with responses below. Name blurred out for security reasons.

Hello,

I have a US visa (B1/B2) that expired May 2020 and I lapsed on renewing it because of pandemic wahala. I'm starting a fresh application to visit family this year ending (by God's grace) and a friend of mine told me that there's a new directive from the US government extending the period for granting interview waivers to up to 24 months after expiry. I saw some articles from late last year that mention that, however when I checked the USTravelDocs site for Nigeria it was still showing 12 months.

Please does anybody have any information about this?

This matter of interview waiver for persons with expired Visas is becoming confusing. I did get in touch with the US consulate in Abuja yesterday and below was there response:

Former Military President, General Ibrahim Baadamasi Babangida (rtd), has endorsed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to contest for the office of President come 2023 general elections.

He described Osinbajo as a personality the nation should look up to for leadership.

Gen Babangida disclosed this on Thursday when a pressure group, Osinbajo Grassroots Organisation (OGO) paid him a courtesy visit at his Hilltop Residence in Minna, Niger State on Thursday.

The elderstateman stressed that Osinbajo is a man that can mobilise and engineer growth in the country.

Who gives a rats ass, who IBB endorses? Is this supposed to be news? Someone that's supposed to be languishing in jail till his dying days is who we are making news outta what he's saying. This country can never make, walahi.

SmartPolician:
Hi Webmasters,

I felt like creating this post because I grasp how powerful the internet is. In clear terms, the Internet transcends all geographic borders, ushering people into a world of endless opportunities.

Given how the internet allows us to work from home, work for foreign companies and earn juicy pays, I want to know why some of us are not taking the opportunities yet.

For instance, excellent coders, digital marketers, graphics artists, web developers, content writers, and many other talented people who sell digital skills ought to be working for foreign companies from home instead of working for Nigerian firms for peanuts.

So, do you fall into this category? If yes, why do you prefer working for Nigerian firms as opposed to firms based out of the United States or elsewhere in the world for better pay, opportunities and exposure?

On the other hand, if you do work for these foreign companies on full-time or part-time basis, how did you land the job?

About time someone said something meaningly. There are a couple of these guys that good wed developers and programmers can work with even while resident in Nigeria. Some of them eventually sponsor you to relocate after proving your worth over couple of months of churning out quality works. here are a few;

Hello great minds.
Can I pay permanent residence application which is over 1k dollars with my Nigeria debit card?
Has anyone done it before? I need guidance on this pls.

You can if you've got a USD denominated Mastercard or visa card. But for naira debit cards, naa. The limit on those are $200 monthly.

hunclecj:
Thanks I actually applied and had 2 interview sessions with November. My suspicion was raised cos if the “payment before offer letter “ line.

Was it a video interview and why would an employer ask you for payment? Please be very careful

EsoEso:
You are not far from the truth, though it's dishartneing. FSW draw will most likely happen first Quarter of 2022. Conference organised by immigration lawyers last month in Canada where there was a representative of ircc, somehow revealed what likely we are to expect next year. When asked why there has not been general draw this year, he replied that because of the travel restrictions ircc focused on meeting the target for 2021. So they concentrated on inland applications and invitations just to meet up with their annual quota. He said from 2022, outlands application and invitations will be focused on.
So my thoughts are, when draw finally resumes, ITAs will be dished out regularly with force and hopefully things will speed up. Let's keep hope alive. Last last everybody go dey alright.

Alternatively, for those in Health or Tech sector, try and secure a job offer as that is a sure and faster way to move while FSW or PNPs are being delayed.

For starters, I came across New Brunswick page https://www.talentgnb.ca
Y'all check it out

What's with all these PNP draws?
