lillaowow: I think delaying of applications all over the world by CDHC is a delibrate attempt to cut-down the numbers of applicants.

Nigeria as a case study:
Most June applicants have been answered over a months and two weeks ago.
Some july applicants have been called close to a months ago.
Someone reported that VAC stopped accepting applications from Winter applicants around the 2nd week in september.
So where exactly is the high number of applications they receive comming from?
I'm sure they don't receive high visiting applications around this time. Who would wanna go to canada at this time (december I mean) for tourism?? Chilling in a -4 degree Celsius all in d name of tourism?

I'm convinced (but not certain) delaying of application is a deliberate attempt or they're just lazy. C'mon, it doesn't even take them a week to reach any decision on an application. #FRUSTRATED..... Abeg, I need my docs back jare esp ma passport make I continue wit ma bankinn transactions.

@pauloman

Tanx man,i got the link,its helpful. How is the preparation?

brokoto: you said its a fact that the non-virgins here are the promiscuous ones who jump from one bed to another? How did you come up wit such FACT oga? You even have a name for the promiscuous ones? SMH. The Jesus you preach didn't call the adulterous woman any name. Remember that!
Virginity till marriage is good no doubt. If i get one with good character, good. If i get a non-virgin with good character, good as well. But make no mistake i will never, i mean never think that a lady is marriage material just because she's still a virgin. Gone are the days when a virgin is a pure lady both in character and lifestyle. Now, all these acclaimed virgins have no idea what it takes to build a home. They just have an intact hymen going for them. No no oga. E no work for me. When i'm ready to marry, i'll look for a decent, intelligent, smart and respectful woman capable of handling a home whether she's a virgin or not. Cheers. . .

pufectskin: Hello guys,
so i am in need of advice on what school to go to in Canada for my MBA. Here is my list of considerations and
i ll appreciate any advice. please be nice in words, I just need help here:
1. I am more keen about a school that offers internship opportunities more than how hard the school is
for instance in the US, Harvard is tough to get into but Drexel is easier but it is also not hard to get a job after Drexel
because Drexel has lots of co-ops and internship ops in d city of Philly and even NYC, MD and Jersey.
2. I would like a place that has quite a bit africans around
3. I would like a place with a system that is closer to the US education system than UK (I have been to UK and I HATED it, but that is just my own personal issue).
4. I got into Schulich but I am not how sure of its diversity which is why I am seeking advice here...Should I go to Schulich?
I havent been to the city where Schulich is and I dont know what is like...but its d business school at York Univ.
I am considering Uni of Calgary but I dunno how hard it'd be..
Any advice?

Cheers

alutacontinua: @justwise, i'm a nigerian but in the carribean rite now. D issue is dt would i be issued a student visa because i'm going to be doing the clinicals in the hospital, not in a school. Also, can i process the visa from here?



Thanks for the site. I'll check it out ASAP.

mercylicious: Dis is nt a study section ooo. Its all inclusive bt we hv more ppl here going 4 studies.

@ poster, I don't know d best visa 4 u 2 pursue.
U do nt want to go 4 studies hence u won't need study visa.
Am nt sure ur skill is in d list of skills required 4 immigrant visa(skilled class).
Nt also sure u hv so much money to invest to go 4 investment class.
Wit tourist visa, u r nt permitted to work.

I advise u go 2 canadian immigration website and check d best type of visa u shld apply 4.

Joe980: @Pauloman...how are you Sir?. Any update for the house?

solbil: @pauloman, why you dey lie like this na. It is in the village people are more ok than in the city slums. They may not have as much cash, people in the village, but they have food. A dollar can buy three square meals in villages. Go to my village in benue to verify it.

toluxa1: This is the wrongest thing I have heard this year. So wrong and so senseless. How will someone same MOST people in nigeria make N20, N50, N100 a day. Bros wake up. Even people that pack shi.t make more than the National minimum wage monthly. What am I saying sef? The hagard looking guy who came to clear our suckaway collected 10k and finised in 5hours and said he was going for another job. That's 20k/per day. MTN or Zenith Bank can't pay you that. Not even NNPC. Go to the rural areas, they may not be rich but they have land and excess food to eat. I have said it at least twice this year, that the 70% of Nigerians live in poverty is a lie from the pit of hell. Guy, people spend money in this country all over. Now I have confirmation since even the world bank claims they have not stats.

kennyGGG: So where are the girls now?

ogugua88: ^^^ Absolutely not. One is to have a squeaky clean record in order to survive abroad as an immigrant. Firstly, they must have known that they are not allowed to work. That is beyond elementary. I'm sure it was in whatever documents they received, they were told, etc. If you migrate, you have to know your rules. Secondly, they're Nigerians. Do realize that we Nigerians are perceived as nuisances. We are treated differently in European nations, our passports are frowned upon, and we are known as 419ers. Whether or not these girls were oblivious to the laws is not of concern to officials, I'm sure. They come from a "stained" nation unfortunately. If they were of different nationality, say France or Germany, mercy might have been considered at the very least. As they're Nigerians, those girls are going home.

shymexx: You're not making any sense at all... Maybe, you need to study why Nigeria is the way it is, before posting your skewed assertions...

Why is Nigeria so corrupt?? Has it ever occurred to you that the whole country is in shambles because of the system of government we practice - and over imitation of western culture on the Nigerian mentality

What's the Nigerian identity?? What should have been the Nigerian identity with it roots in our various cultures has been eroded by western influence - and we don't even know who we're anymore - we're just a bunch of headless chickens trying to fit in somewhere... Don't blame the culture for that - blame the people and their over imitation of everything 'western' at the expense of the Nigerian culture(s)...

The balderdash you posted has nothing to do with the culture - but the people, who have no sense of belonging and are trying too hard to be everything but Nigerian...

pufectskin: Let's stop kidding ourselves; nigerian culture is over hyped! We diasporans like to think we morally better off or our culture is sooo much better dan dat of Americans. If we have such a great culture, why isn't it reflected in our society? Why is Nigeria sooo corrupt? Why do we leave 80% of our society in abject poverty? Why are our leaders; even just regular citizens sooo corrupt? I just got back to Nigeria barely less than a year and been scammed/duped by my best childhood friend (she doesn't pick my calls or returns my BB msgs anymore cos she is ashamed; dis is a girl from a notable family for dat matter). I am sorry to say if u r a diasporan, u really need to come home to see dat we really hv no values in this society anymore. Girls use their bodies to get high marks in unis, even d married girls r on parole, ppl marry for d wrong reasons, d private schools cost as much as american schools but d standard is about 60% close to wat u get in d US, d kids only respect ppl with a lil money, actually every1 here respect only ppl with a lil change; bottomline is I don't know what Nigerian values r...
Americans have a sense of who they are and where they want to be...we know American ideals of Dignity, self respect, hard work, innovation, entrepreneurship, human rights and equal opportunity for all. What are Nigerian ideals? Do we have any? Or are we just fantasizing about family/villages raising kids? How many little kids in Nigeria have d level of advanced thinking an average 5yr old american has? How come we glorify scammers/get rich quick no matter d means men here in Nigeria? We call d scammed maga (I wasn't even greedy when I got scammed...long story for another day).
As I said b4, I have been here less than a year, and I hv concluded dat dis is not d Nigeria I used to know; frankly this is not d type of society where I would love to raise a kid. I want my kids to be exposed to science, innovation, diverse cultures; I want them to know what real love is..., I want them to learn to love ppl for who they are and learn to stand up for what is right...dats not very possible here.
D orientation here is of very low quality. No surprise we r where we r.

Kpac: Power to Change
The govenor of Ekiti state once said "To change this country,you have to be in power"
I have been having some visiting headache since I got the news of the concluding intentions of CBN....
I have carefully studied these things in my capacity and I smell a conspiracy between GEJ,Ngozi and Sanusi....First,if 5000 notes is released,then its a step to increase fuel price in the nearest future,its another step to make huge withdrawals from the foreign reserve,its also a step to borrow a huge amount from World bank,which most probably have been nearing final approval.....Large currency like 5000 naira makes these operations easy and it would make their transactions cheaper....... And to the common man,price of every goods would increase,traansport fares etc...The price of pure water would firm at around 20 naira,the smallest sized bread would be 100 naira.
Don't forget that,the inroduction of 500 and 1000 naira was what made maggi sold for 2 for 5 naira(from 50k), chewing gum,sweets sold for 5 naira each(from 1 naira) etc just because traders was looking for every means to avoid collecting coins of 50k,1 naira and 2 naira.
All part of the Nigerian trade in a common man market eradicated the need for collecting coins by increasing their goods cost to meet up the nearest Note,which was 5 naira,as a result of these,coins disappeared from circulation.
The same would happen if these 5000 note is allowed by Nigerians....The hardship of Nigerians would increase significantly and no one would be spared.
I call on all Nigerians to halt these move....It is a calculation of gain to the government and its close allies and hardship to the masses which makes up more than 85% of the population.
