Piro4rl: DONT TAKE HER SERIOUS RATHER LET HER BE THE ONE TO TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP MORE SERIOUSLY.

Good skill...this will confirm if she really loves u and wants to be with u no matter what

Sijo01: there are some early twenties dat more cool headed and also kno wat dey want more dan some late twenties......in others words, maturity is not defined by age.

I agree with u a 100% but such are very very few no thanks to the poverty level and the breakdown of the family unit

munky: my current gf is 21 and am 27. this relationship has had its own ups and down. not been easy at all. at dis age most girls dont see any man as their future husband or life partner. so you really need patience and self control.

My gal frend is only 20,graduating next month frm the university,a hottie n i mean a real hottie like a 9/10 rating,tall,chocolate color,slim ,intelligent ,model figured ,a fair enof churchy type not a religious fanatic or SU,well groomed in home made activities. Though she exhibits some attitudes atimes but not to d extreme. Did i mention that she is still a virgin too. I am engaged to her already n we are getting married soon. Oh and im in my early 30s and she is madly in love with me.


I would say i prefer her to an old late 20s gal whom sometimes could be a very hard nut to crack wen it comes to relating because some of them believe they have seen it all so wat do u want to tell them or do to them that they havent seen before. They also pretend a lot.

So poster the answer is stick to wat ur comfortable with n wat works for u.

galala123: He did not say he is working with glo directly

Well he is working for glo as a csr and even if he got into the company through glo's sister company as stated , my point is for him to get documentary evidence in the form of a study leave which is approved by either glo or an affiliate company . He is not married an the idea of getting a document showing that the late father's property is entirely willed to him sounds a bit vague to me when he obviously has other sibblings. So i think the former sounds more cogent . He needs to show proof that he will be coming back to Nigeria after his studies #IMHO#

ancient1: Mr obama, yes I quite agree with u that if you were d vo u would most likely deny me, reason being that you probably wouldn't go through my application at all. Whoever said I was going in for an msc again, I thought I said mba...they are two different qualifications. If the vo had issues about my qualifications and why I intend studying I would have been refused for not being a bonafide student ......or don't u think so. Secondly , of course I have other accounts but I didddnt think I needed to submit more than one since I'm not even sponsoring myself, the most reasonable one to submit would be the salary account since I claim to be working....I know of people who did not even submit personal bank account at all because they were being sponsored or they were even unemployed I know someone else with salary of 64k that got the visa so what r u saying? I know i have a pretty good profile and I would get d visa eventually. I need to show stronger ties to my country, that I would do in my next application . I studied and worked briefly in d uk and I left voluntarily with over a years residence permit on my passport . I did not like d place and I left and I came back and got a job. I thought that should show d vo that im not desperate to live abroad. You cannot predict these people , just package your application well.

@sirp; thanks for your input that one makes sense.

I must correct obamacare's annalysis about ascribing ur denial to ur choice of program and the fact that u have done ur Msc in the uk. Ur study profile is beautiful and very progressive enough which i feel the VO can never fault.


However, i believe u shot urself in the leg by not putting enough congent documents to convince the VO of ur financial sufficiency in Canada. If i were in ur shoes i would have not only put my mother's personal account statement of 10milla but also put the company business account if it shows financial bouyancy and operation n good financial flow. Even putting ur personal account statement is not too necesary since u have unequivocally stated ur mum as ur sponsor. But to beef up ur application cogency its necesary u add ur personal account statement and it should also show some bouyancy too.


Furthermore,ur ties issues too was pretty suspect and gave u away. What i would have advice u do is to get a letter from the company u work with to indicate that they are in approval of ur study plans to Canada and would be expecting you back after ur program(more like they are giving u a study leave). To me that is more cogent,contrary to sir P's suggestion. Glo is an internation branded company so they will respect such a letter. My 2cents. All d best. Cheers!

mercylicious: @All, thanks for ur concern.
I already submitted my application before I found this forum.
I took a lot of things for granted while applying .This is because my friend dt applied before me got their Visa easily so I followed their unexperienced advise. Am on my way to Lag now, so ill visit Vac tommorow to collect my documents and also know their reason.
I will re-apply, and this time, no VO can stop it.
I've already started calling friends for funds. Ill beef my current acnt wit funds, leave for 2 weeks and print statement which ill use to re-apply.

I like your spirit gal...be strong ! U are only down but not out. U on misfired so stand up and Refire n gun down ur target this time around !

I have always read ur posts here with a smile @ some of ur comments. Ur vivacious and encouraging words to does that get their trv and to those that are refused respectively. U got the spirit of a winner and i believe we all shall celebrate with u wen u get ur trv finally. All the best dear .

Eze Promoe: Please i'm having my paper and pen right here with me now, give me the name of the school, i don't mind working as a cleaner in the school, please do that with prompt action.

My friend u dey there dey form james bond abi... Wen dem employ u eh,u go see pu$%sy u go run without being sacked !

Kessyy2k4: I wonder wetin dis ibori is gaining by stealin our money 2 abroad, wen u can invest in ur country & nig wil benefit. Evry 4 theif 1 day 4 owner! Mayb u may enjoy some lessn wt ur fellow inmate prisoners 2 stp stealin public money abroad

If that Ibori can steal all that much money from Delta state then one can be sure that his cousin Uduaghan is stealing double if not more than his mentor did...Smh for this country !

gboss4sure: Just to avoid refuge when the war finally breaks out.... Am i the only one seeing this things

Guy u have a point there ooo...!

subtleb: The problem we re facing in dis country is far more beyond her being appointed as PS.
What i think we nigerian need is dat an IQ Test should be included as part of the requirement to choose those to serve in major offices, right from d Presidency to local govt.
Hmm well it means dat PS is now more of a title rather dan a call for duty.

U can say that again...!!

ogugua88: But still, she was making appearances and such as a First Lady, otherwise why give her a stage and microphone? It's not even like she wants it included in the Constitution for duty purposes. If that was the case, we'd be supporting her.

Oh she does want her frst lady role constituitionalised because as she argued she wants to be getting her benefits after serving as one...i guess that was why the perm sec position was arranged for her to get her her benefits from there after service. Go figure.... !

This country is full of so much drama !

galala123: Thanks Pauloman. Will study your suggestions deeper now. Problem is that assets and cash at hand are 2 very different things, for instance, I have been working on my hotel for the past 3 years even though it is operational re-investing / ploughing back every kobo from that business back and even moving money from other sources there. Such businesses are very capital intensive but you get a long flow of income which will can be of benefit to you children and grand children unborn. And remember, your workers will be cutting your throat too.

Sometimes these folks expect you to cough out the kind of cash that they don't even see in their society as they mostly live on credit by spending money not yet earned. I wont go and start selling stuff for this purpose. I also read about people waiting for years (some 8 years) in que and then even being disappointed eventually. I also believe that all these things can be done much more easily, within shorter waiting times and with dignity if you are applying from within their country. That's why I wanted to get there first. See how we wait like refugees for student visa? Sometimes you stoop to conquer once you know what you want. I was not going for any program or certificate to use to feed eventually so I chose something that will give my brain enough free space as , believe me, it is hot enough everyday already trying to survive in a business environment where people hardly keep their promises and always have very good reasons for failing to keep their commitments. Even if you succeed "relatively" in such an environment, you wont want your kids to go through such stress. Sometimes you do supply and the people in house want to corner everything from security man at the gate to ....... so you end up with nothing sef, but then you console yourself and say, maybe I will hammer another day and...well I have the records to show VO!

Like USA, once you get there and see street begging, you will begin to wonder what all the fuss at the embassy is about. At that stage, you see less "shakara" from them.

Lol i feel u my brother ! I am also into business too but also a professional civil/building engineer. But i had to weigh my options @ getting to Canada. First i applied as a student which was not successful. Then i decided to apply as a skiilled worker in the Federal skilled worker program ,since i am a professional with two seperate degrees and a good amount of years of experience. Right now i am just waiting for my PRV after i did my medicals about a month ago although i have applied since 2010.


What i am trying to say is that u use what u have to get what u want and move to the next level of your life. As per the long wait times. I think CIC is gearing to change all that and besides if u will apply as i recommended in my earlier post its better you apply over there in Canada using an immigration lawyer who can oversea things better for you. I can link u up if and when u are ready.

Also with this program u are set to migrate to Canada with all your family members which i feel is better.

I forgot to mention that with this investor class program u are pre-qualified for an initial Business Exploratory Trip to Canada

@ galala123
These are criterias for the investors PRV program in Canada :
* Are u worth $1,600,000 (in assets,investment n cash)?
*Have u managed a business for at least 2years in the past 5years?

Alternatively,

*Have u in the course of Managerial cadre employment overseen 5 full time jobs for @ least 2years in the last 5years?
*Are u ready to make a passive investment of $800,000 in a Canadian bank for 5years ,after which your money will be returned?


Alternatively,


Are u ready to make an investment of $180,000 in a Canadian bank for 5years; for which the bank will finance the difference of $620,
000?

IF U MEET ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA ,then u are prequalified to appy for immigration to Canada under the investors class

Danyl: what if you are going for a course to combine with another course you already have of which without a thorough knowledge of the two it will be hard to have a go. for instance, bioinformatics is a course that combines computer science especially software programming/algorithm designs and biology/biochemistry, and you are going for an undergraduate course in computer science to support ur previous degree in biological sciences.. what do you have to say to that...

If u must do such i believe u should have a strongly worded letter of intent of ur study in Canada detailing ur reasons behind ur choice of study. Even if they have any doubts with your by the time they see ur logical reason and line of argument they will accept.


The reason why some are called for interview by the embassy is because they have probably seen some slight inconsistencies which they doubt and they need u to come sway their doubts. Just like newacca highlighted in an earlier post that he strongly packaged his 2nd application n was later called for an interview after which he was told to go do his medicals after 13days.

So really packaging is key to a successful application because is what they see that u have stated n provided as a supporting document that will convince them to give u a visa

galala123: Hello house,
The reasons for your refusal are indicated below:

1. You have not satisfied me that you have adequate funds available to you to pay for your tuition and living expenses while in canada and to return to your country of residence (NOT APPLICABLE /UNCHECKED)

2. You have not satisfied me that you will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for your stay (APPLICABLE /CHECKED)

3. You have not submitted all required documentation (NOT APPLICABLE /UNCHECKED)

4. From the documents which you submitted in support of your application, I am not satisfied that you have answered all questions truthfully, as required by subsection 16 (1) of the immigration and refugee protection act. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information was truthfuk:__________________________________________ (NOT APPLICABLE / UNCHECKED)

5. You have not satisfied me that you are a bona fide student (APPLICABLE / CHECKED)

6. Other reasons: ____________ "NOT CREDIBLE" (Hand written)


Not really surprised. I admit my application was curious from the onset.

I applied for a post secondary diploma program in an entirely different field from my previous field of study even though I have an MBA since 2004, currently employ almost 30 people, showed government contracts (Supplies) my companies executed worth over $300,000 within the 12 month period prior to my application, Evidence of fully paid up property in Abuja and UK, Evidence of hotel ownership, evidence of my Abuja business office with annual rent and service charges of over $50,000 payable to an international property management firm annually.

Unfortunately, my passport was stolen in switzerland last year with 2 years unexpired US visa, 5 years ( just 1 month old) UK visa which I only used to spend 1 night only @ a heathrow hotel on my way to switzerland, 6 months Indian business visa, schenghen visa and over 20 dubai entry stamps, about 20 UK entry stamps (in fact, my thumb print did not register at UK border agency on my way from US last year, when the staff saw my entry stamps, they said "oh, you come here very often so dont worry, welcome again". I appreciated my travel history that day.

so I submitted a new passport which had 5 years unused UK visa, 6 months Indian business visa which I used once to go to India and 1 Dubai entry stamp in the new passport as well. I submited switzerland police report and Emergency travel certificate copy obtained from Nigerian Embassy in switzerland which I used to return from switzerland.

The passport issue gives me great concern as I am punished everywhere I go as if I lost it intentionally. In fact British Airways refused to bring me back just a week after taking me there despite the police report emergency travel certificate and I had to buy a klm ticket to come back. I had to pay full money and provide all docs again for UK visa replacement as if it was a new case and US visa section said I have to reapply again as a person that has never gotten US visa before even though I traveled to US about 4 times last year alone and I have a son who is a US citizen by birth.

My story is getting long. Thinking of applying for Business Entrepreneurship PG program. I applied for diploma in social works and even the student advisor from the school advised me to go for their International development program and was ready to offer me spot admission after seeing my credentials. I was lazy and turned the offer down coz did not want to start running to get my transcripts from my university (though I did not tell her this part oh).

My story for others to learn. Recommendations and advise please.

Wow u mean u have all these credentials and u went so low as to apply as a student visitor in Canada? To even worsen the situation u now went and applied for a pgd or was it a diploma when u evidently have an MBA?

My brother having a credential as urz and reviewing your application by the VO,he must have been suspicious of ur true intentions to come and study. With my little experience with the embassy,they dont fancy inconsistencies in any application. Hence,ur trv refusal !


Since u obviously have that much money as u claim,then u should be applying for ur PRV directly instead of a trv. You can do this through the Canadian Investor Program or the Canadian Enterprenuership Program since u are a business man. All u need do is package ur application very or better still get an immigration lawyer in Canada that will package one for u and rep u all the way to get PR visa.

Ur case is just like having a diamond or gold in ur hands and u are busy still picking stones. Please be progressive in ur plans and not otherwise,the VOs value that alot and that is why they want to have a feel of ur history when u apply for a visa. All the best Bro. Cheers !

A girl that truly loves u can neva dump u bcoz of a pix u took with another girl . Best u move on ! BTw where is da pix...we need to sight it for clearer judgment

afam4eva: I think you're right though but why the abuse. Don't you have home training?

Guy u asked for it n u just got served as he dey hot lol #nooffence#

lol such a funny thread wit so much drama n yabbis !

idirect: Then do the honourable thing,resign

SIMPLE !!! This GEJ is a huge joke....now he is looking for a way to rationalise his failed government. A good leader should be ready for the unexpected and have a plan B in place if plan A does not work. But of course you obviously aren't charismatic enough to know that ! BS !!

solomon okeigar: No photograph on it

Yea thanks he already confirmed that statement from the embassy too

solomon okeigar: Thank God o. I've gotten my visa. I can now delete the tracking link from my bookmarks. lol

Congratz man ! Im happy for you !! Please a friend of mine dat i met when i went for medicals exactly four weeks ago from today just got his trv today and his status changed in the morning so he had to fly to lagos to recieve it. But he wants to know how ur own trv looks like because according to him his photograph was not on the document given to him. Expecting ur prompt reply. Please i would appreciate it if u describe how urz look like in detail. Thanks bro n congratz one again !

Demdem: I disagree with u on fact three even though u have refused to answer my earlier questions.

The perm Sec post is an highly coveted post in the civil service and it has quite a lot of benefits. are u aware that one of the key criminals in the national pension scheme fraud was also a perm sec? Besides that, the salaries and allowances arent bad at all coupled with the ones u are entitled to steal. Above all, there is also a juicy pension scheme as long as retire well which is the icing on the cake for all civil servants.

For now, no one seems to know her porfolio, she may probably be a Perm sec for the Bayelsa state liason office in Abuja

@all : its a pity u guys cant see the bigger picture in this dumb move...GEJ knows he is going to lose political relevance after 2015,so inorder to still remain in the corridors of power,he is try to launch his wife into the political arena to enable him rule his state again through his wife being a Governor of that state in time #somebodymarkmywords#

uneeking: My Dear Brothers and Sisters, here is some food for thought. I accidentally stumbled on this information only today. If this is true, Nigeria is definitely in grave danger. All those calling for GEJ's head may be falling into a long planned trap. Please read the information here carefully:http://newsrescue.com/boko-haram-a-cia-covert-operation-americas-destabilization-plots-against-nigeria-greenwhite-coalition/#ixzz1yUDFebna.[i][/i] May the Almighty God save Nigeria from its friendly enemies in Jesus name, Amen

Hey Mr man cut this crap you just posted ! When a man cannot ride a bicycle on a long road instead of him to admit his lack of riding skills he is blaming the road for not being able to ride the bicycle. #Rubbish#

tunapawizzy: dis life is very complex. deep evaluation of events all over keeps convincing/confusing me on certain issues that m even scared to share. every passing day i get an extra reason to doubt the existence n credibility of some things. I think there is an exaggeration or a total non existence of one particular concept. If not why are things the way they are...why are people with least inclination to a supreme being d most successful. I just wonder.

My brother i think i understand your plight. You see living in this cold world should be very simple,at least that is what God our creator intended it to be from the very begining with the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. He just wanted both to follow a simple instruction he laid down for them and all of human race would have been living in peace. But no,they disobeyed Him(God) courtesy of the Devil tempting and confusing them to do the contrary.


If you look deeply you will see that same pattern is still playing out in the most basic level even till this very day. Life is meant to be simple when we keep our focus on God and get our minds off the distractions of the devil and its whims he uses to distract us like money,wealth accumulation,women etc the minute we focus our minds on these,the more our reasoning our lives become more complex by the day and thereby eluding us of the peace of mind we ordinarily should enjoy be being contented with the basic things of life God has provided us with.


We humans should strive to live a life of contentment and humility which Jesus Christ himself exemplified in his short life on earth and which God originally intended for mankind in the garden of Eden! Anything farther from this is what is causing the whole world to be in the confusion it is facing today.


But never make anyone decieve you that God does not exist for we can attest to the existence of His Supernatural existence in alot of ways even if man has disappointed Him. Look around and you will feel the existence of His Mighty works,you dont need a pastor to show that to you. Truth is God shares and wants to share a rich personal,one on one relationship with each human being as He did with Adam and Eve before the fall and dont need an intermediary in the form of a pastor,overseer or what not to do that.

NB: I am not a pastor but an ordinary man trying to discover life too just like you

paris10: God is a patient God. It's somewhat disheartening to see that most of the Pentecostal Pastors now pursue self-fortune and fame as to serving their flocks. Poor pastors are now using the rich pastors as people they would love to become. They now crave for the wealth of these pastors and would do anything to get there.

You see a new pastor in a Church today, very vibrant and enthusiastic about serving God, the next time you see him he'd be thinking about having his own Church. Why? 'cause he now know how much money is coming in for the Church he's pastoring. They all want to have their own Church! What happened to being in one Church and serve forever? What happened to the thousands of Churches around whose chairs are still being filled? Must these 'pastors' start a new Church? And if they have to leave, have they thought about joining an existing Church?

Is God then so disorganize that HE would tell every one of these so-called 'pastors' to leave a Church (some leave with fight)that have nurtured them and start a new one? And they all have the same story line " When I heard the call". What 'call'? Call to service or call to making money and extorting the gullible and naive?

Christians are bunch of hypocrites especially those that attends Christ Embassy, Winners, Redeemed, Rhema and lots more. CE members even finds it a big deal to go to another Church when invited. These bunch don't even invite pastors from another denomination to their sect, always citing "they are hypocrites".

"Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" isn't referring to the likes of the Oyedepos, Adeboyes' the Oyakhilomes and so forth. These guys have taken Christianity to a whole new level, yes, new level of corruption, distortion, brainwashing, and above all, out of context preaching.

The Bible says "judge righteous judgement",yes, not just "judge not" that so many gullible Christians are aware of, which mean criticize that which is bad and rebuke sharply that which is evil. Nathan confronted and rebuked David on his sin with Bathsheba (1 Sam. 12). So did General Joab, who confronted David on his sinful conduct after the death of his son Absalom (2 Sam. 19:5-. Many abusive leaders misuse that verse to say they are above criticism, but that is a misuse of that text to keep themselves accountable to no one.

Why don't we just build one big Church in each town and attend together e.g people of Ikeja will attend the Ikeja one, so also, people of Alausa their own. There will be no more this denomination thing and fraud would then be minimize.

Thank you very much for your insightful analysis and this is why i still fancy and respect the orthordox chuches till this day,especially Catholic. But the devil will always want to spread its propaganda about anything Godly and make it look like a sham !

nipeks001: You are burning my chest,so it's pple like you that take pleasure in failing studen.Haba you yourself said why they did is probably bcoz they are trying to beat the time and still yet,you still wished to fail them..And you were talking about them buying their sucess with money,it's not as if they don't know it,they only made some mistakes by abbreviating some of their words and also, do you think federal or state universities student don't abbreviate?.Bottom line,pple like you should be added to one of the reasons student fail unnecessarily(Teacher s that fail student for no cogent reason).

This your post is so irritating and reeks of bad parenting attitude ! You are the likes that find it hard to discipline your children by encouraging them to be mediocres in the society.!!

faithin9ja: Rubbish!!!!

every generation believes the younger generation is in a worse position.
Just because you grew up without a television that means our children should not have a television?
The world is evolving, our parents, (I am almost 50) decried the fact we listened to hip hop & disco music. They didn't know shalamar, kool and the gang or public enemy, now my children listen to D'banj & P square. We watched videos, my children play video games, we read comics, now children are their own heroes in the comics (ie video games).

We all pretend to come from nuclear family - mummy, daddy and 3 to 5 children. Past generations made us believe that was the correct way, however in real life we all have half brothers and sisters. My mama pickin, my papa pickin, my papa wife, etc

When I was growing up there were 13 universities in Nigeria, now there are over 50 (albeit some of dubious quality)

The youth of today are the ones who are bring new technology and developments to society.

In my grandparents generation, the few who were encouraged to go to school, were encouraged to be teachers, court clerks and administrators. The next generation wanted their children to be doctors, lawyers or engineers, in the modern world we expect our children IT gurus, entertainers, top sports people, even a top newscaster.

So stop knocking the youth, the world is changing

Much as i want to agree with your stand,im afraid you are only highlighting the positive side to the so called civiliztion. The poster is looking at the negatives and how it affects our future generations. Especially as it seems to encroach on the morals and key values that our children need in the formative years to grow into responsible adults

@ op...trust me with ur first few post on this thread u have successfully scared away potential serious guys sighting you from afar. #NoOffence#

[quote author=ola_boy]Dear Desari,
In today's dating market, financial equality creed plays ZERO part in things, and finding that special love of one's life is entirely based on mutual attraction. Because if your dating mind-set was the case across the board, well the dating portfolio would be screwed (forgive me for employing financial jargons to drive home my point)

That a guy is yet to have a financial breakthrough is not a good reason to superficially rule him out, as a matter of fact, any guy with less income that hasn't at sometime been so frustrated with his condition to the point of wanting to throw a chair through a wall is full of crap, some folks have just been so unlucky in life despite all efforts. Different people, different experiences - life doesn't work the same for everyone for a multitude of reasons. One person's utopia is anothers hell and all that. Am sorry to say that what you define as your level of financial acceptance looks shallow to me, especially if you end of meeting young, hardworking and honest Nigerian guys in NYC who are new migrants struggling to climb same financial ladder you are looking down from now (how long did it take you to become financially insulated). I know its your opinion and am not upset by it, i am only trying to help my yoruba sista probably misguided about how life is generally.

Indeed one wonders if you yourself understand what the phrase "Financial Level" means when you ineptly try to misuse it to dismiss the points which show your statement to be ill-informed. Indeed it seems that your display of financial ability needs to be evaluated, until then you will most likely later realize that you fall short of what others see as financially allowable.

You are entitled to your financial opinions of course, no matter how silly and vacuous they are, however most people maintain an ability to resist the urge to spew out the first thing that comes into their heads, and instead employ their analytical ability to determine the likely veracity of your own financial capability.

If you continue to harp so much on finance rather than quality and personality, am sorry you may never find that Nigerian model of a guy you seek.
