Send me a P6M

Which ones and why?

rainazoe:
Brother Einsteino thank you once again for the write up on winter gear. Please can you help with pictures so that we know what to look for when we get to Yaba/thrift shops.

Haha. I didnt even know that post went through o. I got banned after posting that and the post got deleted by the anti-spam bot, I couldnt understand what in the post was against NL rules. So, I was going to wait out the ban which was to run to Nov 5. Na person just buzz me say e see wetin I post on winter wear, so I came to check.

I would get pictures and possibly links of the items on amazon store.

If you're a nurse already practicing in Nigeria, then look for bridging programmes. If not, you will have to start afresh. You may be eligible for the two-year accelerated BSN if you have a relevant first degree. I will advise you take time to do your research online, there's a lot of information out there. Also try writing to your school of choice for more details

hayor2014:
it depends, if a bridging program is to be better then I will take that option, but if one has to start afresh then that will be an option too.....I understand that there is a two years compressed program, with government grant in most provinces.... That's the one am searching for

who dash monkey banana The way una dey hype this my writing eh! una no go consider turning brand developers so?

I have written IELTS different times for different visas and not once did I ever score an 8 in writing.

IELTS Academic, 2014 (study visa).. LRWS 8.5, 7.5, 7, 7
IELTS General Nov 2016 (Aussie PR).. LRWS 7.5, 8, 7.5, 8
IELTS General Sept 2017 (Canada PR).. LRWS 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5

I know someone here who has scored LRWS 9, 9, 9, 8.5 twice, yet na me una dey hype.

Please where in Yaba? I don't live in Lagos but will like to do my shopping there. My husband said something about Mandillas(don't know if that is the spelling) in Lagos Island.

Mandillas is also a good place to shop however it is located at balogun market (Lagos island) différent from Yaba. for people living in warri you can got to mcaver market close to ibo market , they have good winter jackets as well

Mandillas is in Lagos Island but I am not sure I have seen an array to winter clothings there compared to Yaba. Yaba is on the Lagos mainland.

Proximity of both markets depend on where you are coming from and where you will stay in Lagos

Note that markets in Lagos open from 10am on Thursdays.

Does anyone know if I can get good winter jacket at Super, Abule Egba in Lagos?

To be honest its very broad here and there are always a variety of supply chain roles available with logistics,manufacturing and retail organisations.

I don't think it should be difficult to get into depending on which level is convenient for you.

There are always vacancies on indeed.ca. Just search with different variations of your job title.

When you come try attending any of these bridging programs depending on proximity and schedule

Also start looking to registering with APICS which should help you get ahead once you get that first job

einsteino:
Something just crept up my mind now. As much as Yaba has good jackets that compare to the $140 jackets I have found here, the main challenge is that most folks who are still in Nigeria may not be able to tell a good jacket for Canadian winter. A great winter Jacket for the U.K may just be a Jacket for Fall in Canada. Inshort, a jacket that would perform well in the west coast of Canada(e.g Toronto) maybe found wanting in the East coast of Canada(e.g Calgary and Winterpeg abi Winniepeg). Fact is even a $140 jacket on its own would not be able to survive a severe Canadian winter. A winter jacket is an investment here, and its not unusual spending $250 on one, even $1000 if you are shying away from layering up.

I would advise you buy just one winter Jacket from Yaba, incase you are unable to make an informed choice. but do your utmost to get the best jacket available in Yaba, if it doesn't measure up when you land, layer up or go invest in an expedition jacket that would allow you the luxury of not having to layer up. Its always better to have two great winter jackets than several mediocre ones.


Features to look out for in a Winter Jacket.

1)Hood: Its best your jacket has a hood to cover your head from the rain and snow. Also, in the absence of rain and snow, your ears and head could get cold pretty fast, a hood helps to insulate them and also break the wind. In severe winter, you may need to cover your face, leaving just your eyes open. Some hoods have buttons, this helps you turn your hood into a ninja mask of some sort. If your jacket hasnt a hood, you would need to buy something to wear on your head. Just buy a jacket with a detachable hood, if you want the freedom to work hoodless when you need to.

2)Outer lining: In winter it isn't just the cold alone you have to worry about, the wind exercabates the cold and when it snows or rains, your jacket would come in contact with moisture. If your jacket outer lining can break the wind, you would feel much warmer than in one that can't and is yet thicker. If your jacket hasn't a protective layer or lining that water proofs it, it would get damp. You may not mind that, but depending on the material that it uses to insulate and provide warmth, you could be exposed to cold when your jacket gets damp. So I would say, ensure it has an outer water proof lining especially if you intend to live in Vancouver where it rains like the clouds are slicing onions. You could tell if it has one by feeling the jacket, the outer layer should feel synthetic. Except you have very special needs like going on expedition in the artic, don't go looking for a jacket that can act as raincoat for Naija rain o! The rain here na Aje butter, na drizzle e dey drizzle not pour.

3) Insulation material: The inner layer of your jacket is made up of a material that does the core job of keeping your warm in the cold. This could be a natural material like "down" or a synthetic material like "milkweed insulation". Down is great and the most common but when it comes in contact with water it loses its insulation properties till its dry, so if you think you are going to come in contact with a lot of water like you would go skii or you have to work outdoors, you should go for a jacket with synthetic material. Fact is, except you are buying a big name jacket that you could google its features & properties, it is very difficult to tell what insulation material was used. I would say just get a thick and heavy jacket, for a jacket with down, the thicker, the better. The confusion is that those with synthetic material are usually lightweight yet provide same warmth, but if you arent certain what insulation material it has, then get a very thick jacket.

4) Pockets: If a jacket hasn't at least two hand pockets, for the love of anything you believe in, drop it. fingers are the most vulnerable to cold, they can suffer frost bite easily. You need a jacket that takes care of them like a manicure attempts to, and without big well insulated pockets, I don't see how any jacket would manage. The seller at Yaba may want to argue that you could wear hand gloves instead, truth is many hand gloves do not measure up to the cold. Besides, occasionally you would take off your glove to use your phone or do something else when you are in a heated room, would need pockets big enough to dock the gloves in. Secondly, a common trick to survive Canadian winter is to layer up; when it gets very cold, your good glove may need some support. You would need to sheath your already gloved hands in your winter jacket's pocket for extra insulation. I'd also say, it would be great if your jacket has extra pockets to put stuff in, so two pockets for your hands and maybe an extra to hold something else. Ehen, I have also found hand pockets with zippers to be a pain, when I try to quickly dip my fingers in, the zip scrapes my skin. So make sure you test out the pocket to be sure you wouldn't have that inconvenience.

5) Size: We usually like our clothes fitted. From what I have seen here, in the cold, the only thing you would like is warmth. As I have said before, layering is a trick to survive when it gets really cold. The coldest I have been out in since I landed is -8, I wore 3 layers of clothing before my Jacket. If you go for a jacket that is your exact fit, on very cold days, you would need a much bigger jacket with room for a now fatter you (thanks to all the calories, sorry extra clothing). So have that in mind when picking a Winter Jacket.

LAYERING: the art of making up for the cold.
As I have said, you would need to layer up as the weather dips. But I have found that it isn't just wearing the most clothes and discovering the roundest version of you, rather it's the type of clothes you wear. Now, I would break layering into three: Baselayer, Midlayer and Outer layer. lets go into the details:

a) Baselayer/Thermal: You need an underwear that is able to retain your body heat and insulate you from external cold, these are called thermal wear. They come as trousers, long sleeved shirt and socks. They are your first layer wear, they should be fitted. I could go on and on about their properties but for sake of length I'd summarise. The good ones are of two main type, the polyester bottom fleece lined type that cost about $30 for either the trouser or shirt and $16 for two pair of the socks, then there is the Merino wool midweight layer that cost about $60 for the midweight layer shirt/trouser and $30 for the sock. I bought the Merino Mid Weight Wool layer thermal trouser at Yaba for 1k naira, neither the seller nor I the buyer, knew what it was the odds just fell in my favour. If you hope to go camping in the Artic, skiing or work outdoors, get the Merino wool Heavy weight Layer, it is very very very good. As for the much cheaper thermal wear sold in stores, they are not as good as any of the above, you would end up needing to wear more layers than necessary, well its normal to do that sha.

b)Midlayer: Some people go on wearing 3-4 clothes to form this, but believe me its doable with just one! If you wear a Merino wool thermal, you can afford to wear just a fancy shirt and trouser


So basically, you layer up as the temperature dictates. Sorry its lonAg, but again I just felt its an info you need.

God bless you. I'm short of words. You will find favour in your endeavours. I'm tempted to say I love you

Yes, you will. The prices are fair but the quality may not be as good as the Yaba ones. If you want, I can give you a contact. The jackets and parka we got from Yaba are serving us well.

Please I need the contact too. Thanks

The one with your Copr may or may not suffice. When you arrive CA ask for a reputable store where you can snap the PR size photos and keep with your host/fam over there (if you have one). In the event that you receive a request to resubmit photo, the person would just mail on your behalf via Canada post.

I got a resubmission request months after I returned to naija and I was not happy I didn't do this at the first instance.


Have you checked Kantagwa market for winter jackets? It should be close to your end though most people prefer Yaba
