Hi guys,

It would be criminal of me not to give back to a thread which has helped me so much in meeting my goals with regards to french for express entry.

There are monikers who have been and remain so helpful in this thread. My shout out goes out to you all. I don't want to @ because the list goes on. But thank you .

Yeah man... so this is your moniker Sheddy?

Valoromega

This is actually very good advice.

Next time once she packs her bag over trivial issues call an Uber for her and help her move her stuff into the car. Even let her go with the baby. Then call her parents and inform them she's on her way. As long as you keep begging her not to leave, as long as she knows that she can always use the threat of leaving to gain advantage over you, you'll never hear the last of it.

MrBrownJay1:
if they both have a full time job, within 24months of good credit, they can easily get a mortgage and buy a house in the UK....nothing special here.
REMEMBER, the house will only truly be "yours" 20/30yrs down the line, after you finish repaying the mortgage (until then, the house belongs to the bank).

If the house increases in value, the mortgage debt stays the same, but their equity (the down payment + mortgage payments) increases, so they can sell the house and buy a less expensive one.

Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations in advance. Tbh, you have really done well whether you get the B2 haut or bas, because girl look at how far you’ve come in just seven months! I started earlier than you did in July and I’ve postponed my exam twice now because I don’t feel ready yet 🫣 Dieu m’aide!

Before you take the exams, it is best that you get a French teacher (or a francophone) to test you on the speaking and writing test. Tell your "mock examiner" to be as clear-eyed and as unsparing as possible in his assessment of your performance. The exams have become too expensive now (except you don't live in Nigeria). You don't want to be going in with "I hope", you want to go into the exam hall with super confidence that someone else has objectively tested you and assured you that your level is good enough.

Omo... I just got offer from the school I decided to go for 2 years Msc because the agent told me the total tuition would be splitted into meaning I'll be paying less than 9k each year and he said the deposit is 2750 and 40% of 6250 by January ending and another 40% of 6350 by May ending and the remaining 20% by July... I'll repeat the same plan the following year, this is another story o does it mean the agent is just trying to lure me to come in or what?

Send an e-mail and ask all the questions concerning payment plan, the OP has written his experience to help you make a better decision. Travel/visa agents usually lie... do your own research also.

N5M.

It was this sort of thing that got Alliance Française suspended for months in 2022. Don't cause problems for others.

Smile4mee01:
Na true say Arrangee test/result dey for this French?

Sorry, we don't talk about that here. Please avoid that issue.

Can you learn German? Check the Germany threads, there is a new option which allows students to work for a few months in Germany before schooling starts.

SmartyPants:


lol. I have nothing to prove to you. Common sense alone should tell you that cubana used money that looks exactly like naira not like the obviously fake prop money you're talking about. So he has to explain how he produced it and whether such production is in line with extant laws.

And btw the fact that event planners are producing prop money is not even an argument in the first place because common sense should also tell you that the fact that event planners are doing it doesn't make it legal. Or does it? lol. Good luck to all to all of you.

Nope, you are not a lawyer... it's clear from your replies.

SmartyPants:


Lol. Why are you arguing with me? As I've just explained, it is one thing for you to cook up whatever story you want to tell, and another thing entirely for a judge to accept it. There are fundamental rules of evidence and you have to play by those rules. You don't even know what you are saying at all. Using prop money in a real-world setting - don't you know that opens him up to an additional charge of possession of counterfeit money? You are not a lawyer. Don't debate law with me.

And you are obviously not a lawyer from your last sentence. A lawyer can claim that this happened - https://www.nairaland.com/7563169/event-planners-print-own-money and argue that in so many different ways... people have started using some form of prop money that are not exactly counterfeit in real life events. We will see the arguments that Cubana's lawyer will put up.

SmartyPants:


That's not how it works. If you make such an argument in Court, the burden of proving that it was prop money is on you. How will you convince the Court? It is one thing to tell a story and another thing entirely for the judge to accept it.

A good lawyer can poke holes in the video and photo evidence. That's what I expected Bobrisky's lawyer to do. It is difficult to tell that the money was genuine Naira notes just from the video and photos... so lawyers can cook up stories. Except a lot of verified witnesses come out to testify.

Pepperdemisback:

Let's continue to encourage them to shoot communities.

Yes, if a community decides to hold anybody (alive or dead) to ransom, then they should be shot.

emperor4love:
In this life know who is your real friend,you can tell me this beautiful gal don't hv boyfriend, even though the are not obliged to help but as guy who is dating her why alive,you can't help there parents in this circumstances knowing fully well that there parents is not well to do or poor but if na sharwama or pay hotel room the will pay ,most time we have to hv conscience towards human even to death,atleast .....all her boyfriend go hear de story lockup not to even see there parents to know how to help out, same to u guys ,know who u are dating once u are no more the werey u buy wig go liv u ,find another talk more of visiting ur parents fr condolence, know ur true friends wen alive

Mr Man, there are so many ladies who don't have boyfriend. And let us assume that she had a boyfriend what if he couldn't afford the so-called ritual fees?

The same crowd cannot resist armed policemen who are willing to shoot when attacked. The community was only strong because they could overpower the actors and crew member.

Pepperdemisback:

They must have settled everything, you can't just walk into that place to exhume. Some communities will not even allow that. Did you see the crowd that besiege that hospital? If that same crowd resist them, they couldn't have carried out the evacuation

Kelklein:
good info

The guys most likely died because they believed in Myth No 5.. 'it can't happen to them'.. that was why, according to reports, they rejected the jackets when offered at the start of the boat trip..

They didn't reject life jackets, the producer of the film didn't provide life jackets for the actors and crew. Most of them couldn't swim, why on earth would they have rejected life jackets for a less than 30 minutes boat ride?

SpatialKing:


I never abandoned my argument in the first place..

The family will never will a law case a against the company because it will set a bad precedent..

They should eventually accept the issuance claims and settlements

Just go back to saying that "money will not bring back their relative" because you have no point. The goal is to force the helicopter company to settle at much higher compensation and implement more safety procedures to prevent future deaths. Here are just 5 examples:

Kobe Bryant Helicopter Crash Settlement (2021): Vanessa Bryant, the widow of basketball star Kobe Bryant, reached a confidential settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters and the estate of the pilot involved in the January 2020 crash that killed Kobe Bryant, their daughter Gianna, and seven others.

Sikorsky S-76B Crash Settlement (2004): After a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter crashed into the Baltic Sea in 2004, killing all on board, a series of lawsuits were filed. Although the crash occurred outside the USA, the legal battles involved Sikorsky, a U.S. company. The settlements were confidential, and Sikorsky implemented changes following the incident.

Grand Canyon Helicopter Crash Settlements (2018): After a fatal crash in February 2018 involving a sightseeing helicopter operated by Papillon Airways, which resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, lawsuits were filed by survivors and families of the deceased. The outcomes of these lawsuits are not publicly detailed, but they led to significant attention on the safety of helicopter tours in the area.

Era Helicopters LLC Settlement (2010): After a crash in Louisiana in 2009 that killed eight people due to a failed component, the families of the victims filed lawsuits against Era Helicopters and the component manufacturer. The settlements were confidential, but the case highlighted issues with helicopter component safety.

Settlement in Pennsylvania National Guard Helicopter Crash (2012): The family of a National Guard pilot who died in a 2012 helicopter crash due to a malfunction reached a settlement with the manufacturers. The details of the settlement were not disclosed, but the lawsuit emphasized the importance of maintenance and component reliability in military helicopters.


Just say something that even a child knows as your rebuttal.

DerFuhrer:
Now that the Naira is steadily appreciating, is Alliance Française likely to bring down the cost of the exam? 700k is too steep given the current exchange rate.

The Naira wasn't the only reason, it is also the increased demand, the cut-off marks for the last two French draws were 366 and 336. We can only hope, nothing is guaranteed. Eh bien... On peut toujours rêver, n'est-ce pas ?

Oh... you are back to your former argument...

SpatialKing:


Like I said the family won't win any lawsuit against the company because the company can blame it on the Man, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP) which will drag the USA government into the litigation...

However,
There is already death insurance package payable to the family which the company can decide to increase or add up...

But a law suit against company won't work and has never worked, moreover technical details of the crash investigation are not ready...

A quality life jacket is N20, 000 at most, but it's way cheaper to rent one. The producer could have rented enough life jackets and this wouldn't have happened.

The producer of the movie takes all the blame in a situation like this. It is her responsibility to ensure that life jackets and other safety measures were taken to ensure the safety of the actors and crew. And let us assumed something bad still happened, she could always list all the things that she did right and would be absolved of any form of negligence.

LuQuLuQu:
Adanma Luke in a big trouble right now


But was she in charge of their safety too?

SpatialKing:


Guess what,

The helicopter company has recovered all the money through profits and insurance...

But did it bring Kobe and his daughter back to life?

Of course, shift the goal post when you get hit with facts. Even a toddler knows that money doesn't bring people back to life. Your argument was that the family would lose the lawsuit and not that "money doesn't bring people back to life".

SpatialKing:


Reply would be

They were not booked to fly to volcano in the first place.

They were booked to fly to super bowl

Remember same thing happened to Kobe Bryant

And guess what? The helicopter company decided to give a huge settlement to the family of Kobe Bryant - they anticipated that they would lose so they quickly settled.

SpatialKing:
Hahaha

The company will do a counter suit by providing evidence proves that it was actually your son, his wife and son that were inpatient.

That they insisted the pilot should fly the plan even with all the bad weather signal because they don't want to miss the SuperBowl....

And their lawyers would also reply that if the passengers had instructed the pilots to fly into a volcano, would they have obeyed? As long as they can prove that going by aviation rules, the helicopter should not have been airborne at that time, the helicopter charter company would lose and probably opt for a huge settlement with the families of the deceased.

This is exactly my problem listening to "street French", improper grammar, too many slangs and they talk as if they are rapping.

15 - 17 year-old boys still do that... the thing is you have gotten older and men typically stop doing that as they get older.

orohbiro:
I remember guys use to beg me to have my number way back then, but these days not only me even other girls complain of same issue.

The moment they ask You out you begin to stress then they will just go.

Even when you post PIC with a friend some will be begging you to even give them your friend's number like wTF.

Guys you need to slow down. We are females, we must do our shakara small our girlish thing you need to be patient with us pls.

God1000:
Hmm, so china is owing US this much and not the other way round.

Well, this will finally address the debate and misconception

Both countries are owing each other. They don't cancel out their debts like regular people. China also owes USA approximately $850 billion.

Exousiang01:
Switzerland has no business being in debt

As long as they are making their debt payments regularly, there is no issue. The whole modern world was built and is still been built on debt.
