Mutemenot:
Hi my colleagues!!
My Dad passed away, I tried to be a man but within me im dying in pains. I have had more time here reading threads and comments just to let the pains off my mind but I haven't found a lasting consolement. May I have a way forward from you guys ?

Sorry for your loss may his soul rest in peace.

The pain is still very raw, the worst thing you can do is bottle it up. Talk about it, keep talking about it and cry when you need to. Also concentrate on the good times you had with your dad and consider yourself lucky to have had the opportunity to know this wonderful person.

Then ask yourself will your Dad want you to be sad or in pain? He will want you to celebrate his life and move on but not forget him. Time is a great healer and later when you think of him it will bring smiles to your face. May the good Lord give you and your family the strength to overcome this great loss. Amen

Emmenyk:
But you're quick to identify Igbo criminals here by their names, and by your comments make it look as if Igbos are the only criminals in the world.

When have I done that? please don't confuse me with some other tribalist on this forum. Do you know which tribe I come from?

adadike:
Kudos to the Igbo doctor who performed d surgery. Igbo Amaka!!!

They are Nigerian Doctors , Full STOP. If we keep bringing tribal issues into everything, this country will never move forward.

Together we stand! Divided we fall!!

No natural afro hair styles?

marylandcakes:
Yes

thanks

marylandcakes:
This is a short cut to doing the trouser pattern

Maybe its better to do this for all our patterns and its quicker.

And someone will come and tell me they are tired of Nigerian food

mrsojiugo:
My bad...hubby takes pictures and I am always in a hurry to finish up and move to the next project.

I thought this thread was for sewing projects not knitting.? Just saying

The truth is a very bitter pill to swallow

Papertrail11:
nigerian food is boring too starchy why do u think we have a lot of men with diabetes and women with big stomach when they arent pregnant


go to other african countires you will know nigerian food is crap and overated

At the end of the day it is all down to portion control. Sometimes you see a young Child in Nigeria seat down to eat at a meal for a family of seven.

Tell me which country in Africa that there isn't pot bellied men? In the Riverine area of Nigeria they eat a lot of seafood and vegetables . It all depends on the individuals at the end of the day.

Say no to Jungle justice

Well done nice video

KanwuliaExtra:
I don taya to eat Nigerian food o. Even when I cook, I CANNOT EAT IT! Boring mess.
Tasteless eating your own food all the time.
I love change.

Celebrating foreign dishes. Tired of RICE, BEANS


At my work cafeteria.

Mashed Potatoes, pork chops, peas&carrors and corn bread.

Desert? Strawberry shortcake.

Unsweetened tea and lemonade(Arnold Palmer)

You don’t have to cook it! Just buy it, present it and I will EAT it witcha.

This food is not better than Nigerian food. Just get someone who can cook it properly for you.

marylandcakes:
As long as you desire but you have got to make sure that you bring it out at intervals to resoak with liqueur.

Thanks for this. Does this mean that as long as I continue soaking it in rum or whatever liqueur I can keep it for up to 6 months?

Daviddson:
I don't mind if I get banned for this. But this culture of posting or bringing to the front page these stories of "school children killed", "PHOTOS of people crushed by trailers", "PHOTOS of a woman killed by Dangote truck", "PHOTOS of bride and groom killed by road accident", etc, ought to stop. This is not good. This is injustice to the deceased and their family.

I've said this times without numbers and I'll continue to say it. Maybe you people will be forced to stop bringing this kind of stuff to FP until a big man whose family member's gory death pictures gets featured on Nairaland FP and he sues Nairaland and Seun coughs out N100m to settle damages.
France is currently prosecuting Ms Le Pen who nearly won last Presidential, for posting 3 pictures of people killed by ISIS on the Net.

I agree with you 100%, I have said this so many times, it is only mutilated animals and humans that make front page. post something creative or educative , people complain that it is too long to read if it is more than 2 sentences. Nairaland had loads of potential but with all this insensitive postings the only way is down hill for this site.

Most of the mods are no better, they behave like minigods. Just go through front page and count any intellectual topics.

Please feel free to ban me for telling the truth.

@ OP what is the longest time this cake can be preserved?

Kindly contact me sir.

Thanks.

What kind of assistance do you require?

There is a difference between a mask and a balaclava

marylandcakes:
What about the UK?

I don't think you can in the UK if not all their land would be finished.

mrsojiugo:

Cant wait to start making new applique projects and dope embroidery.

It is my dream to get an embroidery machine one day.

Please share your design and tips here. good luck

[b]How to buy your way to a new passport
[/b]
Forget the mega-yachts, private jets and Cartier jewels. The latest must-have accessory for the super-rich is a second passport or, at the very least, elite residency in a foreign country. A surprising number of nations worldwide offer residency and even citizenship in exchange for a minimum real estate investment. We reveal 30 countries where a property purchase will get you residency and even full citizenship.

1Fiji: $125,000 (£94k) investment for residency
Living in sun-kissed Fiji year-round may seem like the preserve of the mega-rich but you only need to invest a minimum of $125,000 (£94k) in a property there to qualify for permanent residency, plus you get full citizenship if you live in the country for five years or more.

2Colombia: $150,000 (£113k) investment for residency
Colombia offers one of the most affordable investment for residency programs on the planet. Permanent residency is granted to foreign nationals who invest more than $150,000 (£113k) in property, or just $23,000 (£17k) in a Colombian business

3Brazil: $160,000 (£120k) investment for residency
Brazil is almost neck and neck with Colombia with its relatively inexpensive investment for residency program. A minimum investment of just $160,000 (£120k) is required to qualify for a permanent residency visa. The investment can be in anything from property to local businesses.

4Dominica: $200,000 (£150k) investment for citizenship
Dreaming of a blissful retirement in the Caribbean? Dominica is calling your name. The island nation offers one of the world's most affordable citizenship by investment programs. A $200,000 (£150k) property purchase will get you a Dominican passport and visa-free travel to over 100 countries.

5[b]Panama: $200,000 (£150k) investment for residency[/b]
Panama is a popular retirement choice for North Americans and the country isn't too restrictive when it comes to granting residency permits. A property investment of $200,000 (£150k) or more is all that is required to get you in.

6[b]Vanuatu: $200,000 (£150k) investment for citizenship[/b]
The Pacific island nation of Vanuatu will give honorary citizenship to any qualifying foreign national who snaps up property with a value of $200,000 (£150k) or more. Processing times are extra fast and a passport can be issued within two months of approval.

7[b]Dubai: $272,000 (£204k) investment for residency[/b]
If bustling Dubai is more to your taste, you'll be pleased to learn it's not excessively expensive to quality for residency there. The emirate offers golden visas to foreign nationals who invest a minimum $272,000 (£204k) in property, or just $20,000 (£15k) in a business

8[b]Saint Lucia: $300,000 (£226k) investment for citizenship[/b]
To qualify for Saint Lucia's investment for citizenship program, a minimum property investment of $300,000 (£226k) is required. Alternatively, a $100,000 (£75k) donation to the country's sovereign wealth fund will rapidly secure a passport and permanent residency.

9[b]Greece: $300,000 (£226k) investment for residency[/b]
Greece offers a residency by investment program to non-EU citizens who splash $300,000 (£225k) or more on property in the country. Successful applicants get the right to live and work in any EU country, and qualify for full citizenship if they reside in Greece for seven years or longer.

10[b]Latvia: $327,000 (£246k) investment for residency[/b]
Non-EU nationals who are tempted by Latvia have to buy a property worth $327,000 (£246k) or more to quality for the country's golden visa program. The residency permit is valid for five years and holders become eligible for citizenship if they live in Latvia for longer than 10 years.

11[b]Grenada: $350,000 (£263k) investment for citizenship[/b]
Grenada is another Caribbean paradise that offers a relatively affordable investment for citizenship program. To meet the minimum requirements, you'd need to invest at least $350,000 (£263k) in property or donate $200,000 (£150k) to the nation's sovereign fund.

12[b]Hungary: $356,000 (£268k) investment for residency[/b]
The Government of Hungary grants non-EU citizens residency if they spend $356,000 (£268k) or more on a property in the country. Again, they have to live in the country for a lengthy period of time to qualify for citizenship; in this case the wait is eight years.

13[b]Belgium: $416,000 (£313k) investment for residency[/b]
Belgium's residency by investment program is based on discretion rather than rigid rules. To qualify, non-EU nationals typically need to spend a minimum of $416,000 (£313k) on property in the country. Golden visa holders qualify for full citizenship if they live in the country for longer than five years.

14[b]Saint Kitts and Nevis: $400,000 (£300k) investment for citizenship[/b]
A lazy retirement in stunning Saint Kitts and Nevis could be yours if you have $400,000 (£300k) to spend on property in the Caribbean nation. This sort of investment will get you all the trappings of full citizenship and a shiny new passport to boot.

15[b]Antigua and Barbuda: $400,000 (£300k) investment for citizenship[/b]
Antigua and Barbuda operates a similar investment for citizenship program. A minimum property investment of $400,000 (£300k) is required to be eligible for full citizenship and that all-important passport.

16[b]Andorra: $475,000 (£359k) investment for residency[/b]
This compact country in the Pyrenees will offer a residency permit to any non-EU national who spends $475,000 (£359k) or more on property. The only catch is the permit does not guarantee free movement within the EU, plus permit holders have to wait at least 20 years to qualify for citizenship.

17[b]The Bahamas: $500,000 (£376k) investment for residency[/b]
Always wanted to live in the Bahamas? Your dream could become reality. That's if you have a budget of $500,000 (£376k) to splurge on property. An investment of half a million dollars will get you permanent residency and a passport after 10 years.

18[b]USA: $500,000 (£376k) investment for residency[/b]
The US doesn't offer residency in exchange for property investment per se, but you may qualify and garner a much sought-after Green Card if you pump $500,000 (£376k) or more into a regional centre real estate investment program.

19[b]Mauritius: $500,000 (£376k) investment for residency[/b]
A luxury holiday destination for the world's wealthy, Mauritius offers residency for foreign nationals who want to stay long term if they invest $500,000 (£376k) in property on the island, not to mention citizenship to successful applicants who stay in the country for more than two years.

20[b]Montenegro: $595,000 (£448k) investment for citizenship[/b]
Foreign nationals with $595,000 (£448k) to spare might want to drop their cash on a property in Montenegro. The country's authorities will award citizenship to qualifying investors who invest that very amount in real estate or enterprise in the country.

21[b]Ireland: $595,000 (£448k) investment for residency[/b]
The Republic of Ireland will grant residency to non-EU nationals who invest at least $595,000 (£448k) in Irish property, businesses, bonds and more, as well as full citizenship to successful applicants who reside in the country for five years or more.

22[b]Spain: $595,000 (£448k) investment for residency[/b]
Non-EU nationals who wish to move to Spain can acquire residency if they purchase property valued at $595,000 (£448k) or more. Successful applicants also get a European residency permit and the chance to live and work in any EU country of their choosing.

23[b]Portugal : $595,000 (£448k) investment for residency[/b]
Spain's neighbor has a near-identical investment for residency program for non-EU nationals. Spending $595,000 (£448k) or more on a property in Portugal will entitle you to residency and full citizenship if you reside in the country for six years or longer.

24[b]Bulgaria: $595,000 (£448k) investment for residency[/b]
Bulgaria has similar requirements. In exchange for a property investment of $595,000 (£448k), non-EU citizens are offered a residency permit and the opportunity to live and work in the EU. Permit holders who live in the country for five years or more are eligible for citizenship.

25[b]Switzerland: $1 million (£753k) investment for residency[/b]
A magnet for billionaires, Switzerland offers residency permits to foreign nationals who invest $1 million (£753k) in property or a business in the country. Permit holders are free to come and go as they please but have to wait 12 years to be considered for full citizenship.

26[b]Turkey: $1 million (£753k) investment for citizenship[/b]
Buying a property of any value will get you residency in Turkey but you'd need to stump up $1 million (£753k) or more to qualify for instant citizenship, and will have to commit to living in the country for three years too.

27[b]Malta: $1.1 million (£828k) investment for citizenship[/b]
The Government of Malta rewards foreign nationals who invest $1.1 million (£828k) or more in property in the country with permanent residency and an EU passport. Processing times are speedy, with successful applicants receiving their passports within 12 months on average.

28[b]Monaco: $1.2 million (£904k) investment for residency[/b]
To get the right to reside in Monaco, you have to invest $1.2 million (£904k) in property or deposit that sum in a bank account in the principality – they don't call it a billionaires' playground for nothing. Residents are granted citizenship after 10 years living in the tiny country

29[b]Italy: $1.2 million (£904k) investment for residency[/b]
Italy's investment for residency program doesn't usually include property purchases but non-EU nationals who spend $1.2 million (£904k) or more on a property that is deemed in the public interest – a historic restoration project for instance – may qualify.

30[b]Cyprus: $2.4 million (£1.8m) investment for citizenship[/b]
Cyprus offers the world's priciest investment for citizenship programme. A property investment of $2.4 million (£1.8m) or more is the minimum requirement, but there are no shortage of wealthy foreign applicants willing to part with that kind of money to get their EU Cypriot passport.

mrsojiugo:
N53,250.00 - I needed to get a second opinion and have it. I use the same plastic brand you see in the videos uploaded previously, but you know how it can be with plastic.

If not for my embroidery machine and its accessory which I had planned for 1st quarter 2018, I would have included it as well.

If you have got most of those rulers already, I would suggest don't buy it for now, at the end of the day whether it is plastic or metal they do the same job. It all boils down to how you take care of your tools.

mrsojiugo:
Thanks for your lovely comments. You will need to tell me more about this carry all before I am able to give my opinion.

Here is what it looks like...

How much is this?

Rawshal:
I got to the kitchen today only to found out that there are no spoon left on the rack. We just got a dozen to the one we had some months ago. Pls,did anyone knows how these spoons are disappearing for house. Abi na village people dey use miss concoction?

It is very easy to throw them in the bin unconsciously, especially guests or kids.

marylandcakes:
@Rubyventures thanks for your questions.

1 the only adjustment you will need is to fold the pattern to your desired length and cut. Since the ends are right angles, you should have no problem.

2. Any kind of material is good for this design as long as it’s not too hard. The best kind of material is the slippery type.

Thanks. I was thinking of using Velvet

[quote author=mrsojiugo post=64860276]A fashion designer is not a 'Magazine style' Crafts Man or Woman. A fashion designer would look at the client and be creative, make a dress that suits the clients body type. What we have all over the place are tailors, if there is passion for this kinda craft then that passion would take you through learning it the right way.

Thumbs up to you OP, I am yet to get around making videos. Whats your take on the Fairgate Fashion Designer carryall case, I am thinking of upgrading to it?[/quote

have you got a picture of this case? I might be interested myself.
