Religion / Re: Japa: Rev Esther Ajayi Advises Nigerian Couples Against Relocating Abroad by sailor1234: 11:35pm On Dec 03, 2022
Eriokanmi:
Congrats brother and sorry for the ugly experience. Most likely, you left for the States before i did cheesy. I left in 2004 for schooling in upstate NY. I used to visit Dallas in TX back then where I had a friend. There's also a course mate who got employed in TX correctional centre the one at Nazareth. He later left cos of distance. I came back after my studies though i worked for a short while. It was while on the job I saw the opportunity and we're doing pretty fine in Nigeria today.

I'm really not against the japa time but my question is, is it worth it and on what purpose? And if you eventually japa, look for opportunities and bring it home. Market over there is saturated while Nigeria is a virgin land of loaded opportunities

All the best.

You are right bro, seriously some of us will like to relocate back to Nigeria. I can say I have done well for myself abroad, I have 2 houses built in naija, I have enough money to start a good business in naija, but the issue of security is the main factor holding me back.armmed robbery, kidnappings etc. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Nhemzie17:


A million is a huge amount to start a business and begin your journey to financial freedom.
Most of them don't return until they finally make it just to avoid being ridiculed of getting abroad and coming back with nothing.
The successful ones who returned from abroad went through many years of hustle to attain that. A friend of mine spent over 5m to travel abroad. He's been there for a year + and is still striving to earn a living. Imagine what 5m would have started for him in Nigeria?
Abroad is different from abroad though. If your friend travelled with the right document to a country like Canada, he can make that 5m back within a year . I live in Alberta, someone with half a brain can get a job of 18 dollars per hour here, that's 3120 dollars per month. After taxes, he will be left with 2500 dollars, if he is single and living in a shared apartment, he won't spend more that 1000 dollars monthly on accommodation plus all other living expenses. He will be saving 1500 dollars mo thly, that's 18000 canadian dollars per year. That's 9.8m in a year.

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by sailor1234: 1:51am On Nov 27, 2022
mobenjackson:
Album title: Sounds from the North side (Landing gist)

Artiste: Moben Jackson

Featuring: Family members, Uber, MMIA (Muritala Muhammed International Airport), Customs officers, NDLEA, Agric officers, ET (Ethiopian airlines) desk, AABIA (Addis Ababa Bole International Airport), DIAI (Dublin International Airport, Ireland), TPIA-T1 (Toronto Pearson International Airport -Terminal 1, also known as YYZ), AirCanada, YEG (Edmonton International Airport) and flights ET900, ET552 and AC169.

Executive producer: Moben Jackson

Album length: 33hours

Track 1: MMIA (Leaving the trenches) - Woke up and freshened up, booked uber to the airport alongside loved ones. We arrived past 9am even though my flight was for 1.20pm, we heard that the earlier, the better as you will be more settled b4 u fly, so we followed advice. Got a trolley guy to push the load, paid him 1,500 at the entrance where all begi begi started. I paid 500 per head for loved ones to enter into the airport with me, which also totalled 1,500. I loaded my baggage on the conveyor at the entrance, ut rolled over to the other side of the entrance and was searched by NDLEA guys, nothing was found and so i was left to roll my trolley over to agric officers. My brother who has done 2 airport runs within the last 6 months knew who and where to sort. He saw the officer beckoning on us to get to the agric stand and asked me to see the man, i followed him like a baby bonding to his mom and after jokes made between us, i shook his hands with yet another batch of 1,500 again. And there goes me jumping agric to queue on ET baggage weight line.

I weighed my bags, 32kg and 23kg respectively and these weightwere tagged on each baggage. I also had to celo-wrap my bags at that stand for 3,000 (1,500 per bag - standard fee). I got payment advice from one of the guys doing the weighing. He basically asked for name, final destination, how many bags to be upgraded, airline I'm flying with. I scanned my passport, arrivecan paper and vax card with a lady at the ET desk and she asked that i do copies of my data page. To upgrade my bag, i went upstairs to make payment, i upgraded one bag from 23kg to 32kg at the rate of 28k (they only accept cash or card payments, not transfer). I was issued 2 receipt and my copy of POS reciept. I went back to the lady to give her the copy of my data page as she requested. Then on another line to tag carry on/hand luggage (make sure y'all do this. It is important). No need to tag your backpack or school bag. There i was told to weigh both my bags (23 & 32), unfortunately it totalled 56kg instead of 55kg, i had to remove 1pack of milo & sugar to make it 55.8kg, the lady wanted to ask me to reduce again, but i gave her a very stern look and she understood the assignment and let my people (bags) go onto the conveyor belt which happens to be the last time you'll see your load until YYZ.

Once u done all that, y'all can now take as many pix and videos as una like. By 12pm, we bid our goodbyes and i headed straight for immigration checks, i collected a yellow card which had some biodata i filled, join a queue to submit your passport and in 2mins you'll be done. The officer asked if i had anything for them, i replied - me no get shishi...lol. Another queue to join again, where they will collect that yellow card from you and ask that you do some biometrics registration. Once done, you proceed to strip yourself (phones, belt, keys, earplugs, jacket) to pass through the detector while you pass your carry on & backpack to the other side.

After that, you meet another set of immigration guys who just ask you random questions like where are you going and why. Once done, i located ET boarding gate, here i was frisked again, carry on & backpack ransacked and one of my upgrade reciept was collected and ticket was authorized for flying (one part was torn for their use, while the other part will be given back to you). By 1pm, i boarded the plane and we left the TRENCHES by 2pm.

Track 2: AABIA (Addis Ababa Bole International Airport) - we landed just 5hrs after, though 9pm in Ethiopia cus they are 2hrs ahead 9ja, so technically we took off from 9ja by 4pm Addis time. We got down, and another queue this time, very long o. The airplane was way beautiful than MMIA, it seems 9ja is cursed ground, cus wtf, with all the money we have, we can't even build a standard international Airport. Was frisked again and searched thoroughly, including my carry on & backpack, then found my way around the boarding gates for the Americas (Canada to be precise). We were boarded onto the plane via zoning, i was in zone 2, so i was part of the 2nd set that went on the plane. Our layover of 2hrs was barely enough to get us all on the plane.

Again our journey began....

Track 3: DIAI (Dublin International Airport, Ireland) - We flew for 8hrs, and landed Dublin for refuel which was just about 1hr. Inflight entertainment and food was good. I didn't watch any movie, cus i had seen all the Hollywood movies to be seen except for HIDDEN FIGUEES, but i couldn't watch cus the earplugs given didn't have any bass, so the noise from the plane was too much interference, instead i focused on the flight 3D map and it was interesting to monitor our flight and know where we headed. For food, ET try o, abeg, they served us 4 times (rice, chicken/beef sauce, bread/bagel with spread, biscuits, water, drinks - wine or soft), being not much of a foodie, i only ate the rice at all times, cus small food laidis my belle don full. We were given coffee (with cream & sugar) and cakes, as we finished fueling at Dublin, on our 8hrs flight to Toron'o...lol

Track 4: YYZ (Toronto Pearson International Airport - Terminal 1) we landed by 9am instead of 8.10am bt no lele, we sha don land, my papa go talk say "welcome is better than sorry"...lol... na so people dey run o, to join immigration queue o. So first you join a very long queue, to register on the kiosk machine, no officer to say next, na here DIY (do it yourself) start o, you just look around for the next empty kiosk machine as we have about 20 of them or more sef, then you leave the queue and do self registration. Scan your passport, position to take picture, accept declaration and print, a white slip will come out of the machine. Move to another queue, where they will check the white slip and you may be selected for covid-19 random testing, i wasn't selected sha. So i moved to the CBSA queue, where you'll declare purpose of entry and all those shenanigans, finally you go hear the famous line "Welcome to CANADA". moved on to baggage claim and got my 23kg & 32kg. Then asked for connecting flight lounge, i got there and was told i had missed my flight by some few minutes. I was directed to AirCanada desk to help reschedule at no cost, i was put on the next available flight with wait time of over 3hrs. Well, i enjoyed free wifi and the wait flew by in no time. My big bags were e-tagged and loaded onto the conveyor belt so it can be passed to the airplane to carry it (P.S: my hand luggage wasn't weighed or stuffs bcus i didn't use a box, if u used a box for hand luggage, it will be weighed and if overweight or the dimension is not as it shld, then u may have to rearrange your bag or find a way out sha).

Track 5: YEG (Edmonton International Airport) - flight time from Toronto to Edmonton is 2hrs on paper bt 4hrs in reality cus Edmonton is 2hrs behind Toronto. So flight left from Toronto 2pm (Edmonton 12pm) to land by 4pm (also 4pm Edmonton time), which is correct but in reality, we flew for 4haaaarrrrsssss, mo ni Bleep shit, Canada yii ti tobi juu mhen (this Canada is too big). Na here all the geography for secondary cun dey useful, all those yeye time loss and gain, with those yeye latitude & longitude calculations became reality that day...lol.

I landed Edmonton and my host came to pick me up. The anxiety made me forget my backpack at the airport, i remembered when we were over 10mins drive away. We turned back o, i reach airport, i no see bag, i was scared shitleds, cus na there all documentations dey, most importantly COPR (gobe!). I asked around and a nice lady officer told me to come over to a storage room, there i saw my bag o. My mind just flashed back to the TRENCHES, say if there, that bag is a goner...lol. I retrieved my bag and thanked her and went on my way.

Track 6: Edmonton (the dream turned REALITY) - hmmmm, the breathe of fresh air. It's worth it ooo. Pls y'all should come over, it's worth all the wait and patience. I have done my SIN (social insurance number), gotten a mobile plan, opened a bank account. Will start applying soon. Wonder why i dropped my landing gist now? I am still jetlagged, my body clock is betraying me coupled with say light no dey go for here. It's 5.01am here and i have been awake typing this since 3.00am. People say it's cold, yes, -12°C, but then there is me who sleeps without a shirt or coverlet and the heater isn't turned on sef (e be like the heat wey do me for 9ja don fry my hard drive...lol)

Outro: CANADA in Jesus name - The wait is worth it in the end!

Thank God it ended in praise �

@OP
I believe you are in Ontario. There are MP's ( massage parlors) and SP's ( escorts ) all over ontario that'll satisfy your need, all you need is $$$, check out leolist. Even lots of the stripers in clubs will do FS if your price is right.

Plenty enjoyment dey Canada my bro, but it'll cost you $$$. If you have the $$ and feeling adventurous, head to one of the nice erotic massage parlors near you and order a body slide massage, you won't bang the girls,but you'll be completely satisfied , they'll use their naked body to massage and tease all parts of your naked body till you offload, menu usually include bj, pussy rub, tit play etc. Some of them will offer sex but it's illegal in massage parlors, every other thing except sex is legal.

If free Puna is what you seek, clubs will be your best bet.
Welcome to Canada!!!

Yeah that's the sad part, the naira as a currency is a hard nut to crack. Inflation rate is currently around 18%, so Tbills and eurobonds in naira na like waste of value.

If I were you, I would convert to dollars and invest the dollars in Eurobonds. I-invest currently has at 7.6% and USD inflation rate is 1.25%.

Better still, try to learn stocks and crypto.

If i invest in Eurobond, will my principal be preserved if held to maturity, will i get my full principal back

Romance / Re: Please Help, my girlfriend claimed she is a virgin but she didn't bleed by sailor1234: 6:16pm On Dec 14, 2019
@ OP
Not all virgins bleed the first time they have sex. Trust me she will warm up to it. It's still paining her now that's why she doesn't want you to penetrate her deeply. Be gentle with her, spend a lot of time on pre-intimacy so she gets wet very well, if she is the type that doesn't get wet very well buy a lubricant.
Be gentle, penetrate slowly and watch her reaction. Don't go in at once abruptly, let her ease up to you before you go in deep.
You don't need a spanishfly bro.

Indians aren't as beautiful as Latinas in my opinion. Punjabi women are the most beautiful women in India. Facially they are okay but they don't have that killer figure like latinas. Black men are naturally more attracted to latinas because they have the same shape and body structure like black women.

We should also understand that latina women can be black ( afro latinas), white latinas or mulatto (Mixed)

Hello everybody. I am about submitting my Mum's visit visa application but i need some clarifications. On IMM5257 the space provided for the employment history isn't enough, how do i go about this? should i fill out another form and include the rest of the information (employment history) or just type it out on a sheet of paper and attach as other document?

Also the question " Do you have a family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and is 18 years or older?" I dont know what the answer here should be, as the definition of family member on the CIC website says "An applicant's closest relatives, in the context of an application to IRCC. It is defined as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children."

I am the one sponsoring my Mum and I am a permanent resident of Canada but i am not her dependent child anymore, so i am confused here whether to say yes or no.

Thanks

Using a simple calculation, 50 ad-packs/sharing position will earn you a total of 2,750 ($50 daily x 55 days) before expiry. To maintain your ad-packs you will need to reinvest $2500 to buy 50 ad-packs back, meaning your gain will only be $250 for 55 days, so how do you intend to pay yourself $100 weekly?

Please do note that I am not criticizing you, I just want you to clarify, we are all learning, moreover you should only invest money you can afford to lose in Traffic Monsoon, yes it is paying now but you never know what can happen tomorrow, Charles Scoville has bad history of running several failed PTC sites in the past. I have more than 900 ad-packs at the moment. I use 91% Repurchase, 9% Cash out formula, i cash out about 2000 dollars every month while still maintaining the 900 ad packs. I started with $10,000 ( 200 ad-packs) and compounded to 900 without cash out. From 9 ad packs (assuming you are compounding and not cashing out) you will need about a year to get to 54 packs and 2 years to get to 189 packs.

The way to make money in this program is to start as big as you can afford (money you can afford to loose of course), get your money back asap and ride the profit for as long as it will last.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe_by_net_average_wage


Honestly, this is not rocket science. It is very easy to ratiocinate it. I did not even check the salaries before I made the assumption because it is so obvious.

It is like me wasting my time checking if Brazil has one of the highest number of win ratios in the history of Copa America.

There is a reason why all the Poles, Romanians, Lithuaians etc head for the UK.

Poland, Romania and Lithuania are not the only countries in Europe. From the data you provided, almost all the countries from Western Europe have higher monthly average wage than UK.

Take a look at your data:

Austria: 1873 Euro
Finland: 2321 Euro
France: 2041 Euro
Germany: 2234 Euro
Luxembourg: 3189 Euro
Netherlands: 2591 Euro
Belgium: 1882 Euro
Sweden: 19 596 SEK (2229.82 EUR)
Switzerland: 4 948 CHF (4,095.26 EUR)
UK: 1442 GDP ( 1,771.46 Euro)

When the guy mentioned Europe, I believe he is probably talking about Western Europe/ Scandinavian and not Eastern Europe.
Starting salaries in my profession in UK is: £25,000 - £27,000 while in Norway it is 3 times that amount.

Education / Digging Hole Through Earth by sailor1234: 3:41pm On Jul 02, 2012
I remember the first time I knew that the earth was round, was thought in Geography class back then, the first question that ran through my mind was ;where would i end up if I started digging straight down?. I even remember asking my Geography teacher this question, he simply told me it is not possible sad, Yes I knew it was not possible scientifically but just for the fun of it,I wanted to know, I was just curious to know.

Have you ever wondered where you would end up if you started digging straight down?
Another interesting question, let’s assume, you had a drill capable of plowing below where you are standing right now and grinding its way straight through the middle of the planet to the other side and you jumped inside this hole? Would you come out of at the other side? Remember gravity will always pull you toward the center of the Earth .What do you think would happen?

Guys these ships are something else, but I think this Norwaygean Epic has really tight concepts. . . How many years does it take to build one of this cities?

Allure of the seas was ordered from Aker Finn yards in February 2006 and it’s Construction began in February 2008,the keel was laid on 2 December 2008.
From initial planning, to drawings, to models, to building to delivery, could be 4+ years. Ship building goes from planning to designing to drawings to models to building the ship to testing the ship and then delivery. The speed can also depend on how quickly the work needs to be done.On the average,I’ll say between 3 to 4 years.
