i didnt want to say anything but your comment forced my hand.
why do most nigerians find fault with anything nigerian? tell me, whats wrong with the camera man?
and u complained about the title. whats wrong with it? so because theres a hollywood movie titled 'x-men', any other with an 'x' in it means copying? i hope u know the fairly recent series 'tyrant', well i watched a nollywood movie titled 'tyrant' in 2005. so they copied nollywood then? no?
my point is, we know hollywood is ahead of us, but we should stop all these baseless self-stabbing just to fit in with the popular opinion that whoever despises nollywood and only watches foreign stuff is a smart person.

Maybe God bless you for this comment. You wrote my mind.

Many Nigerians have a subconscious form of inferiority complex that only comes out in a thread like this.

My application was refused:
Applied: 21st of June
Refusal Mail:19th of September
Program start date: 6th September
Paid full tuition of $14100 CAD

Conestoga college.(pgc)

Reasons: purpose of visit and personal assets

We thank God for everything. We will refire after receiving GCMS files.
I wish all other TRV hopefuls all d best.
For me I won't give up my dreams.

So sorry about the delay. It is well. I like your attitude. Is your intended course of study for pgc way different from what you studied in undergrad? Also, hope your SOP explained clearly your intentions, especially after studying? Because I am still trying to wrap my head round the 'purpose of visit and personal assets' reason after you have paid full tuition.

Hello House have another Question. I applied for a visiting visa, my passport and medicals were requested on 02/09/2016 I submited my passport at VFS on weds 7th and did my medicals on the 9th of september. My medicals Updated on the 14th as passed on CIC online but the passport request is still saying additonal documents requested? is there something I have done wrong? I will really like a fast response thank YOu.

I don't think you have done anything wrong. It would have been preferable to have first done the medicals before sending your passport.

But since your medicals has been updated as 'passed', just be patient and wait for another update to show you've been granted the visa on your passport and that you should come get it.

Stay positive. Or you want to contact them to be sure if they have received your passport?

kennynelcon:
pls which uni is that.

University of Manitoba.

Hmmm...it is well oh.

I was shocked when I got to my department eagerly to welcome the new graduate students for Fall 2016 and only met 3 people: 2 Caucasians and 1 Pakistani. I was told all the expected students that got admission (majorly from Ghana and Nigeria) had visa issues, even the ones with funding.

Even the lecturers are disappointed. When one is already looking forward to teaching a class of about 25 and there are just 5 students.

Probably VO's are now more strict or the immigration rules are being tightened. Either way, what will be will be. Let's package our applications with attention to details and leave the rest to God. It is well.

schizophrenia at work... It starts like this.. The guy needs to be checked to a mental facility asap..

Do you even have an idea what schizophrenia looks like?

@the guy in question...do it for Jesus o jare!

This is sooo disheartening. Do people even have conscience? What of those that have robbed our country and even unborn generations?

1stCitizen:
Truth. There is no dignity in labour in Nigeria but abroad every one is respected no matter the job you do. The CEO of a company abroad will be the first to say good morning to a cleaner or doorman but in Nigeria he will raise his shoulders waiting to be greeted by such staff. A labourer or even security guy abroad earns and lives better than a stressed out and target frustrated Nigerian bank manager.

This is very true.

lekzwyc:
He did well but I can't do that and broadcast it.

Corrected.

What's your own if he decided to broadcast it? Or if those he helped decided to make it known? What matters is the act and the motive. It may be broadcast and still be of good motive. If it's not broadcast now, you will still say celebrities are not helping anybody.

Poor python...

Only in Nigeria will an application letter be handwritten. It should be typed.

Diablo666:
So just cos you didnt win, its now a PR stunt? You had the privilege of meeting Mark, The President, the VP, and other possible investors you here abusing that honour. Thats quite terrible. Sore looser nagging syndrome

You really don't have a brain.

joseph1832:
Excuse me Bro, i'll say it and continue to say it, that I'm proud to be among the people who voted Jonathan out of Aso Rock due to his ineptitude and lackadaisical attitude in handling the affairs of state.

However, I still believe if this government is not up to the task, then I will vote them out ASAP! Cos I don't attach sentiment to things that affect not just me, but my kids in future to come.

Best comment so far here. Many just write without little or no thinking. Chai. The change indeed begins with us. Eh eh ...

She looks good.

Jesus...this can't be true

This delusion is getting out of hand.

deliveryboy:
1. Be on top of your game, know your duties. 2. Give him update about job progress made. 3. Give in extra hours if need be. 4. Be yourself, do not try to over impress him/her and remember you both don't have to be best of friends to get the job done. Just being professional is good enough.

These are more realistic points than what the OP posted.

Here is a future leader...

Please, where on Island is he staying? Who is (or are) his host(s)?

SirWere:
Delusion upon delusion.


Makes one wonder whether there is still hope for Africa.

You nailed it.

The OP is so funny though. I literally laughed out loud.

Smh

Balooscadido88:
Just last night I and my friends were arguing about dis topic.
.

I will put you and your friends in prayers so you can get jobs.

Lexit:
Arsenal FC, PSG - Group A

Hmmm. ..

99 is the answer.

What is wrong with the brain of Nigerians for crying out loud? So much hate directed at Stella while Daniel is left alone. You cannot snatch a man from his wife; he is not a handbag. Daniel decidedly left his wife (for reasons unknown) for Stella.

I have always been rooting for the Doris-Daniel union but channelling all anger towards Stella and calling her names is just a new low.

Why warfare prayers shouldn’t be the mainstay of a believer’s prayer life part 1?

I felt compelled to write this piece here to put some things in their correct perspective and help those who may not have much depth in God’s word yet that visit this forum regularly. I want to add that with all sense of humility that I am just a learner in this kingdom (less than 2yrs in the faith) so maybe some of what I am saying may be from ignorance and I’m open to corrections.

I’ve noticed a dangerous trend where warfare prayers is embraced in excess in churches nowadays. It’s also common that we prescribe it a lot for people that make enquiries on every little challenge, dreams or nightmare. I find this disturbing because having studied the bible a little, the lifestyle of many giants in the faith and anointed books on prayer of men with proofs of dominion like Kenneth Hagin, Bishop Oyedepo, I have realized surprisingly that warfare prayer should be the least on the prayer list on a Christian. Shocking right? Here are my reasons:
From Ephesians 6:18, we are made to understand that there are different kinds of prayer. And we ought to learn how to engage all of them as the spirit leads per time, we are not to be fixated on only one kind of prayer. The whole world lies in wickedness (1 John 5:19) and we have to fight battles from time to time. But the reason why MANY CHRISTAINS ARE DEFEATED IN BATTLE IS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO FIXATED ABOUT THE BATTLES THAN MAKING THEMSELVES BATTLE READY ALL THE TIME. IT’S JUST LIKE USAIN BOLT BEING OBSESSED ABOUT ONLY THE OLYMPICS 100 M FINAL (WHERE THE WARFARE PRAYER IS NEEDED) AND NOT TAKING THE DAY TO DAY TRAINING AND DIETING SERIOUS (WORD AND OTHER KINDS OF PRAYER). HE WILL FAIL WOEFUL. WHY? “If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small” (proverbs 24:10) The focus of a believer should not be about binding every imaginary devil. IT SHOULD BE ABOUT CHANGING HIS LEVEL OF COMMAND AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH FIRST. DON’T BE WARFARE CONSCIOUS, BE GOD CONSCIOUS, BE RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUS, BE POWER CONSCIOUS, BE REVELATION CONSCIOUS, BE WORD CONSCIOUS. KNOW WHO THE WORD OF GOD SAYS YOU ARE FIRST, BUILD YOUR FAITH, BUILD POWER FIRST OR WARFARE PRAYERS WILL BE FRUSTATING. MAKE YOUR AXE SHARP FIRST AND THEN YOU CUT THE TREE WITH ONE STRIKE.
Warfare prayers are weapons of offense but they are only effective in the hands of people who are skilled (Heb 5:14). That’s why by mere appearance of one person all the demons have taken to their heels while, another person has shouted in Jesus name 100 times and use 10 buckets of anointing oil and yet the demon is just there chilling..lol . Every born again Christian is a light (matt 5:13 and 14) but the level of brightness differs. We should be more focused about increasing our intensity by being more like Christ in holiness and dominion. Most times the devil attacks me, I do less of warfare prayers, instead I search myself to see the loopholes I left, I repent of them and sanctify myself, I study and pray to change my level of command and for revelation on what I must do and that’s it. There is an extent of power you carry, some demons don’t come near you.

STUDY THE NEW TESTAMENT WELL, YOU WON’T SEE THE APOSTLES STRUGLING AND WAILING BECAUSE OF TINY DEMONS EXCEPT ONLY ONCE IN MATTHEW 17:21 BECAUSE THEIR LEVEL OF COMMAND WAS LOW THEN. IT’S NOT FOUND ANYWHERE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHERE WARFARE PRAYERS WAS THEIR FOCUS. RATHER YOU WILL FIND PRAYERS ABOUT BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, WITH WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, PRAYER FOR THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL, PRAYER FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW CONVERTS, PRAYER FOR LEADERS, PRAYER FOR SANCTIFICATION, PRAYERS FOR OUTBREAK OF SIGNS AND WONDERS, PRAYERS FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE.

As I round up this first part, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ON THE DAY OF BATTLE, “YOU DON’T WARFARE WITH THE DEVIL” THAT’S A BLATANT MISNOMER AND THAT MENTALITY IS A SNARE, IF YOU WARFARE WITH HIM HE WILL BE BEAT YOU. WHAT WE DO IS TO “EXERCISE AUTHORITY”. YOU TELL HIM “ SATAN STOP THERE “ AND HE STOPS, YOU TELL HIM “SATAN GET LOST” AND HE GETS LOST, YOU TELL HIM SHUT UP AND HE SHUTS UP. YOU DON’T FIGHT HIM LOL, IN BOXING YOU ONLY FIGHT SOMEONE OF YOUR WEIGHT CATEGORY. NO! YOU DON’T, YOU ARE NOT HIS WEIGHT CATEGORY, YOU ARE CARRYING JESUS’S WEIGHT CATEGORY. WHY? BECAUSE YOU MUST HAVE BUILT AUTHORITY IN GOD’S WORD AND IN PRAYER. THE DEVIL IS TOO SMALL TO BE THE FOCUS OF YOUR PRAYER LIFE, THAT YOU NOW GO ON PRAYER AND FASTING BECAUSE OF HIM ALL THE TIME. GOD AND HIS KINGDOM SHOULD BE THE FOCUS (MATT 6:33) AND AS YOU DO, YOU BECOME MORE LIKE HIM. I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME ONE TINY DEMON ATTACKED ME, I WOKE TO SEE HE HAD HELD ME DOWN. THE MORE I STRUGGLED, THE MORE IT OVERPOWERED ME. THEN I WAS LIKE GOD WHATS HAPPENING KE? A SMALL VOICE SPOKE FROM WITHIN “DON’T OVERESTIMATE THE ENEMY”. I JUST RELAXED AND BEFORE I MENTIONED IN JESUS NAME ONCE LMAO. JUST IMAGINE THE REST...LOL…

IN PART 2, BY GOD’S GRACE I WILL EXPLAIN EPHESIANS 6: 12 TO VERSE 18. WARFARE PRAYER IS NEEDED BUT IT’S MUST NEVER GET TO WHERE WE ARE INDIRECTLY IDOLISING THE DEVIL BY EVEN REVERING THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF GOD….. THANKS

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! YOU NAILED IT. BUT PLEASE, ALSO ADD AND EMPHASIZE HOLINESS.
