AndroBlaze:English no doubt. Xi Jinping actually schooled in USA, so he is even more fluent in English than Putin. But all three speak English fluently. |
Santa2:Because Nigerian passport is easy to buy. Many Nigeriens, Chadians, Cameroonians have Nigeria passports. It is that easy and cheap to buy, no thanks to the fantastically corrupt Nigerian Immigration Service. This goes to show that many criminals caught with Nigerian Passports may actually not be Nigerian but our West African brothers and Sisters who take delight in bashing Nigeria at the slightest provocation. How ironic. |
femi4:The robust reply will never come. Ese walters is still expecting her robust reply since 2013 https://esewalter.medium.com/10-years-beyond-coza-blog-scandal-my-transformative-odyssey-with-pastor-biodun-fatoyinbo-of-coza-8c337fa20c1b |
eDokita:I believe both checks are not mutually exclusive. Security checks will continue independently of the ongoing medical re-check; however, IRCC will not issue PPR without passing medical, even if you passed Security and other background checks. |
eniola1010:Yes. You need a valid USA visa to pass through US on your way to Canada. I will advise you to abort mission and use another route like Lagos-Amsterdam-Canada with KLM if you do not have a valid USA visa on your passport, this is because ICE is not smiling now and can pounce on you at the port of entry to detain you or even send you to El Salvador prison, with the MAGA craziness going on in America. |
rabluk:Yes it has to be. The card/vaccine becomes valid for travel after 10days of taking the yellow fever vaccine however the validity of the vaccine itself is for life. both are stated on the vaccine card issued. In 2019, I had a conference to attend in Mozambique. While Mozambique does not require the Yellow fever vaccine, I was to transit through South Africa, which requires the vaccine certificate for travellers. So, three days before my departure, I went to the Port vaccination centre close to MMA in Lagos to take the Yellow fever vaccine. I paid around N1,950, took the shot, and was issued the certificate in less than two hours. On the night of travel, while checking trying to check into Ethiopia Airline to South Africa, I was denied boarding because my Yellow fever vaccination was only 3 days old, as shown by my vaccine certificate. There and then the Ethiopian Airline officers called a guy on his phone to come and help me out. I was billed N5,000, but negotiated down to N4,000 and less than 10 minutes later, I was issued another vaccine certificate, backdated 2 weeks which enabled me to proceed on my journey that night, so I now have 2 Yellow Fever vaccinations certificate.

Conestone:STATISTICS Of the 14 rulers/leaders, 7 are dead/murdered (Balewa, Aguiyi-ironsi, Murtala, Shagari, Shonekan, Abacha and Yar'Adua) while 7 are still alive as of today (Gowon, Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida, Abdulsalami, Jonathan and Tinubu) That is a balance equation. Obasanjo is the longest serving with 11 years cumulative, and one of the luckiest having escaped Abacha's gallows only to become President again after 20years of leaving the seat. Buhari is Nigeria's Trump who after wrecking Nigeria's economy in 1983-1985 and literally whipping Nigerians with koboko (operation WAI), he was repackaged and returned to the seat after 30years only to do more damage than before to the Nigerian economy and whip Nigerians with scorpions. Gowon is the coolest, the only one to lead Nigeria as a young bachelor at only 32yrs old, had a state-funded marriage, and will most likely have a state-funded burial as well when he die. The only leader who led Nigeria through its civil war and managed to keep the country together. The only ex-leader implicated in the coup detat of Murtala but was granted a state pardon. Shonekan is a man of providence. He was just at the right place at the right time, only to be pushed out without as much as a whimper from him. But he has written his name in the history books of Nigeria as the shortest leader who only held sway for only 83days. |
SmellingAnus:Jesus’ ministry was deeply rooted in compassion for the poor, marginalized, and oppressed. Here’s a list of poor and marginalized groups He visited, healed, and ministered to, as recorded in the Bible: 1. The Sick & Disabled Lepers (Matthew 8:1-4; Luke 17:11-19) – Outcasts due to disease. The Blind (John 9:1-7; Mark 10:46-52) – Often forced into begging. The Paralyzed/Lame (John 5:1-15; Matthew 9:1- – Excluded from society.The Woman with a Bleeding Disorder (Mark 5:25-34) – Impoverished and ritually unclean. 2. Social & Religious Outcasts Tax Collectors (Like Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1-10) – Hated as traitors and thieves. Prostitutes (Like the Woman in Luke 7:36-50) – Shunned by religious elites. Samaritans (John 4:1-42; Luke 10:25-37) – Despised ethnic minorities. Gentiles (Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-30) – Considered unclean by Jews. 3. The Economically Poor The Widow with Two Coins (Mark 12:41-44) – Jesus praised her sacrificial giving. Beggars (Luke 16:19-31, Lazarus) – The poor man at the rich man’s gate. Hungry Crowds (Matthew 14:13-21, Feeding the 5,000) – Fed miraculously. 4. The Oppressed & Exploited Demon-Possessed (Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39) – Isolated and feared. Women & Children (Matthew 19:13-15; John 8:1-11) – Often undervalued in society. Slaves/Servants (Luke 7:1-10, the Centurion’s servant) – Healed and valued. 5. The Grieving & Brokenhearted The Widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17) – Jesus raised her only son. Martha & Mary (John 11:1-44) – Comforted after Lazarus’ death. Key Lessons from Jesus’ Ministry to the Poor ✔ God’s favor is for the marginalized (Luke 4:18-19). ✔ True religion cares for the poor (James 1:27; Matthew 25:31-46). ✔ Jesus identified with the lowly (2 Corinthians 8:9). |
Exceed15:It's the same in India. The light-skinned Northern Indians feel superior to their black skin Southern Indians. It is shameful and discombobulating. |
funkyy598:Liz Truss is not qualified to comment on Mark Carney, As the shortest-serving UK Prime Minister who crashed the UK economy in weeks before Rishi Sunak came to steady the economic boat. Mark Carney never applied for the BOE Governor job, he was headhunted for the position after his sterling performance as the Bank of Canada Governor. Carney remains the only non-British to be BOE Governor to date. He was to serve for 5 years but he was begged to stay for 2 more years after his term expired to help the UK stabilize the self-inflicted economic harm caused by BREXIT. During Brexit debates, he advised the UK to stay in the European Union but politicians berated him, saying he was overreaching and should not make such a call which can influence the Brexit referendum. Will his antecedents make him a good PM for Canada? Certainly not. When the eyes of the lion are bloodshot from hunger, it is not from the mouth of a dog that such observation should flow out. The people who are qualified to talk on Mark Carney are the 3 Prime ministers he served under in UK during his 7 years as BOE Governor from July 1 2013 to Mar 15 2020. David Cameron (Conservative) – until 13 July 2016 Theresa May (Conservative) – from 13 July 2016 to 24 July 2019 Boris Johnson (Conservative) – from 24 July 2019 onwards (Carney left in March 2020) As well as Canada PM Stephen Harper who headhunted Carney to serve as Bank of Canada Governor between Feb 2008 to June 2013. |
BIZNess123:The people executed were Chinese by birth and naturalized Canadians. Technically they are Chinese nationals. Also, they were found guilty of ilegal/hard drug offenses which carried the death sentence in China and most part of Asia. |
proeast:This is a fallacy. None of the leading Western countries have up to 5% of their population as Indian or of Indian origin. The USA has the highest Indian diaspora of about 5 million people and that is just less that 2% of the USA population. While Indians can be loud and aggressive anywhere they congregate, the truth is that they are still a minority in most of these Western Countries as seen below. Fact is a stubborn thing, an ugly fact will always slay a beautiful fable (lies). It will surprise you that countries like Saudi Arabia (8% Indian population) and UAE (35% Indian population) have far higher percentages of Indian population than Western countries be it European or American.

patrickcollins:Not exactly true. Texas economy is $1.8 Trillion while that of Canada is slightly higher at $2.1 Trillion. However Texas has a smaller population of approx 31million people giving a it a GDP of 58K while Canada with a bigger population of approx 41 million people has a lower GDP of $51K |

casualobserver:Familiarity brings contempt. KWAM 1 could not hide his arrogant nature and disrespected both the office of the Federal Repulbic of Nigeria and the person of Asiwaju BAT. Culturally BAT is his senior in age and in office, the use of singular pronoun in yoruba language for BAT is disrectpectul as it is for one's mate and junior (in age & position). KWAM 1 knew that but choose to be disrespectful. Putting a private call of the President on speaker and on the internet is a disregard to protocol. |
Konquest:The back story was confirmed by respected Prof Wande Abimbola here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPdQR5dB1zc The in-fighting between the Oyomesi and the Bahsorun's greed paved the way for Engr Oba Owoade's emergence as the Alaafin of Oyo designate. |
AirBay:Lol, don't sleep on a bicycle. While I concede that the percentage of car theft is much higher in Ontario than in any other province in Canada (but that is to be expected as more than 30% of Canadians (approx 16M) live in Ontario) however, car theft is also rife in Alberta. I know of three people whose cars were stolen in Calgary NW in a space of three months this year.

Summertime:Nigeria is the only commonwealth nation that requires VISA to enter Jamaica. All other commonwealth nations including Ghana, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Seychelles, Tanzania, Namibia, Mozambique etc do not require visa to visit Jamaica. Naija must have shown Jamaica shege promax for this blatant discrimination. |
Pleasantly surprised that the most ranked scientist in the world is from South Korea and not from the usual suspects of USA, UK, China or Canada. My respect was deepened for both South Korea and Spain which has two Scientists each in the first 5 in the world.

justwise:I heard they lost their domain website name after they failed to renew its ownership earlier this year. Some sharp persons have taken over the domain ownership and would probably bleed GT before he sells it back to them. |
Lefty500:There is nothing to worry about if it is a GT Dollar Card. I had a refund done on an expired GT dollar card and I was able to transfer the funds out of the card into my domiciliary account even though I did not renew or get a new GT dollar Card |
RealVictor:This Reminds me of my experience in 2019 while going to Mozambique. While Mozambique does not require the Yellow Fever Card, South Africa which I will be transiting through requires it. So 2 days before my flight I went to the Port Health office close to MMIA and got the vaccination and the Yellow fever card. On the night of my travel, Ethiopia Airline said I could not board, because my Yellow Fever vaccination was gotten 2 days earlier and that it had to have been done a minimum of 10 days earlier to be valid, it was even written somewhere on the Yellow fever card itself. I was flabbergasted, you mean all my efforts to get the vaccine are now in vain? How do I tell my company that I can not make the conference that I was sponsored for? Where do I start? While still in a state of confusion, one of the Airline staff approached me and said if I had N5K, he would get me one that was backdated. I negotiated for N4K and after 15 minutes, I was presented with another Yellow Fever Card with a vaccination date of 2 weeks earlier. Nigeria will stress you but will also give you options to destress the situation. |
StoriesUpdate:Kudos to King Sunny Ade, still commanding the entertainment stage at almost 80years of age with such vitality, vigour and finesse is no mean mean feet. As kids, we grew up on his evergreen music, and seeing him still going strong on stage at 77 years is very heartwarming. |
Zeewirld:Where ever you find job first is your home province. This means that you will have to live on your POF for anything between 1 week and 6 Months. Without job your POF will last twice longer in Alberta than in Ontario or BC. But you will have thrice as much opportunities for Financial roles in Ontario than Alberta. So the choice is yours. Also note that Alberta is more than Calgary & Edmonton. You have other places like Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Brooks, Red deer etc which even have lesser cost of living than the popular two cities mentioned above, this means settling in any of them will even make your POF to stretch longer while you look for jobs. |
Officialarhnie:No. Your first port of entry can be YYC airport in Calgary or YEG in Edmonton. All you need to do is to book KLM as your preferred flight as they go from Lagos to Amsterdam and then to YYC or YEG. No need to stop over in Toronto. |
njambert:Congratulations on your landing. May Maple land favour you and yours. Out of curiosity, why are you mulling moving back to Calgary knowing fully well that things are cheaper in Edmonton as well as the cost of living being lower in Edmonton? |
Acquiredollars:in terms of the abundance of opportunities, Ontario, British Colombia and Alberta in that order are your best bet. But if your Phd is in French or you are Bilingual then Quebec becomes your first sure banker while O-BC-A follows in that sequence. Atlantic Canadian provinces have smaller population compared to Mainland provinces hence you may be lucky to clinch the relatively few opportunities there hence Nunavut & Nova Scotia may be your lucky charm there. All the best in your endeavours. |
Fix it for you. Thank me later. Astrotaxi11: |
Pearlyfaze:Getting your papers will certainly be faster and cheaper than in the UK but only you can decide what really is the best for you considering your unique situation. Taxation varies by province but the least tax in Canada is around 22 to 25%, if you have children however, you will get freebies in the guise of Child-Care Benefits from both the Federal Government and Provincial Government to alleviate the tax pinch on your finances. There are tonnes of Government-sponsored programs to get you integrated into Canadian society and land a good job, you just need to dedicated and discipline. It is almost guaranteed that you if you come into Canada as a PR, you will get your Citizenship in 3years. I have no first-hand experience with living in Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, PEI, Nunavut etc) except that they are smaller provinces compared to Mainland Canada (Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, BC & Sask) and they sometimes have tax incentives over mainland Canada. In all, if you don't mind the weather, you can not go wrong with immigrating to Canada, other things being equal. |
iphenon:Go to Banff. It is just 1.5hours away from Calgary. You will love the place. It is straight out of the movies. If you'll rather not drive that far, Go to Prince's Island Park in South West Calgary That is another cool spot to relax with nature at its pristine. |
