Leaving because he's bedridden?Anything can happen to anyone at anytime.I'm not trying to judge you cos you've shown you are strong woman for 2 yrs already.
99% of Nigerian men will not remain. Even their wives that had CS feels useless to them ofoziekwa bedridden wife. It is then they will bundle you back to your ppl.

For a sexually active woman ,the lack of sex can be disturbing.

What I think you should do.
1.choose to be happy.
2.If his penis still works do the riding. If no. Have a talk with him if you can get a Love Machine or a man friend or he can explore you with his hands. Theres no shame in that. Righteous ppl should ignore my post.

3.pls don't stop believing in miracles.
Perhaps sex is not the most important thing here.
I grew up with a neighbor who's father had a terrible stroke that made him stop working at 45, thankfully, the wife was a nurse in a govt hospital and rose to become a matron. She has single handedly raised four children up to graduate, and just moved into her house she built this year before the man passed on at 60.
I Know it's not easy man, but what happens if she leave him and elope with another man and fate deals her another hefty blow?

Hello everyone, Good evening from Milton, Ontario, Canada. I know it's mid-night in Nigeria, 3.06am to be precise, while it is 10.06pm here.

Sometimes ago, that was earlier this year, I requested to help any interested persons send their credentials to WES from my end here, and some people responded, and it is my pleasure to have helped out, at my own cost, because I got a feed back from them that WES actually received their credentials and updated their record.

Today marks my one year anniversary in Canada, and in my "Canniversary" as we use to call it, I'm ruminating on the idea of doing a Webinar, through Zoom, for a question and answer sessions for any interested member of this forum.

I'm looking at doing a two hour session: the first one hour will be done in the comfort of my house, while in the second and final part, I will take you round some facilities, virtually, in my area, to wet your apatite and further increase your interest and thus motivate you to put in more effort.

I mean, for whatever difficulty you may be going through at this point in time, I want to encourage you not to give up. For you to have gotten to this stage, I know you have gone so far, and backing out at this time is a waste of time, effort and resources. Please believe me that you'll not regret all these wahala at the end of the day if it eventually materialize.

For instance, look at me, the last time I went to work, because of Covid-19, was on April 3rd. I am safely in my house, using the advantage to take online courses because the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) of CAD2,230 comes in every month, which is enough for me to pay my rent and phone bills, and still send money to family and friends in Lagos grin

My children, two boys, 5 and 3 years old, collects CAD1,200 monthly for their Child Care Benefit, and it will be increased in July; my wife, who is a student receives CAD2,000 every month because of Corona, and she's on a CAD28,000 per session OSAP loans and grant- 8k is loan and 20k is grant, for two sessions, making 56k dollars. Details of how to go about this will be shared during the session.

So, kindly signify if you're interested and drop the likely questions you may have in mind so that I can research about it before time. Whatever questions, ranging from jobs, housing, child care benefit, schooling, getting loans and grant for goin to school and life in Ontario generally.

However, there's a CAVEAT! No one, I repeat, no one can tell you about Canada! They can only tell you about the Province, and at best the Region they have lived in or that they are living in.

Canada is nine times bigger than Nigeria, if not bigger than the whole of West Africa. Even Ontario where I live is 1.96 times bigger than Nigeria. In my one year sojourn in this land, I only know of and have lived in Mississauga and Milton, and have worked in Toronto. I've been to Oakville once, which is just behind Milton, 15min drive, when I don't have business there.

Milton is in the Halton Region, that is the equivalent of our own Local Government, and it has the following towns: Burlington, Milton, Oakville, and Halton Hills. Trust me, I've been to only Oakville, and it was just the police station. You know, discussing Canada in its entirety will be like someone who lives in Sabo-Yaba, works on the Island in his short stay in Nigeria, has never been to Badagry, and he's now talking of Ghana grin grin.

In any case, I may be able to give some insights about Ontario, perhaps that could help other folks looking at other Province. So, that's the deal.
Interested bro. Nice one you're doing. Like to ask questions about banking, business analysis and lecturing

farmsata:
Nice, I hope a new data comes out to rubbish this whole covid-19 thing.
This virus is really not as deadly as we've been made to believe.
Yes people have lost their lives, but this can be attributed to the fact that it's a novel disease and lots of trial and error have happened (tell me, hey are people not talking about ventilators anymore) and also people who have underlying illnesses.
At the end of the day it will become like HIV where you actually fall ill when u have TB, malaria and the likes which weakens the immune system.
Also fear! Fear has dealth with the world on this big time.
Truth is many of us have it but don't have access to the test and thus we may have just treated it with malaria drug. For instance, during the lockdown I observed my body temperature rising, I felt ok, but I knew this isn't my body temperature, same time was having sore throat, and I don't think sore throat is a symptom of malaria but I went to the clinic, was given malaria medicine, did malaria test and was told it was 1+, I guess all Nigerians have 1+ malaria. I took the malaria drugs, got 200 naira bitter kola as well as a multivitamin I bought in Dubai which is equivalent of about N23k, took all these and I feel better. Did I mention lack of taste in my tongue? That too,, by the time I finished the malaria drugs with bitter kola, I bought zinc and 1000g vit c, my temperature went done, sore throat disappeared and I could feel my tongue.

EducationRe: The Salary Of A Nigerian Professor After IPPIS (Pictured) by slydog(m): 8:41am On May 19, 2020
EricBloodAxe:
While the politicians are piling up allowances upon allowances minus their basic salaries and changing cars every 4yrs to the detriment of the nation's economy, they chose to leverage on their unending pillagery by initiating dubious schemes to shortchange hardworking lecturers who toil to impact knowledge everyday under mundane conditions in our decaying institutions.

It's a shame that a man who promised eldorado for legitimate, hardworking Nigerians in 2015 is the same person who is frolicking with dubious, criminally minded politicians to shortchange the masses. If the so called IPPIS cannot be introduced for Nigerian politicians, let ASUU stay away from the univerisities till further notice.
I love this line of thinking. Ippis should be done for politicians too

The Canadian System in itself is self derogatory.
Quite a number of people who travel there had too much expectations. Even when the welfare is top notch and the government supports immigrants from left, right and centre. At a point as a grassroots African you’ll wonder “ why am I here’ .

One of the suicide tickets you’ll ever buy is to Pearson Intll’ especially when you’re coming from Africa. At first you will be presented with quite a number of opportunities but in reality It’s a 50/50 game.

I will open a thread and entertain free-minded opinion about immigrating to Canada.
Whatever. I am heading there next year.

Which IOM did you have appointment with? I could dm a contact to you. I was scheduled for 23rd and got this email from IOM today:

"Dear Applicant,

Please note if you are doing an upfront medical ( that is you don’t have a medical form sent to you from the Canadian embassy with regards to your medical), We regret to inform you that your appointment is hereby cancelled.

This is in regulation to a directive from the IRCC to suspend all upfront medicals till further notice due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Please confirm to us your status if you have a medical form from the embassy or not to enable us plan ahead"

Now I am between lost and confused...trying to find out if it is upfront medicals that I am doing. I have ITA. Whew!

UPDATE:
It is upfront medicals- (the medicals submitted along with e-APR). All appointment for upfront medical is cancelled. From the attached picture, I suppose one can attached the cancellation email and an LOE to the e-APR.
Pls I sent you a dm, kindly respond

The CIC website usually remains unavailable between 1 am to 6 am EST on tuesdays for maintenance. Which was the case yesterday as well. But now IRCC has put up a website maintenance notice on their twitter account for tomorrow 1 am to 6 am as well. I hope this has nothing to do with today’s draw and everything is carried out like it’s supposed to today.

You also made the post (bolded) below just 5days ago. From experience, WES that I and others know will give at least 20days (that's if you're so favoured) completion date after that stage you claimed you were at on the 14th!
