Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by spicyuzo(m): 12:45pm On Feb 08
Greetings everyone,
I'm curious...
If I top-up my POF a few days before my student visa appointment just to make up for the rates, will this affect my application?
Do I need to wait the extra 28-30 days circle again?

I am not too sure why people are scared of Toronto Pearson Airpot POE?

That Airport is actually the best to come into Canada, you can be rest assured you will not be discriminated against as they have a lot of friendly blacks and Asians CBSA officers unlike the POE in Montreal, BC or even Alberta with white folks.

I personally don’t like Montreal because they speak French and French people are something else.

Anyways, best of luck to everyone coming in!

I think this is quite relative. The officer who checked me last Friday was black, and he looked at my passport so much so that my colleagues began to ask me if there was something hidden in the Nigerian passport which the guy wanted to find.
I think the POE experience one gets depends on the mood/instincts of the officer he/she runs into.
My next entry will be from Montreal, I hope I meet a jolly good fellow.

TV/Movies / Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by spicyuzo(m): 6:22pm On Apr 03, 2023
majesticguy:


I highly doubt they'd kill off either Jake Sully or his wife, else they plan on ending it at 3, which i believe is highly unlikely.

If you kill either of the 2, film don finish be dat na, it'd be impossible to spin any meaningful story without those 2.

Tbh, I think Avatar 2 opened up several possibilities to spin the story.
Possible paths could be:
1. Sully's son leads Avatars VS Spyder leads Sky people ( my best bet)

2. Sully slowly uniting all Avatars ( Ascending to some kind of Avatar King) against the common enemy. Water tribe + Forest tribe already done

Other possibilities.....

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Have You Ever Felt Like A Fraud in your workplace? by spicyuzo(m): 4:26pm On Jul 05, 2022
YourBestWriter:
So my friend got this job in management because he knew somebody in that company. But there is high expectations from the company for him to deliver positive results as one of the managers in that company.

This my friend is a university graduate with second class lower result and this manager position is for guys with first class results.

He has never been in management before. Infact, this friend of mine have been at home as an unemployed since 2014. He is socially awkward and easily discouraged. Now he's got this huge job with a big pay, and he is telling me that he feels like a fraud.

He asked for my advice, but I sincerely don't know what to advice him.

So I throw the topic to you guys.

How is he going to behave and probably grow some confidence to overcome this inferior complex?

Management is not a job, management is a position you grow into based on years of accumulated experience.
Management doesn't depend on IQ quotient or academic qualifications, management capabilities comes from actually growing through the ranks to attain a certain level, and then leading people through almost the same or similar routes which you have navigated on different projects or tasks.

Actually the success of any team greatly, largely and astronomically depends on the managers ability to manage.
The team almost always expect the leader to know what to do, and this confidence to lead comes from years of experience.

So your friend can either decide to stay put and probably wrestle to keep afloat, or he could just find a way to actually be a manager overnight.

Education / Re: Who Remembers The Name Of This Book? by spicyuzo(m): 9:50am On Feb 11, 2022
9jaBloke:
Sugar Girl by Kola Onadipe.
Some of his other books I read then include:
Adventures of Souza
The Boy Slave
Return of Shettima

Those were the days.

These books made our childhood.

This Raliya-the Sugar girl for example, was my one time favorite.

Now that İ think of it, i didn't really need TV, reading books as a kid made you create the images and play the script in your head over and over, and in ways that prompted you to ask questions. İt kind of stimulated the thinking faculty.
On the other hand, TV is like watching someone's well scripted story, as a kid you can't really add your imagination to a TV show, you just watch and enjoy.

So now İ ask....What's better for kids....TV or Books?
Or a bit of both?

Religion / Re: Holy Bible Spared As Fire Burn Cars In Onitsha, Anambra State (Photo, Video) by spicyuzo(m): 4:53pm On Feb 09, 2022
immortalcrown:
I respect, love and fears the word of God. But this incident is not a miracle by God. Either the fire did not affect where the Bible was kept or the Bible is fortified with fetish things.

God does not perform this kind of miracle. The Bible, though containing the word of God, is a bunch of paper made by humans. God is not irrational. He will not make humans flammable and make Bible non-flammable. He has the power to do it but He is not as foolish as human to do it. A man can do it to brag about his power. God will not save the Bible and allow the car to get burnt. God is not irrational and wicked like a man. The biblical statement that the word of God shall not pass away does not mean the holy Bible is non-flammable. When some houses containing copies of the Bible get burnt, the bible copies also get burnt depending on how the copies are kept in the houses.

If you set your Bible on fire, the back covers and the edge will definitely get burnt. The Bible will not get completely burnt because the pages are air-tight. Burning is difficult or impossible without air. Only a very old Bible with deformed edges and loose binding may get completely burnt. Dictionaries and other thick books are not different. The only way to make a thick book burn completely is by socking the book in an inflammable liquid.

So, none of the houses that got burnt in this world contained a Bible or the Bible was not destroyed by the fire? Or, was God uninterested in the Bibles that got burnt in houses? Or, is this man's Bible different? Why will God spare the Bible and allow the car to get burnt? Can't the man purchase another Bible? Is the Bible printed in heaven and brought to earth by Angel Michael? Or, is the Bible more expensive than the car? What point will God prove by preserving the Bible without saving the car? God inspired the writing of the Bible. The same God inspired the manufacturing of the car. Both the car and the Bible are for mankind. While will God hate one and love the other? For your information, God does not love the Bible. God loves His word and His word can be written somewhere apart from the Bible. The Bible is not even the original version of the written word of God. You can write the word of God on your walls and God will not love the walls. The only thing God loves on earth is human and good human actions.

This post should be pinned!!!

Infact, could we take it up a notch by adding that "Miracle is for the unbelieving".

Faith in God is believing without seeing, without reason, believing in God only because he is God and has redeemed us through Jesus Christ.

The greatest gift to mankind is that God who is almighty came down to dwell in us and within us leading and directing our steps daily, but Alas! That isn't a good enough miracle for us......
We simply seek out an unburt bible in the midst of burnt lives and properties....And this is the so called miracle.

I'm a graduate of Accounting and currently serving in Kano State.
I'm quite good in Excel and SQL. Still learning Python and I will start learning Power Bi or Tableau soon.

Please sir, based on your experience, what's the chance of someone with Accounting background? And what do I need to do to be job ready?

Thank you.

I hope this encourages you.

1. Keeping going, don't stop. Get your hands dirty by doing projects. Create a GitHub repository, get on Kaggle, post the stuffs you've done. Put your tasks out there.

2. When you feel confident enough, and backed by the array of projects in your portfolio, then you start applying for positions abroad. Yes do that, don't feel shy or not good enough, just make good applications. You'll get a lot of rejections, but keep going, all you need is to get just one.

3. When you eventually get one, you'll be given a task to do. This is where you shine. Do the task to the best of your ability. You'll be given an opportunity to present your results.

Notice that I didn't mention about your degree yet?
Well yes, that's cos in these countries, they first want to know what can you do, can you get the job done? And then they'll look, is he/she educated? Those places it's not about the best certificate for the job, it's about the best fit for the job.

4. And if you do land the job, good for you. They'll relocate you and even your family.
And why will they do that?

Cos you my friend are the best fit for the job, and they won't spare resources in recruiting your talent.

Good luck.

God bless you always.

Btw...... Accounting is numerical and would be a good foundation for a data Analyst

Does anyone know if this course in TU Darmstadt; Msc Logistics and Supply chain Management is NC Frei or Restricted. And also if one can apply to more than one Msc degree program in TU Darmstadt. There are no information about my inquiry in the website, not even in the FAQ. Its urgent please

i know someone who got admitted into two programs at this school and ended up settling for the LSCM.
I'm not really sure the NC frei, but my best guess is that it falls into the category.
Hope this helps

Sorry to say but you just wasted your money. Germans are very strict, when they ask for something either that or nothing else.

I sincerely beg to disagree on this conclusion. I think the action he took is better than nothing at all.
Also, I disagree with the generalizations that a people are "very strict".
The party on the other end may be a Turkish-German, or Romanian mix or some other race. It's really discouraging to throw in such conclusions especially when it's obvious that the sender is already perplexed from lack of ideas which is really not his fault.
Strict, lenient, and other attitudes are human behaviors, they shouldn't always be tied to particular people.

Programming / Re: Should One Learn Programming For The Sole Aim Of Making Money? by spicyuzo(m): 3:01pm On Dec 09, 2020
Heartlessbanker:
Should one go into programming for the sole aim of making money?

İn my opinion, Learning to code is not a goal, Knowing what you want to do with a programming language is a better motivation. İnfact call that this, The single enough motivation.
You have to find out what is your single enough motivation?

İf my little experience help shed some light on what i mean; As at 2011-2012, i already had introductory courses on Java, Php and some C, but somehow i couldn't stick. A friend was already doing stuffs and earning from some projects but somehow i still found a way to lag behind.
But fast forward years later, Now I'm reading through documentations, tuning for hyper parameters and all what not, Not because money eventually fell down from the skies, not exactly because the industry eventually became lucrative, but, simply for the fact that I found a passion, and coding happens to be a tool to do the things I like to do.

My point is, coding is a tool to reach an end, the goal should be the motivation, not the tool or the need to earn money with the tool.
I'm seeing biologist who are coding, economists and even researchers in the field of linguistics who are coding, not exactly because of the money but simply because the goal they wish to achieve requires that they pick up this skill.
This goal is your single enough motivation.

İn conclusion, your single enough motivation will make you go all the way. Have you ever wondered how some people know about 4 or more different coding languages, How they are almost versatile across different platforms?
İ don't think they did that for the fun of learning the language or for the potential money they can earn, instead, i think that on they way chasing their goal, fired up by their single enough motivation, they walked through the corriodors of those skills and picked them up.
Money shouldn't necessarily be a goal, money is the by-product of chasing your goal.

May God bless us all in our endeavors.

How have we been reduced to recovering and counting?
1, 43 or 110 what difference does it make?

People were Massacred
People Died

What state of disillusionment have we snowballed into oh dear Nigeria?

What kind of confusion is this?

How has the matter changed from loss of life to number of dead?

What achievement is there in having a lesser number of dead people?

Will the security outfits be applauded for justifying the number 43 instead of 110?

Who benefits from having the heads of fellow humans chopped off?

How have we fallen into such pit of blindness and callousness?

How can we be politicizing loss of lives?

We aren't dead now, but we will surely be....How will you like to be counted so disdainfully?

Lord Jesus, Nigeria has failed me, please use me for your will because your kingdom never fails anyone who puts his trust in you.
Remind me always that my father land only sees me as a number, and help me never to forget that my true and only identify is in Jesus Christ. Amen

PLEASE, I NEED AN URGENT CLARIFICATION. .
Firstly, it's really unfair to write like this. People are quite helpful here, it doesn't have to be all bold wink

Regarding your question, with assumption that the Austrian process may be similar to that of Germany, your nephew will need an insurance for enrollment at least even before it gets to the residence permit stage.
İ suppose insurance differs from country to country, so his best shot may be to visit the school website and read through. Most times, insurance offers are mentioned alongside information about enrollment and all.
Another possibility will be through the institution that renders the blocked account service. Plenty a time, insurance comes incorporated with the blocked account plan so that's another way around it.
A lot of factors goes into choosing an insurance plan so he may want to do some searching, and possibly contact someone in Austria.

İn summary, the details above are hugely anchored on my little knowledge regarding the process for Germany, and i can't guarantee that same applies for Austria.

Hi pals, do you know anyone know who have travelled to Germany lately? Was he allowed Entry?

In addition to your PCR, you need to fill this digital form.

https://www.einreiseanmeldung.de/

You may recieve a printout of the form in-flight, but i think it's safe to fill it digitally.
You'll be asked if you did it at the immigration control.

This was as of 15-11-2020.

Keep checking around for possible changes until you travel


Also PCR shouldn't be more than 48hrs old.
