Gurus in the house, pls I really need some help with the right way to go about this.
My wife is a student and during her study permit, we submitted the following work history: Optometrist - 2016 - June 2019 (ABCD Eye Clinic) Healthcare Admin - July 2019 to October 2023 (EFGH Eye Clinic)
We made the study permit application in October 2023 and arrived April 2024.
Now the challenge is that we Healthcare admin NOC 30010 is not part of the Healthcare Category draw but Optometrist is.
Meanwhile the actual work history is Optomterist (Intern) 2016 - 2018 (ABCD Eye Clinic) Optomterist (NYSC) 2018 - 2019 (Teaching Hospital Kaduna) Optometrist July 2019 - Jan 2023 ( This job was part -time, like 3 times in a week) Optometrist April 2023 - April 2024) (EFGH Eye Clinic)
She was licensed in Feb 2017.
All the work done at ABCD clinic were paid in cash and transfers from personal account. While the work at EFGH clinic was paid normally from clinic account.
Pls how can we go about this to avoid any mistakes

wify and I wanted to spend our honeymoon in the UK when we wedded in 2019 but I was denied. WE later went to Dubai. I applied to Australia and got a 1 year visa and I just came back from Australia after visiting for 2 weeks.
When I applied to UK, though my company was registered it wasn't operational then and I declared I was earning a monthly income of 500,000. But since then my personal and company account is not bad.
I need advice how to go about re-applying for a visiting visa

Honest advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated
Would you like to share what the relative is going through? Is it possible for your relative to contact me?
oceanized25: Hello,sorry about your situation I read through the thread and sad to see that at your last update you were still looking for a solution..how are you now,did something finally work? A relative of mine is in a similar predicament
So sad to note you are going through this. Would you like to reach me privately? I can share with you how I have coped.
sulphric: I go through something very similar, infact almost alike as mine started as malaria too. Its been 6 months of pain and struggles. We've spent alot of money yet no help. If not for my mother I would have comitted suicide 'cos I've been having alot of those thoughts lately.
ledamaster: Physical solution. stop watching porn, you are addicted to porn I guess? yes? Delete every porn in your fone, start going to mid week service and indulge in positive groups that takes channels your time and attention. Whenever you want to wack it, remember that it also kills your shaft man! weakens your errection and reduces the sensation, to that extent you will have to take off your condom to enjoy sex. This makes it very dangerous, cos you stand a chance of always getting infected with diseases. Masturbation also reduces your creativity, drive and imaginative power. When you let off your sexual urge it reduces your capacity to chase or work hard towards your dreams and potential.
Spiritually someone addicted to masturbation will find it harder to become rich. Worsting still they attract spiritual wives or husbands. if you are spititually sound, you would notice some strange aura or movement in your bedroom roof as soon as you get the urge, or before you masturbate, those are demonic spirits gathering to feast on your destiny. Please stop it.
Just came across this. As much as mastrubation is everything wrong, it doesn't however stop anyone from being rich. You don't need to tell lies bro.
I haven't updated this thread for a while. I want to thank everyone who have contributed to it.
After almost 3 years, my problem still persist.
Between then and now, I consulted with an Indian Neurologist who diagnosed cervical spondylosis. I did several tests including CBC, RFT, LFT, CALCIUM, TFT, FASTING BLOOD SUGAR, MRI C - SPINE, B12 LEVEL AND D3 (25OH). The sample for the D3 was taken to india and the whole test cost so much. After the test the doctor prescribed Gabapentin 300mg for a month. It wasn't yielding results.
I consulted with another neurologist who was charging me 30k per consultation and he was only giving me Amitriptyline and b12 , he helped me.
I equally saw so many other doctors. I met one Neurologist recently who diagnosed my condition as an Untreated Urinary Tract Infection- I was like how on earth could that be my problem? I ran several tests as well and she gave me some drugs.... No single improvement.
But I decided on my own to stop taking any pill , so around November 2019 I stopped taking any pill. Between then and now, I have had some good nights and bad nights. I can say my sleep is now 60%. But i still haven't been able to go back to my previous healthy self.
Presently, I still have this pain in the back of my head, neck and my upper back. Sometimes its like there is a firm grip on my front neck, where the neck joins the chest. Its been a whirlwind but i am grateful i am still alive.
I am still open to some suggestions though. I won't rest till I find solution to my problems.
I have an Elemax 6.5kva Gen I have been using since 2016 but recently our transformer broke down and I was forced to buy Sumec Fireman 3000e2 to save fuel since the Elemax was gulping like 2.5 litres every 1 hour. It is a 2.5kva Gen and I noticed it consumes like 1 litre of fuel per hour. The load on the Gen is usually around 1kva whenever I use it.
I want to know if there is anything I can do to improve the fuel efficiency of this Sumec since I purely bought it to save money on fuel.
ssgi4in1: I am happy I am not alone. MTN is a big mess now. I used to be very proud of their 4G but not anymore. The previous 3.5g is way faster than the so called 4G now. I think it started towards the beginning of this year when they had some network challenge. They are still unable to recover. My Note 10+ is a single sim else I would have loved to try airtel.
I did a speed test of the mtn 4g in my area. This guys are damn wicked. You can see the video
stanboy28: Look..mtn has been superb in my location over the years but now..its trash..its not even whether the is strong signal or what ever..I live directly close to a very huge mtn mast..but their network has deteriorated so badly that its comparable to glo now.. I use to get up to 2MB or 3MB per second but towards the end of last year till now their network has been trash.. I switched to mtn because of my PES 20 online and other online games I play but now its trash.. I can't count the amount of time I have been kicked out of call of duty battle royale because of their trash network.. And recently I notices their 3g is fasted than the LTE..I don't know why but atimes am able to pull up to 900KB or 1.2MB per second on speed but over all..mtn is so freaking poor now..

The picture shown here is quite misleading. The vvt-i gear to replace is the intake side and not the exhaust side. My mechanic said he found a way to fix this and I pointed him to the picture here. My car eventually threw p0014 without the problem solved. I went back to the TSB and saw it is the intake side that should be replaced. I eventually bought the two gears off Amazon at close to USD 600 but it eventually fixed the rattle and the p0014.
As someone who has experienced this, ignore that picture and replace the other one, that's the intake side vvti gear.
AnanseK: It was plausible that you had malaria but you almost certainly never had typhoid. Doctors in Nigeria diagnose typhoid and malaria always and together for any complaints, small or big. They back it up with the spurious agglutin test called Vidal test which I believe has become a dangerous tool that is misused by Nigerian Healthcare providers. The Nigerian patients themselves are not helping. If you tell them that they don’t have typhoid, they will move on to another Dr. ( most probably a quack) who will reinforce their mind-programming about this actually non existent “typhoid.”
The second point is that you had and unnecessary antibiotics treatment and for too long and possibly at high dose. ( you didn’t tell us the dose ,the frequency and the total number of days you had taken azithromycin).
The third point is that you and your care givers went on chasing shadows trying to treat side effects and ill defined symptoms going unnecessarily into neurology and psychiatry.
Thanks for your response. I took 500MG 2 x 2 of the antibiotic for 5 days and eventually stopped after I saw the damage it was doing to me.
I quite agree with your first line. most hospitals are killing us.
Meanwhile, I am looking for solution hence my consulting a neurologist. I will appreciate if you have a solution. Tnx
DEBJOCH1: Hmm, my dear 80% of Nairalanders may not understand what you are going through, my earnest prayer for them is that they should not understand it. I can be in the best position to further explain to others what you passing because i went through the same circle 2017 -2014 when God fully healed me, mine started just as yours, i had malaria and typhoid, went to the hospital for treatment along the lane discovered i could no longer sleep................ stayed in a range of complete one month without dozing off, used everything i can name, visited all kinds of specialist, along the lane, i started thinking suicidal. Yes, the reason why you are having all those persistent pains is as a result of lack of sleep.... Sleep on it self is a healing agent so when you dont sleep, how will healing takes place. In all my dear, i layed everything at the feet of Jesus asked him to deal with me which ever way He pleases. I went religious after exhausting every available medical solution to that. I will advice you stop sedatives all kind of sedatives and go Natural. during the cause of my religion ex-capped, i met a pastor explain my predicament to him, he invited me to a vigil at the place of the vigil i dozed off, na so one mumu usher come de hit me to stand up, na the pastor shout for the Usher to leave me, na so church turn de look pastor in surprise. but all in all i am healed now. now even if i feel i want to have all the weekend for sleep the highest i will take is half a tablet of Puritoon that's all.
biggerboyc: Please if you have a solution don't forget me, your case is not only similar to mine but the same. Mine is even worse. It started May 2018, up till now it's still there. It have even affect one of my eye sight very bad. I've thought of many different thing, brain tumor, brain swelling, cancer of blood. Please just help with remedy
send me a private message. We can chat on WhatsApp
My dear don't mind them. Initially I was afraid it was something spiritual, I had some men of God visit me to pray. I had to give each of them fat envelop whenever they are about going, still I am still here. I am wiser now. I can't fall for their gimmicks again. Tnx
manontree: Sadly you didnt provide your age. However with the numerous doctors you have seen I would assume your vitals were taken and High blood pressure was ruled out. I am a bit surprised with the quick fix prescription of Amitriptyline. It's quite strange you should be prescribed this. This is a psychiatric medication for mental and mood problems and basically a tricyclic antidepressant. The costs outweigh the benefits. There should be better treatment options for something this minor. These medications are highly addictive and extremely hard to get off from once addicted to.
I have noticed a rush to prescribe these and it's like, Xanax, by Nigerian doctors. This is extremely dangerous
I think you have occipital neuralgia which is quite different from migraine and this contributes massively to your insomnia. The inflammation of the occipital nerves causes poor sleep. Since I do not have your medical history, I would suggest you return to your doctor and ask him or her to investigate a possible case of occipital neuralgia for you and recommend appropriate treatment that suits you
I wish you speedy recovery
Thank you very much. I had thought of Occipital Neuralgia as some of the symptoms relate to it. I infact had to stop with the amitriptyline after reading it up because I know how bad it can be. I had visited 4 different hospitals before now and they are supposed good hospitals. They all took my vitals.
I eventually had a video session with my Indian Neurologist, some of my blood samples was taken to Indian and they are all fine. Only God knows how much I have spent all these while.
I will be doing an MRI next week. Hopefully he will be making a definite diagnosis though he mentioned cervical spondylosis when we were talking.
blowjohn: had gentamycin injection recently and immediately started having issues with sleep. I must say though that worrying about it also complicates the sleeplessness. Try sleeping in the morning after waking up to relieve urself of the headache. Then get horlicks someone mentioned above to help sleep at nite. By the way has ur bp been normal?
