If I recall, a certain Asari Dokubo, an ex-militant, threatened Nigeria with war if GEJ doesn't win elections come 2015.
I also recall NOBODY called for his arrest or ascribed his threats as treason till date. Doyin Okupe and his master apparently suffer from Selective Amnesia

Dumb Bleep, Asari holds no.political office neither has he ever asked for votes from electrorates.

My man kaynine59
I woke up to this horror news, and I felt really bad.
I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
God always knows why.

Why this people come slow down last week.
Abeg the wait aint funny anymore.
Being reading the thread but para never gree me talk.
They should call us already haba na.

Hello house,

Please who has recently secured an admission at SAIT, Alberta but applied as a postgraduate student ??

I really need your guidance asap ... Thank You.

Brother I beg you in the name of God, forget SAIT. Those people international student policy is too rigid. I was warned but i still fell victim.
I applied for there BAPT program in For Sept 2014 start date after I learnt about the program at the education fair, I was waitlisted from April to July, I was told to move my application for winter 2015 intake which stated on 1st if August, that I would be one of the first students to be considered since u have been on there waitlist.
I forfeited my admission with centennial college and sin clair college for sept 2014 just because I really wanted SAIT admission.
Lo and behold after waiting from August to October, I was again put on waitlist for winter 2015.
All my calls and cries for a timely admission so I can apply to the embassy was void.
Lucky for me I still had my winter admission for Conestoga issued since May, which my friend in Canada has been telling me to use for my application.
Till today I am still waitlisted on SAIT.
My Advice don't wait on SAIT, apply with any school you have, if you are issued Trv and SAIT decides to admit you, then you can change when you get there.
Learn for me..

Imagine the whole time wasted, i should have known my faith by now, and I ended up applying late.

Marriage is a project in which is totally normal for a working class wife to contribute financially to the running of the home.
I my little experience a lot of women despite contributing to the family saying it's a mans job, while they spend there money on jewelries and irrelevant things.
I have seen women who say they save there funds so they have what to fall back to in case the marriage breaks.
I think both husband and wife should submit a portion of there salaries for the running of the family.

See witch o. Hope say this no concern Naija.
If you have been issued trv, better enter the country sharply now

BOAR:
Why do Ibos love abusing and insulting every other Nigerians, especially the Northerners and Yorubas.?

This is a very inconclusive assumption.
Boar represents Boar and not nairaland.
I witnessed my first case of tribalism first hand during my NySc days, i was also told by someone how they felt IGBOs don't have respect and i asked them according to which culture?
There is no such thing as cultural superiority so when u judge others remember that cultures differ.

Idrismusty97:
I am actually intrigue by some of the comments here. I have saved the thread for future purpose . Since you all have shown you want one Nigeria because an Hausa man said you dominate 41% of the Estate business in Nigeria then good! One Nigeria it is....I see you are all happy.... Any Igbo i see shouting biafra in Nairaland i will just show him/her this thread. 2015 will surely be interesting.

The IGBOs are really an endangered tribe in this country.
They were denied biafra, now when they trying to acclimatize to the so called one Nigeria and they are tagged land grabbers.
In as much as I have made it a personally decision only to invest in the south east you can not blame people who invest in regions with bigger and faster profit margin.
More so, no body likes paying rent for a life time so you can't blame people for building where they want to live.

Shine1177:
Our rail transport system has been in a state of coma for over thirty (30) years so don't expect miracle to bring it to life. Slow and steady wins the race.

Bros I take god beg you,
Don't dignify these morons with an explanation. Let them keep playing bitterness and hope it sways vote for them.

mikeansy:
please what is the difference between "made-in-Nigeria" and "Assembled-in-Nigeria"

Free the shallow minded individual, he probably doesn't know that pan and volkswagen were doing the same in the 70s and 80s

On unemployment, i have seen this administration introduce policies that will benefit us and create employment.

The auto policy comes to mind,
Privatization of the power sector
Revitalization of rail transport and
Heavy investment in agriculture.

We have to understand that a lot of these policies takes time to take effect. We have also seen significant economic growth in the past two year.

Oby ezekwesili said we suffer failed institution in this country and I agree with her because the issue of corruption has never been what one man can fight.
We have the judiciary who have been, greatly compromised, the anti graft agencies, and the house of rep all who are supposed to be the champions of anti corruption functioning independently.

XketchDesigns:
then why did he make such a promise, when knowing well he could not fulfil such a promise?
Doesn't that make him a lair? And what does that make you? Defending a lair?

It makes him human.
It is absolutely normal to underestimate a situation.

XketchDesigns:
How much ignorance can you display trying to paint this very black man white?

Is he the ambassador to UAE?? Are you for real?
Whose job is it to prosecute "perceived" corrupt individual? Are you serious??


Is he not their boss? Is it not his job to make sure they are doing the right thing?

Why did he fire SLS, was it not apparently because he was not carrying out his duties? Why has he asked about 4 heads of NNPC?
Abi does people are different for the ambassador to UAE and the rest?

Grow a conscience and stop supporting evil.

You just said the same thing, he fired them and it's the job of anti graft agencies to prosecute them.

Sometimes it's disgusting knowing you share the same air with some people not to take of the same country.

FG gets all the blame for things gone wrong including there sons failure in waec.
But should never take credit for anything? Really.

More like employees complaining about how they do the job with the directors take home more salary

O boy see questions begging answers
I have always asked why politician who brand themselves anti-corrupt end up with their accused.
Ribadu also comes to mind.

JonBee1:
Nigeria has never had it this bad. It is like an apocalyptic plague infected our rational mind and render us all mindless zombies & undeads.
There's practically no difference between motor park "agberos" and the so-called "graduates" class.
The " agberos" in Nigeria are touted as the scum of the society because their position on issues are mostly based on emotion, myopia and uncouth utterances. Never on objectivity, foresight, honesty and class.

However, in the last 7 years, the Nigeria educated youth, have started showing the "agbero syndromes" with the associated regular symptoms of religious polarization, tribal sentiments and unbridled partisanship.
If with the all the rots, sufferings and setbacks in the Nigerian system; the only concern we have, about who we elect to steer the ship of the Nigerian state, is whether the individual is Muslim or Christian; South or North etc. and not about strategic leadership, war against corruption and national economic revival; Then, Nigerians deserve to suffer & be oppressed... even die!

Bros go through this topic first and you will understand why we are where we are.

loco4love:
Just look at Yoruba politics. How many Christians have become governors in Yoruba states since 1998? Compare that to the number of muslims that have become governors.

Yorubaland is at least 60% Christian. Why are Christians not voting Christians into office? Have they being told to back down. Muslims seem to love the political power than the Christians.

Fashola is a bad leader. This is the same man who wanted to tax church donations but was stopped from carrying out the dastardly act.

Christians now feel inferior to muslims when they see muslims controlling things. Christians if you want to see Christian governors and officials in power vote for Christian candidates and don't vote for muslims.

You beat me to it.
The SW have more political influential muslim figures then christains, hence why they are always willing to align with the North who has more muslim political figures.

baccaspace:
You can be rest assured that the move will be resisted in the Rivers House and other Houses of Assembly. I can NEVER be a Lagos Indigen.

With all due respect, you are brain dead.
It's anyone trying to take any your bloodline?
bloodline that most tribes in Nigeria can't trace past 1800.
People with history dated back to 1500 to countries they have never stepped a foot on are still accorded the same right of indigene of there place of birth.
Celebrate ijaw and tell your children stories of there heritage denying them right of indigene of where there were born, raised and pay taxes is only obtained in Africa.

Balyz:
Look my friend I normally agree with you on most issues but making state of residence that of origin, is detrimental to our way of life as africans. We are un avowedly attached to our ancestral lands especially we northerners. We're not about to tolerate any settler become indigine nonsense anytime soon. Guy our state houses of assembly have been mandated to reject any such proposal. Sorry

Your way of life as Africans which has achieved what exactly? Tribal wars, ethnical politics, regional violence and loop holes for foreigners to incite tribals against each other.
Friend, please the world is moving and these are things keeping us back.
Even the ancient Greeks and Romans whose history and ancestory and known world wide for ages have moved on.


And I also hope you are against the gay bill,because it's also not our way of life in africa. If not then you are the best hypocrite of all times

Gbawe:
Sorry for my rash words. I apologize. I thought you were the usual rabble rousers who postulate chaos and enmity over everything that should be about civility and maturity. I do get your argument. It is one I actually agree with haven benefited from similar via being born in the West and thus having dual nationality. There is nothing I wish to do or achieve anyone has stopped me gaining. That does not mean I should then be impudent, egotistic and openly disdainful of all around me. Most Yorubas are tolerant and will likely have no problems with the proposed indigene ruling if not for events of the past few years. Many Igbos , under GEJ some of them take to be a reincarnation of Ojukwu, have gone public with their hatred of the Yorubas and their complete dedication to fighting and proving a point to them perhaps because they remain vengeful about the war mirroring what Osita Okechukwu termed "chop sand syndrome".

This is why when some Igbos should talk of humbly serving others they will prefer to say they want to "control" them. When they should be gracious about their good fortunes, which others also have in abundance yet are silent about, they will say they "are "supreme" and have "enslaved" others in their land and "control their economy". If they "pull out" then this State will crash and similar braggart bullcrap. They will take to the net every single damn day to insult Yorubas as Lazy/dirty/ugly etc. This is despite the fact that the Yorubas appear to have moved on from the civil war with how they host the Igbos equitably and graciously in their domain since the end of the war and generally refrain from incendiary behaviour towards them. Bro, have you noticed on this thread it is the Yorubas who are against this indigene proposition while it is Igbos in favour? Before the very divisive GEJ came along, when so much hate was not dished out in cyberspace daily, most Yorubas would probably not have cared either way. Many of us warned the hate-mongers but they would not listen. Things are now what they are and we are back in the days ethnic tension, loathing and distrust that was a precursor to the civil war. Let the haters enjoy the cold war they have created when we all, especially young folks, should have moved on to be focused on developing a modern and progressive nation.

Firstly I don't know why IGBOs and yorubas make things and threads like this about themselves even when they are all victims of the circumstances.
The indigenous constitution has also limited the Igbo man in igboland and the Yoruba in yoruba land, owing to the fact that you have to go to your state of origin if you nurse any political ambition. Despite where you were born, despite how many years you have worked, paid tax and contributed in the building of the state or community.
I always use myself as a case study, i will have to go to a state I visit only on Christmas holidays, where they laugh at my own dialect of our language and where I am totally disconnected from the social and economic situation if I decide to go political.
Meanwhile I have no claim to a state I was born, raised, got educated and pay my taxes.
Even El rufai has called for state of origin to be replaced with place of birth.
This has nothing to do with Yoruba or igbo if we have to integrate nigeria, and live as one nation and grow then we have to move on from this ethnical divide which has always plagued our country. Our ancestry is meant to be celebrated and not foster future divide.

African is the only continent such limitation can still be obtained.
Someone said that U.S and canada is an immigrant nation, it's very funny because the land was owned by red Indians the native Americans. I refer such person to Google gangs of new York and see what happened between native Americans and the Irish immigrants.
Even today citizenship is granted on the bases of investment you own in uk and us.

Aigbofa:
A Lebanese can also be a citizen of Nigeria by birth, can he also be an indigene of Abia?

You are an indigene of a state you are born in and you have equal electoral right of an indigene if you have lived and worked in a state for 8yrs.

I applied sept 25th via paper route so am sure I still ve awhile. God is on the throne and my application is anionted with God's oil of favour. Amen

Anyone caught a glimpse of the new enlarge alert on CIC page.
Make them no put sand for person garri o.

redribs:
I dont see it that way. I dont think the embassy intentionally keeps application times at 2 or 3 months or whatever period. I believe it depends on how inundated they are with applications and how many workers (Visa officers) are available to evaluate them. For Winter, there are fewer applicants and that's why most of their processing times during the period may seem faster than those processed for Fall. The online route, typically just cuts out delays at the VACs and other naija factors and logistics that posess that inherent "african timing" nature. I can also imagine that paper applications are eventually scanned as well and eventually evaluated on the computer, just like the online applications (I may be wrong tho, but I think it makes sense). Scanning so many docs and grouping them properly could also take time...

So in essence, if anyone is just about to apply for the Winter semester (2015), I reckon you use the online application...Altho, using the paper route might take less time now sha (compared to earlier applications) because most of the prospective applicants have thrown in their applications as far back as august so this is not really a rush period for study permit applications.

These are just my views sha. (Or maybe just ideas to keep me relaxed about my "late" submission, lol)

All the best guys.

And have a great week ahead.

Cheers

Nice analysis , i used the online route, submitted on 8 oct.
I asked the biometric lady if I had time and she said yes I had enough time.

Bobbieydeey:
Let me just put this out,for those waiting for medicals wey una blood don dey hot they always call up 2-3months after doing your bio...though my bro applied with a maple agent got the medicals email exactly 2months after doing bio ! So make una try chill small asfar say una dey legit and your SOA garra, God don stamp am

2 to 3 months? Before medicals? Are you kidding me? So people who applied on October for winter start date are already late?

millymc:
I tot u applied online....

I thought I heard people say it took about 6 to 7 weeks from submission to Trv.
Why is it now taking 7 weeks for medical request??

Oga dont com here and start sayin sometin u havent researched properly i knw of a student in Yabatech dat after graduating, he applied for transcripts (after result has bn issued to him), dats wen ur almighty sch cudnt find his file.

U want me to start mentioning schools, here they are:
Laspotech
Lasu
Unilag
UNN
Lautech
oou

if u apply for ur transcript in any of dis schools it taks forever to get it, n dis ar top placed schools in nija o.

Pls lets call a spade a spade Nigerian schools ar pure nonsense.

People like to live in denial, i can't imagine asking my school to send my transcript abroad, it would never happen. What we do is get the copy from them then send it through DHL with the school address as sender.
That way all headaches are avoided, though i never sent transcript to any school via mail, i saw most schools who wouldn't accept an online application and scanned copy of my transcript as being rigid.

Application submitted.
Biometric done today my bday.
The power of God that brought me to life today more than 27yrs ago, has brought my TRV, IJN, Amen.
This is a decree.
