Kabosky1956: Wow wow wow...April seems to be a long time o! I deferred admission to Jan 2015 due to visa disppoinment and just for them to change my start date&give a new offer letter,I have waited for almost 2months. Just hoping we meet up early enough to apply for the visa..God helping us.
Ontario schools seems to be most flexible of all provinces.
They quick to offer admission.
If you another admission for another school you can apply with it and change to your school of preferance.

saxywale: SAIT and NAIT are very very very competitive....They usually have more applications than seats available. Imagine over 100 applications for a course that has seats for 15 students. So they usually consider applications from Citizens and PR as priority and leave few slots for foreign students. To anyone who may want to apply to sait or nait in the future, the trick is applying 12am midnight on the first day application opens so you get pushed to the top of the queue.
That is what I did when I had my application moved for winter 2015, i applied on the day the application started, 1 Aug. That is after being on the waitlist since feb.

I know i have a greater chance to be offered a sit this time but I can't keep waiting while the CIC time closes really fast.
It's almost 7weeks since my application, and they still can't guarantee me anything.
I will just apply with Conestoga, then change School if I am offered a seat later at SAIT.
I am just upset that I should have done this earlier, just hoping the CIC won't ask why didn't apply since June I was offered the admission.

Holmes007: Bro, pls if ur docs are ready sharply apply. U cant be too early! I am to start classes by Jan 2015, i applied July via paper and now i have my TRV.

I am beginning to feel like i should go soon maybe get a job b4 school starts since i have 3 months b4 start date. My pt, it is better to have ur TRV at hand dan expecting it to come at injury time.
I just hope I havent made a mistake.
I have been offered admission since June by conestoga but I was waiting on SAIT for an admision for petroleum engineering both for winter start.
After a call to SAIT today with no positive outcome, I have decided to pay conestoga tuition and apply with it.

I just hope I am not late hopefully 3 months wil be enough.

This is the most sickening nauseating depressing and scary piece I have ever read.
Tearing an identity and symbol of a sovereign state, degrading,desecration and dehumanizing of a Minor within his legal rights.
I am not a legal practitioner but is this is nothing less than an international crime.
If this child had starved to death, he would have been buried and probably declared missing. This is disturbing.
That air line needs to the bankrupted with legal proceedings.

My Ogas in the Building, as i await my Admission letter next week, i am on the process of document gathering and i have a few more questions
I am using two sponsors, both sponsors are my older siblings (Sisters) and so far here is what i have been able to gather.


Sponsor Statement of account
Sponsor International passport
Sponsor Baptismal certificate( couldn't find birth certificate)
Sponsor Prove of Assests ( Stock portfolio and Property)
Sponsor letter of Introduction
Sponsor Letter of support
sponsor affidavit of support

Co Sponsor International Passport
Co sponsor Baptismal Certificate ( again couldn't find birth certificate apparently rats got a hold of them)
Co Sponsors Certificate of Business ownership
Co sponsors Affidavit of Support
Co Sponsors statement of account
Co Sponsors Purchase invoice from America.
I am not sure i need a Letter to support for co sponsor too?


My NYSC Discharge
Letter of explanation
Birth Certificate
Police Report
Intend to put school fees Receipt... Pending..
Intent to put one or two share certificate of mine.


With the above do i need to put my employment letter?
I finished my Nysc July last year and i have been working part time (not a serious job) so do i need to put my statement of account?
I really do have savings too even though i think my both sponsors account would be more than enough.


Please anyone can help me point out if i am missing anything o, we must conquer this VO IJN.

dmcdad: No mem card slot? For Christ sake they offer a 128gb version. Jeez! FYI, my buddy uses one of the latest Technos with 13MP rear camera, and honestly, I'd rather use an iPhone 3GS to take shots than make use of that Techno. So, it ain't about the specs on paper bro. I guess you don't know that. All you care about is to see a spec of 20MP rear camera and at the end of the day it takes shiity photos.
Memory slot is becoming out dated due to cloud computing.
All you need is an apple I.D, and all your files are saved on cloud and accessible from all your idevices.
Android offers a whole lot of cloud apps, Dropbox, Google drive etc.
But again the integration on Apple is next to none.

Seun: What differences exactly?

UPDATE: Just checked this page: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/
It's the same number of megapixels, same pixel size, and same lens, etc. The main difference is the supposedly faster auto-focus feature. Yawn.
It's the same

ollah1: You are wrong. HTC has the best design and integration is the Android world but their camera is sub par. Sony isn't doing a bad job with -proof and PS4 play while Samsung don't have good design language but has the best features. Yes Touchwiz lags but it packs more features than other OEM Skins. Samsung flagships survive more drop test than others.
Bros the point is HTC is trying something new other than packing mega pixels.
I beg to disagree on Samsung fragility.
I have a sister at home who used Samsung s3, and note 2, and another who uses s4, they both also use iPhone 5s.
All the Samsung screens are broken/ shattered,I repeat, ALL.
The S4 shutdown permanently one morning, and after warranty replacement the screen shattered from a simple fall.
Ironically I watched her iPhone 5s which isn't water proof, fall into a gutter, we brought it out after she stopped screaming, wiped it of and the phone showed zero sign of malfunction.

Funny enough I use a Samsung right now, of course it was a gift and a blackberry z10. Two phone phone companies I dislike most.
(using BlackBerry for data)
But i am a HTC fan.
The day I live the shores of naija for any reason, I am buying all Apple iPhone and laptop SIMPLE.

dmcdad: Dang! I give up! You guys will never stop comparing Android to iPhones rather than Android-iOS and iPhones and/or whatever OEM using Android. If you wanna argue OEMs, better! And if OSs, great! Not taking Android against the iPhone. The iPhone is a single line of product, while Android is an OS that is incorporated by different OEMs.

Abeg I rest my case jare.
On point.
The one wey dey vex me pass na samsung.
What the hell is Samsung?? The only android OEM producers doing a good job in hardware design, innovation and software integration are HTC and Sony.
We have seen features like camera ultra pixel and very cool interactive phone cases from HTC. Sony is doing good with water proof and PS4 play.

Samsung with there tasteless design, poor material finishing and fragility is there to pack processor, ram and 200 mega pixels just to sale phones because that is what people want to hear.
Then they incorporate allien features people have to no need for.
Samsung is on the same playing field with techno, and gionee. Glorified plastic then can't survive a simple drop from your hand.

You have to understand that apples strategy is integration.
Apple tries to integrate there products with your everyday life activities that is what makes there product special.
It's not about packing spec.
When it comes to build quality I must say that HTC is the only android phone I really appreciate there design, the iPhone 6 actually looks a lot like the HTC one M8.
I don't use apple products because of there restrictions and high price, in fact I call them an elitist company, but then i do appreciate there products and if I have to buy the phone it means I have to buy the laptop too, because that is the only way you can enjoy the full potential of there products.

PoliticsPhcn Ordeal by standupguy(op): 9:25am On Sep 10, 2014
So i recently moved into a newly built apartment in block of 6 flats, the landlord had already paid phcn for a prepaid meter for all flats but till today this meters are yet to be delivered by the company.
So we have no meters but phcn brought a bill of 6000 naira 2 months ago for each flat including for an unoccupied flat, they told us to pay this bill or be disconnected. We were also told that failure of any flat to pay would result to disconnect of all six flats.
Firstly we argued that 6000 was high as we never had steady power as at that time,(2 to 4 hrs a day) sometimes we go weeks without power. We also asked to know how they arrived at that amount even without reading a meter, they told us we couldn't contest it we either paid or get disconnected.

We paid this bill and the landlord paid for the empty unoccupied flat.
The next month the bill increased to 8000, despite our previous complains but we still paid it.
Two weeks ago we started experiencing better power stability because a transform was changed on the street and behold the bill came yesterday, it was 19,000 for each flat including the empty flat.
Making it a total of 114,000 for six flats a month.
Obviously this Nonsense has to stop, so we have decided to take our chances with our generators, they can as well uproot there electric pole and go home with there cables.
Until our prepaid meter is delivered then we know phcn is ready for business.
They can't be paying for an imaginary bill summed up by one retard without accountability to individual usage.

Dude listen policies are made to suit the masses and the structure on ground.
We welcomed the cashless policy, but instead of making the infrastructure to support it we are retreating.
You live in America, Can you recount how many times you have had to withdraw cash for any purpose at all?, That is because you have almost zero need for cash whats so ever.
Now take a look at Naija is that the situation? should i spill it out.

1. Level of literacy and awareness
2. Unstable infrastructure
3. Poor financial security and Legal actions.
4. This Policies is total rubbish CBN, claim the charges is high on issuing bank but at the end each bank should cancel its charge.

E.G 10 gtbank Users use ecobank and 10 ecobank users use Gtbank, automatically the cross charges are cancelled out.


I have been stranded at night with my car overheating i needed to buy coolant and water for my car but i didn't have cash on me.
I had about 3 atm cards on me but guess what, all gas station needed cash because POS was not working or because what i wanted to buy was below 500 Naira. I had to buy things i didn't need just to get water for my car.

I was shocked when i got that text from Ecobank this morning, obviously it was a trick on the masses include me.
but we need to reject this nonsense with all we have got.

akinyes: Good day all,
I havent been keeping up with this tread for some months now but its because my application has taken longer than normal. For those who are passing through the same please dont give up hope.

I applied to and got admitted into SAIT in Sept '13 and applied for my TRV on the 21 oct 13. i had the mistake of applying via paper base and my application wasnt processed till 31 jan 14 when my classes started 6 jan 14. SAIT refused to defer my admission so i had to reapply and because i did so late i was placed on their "Qualifed Waitlist". Thus my wait began!

The Deputy High Commission of Canada in Lagos called me 4 times in bi-monthly interval for a new admission letter. I almost gave up until JUly 14 when a new admission letter came just 1 week after the The Deputy High Commission of Canada in Lagos had called me and said they wont hold my application any longer and i had to plead for more time.

I picked up my TRV on the 23rd of July 14 and will be jetting out soon. i dont know if the guys who were here when i first started commenting are still here but i want to thank you all and to those applying keep believing. grin
Bro I remember you. Congrats I have been on Sait waitlist for there Bapt program since Feb, i applied for sept 14, i applied late so the program was already full, so I was waitlisted on but I have asked them to move my app for jan15 start which apps started 1st of the august, so I am waiting for LOA in a few weeks time.
I go need keep in touch with you for future inquiry.

Symphony007: It gives me great joy that there are still countries in africa with a judiciary that does it job without sentiments or personal feelings. No country on earth can have a constitution which protects fundamental human rights then go ahead to criminalize freedom of expression. It is ridiculous and no judiciary will stand for that. Nigeria should take note. Our supreme court must strike down ours if it gets to their desk. If our governments wants it's anti gay law to stand, then it should do a constitutional amendment were fundamental human rights is removed then a law like that can stand. But you can't claim to protect human rights and put people in jail for living their lives because you don't like how they do it. It's a mockery of constitutional democracy. You can't eat your cake and have it.
