msoloye.. ..a solution to your problem 'might' be applying for a Canadian visa. There you have the healthcare you need and your husband can be with you too.

Please ooooo..has anyone gotten PTA from Stanbic (or any bank) this week? Whats their rate please?

Pwhitelaw:
thanks for your quick response. you I mean I should tell them I lied saying am married.because I want to reapply using my real status.

Well, your other option would be providing your wife and 10month old twins and applying with them as a family for the vacation..... Admitting to the lie might be an easier task.
But then again, what was the reason for the refusal as stated on the paper given to you?

Liftefhands...dont rush it. Forgiveness would come, though it might take a while but you would forgive him. And when you forgive him you would forget the other woman..she would cease to exist.
Right now you need to focus on how to forgive him and make him build back your trust for him. If you need to see a counsellor, please do. But don't beat yourself up if you are not forgetting the whole incidence as fast as you would want to.
May God restore all that is lost in your marriage.

@ Sugah, how's u? Missing u on dis thread o, who ll ginger us as we're abt to enter 3rd trimester.

Enkay's GALLANT SOLDIER has made his grand entrance into our beautiful world...
He came in at 5am today, healthy and weighing 3.4kg via EMERGENCY CS...
I'm all tired and stressed out, but sooooo in love...

Congrats dear.

luscioustrish:

glad to see your visit with your inlaws went well. May the rest of your Union and relationship continue to be sweet.

enque:

Thanks

Kindly resend please.

luscioustrish:

#teamoctoberforsexyborning

Yes I'm fine, thanks for asking.


Congrats to the recently offloaded mamas.

nefertitiram:
Chai! I don't have that info o! I'm guessing it will tally with your US stay

Ok. Id do the research.

OmoBendel24:
You get for as long as your passport is valid for most times. Application flies from either NY and LA as at the last I knew of. Anyways, let's not derail the thread

Thanks

I wasn't fast enough. Couldn't process the form A on time and it was my fault. I hadn't quite decided what hospital to use. By the time, I made up my mind, it was too late. Will check ticket prices around August/September to see if I made a gain or a loss.

Ouch!

Hopefully by then the dollar would have settled sha and summer over.

nefertitiram:
Lolz! abi... Bt d process is shorter and easier than it is from 9ja whr its 52 working days of hypertension.
Plan it well sha! When nxt u r in US add 1mth of waiting time to apply. I hear Niagara is a beauty to behold

Oh yes it is a beauty especially from the Canadian side. We settled for a maid of the mist boat ride and got the Canadian view at our second visit.

Do you still get the regular 5year Canadian visa when you apply from US? I wouldn't mind applying o

nefertitiram:
Who said?

Crossing to canada frm US is a piece of cake. Easier that blinking. All you need is to be stamped into US for 6mths, apply frm NY or California, go for biometrics, wait 3 to 4 weeks and u could b crossing land border frm NY to Niagara falls.

Thank me later

Torr! What you just described is not 'just like that' na ....at least she would still need to apply for Canadian visa and her entry would be documented.
I have tried to cross to the other side to get a better view of the falls but was told id need a visa. So I know you can't just go across the bridge with a US visa.

XX01:

I know but i am hedging against forex fluctuations. I know that government will soon introduce flexible exchange rate which is just a fancy way of pegging the rate at 285 to a dollar. I thought of the risk of waiting till September versus buying now. I got Emirates at 329k. The risk seemed too high for me to take as forex is so volatile.

As for PTA, i can get some from my husband's bank now as per staff. Mine will wait till next quarter but you need a ticket to buy it so speed is everything.

You are a wise woman

ekoboy:
I guess the VO is not convinced of your reason for this travel. I believe she would have been happier to hear that your husband will join you from Canada. This people just want your travel reason to make sense. Seriously why would you want to go to Orlando with your baby( how old is baby by the way) alone. Who will help you hold the baby while you are on a roller coaster.[b][/b] If you really want to travel out of Nigeria on vacation why not to Canada where your husband is.

@bolded, why are you playing judge jury and executioner? What is wrong in taking a child to orlando? Did someone tell you its only roller coasters they have in the whole of Orlando? You should have at least waited to hear how old the baby is before jumping to conclusions. The only reason I might not want to take a less than 1yr old child to the 'theme parks' is cos the child would not remember it later , but would the child have fun? Hell yes!!!
Who would help her hold the baby? That is on the assumption that the main purpose of her trip is to ride roller coaster or visit theme parks?

Iwanawana:
Infact nne the thing tire me biko. I felt pity for the poor woman only for him to come and pull 'what I think the vo is thinking' on her when you are not a vo and can't possibly know what they are thinking. The vo probably had other reason I believe for the refusal. And by d way is it even possible for someone to be studying in a country like Canada illegally? Even in Nigeria, a foreigner can't study here illegally, you must show a proof that u re atleast not here illegally before any school would enrol u bar d corrupt ones.

Yea, the ties the VO is referring to might have just being cos of her biz, and I don't think the bolded is possible.
And its not even like she can cross over to canada just like that.

Iwanawana:
If I may ask...How did u know that her husband is illegal in Canada?

When I read the comment the first time, I came to your conclusion too. But I guess its just an English language problem.
To become illegal with.....
To become illegal like ......

damidamsel:
To answer your question, i did the 8days with my mum , sisters and aunts over there as just a parlor naming coz we already did a big babyshower but came back and did the 40days just exactly like the 8days naming. All in all, everyone was satisfied at the end.

Thanks dear. Its gon be DH and I and his aunt there.... But we have decided to do it when we get back home.

similoluwa1:
Pls help a sister out, my budget is like $500 per month.

Ese

Again id say airbnb would be your best bet for that price. Did a search and found pix attached.... but you can still ask for discount and probably get it at 500 or less.

zaynie:
Hey Sugah....whats up bae?
Hope Ayomide is giving you serious JackieChan kicks .

Im fine dear, thanks for asking yea Ayomide has gotten his black belt in taekwondo already

Congratulations to the recently offloaded mamas. May God bless your LOs.

Happy new week to all mamas.

Thank you all for the responses on the naming ceremony topic, I learnt alot.

DH and I had the discussion and he wants naming ceremony a week after our return from US and child dedication in Nigeria.... Baptism in US or Nigeria, whichever is less stressful.

olimeh13:
More

OP what part of Lekki/Ajah is this? 7Eleven and econolodge don reach Lekki?

MamaOO:
Sugah ma, Muslims don't name children on the first day oo. We do it on the eight day just like the Yoruba traditions. I'm Yoruba and Muslim. Hubby is Christian tho, but he's insisting we will have a naming ceremony even though we live in the US. I'd love to avoid it altogether. Yoruba parents usuall know the name of the child and if you live in the US it's already on the birth certificate, but they usually don't reveal the name of the baby until the 8th day naming or prayers whatever the case might be. I'm still debating if I'm gonna shave his head or not Sha. Still undecided.

Noted on the 8th day for muslims.... but please tell me the head shaving is an islamic thing? Cos na Mohawk my pikin go carry

ozycy:
My sis my sis, kedu? You are actually right. Baptism, dedication shikina

My dear sis anom ofuma. Baptism and dedication was what I always knew of.

^^^
I guess there's a religious denomination undertone to the issue.

justwise:
Abia

Hope you are not a 'my mummy said im from Ngwa' type of igbo

Im Anambra and we don't do naming ceremony. Baptism, child dedication yes but no naming.

LadyGuinivere:
My take on the whole naming thing: will I to please grandparents deprive myself and my child of a better tomorrow? Mba kwa!
My parents sef no kuku send

My dear, no contest sef for that one.

justwise:
We do.

Ermmm, what state? Cos where im from we don't.

Ajujuju2 actually the Igbos dont do a "naming ceremony". At least where I come from.
Im Igbo and Catholic DH is Yoruba and sort of Pentecostal... so there's a clash of culture/norm.
