Romance / Re: Nigerian Boys Are Not Bad, It's The Girls Who Are Foolish by swiftycool(m): 6:31pm On Oct 23, 2013
leonard509: some girls use sex or rather intimacy and even money to make a guy love them .....@ my dear readers,hav'nt you noticed such situations?

At first

have you noticed this senario where a very HANDSOME and SHY guy,less i forget he also has money ....nd she then comes across this guy ...she knows the boy is shy and through my studies that shy nature of his won't let him say just right to her face''I DON'T LOVE YOU'' ...through one way or another ,she'll infiltrate this guy's life ...soon she'll start occupying this guy'z life(like from sitting with him always in class to following him to his house as time goes on she'll start choosing which girl he'll talk to,which girl he'll sit with in class or any occasion in school e.t.c).......wen she starts using money is when i'll have to bring in the sugar mummy ish..i dnt rilli hav to expanciate on that ..m sure most of my readers will either know or those that dnt will surely do by reading some of the comments that'll be posted by those who know....

Thats all i hav to share......ALUTA LEONARD509 was here

From your explanation or rather your description the lady in this case seems quite smart while the guy is being foolish. Its just normal for a go getter to go all out 4 what he or she wants using what he/she has and that's why smart people always dominate fools. Maybe you really need to think about the topic and once again asess the players in context.

It takes a big fool of a man to come out complaining that one girl "chopped"his money after being fooled that she was in love with him and it takes a fool of a man, shy guy or not to be forced into a relationship with a lady he doesn't like, abi what do you think?

vladimiros:

No i used common sense

you people are talking about going here or there, but do they want you?

THE ANSWER IS NO..

maybe you have never been outside Nigeria to see what some of our naija boys are doing to embarass us..all in the name of going abroad

I visited my aunt in new York in 2011 and saw Nigerians with degrees in law as taxi drivers

we all want to travel abroad but we are stupid

if we just stay and think, thatnk God my father passed the opportunity to go abroad cuz he thinks he would make it here and did, his friends who left to Uk think my Father is making back deal with Government.. it just sad and pathetic

WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE THE MIND CAN ACHIEVE.. nigeria is not perfect, BUT I AM MAKING IT!

The last statement you made is true but look here Mr Man stop kidding yourself! First of all, Most of the people ruling you and many of their own children that are preparing to come and rule you did not even struggle for many years in this country before they got into power you would be surprised that most of them have dual citizenships in some of these countries where they'll eventually retire to (Dieziani, Okonjo Iweala and various ministers). Also many of the big industrialist employing your families in large quantities had their most valuable training in saner countries and came back to establish cos they can get cheap labour here, even their children abroad are still coming back to boss over you .

I speak to any young man or woman now, who wants a good future for himself to seek the best place in the world possible to develop themselves and gain valuable experience as much as possible after which you can return if you decide but if those other countries value your professional output more than your beloved country ever did, STAY THERE AND MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR LIFE!

For your information vladimiros, the famous MIKE ADENUGA left the country for several years to study towards gaining his business knowledge and while at it earned a living in the USA as a TAXI DRIVER for a period of time. Today he has provided a source of living for millions of Nigerians including those you know dealing in glo recharge cards.

if you think the small talent you have that brings you a few kobos is all that, why not go to the best places in the world to develop it. Wether you admit it or not, Naija has failed its younger generation, and there are many other countries that value outstanding educated Nigerians a lot more than our so beloved Naija does.

maurice1: What about UK

Unfortunately UK has somehow fallen from grace to grass in terms of immigration choice especially for Nigerians as they have continue to set up very difficult policies for migrants recently with the new Conservative govt. in power. UK seems to encourage students for their money but are quick to push them out after graduation and quite recently seem to be discouraging even visitors into their boarders with their £3000 bond issue.

However these stringent measures seem to be based on the fact that they are still in a way recovering from the very recent recession and unemployment rates there are just beginning to reduce. in other news UK is still a very good place to live, with a good percapital income rate as well. Id say you give them some time and maybe they'll may make it back on the list

twaintoy: Good morning good people. Please who knows canada very well or who lives in canada here? I have discovered after visiting the website that i am not qualified for the federal skilled jobs listed there. My question is, how can one get a job in canada from nigeria? And ofcourse, getting an employer that would sponsor the nigerian employee. I studied mass communication with a second class lower. Please, adequate response(s) would be appreciated. Thanks.

@twaintoy I have seen your post for quite sometime and was hoping someone else with more adequate links might be able to help you out with a more appropriate answer to your query, so unfortunate nothing has come up.

However, here is an encouragement, canada has many other immigration programmes specific to its different provinces as well as various skills shortages in those areas you might need to check on those .

One way of getting into Canada is through family sponsorship to specific Canadian provinces especially Manitoba, where you dont need a job to be nominated. You can settle and look for a job. But am suspecting you have no close family relative in Canada.

specifically for you now, have you considered getting into canada as a self employed professional based on your 'mass com' profession, you can come in as an independent reporter, writer or teacher. Please check this link out and take time with your fiancee to think about it and see if it can be your sure bet http://www.allpointsimmigration.com/self-employed/

Good luck

Big.game:

Nice thread Op. What are the requirements, for Migrating to Canada as a Student?

Sorry ive been off this thread for quite a bit, ill try to answer a few questions here

In order to apply for a Canadian student visa you must:

1. Provide the letter of acceptance to a school, or post-secondary institution that has accreditation in Canada,
2. Have proof of funds that will suffice for living expenses, tuition, and travel costs (to and from Canada) for the applicant and family members accompanying the applicant,
3. have no history of any criminal offences,
4. have good health and if required, be medically examined, and
5. have applied for Certificat dÕaccpectation du Quebec (CAQ) if the desired course, whether it be a short-term course or a course that surpasses six months, is situated in the province of Quebec.

Along with the above requirements, applicants must demonstrate that the objective of coming to Canada is to study and that they have the intentions of returning to their country of origin once the program they are in has been completed. In certain circumstances, along with the student visa, the acquisition of a temporary resident visa (TRV) may also be required to be eligible to temporarily reside in Canada.

NOTE: Prospective students need to prove their mastery of English language through the IELTS testing system

A Nigerian pastor earlier this year warned those in power, their families and associates that those whom they have neglected and impoverished while in power would be the ones that would eventually laugh at them and scamper for their wealth in a most desecrated way. if this occurrence is some sort of prophesy fulfilment we might be expecting similar cases in months and years to come.

In a sane nation where the people are cared for what is sacred would always remain sacred. . . . its just so sad in this case

yhomz093: I need your advice sir, I just gained admission to study psychology BT my dream is to become a medical doctor or any related discipline although I left science when I was in ss2 BT I can't erase the feeling of becoming a doctor, I feel it's too late coz I'll have to rewrite waec

Young man, you still have many years ahead of you and you need to know that the making of a dream has a lot of twist and turns, delays and so on but your eyes on the prize is what motivates and gets you there. Medicine is a very specialized and technical course and you need to have an established foundation for it, hence if you don't have the basic requirements at o-levels, it might be quite difficult to cope on the course later on. Am afraid you would have to return to WAEC for your phy-chem-bio and maths if you are really serious about it.

Congrats on your admission into psychology, do you know that the best doctors had some form of knowledge or training in medical psychology to effectively relate with their patients and help them to recovery? Hence no knowledge is really lost. However be sure this is where your strength lies rather than force yourself into a profession because of the perception you have about it or what others have forced you to desire or believe.

Good luck

Education / Re: What Are You Currently Studying And What Do You Hope To Be In Future? by swiftycool(m): 7:25am On Oct 01, 2013
its very emotional reading the posts of many of our young ones up in here, Your dreams give you the driving force to always keep focused and strive towards what you want to become. Amongst you guys I can see the next generation of surgeons who would save lives of many, Engineers who would invent stuff and make life easier, statisticians, accountants, lawyers etc, all set for the future of Africa! But here is some advice:

1. Along the line of your career you are going to get frustrated in many areas and you would be tempted to give up or settle for less, my advice is DONT! Keep focused on what you want to achieve and spend 70% of your time doing something towards preparing for that dream or at least related to it.

2. You would get some seemingly sensible but actually very stupid advise that may debar you from achieving your dream due to the lure of money, that's why today we have many of our best graduating engineers and doctors working as senior bank cashiers or lawyers and scientists working as actors depriving us of their expertise which they cannot get back to due to time lapse.

3. If you must venture into a vocational training, learn something most related to your dream profession, Many Architects, builders, engineers during university strikes had to go to building sites as labourers/apprentists for bricklayers, carpenters, iron benders etc, Some of the best sales managers during strikes got employed as marketers for various products in their hey days, As a chemical engineer, lab scientists, biochemists etc get temporary jobs in factories that deal with the manufacturing process, mechanical engineers go to a local mechanic workshop and learn etc
all these are valuable bespoke training areas for you.

4. Many of you are not hundred percent sure what you really want to be but have actually taken what fate seems to have thrown your way, check within while you are in your present career for talents you have or problems you can solve naturally a whole lot better than even people trained for it, now go through the internet and seek for companies looking for such talents and how various individuals have used the same talents to become outstanding impactors and millionaires there my friend is your real career direction you can still make a career change, focus on it and you would eventually blow!

5. Most of all if you are able to afford it, leave Nigeria to any other country that would not politicize education issues thereby destroying your future. You get to study in a welcoming environment and compete with the best of the bests and afterwards you can decide to come give your expertise to Nigeria, if not you might end up eventually as an overgrown yet inexperienced guinea-pig that the job market is desperately trying to avoid.
Good luck

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Unemployment- Non-graduates Are Cheating Graduates In Nigeria by swiftycool(m): 6:37pm On Sep 30, 2013
Hahahaha! This bros calling masons illiterates! am sure you have not really gone close to one. Many of these so called illiterates would comfortably read a building drawing calibrated in metres and off hand convert it to millimetres, feet or inches depending on what they are comfortable with and implement it scaled 1:1 on the ground. Now i can bet my balls you, the op would look like the illiterate if asked to do this same calculation that a bricklayer would easily do.

Also never mistake a bricklayer/mason's competency of laying blocks/brick with the expertise of a builder, engineer or Architect as the latter are actually trained to calculate the strength and structural stability and implementation of the most complex structures we can dream of. In many situations that mere artisans were called to handle a project, there are two things often involved, either the waste of materials or under use of same leading to building instability hence collapse or crazy project cost and time over runs.
There are many things an Engineer can do to proffer solutions to problematic building environments or failing buildings which any artisan does not have the slightest clue about. Now a building is lifetime and expensive investment, you decide whose hands you would put the technical development of this investment.

My fiance studied mass communication too and presently works in a bank. Please, what are our chances of migrating to canada? We filled a form with Jonathan King Limited today. Would love to know if this agent is real?

Well, your other option of immigrating as a worker is possibly securing a job in Canada and get your employer to sponsor your work permit application.

I cannot tell you honestly if Jonathan King agency that you signed up with is authentic or not as I dont know them, however i am aware that there are agencies who can help seek for jobs directly from Canadian employers even though the occupation might not be listed above, but based on the clients qualifications and experience they might be able to get an employer who is willing to employ the client and sponsor the work visa application. Jonathan King may be one of such

twaintoy: What about Canada? What are the requirements? Not as a student though.

Canada is a good choice and as earlier explained one of the best countries to migrate to, however to immigrate to Canada as an independent worker you would have to pass an eligibility points test and might have to apply through the Canadian Federal Skilled workers programme; This skilled immigration program is for people in a range of different occupations; If you have skills and experience in occupations listed on the Priority Occupation List under the Canadian skilled worker visa category you will not need sponsorship by an employer.
Here's the current list for 2013:

0211 Engineering managers
1112 Financial and investment analysts
2113 Geoscientists and oceanographers
2131 Civil engineers
2132 Mechanical engineers
2134 Chemical engineers
2143 Mining engineers
2144 Geological engineers
2145 Petroleum engineers
2146 Aerospace engineers
2147 Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)
2154 Land surveyors
2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers
2243 Industrial instrument technicians and mechanics
2263 Inspectors in public and environmental health and occupational health and safety
3141 Audiologists and speech-language pathologists
3142 Physiotherapists
3143 Occupational Therapists
3211 Medical laboratory technologists
3212 Medical laboratory technicians and pathologists' assistants
3214 Respiratory therapists, clinical perfusionists and cardiopulmonary technologists
3215 Medical radiation technologists
3216 Medical sonographers
3217 Cardiology technicians and electrophysiological diagnostic technologists, n.e.c. (not elsewhere classified)

The eligibility point test will also be done in addition in which if you can score 67 points and above you will qualify for independent immigration. the points are given based on the following areas
Age,
Education,
Work experience,
Language ability,
Arranged employment and
Adaptability
Note: Canada requires that you have a specific amount of money for your and any dependants sustenance depending on their numbers, more information can be gotten on the official Govt. website http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

fiscalcliff: Sweden no dey this list?

Well I was a bit surprised at this as well. With Sweden being an outstanding nation with a relatively high per capital income, however the unemployment rate may be one of the reasons for it not being listed. Sweden supposedly has an unemployment rate of between 5 to 8% on the average but a disturbing level of youth unemployment of around 24.2%! Meaning most youths below 25yrs are unemployed including graduates. hence young migrants might feel frustrated in that environment. This is just my thought though based of factual statistics of course.

kukus01: some people ranting here about naija not good.... you will be shocked that their parents were part of this decay in naija which started long since before now, .....now karma is playing out on their kids ......their kids are shouting fowl.....abeg if you wan die go die joor ......naija no good naija no good and u dont even want to make yourself useful. they cant wash toilet in naija yet they can clean soakaway in UK.

For your information oga, Most of the leaders involved in the rot of Naija are still presently in power or around the corridors of power and most of their kids are away in other countries laughing at those impoverished by their parents, so your karma logic to me doesn't hold much water.
I schooled in the UK after saving money for years. while working to pay my fees in the Uk i discovered especially within central and greater London that most of the students living lavish yet not working while studying in UK were children of present leaders or past Nigerian leaders involved in this rot, i even used to help clean the car and mow the lawn of one Nigerian legislators house for some extra cash while his kids, 4 of them played playstation and Xbox all day!

they cant wash toilet in naija yet they can clean soakaway in UK.
only a not too smart person would compare these two, in Naija you can't earn up to minimum wage cleaning toilets anywhere, plus you would be ridiculed by your own people as if u r being punished by God, whereas in UK you make up to £10 an hour as a standby attendant cleaning a night club toilet and working 8-10hrs overnight everyday. Now check this, for a year after tax and expenses you can go home with £23,000 which is equivalent of N5.8 million. Mind you, in Uk you are treated as every other employee, with holiday allowances, discount coupons on some hotels, supermarkets etc just as a toilet Cleaner! No wonder some quite senior Naija bankers are hapilly cleaning toilets today in UK. lol

As per cleaning soakaway, in UK clearing blocked sewers is a specialized job and if you are licenced to do it, you can charge as much £25 per hour! sebi you sabi maths? oya begin calculate........

adepojuot: How can I apply for Liechtenstein visa as tourist from Nigeria??

Liechtenstein is quite a small country with no boarder patrol set up of its own separating it from Switzerland, hence it depends on the latter for control of those entering its boarders. This therefore means for Nigerians looking to get into Liechtenstein, its better they apply for a Swizz visa through Switzerland embassy on which further details about your intention to visit Liechtenstein should be stated. Liechtenstein as a country does not require a visa for Nigerian tourists visiting not more than three months in the country.
So if you intend to visit Liechtenstein via Switzerland, these are the requirement for a Switzerland tourist visa application:

A Filled out and signed Switzerland tourist visa application form

B Original, signed Nigeria passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity.

C Passport-type photograph: 1

D Itinerary. Copy of round trip tickets or itinerary.

E Medical travel insurance (Schengen). with a minimum coverage of € 30,000 and validity for all Schengen states.

F Bank Statement. Copies of bank statements from the past 3 months.

G Employment Letter. Copy of a letter from your employer on business letterhead, with contact details, stating that a leave of absence has been granted, purpose and duration of the trip, and that you will be returning to your current job. If you are self-employed, include a copy of your business license and tax return. For students, please submit an official letter from your school indicating that you are in good standing and that you are registered for the upcoming semester. If you are retired please submit proof of your retirement fund.

H Hotel Reservations. Copy of the Hotel Reservations, OR

I Personal Invitation. If visiting friends or family, you must provide letter of invitation with the contact information of the host and visitor, purpose and duration of the visit, confirmation of accommodation including the address, signature and date. You will also need to provide proof of the host's status in Switzerland ie. copy of their Switzerland passport's information page, or, if they are not a citizen of Switzerland, copies of their Switzerland residence permit and their national passport's information pages.

@Op I understand your frustrations. It is very easy for someone to write you off as an unserious, lazy or undetermined person. I want everyone to know that until you are uncomfortable with your present position, the chance to rise and make progress would elude you forever. Inasmuch as it is patriotic to always honour, respect and strive to succeed within your country, I cannot blame anyone who opts out of this straits because as we can see, the leaders do not give a hoot about you and the environment is not as friendly as we would have desired.

Today many youths are encouraged to learn trades, pick up carpentry, bricklaying, welding, farming etc as an option if you cannot get a job in you chosen feild or if your career direction seems to be hindered. inasmuch as this looks like a good idea, I have discovered many of our brightest and best brains fall out of what they were meant to be, thereby depriving the world of their inherent career talents in favour of looking for another means of sustenance.

Today, some of the would have been excellent surgeons who probably would have made a break through in their field ended up as shitty actors, just for the money, the Engineers who might have made Nigeria's 'real' first car or discovered a cheaper option to fuel might today be a barely above board trader just for the money, while the outspoken lawyer who would have solved problems for many ended up permanently as a not too good primary school teacher just to earn a living

Each of us had dream of a glorious career in life and goals to achieve them and if in a country like Naija through ASUU strikes, employment corruption, lack of connections, inadequate infrastructure, unfriendly environments etc forces you out of achieving that real dream and destiny you were created for hence having u end up as one doing anything just for money, my friend, u have failed!
My advice strive as much as possible but let it be towards that area of your dream and be sure to get back on track any time you fall out, my best advice to any Young promising graduate without opportunities for years to is leave this country if you can, there are many more countries that value and care for hard-working, focused and determined Nigerians more than its own bunch of useless leaders!

Oladecoolz: As a student what are d requirements?


For application of a students' residence permit or student visa in Norway the student has to submit the following documents:

1. An application form for student residence with a passport photograph.
2. A copy of passport.
3. Documentation of admission to an approved educational institution with the applicant’s name, institution’s name and course and duration of the program. (The course/programme must be full-time and approved for financial support from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund. This also applies for students who have financing from other sources and do not intend to seek support from the Loan Fund.)
4. A plan of study. This gives details of the study program.
5. Documentation of housing. (Approved documentation includes a lease copy for a house, an apartment or a room issued by a private person or company. Apartments/rooms provided by the institution's own Student Housing organisation must also be documented with a lease copy.
6. Documentation of subsistence, i.e documents to prove you have the financial muscle to cater for yourself during studies this could be a
loan from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund or your own private fund deposits in a Norwegian bank.


NOTE: A student residence permit to Norway is granted under the precondition that the student will return to his/her country of legal permanent residence upon completion of the studies, however students after completion of their courses can proceed to apply for a job seekers visa if they are able to meet its conditions as explained in the previous post.

Working permit for students
A student residence permit (VISA)does not confer the right to take employment in Norway. However, students may apply for part-time work permit and/or a permit to work during vacations when employment would not interfere with their study progress. Full-time employment for a restricted period of time may also be applied for.

kenjudy: What are d requirements for migrating to norway not as student?

You can be granted a residence permit as a jobseeker if you are a skilled worker and you are a resident from the country where visa is a requirement to enter Norway like Nigeria.

To migrate to Norway not as a student is possible through The Skilled job seeker visa.
The Skilled Jobseeker visa is issued for a period of 6 months as a residence permit and this allows a foreign skilled worker to search for jobs during his stay in Norway.
Religious workers/Teachers and ethnic cooks are not eligible for a Jobseeker visa considering the competence requirements are more stringent.

As a skilled job worker you must possess relevant qualifications to the nominated occupation which covers Vocational training, Craft certificates, University Qualifications or Special qualifications equivalent to the level of Norwegian standards.

You must have sufficient funds to live in Norway for the intended stay. This currently corresponds to NOK 103,950 for six months which is approximately NGN2,821,550.

The Jobseekers who are successful in securing a job can apply for a skilled worker residence permit with the sponsorship from a local employer.
The employer can lodge the skilled worker residence permit for the applicant or this can be directly filed by the applicant in the closest Embassy or consulate office in the country where he/she has stayed for the last 6 months.
This permit also forms to Permanent residency in Norway after completing 3 years of residence.

Here's some interesting news of the best places to migrate to for the best living standards. if you meet the requirements. There are a whole lot more beautiful places in the world but these have been selected based on the following CRITERIA– 1. Quality of Living, 2. Safety,3. Employment Rate and Average daily wages 4. Language Spoken

Other opinions are welcome wink

10. U.S.A. – U.S.A is the world’s most powerful country. The Whole world do business on $US. That is a symbol of stability.There are people from different communities from all over the world here which provides safety. US have a strong social security system and a
Per capita income of about $45,000
However, the unemployment rate is 8.9% ,which is quite huge. Also US has tough rules for migrants, especially now that visa lottery entrance for Nigerians have been stopped. cry



9. NEWZEALAND – New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean. Its population is just above 40 million and density per km. Is 20. Most of the people speak English. Main occupation is agriculture, which constitutes 28% of export . Standard of living in Newzealand is very high. Its an easy country to migrate if your professional skills are required. Low IELTS bands are required.

8. NETHERLANDS – Netherlands, which also includes most of present-day Belgium, Luxembourg, and some land of France and Germany is one of the best countries to migrate to.The weather is great here, average temperature in the summer is 10 degree Celsius and in winters which comes in January it goes as low as 0.

Ngwakwe: Why call Kaduna Nzeogwo Igbo when you should know he is not from South East according to Yoruba and Hausa gospels.

He has now suddenly become Igbo because he led a negative example.

Doyakanu and Others who always tell us that two wrongs don't make a right have changed their gospel by referencing Kaduna Nzeogwu to exonerate Buhari the arch Murderer and a Coupist.


CHukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was very much an Igbo man, a fearless and intelligent Soldier he was, he had a good mission but went about achieving it the wrong way.
DON'T deny ur Igbo brother because of what he might have done, there are still other good and great things he did, find out from Tai Sholarin's write ups about him

I read through all the posts on this thread and I realized that despite all the efforts of the proponent it is just another epic fail like most other threads based on tribal sentiments and bigotry statements by the Gej 40 laptop crew.

We all have our primary loyalties but in the wake of a new era most of us have learnt to put sentiments aside, Give me an Igbo, Yoruba, Akwa Ibom, hausa, Ijaw, Fulani or whatever Man who is upright, fearless, not corrupt, very disciplined and having a real passion 4 Nigeria in spite of any other flaw he might have, ill canvass and vote 4 him.

Till date only Buhari seems to fit this image, those who are afraid of him are those who are scared of losing ill gotten wealth and positions they got thanks to the crooked, corrupt, selfish, weak or clueless past leaders that have held and R still holding Nigeria to ransoms, cos HE might PROBE them, recover the loot and make it difficult for corruption, indiscipline and injustice to thrive! @ op the end 4 u and ur ilk is near go and look 4 work!

Religion / Re: Giving Your Wedding Night To God As A First Fruit Of Marriage? - No Intimacy by swiftycool(m): 4:00pm On May 05, 2013
Yvete: Just curious to know if anyone has done this?

The idea is, just as you offer your first fruit of labor to God, likewise it is encouraged, not mandatory to offer your wedding night as a first fruit of marriage. Basically, a newly wedded couple should abstain from intimacy on their wedding night and instead spend the night singing praises, and giving thanks in prayer. grin grin

My pastors wife encouraged this "oath" or "offering" at pre-marital class. Although, some guys were straight up honest, " NO!". They weren't smiling. smiley I think its a good way to start off married life (to pray against mis-fortunes, to pray for unborn children, ...etc). "Bring the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God" (Ex. 23:19). Has anyone ever pledged to do this?

Oh ok I get it, the fruits of marriage is sex shocked , smh sometimes u spirikoko guys go too far like there isn't a whole day dedicated to wedding thanksgiving and prayers!
