What's the point of being a federation if states can't work on what is in their region/state. It's already a known erosion prone area. C'mon this is 2023 construction has solutions for this.

Gajagojo: I have a big problem with this If this is your real identity
It is either you are telling us a scam story or you have no respect for your family because with this you are also revealing your brothers identity And somehow this can get back to your brother The solution is not begging for money because that money will finish but to sit down with your brother and talk. Or find a job The country is hard for everyone including your brother
This idea that your brother is doing you bad is very wrong
I am distrustful of this your yarn. If you want to ask for money do so direct no dey follow corner Exactly like what's all this for. When he's done collecting cash now...he won't give the same brother food despite the fact that he's living rent free. The earlier ppl realize others don't owe them anything the more grateful you'll be for what you get and pay it forward to both kin and strangers |

Mindlog: Dropping something for younger ones according to your capacity, is not entitlement mentality. If Nigerian police pick any of them up, no be the other one go run around abi is their parents with them in the city?
Reality is that time flies so fast, 5 years from now the stupidity of this moments will look so infantile.
What really touched me is this "Before I would come back, he would cook noodles and finish it, washed the pot and everything and keep them clean as though nothing happened. Sometimes he eat outside and come back home and ignore me".......your own blood, your younger sibling goes to bed hungry after trekking back from where he is learning a skill, while you have eaten.....Schizoid Personality Disorder no pass this one o. Wow ...so how come his parents don't get this guilt either or it's suddenly his brothers fault because he's living with him now. Maybe his parents should have asked the brother whether he could afford to house and feed him before they sent their own child to their other child to cater for. . The guy should use the cash he uses to browse on NL to eat not come here and whinge about his family |

Homeschooling isn't new, it's decades old and it's usually premised on your environment. Reasons typically are Schools are far or just not suitable for your children Parents are struggling handling the school runs for multiple kids One or both parents ah e non traditional jobs eg. a lot of travel, move around a lot, work remote or intermittently
People homeschool from preschool to high/sec school. Others get kids involved with sports clubs and other outdoor sports so they get to socialise with other kids.
Bare in mind that typically homeschool hours are less than regular school hours so it might not be more than 4 hours a day.
I remember a wife shared that she chose homeschool because her husband worked as part of the crew of basketball team so he travelled a lot. By homeschooling she was able to adjust kids school work so that each child alternatively got to travel with their father on his trips. It helped their family and kids bonded with their Dad better.
I also know those who homeschooled in Nigeria because local schools weren't what they wanted.
Schools are great places of learning But they can also be distractions and hot beds for bullying, vices and environmental factors out of your control |

Melanin07: Other emails
We will also request the issuance of your pre-employee / advanced-applicant number. If you need pre-financing (before you even started receiving monthly salaries), then this number is a very useful thing. We will explain:
The employer usually bears the transport and accommodation costs for up to 6 or 12 months. If you acquire a pre-employee/employee number you can apply and get a loan (up to 30,000 euros) with a low-interest rate, the usual interest rate in Europe is about 1.5%. There are organizations that would fund you if you have a pre-employee/employee number issued ( A1 Credits, SBDB Loans, etc.).
This way you will have the funds before you go abroad. You will repay the loan later - when you start receiving salaries.
NOTE: You will only receive a pre-employee / advanced-applicant number if you receive a Written Invitation. This will become clear very soon. So check your mail regularly for the next few days. If you receive a Written Invitation, please fill out the form and then contact your account manager. If you are rejected, you can apply again no earlier than a month and a half after the refusal. Put their full address in a search and see if that address even exists. Secondly any mention of EU is a sign they are not legitimate. UK left the EU over 7 yrs ago. They cannot be based in the UK and claim they are EU recruiting company for a UK job Lastly UK firm will not provide accommodation for you. In the rare case that any company provides accommodation it is because you work in the same company in your home country and they doing intracompany transfer to another country. Even with that it is for a short while and pay from your salary after |

Viruses: I have a few questions, if you have an answer to any please provide:
* can I go to a private gynaecologist without NHS referral? * what is the average cost for a private gynaecologist? * if I do private health insurance, will they fund visits to private gynae? * the wait time for NHS gynae is quite long (around one and half year) am I better off going to Nigeria or another EU country? * if you have used a private gynae, please refer with any information that may be useful.
Thanks Do private insurance..check what the plan covers. Or go to Nigeria but you'd need to have sufficient leave days if there are tests or procedures that need to be done. |

This way you sponsoring yourself covers flight costs plus any other vacation expenses. Business account statements and business docs Your bank statements to prove your personal finances Then your sisters bank statement Look through your bank statements that you want to provide and note any influx or outflow you have to explain in cover letter.

You have a way of reaching her since you pay your children's bills.
Next time you reach out tell her that she's breaching court order by not giving you access to them. Remind her that court grants you full custody of them when they are seven years. Tell her you cannot continue to pay bills for children you have not physically seen. Stop paying bills, ignore blackmail guilt tripping and threats and put your foot down. |

Me - I am researcher and I work with xxxx which is a mental health based organisation that focuses on giving a voice to the mentally challenged...
My duties include investigating mental health cases and...
She interrupted me,
VO. How much do you earn?
Me - I earn 120k/month at ****, I also earn an additional average of 100k from freelance academic and content writing jobs.
She nodded.
VO - "That means you earn 220k in a month."
Me - Then I elaborated, "I earn 120 k per month from **** which is my full time job and I get an average of 100 k from freelance content and academic writing jobs monthly.
VO - That's why I said you get a total of 220k in a month.
Me - yes.
VO - Do you have kids yet?
Me - No, we don't.
VO - Have you ever been to any country outside Nigeria?
Me - No.
VO - How long do you plan to spend in the US.
Me - I plan to spend my 4 week work leave in the US to spend time with my husband and give him physical and emotional support. This period also coincides with the Thanksgiving break and it will afford us the opportunity to spend quality time together before I resume back to work and also before I...
She cuts in again,
VO - okay okay.
Then she paused for long and typed on the system.
VO - "I'm sorry you are not qualified and gave me the blue paper."
Please I will appreciate if anyone can help me figure out where I went wrong... How long does your husband have left for his course? Months or more than a year Ask him if he was asked if you were planning to join him at some point. Then I'd say you need to show you can fend for yourself. F2 are not permitted to work in the US. So just mentioning your salary is not enough. Speak to your savings and your ability to afford the trip |
