So I wrote my GRE Today,
For a little back story, I just graduated a little over three months ago, and got a job immediately as a software engineer, at a fast moving company, with periodic crazy deadlines. So, I had to squeeze in time during mornings at nights to prepare, and learn as much vocabulary as I could.
Fast forward to test Day, I arrived at Dragnet prometric 2 hours before the test, did a quick review, and was first on the line. Got the quant section first, let's just say, it was deadlier than I thought, too many geometry problems, and i loathe euclidean circle geometry a lot. I moved on to the verbal; few mistakes here and there, but I just basically free styled.
At the end of the test, I was assured that I had done very terribly, and was superbly afraid to click "report scores". Then I clicked
QUANTITATIVE - 163
VERBAL - 161
TOTAL - 324
I feel i did terrible in the quant, as i focused too much on the verbal during prep, but I hope to never write GRE ever again, I accept my 324 "laidat".

This one is one chance o. She has to come back and pay groom price on your head before you can get PR now. I kid

In my opinion you have three options
- if you guys were to get married now, she can apply to add you to her application. A number of people have done it, some have gotten pr, others are still in the process

- However, since the application is already in progress, and a wedding is not possible for now, you may have to wait until you're legally married then she can sponsor your own application once hers is complete.

- Or you can take steps to start your own pr process from here

These are the options I can think about now, maybe more experienced peeps can weigh in

Growing up, I used to think I was asexual. I didn't even know that there was something called erection until I got to SS2; perhaps I didn't pay mind to that before then. I saw some of my classmates' d**ks (not uncommon for teenagers to do), and I never gave a second glimpse at those dicks. I just wasn't interested in anybody, irrespective of their gender and/or gender identity.

I saw my first 'blue film' after secondary school with a neighbor who was almost my age mate. I remember watching this straight porn, and with excitement, I told him how I just wanna f**k someone. That I don't care whether it's with a he or she. He laughed it off, and I did too. The truth is, I didn't even understand what I meant by that statement at that moment.

Like I said earlier, there might have been some events that have conditioned my mind to only fall in love with guys, but that event, I can't think of any. Before I was approached by guys, I knew the feeling for same-sex was hiding somewhere, but I wasn't perturbed by it. I felt it was a phase that I'd get over real soon.

The only event I can think of, but wouldn't wanna tag as what led to my 'predicament' is the conversation I had with my dad. At a very early age, my father would flog me for coming second, provided a lady came first in class. My father didn't mind if 100 boys led me in class, but he was always concerned if just a single lady leads me. I remember hating on the girl who was always coming first in class (I was just about 8 years old then). And as such, it was difficult for me to just like any other girls at that point in my life.

Right now, virtually all my friends are ladies, and I really do like them, but I sometimes feel irritated if they do some stuff around me. But if a guy did the same, I'd just laugh it off without a modicum of ire.

Philomathhh:
PS:- I wouldn't say I was born gay, neither would I say I was influenced/converted. Perhaps, I had some events that made me have sexual penchant towards guys that I can't remember. But all I know is that I have been gay ever since I knew what sex was. And also note, the porn videos I first sighted were straight. So don't be too quick to judge me.

Confirmed scientific theories are never wrong since they are based on observations, they may only be upgraded or superceded by a better one in the event of new observations.

Martinez39:
Okay.


If you read my posts, you would know that I am talking about religious gods when I say that there is no god. My observations has led me to conclude that mankind is own it's own to solve it's problem and there is no help coming from anywhere.


If you mean near death experiences, check out one of my recent topics about NDEs under the moniker Martinez19.



When talked about abilities, I never meant physical abilities. Of course there are variations amongst us. I was talking about spiritual abilities. No one has spiritual abilities. Everyone is just human, nothing special. What is spiritually impossible for me is spiritually impossible for everyone.

Lol. What you call mysteries are natural processes that we haven't figured out yet. Confirmed scientific theories are never wrong since they are based on observations, they may only be upgraded or superceded by a better one in the event of new observations. Newton's law of gravity was superceded by General Relativity. Newton's law wasn't wrong but it had a small range of validity which was expanded by Einstein's theory.

Amakavula:
My answer is going to be long , let me book space..

I am a fencist when it comes to God. Intelligent arguement would suggest God doesn't exist, but we all know the world isn't intelligent or logical.

On one part, believing there isn't a God is quite intelligent, but believing there isn't isn't fulfilling either. What we are left with without a believe in a great force is a void of hopeless and emptiness ; that our lives offer no purpose ( my supervisor from Japan mentioned how Japan is trying to get people more religious to avoid suicides )

I always likened the God argument to a person lost at Sea. There is a 10% chance people are coming to find you, or there is a 90% chance nobody is coming. But I would take 10% all the time due to the hope and believe it inspires. Which could determine how best I thrive for a better life.

Hopelessness isn't cool, Whether God exist or not could be debated back and forth with no conclusion, but Believe brings you assurance of a better future.

Compare this two scenerio: The Doctor says you got Cancer and there isn't a cure and you will die , and nothing can be done.

Or after going back Doctor says he made an error with the Cancer type , that you still got Cancer but people survive it 10% of the time.

The change in emotion in that person could be the difference between life or death. God is that 10%.


On life and meaning, we find our own meaning through our Passions. There is no collective purpose just individual things. I want to be a writer ( script Writer ) to inspire and educated people, that is my purpose and I hope to find fulfilment there.

Lastly there isn't a good thing about pessimism. it makes you depressed, achieve little and look at things in gloom. Cheer up love.

1) THERE IS NO GOD AND YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN :

2) THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE :

14) EVERYTHING IS PHYSICAL, NOTHING IS SPIRITUAL :

No human being is spiritually endowed with special anointing, supernatural knowledge, spiritual gifts or any of those nonsenses. No one is special and can't do what you can't spiritually. Throw spiritual nonsenses away

Clapbackdon:
As expected, the same fate that befell GEJ the legendary buffoon will surely befall buhari .

After much noise , crowd pulling and shouting everywhere how he deserves as second term , after everyone collected money they did the needful and voted that ignoramus out

Buhari will weep on camera for Nigeria that day

Inec will rig but it will still not be enough just like it happened to GEJ , they will steal votes and import voters from Niger republic as usual but still it won't help

Buhari is going home. Though we know atiku is a thief and a dolt but at this point anyone is far better than buhari

Why vote Atiku when we know he is a thief you ask?

An educated intelligent thief will not steal everything in the vault knowing he needs to work with some funds, he won't allow unwarranted looting ... He can read documents before signing , he won't have floated the naira without a thriving local industry to buffer the naira against the dollar.

He won't have allowed thieves like Gaduje, Minna and co still remain in his government.

He won't allow religious killings

He will know what it means to fund the military. He won't put his kids on the board of the nnpc displaying such audacity.
He won't tell us we must give up land for cattle grazing . He won't increase fuel while telling us lies he removed subsidy
He won't is he created thousands of rice farmers yet Nigeria is the second largest importer of rice and United Nations has predicted we would be number one importer of rice by end of this year

Buhari Is a waste of space

Your people are still selling themselves in Libya and other places. It’s genetic.

musicwriter:
Whoever wrote this have his/her brain damaged. Slavery happened by coercion, kidnapping, fraud, war. If your ancestors participated in it that was because he was coerced to do what he didn't like in order to save his kingdom from invasion or to save his business. Our kings were given such conditions- to choose between their lives or be part of slavery. Of course, many chose to die fighting against it. Queen Nzinga of Namibia comes to mind. This leader fought the Portuguese to standstill and refused to surrender her domain to slavery. It was only after her defeat that they had their way.

Anybody who knows this fellow should ask him/her; how many slaves did your ancestor sell before the arrival of the Europeans? To whom?

Anybody interested should see the true history of slavery and slave acquisition in Africa http://www.africason.com/2016/03/the-true-history-of-slavery-and-slave.html

Somehow though they still look more capable than these ones:

hadinma:
I resolved the verification issue by faxing a copy of the email to WES. It was acknowledged in less than 24 hours.

Enasdan:
my own issue hasn't be resolved, l'm still contacting my issuing institution to contact WES, but WES is not responding

theoldpretender:
We paid high prices for GSM back in the day, and they took our money and used it to expand and improve their facilities and eventually bring down prices.

Also, why don't you hold your leaders accountable? Or vote for leaders you can hold accountable?

Where do you get the idea I supported bad leadership?

theoldpretender:
Yes, we know. We can all recite this poem off head.

But then,you Nigerians go and vote for a party that messed us up for 16 years....or the ruling party that has no idea to bring in the needed change to make things better.

And bills? You people insist on paying less than $5 for light monthly...and you expect 24 hours light...when you should be paying 5 times that? And you expect DISCOS and GENCOS to suddenly have the cash to be able to pay for gas?

You want good universites...and you insist on paying N50000 fees for N1 million naira education?

You insist on paying N97 for fuel that should at least cost N250 per liter...and you wonder why there are scarcity (and you blame govrement...for the worng reasons).

You know that there is a lot of infrastructure in a lot of countries...because people pay heavily in taxes and bills. Not the cheap thing we pay for in Nigeria.

Oil money cannot feed all of us. Neither can restructuring...because the prices of agric and other commodities rise and fall like oilprice[b].We need to invest in industrial development,and making things that the world needs...not in importing stuff and wasting our money on useless subsides...that prevent job creation, and leave millions unemployed.[/b]

theoldpretender:
So,we call on the Chinese government to fix the airport...and it looks beautiful..

then what?

The problem I have with Nigerians is that they want people to do things for them. Nigerians won't vote for sensible people to run things. They insist on paying small taxes, or N20 for something that costs N20000 naira. They somehow think that the funds for maintenance and construction will come from the sky...and so on.

The truth is, if we want beautiful airports in all our cities, we have to be prepared to vote for the right kind of people..not bring back a party that messed us up for 16 years (and pretended to fix the Port Harcourt airport...) or bring back an elderly general that really needs to be retired...or even vote for 'the young men and women'...but people who are prepared to work.

And we must be ready to pay proper taxes. And pay proper bills.Yes, it would be expensive. Yes, what have they done with the money they spent before? But you cannot buy a house for N200million, and be prepared to only spend N50000 annually for maintenance. High quality means high maintenance costs.
