...And here I thought I was the only one that didn't bother going past the first 2 paragraphs. undecided

Summary should be taught in schools. People think writing unnecessary verbose epistles lends credence to what they are passing across, when at the end of the day only few will spare valuable time to read such.
cheesy But this is why people say that if you want to hide anything from an African, hide it in a book because we don't read. When thieves came to my house in my absence, the only place they didn't ransack was my book shelf, meanwhile that's where I usually keep my laptop and money when going out grin

Now, I have to speak on this one.

My grandma told me in the 50s and 60s Yorubas had confidence and trust in Calabar people than they did Ibos. This is not ethnic bashing, this is the truth.

Back then in the South Yoruba knew of only themselves, the Ishekiris, Binis and Isobos. They knew of Ijo as water people. We did not know any other group and classified everyone else as either omo Ibo or Kalaba.

We also knew back then that omo Ibo are the menial workers and low wage labourers in society. So jobs like porters (pushing wheel barrow, carrying load on head and ferrying goods) and anything requiring physical work in the field omo Ibo is one to do it. Their women work as maids and cleaners in the house. Kalaba women were hired as cooks and nannies because they were very good with caring and nursing.

From what Im told this was the practice with colonials. When omo Ibo arrived in Lagos he would be recruited into one of these positions reserved for their ethnic group.

Affluent Yorubas also used omoIbo as laborer in his house and yards. This was the practice in VI, Ikoyi, Apapa, Yaba.

As demand for laborer increased more Ibos poured in from East. Yorubas began noticing a trend. The Ibo gardners and yard laborer were offering their sisters for hire as cook and nannies for very low price and cutting the Kalaba girls out of market. Nobody knew it was an act.

My grandma said omo Ibo will plant a maid in your house for rwconnaisance to know what kind of valuables you have and where they were kept. Then one day when you come home you cant find your gardener, your nanny, your cook...they all have dissapeared. Along with them your valuables are also gone! Reports from Yaba, Apapa, Ikoyi were fitting same pattern. So Yoruba people kicked Ibos out of domestic service because they were not trustworthy with your valuables or children. This is how Yoruba trusted and till today have trust and confidence in a Calabar person.

If an indigene of Cross River or Akwa Ibom were to show up as a Presidential candidate you will see how Yoruba would rally behind him and support.

So Im not surprised at this new event and trend with omo Ibo planting house helps to use for reconn and rob people. Its their way, its their old practice reawakened.
This long essay just to spill trash. Next!

Damn I feel so sad for you. One thing I've learnt in this life is to never lend someone money that I can't afford to lose. Its my watchword now, even if it is #5000 as long as at that moment I can't afford to lose it, I won't lend it out.

Also I'm suspecting that your friend. Are you sure he has not sold or is planning to sell your car and keep the money all for himself? As for those laughing at you forget them, they can only laugh for so long. Just don't give up and things will definitely turn around for you.

What I don't understand is;

How can a lady love a guy so much to the extent he cheats on her more than once and she keeps forgiving him?

I mean we all know cheating is never a mistake but a choice. So why did she keep loving him despite the fact he was a village dog? (fücking around).

If tables were turned and Annie was the one who had another man's child, I am 100,000% sure 2face will dump her and call her a bìtch. So why did she keep holding on to him all that time with her claws?

CIMA or CIPM?

I have B.sc in microbiology. No knowledge in accounting either. So you are saying I have better chance with CIMA than BCS (since I have no prior knowledge in both)
.
Modified :CIMA is 2years! Am I right?

It means I will be close to 32yrs by the time I finish, which means 15points minus any additional point I will be gaining from CIMA. Please let me know if my analysis is correct before I take any step
No, CIMA is according to your own schedule, it is CIPM that is two years. CIMA depends on how fast you are. Some people have finished it in one month. But the result for BCS is going to be ready by December, even though the exam will be written in September and by then you'd have lost five points.

I will advise you to write IELTS as soon as possible and aim for band 10, not 9. Then write CIMA instead of BCS. Who knows, you might even get provincial nomination.

Please I need a head start as I just got a grip to start this process. Please can someone respond to these questions:

1. Do I need to do WES and IELTS before starting any of the process?

2. Do I need to pay WES for each of my credential to be evaluated. For instance, I have HND Computer Science, Bsc from a University in UK , PMP and Microsoft Certifications. I am a Software Developer.

3. I am over 40 but if I want to boost my score via pronvincial nomination, what do I have to do? Do I apply to each of the provinces as the first step or after 1 and 2 stated above, I can now commence.

I hope someone will pick this up to be addressed. Thank you.
1. Yes, you need to. I'll suggest you start with the WES evaluation first and while that is ongoing, prepare for IELTS.

2. No, you don't need to pay for each certificate that is going to be evaluated. You'll pay 200CAD for all, i.e, if you're evaluating one certificate it's 200CAD, if it's three certificates it is still 200CAD.

3. Sorry, I don't know anything about provincial nomination.

Let's stop this mediocrity.
Fraud is not nigerias problem.
I repeat fraud is not nigerias problem.
The country has failed it self.

Nigeria is not even up to top 7 in countries that engage in fraud. Even the americans defrauds their people more than anywhere with credit card frauds.
Then you mention Uk with bank frauds.
Russia with evil hackings.
Several countries that have severe dent on their image with fraud.

But nigeria which is just 5 percent of the fraud industry is what people make noise about.

Face the bigger problems.
When a master makes mistakes he blames his tools. Look at the bigger picture of nigeria , not microscopic problems .

Other countries have narcotic problems , terrorism ish e.t.c but they don't blame it for their failure in other sectors .


You'd be surprised most foreigners don't even know this country exists.
Na una they over hype unaself .
This is how we will continue deceiving ourselves that fraud is not a big problem in Nigeria. I was playing a game, Virtual Families, when one of the people in the game got a mail from a Nigerian chief that he should send some amount of money to claim money that has been left to him, in game, game oo. That was when I knew that Nigeria was finished. I'm not even talking about the references I have seen in Family Guy and various novels I have read and you're here saying na we dey over hype ourselves

Even when they have outed as a scam by the website that posted the job vacancy, someone is still dropping his phone number for another person to call him, all because that person supposedly got a job through one of such companies. He'll then cry foul when he has been scammed.

CultureRe: As A Nigerian-american, I Would Like Insight On Which Language To Learn by Vincad: 2:08pm On Apr 08, 2019
@uchefefe. Hi, I kind of understand what you going through. Even though I have lived in Nigeria all my life, I am not fluent in Igbo. Unlike your case I had a willing father but I was an unwilling student. I only just realised the importance of knowing how to speak my language. Luckily for me, my grandma lives with me and this has helped my Igbo a lot. I suggest you get yourself some Igbo speaking friends and tell them to communicate with you in Igbo. It may seem difficult but you'll be surprised that there are many around you. I know some people from my village that were born and bred in the US but speak fluent Igbo and they definitely won't be the only ones.
One thing I've noticed with Igbo folk is that once they realise that you can't speak Igbo, they won't speak speak the language to you. You have to tell them that you want them to speak the language to you and even then sometimes they will still revert to English. I wish you good luck in learning the language.

So your friend just listens to her husband's friends and on the strength of their balderdash, she suspends her wedding and folds her hands? Couldn't do her own research? Couldn't type 'can I get a job in Canada?' on google? She's 'ready' to do the PR with her fiance and yet did not realize that the difference between POF for one and for two is not enough to tell one person to sit it out and wait for 3 years.
It's either her fiance is playing her for a fool or they are both lipsrsealed
