Book of revelation...

Haters are just chasing after shadows..

Tinubu will not contest. He'll join other well-meaning Nigerians to back Professor Osinbajo..

Tinubu is like Moses.. He's done well. He's sacrificed a lot for Nigeria, like Moses.. But he's not the one to lead us into the promised land. Not because he struck (Aso) Rock twice, like moses, but because he's already too old and deserves some rest - we don't want our daddy to "break down." He's sacrificed so much for us already..

God bless President Buhari.
God bless Professor Osinbajo.
God bless BAT.
God bless Nigerians.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

like what please did he sacrifice?

Hello guys pls I will like some advice from mature minds here, there's this girl am dating she's very pretty, sexy and hard working, she loves me so much that each day that she didn't hear my voice it will seems to her as if the world is coming to an end

The problem is I didn't love her equally the same way she loves me, initially I only wanted her for sex but she's getting too attached to me, and there's one certain man of God that warmed me to dump the girl am dating, which is her, my problem is how am I going to let her go without actually hurting her feelings cuz I know quite alright that she might hurt herself if I end the relationship between us. She's dangerously in love with me and I fear it will end in tears for her.

Stop dicking her! I repeat You are dicking with too many styles, stop it. Start feigning excuses and busy bla bla

Palema007:
Now who wouldn't pay attention to this mail... Look at the message? Very creative, nice and engaging. Not the usual " how are you? " "what are you putting on"? Questions some guys pass across. Lol without them missing "the when will you visit" or "lets meet up" command.


Happy married life to them

just like you guys too format: my subscription just finished, my house rent is expiring, I have half, can you help me with half? send me card, I'm hungry, Today's my birthday, I need to make my hair etc

Hi all,

I come bearing great news!

After reading @ayandee French story I decided to double my efforts and achieve what she achieved.

I passed TEF in under a year after starting from scratch. (Test Centre: AF Manchester, UK). With the scores & my IELTS results, I have 500 CRS points and I'm so happy because I had 449 points before.

I was attending Alliance Française and institut Français UK but I stopped because they were too slow and charging a huge amount. Then I found my French tutor from here, he is https://www.tobidam.com and I highly recommend him. He helped me get here much quicker than I ever expected.
I used an app to track my progress and this is almost 500 hours of combined study. It's possible!

Thank God and thanks to everyone here for their tips and guidance.

Bonne chance !

Wow. Congrats. Just seeing this after a long time here. You're now a fellow alumnus. I think I am now justified. Results speak for themselves. No time to argue with naysayers. On bouge !

She wants to blow without following due process

That's an innovative decision

gbens2000:
Pls is cibn( chartered institute of bankers in Nigeria certificate) allowed for a second degree?

I have not heard much about it. Mail Wes or Search online if someone has used it. I was reticent in even answering your question here, however everybody can't be the same. I will keep helping with as much info as I can since I benefited alot from here too.

Goodnigga:
Going better Egbon. I have started hitting targets consistently, I believe soon, Monsieur will give a go ahead to go and write. I can't wait.

Du courage ! Anytime he tells you, is the time. That's the time. I passed through the same process. If you get tired/discouraged or think I can continue myself, let me just continue on my own and go and write, you may be surprised at what you will see. But I'm 100% sure , with your dedication and by following instructions, you'll come out in flying colours.

Peace!!!

Sharonte:
Merci Monsieur
I contacted tobidam, but their fees is huge oooo.

Hmm, at this point. I don't know what to say. You may contact any other standard international online school, that understands Africans peculiarity, but I guess their fee may be huger. But feel free to try.

Peace!!

Sharonte:
boss, worldtaker pls I am a neophyte in this TEF journey, kindly put me through, your mentorship is key having seen people sharing your progress. God bless.

A lot of people have emailed me. Apologies if I have not been able to reply every body. Let me just give a generic and elaborate answer that can answer @ Sharonte and as many others.

Learning French, is MAJORLY aimed at boosting your CRS scores. If You don't have a Master's/second degree/ 2 or more certificates, no sibling points or to aggravate things you are above 30 and you wanna get PR on time, you CAN'T escape learning French. Even with Masters, if you're above 30, you will still need French. Why? French can give the highest points so ever. If you have B2(CLB7) throughout, you have 42pts, if you max out, you have 54pts. You can also be in between.
So, the journey is simple and complex. Simple, in the sense that, learn French and pass TEF. However, it's complex that it ain't that simple. You will need to know French thoroughly in the the competence levels: LRSW. Secondly, you must understand the system/techniques of passing TEF. You can know French and still not meet up with the required scores.Therefore, you need to get a school either online or offline depending on your choice. I went to an online school and I am proud of the school. I am an alumni of TOBIDAM. Meeting the required scores is not the greatest joy. My greatest joy is that in Canada, I can confidently use it anyhow and any where.
So, you start by learning French, remember to expedite your time, not everyone that knows French can impart French and not every French teacher understand the TEF system. A French teacher/ francophone that doesn't understand the TEF system can still fall short of CLB7 in each module. So, get a good French school and the rest will fall in line. Read harder than hard. You will get tired along the way, but don't give up. Eyes on the GOAL.


Peace!!!!

Goodnigga:
Boss Worldtaker, happy to see you here again. Ever since you smashed your TEF, we no dey too see your break light again.

Ema binu. You understand this journey has several steps.I am gathering money and doing other things. But I do come around from time to time. How's your prep going?

sweetoma:
Hello guys, I just entered the express entry pool with CRS of 436, I don’t have masters I’m currrently searching for where I can enroll for a fast 1 year masters whether it is online from a foreign school. Can afford to spend like $5000 to $7000 at most. If you have any suggestions for school whether here and abroad please let me know. I’m also looking at writing TEF to increase my score. The alliance francaise here is closed because of covid so I’m learning with duo lingo please any helpful resources for learning will be appreciated. I was just laid off from my job because of this pandemic so right now this is my focus.

Hi sweetoma. Your experience is touching that's why I had to comment. Forget about the loss, think about the big picture. How do I get to Mapleland fast should occupy your mind. I will suggest either TEF and/CIMA if you can. For TEF, it's either you wait for AF to reopen and continue. But if you can't, I will suggest you go for an online school. I was like you last year, indecisive of what to do coupled with work. I was then introduced to Tobidam. I can confidently recommend the site, because I came out excellently in TEF early this year. My testimony is on this forum. I started then last year. Choose a private class if you want it to be intensive. Then along side , start preparing for CIMA. Just do all you can!! Canada a-must should henceforth be your slogan.

Peace!!!

Bonjour à tous

Please i need a learning strategy for understanding comprehension écrite

Merci

just a little addition. So many advanced expressions are used in CE, so you need up your game in synonyms (nouns, verbs, adjectives), know the tenses very well. And try to gather french way of making expressions from News channel, news paper, radio, dictionary etc.

Peace!!

Imperare:
thank you sir, God bless you. I was surprised when Dangote pledged ordinary 200 Million naira

no mind am. He is used to giving on millions. He has never given in billions. Baba dey reason say, make the money no finish

SultanOfPuna:
football money be like blood money..
1st Week = 400,000
2nd Week= 400,000
3rd Week = 400,000
4th Week = 400,000
1 Month= 1.6 Million
1 Year= 19.1 Million pounds
In Naira that's 8.4 billion naira per year

God go punish that my aunty we say make I go school instead of following my football dreams..

you better thank your aunty, cos you may ended up a jobless and useless footballer. Not all footballers make it! That I can play very well, doesn't mean I will travel abroad

In the spirit of giving back and also due to requests from my fellow students of Tobidam and friends here too.

This is the full gists:
It all began last year searching for how to begin my French training. I couldn't go to any traditional language school cos of my busy schedule ,so I was searching if I could get an online school, and luckily, I found www.tobidam.com .

Did I know French before? Yes and No
Yes because I could speak a little and write too, but No because when I did my placement test at Tobidam, I was told I was still a beginner according to their curriculum. So I started from scratch.
Just to be brief, I spent 6months, but It was like a year in 6 months. I booked for private class(12hrs/WK as at then) as against group class so that it can be very fast. The tutor said, if I want to pass at a sitting, I must double the amount of class hours as personal efforts. He also said if I can do up to C1, it will improve my results. So I agreed. So I had to put 28 hours/ week of personal efforts aside class own. That is 4hrs/day. I simply gave my life to French for those 6 months.

We do listening ( from DELF A1-B2) for practice throughout, at C1 we started doing TEF listening practice. I did a lot of outside class listening Like RFI, RTL, TV5 monde, Radio Canada etc.
For speaking, Writing & Reading was imbedded in the program from A1. I can't move to the next level until I have passed at least 50% of the exam at every level.( internal assessment)
After the program, I did Special TEF preparation class:
My tutor tutored with 102 CE long texts three times. and the 22 CO long texts three times with some tips on how to master them in order to do well on exam day. I went through them the first time and he joined me for the second and third time.
We practiced exam related EO and EE texts from 2019 past questions and commonly repeated past questions.
We treated 250 CE TEF blue & yellow version as well as all the 6 CO TEF

Tips on exam day: don't be distracted, please concentrate well during listening cos you can easily lose touch. Even if some one knows the answer, do what you know first, otherwise you could be destabilized.

For Writing,( section B) I was told to use Subjunctive , Conditional, Future simple where necessary and my logical connectors. Too many
strategies I was given to meet the requirements, that time won't permit me to list all.

It is paper based and black pen used. That's all I could say for now.
Another beauty of attending Tobidam is that I was provided with all the materials needed. I didn't get any myself. And the class is HIGHLY WORTH IT!
Peace.

Finally I can come out of my hiding place. TEF results out:
EO C1
EE C1
CE C1
CO C1
Wow!! It is a thing of joy to see one's efforts crowned with success.I have been mute in action since.I know the journey just begins sha. Special appreciation to Almighty, and also to my Monsieur ,Tobi, the face behind the online school, www.tobidam.com Thanks for the encouragement, interesting ,fun and imparting class. And of always reminding me,:« you're now a senior student, work harder, no more English.»
Back to my hiding place, journey still long small.Thanks to all who made the thread alive too. Peace!!

Ça fait longtemps que je visite ici. Bonne année à tous. I have been busy preparing since and now I done. I am now preparing for TEF with tips & past questions with my tutor. I came here to share the news that I got from the tutor that unlike last year where fees are fixed. For this year there is now discount: the more hours you book, the lesser your fees. And like me, within a reasonable amount of time and your PERSONAL preparation, you should be ready for TEF . I am taking my exam pretty soon. Back to reading mode. For more info on the tutor, go to: www.tobidam.com
I wish every TEF aspirant success this year.
À plus tard !

Only B2B draws or increase in number of ITAs can bring the CRS points down this year.... it keep getting tougher. Damn

That means all & sundry should from now on aim 470+ whether it comes down or not. Stay positive however!!

Las las, we go all marry. But, if women can't be faithful, no need wasting men's money in the name of marriage. Just become community farm tool for every man. By that you can still have children and your freedom. But it is an unpardonable sin for you to be paid bride price for to satisfy and please only your husband and still cheat. If such women are here, may your husband to-be be given to another woman!!!

It becomes vanity upon vanity when you die broke

As far you are rich and can afford quality life please enjoy it and forget all this vanity upon vanity crew members

So because it is vanity so man should not hustle again abi

It is only vanity when you die without knowing and believing in Christ Jesus

Mazi Ronaldo just forward your weekly salary to me please I don't think you will ever need More money again

Vanity upon vanity is a song sung by sons of poverty.

Enculer:
Defeatist? Not me mate. I was only highlighting the reality. I am laughing ironically at the stress people have to go through that's all. Do you cry? Nope. You laugh!!

Ironic laugh that it. If you get the irony. People busting their a.ss to get the scores and all.

You do realise that getting through express entry is just the beginning.

That is the bigger picture. If just getting to Canada is your final dream I feel there are tons ways you can get the nomination (and I am not an expert).

Not referring to you per se. But to those who keep on using impossible/negative words to scare people. EE seems fastest, nomination is via PNP.

Enculer:
Still chuckling to myself.

The whole process is stringent. The guys are setting some high language standards.

Not easy.

That's what I am tryna avoid on this thread, once u have a defeatist attitude, you are a gonna. NEVER, U listen to anybody here telling u what is impossible or something is good or bad. Always make findings yourself, otherwise u will be confused.
The journey seems arduous, but we can't arrive in Canny by being pessimistic all the time.
Belief has the capacity to create the WAY. Never forget that folks!!

Framaro:
I used my tef result, Almost 40! Msc

It is your age that's dropping your pts, however, either you max IELTS or max TEF clb 7 is 6666, you will still fly.
How about your working experience? Is it up to 3 years? Your Msc is an advantage

Framaro:
Currently sitting at 448

I hope u used the CLB 9 for the TEF, and not your TEF results?
Secondly, are you 33 and below?
Thirdly are u using 3years working experience?

Framaro:
I've maxed out ielts 8.5/8/8/8.
I had just completed b2 level before taking d tef exam. Im thinking of retaking the test but I'm thinking of CBT. Not sure yet

simulate your scores here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
Put the highest score of TEF there, with this your IELTS score and let's know what you got.

Enculer:
Really? Interesting stuff.

@ Enculer, Let's put our heart to rest, put the highest score of TEF score and put the highest IELTS score let's see what you get. Simulate it here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

I have my own questions too, I need answer, in IELTS, I discovered writing in Capital letter is better than small letters, does it apply to TEF? And is it with pen or pencil?
