sukkot:Wow spending 1.4mil weekly on enjoyment lol. We all know where that income is coming from 😆. Someone in that position that does japa,will definitely struggle because their lifestyle is built on “runs” income. If the income was “legitimate” then they will have no issues translating it to the new environment..Such a person is struggling not because of japa, rather they are struggling because japa forced them to live on their true income.. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

Prettiepearlz:You have a good point. However this is only one side of the story. Ask yourself how this would have played out if the gender roles were reversed ie the man took the kids to Canada without the lady’s consent or better put, the lady decided to withdraw her consent at some point in the process.The man would probably be termed a kidnapper and in this social media age probably loose his income source and be deported from Canada( as a result of the backlash from social media). Media would be awash with stories of how an African man tried to seize the children. I am not trying to turn this into a gender war. My whole point is do not rush to judgement. The man has taken a decision based on the information he has and no one not in his shoes has the moral right to second guess his decision. I am in no way supporting what the man has done, I am also not condemning his decision as he alone knows why he did it. 6 Likes |

Madam just imagine what you would be happening to you at this very moment if that guy had for any reason lost grip and fallen off the car as you were driving and you crushed him with you car. Let me try and explain the sequence of events that would enfold 1. You suddenly realize that you have killed a person because of an issue that could have been settled in some other way. 2. Hopefully and for your sake the Nigerian police gets involved immediately ( you do not want the alternative which would involve agbero and tyre around your neck). 3. You have a serious police matter on your neck which in the very best scenario would cost you 1000 times more to settle than what you would have spent on the guy. 4. You successfully settle police but then you will realise that your life has changed forever because you have killed a man. Always take a moment to think before you do anything and most importantly don’t act when you are angry. 1 Like |

Irrespective of status and need, if anybody gives my child an inappropriate gift ( I determine what is appropriate for my child) I will send it back to that person immediately. It has nothing to do with affordability of the gift. In this case I agree with the OP that the gift was inappropriate and should be sent back Sagay212: |

Crime / Re: Policeman On Bonnet Of Speeding Vehicle Of Lady Who Refused To Stop by Aka2003: 8:10pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
How will a sane person move a car with a person on the bonnet who is not after your life? I really cannot believe that people are actually supporting her. If she had tried this in Yankee we for don attend her funeral already. Just goes to show the level of lawlessness in our country. And to imagine that FRSC actually punished the officers. This is unbelieveable. In any sane environment the woman would have been doing social distancing and isolation in Kirikiri while awaiting trial for attempted murder of a law enforcement official by now. |

kpnick:My point exactly sir. However as per your eligibility I am no CRA official but based on what I read on their site it is only people who lost their jobs or had reduced working hours as a direct consequence of COVID-19 that are eligible. It does not say people who could not find a job due to COVID-19 are eligible. But like I said this is only my opinion and should be taken as such. I am also of the opinion that when one is not sure if he is eligible then he should apply anyway since the worst case is to pay back without interest. |

I hear that Rome is really a place to visit at least once in your life. I also hear that Paris is also really awesome to visit. I have heard that Paris is better explored by walking as the city is very walkable. You can walk down avenue champs-elysees all the way to place de la concorde. Of course you have to visit the Eiffel tour and the louvre to see the joconde. If you have time take the TGV from Montparnasse to Tarbes. Chai money dey fall person hand oo.

salford1:There are some claims that are magnets for attracting reassessments. Examples are tuition, medical expenses, moving expenses, union dues, child care expenses and other employment expenses. Basically any claim that needs documentation will likely trigger a review. For this CERB thing i read that it is new to even CRA. But what I hear is that they are not trying to ensure compliance at this time rather the aim is to get money into hands as quickly as possible. Also I think even if you have to pay back CERB it will be interest free and no late payment penalties. So my way of seeing it is that if someone needs the money badly at this time even if you don’t qualify, apply as it is a good way to get 2k per month interest free provided you know that you will pay back when things are better for you. Also you can always make payment arrangement where you will be paying 100 a month. This is strictly my opinion though. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

19CannyMum:There is some misunderstanding. You are not allowed to have 2 drivers licenses at any time. You have to submit all prior licenses. When you are on class 7 you[b] cannot[/b] drive unaccompanied under any circumstances. The international drivers permit is not a drivers license. My whole point is that you need to be aware that you cannot drive unaccompanied when you are on class 7. |

19CannyMum:Anything is possible. It all depends on your situation. 1. You can use the authentic Nigerian license for 90 days. You do not necessarily need to have an international driving license as the Nigerian license is in English, but I would advice that you have it as well. 2. You can take the theory test immediately and when you pass you can get the class 7. You then need to hand in your Nigerian license for checks. This is where it is tricky because during the time when the license is being checked, you will only have the class 7 learners permit. You are not allowed to drive without a fully licensed person in the car on a class 7. I believe it takes a couple of weeks to verify the Nigerian drivers license but I may be wrong. Read this: https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/drivers-licence-gdl-exemption.pdf 3. When the Nigeria license is approved you can then take the class 5 basic or class 5 advanced. Note that this depends entirely on the driving record that is transferred from Nigeria. If you have more than 2 years of Nigerian driving experience then you can take the class 5 advanced. When you pass the road test then you get a class 5 license. I am not sure this process can be finished in a month ( because of the time for verifying the Nigerian license). Also note that you cannot drive legally once you hand in the license for verification, so please plan for a period where you will have only a class 7. Hope this helps. Note that I am not an expert in this field. Try and do some more research. You can start here https://www.alberta.ca/exchange-non-alberta-licences.aspx 17 Likes 16 Shares |

salford:@salford I am new in Canada ( Calgary). I am an engineer with some experience. I am considering getting my PEng from APEGA but don't know how to go about it exactly. Do I go down the EIT route ( I have more than 4 years experience outside Canada in Nigeria) or can I get the PEng directly? Also in the mean time, are there any short courses that I can take to get some Canadian education that will help me to at least get into the market? Your advice is appreciated. |

The letter from company A should state that you are employed by them but outsourced to company B where you work as XXXX. The letter from company B should state that you are sourced in from company A and you work as XXXX with duties YYYY. This is my opinion sha.
