Hello All,
5)Finally, if you reside or have resided in ottawa in the Past, what area can you recommend that has easy commute. I do not intend getting a car until after 6month at least to be stable. I am looking at staying in an area that has easy access to buses.

I will really appreciate your responses. Thank you all

Easy commute to where?
There would most likely be a bus stop 10 mins or less from the house but if you leave in the East end and need to commute to the West end, it would most likely take you 2 hours.

To properly answer the easy commute question, we need to know the destination.

Like every other day I rolled out of bed, but the day wasn't every other day. Few minutes later, I pulled out an I.D that life as I knew it centered on. I would do the unthinkable to it. I grabbed a scissors and cut up the I.D, qs instructed. As I did, I was ushered into a new identity. I am happy to announce that I have officially become a Canadian Citizen! All from the comfort of my bedroom!

It feels surreal, everything about this journey has. Just a few years ago I was writing on travel threads on Nairaland. Somehow, through that I wrote a new chapter of my life that brought me to this lovely country of Canada. The past couple of years here has been some of the most challenging I have lived, in ways I couldn't have anticipated and lack the ability to put into words... but has also been the most transformative of my life. I have learned so much about myself and people in general, & have had to push myself beyond what I once called my limits.

Canada has allowed me to feel at home and yet stay true to my roots. The kindness and acceptance I have encountered here, I truly believe I would not have found anywhere else. So I'm happy to call this country home. I'm thankful to everyone who has been with me on this journey, and I am extremely proud of the incredible Nigerian community here.

Congrats Chief!!

No,all citizenship appplication are sent to Case Processing Centre in Sydney ,where it first acess and if you documentation is ok then it redistrubted to regional office based on ur postal code where you live but currently paper application are proccessed faster than online application.

Your statement is contradictory.

If all files get to Sydney and are redistributed based on post code, don't you think places with a high population will be slower irrespective of mode of application?


Anyway applications are not processed based on post code. My application was processed 8 hours away from where I stay. Infact, they were at least 3 IRCC offices closer to my house than the office that processed my application.
The judge for my ceremony was from a different province.

If an office has 10 people working on citizenship files, that office would be faster than an office with just 3 people.

Kyrie2018:
The paper application is currently faster. I applied online about 4 months ago and they haven't even started reviewing my application, no AOR. A friend who applied online in March just got invited to write the test after 8 months. Meanwhile, someone else who applied about the same time via paper has done oath-taking.

It's not the mode of application that determines the speed, it's the office your application is sent to.

Omobolarin:
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to take the knowledge test while waiting for the original extract to be delivered?

Yes.

Good day my people. Pls is there any downside in collecting food from food bank. I dont want anything that will cause wahala when it's time for my citizenship. I really need your opinion plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Are you collecting from food bank because it's free and you don't want to spend your money or do you really need it?

There's no downside to collecting food from a food bank but you should only do that because you can't afford food.

Good day kind hearted people,
Please I need PHD scholarship in Canada. I have a second class upper(bsc) and a distinction(masters) in computer science.
Please anybody willing to guide me.I will be very grateful.
God bless you.

Bro,

PhD's are all about research. Are you really sure you want to to study or you want to Japa?

Sanchez01:

Have you ever been into a market where foreigners entered? If no, I have witnessed one. A foriegner from The Netherlands warded off competition totally and EVERY farmer (in this case, fish farmers) stopped selling to local buyers.

This is not actually a SIM CARD COMPARISON.

The answer is the produce more not say the Dutch buyer should not buy anymore.

If one person can buy all the produce in there market, it means you are not producing enough and the solution to not producing enough is to produce more.

What exactly is the role of the buying agent?

Anyway, when tomorrow you are told the only way to be a buying agent is to know a senator and a cabal has decided to hike the price of food do not complain.

Sanchez01:

NO!

Here's how it works: A farmer's produce is worth N2,500, foreigners buy for N10,000 to ward off local competitors. Farmer is happy and then goes home believing he has made some good profit.

Originally, the unit price of the produce should be N5 per produce but since foreigners own the produce now, they set the price to N40 per produce, making an insane profit of N35 per produce. But it doesn't stop there. The foreigners price will always create a ripple effect:

1. Wholesalers buy from foreigners and add their profit to the N40 produce, say they add N2 and sell for N42 per produce to retailers.
2. Retailers then add their profit (say N2-3) as well and sell for N44-N45 to final consumers.
3. The same farmer who was paid N10,000 originally will now discover that his money is useless because a ripple effect has taken place and affected other market commodities. He also joins others to complain about how bad Nigeria is without understanding that he is responsible.

The monopoly foreigners have on the market is unrivalled. And since local buyers buy at the farm gate, they do not have the balls to peg insane amounts on the produce bought at the farm gate.

What you are saying is what will happen.

Here's how it works.

Foreigners buy 10,000 from Adamu, Musa sees Adamu balling and decides to start producing.
Both the foreign buyers and locals can now buy because everyone is now producing.

Once upon a time, MTN sim card was 40,000 and calls were charged by the minute, Glo entered the market and prices have been on a downward trend since then.
Free market.

Sanchez01:

In simple terms, farm Gate means direct access to farmers and their produce.

Foreigners buying from them means:

1. The foreigners control the market price.
2. Farmers can be easily be persuaded into ignoring our local buyers since foreigners can easily pay more and then monopolize the produce.
3. Foreigners are only seeking to exploit the market.

With this, local buyers will no longer live in fear of competing with foreigners who are only out to exploit the market.

Direct local buyers mean uniformed prices and possibly less inflated prices.

So a farmer that should make N1000 will now make N600 because we have a stupid government?


Nigerians about to learn a very hard lesson on "markets".

Nonpartisan1:


That is the problem of an average Nigerian. We tend to abuse, saturate and make mockery every opportunity we get.

Open say, a recharge card vending business in a location in a small street, before you say, jack 100 of Nigerians would abandon every other Business they were into, and open the same business as your in that same location, before long, everywhere would saturated and that particular kind of business killed off.

I can bet, perhaps one person cheated through this means and succeeded in seeking asylum, he started calling other people back home to come and explore the same illegal route, and now the whole mess.

Yeye people! Canada Govt should jail them before repatriation.

There are agents in this business but they don't tell people the truth.
Canada has a serious backlog of refugees claims so it can take up to three years for your case to be heard and and two for appeals. In that time, the claimants are allowed to work so this agents use this as advert.
I helped person A ,B, C to Canada and they've been there for 3 years without telling them the true story.

This article said 66% are denied but the truth is closer to 80%. For those that get their cases approved, they cannot visit Nigeria again as the moment they do, their asylum claim with be invalidated.

wildikeman:



Let me guess.. You just flew in from England or somewhere in the UK.

No.
I left the UK in 2014.

After a while outside the country, Nigeria feels different. The first thing you notice is the noise and heat.
From April 2019 to December 2021, I drove about 53K Km and I used my horn 5 times and the 5th time was just to disturb a friend. In Nigeria, I try not to use the horn but people use the horn as a toy.

There are no lane marking on some part of 3rd mainland and Oshodi - Gbagada road. Like WTF?

Nobody has billed me. All my friends are currently doing very well in Nigeria.

I don't trust Google maps in Nigeria. It hasn't be so accurate for me.

Oh lastly security makes everyone that calling me by 8pm but in my base, I go out to jog by 2am.

Did I mention the heat?

Update 1
Another difference I just remembered is buying fuel/gas. Since I left Nigeria, It's only once I have had to buy gas/fuel and it was sold by an attendant. 99% of gas/fuel stations are self service. Tap your card, dispense fuel and go.

flexyrule:
This is exactly what Nigerian trained Engineers are good at.

You can't give what you don't have.

It is better acknowledging the fact that our educational system didn't prepare us enough in the area of hands-on experience as compared to our contemporaries abroad.

Engineers by training do design. That's the work of an engineer. You can find the curriculum of any school in the world including MIT and Harvard and it would be 80% similar to that of Nigerian schools with the difference being in the elective courses.

If you want hands-on experience, go to a technical school.

US, UK, Canada, Jamaica, Hong Kong.

PeaceforNigeria:
In my other article titled - ‘Chances of convicting the 21 year old TV boss murderer in the United Kingdom’, I put it to the Nairaland audience that with a good lawyer in the UK she will be acquitted. I repeat an excerpt from that article below ;



Well, just as I and many others imagined, the TV boss added a date rape drug to her drink which is why she said she was weak and tired and unable to perform. Basically he may have planned to forcefully have sex with her after the drug took effect but she resisted. Everything else she did was happenstance.

To buttress my point , this is what Reno said earlier today.

Stop watching to much film.

Stealing from him places serious doubt on the self defence plea..

How did she get his ATM pin?

niyisky:
The rate at which Lagos is developing...I just pray that these set of brilliant minds will continue to lead the state.

My only concern is the level of migration from other states is high, thereby putting so much pressure on social amenities.

Other states needs to wake up and begin to work.

You seriously need to travel to know what development means.

seunmsg:


If the ban is prolonged, Nigerians will find alternative platforms, FG will find a way to launder its batteries image and more countries will ban Twitter if it doesn’t change the way it is currently operating. Whatever is the case, this is not looking good for Twitter.

Have you heard of VPN?

Nigerians in Nigeria are on Twitter. The only people not on Twitter are those that don't want to be on Twitter.

There's no alternative to Twitter, it's not like the government can tell people either choose Twitter or something else.

The big losers are ordinary Nigerians who do remote work.

Trump was banned and people said it's the end of Twitter yet it's still growing.

The Buhari government will come and go...

Zodiacwarrior:


See another one you know it's this thing's you do on platforms that restricts people from answering questions and feel inferior.
I asked a question and am confused there is nothing wrong if I made an error and you stand to correct me I would gracefully appreciate it because it's something that is new to me and have never bought a box before I just saw the 23kg box requirements and decided to ask when I know I would be provided answers and this is what I get.
Am sure you must know it all if not you won't tell me to do this.

I very much appreciate you thanks.

Nobody can really answer the question for you.
At the airport, your box will be checked and it should be about 23kg +/-. The box you buy is dependent on you. If you want a box that weights 8k, that's fine. You can also get a bag that weighs 1kg and that's also fine.

At the end of the day, the box/bags and it's content should be 23kg +/-.

Mentorship boss mentorship.

I've watched loads of YouTube videos on Js and that seems not to be helping. Cus applying what I've learnt without running back to YouTube has been a problem.

I know teaching a total stranger is big ask, but I will like nothing than to find a tutor/mentor.

Even programmers with 15 years of experience still use online resources for things that look simple.

Start by building small programs e.g a program to add two numbers, then do for three numbers e.t.c

Remember you are not in competition with anyone so take your time to learn as much as you need.

There's no shame in watching YouTube videos 5 times.

PS: As you are watching the videos and reading the books, you should practice along by typing the code. You won't learn by just watching the videos.

Lazycapitalist2:


We could...but that would mean a lot of fuel attendants would lose their jobs.

99% of gas stations are self service.

Vinnie2000:
You are just a Hater!! Probably from the Areas I mentioned!
D Difference here is dat Olosho/Girlfriends will in all likelihood spend dat amount on Skimpy gowns, Designers bags, Bone Straight Hair, Vagina tightener,etc..
But these Celebrants having hustled for long in dier lives and d Money being Publicized, will spend on Good investments..
How is dis so hard to understand??
Plz learn to appreciate good things, ok??

You think "girl friends" and "Olosho" don't hustle?
You really think this lady is not going to buy designers bags?

The reason why governors can give their girl friends and Olosho money is because of people like you.
You can bet that someone has given his girlfriend money from this because the governor spent money without planning for it.

All this giveaways are the avenues politicians use to loot because the money wasn't documented.

Vinnie2000:

A week ago, Some pple(Notably Yorubas and Lagosians) were complaining dat it's extravagant of Gov Wike to do so..
Was telling Dem dat It is also another form of Youth empowerment to Rivers Youth..
Some can start a Business with this Huge amount of money..
Better than giving money to Girlfriends/Olosho/Female relatives,, etc

I don't understand the logic in this your post?

Are you saying girl friends, Olodos and Female relatives can't start a business with this money?

How is this youth empowerment and giving money to his girlfriend different? Isn't that also youth empowerment?


Folks like you are a big part of why Nigeria is a terrible place.

If StarTimes cannot pay 11 million, is it the 300 million DSTV paid for EPL that StarTimes wants to pay?

Godarz:


I think the problem is Nigerians really want cheap fuel .

Arguing that it costs the economy long term means nothing to them...cheap fuel, even if it bankrupts the economy

This is not really true. You can predict the future from looking at the past.
Nigeria has one of the most expensive cement prices in the world. Infact, you can import cement from China and it will be way cheaper than Dangote cement. The question now becomes of what benefit is it to Nigeria as a country when we have a massive housing shortage and expensive cement prices?

Open the market to everybody, it should be a raise to the bottom. If Dangote can refine fuel cheaper than those importing, they would go out of business.

The reason why Dangote wants importation to be limited is market manipulation.

1) Saying MongoDB isn't used in production is false and misleading
2) Off the top of my head, Paystack and Buycoins were built with Nodejs. It's not a nothing language or a fad.
3) The advice should be learn to program and not learn a language. Understanding the difference between learning to program and learning a programming language will take you far.
4) The aim of side projects should be to learn, it doesn't matter if it's a calculator or a to-do list. Your should learn something or reinforce something you've learnt before. The goal of a side project should be to learn not the project itself.
5) At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what language you know, I've gotten jobs in Java, Ruby, Scala, Go and Nodejs without ever knowing those languages because someone earlier told me about point number 3.
6) An advice I would love to have been given when I started out is this, ensure your learning is focused. This is related to point number 4. As a junior dev before you start a side project ask yourself what am I trying to learn?
Building a to-do list just to learn about promises in JavaScript is a good thing. Rebuilding that to-do list with MongoDB just to learn how MongoDB works is valid and good. When you start out, most companies want to know you can learn and are teachable so being able to explain what a promise is in JavaScript will get you a job faster than having a million side projects and not knowing the basics.
7) If you ever have the opportunity to take a course in data structures and algorithms, do it. While you might never work in Google or Facebook, the knowledge would help you become a better developer.

Apart from Canada, the only American country on the list, other countries are Asian.
Warren Buffett referenced it and so what? When has he become the litmus test for our actions. Mr. Buffett is just a decimal of the world's richest,many of who have said nothing about cryptocurrency.
This government is the most devilish and most scandalous ever.
You banned sending of money from Nigeria , now you are banning non-crime businesses online because it generates no fund for you?

Crypto isn't banned in Canada.
Infact you pay taxes on Crypto in Canada.

Serious countries are thinking of how to use it to their advantage.

You know the President has no plan when in the midst of rising insecurity, choosing the IG becomes rocket science.

Every man and his dog cow knew IG Adamu was retiring this year but the one who is supposed to be in charge did not see it fit to nominate a successor.

How do you rule without a plan.
