The UN assignment will last for one year, immigration is a permanent move.

TheCongo2:


That is correct.
If you don't owe you may even file next year.
The penalty will apply only in case you owe the government.

Merry Christmas to you

I believe you can only file taxes within that period. After that would attract penalties. You can read here for more info about online, paper or telephone options for filing your taxes. https://www.canada.ca/en/services/taxes/income-tax/personal-income-tax/doing-your-taxes.html

Guitarlife:

Let me just advise you this, stop arguing with that dude honestly he will drag you down to his own level and beat you arms down with his wealth of experience . lol na joke o.

On a more serious note, I find AzeD1 arguement sometimes difficult to comprehend, like the point he is trying to make here:

Parents of the bride? In Igbo land, the women are not even allowed were the discussion is taking place. The Yoruba's don't collect it anymore so I don't know why you are saying parents because its usually 'elders' comprised of men.

Isn't this statement absolutely preposterous ? How can you say this brotherly howwwwwwww
If the men are the one collecting bride price is it the men from the husbands family or the wives family ?

Can you stand in front of your prospective father-in-law and tell him : because your child will be equal to me in this marriage so am not paying you the dowry just lets kiss and become husband and wife and he will not send the dogs after you ?

blessings2017:


Re-read my post and see that i stated bride price and other requirements which are chiefly borne by the groom.

Women not being participants in the discussion doesn't make it any less a bride price. Likewise, parents in an African definition connotes more than the real parents of a child.

blessings2017:


You're missing the point.

Bride price is where parents of the bride collect a sum of money given by the groom which ushers in the celebration of a traditional marriage amidst other requirements. Strictly speaking, money is being collected on top of the woman's head.

This is akin to slavery. In slavery, money was paid for the slaves and their master owned them. We all agree this practise was all shades of wrong, against natural justice and basic human rights. How was it abolished? By declaration of its illegality after several public outcry against it.

That way, payment of bride price and all its appurtenances should be abolished. It follows that if we are trying to embrace everything about the western way of marriage, which is marriage by convenience, then bride price which is dehumanizing ( a man paying money to 'own' his bride ) should also be abolished. Because it is from there that most Nigerian men have that entitlement over you as 'lord"

sunvick:


Infact @Guiterlife Please Can you link me up to her

blessings2017:
Interesting conversation.

I must commend Guitarlife for airing his opinion and sticking to it, not minding if he's politically correct or not. You can't flaw his line of reasoning as a lone ranger amidst torrents of feminine activists.

My opinion, women activists must campaign against the eradication of the bride price system notoriously found in an African traditional marriage which I'm quite sure most of you had. This is one of the root causes on men's stance on authority and submissiveness.

In being fair and wanting a leveled-playing field with shared responsibilities and rights in the family, women activists should insist men don't pay any bride price on their heads

Guitarlife:


This is the kind of person I believe I can work with and who is suitable and compatible with me, if conceding home leadership to the man doesn't seat with others then they should accept it's my prerogative and to each his own.

Guitarlife:

While I respect your opinion , yet again I am stating that the bolded already addresses that area of your concern.

Have you thought that the man can ask the woman to take the key and drive ? But one person has to lead, even a pack of wolves is not led by 2 it never works.

Since we are down to comparing humans with animals, female spiders eat male spiders after intimacy but I don't see you advocating for that?

This clearly shows my position , I wonder why people intentionally choose to twist my position.
The man is the head of the home but from this statement you'd see that the wife is welcome to take initiatives too. This concept is learned over a lifetime for many and at times never learned for some so I won't expect that it'd be so easy for you to comprehend if you haven't already.

I have decided not to comment on this again but you have forced me now, let me explain something. Now A man his wife and 2 kids, an armed robber comes into the house and their is gun that the family can use to defend themselves and a place to hide for 2 people .

The person better trained to handle such scenario. Have you thought the woman might be in the force or have better arms training?

Which 3 people do you think will hide ? The wife and the 2 kids
Which person do you think will carry the gun and face the robber ? The man, he will put his life down for his family.

The person better trained to handle such scenario. Have you thought the woman might be in the force or have better arms training?

Now we have a situation where some one must carry the pregnancy while someone must wait and pray eagerly for safe delivery , who does what here ? The wife carries the pregnancy (An heroic thing and grossly underrated feat in this part of the world)

Now from my analogies you will see that the man and the woman are not equal but rather unique in their differences. The inability of western countries to acknowledge this uniqueness and accomodate it is responsible for the dysfunctionality of marriages over there.
For all their education and exposure marriages hard last 2 years and this should tell you there is something wrong somewhere, I am not saying the African approach is entirely perfect but the foundation has to be well laid to prevent problems.

Lastly, I will tell you something that should drive this home, this happened with my former babe and this was one of the major pointers for me that made me run. We were both travelling - a public transport, so what happened the car broke down in the middle of the road and the driver needed to give us part of the money we paid so we can board another vehicle to our final destination.

So lets just say we paid 10 naira and the journey had only gone 50% so technically the man was supposed to give us 5 naira right ? Well I told my bae to wait for me in the car, I went to meet the driver and after some back and forth the driver gave me 3 naira, I protested but I didnt get ahead so I came back to her and told her I got 3 naira and altho it was not fair we could just overlook the 2 naira.

My bae became irate went to meet the driver and got into a fit or rage long story short she succesfully retrieved 2 naira and came back to me grinning from ear to ear with a sense of accomplishment visibly written on her face. That moment I knew I had made a mistake being with her.
Why ? (Please note I paid for the journey 100%).

1. The rage and anger displayed was something I had never seen in her, I could never have imagined she was capable of such.
2. The audacity to go and re-negotiate with the driver was not only insensitive to me but showed a lack of respect for my judgement.

Are you in-secured because she's a better negotiator than you? Is that what bruised your ego?

3. The reason I choose to allow the driver get away with the 2 naira was because I felt this illiterate drivers sometimes could be violent and dangerous and there was not point risking my life over 2 naira - now her decision to proceed to wrestle for the rest of the money to me showed a lack of proper orientation in value system.

If you were scared of the driver, you would have left the money for the driver and not try to negotiate in the first place.

So I had to type this much to put some things in perspective for you, like I said earlier relationship issues are quite tricky and this event I narrated was only the last straw the broke the camels back as I had seen some traces of this kind of behaviour at some time earlier.

salford:
The arguments above further proves that the CBC was right after-all about the most common reason for divorce among immigrants. No matter how we twist it, some immigrant husbands especially from Africa, Asia and the Middle East would never accept a split of traditional responsibilities till strains start appearing in some marriages. The culture from back home is really strong.

Mum has now realised that dad can't just be sat in the living room with remote control on one hand and legs on the table while she does all the work at home.

I believe everyone has one or two things to learn from the arguments. Couples should endeavour to support themselves in Canada even if it requires splitting tasks into 50/50. Lets forget about pride, tradition or culture. it's all about working together to achieve success and a happy home.

Guitarlife:

The bolded means alot to me, you agree we cannot have two drivers right ? We are making progress gradually .
Now to the question of why the west has a higher divorce rate, it sounds somewhat counter-intuitive , are you saying that Westerners having higher divorce rate is a testament of their "non-hypocriticalness" ?

There are very few women who do not have a problem with submitting to their spouses, that is the kind of woman that I want, its my desire.
You are a guy so you can go around looking for a woman who questions your authority . Goodluck with finding one and goodluck to me too.

Guitarlife:

Are you sure you are not my former girlfriend, the bolded was exactly what she said, I ran for my life na Margaret thatcher be that.

Goodluck with what you think , mind I tell you that this is exactly the formula the west and north america practices, how come their rate of divorce is the highest in the world ?

Have you ever been in a car where all the passengers can drive ? So how many of you drove the car ? Why did all of you not hold the steering simply because you all can drive ?

A vehicle with two people driving it will crash, there has to be an atmosphere of love and submission, the man knows to love his wife and protect her with his life the wife knows to support and submit, I repeat submitting is not a slave.

Have you thought that the man can ask the woman to take the key and drive ? But one person has to lead, even a pack of wolves is not led by 2 it never works.

Guitarlife:


What is your own definition of submission ?
And I dont know how this happened but it seems everybody on this thread seem to be pre-conditioned that men are evil, unfaithful, unloving, wicked and cheating bast***ards.

Therefore every body seems to be prejudiced by default against the men. It doesn't bring much objectivity in my own opinion.
The question you have asked is a typical example of subjective thinking, maybe our upbringing in Africa may have messed up our mentality but there are still faithful, loving and matured men who understand the biblical definition of the place of a 'Man" and plays it appropriately.

The problem now is the issue of women who feel discontent in their position as women, a perfect recipe for disaster in any family.

So to answer your question, submission isn't rocket science The family is an aeroplane, the husband is the pILOT and the wife is the co-pilot (and she is not struggling to become the pilot). To be honest this is the best way I can explain this to you.

Guitarlife:

I am a bit confused by your stand in the bolded ?

2. Are you a christian or muslim, its the holy book that says women should submit if you want to have a happy and long lasting marriage not me (Turns out the book is right as nations that have this order reversed have the highest divorce rates).

ajepako:


It is not unfair for him to keep getting elected all the one because he has a godfather?

What happens to even YOU getting the same position? Or you don't deserve it?

And you think it isn't unfair?

Godisincontrol:


If you actually wanted to marry her, you would have and made her part of your application after AOR or even COPR.

Guitarlife:

This is a different case, we are talking of a brand new marriage here, a marriage that is probably less than a month.
The case you have described is possible but the spouses will be apart as a result of there own decision not that they are being compelled to because of restriction of visa and to be honest UN jobs are a lot more flexible as the spouses are always given an option of either being with there wives or otherwise.

Lastly, our convictions are different and for someone like me who considers absolute faithfulness in marriage a necessity I do not think it is part of Gods plan for marriage for spouses to be apart for any reason, this has been the main cause of infidelity and adultery in most cases and this is what I am hoping I do not fall into.

Its a really tough choice to make, but I dont think putting myself under intense pressure and struggling to keep my marital vows is a great idea either.

Guitarlife:

HOw easy is it to stay away from your newly wedded spouse for more than a year ? And what happens if the application is even denied cos from what I understand it is not automatic.

The marriage done scatter be that ehn! So for someone who is not married I think the sacrifice could even kill the marriage sef just like someone pointed out, cos the case I quoted the spouse could even enter Canny at any time if he wanted to, but in a case where the spouses cannot even be together if they wanted to and they are at the mercy of IRCC ?

There is a case on this Nairaland of a man who has even become a citizen and the marriage to the wife was disputed, this was after the family provided dna test showing the paternity of the child. Imagine fighting for sponsorship for more than 5 years ?

deomelllo:




You have ZERO credibility so why bother with the silly questions.


We are talking about official corruption by the then presidency and the NASS and your only response was a mentally corrupt question about the majority as if that's an excuse to give and not give and accept a bribe.

It's about what's right and what's wrong, not about the party or majority.

People like you really should not be members of any lawful society because you read and perceive everything based on politics and mental pettiness.

deomelllo:






APC is still the majority today and PMB did not bribe them and they did not demand 1 kobo, they cheered and welcomed him with pride and joy.

It's about Nigeria, not about your pockets.

Regardless who is or not the Majority, the commander in chief should not be bribing and enabling bribe takers regardless of the party they belong to.


This is what credible leaders do.

Sadly, you Igbos always have a million and 1 excuses and reasons to justify crookedness and corruption with, it's like you are mentally chained to to ccorruption and corrupt people. Even your mentality and thoughts are grossly corrupt.

Alright, indulge me please...


Why the search on his property, even "his phone"? You're giving credence to that madman, FFK's claim that Mr. Badeh was in possession of some "incriminating " files, one that could be stored in even a phone

That was a rough speculation on my part, but please tell me why him out of all others (to be subjected to such a detailed search?

And who would even grant such an "injunction 'and on what grounds?

correctguy101:


@ the bolded... Sorry, I'm self taught..


I wasn't trying to take sides, no. I I don't even believe FFK for I know him as a selfish bastard. My point is the story here didn't add up.

[b]Ever experienced highway robbery? [/b]I have many times both in Lagos and on my way to PH sometimes. It does not make any sense to admit you parked and robbers were within your line of sight (i.e you were within their line of sight too) but you and other potential victims were left alone and the robbers decided to wait for any "daring" commuter Even if the thieves mounted a road block, they'd spread far and no one in their line of sight is safe.

Brother if you see BS story, you suppose know na...

Mind you, if you want my primary six school fees, I can send it over. Paid #400 back then

correctguy101:


Badeh's cohorts already mentioned he's in possession of a threatening video to some "Abraham Nnanas" and was threatening to release it aka blackmail.

So where is this "political telemundi coming from?
