It will be a big big big tragedy if Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu won't be re-elected. He has far more public sector experience than the internship-deep experienced Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour whose trademark gaze is ominously condescending.

Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s handling of COVID pandemic scare was excellent. His silent but solid infrastructural development is commendable. He is not a proud person. He has a friendly and functional personality, which is good for a leader. We can't afford to hand Lagos State to an opportunist just because Tinubu must be humbled. I believe Sanwo-Olu is not so daft not see that Lagosians are pushing back against some harsh policies and the excesses of Agberos. I am sure he will respond positively. Moreover, it will be simply a poor political move for Lagos to be in opposition with Tinubu as president at the centre.

I am a proud Igbo man but who is republican as it should be and so nobody tells me what to do except what I agree with my conscience and my Chi. Nobody will use me unless I allow it. I am supporting Sanwo-Olu and praying that he wins to continue his good works. This is not about resenting change but it is about avoiding emotion and using common-sense to dodge a bullet!

Greater Lagos -------Rising! Greater Lagos -------Rising ! Greater Lagos -------Rising! Greater Lagos -------Rising! Greater Lagos -------Rising!

Bros no vex ooo, between Sanwo-olu and Ambrose, who has more public service experience?

Cancel your tax consultants then where will the money came from to do what you said you will do with the "money saved"?

Have you thought that the legal battle that will arise from terminating tax contracts might actually bankrupt the state? Who now handles taxes? Corrupt civil servants who no one can monitor?

Do you know or understand what tax monitoring is all about? Lirs can set up a dept to monitor all taxes due to the government. They can analyse the trends of remittance of corporate organisations like banks, telecommunications etc to determine the minimum expectations monthly. Hope u know that despite using Alpha Beta, lirs still uses tax consultants for tax audit purposes. Alpha beta is a conduit pipe for Tinubu

I think this man is seeking for attention or he has short memory or the memory card is corrupted. Bola Ahmed Tinubu 1999-2007 is 8 years. Babatunde Raji Fashola 2007-2015 is 8 years. Making 16 years of a Muslim in the affairs of Lagos State while Christian has ruled for approximately 8 years. Even if Sanolu spends 8 years, there is still an outstanding of 4 years for Christian to rule in Lagos State.

Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom,Anambra, SW states,NW states are doing great too
You see Benue, Rivers,Imo no dey try at all for rotation

Bros, I don't know of other states in SW but Ogun State is an exemption. Ogun West senatorial District hasn't produced governor since 1999

On this IELTS issue...my two cents.

1. Stick to a FEW practice materials! The number of materials for IELTS that we see on a daily on this thread can be overwhelming. Try out only a few and stick to the one that resonates with you. Don't use ieltsliz, Jay, Cambridge, ieltsadvantage, road2ielts etc at the same time (some of these peope don't agree on the same approach and reading all can get really confusing). If you try one and it sits well with you, ditch others. Focus on that one and be a master of it. I almost got overwhelmed at some point, because l wanted to open every link or try every material l saw here. But l had to give myself brain oh.

2. Practise everyday. No excuses. Create the time. Even at work, you can use your lunch break to practise. Instead of listening to music or radio on your way to work, listen to your downloaded tips on writing, speaking, reading, listening. When walking down the streets, have an earpiece on (l hate this, but we can make sacrifices for one month abi?) and keep LISTENING. At weekends, practice speaking with your wife/husband, friend, son/daughter etc. Write out questions and tell them to ask you (under exam conditions). I finished a WHOLE 30 leaves notebook for listening practice (yeah l work an 8 to 5 and live on the mainland with my office on the island -remember, no excuses!). Always check your wrong answers and replay those portions and find out what you didn't hear properly. I used youtube for listening/speaking/reading.

3. There's this ielts expert too, one Ryan (cannot remember his surname) that l think is underrated. I used his tips for writing. He talks about 15 sentences max for writing. 3 paragraphs with 4 sentences and the closing paragraph should have 3 sentences. This keeps you in check and you already know what to write before the exam, all you will be waiting for on the ielts day is the topic given! I can share his materials if you drop your email address.
For writing, write letter and essays! Don't read what someone else wrote. Write yours too. Some people practise writing by reading another's work -WRONG! write yours too and compare. Minimum letters to write on different topics - 10. Minimum essays - 20. Revise your work and look for better ways to reconstruct your sentences. I suggest you write with pencil on your exam day so you can erase if need be.

4. For reading - use youtube. It also has a timer, so practice using the time and don't stop the timer or pause the video. The easiest comprehension in reading are the first two. Spend less time there. Say 5 mins tops for each. You do not need to UNDERSTAND nada. Just look at the instructions (very important), then the questions, then scroll through the passages for the answers. You need all your time for the last two passages. They are more technical.

5. For speaking - Be confident, relaxed and know your basic english and introduction (see ieltsliz). See this as an interview. We all attend interviews don't we? I got a list of 42 likely cue cards from ieltsliz blog (l think she said they change it every 3 months but she always update the cue card questions) and l practiced the 42 different topics and l always set my two minutes timer with my phone. You can be in the BRT or your car and practice this one, or when walking down the street or whilst doing chores at home, or lying down in your bed doing nothing (l did this. Some days, people will think you are going crazy because you are talking to yourself, but...who no go no know). One of the 42 questions l practiced was my cue card during my speaking test -something on my pet animal (l was wondering "madam why me? Animal kwa?" but because l had practised earlier, the examiner had to cut me off when it was two minutes. I just went on and on.

4. Lastly and certainly not the least...the place of PRAYER. I'm catholic, so when l saw the prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino here, l made a mental note to say it. I started saying it every day from September till i wrote my exam on the 1st of November. I even added a 9 days St. Joseph of Cupertino novena with prayer and fasting which ended on the 31st of October (l'm that extra oh. I left no chances). I asked my family to add me in their prayers too. So, pray, pray and pray. Whatever works for you. Someone dropped one St. prayer here on financial assistance for POF, best believe l'll look for that prayer and do it too!

5. People have done it, you too can. Don't be discouraged if you have tried more than once. We don't give up on this thread oh. Being here has taught me a different level of selflessness and never say never spirit. People you don't even know are quick to help and empathise and l am still in awe of you guys.

6. Please drop your email address so l can send the Ryan materials to you.

This too shall pass!

All the best everyone and my apologies for the long post.

Am interested please. adegenty1@yahoo.com

I am tired! It seems the only option is to give up right now. Firstly, i started by applying to Canadian schools but I was frustrated and never got admission from the four schools I applied to.

Then, I was advised on the canadian student visa thread to focus on express entry since I have the educational requirements and minimum work experience and I took that advise. I have written IELTS general six times in the last nine months and I am stuck at writing 6.5.

The only time I got a 7 in writing, i got a 7.5 in listening, which happens to be my only listening score less than 8. I have spent my salary and savings registering for ielts and ielts lectures since I began this process and yet no head way.

I have even completed WES evaluation because I was hopeful this will work out.

The last ielts I wrote November 10th, i was quite hopeful but came out the same way. Now I can't even register even if i want to.

I put so much efforts, sacrificed my welfare and I really don't know if i can push on anymore.

It seems this doesn't work for everybody. Best of luck to everyone on this thread. It shall end in praise for you all.

Please mail me and lets discuss about your exams. Please do not give up now. You are the edge of your success.
mail me at adegenty1@yahoo.com. Expecting your mail

You did well but that writing is the issue. I think we need to create a group to treat all these issues. I will also get someone that has scaled through to give us advise

Supported. Please lets start ASAP

Good morning fam,

Please I need advise and clarification from the gurus in the house. I intend to migrate to Canada with my family (wife and my daughter), I am a graduate while my wife had OND and she is into fashion designing. My questions are"

1. Will I have to evaluate my wife's OND? If yes, can she use my reference number or I have to register for her on wes separately?
2. Is it necessary for her to go for IETLS or mine can cover for her?

Thank you.

Awuuga:
You can check these out:-
Univeristy of Ottawa, Univeristy of British Columbia, York University, University of Toronto.

Do a vivid research on them, check the tuition, location, requirements and program length. If they fall within what you’re looking for then you can apply. Please do not limit your research on just the schools listed, go ahead and search for more schools.

Yes you can use the same reference letters. Each properly addressed to the university you’re applying to.

Please I can you drop your email address? We need to talk

Awuuga:
What result did you graduate with? If your result is good then go ahead and apply for a Master’s program. I’d like to add that if you have enough funds for application fees you can apply to more than one school just to be on the safe side.

Yes, you can sponsor yourself.

Thanks for your response. I graduated with Second Class Upper Division (4.11). What other Universities can you recommend for me. I do not mind applying for up to four (4) different universities in as much as they offer Economics. Can I use the same letter of reference for all the school I intend apply to?

Thank you.

Good evening fam,

I am a graduate of Accounting (B.Sc) in one of the Federal Universities and intend applying for Economics (MA) at University of Manitoba. I do not know if i will be given admission to study for Masters in Economics or I should apply for Pre-Masters. Is it possible for me to be my sponsor without any assistance from relatives. Intend using my domiciliary and Naira account balances for the purpose. Please I need urgent response. Criticism is allowed.

Is it a crime to give Igbo tribe a chance. Yoruba has a nation has been given fair treatment since 1999. President for 8 years and vice president for 4 years. Wetin now... I am a Yoruba guy and I am supporting Igbo on this. Moreover, Buhari has failed

Where does the act say revised assessment can be determined by the board?

Bros kindly go through Section 58(1). You will see 30 days there for initial assessment. Demand notice for revised assessment can be given three days, 1 week or 2 weeks for objection, its at the discretion of the Board. if not for confidentiality rule of the Institute, I would have shown you a revised assessment with objection timeline of 2 weeks.

tempex88:
This is how they push away investors from their states. The tax act says 30days not 7days. Plus it is not possible for these banks not to be paying taxes. All I can see is an overzealous BIR chairman.

.

With due respect to your comment, you dont have idea of what is happening there. This banks deduct WHT from customers and they will not disclose fully all monies withheld on behalf of the State. Permit me to say that banks and companies are agent of tax collection to the Government and its their duty to remit all monies collect by them but they will not disclose it fully. How will you feel if you are a business man and your employee short change you? Well it regards to what tax act says, the act says initial assessment can be objected to within 30days while revised assessment deadline can be determined by the Board. Please kindly read PITA 2011 as amended very well. Thank you.

Haibe, Please I need your contact either mail or phone number... i want us to talk please

Mine dropped like 6 mins ago, its a pity I use laptop for checking. What are you guys waiting for. Just give it a try. $10 is not too much to give it a try..... I understand that the economy is not smiling but you have to try and kudos to the OP

If anyone is yet to take advantage of this platform, then the person is to be blamed. Test run with $10 last night and have been receiving returns every hour. Its really cool. Bro, you are the best. Thank you
