Hello everyone, I think it's time to get a thread based on this topic as I have searched for similar but none found.

With interest to apply for postgraduate study in Uniben for the next session, let all and sundry who is interested as well come on board, let's share ideas and information as regarding news of sales of uniben pgd form, application, clearance and meet your potential course mates.
As I have learnt, unilorin and unilag has started selling theirs..

I formally declare this thread open!

Any news about UNIBEN PG sales of forms for upcoming session? It's June 12, 2019. Anyone with info should broadcast it please. Thanks.

It is no longer news that Bolt(Taxify) has launched its revolutionary service in Benin City,Edo State. Even though, there is still low popularity among Benin Residents, some early birds have taken advantage of the service. Riders,Drivers and Partners, what are your experiences like?
I have used the service several times in Lagos and the experience was awesome.

Good day. For those still having challenges uploading their passport photographs and other issues with the site. The solution is to resize your passport photographs to 600×600 px and 5×5cm and then change your browser to Google Chrome or UC browser. Then try and upload again. The site is not friendly with Internet Explorer.
For those that are qualified for any of the advertized positions, I beg you in the name of Almighty God try and apply before it closes. Don't listen to the Pessimists, they are mostly not qualified that's why they are trying to discourage others. I know over 500 people that didn't know anyone before going through NNPC recruitment and are since working in NNPC. Recruitment on merit do exist in that corporation and they are the only organization in Nigeria that employ people enmass up to 1000 people. Just prepare as best as you can because you are competing thousand other people from your state. I say goodluck to everyone .

Hello Mummies,
Pls i am a FTM and just had my LO last week in Virginia & i was told it would take 4-6 weeks to get my babys birth certificate. Please can anyone who has had a baby in virginia tell me how to get it faster so i can apply for the passport as my return date to Nigeria is early march.
Also please what is the email address and steps to send the application for “visa on arrival”.
Thanks alot

It can take up to that if you wait for everything to come in the mail. What you can do is to do work-in service. Go to the office in person where birth certificate is issued in Virginia . You can get it in one day. Thereafter book an appointment at Passport office and also go in person, that can also be gotten within two days as long as it falls within two weeks of your travel. By then your SSN would have arrived in the mail. Got my LO's SSN in 12 working days, that's like 2 weeks 2 days. Then you can visit Nigerian immigration website on details of how to get approval for VOA. Everything can be done within 2-3 weeks. Good luck.

Hello house. I need your help/assistance please.
Those who used or know anyone that has used Houston north west medical center and the pediatrician affiliated with them please help me with a name and the cost that he or she paid

Hi, Paediatrix gives bills on a case by case basis. A friend paid $675 in October 2018 and I paid $3100 in January 2019. Just ensure you ask for good discount. Good luck.

Chanbaby:


pls how did you go about the online payment for Visa on arrival I'm having issues with it.

SOMEBODY PLS HELP ME I HAVE BEEN ASKING. GOD BLESS U.

Good day Chanbaby, so sorry I have mot heard time to get to this forum in the past week. I noticed you have got approval for your baby's VOA Application. That's enough for you to board. Don't bother yourself on the online application for VOA, just make sure you have a printed copy of the approval and a visa card to pay when you land in Naija. There are so many ambiguities in that form that you can easily lose your money paid online. As for me I paid with my Bank of America card when I landed in Lagos so I think you should just do the same and stop botgering yourself with the online application. Note I love doing all my things online if it's more convenient and most of the time it is but ib this case, their instructions alone is enough to keep you off. Congratulations to you that they replied you within 48hrs, in my case I got a reply 2 days to my departure date after over10 days that I applied. Good luck. And congrats on tge arrival of your LO.

teehey:


Good Morning my sister, please did you eventually got reply from NIS for the VOA, How did you make payment(was it online before u left US or cash at their counter in Nigeria.
please I need ur urgent reply. Thank you

Good day, this question was not directed to me but I had same experience around the same period and I can answer your question.
I am sure the sister eventually got her VOA Approval letter reply from NIS. If you sent a mail and you didn't get a reply or an acknowledgement, try and call their mobile numbers. I guess NIS had a lot of people calling them at that period, so they were replying close to when your flight is but you will definitely get the approval letter before you leave.
As per online application and payment, you may apply and pay before you leave US or pay when you land at Lagos but just ensure you have a working card ready as they say it's illegal to pay with cash (as stated on their website). Good luck.

abiscomama:
Hello,please which doctor did you use in Houston,what hospital and also accommodation.i need referral please

I used Houston Northwest Medical Center. Used Dr Xydas. As per accommodation, go to airbnb to choose your budget. Accommodation is based on your budget, duration and how many ppl with you.

PreciousNenye:
Happy New Year everyone. I just delivered my baby boy( 1jan ) Please can anyone help outline the requirements for baby’s US passport and Nigeria visa or passport. I can’t find it on recent post. Thanks n God bless us all. (am in Atlanta).

Congratulations PreciousNenye. I only have recent experience of Houston TX not Atlanta Georgia but I guess the process is similar.
First google a place in Atlanta to get your baby boy's birth certificate (I guess your hospital must have sent the birth details with your baby's name to the birth certificate office). Don't bother doing online services or waiting for mails. Go for walk-in services, you can get the certificate that same day.
Afterwards go to US Passport online site to book an appointment for your baby's US passport. Again, go to the office in person to apply(with all the necessary docs:birth certificate, Social security numbers if available, a passport photo of your boy,expedited fee etc). You can get the US Passport between 1-2 days.
For Visa on Arrival, send them an email, I think oa@nigeriaimmigration.com(pls confirm the email) to request for Approval letter for VOA. This letter is what you can use to board when going back to Naija. Then apply for VOA on Nigeria immigration website and pay the required amount. You will get the VOA when you land in Naija.
Please don't forget to add your baby boy to your itinerary back to Naija ASAP.
Good luck.

Njay100:
Hello everyone. I just heard they do now do scan at d airport to knw if one is fit to fly. Pls is this true

I am not sure about doing scanning. But depending on your airliner, you need to show your 'fit to fly' memo if you are more than 28 weeks gone before you can be allowed to board. No need to lie about your weeks in the memo if you are not more than 36 weeks pregnant. Good luck.

Please my wife interview is next month. My mother in law is already in the united states for Christmas and new year. And she is hoping to stay with my wife as well when her visa is approved Gods grace. The question on the DS 160 asked if my mother in law is in usa. Then the place where they ask is there anyone accompanying her. Please help me put more light to this. Then I have visa as well but because of work I might just help her during delivery. And our first child who is a citizen wont be going too because of school.

You are accompanying her of course even though not on different flight. Good luck bro.

Hawttattoo:
Merry Christmas all..
I'm preparing budget sheet for my interview next year.
I will be travelling with my 3 kids (3yrs-9years)
I arrived at $8,751 ( #3,195million). Please is the budget sufficient for the 4 of us?
Is there anything I need to add?

Please Gurus in the house..help.
Thanks

How long are you staying? If you are staying close to 4 to 5 weeks, then living expenses(feeding and transportation) of $1,500 for 4 ppl is on the low side(Prepare $500-1000 per month). You didn't also mention if you are traveling for just vacation only or there will be childbirth. You need to add childbirth-related expenses if childbirth is part of your travel purposes depending on whether it's CS or VAG. The budget is generally low for the new generation US interview purpose. Good luck.

nasohian:
For a working class person who does not want to loose most part of her 3 months maternity leave before delivery can you advise;

Please what is the maximum number of weeks of pregnancy can one be allowed to fly out from Lagos to the US.example using Delta Airlines.
Also what is the number of weeks is exceeded and the pregnant lady agrees to sign a consent form of non liability to the airline,will this be accepted?

Most airlines allow you to fly on or b4 28 weeks without 'fit to fly' document. After 28 weeks till 36 weeks, you need 'fit to fly' memo from your doctor b4 you can be allowed to fly. Most airlines will not not allow you to board after 36 weeks. Good luck.

Good day folk, just to give back to this forum.
My family and I landed in Houston Texas yesterday at precisely 4.05pm(11.05pm Nigerian time) on Emirates Airlines.
Firstly, for those that need 'fit to fly' to travel to the US ensure you insist that your Dr states clearly your EDD on the letter as some Airlines(including Emirates) have some unwritten rules pertaining the letter now.If the EDD is not reflected on your 'fit to fly', make sure you have a very recent ultrasound scan to back the letter or have your Dr's mobile number handy to avoid being disallowed from embarking the aircraft. Again, get to the airport early to avoid unnecessary pressure and to create enough time for scrutiny by the airliners.
On getting to IAH Houston POE, the following ensued:

Me: Good day
CBP Officer: Passport
Me: Forwarded my family passports
CBP Officer: How many of you?
Me: 5
CBP Officer: Ok
CBP Officer: Why are you here?
Me: For vacation and childbirth
CBP Officer: Looks at my wife, your wife is pregnant right?
Me: Yes
CBP Officer: You have family here right?
Me: No
CBP Officer: How much do you have with you?
Me: XYZ Dollars cash, ABC Dollars in card
CBP Officer: Where do you work?
Me: DEF company in Nigeria
CBP Officer: How long have you been there?
Me: 13 years
CBP Officer: What's the company into?
Me: It's into .....
CBP Officer: You have been here before? Is this their first time(pointing to my family)?
Me:Yes I have been here over 10 times,was here in August. No my wife and first two children were here before, the last is coming for the first time
CBP Officer: Are you coming to live here?
Me: No
CBP Officer: How long will you be here?
Me: 5 weeks
CBP Officer: Ok, four fingers on the scanner.
My passport alongside my children's were stamped in for 6months after matching their passports with them one after the other. He then called my wife to fourprint her fingers. Afterwards, he gave me my children'spassports and my passport to me and told my wife to step aside while we should go and wait for her. We waited for 2 hours downstairs before she appeared. She was taken for secondary scrutiny. She said her interview was not more 5 minutes but people were many in the room. From her experience there, it's very important to have a believable story. One woman was about to be returned to Nigeria because her story was somehow awkward and easily faultable. The woman agreed that she is pregnant when asked but her return ticket is 25th December meanwhile she has about 12 weeks before her EDD. When asked if she intends to deliver in USA, she said she may if she enters labour before leaving. Another woman came with 3 children, one of them a US Citizen. She forgot her Zero balance and Itemized bills in Nigeria. Though they eventually stamped her in , but they warned her to never forget to travel with it next time. Another Permanent Resident was also taken for secondary interview because he has gone out of America for long.
It's obvious that the Officers have stiffened up than before due to the Top Stance to Birth Tourism.

I wish everyone preparing to come or preparing for Visa Interview all the very best but preparation and overpreparation is extremely imperative.

curiouslearner:

Good Day House! Please anyone used HNWMC lately and paid the Miracle Package fee without any hidden fee afterwards? A friend paid for the package and wanted to do a CS but she was told to do a normal delivery. She ended up labouring for 17hours and they eventually did the CS and now the hospital says she isn't entitled to the package as she had complications bla bla bla and charged her normal rate . Bill running up to $12,0000. That is apart from doctors and peadiatrician and so on. Has anyone truly paid this discounted amount and not had this issue in the last few months.
Please share let's all be guided. Thanks

A friend used HNWMC less than 8 weeks ago, though through VD. She paid normal Miracle package fee. Sorry about your friend.

Madriel:
Thank you all so much for your responses. I do appreciate and will make a decision based on all I've read.

Good evening, just like Ruthina000 tried to point out there is really nothing bad in trying birth center. They try to simulate a normal home environment and all, and people have successfully used them for birthing. They also have experienced midwives, ultrasound scanning machines and other tools for ante natal purposes. The downside is that they are not as sophisticated and equipped as a hospital. Which means in case of any complications during birthing, you will have to be rushed to the nearest hospital which they usually have agreements with. Talking from experience actually, used the center in 2013. And they are not all that cheap either. Paid $4100 in 2013 and that amount could have easily been used at WHMC. It's all about options weighing. Another downside is refusal because of birth center. So Madriel please weigh your options well before making decision.
I apologize to Ruthina000 on behalf of Sparkle. Let's not castigate one another for giving one's opinion please. No one knows it all. And people learn from the diverse opinions and suggestions. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

[quote author=Phakabir06 post=72579425][/quote]

Sorry for the mixup bro. I guess I have forgotten. I think you should just diplomatically put the reason the VO gave for the denial. Moreover VOs are different. I pray she meets a more considerate VO this time. And if you are leaving your kid(s) behind because of ties, make sure she has an answer for who will take care of the baby when you people are in the USA. Again I wish you and your wife best of luck.

Phakabir06:
.Kenny MKO. Please my wife interview is Jan 11. I want to know what we will write where they asked reasons of been denied . Should we write that the vo said she did not qualified for the visa she applied for or what else can we write. And the hospital said na till like next month ending or December before we can get doctors correspondence for January appointment.

It depends on the reason they gave for the denial. I remember she told the VO it's a high risk pregnancy. That's a red flag. With that you need to show that you have enough fund to foot bill of a high risk pregnancy especially if the cost skyrockets. You also need to get Dr's appointment/ correspondence before you go for the interview again. My personal opinion please. Good luck bro. See you in January if you are Texas-bound.

[quote author=ninab post=72566555][/quote]

No that's not what I meant. Before you can be allowed in to be interviewed, you need to show evidence of Visa payment, DS 160 confirmation and appointment confirmation. If you are called for a follow-up interview, they usually give you options of date to choose from on your profile. The appointment option they provided for me was for just one person(me), so I thought that will suffice for my family because the letter says we should come as a family. Only to get there for my family to be denied entrance into the interview arena. I don't want any other people going as a family to make the same assumption I made.

Seyeedat:
Only God can help those of us going for interview by November, only God.

Keep hopes alive. People will still get their visas approved even till year 2019.

We did our interview on Monday, 29th October after being called for a follow-up interview (sequel to Dropbox application) and they were approved. Just make sure you have a genuine case, they hardly even ask for documents these days. Some were approved and some were denied on that day. In fact there was another person that came for a 221g appointment and still got denied.


The lessons learnt from my own experience at the center:

If you are called for a follow-up interview along with your family, ensure you have appointment for every member of the group.

Ensure you are abreast of all the info in your application and your travel history(international passport).

Best of luck to those that have not gone for their visa interviews.

Please i am currently in Sugarland Texas in my brothers place to have my baby. I get so boared during the day cos my brother and his wife go to work and i am left home alone. I will like to go to the shooping mall frequently but cant deal with the uber cost on a daily basis.

Please does anyone have suggestions on a cheaper means of transport that i can explore here in Sugarland.

Also, if there is any Nigerian here in Sugarland that wants to go shopping and is in the same shoes as i am, please reach out to me so we can share the transportation cost and move together

Boredom is not a good thing really. It depends on your frequency of Mall going or Walmart going and how much you budgeted for transportation. There are many shops around Sugarland that you can visit for your needs depending on the part of Sugarland you are. Most of the Malls(Katy Mills Mall, Memorial Mall, Houston Premium Outlet etc) are not close to Sugarland. However if you really want to visit Malls to while away some time, my best advice for you is to rent a car from some of our Nigerian guys that offer the service(I can connect you with one of them if you wish). It's extremely cheaper than Uber and Lyft. Instead of carrying Uber for $60 per trip to the mall. You can rent a car gor $150/week. And you can use uour Nigerian driver's licence without hassles. All you need to get is to hang your phone google map in front of you and it (google) will take you to wherever you want to go. Good luck

Hello Nairalanders, am planning to go. On another missionary journey.

I need help based on the following.
I have been to the US with my 1st child who was born in Nigeria, we went on vacation after which I had my 1st missionary baby. I notified the embassy by mail with the change by letter of intent.
During the last travel for the missionary journey, I went alone but my husband later joined me and we came home together with the zero balance letters. My 1st child has not travelled since the vacation and I really wish she goes on this one to boost her visa opportunities.

The issue is i am ready for another missionary baby, our visa were renewed via dropbox in 2016 but we were unable to travel on vacation and I have not notified the embassy of the change since I renewed via Dropbox. I intend to to write them a mail at the embassy stating change of intent, but this is solely based on your advise. Now am ready to go on vacation but am also pregnant. This time, am travelling with my kids while my husband joins us later. I will not be due till early march 2019 but since am having multiples and I have read that they come way earlier than the singles.

My problem is I will be travelling late November with my two kids 5 and 3 while my husband joins me later.
I got a ticket for a one month period because I was confused as to how long the period on the ticket should be. There's no one to keep my kids with while I will be away as I did during the last missionary journey. I intend to extend the period on the ticket, depending on when my babies come. I will be staying with a family member for the period of the journey.

The reason for my early travel in late November 2018
1. I intend to enjoy my vacation before the baby comes while am still strong.

2. The fear of the unknown as to when the babies will arrive.

3. Visas expires in June 2019 and we are yet to use it.
The story of entering the USA with a minimum of 6 month period before the visa expiration date.

Am worried as to what the CBP officers may ask

1. If the date on the ticket is too long- 3 -4 months period - why the kids are taken away for that long out of school.
2. If its too short e.g like a month period till late December. I may be asked why the short period on the ticket, since I am also birthing during the period.


Am so confused. I have made up my mind to say vacation only but what if am given a one month visa like they did to a francophone lady. I need your candid advise.


Kindly advise me on the next step to take as I have read all through but, no one has this same case as mine.

Am not ready to take the risk. Hence, my reason for being here.

Thanks NAIRALANDERS

I will advise you to be as honest as possible at POE. If the ticket you bought doesn't jive with how long you claim you want to stay, the officer might suspect foul play and you know what that means. So what I think you can do is to allow your kids to be done with their exam this term by early December. You still have 6 months before visa expiration (besides it's your International Passport that must have 6 months validity). When you are going, prepare your correspondences, budget sheet and your zero balance. Then buy a ticket that reflects March or after your EDD.Tell the CPB officer at POE that you came for vacation and childbirth and your EDD is March so that he can stamp you in to cover the period of childbirth. Good luck

[quote author=Phakabir06 post=71672170][/quote]

I think expedited appointment is usually given when the dates really show that she needs it. For instance if her EDD is December and her appointment is January. But if her EDD is still ahead of the appointment, I don't know. But you can still give it a try. As per applying for B2, I think it's better to apply for B1/B2 because it's usually conjoined. It's only at POE that they specify if it's B1 or B2 based on what you told them you came for. I wish you best of luck.

[quote author=Phakabir06 post=71600759][/quote]

Good day bro. I will advise you have your old DS160 form with you when filling another form so that all info tallies. Since you mention your cousin in the first form ,you may still do same now and emphasize that she will stay with him till you join her for the delivery. Again you can add your BofA account balance with your Nigerian Bank(s) balance as part of your cash. Wherever it's coming from; yours or your wife's, add everything because you need to show this time that you are ready for any eventuality as per hospital bills since you had already mentioned that your wife's pregnancy is high risk. It means if all your proposed expenses is 18K in your budget sheet, ensure you have account balances of like 28K. I wish you all the very best in the next interview.

chism440:
please I urgently need your advice on this... I got my visa 2016 with my 2 kids for vacation b4 i got pregnant and decided to go have my baby in the us..fast forward august 2018 , i took my other son that doesn't have visa to embassy to get his own visa and my own visa was revoked that I got vacation visa instead I went to give birth and she also requested for itemised bill ..I showed her the one I got from the hospital and my zero balance she rejected it .....my problem now is that my son that is American citizen needs to do a minor surgery on his testes when I took him to the doctor for check up ...I don't want to do the surgery here in nigeria but I don't have visa and I don't know how to go about it ...please what do I do?

I sympathize with you on this. But the fact is your American citizen can't travel to US alone and your visa has been revoked. I advise you go and find out more on the reason for refusal and how long it will take to reapply. If it's 6 months and above , you have to decide maybe your boy can wait that long before having the surgery or not. If not, research specialist hospital in Nigeria or outside Nigeria(apart from America) that can handle the case. You will eventually get your Visa back but you have to calm down , think through the whole thing and do what's best for your ill son. I think the VO are stricter than ever before, probably because of new directives. I wish you best of luck in your decision.

Phakabir06:
Thank you so much, really appreciates your contribution , I have schedule another appointment for Lagos by january. I was fortunate to get the appointment date because what I was seeing in Lagos was march. And her EDD is in march. She will be using the same hospital she used during the first one. In which we paid all bills almost 16k in Baltimore Maryland. Then my son wont be following her. Then I will be with her during the delivery Gods grace. I just got my Dropbox renewal issued on that same day she was refused since September 3rd. She was refused on 25th. The vo asked her if we gotten visa and she told her that i did Dropbox. And his son is a citizen. I think she now checked my name and asked her that where I am and she said I am in Nigeria. Then vo now said I did my masters in the USA. My wife said yes that it was my graduation she wanted to go when she had an accident. The vo asked if our son is our first child and she answers yes but not first pregnancy as she has previously lost two due to High risk. she asked again if she plans to have more babies in the USA and my wife said yes if she is granted visa. The vo types for a very long time and said although she paid all her medical bills but am sorry you didn't meet the requirement for the visa you are applying for.

Sorry about your wife's visa refusal and congratulations on yours. Let me outline the probable points I see from all your writeup so far that perhaps led to the refusal:


1. Whenever you are interviewing and you mention high risk pregnancy or complicated pregnancy, the next thing VO will be looking at is your budget sheet. You need to have enough Miscellaneous(like having more than $10K extra) just in case of any unexpected medical bills which can skyrocket because of any small complications in the US.


2. I think they prefer the husband to travel with their pregnant wife especially if there is no relative in the US. So when the husband does not have US Visa covering the period of birthing or the husband just did drop box or about to do drop box, they either put your wife's application on administrative processing or some VO do outright refusal. So always ensure you have renewed your own US Visa through drop box or otherwise before going for your wife's interview (Talking from experience).


3. Maybe the VO didn't think it through to realize that your wife was not pregnant when the first visa was given. About ties leaving your son or taking him with you , I don't think changes the ties. Ties refers to either close relative at home and/or your high paying job. Being a CBN senior staff is enough tie to Nigeria (especially if the VO sees your total annual emoluments).


I wish you and your wife best of luck in the next interview. Please read the threads well and incorporate good advice from this thread into your next interview preparation.

My guy you have got brilliant reactions to your question so far ; let me just add a few words.
I was in your shoes like 7 years ago but I eventually got my MSc Pet Eng through study leave/ Leave of absence after working for 5 years (in 2010). So what I am trying to say is the best is to defer the admission while trying to apply for Study Leave in your company. The advantages of this decision are:
1. You will somehow still have your job when things don't turn as you planned in Canada (Things are generally tough worldwide now in the oil industry)
2. You would have acquired enough experience to make your MSc studies very interesting / enjoyable and also provide you with foresight to know the program/ Thesis to pursue that will boost and enhance your current responsibilities and career in the oil industry
3. You would have saved more dough, evaluated your risk better and also seen some certainties about this uncertain crude oil price because it affects world's economics dynamics.

Remember that due to this low oil price, many oil industry professionals have lost their jobs and still losing. In fact Canada is one of the worst hit economies in the world.
I know a colleague that left one of the oil companies 10 years ago to pursue a Phd program abroad, it's now like 5 years after he had got the degree and things are still not easy (even lecturing job). He just got a part time job with a small oil servicing company last year and the job is shaky as we speak due to low oil price.

Again another thing guys are resorting to is to go for online degrees, you only visit (US, UK, Canada or wherever your school is) once in a while without leaving your job.
It's only after one finishes these degrees and back in job market that one realizes the essence of having a good job.

Please take your time, think it through, pray about it and make your decision. May God guide you.

Best of luck.

Sorry about the predicament Angel. Over 80% of married women had gone through the situation at one point in their lifetime. So you are not alone and some of them had come out of it successfully without breaking up their marriage and I'm hopeful you too will by God's grace.
Abandoning your marriage or paying your husband back in his own coins would only get things worse and will definitely affect your children adversely if not you. One of the reasons this kind of things happen is because of the way human minds work. The human mind appreciates things best when it has not possessed that thing or when it has los it. And that's what affects over 90% of men during the course of their lives. The fact that a man married the most beautiful lady in this world does not mean he can't be distracted by another lady or other ladies.
The following are my suggestions:

# The most important thing is to GO TO ALMIGHTY GOD. Pray, pray and pray. Pray for God to deliver of him of the spirit. Some men don't plan to cheat on their wives but they just find themselves involved one way or the other. It's not easy stopping once he has started so he needs both physical and spiritual help. He too needs to be ready to stop anyway.

# Don't keep your bitterness to yourself so that you don't get chronic disease called 'Depression' . Try and devise a good communication channel to talk to your husband and appeal to his conscience. Patiently advise him with modesty and with all the emotional intelligence skills you've got. Remind him of the consequences of these extra marital relationships on your kids. Appeal to him using his religion, no religion encourages adultery or fornication.

# Advise him to stay away from immoral websites and bad influences/ friends. He should try and be ignoring the calls of those girls because they will keep pestering him even if he wishes to stop. He should be firm and fill his spare time with his positive passions and games.

# Try and dress and smell well even if you are at home. Some ladies don't take care of themselves again because they are married. Be appealing to him at all times in terms of your appearance.

# Keep anything females to the minimum in your home: sisters, friends, maids etc. Employ male or old women as maids if possible. If not warn and watch your female maids to refrain from wearing seductive dresses. Remember, Men are moved by sight while Women are moved by words.

# While he is trying to stop the affairs, just like others have advised, go for tests to know your status and guard your status jealously and remind him too to guard his to avoid stories that touch.

# Attitude is everything. Be a good wife and mother in order not to push him away. Remember that 'Marriage is a relationship between two imperfect people trying to make it work' . And it's the one of the best relationship created and encouraged by God. So give it your everything you've got. Never abandon your marriage because it might be your best. It's when you leave your marriage for another that you will appreciate the one you left and realize that this issue is not really a big issue if it's diplomatically handled.

Best of luck in your union. It's well with your family.

Salam alaykum warahmatulah brothers and sisters. Thank you Empiree for the clarification. May Allah guide us. Just as Empiree has noted through Quranic evidences, it's believed that the original hadith meant 'calf of sculptures' for worship purpose. Wallahu aalam. If it were to be pictures, all of us today would have erred because you have to snap passport for school, bank, visa and other purposes which don't have anything to do with worshipping of idols. Meanwhile let's learn to argue constructively so that people can learn. No need to use foul words in argue your case especially as a Muslim. Many people are watching our conduct, remember. We all learn everyday. May Allah guide us. Amin.

Hmmm Well said Mr. President. We have trust in you and believe and pray that Nigeria will be great again under your watch and direction. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians !!!

Glory be to Almighty God !!!

No Leader gets to power unless it's been destined. Everyone is a Nigerian and wants a better Nigeria. Let's all support any Government in power in our own small way and shun hate politics and destructive criticism. One Nigeria! God bless Nigeria and Nigerians !!! Amen.
