Does anyone know of any company in Nigeria that makes those colourful gift or jewellery boxes? I need their contact details urgently. Please help.

I remember that film too. I enjoyed it so much.

But why are you so negative about our winning this. Obviously, Nigeria doesn't have snow or any ice rink anywhere. Even the football, athletics and other sports that we have, is a struggle for the government to support. When I see this team, I see a group of young ladies who trained themselves and sponsored themselves to represent Nigeria and I am extremely proud of them for that. The least we can do is support them.

UbanmeUdie:




Wow!


This is fantastic not because Nigeria qualified for this particular sport at the Olympics in 2018, but because it reminds me of the 1993 movie "Running Cool"


The Jamaican bobsled team!


Very inspiring.


BTW, Nigeria is bound to fail in woefully in this very sport at the onlympics. So I won't waste my excitement on them.

bellong:


Yes you can provided you have the minimum point/score needed

Thanks so much Bellong.

First, VETASSES is not responsible for assessing accountants. There are three bodies doing that, you can assess with any of them. Check the list for their contact.

Your syllabus and course content will determine whether you get positive or negative. If you have ICAN, it will strengthen your application.

Bellong, kindly help me with this question. My first degree is in Pharmacy and I have an MBA from a UK university. I have been working in Human Resources. How do I go about assessing my credentials since I am not practicing Pharmacy. Also, do they assess professional certifications like CIPM & HIS?

bellong:
In summary, find below the steps in applying...


1. Check if your occupation is on SOL/CSOL or nominate a closely related occupation that you can prove. Also check the quota percentage to know if you still stand a chance. You can search for occupations and assessment info on www.anzscosearch.com & Dibp site.

2. Write English test (PTE, IELTS, Toefl) based on your preference and your skill assessment body requirement.

3. Check your assessment requirement from your assessing body and submit your application providing them with the necessary documents.

4. Calculate your points based on your situation.

5. Submit your EOI if you have up to 60 points and wait for invitation.

6. Lodge visa and make payment after invitation. Frontload medicals, PCC and form 80 may help fasten your processing.


NB

For some occupations like Doctors, Nurses,(Most medical and health related professions), Social workers, Lawyers and Psychologists, you will first need to be registered with the registration body of each profession before you can start Permanent resident visa processing. Some require that you write some exams before you are registered while some don't. Detailed information can be found on the body's website.

Dear Belong,
I have IELTS results that I wrote specifically for Canada express entry i.e I stated when registering for the exam that I was using it for Canadian immigration. Can I use that for my Australian application or do I have to write another English language exam.

Experienced mentors in the house, please help me here

Has anyone attended an exploratory visit for the Manitoba PNP application. How did it go and what does it entail.

Anyone in the house with information, please help as well.

ibx1976:
My good people I am in a bit of a situation here and would like to hear from the community. I have lived the last few years in the UK and can say I am in a reasonably "settled" place in my life except for one thing: I don't have a wife and I am getting old!.

For the last few years, going by people's advice I thought it was best to cultivate a relationship here with someone here in the UK, learn about them and settle.

It has not worked out for me. Maybe its my luck, it has not quite worked with me with the ladies over here. I always end up with someone diametrically opposite to my goals and aspirations. The idea of marrying an Oyibo is even worse - things just did not work out in that direction either.

To compound the problem, I my job does not allow me much of a social life. I just cant make it happen without help.

On a friend's advice, I have been invited to come back home to naija and see how things can work out. I have therefore taken a months leave and am headed home for the next 1 month. Our plan is to visit a few good families and places to see if anything can materialise from that.

My people any advice on this? If you were in my shoes, how will you conduct this affair. What will you look out for. What will you avoid.

My brother. Please ignore all these nay sayers with their negativity. This is still doable and I know people who have done it and are happy in their marriages. However one month is too short for anything concrete to happen. Doesn't mean that it is impossible though.
The first step is to meet a few good girls. Could be by recommendation or not. See if you like any of them. Then get to know them just as friends. Continue to communicate with them when you return back and prayerfully watch them. As you do this you will gradually cut off the ones you don't want to pursue a relationship with and face the one you have chosen. Once you have decided, you can come home a few times or invite her over before you seal the deal.
One prayer you should always pray is Father reveal ______ to me. (Slot in the girls name). Reveal who she is, her true character and God will show you.
Bear in mind however that I have just given you a suggestion. These things are not cut and dried and can happen in any way so keep an open mind. PRAYER IS KEY. USE IT WELL THIS PERIOD. God bless you and I wish you all the best.

nameerfhtennek:
It's more than 20minutes, I'm still unable to put words together to begin this story. I will try keep it simple and necessarily detailed so everyone will understand the true picture of what happened, why against my belief that writing personal experiences on social media is immature, I had to still write mine. Let's just say I'm not thinking right now, maybe I'm so upset but truth is, I need your advice.

I'm writing this thread seated at the back of a Hilux truck just outside our apartment. Yaa, that me in the picture. You see, today is EID and believe me I should be resting in the house since I'm not working today. Days like this only come by 6times in a whole year and more than anything, I would have loved resting than being out here.

It was yesterday evening, she called and said she her driver were headed to my office. She wanted to pick some stuffs around my office. Yaa, I forgot to say this is Saudi Arabia. If you know Saudi quite well, you will agree with me that a husband will definitely get exhausted running errands for his wife or the family. I was not in the mood for shopping but she wanted to shop. She got upset that I didn't want to accompany her shopping.

She did her shopping alone and returned few minutes before I closed from work. We headed home. Unknown to me, I forgot my internet router in my office because I was rushing to get home and continue with my FIFA 16.
Her internet service expired some days back so we were using mine.

While playing game, she walked into the seating room and demanded for my router. Mine, not hers. With her tone and facial expression demanding the router, I didn't respond because there was an indication that she was warming up for a quarrel. I wasn't just in the mood. The thing is, she is very skilled in extending her anger phases. That is one thing I can't understand till today. Believe me, it was not like this while we were dating. Sorry, I forgot to tell you I married my university girlfriend, she years my junior and the same department. Ya, I'm one of those guys that dated and planned for the future with their girls at the same time. God blessed that plan but at this point I don't understand everything that has been happening for the past one year plus since we got married. She repeatedly demanded that I handed over my router to her but I was quiet. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that I forgot the router in my office the minute she first asked about it. Truth is, I actually needed to use the internet that night for my online FIFA.

After several times of asking for the router and no response from me, she took the TV remote and switched off the TV. She walked straight to the kitchen and hid the remote. I approached her in the kitchen and told her I was not ready for any kinda quarrel. We have had enough for the past one year of getting married. I then told her I forgot the router in my office, I didn't have it. I guess she didn't believe me, she never did. She told me to leave her alone. I returned back to the seating room with my heart beating fast. I knew she wanted a serious quarrel that night. After some minutes, I returned to the kitchen and requested for the remote. Then I figured out she hid it in her pant. Pretending I was passing by, I swiftly went for the remote from under her short gown and grabbed it. She didn't expect I knew where she hid it. She followed me behind and ceased the game console, second indication she wanted me to react. I do have a problem with my temper just like every human, male or female. I have also learnt to deal with it by walking away at times I feel I was going to lose it. The same reason I'm outside at this time, 9:55 pm Saudi time. She knows I have fought hard to tame my temper issues but most times, she makes deliberate efforts to have me overreact to her nags and rants.

I watched her hide the console in her pant yet again. I shuddered in obvious fear because I knew what the woman wanted, a fight. Unable to deal with it,the intimidation and the shame, I went for the console and squeezed it out from her hand while she was trying to hold it tight. That was when the trouble then started. She wanted a buffer to help her spill everything she had nursed in her mind. "You are a violent person!! You can kill, idiot!! You were not shown love by your parents, that is why you will squeeze your wife's hand to collect the console. They allowed you to grow up in the street without parental guidance and love." Then it came....pwaaaaaaah!!! She spat on my face!!!!! God knows, I have never been spat at before, not by my parents, not by my siblings, not by anybody. " I agree I was not shown love by my parents but your Dad is a coward for running away from your mother without being there for you guys when he needed to play his roles as a father. That explains the reason you are like this", I said and walked back to the seating room.

I managed to play a few games which I lost mostly and then slept off around past 5am this morning. Around 3pm, I woke up and went to the office. Not like I had work but I needed to clear my head away from the house. If only there was alcohol in Saudi, I would have been somewhere in a hotel drinking away the shame. When I returned home by past 7pm, hungry and tired. I needed to continue my game but I could no longer find the game console and the TV remote. I asked for it and she ignored me. I managed to eat and then left the house to this truck.

You see, I love my wife more than anything, more than anyone. She is one person in the whole world I could go any length for. I love her, that was why I forgave her when she broke up with me after I left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia. She broke up with me few months after I came to Saudi and started dating another guy twice her age. She says she never expected I would come back to her after she left me but I did. I did because I saw a future with her, a future I imagined, believed in and worked towards its reality. Today we have gotten to a level where most people out there would want to be, our colleagues envy is because they believe we are privileged and blessed but what they don't know is that in the truth, I have no peace. This marriage has become my legacy and my curse.

I want to send her back to Nigeria in few days time and I hope I'm not making a mistake!!! Spitting on my face, nah nah....am so fed up!!!!

You went wrong when you realised she was spoiling for a fight but yet went ahead to provoke her. You should have just ignored her. The pride you were trying to protect by saving face, you eventually lost when she spat on you. Next time when you recognise that she is provoking you deliberately or bringing up a fight unnecessarily, just ignore and avoid her. Sending her back to Nigeria is not the answer. Let God lead you on how to deal with the situation.

if you truly love him give it to him if you are not a virgin, in love you compromise, he did helping in the mentioned ways,now do the same for him.

If a boy wants to fulfil his needs, he knows what to do. Go and pay her bride price. Stop looking for osho free.

Glory12345:
Actually this is my first post on nairaland,I'm a comment reader and a post reader and I have observed how people do things here and I feel I should share my story,please don't criticise me or anything, I just need your help or advise,and please do read carefully to understand,and i am also sorry if i dont type this well,i'm not much of a writer.Thanks in advance

There's this guy I met at 3chub Ikeja,I actually went to ask if there was any standard rechargeable fan because i have been scammed alot by all these "fairly used" rechargeable fan,so i decided to buy a new one because they sell home appliances there,even though people say fairly used items are better which I chose to decline because this is 2016,and this buhari regime doesnt accomodate an extravagant spending.

I work in Lagos but I stay in mowe,and the electricity there isn't too good so that's why I'm getting the fan so even when the gen is off,i would have an alternative,so when I got to the store,the sales ambassadors offered me different brand rechargeable fan,but i later got a syinix rechargeable fan,because I was impressed with the number of months the warranty covers so I purchased it with my ATM card since I just came to inquire and not buy and I was cashless,I had to just use the POS *I'm only explaining all if these to give you a clearer understanding of the issue on floor*

After purchasing the fan,there was this guy that came to buy a gas cooker and we happened to meet and we both exchanged contacts with eachother and few months later we developed feelings and we had a relationship and we were doing the normal relationship vibe,until this week,he started acting up because I said no sex until marriage...he's a very nice person anyway,he helped me in so many ways(advices,financially,physically) but just because I said no sex until marriage,he's acting up already,although I have my reasons for abstaining until marriage anyway but my story is sad,and I don't know who to tell and I feel more comfortable telling people online because someone that knows me physically might not say the truth to me,because they don't want to hurt me,please I need matured comments even if it will hurt,just tell me

Although we aren't kids,but I'm just troubled because I love him a lot and I don't know what to do.

I'm a loner right now

If he can't honour your wishes, he's not worth the effort. Please let him go. Don't allow him or anyone else force you to do what you don't want to.

The man is Italian.

u can check out for Saskatchewan, check if your occupation falls within their NOC, start preparing ur documents cos I heard dey might start receiving applications soon. Also lookout for Nova Scotia

Thanks so much. I really appreciate.

Thanks so much cutiefy for your quick response.
Which provinces can you recommend to me. I don't have enough scores on the EE profile so I'm heavily depending on pnp.

cutiefy:
yes, it is accepteud

Hello guys,

I do not have any relative in Canada. I want to apply for PNP. Do any of the provinces accept applications from people without relatives in Canada. Which provinces should I apply to.

Please help.

jeffcheddy:


Lol ok thanks. For the record I'll be hiring barbers to do the work while I supervise, cos I don't barb. Please is that a good strategy? I'm just scared of the best choice of biz to go into. And a supermarket sells our daily foods we need to survive, and ofcourse should bring daily income so am kinda perplexed, cos this is gonna be my source of livelihood while I grow. Thanks

SUPERMARKET please and you have already stated the reason why. It offers people's daily needs and you're sure to sell every single day. Just get a good location and make sure you stock up continuously.

[quote author=Emeka71 post=48170244]This is nice and informative because I am buying a land at Sango-Otta next week and I want to do a wooden structure.[/quotle]


I know you are looking at cost and that's why you're considering a wooden house. However you may have to rethink this as our climate will not allow it. Heat will kill you in that house. I have lived in a wooden house in Lagos before. The heat was out of this world. Remember that power in naija is not regular so it will take you a lot to keep the house cool and the temperature bearable. The weather abroad is the main reason why they use wood for their houses.

President Buhari is really out to shame his critics.According to a social media user who shared the photos,'Made in Nigeria' rice has hit the Nigerian market.They are sold at a cheaper price.Below is what he wrote....

'Made in Nigeria Rice from Niger State at N7,000 only. And by the time the Enugu and Kebbi Rice hit the market next month, expect a price crash'.

'Labana Rice from Kebbi state also in the market 50kg bag sells for N13, 000 This one is proudlyNigerian'.

This is a welcomed development.Let us be self-reliant as a country.

Buhari is working my foot. Is it the agricultural infrastructure that GEJ set up that he is parading as his work. Guys please be sure of your information before posting. Jonathan sorted everything out from encouraging rice farming, providing fertilizer cheaply by cutting off the middle men to building the rice mill in kebbi state. Go and check your history. These rice mills have been producing since 4 years ago. Goodlucks plan was to ban importation of rice by this year once the production was enough to meet the country's consumption needs. Do you think that Buhari would have completed all that in just one year.

All Buhari has done so far is reap the seeds that Goodluck has sown and passed them off as his own.

What's your occupation and how many years of experience have you got? You may try Australian PR. Australia is very beautiful country I would personally recommend, if not better than Canada in some criteria like Salary scale, lower tax rate, weather and welfare system.

I have tried to look at the Australian PR. It isn't an easier
Process. Also one has to come up with a POF of A$35k. That's a lot higher than Canadian requirement of less than C$13k.

The question you need to ask yourself is why is your profile ineligible? It could be age, low IELTS, academic qualification or even mistake while entering your details.

If it is something you cannot change, like age, agent or immigration lawyers will not be able to help you. You will just be wasting money.

To help determine why your profile is ineligible, kindly let us know your details such as age, IELTS score, academic qualification, spouse qualification, relatives in Canada, work experience etc.

I have a few things working against me. 
Age 43
Not married 
No relative in Canada 
No job offer 
No provincial nomination. And all the provinces require you to be in the EE pool before you apply and have a job offer. 
Ielts score : R 8.5, L 7, W 7.5, S 8
No Canadian work experience
Bachelor's and masters degree evaluated
Over 6 years experience

irondome:


Your profile may be ineligible for lots of reasons, some are listed here
1. FSWP 67/100 requirements
2. The figure keyed into the funds requirement should be above the threshold specified by IRCC for your family size
3. Ielts score should above the minimum requirement

and other reasons

FSWP score of 64 because of a few factors.
Age 43
Not married
No job offer
no relative in Canada
no provincial nomination. Most provinces require You to be in the EE pool before you apply for pnp

Just looking out for other options available to me.

Jesus4real:


Why is your profile showing as ineligible?was it eligible when you used the come to Canada tool to evaluate your points.Go to the first page of this thead and follow the steps listed.one other mistake most people make is in the area of filling years of study.This should be the sum total of all the years you spent studying.
It's not just about getting a lawyer. you have to take out time to research too.I had a lawyer I was supposed to pay $3k but had to kick him out when I realised he was not so informed despite being a Canadian as he claimed.
People have done this on their own and successfully migrated.it's not rocket science.when in doubt ask,ask and research.
Godspeed.

Thank you for your reply Jesus4Real. I have a few things working against me.
Age 43
Not married
No relative in Canada
No job offer
No provincial nomination. And all the provinces require you to be in the EE pool before you apply and have a job offer.

I am just feeling a bit desperate .

It is entirely your choice to use or not to use an agent. However, I will like to know the information they know that we don't know. I am of the opinion that all the information your require are online and can be easily found if you don't mind doing your research. I don't see any way agents will help with your work experience except if they are going to falsify work experiences for you. I stand to be corrected though.
The standard documents you require are POF, letter of employment, PCC, IELTS, WES, passports, medicals, birth certificate and degree certificates. Ideally, agents can't change the details in any of the information and you will be the one to get this information and later give it to your agent.

I will only recommend you use an agent if you are too busy and you have a lot of money to spare.

On a lighter note, you can pay me half of the money and I will help with your application. You can be rest assured that I will be genuine and I am good as well .

Can the gurus help out here.
What about if your profile showed up as ineligible on the EE website and couldn't enter the pool, can you use agents or immigration lawyers ,

tobiojo2002:


@Bolaji..Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee request for EOR on this result...i can bet 100k that the score will be reviewed upwards if you do this.... wrote IELTS 4 times with writing being consistently 6.5 i took the chance requested for a remark and got both writing and speaking reviewed upwards.. so try it's just 15k...you may never get scores like these ever again.

Dear Tobiojo2002, is it too late to request a remark of an ielts exam written in January this year with results received in March? The certificate bears a date in February though.

humanshado:


I suggest you try Australia. Based on your stats you will be eligible to apply for Australian Skill Independent 189 if you improve your IELTS English score to L8,R8,W8,S8. Alternatively, you can take Pearson Test of English (PTE) and try to get a score of 79+ for LRWS. Check these links for details.

For details on Skilled Independent 189 - https://www.border.gov.au/Busi/Empl/skillselect
For PTE English test - http://pearsonpte.com/

There is an existing discussion forum on Nairaland that you can ask for more clarifications as you go along the process. Click the link below to visit the forum.

https://www.nairaland.com/3053069/general-guide-australian-permanent-resident

Don't stick to Canada alone, Australia has the same advantage as Canada.

Good luck!

Thank you so much Humanshado for your advise. I will look into this option.

JesusDWay:


From what i can see here, you score 64 but you need 67 to qualify. Also, you may be single but if you have a child and you indicated you have one, you will need more than 15000CAD. Even if you rewrite IELTS to score 8 in Listening, your score will still only come to 66 and as such, it appears you may not be able to make Express Entry as other areas where you could have gotten some points to jerk you up aren't exploitable, namely spouse IELTS or close relative in Canada.

The only thing i'm thinking can work is if you are able to adapt your Pharmacist work experience to the job roles of a Purchasing and Supply Officer with NOC 1225, so as be able to use it for SINP OID. You must however have nothing less than 4years work experience to qualify.

Thank you Dupsyshoo and JesusDWay for your responses. This however leaves me feeling like theres no hope for me. What other route is open to someone like me. I do not have a child and the $15,000 POF is for my settlement alone.

Hello guys,

I'm new to this forum but have been reading up on all the posts.

I really need your help here. I registered on the EE system and came up as ineligible. No scores were displayed on my profile.

My IELTS results is L7, W7.5, S8, R8.5, Overall 8.0
My NOC is 1121, have about 7 years experience in Human Resources, a Master’s degree which has been verified by WES. Age 43, Single. I don’t have a job offer in Canada, I don’t have a provincial nomination and I don’t have a relative in Canada. Funds available to move to Canada is $15,000. I put in both my Bachelors degree and Masters degree. Both have been verified by WES.
What could be responsible for this ineligibility report? How do I go from here?

I also have a second career as a Pharmacist with NOC 3131 . I have part time work experience with this. I didn’t use this in the application because it is a regulated profession requiring examination and certification before I can practice it in Canada. Can I put in another application in the EE system using this?

Your responses will be truly appreciated.

Cheers.
