rainazoe: Ehyah...so sorry to hear this. The issues with most naija men to my mind are some of these; 1. Fear of starting almost all over in a very unfamiliar terrain. 2. A society where the woman is free to do as she wishes (no cultural restraints as instituted in Africa) and may easily "misbehave" and to top it, the laws and the society will side her 100% against the man, that unknown is scary to some. 3. Children loosing touch with the "home" culture and values...etc Try to search what his innate fears are and try to genuinely address them (I know what I'm saying, some of us men are just ready to embark on the journey with the divine assurance that we will go with our spouses and the family won't disintegrate in the foreign land) Some men know their wives' attitude and won't step a foot outside of this Naija to relocate elsewhere with them because they are fairly certain that their families may not come back in one piece... Sis, keep praying and hoping for the best. I pray the future will deliver the best to your home and make everything end in your favour. It will end in praise IJN! 19 Likes |

Hello guys. Nice to see the thread progressing good. So since I landed in Canada in October I decided to study to pass the much dreaded medical exam (MCCEE). I took the exam this January and it wasn't bad at all. Still waiting for the result but I know I'll get a very good score. Just want to encourage other doctors to take the exams. The Canada Qbank questions used in preparing for the exam is actually harder than the exam itself. So just try and go through the questions twice and aim for a high score. Presently trying to get a job while I wait for further tests. Getting other health jobs like pharmacy assistant, office assistant isn't looking easy. I'm trying out the Acces employment program in Ontario. Would appreciate any advice that would get me something to do. 11 Likes 1 Share |

gasplant: Hi, in your lease agreement should be a sanction clause for breaking your lease. This clause varies from agreement to agreement but essentially, you pay a penalty and may also forfeit your last month rent or the remaining months to complete your lease. You might also not lose your last month rent if you pay the penalty. Like I said, it all depends on the terms of the agreement you signed. I was in a similar position as I bought my house with 2 months left on my apartment lease. Rather than pay the penalty, I waited out the lease and spent the time furnishing and finishing my house to my taste. On the weekend my lease ended, I strolled out of the apartment and into my casa, no penalty, no issues. Hope this helps you ![]() 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Renting a house,does the landlord/manager ask to know the number of people that would be occupying the house? Would they allow a family of 5 rent a 2 bedroom apartment? TheCongo2, What do you think about those high rise apartment in London,particularly those owned by drewloholdings. I was in London recently and I visited some of them,they appear nice from the outside,but I want to know if you have ideas about those high rise building .Which one would you recommend between those apartment and condos |

winter:layer up as much as possible for landing....for example, body suit, pants, sweater, another pair of pants, hat, gloves, socks, booties then a jacket. When you land, you can buy a snow suit for the baby that you can zip her in and it keeps em really warm. However don't fret too much, you most likely won't come in contact with the elements for long on arrival. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
