Fizzywah: I think it's only fair that new immigrant couples with severe or serial issues of domestic violence reported be deported outrightly. They should go back to their home country and continue their forever after the way they want. |

nitrogen:You don't even need to be a Nigerian man to suffer this. Will Smith and wife are trending today because of the affair his wife openly admitted to. The system is ready to take everything away from him (and her, though at a much later date) if he dares react. I saw that red table video and homeboy was in pains. 3 Likes |

legionISproteus: If you are married you'd know that this is not as easy as you make it sound. When you get I to Canada you'll understand. I wouldn't have been able so share this insight from Naija. But from my wealth of experience I'll repeat again. If you're a good Man/Woman be careful who you come with, notice I didn't say 'bring' down here to Canada. What happens is this is a totally different environment and within a month reality sets in to the demands of the Canadian Society. These demands don't go down to well with new Immigrants who struggle to cope. A word is enough for the wise. Have a plan work things out, agree on how to settle your differences. Most importantly if religion is your solace too, don't take it for granted. Once more guys here's my YouTube channel. Please let me know what you'd like to see me create videos of and I'll work to make it happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL5VzFCFdPs Instagram: @mycanadawaka Cheers. 8 Likes |

legionISproteus: Just putting this out there: don’t go against court order/ judgment. It never ends well. To the question-if he refuses to pay. In ON, the Family Responsibility Office is in charge of enforcing child support payment. When you default, they can take it from your bank account, report to credit bureau, place a lien on your property and if all fails, they are allowed to seize and sell personal properties. Then there are also fines and potential jail time associated with it. Running away to naija doesn’t make the payment go away either because your Canadian passport WILL be suspended and you might not be allowed into the country till you have a payment plan in place. Unrelated, but while on this matter- the responsibility of paying child support in ON is not determined by gender. Its usually determined by child custody. And if it’s equal custody, the person with the higher income pays. Source: I work very closely with social services.

Good day House, I've been a silent reader of this great platform. please house, what course can I possibly do here in Canada that will give me a good career. I have met and spoken to some people that said I shouldn't go to Uni to do a master's program, that it's a waste of money. some are of the opinion that a professional certificate course is better. I'm just confused now. I recently applied for my PR. I hope to get till before the end of the year so I can start a master's degree course as a home student next year, but my dilemma now is I don't even know what degree course to study or the next line of action to take in my career. I work as a security guard but I'm never happy, I should be doing better. I'm grateful for where I am now though but I read of people doing good jobs and doing great in this country. Please any advice is welcome. Thank you 2 Likes |

Burials costs a fortune here, I cant imagine anyone thinking of that cost on top of the loss of a loved one. Getting a life insurance should be a priority. Its usually cheaper than auto insurance, so if I can pay monthly bills for auto insurance, why not protect my family with life insurance obiem: 1 Like 1 Share |

Boss13: @Boss13 When will people like you learn to be civil and pass your own different views about a topic without any insults? If you disagree with my position, why can’t you just say yours and move on without any insults? As for the part in bold, where are the speculations in my write-up? Did you not see where I asked what she meant by “he is giving her tough time”? Did you not see where I asked if what is happening is that they are just having disagreement that they need to sort out between themselves? So, you mentioned that she should not involve the police if she is being abused and the abuse is physical, right (the key word here is “IF”). She should wait until she is killed if the abuse is physical, right? I hear you. Anyway, I stand by my position and I will not further dignify you with a response no matter what you say or call me. Hence, this is my first and last response to you. 27 Likes 5 Shares |

He should get a criminal lawyer. He will not be able to get a job or even travel to the United States because of the charge until he clears himself. Unfortunately, courts are not in session due to COVID-19 which further increases the stress. I feel sad for this newly immigrated family because of the financial burden they would experience. However, he needs a very good lawyer who can devise a strategy to resolve this without any conviction so he can function properly in society. Please inform him this is not the time to hold any animosity towards the wife and the wife should not feel justified in calling the Police. They have both made a mess and need to be on the same team to get the situation resolved. After all, they got themselves into it in the first place. Couples should seek alternative means to de-escalate issues. Screaming or shouting at each other is also abuse and when threats are involved it can be considered to be assault especially when the victim claims to be afraid. Also, neighbors are listening and may call the Police and when kids are involved, the Police will involve Child Protection Service who would interview both parties and the kids to consider if the home is safe for them and based on the response of the kids, they may be separated from the family too and placed in foster care. Nobody wins in this, only the Government and their officials - who may get a promotion on your head/matter. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Boss13: Clearly, you think it's okay to speak to someone in such a manner but it is not. You can pass your point without having to resort to abuses - it detracts from the value of your argument and makes you appear uncouth. Anyway, anyone who thinks it's okay to abuse their spouse needs to have the police called on them. The abuser knows their actions inflict pains on their spouse and is not allowed by law, yet they continue because they count on the silent suffering of their spouse. It is the duty of the abuser to seek counselling, not the abused who already has to put with so much. 22 Likes 4 Shares |
