Pappij:


Age is not a barrier, your mindset could be.

I'm about your age and made a similar move earlier this year, although with a slightly larger family composition.

See, with your work experience; you are good to go. One or two certifications on the side will be the icing on the cake.

Just pray and concentrate on your craft, you will be fine. Jitters are fine but shouldn't deter you.

gaby:
This is an opportunity to go get your life properly sorted and to secure your children's future.

Grab it like BAT would say and run away with it my friend.

Are you seriously asking this question considering the Nigeria that is starting you in the face?

My only advice for you will be to work on yourself as per our culture of "I am the head of the house in the African way" and you are good to go.

This is a lifetime opportunity on a platter, bro.

Run with it.

If I may ask what was your motive for sending your wife for studies? Why do you think at 48 you change profession or starting a different Field. You are still young, Nigeria makes one feel too old

Then go for the masters in nursing practice. It's a 2 year degree and you'll get your license as a nurse in Australia.

Exmilitant:
Igbos are becoming toxic and a threat to our existence as a nation.
If nothing is done to curtail their excesses, I fear for what may become of our dear country in the nearest future.
Their hatred for Nigeria is beyond comprehension.

What they should understand is that, when the house is brought down, the ceiling don't remain standing.

Successonpoint:
Good afternoon Nairalanders, before I give an update on my decision to learn HANDIWORK at 45. I want to start by thanking everyone for their comments which I considered helpful and encouraging. Some people sent me emails but I couldn't access them, I guess my mail account was hacked. To God be the glory, I'm progressing in my learning and have been able to buy some of my tools. Like I said about my wife in my last post, that woman is not from this planet because of the way she has been supportive. Next week is her birthday, and I'm planning to use the little money I kept under our carpet to buy a shoe for her because the last time she bought a shoe for herself was early last year and when we were going to Church today I noticed that that shoe is already gone, she's just managing it due to situation of things in Nigeria.

The problem now is that, if I should use the money to buy shoe for her, she may not be happy due to the fact that we have several pressing needs. Another problem is that if I give her the money to buy the shoe for herself, she may take the little money to market to buy foodstuffs for our family. Please I need your advice my people on Nairaland, what should I do? I just want that woman to be happy with me, and to show her how much I appreciate and love her.

At OP,

I foresaw your predicament in my case 2 years ago. I am currently 48 and my wife is 39. 2 years ago I made a life changing decision.

I sent my wife to Australia on a student visa utilizing all my life's savings. Today, she has stabilized a little. Though she is still a student as she had to change her course of study from accounting to social work.

Currently, her employers are planning to sponsor her nomination for PR. All the necessary documentations have been completed.
She is doing pretty well and has progressed in her pursuit of CPA certification.

She has advised me to commence study for CPA immediately and that is what i am currently doing.

Hopefully, before the end of this year, I will be on my way to Aussie with my 2 children.

Usefulsense:
please I need answer to my question.

I will be entering AU first week if December 2023.

My international passport will expire in July 2024 and those of my 2 children will expire September same year.

Is it wise that I renew my passport now or wait and do that in AU? Which is better in terms of cost and stress?

Thank God I stopped takig sugar 9 years ago when I clocked 40 and only drink water and use honey as sweetner

I havent looked back still

Just water at room temperature, maybe 3 sodas max in a whole year

And zobo drink once a while

angelEmade:
...the sugar in a plate of semo,amala, akpu, pounded yam, etc. Will amount to about a box of cube sugars. The irony here is that the glucose and other monosaccharides in these drinks are a form of carbohydrates just like the disaccharides in complex sugars like sucrose (normal sugar)
.
Although all carbohydrates are reduced to glucose and consequently glycogen which are stored in the liver in complex metabolism reactions in the body, you cannot exactly compare these simple sugars to normal sugars.
.
And ironically, the malt we so much prefer to soda drinks contain Maltose which are complex sugars. A molecule of maltose can comparatively yield two molecules of monosaccharides in these soda drinks.
.
My point is that starch and carbohydrates like corn syrups and the foods I mentioned up there are much worse than these drinks. And although their intake should be controlled...it would be a futile endeavour if you keep supplementing them with excess starchy foods.
.
Malt is not a saviour either.

To be updated as need arises

Usefulsense:
Your contract of employment reads that either party will give three months notice of disengagement or pay three months salary in lieu of notice after confirmation.

You have been confirmed.

You want to leave and decides to give one month notice.

Now the question:

Are entitled to the balance of salary in the month of notice after deducting 2 months basic salary in lieu of 2 months notice?

helinues:


You are the one confusing yourself proving nothing. See the way he turned Nigeria elections to school exams.

What's special about Abuja that a candidate must have 25% there?

Is Abuja a state?

Who is the governor of Abuja?

gaby:
You will wait in vain for Buhari to hand over to the same ones who have boasted to undo his Naira redesign policy....lol

Make una dey use una head no matter who is involved.

This movie go end well, I promise.

basilo102:

Haha good argument. Abuja is a state we agree but electoral law said you must get 25% from "Abuja state". Na so Obi gave new meaning to " four year tenure" and disrupted the election calendar. He will do it again

ImmaculateJOE:
Now that we know that, Tinibu cannot be declared the winner, despite the massive rigging, voters suppression and suppression of votes because he didn't made 25% in FCT..

A rerun is inevitable... Look at the subsection 3b, who among Atiku and Obi will meet the criteria...?

I think Mr. Obi did..

He got Majority of votes in 5 SE states, plus Delta, Edo, and FCT... That's 8 states..
From my records, Atiku only manage that in Adamawa and Gombe..

N:B.. "Highest Votes" & Majority Votes" are two different things..

Highest votes simply means you scored more votes, even if it is by one vote..

But Majority votes mean 50%+1 votes..
