Afam4eva:

Agbani Road is an okay place to live, nothing spectacular though and it cannot be compared to Independence Layout. The good thing is that rent is cheaper there.

Thank you very much

Please who lives or can tell about living at Agbani road.
I'm looking to relocate to Enugu and looking for a nice area to move in to.
I see a lot of good reviews about Independence layout, but I'd be working at Agbani road.
What do you think please?

Ineedtoheal:
Hi Famlanders, Please I need your advice. I beg you all to save a sister. I have to bring this here coz I know it's where I will get wonderful contributions. Again, I am using this new coz I have friends and customers here. I don't want to blow my cover. Please this is real and not fiction. This will be quite lengthy, please bear with me.

I met this guy in 2013 when I was in year one. It was not a steady relationship coz we barely call nor see so I didn't take him serious. And whenever we see, it was always at one friends house or another. I accused him of being married but he vehemently denied it. Later on I figured out he had accommodation issue after he lost his job. He later rented a house when he got another job with one of our prestigious federal universities here in Nigeria and that was when things became serious (kinda).

We became very serious around 2016 that is why I count it as 5 years instead of 7. But then during one of my visits, I was sleeping in the room when I overheard him talking to someone but the only thing that caught my attention was when he said "I don't even have a girlfriend". Though I didn't confront him, but I thought about it deeply.

Two nights ago, I had a dream where he was getting married to another lady. I was crying while he was still saying he loves me but can't marry me. I confronted him yesterday, he said I am pressurizing him to marry me that was after he first asked what will happen if we don't end up together. He hasn't told me where the relationship is leading to after 5 years. We have been living for the moment. Just for the moment!

Few info about the relationship
1) He will be 40 this November while I am 27.
2. He has always had numerous girlfriends that when he's with them, he doesn't pick my calls though he always apologizes and he's trying his best this year.

3. He always send pictures of other women to his friends to let them know they are the people he wish to marry but never has he sent mine. Though he claims he's not doing it again.

4. From the look of things he's still searching while he wants to have me all to himself. Maybe a second option since the others are not accepting him and I love him foolishly.

5. The relationship is 50 -50 .We spend on each other. He believes it's the woman's duty to do all the house chores but not the man's duty to take care of the woman.

6. On his Fathers burial last year, 3 of his girlfriends came (me inclusive) and we all wore the burial uniform. Together, we served his guests even when we realized we are dating same man. His neighbors were giggling and gossiping but we all decided to be matured and work together.

7. When my sister that raised me died, he didn't come for the burial. his reason was he had supervision that day in school,same person that calls his colleague to cover for him during exam supervision so he could do other things. He also didn't send me any money but he questioned me for not giving him any money for his Father's burial. Even when I paid him excess for the burial uniform. I know why I did that. Mind you, he has asked me before if he can give one of his ex 10k during her Father's burial which I agreed and he sent her the money.

8. I have rejected some suitors who were willing to marry me coz of him. Though he has never encouraged me to accept any of them. In fact he gets angry hearing that another man is coming close to me.

9. He doesn't call often, I do more of the calling though he always return my calls. He can stay for days without calling unless I call. I know I have been the one holding the relationship coz I thought he will change.

10. Sine 2017 till last year, all I did was forgive him coz I love him. He keeps bringing new / different ladies into the picture. I have gone through a lot of emotional stress. He keeps asking me to stay that he loves me but he's confused.

His good side: He's understanding, motivates me to do my best, he doesn't hit me, he is gentle.

Me on the other hand is sometimes stubborn though very faithful coz I love him to a fault. I easily get angry but forgives easily. When I'm angry I talk so much but I don't abuse him. He is simply the cause of all my anger. He always say I am very understanding, a good girl, drama free but yet he doesn't want to marry me and won't let me go too. I have never involved a third party in our relationship except my late sister who said she wish I will walk away from the relationship because I love the guy more, that it won't end well. All my friends thinks I have a perfect relationship because I don't discuss him with them.

Back to last night, I told him I won't call him again coz he said I am pressurizing him to marry me. The truth is I have seen the hand writing on the wall, not today but two years ago but I keep going back. Please I need advice on how not to go back again. The love he proclaims for me is not enough for him to marry. I have wasted enough time already. Maybe hearing the raw truth here will help.

Biko which raw truth are you looking for again?
This story you have written, read it to your mind and you would have all the answers.

Usually when we write down our story, it's easier to weigh it in perspective.

Hi, I feel like you'd also benefit from suggestions here too.

My opinion is that your 7 months old baby is too young for you to willfully separate from him especially as you can never really say about the timelines.

I think you should consult the nursing mothers on this thread for tips on how best to care for your child while in Canada. You can do it and succeed.

arzakari2:
Hello guys.. I hope this message finds everyone well. I have few questions with regards to the express entry and hopefully someone in the house can help.
1. So I am yet to write my ielts in March..
2.I have a 7month old baby and I read in some threads that the cost of daycare is high in most provinces and it doesnt make sense to travel to work and spend all or most of it on daycare. So hubby and I decided that we would leave him with grandma till I find my feet to be able to bring him along with hubby. Am a nurse by profession so the shift thing will be a bit of a problem. So my question is,
1. how long is one able to bring along their spouse or kid of they decide not to take them along when going
. If so, would the spouse also require ielts before leaving to Canada.

lexyj123:
I HAVE BEEN THERE, I TELL YOU ITS NOT DETAILED STILL . WHY NOT HELP WITH WHAT YOU KNOW INSTEAD OF THIS PROLONGED REFERRALS

Sis why are you shouting?

Precisionlanre:

If u decide to add her to this ITA, u have to go get married again post ITA and you will get ADR that can spoil the application if not answered correctly. I know someone who added spouse after ITA and got ADR for pictures, phone conversations, whatsapp messages, wedding pictures etc all to prove that the relationship isnt a sham one. All of this definitely slowed down the PPR time.

I don't think this is correct. He wouldn't need to get married again post-ITA as he already stated right from the beginning of his application that he is married. The only thing is that he told CIC that his wife would not be travelling with him (my understanding of spouse unaccompanying)
So there's nothing he's proving because his wife is already in his application only that he told them she isn't ing him.

Spouses can change their mind. It's just to tell CIC and they'd recalculate his score, thank God the score when calculated with his wife accompanying still meets up to the cut-off with which he got ITA.

Stencil:

Congratulations Sis!!!!

Kekereekun123:
no need

Okay thanks alot.

Please I'd appreciate your input guys.
I had 2 baby siblings who died at birth, they were never named and we never collected death certificates.
Does this need to be mentioned in the application form?

Toludebs:


Haha... I was thinking there will be something for STEM (Women in Tech)

Lol if there was such, it wouldn't be an issue, more like an advantage.

Kekereekun123:
canada wants only guys

Toludebs:
Good Afternoon my people,
Please I will like to find out my chances of EE to Canada.
These are issues:

I am a Female

Please what are my chances for Express Entry or what can I do to push my chance.

Please, how/why is your being female an issue?

Teamo2:
I served in Twon Brass island, Bayelsa in 2010. And I left the country in 2016, the AI was the only person who i still had his number.

Right now I don’t even have anybody’s . In my initial application, I submitted my statement highlighting the allawee and my discharge certificate.

Now I don’t know what else to submit, than resubmit the statement and certificate, and hope for the best.

Won't your NYSC posting letter work?
Also, when the PPA accepted you, didn't they give you the Acceptance letter required by NYSC? I think that can also work.
Plus, your final clearance letter should be able to indicate end period of employment.

Caveat: I'm not saying this will work, just thinking aloud.

Eraytee:
PNP is almost for everyone below 470 CRS congrats to all recipients of ITA in today's draw. we are not quitting no matter the recent spike

Rooting for you.

safex:
Go to Igbosere Magistrate Court, you'd see some women with typewriter by the road side and tell them you want to notarize documents. There's actually no fixed price for notarizing documents - it just depends on your negotiating skills (you could get it done for as low as N800 per document). But the trick is don't appear loaded e.g. going with Uber/Taxify or one exotic car

Thank you very much. This worked. I got it done for 1000 naira.

Torkwase1:


If you're both in Canada, I doubt if there are any implications. Just go ahead with your marriage plans, so long as its officially documented.

P.S Where are you people meeting to fall in love o?

P.P.S. Is there any Tiv person here by any chance? Weird, but I miss speaking my language !!!

Thanks very much

P.S: The love is in the cold air depending on how much of the coldness you inhale.

bezimo:


Which kind question be this.Lol like are you for real..

Yes o.

Thanks it's been clarified.

Kekereekun123:
flight plus wedding costs in nigeria. Wont you spend more than that

Lol okay
God is for us a provider.

Kekereekun123:
marriage is not a priority for oyinbo and those 9ja guys with pr there. People prefer common law partners more. Men are now wise abroad due to unfavourable divorce laws . If you can still fall in love while in nigeria please do. With all the bills in canada it will be hard to carry over 3m to nigeria to marry o. Single ladies be wise.

Over 3m to Nigeria how please?

emmatrack:

You stand a chance of winning CAD100m grant

Lol

Kekereekun123:
you marry noni. Nothing happens to your pr. So you dont wanna fall in love with a nigerian based in nigeria abi. Hahahaha

Thanks for answering

Good morning Fam'

**Asked this on the other application process thread, but permit me to ask 'Seniors' here too please**

Quick question please.

After getting PR, if I meet another PR in Canada and we fall in love and want to marry, how does that work?
And what are the possible implications (if any)?

Please, I want to notarize my documents. To do so, do I just go to the Court at Ikoyi and say I'd like to notarize?
Or is it compulsory I use one of those listed on the Notatory locator on page 1?

Thank you so much!

***Modified***
Checked and it is original. #OyaShakitiBobo

epdcan:
Date of first issuance
Provided it was an "original" license in the first place.
All the best

pelumsie:

It will count. If and only if you got a legit license number in the frsc database. They usually collect the license from you and send it for verification

Thank you very much.
Please do you know how I can that what I have is the original/legit one?

iaatmguy:
yes you will start from the beginning

Please does this also apply to license renewal?
If I renew a license obtained some years back but which is now expired, does it start counting from date of renewal (which would be less than 2 years) or from date of initial issuance?

Alexy2014:
Hello house, does anyone have an idea of how the Ielts EOR works with British Council? Please share because I need to apply for a remark.

For British Council, you need to raise a bank draft in any bank you have an with.

The Recipient of the Bank Draft should be:
British Council Trading Services Nigeria Limited

Amount: NGN15,750

Take the bank draft to BC office with your old Test Result Form.
You would be given an EOR form to fill where you would tick the components i.e. the particular course module(s) you want to remark. Your old TRF would be viewed but wouldn't be collected from you till when you return back to collect the EOR results. The process is expected to take between 2 to 21 days.

If you have not received a response after 28 days from the date you recieved the acknowledgement email, please [email protected] and copy [email protected]. You should ensure that you provide your candidate number and test date in the body of the mail.
Please note that they state that they are unable to track the outcome of an Enquiry on Results until 28 days have ed.
