The excuse of December 25th not been the birth day of Christ for not celebrating Christmas is selective practice and does not the smell test.

These same churches celebrate Easter, the death and resurrection of Christ despite these dates not known to the Bible.

Even the Sunday we go to church is alleged to be associated with idolatry and the worship of the Sun God.

All these dates are symbolic, we know that we don’t know the actual dates because they were not recorded but we believe these events took place hence the symbolic ceremonies.

Even the date January 1st is a different date and day back then because we used different calendar and counting systems.

So chill out and enjoy your Christmas meal without quilts.

The blame is on you!

He paid the you instructed him to pay to. Not everyone check name, some use USSD code and just ignore or overlook anything that pops up and simply press okay or continue.

Many only recheck the or just copy and paste. It is not his duty to second guess you in some cases the name returned might bear similarity to yours.

Next cross check.

Yet we can’t say we are proud of you!
You embraced corruption and taught others

Corruption apart, IBB is the best President Nigeria ever had!

Majority of the infrastructure you see still standing today were implemented by this man.

Righteousness2:
Beware of your soul!
Beware of any soothing words or grammar used by religious title holders to go against GOD ALMIGHTY.
The foot soldiers of the man of LAWLESSNESS are taking their place on the World stage.

Listen!
God's word and standards will never change no matter how the world changes.

There are no middle grounds to modify abomination.
GOD is Good, Merciful, kind, loving does not mean HE en dorse evil under any guise.
GOD does not Bless Evil.

Gay, lgbt or lgbt2q+ or whatever it is called is Abomination. It is wickedness. It is against God's order.
It will send you to Hell Fire!!!

Run from abominations! Run from sin! Embrace JESUS CHRIST. He will wash you , make you and clean you up

Hell fire is real
Heaven is real

Jesus said he came for the sinners and not self righteous Pharisees like you.

That is why you self righteous Pharisees would nerve understand and stumble when you read in the Bible that Jesus welcomed and dinned with sinners.

In your myopic self righteous mind, He should only welcome the believers.

The Church today should be open to all and welcome everyone, teach them the word and leave it. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts people of their sins and lead them to repentance. Get out of the way and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work.

Yankee101:
Her visa is based on his applying for her
I they may interpret his inability or refusal to give her more ing document as a change in mind
You can try using an American immigration lawyer

I hope the case has no K leg were the guy no longer wants to file for her but she wants to go behind him

They gave you more time to produce more evidence, pictures, t s, t leases, t assets, affidavits of , wedding documents, signs of previous cohabitation etc

If the guy is having a change of mind, even an America immigration lawyer can’t help help.

The man can change his mind and withdraw the application anytime before the visa is issued and can also refused or oppose the removal of conditional residency.

juliuscaesar:
I am sure there are questions they must have asked her about her husband, that she could not answer. Consulate visa officers usually base their refusal or approval based on basic questions that any normal married couple would know about each other. When she was refused they 1st time and asked to bring more evidence. The only evidence she could have brought was for your uncle to return to Nigeria and follow her to the interview. If he has not returned to Nigeria since they got married, and she can not provide evidence that they have been communicating almost on a daily basis since they got married. Then she will be refused. Don't forget, they are most times judging marriage from their own society than the country of the applicant. How can you say you are married to someone, and you don't speak almost everyday. You don't know the company they work for or business they do abroad. You can answer basic questions about your spouse and you want them to believe it is a good faith marriage. No way.

Sponsors are not allowed to attend interviews with Applicants unless in the case of minors or language interpretation is required.

But the other stuff on evidence of marriage are spot on.

NiceLegs:
Hello everyone.

Please I need you inputs on this.

My Uncle who is a Citizen in USA filed to bring his wife in Nigeria whom he married in 2020 to the United States in that same year 2020.

Luckily after a very long wait time, the USA Embassy in Nigeria called the wife for interview after 2 years in the year 2022.

She went for the interview and was not given the Spousal visa or Green card or whatever they call it

They told her to get more evidence of their marriage as the Visa Officers were not convinced they were married.

They fixed her to come after 2 months from the first interview date.

Before the second interview date, my Uncle in USA fell terribly sick were he could not speak atall.

They could not communicate with themselves at this stage.

She went for the second interview after the two months and was not given visa again.

My Uncle's case got worse that he was even brought back to Nigeria in January 2023.

Now my question is this, in such case, can the wife still get the USA Spousal Visa on her own at this stage?

What can she do to still get the Spousal Visa from here?

My Uncle is still in Nigeria as we speak.

Experienced USA migration experts, what can she do?

When she was denied the first time, unlike non-immigrant visa where they will give you a very vague catch-all reason for the denial in immigration visa like spousal visa, they will tell you specific documents you have to produce, in fact in many cases they will give you a piece of paper containing various categories of documents and check off the items you are missing.

Before the next interview try to get those documents. It appear she did not get them in 2020 and may have gone there with a plausible excuse which they did not accept.

By now it is possible her visa may have been denied by the embassy and returned back to USCIS in the US for further processing or final denied from USCIS, so even if you the embassy they may no longer have your case with them.

The good news is that, your uncle can also refill another application anytime, he has to meet the requirements e.g. must be resident in the USA, must be working and making at least the minimum required salary for his family size as stipulated in the I864 that he will later file, evidence of a bonafide marriage, evidence that they are planning to, living as husband and wife, etc.

zed7:
Even if the man records himself while narrating his experience, I will still have my doubts.
Everything is for clout these days. Social media will be the end of man.

Which part did you think is fabricated?

To me the lesbian part is suspicious but it is plausible.

But the other part of being thrown out happens everyday, because it is the wife that have the visa, he is a derivative on her student visa as and such he is dispensable.

In fact if he does not get an employer able to sponsor his visa very soon, he will be out of status and would most likely find himself deported.

Word of caution to anyone male or female who find themselves on one of these non-immigrant derivative visas, try as much as possible and the soonest to switch to a visa where you will be primary.

You can also go to school, also get a student visa in your name, e get why.

Yes, I know you guys have kids to take care of and one need to work to pay bills while the other go to school….well, guess what? When they throw your ass in the street and out of the home, the kids will still survive and bills would still be paid.

So let both of you go to school, both work and both take care of the kids, there are day cares, etc.

And Please be wise especially for men, you are no longer in Africa where you have an edge….if you suspect that your wife is cheating and you are a derivative on her visa, please don’t confront her, don’t spy on her, smile and pretend you did not see or know anything but start working on your primary visa applications, only confront her when you can stand on your feet by yourself immigration-wise.

Real plot twist….

Las las when the man settles down he will see fresher and better options in ladies abroad and go come dump her ass.

This happened in the UK and he was prosecuted and imprisoned in the UK, wetin come concern CIA/FBI/Homeland Security which are all American agencies for the matter?

liamjakes247:
Can you please tell me off these off the corner DNA kits, how can one get it.

This is what I am getting from Google:

https://www.easydnanigeria.com/home-paternity-test/

https://smartdna.com.ng/order-a-test/

https://dnatestnigeria.com/

There are many more, as with any DNA Test, do a confirmation test from another source before making your conclusions. You can also approach a reputable local Chemist store and ask if they have the kit. In the Western world, you can pick them up as you shop for groceries in the stores.

Disclosure:
I am not associated with any of the providers above, only got them through a Google serach.

advanceDNA:


They had a fling.....is she supposed to drag him to be part of the child before he was born...besides the nigga shenked her thinking she wanted to extort him when she told him about being pregnant...

So I don't get...she doesn't want him, doesn't want him to have his son or be part of his life, didn't even give the boy ops name.....so what's the point of telling him he has a son??

hmmm, is a two months relationship still considered a fling? Even one night stands results in pregnancy and serious dragging.

If she truly want to drag the OP, she would take him to court, put him on and still get custody of the child since it is out of wedlock.

But, she did not do all that. I think her saying she does not want him in the son’s life is out of anger and given the circumstances, her anger is justified.

The OP should give her time but not let go, you should NEVER ABANDON your blood anywhere despite the insistence of the mother that you must do.

advanceDNA:
she just wants is to let u know u have a son somewhere.??......but doesn't need u and doesnt want u to be part of his life...?? Lol...


na format to make u pursue her ..because demanding anything from you will look desperate....if she truly doesn't want anything from u, she go block u....u wont be able to message her at all
...ignore her for a while....na she go message u say u wicked ooo after all she told u ...get DNA testing once she gives u access ....and start being part of your for ur child's welfare if the child is urs.

Tell ur girlfriend the 411...if she wants to continue .... no wahala..
...if u wan go marry the first babe just because she born for u...na ur wahala be that......

I doubt if it is a format.

When the guy was not serious when she told him about the pregnancy about a year ago, according to the OP, the lady did not trouble him again.

She went through the pregnancy and delivery on her own, anyone can imagine the emotional turmoil she went through.

Also, even after the delivery she did not the OP, it was the OP that initiated the and she had to let him know.

I think she is real and the OP showing interest now is making her relive the pains, emotions, turmoils, heartbreaks, etc and she has the right to go through those cycles of emotions.

My advise for the OP is not to give up, keep sending her message, make it a duty to be sending her message either twice a week or weekly, she will eventually open up.

Also discuss this with your fiancée that, there is a possibility that you may be the father of baby but you have not done the DNA test yet.

I do not think this is the right time to do a DNA test, normalize relationship with your alleged child first.

ppogba:


With your level of education, you believe an off the counter DNA kit will give you an accurate result?

With your level of education,.you think the center is wrong by insisting the mother should be present before the test is conducted. Perhaps, you will be available on Nairaland to represent them in court in case of litigation.

Abeg una, this is a new Nairaland. It is too early for rubbish.

What kind of litigation?

Off the Counter DNA kits are as accurate as the one you get from the clinic, check the stats.

The only difference is that, they are not issible in any as evidence, they only offer what they say on their face value. If he go for two confirmation tests with OTC kit, the results are golden.

Moreso the OP is not looking for DNA test for any legal purpose, he just wants to confirm his suspicions.

If he is the father there is no law mandating that the mother must be present before a DNA test can be carried out. As the father, he have the right to authorize treatment for the baby in the absence of the mother and the Doctors would not insist on the mother’s consent before moving forward, talk-less a simple test that only requires a swab on the inside-chick of the baby.

That is not true, the owner or Associate of that Clinic or Lab are sympathetic to the women getting a blow back as a result of these frauds.

At the most, what you will need is the birth certificate of the child showing you are the father and your ID, some clinics don’t even stress you to that level.

Find another clinic or buy these off the counter DNA kits to do the test.

TemplarLandry:
I don't know why entitled people feel triggered when patriotic Americans like Donald J. Trump say they don't want too many immigrants. Trump is a patriot.

I dedicate “Big Dog” by Benny the Butcher feat. Lil Wayne to him.
Great jam!

Trump himself, his wife, etc are all immigrants, the USA is an immigrant Country, and this is racism at its core. This is all about the fact that non-white immigrants are posed to outpace white immigrants in the USA, hence this rhetoric. It is much ado about nothing.

BondRiv:


What gibberish is this? That 26 lawmakers with the speaker Amaewhule elected Edison as the new speaker of the house? How? When? where? In what universe? Absurd!

That is how people like you spread misinformation to gullible people. Don't post this nonsense again.

I gave you a Vanguard News Paper link that Carried it, not my words argue with your screen.

BondRiv:


The onus is not on the lawmakers. PDP should go to court. You cannot put something on nothing and expect it to stand. Edison is a suspended member of the house. The court never made him the speaker. Please go and acquire an understanding of the law. You don't wake up overnight and claim to be a speaker. He was seeking for interim injunctions. Does someone become the speaker through interim injunctions? Can a declaration of speakership be made without hearing from the other party? What does Section 36 of the constitution say? Edison is an impostor. End of story.

At the beginning of the crisis, after the failed impeachment attempt on the Governor, 26 then pro-Fubara Legislators implemented Martins and elected Edison in his place as the new Speaker of the House.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/10/breaking-26-pro-fubara-rivers-assembly--suspend-speaker-elect-edison/amp/

Things went downhill for the 27 after that time, the court was just reaffirming the election of Edison as the Speaker and asking Martins to stay clear.

So what exactly is PDP going to Court for now, when the current state of things are in their favor?

Jackiedemie:
Pdp and the speaker that declare those seats vacant are bunch of jokers.
Instead of going to court to secure a sound judgement, you guys are participating in illegalities in the name of political intelligence!! Okay

Section 109(2) gives the Speaker the right to declare those seats vacant, go read it and educate yourself.

It is the deflecting lawmakers who are not satisfied with the Speaker’s decision that can go to Court if they choose to otherwise case close.

BondRiv:


Those opposed to the reasons stated by the lawmakers for their defection should approach the court for judicial interpretation. In the absence of that, they are still of the assembly unless the court says otherwise. INEC is not going to conduct any fresh election because there is no judicial pronouncement to the effect that the seats are vacant. They remain lawmakers.

As per section 109(2) of the Constitution, it is the Speaker of the House of Assembly who declares the seats vacant and those who feel injured by that ruling are the ones to go to court.

The onus is on the deflecting lawmakers to present before the Speaker that their deflection is due to a division or merger therefore exempted from the constitutional requirement of declaring their seats vacant.

If the Speaker is satisfied with their submission, he/she wouldn’t declare their seats vacant but if otherwise, their seats would be declared vacant and if they think otherwise, they can go to Court.

A high Court in PH have already declared Edison Ehin, Fubara’a Ally as the authentic Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison is the only Speaker recognized under law at this time unless a higher Court rules otherwise.

Speaker Edison has already declared those 25 seats vacant and asked INEC to conduct Elections within 90 days. INEC is bound to follow suit unless another higher Court Order rules otherwise in the coming days.

I am a single father of triplets only 2 are with me but we are not living together due to the nature of my job. My boys are in the village with my mother and sister. The house I rented for them the rent will be expiring in March. Please I need your help with these two options.

1. Should I relocate them with me in my base in March. Right now I am staying in a single self cont because I am alone. But if they have to relocate I will get a 2 bedroom and parlour. Money isn't a problem.

2. Or I should renew the rent and allow them to stay in the village.

I am confuse and I don't know which one is the best.

What option will be better please help me pick the right one for the sake of my boys

Where possible, you should never outsource the upbringing of your children even to your mother.

From what you stated, there appear to be no hindrances regarding your job when it come to bringing them up and maybe for obvious reasons you did not made mention of their mother.

Please relocate those children to your base, they need their father, don’t deny them that, you will not regret it.

yinkus6750:
Surprised that the United States has that much.
Didn't even know they have different ethnics to that extent.
Though a very big country with large expanse of land , almost equivalent in size to a Continent.

Surprised that, the United State is not even more than that.

The USA is the melting pot of global immigration and the most popular destination for most immigrants worldwide.

And immigrants come to the USA with their culture, traditions and languages.

The good news is that, with coming years and decades the numbers for the USA will keep increasing and at a point would be the highest worldwide.

Againstallodds:
the governor through the house of reps have declared their seats vacant

What are you talking about?

States in Nigeria don’t have House of Representative only House of Assembly.

Even where they exist e.g. at the Federal level, both Houses are co-equal and one cannot declare seats vacant at the other.

Only INEC can declare a seat vacant in Nigeria and technically these seats should be declared vacant but as you know, everything in Nigeria is politics and since INEC is controlled by the FG, no one know what they will do and when.

Nazgul:
Sometimes the best way to avoid conflict with your spouse from getting out of hand, is to leave the house for a while.

I know some men can be jerks, but women should learn how to control their mouths. Escalating a quarrel to the extent where she was literally nakéd just to prove a point to her husband isn't wise.

The rule of the thumb is never fight anyone whom you know is physically stronger than you. You might end up in the morgue.

I never condoled any form of violence against women, but it appear the wife is the one provoking and escalating this.

Despite knowing fully well that, she is not as powerful as the man, she is still refusing to give him the key.

Why is she refusing to give him the key, why is she seizing the key? Some women invite these upon themselves daring men to do their worst while they insist in not de-escalating.

Is it the key to his car, his office to meet important deadline, event, etc…..woman give up the key.

Good day Nairalanders, I parked my car (2007 Honda CR-V ) in one of my neighbors compound, covered it with car cover and travelled. Behold, when I came back to go pick my car, I noticed that the door knob has been tampered but they didn't get access to the car and I immediately rushed to the bonnet, it has been knocked open.

It was then I noticed that the car has been tampered with and nicely covered back. I called my mechanic to come and check all that is missing in the car. True true, the thief did me dirty.

The fuse box is missing, the compressor was stolen, many wires were cut and some other parts were stolen.

Since I came back, I have tried to fix the car but can't find the exact fuse box that matches my car. I have gotten 2 fuse boxes at Mgbuka Obosi but none of them worked. Please I really need help.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Post
“Urgently Looking for Used 2007 Honda CRV Fuse Box to Buy at a reasonable Price”

On all your Social media handles, eg Facebook, Nairaland, print small flyers , post am for that Neighborhood, put your phone number.

The thief will you to sell your stolen fuse box back to you.

Thank me later, after-all what are virtual eFriends for.

Do they think the naira will get stabilised in 6months just like that?

Well, thank God they are not complaining of the terrorism in SE anymore! That Monday sit at home is the new normal from Ekpa Simon Al-Ebonyi!

Even no complaints as regards Nnamdi Kanu Al-Abia!

Always blaming others for their woos!

The price and rate of currencies, stocks, etc are future prices discounted for today.

Let me explain, the current rate of the dollar to Naira is the future price of Naira against the dollar e.g. six months or one year price discounted for time and inflation to today.

It means, if the CBN comes out with a good policy framework and sound economy blue print that will make the Naira to appreciate to a stable rate of eg N500 in one year from now, barring anything the present cost of Naira will be adjusted for inflation and time value and could now be sold for e.g N800 today.

The fact that Naira rate have not changed much is because the market did not see any concrete plan on ground today that would shift the current trajectory or market any investor buy and hold Naira in the hope that, it will appreciate in value tomorrow….in essence Naira is giving a bearish signal.

He can at least bribe his way out of jail in Nigeria and find his way to Europe after few years.

With a felony record in the US, he can’t even get into Europe.

His best bet is to change his identity and assume a new name and run to another Country that does not share biometric information with US.

uniquetechng:
If he complete his jail term in US he will be deported therefore won't be able to enter the US again, but if he is transferred to Nigeria to complete his jail term he can always bribe his way out and after few years secure another visa to travel back to the US.

With a felony record? He stands no chance of getting back into the US legally.

Dem dey bounce Green Card holders with felony records out of US talkless of allowing one already outside in.

Lightmykpoli:
Sharp guy, if he's transferred to finish his time in Nigeria then legally he wasn't deported from America and can easily get another visa to America

You are incorrect, plus he have a felony record in the US, his chances of getting a visa back are a big fat zero.

He was the one that hand picked them to be appointed.

He must have instructed them behind closed doors to resign, so they were faced with a real dilemma either to defile their benefactor or not. It clearly shows they were not there to serve the people of Rivers State but the Special interests.

Your opinion.

So, when you meet the right man who is ready to settle down with you, you will 'ditch' him upon realizing that he can cook well.

Nonsense and ingredients!

The phrase 'the right man' is based on each and everyone's opinion, so just like opinions differ from one person to another, so is 'the right man or right lady'. There are no one-size-fits-all here.

She has aired her opinion and you are drinking Panadol over it, why?
