Your whole rant shows the same kind of intolerance you’re accusing others of.
You accuse others of bias while vomiting out sweeping generalizations about religion, culture, and immigrants. Who do you think you are, gatekeeping the "Canadian experience" like it's your personal inheritance? Let me educate you: Canada thrives on diversity of thought, of culture, of beliefs — not just on one-dimensional sexual identity politics that demand conformity.

You're clearly so drunk on your own self-righteousness that you can’t see the hypocrisy in calling for inclusivity while spitting on people’s deeply held values. You say sexual preference isn’t cultural? Then why are Pride parades packaged and exported like cultural festivals? Why is disagreement labelled as hate? You can’t demand blind applause and then scream "intolerant" when someone dares to disagree. That’s not inclusivity that’s ideological bullying.
Your cheap insult about “shithole cultural bubbles” clearly shows your bigotry. If anyone needs to grow up, it’s the one who thinks tolerance only works their way. Grow up!

Alright. Enjoy!

orjohn24:


You sound more like a jerk with ur weak explanation.The LGBT community rightfully fought for equal rights and protection from discrimination but let’s be honest, many now constantly play the victim, even when there’s no actual attack.
What’s the purpose of those naked parades in Toronto every Pride Month? Does that make any sense to a reasonable person? Would you seriously take your children to such a gathering? It’s become less about pride and more about public indecency, shock value, and attention-seeking.
Let’s not pretend what dominates these events is cross-dressing and performative behavior, not genuine advocacy. It's loud, exaggerated, and often disconnected from the real issues affecting the average LGBTQ+ person.
And let’s be clear most companies only jump on the Pride bandwagon for financial gain or public image. It's not about values; it's about profit and staying “on trend.
But many companies are withdrawing this year like Home Deport confirmed that it has withdrawn its sponsorship for the pride parade.

The bias! Lol, jeez!
How do you guys think at all?
Your post is dripping with so much bias, you really need to check yourself. And it's so sad to see that it's often black people like you who do this. The same black people that were once objects of discrimination, who you would think would understand the experience deeply enough to care about others who are being marginalized. Mehn, you guys need to grow up and fast too!

sanima770:


Spare me this ur polished hypocrisy..ASking someone to "respectfully celebrate" something which is unequivocally incompatible with their values is manipulative, not inclusive. Inclusion should not involve enforced silence or phony participation. The same individuals sermonizing 'inclusivity' aren't too slow in holding their noses up at anything outside their comfort bubble such as traditional religions or native culture but expect everyone else to bow down to theirs.
And no, standing your ground does not equate to "you don't belong" in the workplace. That's lazy thinking. According to that line of reasoning, anybody who has religious or cultural beliefs should never be employed anywhere that is resistant to them. Respect is a two-way street not only when it suits your cause!!

Your response demonstrates your incredible naïveté as it relates to sexual preferences. And that's where your lot fail, all the time. Having different sexual preferences is not culture. You hear? Let me repeat it again, so you can drill it into your hollow skull. Nothing about sexual preference suggests differing cultures. Differing religion may suggest cultural differences; traditions may also suggest cultural differences. But nothing, nothing about sexual preferences suggests culture. It's not cultural to be gay or lesbian. People are innately so, and that too across the world, including where you come from. But of course, your religious burden will not let you see past your naïveté. But I'm sure you don't know that anyways. Hence, the incredible bias you demonstrate in your writing above.

People like you will come to Canada, expecting a free and liberal society to change for you, as it relates to sexual preferences. You really could have just stayed back in your shithole cultural bubble and not bothered to be part of the Canadian experience. You really need to grow up!

Sheron50:
Please I have a question. My workplace has already selected a day to celebrate Pride Month, but participating in this event doesn't align with my personal faith and values. I want to be respectful and professional ,how can I politely excuse myself from participating without causing offense?

"Celebrating" doesn't mean jumping up and down with your colleagues and screaming at the top of your lungs when music is playing. You can "celebrate" with them in a measured manner while remaining respectful. You can disagree with your some of your colleagues' ideals, but still work with them to push your organisational goals forward. The organisational goal in this case is to create an inclusive workplace for all, regardless of sexual preferences. That's what this demands of you now. Don't make a fuss about it.


On another note, perhaps you shouldn't be working there anyways, since the organisational principles don't quite agree with your personal ideals. You can't eat your cake and have it, same way you can't hate alcohol and work in a brewery.

TruthinAction:
This statement is not consistent with the instructions given by our Lord Jesus. Most people will be shocked to see many celebrated men of God rejected on judgment day. Deliberate disobedience against the instructions of our Lord Jesus is rebellion. And rebellion is as the spirit of witchcraft.

Make una dey deceive unaselves. There is no judgement day, and these pastors know it. It's based on that premise that they are deceiving and exploiting you folks. Judgement day ko, judegement day ni. They use that to scare you guys and keep in you in line, use it to collect your money and to keep fear entrenched in your lives. THen they profit and smile to the bank, while you guys still keep believing in an illusory judgement day. What a gullible bunch you are!

richforever123:


This is just the front page, and check, non of their investments is more than 21%, you need to learn to do proper fact checking

It says right there on their website that they are offering 35%. Perhaps they'll offer that next week, next month, next year, whatever. It's a claim they are making. I didn't make that claim. Your logging in and seeing what they offer presently doesn't change the fact that they are making that claim. And come to think of it, how did you expect me to into a website I'll never be a part of....ever? Perhaps you should be asking them how they can justify their claim of 35% in a Nigerian economy where inflation is a near daily occurrence? Of course, they can't defend that, but they'll leave the 35% on their site, just so they can attract more gullible customers like you who are looking to more than x0.5 their money in two years without doing any real work or research.

richforever123:


Please can you point which of their investment gives 25%, just a screenshot will suffice

Also, are you aware they are ed under SEC as fund managers?

There you go!

And don't tell me you are naive enough to believe Nigeria's SEC has never ed failed or fradulent entities as fund or portfolio managers. The corruption and decadence in the country is enough to let fraud through.

maasoap:


We know all these now. Not everyone is interested in investing their money in physical business or invest their every kobo in businesses, people must have savings as against investments.



How sure are you about this? Why are they still standing if they are making bad investment decisions with their customers fund? Your comments doesn't add up

Any financial institution can make bad investment decisions without it reflecting immediately on the current customers. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it only becomes apparent when many customers decide to withdraw their investments at the same time. If Piggyvest could invest in those scammy farm investments like Agropartnerships without doing enough due diligence to be sure that they were safe investments, then how many more bad investment choices have they made without your knowing? We only knew about Agropartnerships when it became public news. Had it not become public news, we would never have known. How many more bad decisions have been succesfully cached or are currently ongoing? You should be much wiser than this. The fact that they are still standing is no indication that they are not making bad investment choices.

25% is not far from the reality of inflation in Nigeria at the moment. Commercial banks interest rates on lending is over 30%, why can't interest rates on fixed deposit be as high as 25%?

25% is very far from the "real" return on investment in Nigeria. The Nigerian market is highly volatile and unpredictable. In addition, inflation erodes real returns, and we haven;t even mentioned the fickle policy changes that can immediately affect market dynamics. If 25% were so easy to achieve without real consequences of loss, then Agropartnerships and Farmcrowdy that were offering 25% at some point would have simply gone to invest in what Piggyvest is investing in. You can argue all you want, but even commerical banks that lend at over 30% interest will never offer their own customers more than 10%. But of course, if greed is your friend, why go to First bank, as opposed to a virtual Piggyvest that doesn't release any books to customers.

Ponzi scheme companies and online wallets/ fin techs are not the same, educate yourself, don't spread fear here.

Yes, Ponzi scheme companies and online wallets are different. But Piggyvest is not just an online wallet. It's an investment platform. The major problem with it is that you and I do not know what they invest it. You don't know, I don't know. But you trust them enough to give them your money, while you are satisfied with the numbers they input for you to see on your so-called wallet.

It's quite convenient that you ignored the fact that they are not insured by the NDIC. Keep giving them your money. We'll see who will have the last laugh.

Gentle reminder that those numbers you see on Piggyvest or any bank for that matter are.....just numbers that someone or a computer input to make it look like your money is sitting pretty somewhere all the time. The reality is a little different. The actual (or real) money has gone into different investments across Nigeria and across the world; and these are investment decisions made by someone somwhere who thinks he knows better than average people. Also, some of that money has gone into private pockets and used to buy houses in London and Dubai, because (what do you know) most people aren't going to wake up one day and want to just withdraw all their money at once. Some of that money has been badly invested and generating negative returns, but of course, you the investor is never told that. Instead, they just punch more numbers into your to look like you are making money.

The whole thing falls apart when shit hits the fan and people now need their money. Piggyvest in particular is an investment platform I can never trust. One, they have track records of making bad investment choices (e.g. Agropartnerships, Farmcrowdy, etc.) which is a sad reflection of their due dilligence team, and they do not open their books to their so-called customers so that the customers know exactly what is being done with their money. They also have a track record of denying when their nyash is opened in public, e.g. with the dude from that church that they may have invested money with. They also often promise unreasonable returns that don't reflect the reality of the Nigerian economy, e.g. over 25%. And more importantly, while NDIC itself says very clearly on its instagram that piggyvest is not NDIC insured, Piggyvest on their own website claims that they are NDIC insured. The duplicity! They are also no bank, just a savings platform. But what do I know? Good luck to you all who will put your money is any hole you see on the internet, as long as some returns are flowing in. What you learnt with the fall of Agropartnerships and co, you will soon learn again with Piggyvest. And when it happens, I'll be here laughing at your foolery...because you have been warned!

🇺🇸 US aircrafts are flying coffins ✈ ⚰

The US has crashed more aircrafts this year than 🇷🇺 Russia that is fighting in a war has in 3 years.

Their problems started the day they stopped buying Russian quality titanium, special alloys and aircraft parts.

Now they're stuck with poor quality ones from other countries.

This is why Donald Trump says he wants to resume doing business with Russia very quickly. They've lost alot.

You trumpers and misinformation are like 5 and 6.

This for 4.1m? What are you smoking?

gabbasin:
Too bad, our investigation system is awful, a man was reported missing to the authorities, a dead body was taken by the police to the morgue. Police did not try to match the missing man to the dead body or at least the family to come and identify the corpse taken to morgue if it's that of the missing man. Same thing happened in the case of the Bamise lady that was murdered and thrown out of a BRT bus, Girl was declared missing, body of a lady was found and taken to the morgue but no one tried to see if it's that of the missing lady till the family find out while searching for her everywhere. I wonder what our Police mean when a person is reported missing and they said investigation is ongoing meanwhile nothing is being investigated. Corpses are being discovered and taken to the morgue but police won't try to see if the remains are that of the reported missing persons. At these Internet age with communication seamless, it shouldn't be hard for police to have pictures of corpse found on the streets taken and send to families who reported their loved ones missing for identification

It's a garbage police service. Only smart, private individuals can help them advance their skills. I can imagine a tech person deciding to create a repository of missing persons and also unidentified persons at morgues to help families connect the dots. That really could be something nice to do.

THat's Naija for you. Someone dies carelessly and life goes on. Nobody cares that much, while the family continues to bear the pain.

Heavily filtered picture

PerfectMan24:

He might not know the age that is classified as minor over there. Besides, here in Nigeria foreigners do as they like and go free with it. Nobody checkmates them & their activities.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. She must have mentioned her age and if he still went ahead, then it's on him.

I like this Pope.
I hope this Pope puts strong words out against Donald Trump, his countryman. I hope he speaks truth to power.

RodgersAkpafu:
Amd as per your final whistle

The degradation of our spoken AND written English is one small aspect, or will I say facet of our failed educational system

Yes, speaking properly does not mean you are intelligent
Amd not speaking properly doesn't mean you are NOT intelligent
Let's not conflate both
What it just means is that those who don't speak properly don't do so because they were NOT taught to do so....

Look at Scandinavia
Their education is top notch and it reflects in how they teach their people
Even how they are taught English and they speak it well in school

Again, to each his own though
As for me, I'm still working on mine

I'm totally on your side on this. I was once on an exchange in where I met with some germans and folks from a couple Scandinavia countries. For those who are well educated amongst them, you can see the effort at speaking good English, even if it's sometimes heavily accented. Germans, for example, would often pronounce "University" without using the starting "yoo" sound, jumping straight to "oo". They can't mostly because that letter does not exist in native German. That's understandable. However, they'd scarcely make the error of saying "my friends wants..." and the likes, which is just horrible grammar. In effect, you see that good education shines through, even if native proclivities hinder clear speech. Sadly, it's hard to say the same for most Nigerians and, just like you, I put this squarely at the feet of bad education. Years of bad education didn't just affect English, whereby you get English teachers in secondary schools that can't even speak English to save their lives; it also affected other subjects as well, which is no wonder why clubs like JETS that used to do so well in the 90's have pretty much faded into oblivion.

AirBay:


It's just that some of us like to make issues out of these things I cant laugh, you can't debate without putting on some of these stuffs



Well, as per your assertion I would assume that the education system in Quebec is bad because the way the a Québécois pronouce words is quite different from how a French individual that lived in Paris all their lives pronounces words.

Mali, Benin, Togo all speak french differently but if they go to , the french individual may say their education system is bad cos of their pronounciations.

So what about quebec? Dm education system is bad too? Let me drink my sobo Me sef I can say Quebec ppl speak bad French as per say my tutor was french and how she taught me to pronouce words is completely differnet. I use pardon when I speak french with people in canada because some of their pronounciations sound funny.

Its very good to want to speak the way the King of England speaks his language, I believe that's why upper caste indians (like you mentioned) and Rich Nigerians send their children to expensive schools where they can learn how to speak like the lady of isle of man .

Evidently from your words, I can come to a conclusion that all countries in the world having English as their first language (with multiple dialects) have bad education system if most of their citizens cannot pronouce/speak the Queens Language the exact way the Queen would speak.. Issokay

As for me, pronunciations or speaking a particular language fluently is not a measure of how the education system of a country should be graded.

I have worked with different people from differnet countries amd culture amd I would say the way an average Nigerian speaks beats most of these guys. Have you heard Ghanian or SA people speak? Isalright.

Dm go say dm English better our own too

Final whistle, it is normal for the kids thst gre up in the 40s 50s 60s generation to speak English better as I heard and would assume that majority of teachers in the schools are king/queen of England wardens. Children that grew up in that time will probably speak as they heard their teacher speak. Truly our education system has degraded over the years but the spoken English of an educated Nigeiran ranks among the best outside the English 5. Peace from oduduwa kingdom.... Kwenu from Igbo and Sandakata from the hausa regime..

I think you are getting it wrong. Bad pronunciation is quite different from accented English, and also totally different from just plain poor use of English. Personally, I wouldn't classify accented English as bad. I'd like to believe it's okay to speak English with some accent. People from different countries of the world will speak English differently; and so will Nigerians. I speak French too and have spoken with people from Quebec. Quebecois is slightly different from French, but it doesn't mean that someone speaking Quebecois is speaking bad French. In fact, those who speak Quebecois to each other understand themselves very well. Besides being heavily accented and using some words and expressions differently from French, it's actually not bad at all. On the contrary, it's actually sometimes hard for some Nigerians to understand each other when they speak their own English. I said "sometimes". Whether it's poor use of tense, bad grammar, use of conditionals when they shouldn't, etc, it all just adds up to really disastrous use of English most times. That's the problem! Not the accent, but the use of English.

That's what needs to be corrected firstly, not the pronunciation of words. And oftentimes, enunciation actually also helps with this. In fact, if as a Nigerian you continue to make these mistakes in an English work environment, then even the Indians will start telling you "pardon?", and then you'll be there wondering what's going on when you actually think you speak better English than them. Of course, this is not just a problem with Nigerians. It cuts across all geographies. Many don't get that good English education, after all.

I know this is a reality because my niece who was only 4 when she started at some backyard nursery and primary school in Lagos never spoke English well until we changed her school to a fairly upscale primary school in Lagos. And that's not the expensive Lekki ones; was just a much better school with higher standards and more qualified teachers. Now she enunciates her words clearly and pronounces them very well. The change in education made a significant difference. I fear that as adults set in our ways, it's just difficult to it this obvious failure in our education, and to instead bumble around and try to convince ourselves that nothing needs to change. Trust me, nobody makes it to the top without itting obvious failures and then working on it.

AirBay:


I disagree, although e no put money for my pocket. Personally i speak Yoruba, my native dialect, a bit of Finnish (studied in finland, had to learn), a bit of French (had to do TEF) and English...so if i pronouce some words and it doesnt sound like how queen of England would pronounce it, do i blame naija education system...... while learning french, sometimes i use french words in English

I forgot to add pidgin sef. I didnt grow up in lekki, so English was not my sole language

@Bolded Most of us communicate using the English lanuage while in school for 1-6hours, the rest of d day na our local/native languages.

Infact I would say students only speak English durimg class periods

I said for most, not for you. That's what the statistics show. Many in Nigeria don't speak their native or local tongue, and even when they do they speak it very poorly, certainly not as well as they supposedly speak English. That's a fact. The only problem is that they also often don't speak that English well enough.

As a simple example, how many government publications are released in local languages, compared to English? How many times has the country's president ever spoken and is interpreted in real time in the local languages? How many authors actually publish in the local languages? The reality is that the local languages in Nigeria (with the exception of Pidgin, maybe) are used sufficiently less and less that there's real worry the that they will soon fade into oblivion.

AirBay:


They cant hear most people because they trying to speak like them and too fast

Nigerians should stop forming oyinbo accents and speak normally. There is nothing wrong with our accents.

Americans cannot pick up when British ppl speak, Australians hate American accents. Even English people struggle when scottish or welsh people speak.

Wetin philipino, mexican, india people go say if you say Nigerian accent is bad, na our people dy form accent wy there tongues are not made for. Nothing problematic about the way we speak.

He made a good point. The difference between those people and us is that for many of them English is not even their first language, e.g. Mexico. There's no reason we should enunciate our words clearly and speak fairly understandably, given that for most of us English is the sole language. The point was well made that years of bad education has caused incredible regression.

bookholla:
Good morning all,
Pls I have a concern about a health condition. Does anyone know if being hepatitis b positive can impact on PR application? Is it enough reason to get a negative response at the medical stage of the process?

The simple answer is "no, it's absolutely not enough reason to have a negative response". With hepatitis b, you can still get your PPR.

The longer answer is that any health situation, regardless what it is, can affect your application if it will put significant stress on the Canadian health system. What constitutes significant stress will be determined by the examining doctor. But if you have always managed your viral load well and it is reduced such that you are healthy, Hepatitis B shouldn't be a problem that will cause significant impact on the country's healthcare system.

malakiMal:
Hey guys,

I’m in a very tricky situation and I need some advice from people here from different walks of life before I make my decision.

I’m currently in Canada 26 years of age, and in a serious dilemma.

I’m currently trying to get PR and it seems I have a couple of options with its own uncertainty pros and cons, and I need advice from you guys after getting advice from a lawyer.

My base CRS points is 476

And I have a few things I can do to circumvent this low score:

1. Foreign Work Experience:
I have 7 months of valid work experience in Tech in Nigeria, but that’s the problem… it’s just 7 months and I need a full year. But I also did NYSC and have access to a person at my PPA that can give me reference letter, and have all documents I need to my NYSC experience. But I wasn’t paid for the NYSC except the government pay of 33k. My lawyer said NYSC can’t be used to claim foreign experience but I’ve heard stories of people using theirs. So I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully used NYSC **Recently** to get PR. This would bring my points to a respectable 526.

2. Marriage
This I really don’t want to do, but I have a child coming (Canadian citizen) with a woman here. The pregnancy was a mistake but she wants a child so she kept it and I also agreed to help out. I don’t like her enough to marry her, but seeing my circumstances I might be forced to. She really likes me and I think I can convince her to a marriage, but this is not something I would like to do ATALL. Lawyer said it’s my best chance since we already have a kid together, it’s almost a slam shut case I would get it with this route. But the girl is very bipolar, she can switch up at any moment and lawyer warned me that her switching up could also hurt my chances as much as it can help my chances.

3. Refugee
This is the worst option, as I went to undergrad school in the UK, did nysc, worked in Nigeria and moved to Canada. It will be very hard to argue that I had issues, but mehn I need anything at this point.

4. Go back home & get the remaining 5 months experience
We all know how Nigeria is, this is a death choice, I’m basically giving up with this option. But I have 7 months of foreign experience right now, I can go back to Nigeria and find work for the remaining 5 months (gods willing) and then apply with my points at 536, and I will have to wait for ITA in Nigeria. This is most likely the safest option but the most mentally devastating one.

Please folks I NEED your advice as I only have 8-9 months left in Canada, time is running out and I need something to use an option and stick to it, but I’m not sure which route to go.

Thank you!

Bro, that NYSC is what you need. You need to fight, try your best and shoot for that. It works and works well. That's all you need.

Chevrolet076:


My question is that, why is the guy so hell bent about you ing? Nigerians that I know would rather say "na God o" or its grace, instead of showing you the way. so why is this person so interested in you ing?

No other reason than referral bonus which he makes off the new ers. The Ponzi scheme on the other hand needs new recruits to pay older ones, so they continue to share out referral codes. It's simple maths

SmellingAnus:
As much as I don't even agree with Pastor Ibiyeomie on some of his teachings, but it would have been better if these Pastors bring out scriptures to counter the Pastor and show where Jesus visited a poor man or woman so that some of us that are ignorant can learn... Let me leave it for senior Pastors of Nairaland, please show us scriptures where Jesus visited a poor man or woman so that ignorant people like me can learn...

You see, that an argument is correct by omission does not mean it's correct. Jesus's job in the Bible was not to visit as many people as possible. He likely visited no more than 5 or 6 people, but if all the people he visited were rich, it's still no indication that he wasn't more aligned with the poor than he was with the rich. This is a clear twisting of the foundation of the Bible by this prosperity preacher, because literally the whole theme of the Bible centres around how being poor is more acceptable to God than material wealth. Maybe if this supposed pastor can bring out an evidence in the Bible where a rich man went to heaven without having to give up their riches first, then it would make sense to say being materially wealthy is favoured by God or Jesus. In many parables and in other clear teachings, I think Jesus made it fairly obvious that material wealth impedes, rather than enables eventual access to God or to his kingdom. This is even an undisputable fact and it's almost comical at this stage to be arguing about it. But then, what do I know, there's no spinning these pastors won't pursue if it increases the stream of cash flow into their bank s.

Bobloco:
Did God really call this so-called man of God?

I mean, were they genuinely called by God to be a man of God, or did they just take that title on themselves?

God did not call anybody. God, if he exists, does not call anybody. Anybody can call themselves and claim that God called them. Sadly, enough gullible people believe the contrary for this to be a thriving business in Nigeria. That's why a silly pastor like this can preach an obvious lie and many will still swallow it hook, line and sinker. It's a cult, a cult of personality, and nothing anyone says changes the minds of these simpletons.

realsamsonite1:
Hello everyone,

I would like to share details of a recent visa denial with you, with the hope that I can get some guidance. I am a canadian PR working in the US, while my fiancee who applied and got denied a canada vistor's visa is based in Nigeria. She has a sister who is a canadian citizen, who invited her. She has applied for a visitors visa twice and got denied on both occasion. The first was last year when she requested to come spend time with her sister, she was denied stating she did not have enough economic and financial ties in Nigeria. ps-she provided her 6 months pay slip, letter from employer stating she is going on leave, and bank statements then.

For the recent denial, she was already engaged to me, but we thought it was better the sister still invites her, as they have legal association. We only plan to have our wedding in Canada, during this visit, before she finally moves to the US. To the application this time around, we provided purchased return tickets, letter of leave from employer, pension statements, tax returns, shares documents, proof of address in Nigeria, letter of introduction from church, family photos, past travel documents, and invitation letter from her sister, as well as her sister's bank statements. However, the visa was still denied. I have now requested GCMS notes and I plan to reapply myself stating that she wants to come for our wedding which is scheduled for July. I wanted to know what we are doing wrong and what steps could be taken to ensure that we meet the July date for her to be in Canada.

Thank you all for your help.

Very likely your new application will be denied again. For two reasons:

-first, this new application shows she's visiting for the purpose of marriage (or immigration) which is generally frowned on by visa officers. The idea is that once she gets married, she doesn't have to leave, which is a problem.

-second, if they get a whiff of the idea that her final destination is the US, it gets even tougher. This only means she's not just visiting Canada, but could likely be using the visa as a launching pad into the US. This is also generally frowned upon.

Of course there are exceptions, but honestly I don't see this working. They have no incentive to give her a visit visa if it looks very clear that she just wants to ultimately migrate with it. More especially because she's Nigerian. It was already difficult simply getting the visa using her sister.

The visa officer will also question why you can't just go to Nigeria, marry her and file for spousal family visa. Plus how many trips have you made yourself to Nigeria to visit her to establish that she really is your financée. If you can't prove multiple trips, how can you prove you have been seeing each other a while. This looks dead on arrival to me. They are just going to cite some flimsy lack of economic ties and deny her.

Your best bet is to go to Nigeria, marry her and file for spousal visa.

Live this Life in the Consciousness of your Eternity.
Live prepared for Eternity . Eternity is a Serious Matter.
Don't play with your Soul.
Heaven is Real! Hell Fire is real!

If you Miss Heaven! You cannot Miss Hell Fire!
If you Miss Heaven! You will Cry!
If you Miss Heaven! You will repent by Force, but it will be too late. As their is no repentance in the grave.

NOW is the TIME ACCEPTED!
THE NEXT MOMENT IS NOT GUARANTEED!

Una and all these threats and fear mongering. It's time for you to grow up and stop wearing those your baby pants.
