Hello Mr. Wip7 I got admission into EMU for undergraduate studies - B.S Software Engineering.... I prefer Information Technology to that course, what do you think I should do cos i never knew there's B.S in Information Technology in the first place...... Also, I already got an appointment from the embassy slated for 4th January '16 and my intended travel date is 25th January '16 but I think I saw something on this thread that its better to wait till February 20s before traveling over, what do you think I should do about the appointment at the embassy? Do people love article writers over there too? Thanks for your prompt response as always.... Best Regards |

Pls good morning everyone , I will like to apply for nursing program in one of the cheap tuition fee university in southern Cyprus but yet my agent told me I will be able work and save fees for the second year since I will be able to pay for first year before I leave Nigeria , my questions are How is life in southern cyprus Can one get a manageable job aleast with out stressing oneself much, , wud need a cool reply about southern part of cyprus how life is now 2016 |
Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by wip7: 8:14pm On Jun 13, 2016 |
ovusbaby: No no no dont listen to your agent oooo...I only advise all prospective students to have adequate fund to pay the tuition and accommodation throughout their program. The common and easily accessed jobs in South Cyprus are hotel and restaurant for ladies. As a student, you have a limitation of time to work legally in south Cyprus. The laws in south for student working is slightly different from those of north Cyprus. The money you earn from these jobs may cover daily or weekly living expense or most cases pay your accommodation but may not be able to cover your tuition fees and accommodation both. It will be great if you have at least tuition and accommodation fees for 2-3yrs and if you are lucky to find job then you can save towards the last year than for you to struggle and become depress from second year. Kindly note: jobs are not easy to find, living expenses is high and combining Nursing and energy-dependent job is not easy. Am not saying you should not come South Cyprus oooooo but am telling you the RAW truth based on below facts: 1. I have access to both south and North Cyprus. I live in the north and visit south anytime I want (note: only people from north with right documents or certain nationality can access south for now from north) 2. I studied in North 3. Am Asst. Professor working in the North 4. I deal with student recruitment, listen to students stories, and have practical knowledge of both countries. Worked with the international and registration office of universities here (this exposed me further to complains and illicit trade of these agents) The ball is in your court ...play well ONLY....must of these agents are just out there to milk unaware students, lots of them are less educated, lied to prospective students, most of them believe in miracles.

House help please. Neu bursary is demanding $100 for my transcript to be forwarded to a uni in Germany and I think that's tomuch for a single transcript to be forwarded to another school. I already did two annuals here and I want to transfer to another country, Is that amount not tomuch for the procedure? p.s North Cyprus is good state and a student with well to do sponsor/sponsors you're good to come over. 1 Like |

Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by kheme(m): 2:07pm On Nov 28, 2017 |
Alexkene: Hello Alexkene, Spring semester is from February/March to June, while Fall semester is from September/October to January. There is a summer break (usually about 3 months) between Spring and Fall semesters, which spans from the end of June, towards the end of September. Between Fall and Spring semesters, there is a few weeks break (usually less than a month). So if you start in Spring (February 2018), your first year will end at the end of Fall, which is around January. I hope this is clear enough. |

I wish to apply for a master program in cyprus Please which school is accepting students now |
Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by kheme(m): 9:32pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
lonlytroy: All schools are accepting applications for the Spring 2018 semester. However, I only work with the following schools in Northern Cyprus: - Near East University - Cyprus International University - European University of Lefke In you're interested in any of these schools through me, I could process your admission into one of them for Spring 2018 intake. You can email me via info@deqeoconsulting.info |
Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by NwaMary1: 4:26pm On Jan 11, 2018 |
Thank you for the good work you're doing Please can one doing masters in Cyprus transfer to another country during the course of the program? |
Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by kheme(m): 8:26am On Jan 13, 2018 |
NwaMary1: Yes you can, provided you have your transcript complete up to the previous semester. If you're not aware of how transfers work, let me try to explain. The school you're transferring to will assess your transcript and see how it matches with the department you're transferring into. Whichever course you passed in your transcript, will be removed from the curriculum of the department you're transferring to (if it's present). So for instance, if you passed 10 courses that are present in the new departments curriculum, and you not have to do those courses again. What's left, minus those 10 courses, is what you will take. It does not work like in Nigeria where you can transfer to "200 level" or something like that. Just so you know. I hope my explanation was clear enough. |
Re: Nigerians Living In Cyprus by 3trillion: 11:16am On Mar 26, 2018 |
According to kastamonu(a nairalander that studied in north cyprus for 4years) Yes, it is true that it is never rosy no matter where you go in Europe or America but the case of North Cyprus is much more difficult and pathetic. Here are reasons why it would be wiser to go to somewhere way better, than going to North Cyprus to work and study. I just completed my studies in North Cyprus, after spending four years of undergraduate studies, I know exactly what I am talking about here. 1. North Cyprus is not a country; it is not recognized as a country by the rest of the world; not by the United Nations or the European Union. Rather, it is a Turkish occupied territory. This is evident by the two flags used in the country; the Turkish flag and the North Cyprus flag. Both flags always stand side by side. North Cyprus relies on Turkey for everything even for soldiers to protect them. 2. The language spoken in North Cyprus is not English but Turkish. So students from Nigeria find it very difficult to adapt and settle down. 3. There are no good jobs. One of the ways through which travel agents deceive young Nigerians to go to North Cyprus, is to lie to them that there are very good jobs waiting for them in North Cyprus, but in truth there are no good jobs for students, not even in the universities (where they would be studying). The Universities offer students jobs in the library and information center with a pay that is less than N20,000 per month. Aside this, the jobs outside the universities are quite pitiful; because they are menial and very difficult jobs like construction, furniture making, bricklaying, painting and for ladies only cleaning jobs. These obviously are not jobs for students who hope to earn some money while studying. Like other students in North Cyprus, I had no other option but to do these jobs and trust me when I say, it was not easy to do them and at the same time go to school. Most times your academic suffer; you come from work, weak as a 'fried plantain' and you can not even open a page of your text book to study because you fall asleep almost immediately. By the way, these jobs are very difficult to find and the language barrier does not help. 4. You can never get a job with your certificate or diploma even after completion of your studies. In my four years here in North Cyprus, I have never seen a black man working in a good or reputable company. They never give foreigners or blacks jobs with their certificates. 4. Even you are able to get a job (a menial job), you get paid peanuts. The money would never be able to pay your school fees. Maybe it could be able to take care of your house rent and other bills but in the end you would be left with next to nothing to save. 5. You are openly cheated or exploited. After getting a job, you get paid in Turkish Lira (the official currency used in North Cyprus). But the irony is that you pay your house rent in pounds or euro. Even your school fees is paid in pounds, euro or dollars and not in the local currency which is much lower than the foreign currencies; thus you are losing money faster than water been poured in a basket. Hence you hardly save any money at the end of the month. 6. There is a high level of racism. This is not only obvious from how you are stared at when you walk on the streets or how you are treated when you go looking for jobs but actually what happens when you start working. Like I said earlier, the only available jobs are very difficult and there is an unwritten law that foreigners never get paid the same amount as citizens (turkish or cypriot), no matter how long you have been living in the country. Thus you and a citizen could be doing the same job but you get paid less than him. On the average, you get paid 50 turkish lira ($22/3,500 naira) per day while a citizen gets paid 100 tl ($45/N7,500) which is double what you earn. Sometimes you may be forced, by the owner or management of the company you work for, to do extra hours but the citizens never do extra hours. 7. Lastly another clear example of racism here in North Cyprus is the fact that a student of Cyprus International University, Gabriel Soriwei, was knocked down by a by a drunken female driver (a citizen). He fell into a coma; his dad came from Nigeria to see him while he was in the hospital. He recovered and was able to speak. But two weeks after his dad left for Nigeria, Gabriel died from a heart attack which was a direct result of the injuries he suffered from the accident. However, it took the efforts a relative of the Soriwei family, who stormed into a conference organized by agents from Cyprus International University who came to Nigeria to get students, before an a condolence message was sent to the family of Gabriel by the authorities of Cyprus International University. More disturbing and annoying, is the fact that the Soriwei family, till date, do not know the lady who knocked and killed their son; they don't even know what she looks like because the North Cyprus government and police refused to reveal the identity of the lady even after several messages from the boy's family that they just want to see her; that they have no intention of pressing charges. How sad... *Note: If you have hopes of coming to North Cyprus to find a white girl or woman that would open doors of opportunity for you, you are mistaken and you better have a rethink. The turkish or cypriot ladies have no interest in black, more even they are racists, sometimes they even run away from you when you try to talk to them. Also the language barrier does not even encourage you to go out to search for a white girl who could possibly become your girlfriend or wife. Lastly, if you are still in Nigeria and you intend to go abroad to study and possible work to get a better life for yourself, remove Cyprus from your list of possible countries to go. You would be better served going to a 'European' country like Germany, Spain or Italy where you could find better jobs and get better pay. If you are thinking of going to South Cyprus, also have a rethink because things are even worse there. ................to be forewarned, is to be forearmed.....All visa agents are only interested in your money and NEVER your well being. 3 Likes 1 Share |
