I followed my oga spikec advise to pay for my tuition fee with my GTB mastercard and it all went fine at the rate of 270 to 1 pounds yesterday |

Bambamzzzz: I followed my oga spikec advise to pay for my tuition fee with my GTB mastercard and it all went fine at the rate of 270 to 1 pounds yesterday I'm not sure you used the Form A thingy to pay your fees, or did you? Would have been way cheaper. Gtb hit my account too hard when I paid fees with my M/card simply because someone wanted me to go to naija and teach'em how to do the Form A thingy. I think the Form A is better n cheaper for fees |

paradisewoods: Lamely put, Form A is the CBN's way of making students pay their fees at the cbn rated thru their banks. So you get your payment details, submit it to ur bank, fill the form A, submit other supporting documents like the statement showing your pending fees, etc. And they deduct the fees equivalent from your account, with the cbn rate which is cheaper than bank rates, and pay directly to ur uni. HTH |

paradisewoods: Please house, which is better and cheaper in buying Due to the nature of exchange rates, that question is difficult to answer. The rate was #265 per £ last Friday (ATM) and was #270 per £ yesterday (POS) and today it was a high #274 per £ (POS). So, tell me how best to answer your question? . 1 Like |

paradisewoods: Please house, which is better and cheaper in buying You may come in with about 1-2k pounds and make use of your cards for subsequent withdrawals. You go just dey monitor the exchange rates and quickly run go withdraw some more if the rates don fall |

tjbrown: pls guys where can I change naira to pounds in Lagos. Can someone travel with only MasterCard with the hope of withdrawing at ATM machine in the airport You can use your Mastercard to withdraw at Heathrow. Make sure it's any other bank but Firstbank because those people are so useless. For the third time, my card has been declined this time at primark today..GT Mastercard to the rescue again. I'm going to call them tomorrow and I know they will certainly have another rubbish to tell me. And they won't sell PTA. |

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by 3sha4lyf: 3:53pm On Sep 19, 2014 |
GeneralShepherd: If yes, you better use it to SMS d person to call you back or you beep the person steadily cos e no get how you wan take explain "I'm coming out now" or meet me in front of xyz" when ur roaming with naija network. Only "hello" sef, na die. But I've heard with Etisalat, if u top up with 5k, u can receive calls free in the UK when u roam ON T-MOBILE Network for one month. |
