meagainstdem:Make sure ur supervisor is not Neco nor Falowo. You can try Doldo but Doldo will not assist you academically, but he is nice, Neco and Falowo will frustrate you. UCT is the "wrongest" place for electrical but as a naija person you will pull through |

sovpounds:Hello bro can one get a job there?or is it a good place for business? |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by meagainstdem: 11:14am On Oct 02, 2015 |
staggerlee: @ staggerlee, Thanks for that brief hint. In actual sense, Neco is my supervisor and seems to be (virtually) nice to me. He assisted in pinning down my admission because I'v had to defer it 3 times. Funny enough for Falowo, he happens to be my lecturer here in Nigeria during my final year days in d university. I approached him for supervision first but later referred me to Dlodlo and Neco saying he already had enough student for that year. For Dlodlo, he accepted being my supervisor but cautioned me on the topic I first chose. I finally turned to Neco who accepted me all through. To me, one cannot have PhD cheaply anywhere in the world except you want to buy your way through which hardly happens anywhere also. If I can recollect your quote, Neco and Falowo are frustrating while Dlodlo will not help academically, but nice. So out of the three who is the best? Finally, I think what one needs in sailing through is the usual hardwork backed by thorough prayers for uncommon favours. Once again, thanks a bunch. Please I will appreciate if I can get your email or phone number so we can talk one on one. |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by staggerlee: 12:14pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
meagainstdem:Ok then wish u the best, Neco has a lot of students who have not graduated, even at masters level, I know a guy masters student, he went behind him and submitted his thesis, the external examiner passed him, Neco said his thesis didn't make sense, and the guy didn't graduate, the guy will push student to write papers, but won't contribute, if you need a letter from your supervisor to support maybe an application for scholarship, the guy will dull you. But all the best. When u come in I will get your digits and call you |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by staggerlee: 12:26pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
meagainstdem: Dlodlo's students graduate on time, how? I don't know, if u need any letter from ur supervisor to support any application he is willing to help. He is a nice man, good @ heart, but his knowledge in the academic world is shallow, Neco sef knows nothing, some even says he has no masters and he will push u without contributing, Falowo is dumb, you have to do eye service for falowo, very petty guy. There is a guy mungu, he is sound but a saddist, all of the by and large are sick, UCT is a good school, but electrical is bleeped, they just use the name of UCT, but students in electrical go thru hell, must masters students that graduate in electrical go elsewhere to get phd |

[quote author=staggerlee post=38594038] Imagine. Just in the name of having PhD. Nowhere in Nigeria is better either. I have friends that we finished masters together about six years ago and started their PhD immediately,up till now they and their supervisors are playing hide and seek game. In UK, some of our friends are shouting. They always link their plight to poor Nigeria background. Only in Malaysia I see some of my bosses finishing on time. God help us. U didn't respond to the mail I asked. Pls tell me about UCT and Cape Town generally. Thanks |

Same with restaurant and pub |

Keneking: Not too sure, especially about the latter because, according to SA government, they are not too keen on having such industries being promoted - and certainly not by foreigners. However, I can acknowledge that the real situation on ground may prove you less wrong than I'm suggesting. |

Pls is it a must that I must have working permit? If yes how will I get that |
Re: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by Nobody: 9:41pm On Oct 04, 2015 |
princebaby: Wonderful question! You don't sound like you even have a plan. You seem to just wanna up and bolt to South Africa to "hustle" without the slightest clue of how difficult life is there even for South Africans (blacks particularly) who are fed up with migrants trooping in blindly to compete with them for the little hope they have left. This usually ends up in one of two ways: 1. Visa abuse and violation leading to illegal residence and adding to the growing statistic of Nigerians dragging our name in the mud. 2. Target of hate and xenophobia when it becomes obvious you had no plan but to add to South Africa's many unsolved problems. Use your head. Think ahead! 1 Like |

Hi Nairalanders, I would like to know if the documents are required to be submitted in B/W or coloured? I am planning to apply for a tourist visa and a lot of things are going through the head because this happens to be my first visa application. Thanks |

princebaby:One of the best types of informal skills that sells in SA is any skill related to autos/cars. General mechanic Car spray painting Panel beating Auto-electrical Wheel aligning Windscreen fixing Car diagnostics. Also electrical skills are good too. Even if it takes one year to learn and perfect any of these skills before coming, you won't regret it and it will pay you. There are lots of cars in SA due to the simple car credit system, hence the opportunity for skilled auto jobmen to make money. Don't come to SA without a good SCIENCE degree, enough capital for business (at least 700k) or mastering a good skill (auto or electrical are best in my opinion). If you come to SA without any of the three things listed, you might end up on the street and forced to sell drugs. Again, not even all drug sellers get rich. Some of them can't even pay their rent or feed. I'm not discouraging anyone from coming to SA (truth is, SA is far better than naija), but having a plan and purpose before coming is vital. Life here has made me realized that nigerians are extra-ordinary people. The hustling spirit in us is unique and unmatched ( even though I don't support the illegal trades most of us indulge in). I've seen lots of us go from NOTHING to SOMETHING. That's partly why they hate us. #BigDreams# 4 Likes |
