Nigerians Scammed By Asians In Ukraine.

     This is for all Nigerian Students planning to come study in Ukraine, It’s a good thing come and study here, as we all know what it means to study in Europe, but the most important thing to do first is to get enough information before involving/committing yourself to anything, In Ukraine here, the general language is Russian/Ukrainian, there's a language barrier, though that’s a minor thing, what seem to be the major problem is the people you deal with in the process of getting admission in schools, you need to be very careful, and that seem to be the first step in the whole thing, what I'm getting at is, here in Ukraine Asians seem to be many in the admission business, they're all scammer, no matter how they sweet-talk you, please do not fall for it, they will scam you, and there’s nothing you or anybody can do about it, if you try to be smart, you will be "deported" because they have a very good connection with the Immigration at the airport.
      There's nothing wrong with studying here in Ukraine, this is how it works, when you get admitted in any school here in Ukraine, you'll be sent an Invitation to study by the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, to get admitted in the school you need to go through an agent, to help you through all necessary processes, so you are coming to the country through the agent, that’s recommended, the invitation will help you secure your visa in Ukrainian Embassy in Nigeria.
     Now you have your visa, normally you have to inform the school and your agent that you will coming, so as to make arrangements to pick you up at the airport, here’s where the nightmare happens, at the airport, your agent must have got rights from your school to pick you at the airport, so they can only release you to him, (You must have someone to pick you at the airport, its recommended) there at the airport he demands for your school fees and some money to settle the Immigration, if you’re trying to be smart, asking why you have to pay your schools at the airport, you are making him want to tell the immigration to send you back, they will listen to him not you. Normally you are not suppose to pay school fees at the airport. (For what nah?) But he(The agent) will ask you to give him your fees so he can help you pay, that you don’t need to do any wahala, if you obey, which you must obey, he will pay half of your school fees, that’s if he’s kind enough to pay half, some of them won’t pay at all, he will tell the school that you will pay up after few days, that you don’t want to travel with too much cash, and after few days in school, the school will wonder why you have to come all over from your country and not having money to pay your fees, and you know what happens next, so the best thing to do is to avoid all ASIAN AGENTS, no matter the connection, even if it’s your friend, relations that introduce you don’t deal with them, or through internet. Their are Nigerian Agent here, who are very honest and trustworthy to deal with.
     Agents Company names like EduConsult (Yousuf Khan), Amrik, Raja Veron, and or any Asian name, please avoid them, more names will be posted later I’m telling you this from what I saw, I’m not assuming…,   

stay in your country.

thats why I keep advising that people should go through the people that are trusted and work directly with the Embassy here directly in facilitating studying in Ukraine

Ukrainian Centre for Educaton, Socio-Cultural Centre, Golonto, Ikorodu opposiye Mallo filling station is the place to go to . . .

I have an in-law who is enjoying studies in Ukraine by virtue of having gone thru UCESC . . . .

Badguuy u have said the whole truth. I am verry happy that nigerians are no more keeping quite cos it has been happening for long and no body seems to speak out causing those coming to face thesame problems we faced when we arived. last year i made this type of post but  i had enemies and lots of things followed cos i  had my profile complete with my contacts so i was easily traced. But what i want to say is that all those planing to come to study in ukraine should be verry careful i am not ready to mention names this time around the truth is bitter but i am not afraid to say it, for asians count them out they are 100% not pure and some nigerians too are also not pure that is the truth, some Nigerians too collect fees from student even from nigeria and here in ukraine(i have exibits of some nigerians following these practice and some nigerians also work for this asians. You in Zaparozhye, i will not mention your name but you know yourself and what you are doing be verry careful your days are numbered, you are a nigerian and u are doing this to your fellow nigerians how will you feel if it where to be your brother or sister that falls victim)for those charging $500 for invitation what is the money for please we are all nigerians these are our brothers and sisters lets be fair please. i am not against someone trying to make some money by assisting student to study in ukraine but why not make your charges fair. Some nigerians also charge like the asians.  $1,000 to $1,500 is too much for someone to get from one person when school fees is $2,200 he tells u it is $4,000 that's not fair. Also dont pay your school fees to anybody. If any agent ask for your fees, know that you are already at the wrong place. I will advice u to call this no. +380677188875 and confirm your agent before u go into any transaction with him or her it will help u. I know all of them but i dont want to mention names cos it was not a nice experience last year when i did and what ever i tell u just do it its for your own good don't call for me to assit you get invitation to study or assist you at the embassy i am not an agent thrugh this post i only want to assit you go thru the right person thats all. Please dont call for admission or invitation letter only to cornfirm your agent here in ukraine.

I will like to share my own opinion with the pple coming to study in Ukraine, I came to Ukraine through the Ukrainian Centre for Educaton at Socio-Cultural Centre, Golonto, Ikorodu opposite Mallo filling station,  Lagos state in Nigeria.These firm is in conjuction with an asian firm in Ukraine, they don't have a direct contacts here in the Ukraine,  they have been scamming ppl on picking them up at the port of entry, I mean on arrival. Their agent here will collect all your tuition and accomodation fee, even your feeding fee on arrival, and put you inside the train, that someone is going to pick you up at your destination, no one you will meet there, and the person collected your monies has gone, u will only be stranded here. Please avoid UKRAINIAN CENTER FOR EDUCATION, they are scammer, fraudster, Please fellow Nigerians, kindly stay in your country, No job in Ukraine , No money in Ukraine, Ukraine is a dry land, I will be back to nigeria this summer to advise you new students to stay home, what i am saying now may seem to you that it is not real BUT it is real, A word is enough for a Wise,

hi too am dealing with him this is the mssg he send to my e-mail
