Don't pay any random person your money, as advised. It will end in premium tears.
If you are struggling to pay the application fee, use pay4me as the last result.

Hello everyone,

I have a Nigerian passport and a British residence permit. I want to book a return flight with Turkish airlines from Heathrow to Lagos and I’d like to ask if I’ll need a transit visa at Istanbul for a short Layover.

Generally 🇹🇷 won't require transit visa
If you're not leaving the airport and you've a valid UK visa.

hi boss I need to ask u a question about US

LovePeaceJoy:
I actually don't have those issues with winter. Winter is actually my favorite season and I look forward to the snow/cold. I hate heat and love cold..lol

In your case, take your Vitamin D/ C /Fish oil/ Collagen supplements, keep a great medicinal candle burning for great respiration, take enough liquids, great skincare and get a good humidifier - invest in warm clothings, gloves, hats, boots too.

As for jobs, keep pushing and applying - people have dropped enough resources here on that. Came here 2 years ago for my masters, got a job before graduation of over $150k and just had my company/business registered this January. It will all work out for you. All the best.

Hi everyone.

Please I have a question about utilities, kindly provide inputs.

I currently live in a 4 bedroom apartment (with others), where utilities are included in the rent , it is a school hostel. I have no idea the specific cost of utilities because we pay directly to the institution through a portal.

I intend to move into my own apartment soon and I’ve been hunting, most apartments that I see, have no utilities included in the rent.

People that pay for utilities separately, how much do you spend monthly please? E.g electricity , gas, internet , water
I will like to factor that, before choosing an apartment.

Thank you.

Utilities vary state by state
The realtor or estate agent should have an estimate for you.

Also ask those living in the apartment building

Electricity can vary on your use
Water should be the same every month
Imternet usually there's a certain provider for the building I doubt internet can be more than 80usd if up to that.

Hi, Welcome to DFW !!! I live within the metroplex as well. For jobs, are you seeking for jobs specific to your field? Or any other field..

I would advise you constantly check the career portals of major engineering coys like texas instruments, salesforce etc. We have quite a few within the metroplex.

You may also register with major recruitment agencies like roberthalf, davron.net and nesc.com ( you can also use google to your advantage)

This land will favor you. Once again, welcome !

Unless you are searching for a serviced apartment, most times, tenants pay their utilities separately. Typical, you may budget an extra 150 bucks for "nepa", water and gas...for internet, you may call any major isp within your choice area to find out their plans for an apartment. Spectrum, ATT, Verizon, Tmobile all have good plans.

Best of luck !

Hi, and welcome to Texas. If you have the required documents that can let you work legally in the United States like ur EAD or PR, you can start applying for professional jobs in your field. Go to Google, linkedln, indeed to search. Also, I will suggest you evaluate your result., and maybe take one or two professional exams to give you an edge. You can get cheap classes on udemy especially during their sales, that can prepare you for the exam.

But if you do not have the required documents to work, that's another route entirely.

Good morning Mr Justwise and Mr DisGuy. I just saw that the two of you are the director of this particular section on nairaland. I love this section so much. Kudos to you.

The reason I reach out to you is because there's no thread for Nigerian community living in the US on nairaland. But if there is such thread, direct me to it, and this one can be taken down. I wish this could serve as one and in years to come, we will look back and see what we've achieved here by the grace of God.
