It has been a long time I posted here. I want to thank God for my life, I came into RSA in March 2015 for my Master degree and i graduated last month with my MEng Electrical Eng. In the course of it I got a Critical Skill Work Permit in Lagos last year December. I came back to RSA this January, after securing a little job, I applied for my Permanent Residence Permit in RSA on 03/05/2017 and it was issued to me on 04/06/2017, I mean I got it in 30 days instead of the usual 8-10 months. Nah God o! Now, I am a Permanent Resident of RSA, I can bring my wife and children anytime I like now and probably relocate to ......

Life in RSA is not easy if you don't plan well because you may end up using all your money to pay rent, which is heavy, but if you are focus, plan well and God help you, then you will make head-way.

I am currently registering for my PhD.

God bless us all.
