Even more better, USM is ranked second best University in the Country.

Hi, I'm going for my PH.D in USM next week, I tried contacting some banks here if they could process the paying of school fees, but all of them said they only pay school fees in dollars.
of which, USM specifically requested for fees to be paid only in ringgit.
Now I'm thinking about money gram. Like, I should get there first then husband should send d money to me via money gram. That way the black market rate might be avoided to some extent and my naira won't spoil totally. But I heard it's hard for Nigerians to receive money via money gram in Malaysia.


Please, how true is this?
And for those that are already there, USM, specifically, how are you paying your fees without changing money at black market.

Scash:
And please what's the current naira to ringgit rate?

Where can I convert it in Naija? I leave for Malaysia this Monday, so please, urgent responses desperately needed.

Thank you.

Scash:
Thank you so much Truth and allhavesinned.

Is it advisable to travel without my school fees then? So it can be sent via money gram when I get there?

I have 1,500myr with me in cash. can that suffice as travelling allowance?

Scash:
190,000 naira?

Hi, sorry if my questions seems repetitive. I learnt immigration in Nigeria also demand for this BTA. Student or no. I'm thinking about risking it all and just travelling with 1,500myr. Using my ATM and or money gram would be better. But I'm truly scared and wondering what could be the worse case scenario with the Nigerian immigration

I think she means previous poster that is scash.
Seriously the exchange rate isn't smiling at all. I am planning to hold a maximum $1500 at hand while traveling.
@scash, please try to share your POE experience with us when you have settled. I intend going to USM this September for masters though mine will be at the engineering campus.

So guys... I got to MMIA yesterday, met an immigration officer that first made a complaint about my foodstuff (the only one I took was beans and dried fish) he said something about endorsing them somewhere, I didn't really get what he was saying, cos he himself didn't look like he knew what he was really talking about. Then he said what would I give him...?

I just laughed like oga nothing dey o. that really upset him so he kept on talking on and on about the beans. Well, I had someone close by, I was ready to drop it. When be saw that he changed tactics and just asked... your BTA nko? How much you get? Told him 1500rm and some dollars. How much dollars? About 500.

WHAT?? Wetin you wan take 500$ do? it's not enough at all. I had better drop something before he start checking my papers. my papers were very okay bt by then, he was really delaying as ppl had started to board. I was so sure he ll let me miss my flight, so i made the mistake of saying pardon me. next time ill hold enough.

Pardon you? pardon you? what do you mean...
lol.. luckily for me it was around the time they were changing shifts, so he just told me to follow him and handed me over to one guy. Recounted my offences and stormed off. That new guy just asked for my undergrad certificate and admission letter. Told a woman to stamp d admission then he asked me to go.

met anoda guy that started on my beans again. He was about starting problems so I gave him 1k. Then he let me go.

No issues at KLIA. at all. no beans or BTA prob. they didn't even ask for BTA.
But I got to the waiting lounge and called the guy that was supposed to be the one that would be my pickup... he was surprised I was around and said I didn't inform him prior to my coming. Duh, I called you on Friday...
in short accomodatn and the pickup was cancelled. I just got myself a night bus to Penang, it's taking off 10pm. so I got like 6 hours to spare sitting and sitting and looking around. Wld get an hotel when I get to Penang God's willing.

That's my little update.
Good luck to the rest of u guys with our MMIA immigration. Truly epic guys!
