I just applied to Taylor's College in Sydney. I'm to study for the University of Sydney Foundation Program for a year, then later to the University of Sydney. I heard people talking about South Africa here on NL, does it mean they don't heave embassy in Nigeria. Pls I need ur help asap.

Hello House,
I am moving to Australia Jan/Feb 2012 for studies (M.S in Petroleum) but not sure where to attend yet; UWA, Uni of Adelaide or UNSW. UNSW will have a lot of international students but I know accommodation will be expensive. I don"t know anything about Adelaide or Perth. I need information as to which city is best to live and work for Nigerians. I'm a citizen so my tuition will be covered but need income for living expenses. I do not plan on working in a corperate world yet so I need something to get by while in school. How is the accommodation also where to avoid and what to look for. I am not concern about racism but I need somewhere safe. Nigerians down under, I need your help, personal experiences (like what not to do when moving to AUS) and any additional info.
PM me,

Thank you,

Hi,

I live and work in Sydney. Although, i'm less than 2 months here now, but I hardly see Nigerians in Sydney, apart from the few people I do see in the church only on Sunday. Are there not so many Nigerians here?

I'm on a temporary long stay visa-457 subclass. Does anyone know what it entails to convert to PR?

My advice to as many that intend to come to Australia, prepare your mind to obey their laws to the letter. If you are caught violating any of thier laws, you will be heavily penalised. Also, if you want to subcribe into any of their service e.g Phone plan, please as enough questions, so that you will not run into problem eventually.

I will appreciate response to my questions.

Greetings all!
where are you guys in Perth

I would advice that you check out the rating of these schools with regards to their M.S in petroleum program. Don't choose a school just because it is cheap. If you plan to live and work in Australia after you finish, choose a school that offers more employment opportunities. Perth and Brisbane are the two hot cities with reagrads to Oil and Gas, and Coal seam gas exploration and production respectively,

all the best.

Where are Nigerians in Sydney? Here I come, what is the best accomodation option here? Somebody respond,

............

Nigerians in Sydney are mostly Igbo trouble makers.
Australia is boring. You will be lonely, sad, hungry and missing Naija.
Dont fool yourselves by thinking that Australia is the best place to be.
Nigerians here are scattered- few and far between.
Good luck all

Live and Direct in Brisbane.

It seems that Nigerians are abound in most regions but all are "parking well" so to speak.

Bros, good on you for being a citizen. It sure saves a lot of barriers. Then you can only get as much work as you are looking for, You don't want to work in the corporate world and you want to make money to hold? I am sure you know that your options are limited to some of the following
1) Delivering Junk mail and/or newspapers
2) Working @ 7Eleven
3) Working for a fast-food restaurant
4) Working as a bouncer(heard this pays well but you have to act the part)
5) Working in the shops
Then again if you are a citizen you are supposed to have allowances from CenterLink http://www.centrelink.gov.au which is there for you.

On Accommodation, I really don't know "Australia-wide" but i can categorically tell you that HOUSES are STUPENDOUSLY MORE EXPENSIVE in Sydney than Brisbane.(so arrange yourself well if you decide visiting). You are better off in a shared accommodation anyways at-least you get to mix with the residents who will have a trick or two up their sleeve on surviving in the town. Hint: follow macars advice

marcar:

Check this website http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/

There's no best city to live and work for Nigerians but if you are asking which city has the most Nigerians? I will say Sydney but then again I learnt that 2010 Nigerian Independence day celebration was hosted in Brisbane and the numbers that turned up(from Queensland) were mind-boggling-(still haven't interacted with more than 3 around) ,

As BorderPatrol must have taught you, don't bring any foreign food(it sucks but welcome to Australia), obey the rules until you are "wise" enough to work with it, ,

Me and my epistles,

Happy Reading and Journey,

Bros abi na Babe, wetin now, who vex you? Lonely?? SAD?? HUNGRY?? Haba! your significant half no follow you come?
Speak for your self and please don't generalize for all and sundry, Australia is the best place to be (apart from your home country-whichever way you see it),
See you around perhaps?
