You will not understand, this one no he big man...
There is no single handkerchief from anybody hanging outside.

Part of the culture shock people talk about.

DisGuy:

You have made sense...
There isn't a 'secure' space here. Everywhere open, you'll look weirdo kinda different hanging outside where I stay. Over an entire community, no handkerchief is hanging outside!

No be big man matter.

If you expect to see designer wears on an average person here, you will be disappointed.
Most Nigerians will look over dressed here.

This question isn't straight forward, different people come here for different reasons and different consular officers would see your reason from different angles.

I started reading your story around 12:00, this is 1: 45am and still reading, I tell you when am through

MackyNaija:
I hope so too.



Thanks man.



I used an uncle, if one has no guarantor for an apartment managed by a 'property firm' I doubt if they would issue one a space. They offer 9 or 12 month leases/contract from my experience.

'Independent apartments' e.g a building owned by an individual might accept without a guarantor. They also accept month to month payments.

Is the tenth($500) per month or per annum?

Hmm

Nice thread and write up

Am through now

Lectures start this week and I am currently off NL, looking at the syllabus and textbooks.
