after touch down.. I had to check in first and the officers at the POE just checked my passport and admission documents then I was stamped in.. The airport is damn big.. You need to enter a mini train to take you to where your luggage is. You can as well get WiFi password for free just go to the information desk you will see em there... Are you taking plane or a train to your last destination?

Ok..I'm taking train from the airport to a bus station and then cab from that place to the school.

From MMA nko? I heard there are many attrocities that go on there,both from the so called Airport official(customs etc) and other sets of human beings. How was it like ata Murtala?

BekBek:


and how did you go about this (Confucius Institute scholarship ) and what is the name of the school and what course are you studying

check english.hanban.org/jxjen.htm AND www.csc.edu.cn/studyinchina/scholarshipdetailen.aspx?cid=218&id=2728
to know about the confucius institute scholarship


I am going to Hebei University of Economics and Business and I have a friend going to Xiamen University we are both going to learn CHINESE LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. You need to pass some exams before applying though. You can check for CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP too.

Mind you,our lecturers helped us to apply.I studied Chinese Language at University of Abomey Calavi, Benin republic,from November 2013 to July 2015. But you can attend Confucius classes at UNILAG,they will also help you in applying for the scholarships or better still,you can go for Bachelor's degree program at the same UNILAG, I was there on Monday and their Chinese lecturers told me how they run their program.

For the Confucius institute class,You can register for the scholarship exams the written exam is from level 1 to level 6 wgile the oral exam has 3 levels(primary,intermediary and advance). You can travel to China for 6 months if you have level 2 of written exam and Beginner level of oral exam. All info abou that is on www.csc.edu.cn/studyinchina/scholarshipdetailen.aspx?cid=218&id=2728

I heard the program costs 24k naira for 4 months for each level . N.B You will pay for the exams differently.

For the Bachelor's degree,I don't know anything about the fees because the lecturer didn't know also and I didn't bother finding out from other sources..But All she said is a student does 100 level in Naija,200&300 levels in China and 400 level in Naija for poject and all. But I don't know if it is scholarship o. I once heard rumours that you have to pay 1 million Naira for that,I don't know how true that is.

GOODLUCK!

BekBek:



Wow.. you are brilliant.

But here is my question.

Is it a must you meet this. (Your sponsor's last six months bank's statement of account WITH AT LEAST 6 MILLION NAIRA IN THE ACCOUNT.)
or if i may ask how did you meet it.

Thanks.
According to what you will submit at the Chinese embassy,you have to meet it,especially if it's not a scholarship. I met it,I used an Uncle as my sponsor.
But my Brother,you can get anything in Naija. For example,I didn't go to the embassy with it at first, so when I was asked to present mine,some guys came to me that it's no problem they would help me with it,I didn't believe them though,so I just called my uncle and went to the bank with him. It was at the bank that I saw someone I know (like a Big Brother[who is also a travel agent]to me but not related),he told me it's no problem,that they can just get it for you as long as you present your sponsor's account details including the bank name,since they are not going to confirm at the embassy. All they want to see is the correlation between the name of the sponsor and his I.d data page. I didn't do it because I was afraid and I also had means. N.B I'm not advicing you to do it o,don't travel with fake documents,it's dangerous,they may know at the end of the day and you won't be able to defend it.

You don't worry,whem the time comes,we will discuss. I can be of help,just keep in touch here

tdayof:
hope you ve packed garri lol... Yea Liaoning is beautiful shenyang is cool.

lol..I've not even started packing things o. I plan to take garri,yam and beans with me though. What other things will you advice me to take along. Things you know I will miss
are you studying too? what course which school?

BekBek:


Hello bro. i have plans of traveling next year but i am still putting together the best country for me.

Here is my question.
How much did it cost you all together. that's from the Visa, and other things

Seocndly,Where is there embassy here in nigeria

and Save Trip

Thank you!
It didn't cost me much o,I got a Confucius Institute scholarship though. I only paid for the Medical test(which varies in respect with the hospital you are using),The Visa fee for the X1 student visa I have was 8,000 naira + 600 bank which comes out 5 working days after the interview (but if you want express you will pay 9,100). I've not gotten the ticket now though,but almost through with the process,I heard it's like 200-250k. That's all!
N.B ALL FEES IN NAIRA AS AT THIS YEAR 2015.

At the embassy,you will meet two Nigerian ladies at the submission desk,they will be the ones to go through your documents and all.
Necessary documents for the X1 student visa(the same thing I used).
1) Admission Notice/Invitation Letter from the school
2)Visa application form(JW202 form) from the school,the school will fill all your data on it,what you need is to sign and out date.
3)One other visa application form that will be given to you at the embassy,there you will insert all your info(where you are going,why and when..all sort of questions on it).
4)Introduction letter from Your sponsor(either your dad,mum,uncle,aunty or anybody sponsoring you)
5)Your sponsor's last six months bank's statement of account WITH AT LEAST 6 MILLION NAIRA IN THE ACCOUNT.
6)The photocopy of Your sponsor's Identification data page(Driver's licence,International passport,Birth certificate or National I.D card) N.B They may ask you to bring 2/3 of those I.d data page
7) Your International passport with at least six months of validity.
Flight ticket (this one is just for “shakara”,so the Visa Officer will know you are serious about going,you will get it at a business center outside the embassy for 500 naira) N.B It's not adviceable to buy ticket before getting your visa.
I think,that's all.

They have embassies in Lagos and Abuja,I used the one in Lagos at Victoria Island NO 161A Idejo street.

You don't need to panic anyways,aslong as your.documents are right,you stand a greater chance of being given visa.
GOODLUCK!

tdayof:

tdayof:
hey what school in china.. I lived in ibadan too.. Ologuneru to be precise.

I'm currently at Joyce C(near Kakanfo hotel) . I don't know much place in Ib(as an indoor boy),I stay at New Ife road but just got a part time job over here with Rashmed Publishers.
I am going to Hebei University of Economics and Business,Shijiazhuang,Hebei province.
What of you,where are you in China?
How did you get your ticket,how did you do it which airline did you use?
And also,is it compulsory to buy a ROUND TICKET or I can just buy ONE WAY TICKET. I'm going for 1 year Chinese language and Literature study,so which one did you use and how did you go about it?.

calebnonismate:
pls my fellow nairalanders, i am also having problem booking a flight from nigeria to russia, novosibrisk. I will like any clue as to how to book online.what airline do u think will b d cheapest? Am going there for schooling. And i hope i wont ve to pay above 200k cos thats the money i budgeted for transportation. And also what exchange rate will the airline use in collectin my payment? Is it interbank exchange rate? Or burea d exchange rate? Thanks

I will advice you to open a discussion page for your question so all Nairalanders will see it and anybody that can help will surely answer you. For example,if someone does not know anything about China,he/she won't open this discussion page meanwhile that person may be able to help you for your Russia stuff.
Goodluck in your enquiries

SisterCaro:
it depends if there is a promotion for buying online sometimes may be cheaper but i would advise you to go to the offices and get all the info you may need since this is the first time. Then after this you may start booking online.

Thanks so much sis,God bless.

onatisi:
do you know many have ended up buying ticket twice because they don't know how to book online. It will be stupid and sad if you end up wasting over 150k just because you want to experiment with online booking. Take 2000 transportation to Lagos from ibadan and book with the airline direct in their office with peace of mind . Wahlahi some ppl just like to find problem and trouble when there is no need .i am out of here.

alright thank you,don't be vexed,this is my first time and I have nobody to ask,that's why I asked friends her. Thanks for your advice,I'll do just that.

Mrcdorv:
Have you check www.edreams.com.....if you are not satisfy then walk up to airline office and make you inquiry before booking.

I find it hard using this site,It stopped at where I was to
select my destination.

akeba:


ok thank.you..I will chck it now

I find it hard using this site,It stopped at where I was to select my destination.

ALSO.. Please everybody. we are contemplating on if to buy a ONE WAY TICKET OR ROUND TICKET. Because we are going ther for one year. so which one is advisable to buy?

Mrcdorv:

ok thank.you..I will chck it now

onatisi:
Why book online when you can walk into any airline office and book ?they will give you firsthand information and may even be cheaper than online booking

OK Thanks
But what I heard was that buying it online is cheaper.

tdayof:
go to Lagos airport and ask for Waka now hub.. They will do it for you.. Ethiopian airline should be the cheapest except you want to use Kenya airline.


Are you on student or business visa?

I am on a student Visa. I heard Ethiopoan is the best also, I am currently in Ibadan though. But also whay I heard is that buying it online is cheaper
