Please where are you getting your own black market rate at 70 naira maybe I can also patronise the person.

It has been hovering around 87 naira for some weeks now.

I am also living in Accra

Localordinary:
Official rate is actually 1cedis=65 naira whilst black market is 70 naira. Whilst growing up,I could remember how useless the franc xefa was, today naira and xefa are in the range. By end of this year,the francophone countries in West Africa including Ghana has introduced a new currency called eco currency. It is shame on Nigerian leaders.

engrkosi:
The school's scholarship results will be released by 23rd April, 2021

Let's hope for the best.

engrkosi:
Yes I did.
I want to also support that with TetFund, but my worry is that before applying for resident permit card, one ought to have paid first semester's tuition installment and due to how sluggish TetFund can be in dispensing the funds, that might eat deep into the timing ... I don't know if the sponsorship letter issued by TetFund can be used in place of the first semester's payment evidence...

When are they releasing the school's scholarship results?

As for the sponsorship letter in relation to the Swedish process, I have not heard about that before.

Most of the schools will expect the students to pay the first installment by the end of this April.

engrkosi:
Got one from Linkopings University, my first choice, Mechanical engineering. The rest three were also deleted...
I need guidelines on how to go further with TetFund scholarship anyone, pls.

Did you apply for the school's scholarship?

This is looking interesting

Atompat:
Same here into chalmers university

Congratulations brother!

Was Umea University your first priority and which course were you offered admission?

I got the offer for the masters programme in Accounting.

Obumnemeuzua:
I received my conditional offer today to umea University.
Waiting for the SI scholarship hopefully on the 28th.
God's name be praised.

Admission decisions have been released.

Who also got lucky here?

Who has also received admission today?

Students are eligible to work part-time during school time and full time during holidays.

Tuition varies and are usually paid in installment each semester. For instance, you are expected to pay 46,500 SEK every semester for my course at Umea University.

If one is fortunate to get a scholarship, that will be a massive savings.

All the best.

Godson1988:
good morning,what is schooling like in Sweden,is it study and work,what's the tuition fee like.

We thought that we had finally gotten an updated thread about Swedish admissions and student visa until the the OP was involved in copy right controversy that led to the thread being deleted.

In the hope to keep the journey alive, admission decisions have been released today 9th April, 2021 and our people can share their experiences here.

As for me, I received admission to my first ranked school, Umea University MSc in Accounting while other choices were automatically deleted.

Congratulations! Which course were you given GA? I also have an admission offer in the MBA program of the same school.

It is better for you to comply with the instruction. What you have is a gold and you have to look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on the amount to courier it to the US. Some schools still send e-copies of the I-20 while others courier it to the students.

Istanbul8819:
Eastern Illinois University. Thanks a lot. Please kindly answer my other questions too. Much thanks.

Thank you very much for this explanation. As a staff of GIG Logistics, we prioritise the safety and prompt deliveries of our customers' shipments. I am sure that it was very likely that your friend was not willing to follow our processes. We couldn't have rejected the shipment from our customer without any cogent reason.

More so, all our shipments always carry insurance and in case anything goes wrong with it either through missing or damaged shipment, you will be indemnified fully to the value declared at the point of contracting the shipment.

We are still the most reliable logistics company with an extensive networks across Nigeria.

Onlinealaba:
Sorry for the loss and damages, to the best of my knowledge GIG logistics are very careful when it comes to handling and waybiling TVs ,they make sure they send their rep to inspect the TV before packaging and then after packaging they call in a carpenter to construct a wooden crane for the TV which is the best option for transporting a very fragile item like TV, The 20k you payed would have been best with GIG, notwithstanding if the so called Mr Salami is a verified staff of GUO you can report to the management and take up necessary legal actions against him. Once again sorry for the damages

When last were you in Ghana? Reality will dawn on him soon. I still assisted one Nigerian 2 days ago with 100 cedis when his fellow Nigerian host threw him out.

Besides, 1 cedis is now 87 naira.

Mrceragem:
Bro safe trip
you can be sleeping at Abc park. Just make 1 or two friend in the park and tell them your predicament they will tell you how to be passing the night at the park. also make sure you keep your abc ticket well. That is your pass. and since you have complete hand and leg then tell those abc to direct you where you will be doing factory work in Ghana. Just make sure you hustle well
Alternatively follow new transport company that just started new and when you gat to their park stay there for 2weeks while staying there make sure you are doing some volunteer work for them every moring before going to do your factory work. They pay per week.
Then make friends with those driver and wash their buses at night when then arrive Ghana. In no time you will save enough money. convert and send home to your mum.note 1Ghana cedi = 66naira.
assuming you can save 10,000ghana cedi it will become 660,000naira send to you mum for investment in nigeria

You think Ghana is rosy right? Your thinking will only be compounded. There are many things you can still do in Nigeria to at least put food in your mouth. Everybody will not be fortunate to work in an office.

My first job after NYSC was with one local man that sells cements. My salary was 10,000 naira and from there, I have been growing. Look around you and be humble to take a low paying job or learn a trade.

By the way, you can't even travel now because Togo and Ghana borders are still closed to passengers except you want to go by flight which is a no go area. The other alternative is traveling through the bush and you will see how Ghana immigration will humiliate you as a Nigerian.

People like you are the one giving Ghanaians the audacity to say thrash about Nigeria and Nigerians.

Barbiturate:
For the first time in my life I made my mom cry.
I made her cry because I didn't eat, I didn't listen nor do the errand she sent me. I just lay down and cry all day, weeks, months. My eyes are swollen from tears

You see, it is not my fault. I have really come of age. I have no job, I have no business, I have no wife, I have no child. I think all day. I pray for death everyday. I am not interested in the world anymore. I just want to leave this world peacefully.

Now that I made her cry, she has threatened to leave for the village.

I want to leave before she does. I want to pack my things, move to Ghana via ABC trans and then just wander about the streets of Ghana seeking for job and accommodation. Let me go far away from them all. Change number, close all social media accounts. Live the life of a destitute! I don't need your advice, I'm even older than 99% of you here. I'm just putting this down!

I rest my case!

titialayo:
Thanks for this clarification. I was also wondering how Georgia state university and university of Illinois are classified as unserious schools. Meanwhile on this same thread I saw people with half scholarships and assistantship from these schools, that's why I asked for advice from those people already in the system who knows better, I don't need advice that would discourage my efforts.

People like you are difficult to advise because you are already emotionally attached to the schools and only want to hear what favours you.

I told you that I also have admission at the University of Illinois at Chicago but it appears that was not enough for you to understand my position.

You do not need to pay enrollment deposit before scholarship or other funding decisions are extended to you and that was why I tagged them to be unserious.

However, if you are convinced that paying the deposit will make the difference, please go ahead.

NigPatriot:
The bolded statement in your statement isn't true. There are many "serious" and highly ranked schools that won't give letter of funding until weeks later of giving admission letters. - many people here can testify to this.

Schools differ, and are unique in their modus operandi. Relate with your Graduate coordinator, they are the ones with the perfect information especially with regards funding.

I am not here to make unnecessary arguments. If the OP takes your advice, he can go ahead to pay the tuition deposit.

titialayo:
Hello everyone,
I just got admitted into Georgia state university and University of Illinois Chicago. Both schools require 250$ acceptance deposits before I can get to know my scholarships offer and apply assistantships. Please my seniors in the house who are already in the system, kindly advise which of these 2 schools have a more robust offer for scholarships. I have 250$ for just one of the school and I'm at the junction of making a life decision.

Brother, any serious school will indicate there scholarship offer in the Admit Letter. It is obvious that none of the schools can be relied on for funding. Don't waste your money on any of the schools except you are certain that you have other means to finance the program.

Please note that I also have an MS Accounting admission offer at UIC.

Goodluck!

This post is shameful. It is unfortunate that the orientations most women of these days have are weird.

I will honestly encourage men to create time to enjoy the fruit of their labours alone once in a while rather than always trying to make extreme sacrifices for women.

They hardly think of any sacrifice you made for them when they are ready to betray you and they will still staunchly defend their actions.

Sixfeetbelle:
If my husband is cheating on me, there are a thousand and one things I could do as a reaction. It's my life and my choice. Gone are the days when ladies stayed and endured cheating husbands because he's the provider. In this day and age that women are fast becoming breadwinners, anything is possible when it comes to a cheating husband.


That aside, I hate it when a story comes up of a married woman is cheating and you all start acting as if married men too don't cheat. That's what your comment implied and why I called you out on it.

For this story in particular, I have reasons for my comment. That this guy is in abroad hustling to send his wife money:

1) Doesn't make him a saint. He could be cheating as well. Generally, men find it harder to hold body. It doesn't quantify his wife cheating, no, but then again, do we have spouses who cheat because their significant other is doing so?
2) Doesn't mean he automatically deserves her complete loyalty. He's not the only man hustling for his family and such should not be a criteria for having a faithful wife. A woman that will be faithful will be faithful regardless of what the husband is doing.
3) Doesn't mean he's being the best husband. He may be good to his friend and outsiders but a complete wastrel when it comes to the home front. The marriage may just be smokes and mirrors for all we know.

Point is: there are many factors involved in marriages and expecting one party to be 'good and faithful' doesn't always mean they can or that they wish to. For all we know, she's tired of the marriage and hence her brazen acts of cheating.

I don't like to comments on ethnic matters but this video has proven to me that some politicians are bent on cashing on the situation to achieve their objectives.

It started with malicious newspapers reportage that was heavily skewed to make a certain group appear to be the victims.

From this lady's eyes contact, it is obvious that she was reading a prepared statement.

Secondly, properties were destroyed on both ends and people should stop making the northerners to be victims who folded their harms while their properties and alleged lives were being taken away. It was simply a case of being OVERPOWERED AND OVERWHELMED by the hoodlums.

As at Friday, the northerners were having the upper hand and burning everywhere until the story changed on Saturday. In fact, it was alleged as at Friday that the soldiers and policemen that were on ground were aiding the northerners and even ordered the amotekun personnel to step aside.

The two parties are counting their losses and of course one party suffered most and people should stop this deliberate victim reportage to stop further escalation.

Any responsible leader should have known that the country is boiling from bottled up frustration which was unleashed during the endsars campaign.

Our northern brothers should also stop this mob mentality when dealing with other citizens. The idea of quickly coming together to challenge anyone that has issue with a northerner is very bad. If you doubt me, just have an issue with an Okada rider from the north anywhere in Lagos, you will be surprised by the number of northerners that will encircle you and ready to kill you.

How much are you being paid by Atiku to deliberately spread malicious information that could end the country that your desperate benefactor is hoping to lead as the president?

I can read in between the lines and what you people intend to achieve politically.

A lot of people are frustrated in the country and no thanks to the bad governance of the president. If there is reprisal attacks in the north which I don't pray for, Nigeria will go up in flames because there will likely be counter attacks down south.

Please be guided. What we need in this country is a social justice where every citizen will be treated equally irrespective of their tribes.

No one should be treated or seen as a conquered slave in our own country.

I can assure you that you can never forget it and the trust in the house has broken already. I have experienced something close to this before and everybody will want you to forgive her and move on. The decision is yours to make. Don't succumb to emotional blackmail. If you think that it is ok for you to move on with her, so be it.

What experience has taught me is that women are generally not rational with decision making like men. They are mostly moved by emotions. I can assure you that your woman fell into that trap because there was a vacuum due to your absence. The possible reason for her to 'stoop so low' to an okada man is that he is always around to take her to different places. He chats regularly with her and that made her to start pouring out her emotional needs to the man. Unfortunately, once a woman start having affairs with another man, you will definitely notice a change of behaviour if you have a discerning mind.

Truth be told, you can't completely blame the woman for what is happening. It is dangerous to leave a woman alone for too especially with periodic intervals. You need to see how you will adjust your time to be coming home regularly even if it is not everyday.

Trust me, a lot of married women cheat these days but they are very discrete about it. Only few are caught. If you want to test the resolve of a woman, let her be in a safe environment that is free from any potential drama.

It's quite painful to be hustling for what the family will eat and she will be somewhere describing you in a despicable ways to her lovers while they are making love.

Sorry bro. Once again, it is your decision. Marriage is not easy in Africa because of families.

homodele:
Good morning house, I have some few questions to ask.
1. Let take for example I applied to 4 grad schools in the State. One is for summer 2021, will the rest is for fall 2021. I got an admission to the whole 4, but I decided to proceed with that of the summer 2021, and I went to the embassy with it. During the interview at the embassy, if I am being asked how many schools did I apply to and how many gave me admission can I reply by saying I applied to 4 schools and all 4 gave me admission. Would it be possible for the V.O to further ask that what semester was I admitted into, and should I go ahead and reply by saying 1 is for summer and the others are for fall 2021. Are these perfect answers to the questions I think the V.O might ask?

2. Please does anyone know of any grad school in the State currently accepting admission into a full time MBA degree program for summer 2021? Please I need their names.
Thank you very much house for the justice I know you would do to these questions.

EboniAd:

Forget about her finances, do your best for your family, but above all,ensure you have savings for the rainy Day

Where will the savings for the rainy days come from when he is obviously being drained?

It is unfortunate that the women of this generation have terrible orientation about marriage. Most marriages these days are more of exploitation and men are usually at the receiving end.

What you are facing is peculiar to many homes. You are not alone on this.

My sincere advice is that you have to be deliberate in your approach. Even if you are not expecting anything from her, let her pay the rent of her shop from the business.

You will be surprised that at the end of the day, this woman will still tell you that you have not done enough for her. The next thing, she will start building her house and hide it from you.

Honestly, Nigerian men should see marriage as charity when it comes to financial responsibilities and not to expect much from the wives.

While you are providing for the family, make sure that you also prioritize your personal financial security. May we never fall into emergencies.

NoToPile:
I had to laugh out loud at the bolded, if you had to ask that question then you don't understand the dynamics of in-law and parental relationships.

What a daughter will get away with a daughter in law would never get away with it.

What a mother would say to his son and he would not take offence , if she says same to the sons wife kasala fit burst, the wife may not talk but she will keep it at heart and use it to react in the future, in fact her own mother will say the same exact words and she might not think twice about it, the husband might even be the one to vex on behalf of his wife.

What a mother would say to her own daughter she cannot ( in a lot of cases) dare say it to her son in law.

When people understand these things its easier.

Ability to manage your mother, your wife and your family in general without issues is a hallmark of a man mature to get married. If you can manage them all successfully , you have less marital issues( at least the ones caused by external interference).

Honestly, I will not expect a lesser reaction from you this response. I am a married man with some years of experience and I know what I am talking about.

What's the point crying when her husband returned from work? And so what if the MIL scolded her?

My advice still goes to the bachelors to be wary of women and be very intelligent when handling issues between your wife and your family. Otherwise, you will suddenly realize that you are isolated from your own family while the wife's family will have free access to your home.

My sincere advice will go to those who are not yet married. Women are naturally gifted to be manipulative. First, they will like to keep the family of the man out of the picture but I can tell you that eventually, family of the wife will have free access to their home and enjoy the benefits from whatever the man has. It is their way. I have been there and I know how they act. Ask the question, if it was the wife's mother that scolded her, would she had acted in such a manipulative way to send her mother away from the house?

The man lacked wisdom and obviously inexperienced to handle the situation like that. I am an advocate of third party staying away from marriages but women are never in accord to this because they usually involve their mothers in their marital life.

To the man and other aspiring husbands, even if your mother does something that is obviously wrong, never you scold your mother in anger because of your wife especially in her presence. Remember how long your mother has been with you from your pregnancy to probably 30 years of age and still showing that care and love. Thread cautiously! The two women are precious to you and a mother's blessing goes a long way in the life of a child.

BaddieFreak:
Even though this site stinks of broke, toxic and immature males claiming to be redpillers, I think there are few ones who are actually mature, I think I have gotten a crush here, he seems cool I hope he doesn't bleeps up along the way. I won't mention his name yet I am still observing him. I want him to be my simp

Relationship is never an easy thing. Everybody deserves to be happy. As for me, I like your openness. You don't look like someone that pretends if I am correct.

Dear OP,

I have carefully followed your thread and read all the comments by the contributors.

By now, you should appreciate some advices given to you about 2 months ago on the need for you to forget about the woman and move on with your life. Some women here tagged them to be haters, failed relationships etc.

Trust me, Nigerian women are naturally dangerous and complicated to understand. You should thank your God for making the path to separation so easy for you. I am married too and I know the kind of heart break I have suffered in the marriage. You are working your ass off and hardly have a life of your own just because you want your family to be happy and the same woman will describe you like a monster so that people can pity her and encourage her with whatever she is doing. That's why I don't contribute to any matter that any woman brings to NAIRALAND because I know that most of them are lies until you hear from the husband too. I have experienced it before and I know painful it was listening to your own woman describing you to be a terrible person just because she wanted validation. Another important thing to note is that, no matter what you do for your woman and her family, when the chips are down, they will always side with her.

Most times, if a woman is hanging on to you, it's because she is not economically empowered enough to challenge your authority. Average Nigerian women of today want to have an independent mind of their own whether they are married or not. Your woman has gained enough from you and doesn't need you anymore. She has just started a journey of seeing different men. She may even be lucky to meet some who are even more wealthy than you are. There are so many reckless men out there who are ready to spend the cash on women.

I can bet you that she is not in a hurry for any marriage but to enjoy her life, freedom and "easy" money from men.

Just be grateful that she didn't ruin you. Just put your life together and move on. IN ORDER TO HEAL UP, DON'T CALL HER AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS. IF YOU CALL HER BECAUSE YOU WANT TO TALK TO YOUR SON, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO FEEL HURT. Focus on your happiness. Imagine yourself to be dead now (God forbid) and think whether your son will not continue with his life. Ensure you send his feeding allowances and school fees. You are also free to have another children wherever you are.

Now you see the reason why you have to become the so called ALPHA Male? Most of the women here will be manipulating you emotionally to try harder because they are not different from your woman including my wife too. I wish she can also walk away peacefully like this.

TO EVERY MAN, NEVER EVER SHOW YOUR WEAKNESS TO ANY WOMAN. MOST TIMES, THEY FEAR AND RESPECT MEN WHO TORMENT THEM.

Women are always unkind to men who genuinely love and cherish them because they will continue to ask for more and make you feel bad till you die. They want to be in charge of your life.

Broken2020:
Good evening to everyone that followed my post, thanks to everyone that advised me and to those that insulted me I say thank you too.

I learnt a lot from all y’all said, but it’s very unfortunate that she is really bent on quitting whatever we had.

The more I tried the more harder puzzle she became.

I just found out there is someone she is seeing, she told me the guy was an investor who offered to invest in her business, she said the guy wanted them to sign a 15yrs contract and I advised her not to go into that contract because 15yrs is so much.

She reluctantly agreed. When I noticed she wasn’t happy with my advice then I told her to tell the guy to bring his proposal so that I can send it to a business analyst to advice us on the deal.

About 1 month later I asked if she has heard from the guy she said no.

I have confirmed all she is doing with the guy, it’s business and pleasure.

She is bragging to everyone about the business and I know she has not saved enough to invest into the business.

No lies am heart broken, but i know I tried.

Please how do I delete this thread?

Hello everyone,

Good morning.

Please how does the recent immigration updates affect the former Tier 4 Visa Pilot Scheme.
