disectur: If he's on a tourist visa you know he doesnt have ANY right to work right? He could get a labour hire job in construction BUT if he gets caught (VERY LIKELY) he will be deported IMMEDIATELY and likely banned from entering Australia again. This country is very harsh to offenders of any kind. Tread carefully. Thanks so much , another question is hope he won't have any issue at POE since he got an E visa via immi and no visa on passport |
Travel › Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by ayomidan: 4:22pm On Sep 17, 2018 |
teewhysafe: After 4 months since arrival, I think I can share something reasonable now  * Your departure experience from Nigerian Airport? We left Nigeria on the 20th of April, 2018. Our departure experience was not worth remembering at all. This was not interesting one bit. We got delayed at Nigerian airport due to the fact that my husband's old passport number was what was showing on their system. We even opened VEVO and showed those illiterates the grant showing the new passport number (meanwhile the old passport number is boldly printed on the new passport too) still they no budge. They delayed us for over 3 hours until they were making the final boarding call before we were allowed to board. Village people 0-1 
* Stopover experience? When you landed at the airport? We flew with Emirates courtesy of IOM. Flight ticket cost us about 840k for myself and Hubby. Had 2 stop-overs. 1 at Dubai for about 3 hours. IOM guide was waiting with our names. She took us to the departure gate for Melbourne and we just dozed on the lounge chairs until we boarded. We stopped over for about 30-45mins at Singapore also. We left Naija around 6:30pm on Friday and arrived Melbourne around 7am on Sunday morning
* What are the immigration rules to follow? Followed all the ones I read on this forum. That's all. Blended and dried our food-stuff, packed within the luggage limits and all. And ensured we declared all our items on the sheet given. It was a breeze in breeze out at Melbourne airport. Within 3 minutes of collecting our luggages, we were outside the airport. We were like shooo, is that all?
* How did you carry all that cash with you? All that cash ke? lol. We had only $100 pere on us when we entered the country which we exchanged at naija airport @290 to $1.
* Can you open bank account while still in Naija? I am aware you can but we did ours the next day after arrival.
* Which State/suburb did you settle in and why? We settled in Victoria/St Albans on arrival because we had family there already. Accommodation was sorted and the area was nice and central for us initially so it was a good place to start hustling.
* Driving in Australia? How long can you use your Naija driving license before you get Aussie license? Not sure how long but my hubby started driving immediately we landed. I forgot my drivers licence and it was a helpful lady on this thread aussy4lyf that helped send it 3 months after we landed. We immediately started the conversion process which is in 4 stages. Hubby is on the final stage now (drive test) while I am on the 3rd (hazard test).
* Where you live and why you like it or don't like it? Tips on choosing the right neighbourhood, mortgage plans, proximity to work etc.
Still in Victoria now. Living in Noble Park. Choice of this neighbourhood was due to proximity to our new jobs. Suburb is cool, close to basic necessities.. train station, supermarkets etc. Mortgage plans will start when we get our footing and scale through 6months probation for confirmation of employment.
* How easy was it to settle in, with your kids? How did you go about finding the right schools for them? What is their school system like for toddlers (age 5 and below)? N/A (yet)  * Can a mother combine work and taking care of the kids? I hope so  * What culture shock have you experienced? So many. In short let me say I am now born again. no be life we dey live for naija.
* Tips on how to cloth and cope with the cold weather Everything na packaging here. Once you wear the right attires, headwarmers, proper shoes and all, you will be fine. For the beds, we make use of bed heaters which warms up the bed/duvets so u don't have to put on the heater overnight. Its not so bad anymore. I guess you also get used to the temperature after a while. it was war when we first landed.
* Are there Nigerian food/restaurants etc? Are they very expensive? Yeah. There are in melbourne. Nula (Fatimah) is the popular african store and Adonai foods (restaurant in the city). There are 2 African stores too in Noble park but they are more Sudanese than nigerian. Food is veeery expensive jare and over-priced and still their menu is limited. My birthday was a few days ago and i searched for amala and ewedu to no avail 
* Can one start a business (exportation, consultancy) in Australia? No idea. Business no dey my blood.
* How much does your family survive on in a month? Well, for now, looking at bills-rent,groceries,power etc, i will say on the average for us a minimum of $2000 monthly (minimum being the operative word o ) * And any other ... Well, i would just add PATIENCE & PERSEVERANCE while job hunting particularly for professional jobs. Getting a casual job might be quite easy but landing one in your career path can be daunting due to lack of local experience. Oh boy, we got so many reject mails (over 200,getting like 2-3 reject mails everyday for close to 4months) it became a normal thing. The casual job helped in sustenance while searching anyways so it was a good thing. Also learn how to repackage and sell yourself at jobs even if u have no experience. It helped me. When i realised my career path was a long thing, i changed Cv to Customer care/Receptionist/Administrator sharp sharp and i landed a role within a month. So please, try anything, pray hard and don't limit yourself.
To all my grant hopefuls, wishing you speedy favorable responses. God bless! ma,nice info...an agent got my younger brother an Australia tourist/ visiting visa via immi ,I think an E visa. my question:is there any hope of getting menial jobs with the visa ?tho he has ND in accounting.. thanks |

Celebrities › Re: Nigerians React To Linda Ikeji's Pregnancy News by ayomidan: 9:18am On May 21, 2018 |
The number of likes on this statement shows the level of Linda's hypocrisy NwaAmaikpe:

We must give the Ikeji sisters some accolades for their morals. They are pros at getting pregnant before marriage.
Congrats to Linda for becoming the newest ambassador of Team Skin-to-skin. But Some men get mind sha. There are some kpekus that NwaAmaikpe sees and just loses appetite.
But to think a man will go raw in a canister of smelly sardines defies all logic.
Please if she gives birth today, Will she be called a babymama, Will her baby be called a bastard? So much for being a self-made feminist. So much for being celibate.
This goes to prove that Linda Ikeji is a frigging preek-worshipping, confused hypocrite. |

People should stop saying trash about celestial church of Christ.. So many illiterate mentioning Cele without knowing the dictionary meaning of celestial.. Then adding the "church of Christ" to the meaning..
Funny enough, they will be the one a huge spiritual problem will bring in to the church to seek for perfect solution.. A neighbor(a Christ embassy choir master) old enough to be my father is an example, in fact he is a Shepherd to be after being fully victorious of his predicament that he had spent all he had from one church to another |

musicwriter: Oh God!.
This scene also brings memory of people scooping petrol from fallen tankers. These pictures are enough to tell Nigerian politicians of the extent of poverty in this country.
Sometimes I just feel like getting a gun to kill any politician at sight. Boko haram should please turn their guns to Nigerian politicians, they're the one that deserve to be killed. Sorry to quote you bro, the so called fuel from the fallen tanker is groundnut oil and not fuel, the reporter only view the incidence from his/her car,tho all nah still poverty |
