Education / Nigerians Scammed By Asians In Ukraine. by badguuy: 2:45pm On Nov 06, 2008
This is for all Nigerian Students planning to come study in Ukraine, It’s a good thing come and study here, as we all know what it means to study in Europe, but the most important thing to do first is to get enough information before involving/committing yourself to anything, In Ukraine here, the general language is Russian/Ukrainian, there's a language barrier, though that’s a minor thing, what seem to be the major problem is the people you deal with in the process of getting admission in schools, you need to be very careful, and that seem to be the first step in the whole thing, what I'm getting at is, here in Ukraine Asians seem to be many in the admission business, they're all scammer, no matter how they sweet-talk you, please do not fall for it, they will scam you, and there’s nothing you or anybody can do about it, if you try to be smart, you will be "deported" because they have a very good connection with the Immigration at the airport.
      There's nothing wrong with studying here in Ukraine, this is how it works, when you get admitted in any school here in Ukraine, you'll be sent an Invitation to study by the Ministry of Education of Ukraine, to get admitted in the school you need to go through an agent, to help you through all necessary processes, so you are coming to the country through the agent, that’s recommended, the invitation will help you secure your visa in Ukrainian Embassy in Nigeria.
     Now you have your visa, normally you have to inform the school and your agent that you will coming, so as to make arrangements to pick you up at the airport, here’s where the nightmare happens, at the airport, your agent must have got rights from your school to pick you at the airport, so they can only release you to him, (You must have someone to pick you at the airport, its recommended) there at the airport he demands for your school fees and some money to settle the Immigration, if you’re trying to be smart, asking why you have to pay your schools at the airport, you are making him want to tell the immigration to send you back, they will listen to him not you. Normally you are not suppose to pay school fees at the airport. (For what nah?) But he(The agent) will ask you to give him your fees so he can help you pay, that you don’t need to do any wahala, if you obey, which you must obey, he will pay half of your school fees, that’s if he’s kind enough to pay half, some of them won’t pay at all, he will tell the school that you will pay up after few days, that you don’t want to travel with too much cash, and after few days in school, the school will wonder why you have to come all over from your country and not having money to pay your fees, and you know what happens next, so the best thing to do is to avoid all ASIAN AGENTS, no matter the connection, even if it’s your friend, relations that introduce you don’t deal with them, or through internet. Their are Nigerian Agent here, who are very honest and trustworthy to deal with.
     Agents Company names like EduConsult (Yousuf Khan), Amrik, Raja Veron, and or any Asian name, please avoid them, more names will be posted later I’m telling you this from what I saw, I’m not assuming…,
