Courtsy of the above post in which esteemed Nairalanders were of immense help (thank you).
Now the options are between Immigration and DSS so which one should I go with I need the pros and cons of the two.
N.B safety is my topmost priority. Not money.
My qualifications are BSc Political Science (a 4pointer) and a two-year diploma (distinction). Thanks once again esteemed Nairalanders.

I'm selling my V6 engine. Wo! I didn't know that engine isn't meant for me. It consumes diesel like crazy, never expected it to be that serious. Thesame place my friend will buy 50k diesel on his straight engine, I'll buy 70k plus and at the end my own might even finish first.
V-engines are powerful sha. The load my vehicle carries is unbelievable, but considering the gas consumption, we'll agree that V engines for trucks are meant for Tippers and heavy duty trucks that don't travel long distance.
I've brought it down. I no do again, please make me an offer. I'm putting it at 1.7mil so if you're interested call me

I just introduced an investor to lolostic (MR. ADEKUNLE LAWAL) and I hope to relay in this thread every dealing and interactions with him.
This is to enlighten everyone about who he is.

Good morning and thank you I thought the statement of service is issued when you no longer on that job

chidike:
Do you have a bank statement showing receipt of salary for the first job? I think it's good to show them something for that first year so that they don't reduce your experience. Offer letter is good, add evidence of payment to it and it backs it up. I only submitted one statement of service for my current job. I expect the experience you're claiming from your first job till now are all relevant. So once they're fine with the first and second job, the statement of service for your current job is all that is needed. At least I know I only submitted 1 statement of service.

many thanks

My friend Bnimz has always wanted me to leave Nigeria/Africa since he was in the UK but I didn’t take him seriously until sometimes in August 2017 when he told me that he’s now a permanent residence in Aussie. My brain opened immediately. He gave me options of studies, Canada and Australia and because I was desperate to leave, I started working on all the options.
My first Ielts (LRSW 8,8,7.5,6.5) was in September 2017. I did Academis because I thought I could use it for the three options but the result could only work for school. I got engaged the same month and dropped the idea of school because I was not ready to leave my babe behind.
I worked on my CDR and paid for Engineer Australia Assessment (Fast Track) with materials and guidance from Bnimz and my babe as proofreader in November 2017. I did my best on the CDR and was expecting a direct positive assessment. Also with counsel from Bnimz, I paid for PTE and was preparing. I got late to the exam hall for my first PTE and was not allowed to take the test. 52k wasted. I almost wet my trouser with wee wee. I gathered another 52k and paid for another PTE the following week. The result was terrible. The same week I got the result, I was contacted by my CO from EA and he requested for two additional CDRs. I literarily gave up at that time. Nothing seems to be working.
I gathered courage again in January and decided to prepare for IELTS because it appeared simpler to me. I wrote 2 more CDRs and submitted (not expecting anything good). I got positive assessment from EA on lovers day 14th February 2018. It rekindled my hope again in Australia but I was more focused on Canada.
My second IELTS was in April 2018 (this one pain me enhh). I had LRSW 8.5, 8.5, 8, 6.5. I almost ran mad. I was never good at English, especially writing but I thought I prepared well. I was sure my marked would increase so I sharply requested for remark (na IDP so it cost 45k). Painfully dem chop my 45k laidat. I cried liked David of the bible and encouraged myself in the Lord. I registered for another IELTS immediately and got May 12.
I need a new paragraph for this story… I didn’t mention all along that I’m working in Ghana and have to travel to Nigeria by road (as I no get money for flight nko) to take all of those exams. IDP did not fix date for my speaking until less that 24 hours before the test and I was in Ghana. I had to beg my boss and colleague to cover for me and travel that very night (night bus). I got to Ikeja around 11am or so and was given just 10 minutes to rest before going in for my test. I sha did the speaking test with a very tired voice and forced smile. Shebi it remain LRW laidat. It was May 12 and it was a bad day devil drink water (Yoruba people will understand). I got to the exam hall as early as 7am and the exam didn’t start till about 10:30am. Meanwhile I spent most of the time standing on queue. I was already tired when I entered the exam hall. We couldn’t start with listening because their speaker no dey work properly. They sha forced us to start with reading after which we did writing because the speaker was not ready. About 12pm when we wanted to do listening finally, rain started falling so we had to wait for rain to stop. No food lataaro, everyone was tired and agitated. In fact a pregnant woman passed out while we were waiting and was rushed to the hospital. We sha later did the rubbish listening like that and I was sure I wont get up to 8 because the speaker still didn’t work properly. I cried at Ojota bus stop that night because I thought I’ve wasted another 68k. But the miracle working God I served stepped in and helped me. I had LRSW 7.5, 9, 8.5, 7. Ni 10 point ba pe.
I didn’t know much about 489 so I begged for help on nairaland and god sent an angel, IFUNNAYA. She introduced me to this wonderful group. Spongbob was beyond helpful. He gave me all the things I needed to apply and encouraged me all the way. I applied on 11th of June. I quickly organized a small registry wedding with my babe on 5th of July and was nominated on 23rd of July. Lodged visa on 15th august and medicals 20th August. With prayers and a lot of prayers, We got direct grant yesterday 7th August 2018 and IED is 20th August 2019.
I hope my story will help/inspire someone. PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP. If I could do it, YOU, yes you too can do it

koleefem05:

When are u going?

thefunclubenterprise:
Thanks, will definitely rule out Rwanda air now. When you had a lay over at Kenya were you given a transit visa? because I know to enjoy such you must have applied for a transit visa with the country (from what I know, I may be wrong).
That's a good way to kill 2 birds with one stone, I get to experience another country. My friend once did that with Turkish Airlines.

Have yourself an adventurous weekend

Sapphire86:
Honestly, no sarcasm intended

Ok

Sounds like sarcasm but will absorb that in good faith
The Friday is moist not chilled

Sapphire86:
On this chilled Friday?? Nah, we good!

U angry?

Sapphire86:
Banter abi.... it is well. The talent is personal na and by God's grace the dividend will roll in soon.

Lol
Your face too strong abeg o

Sapphire86:
Will be on the lookout the next time I travel but if its horrible, I will mention the shit out of your moniker and read you!!!!

A try wont harm you

Sapphire86:
Ahahaha now I know I won't like your recommendation, I don't like dark choc and fruit choc. But Lindt choc especially the red pack milk choc has a way of melting in your mouth to give you that thrill

Whats the talent?
Dont shout or everyone to hear o
the lure and marketing thing is just a friendly jab o
i love ur vibe. we all do

Sapphire86:
This is neither a lure or marketing strategy.... I did this for good vibes and I discovered a talent in the process.

@sapphire86 ure an agent is this story a lure or marketing strategy? both are right and its really good

yeah ure right about shared facilities but some my foreign pals used a place and said it was really cool, safe and informal
no airport shuttle stuff - said cab or red nol card was better, buffet breakfast etc
its an adventure so i'm sharing my notes for criticisms

Sapphire86:
Hmmm I'll advise you to go with the Emirates flight of 245k, its a good price.

As for the hotel, 10k per night means its a shitty hotel or most likely a hostel where your goods are not too safe and you may have to use a shared bathroom. If you are on vacay, then live a little.

From my experience, I have never benefited from airport transfer on arrival so i would rather pay for it by using airport cabs. So, if they can guarantee pickup, then use them if not, take out the airport transfer from the package and negotiate the amount.
I think you should save yourself the hassle and let the travel agent to it. I'm a part time agent so i did mine myself but searching for hotel took time because I'm picky, I won't lie. You can do hotel yourself via booking but don't complain about the stress

But since you are going with 200k which is just about $555 or 2k AED you may not be able to shop much or tour much. I will suggest you take out 550 AED for feeding; hold 100 AED for incidentals (which you can splurge on at the airport at the end of your stay) and then the balance can be your mad money to buy anything you want to in Dubai

You can you make your trip immediately after world cup? That very 15th of July
Some people went to Russia you know

Anyway your name sounds like a business name
from my research, there are co-existing rooms you can get for 5k/6k
dont do Rwanda- layover in Congo - plus i heard Ebola is in congo atm, Why not Kenya instead? I got a 24hour Layover in Kenya to/fro and i already booked a 24 hour tour plus nightlife before my next day flight
you know 1 layover reduces ur cost too. Make it fun
Really i need a Nigerian companion just to compare tourism research papers
I did mine by myself visa is just about $100 could be less thats for the 2 weeks travel allowance one
i got an app for my everyday in dubai to fix me up
Unfortunately i'm not a good writer, so no one should ask me but @Sapphire86 i'm going have weirder fun than you babe, just name it - the app helps you book multiple events and gives up to 60%- 70% discounts mid-summer
Going be lit and i'm not going spend more than $2000

thefunclubenterprise:
Just read your story, its an interesting one, apparently I saw it at a time I was planning a trip to dubai in June or July when I get a break from business.

I had contacted wontra whom I usually book flights through and they sent me a list of three hotels, the cheapest being 232k for 7 days inclusive of visa and airport transfers. Then they got me a direct flight deal via Emirates for abt 245 or so.
Also another travel agent gave me a 400k deal for claridge hotel and Rwanda air (stop over inclusive)

I am considering taking the cheaper one (as Nigerian man wen I be), however a staff who was there in January advise I do everything myself without using agents, according to him I should secure the visa which he said cost him abt 45k, then go to booking.com where I will get deals for 10k per night around deira for 3 star hotels, that's about 70k, then I can book Rwanda air or Ethiopia air for abt 210k. making everything fall down to 325k. However I'm kind of skeptical about doing it myself as I don't want any hassles(unless it saves me some good amount then hassles can be my surname), I have never been there.

I want your advise from your experience, which should I go for, also do you have better advises for me?

I'm sure many people who you have watered their mouth with this trip will also want information relating to this.

Lastly I plan on taking only 200k for spending there aside the above costs, hope it will be enough, because my budget isn't more than 600k total.

PS: Any other person with good information can also reply, help a brother. Thank you

Sapphire86:
Awwwwww.... thnx

Have a toblerone for the day na..

@MetaPhysical did you have to tell us you went to France before talking about Toblerone? Just banter. lol
@Sapphire86 have you tried ATKINS' range of choc? sorry i wrote it in caps......that is the bomb for me - they got different genres i'll say fruit mix, pure dark choc...heavenly i swear.. way better than toblerone......Dubai must have it i hope. Atkins! Atkins!!
Try it and become addicted

Oh i get your context now. You are briefing for the other guy
His itinerary and mine cant work so whats the point of further jaw jaw
I thought you is a girl and wanted to make banter of me needing an escort
More grace to all our hardwork and effort
No pun intended, no hurt felt
Hope you understand now?
Thank you

boyjo:
But he didn`t mention or ask you to pay for him.
You didn`t bother either to explain the difference in timing to him, you just dismissed him like your rude self who thinks though he can pay his own fare, every other person out there can`t pay theirs because i don`t see why you assumed he wanted to beg you for his fare. Na wa o.

yeah i'm serious but he's going first week but mine end of second week
travelling partner is not to be misconstrued please, i'm not bearing any cost for the said partner - you should have had your own plans
thank you

boyjo:
Hahaha but you asked for a traveling partner, not fair! And to think I took you seriously

thank you

Sapphire86:
My research was borne out of the fact that I really would love to live there someday so i had been doing my homework.

You need to hold dollars, pounds or Euro, naira is not tenable there. But I think dey sell dirhams at Nigerian airport but its Better to go with the aforementioned currencies.

You can use your Nigerian debit card but clear with your bank ahead of time to avoid disappointment in case they say you need dollar card

No tourist map or app...

ok. bon voyage

nurexfutmx:
I plan going first week in July

PLEASE do we have anyone going to dubai second week in July for summer?
I would appreciate a companion Male or Female
Thank you
@Sapphire86
@OP please how did you make your research on dubai?

Do i have to change to dollars in Nigeria

Can i use my Naira debit card there?

Please help me with several pieces of advice needed to have quality while in dubai
