Yes you are right, but I didn't want the potential of a scam to stop many people from having the opportunity.

Good idea. Alright

naijamanyoutube:
My friend said it’s because of their brown skin, so Nigerians call them that because they look like cocoa. It’s Yoruba.

Oh!
Sounds sweet. Those people should be happy they got a nice nickname

naijamanyoutube:
Naija people for here, call Mexicans "Kokoye".

Why do they callthem kokoye?

naijamanyoutube:
The deal is that soon I will start interviewing people on the streets for my YouTube channel Naija Man.

And when I interview a pretty girl, I will ask if she wants to share her social media with my subscribers, if she agrees, I go post am for una to go to work and and win her love.

If you hit jackpot, she could be your ticket to a better life o.

In fact I go ask the guys I interview too, so my Naija sisters self fit find love.

What do you guys think about my idea?

Nah guy man you be.
I hope those innocent people won't get scammed. You know what I mean. No offense!

Uruguay -

Here are some of the things that shocked us for Uruguay

Once we arrived at the airport and passed immigration, my brother’s lawyer, who is a lady, came to pick us up. She was there with her boyfriend who also is a lawyer.
I stretched my hand out to shake her, but she instead came close and pecked me on the cheek. That’s how you greet women that are not total strangers.

It took me a while to get used to, but later I started enjoying it. Lol
My older brother got used to it fast because him na bad man. Lol

Second shock: People pay for their own bus fare.

There was a couple we met at church, they will always be hugging and kissing in public, but when they got into the bus, the guy paid for himself and the girl paid for herself. And that’s normal over there.

It was a big shock for me because while in Nigeria going to school in my Oshodi High School uniform, any senior that gets on the same bus pretty much paid for me, even though we don’t know each other.

Shock number 3: When someone invites to go eat outside, it doesn’t mean they are paying for your food. Make sure you have your own money and order according to your pocket.

My brother fell into that trap, and he had zero money for pocket. The other guys had to donate to bail him out. Lol

Shock number 4: Eat well well before going to house party o! They don’t serve food like Naija. Na only biscuits, drinks and cake you go smell.

We learned the hard way. We were starving ourselves before party so we go chop well well like we do in Naija, just to find out no food. Imagine the hunger we endured before getting back home to eat.

Also it's very common to live together as boyfriend and girlfriend in Uruguay, without getting married, and even have kids. Nobody dey push anybody to marry like we do in Nigeria.

Uruguayans are very welcoming.
I made a lot of friends on the streets, and sometimes go to their homes just hours after meeting and sometimes sleep there for some days. It was crazy and fun.

Getting papers for there was pretty easy. You just had to show that you have been in the country legally for 6 months, and you will be issued their temporary residential permit for 1 year. After 1 year you can get permanent for 2 years, then after 5 years become a citizen.

Uruguay being a very small country, it was easy to meet a lot of foreigners from more developed countries, mainly through hip hop, because we were the minority and had to organize the hip hop parties ourselves.
Uruguay was dominated by Cumbia type of music, and Rock n Roll was the only other genre the youth listened to.

So I started chilling with children of rich foreigners in Uruguay for work or business.
It later to a job for me as a Graphic designer.

I also got two acting gigs for tv commercials, for being different.

A funny story: Don’t bring your girlfriend around here!

I met this Uruguayan guy, we became friends, months later he brought his brand new girlfriend to our house to show off. Weeks later, the girl dumped him for my brother. Lol I no tell una say my brother na bad man? Lol

After reading your posts what came to my mind is that, life was really good, life is good but what comes next we don't know with everything happening in the world now.

It was pretty sweet back then they way you described your journey in Uruguay. I don't think one can find is so easy like that today.

It's well. I am enjoying this thread. Well done sir!

I smell so many scammers on this thread.
Make una shine eyes o
We don't want another suicide story o

Nahwah o
Some people hate to be corrected sha.
Abi nah ego dey worry dem?
I do not also understand the hate on justwise. He is a moderator, which means he has the right to do certain things.
If you are also a moderator you could do more than him.
It's well

Hello house,

Firstly, congratulations to everyone that has gotten their visas approved recently. Thank you for the tips. My question is that when your visa is approved, do you pay the reciprocity fee immediately at the embassy or you can send it later before picking up your passport. And how much is the fee currently?

Thank you

They do not demanded for reciprocity fee anymore.

Today, I was hit by an epiphany...
I normally drive around in a toyota camry (2002 model). Though somewhat old, it gets me from point A to point B, I use it for school runs, grocery runs and for work. So, today, my elder sister used the car to go get some stuff and I had to run some urgent errands for My mum. I had to use her car, a toyota highlander (2015 model).
On driving for some minutes, I was slamming some cool jams on the stereo, I realized that my mum's car was actually better, controls and all; the steering wheel turned smoother, the brakes worked better, the car accelerated smoother. It was then it dawned on me that her car was all round better than mine, that driving wasn't just about moving from point A to point B. I would not have come to the conclusion if I had not driven her car (which I was somehow skeptical about driving at first).
That exactly is how those who have been in Nigeria all their lives will never know how a sane society works, how stuff are meant to be. We are so used to the fvckery in nigeria that we see it as a way of life, we have gotten so used to suffering and smiling. We have been so used by our leaders, go to politics section, you'd see our youths taking sides and defending these same persons who are robbing us blind, the same people who have sworn never to relinquish power, who have sworn to keep nigeria in this undeveloped and backward state. Go to romance section, my mates are posting all over social media, making noise about bbn, "teamefe! teamtboss!" they cry, I shake my head in pity. My brothers and sisters, try as much as you can to leave nigeria, hustle for a tourist visa and visit a first world country, only then would you realize how messed up nigeria is. only then will you appreciate the difference between a Camry tiny light and a Bugatti Veyron.

I remember this post very well.
Still valid and apt

Hi Vision202,

Yes I'm doing great.

Apologies to everyone for not writing sooner.

Everything is back to normal.

It's summer now and yesterday was the hotest so far! Like blazing hot, skin frying, hot air ( of the little blowing) kinda hot. I was sweating like a christmas goat in class after I decided to do fit fam and trek It was early morning oo. 7:30am.

By afternoon when my friend came to pick me with car, the journey from an AC lit classrom, down the stairs, to the car, plus the wait for the car AC to pick up saw me sweating profusely again. My friend that sat in the car and drove reached home and applied lotion on her face that sun burned her

Anyways, that's how hot it was/is in summer here. Last year was milder I think.....or because i was always indoors due to covid I didn't notice? Anyways.....

On teaching, things are back to normal now like I mentioned before. Schools are on summer break but thank God for Centers aka Lesson

I'm back to teaching everyday. Phew.....it's a huge relief from not being able to teach for one year!

Now i get to hear funny names like Cat, Chipmunk, Dream, Spiderman and the likes and listen to some of their funny accent and way of asking What's your name I (Washyourlame in a sing song)

Still maintained some of my online classes too which is good.

That's bascically it....People go around without masks now....some. The fear has reduced or is forgotten sef.

For those coming in, no more quarantine but you still get to do the covid test because of course we're from Africa.

Mama! Well done

I salute you

First of, I want to apologize for taking this long to post our transcript, we just had our traditional wedding and ceremony last Saturday. So it's been quite demanding.
Since we only had our registry which declared us a couple before we went for our interview.

F1 & F2 Visa Approval
May 27
Abuja
Fine white bald man


N.B. : I am the F2(my first attempt), hubby is the F1(his second attempt, first attempt for MSc, second for renewal of visa for continuation of his PhD)

VO: Have you traveled out of the country before?

F1: Yes

VO: What about you?

F2: No?

VO to F1: Where did you go?

F1: He first answered for "when"(apparently didn't hear the VO actually asked for "where"
Omaha for my masters studies.

VO: Okay, you had some research work?

F1: Yes, I did and published my thesis as well.

VO: I'm thinking your relationship with her(me), is she your spouse?

F1: Yes, she is my spouse

VO: How long have you been married?

F1: We got married 3 days ago (we just had our registry wedding 3 days ago because he just got back to 9ja less than a week ago)

VO: (nods head, I leaned towards husbandman to ask him if no need to show the Vo our evidence of marriage, he said no)

I see you have enough funding to cover for you and your spouse.

F1: Yes, I do

VO to me: what do you do?

Me: I currently work as a volunteer staff at "my ppa: where I recently completed my NYSC. I am on the project management team whose aim is to organise educational programs for indigenous teenage girls.
( Vo kept nodding head, stopped at "girls", wasn't sure if I should add the number of teenage girls I've been able to influence positively )

And then the VO faced F1, asked about his course of study.

VO to F1: (checked through his i20) I see you already started your program

F1: Yes

VO to F1: What's your research area?

F1: discussed it at length

VO to F2: You will be with him all through the period of his study right?

Me: Yes.

Thats how he held our passports and gave us white paper oo.

It was like movie.

NB: We actually thought we were the first to get to the embassy on Friday, not knowing there's another entrance, which is even the main entrance because most people went in through there.

We lodged at Olympia Hotel so we left few minutes to 6, trekked to the embassy. Our interview was scheduled for 8am.
We wanted to be the first set to be interviewed.

Did screening and all.

We had our registry on Tuesday, went with our registry certificate, printed two of the pictures we had before husbandman(F1) went for his graduate studies(3 years ago). Went with pictures taken at registry.

None was checked, not even marriage certificate.

I just want to say
1. We found God's favour, honestly nothing more matters than this
2. We were only asked from the questions we practised, only additional one was what F1's research work is about.
3. We met with the fine bald American man
4. Read Nairaland back to back, asked questions and practised with people's transcript.
5. Imho, there is no one size fits all(especially with dressing, some were on slippers, I think what matters most is being comfortable in whatever you choose to wear)
6. Do your part, it's not easy to be calm honestly but try to be calm, say your words well
7. No deficit, funding covered for all with excess
8. Husbandman explained himself well
9. I did too for the 1½ question asked me.

Thank you Nairaland. Should anyone have any question feel free to quote me here. Peace!

So happy for you.

I think this thread is long overdue.

Justwise what do you think?
