That's how our dog that just gave birth went out last week and never returned. I'm sure that some unscrupulous individuals already turned it to pepper soup.

Pls can u estimate d total cost of getting to Russia from Nigeria.
And how does Russia tax work.
Is d tax in Russia very high like UK or low?
And how is d language barrier like in Russia bcuz I know they don't speak English in Russia.
So how do u communicate over there in Russia?
Like what language do u use in communicating in Russia.


Your question plenty, but I'll answer the much I can. I guess I've answered something somewhere...
1. It depends on the school and your payment mode. Tuition fee ranges from 60k rubles to more than 500k rubles (it depends on you). If you get a full scholarship, with 3.5m(legalization, authentication, visa appointment, flight, miscellaneous etc), you are good to go. It will take you from 9ja to your school hostel.

2. I don't know anything about tax... They pay me my full salary or make small deductions due to misconduct or whatever. They give me 2 square 3 course meal any day I come to work.

3. They don't speak English. We use translator and sign language. Even the ones that may know how to speak English are not ready to speak it. With time, you will start picking their language and adapting.

In addition, apart from language and weather issues, they are friendly and nice. The system is organize... Things are relatively cheap too.

Valuable insight!
From the little math I have done, I see that a month's rent can be covered with a week's worth of salary provided that you have a 10 hour work day throughout the week, which I think is incredible.
Are there taxes that have to be paid and what percentage of your salary do you have to pay in taxes?
Like I said, depending on your taste, your days salary can cover your rent... Where I work, I've never paid tax... I really don't know anything about tax... They pay me my full salary unless there's a little fine for one misconduct or the other.

Please if you have more insights on studies in Russia, how the system is over there, policies too, especially as it relates to foreign students, I would be glad to still hear them.

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!, good for you. I graduated with 2:2, I don't want to be pessimistic though
Russia don't operate like that... Someone with third class will comfortably get a full scholarship... You can study biology in BSc and do arts in Masters... Nobody cares.. just have the requirements and work experience... You can defend why you want to switch from course A to course v and you are good to go...

KAM3KAZI:
Wow, I do have some questions though.
What is the minimum wage in that area in Russia and what percentage of your monthly income do you have to spend to procure these items?
Let me give you an insight... For foreigners that do menial jobs, you can get paid between 200 to 400 rubles per hour... Na you know how many hours you Wana work for.... For someone that earns 300 rubles and work for 10 hours daily, that is 3k rubles...

Truth is, where I work, I get 2 square meal daily that consists of the 3 course meal... At the end of the day, you see that you can't even finish your 1 day salary in 1 week... It all boils down to individual choice sha. Things are relatively cheap in Russia except accomodations that cost around between 10 to 30k rubles per month, depending on your choice ... Those items she bought for that amount may be quarter of what she earns daily....

OP , How do you cope with their extreme weather and how are you still in Russia despite the ongoing war
I'm not the owner of this link, but I just feel like answering you.

Truth is, there are right clothing for the weather and I can bet you that 70% of Russians don't even know that there's war going on because nobody ever heard about it or feels the effect... Maybe those that borders with Ukraine... Most times, it's people outside Russia that even update us... We go about our business like always...

You are right about American having great weather and having more farm produce... To be sincere, I don't know were Russia gets their food from, but I'll proudly tell you that things are very cheap in Russia compared to Nigeria.

You sit behind your phone and type rubbish. Do you know how large the country is? Is all parts covered in snow all year round? Read about the country Russia and all the amenities they offer to their citizens. Do you know education is almost free in Russia for its people?
Do not always go with western propaganda that promotes their failing countries and try to bring down others succeeding without them.
Do you know that in Yakutsk they do not put off their car engines except they are parking it at night? The engine keeps running because if put off it freezes, Yet petrol is dirt cheap over there and we that are not at war or under sanctions still petrol prices is over the roof.
We are being messed up by criminals minded rulers controlled by these Western devils through IMf and world bank.
Most immigrants are also on scholarship with tuition and accommodations paid for, and things are very cheap.. with 700 rubles monthly sub, you are entitled to unlimited transportation.

Mr Historian. I bet you don't know that Britain, France and others all signed a friendship agreement with Hitler, the same agreement the Soviet Union signed.

And guess what? They signed it a year before the Soviet Union did.

Did you also know that US banks funded Hitler and the German war machine as it is doing now in Ukraine? I guess you don't, you've spent so much of your life bathing yourself in western propaganda you've lost the ability to think for yourself.

You let western media do the reasoning for you.

And btw Russia/USSR killed about 86% of the Nazis. They conquered Berlin, surrounded Hitler's bunker before Hitler shot himself. Hitler's remains is still in a museum in Moscow as we speak.


So get down on your knees and continue thanking Russia for the freedom you enjoy today. They paid for it in blood. By now you'd be a farm animal speaking German if not for Russia.

The western allied forces killed only 5% of the Nazis and fought in the lowest intensity battle areas. The Russians fought on the bloodiest and fiercest front which was the eastern front.

There's a reason why only Russia is allowed to celebrate WWII Victory Day, not even Ukraine or the west is allowed to do that. The west celebrates their Normandy/D-Day Landing only.

Russia won the war singlehandedly but today the US takes all the glory. It's in their nature so not surprised.


And please don't tell me it was the USSR and not Russia. Matter of fact, Ukrainian SSR was easily conquered by the Nazis, it was the Russians that came to their rescue.

The so called lend lease program the US provided to the Russians was only about 5% of the total military equipment Russia used in fighting that war. And the amount ($11 billion in today's money) has since been paid back in full by Russia.

Generally... I believe food stuffs is far cheaper in Russia compared to Nigeria. I'm talking from experience... I can't finish my 1 day salary in one week on feeding because most companies tend to feed their workers with 2 square meal.. Russia is a first world country that subsidized most things for people living here.

Eww embarassed most of them are fond of doing that! Because they are lazy to go outside or into the toilet to throw their saliva
Not really, dear. I don't have any cravings, but then, I can't swallow my own saliva cos it tastes funny to me. It's not easy going to the bathroom every minute to spit. I chew gums and small chops to control saliva. Don't forget that saliva production triples during pregnancy in some women...

I also forget things too...

Apart from those two, nothing else changes. I don't have any cravings or symptoms during pregnancy... No swollen body parts or anger issues...

Reading comments got me laughing
....got my first $100 job from fiverr 2016 to do product testing or scrutiny and since then I have never stopped working online and the experiences and payment for services rendered is quite gratifying!
Reason I'm an advocate for Online Remote Job type and Earnings.
Like I've stated here many times that if you have access to the internet + browsing gadgets and you ain't making even $5 on a daily then it's your undoing (Fault)!
Learn how to earn online if you don't know how to.
Earning online requires you build an Online presence then source for clients that are readily available to pay for your services where directly done or outsourced.
If you can get just 10 clients that pay you $30 for simple tasks monthly that's $300 for 3-5 hours daily routines!
The good thing about working online is that there are billions of online users looking for good hands to handle a thing or two for their business or organization .
Make sure your charges are fair and negotiable.

Proactivity Leads To Productivity !!!




True! Many people interested in earning online don't realize they need a mentor!


Building online presence if you are skilled requires two steps
#Creating an e-portfolio (e-resume & work proofs)
#Been in the faces of prospective clients and showcasing your e-portfolio for everyone to see and patronize your skills or services.

NB
For those sending PMs pls stop just kindly reach out via the facebook ID on my profile with the word "MENTOR ME" if you are skilled but if you don't have any skill then be ready to pay for my training.
Mind you don't expect a mentorship that will prepare you within a space of 14days and see to you earning @least $5 daily or $300 monthly to be cheap! Though there is an installment payment mode in place due to popular demands from those that have reached out.
The Choice to grow wealth is a fundamental step to take and earning online will help anyone achieve it fast.



To you it's not real because it doesn't have a pic right? SMH @you.....it's funny how you reason? I'm not sure you are serious about trying to reach out.

I stated it here already....read
Another habit to grow in order to earn effectively online is the ability to see details and follow instructions!

@Seniorwriter
Would love to learn from you. I don't know how to inbox someone from this group. Please, how does it work?

2) Pentecostal church dey directly under my flat.
3) the step is so tiny that we used rope to drag in our stuffs. Nothing can pass through the staircase.
4) the landlord is an extortionist. There is always reason for us to pay money... Imagine paying #500 per pumping of one over head tank. With monthly payment of almost 7k
5) rules over plenty for the house..
6) my rent na 270k...
7) two flats share one prepaid.meter...
For this life, no allow person help you find house cos na you go hear am.

Almost everything was useful, but we left the bouquet, flowers, few sourvenirs, spray, cake lighter, hand gloves, jewelries, reception slippers and gown, crown, etc, cos I can't mention all..... Intact we practically forgot all those little things that matters inside a box in one of the boot, before we could say jack Robinson, d owner of the said car have traveled back to his state..
But people really didn't take note of all those things... I wonder how my cousin kept our personal stuffs in another person's car thinking it was ours?
Truth is, they didn't matter, we only noticed most stuffs while watching the video... I used my wedding gown for reception... We were still d happiest couple and we are yet to get our box of wedding items waybilled back to us, though I don't need most of the stuffs again... But the money would have been used for something better..
All that matters is your happiness...
