TravelRe: Life In Ukraine by Davedavy: 6:20pm On Oct 05, 2010
Vicjustice:
   Ukraine? Well, take these measures into account:
*Be prepared to always watch your back whenever a person walks behind you as the Skin-Head racists there are extremely physical and can attack you with deadly force.
* Always make sure you don't walk alone at night or in an empty street during day time.
* Always make sure you're fit and athletic enough to enable you run fast for your life whenever you're being chased in the streets by their Skin-Head racists.
* Prepare yourself to always elude banana missiles that are thrown anonymously at you in the streets through upstair windows.
* Be prepared to get familiar with the "Hail Hitler" salute, and also with the name "Makaka" (Russian word for Monkey) without protest as protesting them may cost you blood.
* You'd learn to be appreciative whenever someone says to your face "Go home Nigger" or calls you "Makaka" because, the same person could have shot or stabbed you and ran away.
* Be prepared to be mockingly offered bananas occasionally, and know that you won't have any police to report the abuses to as there is no law in place against racism in Ukraine.
* Ensure that you have enough funding from Nigeria to maintain yourself as you would never find a job how much more to talk about its poor wages ranging from 754 to 900 Ukrainian Hryvnia (about 70 to 85 Euros) a month.GBAM!!!
* Be prepared to sometimes sleep in extremely cold room during their biting winter as you might find it difficult to pay for the Soviet style central heater.
* Be prepared to study in an ancient Greek style alphabets
* Bear in mind that your education certificate will not be recognised in EU countries as you will definitely have to upgrade.
* Bear in mind that you would have to return to Nigeria as soon as you finished your education because, you would not like to become a wayward person like many stranded and frustrated Nigerians before you.
* Remember that you're married, therefore, you can't benefit from the only good thing i reckon about them, they have some of the most beautiful women in the world: tall, slim, blonde, blue-eyed sexy girls who crave for black guys  kiss So, your wife might be in danger of  lipsrsealed cool cheesy grin
GBAM!!!!

Whats the advantage of using paypal? Any help?
The advantage of using paypal is that you can file a paypal dispute through paypal or a card dispute through your bank if your good is not received or not as described.
Most companies accepting paypal wont want to scam you because it is risky for them,but most companies liimit the amount you can pay with paypal.

@ methodman
Your system seems to be working,congrats on that,  but do note that money management/Risk management is the only way you can be a sucessful forex trader.Never bet more than 2 to 3% of your account on a trade,that is only way you can last in this game.Forex is not an ATM, in fact it can issue bankruptcy summons to your account very fast.

My request is to at least understand what you are trying to trade.Demo this system some more, Without understanding the basic philosophy of a system, you are absolving your responsibility as an investor.The trend can change at anytime,do you know how your system will cope then?the market might be trending today and ranging tomorrow,how will your system cope?
few weeks is not enough to know the strength and weekness of a system,it might double your account today and crash it tommorrow.
Wishing you all the best.

Be careful with alibaba,even those verified sellers are all bleeping scammers,verification on alibaba only means paying a token of $$.
I am also into importation business from China,though i sell my stuffs in Europe and not in Nigeria(at least for now),i am into consumer electronics,computer accesories,phone accesories,etc.My advice for you will be to find someone trustworthy in China,that can help you out to buy your stuffs and send them to you as your money is not enough for you to travell to China and do that yourself,those Chinko guys need serious close marking or else they will scam the hell out of you and send you grade F products.
But yes,the goods are cheap and very profitable  grin.

Hi Davedavy and opcomm,
I will like to know if I'm gonna apply for visa @ russian embassy here in Lagos or Abuja.The information is required  in one of the forms I have to fill in here(country and city where visa will be arranged).
You can apply at the Russian embassy in Lagos since you live in Lagos. I believe it is easier for you than traveling to Abuja, they issue visas too in Lagos.

pat123:
Secondly,what are the other documents I've got to legalise at the embassy aside my educational certificates?
You need to legalize your University transcripts as well, since you are going  for Masters degree. All your educational qualifications as well as University transcripts must have two stamps; one from the Ministry of Foreign affairs and one from Russian Embassy(consulate).

pat123:
Finally,do u have an idea of how I can go about the NDLEA stuff?
Go to the NDLEA office in Ikoyi for the requirements, I think it should be two reference letters, a letter from your sponsor and his/her recent bank statement.Anyway,once you get to their office, they will tell you all you need to do.

pat123:
Moreover,I will like to know the visa acquisition procedure from the point of submission onward.
You also need Police character certificate, you can get that in Lagos too at Ikoyi.It’s an easy process and you will get it within hours as well as Police Deportation Certificate(I am not sure of the correct name),you’ll get that also within a day.
After you must have gotten these documents(Police character certificate, Police Deportation certificate, original invitation letter from the University and NDLEA certificate)you need to go for HIV test at the hospital designated by the Embassy, and that’s all.


pat123:
If all thes are done,could there be any difficulty in securing the visa?
No, you wont have any problem in obtaining a visa once you have all the documents I mentioned above.
You can also call the Russian embassy in Lagos for their requirements and the time required in processing the documents.

Hi opcomm and davedavy,
I really appreciate your help so far.I'm really confused with this racism thing.Actually,I'm applying for school outhere cos of the low tuition.I would have prefered any other place with a tuiition as low as $2500.Anyway,if my best bet is still to go there,can you tell me how life is in Petersburg in general,especially for international students/foreigners?Moreover,how can one avoid impendinmg trouble with the so call racist 'skull head'?btw P'burg and moscow,which is a bit better in term of racism and other things that make life worthwhile in russia.Thanks and have a great weekend as I will be expecting your response soon.
I totally agree with opcomm,Moscow is a very diverse city and if you can afford the tuition fees,it will be a better option for you.There are lots of naija students in Moscow and there is a deep mixture of international communities both in and out of the universities.

It takes time and a hell of a lot of DISCIPLINE to lose weight (or maintain a figure).  Sadly, the average Nigerian woman would rather you "love me for who I am".  grin

I know race is not a factor in weight loss/watching.  How do I know? Try running 20+ miles a week, add some other cardio, etc, etc. Then come and bleat "I'm fat 'cos I'm black",  If you can.

As for racism in Russia,i mentioned it before,infact this is the first thing you must know before making your decision,Racism is high,though it was much more terrible,and things are getting better,but make no mistake man,Racism is a reliality in Russia.
I lived in the student hostel during my stay in Russia,so i was fine,you can easily get attacked by drunk hooligans as well as skin heads especially at night.
I dont want to discourage you,but if you have the means of studying in other places in Europe,it will be better for you,Russia is a very close country up till today,though there are a lot of Nigerians living and studying in Russia,i know for sure the Federal Govt send a lot of students to Russia yearly,but men,Russia is not an ideal country for foreigners.
I will give you a link to the website of the Nigerian community in Russia,they are always very helpful,most of them have been living in Russia for ages so they definately know better.

i dont know much about Rostov.Definately,if you are thinking of working then stick to the big cities especially Moscow and Petersburg.It will be very difficult for you to get job in smaller towns,almost all the opportunities in Russia are in the big cities,you will be able to mix with different kind of people not only students.Another advice i will give you is to try to mix with people,things work almost like in naija over there too,na who you know.
All in all,if you can get a school in Moscow or Petersburg,i think it will be the best for you,like i said earlier,i dont know much about Rostov but one thing i know is that,if you are in a small town in Russia,you can as well forget about any chance of working,even Russians in small towns are jobless.

Hi davedavy,pls,I will like to know if the visa granted in the case of applying for PCP is multiple or single cos I will love to be visiting home while studying outhere.Not opnly that,I hope it wont be too difficult to secure the visa after getting invitation from the school?.Moreover,what are the kinds opf job that are available for students if at all i have any window to work.Finally,are they fairly payed job?like how much per hour.
Once you get your invitation,there are few things you still need to do before you can get a visa.You need to do the NDLEA clearance,you best bet is to tell the school to scan you a copy of the invitation so that you can start the NDLEA clerance ASAP,it takes some time,better still,if you know anybody working in NDLEA,then it might just be faster for you.AFter getting the NDLEA clearance,then you will be required to take AIDS test,as well as Police clearance certificate.With those three documents,and your educational qualifications you can apply for the visa.
i will advice you to get all your documents certified by the Russian consulate in Naija as well as at the Ministry of Education in Abuja if you have not done that.

As per your kind of visa,you will be given a single entry visa to travel to Russia,but on getting to Russia and after registering with your school by paying all the necesary fees,you will be issued a one year multiple residence permit with which you can travel out and to Russia as you wish.
Concerning the pay and finding a job,that is very hard to answer,it all depends,i knew of a guy getting around 15K rubbles working part time during school terms (that is about 515 dollars),i know another one getting around 10K rubbles working part time in a cafe (that is around 343 dollars).But mind you,jobs are very scarce and these guys speak Russian fluently.

If you are the rugged type and dont mind doing very rough jobs,then your best bet might be during the summer at the sea side,there is what they call Tumba Yumba,this is basically a form of entertainment provided by Africans in form of beating drums,dressing in African attires and taking pictures with the locals.Guys make a lot of dough though,but the job is TOUGH.And if you can plait hair(braids),that might be your best bet.

All in all,be prepared for a very tough time,new environment,new culture,new language and the get yourself a lot of warm clothes because Russia is very cold.You still have not answered my question about the city you are going.
TravelRe: Advice On Study In Poland by Davedavy: 10:58am On Apr 13, 2010
This post is quite interesting and i will like to add my 2 cent.The truth of the matter is that jobs are scarce and the pay is not all that good.Teaching English is a way to start especially when you are educated at least to degree level,but at the same time,there are lots of opportunities here if you can do your home work.Living costs is considerably lower than other EU countries.
I have Polish residence permit and presently have a registered business in Poland,it is very easy to register a company especially a sole proprietorship.
Your residence permit allows you to travel to all the shengen states,hence you have access to the large EU market,not in terms of work ,but at least you can go there to buy stuffs and send them to Naija to sell or bring them here to sell
Another thing i have realized is that Poles are very hard working,even when what you are paying them is little.This has resulted in influx of businesses in recent times.
Bottom line,if you are planning to come here to find a job and make good dough,forget about it.But this place is very good for setting up a business and grow.
Bottom line,have a plan,pray about it and follow your dream.What works for Mr A might not necessarily work for Mr. B.
