Nezan: I have been a silent follower of Spyder on all his threads and I must confess he is good. I just finished building my 4 bedroom bungalow all rooms ensuite with main and children's sitting, POP, step alluminium all courtesy of the Spyder inspiration. Kudos my man! you are doing a wonderful job.

Nice one bro.Seriously speaking,Oga Spider has been a great inspiration to many people me inclusive,i wouldnt have started my building project if not for him and am alone,my 4 bedroom is almost completed now.At times when i discuss with the guy supervising my project,he go just dey wonder how come i sabi about house construction like this smiley.
Infact,due to the immense knowledge i have garnered here,i had the idea of how much each stage of the project was going to cost before even asking the supervisor,i was able to haggle prices better and i was able to make better decisions.
Thanks a great deal Mr Syder,may God continue to bless you and your family.

NL1960:

@Demain_man,

Thanks. Just to get it very clearly so that i do not make any mistake. There are four walls in a bathroom. Let us use number 1,2,3,4 to denote them. It means that the total area to cover is (H1*FL1 + H2*FL2 + H3*FL3 + H4*FL4) where H = Height and FL = Floor Length. Is this what you mean?.

Measure the height of the wall,multiply it by the length of the wall,that is the area of that particular wall.Hope u get it.

Taha Waqar: I have read on internet that if some embassy rejects your visa then you cant get schengen visa again from any other country unless covered by a new visa from that same consulate(is it true??).

No,it's not true.Each time you apply for a Shengen visa,your application will be assessed based on your present condition and your supporting documents.Prior refusal does not necessarily mean automatic subsequent refusals.
Travel / Re: Food Items You Can Travel With From Nigeria To Europe, Most Especially Italy by Davedavy: 8:41am On Sep 14, 2012
boss-man:
Hello. I am billed to travel to Italy in a couple of days. Are there prohibited food items? I actually planned to take along fried meat, ground nut and beans so as to take care of the first few days before aclimatisation.

Good advice will be appreciated.

Meat, dairy and other animal products are not allowed into the EU from countries outside the EU.Moreover,meats are very cheap in Europe,you really dont need to bring it.I believe there should be no problem in bringing in beans and groundnuts though.My mum often bring me foodstuffs like egunsi powder,beans powder,gari,pundo yam,okro whenever she comes visiting.So i believe you will be fine bringing in those ones.It is better if you can get them in retail packages,that way the custom officers wont have problems identifying them.

Ikem44:
@Davedavy,pls ,i would like to chat with you on messenger conerning NDLEA...Add me on chykee4me@yahoo.com

Hello Ikem,i might not be able to chat on yahoo because i am very busy,i rarely chat.I believe what you need is NDLEA clearance certificate,the information i have about that might be outdated,i did it almost 6 years ago,so i might not be the best person to advice you.Anyway,this is what i believe you will need:

1) two guarantors
2) a sponsor who can provide you with his/her bank statement or if you have enough money in your account you can use yours

you'll go to the nearest NDLEA office and get the form,fill it out and submit it back to them,they'll give you a date to come with your guarantors,you guarantors will be interviewed,your certificate will come out after that.It is really no big deal,just go to the nearest NDLEA and they'll tell you how to go about it.

[quote author=Manthan][/quote]

In that case,i think you should appeal.If everything you stated above is true,you have a very good chance of winning the appeal.You can write the appeal letter yourself,there is no specific way to write it,address it to the right authority (details should be given to you by the French embassy).Explain to them in the appeal letter how important the training you are going for is to you as well as your organization,as you have stated above,you have your client base in Europe and you need to meet them from time to time due to the nature of your line of business,and as a newcomer,let them know you have to understudy your senior colleague and that is the reason you want to travel with him.You can also let them know how long your company has been in business,how much you earn,if you are married,or have kids let them know that as well,if you have any landed property,real estate to your name,let them know that also,this will further support your claim that you have close ties to your country.

All in all,it's not rocket science,just tell them the truth and support it with all the relevant documents you can lay your hands on,if your customers in Europe can write you a recommendation letter or invitation letter,it will also help.

Wishing you all the best.

babagboin: http://www.kitchenbutterfly.com/dutch-markets/the-hague/

I am not too busy right now so just browsed and got some really good info on the mkt including pics and opening hours. The link is above, in case you can't open it the website says the mkt opens, and i quote'four days a week – Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the market is almost always busy. Anytime of the day. Though I guess Saturdays are slightly busier than the others'. Also forgot to mention, pls pls be careful of pickpockets o, they full that mkt. Anyway I trust that no sharp naija bro will fall victim but still be careful with ur wallet.



u are God sent babagboin,thanks a lot.

babagboin: Hello,
I presently live and work in the haugue and have done so for the past 5 months. As per food do you mean cooked Nigerian food? Unfortunately since I got here I am yet to find a Nigerian restaurant in Den Haag, only a Ghanian one that tries to do Nigerian dishes, Thai,chinese and other restaurants. Have to warn you though that restaurant food here is annoyingly expensive. You can end up spending €15 for one single plate of food, as against #5 in nearby London.

If it is raw food you want your best bet would have been to go to the open market in hobbemaplein. There you will find lots of african food like yam,plantain,beans etc. It is also relatively cheap(eg €1 for 3 plantains etc).

I have enclosed a link of more information about the hague below.

http://en.denhaag.nl/en.htm

I would have come to bid you 'welcome' for a few minutes but unfortunately I am travelling out this weekend. Have fun and feel free to ask me any other questions you have.

WOW! thanks a lot,the information you provided is very helpful.i mean raw food and not cooked food smiley,so i'll surely check hobbemaplein out.Hope it is not too far from den haag centraal station smiley

sissi :
1) you have not provided proof of sufficient means of substinence, for the duration of the intented stay or for the return to the country of origin or residence, or for the transit to a third country into which you are certain to be admitted, or you are not in a position to acquire such means lawfully.

2) your intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiry of the visa could not be ascertained.

These are the 2 reasons I mentioned in my previous comment ....Can anybody explain what do they need exactly?

1) They need a proof that you have paid for the course you are going for,they also need proof that you have enough money to take care of your accommodation and living expenses in France.You ought to provide them proof of accommodation paid for in France for the duration of your course as well as your bank account showing that you have access to enough money for your living expenses.

2) They are interested in knowing that you will not abscond once issued the visa,hence you need to proof to them that you will return back to Nigeria,probably back to your well paid job or successful business.

Manthan: Dear friends, Please help me.

I have applied for the France visa as a short stay, it got refused, The reason state behind this as per them they say:- 1) Justifaction for the Purpose and conditions of the intended of stay was not provided.
2) the information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and consitions of the intended stay was not reliable.

Can you please please Guide me what do I need to do now, as I was travelling there as a training purpose.
As on the refusal letter, on the bottom they have mention to Appeal against the decision, or do you think is better to submit again fresh new application. 
Please help me out.
As I have google about the appeal procedure, as it is not clear..and also I don't know how can I appeal and what document I have to provide then for the appeal.
I am completely blank, very confused what to do.
Help me out, 
Many thnx in advance.

How is the training you are going for relevant to your present occupation/course of study ?.Why are you going for the training in France and not elsewhere?is this type of training not available in your country?Who is sponsoring the training,you?If you,why do you want to commit such enormous amount of money to the training?How recognized are the organizers?
These are some of the questions you need to ask yourself before filing an appeal,if you are sure the answers to the questions i asked above are positive,then you can file your appeal.

sissi :
Hi There, few days ago I got a refusal for the same reasons the last memeber is presenting. Can anybody explain to me what is needed to make this file complete. my mistake is that i didnt include the proof confimation of the payment for my month course, since it was mentioned in the invitation that i'm staying for a month in paris. I'm struggling to understand these two reasons since they dont provide any demonstration. My second question is reapplying for a france visa can be only done like 2 months later ad i dont want to lose my time. [b]Can I apply for a spain visa right away without waiting for two months [/b]or I have to since it's a shengen visa as well. But first I would like it if you explain guys to me what do they mean exactly by these two reasons!

1) You out to have included the proof of payment for the course you are going for,you should always back up your application with all the necessary paperwork.The onus is on you to do that.
2) What are you going to do in Spain?this might seem as desperation on your path,i will advice you to wait it out and reapply for the French visa,if all your docs are intact,you will be issued the visa.

Travel / Re: POLAND MED Schools (pozman & Warsaw) Versus WINDSOR Medical School by Davedavy: 1:00pm On Aug 22, 2012
bukahands: Hey nairalanders,
Please I would like to get advise on whether to attend pozman medical school or warsaw med school both in poland or windsor/UMHS medical school in the carribean. I want to attend pozman because its accredited by both new york and carlifornia medical board, and I would like to work in the US upon graduation, while windsor/UMHS which is located in the carribean aren't approved by those boards so u can't practise in all American states only a few, please would like to get info on pozman city, living cost, how the people relate to black etc especially from people in poland.

If you can afford Poznan,i will advice you to go to Poznan.There are lots of foreigners studying medicine in that University,you'll meet students from UK,America,Canada etc.Poznan is a lovely city.There are many Universities in Poznan,so there are lots of foreigners.Nice parks to go to,cheap pubs in the city center if you are into shayo.All in all,you'll enjoy Poznan.
From my experience (i lived there for more than a year) people are generally friendly,have an open mind,make friends with the locals and network.There are few international churches in Poznan if you are a christian.
You can ask more specific questions on valuemd forum :

i will like nairaland student studing in germany to pls responses to my questions pls.

Thanks for your anticipated co operation

Thanks



First thing you should do is to start learning German now,as a student in Germany, you are permitted to work,though the amount of time you are allowed to work is limited,and getting any kind of part time job without the knowledge of the local language won't be easy. Before you decide to study in Germany, you must be certain that you can support yourself financially for at least one year.Please do not rely on finding a part-time job as soon as you arrive in Germany, which will provide you with enough money to cover the costs of living. This is not usually the case.Once you pick the language though,you should be able to get a part time job without much problem especially in the big cities.

After ending your studies, you can extend your stay and spend up to one year looking for a job that is appropriate to your qualifications. Highly-qualified foreigners who have a job offer in Germany, can receive a (permanent) Settlement Permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis) without the need for any labour market checks or the approval of the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit).
