@worry246,I claimed aduro immediately I got to ireland,no notice of deportation whatsoever,I never lived there just got my child pasport and I left before they could even call me for interview.I applied for UK spousal visa.I have documents to proof to them that I have been living in nigeira all these while.thanks

The moment you seek asylum in any EU country,your information is recorded in a database accessible to all the participants according to the  Common European Asylum System (CEAS),that is why it is not possible to seek asylum in two countries within the EU.Once your case is denied by a member state,you are not eligible to travel to any other participant country to seek asylum.

Now in your case, Ireland has flagged you as an absconder, they have issued a removal notice and updated your information in their system as an absconder and failed asylum seeker. Reason why you are faced with this problem.

My advice,request for any information the Irish Immigration is holding on you, do this under section 3 of the Data Protection Act.

“[i] Individuals may make a request from Data Ireland as follows:
Right to establish existence of personal data (section 3 Data Protection Acts).
Under section 3 of the Data Protection Acts an individual may write to us asking whether we keep any personal data on him or her. Where we hold such personal data on you, we shall respond within 21 days of receipt of the request, giving you a description of the data we hold on you and the purposes for which it is kept.

You do not have to pay a fee for making a request of this type under section 3 of the Data Protection Acts. Please make your request in writing to us at: Data Protection Co-ordinator, Data Ireland, 3rd Floor, Chapel House, 21-26 Parnell St., Dublin 1 stating that you are making your request under section 3 of the Data Protection Acts. Please note that before we respond to your request we may require that you provide us with satisfactory evidence of your identity and address.
We do not accept section 3 requests via telephone, email or text message[/i].”

Once you know what they have on file about you, you can then proceed to seek legal advice as to what to do if you think it isn’t correct.

^^^^ nice pics.

I expect some input on my enquiries and also a rough estimate in the cost of roofing as i intend to progress with the block works immediately i am satisfied with whether to amend the structure or not.

Dang, Unfortunately the other files refused to upload

try to reduce the size,there is a limitation to the size of file you can upload,if it's larger than 200KB,it won't upload,probably that's the problem.

Bros Let me share with you a rough estimate of what it cost me to builld my Security house and soak-away pit

This is just an estimate as I did not build it alone.

First I have 3 sets of soak away in my compound

The main house soak-away pit is 10ft wide by 10ft wide by 10 deep. and its cousin 6ft by 6ft by 6ft.
I digged the two for 45k. Intitial we agreed on 35k including the packing of the sand. But we later discovered
the ground was too hard and as a result in requires more labour. That was when I paid an extra 10k. If not they
would have left the job unfinished.
Then 1 bricklayer used 3days to finish the two soakaway pit(the block work) = 12k(workmaship)
Then for the 10 by 10 septic tank around 189 blocks was used of 9" which cost around 135 then(lets say 27,000)
Then for the 6 by 6 by 6(soak away pit), around 80 blocks were used and each cost me like 125( 10,000)
Now my soak away has got 4 pillars(the 10 by 10 own). so around 12 lengths of iron of 12mm was used @ 1250(now 1380 sha but
because of the rain, the price will fall back) = (15,000 and transport 2k5 = 17k5)
Then the plastering of the septic tank took one day (estimate should be around 5 to 6k)
Reason: I gave them as a contract that was why they did it for one day. If I was to be paying them it would have cost me 2days which is 8k in lagos. 2k5 for bricklayer and 1k5 for labour.
Then the casting of the of the cover of the 2 soakaway and my pillars is a day job for 2ppl. around 4k(one bricklayer and one labour).
Again like around 10 to 12 bags of cement was used for that job. then I bought cement @ 1730. But let me calculate using the price of cement now which is 1850 transport will take like 50 naira or 30 naira per bag depending on distance or how best you can negotiate = 22800
Then the capenter work like 3k for the two job(though I paid more o)
then plank to guide the soakaway and carry the casting estimate = 8k5 for 10 piece of summy wood @ 850 per one. You can get it cheaper o! then bamboo to carry the casting =  like 8 piece @ 170 per one Lagos price = 1360 transport 2k5 or 2k or 3k Lagos price! Depending the distance.

So total for my soakaway pit alone = #151,160
NOTE: Lots of factors where involved in mine. The size of the soak-away pit for my house is much very big than required. and because I put pillars and cross beam to make it more stronger. And again I used 9" blocks for the septic thank which is more stronger and balance!!! And the people that digged the soak-away were also packing it to fill the foundation of my house. That was why the amount was so. If it was very much smaller, it would have cost me less.

Nice one am alone.By the way,what is the size of your security house?

oyb:
the hospital must be being run like. . .

how does one perform an operation without nurse, anesthesiologists, etc?

and no one was following through, dressing the wound, etc?

story is bizarre

they should sack the top mgt of the hospital. it is clear some sort of scam is going on

Can you imagine.

Mickom:
@davedavy, Bro I want to advise me on this issue b4 my friend do wrong thing.Their is a guy that claim he can do one year resident permint of Poland with a job attech to it.And also said the visa is gaurantee is because he have help one person to do it b4 and we have done many countries as well and he can show me visa of all the other countries he have done b4.But I'm still doubting all this that he going to get job including the one year resident permint.pls Broder give me advise b4 my friend take any step and I met this guy here is name is visa lord, But the post of the poster is not on Nairaland anymore,
Pls all the house give me advise what my friend to do it or take back,

Tell your friend not to waste his money.Most of these  travel agents are dubious,moreover,it's not easy getting a job anywhere in Europe now due to the recession.I believe the dude in question is just trying to scam your friend.For any Polish company to employ a foreigner and file for work permit on this regard,the company must provide evidence that,there are no Polish nationals/EU nationals willing to occupy such work position and recruitment to such position among Polish nationals/EU nationals is impossible.So as you can see,it isnt that easy.Moreover,jobs are very scarce in Poland at the moment.

How much is an average size inverter that can power a 32'' Plasma TV, 3 standing fans and 4 40 watts bulbs.

Determine the maximum amount of watt the inverter will power at a time ‘peak load’,in you case,lets assume you will run all those appliances at the same time. To determine the peak load, you have to sum up the maximum rating of all the appliances,you can easily find the information on them.
Lets assume that:
32'' Plasma TV: is rated 120W (my LG 32’ TV is actually rated 120W)

standing fans : lets say 70W (70 x 3) =210W
Bulbs = 40w (40 x 4) = 160W
Peak Load = 490W
according to the state of Vermont's "Better Building Series. inverters should be sized to 25 percent more than your expected peak load,hence you need 125/100 x 490 = 612.5W  round the figure up and go for something slightly higher  say  700W.

Inverters alone cannot power your appliances, Inverters only convert direct current (DC) electrical power into alternating current (AC) electrical power. DC comes from batteries, just like the one that is used to start a car. AC power is the same type of electricity that comes from the home's common wall outlet. Hence you need a battery bank where the inverter will draw DC current from.

@ Davedavy and demmydems
innitially i had interest in running my program (msc) in USA but my sponsor is not responding as expected and 2 schools gave me admision. pls do u know any reliable agents in NAIJA that can process my student Visa to poland? i have some cool cash on my own. like N1m

Unfortunately i do not know any agent.I believe you can process the admission yourself,you really do not need an agent to do that for you.Check out websites of different Polish Universities here; http://www.findaschool.org/index.php?Country=Poland

and contact them,they will tell you the admission procedure.

All the best.

I applied for a German visa for One month Volunteer Work some weeks ago and I was denied based on the fact that information about the Justification for the purpose was not reliable even though i submitted invitation letter from inviting organization. I appealed sending a detailed Info sheet about the Volunteer work there. How long will it take to process? My Volunteer Camp starts in July. Can I reapply while appeal is on?

Additional Details
I have previously been to a Schengen country before.

You don't need to reapply,just wait for the outcome of your appeal.Unfortunately the appeal can take up to two months.

Does anybody know any secured shipping company in Poland that can ship used cars to Lagos, Nigeria with low rates? I intend to ship a BMW E36-1994 model and Honda accord-1996 model, what's the procedure and how do i go about it?

Have you shipped the cars?if yes can you kindly furnish me with info on the company you used and the price?i have two cars i will like to ship to Lagos from Poland as well.

cyphanet:
Pls. i need your opinion on this my nairalanders. I have Portugal Schengen visa but am not really interested in going to Portugal. Can i use this visa to travel to any other Schengen country without touching Portugal the issuance country?

The Schengen visa once issued is good to visit all the participating countries, you are supposed to get the visa from the country in which you'll be spending the majority of your time or the point of your first entry into the Schengen zone, so applying in a country you will not spend any time in could end up as a very bad idea.
It will definitely be a bad idea not to visit Portugal at all, whether you stay there or whether you just land and fly mmediately to another Shengen country or to the country where you will spend most of your time in the Schengen area during your trip does not matter, but if you mention Portugal on your form as your first point of entry into the shengen zone, having an entry stamp of Portugal to play safe is definitely a good idea.

They can also ask you for an initiery,hotel bookings etc at the point of entry,note that having a valid shengen visa is no gurantee that you will be allowed into the shengen zone,if they find you suspicious they will question you,my advice is, play safe and fly to Portugal first.

Dereformer:
I want to start developing my one plot of land by November this year.

I am a novice in building matters and as such will require assistance in the form of providing answers to the following questions:

1) Can a plot of land contain 4 bedroom bungalow?

2) what is the average number of blocks required for a 4 bedroom bungalow?

3) What is the standard measure for a plot of land?

I need these answers to assist me in my preplanning.

I will appreciate good responses.

Yes a plot of land will contain 4 bedroom bungalow perfectly.Standard plot of land should be 60 ft x 120 ft (18.288 m X 36.576 m).You will need about 4,000 blocks.

You can calculate the approximate number of blocks you will need to complete your project from the plan your architect gave you.
Formular
B = P/460 X R
Where B = quantity of blocks
P= perimeter of walls in mm
R = number of rows which is usually 12 rows(Taking for a general or average purpose, the blocks from foundation to dpc(german or oversite concrete) is 4 coaches/levels. From dpc to the base of window another 4 coaches,from window to linte level 5 coaches, after lintel to roofing 2 coaches)
The lenght of a block is 0.45m or 450mm or 18″
The width of thickness varies -150mm or 6″ and 225mm or 9″ which are most common.

spyder880:
They have started work on the mixing and pouring of the decking. They did only the stairs and around 12 ft square in front of the step landing on top, we shall wait till Monday next week to continue. (I was not around at the site today, so no pictures yet.) The cement used is 21 bags worth N45k + transport, loading, water, labour for workers and bricklayers totals to N21,500. Earlier in the day, I spent more than N10k on materials like more conduit pipes, more wood etc. This will total to N76,500.00.
The cummulative total for now is N1,745,500.00.

Waiting patiently for the pics

@ spyder,am alone

Wonderful job you guys are doing?i have learnt a lot frm this thread and still learning

i am trying to calculate the amount of cement I will need to set 4000 blocks, from your experience how many bags /50kg of cement do you think I will need?
I am thinking 40 bags should be enough, but I need your advice.
I am getting myself prepared for my project when I travel to Naija later this year.
Thanks.

please house can somebody provide me details of what specific documents to show ties to my country.
i applied for a visitors visa to canada on a training program and i was told i have been refused based on insufficient ties to my country of residence/citizenship.
what then do i need to show ties to both countries of residence and citizenship.
i am a masters degree student north cyprus.thanks folks.

First off,which country are you from?

coss75:
@spyder880 , i was told by my builder that building a house with pen-house is outdated, meaning no-one is building house with pen house anymore, i have not been to nigeria for 11yrs now. should i change the plan to exclude penhouse or go with my choice.

it's not outdated,lots of pple are still building it.someone on this thread is building one.tell your architect to give you a modern design,probably the design you have is a little bit outdated hence the reason your builder is saying that.

@davedavy
just curious though,where are you,poland?

would really appreciate response from somebody who has first hand experience of this country as righ now am considering finland and poland.
would appreciate some more info on finland.
cheers bro

My business is headquartered in Poland,but i have branches in other countries within Europe,so i be ajala the traveler .

justhustle:
thanks for your analysis of these countries.
do you have an idea of life in finland for foreign students?most of the post i have read on finland dont seem to be too encouraging even if the word around is that scandinavia europe is tha place to be.

It is not easy anywhere in the world,Europe just came out of recession with some countries still deep in recession,but your goals should be of paramount importance here and not what people say.Finland is okay,you pay no tuition fees,quality of Education is very good,you are legally allowed to work part time during school term and full time on holidays(if you are lucky to get a job).so what do you have to lose? except you have a well paid job in Nigeria.

lanlo:
Money from their relatives in Naija or from personal savings.If your plan is to offset living cost by doing part time job,sorry to disappoint you,it is impossible,there is nothing in that country.Go there only if you have enough money to take you through your program (tuition fees plus cost of living)

davedavy, are you there now or av you been there before ? or you are talking according to what you hear about ukraine, Pls,talk in a more elaborate way.
Thanks for your contribution.

Guys, abeg more info on ukraine.

i've traveled extensively through out Europe including all the ex soviet bloks.Ukraine and Russia are almost the same except that Russia is richer than Ukraine,wages in Ukraine is still very poor and finding any kind of part time employment is very hard.The locals (especially d guys) do not like foreigners at all,they will readily get into fight with you,especially when they see you with their girls,going out alone is very risky as you can be easily attacked.Lots of their youths are jobless so what they do all day is drink cheap vodka or piwa and look for troubles.
You are not protected by the police,a policeman called me a nigga,i was called monkey on countless occasions.I can still remember one occasion where a police man ordered me and my friends out of a club for no reason,dude just came in,saw us with some cute chicks,and called us,he demanded for our identification (passport,registration) we showed him and he said 'idi damoi' meaning go home in Russian,i asked him'pashimu? meaning why? my friend just asked me to stop arguing with him and we took the next cab home.

Ukraine is full of corruption and administrative road blocks,Police will want you to bribe them because you are black,every time they see you asking for your documents,if you provide the correct documents,they will start asking you silly questions just to get on your nerve.The country is very unfriendly to foreigners of  different skin color.And yes,there are some good people in Ukraine/Russia,i met great guys,my Ukrainian friends were always helpful, but lot of young people in Ukraine have nothing better to do than to fight for fun,and foreigners are their targets.

I can't tell you not to go there,it is your choice actually,it depends on what you are going to do and your expectations.If you just want to study, you have the means and after your studies go back to Nigeria,then no problem.But if you are looking for somewhere you can possibly get a permanent residency/Passport and call a second home someday,Ukraine is not that place .I advised some guys sometimes ago about Ukraine,well,they decided to go because their agents in Nigeria told them otherwise,the agent told them it is easy to get a visa to UK/USA and shengen from Ukraine,after some months in Ukraine,these guys had to borrow money to return to Nigeria.Ukrainian citizens  require visa to travel to almost all the countries in the world,if you eventually become an Ukrainian citizens,you will still need visas to travel to almost everywhere in the world.You are better off going to smaller EU/shengen countries.By the time you add all the money you will spend to get to Ukraine,and all the money you will spend in Ukraine for the duration of your course,you will find out that it is economical to have chosen a wiser and better option.

The island of Malta is just stone through from Libya and Italy. I want to know if there are job opportunities in Malta for a Nigerian or African migrant?

Malta uses the euros and they are a small european island nation at the heart of the mediterranean sea. They are an english speaking nation.

When it comes to migration to europe, it is always italy, spain, france and germany that gets all the attention.

I want to know if the maltese are unwelcoming?



Let me have your constructive views. thanks[b][/b]

Malta is a beautiful country but a very small island with a population of about 410,567.Malta is not a good choice for immigration purposes because The Maltese labour market is strictly controlled,even all  EU citizens wishing to work in Malta  are required to apply for a work permit before they can seek employment. This exception to EU law was agreed on in order to save the labor market,Malta cannot cope with massive influx of immigrants the way other bigger EU countries can cope hence they have a way of  discouraging immigrants.For instance,international tuition fees are very expensive;medicine cost about 24,000 Euro/academic year at University of Malta for international students.Also getting a permanent Resident permit and citizenship is not that easy.
