If you're selecting food because of your dietary requirements, that's understandable. Always safety first. Not all western food are raw, and you can always avoid foods that you are allergic. Anyways, it's more economical to cook your own food

Someone God would bless honoured me last night with some Nigerian delicacies. I'm not sure I can finish all between now and Sunday. Fortunately, she didn't collect a kobo. I have to find a way to pay her back

What has this got to do with food and what the poster was asking? $2,000 weekly after tax amounts to about $140,000 per annum. Whether sponsored, citizen or whatever, how many people in Australia make this sort of money comfortably without breaking their backs and working like slaves with no breaks, and which industries precisely?

Always trying so hard to show off much? You better not make someone back home commit suicide based on stories.

I think he's making and inference/Scenario, not a factual position

Try to stick with the food your system is used to. Reasons are you will save your self health and money.
Western food should be eaten as a treat. There are heaps of Asian cum African shops in Sydney and Newie.
All you need is a large deep freezer, microwave (gas/electric stove) and few food containers.
Cook your food in a large pot, plate your meal portion into those containers and store them in the freezer. Then use when necessary.
You really don't need those tips if your are sponsored or earn above $2k weekly after tax.
I assure you you do need them if you are paying your tuition fees and may be looking after family back home.

God bless you.

Back in Nigeria, I don't eat what you call crab(Akan in Yoruba) and Cray fish/prawn(Ede in yoruba)

They have to do with my health and nothing more.

I don't even drink alcohol or can stand near smokers.

Hence, I focus on what my system can take.

The funniest part is $158 will not get you to the top of the bridge, it only takes you halfway. To get to the top of the Harbour Bridge, the prices are: $293 for daytime on weekdays, $358 at twilight and $378 at dawn. Hmmm, it's not a small something

Yeah it's very romantic but overpriced and it takes hours. If I took a woman up there, I'd do the same as you; issa yes or I'm not coming down. Lol

I just walked past the bridge now via Lower fort Street enroute to Pier One Harbour on Hickson road and experienced the cold, I give up

I'm out.

Would visit the opera and museum.

Omooloriredade:
Nigerian foods that you eat regularly? Biko try something new. Explore the array of foods on offer, it'll add to the 'experience '.

Thanks. Had enough experience already.

A kind hearted Nigerian that prepared me meals that would last till next week

JewelStone:
I'd love to meet up but the last time I met someone from here, he turned out to be an ungrateful teenager who still hasn't thanked me for the dinner I bought for him!

Plus the bridge climb starts at AUD 158 and it's a very romantic activity, not sure I can do that with another man

Lol. Where should I start?

I have a pretty wife at home oo. So it gives you an idea

JewelStone:
I'm in Sydney ooo


So where did you run to?


Yeah you can

I want to climb the Sydney harbour on Thursday
Care to join me?

Tell your husband I wanna borrow his wife for few hours no evil intent

Mozoe:
lemme just teleport to your location and u will see that food is d least of my problems

Oya come na. I'll share my visa with you

JewelStone:
Sorry can't help with Naija restaurant, I'm not sure there's one in Sydney. Why travel to a foreign city tho and insist on eating Naija food? This is an opportunity to explore other cuisines and have mad fun. I don't have this sort of problem sha, I eat all kinds of food.

Are you in Sydney or Brisbane?

JewelStone:
There are over 5000 restaurants in Sydney, you shouldn't be looking for good food. Define good food...and your budget/location then I can give suggestions.

This is a very big city and it's spread out. It's difficult to meet Nigerians unless you make plans to meetup with someone. There's no Nigerian community.

Btw why are you bored? Thought you came for business/conference

Conference has been very very fruitful and interesting. From morning till late evening. Issue is, any other mill apart from Nigerian delicacies doesn't flow in my system.

I'm staying in a self serviced apartment with cooker, pots, etc practically everything, but to cook na wahala.

I'm staying not far from Kent street, NSW 2000. I had to go to wynyard station to get food .

Not budget cos I don't really care, but I need Nigerian meals.

That's all.

Solitin40:
Please what is this?

There's rice there and the others, I have no idea.

I couldn't eat the rice cos it lacks salt.

I still have 6 more days in Sydney

You guys I need to eat good food ooo.

I'm bored already.

Where are you Nigerians in Sydney?

Don't abandon your person na

JewelStone:
Congrats on your visa. I was hoping to see the huge assets tho, you got me there

Enjoy your stay in Sydney...

Lol. I was warned back home to steer clear off temptations.
SA ladies like Nigerian men and it was evident yesterday.

As they saw this Big handsome Man (BHM) they fell immediately.

I had to run, if not hmmm


We landed in Perth at 12:30pm local time.

Got cleared by immigration and thereafter customs. Very very very seamless. No single question.

I took groundnuts and Garri, which I told them and they did not check.

Waiting to transit to Sydney

EMMAACHILE:
I can't find any assets here

Emma

Mozoe:
Let's see pictures o

In SA now transiting.

SA got some ladies with huge 'assets'

Mozoe:
Let's see pictures o

Sure I will. I'll make it as much fun for you guys

EMMAACHILE:
Lol. I thought attending conferences should be a visiting visa.
What's the duration of the business visa?

14 days on the visa, but I'm only out for 8 days. Would be back at work Next Monday 11th September, 2017

EMMAACHILE:
Business or Visiting Visa?

Business. You no dey see? If I throw you punch, you arrive Lagos kiakia

Esepayan:
That will be good bro just remember to get down at wynard station kent street is just a 2 minutes walk from there

I don't know how to eat leafs and sushi.

Good our locals are available

Esepayan:
Spring just started today its still cold but not that cold u should dress warm

Thanks my bro. Means I can still get a train. Thanks so much.

We go hook up, cos I have 2 days to spare before arriving back home

santity100:
I have read your refusal and i feel for you and I also understand how you feel.

That is their way when they dont want to issue their visa even when you meet all the requirements.

Australia embassy hardly issue grants to tourist or conference participants from Nigeria and the major reason is because 90 percent do not leave Australia. But in the past they do issue to applicants with your travel experiences.

They have chart they keep records of visa issued and applicants that failed to complied with their visas, my brother Nigerians statistic is extremely bad.

I will advise you not to reapply as it will show desperation and there is little chance that they will grant.

Thank God for their high tuition and assessment level that is helping our students get study grants.

I did reapplied on 31/7/2017 and response came 31/8/2017.

I realized that the initial application was denied purposely, cos the only thing I did differently now was to provide photographs of previous conference and a letter was sent by the conference organizers that I was at the previous conference.

The same guy that denied me, was the same that granted me.

Never give up, but just make sure when you come to equity, come with clean hands

JewelStone

Esepayan:
Congrats prepare for better heat cos na 40 summer be here

Really? Was thinking of cold and had to take thick shirts.

BTW, what time does the train service stop?

Flight should arrive Sydney 10:30pm local time and I'm going to Kent street Sydney 2000

debby516:
Finally, congrats. I saw u were initially denied, what changed in ur 2nd application, Pls?

Yes. I was to do a proper report to the thread on how I went about it, but time prevented me. I've hard to be packing my things to get ready for travel.

It came impromptu, cos I was preparing for salah, only to get visa. No salah meat for me

Hello house.

Just got my business visa.

Details later

Nigerians should apply for visa to enter the guy's country, it would take 50 days

Edo state Governor Obaski yesterday launched rebranded EDSTMA.Below are some of the things he said while launching it..

"This re-branded EDSTMA is made up of trained men and women who are more civil, operate within the ambit of the law and citizens are to relate with them as such'.

He also assured that Edo people will not be exploited by officials of the traffic control agency as “there is a Public Complaints Unit that will attend to all the complaints from road users.”

Bloggers will never grow

what is the meaning of EDSTMA?

At least tell us us what the acronym stands for

do serious people go to club in the first place?

I have never been to a club before and I'm old man

see her dressing, like olosho and she wants us to do what?

Go to Travel section of Nairaland and see how students are jostling for visas to further their education. See this one here forming a cele, having obtained money from top politicians or Pastor.

How much does she get paid for a lead role in movie? 1 mill, 2 mill? Yet she spends to lavishly

Pathetic

yeye ojaja why?

Na wa oo.

Conference starts in Sydney on 4th September, today 29th, Visa not yet out.

Why DIBP?

Why?

Is it because there is no Embassy in Nigeria?

sukkot:
all 5 igbo states are included

I have said this before and would say it again.

It is only in the southwest Nigeria that we have visionary leaders by generation.

If we considered the likes of Bishop Ajayi crowder, we would move down to chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Awolowo set a template for the western region, which is what is still sustaining the region till date.

He established that free Education and Olusegun obasanjo took it upon himself to establish Universal Basic Education back then.
Lagos
See Alhaji Jakande, till tomorrow, you'll hear Jakande Estate in different parts of Lagos.
Tinubu had LG funds seized, instead of owing workers, he developed the tax road map and increased IGR of Lagos to 7 billion a month.
He brought Fashola. We thought Fashola was a stooge, but he performed miracles.
Ambode came and we thought, Fashola has done it all, but Lagos is becoming a super mega city. current IGR is about 250 Billion naira annually, yet Ambode pays salaries to the tune of N7billion monthly, without owing.


Ogun State. Aremo Osoba started in the 90s. He came back in 1999.
Gbenga daniel took over and transformed ogunstate.
Amosu is now doing wonders at agbara with lots of industries.

Oyo State nko? From Baba Bola Ige, to Lam Adeshina, to Ladoja and now Ajimobi.

All working with the template of Pa awolowo and Tinubu.


Ask yourself you igbos blindly following that power hungry Nnamdi Kanu, what is his development plan for the south east?
Will he develop one after achieving biafra? Why can't he show you Igbos the road map he has to bring industrial revolutions to the East?
The guy is just a crook and wants to turn to a demi god, if he's not one already.

Ask all your governors from Orji Kalu, Ta Orji, Nnamani, Chime, IBori, odili, etc to show up what they did in Niger delta and South East?

Absolutely nothing.

You 'moronically' think it is buhari that caused your problems right?

Your problems are beyond redemption and Kanu will lead igbos to starvation.

Take a look at his message. hate hate and hate. To call Nigeria zoo, to insult leaders and threaten them. Why can't he show a single chart on how igbo land would be industrialized?

Ogun Has a plan, Lagos does, Oyo too
Ondo is suffering cos of PDP bad leaders.
See what Fayemi did in Ekiti, before that rascal Fayose took over.

In conclusion, why would SW state attract investment? They would cause they have visionary leaders and road map towards development. This is what investors want to see. They would not go to Niger Delta, where the youths take up arms and go into criminality. They would not go to Igbo land, where one idiot whats to break the country and allow people live as slaves under him

Nnamdi Kanu, Show us your plan for igbo land.

Peace and out
