Onlyonebuhari:
Let me tell u the simple truth, I export Yam and kola nut. The money I get from it I can't get it from Canada or the US. Let me tell u the real truth....I apply for credentialing in Canada and they have been disturbing since Monday that am qualified, they will issue work permit and Visa but I don't need it.

Bro please can I connect with you, not for any other thing but to also be within a network of Techies like you. I'm presently on JavaScript, please bro, I know you could. Thanks

For the authentication of documents in Abuja, how can someone in Lagos do it without travelling to Abuja? And from those that have authenticated their documents at MoE and MoFA, how much did it cost?
Thanks

I sent you an email, please respond. Thanks

Hi guys,

I joined Nairaland because of this group.
I recently got admission to Poland for Masters in GIS and Earth Observation. I have gathered somethings so far from the threads as well as some questions for clarity.

-I know I will need to legalize my O'level Certificate, B.Ttech Cert. & Transcript at the MOE, are these documents the ones that will be legalized at the MFA also or are there added documents required?
-As per the medical insurance needed, I have two options, Swisscare and AIICO, which will be more advisable?
-My program is supposed to last two years, will my medical insurance have to cover the two years or can I start off with a one-year subscription and later renew?
-I know I will have to make a flight reservation which is required for the visa interview;
......................................................................................................................................- will the reservation be for a round trip or just one-way?
..................................................................................- can anyone recommend any travel agency that can offer up to at least 2/3 weeks reservation at a low cost?
-I know also, that, as a visa requirement, one has to show proof of subsistence. Can I use a sponsor's account accompanied by a letter of sponsorship or do I compulsorily have to present a credit account in my name?

I have read through the threads and most answers seem wuruwuru, some are straight to the point while others are confusing...
Please, I'm begging, I need this to be answered in details(please don't refer me to a page) and if anyone has further information or clarity to add, I will most appreciate it. God bless us all.

Please keep staying safe.
Thank you.

obamartins:
I am so sorry. Sorting the numbers of persons that applied is not easy. But I stopped replying to applications that came in after the deadline.

I still have faith that you would, in your goodness, look my way and guide me in this business one day. I won't be a liability or a distraction.

obamartins:
I won't be chanced. No vex

OK sir, I understand and I'm not annoyed. But would you please just give me a small one-time-never-again push in the right direction. I have an idea of how busy you would be, but please sir. Just a word or two from you, thanks.

Where can I get these stuff and how do i connect them?

ebenezary:

As am writing this post there is no electricity and l don't care
despite my laptop battery last for less than an hour
I stay at MOWE, OGUN STATE where NEPA gives us electricity
when they want to share the bill and collect money

Good day sir, please I've been trying to reach you, sent you a few emails sometime ago. I would like to have a discussion with you on the KDP business. I am new to the whole thing and wouldn't mind paying to learn from you or be in one of your groups. I have read some of your posts and I could see we belong to the same spiritual family and I feel that might count positively in my favour to get a response . My WhatsApp contact is Zero-Eight-Zero-392151-Two-Six.

Thanks so much and God bless.

obamartins:

Lolo24:
It's a white guy and it's expensive. Obamartins is good too. I would've done his but then, I traveled and internet speed was poor. Talk to obamartins or call him.

Please can you link me up with Obamartins? I'm ready to pay for his mentorship. Thanks

emperorsversion:
you can contact me at emperorsversion@gmail.com

I've sent you an email. Thanks

emperorsversion:
you can contact me at emperorsversion@gmail.com

Ok thanks

Grupo:
Wow. Man, you are really killing it. 25k USD in one month is enough money. Jeez.

I have only made around $192 this month on Kindle. I did that with just two books. It has been my best month so far on Amazon. Haha. I'm happy. Considering it is passive income and I haven't done a new book since June.

Seems I should elevate this publishing thing as my primary business and take it seriously.

Please how can I reach you?

emperorsversion:
honestly I find that hard to beleive, I just started last 2 weeks.... on my third book now and sales are coming in... how many books have you got so far?

Please I would like to talk with you on this business. I have sent you an email, please respond. Thanks

Hello bro Waju,

Let's just say I'm one your aburos you've never before heard from. I get your emails and most times it's as if you are talking to me personally. I salute you, sire. The "Fragrance to Fire" email of some days ago was all I needed at that very point.

I can type all the economic reasons I've been unable to plug in to opportunities you share, but I know they are crap and you don't buy those stuff. I'm in a mess financially and I would like to learn and put in effort towards something worthwhile under your guidance. I'm tired of begging people for jobs on Nairaland. I want to start failing at something. Something I can grow with.

I am to willing work for opportunity that may come up. I won't disappointed you.

Thanks and God bless.

wjxavier:
Glad the bail has been raised.

Thank you all. Whoever supported this effort.

My present situation is very similar to yours though still believing for a breakthrough. I'm looking for scholarships now, please bro, if you could guide me in this regard I would appreciate. My first degree cgpa would qualify for many scholarships, just looking for opportunities. Thanks

Yaasir:
Search for your niche. The odd is truly stacked against you but you have to be very clear with what you want. It might not be a smooth ride but it is very possible. In my case, I knew my best bet was education but then cost. So, I must go to a Federal Institution. Almighty JAMB almost truncated that ambition before I "borrow sense". I went to polytechnic first before coming back to Unilag. I told myself from day one that I had no parent to look for a job for me. Therefore, I must finish among the very best in my class; with distinct abilities. I actually achieved that and got my job offer (banks; got many) before leaving Unilag. Then come the new face of the struggle; surviving the corporate world. I worked with 4 banks withing 7years and another FMCG. I rarely lack a job but the satisfaction was not there. Then, I had to rely on my talent again for a new beginning. I decided to travel out of the country, but how? Canada? My best choice but quite expensive. Then, I realized I could look for scholarships for my education as the shortest route to whatever location. I started the journey on September 2, 2017, when I sent over 25 emails to lecturers in Australia. It was a very demotivating and difficult process (rejection rate) before God finally gave me that lone voice from the least expected of source. I read Accounting but the person interested in me was an Environmental Scientist (UNISA)! That was when the process started having meaning. To cut the long story short, I did not win the scholarship to UNISA butttttttttttt I won 3 other scholarships - Holland, Austria/Hungary, and Qatar. I eventually settled for Austria/Hungary. On September 2, 2019 (exactly 2 years after) I stepped into my dream in style. While I can't claim to be rich as of today, I am enjoying the very best life has to offer- traveling to countries I never thought of, fantastic accommodation and access to training opportunities.
In essence, concentrate on your talent and never listened to Naysayers. You will meet many of them along your path to success.

Thanks so much, bro. I have read a couple of your very helpful comments on this thread.

I would like to ask you about the availability of jobs in Nigeria for one skilled in, lets say, Javascript? Sometimes I see people pleading to build websites for people on here and it isn't very cool, yet I know some other guys are really earning a decent sum through programming.

I would like to be among the second group lol. So that's why I asked about being around a community/network. Thanks.

franchasng:
Go here https:// eloquentjavascript . net/00_intro.html and start from the beginning to the end. Don't skip any part.


You can practice there while reading. Be dedicated to it. If you dedicate your time and effort on that site for 6 months, you will see a great change in your javascript programming skill.


I wish you all the best that life can offer.

Please I'm presently learning JavaScript, could you please help me in being in an environment/network that would enable my growth?

franchasng:
I won't call my family a poor family and neither will I call it a rich family, we were just there, my father tried his best in providing for us and seeing us through school and my mom, diamond mother, the best mother on earth did more than what I can explain in words to ensure I and my siblings succeeded in life. I can hardly remember my mother eating breakfast while growing up. I even thought it is normal for a mother not to eat breakfast but didn't know she was only trying to preserve the meals for it to reach us

She prayed, worked hard, starved, did all manner of businesses to support the family's income, and she never joked with men of God. Anything men of God, be it our own church or any church, she just loved sowing in the life of men of God and this I strongly believe paved way for me and my siblings.


We did farming, we did hawking, I and my siblings with the leadership of my mother did virtually everything human can do to survive. I just can't list them here.

Also I was homeless at a point in Lagos. I did a very undignified job after NYSC just to pull through.

But today, my family is like the pillar of our LGA you cannot ignore in any decision making

Now back to the story.

Personally, I suffered a lot. Due to the fact that my dad was a federal civil servant and with the nature of his role, we moved from one state to another, even to remote villages, making me change school and friends like wrapper, and this also affected me emotionally and in many other ways.

Because of my number in the family, I was still in secondary school when my father retired so things turned so soar that I did so many things to survive. I helped my mother in all manner of businesses she did, of course she didn't have a defined business, she just ventured into any trending moving business at the time so this affected me academically, but thank God for his natural gift of intelligence which made it easy for me to grasp anything I read or glance my eyes on.


My elderly siblings were fortunate and made it big which helped relief the burden on my parents for a while before my elder bro married a bad woman who then succeeded in turning him away from the family and he stopped helping us and my parents were retired at this time.


With time some other siblings picked up and we forgot him.

After school and NYSC, I found it difficult to secure a good paying job which also inspired my in born desire to own a business of my own. So when I finally secured a job, I didn't rely on the job, I started a business by the side, an online business.

My advice to young Nigerian youths reading, please don't neglect the opportunities internet offers. I can boldly say that internet made me who I am today. Internet liberated me. God bless my elder brother that introduced internet and computer appreciation to me at early age.


I am forever indebted to him till I die.

I built my own very successful company through the internet. My company has taken me places that my degree and academic prowess could not take me. And this company I built and developed it from the internet and today it is growing steadily and employing people which makes me so proud in life that I can now employ people and pay them, God I bless you everyday!




To all the ladies reading, stop underrating your younger brother in-laws, stop maltreating them, most of them will end up richer than that your husband you feel is Aliko Dangote today. Help your in-laws, stop being a bad and wicked woman. Being good does not cost much. Stop looking down on any guy now, future is very Pregnant oh!!

My last advice again to youths, please take internet seriously. Stop scam, stop internet scam, it pays for the mean time but it can never give you a sustainable income and success.


Find a major societal problem today and find a way to use the internet solve that problem and be committed to it, don't give up, continue doing it and you will testify with time.

Internet is a major key to success of youths from poor family background all over the world. Government cannot change your life, internet will if you use it judiciously.

Learn to programme, learn to code, learn web designing while in school and be dedicated to it.


Learn JavaScript that programming language is amazing.


I am not rich yet but I am seeing light and I give all the glory to God.

Above all help others. Help others! Help people around you. Help your friends they are very vital oh, help them!! Keep good and quality friends very important to your growth more than your relatives!

Be honest in your dealings and build integrity so people can trust you with their money and business.

I wish you all the best.

Please do you know schools that still have their applications open for Fall2020? I wanted to apply to ETSU before but learnt their application is closed. Thanks

Muleriders:
Very Apt

OK bro. Thanks so much.

4dor:
I feel your pain, we've all been there. I don't think a bet9ja shop is an ideal environment.

What I used to do years ago, is to work when nepa brings light. Try to study the pattern of how the give you electricity and work during that time. You can also try to get an extra library. Put it an effort to learn HTML and CSS and we'll talk once you master it. Good luck.

mtinfx:
It's small
That's IT

In the finance industry
I work as a prop futures trader for a foreign trading firm
I wont accept that currently

please I need a job, thanks.

Bro, I would still like to connect with you. Sent you a number of emails since last year.

philip0906:
Valid! But she clearly stated she's in tech. So it's very possible that these things happened.

The only problem with remote tech jobs, is that there's no job security...except you're working for the established brands.

Bro please I would like you to guide me. I just began reading an ebook on HTML5 and JavaScript. I've got a laptop but erratic power supply have been an hindrance. I've tried using those Bet9ja shops in my area but that place isn't conducive for learning.

I'm very interested in learning programming and would like to please be under your guide. I'm a complete JJC in the field and I would like to network with people that have been in the game for a long time. Would be glad to hear from you and leran from the contributions of other great techies here. Thanks

4dor:
If there's one thing I've learnt from this thread it's that the poverty in Naija is real. Poverty also starts as a mindset.

Mid Level Software Developers earn around 250-400k in Nigeria. Seniors earn 500k upwards, in fact sometime last year there was a vacancy in Lekki and the Salary was between 800k - 1m.

If you work remotely for a foreign company as a senior and you're good, you can even hit 1.5m monthly.

Before you try to argue, I've been in this industry for the past seven years.

If you want to be like this get a laptop and start learning how to code.

Please would you say it is too late to apply to ETSU now for fall 2020?

Predstan:
ETSU doesnt give GA until you resume for studies. You will a GA position only when you are on ground.

could you please shed more light on the South Korea student visa route? Thanks

Spanishmilf:
That the best way to migrate legally

fairfora:
Don't make a mistake of investing your hard earned money on foreign education. I could see you're a young and talented guy. Let me share with you a brief story of my life. I'm a polytechnic graduate , not because poly was the only option. My course of study was better studied in the polytechnic because only 2 universities in Nigeria were offering my chosen course as of 1996 and they were far away from the south west. my parents didnt want me to be too far away.

That said, i graduated and got employed after my nysc, first in a renown pharmaceutical company and later in a telecom firm after which I established my business as I was tired of working for people. I started with only 600k which I saved from my earnings. Today, my business is worth over 4m USD. We are prominent in the health sector, up to the neighbouring countries of Togo and Benin republic. .

You are such a lucky guy with such impressive funds in your account. I'd advise you plough back the money in your business. No matter how sure your travel agent is, he is not the visa officer whom would approve your visa. Once you get refused, the best he can do is encourage you to try again, citing all manners of sweet stories...except your agent guarantees 100% refund of your money in case you're not successful with your visa applications and none of them can ever do this, so don't dare.

There are viable areas in which you could invest in Edo. I served in ekiadolor in those days as a youth corper, 2001 to be precise. Your land is very good for growing rice, which is hot cake in Nigeria today. You could also invest in vegetable farming. Get the necessary orientation and you'd be glad you did. i have a friend who plants only ugwu in benue. He transports it in trucks to lagos and he is a big boy now. Any legitimate business that could fetch one up to 20m naira in capital is a promising one so, I'd advise you continue in that line, alternatively.

After my poly education, I invested on myself by obtaining trainings abroad on my own. My first country of visit was USA. I sponsored my training programme then. prior to that time, i had not been to any country. Those trainings were relevant to my career. I refused to go for master's degree even though i had the money. I've garnered over 10 training certificates from renown firms globally, including new horizons computer learning centers in USA before one guy brought the franchise to Nigeria. You too can stand tall. Degrees don't translate into money my brother.
The one i had over there was later obtained to boost my resume, not to seek employment. Even in the US, job is scarce for graduates. Ideas now rule the world and not degree certificates. This is an opportunity of a lifetime, utilize it. Courtesy of my business, ive been to virtuality all the western countries. I had the opportunity of meeting with USA president a few years ago. I was the only one invited in the whole of black africa, 2 of us from Africa. A guy was also invited from south Africa. No single Nigerian was cited in that gathering of over 1000 people invited from over 100 countries globally except me...no senator, no governor, no minister from nigeria. The event took place at the daughters of American revolution hall in Washington Dc. At your convenience, you may further your studies on a part time basis just to boost your resume in case you might wish to contest for governorship tomorrow in your state and not for the sake of seeking employment.

I have a friend called Ngozi who went to the UK to study law. When she finished she stayed back, no jobs and she decided to venture into what she had a flair for....fashion. she opened a website and posted different designs on it while in the UK. Customers in the diaspora who are always too busy to see a tailor would place their orders and they must pay 100% in advance. Now, ngozi makes up to 2000 punds monthly in profit, from the comfort of her apartment in the UK. Her story has inspirired many. She would send clothes and measurements to her tailor in Lagos to sew for her customers. Her sibling in surulere would package the clothe and send to the customer abroad by courier. Ngozi didn't have a single sewing machine. Her tailor in Nigeria would do all the wahala. She first started with one tailor and now She has 2. The 2 of them are always busy all the year round , doing only Ngozi's work. They work round the clock. Now she's planning to open a fashion line in London.

Please think wisely . I see you as one of the billionaires of the future generation. All the best

Ah please I would like to connect with you. I'm presently at a crossroads in my life. I have a degree in Chemistry and earnestly looking for a job. Would you please let me network with you? Even if if it's on the business front. Would be grateful. Thanks and God bless.

EgunMogaji2:
All of this is subjective.

There’s good and bad in every single country in the world. I’ve met people from Sweden and Norway who migrated to the USA and had nothing but negative about these two countries that I think are above par.

I moved back to Nigeria over a year ago and frankly I wish I had done the move sooner.

Is it shangrila? It depends. But I’m having fun here.

Of course it’s probably my age bracket, exposure and ability.

Please I'm looking for a job. I have a degree in Applied Chemistry but also ready to take up any responsibility that may be available. If you could, please help me. Thanks

Supersweet2019:
I sent you a note.

Hello, still hoping to hear from you again. Thanks

megastu:
Why do you argue on things you're not sure of? I study at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands and yes the school apply and get your visa approval from the Netherlands, if you meet the financial requirement which is either through your having being offered full scholarship like my own case or you have transferred the required fees to an account in the Netherlands.
When your visa is approved in the Netherlands, the school tells you to go to your embassy to pick it up. Its that straight as they will only ask you what you want to do in the Netherlands and thats all. Your visa is normally 100% guaranteed except there are inconsistencies in your application
Concerning admission, if you made a 2-2, forget about it and also I know people with GPA of 3.9 that couldn't get admission in my school and University of Twente. But if you have 3.8 GPA out of 5.00 and abve, you can apply for admission.

Thank you for this. That is exactly the situation. The school will ask you for some documents, once received, they apply for the MVV for you and once approved, you go to the embassy in your country and they stamp the visa for you. Once you get to netherlands, you would require some other documnts and then you will be issued your residence permit.

Mind you, MVV is not automatic, it can also be refused.

Please how do I go about applying for a scholarship in Netherlands? Thanks.

Please is this still open?
