Here's the link on xenophobia in S.A, na serious issue o: https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/xenophobia-attacks-nigerians-south-africa/amp/

You said Nigerians are getting killed and I asked how many? Is he going to SA to do petty jobs?

A heartbroken entrepreneur who was a victim of burglary some days ago in Surulere area of Lagos has lamented the loss suffered by the ordeal after the entire shop was cleared. Sharing the sad news, the fashion designer revealed how the business started years ago after lots of savings and planning. Read what was shared online.

In other words, if your family member was involved, you won't see 2018? Well done.

Which type of visa and which country do you want to go to?

realone009:
True talk, but we searched the internet and found that some countries don't even ask those questions, and that their schools apply for the visa on behalf of the student. I no wan mention the countries before spy go check see am dem go come start to dey ask about criminal record. Anyway, OK I'll tell him to try Germany but aren't their programs taught in German? Yes I have heard about someone who got deported from Malaysia but later left for S.A, but I heard that South Africa isn't so good for Nigerians and that Nigerians are getting killed due to xenophobia. But that's a very good option.

Thanks man!

I recommended Germany with the assumption that he is going for a PG program.
How many Nigerians have been killed in SA?

Take a bus to Minna, tell the driver to drop you at Bida. Bida is on the way to Minna (1Hr).

Which forensic evidence, I know am him no go fit do anything like that and no be even rape, she said he hit her when na lie, becuz he asked them for pictures of the bruises but they had none so obviously racism involve there. White lawyer talk, dem hear, African lawyer talk dem, no gree. Well na solution I dey find for am here o, no be to rain blames on him. Do you have any solutions for him?

It's not a case of racism going by your narration. He pled guilty and was given a suspended sentence and his immigration lawyer (a different case from the criminal case) could not stop his deportation.
There's hardly any Western country that does not require you to disclose any criminal convictions so the whether Canada shares the information with them or not is in consequential.
He can try Germany, they may be more lenient if he is able to explain his crime. He can also try South Africa.
He can also try migrating to Canada or Australia, perhaps the criminal record may not be too important for those situations.

Excellent! No "quarantine" issues again. Those customs officials that delight in exploiting passengers will have to come up with another way of doing that.

You can google universities in those countries and look out for funding. Fees in Australia is expensive but then I don't know how deep your pocket is. Another country you can consider is Germany with low or no tuition fees and opportunities to stay back and work

Is this guy ok at all?

There is this friend of mine, she's still a student, she has a steady boyfriend whom she loves but is broke, but there has been this persistent toaster on her case who is financially buoyant. My friend has not had a laptop and phone for quite a while cos hers was stolen a while ago, and these things are necessary to read with in her school. Her parents said they weren't getting any gadgets for her again cos the last laptop they bought was also stolen when raiders came to the reading rooms in her school. Her parents are also against her doing business in school as they think it would disrupt her studies?p.
She told this her steady boyfriend that she needs a phone and not an expensive one, i think she asked for a techno about five months ago, but her boyfriend kept telling her he would get with no show, he didn't give her a gift on valentine even though she got him one cos he forgot and didn't have money.
A month ago, her boyfriend moved to a new apartment. She feels he should be settled first before she reminds him about the phone.

Yesterday, she called me and told me that the persistent toaster just got her a phone. She doesn't know what type but he said he noticed she didnt have a phone and she wasnt on whatsapp. He said it was a gift for her with no strings attached.
Our question is this, should she collect the phone, even though she doesnt really like the guy? If she does and her boyfriend sees it should she say she got it from another guy? Wont it lead to issues in their relationship?
Would really appreciate your wise and helpful comments? No insults please?

Is it her boyfriend's responsibility to get her a phone? Can't she buy one for herself? Oh! she's also broke, so should the boyfriend date someone who is rich instead, since she is broke herself.

Thank God for a Nigeria film that brought to open the activities of those involved in human trafficking . I would have fallen a victim, but then I had watched the movie. My mum who was ignorant of what I was been coarsed to go into, was very happy and encouraging me to travel to Italy. I had to tell her that there are no job anywhere for me safe for prostitution. I have to let her watch the movie. I believed strongly that before the movie so many people were ignorant, but after then, I refused to believe that those girls don't know what they were getting into. I so rest my case.

I didn't know they traffic men for prostitution too. Do Italian women patronise men on the streets?

Not true, but be careful the university you go to as not all of them are up to scratch. Babcock is one very good private university I know and their graduates are employed in companies around the country.

Can Police Use Wiretaps?
Police wiretapping is actuallly a rare phenomenon, contrary to what movies and T.V. shows would have you believe. Nonetheless, the police are allowed to use wiretaps in some circumstances. The most common situation where police are allowed to wiretap phone calls is when they obtain a court order.

How Do the Police Get a Court Order for a Wiretap?
First, the police will ask a prosecutor to get a court order for a wiretap. With the prosecutor and the police will then have to go to a judge or magistrate and make the requisite showing before the judge will grant the wiretap order. Moreover, only certain local and federal prosecutors are allowed to apply for wiretap orders, and only certain courts can grant the use of the wiretap.

What Do the Police Need to Show in Order to Get a Court Order for a Wiretap?
In order to obtain a court order for a wiretap, the police must show the probable cause required for a search warrant exists. In addition, the police must also show that they either unsuccessfully exhausted all other less intrusive means of investigation, or that those other means are too dangerous.

What Will the Court Order Say?
The court order will essentially permit, yet also limit, the use of the wiretap. Typically, these orders will:

Place restrictions on how the information gathered can be used
Restrict how long the police can listen to conversations
Limit the types of conversations the police are allowed to listen to.
The court order can place many other restrictions, including who can listen to the conversations and what records the police must keep.

What Happens If the Police Do Not Have or Violate a Court Order?
Without a court order, the police cannot listen to your phone conversations, unless one of the parties consents to their use of a wiretap. Any information they gather cannot be used against a party in criminal trial. The same is true for information gathered in violation of the court order. The information can be suppressed as the result of an illegal search. Moreover, if the police use a wiretap in violation of a court order or without one, this can constitute police misconduct.

Are There Any Exceptions to the Rule That the Police Need a Court Order?
In special circumstances, the police can get an emergency wiretap, where they will work with the phone company to setup the wiretap immediately and the prosecutor will have 48 hours to obtain a court order. This is not technically an "exception" because a court order is still needed, even if it comes after the wiretapping begins.

Where did you get this from? Hope you are not quoting another country's laws for us? I do not believe we have stringent wiretapping laws in Nigeria. Do you know that evidence, even if illegally obtained, is admissible in court in Nigeria?

healthmatters01:
Sure, I did, sir. I learnt the hard way.

I never thought I could be so gullible myself.

Report to the bank so they can investigate the account and the holder.

Good for you. Do not pay for jobs yet you will not hear. Hopefully you have learned from this.

Reduced By one year not to one year. Bloggers and comprehension problem.

Did the military allege any coup plot? Nigerian's like rumors too much. The military chief warned his personnel to stop romancing politicians and suddenly it means there is a coup plot?

mansakhalifa:
@dustydee perhaps the poster is not well acquainted with military terminologies. Mutinies do not always lead to coups. Misleading caption and fake news as you rightly said.

Yes, the OP may be ignorant but I expect the paid moderators to at least read before pushing to front page. This has been an ongoing issue here and Seun doesn't seem to care.

Is mutiny now the same thing as a coup? Why does nairaland delight in miss informing people? Seun please try your moderators. They don't seem to know what they are doing. This is at least the second "fake" news I have read here today.

Chai! see young man. I hope the staff will not undermine his authority because of his age.

It's not illegitimate to get citizenship by first schooling abroad. But what did you tell them at the embassy when you were being interviewed or sent your application? Let me guess "Once i'm done schooling, i'll come back home and add my quota to the development of my country". That's actually what they want to hear but a lot of people have post-educational plans which includes getting a job upon graduation, becoming a permanent resident and invariably becoming a citizen. Except of course the decision to remain in the UK came up after you were done with school.

My point is that a lot of us are not totally clean and we have done some things to get to where we are.

The UK does not conduct visa interviews except for a few cases. I did not intend to stay as I had a very good job back home but I got an offer which I accepted. That does not stop me from moving back as soon as I find a better offer.
This case smells of deceit based on what he has said so far. There's the right way and the wrong way.

Odiegwu! What did the man really do to her? I hope she wasn't tricked into having a child for residency purposes. The girl looks like an addict, did the man take advantage of her?

The truth is gradually coming out. From your story so far, the immigration officers are 100% right.
It is people like you and those before you that acting in like manner that makes them look at all of us with suspicion.

[color=#007700]Were you called as well?[/color]

I think I got a mail from them last year or the year before. Their site looked so real. The only mistake they made is that I did not apply to them as I was not looking for a job.

Those that do not want progress. They prefer the people to remain in the dark so that they can continue to Lord over them.
If they dethrone him, I believe the country will gain from his expertise if he goes into politics.

Open drains in this day and age.

[color=#007700]Please how did the training go? I'm really curious about the company. They've called me for an interview. Please let me call you. My Number is 08188086127[/color]

It is most likely a scam.

kokosari2:
Hi all, i need to make a choice between resigning my appointment with a renowned financial institution and going abroad to further my studies. I'm at a crossed road.

It depends on the school you are going to. If you are going to a TOP 20 MBA school, then go for it otherwise you may have to think twice and weigh your options depending on the school eg. Oxford & Strathclyde are outside the top 20 but you have a high chance of finding a job soon after the program. It also depends on how much you earn in Nigeria.

My late father who died in 1993 has shares with UAC. The problem we have now is that we have nothing to present to show ownership of those shares. I once saw the certificates shortly after his death but then i didnt understand what they are until some years later and i went back to check and couldnt find them. I browse the company's website and i saw his name in the Unclaimed Dividends list. I tried to contact UAC Registrars through the phone and email address provided on the website but both the message and call doesnt go through. I discover that the only option is to go to their office in lagos. I live in kaduna and am not sure if there is a solution since the share certificates are lost. Please is there anybody who is familiar with how this thing work? Your advise is needed P.L.E.A.S.E!!!

Check this site using your father's name, you may be able to find the account number and the registrar which you can approach for further enquiries.
