Had it been Nigeria's got a Citizen working Data base you idiots ought to be caught and be used for the next 221Special task force brigade shooting practice. Idiots

Guy shut up, the citizens have no love for the military, why would I love the same military that would oppress me for being a civilian tomorrow!

Same military that kills unarmed civilians and protesters dont deserve pity from the same civilians,

We see the military as our enemies because that's what they are!

I have lived in different climes and I have seen how their soldiers are loved and respected because they deserve every ounce of it not like some barbarians in uniform.

Worse career at the moment is the Nigerian army ... you will be hated by civilians who would even relish at your demise, you will be underpaid and probably used as a pawn in the war against the money spewing insurgency, even for barracks superior officers would toss you around, the only gratification you can ever have is oppressing innocent civilians

I am guilty of all

Please do they require statement of account or they want a blocked funds?

How much is rent there on the average?

Why not look at a 2007/2008 Acura MDX? It's better than the GL and the Highlander. Cheaper too.

I dont know about the Acura

This is also the same maintenance for a petrol engine

Dm me on what's app let's talk about this car

Your number is not on your profile

I am currently comparing the Gl 450 2008 Honda pilot 2009 and the Toyota highlander 2008, I really don't know which to go for, I am more inclined towards the pilot as I used the 06 model before but I would like to give the Benz a try, Is there anything I should be afraid of as regards the Benz?

I am also interested in fuel economy, efficiency, maintenance and other factors?

Nice car, anyway its higher than my budget, what do you think about Gl 450 is it a good buy?

Ifesinachi22:
Bro please.

What of Latvia and Ukraine?

Are they still bad like this?

Ukraine is bad, Racism in Ukraine is higher than TRNC, Latvia seems better,its an EU zone, you can easily migrate to a better European country

wildrose1721:
You are so right. If anyone is to enjoy Cyprus, either as a student or a migrant, he/she needs to have money! The cost of living compared to Naija is way high, it being a tourist country. You pay for everything you use.

It is EXTREMELY difficult to get a job in Cyprus. Leave whatever any agent will tell you. You MAY get some hotel or restaurant jobs, but they are likely to consider Pakistanis first (they learn the language quite faster, and maybe they accept 'shit' compared to Nigerians.

I had to do all sort to add up to the little I received from home- offloading goods from container, gardening, etc. ( I couldn't get dish washing job in any hotel, even after filling forms with passport photographs. Lol).

That being said, the locals are friendly, and the place is very safe. No harassment from the police. Even when I had not done my student muhaceret (permit), I could walk even at 2 a.m. in front of the police with no fear.
I am surprised hearing Nigerians are being killed, way way exaggerated. I want to believe the deaths recorded apart from natural causes are cases of deal gone bad: Drug, cult or 'picker' whatever. As at then, grapevine had it that TRNC was the next hotspot for G boiz after Malaysia. Hushpuppi was once received there with fanfare.

As per my opinion, I am not really convinced of the education standard. It is not more than what you will get in an average private Uni in Nigeria, though they are more organized, and the lecturers are more open. As for acceptability of their certificates in EU or wherever, I had a course mate who after completion of his Bachelors got a scholarship for Masters in Germany, so I don't think that is an issue.

Some of OP's points are way exaggerated. As at 2017, students needs to have Turkish transit Visa to go to Cyprus, so I don't understand the Right to Board stuff OP talked about; maybe it is a new development, I wouldn't know.

Note: The above is my opinion. Different people may think otherwise.

You dont need a Visa to go there now, ask anyone you know on the island, you only need to Apply for your OK to Board it cost between 150k to 300k depending on the agent processing it for you and you are good to go, when you get to Ercan Airport you will be stamped in.

I got admission earlier this year to study there. I was supposed to leave 16 March, I thank God lock down started and I didn't go. I've later hearing sad stories about the place ever since so I decided not to go again and my agent has been disturbing that flights are resuming September. My agency and application money went in vain, about 160k and I am sponsoring myself. Agents will never tell u d truth, always make research on ur own

Bro no try am, the system here is designed to take from you and not to give to you, just take heart and let go of the money you have spent because you will definitely spend more and there are no jobs here

idogbo:
I never said 30tl is 30naira, I only said 30tl seems like 30naira to them... Na your naira no good.. If we were using Pounds will you speak I'll of the island... Blame your government and leave the island... Am not an agent, I graduated from there and no longer leaving there, so stop saying what u don't know, dem really talk am say na who no de house de say e go beat police like say e de there.

I am not on the island but I left this year so I am in a better position to talk about recent happenings and besides so many ppl have shared their experiences why are you eager to crucify me for stating the obvious

idogbo:
BRo shurup must u use taxi, dumush(bus) from lefkosa to magusa is 16tl, if you can't afford a taxi while not use a bus, do you know d distant between lefkosa to magusa. Naira is worthless doesn't mean the fair is high. So get your shit right...even people in US don't run AC's all day during summers. If u can't afford the electric bill with AC then get a Fan, no let oversabi kill you.. Stop blaming Cyprus but blame the worthless Naira, there was a time when naira has so much values than TL what will you say about that, 30tl is just like 30 naira, will you enter a taxi for 30 naira in Nigeria... Please let's be guided and speak with wisdom and stop dishing out gibberish based on sentiments. If Cyprus no sweet you stay Nigeria shuo... I have been living here for over 4years, the only complaint here is the house rent in pounds other than that everything is normal. You really need to start traveling so you can see the difference and then you appreciate Northern Cyprus.

Mugu, in your bid to lure more students to the island to fatten your purse, 30tl is now equivalent to 30 naira ,just imagine how stupid and desperate you sound.
Did you just say appreciate North Cyprus? I weep for your potential victims.

idogbo:
In response to some statements made by Hon. Abike Dabiri, I would like to give my condolence to the family of Hon. Justice Bello. I also wish to state without equivocation, that North Cyprus is one of the safest if not the safest country. We recognize the fact that international students face several challenges outside their country to which North Cyprus is not an exception. However, it is important to note that insecurity is not among these challenges in the Northern Cyprus society. Like every other country there have been cases of deaths amongst Nigerian students as well as other international students. Contrary to what the NIDCOM boss had said, these causes largely natural and has nothing to do with hate from locals, as a matter of fact, some of these cases are as a result of disputes amongst friends of the shared nationality. 95% of the names given by the NIDCOM boss have been deaths from natural cause, it is rather bogus and ridiculous to say that 100 Nigerian students have been murdered in North Cyprus, “those are numbers from a war situation”. The publication of these statements appears to buttress my concern on the inability of the media to carry out investigative journalism, thus focusing more on just selling stories. As the CEO of NIDCOM, it is expected that Hon. Abike Dabiri would have taken the pain to visit, and get required facts from the North Cyprus government before making the claims in her press statement. This is because, over the years Nigerians have studied and are currently studying in this country. Also, the universities in North Cyprus are internationally recognized as universities of Turkey, and graduates are accepted all over the world, NIDCOM should also gather necessary information about this. We are very much aware of the security challenges in Nigeria, and the number of students that have unfortunately lost their lives within our country and abroad however, we should bare in mind that there can be challenges anywhere in the world. I am therefore calling on parents and guardians of students in North Cyprus to remain calm, there are no killers or murderers in North Cyprus. As the leader of Nigerian students in diaspora, I would like to state that as much as Hon. Abike Dabiri is entitled to her opinion, she should in her capacity as NIDCOM CEO, visit Northern Cyprus to find out the truth about what resulted in the Death of the young man. She should also inquire about investigative measures taken by the country’s police force instead of, demonizing the island and its education, in a bid to cause panic amongst the parents who have children studying in Northern Cyprus. The NIDCOM boss should be aware of the sensitivity of this issue, and the aftermath of her claims will neither be, beneficial to the thousands of Nigerians studying in north Cyprus, nor the grieving family of the young man

Look at the lengthy post u penned just to prove the island is a paradise. It clearly buttresses the fact that we are our own problem as a nation.

Brawlscartel:
I got scholarship to study in near East university Cyprus is it save

I wanna know before I move

If your parents are very rich and they can afford to part with nothing less than a 100k a month aside from Tuition fees and accommodation, then you are good to go but I would advise you to go elsewhere, TRNC is not worth it, I get angry each time I see this devilish agents luring students here, the funny thing is that the island has been seriously hit by Corona issue and they depend on foreigners I.e Tourists and students for survival, so they are campaigning and advertising seriously to lure students down.

They recently launched an incentive where each new students would be given 500tl about 30k but it's a trap to lure students here, 30k in naira wont buy you food worth 5k.

And dont be deceived by that scholarship, that's also part of the traps, you would think you wont when you get here, you will still pay 75 percent of the normal tuition fees which is also a win win for them!


The funny thing is that this mushroom universities are on the same level with our private universities in Nigeria I bet it did not take up to 3 working days before you got your admission letter.

I have given you a honest opinion about how things are over there, the ball is in your court!

benflow7:
I stand to say most of this write up are not founded as I currently live here; you just over exaggerated things just like the trending news making rounds. Taxi cost is less as twice as you mentioned sir and accommodation fee are charged per session and not per semester as claimed by the writer which is about 1800-1900$ per session and a session is for 10 months. Other claims also spoke about electric bill and the likes; depending on your consumption you pay an average of 70-120 Turkish lira for electric bill. Travel within two state used to cost 10 tl before the pandemic and within a state bus fare is about 4tl and taxi is 20tl. Yes Cyprus is an educational friendly island and I concur and it’s not the government that lured you with a lucrative job waiting for you. Stop been a peddler of fake news all in the name of earring your view. The same island you complain about it’s still the same some few are making it without adding Sheddy deals. The island is safe though not under EU yet cos of the break away they had with the south but it might interest you to know that Uk has an embassy here and they boast of having tourist come in from different part of Europe on yearly basis.
Their citizens also attend their universities as I have some as friends, even foreigners aside from third world nations have few nationals here cos their tuition is cheaper as compared most part in Europe. Accommodation is cheap if compared with European nations. Please get your facts and acts right and don’t be a rumor monger

Please dont be unfortunate in life, which of the Cyprus do you stay in, that you will pay 120Tl for electricity consumption with AC or Heater during the summer months and please dont let Ogun descend on you, there is no taxi that will charge you less than 30TL even if your destination is just next door, I talked about Taxi , A Journey from Magusa to Lefkosa cost 250tl, a 30 minute drive and that's almost 20k in Naira,40k to and fro, a journey from Gonyeli where I stayed to Haspolat where my university was located costs 50tl(3000), I spent an average of 6k per day and 30k a week on transportation alone to campus.

Please educate this noble house what are the jobs for students there, it's obvious you are among those agents who lure unsuspecting students to the island.

A Zimbabwe friend told me that they used to have a high number of Zimbabwe student on the island in the past but since those who came to the island have been narrating their ordeals their population has gradually reduced, I wonder why Nigerians cant do the same!

ideabuilder:
The part that got me is where you said North Cyprus is safer than Nigeria.

Anybody that die overseas have 100 times tendency to die in Nigeria if he had stayed.

Please at any slight opportunity run away from Nigeria

The news about Nigerians dying from violence is over exaggerated, those are mere propaganda! I am not sure it's up to 10 in the last 3 years

able88:
You just blacklisted a beautiful country. How long have you lived there to know all these?
Or is it hearsays?

Long enough, you can barely survive on 100k a month aside from rent

Just put Anonymous

I have always wanted to warn Nigerian students seeking prospects in Europe or abroad generally to remove the option of TRNC from their list but l lacked the motivation, that time to sit down and pen a lengthy post discouraged me, but in lieu of the recent headlines on the news, I will say my bit and warn anyone who probably has been nursing that idea to desist from going there!

I felt the agents who processed my admission for me were not fair to me as they ought to have warned me enough but anyway, it's a dog eat dog world. They were only interested in loning their pockets.

Though, the news going round on social media that hundreds of Nigerian students have been killed there is grossly over exaggerated, there have been some killings but Northern Cyprus still remains safer than most part of Nigeria to be candid!

The TRNC is a country which is not recognized by any country in the world aside from Turkey, they have no natural resources or industries to generate revenue from, so they built some universities all over the country and they branded the Island as A STUDENT FRIENDLY ISLAND, may God punish them for that deceit!

The only source of revenue for the Northern Cyprus government is Education, their own citizens dont attend their universities, they mostly school in the UK,Turkey or the southern part of the island which is under the EU zone, to further enhance the scheme of luring unsuspecting students to the island, the TRNC is one of the easiest countries you can travel to as a prospective student, I bet it is not one of the easiest but the easiest!

A prospective student can apply and get admission in 3 days and you dont need a Visa to go there ,you only need your admission letter and your original school documents to go there, a process called OK to BOARD so most Nigerians who have been denied admission or have been denied Visa in other countries have no choice than to jump at that offer, A prospective student who applied Today can be in TRNC in less than 2 weeks to show how fast it is!

All this is to encourage students to come to the island and help their economy, the TRNC is a very expensive country to survive in,it costs about 300 pounds on the average to get a decent 2 bedroom flat and the hostel fees on the average cost about 3000 euros per semester aside from school fees, let me break it down further, 3k euros in Naira is equivalent to 1.5m per semester and we have 2 major semester in an academic year which means an average of 3m on accommodation alone, The tuition fees here starts from 2500 Euros per semester on the average! Which is roughly 2.7m in Naira.

Now that's not the worse part, the worse part is the day to day living on the island, it costs about 40 turkish lira to take a taxi to any location and that's about 2,400 naira and 4800 in total,for a to and fro journey though there are school buses which the government claims to be free but they are not entirely free as the cost of transportation has been deducted from your school fees.

The TRNC government lures student to the island to boost sectors such as housing as accommodation is very expensive, even the locals here dont pay what foreigners pay for housing they pay lesser, students come in to boost the tourism sector, the hospitals and pharmacies benefits from it, the transportation sector benefits from it and ofcourse it creates that multiplier effect that propels their economy.

Any household item or commodity whatsoever that you desire to purchase here is over 7 times the rate in naira, let me give examples, it costs over 2500 naira to buy a pain killer like panadol which cost around 200 naira, it costs about 15k to buy a charger for your phone, electricity bills can be as high as 60000 naira in a month during the summer and winter months when the air condition and heater has to be used, yes I said 60000 naira, Gas and water bill is something else entirely, the price of everything there is Jaw dropping as the prices are inflated to leach every penny from foreigners, they believe that every student especially Nigerians are rich!

When you register as a new student here,their universities will seize your original certificates to trap you so you wont leave and if you decide to leave the school you will be asked to pay termination fees in addition to whatever debt you probably owe the school!

Is it not crazy that a friend had to drop out on financial reasons and he was asked to pay over 2800 euros with the fees he owed the school before he will get his original certificates which he submitted while registering as a fresher!

Some of the institutions here fail students deliberately so that they can keep paying this school fees and trap them in the system to keep boosting their economy.

To crown it all, their are no jobs there coupled with the harsh and expensive living conditions many students have no options than to engage in petty vices.

95 percent of the universities there, the degrees are not Recognized by several international bodies, what the agents mostly do in Nigeria is to tell Nigerians that they are going to Cyprus and they will think they are going to the Southern part of the island which is an EU zone but on getting to Cyprus they are taken to the North. In fact the temporary residence permit wont take you to any country and since the country is not recognized most countries dont have embassies there which means to relocate you probably have to get a Tourist visa from here to Turkey which is not so difficult to apply to any country of your choice.

No b all abroad b abroad, and na small the north Cyprus take fine pass Nigeria sef, the roads are not so good and the houses are not so rushed.

According to the last NANS report there are approximately 30000 Nigerian students on this island and we have Zimbabweans, Congolese and other countries from other developing nations both in the middle east and Asia here.

My advice to all prospective students, if you are nurturing the idea of coming here to work while schooling please jettison those ideas. In fact dead it!

North Cyprus is not worth it ,one bit! I have spoken and its finally out of my conscience, who get ear make e hear!

And as for the grammar police wey go wan check my post for spelling errors and punctuations, this post is to share my experience there and warn prospective students against going to that expensive island.

I lived in Cyprus, terrible place!

For those asking about my experience, I created a thread

I now get why a lecturer would want to stay out of IPPS, because before a lecturer can break even, and take care of his needs, he would have to lecture in different colleges (which is violation of Civil Service rule) , sell mark to unserious student (gross misconduct) and over work himself

Why did they say he shouldn't drink it,why cant he drink what he is selling? Of what use is it if I go to a restaurant and the owner cant eat what she sells.

On another note, the idea of the these herbs and concoctions aren't healthy, yes they might be effective but have you considered that they weren't mixed in the right proportions, have you considered the fact that excessive usage might have deleterious effects on the organs, how do you measure or know if usage is in excess, is it these same sets of unlearned barbarians that would give you the right dosage?

We just have to be careful with everything we ingest besides these Northerners would still be living in caves and dying like fowls if not from the little exposure they are getting from the South.
