The most cumbersome part of this is that, the banks are the one pushing for it and not CBN. This will make it more difficult. If CBN says they are not banning this thing and the banks keep telling us no forex story, what can we do?

Nigeria: Forex Sales for School, Medical Fees Not Banned - CBN


The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has debunked the reports, mostly by online media, that it had stopped the sale of dollars for foreign school fees.

The apex bank, however, explained that it would henceforth prioritise sales to sectors that are more productive in generating employment and adding value to the Nigerian economy.

Banks' managing directors had last Friday revealed that payment of foreign school fees alone gulped 15 per cent of the total foreign exchange supply, far more than the amount that goes to the importation of raw materials.

A source at the Central Bank told LEADERSHIP yesterday that some of the journalists who covered the Bankers' Committee Meeting last Friday had misconstrued what the banks' chiefs had said to mean a stoppage to the sale of foreign exchange for the payment of school fees.

He assured that the apex bank had no immediate intention of banning the sale of foreign exchange to those schooling abroad, but stressed that the top priority was to ensure that forex went to those that would add value to the local economy.

Frivolous demand for foreign exchange had depleted the naira's value to new lows.

The external reserves continued to decline, reaching almost a 12-year low as it crossed the $29 billion mark to a 30-day moving average of $28.931 billion as at Friday January 7, 2016. This brings the total decline of the reserves from the beginning of December 2015 to 3.17 per cent decline.

The reserves which was at $29.880 billion as at December 1, 2015 had dropped by 2.7 per cent within the month to $29.069 the last day of last year before a further shed of $138.668 million dollars between December 31, 2015 and January 7, 2016.

Having hovered around $30 billion since September last year, the reserves began a steady decline in December, coming down to $29 billion which it maintained throughout the month before it hit $28 on January 4, 2016 - the latest figure given by the CBN.

The external reserves had depreciated by 14.1 per cent last year, having fallen from $34.46 billion by December 31, 2014 to $29.069 billion by December 31, 2015, according to figures given by the CBN on its website, covering barely four months of imports.

A source within the CBN explained that the decline was due to the fact that the level of inflow accrued into the reserves was slower than the level of outflow during the 30-day period.

According to Olubunmi Asaolu of FBN Quest Research, the dropping level of the reserves may be a result of falling oil prices at the international market.

Chief executive of Cowry Assets, Johnson Chukwu, explained that the drop in the foreign reserve may not be unconnected with the negotiation of letters of credit established for the importation of PMS, which were funded from the N413billion allocated to the payment of petrol subsidy in the recently approved supplementary budget.

Chukwu noted that "if the reserve falls below a certain threshold, the country may not be able to meet its foreign currency obligations. This could trigger loss of confidence by the country's trade partners who may insist on cash collateral/cover before establishing letters of credit for Nigeria's importers."

My Interview

We had to wait for hours because there were much applicants for family reunion.

Make sure you practice the mathematics questions posted on here earlier and do ensure you are good with your square root and Pythagoras theorem (I'm poor with figures, sure you don't wana be like me.. lol)

Though, i wasn't given mathematics initially because she asked me what i wanted ( na divine favor o). She gave me management questions: What is art of management? What are management styles? forgotten the other one.

I was given an S.O.P to write, reasons for going to Germany for Bsc/Msc (first applicant to write an s.o.p).

For my oral interview, they were the normal questions we've shared here.... Why Germany? Why the course? Why Bsc/Msc? Attractions in Germany? Your city? First president? Course modules? How many semesters? and other stuffs.

HINT: if i tell you say i ace the interview, then i dey downgrade God be that....... So tey the V.O offer me and my pal water (may be cus say she too delay us)... Just be focused, pray hard and have faith. God is the author and finisher of our faith.... God is just the standard.

Timeline
interview- January 12
Mail to fund- January 13
Db details- 21 of January and 2 of Feb
Am mail- 1 feb
Arrival of package- 8 feb.

I gast let you all know that i didn't use leadway nor IGI..... I used Standard Alliance Life Assurance (15.624), it's good too.

Disclaimer: I am not an insurance agent, just ask your questions here and use google anytime you are confused. Cheers.

All Glory to God.. The maker of all things.

dolpaz:


Nice one Fapper. But euros rate is not constant on Azimo. You may be surprised to see the same euros being sold for 245 the next day. Also, does your sister provide the same admission letter at the bank for the same transaction or you "Dagbo" admission letter..

Just asking cos the transaction officer may ask questions or better still, do you sort your way out at the bank.

Lastly, your blocked account can't withdraw more that 670€ a month. After withdrawin, how do you pay bills, feeding, and all..

Good job bro !

1stly i no de pay rent nd

2ndly i used d 3months 670 plus 1k which was part of ma salary 2 start

3rdly na same admission letter, na even kleve admission i de use ..which is not d skul i am now lolz

4thly do it in union bank dem no care at all weda u do am b4 or not bt dont do it frequently mayb 1nce in 2 wiks.. startd dis early january nd i tested it b4 i cum out 2 brushin ma pple abt it..

lastly u kip watchin azimo bt sins i don wan start dis stuff wey i de study azimo d rate no de drop much e even de increase fast n i guess its because of naira devaluation doe it falls on azimo and d lowest i don c we e don fall na 287 and even sins den till now wey i jst check na 294 de dere

What i wanna say now is anoda means i de use chop 4 germany even as i de do xam wey i de job 1nce a while and i will like to share dis with ma e family here in germany.

It goes thus;

gather all ur capacity can carry from ur block acct send am through azimo to 9ja cos presently d rate is abt 295 or so dat u wil sell ur euro 2 9ja and it will b delivered into d 9ja in no tym... u will b tynkin wat nxt
This is d nxt step, fynd person wey u trust 4 9ja 2 go any bank and obtain FORM A 4 u, send d person d normal docs u take carry d money enter wen u de cum and tell d person 2 go with hin international passport.. u all wil b surprised wen i said i don send over 4k go owse lolz dis means boosted ma cash daku and make e no b like say na only me go de enjoy am..i de use union bank carry d money enter at d rate of 230 den sell am go 9ja with AZIMO at d rate of 293..pls trust d person u go send d money to in 9ja oooo lolz..ma lovely sister dey do d stuff 4 m plain and i gat no issue n dis wik i de xpect sum euros at d rate of 230 too from union banks cos ma sis acct has bin debited , dis is d 3rd transaction i wil do and believe m start with better capital ur income go rise die....i no cum count bridge 4 germany cos all way na way 4 me ooo... thanks 2 cahnellvan wu introduced dis AZIMO 2 m doe i told him abt dis dat i would do it i no knw if e go styl remember bt dis is jst 2 sharp una 2 dis means..i hope dis help dose in bad cities findin it difficult 2 gt jobs

luv u all

Futurewiser:
My stay in Germany here for 3 yrs was a hit back to back. pls if u want my german visa, come and collect it. Stop listening to those guys telling you Germany is easy cos i have met 3 guys here complaining those in nairaland deceived them that Germany was easy and job full cos they were seeing something different here. First of all the language na die
The reason most people dont come back is that they have spent so much and have to endure their decisions in frustration cos coming back empty handed na the worst so them don price so them must buy. Na that situation unua want? Pls think of better countries like Canada. Na the free sch fees deceive me come here but how many people dey even graduate here sef wey be say their education tough die and if u fail one curse 3 times dem do drive u commot from sch. How u want take even cope for study when u never pay bills and no job or when u even get job if at all u got and u come back late so tired after doing heavy rejected jobs here how do u think u cab read again that day. who no go no know. Many Nigerians are depressed here and frustrated. God bear me witness am speaking the truth but nothing but the truth.

He who has ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying.

lolz c u oooo, u tynk canada better pass germany 4 u as a student hustlin abi hmmm...PROMISE2 where u dey oo b like person de gt wrong view abt student life in canada ooooo, bro jst fynd better city de 4 here if u like ur sef cos from dis way u dey yan abt canada i de sense some errors in ur view...not 2 b offended abeg

cahnellven:


I sight you baba

lol, gbo gbo munich...i don later book dat stuff..we go yan 4 whatsapp later

Hampy:
What exactly is your point here? That people shouldn’t pursue their dreams of studying abroad, even if it means borrowing the funds? You’ve been very informative with your post, thank you. But you’ve only succeeded in playing on people’s fears and you may have discouraged quite a few peeps in the process. You may never know. You criticised those you say come on here and paint glory pictures of Germany, while you have done exactly the same thing by painting sorry pictures of Germany. How about those that borrowed money to fund their blocked accounts, got to Germany, paid back their debts, go to school, work the regular menial jobs you say are available, make good grades and come back home with a very good certificate? It’s either those people are not in Germany or you’ve just been so unlucky not to have met them.

IF YOU HAVE DREAMS OF STUDYING IN GERMANY - DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! DO NOT LET ANYTHING STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR SUCCESS. FORGET THE STORIES THEY TELL YOU ABOUT THIS PERSON OR THAT PERSON. BE READY TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS - EVEN IT IT MEANS “GOING TO WORK AT 4AM, COMING BACK AT 2AM, OR HAVING ICE BLOCK FALL ON YOUR HEAD”.

Over and Out.
