Useless comment.

It was IMF that told him to spend 21billion naria to build house for VP, it was IMF that asked him to buy new jet and Yatch?

Lol, you're right sir.

But can you spend money you don't have? I believe the money has to come from somewhere right. Nigeria's revenue to debt service ratio in 2024 is around 68% apprx. So majority of the annual budget would be borrowed.

To get a loan from you local bank in Nigeria, there are criteria and measures you have to meet. You don't decide those criteria or policy the bank does. And when you don't have any other choice, you will do whatever the bank wants, to get the money right?

Just like your local bank, desperate countries turns to IMF which has AUSTERITY MEASURES AND POLICIES (Meaning, make life more difficult, send more people into poverty, remove any subsidy if need be to pay us back). Mind you even the most developed country subsidized basic things like medication, electricity etc.

Once you meet the criteria and get the money released from them. You can decide to use the money judiciously or waste it and run your country down. In Nigeria case, we are doing the latter and this is why Nigeria on this trajectory and in the hands of criminals like Tinubu and previous govt will never survive.

I hope you've learnt that we are actually saying the same thing but talking about different stage of the problem.

Tinubu also has the right to blame the past govt. But he knew the problem before signing up for the job and he's repeating the same mistake the previous govt made because of his greed, personal interest and corruption.

Tinubu is the most wicked person on earth. The best solution to this crisis is to defend the naira against the dollar.

Peg the damn dollar to 700 naira and watch the issues get resolved but no they won't do that.

He can't do that. The decision to float the Naira and remove subsidy at the same time, I believe was a condition imposed on him to get IMF funding. IMF is arguably the most demonic and satanic financial Institution funded by the west. Any sane country or individual will avoid them like a plaque. But greed and mismanagement by thieves in power got us here.

You are very delusional my friend.

FOLYKAZE:
What is all these yap about dollar? Are we in a dollar economy? Do we earn or spend dollar in this country? Many who have not earned a dollar or hold $100 in their entire life is all yapping hurling insult on Tinubu.

As for the Op, you have ₦350,000 stashed away in your account. This implies you likely own more than half a million liquidated asset and value more than million naira. That whole lot is earned on this land and only on this land. And I need to ask you... How many folks in USA have $200 saved in their account like you that have the equivalent? According to GOBankingRates, below 35% of total Americans have $100 saved in their deposit bank and that does not cover their monthly bills.

The price of garri keeps increasing. A paint of garri is 4,000 naira.

Any cheap alternative to garri that one can use to eat soup?

Send me a DM

Any sane country will stay clear of evil blood sucking IMF

correctyourself:
Of what reason is he showing it? Sign of thinking opposite direction without benefits.

when common sense is not common. Showing off foodstuff to oppress or what?

I've said this many times and will say it again. Religion is the greatest tragedy that happened to Africa as a whole. The west used to have all the bibles while Africans have all the golds. Now it's the opposite.

Until we realised the true position of religion, Africa will always be under develop.

The things we pray to God for in Nigeria are provided by the government in developed countries. Securities, jobs ,social support, healthcare are responsibilities of the government not God.

God gave us brain so we can give him rest. So it's left to us to either be brainwashed by corrupt pastors and leaders or face the reality and fight for our right.

Hi bro sorry to quote you but I need your assistance and clarification, my girlfriend though she is way older than me lives in southern NZ, she is willing to sponsor my trip but she also said that NZ IS are very difficult and granting Visa these days is hard. So she is suggesting that she either come and live in Nigeria or we settle in GH, but I don't like the idea.


Pls what's your advise, and what documents do I really need for Visitor invitation, to I need POF from my side even tho she will be the one to sponsor it?

Thanks in anticipation

If she's willing to visit you for a couple of weeks in Nigeria and you can proof your relationship is genuine, you will get the visa.

An employer needs to pay a minimum of $29.66/hr for you to qualify for an essential work visa here in NZ which I believe might be your visa category. This visa category means you can only work for that employer and can't do any other job legally except under tables which I won't recommend . However because of the condition attached to this visa category , some employers do exploit their employees which is also illegal for them to do. Employees have rights here.

$30 is not a lot in NZ but it's a good start especially if the job offers a pathway to residency which in your case, I really doubt because of your $30 rate.

NZ is one of the most expensive country to live in. Your weekly take home would be around $950/week. A decent 2 bedroom will cost between $520 - $650/ wk In Auckland and maybe another $120/wk on food weekly. Sharing a flat with other strangers will cost you between 220-270/week. A single room studio can cost up to $400/week

So do the math and see if you can save enough on that rate to justify your decision.

However, you don't need Ph.D to succeed in a functioning country. Don't be surprise when you find out your manager or CEO don't even have a masters degree.

Consider your options carefully. If you can finish your Ph.D remotely or even put it on hold temporarily. With enough effort and orientation, you can change the visa category in a few years and you will be on your way to having one of the most respected Passport in this world.

My cent.

Also NZ $$$ is not Zimbabwe $$$
Today's rate is NZD 1 = NGN 617.

SHALOM!!

Ticha:


Aww thank you! You started the good work and the left me
It is really disheartening to see how easily people get scammed.

Ahah, life just got too busy at some point ni jare, u know as he dey go for this our country na.

Yes a lot of evil agents out there.

Ticha:
I am going to put this response here. Those of us that answer and respond to questions do it from the goodness of our hearts. We have full time jobs and lives. No one should hound me (Yankison this is directed at you) to respond to them. If you want immediate response, then please go hire an immigration lawyer!

To get any NZ visa, any visa at all, you must:

1. Create a RealMe account and upload all your details yourself as well as submit your visa application through there.

2. For all visas other than visitor - you must complete a full medical panel. A very invasive medical panel and only 3 or so hospitals are approved to do it. So you will have to contact the hospital, book an appointment, pay upfront. Then have your RealMe details, type of visa application details and passports which you hand over to the clinic staff as the result is uploaded directly to INZ.

3. There are different types of work visas and the exact type being applied for determines the visa costs. It would also be noted on your medical form. You need medicals for all work and student visas.

4. Complete a police background check and upload it to RealMe.

NO AGENT CAN GIVE YOU A VISA!!!! NOT EVEN A VISITOR VISA

For Visitor visas - you need a RealMe account, you need 6 months bank statements, you need to show strong, very strong ties to Nigeria and of course, you pay an application fee upfront.

Every information on NZ visas is detailed -in great detail on the INZ website. Do not allow anyone scam you. NZ has the most straightforward visa systems. It is very easy to navigate and understand.

Great job you're doing here Ticha. Your responses are so helpful to so many, more than you could imagine.

I remember this thread because couple of days ago, I met someone who recently arrived here in Akl, we got talking and I mentioned something about Nairaland and he's next question was are you "Femijck" that blew my mind. So incredible to know that something I wrote many years ago is still very informative to some today.

So keep up the good job @Ticha

Can't believe I live in NZ and only got to know about this incident from Nairaland. RIP to the deceased. Heads will definitely role on this one.

I can give you my website and show you a sketch of what I want done

olasesi:


I doubt though. The most they can be is +12 GMT. And Nigeria is +1 GMT. I think it's 11 hours difference

Between September and early April, we are 12 hours ahead of Naija because of Daylight saving. Which means we adjust the clock one hour forward so people can enjoy Daylight longer in the evening.

Then between April and August, we are 11 hours ahead of Naija as we usually adjust the clock 1hr hour backward so people can spend more time in door as it's Autum/winter in those months.

So technically we are only 12hours ahead.

Can nztea be granted to a Nigerian by new Zealand immigration knowing fully wel Nigeria is not in a waiver country on their list

anybody can get a NZtea approved.....it's up to u why u applying for one.nztea on it's on is not a visa and no airline will even allow u board with that....u can apply for NZtea yourself which only cost a few $$. Just as Ticha said.....#100k is wasted sorry my friend.

fela1000:
It’s so painful to me. Qatar airlines didn’t board on Wednesday because I have a visitor visa and they said visitors aren’t welcome. I beg the woman at the Lagos airport but she refuse to carry me. My visa will expire March 6, I don’t even know of any extension.
I have a sticker visitor visa.

Sorry, that must have been a difficult experience for u......however, I'm sure we've mentioned it on several occasions on this thread that the border is only opened to Residence class visa category and citizens.

About the visa extension, there's currently no proper guidelines or clarifications about that. Traditionally if u don't arrive in NZ before your last date of entry written on ur visa, the Visa expires as it hasn't been activated. Same rule applies to any work, leisure or residence class category visa.

I will advise u put your travel plans on hold, contact INZ for more informations. We're living in an unprecedented time globally and no country can guarantee what their immigration policies would be in the next 6 months. So you have to keep yourself updated with any change in policies. Best of luck to u.

Cheers

I thought y’all said Nigerians can’t apply for NZeta visa from previous post, but a friend of mine got this email?

You need to read those post again.....

rasheed329:
Can’t y’all in New Zealand show us exactly how the visa look like really? If you want to help why not do it �??

So the next travel agent can perfect their work and make it impossible for us to verify??

Good day Mr femijk I about to gi for a New Zealand work visa, and the procedure demands that I can only pay for the visa after confirmation. Just a visa fee of 70k is required for now. I've been following your quotes & I'll appreciate if you can help me confirm the visa when its out. To avioid being scammed. Thanks

No worries...keep us posted

waiting for the Oga's to say something abeg

What do u want us to say if I may ask?.....I didn't see any question in ur post.

If all he's asked for is a passport, I will advise u get the passport and follow his guidance just as @ugsam had advised....keep us updated with any other request or info from him.

I don't know how he planned to bring u in, but I wouldn't say it's impossible. People challenge the system all the time but it's not advisable.

I believe he's got a plan...you've got nothing to loose by getting a passport and giving it a shot.

Goodluck
