Hello God day.

Please how can one get the19 or 20 digits WAEC verification pin for changing of DOB on NYSC portal.

Hello guys
Good morning.
Please I tried booting my laptop rn and this what I’m seeing on the screen.
What is the problem please and what can I do to solve it

MackyNaija:

5years ago I landed in the greatest country in the world and it has been a successful journey.

I felt I would make so much noise today but realizing the naira to dollar rate rose/fell from #625 less than a week ago to #700 today has left a bitter taste in my mouth...
Gives me the feeling of someone grieving a loss.

It was a great run while this thread lasted..
Thanks to all of my followers and wellwishers.

The thread served its purpose and I personally know a few people that it helped get to the US.

This is officially my last post and I'd say to those in the future reading this... If I could do it, you can do it too!

Once again, God Bless America!!! Peace Out!

MackyNaija, Sir I’m really glad I ran into this thread.
You have no idea what the information you gave freely did to me. I got to know about a career path that’s the best fit for me.

I wish I was able to connect with you via LinkedIn or Email but nevertheless, thanks for all you shared. Wish you the best Sir.

Profshow:


Yes, your uncle's surname don't necessarily have to be the same with yours (it could be from maternal side). You can provide a letter of him attesting to your relationship with him and his consent to sponsor you

thanks for the prompt response.

Moshkom:


“ This might be my last opportunity “

In what context?

Kindly get a sponsor, to act as your uncle. Just to get your i20 and act up towards your visa application.

No time. God will not kill ‘our popular uncles’ for Us.

Quick Story:
One of our guy here got denied last week, within days he got a new date and went back, good news? He got approval today. Yeah; same no profile; not funded.

So, just to tell you that got a waiver; that you don’t have any excuse. There’s always opportunities when you get there, as you school already assure you.

Package yourself till you get The White Paper. This is USA path; You can do it!!!!!!!!

Good luck Champ!

Good day chief. please do you mean someone who isn't your biological uncle can claim to be an uncle and stand as a sponsor?

for instance, can a close family friend with a different surname stand as my sponsor?

pompeiimagnus:


Mechatronics covers engineering topics like Circuit design, Control Systems, PLC, Automation, Robotics, Embedded firmware etc. I would assume a significant portion of your undergraduate classes covered these topics. If you really want to pursue a master’s, I’d suggest you shoot for CS or EE. If so, brush up on data structures, algorithms and writing clean code with C++ or Python. That’s my opinion sha.

You are right, it consists of the topics you listed and that’s the main reason I don’t see myself threading that career path.
If I could, I would have changed department to something more related to production/manufacturing for BEng.

MackyNaija:

With this kind statement, my wife go kill you throway

Sir she will understand oo

MackyNaija:

See Paccus, welcome to where?

Me wey deh plan officially shutdown this thread so people will stop waiting.
Busy with life and not always available for NL updating.

Ahh, MackyNaija, Please sir don’t go like that


Confession time:

Since I stumbled on this thread, you have served as my anonymous career mentor.
I’m currently utilizing this ASUU strike to learn Data Analytics skills mainly because you recommended that it will aide my career as an INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER ( Ps. I’m in my final year studying Mechatronics Engineering, almost similar to Mechanical Engineering you studied in your undergraduate, ).

I have also researched some schools that offer MEng in Canada ( my preferred country ) like Concordia university in Montreal and Ryerson university in Toronto ( MEng in these schools is for 2 years and equates to 3 years post graduate work permit in Canada ).

If Canada doesn’t work out then it’s definitely going to be Texa A&M University ( ) . I have lots of uncles and even a white woman I call mom in this state reason it’s easily my first choice to school in and also my dad’s most preferred japa location lol.

Sir what I’m saying is that I was basically able to gain directions about my engineering career and draw a feasible roadmap mainly because I came across you, your story and the guidance you rendered.

Yes I know life can move crazily and easily scatter my roadmap but I want to know that at least I got the best advice possible and tried my best to achieve the goals. I believe with God, guidance and a good plan backed with actions, everything is possible.

Sir, MackyNaija I would really love to still keep in touch with you via LinkedIn or Email and hopefully tell you my success story when I finally make it as an I.E ( ).

I hope this meets you well, have an awesome week ahead Sir.

Oldfashioned145:
Good morning house

My parents are my sponsors and my mom transferred 10,000 cad for living expenses into my account. Do I need to do a gift deed for this even though she's a co sponsor.

Thank you

Good day guys.
Please gurus in the house, I have a question.

In a situation like this where the mom is a co-sponsor and has transferred some amount as gift deed to the applicant, does she ( mum ) also need to provide her soa??

iPhone users please how easy is it to use your iPhone for crypto related stuffs ( trading, defi, etc ).

I'm really considering getting one but just wondering if there would be any limitation as opposed to using an android for crypto related stuffs.

Point your torch light to the screen and see if you will see some characters on it.

No I can't see, anything just a blank screen..

Please how can I contact you

Good eveng guys.
Please my system screen has issues. It initially was showing green lines and some patches but after a while the screen stopped coming on ( just a dark blank screen ). if you hit it sometime it comes up but goes back off.

Abeg who can help out.

It's an Elitebook 8540p.

Timiofak:
Bros macky, I just finished my first semester over here. Most of your insights are very great and I used them. the basic thing is if you go to class and you do assignments you can have an A before finals. Anyways I had a 4.0 this semester and even won a grant as an exceptional student. I hope next semester is the same . Thank You.

Congrats chief. Wish you more wins.

Macky's advice are really useful, personally running with some things he shared here.

FIFApresident1:

Yea, it's a very calm district, the road network is great it's actually a newly developed part of Lagos, most of the roads are intelocked roads, like the ones you See in some parts of VI and Lekki.
It's closer to Mile 2, Okota, Ago palace.

*It's very quiet with educated and middle-class people contributing a larger percentage of the population (more than 80%)

* The people there are largely Ibo and SS minorities.(Yorubas no too dey live there)

* You can connect to the island through the Oshodi-Apapa expressway.

Festac is not a newly developed part of Lagos just that it is really calm and we don't hear much about the area.


You can also connect to island via mile 2 - orile - national theatre route ( added advantage if you own a car ).


Op if you bank is large enough, you can check the residential area of Amuwo Odofin ( Ago bridge - Apple junction, festac link road, Durba estate axis ). Their estates are really cool.


Nb- police wahala is kinda on the high side in festac and Amuwo.

Wingarnium:
I was searching online and I stumbled upon their website for training. Please who has done any training with them and what was your experience with them?

I’m thinking of going through the data analysis course. I’ve heard stories about how these trainings can be trash. Please share your experience if you have done a training with them. Did you learn? Was it thorough and in-depth. Did you prefer to have learnt on your own. Please let me know make i no waste money.

Hello.
Was the training with them worth it??

MackyNaija:


1. Design is mainly for mechanical engineers.
Everyone should know data analysis because manufacturing usually requires looking through production data for insights which could be throughput, failures or for forecasting as examples..

2. Will explain longer below...
Check on YouTube for any 15 to 45minutes video on data analysis with excel, this is the entry point.

Thanks for the reply Sir, Data Analysis it is.
I'm on it already.

MackyNaija:
Floda, your questions plenty like jamb

I go come read am later when I don chop belleful.
Still unpacking from the move to TX.

Good day Sir, MackyNaija .
Hope you are doing good.


Please I have some questions again


When I went through your thread the other time, I remember you saying that you went into Data Analysis ( R ). As someone that also have a big interest in IE (all thanks to you ), I'm considering learning a skill that's related to Mechatronics Engineering ( B.Eng ) and also useful in IE.


1. Based on your knowledge and experience as an engineer, which skill between C.A.D ( Solidwork, AutoCAD etc ) and Data Analysis is more relevant to a person looking to do masters in IE.

2. If Data Analysis, what software are majorly used as related to IE.

PPR everywhere.
Congrats to ya'll.

Abeg make una they drop Landing Gist na.. Biko

MackyNaija:

As a student, you are forbidden to work or engage in any business not sanctioned by the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (oisss).
Every school has this department and they have direct authority to declare you out of status.

Those trading were done post graduation as a permanent resident.
I stopped the "gambling" so I could concentrate on building my career which was a "sure" path. As we can see, it has paid off very well.

I still buy crypto monthly, it easily asked me send money to Nigeria.

Gambling

I totally understand tho. The Sure path did pay off.

Thanks for the response sir.

Finally!!!!.
Just got done reading from page 1 up until now.

After reading the first 2 pages I jumped to the last page to see how it's going only to see that you were planning to move your wife, daughter and mother in law to Texas ( I thought you were moving them from Nigeria ). I wanted to know how you were able to achieve all these within 4 years, so I went back to page 1 and read everything up until now.
I'm really amazed for real.

I have also made up my mind to go for I.E in my masters but in either Australia or Canada ( they seem to have a more straightforward immigration pathway )


MackyNaija, please I have some questions. I notice you said you had to give up trading stocks and your beloved crypto. (1) Just wondering why you gave up trading?

2. While studying were you still able to trade?

3. If yes to question 2, how were you able to combine trading and studies.

4. Do you know people in Engineering career path that also trade part time and how are they coping with both.

5. How possible is it for an international student to sustain his/herself with profit gotten via trading the financial markets.


I'm really anticipating your reply Sir.

udemzyudex:


It powers on but doesn't display to screen right?

Well this is not necessarily a screen issue

Yes, but sometime the screen comes back on with red colour on the screen before it goes back off.

Thehardcoreunkn:
I think it's to change the laptop screen, have you priced the screen replacement?

I haven't priced it yet. Do you have any idea how much it will cost?

udemzyudex:


I can fix it if you're in lag.

I base in lagos but currently not in lag.

Please how much will a new screen cost?

udemzyudex:


Start saving for a new screen.

Same thing happened to my screen Boss.

Currently its blank and doesn't show anything.
Please what can I do??

Hp Elitebook 8540p

Thehardcoreunkn:
Good morning great minds. I just noticed some green lines in my laptop screen. How can I remove it please?

Noticed same on my screen as at December last year.
Currently my screen is blank, doesn't show any thing but comes up once in a while for like 15 min and goes blank again.

rasheed329:
Funny enough I used an Agent before I came across this trend... I did biometrics since April, I finally received messages in my email yesterday and told him to check it out for me because he didn’t give me the login to my portal.. So he sent some pdf files stating I was denied due to personal Assets and financial status.. he said I can reapply with a landed property document or CAC.. I’ve been asking him for the login he refused.. what do you suggest please?

Hello.
Been following this thread since part 19 and have over time save some information that I thought will be helpful in the future.

As regards your issue - wanting to get your login detail. I think this is a back door or so. Check the Nairaland link below.


https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/566#104609945


I hope this will be helpful.

Ps. I want to follow Lekiboboe footsteps on here. Still an UG in Nigeria though.

Hello House.
Nice thread here.

Please I have some questions to ask but here is a little back story.
My younger brother who is currently taking SSCE has interest in Cyber Security ( All thanks to his CISCO teacher ). He intends going for it in his Undergraduate studies and plans to apply to FUTO. I really like the amount of interest he has and I have source for some beginner level online course on Cybersecurity for him to take ( that's after his SSCE ).

The problem now is that I dont want him to study this course in a Nigerian University as we all know what ASUU have done and will still do.

So, my questions are,
1. Is it too early for me to give him Courses on Cybersecurity or should i wait till he starts his undergraduate journey?

2. How possible is it for him to get an undergraduate scholarship to study Cybersecurity in the US?

3. How can we go about getting a scholarship. ( I know that he would have to get a good score in his GRE or so ).

4. Finally, any other tips on how to help him develop his interest and knowledge would be appreciated.

Looking forward to getting a reply from our gurus.

no need arguing or exchanging words, Australia immigration whether pr or student is not straight forward. Facts.

Very right chief, no where is easy. Even Ghana has some level of difficulties attached but if you have the money, proper documents and will power, you would scale through.

Have an awesome week ahead.

ednut1:
you are still an undergraduate you have no factual experience except what you read online, i have 2 friends who schooled in Australia that are now processing canada immigration. You can never find anyone schooling in canada who is doing Australia immigration. There is nothing straightforward about their immigration. Ordinary assessments of degree and work experience is an hassle. Your occupation has to be in demand in those regional areas to even qualify. That's bullshit biko. Even the Australian thread on NL is on part 2 while canada is on part 10. E get why

You actually made me laugh.

This is Nairaland, you dont know me neither do you know who I know. Well, I guess having friends over there equals having factual experience.

At least it's good to know that you didnt say I was wrong like you did the last time.

I would advise that you ask your friends their reasons for wanting to leave Aussie because I feel like it just personal preference.


Aussie threads on here are not active mainly because not many Nigerians move there ( which is perfect if you ask me ).
Canada is also an awesome place and might have an easier migration process but then there are still people that the process frustrate. Same way there are also people that had a smooth Australia PR process.

Las las it's you and your Chi

ednut1:
fallacy, Australia is more harder and not straight forward, since last year they have made the points high and you have to go to rural areas if you qualify.after living there for 2 or 3 years you now qualify for PR, but canada is not like that. Your degree must also match your work experience, visa fee is also over 1m naira. Just check the canada and Australia threads on nairaland, the Australia thread is almost dead as most Nigerians don't qualify anymore. Many Nigerian students are lamenting, you go there as student, next day your occupation /course has been removed from demand list, then you go for another course of which same fate can befall you

You using RURAL AREA makes it seem like it's some sort of village or desert. They call it REGIONAL AREA mainly because of the population in those areas. Note that any other city in Australia aside Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane is considered a REGIONAL AREA. Even the capital of Australia ( Canberra ) is also considered a REGIONAL AREA.

Even looking at it in the long run, regional areas are good for immigrants because of the lower cost of living when compared to the 3 major cities in Australia. Or should we talk about international students getting 3 years work visa after studying in a regional area for 2 years or more. The downside to these regional area is that they have a lower population hence getting a professional job might be harder.


As regarding people occupation been removed from the demand list. Australia has a occupational demand list, this list have two categories - Short Term Skilled Occupational Demand list ( STSOL ) and Medium- and Long-Term Strategic Skill List ( MLTSSL ).

One ought to be very strategic especially when you have PR in mind when travelling to Aussie. Occupations under Health, Engineering or IT can't easily be removed from their demand list because most countries need these people.



I still house the opinion that Aussie is more straightforward especially when your are strategic.

jahrule:
Australia is not easy to migrate, to get its PR is very tough.

Please, who told you so.

Australia and Canada are almost the same ( PR wise ). I personally find it easier and straight forward.

The major difference is that Australia is further away from Nigeria and also they also have a high cost of living.
