What about cost of living and language barrier?

Cost of living is high in Hong Kong but that's ur best bet. There is work that can pay u well and most of them above 40years of age can speak English. It's is a very developed country. You will love it

Pls I intend relocating my young family to Port Novo in Benin republic by this December but I want a candid advise from those who have lived their for year. I hustle at Ogun state but my family is in Delta currently where my wife does her dance tutoring in primary and secondary schools with sewing biz which she operates from home. Now I intend bringing them closer to me but after exploring Abeokuta, I was not impressed with the city and the next sane place I can remember that isn't far for me to access them is port Novo though wify and I had that initial plan of relocating to same place B4 now though kinda changed mind.
* Now I want to know if she can easily get same dance tutoring job in some of the bilingual schools there and will like to know if tailoring job pays well there?

* I also want to know if clothe biz still pays bringing into this naija despite the currency crash.
* Which affordable place can one register for french course within Port Novo?
*Which good Montessori schools can be recommended for the kids between 5-7yrs?
* & Probably the average cost per term
* How much is the cost of cooking gas and what is the best alternative?
* Average cost of 2brdroom flat in Port Novo?
* Is foodstuff cheap or expensive comparing with naija?.
* Is there some leisure parks or places in Port Novo where kids and adults can go to catch some fun
*Lastly do u think relocating them there is a good idea?

Pls can someone still venture into this business and still make good profit despite current exchange rate? If yes, can I do picking instead of buying in bale and still make good profit too? Lastly what is the name of the market u will advise I go to. Thanks

Gambia by road... your journey starts from seme border straight to abijan via Abc transport. From abijan ivorycoast u will sure tell d driver to link u up on where to get a bus direct to monrovia or freetown when u arrive freetown u take a bus to guinea conakry direct.. getting to conakry u take another bus to daker senegal. Senegal to the gambia is via a ferry not a direct road trip. I cant remember how much i paid . U will convert your naira to cfa in seme boarder shine your eyes and know d market value well.
I lived in the gambia for a very long time as a kid with my family i stayed in manjai close to west coast radio. Bro truth is the gambia isnt as developed as Nigeria u cant be loudly rich but u sure will be very very comfortable. Good light back then dont know about now.
Steady security, good roads i never withnes any road accident the only one i saw was a donkey colliding with a bicycle. The gambian currency value dalasi is higher than d naira. Gambians love Nigerians almost all d banks in gambia r nigerian banks. Good opportunities to start a business lots of retired white ppl live in d gambia. It's the number 1 toursit destination in west africa. Food is relatively cheap and her ppl are really straight foward and hospitable.. plus the gambian passport is the sixth strongest in africa lol

This ur route is a very long and difficult route bro. Ur best bet is going via Bamako, Mali from cotonou. It's faster and easier

You want to go to liberia. You have signed up for extreme poverty and suffering raised to the power 5. I hate Nigeria with all my being but when I visited Liberia, I started to thank the lord for making a Nigerian. Liberia no get hop o.

Smh4u. It's very obvious u are not an entrepreneur or a real biz man. So during ur little stay at Liberia as u claimed, u didn't discover any good thing. It's well

they have requirements you likely wont meet. If you overstay na suffer and deportation last last. They currently have a work remotely visa . You must earn over 50k usd yearly

I am planning in establishing a betting company in another African country. So I know I must have to face one or two challenges which I know some but seeking to share ideas with you guys to know your own opinions. Let me know the possible challenges I may encounter so I can fortify my self and plan ahead. The country in question is with a population of less than 8million people. Every advice is also highly welcomed. Pls let's be open minded and let's avoid insults. Thanks as I wait on ur great contributions.

Pls am planning to buy a Nigerian used 2007 or 2008 Honda Civic for bolt purpose. I would have preferred a Camry 2.4 over the Civic but don't have more than 1.1m for it. Considering the fund at hand, I was advised to buy Honda Civic 2007. So I will need advise from car gurus on this pls. From my research, getting a good grade of that Camry should be above 1.1m and I can't buy a Nigerian used car without having extra cash in case of any minor repair. So pls I would love advise from gurus in the house considering this 2007 Honda Civic durability and the purpose of purchasing it. Thank u

I need a 2.4 Toyota Camry(big for nothing) or Corolla for higher purchase to be used for taxify. I can confidently accept this offer in Asaba, Benin or portharcourt but currently I live at Asaba. Am ready to give an advance payment of 300k to any interested person. Thanks.... 09130797074

lack of passport booklet is now be coming alarming. For months now immigration have been claiming this and I need to apply. Please help us tag them on Twitter � to do something to it.

Which state are u and what specifically are they saying about it as regards the time of availability? My cousin will be going by Monday for his by Monday @Asaba. This issue has lingered and govt not doing much to resolve it. Our booklet comes from Malaysia

GLORY GLORY GLORY... MY VISA WAS GRANTED.
i did my biometrics on 20th October, got a mail from TLC to come pick up on 6th November (13 working days).
i dont know how i was lucky cause sincerely i was really scared and skeptical on my chances of getting the visa.
cause one i didnt upload my bank statement, there was no point cause my account isnt clear, i have unusual credits there, and from what i gathered here, bank statements issues are always a cause of refusal.

i think what did the trick for me is because i made my application simple, i ensured i summarized all my points and put everything i needed to say in the Application form, i did that because in case the ECO does not open my cover letter i would still be grounded cause i have laid my case already.

Also, i would be travelling with my boyfriend, so i uploaded our pictures and i did an explanation on where we took all the pictures, (i included pictures of us at date night, goofy pictures, e.t.c, but nothing inappropriate) my reason was i needed the pictures as proof of relationship because he is my sponsor for the trip. also in my cover letter i refered the ECO to his bank statement and the actual dates when he sent money to me, because he always send money to me.

finally, for my itinerary, what i did was to google tourist places in uk that relates to my career, rather than stating the generic london eye e.t.c, i needed something to show that albeit that i am travelling for tourism i still want to gain something from the trip.

This worked for me, it may not work for everyone , so this is just for enlightenment, i learnt so much from reading this thread, so i just thought to share my story also.

goodluck to everyone expecting a positive news.

What God can not do does not exist.

Woow...**What God can not do doesn't exist*** That's just the point bro... Big congratulations dear... Shine on...

Pls for the gurus... Does it mean that passports with rejected applications don't take up to 15 working days to be returned? cos some people were saying the longer ur application process without refusal email means the application is most likely to get approval. A friend of mine said his biometrics was done on the 20th of October which yesterday made it 13th working days but no email and still @DMC when tracked today. Could it be a positive sign? cos I learnt from the thread that someone who did same date with him has been asked to pick up his passport.

Sleeknay:
Can someone please respond to this, thanks in advance

I believe it has been granted anyway. God will do it for u dear. Meanwhile tourist or student visa? And where was your submission center?

Sanmigbola:
19th-29th of Nov

I think u need not to worry about it for now until your visa comes out. It's not ur fault and even if ur visa is still under d process, the counselors will know what happened but I feel u will need to rebook another hotel before traveling to avoid any hitch at d POE

Sanmigbola:
Hello guys, I just got a cancelation mail from my hotel because of the shutdown in the UK and am still expecting my visa decision.

Can I book another hotel and forward it to the embassy or what should I do?
I hope it won't affect my visa decision?

When did u put as your date of arrival and how long did u say u are staying?

pheemeehan:
Follow up information about my wife application, she was at TLS Ikeja to collect her passport, Visa granted with validity till June 2021.

Hey people! Back again cos I’m about to start freaking out. So I called UKVI this morning to ask if there’s any reason my application is taking so long (today being the 17th working day) and they told me a decision has already been made on my application and that my passport is back with TLS contact. However I never received any email apart from the one they sent when they said they’ve received my documents. And I’m not sure why TLS hasn’t emailed me about my passport. I paid for courier service so they’ll bring it to me. My question now is:

has anyone experienced this before and should I be expecting a refusal letter with my passport?

Is there a number for TLS?

Pls may I know if u have been tracking your application online via TLS app? Want to know the stage the app is indicating currently... Thanks and I pray it works out fine for u IJN.. Amen

Guys I just saw on the news that England will be going into a month partial lockdown starting from next week Thursday, which is expected to end on the 2nd of December. Could this affect our visa application and our tourism in the country this December?

luvlycutebay:

Everyone awaiting this kind of goodnews shall receive it soonest.

HONESTLY THE WHATSAPP STUFF KILLED D THREAD.

SIERRA LEON AND LIBERIA WHICH ONE IS BETTER??

sincerely the both have good biz opportunities but as 4me i prefer liberia. Sierra leoneans are born liars and thieves without conscience but if u learn to live with them, u have passed. Its quite peaceful though and virtually everythin here is imported and sold at high price. Their currency is poor but liberia is american dollar and liberty which is x2 of naira

Whatsapp group tins has eventually killed such an interesting thread. Its well. As for anyone that needs info about sierra leone, hit me up, have been living here for over a year and half. Was in liberia last year and should be there again by nxt month hopefully. Still has little info about guinea conakry

people still make us believe that we can't survive in ivory coast with 500k. what I want to hear is the secrets to surviving with such amount. There no impossibility certain things like this. I am very sure not up to 50% migrated with such amount. i am ready to hit d road. please I need d best guide line from our brothers and sisters presently living there. God bless u
