If another NBA election is conducted, Olu will still win. None of these SAN cares about the young lawyers. This is a tech age. We the young lawyers rule it in legal industry.


Some old lawyers cant be able to download an app from playstore not to talk of knowing how to log into NBA portal

Op please I beg you in the name of God. Do not listen to this advice. This is demonic advice filled with toxic negativity.

Upwork works. Fiverr works. People don't take it seriously. They apply to 5 jobs and then they don't hear back and come and start whining that it doesn't work. It takes hundred applications to even get 5 interviews. It's a numbers game. Apply to 500 jobs on Upwork in your niche and come and testify. I always advise newcomers on Upwork to keep at least 50000 naira for connects. If you use it judiciously you would be smiling.

I don't know if you know how the tech industry works but no one gets job in tech based on connections especially when it comes down to hardcore competency. Do you know the job of a data scientist and the importance of data science to making sound business decisions. Why would a company want to jeopardize their future based on 'connections'.

As with all things in life, getting a job is a numbers game. You can't apply to 5 jobs and you don't hear anything and give up and start mumbling that there are no jobs. It doesn't work that way. Getting a job is a job. You have to be applying to at least 10 jobs a day to show your seriousness. I don't understand many men know getting women is a numbers game as they can talk to 100 women before they can get one but they can't apply the same mentality to getting a job.

If you are talking based on statistics, let us know how many people here that are making it on upwork and fiverr based on your "logic of higher the number, higher the chances".

That it works for you doesn't mean it's working for hundred other people that are doing same thing you are doing.

I know a lot of expert data analysts and scientists that are hustling for jobs after trying fervently on upwork.

That is not enough for your maintenance money let a lone school fees.

sorry for derailing the thread. I won't say anything about the issue here or on any other thread

That is completely false, studying in the UK will cost you at least £20K which is far more than 4M naira.

bro I'm speaking from experience of a cousin doing his postgraduate degree over there. All he had was 4m. He is earning enough to cover other costs. I don't want to reveal much cuz I know UKVI go through this forum. It happens all the time

starboychan:
How can you go to UK with 4m?

4m is not even enough for means of sustenance proof

The other tout above that mentioned me thought he knew enough. With 4m naira, you can handle all these things and even get funds to prove to UKVI you have enough but I'm not revealing more. The information is expensive. By January, I will be in UK running my postgraduate

Youonlyliveonce:


Lol even tho you are trying to sound smart you still sound very gullible like the average Nigerian think traveling abroad is a get rich quick scheme.

who am I to stop you from going to make your 40million in 4years, ride on bro

God Bless Nigeria

What baffles me is how some people think they know it all when they haven't crossed Nigeria border. What you dont know is above you.

I'm not dishing out free information on that again. It's costly. Goodnight

Please I wanted to ask the best answer to give UKVI to a question concerning how the applicant will fund his second year tuition for a master degree.

Since they require only evidence of first year tuition and maintenance money for 9 months, what's the appropriate answer to give to the above question when no evidence of second year tuition funding was required and the applicant is funding it by himself

Youonlyliveonce:


You are afraid of migrating cos you are not willing to ride a Bike? Success is far from you bro.
Just the fact that you think migrating to UK with 4m [borrowed money] to study will be rosy is alarming. Depression is calling on you

Information is power. What you don't know is above you

If you stay in UK for a period of 4 years (2 years as a student and another two years post work visa) as a Nigerian guy and doesn't make a minimum total of 40 million naira in that 4 years, know you are very lazy.

At the end of the 4 years, you will have UK degree and savings not less than 5m naira if you are prudent with resources.

Also learn how to be tactful in your response, you are not a tout

I discovered that with 4m naira, one can travel to UK and start postgraduate study and even payoff the entire tuition within 8 months working 40 hours a week.

The 2 year post study work is another time to make enough working day and night to migrate to any better country.

Vietnam is good cuz its low budget. If you can afford UK, go for it and save enuf before your visa expires.

I am now afraid of migrating to Vietnam cuz I can't ride that bike. I'm yet to learn how to drive a car. not to talk of bike on expressway

@OP its good you bring your problem here. People will help you. For those saying he should learn this and that on udemy and apply for gigs on upwork and fiverr, it's very clear you guys dont know getting freelance work online is harder than getting job in Nigeria.

There's no job out there even if you are an expert data scientist. Its only through networking people get fixed into company these days.

Rotimi89:
Uk is ready to take their students back from us and Canada.
No more capping on studying. No more maintenance for students already inn doing another program. You can come inn 6 months before course start. And above all 2 yrs post work.

Great opportunity my pple.

In the proposal, there is still room for schools to test English proficiency of students outside the Secured English Language Test (IELT) on the condition the process of such assessment is stated in CAS.

The fact that our bachelor degree courses in Nigeria are taught in English Language is enough to satisfy the requirement. All that schools need to do is state it in the CAS. I don't think IELTs is mandatory in the proposal. What is mandatory is that they state the manner they assess English language proficiency of students.

If taking IELTs or other official English test exam is mandatory, then the requirement that schools explain in CAS how they assess English proficiency other than using SELT won't be stated

It is still a proposal sha

please I have two bachelor degrees from different universities in Nigeria. I don't know if I should just apply for postgraduate admission with only one of the bachelor degrees or will there be any added advantage in the future if i apply with two degrees?

Good day house, I would like to know if it is possible to cancel my Visa application and get a refund of my visa fee and also my N11,700 for assisted scanning since I have not gone for the scanning and the biometrics, because I am no longer interested in traveling this year.
Lastly, what is the process for the cancellation and refund.
Thanks

lol..the fear of coronavirus is the beginning of wisdom

AustinT575:

Pls how much is the festac own and how many days will it be given out

check my previous post. The answer is there

Buy your boss birthday gifts and start playing office politics. Skills doesn't matter a lot if you know how to play the game.

Make your coworkers love your presence more than the job you do

No integrity in Law career

.Stop saying what you don't know. Google the maxim "audi alterem partem".

Even though devil was behind Jesus Christ crucifix, He was heard by Pontius Pilate before crucifixion.

The role of lawyers is simply to represent and protect interest of his client. We are all human beings and entitled to fair hearing no matter the gravity of our offence. Only lawyers who know the laws can guarantee such fair hearing

AustinT575:


Do you mean I can register for NIN number as new user at immigration office? Pls do you know if they can give me the NiN number that same day in order to renew my passport ?

NIN registration at immigration office in Ikoyi is the most stressful of the entire process. When you go for capture on your interview date, they will book an appointment for NIN registration for you in their long notebook and allot date and number to you which may take a week or 2 weeks to get to your turn except an immigration officer is doing VIP service for you. They charge between 45-50k for the VIP service or you do it yourself and follow every process to the core.

NIMC attends to only 40 persons for enrollment everyday and you will return days later around 11pm to queue for printing NIN slip.

The officers at the gate hate it so much that you paid online and doing it yourself, and yet needed their assistance in any way. They will add to your frustration. Only officers in servicom office can advise and guide you on how to follow the process without any intention to add to your stress

zevous:


With this pandemic there's no immediate need for the passport.. I'm just waiting for NIMC Ikeja to.open up so I can apply there or maybe I would try another state NIMC self if it's possible

Nimc office nationwide is shut except the ones at immigration offices which allows only people who applied for epassport.

If you want to do change of date of birth with nimc, it has to pass three different offices including DG office at Abuja before the change is effected. That's why it takes maximum of three months to be completed.Those offices are currently under lock for official purpose.

You can use nimc at immigration offices to register or modify any data in your NIN since they can handle swift service that doesn't need any approval from above

zevous:


I swear I'm in the same situation.. I don't know what next to do.. Charging that much after paying 15k is very HIGH and unnecessary. I even tried negotiating to 15k plus the official 15k they just ignored me.. Its really frustrating. If I hadn't paid for the new passport.. I would have gone to festac and done the old one

Its better you wait and do it officially. If you need the passport urgently. forfeit the 26k you paid and do the festac own

onecoder:

The old one also require NIN

No..it depends on the processing centre. The old passport is only processed in immigration festac office in Lagos and doesn't require NIN.

An immigration officer told me that

Aprokodaughter:



You can apply with your old passport. I applied to some schools while waiting for my renewed passport and I got offers.

Once my new passport was ready I sent it to the school I accepted.

Although I did not go through that NIN.

Thank you for this response. I will start my application then. If the Nimc office doesn't open by September, I will simply forfeit all the payments I ve already made payment on epassport and go for ordinary passport that doesn't require NIN. I don't know why the system in this country is backward

please for someone who wants to start a postgraduate degree in UK by January, is first week of November too late to start applying.


I wanted to renew epassport and they said date of birth in NIN is different from the one in my passport. It takes Maximum of 3 months for the change to be effected, and the offices that will implement the change of date of birth are currently shut down cuz of covid.

So I wanted to know if November is late to start applying for January intake.

AustinT575:


Do you mean I can renew my passport without NIN number? Cuz they ain’t working for now

Yes but that will be ordinary passport, not epassport , and you can do that in festac office.

If I had realized that my NIN Date of birth was different from the one in my passport, I would have gone for ordinary passport that doesn't require NIN.

Know that they don't encourage DIY at festac office else you may wait for so long before you get it. I can give you a contact of an immigration officer there. He bills 30k to get it done within 3 days.

I will just forfeit the earlier payment I made for epassport and go for this one if NIN head office doesn't open officially next month.

I can never spend total of 45k just to change date of birth unofficially this period

duchess90:
1. Before Visa application, bank statement is part of your documents to submit

2. 1st year tuition plus maintenance

Answers are usually genuine

Cheers

Assuming tuition is £9000 per year and i make deposit of £3500, would I deduct the £3500 from the total of 1st year tuition + maintenance money that will be in my bank statement?

GBSS:


They are currently operating skeletal services. They open between 9am-12noon. I was there today to do a reprint of my slip. Please go before 11:30am. I was there by 11:45am and I was told they had close for the day. I had to plead with the guy there before I was attended to.

I was there yesterday and they said they only print slip and doesn't do modification of age for now cuz of covid except unofficially which attracts extra 30k+15k for official payment. If not that I have already made payment for epassport, I would just go to immigration office at festac and do ordinary standard passport that doesn't require NIN.

If they don't open next month, I may just go for standard passport that doesn't require NIN

please who knows whether nimc office headquarters at Ikeja is open. I was at NIS Ikoyi and confirmed that my DOB in my passport and nimc database is different.

I will have to pay 15k and apply for a change of DOB which may take 3 months to be effected.

I need to start the process now before something urgent that will require international passport comes up.

Servicom officers at NIS said I have one year from date of payment to come back for capture

Itzpretzy:
I have successfully paid and printed all the required documents.
My interview date shows 20th of July, can I go before then?

please when you paid, did you receive SMS regarding NIN verification failure?
