Gud day Bosses,thanks 4 all the previous help.
1.After getting the admission at NEU and EMU, am l expected 2 pay a full year's TUITION or can l pay for just a semester??
2. I visited 2 banks to ask about the FORM A for payment of school fees and l was told in both banks that students can no longer use the form A to pay fees,that we hav to go and source for forex from BLACK MARKET whose prices are now twice the CBN rate thereby making tuition fees expensive. I want to know if there are other means of paying fees at a cheaper rate than that of BLACK MARKET??
Mr WIP,GODSONG nd all the other BOSSES, your answers are needed and will be highly appreciated.
#JAHBLESS#

called a friend that works in skyebank and you are right one can't pay with form A for now. It's best you just get it through black market and make your payment of if you know someone here you trust, you could ask him to help you pay or ask around for some boys who will trade by paying your fees for you here while you pay into their 9ja account.. I am working on something with near east to make payment of tuition easy for students coming to near east, will update as soon as it's done . If you must contact anybody make sure you confirm everything and shine your eyes.

Gud day all the BOSSES in th house. I want to ask some questions about banking in NC.
1. When in north cyprus can l withdraw money(turkish lira,euro,pounds) from ny naira account by using my mastercard?? i.e can l withdraw the equivilant of 5thousand naira in euro's from my naira account using my mastercard or can l only withdraw from a domicilary account with my mastercard ?
2. If i can withdraw the equivalent from my naira account, does it convert the equivalent at the official bank rate or black market rate??i.e if l want to withdraw 1 euro frm naira acct using my mastercard(when in NC), will it give me the 1 euro at the offical back rate( which is 1euro=226naira) or at the black market rate(1euro=350naira)??
3. Can a freind or relative in NC (which l trust) help me pay the fees at NEU?? And if he can how do l get the money to him??
Sorry about the length of the question,no be my fault na naija government and their new policy,dey talk say students no fit longer get FOREX at CBN/official bank rate.
Your answer's will be highly appreciated in this my time of distress.
#jahbless

pay your fees using the form A and you can withdraw with your naira master card in any currency depending on the ATM machine.. Withdrawing is slightly higher than cbn rate plus cards have limits per month.
It's adviceable to get like 3 ATM cards to triple your limit.

Thank you sir. l have a few questions abt NEU.
1. After paying the tuition fees and other's are there still other expenses at NEU i.e books,textbooks,study materials e.t.c and how much can one budget for that??
2. How much can l get a fully furnished cheap 1bedroom apartment in nicosia very close to NEU??
3. How much do u advice l budget for utility bills per month??
Thank you very much

social activity fee €100, if you check my previous post you will get all the details about housing here in Lefkosia.its cheaper to share a flat than get a one bedroom, normally utility bill are btw 100-180tl that's about 10k a month it could be cheaper depending on how you use electricity, washing machine etc. that will be shared by the occupants of that flat.
If you get a 3bedroom and share with two other people your bill will be an average of 100pounds a month.

3. Am l eligble for the 75% or 50% scolarship at NEU with a waec result of 6c's and 1b??
4. Does EMU accept a bachelor's degree in interior DESIGN from NEU for a Master's in interior ARCHITECTURE??

Good evening everyone, I will be through with my National Youth Service Corp programme in April, 2016. I will like to apply for a master degree in International Relations and am looking at EMU. I actually graduated with a strong second class lower. I will like to know the best time to start my application and the neccessary document needed. Thanks for your quick response.

you can apply by June, you need your transcripts, Bsc, Waec or Neco and your international passport data page.

I have been able to make progress just left for me to make my final submission which i intentional did. The beauty of it is that u get appointment without waiting for the embassies reply. The only challenge is the site being down at times but i think it is okay 4 now.

@penroll i will like u also to give ur experience on this, i have seen u answered dat precise question in the past but i can find the exact page it is. though Mr wip replied but he stod in between the coin and it is the reason 4 not submiting my application.

My question is on my
sponsor's bank statement.
My sporsor's bank statement is very good in terms of cash flow it is
29 pages showing transaction. the opening balance is arround 3.5 mil
but as at dec 31 the closing balance is 530,000. Is turkish embassy
concerned with the closing balance
Thanks

@lexicool I believed I answered you when you mailed me, just tell your uncle to ask the person printing to reprint till the day he had 3million plus, that way his balance stays up to that as of that day and since it's still less than one month from that day you will be fine, trust me on that, if he has had good transfers of up to 2mill at once in the past then he can transfer that or do what @Ugochukwu deposit with different names if possible and you print after some few days you will be fine. That's based on experience.trust me closing balance is very important, I helped some people for canada and it is very important because even if you paid a full year tuition fee, you still have tickets that cost above 200k coupled with other living expenses.you presented your uncle as the sponsor but would it be reasonable that he has less than 500k and all will be given to you?? We are lucky that Turkish embassy ain't Canadian embassy, if not they would also check what he needs to take care of the family or business depending on what the case may be. Do what I asked and you will be fine.

Please guys, my uncle is trying to type the sponsorship letter but the issue am having is that I don't know who to address it to . Can someone please enlighten me on how to go about that?

This is all i know

"To the Turkish Embassy"
------
------

What will i put underneath?
Thanks

I'd ratter advice to to tell him to write the letter,stating he will sponsor you through out your studies and you should also state that you wount seek for job or schorlaship from any institution.
Then let him take the details to the typist at the court premises, they will put it in their format, make sure you both sign.
it would be taking to the right authorities for signing and stamping. It's about 700-1000k to get it done in Lagos.It wount be addressed to the embassy.

EFFECTIVE WAYS TO CUT DOWN ACCOMODATION COST IN NORTH CYPRUS.

Standard Dom accommodation (a room with 4 beds for 4 occupants and you will share bathroom ,toilet and kitchen with people on that floor)cost €900 per semester + €200 deposit =€1100 or €1400 + €200 for two semesters, plus an additional €600 for summer =€2200 or N440k a year for accommodation @ Near East University.
The other option is to get an accommodation off campus.perferably a 3bedroon also known as 3+1 here in Cyprus. (It has toilet bathroom, it's fully furnished with A.C, washing machine, oven , Gas cooker etc) and that cost range €375 - €450 a month. ( I am using euro due to the school mode of payment, it's usually in pounds or Turkish Lira but that's the equivalent. That's about €4500 - €5400 a year plus the usual 1month rent deposit and 1month agency fee, that's €5250 - €6300 a year, the rent deposit will be collected when leaving as long as you don't damage anything and there are usuall electricity bill and water bill monthly.
Now the point is 4 people share a room in the Dom and they pay €2200 a year which is a total of €8800 a year with less comfort, that's €2950 - €1900 more than a 3+1 with more comfort. The main deal is that most average students here share a room which means €5250 - €6300 could be shared between 6 people.
If it's been shared between 6people = €875 - €1050 a year for accommodation, that means you will be saving a lot.
The school always provides free 3days accommodation to new students after been picked at the airport. The 3days is used to decide if you will stay in the dorm or look for an accommodation off campus. The only catch is you will need little time get to know your way around here but you can't get lost.
Outside accommodations are been paid monthly, some landlords take 2-6months rent.
I hope this helps someone out there.

@dreamcome2ru I understand you, everyone on this forum who has contributed greatly has posted their e-mail address which people contact them through because that's the only way people can send their documents for application since they can't post it here. You can read back through this forum and you will know that is a fact. Maybe i over posted mine which I'll work on.

@orimolafe what are you getting at? First of all no illegal medics can pass the airport and it's at least 2-3 airport from Nigeria to Cyprus. Did you have to open a new account to post such accusation? If you are so sure about your self why did you have to open an account just for this?

BANKS TO STOP USE OF ATM ABROAD
Deposit Money Banks have commenced a process to stop all customers from using their payment cards, popularly known as Automated Teller Machine cards, for dollar-denominated transactions when they travel abroad with effect from January 1, 2016.
SUNDAY PUNCH’s investigation also revealed the banks would not allow their customers to use naira-denominated ATM cards locally for transactions denominated in forex.
This means bank customers will not be able to use their cards to buy products from foreign e-commerce sites like e-bay and amazon.com in which payments are made in forex.
The development follows the lingering scarcity of foreign exchange, especially the dollar, to settle obligations arising from customers’ use of the ATM cards for forex-denominated transactions.
Already, Standard Chartered Bank has notified its customers that from January 1, 2016, they will not be able to use their naira-denominated ATM cards for transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies, either locally or when they travel abroad.
In a notice to its customers, Standard Chartered said, “This is to notify you that from January 1, 2016, your naira card will no longer be enabled for international use. This is as a result of the limited foreign exchange supply in the financial market.”

I had to address this issue and I don't think it's true , I got an email from my Nigerian bank stating the new limits per month via withdrawing with ATM or transactions with POS, one thing I know is if this was true anyone with a Nigerian bank account that receives email messages from their bank would have gotten this message just like we all did with the BVN , besides baning the use of master card or Visa card is impossible and its against banking policies the only thing .the only issue that came with the mail was the limit and the fact that it clearly stated withdraw in the currency of your location.You guys don't have to panic, there will be no ban on ATM cards.

My advice to anyone coming to North Cyprus to school , make sure you have funds for study and accommodation, it's a beautiful island but jobs are not easy to get here compared to countries like canada and U.S.A. The truth is the grass is greener only where you sprinkle water, in other words it could be greener if you work hard and also focus on studies.speaking Turkish is an advantage to getting jobs here but that's doesn't mean if you don't speak Turkish you wount get jobs, I know people who are working , it's about you bending your self a little , most people crowd the restaurant sector for jobs and the truth is they can't take everyone, I have adviced someone in the past to work in a shop that repairs A.C and he was getting paid,his salary 1300tl a month if he works full time, that's 90k naira , yes it's not enough to cover all you expenses but it will go a long way as long as your life style is not flashy.
There are opportunities if we think out of the box, there are thousands of male blacks here and they cut their hair every week for for 20 to 30tl ( 1400 - 2100 naira ) the craziest thing is that there are very few whites who know how to cut black mans hair especial in Lefkosia.
I have been on queue of 12 waiting in turn just to cut my hair, learning how to cut hair in Nigeria is like 2weeks, same thing goes for females , I am not here to give people false hope or anything , but the bitter truth is that life is not easy anywhere and most importantly life is all about choices and taking calculated risk.. I know people who where nothing in Nigerian and they will tell you that they are grateful to God for coming here, the thing is if you make it here and finish your studies you have a lot to gain.
Your journey does not end here, people I know have left here for the USA,Canada and other European countries for master and Ph.D.
I am not trying to sugar coat anything but the truth is bitter, nothing is easy in this world.
It's always safer to have sponsor to back you to study here I don't dispute that. If you have a plan and North Cyprus fits into it then go for it.
I am grateful to God a million times that i left Nigeria. I am only speaking for my self. I hope this message helps someone. Thank you
