Hi guys,

What's the cheapest means to transfer money from Nigeria to South Africa.

Thanks.

MistarT:
Malus are now important than Humans.

I don't agree with Amaechi, because the herdsmen should be sensitized to recognize railway tracks and avoid them. But politics aside bro, the normal Fulani herdsmen(not the terrorists) are humans too. Their Cattle are the only means of livelihood they have, so killing cattle, to them, is like destroying our shops or retrenching staff, we also react emotionally to these things. What if Amaechi had said, we don't want people to lose jobs, or we don't want to destroy shops, would you have responded the same way?

ok

amadiwati:
No that they are not taught well. In the whole of South south we don't have up to 10 Pure Mathematicians in academics

Just imagine that.

amadiwati:
Pure mathematics have no application in it's sense. It's just analytics and intuition. But a step further with it can be an ice breaker

Pure mathematics is usually ahead, while it application comes as the understanding of the concept increases. For instance, quantum mechanics was developed in pure maths and for several years no one seems to see its applicability. But the story is completely different now. Quantum mechanics is now being widely applied in physics, information technology, etc. The same argument goes for several concepts in Number theory, geometry, and the list continues. The problem is that, several mathematician in Nigeria, who are lecturers often fail to teach pure maths the way it should. They should put extra effort to identify areas of application of these theories and theorems either in other areas of maths or else where.

Shelumiel:
Hope the equation go make sense o . Not like that cauchy-reimann nonsense that is limited

Like all human endeavours, there is limit to all mathematical theory. However, I will like to disagree with you though that cauch-reimann equations are useless. Without analytic functions, there wouldn't have been several fields of engineering, computer science and the likes, where assumptions are made about analiticity of several functions. One important use of cauchy-reimann equations is to show that a function is analytic.

This is important, how can I push it to front page? Mods, please help me push this to the promise land.

The real proof might be here at last. One of the greatest mathematicians alive, Sir Atiya Micheal, is set to provide a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, a mathematical problem dating over a century. Many have claimed to solve this problem, but the real proof still eludes mathematicians across the globe. His proof might be the solution to one of the most famous open problems in mathematics.

I will be reporting live from Germany tomorrow, in the Heidelberg laureate forum, a meeting which is aimed at bringing together laureates of Mathematics and Computer science and young promising researchers in those fields, for close interaction and possible mentorship.

Hadedee:
Lagos

Can't help.

eluquenson:
Absolutely NO, except it's a family package whereby your your spouse can pick it up on behalf of the family.

My brother, never say never.... Especially in Nigeria.

Hadedee:
Please can someone help me to pick up my passport at vfs, I won't be going for some reasons

Where did you apply, Abuja or Lagos?

It seems something is wrong with the Vfs website and system. A friend's passport was delivered to him without any notice. He had tried tracking it but the page kept refreshing, then a day after, the delivery man brought his passport with visa. So I was wondering what would have happened if he had not paid for courier.
My advice for those expecting their visa, if the tracking page refreshes each time you supply your information and you're within Abuja, or Lagos as the case may be, visit Vfs physically. If you're far, send an email to Vfs or call their customer care line. Just an advice based on my friends experience please, I am not an authority.

geekybabe:
Hello pls do you have an idea how much the visitors visa application cost now at vfs

Around 34k.

life4lekan2:
That means I will wait a longer time���

Each application is unique. Be hopeful.

life4lekan2:
is SA Abuja embassy that slow in processing applications?

Of late, yes.

Bureaucracy:
Have applied for study permit since on 19th February and till now have not received any message for collection. Have been tracking online still saying under assessment.What should I do?

Calm down, your application is still within the processing time limit. Don't worry about those who are getting theirs within 2 weeks, each application is unique. Cheers.
I am guessing you applied through Abuja Vfs.

I don't know what was obtainable before now, but I have secured 3 South African visas, 2 for short visits and 1 study permit. On the two short term visas were written, work is prohibited. But for the study permit, no such condition attached.
Can I work? Yes absolutely, but only for a limited number of hours as it will be determined by my university.

Thanks dear Guru, God bless

You definitely do not need Health insurance for their applications.

I am still eagerly waiting for your response please.

HelpingHands100:
Hello Gurus,
Please I need your informed response ASAP.
I have been offered a study permit, thanks to all your questions and answers on this forum.
I want to know if I'll need a health insurance certificate for my wife and daughter before submitting their application for relative visa. Although it is not stated in the requirements, but I want to be sure.
Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response always.

SAn embassy does not respond to emails.
Anyway, the reason why third-party bookings are frowned upon is that in some cases, the hotel may prioritize direct bookings over third-party. So long as you have your reservation confirmed by the hotel, then you are fine.

Don't fret, your travel history to the SA should reduce the level of scrutiny.

Thank you so much

Thecassanova:
You have nothing to worry about provided all your other documents are intact. The VO seeing all your credentials can see you're a true applicant. High chances your visa would be granted as a PhD applicant unlike visit or tourist. They may call you for further enquires regarding that, besides emailing them doesn't work. All the best.

Thanks so much boss.

Processor01:
Hotel duration - 2days is okay.
Medical cover - pay for your momentum from Nigerian card.

@processor,
Pls l need your response to this:
Hello fellow Nairalanders,
Please l need your opinion and suggestions urgently, l have submitted my study permit application before noticing that third party hotel booking is not acceptable. Although l have called the hotel and they said my booking is confirmed. Do l have to book directly and send the confirmation via email directly to s.a embassy? My other documents are good, I hold a phd scholarship and I am also lecturing in a federal university... moreover l have visited s.a twice in the last 1 year for scientific workshops. I don't want to take any risk of denial of visa, so l am urgently waiting for your inputs, thanks and God bless.
