Good evening sir/ma
Pls sir/ma,I want to send my documents for legalisation but I’m a bit confused about the payment for legislation. Is the payment per pages or per document?? For example, my attestation of birth has receipt,original and remita. Am I to pay for each or it’s combined together as one document??
Thank you

You will pay as a single document and don't forget you have to authenticate it at the National Population Commission first and attach the remita receipt for the authentication.

Hey, thanks for your response! How recent was this for you? I know in 2019 when I first applied for the D visa for my master's, it was a helluva lot faster! Now, I'm back to apply for a work permit (even with a letter from my employer enclosed in the docs with my PCC), and it's taking forever to just affix a stamp/seal on ONE document!

You mentioned you also recently legalized your marriage and birth certificates; what visa or residence status are you applying for? I'm looking to connect with others that are NOT applying for the D visa for studies, i.e., looking to connect with others applying for more permanent migration purposes (hope that makes sense).

PS: Just a cautionary tale to all the master's hopefuls here: administrative procedures in Belgium are AGONIZINGLY SLOW. So, prepare yourselves and work on your patience, because that country will test it over and over again.

Well you are in luck, i am also applying for the D visa for work purposes. I received my Annex 46 on the 19th of this month and will be submitting my application on the 3rd of August.

Hey, guys!

I saw on previous pages on this thread, where a Twitter thread with a WhatsApp group for those awaiting legalization of their documents was linked. However, the link is defective. Can someone please share a current link to join the WhatsApp group?

Or, if you have recently received your LEGALIZED document(s) back from the Belgian embassy in Abuja, how long did the entire process take? My PCC has been at the embassy since the 29th of June. I've called the embassy twice, but haven't been able to get any meaningful insight(s) as to when my PCC will be ready.

PS: I'm NOT talking about authentication at the MoFA. I'm strictly talking about the legalization process at the embassy.

PPS: Is there any thread or group for people applying for a single (i.e., work + residence) permit? I understand this thread is for those applying for a study (D) visa.

Thanks!

For PCC when i submitted it comes back the second week after the week i submitted it. E.g I submitted in Week A, it is processed and closed the next Friday after the week it is submitted and they send it back via courier the second week. However for my marriage certificate and
birth certificate, it took nearly a month before it was legalized

So I was arguing with a friend who stays in the states and he keeps saying I am a rich guy.

Current salary is about 512k per month (take home), and has an annual increment of 15% of your take home. This is aside perks of perdiem anytime I travel outside work base (15k per night).

Anytime he wants me to have minor something done in NG on his bahalf, he expects me to use my money and whenever I ask, he tells me not to complain that I am rich (he knows what I earn), I don't have a problem doing those things for him.

I don't see myself rich and pls guys, what can someone earn in Nigeria to be termed rich. Your opinions will count alot as I still find it hard getting the usual daily stuffs we all use.
I am not married and do not have responsibilities. My mom is a retired govt worker and other siblings are all working.

Cc: seun mynd44 pls help us for more audience and opinions

This is a good salary by Nigerian standards only the really high paying federal parastatals, NGOs and multinationals pay such. Based on you calling per diem shows you are in the humanitarian sector but even in the humanitarian sector that is a good salary cos those working for french NGOs don't earn anything close to this amount

Dear Nairaland members, I'm in a fix and will appreciate a detailed, honest review of these two areas.
Let's say the cost of living isn't much of an issue, which of these two areas will be a better place to reside in.

Generally, I'd want your reviews to be based on the following metrics:
-Standard of living
-Security and safety
-Access to ultra modern Infrastructure
-Best place to raise a family
-Nice, modern houses (price range:150 to 250M)
-Best place for someone to buy and drive luxury cars (Porsche, Maserati, Rolls Royce, etc) without fear of armed robbers or being targeted for kidnapping.
-Rich neighbourhood with well-to-do neighbours.

I hear Victoria Island is more commercial (better infrastructure), while Lekki is more residential (better Houses), but I don't know how true that is and what to make of it.

In short, I'm looking for where I could get something close to European standards of living.

Thanks as I anticipate your responses.

Lalasticlala, help me out please.

Victoria Island is better has less traffic when commuting to work and doesn't flood like lekki

Dear Nairalanders.
I currently have two job offers on the table. One is in Abuja and the pay is about N200,000 a month, while the other is in Lagos and the pay is about N300,000. I am presently based in Abuja and have never stayed in Lagos. I only visited on occasions. The Lagos offer is tempting but I am kind of apprehensive about relocating there because of the challenges that come with staying in Lagos.
Please I need your inputs. Which would you rather choose, the Lagos offer or the Abuja one?
Serious suggestions only please!

Guy avoid lagos at all cost, rent is cheaper in Abuja and you get better quality houses in Abuja compared to Lagos, Food is cheaper in Abuja and transport is also cheaper. Choose Abuja for your health and safety

It’s easy, all emu graduates are issued alumni email address and you can easily use this email to request for that. If you did not activate this email, You have two options:

1. Direct option: Fill the WES form with all the details, sign it and email it to the registrar office. There is a person that handles this; they will tell you how much it cost for official transcript and how much to post it to WES and means of payment. So go ahead and pay; ensure you ask when it will be sent and if there are any tracking (generally they used normal post office for cheapest option which cost less but you may request them use MNG OR Aras Kargo which is faster but more expensive).

You may first contact the registration office via email first for the procedure to request your transcript and send to WES; they may already have a template and procedure to take.


2. Indirect option: if you still have a friend or someone you know at EMU; send the filled WES form to them person; email EMU registrar office and copied the friend email. Let the person follow up for WES transcript sending; this may be faster but may be expensive if you are to pay the person for follow up.

Generally EMU is fast and already be doing this process for ages so you won’t have issues with that.

When I did mine in 2015, I used MNG kargo to WES Canada it cost me 50$ and arrived 4 days after and emu charged 100 TL for official transcript then. Now transcript might have increased to 150 TL (am unsure) and MNG kargo is around 70$ to Canada/USA as of 2 months ago while post office will cost just 30 TL and takes 15-30 days to arrive.

Thank You very much Prof, i really appreciate this response i will use the direct option since all those i know have already graduated from EMU. Once again thank you

Prof @wip7 good day hope you are doing well. I have a small question don't know if you have a solution for me, I am graduate of EMU and wish to have my credentials evaluated by WES. Please do you know how one can request for his official transcripts and diploma supplement to be forwarded to WES if the person is no longer in TRNC.
Thank You

Because not all sites are ecommerce sites and frankly if you don't have any login functionality or ecommerce you don't need ssl. Some will argue that Google ranks sites with ssl better but in the end, not everybody is affected by the lack of ssl certificates on some sites

Southerners never fail to hide their hatred for northerners every slight thing becomes an opportunity to insult the north. Southerners also do drugs far worse than even the north, who are the ones known for producing and selling drugs?
The hypocrisy of southerners is appalling and their naivety disturbing,say what you want but I know that they are far more drug addicts in the south.

Here in Northern Nigeria we don't encounter this violent behaviour by sars officials. I never knew they were brutal until this endsars campaign

That means PhD for Governors candidate and msc for the 3 senators ministers house of reps etc have to use super connection be that not forgetting first class kings, Nigeria I hail o

You don't need connection to.get nitda scholarship, I am a past recipient and I didn't know anyone in nitda. Perform well in the test and if you are the best in your state you get selected.

Northern Nigeria: kano,jigawa,kaduna,jos,gombe cheap
Northern Nigeria: sokoto,zamfara, kebbi, bauchi moderate
Northern Nigeria: Yobe, Borno, Adamawa expensive
Abuja super expensive

Real men impregnate so that the marriage rites would be cut down. In the Ibo culture where brideprice could be mind boggling, a proper and adequate short cut is to impregnate the babe and see you marry her in credit.

Then your in-laws would tell you to come perform the rites with the little yiu have, maybe later as things improve, you can now balance up

balance up

I also got the bio data message for a second time.

Yeah me too I also got the bio data update 20- 22nd I am afraid of filling it out cos they said only once

Naija media always portray fulani as the aggressors while in southern kaduna, the Christian community make life for Muslims there unbearable. Attacking them whenever they find an opportunity and then using the Christian controlled media to portray them badly. All is well and All is fair, vengeance shall come

I got an IV for aptitude and technical assessment this week from PWC. Any info on how to combat this successfully would be greatly appreciated. Thanks y'all.

It's a normal aptitude test plus technical questions in the field you are applying for.

cardeeree:
Can anyone here who wrote the test hint on the content of the assessment? Just got an invite for the 2017 one.

You got invited for another test for network administrator?

IoTEnthusiast:


@IYB, have you gotten any feedback for the Network admin role yet?

Yes I went for an interview on Tuesday

Any news regarding the network administrator role. I saw a missed call from pwc yesterday but when I called they said it was a switchboard so they can't trace who called

jejemanito:


These are the kind of people Lugard deemed fit to join me with?

And who the hell do you think you are insignificant speck

We don't need any name to know the girl is from southern Nigeria. Southerners are just too into criminal acts whether Afonja or Ugandans all of them are criminally inclined

If this guy was from the north we will not rest today as the mofos from the south will fill this thread with insults. Thank God he is neither a Muslim nor a Northerner choke on that southies

Na him nigerians no full there...
Its not cheap anything, trust me I know

Most schools in Saudi Arabia are free, the only reason why Nigerians are not there that much is because they mostly admit only Muslims.there are plenty of hausas studying in Saudi Arabia and also lots of yoruba Muslims studying there

chomaloo:
afonja=hypocrites afonja=cowards afonja= saboteurs afonja= back stabbers afonja=mouth makers afonja= full of strive and jealousy afonja=tribalist afonja=fools afonja= 9ja problem.dont trust an afonja.they will sell u for sweet.I have never seen people whom are so difficult to live with like afonja.

Afonjas are all of the above that I agree with you but everyone in Nigeria is tribalistic but the Ugandans are more tribalistic cos they make it hard for people to live in their land while they enjoy in other people's land.
Ugandans hate everybody that is a fact, afonjas are more open to strangers though trust them at ur own peril proudly arewa

I knew it will be someone from southern Nigeria. This southies are professional criminals whether Afonja or Ugandans all of them are criminally inclined. Proudly arewa

Benita27:
Being able to read in your dialect isn't literacy. I believe the Igbos and Yorubas also had their means of communication which was as well in their dialect but at that era most Yorubas and Igbos like the likes of Awolowo and Akintola got Western Education while the Northerners were busy plotting coup upon coup. The Northern central system of leadership was just another factor that made Lugard's direct rule system strive in the North, followed by their illiteracy. It has never been recorded that the Northerners were more literate than any region in Nigeria. Ever!.

Northerners could read and write before the British but southerners couldn't. I don't get why southerners find it hard to.believe that without the British missionary schools they won't be educated as a matter of fact the north was the more enlightened part of Nigeria. Let's not forget the only thing southerners know how to do at that time was to sell their people for pieces of trinkets mirrors and beads hence the reason why the Caribbeans ,south America and north America are littered with people that have the blood of southern Nigeria
