Good Day Makinde,

Have you been assigned a Case Officer now.

I understand this point very well just that I have always believed that one needs a job offer before he can proceed with a visa application.

ugsams:


Congratulations on your journey so far. Did you get a job offer in New Zealand?

Marula:
Alright. Thanks. I searched and found none but just needed to find out if it was written in your ITA letter or if they asked you for it.

Did you submit a bank statement or anything to show your Financial capability after you received ITA? I'll appreciate if you can share the documents requested for in your ITA letter. Thanks so much.

Hi all, I tried this route some time last year but he found out that the work experience must be comparable to that of NZ or Australia, and from the list I remembered Nigerians can't claim points for work experience that was achieved in Nigeria.. if this has changed kindly advise

Marula:
@Jmakinde, Congratulations! Thanks for being selfless and sharing your journey to inspire others. I'm inspired. Yours is proof that one can still get ITA without a job offer even though job offer increases your points and chances of being selected. I'm not in the NZ race for now because my points though over 100 is not up to 160. I'm here by the sidelines, cheering you all on while learning the process and all it takes. Keep supporting the likes of us by providing your updates and answering questions as much as you know and can. Thanks again Bro.

Former Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has condemned the recent Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

Recall Igbere TV reported earlier that properties includings cars which belong to Nigerians in the country, was set on fire by South Africans. Shops belonging to Nigerians was also looted by South Africans as captured in a viral video.

President of the Nigeria Union South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, had said that recent attacks began on Sunday morning in Jeppestown area of Johannesburg.

Mr Olubajo said in a statement on Monday that the mob “looted several shops that were around the vicinity suspected to be owned by foreign nationals.”

Reacting to the development on his Twitter page, Murray-Bruce said;

“I am saddened by the stories and videos coming out of South Africa.

“I’ve also read reports that the Nigerian embassy in South Africa denied entry to Nigerians who visited to register their displeasure.

“These incidences are unfortunate. Our citizens deserve better!.”
