I haven’t been seeing my PM lately! Exams period is here and I probably won’t have much time until semester break

Oh, sorry about that, I’m sure you’re studying really hard, don’t want to be a bother, but I was wondering if you’d be kind enough to help out with mock interview. I understand you’re busy and your schedule is tight right now, I’d really appreciate if you could spare some time no matter how short. Thank you and God bless.

Well, that is what Nairaland has become now! Anytime I open nairaland here, I always try to make sure non of my white friends are close to be because the last time a friend tried nairaland, he came back to complain about how horrible my country is with daily bad news! All thanks to the mods for the way they are portraying Nigeria!

Good evening boss
I PMed you earlier, don't know if you saw it.
would be glad to have a chance to chat with you

Go to any embassy close to you. If you like go to cotonou embassy , if you don't present your case well, then its ain't gonna work.

Read past transcripts, prepare well, know your stuffs and make good eye contact.
In the past , Abuja was the easiest embassy , I am surprised hearing from you that it's now tough.

Like I said, the general consensus on this thread seems to be that Abuja is tougher than Lagos (perhaps in recent times), you can go back on the thread and read through. Thanks for your response, much appreciated.

Hello house,
A quick question, I’m in a dilemma as to which embassy to go Lagos or Abuja? Read through and noticed quite a number of users advice against going to Abuja because it seems the general consensus is that it’s tougher getting approved... Any particular insights as to why this is so.
Your inputs will go a long way and is much appreciated.

Please anyone with any insight? Thanks.

Hello AbujaNIV

I have a question to ask, is it possible that your visa is denied after you have gotten the white paper and asked to come back in 3 days to pick your passport?
I was chatting with a friend last night and he was explaining to me that someone he knows was denied after getting the white paper from the embassy, reason was that the 'VO/Embassy checked the documents he submitted with the school during his application and discovered that he submitted a fake account statement'...
I have a hard time believing this but I need to be sure and confirm if this possible/true.

My people My people.... Visa approved today. 7:45am batch (even though na around 11 them interview me)... Nairaland has been awesome....

Congratulations on your grant!
Please share your transcript as is the norm on here, so other people can learn a thing or two... Will help to contribute to the thread's 'awesomeness'.

Drummerman:
I need an answer pls

You'll most likely get a rejection. You may have to move your offer till the next intake and reapply.

Stanleyelege:
Anyone coming into Melbourne this June should holla me.

Response to some questions raised.

I'm in Melbourne. Rmit .

Yes I didn't know how to drive before leaving Nigeria. The last assignment in Nigeria was to learn driving.

Driving here is not about obeying the traffic light. There are other things u must observe as a driver else u will be fined. Back in Nigeria we don't always belt up.


Public Transport system here is not all that good. Sometimes I get a job to resume at 5.45am and the train starts at 5.25am. How can I get to a far distance of 1hr 30mins under 20mins. Whoever has money for car should get one upon arrival.

Next question.

My certification includes
White card( construction
Fire safety cert
Food handling
First aid certificate
Other checks are police check, working with children check.

1.Whoever is coming here should come with enough energy not just money or eguisi.

2. U ve two options if u are a man. Locate an African church or locate any fat oyibo woman.
I ve both .


3. If u are a handsome man in Nigeria that use to like to rub powder. Just thruway that powder because u are not coming here to form fine boy or pink lips but to hustle because u must pay bills.

4. Be rest assured that u must triumph here. Australia is a land of victory and opportunities. Cast away ur fears

Can you explain point 2 further...? Thanks.

Howoheye:
Pls let me knw if u eventually get one. I think flinders fee is almost same as that of UQ too.

University of New England is cheaper AUD22500, but you should only go there if you have enough money, small town, tough to find jobs...

Albion05:
Sir, I value this wonderful piece of advice. I want to pay for my first year tuition fee in Nigeria before leaving. Am only worried how am going to pay the second year tuition fee. My mind is with UQ but paying the second year tuition is just my worry. I doubt doing a job over there can offset my second year tuition fee.

It is not impossible, it will be tough, considering the program's demand but definitely doable. Remember you have up to 4 months of break in between sessions, during this time you have unlimited work hours. You'll just have to give it your best shot!
Like I said earlier think and look very well before you make the leap. I wish you all the best.
Good luck!

Albion05:
Good morning everyone.
I have done all the research needed for my Course.
Am going for Masters of Nursing...

University of Queensland ( Masters of Nursing Studies) 2 years, and AUs 28,000 fees.
University of New England ( Masters of Nursing practice ) 2.5 years and AUS 20,000 fees.
Please any body in any of these schools should please make input.
Which one will I choose?......
Your Constructive Criticism is welcome.

The Master of Nursing studies program at the UQ will cost AUD30,128 per session which totals AUD60,256 for the 2 years. UNE is about AUD22,145 or thereabout.
UNE's program is cheaper yes, but the entry requirements are tougher than that of UQ. In my own opinion UQ is better for various reasons
1. Location
2. Requirements
3. Program structure...

You can do some more research o, but going to Armidale, New England means that you should have a lot of money saved up, because finding a job will be tough. Its a small town in rural NSW. It may appear to be cheaper by a considerable amount, but in the long run when you consider other factors (maintenance cost, finding a job, location...) it may not be worth it? Do more in-depth research before you make the leap. My 2 cents.

Albion05:
Thank you.
How will I PM you privately?
And which of the school?

CC babajigga

This forum is for everyone to share knowledge and benefit, you never know who you may be helping with information you share, there's no need for private messages, just paste the information of the school and any other piece you feel will be of help on here.
My 2 cents.

PurpleG:
OK sir.

Hi @PurpleG A big congratulations on your admission, I wish you the best of luck!

The nursing program at Flinders is a bachelor's yeah?

PurpleG:
Congrats dear, did you apply through pfl?

Hi @PurpleG, wondering if your admission at UniMelb came through?
Hope you don't mind my asking

Good day house,

Been a while...

Please I'd like to know the process of assessment for Lawyers under the SOL program...
Tried reading the guidelines online but I din't understand fully...

Please anyone that has done it before should help out with information.

Hello house,

Please is there anyone currently studying at the University of New England, Armidale?
Thinking of applying to the school, but first want to know what life is like in this city, in terms of job prospects, accommodation...
Any information deemed necessary is welcome.

Thanks.

PurpleG:
It was fine, the test is okay. Yeah, only uniMelb.

@PurpleG
Happy new year, may the year be a prosperous and successful one.

Hope you don't mind my asking, were you successful with your application to Unimelb?

Michaelchang:
Thank You for your sincere contribution

please help me answer the following:

- Will a graduate degree be cheaper?
- What Post Graduate degrees are available?
- Can I get a PR during the program?
- How much will it cost?
- What is the required GP for any post graduate degree?


Thanks and God Bless!

Like I said earlier Australian education is expensive and rightly so, about a graduate degree being cheaper, I think so and this is because you spend a shorter time (depending on the program between 1.5-3 years, but the average is 2 years in most schools), the truth is, it is all relative and depends on your peculiar situation and choice of study.

It depends on what you're interested in studying, this is what I think you should do, there is a skilled migration program that is ongoing in Australia check the list of occupations and see which closely relates to what you have studied in your undergraduate (check the list here https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/SOL) and choose a masters program from the list, this will help cover the aspects of advanced degree and PR. Also I would advice you to go through this thread from the first page (https://www.nairaland.com/3053069/general-guide-australian-permanent-resident) it will give you a good idea of what you are up against and will help prepare you.

When you have selected a program, do some research on the schools that offer the course of your choice, (use google) on their website you will find the entry requirements and cost of fees, you can compare the different schools and finally pick one, also you should read this thread from the first page so you can familiarise yourself with the study/admission process.

When you have done all these, if you have any further questions maybe regarding visa or anything feel free to ask on here and I'm sure you'll get answers.

Agents aren't promoted on this forum, you gotta DIY. I'm sure by the time you've gone through both threads and done some research yourself it'll be a lot easier you'll have a good idea of what to do.

Best of luck.

Michaelchang:
Hello house,

I came across this forum from Google and had to register. I love the work you guys have been doing here, I truly believe I will get answers to all my questions here through your sincere advise.

please I want to travel to Australia with the intention of studying and working and residing there with time. truth is, I don't know where to even start from, how to go about it, how much it will cost in an average Total. I just graduated with Bsc Statistics Although haven't served but planning to travel as soon as I take my call up later and statement of result if given the visa. my intention is to get a fresh Bsc in pharmacy and work with my certificate over there.

Pls I ask for your sincere guide through my quest as I have seen you guys do for many people.


Thanks and God Bless!

When you say work, do you mean work with your statistics degree?
What is your age?
If you want to go back and study for another degree, you must have a good reason why you want to do that, it is very important you'll need to convince the VO why you want to go back and study for a degree that is not related to what you studied previously.

Australian education is one the best in the world and it is expensive. Are you prepared to pay for your education? I won't advice you to go to Australia with the intention of working to pay off your fees.

Have you considered going for a graduate degree?

I am not trying to discourage you, just letting you know what is involved and to try to help you make the best decision.
If you have anymore questions please ask, I can't answer all but other experienced gurus in the house will help you out.
