Romance / Re: My Boyfriend Broke Up With Me Because I Got A High Paying Job by Juwohn: 10:05am On Jun 03, 2022 |
He is not being reasonable. You got a job with an almost similar pay meaning both of you can pull twice his salary together as a family. But him with his ego believes that you don't need a job -- taking care of you or whatever that means. It's not a crime to be a woman, you are just dating the wrong guy. Runaway from him, even if he changes his mind later things will get worse in the future when you get promoted --by then you would be pressured to do things (resigning) to save your marriage. julie90: |

As someone who has invited several friends and families with no rejections, I can tell you that none of that matters. It all boils down to your cover letter and that of the person inviting you. If it’s just very empty - I mean no substantial family/friendship link or how they can guarantee your sustenance and departure from the country - it will most probably be a rejection. Also, if your letter doesn’t corroborate theirs, it will probably be a rejection. If these letters are strong enough and well written, the other things can be overlooked - I say this from two recent similar experiences as yourself. The hotel reservation was cancelled, and it was way past the scheduled travelled date before the visas were granted. All the best. AGMAMA: |

Remember to remove all flight tags from your bag. The risk of harm is lower when no one knows your origin compared to when they know you are coming from a very developed country. Without a tag, you may have as well arrived from Benin or Ghana. oldienavie: 11 Likes |

Second is more realistic. Some jobs require you to include your previous employer as a referee and they could verify this information during a call if they decide to have one. This is a bit quite easy for me. You tell the truth but wrapped in a well garnished unverifiable lies. |

It is unlikely that there will be physical classes next year or at least in the first half. If you're not planning to work [STEM] while in ZA and will be studying MSc (Research) or PhD at WITs, you can register out-of-seat and save medical aid cost. https:// www.wits.ac.za/ internationalstudents/ international-clearance-to-register/ adespecial:

Politics / Re: FG, US In Closed Door Meeting Over Visa Ban Issue by Juwohn: 4:29pm On Sep 16, 2020 |
This meeting has very less to do with the elections. If you check one of the links, there was a meeting - more like a review of scenario under which the ban can be lifted. That is why there is so much emphasis on the national identity number and linking the database to several others so that criminals can be easily be tracked. Tolu Ogunlesi tweeted something about this some weeks ago that Nigeria has created a national identity database with information about stolen and lost passports etc. lexy2014: 1 Like |

It's like you guys have forgotten that Trump's administration imposed an immigrant visas (paths to PR and Citizenship) ban on Nigeria and other a few other countries early in the year.

NYSC / Re: Your NYSC Questions Answered by Juwohn: 10:15pm On Sep 15, 2020 |
Hello everyone, I need your help here. A friend of mine has just been posted to her PPA. A photo of the assigned accommodation is attached. The house literally has no window. I mean, the space is there but no net and no cover and the flat is on the road. The room can easily be accessed by anyone via this window. I feel like this is totally not safe for anyone most especially a lady considering all the social vices in this era. I'd like to seek your opinion regarding this. Would it be justified if she returns home until she's provided with a safer accommodation or until she is able to find one? Would no appearance at PPA under this circumstance be punishable? This house is not habitable in my opinion and the host is unyielding - they don't want to do anything.

Femiolunloyo: See ehn, at some point we have to be very honest with ourselves and put sentiments aside. South Africans are not echoing anybody's voice, they can see. I have met Nigerians who are doing really wel. But I have also met a few "other" ones. In JHB there's a dedicated spot when stolen items are handled. It's full of Nigerians. But does that mean that Nigerians are criminals? Nope. Reading some posts here is even enough for any one to judge Nigerians and I think Geenosko is doing a great job trying to enlighten people but my point is let's not be quick to label your host country as a failed state. You can't paint my home in a bad manner and expecting me to warmly embrace you. You mentioned that their people echo it but is it their people alone? Every single country in this world is skeptical about Nigerians. Is that also for political gains? In addition to visa application fees, US imposed an additional 100USD on Nigerian applicants to cushion the security risks that some Nigerians cause the US. 3 Likes |

Geenosko: I get your point, but these can be any country and I feel like it doesn't mean that the policies are not immigrant friendly. Policies are changing almost every year based on the need. Beyond STEM, I have a friend in Accounting who got his PR even before the end of his masters. I don't know about now but according to the DHA website, if you have been married to a PR holder and living in ZA for five years you qualify for a PR. You can be working for a company here on a work visa which you can renew at intervals and even after ten years on such visas, the immigration law doesn't give you any pathway to permanent residency, compare this with countries that are more welcoming Do you mean years spent working does not count towards a PR? I don't think so. If you have had a work permit and been working for five years, you qualify for a PR. If you have a permanent job offer, you qualify for a PR.
The home affairs regulation states that PhD holders from South African universities are entitled to the critical visa and subsequently a PR.
This is true and I get your point in trying to clarify to those attempting to seek greener pastures in SA. I'm just trying to call your attention to not labelling SA as a failed country even when ours is not doing better. Every country has a responsibility of taking care of her own and that's exactly what SA is doing. If there are enough jobs in NG, we would not be going everywhere. It's getting tougher and tougher for Nigerians to get any visa not only SA and it doesn't mean that this countries are immigrant friendly. Except maybe if you have a different explanation for "friendly"
The entitled - that's exactly what I was thinking. "The entitled" are everywhere but how do we even define entitled. Someone demanding for their right to a suitable working environment? Some companies would rather employ a yes-Sir foreigner not because the foreigner is doing any better but because they can push beyond limits. Some Profs would rather accept a foreigner because they can forcefully push him/her to do things against his/her mental health, some SA would never do that and it doesn't mean they are lazy. Some prioritize family, others prioritize health. I have heard someone called South Africans lazy because he would call them late in the night for office issues - is that being lazy? I have met a number of South Africans who are doing very well in their job and I've met some who are just there. But that's just the same everywhere - even in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Geenosko: The bolded - I do not understand what you mean by unwelcoming. There are several Nigerians who have become permanent residents in less than two years. It is a known fact that if you in STEM the likelihood of critical skills and subsequently, PR is higher. It's only difficult if the application is not in compliance with the home affairs policy - and I don't think that is easy anywhere else. I do not know about other disciplines, but I envy the folks in computer science. With an honour/masters degree most of the ones I know (of course with very strong grades) are already sorted. And to even think that until this year, getting a visa to visit Nigeria is a nightmare for many Africans in many African countries. The italicized - I just find it amazing that we label South Africans as not being hardworking and likely to cripple a business, but we [Nigerians] don't want to be labelled as drug lords.

Always speak to someone. Your mum or your dad. He's intentionally telling you there's nothing your parents can do to see if there's indeed anything you can do. Don't wait until things get worse and there's an irreversible damage. You will wish you had spoken to someone. They'll blame you too. Speak. Ebus12: |

Nonkala: WordFamous: I think you should reapply and make a reference to their speculation if you're very convinced that you have never been deported before. "You had previously applied but was refused a visa because the consulate suspects that you have been deported before. However, you'd like to mention that in your travel experience you have visited x countries but have never overstayed your visa and never been deported from any country. You believe that the suspicion may have been an error and you look forward to their kind reconsideration of your application." SA claims to treat every application as new but I don't think this is entirely the case. 1 Like |

Travel / Nigerians Account For Less Than 2% Of The Immigrant Population In South Africa. by Juwohn: 1:49pm On Sep 10, 2019 |
According to a recent analysis from the South African community survey which was conducted in 2016, Nigerians account for less than 2% of the total immigrant population in South Africa. This is in contrast to immigrants from Zimbabwe who account for about 40% of the entire immigrant population. According to this analysis, citizens of countries in the Southern African region account for more than 75% of the total immigrant population. This analysis is one of the latest in view of the recent attacks on migrants in South Africa. In addition to statistics for international migration, the analysis also examines internal migration flows within South Africa across the nine provinces. Details of the analysis is available here: https://twitter.com/eolamijuwon/status/1171385100954677255

Yupng: I have been living in SA for close to 5years now. I have NEVER experienced the extreme hate that you mentioned. I have had a very good relationship with all my landlords (except one) and neighbours. I wonder where you stayed when you're here and what exactly you did that warrant that hate you mentioned. Yupng: 80% of Nigerians are not poor. 80% of undocumented Nigerian immigrants may be poor anyways. Tbh, and I think I have mentioned here once, I am very reluctant staying in a neighborhood where Nigerians are alot too. We don't trust ourselves yoo so why would SAfricans trust us. I have seen pple come to this country with visit visa and then on arrival requesting for asylum - boko haram and other lies. It's just very sad the desperation. Yupng: Those who are here based on illegal businesses already have that in mind before coming. How do explain someone with a visit visa for 2weeks with a large box. The number of Nigerians that have been killed in Nigeria by Nigerians is far more than those who have been killed in SA. Our different ethnic groups can't even live together peacefully but we want other people to be peaceful with us. Killing is bad but we must be truthful with ourselves. If our country is good we won't be here. And that our country is bad doesn't mean we should cast our burdens on SA. And it's not only SA, the whole of Africa doesn't want us. I know an African country that would never let a NIGERIAN VISIT their country. No tourism, no visit except for business and by a reputable organization. It's sad but last last we'll be alright 9 Likes 1 Share |
