@ayettymama: where are you? if you're coming to cyprus (North CYprus) you will definitely pass through istanbul. with your transit visa, you can get clothes at instanbul there. else in cyprus, you can get clothes too, but just not as cheap.

as for fashion, i know someone who knows someone. but i dont know if they recuruite people from outside into cyprus sha. there are models here sha, from africa (n9ja, ghana, kenya, etc.). i dont know about modeling sha, but dem dey.

well well well, lol. yea, wip2 is right. its always better for new students to spend at least 1semester in the dorms first. and the food stuffs will really help cos here, there's no garri or red oil. there's rice, beans and semolina and stuffs like that. but things like plantain, yam, no dey for cyprus. things you should bring: garri, dry fish, blended melon, ogbono, blended dry pepper.

these are the things we have here, so you can save little by NOT buying them:
salt, maggi, spices like curry, thime, giner, etc. dont buy rice or beans, salt, sugar or milk. but the milk here is liquid milk, so you should get some powedered milk. dont buy beverages, enough beverages and tea dey here.

as for clothes, the different is not much. its sometimes the same costs as there are usually discounts, like jeans for 2500naira and stuffs. but better still, buy your clothes in nigeria.

other things you might want to buy include:
tooth paste, bathroom slippers, toothbrosh, etc. these are little things that cost way cheaper in nigera.

if i remember anything else, i'd add.

well, you also have the option for changing schools oh. i did 1semester in EMU before coming to lefke oh. EMU school fees na die that time oh ($2600 per SEMESTER ) dem no tell me before i run come lefke, lol.

if you reach here sha, maybe you should give lefke a shot. take a look and then maybe you can decide if to change or not. cos tuition here is like $3500 per session and accommodation, like where i am now is $2000 for 2ppl, so that means i person pays just $1000 for 12months. other places could be up to $3000/$3500 per year (that is, $1500 to $1750 per head).

@iz2much: average accommodation in lefkosa is like £350GBP a month. but some landlords will ask for 6 to 12 months rent at once.

i dont know where this thread has gone now, but may i add this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-24054.0.html

@wip2: hayir, 3yıl önce gağuza'dan çiktim, şimdi lefke da oturuyorum. ama bu sene okulum bittiyorum. siz nerde kaliyorsunun?

@wip2

i wish onlarin bircogu bu anlar seni iste talih adami

ne dedin orda, ben anlamadim  ne demek isterdin?

don't mind them. i actually have a few friends who say "no work", "iş yok" and dem go sit down for house oh, dem no go go find work, lol. na wa for some people sha. me, i've gone in search of work, though reluctantly sha. my first job search on the island was futile (over 3yrs ago) not knowing that God was planning something for us, lol. na the people wen come evict us from dorm nai give us job oh, lol. ironic, right? i worked with EMU, was practically a civil servant that summer (2006): worked 9 to 5 with regular 1hr lunch break, didn't work on weekends or public holidays and was earning quite little, but quite ok given the time i was working. but that's that. work they for serious people. places dey to flex. people dey to flex you sef. cyprus dey,  i do recommend it for friends.

i hope i'm not talking too much  

@Europe 76: make una no spoil Cyprus for me oh!!!

you know the really funny thing about this cyprus issue 100% of those people talking trash about this island, when you ask them to leave and return to their country, dem no go go!?!?! isn't that ironic island no good, island no good, ok, GO HOME na, dem say NO! how do you explain that

i love photography, and i have tons and tons of photos. every month (not intentionally) we look through old photos and we see how much weight people have put on on this island. people come here skiny and gain weight. seriously, when some people came to North Cyprus first, they were like sick people compared to what they look like NOW. let someone say again that Cyprus is crap!

if the place is as bad, then why are people coming here to find work or coming here to pass out to other places doesn't that show how "good" this place is (contrary to the crap people say) ??

yes, job is hard to find in north cyprus, but when you get it, u fit compare am to wetin people dey pay for 9ja a friend of mine washes plates at a resturant here, she makes 1,600 turkish lira a month. at the current exchange rate from www.xe.com, 1,600TL = 157,000 naira I BEG TELL ME HOW MANY PLACES IN NIGERIA YOU WILL WASH PLATES AND MAKE 160K A MONTH?

and yea, things are expensive here, it's an island, and is not even a real country politically, what do you expect that things will be cheap here? and when they say its expensive, NOT everything is expensive here at all. i spend about 100TL a month on feeding, that;s roughly 10k naira. 1kg of rice is 300naira here, 1kg of gizzard is 300 naira, beef 1,200 naira, sugar 80naira, 1liter milk 160, what's the difference the difference is not so much. as for electronics sha, dont think it, cyprus is expensive, but just relatively. depending on what you're buying, prices may vary from 500naira to 10,000 naira.

this is another country, currency is different, money is different, you cant base costs of things here with the same eye as your country's currency, a big mistake people make when they come here. taxi in north cyprus is 5lira (typical price) which is 500naira. i was in nigeria last month, taxi in abuja is 200 naira, taxi in lagos i 1500. ALL TAXIS IN NORTH CYPRUS ARE BENZ, and i dont mean regular, i mean real benz, like C CLASS. i've even seen crysler eagle TAXI in kyrenia!!! a typical plate of food is from 500 to 2,000 naira, what's the difference? and i mean tooshed up restaurants and cafes.

yea, north cyprus is not your typical europe, but still its a place i've loved for 4yrs and i dont see what's not to like about cyprus. no jobs like that, mainly cos of the resident permit issue. its a small country, they're managing their resources. almost everything here comes from turkey. everything here is controlled, so to speak. life is simple and easy. there's little or no crime, the place is safe, its quiet, its calm and relaxing, i dont know what else people want for a place like this oh!

if you dont like it, simple go away, rather than spoil the people for those who might actually have a future here. as for me, cyprus is home for me now

no seriously, North Cyprus really is a nice place. the best parts of my adult life has been the 4yrs i've spent in North Cyprus. The place is calm, quiet, safe, fun, with friendly and nice people, lot's of fun things to do and placed to visit.

people complain about raicisim, but the truth is, we are all racists in one way or another, no matter how little. me, i like a simple life and i dont bother myself with who is racist of not, or waste my time looking for a racist explanation to everything that happens. i've been here 4yrs and i cant really say i've had any "racist" experience. and of course, i'm a foreigner here, there's no way they will treat me like their own, i can have the same rights as they do, unlike some of us here trying to argue equal rights in ANOTHER MAN'S country, as how na

if you stay in the more developed areas like Kyrenia or Famagusta or even Nicosia, you'd see the good side of cyprus. life is sweet there. night life is great, lots of tourists from everywhere, especially british people.

what's not to love about Cyprus
