₦airaland Forum

Good morning all,
Thought this will help.....
Having issues with making int'l calls from here cos of the expense?
I got a trick from pal in the U.S:
You can download an app on your fone called MOBILE VOIP. ...you sign up and will be told to buy airtime worth €10.00.The charges are terribly low:1 cent/min to call naija(€0.01/min)
I don call tire. ..and the €10 never finish.Would have shared it since but wanted to try it first to be sure there Arent hidden charges....my friend used for a year..
there arent!
Gimme feedback please if you have any challenge!

GbemiBukk: Someone working in one of the Lagos states Agencies introduced it to me and because ℓ̊ felt a Lagos state worker won't do that, tried to give it a trial. ℓ̊ already gave him 50k to start the processing for me. Till yestday wen he told me about affidavits and notary public signature. Costing 35K. So ma sis told me peeps @ Nairaland forum could help made me speak up. Before ℓ̊ get duped.

Father in Heaven!..sis.....abeg stop there ooooo....just come in through school. ....there's a red flag!

ChriGo: .... Sexymama or sexymma1....pls are u a female ....u can use ur statement of result...tonnes of guys don use am and dem chop TRV.....ur waec burn ke....hope say no be ya 5year old brother or sister light am up?...pls try as much as possible to go to waec and get anoda 1 printed at jibowu branch or ogba branch....it wont cost u much...i knw u'r a billionare....lol....if ur sponsor has money ranging from 5m and above its perfect...but if they have 2.5m and below den u go gas attach am with Gods unlimited account(prayers) cuz cdhc might want to frown at dat 2.5m buh wen they see Gods account dem go fear.....CAC(cooperate affairs comission) its a company docx u submit with ur visa app to prove ur sponsor own the company but howerver if ur sponsor is employed in anoda company then he has to provide sum oda docx......hope this helps......

He can even buy the Waec scratch card and print out his result online....that was what I used

ChriGo: ....Oga kjbobo am not saying there are no other good jobs oo...but am just trying to be real here....he can work 5 jobs with cleaning job inclusive ....just that its kinda difficult to get a job dat matches one's field judging from wat i have read frm other canada thread and offcourse live info from those already in canada.......but only trying to tell him to start small ni oo....at least those that started small yesterday are earning big today....dats d message my boss....hope canny's whether is favouring u sir?.....

Yep....its sunny here sef. ...I got you correctly. ..I just always try to be sensitive. ..cos that "cleaning" might desensitize someone reading back home ......u catch now?...
I am currently staying with a guy who did cleaning all through in my school before graduating this year ..and won the best student....he was celebrated on school's website(a Nigerian) some months back(so you are right too sir)

sexymma1: @chigro, I have sent my documents via courier to fleming college for January intakes, I mailed the addmission officer and she confirmed she got my documents.
Abeg I want to ask what kind of jobs someone can get over there while working and how much is it. Is it true, coz I heard you can't work outside school till 6 months after getting clearance. How can someone survive on ЪŦ and is it a must to work 20hrs a week, wat if one wants to do overtime.

You will get jobs plenty on campus....Cant say for other provinces though...but for Alberta here...the thing yapa....thats the difference between here and Nigeria...if you are hardworking. ..u reap the rewards. ..@chrigo...there are plenty stuffs other than cleaning to do ooo....I met a young Nigerian working for a telecommunications company as an assistant(like those umbrella guys in naija).
We got talking and he shared his monthly pay with me...he earns far more than my sis in Gtbank(with suit and A.c
So by and large...just psyche yourself up when coming that there is "dignity" in anything you lay your hands to do"...the 6 months stuff is outside campus!
And as for the article Chrigo read....they worked outside campus before the embargo elapsed!

PlayPays: Urgent mail in ur box

So sorry. ...had plenty of assignments. ...so I was off internet.
Like Oga Siga will say....checking mode activated. ....

PlayPays: Yes Egbon mi we're done, thanks to u!
Be expecting my mail...

Congrats. ...We bless God

GboyegaD: @Kjbobo,
God is ever faithful and I can assure you that what you have witnessed is just a tip in the iceberg. He sure is going to do much more greater things for you.

Amen bro......Thank you sir!

tebenezer: Thank you very mch....I was on my way when i decided to have a chat with em(vfs)and the lady i chatted with said tha it cannot be possible until i hear from them....

I will agree with the vfs official that you should chill to you hear from them first. .....Fall admission getting so close was why people had to be that proactive. ...seriously,I feel if your application is strong enough they will still attend to it..."you letter of deferment"isnt

.one of the things to strengthen your application. Plus the letter should later on serve as a "monitoring tool" to know at what stage your application is......If you go dump that join now ....its not wise....they will get back to you(w'r still expecting a Nigerian with full funding in my
Class too and a lady from Bangladesh).....just stay
positive and hope for the best!
you can still do your enquiry mail and state it there though....that due to delay school is willing to
extend....or plainly make enquiry on your application. ...write a "compassionate" mail

ifegy: Just a few points re Nuendo's last post- was a bit concerned about the reference to high medical costs. I just want to point out that as a foreign student you are still entitled to health insurance to cover medical and dental expenses, through your school. If you're not aware, please contact your school's international students' office, and make sure you get all the benefits you're entitled to.
And for the reference to religious practice, yeah, Canadians are nowhere near as 'expressive' as people back home about religion but there are tons of vibrant faith communities, including those specifically targetted at young adults (college/university), and Nigerian churches as well, if that's what you want. Look around, ask and you'll find something for sure. Oh, and if you do plan to do any kind of public speaking with a microphone in the city, you will need a permit, whether or not it's religious.

@health insurance
I agree with you. .that's what obtains here too....

Really wanted to gloss over this but I feel I should share this Faithfulness of God....with the sole aim of lifting someone spirit's back home!
I have a Nigerian prof in my Faculty who I called back home that I had gotten my TRV....and he congratulated me and asked me how I was going to move....I never knew God had prepared a miracle for me.....late into the night...He bought my bus ticket(a 3-hr trip) from Calgary to Lethbridge, paid for it and also sent the ticket to me...we spoke on Phone and he said I aint staying in the Hotel that he had spoken to his wife.....I was going to stay with him....till I get a place.....interestingly.....my supervisor(white woman)....heard about the arrangement and said it was going to keep me at the airport too long(5hrs)...booked a red arrow for me....infact they were technically fighting over who to come pick me(I had to do division of Labor....my supervisor paying for my ticket and d nigerian prof(my lecturer too) picking me at station so as not to offend anyone(remember I have never met these guys before.....purely God's favor).I spent 5 days in his house and he was dropping me in school and taking
back home with the wife feeding me all through . Not to forget to mention when I was leaving Nigeria.i needed cash to make up what I needed to travel with.....and I tried sourcing but to no avail....my company ought to pay me normally but cos I left abruptly....I was expecting HR backlash(cos I was the best in my team.....and my figures were doing a lot of help).Plus it takes about a month normally to get your pay out benefits(multinational paperwork)but I got to the office and I was suprised the HR was willing to help me(repeatedly saying....."you are good guy that needs to be helped"...I knew it was God....cos I wasnt really close to her(i was outside lag).
By and large, I got my cheque less than 24 hours....and the pay was like 3 times what I was expecting....God dazed me........!
I am yet to spend a dime in school...even bus pass na free!
Got to faculty and was told my from September is over a $1000 for the next two years.....!
I am sharing this for us to know that God is still very much at work for those who trust him(like Oga Chrigo will say :He aint sleeping)!
Just let God see that He will take all the glory when it happens.....
My principle....If there's no space for God to do Show off......he wont show up!
Prov 3v3......trust in the Lord with all of your heart. ....dont try to figure things out on your own.......
sorry for the typos.....
I just hope someone's faith in God has been lifted!
Much love!










me back home all through....with the wife feeding me all through....infact I had to quickly get a place and moved out cos the care was too much(I had to apologize to them I was leaving).

I am yet to spend a dime in school....even bus ticket na free....Got to school and found out my GTA is gonna be over a $1000.
Not to forget to mention when I was leaving...I needed extra cash....but couldn't get...I had entitlement with my company...but it normally takes two months to get paid...plus I was leaving abruptly(less than a month's notice) so I was expecting a backlash from HR( cos I was the best in my team before resigning)

topsyking: [b][/b]I NEED URGENT ADVISE FROM GURUS IN THE HOUSE FOR A FRIEND.... MY FRIEND WANT TO APPLY FOR CANADA STUDENT VISA BUT HE HAD TWO UK VISITOR REFUSAL STAMP ON HIS PASSPORT..CAN HE APPLY WITH SAME PASSPORT TO CANADIAN EMBASSY OR SHOULD HE WIPE IT OFF... PLS KINDLY REPLY AND IF ANYBODY HAVE SIMILAR CASE AND WAS GRANTED A VISA OR DENIED because OF THE REFUSAL STAMP.. THANKS

The two are mutually exclusive bro...and if you take your time to go through this thread....you go see am tire for examples...lol!
Just this Fall...we had someone denied Canadian student visa 3 times get it on fourth attempt!
So bro.....tell your friend to simply follow the rules.....and the results are guaranteed!
Wipe off bawo?....interesting

Pastor Kun: Why are you always quick to defend anything wrong going on in the church No true christian would cover up wrong doing. What is wrong is wrong and should be condemned no matter whoose ox is gored.

So its in the midst of "unbelievers" you make such rebuke?
Pastor...are you studying your scriptures at all?
When the body of Christ makes a giant stride...its no news...but any negative story makes front page...better be careful not to "die" like a mere man with your "idle" words!

dommakavelli: lol...bro, na one way o

Mine too was one way now...

dommakavelli: when r u jetting out bro. I jes got my ticket (EGYPTAIR) 185k

oraclefemi: hI guys i am heading to the embassy now , i used an agent but i dont think theyre proactive enough, please would i be attended to since i am not the one who submitted? i have the uci and application number and even if i am called in , would i be given the trv since i used a agent? driving now and would be checking for replies ...thanks

I believe you should be able to.Just fill the form and bone as if nothing dey! The only thing is you might not be given without the slip!
I agree with you on agents not being proactive enough.
When I went there two weeks ago.I met an agent who happens to be working in a Friend's agency. ..she had come like 12pm and waited for like 3hrs....While I got there like an hour after her.
When it was close to 4pm...she came to me that she was leaving. ..that she was tired...not more than 5mins after she left. ..she was called. ...but sadly I didn't have her number. ..so I called my friend that had her number. ..you won't believe she didn't come back...and she had come to make enquiries for those that had resumed. ..waiting forTRV...and I pondered. ..If na she get the TRV...she go tire?
So any house member wey leave him fate for agent hand....with the level of info available on this platform is on his own!
