Yeah the experience is different for people but I wouldn’t say it’s a hype some people get hospitalized so it’s definitely not about the vaccine and immune systems vary.

Originalsly:
Contracted it early in February when it was said to be in China... Italy and Spain. Immune system was down at the time. It hit me real hard... not sure if I lost taste nor smell... had a serious dryyyyy cough.... thought was bronchitis... had that before... but this was bone dry and persistant... spitting nothing. Had shortness of breath... serious... be panting like dog after walking short distances. Went to doctor all coughing... planned going back to find out if he is still alive since he had no clue about COVID-19 back then. I rode it out barely... was dead serious for like a week... then the coughing took like another 3 weeks to finally go away. A few of my colleagues had it like you guys.... mild stuff for a few days. In all... it is not what they making it out to be... too much hype... all for the vaccine.

nice one

Hey guys, I have decided to share my Covid19 experience for those who think that the pandemic is not real or it doesn’t affect Africans due to “strong” immune system. Please, it is very real.

It all started like a joke because I didn’t know I had Covid19 until it was confirmed after a test by the Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland. One of my housemates was sick and I thought it was a regular sickness not knowing it was the “dreaded” Covid19. During that period of her sickness, I was helping to take care of her because I didn’t expect it was Covid19. I was just rendering help to a friend. My friend later put a call to a GP (general practitioner) after she started noticing the symptoms. The GP told her to contact the HSE and she was asked to come for a test in Limerick city where we reside.

The result of her test came out two days after she went for it. She was asked to produce the contacts of those that she associated closely with in the past few days. All of us (the housemates) were asked to come for tests and that was when we found out we had Covid19. Mind you, all my housemates are Nigerians. Some of the Covid19 symptoms I had were migraine/strong headache, loss of smell, nose sensitivity, sneezing, dry throat, body pains. These were the major systems I had during that period which was in October.

Presently, I am definitely feeling good and no longer have Covid19 or any symptoms. I am way way better and even stronger than before because I really worked on myself. I took ginger, lemon and honey as a tea in order to boost my immune system to fight the sickness. I also drank lots of water and rested properly at home during that period as well. I also did steam inhalation with peppermint oil and hot water. My housemates were taking concoction which comprised of ginger, garlic, turmeric, honey, in a bid to boost their immune systems. My housemates and I are way better and feeling good. We have fully recovered since November.

Try to be safe by sanitizing your hands, keeping social distance, wearing face masks, taking multivitamins whether local or foreign to boost your immune system, and rest properly.

Hello Everyone,

In my recent YouTube video i made mention of certain things i think international students who will be studying in ireland should know when they arrive regarding settling into the country and what you need to know. These are some of the things i learnt while settling into Ireland and you do not have to do exactly what i did but most of them are very important.

You can watch my YouTube video here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxP1JugZomQ

for a more in-depth explanation or you can read the short version below.

Let’s jump into this no long talk

So i talked about it in five different sections

Section 1
Sim Card/Internet

If you prefer data bundles over international calls then you should get 3 mobile but if you prefer international calls over data bundles then you should get Lycamobile. There are other service providers but i am more familiar with these two.


Section 2
Accommodation

The requirements for getting a house or an apartment varies depending on the location, the amenities as well as the type of house that you are getting. But some of the documents that i submitted for my house are copy of passport document, letter of reference from someone who resides in Ireland, proof of financial capability etc.


Section 3
Immigration

Get all your documents ready for your immigration appointment. You are required to pay a fee of €300 at your immigration appointment and only bank card is accepted.


Section 4
Bank

Before you can open a bank account you need to have a valid address, a letter from your school and other documents and it takes 3-7 business days excluding bank holidays before your account is active. Your ATM card takes roughly two weeks and the bank will send that to you.


Section 5
Work

To get paid when you start working you will need your PPS number and to get your PPS number you must have been employed because you will need to go with your employment letter for your PPS application. There is another way to get your PPS number if you are yet to find a job but you will have to watch the video for a more in-depth explanation because i share more secrets there.

It is interesting

WoundedLamb:


Ok... I see. We only tap cards. About the accent, I actually find the Irish accent interesting.

You are welcome.. glad you found it helpful

chyket:
Thank you very much for this,it's been so helpful to me,my second daughter schools in that city and this has given me a basic idea of what is obtainable there .I will plan and appreciate somethings better going forward.

depends on your course of study, the school you choose and the location

Larry1960:



What's the cost to get to Ireland via madters

Hello, I don't know what the buttons do but I know after pressing it he tells me to take my card. We place our cards and they charge your card for the trip we do not tap. The Irish accent is nice but I am not even bothered by it

WoundedLamb:
Nice!

What buttons was the driver pressing? You guys don't just tap your bus pass on the reader? I actually heard people queue for busses in the UK. Guess it has to do with the population. The African market is rich, that's super great. How are you enjoying the Irish accent?

Thanks for sharing.

They are very good stores or malls to get food depending on what you want. There is Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and others. There are Asian stores and Nigerian shops where food items can be bought at relative cheap prices. You can buy Egusi, Okra, fish, meat, Shaki, Kpomo, cow leg, goat meat, Indomie noodles, yam, plantain and other stuff. They are not expensive.

I also shared a glimpse of some stuff I bought from the African store.

Watch the YouTube video so that you can see more details.

I entered the bus my paying with my leap card. A Leap Card is a reusable plastic smart card that can be used instead of paying with cash or paper tickets on the bus. There are Adult, Child and Student Leap Cards available as your case may be.

There are many places to buy quality clothes such as Jack and Jones, JD, Gerard, Guineys, Penneys and others. For students and average income earners, the best place to get good and affordable clothes, jackets, footwear, bedsheets among other things is Penneys. Their items are relatively cheap. You can watch a full tour of the stores in my video below.

Hello guys. My post today is about Limerick city in Ireland where I currently reside. For those that want to come to Ireland or want to know how some basic things abroad work, you will definitely learn a lot. In my YouTube video below, I explained how the transportation system works in Ireland, how to get good and affordable clothes, how to get food stuff especially African and Nigerian stuff from supermarkets, among other things.

Limerick, which is a very cool and quiet city is Ireland's third or fourth (arguably) urban centre with strong economy after Dublin, Cork and Galway (arguably). It is an ancient city on the banks of the mighty River Shannon, with a population of about 100,000.

I started my vlog my showing pictures of the area where I live in Castletroy before taking a public transport to the City Center where most shops including Nigerian stores are located.

Some people have that misconception that it is very difficult for a Nigerian lady to get a man abroad, be it a white or black man. It actually isn’t difficult it just depends on the lady, her attitude, appearance and the situation.

Before you say I am speaking plenty English let me explain what I mean based on my experiences in Ireland where I currently reside.

1. Before you start complaining that no one is walking up to you, ask yourself this “do I look approachable”. The truth is a guy would walk up to you if you look approachable, because you cannot be frowning or doing resting bitch face and expect someone to walk up to you. Some people are not okay with rejection o and don’t get me wrong some people also fancy frowning o but to each their own. My advice is access yourself and the situation before complaining

2. If you are more of an introvert I can understand how this might be difficult for you but the truth is the best place to meet people is outside your bedroom because you get to see them physically and connect on a different level, you can also meet people online but c’mon some of us are skeptical right but if meeting people online will work or works for you, then kudos.

3. Another thing is you have to be true to yourself in the sense that you need to ask yourself “what do I want” because you cannot be looking for entanglement and then expect someone’s son or daughter that is looking for marriage to be entangling with you. Often times when looking for something you need to ask yourself if that is what you want. And if someone walks up to you looking for more than you are looking for, then just tell them.

4. Lastly, try not to be biased towards dating apps because in as much as they might look useless and everyone just wants sex, there are people who don’t just want sex, so try it out and if it doesn’t work for you then you know it’s not for you but if it works for you then it does.

To round off my points I would just say be approachable or look approachable, dress nicely and try not to be rude to people… Also some people who are complaining that they cannot find men are chasing the men away with the way they talk or the way they relate with people. And on that note I would like to also say that Nigerian ladies or women abroad do get approached. BTW, Nigerian girls are balling over here in Ireland.

University of limerick. ul.ie this is the official website

UyaiIncomparabl:


Good day, Lifeofgabbyz. Can I know the name of your school and its website? Thanks.

Hello, my school is in limerick ireland. The tuition fee depends on your course of study. My budget was vast because i had more than one school in mind. Yes they grant scholarships and this information can be found on the schools website or any school of your choice website.

UyaiIncomparabl:


Hi. Where is your school? How much is the tuition fees for an undergraduate? What was your budget like? Do they grant scholarships?

By the way, you have fresh, thick and yummy thighs.

No. I stay in Limerick City.

sakanifemi123:
nice write up, it is Dublin you stay

Thank you.

Petyprincess:
Very insightful! I'm glad you also did a narrative write-up instead of just uploading video.

8. Food: keep an open mind when it comes to the food and if you are a lover of Nigerian food be sure to bring some food stuff with you because buying it here is expensive and you can bring some things that will last you a while before you have to restock. There are African stores and Asian stores and they basically sell anything African from garri to okra, ogbono and egusi even dry fish. But keep an open mind because there are days where you will have to eat chips and chicken and there are days where you eat fufu and ogbono.

9. Jobs: menial jobs are the easiest types of jobs to get here. If for instance you have the mindset that you cannot work as a cleaner or a retail assistant, then I do not know what to say asides bring enough money. The menial jobs are easy to get and they pay good, so pay no mind to what anyone would think or say if it puts food on your table, clothes on your back and pays the bill.

10. Open mindedness: lastly it is important to be open minded because you are going to a country that is probably unknown to you or known to you but either way you want to keep an open mind about everything and you also want to realize that the systems and rules here will be different form the country in which you left.

So, guys, that is all the 10 tips I wanted to share with you guys. Again, if you would like to watch an in-depth video you can check it out on my YouTube channel, I will give a link below.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed it and I also hope that these tips I have shared will be helpful to you or to someone that you know.

5. Weather change/clothing: The weather over here hits different and when I say different, I mean the weather is cold and it ranges from -0 to 28 degrees depending on the time of the year. In a country where there is a lot of cold you will need thermal clothes as opposed to chiffon clothes. So, if you are thinking about packing your nice chiffon top or if you have packed it. Take it out of your box and try to find clothes that are thick and if per chance you don’t own any you can budget some amount of money so that when you get to your destination country you can get clothes from the stores over there.

6. Culture change: the Irish culture is way different than the Nigerian culture. In a typical Nigerian culture people are taught to kneel when greeting elders but over here no one kneels, you just say hello to whoever you want to greet and don’t get me wrong guys saying hello doesn’t mean you don’t respect the person it just means that the culture here is not the same as that in the country you are coming from. And also when you enter the bus the driver says hi to you and you say hi to them back and when getting off the bus you simply say thank you or thanks a million because that is what the people over here do.

7. Transportation system: the transportation system here in Ireland is different and it also differs per county. For the county that I live in, we have buses and taxis (inter/intra city) and we also have trains (intra city), the buses and taxis operate in the city and counties while the trains just go to other counties. But in Dublin city they have trams in the city. Also, the payment system is different because you pay with either your leap card (a card that you recharge and just tap when you get into the bus) or you pay with cash.

Hello guys, my name is Gabby. I am an avid reader of Nairaland but registered newly in order to share my experience. I would like to share 10 tips with you guys which I think you will find very helpful if you decide to move to Ireland (where I am based) or to a different country abroad… please keep reading and watch the detailed video below where I explained everything.

Listed below are the 10 tips or things I think everyone should consider before they decide to move to Ireland or a different country abroad…

1. Research: the importance of proper research cannot be over emphasized and research is the first thing I chose because this is the stage where you start to think about the school (university, college or institute of technology) you would like to attend, know the course you would like to study and you also want to know if the school is credible and if it is a globally recognised school and all these information can be found on the schools website or if you think that the website is confusing put a call across to the school and get the information you need or better still google the information that you are looking for and I’m sure something will come up.

2. Budget: The amount of money you have set aside for things like tuition, accommodation, transportation and more. Budgeting is important because it allows you to stay within your estimated cost and not to go over it based on the amount of money that you have and the amount of money that you have set aside. You can easily create a budget via excel, Microsoft word or better still the note pad that is on your phone is also a good place to start.

3. Cost of living: it is important to know what the cost of living is like in the country you plan on relocating to. The price varies per counties and cities, so you want to know what it will cost you to live in that city, either school accommodation or off campus accommodation knowing the cost is important and you can also factor that into your budget.

4. Accommodation: when it comes to getting the right accommodation, sometimes you get the best and sometimes you do not. You can start searching for accommodation before going to the country you are moving to. You can google the country you are going to and try to find something that is close to school because this saves you the cost of transportation. And if you do not get an accommodation in time before you resume, you can book a hotel or an Airbnb while you are still searching for your accommodation and always check the school website properly for the section on accommodation.
