Oh jeez! Gullible guy. Naija guys don teach Malay ladies scam finish grin
Immigration officer ko.
onismate:
As soji narrated their ordeal and how they have been trying to avoid the police and security agents in Malaysia, I pitied him. I never knew mine was coming in a matter of days. He said he can’t just go back to Nigeria like that, that his family are looking up to him and his plan is to move to the Caribbean because he heard they are many opportunities there. But he doesn’t have any money and nobody or company would offer an illegal migrant a job. He advised me to come and join them in that dustbin of a room, that I was wasting too much money on hotel accommodation. I told him never to worry about that that I can convince ebuka to help me. He laughed, that he has been in Malaysia for over 3 years in that condition, “ebuka can’t help you,” he said to me.
Two days to the expiration of my visa, I was at the hotel’s bar which was dominated by so many blacks. The bar is been managed by ebuka. A well-dressed Malaysian woman came to my table. She started chatting me up and we talked from world politics to sports and their country Malaysia. The way we talked, it looked as if we have known each other for years and she spoke good English. She told me she was a Malaysian immigration officer. Immediately I heard “Malaysian immigration officer,” na so my body move in excitement. It seemed my dream had come true. “This woman will help me with immigration status,” I thought to myself. I began asking her about immigration processes and how I can extend my stay in the country. She told me it was possible to extend my stay in Malaysia without stress and she was going to do it for me for free. I was so happy. She brought the bag she was carrying and brought out some forms for me to fill which I did. She even showed me her ID card that she indeed works for immigration officer. When she was going, she gave me $10 and said she would come back the next day. Na she even dash me money, unlike ebuka wey wan collect from me.

but if only i had known the purpose of her dashing me the money !!!

I paid way less for a family of five. I used BUPA and paid $4475. Medibank is just too pricey.
aduktus:
Graduate research scholarships are of many types and sources but most do NOT include OSHC! The amount to pay depends on whether it is a single or couple or family (husband+wife+1 baby or more) applicant. Amount to pay also depends on the school and the insurance company involved.
For family as example, 2015 cost is abt $13,000 while single is around $3000 and couple $7000 for Medibank. Well, 60% increment occurred in 2015; hence, the high cost!

Captivating!
I had visited Malaysia with my family and particularly enjoyed the beautiful Kuala Lumpur with array of shopping plazas e.g BB complex and the world tallest twin towers. Beautiful KL I must say, but no one enjoys a country as an illegal immigrant.
I'm glad you came out alive to tell your tale.

spyder880:
The flow of water is still much here, I have employed some villagers here to help me cut all the grass which has been growing wildly this rainy season. The grass is forming a bush around the entry point into this land. (every one now knows me in this village and they are eager to help in anything I ask of. Some approached me to give them contracts to supply sand and others want to bring in gravel with wheel barrows)

Meanwhile we continue to place beacons around the land but the work is being hindered by too much rains which mess up the access roads. I will work on this first culvert pictured to allow me and others drive through to the nearest point in this land where I usually park my car. I think 7 bags of cement will do the work. I have discussed this with some people in the village, they are going to supply gravel and sand while I bring in cement and labour. Water is free.
EducationRe: Five Reasons Not To Apply To A UK University by lighternote: 1:14pm On Jun 15, 2015
The rate at which they do their aggressive marketing on every available space should let you know that it's just another business venture, a source of revenue for their dwindling economy and especially the mushroom universities over there. You see them promoting poor ranking universities and selling such to gullible Nigerians at yet exorbitant international tuition.
They still kick ur assss out after milking you dry. No PSW. shocked

If ur papa isn't one of these thieving politicians and so you don't have the required support structure during and after studies, UK uni is a NO NO.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: When You Get An Interview Invite For A Position You Know Nothing About by lighternote: 6:49pm On Jun 14, 2015
Exactly! Nothing technical here. Just exactly what u do on Nairaland here. Brand imaging ur coy on social media and attending to customers queries there. If you have good communication skills (written) and ability to manage visual contents, go for it.
Imanuelle:
Sounds like a big complex stuff, but its not, its a job for someone with a great sense of humor, patience and understanding.

More like brand promotion on social platforms like Facebook and the likes.

Can't go further than HTML
bakingsoda:
cryThe role has nothing to do with web design. It has more to do with managing the company's online presence, like answering customers' questions on social media, updating the company's page with good contents, etc. A sound graduate of any discipline can handle the role.

Chinaimporter:
[b][size=13pt]The bible is a fake bullshit that we only accept because it is so ancient and we where brought up beliving it.

Let us stop being afraid of God because thousands of people are atheist,hindus buddist etc and nothing happens to them.

Churches are burnt,bibles are torn, saints are crucified and nothing happens.

If God says he exist and want us to worship him,let him write it in the sky.....why hide from us and ask us to belive u exist and if we dnt,you will punish us in hell while u say that you love us......sounds like something the devil will do not god.

Why give us many religions and ask us to blindly choose the right one and if we couldnt,you will punish us.

Why do you like our praises so much if you are so great and dont need us.....we never asked to be created in the first place.....why do you ask us to thank you for bringing us into this vile and ruthless world.

I will never worship or serve you because ur rule is by fear.....pple dnt love you,they only pretend to out of fear.....love is unconditional and your is....quench hell and let us see how many people will actually serve you.

You drown men for disobeying you.....stalin killed for the same reason.....you asked the isrealites to kill people that worship any other except you,boko haram do the same thing.....jephtah sacrificed his daughter to you, meaning you accept human sacrifice like all other heaten gods.

I promise that if you ever exists and armagadon comes,i will ride with satan and the fallen angels against you and make sure you are sent to the bottomeless pit(pls make it hotter because you will enjoy it soon)

Satan never did anything to man by your own account in the bible.....he said we sld eat the fruit and be wise and it worked.....the worst thing he did was mess with job and you allowed it

But you

You unforgiving beast allowed your son to be killed so that you can forgive us and we still go to hell after that.

You allowed a bear to eat 52 children for insulting elijah.

You drowned you so called beloved ones because they disobeyed you....what would tge devil hav ton in this case?

You orded the murder,rape and enslavement or whole cities.

You allowed your beloved ones the isrealites to be enslaved because they disobeyed you due to your poor managerial skills.....even hitler would not do that.

I can go on and on to prove you are the greatest beast of them all.....even baal is better that you[/size][/b]

I emailed IOM lagos at the same time i emailed IOM Australia, both replied almost same time (next day)
I supplied them the required info and got their quotes.
Ok. IOM Lagos came a little bit cheaper than IOM Australia, ($30 difference ) and more importantly a better route as it is Lagos-Dubai-Melbourne where as the other is Lagos-Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne.
The mode of payment is better with IOM Lagos too as you simply pay into their Standard Chartered Bank Acc.
Of course, I chose IOM Lagos, paid from the comfort of my bedroom by instant transfer and got my ticket the next day.
