Would a child be better off raised in a home by an overworked single mother carrying a "Mrs" badge desperately dragging along a deadbeat father?

I think labels are overrated. She can leave (she wants to and she will). Entirely her choice.

However, the fact remains. The risk inherent in the bet against dual parent households almost always works against the children.

Some kids grew up in single parent households or separated ones and they are doing just fine. Others grew up in two parent households and are a perpetual nightmare to their parents and others around them.

The risk inherent in this bet almost always works against the children.

Your choice of role models is reflective of your thought process and mentality in general.

Pappibearr:
Hi guys, i just realized there is now a 300 word limit for GTE statements. Omo that wouldnt be enough to convince the visa officer na😫

Attach a longer version to your application

Usefulsense:
Please I need your answers

Personally, I’d renew. Given current rules, you can fly with it. If this is a decision you intend to take, it’s advisable to get confirmation from the airline.

Pappibearr:
I totally understand you bro, it’s just that recently, I know about 3 people that have been rejected solely on “current economic situation of Nigeria”.

Hmmmm

jjcena:
China is were they are today because they copied what Japan and Germany did. Today China is the largest exporter of finished products and they are still copying in case you don't know.

If you can't innovate, copying should be your stepping stone. It's not a bad idea to copy.

You can't copy context.

my wife AUD card

Did the calculations and I think they’re correct. $3500 aud is about $2400 usd which is about N1.1m @ N455/1 (official rate).

Actually thought you had the money in naira. It’s always better to convert $ to naira before doing any naira transactions. Never ever use your $ card to transact in naira.

denzel231:
I am in Edo state, do you have their phone number? Please. My wife said she wanted to call them .

No , I don’t. Did you use a dollarcard for the transaction? Is it USD or AUD?

denzel231:
NGN 1094765.00

That's the money on the receipt.

Are you in Lagos ? Their office is in Ahmadu Bello Way in VI. I think it’s something you need to sort out in person.

denzel231:
Finally bought the ticket, thanks for the guidelines.

Everything was about 1.1mil naira in Qatar airways but after paying with my wife card, they deducted $3500 from her card .. how manage? What's the exchange rate or na me confuse... The difference is much when you convert the dollar to naira. Help pls

What’s the amount on the receipt?

denzel231:
thanks bro, I appreciate the support. Can I also skip the option of picking a seat and go straight to payment?

Sure. I’m surprised you haven’t paid yet. The price changes

emmyomo:
I received an email form my school congratulating me that I am now officially a student of the school. Telling me what I am likely to experience studying on campus, adding me to one of the campus communities. But I am yet to get feedback from embassy, my application is on the 8th week now (biometry and Medicals was 12th of April), and my start date is early July.
Plz house does the email has any significance to my visa application?

Not sure the email has any significance to visa application. I guess the school wants to bring you up to speed before you resume which is pretty standard.

denzel231:
I picked a seat from Lagos to Qatar, I wasn't giving the options to a pick a seat from Qatar to Melbourne, is that how it's done? am I doing it correctly ? Pls help

You will definitely get a seat at check-in. You can talk to the airline staff about preferred seat options (aisle or window) when you’re checking in (if those options are still available). But you’d definitely get a seat.

Maranatha5:
Thanks a lot. Please do you know the kind of plug I will have access to on flight to charge my phone. I have 3 pin adapter I don't know if it's suitable as I don't plan to travel with power bank.

You won’t need an adapter on the flight. A USB cable is okay. The in-flight entertainment system has a USB port which can be used for charging after take-off.

You may wish to get an adapter for your other needs in Australia. Cheaper to buy in Nigeria but the cost differential is almost insignificant.

Maranatha5:
What currency can one use for transactions, also can one have a bathe for a 20 hours layover

If you have a dollar card, you can make transactions in usd. Not sure naira Mastercards will work. Better still, change naira to usd (cash) at MM1 before you board. I think it’s generally better generally to change all naira to usd before traveling at MM1. Not sure you’d be able to make that swap once you take off.

There are lounges at Doha, if you need some time off. Careful not to sleep off though so you don’t miss the next flight.

Please has anyone received grant for subsequent entrant (subclass 500) recently? I’d like to know the timeline from application to grant, if possible. Thank you

denzel231:
thanks .
I will use the Lagos to doha to Melbourne.....

I hope I won't be paying for any transit stuff ?

Sorry for disturbing y'all, am new to this. Thanks 👍

Doha has the best transit experience (for me, so far). No payments or anything so far as you remain in the transit area. When you get to Doha, identify the boarding gate to Melbourne for the next flight. If you have time, there is lots of things to either buy or eat in the transit area. My last flight was Lagos-Doha-Melbourne-Sydney. I'm sure you'll find it fun.

denzel231:
can I book it myself or I will have to use an agent?
If you don't mind, can I contact you ?

It's easy to book on the website (qatarairways dot com)

denzel231:
how do we get the transit visa? I am new to this ...

Nigeria to Qatar to Australia is expensive...

The cheaper one to some extent is Nigeria to Qatar to Hong Kong to Melbourne...

As someone that flies Sydney - Lagos - Sydney quite frequently, I’d advise anyone to use Qatar. Just plan your trip well.

Whatever route you book, make sure you are clarified on transit requirements. To avoid stories that touch.

This one na oyibo,??

Tragedy after tragedy

Cj9jaland:
They do and it’s 70,000NGN. You can also write an email to IOM they will give you a closer date.

Thanks for the response. We’ve tried contacting both of them. Fatayi says they do on a rolling basis. IOM is radio silent. Booking the regular appointment on their website isn’t working. Any contacts will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi guys, I come again. Please who knows if Fatayi Williams in VI still does medicals for study visa? I remember I couldn’t get an appointment quickly with them when I applied. I wonder if that’s still the case. Is IOM better? What’s the current cost like ?

iamkingrobert:
Good day everyone, please am processing Australia Tourist Stream 600 Visa for my Sister and we got the Biomethrics done for weeks now via VFS and till date i still haven't seen a mail saying the Biomethric has been Completed or Submitted, Please should i be worried? Also have applied for the visa for more than 35days now.

Please help me, what can i do?

Don’t know how it’s done these days but I am not sure
you should expect to receive communication regarding the status of biometrics. You can check your immi account just to be sure.

wonderfulperson:
Please someone help me out, what happens when they dependents are not able to join the MA till he finishes his masters, can they still join. Thank you

Can you clarify what you mean by “not able to join the MA till he finishes his masters”?

My understanding is that dependents are eligible to join the main applicant as subsequent entrants while their study visa is still valid.

If you mean that the study visa has elapsed and the main applicant is on a post-study visa (485), then dependents are also eligible to join as subsequent entrants.

If the main applicant has not completed their studies and does not have a valid study visa, then there is no basis to join as subsequent entrant.

Sylvyangel:
The biometrics appointment sent to your mail

Chizzyvivian:
