I have a study visa for a post graduate studies at UNSW. I am headed to Australia on the 24th of July. Please is there a group chat for Nigerians living in Sydney?

There is a what’sapp group for Africans student Union in UNSW. There are several Nigerian groups scattered. When you touch base, send me a dm with your Aussie number, I will add you to the UNSW one.

Words of wisdom

BASICS->CSS/HTML->PHP->JQUERY->JAVA->RUBY->PYTHON->C->JAVASCRIPT->(open to learn more as the need arise). The concept of control is the same across board

Everyone has advised correctly based on their experiences. I will only add my token. 4 months of extensive coding will not make you a good programmer. It will take a long time to grasp (this means repeated study and practice). As much as the boot camp is good, you will not get the result you are hoping for. What the boot camp will do is to get you started. My suggestion is apply for your HND Achitecture, if you are successful, go for it and secure a base in that, while you are at it, you can learn programming. Google, YouTube, Edex have free courses that can get you up and running.
I used to be a Civil Engineer back in the days but I work as a software Engineer. At the End of the day, just ensure you love programming else you will regret not going for architecture when the initial learning frustration starts.
I wish you all the best

Would have chosen Juninho but from the list, Pirlo obviously. Ronaldinho 2nd. The rest are kids.

You sabi book. You dey watch ball. OP did not put the best free kick taker name on his list. “Juninho”

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let it go — Carol Burnett

I congratulate myself today, as I shine out to be the Best Graduating Student, Geology Department, Federal University of Technology Minna. I am the first girl in my family to have come this far and it matters to me! It's a credo that dreams are valid if we have courage to pursue them. I was raised in a kind of community that has not much keen interest in girl-child education but yet I kept the believe and remain resolute to my dreams. Today, I feel proud to be inspiration to girls in my town (SAKI) that they can achieve their dreams too.

It all started 9yrs ago at The Polytechnic, Ibadan before proceeding to Federal University of Technology Minna as direct entry student. Although the journey was really rough but I didn't give up. In the darkest moments, I was focused to see the light. The moment I deemed the toughest as a Student Nursing Mother, amazingly turns out to be the simplest when I bagged on 5.0 semester cgpa. The rigor of combining motherhood with education poses great challenge to student nursing mothers but with grit, grace and style I triumph against all hurdles. I return my glory to the most exalted.

I give thanks, adoration and utmost gratitude to Almighty Allah for making this long journey a success. My undiluted appreciation goes to my parents ( Mr and Mrs Abdrasaq) for their support. I commend the efforts of my dear husband Iyiola Mubarak Oladimeji, you are God sent in my life. My appreciation is never complete if I fail to salute the efforts of my mentor Maranroola Isiaka Olaniyi, indeed you are a great man. To everyone who have supported me along the journey, who have invested in me to be better and trusted me, may God positively reward you all.

I see this as a completion of one phase in life at the same time beginning of new chapter. I pray May Allah put Barakah in it and more wins to come my way.

Thanks to my friends and family.

Congratulations. You have done well, that your CGPA shows that your worked really hard for a first class. You are actually a first class candidate but we know what geology in FUT minna is. Don’t worry you are just about to enter greatness.

A lot of immigration schemes are very particular about work experience in their countries compared to outside their own countries. With Canada express entry, Canadian work experience triumps work experience outside Canada. It's same with Europe and other advanced nations.

Let's assume one works remotely in Nigeria for a company registered in Canada. Does that count as Canadian work experience or Nigerian work experience.

Yes

Under Mechanical, it's either Ventilation, Air conditioning or Building services.
That puts me in a tricky position....

You can go through Tradesmen or technitian may be check VETASSES to see your options. What ever gives you advantage in the pool is what matters, you must not go through EA

Young lad, I feel your frustration and I will not be judgemental cos once upon a time, I was in your shoes. I want you to first settle in your mind that your dad loves you and wants the best for you. Secondly what ever God wants for you and have planned will come to pass if you are diligent in doing your path.
When I finished my secondary school, my dad wanted me to read Civil Engineering and also wanted me to school in FUT Minna. My desire was Electrical Engineering and Computer in ABU Zaria. Eventually my dad used his veto to change my path.
I look back today after 21 years and I am happy that God used my dad to overturn my decision. Because I ended up meeting some of the best minds in FUT minna. Today I work as a software engineer even after practicing some years as a Civil Engineer. The Civil Engineering set a foundation to where I am today.
Be rest assured that you will not miss anything. God was the one that gave you that man as a father, your path to greatness will be through the foundation he lays for you.
I hope my story makes sense to you. Happy New year

Luis van gal brought me to Barca. I used to support Ajax in the days when Kanu and Finidi graced Holland. We only watched highlights on NTA(Rothmas of pall Mall European football). When Van Gaal signed with Barca, I switched allegiance to the Catalance (1998-date). I saw the reign of Madrid, how they dominated Spain to when power changed hands in 2005 with the arrival to Rjkaard that brought in a new era. I love Barca because of their tiki taka football. I had a little romance with Arsenal but I broke up in 2001 due to the madness Arsene Wenger .

Today Barca are are a shadow of themselves, maybe Xavi will bring in a new era( wishful thinking)

Marrying a girl is better than molesting boys like your prophet did before he was hanged for pedophalia.

All the Popes have been proven to be pedophiles also. There are more child molesters in the Christianity than all other religions combined.
I wonder where they learn this act of sleeping with small boys came from. May be they learn it from Jesus. Go figure.

I taught Islam believed in Jesus as "One of the prophets". You do not sound like someone who knows his holy book. I understand that that guy above insulted Prophet Mohammed SAW but it does not give you the right to insult or make a wrong claim against one of the prophets you believe in. What a shame.

According to the bible, there is neither Jews nor Greek, it is Christ that is all and in all. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Why do you want to have Jewish Christians? Just asking

My brother, the height you will get in life is not dependent on 4+. What you have is good if God blesses it. I am speaking from experience. After my last result in school I though life was over. After many years, it never mattered.

...And I will tell you, there's nothing wrong in making a sex video, absolutely nothing wrong..what is wrong is those dude without reasoning who uploaded the video... Now let us ask ourselves...
What have they achieved? Are they now billionaires? have they achieved their dream? Its all nonsense...if they waited for a minute before uploading, someone would've said " guy this thing no make sense"

Secondly, is about the school management... They have done what is unacceptable by my own judgement... Why must they dissociate themselves from the sextape... Why not think in area of reform and correction... Ever since the school has been established now, they should have produced apostles of old for us...
Its all hypocrisy... Its a Nigerian syndrome... FG does it, state , citizens everyone

Gbam. You have said it all. It's a typical Nigerian mind set nobody wants to reform.

lahizak:
Where you are wrong is that a school first and foremost supposed to protect the student and either you like it or not the girl is a victim. She may be stupid but she is a victim and as far as we are concerned, she did not break the rules of the school. Sex between adult outside a school is not a crime, is not like she steal or kill someone. A video meant for there eyes that got leaked is a violation of her privacy. And either you like it or not her action have no effect whatsoever on the school.
And how will you compare school institution, a place for teaching and learning to work place that pays you salary. So u saying if you and your guy have sex and stupidly make a video and it got leaked, ur office and any other association you know should disown u. Just 4 making a stupid mistake. Na wa oo

Very true. It's unfortunate the way we do things in this country.

mfm04622:
This is not a tax! It is service charges. Banks incur expenses to count the money customers bring! The cost is now being transferred to the customers! This charges will be retained by the banks and not given to government!

How do you encourage liquidity of customers have to pay chargers for deposits and withdrawal. It still brings me to my question, which developed country does that?
You said the banks have been incurring cost, which is true but they have been declaring billions of naira PROFIT after tax and our interest rate is all time high. Sincerely, we are operating as a failed state.

Base1line:
Funny how people that studied literature will be foaming in the mouth over outstanding government economic policies.

Mention one developed country that taxed its people on deposits? It is not done anywhere. If Government want to tax, fine. But tax should be done the right way and there should be accountabily.

edkai:
Hello guys.

Please I need info about flying with Turkish airlines. I am aware they usually have stopovers at Instabul and Singapore or honkong..my question is; based on your experience (for those who have been flown to Australia by the airline), was a Turkish or Singapore Visa required at any of the stopover airports?

Please someone should help me with this info as quickly as possible cos it's very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

You wouldn't be needing any of those since you will not be leaving the Airport.

Tnx a lot u all. Just one question!
Will someone on minimum wage be able to afford these bills + housing?

You will, but just try to live within your means. Just no go dey prize Bugatti and Benz, do like day you no see am until you settle.

God bless this Writer. You have indeed done your home work. A prince that does not know who he is will carry load for a slave. Any Christian that has not read his/her bible will forever remain a slave to the deception of this world and the devil.

Aub430:
Please guys quick question, what's the best way to got to Australia with dollars? I have not opened an AU bank account and definitely too late for that.

Just come with your USD and change it when you arrive(not at the Airport, you will not get a good deal) to avoid multiple bank charges.

Guru in the house help..

My uncle own a company in lagos , he has been paying 350k to my account since May 2018 as form of salary because am self employed in Ogun state. I have 3,7m in saving account which is also my salary account now and 4m on fixed account. I have employment letter from his company stating am the IT manager, leave of absent for 5month, confirmation of employment and company payslip all on company letterhead and stamped. I have a landed property agreement of 3.5m stamped and sign by registered lawyer with land plan. I want to ask if the documents are OK to apply to Australia to visit my husband which is currently doing masters.

More than enough. You are good to go.

They don't want foreigners doing retail. It applies to all nationals. Import to Ghana but leave small scale business for Ghanaians, how hard can that be? Serious Governments implement such laws . It's in place in Kenya, Rwanda etc. No retail business for foreigners, deal with it!!
Way to go Ghana


Keep your lawlessness to your country. Your leaders have refused to look out for their citizens, don't blame Ghana for that.. The other day a boy was asking/planning to go to Accra to do mai chai by the roadside. Ridiculous. I must travel by force to go pollute countries trying to better themselves. Please I applaud Ghanaian govt . If you have no money for wholesale and bulk importing, come back home let's vote in the right people and make Nigeria great.

Truth is always bitter. My dear na true you talk. If Nigeria was a country, she would look after her citizens.

saheedom:
I just got Australia visa (subclass 651)granted 1yr but am skied of using it to travel and the agent promise to write undertaken if any embarrassment occur,please can go ahead and buy ticket please house help me out on this issue.

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/651-?tab=1&heading=who-could-get-this-visa#
You are a learned person, please try and read the above link. What you are carrying is a fake visa because Nigeria is not part of the eligible country. What kind of undertaken does a bloody agent want to give you? A word is enough for the wise. Abeg make una no give us bad name.

Humchi:
To say the truth, i am really heartbroken to hear this news of the man being sack because of what happened a long time ago.

Why did she wait till the time of his wedding? Why not then, possibly take him to the police

I really hate killjoys.

I am not supporting rape. It is a deed that was done back then, that ought to have been settled.

Look now he has lost his job.

I hope the lady is now happy.

My brother, he did not think of the implication when he took advantage of an underage. The Italians will say " VENGEANCE IS SWEET ESPECIALLY WHEN SERVED COLD". I pity him but it's just that every action has a consequence, if not today it will be tomorrow.

The difference between a Thiest and an Atheist is based on three things, which are Belive, Experience and Knowledge. For the Atheist, they do not have an experience of God. The Atheist have very strong knowledge of the non existence of God which of cause is flawed because not all cases can be logically explained. They have developed a believe system that God does not exist in which for you to experience God, you must first believe His existence. I used to be a freethinking person until I had an encounter. When I see a well crafted arguements from Atheists I know where they are coming from. Until they have an encounter with God or God's enemy, all this big philosophical statements will continue. There is no amount of prove you will give an Atheist that will change His mind because Believe & Encounters cannot be logically explained. If you drank an orange and say its sweet, anybody who has not tasted the same orange cannot support your claim. I have touched Jesus, I know Jesus and I Live by Him. I am sorry I cannot explain my experience. My life is a miracle.

Dalamama:
When did any God appear to you and told you he has an enemy? What does it mean to say that God has an enemy? And God hasn't destroyed this enemy because of what?

The Atheist must not always ask questions, you should be ready to give answers too. Can you give me detailed prove why there is no God. I do not want all those scientific evidence you guys believe that the world started with a big bang etc. If you can give me detailed prove from your own research and personal experience that there is no God, there is no supernatural, there are no spiritual powers that transcends this physical world, I will answer your all your questions. My relationship with God transcends human philosophies and superior mental arguments but if you want prove I will give after you have given me yours.

KanwuliaExtra:
I call them fortunate experiences.
Luck smiled on me. Not God!

Too many lucky breaks.
Nothing associated with any “God”.

If there was any TRUE MIRACLES, there would be NO suffering, disease or poverty anywhere in the world. Tell your “GODs” to eradicate injustice, diseases, wickedness and poverty for TRUE MIRACLES!


We are just LUCKY for now!

Very common statement by every atheist. What you guys fail to understand is that God has an enemy. Whether you believe or not the enemy of God believes in you. Disaster, injustice and calamity are consequences of the activities of the enemy.
