ibrahimdoc how did it go? I have been following your thread. Hope everything went well?

TheManOfTheYear:
I only gave rough estimates. That amount is usually the maximum in most cases

That's too high. Hope you ain't thinking it's naira you just estimated. Even a company manager in US won't make 31k dollars a month even if he works $150 per hour. Mind you they ain't working the whole 24 hours per day. It's mostly 8 hours per day. And 40 hours per week. That amount you quoted should be per anum not per month. I stand to be corrected. But someone else can confirm this.

TheManOfTheYear:
Oh bobs. We're talking real money here.

An average forklift operator in Finland earns about $13 to $15 per hour. You're talking of like $31,000 per month.

In Norway however,you can earn about 39kr(norwegian kroner)
From my research,you can even earn more if you're ready to do night shifts or work during weekends.

But in a nutshell,you'll earn more in Finland.
Perhaps after making enough money you can switch to your beloved Norway.
Luck

How does $15 per hour translate to $31,000 per month?

Hello, please I purchased this bundle but it's not letting me call Australia. Called MTN call centre severally but they were of no help. Have u used it before? it's actually calling the US, but Australia keep giving me the low/insufficient balance response.

Ah that's serious . That's what I use to call US. which of of d bundle did u purchase ?

Thank so blackbuddy. This is why I always stress that any immigrant coming to Canada should try to attend sessions at government funded employment services. Secondly, I know our accent is thick(I also have problem with this but working on it) but please let's try to mimic the way they speak. An average Canadian doesn't have ears for accent. If they can't decipher your accent they conclude that you cannot communicate. Unless you are in engineering or computer line of work, then you may get away with me. It's not only us, they also have problems with British and Australian accents too. Let's try to do what will make our lives easier as we start a new life in this country.

You are right. Our thick accent is kinda a prob. I was on call with a white woman some days ago requesting for employment identification number for one of my service I render online. So she was asking for my address. And I called it with our thick accent ...she couldn't get it. She kept on asking me to repeat it.

The word I was calling was Shuttle Street but she finds it hard getting the shuttle correctly cuz I was pronouncing it Shutto as we normally pronounce it in Nigeria but hell no she still couldn't get it. A mind was then telling me why not pronounce it the America way? I decided to go the America way and pronounced it Shurro street with little d sound...that was wen she got it. Since then I have been using You tube to practice America accent cuz Canadians still speak like the Americans .

The trick is that they don't pronounce words with force.....as British do. British accent is too thick. Same with Australia. I prefer the American accent cuz u don't stress your mouth too much pronouncing words. Just a slight movement of your mouth and you are done.

I heard Treasury bill is better than fix deposit. What's your take on that?

Is anyone into Treasury bills here? I have been hearing of it but don't know how it works. Can someone kindly explain. I know it deals with the bank. It's different from fix deposit. I really need to know about it.

LeoT1:
Good write up but the realities on ground are very different. I was an advocate of real estate and I have invested millions into property (houses, flats, lands, shops etc) over the last 5 years. I took time to do the maths recently and I realised that the opportunity cost clearly outweigh the ROI from these ventures. Here are the facts:
1. I had an opportunity to invest on treasury bills or by a shop in lekki for 5m . I opted for the later. The rental income was a paltry 250k per annum gross without discounting for maintenance cost and estate management agent cost. The asking price of the shop today is 6m. At treasury bills rate was 18% for 5 years. Do the maths.

I have other experiences that are less palatable than this. Rental income is normally between 5 to 7%. Normal property appreciation could even be lower. There are "trophy property " that could bring a lot of returns but they are one and far between. Go to the cemetery of lost investments from real estate, you may never touch it again from a dozen feet away. Remember only successful cases make the news. It's like a lottery.

Hello bro, I am been hearing of this Treasury bills . How does it work? pls throw some light on it cuz I may go into that any time soon by the grace of God.

akilo1:
very true,I just bought a plot of land in warri worth 1.4m but if I decide to sell that land now for just a period of 2months since I bought it,I will sell it for 2.2m and customers are ready to cash it but I will build on it,saving money in the bank is like giving ypir money to those who want to be richer with yoir money,but the problem with real estate is the problem of been dupe by greedy nigerians

Bro ,that's nice. What's the size of the land and what type of house do you intend building on it?

So a lot of people get invites and never accept them.
Maybe because they lodged multiple EOIs and somehow refuse to delete them after they have gotten invites.
This is affecting a lot of other people.
Pls let's not be that person.

That's serious. Na was for some people self. How do they get themselves in that poo. You receive invitation to close the other one is a problem. I blame them.

Rett0:
Just recharge with #500-#1000. I think it should do
Can't really state how long call will take. If the help desk officer can resolve your issue from his system, it will definitely take less time.

Direct recharge won't be enough. It's international call. Why will I recharge direct with N500 to N1000 which won't last up to 20minutes when I can opt in for international call bundle of 40 minutes talk time for same N500?

I have already given him what he wants. Information is power.

jayooh:
Hello people, please which of our network providers are best for calling Australia? I wanna put a call through to my assessor.
Do EA quickly pick up their call and connect applicants to respective assessment officers?
Anyone who has contacted EA via phone call before, what information do I need to have handy for seamless conversation?

Thanks in anticipation

Let me add a few things to those points:
1. Proper keyword research also includes discarding keywords where too little money is chasing too many books.
2. Quality and quantity matter a lot. These days the quality barrier is higher. Apart from providing quality content, also check the average number of pages of the best books under your keyword and try to be close to them.
3. In titles and subtitles, we don't use synonyms for keywords. We use keywords provided by the amazon search engine with very very little deviation. When you are expert in this skill, you will practically "own" some keywords. Your book will pop up any time those phrases are typed into the amazon search box and will later extend to Google.
5. To make it in the health & fitness category, switch to books with mainly recipes and little talk. Don't write a health book with long stories. Choose keywords where the solution lies in eating a particular type of food. Write an introduction to talk about the diet then provide several excellent recipes.

Thanks a lot for this. I appreciate.

mk82:
Although I haven't seen your books but I can make a few guesses.
1. You didn't do proper keyword research.
2. Your content quality and quantity is low for the keyword or niche.
3. Your title and subtitle don't reflect the keyword.
4. Your cover is not professional enough.
5. You chose a very tough niche or a niche with celebrity authors or established professionals.
...and more.
If you take care of the above points then spread your net wider by publishing on draft2digital and createspace.

Thanks for your analysis. However, I have great covers. I did number 1 very well. I may be guilty of number 2 but does the quantity really matter or the quality? Quality is great. I do proper content research before writing but my lowest number of pages is 51 so far. I pass number 3 cuz I ensure that my keywords reflect the synonyms of my title and subtitle. Number 5: I am into health niche.

In all ,thanks for your awesome comment.

I started writing 1 September,2017. I have published 4 books so far. I am about to publish my 5th book but no single sale yet. This is getting me discouraged. mk82

No single menial job is going to give you $3600 a month. That's what most people earn doing two or three jobs. The best you can get from a single menial job is probably $2,800 before tax. Brother you are still lost in the conversion illusion. With such amount you can't even afford a one bedroom apartment. You will need to share with a roommate. I guess the banker in Nigeria shared his three bedroom with 6 other persons?

Bro you are wrong.

WIZGUY69:
Just thinking... is this the high brow area of Australia?

Why will you be asking that kinda question bro if that's the most high brow area? Australia of all Australia?

Go to YouTube and watch Australia videos, that place is bloody clean. Too clean and they have nicer roads and surroundings. Go watch "Tony Solo Day Game Infield" to see the different areas in Melbourne. He moves from place to place all over Melbourne, so you can have a glimse of how nice the place look. I believe Australia top one of the most cleanest country in the world. So that place can't be the most high brow area. Same with New Zealand. They both have clean surroundings. Remember littering is illegal there.

catchdwind4rmkd:
My reply bouncrd! Failure Notification. Don't know the cause.

catchdwind4rmkd:

Hello catchdwind4rmkd ,

Well done! I think I enjoyed your experience. In fact , I am already feeling Ausie breeze rovering all around me.

Pls I will really like to keep in touch with you for the purpose of networking as I am in the same field as you. How do I reach you to this effect?

I am interested

Omooloriredade:
Go to the NPC office closest to you. Go along with your passport photo and probably an ID( didn't send any ID). It costs between 5k and 10k (don't remember how much exactly). Just asked my old folks to process it on my behalf outside Lagos. They would require your full names and permanent address (and...don't remember again jare). It was ready in a week.

Thanks

Omooloriredade , congrat! Pls how did you go about processing your birth certificate with National population commission?

How do I go about it cuz I want to process mine too.

Being an industrial chemist,I would like to seek the Opinion of public on "the distinguishable characteristics between industrial chemistry as a field of study and chemical engineering",which one of the two fields has better chance of being employed when it comes to job hunting,can they substitute each other in the industry.

You comparing Chemical Engineering with Industrial Chemistry?. The difference is just extremely too much to draw out a comparison. Do know that Chemical Engineering is a professional course that requires 5yrs of studies while industrial Chemistry is just 4yrs. All Engineering courses are equivalent to similar bachelor degrees in abroad. For instance, a 5yrs Engineering course is equivalent to a 4yrs similar Engineering course abroad. But you can't see that with other 4yrs science courses.

In terms of job? you can't compare Chemical Engineering with industrial chemistry job wise because the potential of Chemical Engineering is quite much. The reason being that it is a broad field. You can almost fit in all sectors. That makes it a great potential going for it.

We pay exactly 320 dollars a week on rent. Our bond was 1280 dollars which is 4 weeks rent.

That's interesting.

Ebookmathswaec:
Why can't we print the $5.5bn ourselves instead of borrowing since we can print money ourselves?

I believe if we print the money ourselves, we can use it for whatever we want and we won't need to pay back money to anybody.

Nairalanders pls! I need explanation.

It doesn't work like that bro.

oknee , thanks for sharing your experience. Enjoy your new country. I want to ask ; is the $1400 a one month rent or a week rent?

When I notice a boring conversation I'd say "brb" and after that it might be till next time you buzz me I have messages I haven't responded in years, some months. I don't do monosyllables , at 31 can't be cracking my head trying to entertain someone when bills dey ground lol

That's it bro. I really don't know why some ladies are like that. You can image someone will take his time to type a whole 25 words expression only for him to get the surprise of his life of a reply of K. That automatically seems like an insult to me and such a girl doesn't stand a chance of knowing me.

How many naija girls a guy will strike a conversation with and act inquisitive? Not many. In fact , I have lost hope in all our ladies. It is hard to see an intelligent girl that will engage a guy in a thought provoking discussion these days. All they do is to snap pictures, open up boobs and yansh everywhere. Nothing else.

pcguru1:
I hate chatting, a phone call is much easier , chatting takes more effort from your hand than masturbation lol

This is same method I am trying to replicate. I think chatting is more of a stress to the guys than the ladies cuz most are boring and expect you to be the one to keep the conversation going which supposed not to be. And majority are fond of replying with k k k k who does that?

What I do when a girl reply me with K, I make sure I reply with L. They will normally ask what's that? I will then reply I thought we were reciting the alphabet.

Naija gals are too boring.

Almost all Nigerian food items are available for sale here so don't worry so much.They are just a little pricey that's all but it's nothing you can't afford.

What a good news for me. Cuz I like EBA wella . Thank you for clearing my doubts. I have been thinking of it all the time how I will survive without EBA not knowing I will still see EBA to wack when I finally get over. Thanks for that.
