Sophisticated scam.

RED FLAG

1. The said conference will be in Dallas while the said hotel accomodation will be in Houston. The cities are at least 3 hours apart.

2. Why will a conference even pay for your visa and flight fees? It's normally the other way round.

3. The said hotel has no visible online presence, apart from it's website which I believe was created for the sole purpose of scamming. No reviews or nothing. Big red flag for an hotel said to host conference delegates.

4. The said hotel is missing on google map. The said address of the hotel is actually a residential street.

5. Your visa documents will be processed here in the United States and the approval letter of your visa will be sent to the U.S Embassy in your country for the collection of your visa. . This is the biggest red flag of all.

Scammer.

Australia's borders have been closed since March 2020.

Nigerians should learn to use google map. There is an hotel at this address.

...

Marrying a foreign woman can ruin your life .

I know men who are in London with their wives and live like slaves in their house.


There is a man I know who washes dishes and cooks while his wife sits down and watches TV..


He went to work and came back, he met his wife with visitors, his wife told him to go into the kitchen and prepare food for the guests..


This is not a movie oh, it happened in London

My brother, I witnessed something like this back then.

Went to visit a female Nigerian friend/colleague. It was not the first time but it was the first her boyfriend abi na fiancee will be there. We had about four other Nigerians there. After babe served us confirm local food, boyfriend was the first to finish eating. Man dropped plate in the sink and wanted to take water from the fridge when the last shouted at him in our presence to "Wash those plates". We were in our 20s and this man is late 30s and above.

I was in a dilemma that day. Many things were running through my mind like 'Do I finish my food and go and wash my plates jeje before person come embarrass me. Last last, it was the boyfriend that washed all the plates.

FYI, this happened in Germany. And btw, the lady was on a long stay visa like us, not a PR or Citizen. So the idea of the man totally leeching off her for papers is not it.

I just tire bro, those people didn't pay my money till date, I bought another land and developed it and now this is happening. I finished it just 2 weeks ago.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if it's Ogshc, it is best to take heart cos they don't negotiate. It will be demolished, maybe not now but eventually.

I'm very sorry for your experiences. Please next time do a search at the land registry to be sure the land is not under government acquisition.

Enter ketu, from ketu, enter Yaba, from yaba enter mushin, from mushin enter oshodi, from oshodi enter toll gate and stop at ijaiye, from ijaiye enter abule egba from there you'll see okada to ija N100

Very stupid fellow.

Sorry OP. I can only give driving directions.

But you can take BRT to Ketu. I'm sure there'll be a bus to Iju from Ketu. Maybe even a BRT.

or simply take BRT to Ketu, From Ketu, another BRT to Agege Pen cinema. From there find your way to Iju.

Good morning.
My flight ticket was sent to me yesterday, but my seat number isn't written on the ticket. Please, how do I check my seat number on Qatar airline? Kindly help me.

You'll get your seat number when it's time to check in. Either you do it online or at the airport.

Gernny:
Uncle that lived in Europe, whose fault is it that you are not successful?as the property is there is the thing yielding money?someone is trying to secure his children's future.Mind you I have been in the UK. NIGERIANS CAN SURVIVE ANYWHERE SO LONG YOU ARE NOT LAZY.

First of, I'm more than successful than you or your lineage.

Secondly, perhaps as a UK resident, you can tell us how he'll survive as a married man with 5 kids in the UK in relation to his quality of life in Nigeria with a 25m property . Let everyone learn from your tips

Gernny:
Please do it, you have 5 kids think of their future uk has opportunities, a friend mine went for Msc in adult Nursing she didn't do Nursing in her undergraduate do u know how much she earns, give yours 2years in UK,u will make that money back.travelling abroad is not a loss right now unless u are a lazy person. System works over there.

That's how y'all are blabbing my friend this, my friend that.... Have you lived outside the country before?

Op, take it from someone who has studied, lived and worked in Europe. Don't try it. There is a difference between visiting the UK and actually living there. With 5 kids, don't try it. Your quality of life will reduce by a lot.

Scammer oshi.
Even the average income in Poland is less than 1000€.

First of all, you don't need 25m to settle in the UK. You don't even need half of that.

Second of all, you're married with 5 kids.

Best advice you can get is; Don't do it. Don't even consider going to the UK.

All these yeye northerners busy writing rubbish to make it seem anyone cares about their embargo.....

The truth is, we don't care. All these noise about it is only online talk. People don't care about it offline. How many people dey chop cow sef.

Idiot even said "According to a report by the BBC, a ram was on Tuesday sold at N1millon and another at N800,000 at Alaba Rago Market in Lagos State.".



Where is the link to the BBC report? Rubbish and Nonsense.

Mehn, I feel you.

I'm supposed to have been back in Europe too.

But after having my first child last month, I'm still rethinking it, especially childcare costs. Enrolling my baby in childcare facilities means my wife earnings will majorly go into childcare payments, having my wife stay at home will leave her dormant careerwise. Besides, the baby is still too young for daycare facilities.

How do you intend to navigate that aspect. Maybe I could learn from you.

Since you didn't mention his state; let me give you a breakdown.

270 dollars will feed him for a month.

270 dollars is what he will earn working 38 hours on the federal minimum wage.

Sorry if I'm derailing but I just want to rant here.

I applied thinking my masters GPA was 3.7. I basically just converted my overall masters grade from my grading system to the canadian one, using the international grade equivalency on their website. If they had done it semester by semester, it would have been 3.8. But they did it course by course and now I'm left with a 3.44 grade.

Please what are my chances. I applied to McGill and Utoronto for both funded masters and PhD.

Because Airlines are very confident that no matter how expensive, Nigerians would pay especially when still basking in joy of finally getting the Visa!

I know 2 Nigerian students flying to the UK from here in Nairobi, come this Friday for their postgraduate studies (they just finished from a Kenyan university) and each got a Qatar Airways' ticket of an equivalent of N159,000 while still angry it is expensive!

So "close eyes" buy the ticket!

Putting this out for those interested in cheap flight tickets. Tickets don't have to be expensive if you know where to look unless it is compulsory to use BA. I booked for someone for 10th October (Turkish airlines) and there was more than 200k difference between the price and BA.

For those trying to cut down on flight tickets, use skyscanner.net and you can save close to $700 than using BA. They might not be direct flights though and may usually have one stopover.

Please can my wife get a tier 2 sponsorship with a degree in Public health? What job positions or employer should we be targeting?

Who has used Zenith bank Master Card for a dollar transaction today? All the cards I used got declined. Not sure what is happening

I think everyone who has issue with paying online can use Wallets by flutterwave. It's on playstore. They give you a virtual US ATM card which you can fund in Naira and pay whatever fees you need to pay.

I don't know how much other banks charge but flutterwave charges N472/$.

Skymoore1004:
Not related but do you mind me asking why you want to leave Germany for U.K.? Especially as I guess you’re studying tuition free?

I'm not the person you quoted but I feel I'm qualified to answer since I also studied in Germany and plan on moving to the UK with family too.

For me, it's firstly the language. Not being fluent reduces your chance of socializing, networking and of course, getting a good job. God help you if you're not in a big city.

Secondly, it's difficult to bring your family over to Germany unlike the UK as a student. In Germany, your spouse and child, depending on their age are expected to at least pass the minimum German language requirement. And besides it's better to bring your partner over to a country when there isn't a large barrier like language to employment prospects. That way, both of you can work and contribute to the upkeep of the house.

Lastly, I don't know how true this is. But with UK leaving the EU, I believe there are better prospects for a even playing field between non-EU citizens and EU citizens.

1. If you can justify your need for a 2nd masters, you're good. But it normally shouldn't be an issue since your previous study wasn't in the UK and if you're able to link it to the ability to move up to management positions in STEM, it sought of ties in with your professional aims which also ties in with the reason for choosing your course.

2. If the loan meets all the T4 requirements, you stand a high chance of getting your visa. I know that Prodigy has been used successfully in the past so it shouldn't be a problem but ensure to check if prodigy is available for your school though.
Note that you might be asked questions around your current earning vis-a-vis the loan repayment during your interview.

3. This largely depends on your skills, how well you sell yourself to employers and how nearly you start your search.

4. True. Except as a doctor or dentist.

Thank you mimi. Yes, I'm only applying to schools that prodigy is available in.

People, I visited the UK last year and loved it. Not necessarily because it was better than the countries I've lived in but my God, it felt to so good conversing with people freely in a language I speak fluently unlike my life in Germany where I struggled badly with the language. Now I'm in Nigeria and I want to go back to the UK and I need advice. I apologise if these questions have been asked earlier.

- I already have a Masters degree, will it be an issue at the embassy if I should apply for a one-year Masters in Management or MBA. The goal is to change from STEM to Management.

- What are the odds of getting a visa if I'm using a loan for tuition such as prodigy finance etc. Especially as I plan on going with my wife and kid. I'll rather not go anywhere if my family is not coming with me. I've had 5 European study/visit visas including for the UK while she will be applying with a fresh passport.

- What are the odds of securing a graduate job after study. This is an important aspect.

- I see information that my wife is allowed to work in the UK and without restrictions. How true is this?

Looks like scam.

The short deadline is deliberate. They know you live far and expect you to be desperate. Once you're desperate, you'll ask for it to be sent to you and then they'll ask you for "delivery fees".



My two cents.

Prettybhoy:
my name is on the receipt bro... Would the pawn shop buy it normal price?

No. Prepare to sell at 70-80%

Prettybhoy:
Please if you live in Germany I want to ask you if you know any store or supermarket or shopping mall that I can sell my phone to? The phone is being sent to me but I don't need it yet so I want to swap it for money. ... Do you know any store in Munich that would buy it from me?? It's a new phone inside cartoon to be precise.


Mods please help me move this post to front page so it can reach larger audience.. Thanks

Apart from selling it yourself offline to any person, you can try ebay.de or any other online site you know of.

Pawnshops are the only one I know that would buy it from you immediately. But they do need a receipt with your name on it (very important most of the time) to avoid buying stolen goods.

I haven't lived in Munich so I can't direct you to one specifically, but input "pfandhaus munich" or "Leihhauser Munich" on Google Map. It should bring you a list of pawnshops and you can select the one closest to you.

Shamzy25:
Been thinking of a country to travel NB to and a traveling agent recommended Romania. I am thinking of risking it after the lockdown as the travel agent assured me of getting a good job on arrival in Romania. Please I need advice from people on this forum if Romania is okay and promising to settle down and get a job...

I'll advise you as a brother. Please think of another country. I once studied in Romania and the country is really poor. Minimum wage (240€/month) is very low compared to EU standards, jobs are hard to come by and Romanians are leaving their country in droves and then again, you don't speak Romanian. Unless you're going to study there first, that country is a no no for hustling.

Look for another one.

One of the things I'm grateful for in life. Imagine dating or marrying a girl who doesn't bring a lot of baggages and headaches.

That was how I used to date a single mother. Perfect woman but imagine being young and handsome and you're already carrying someone else's baggages for them. I also remember telling her early on that I'll not live with or take care of another man's child. The day she brought the boy to my house, I left home immediately and told her to return the boy before I come back.

I had to deal with being number two as the son comes first, the baby's father calling everytime and they are discussing about 'their son, the grandmother calling almost everyday that the son wants to speak to her, the baby daddy coming to see the son and they are discussing for hours, the baby-daddy family calling over the son, being in a competition with 2 others , having to deal with the insecurity of whether they are fucking when meeting over 'their son etc.


Now imagine having to deal with none of these.


When I travelled abroad and told her I am not sure I could do 'long-distance stuffs, you can guess who she has been cohabiting with since then. The same "Lowlife she hated".

The worst choice a single man can do is date or marry a single mother. Let baby-daddies and baby-mamas deal with themselves. You can always get single women who aren't "After-One".
