Please how complicated and guaranteed is this renewal process for study visas within Australia?


It's not complicated at all, you just go through the process online, so long as you meet the requirement for continued stay - in my case, I enrolled for another programme of study.

Do Nigerians now apply online for Australian Visa? Please enlighten us incase we don't know. It's paper application I know of which is solely submitted through Teleperformance in Lagos or Abuja.


Sorry, I guess I got carried away since I just completed my visa renewal from within Australia. Yes, you're quite right, its paper applications through Teleperformance. Then again, I think you should have an immiaccount because I had one opened for me by my agent, then.

Culture / Re: Yoruba Obas: I Stand By My Ranking — Alake by nrdgeek: 1:00pm On Feb 10, 2016
9jacrip:



I suppose when you become richer or break newer grounds than your father, your family will then re-arrange the positions by putting you before your father because he did nothing other than give birth and you are the important one because you broke new grounds, yes?

Your analogy does not stand when challenged by accurate facts. The Oooni does not even come close to the place of a 'father' in this supposed 'family analogy'. When Oranyan left Ife in an expedition against Mecca, he left all his treasures in Ife and made the High priest, Adimu 'caretaker' of the throne and the royal charms. Note that the Ooni is not even of the bloodline of Oduduwa or Oranmiyan, for that matter.

Here's an excerpt from Samuel Johnson, History of the Yorubas, one of the earliest and forthright accounts of Yoruba history:

When Oranmiyan was sufficiently strong, he set off for an expedition against "Mecca" to which he summoned his brothers, to avenge the death of their great-grand- father, and the expulsion of his party from that city. He left Adimu one of his father's trusty servants in charge of the royal treasures and the charms, with a strict injunction to observe the customary worship of the national gods Idi and Orisa Osi. This is an office of the greatest importance pertaining to the King himself • but how slaves or high servants are often entrusted with the duties of the master himself is well-known in this country as we shall see in the course of this history.

... continued ...

To return, however, to Ile Ife was too humiliating to be thought of, and hence he consulted the King of Ibariba near whose territory he was then encamping as to where he should make his residence. Tradition has it, that the King of Ibariba made a charm and fixed it on a boa constrictor and advised Orafiyan to follow the track of the boa and wherever it remained for 7 days and then disappeared, there he was to build a town. Oranmiyan and his army followed his directions and went after the boa up to the foot of a hill called Ajaka where the reptile remained 7 days, and then disappeared. According to instructions Oranmiyan halted there, and built a town called Oyo Ajaka. This was the ancient city of Oyo marked in ancient maps as Eyeo or Katunga (the latter being the Hausa term for Oyo) capital of Yarriba (see Webster's pronouncing Gazetteer). This was the Eyeo visited by the EngHsh explorers Clapperton and the Landers.

Orafiyan remained and prospered in the new home, his decendants spread East, West, and South-west ; they had a free communication with Ile Ife, and the King often sent to Adimu for whatever was required by him out of the royal treasures for the new city. In process of time Adimu made himself great because he was not only the worshipper of the national deities, but also the custodian and dispenser of the King's treasures, and he was commonly designated "Adimu Ola" i.e. Adimu of the treasures, or Adimu 1^ i.e. Adimu is become wealthy.

But this Adimu who became of so much consequence from his performing royal functions was originally the son of a woman condemned to death, but being found at the time of execution to be in the way of becoming a mother she was temporarily reprieved, until the child was born. This child at its birth was dedicated to the perpetual service of the gods, especially the god Obatala, to which his mother was to have been sacrificed. He was said to be honest, faithful and devoted to the King as to his own father, and therefore he was loved and trusted.

When Adimu was announced to the Kings and Princes all around as the person appointed by the King to take charge of the treasures, and to worship the national deities during his absence, it was generally asked "And who is this Adimu? The answer comes "Omo Oluwo ni" the son of a sacrificial victim: this is contracted to Owoni (Oluwo being the term for a sacrificial victim). So in subsequent years when the seat of government was removed permanently to Oyo but not the National Deities, Adimu became supreme at He Ife and his successors to this day
have been termed the Olorisas i.e. high priests or fetish worshippers to the King, and people of the whole Yoruba nation. The name Adimu has since been adopted as the agnomen, and the term Owoni (Ooni) , as the title of the " Kings " or more properly the high priests of Ife to this day, the duties of the office being not local or tribal, but national.

We don't want any revisionist history, please.

Politics / Mind Blowing: How Most Of Colonial Europe Financially Raped Their Colonies by nrdgeek: 7:31am On Nov 30, 2015
Colonialism is one of those things you’re not supposed to discuss in polite company – at least not north of the Mediterranean. Most people feel uncomfortable about it, and would rather pretend it didn’t happen.

In fact, that appears to be the official position. In the mainstream narrative of international development peddled by institutions from the World Bank to the UK’s Department of International Development, the history of colonialism is routinely erased. According to the official story, developing countries are poor because of their own internal problems, while western countries are rich because they worked hard, and upheld the right values and policies. And because the west happens to be further ahead, its countries generously reach out across the chasm to give “aid” to the rest – just a little something to help them along.

If colonialism is ever acknowledged, it’s to say that it was not a crime, but rather a benefit to the colonised – a leg up the development ladder.

But the historical record tells a very different story, and that opens up difficult questions about another topic that Europeans prefer to avoid: reparations. No matter how much they try, however, this topic resurfaces over and over again. Recently, after a debate at the Oxford Union, Indian MP Shashi Tharoor’s powerful case for reparations went viral, attracting more than 3 million views on YouTube. Clearly the issue is hitting a nerve.

The reparations debate is threatening because it completely upends the usual narrative of development. It suggests that poverty in the global south is not a natural phenomenon, but has been actively created. And it casts western countries in the role not of benefactors, but of plunderers.

When it comes to the colonial legacy, some of the facts are almost too shocking to comprehend. When Europeans arrived in what is now Latin America in 1492, the region may have been inhabited by between 50 million and 100 million indigenous people. By the mid 1600s, their population was slashed to about 3.5 million. The vast majority succumbed to foreign disease and many were slaughtered, died of slavery or starved to death after being kicked off their land. It was like the holocaust seven times over.

What were the Europeans after? Silver was a big part of it. Between 1503 and 1660, 16m kilograms of silver were shipped to Europe, amounting to three times the total European reserves of the metal. By the early 1800s, a total of 100m kg of silver had been drained from the veins of Latin America and pumped into the European economy, providing much of the capital for the industrial revolution. To get a sense for the scale of this wealth, consider this thought experiment: if 100m kg of silver was invested in 1800 at 5% interest – the historical average – it would amount to £110trn ($165trn) today. An unimaginable sum.

Europeans slaked their need for labour in the colonies – in the mines and on the plantations – not only by enslaving indigenous Americans but also by shipping slaves across the Atlantic from Africa. Up to 15 million of them. In the North American colonies alone, Europeans extracted an estimated 222,505,049 hours of forced labour from African slaves between 1619 and 1865. Valued at the US minimum wage, with a modest rate of interest, that’s worth $97trn – more than the entire global GDP.

Right now, 14 Caribbean nations are in the process of suing Britain for slavery reparations. They point out that when Britain abolished slavery in 1834 it compensated not the slaves but rather the owners of slaves, to the tune of £20m, the equivalent of £200bn today. Perhaps they will demand reparations equivalent to this figure, but it is conservative: it reflects only the price of the slaves, and tells us nothing of the total value they produced during their lifetimes, nor of the trauma they endured, nor of the hundreds of thousands of slaves who worked and died during the centuries before 1834.

These numbers tell only a small part of the story, but they do help us imagine the scale of the value that flowed from the Americas and Africa into European coffers after 1492.

Then there is India. When the British seized control of India, they completely reorganised the agricultural system, destroying traditional subsistence practices to make way for cash crops for export to Europe. As a result of British interventions, up to 29 million Indians died of famine during the last few decades of the 19th century in what historian Mike Davis calls the “late Victorian holocaust”. Laid head to foot, their corpses would stretch the length of England 85 times over. And this happened while India was exporting an unprecedented amount of food, up to 10m tonnes per year.

British colonisers also set out to transform India into a captive market for British goods. To do that, they had to destroy India’s impressive indigenous industries. Before the British arrived, India commanded 27% of the world economy, according to economist Angus Maddison. By the time they left, India’s share had been cut to just 3%. The same thing happened to China. After the Opium Wars, when Britain invaded China and forced open its borders to British goods on unequal terms, China’s share of the world economy dwindled from 35% to an all-time low of 7%.

Meanwhile, Europeans increased their share of global GDP from 20% to 60% during the colonial period. Europe didn’t develop the colonies. The colonies developed Europe.

And we haven’t even begun to touch the scramble for Africa. In the Congo, to cite just one brief example, as historian Adam Hochschild recounts in his haunting book King Leopold’s Ghost, Belgium’s lust for ivory and rubber killed some 10 million Congolese – roughly half the country’s population. The wealth gleaned from that plunder was siphoned back to Belgium to fund beautiful stately architecture and impressive public works, including arches and parks and railway stations – all the markers of development that adorn Brussels today, the bejewelled headquarters of the European Union.

We could go on. It is tempting to see this as just a list of crimes, but it is much more than that. These snippets hint at the contours of a world economic system that was designed over hundreds of years to enrich a small portion of humanity at the expense of the vast majority.

This history makes the narrative of international development seem a bit absurd, and even outright false. Frankie Boyle got it right: “Even our charity is essentially patronising. Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day. Give him a fishing rod and he can feed himself. Alternatively, don’t poison the fishing waters, abduct his great-grandparents into slavery, then turn up 400 years later on your gap year talking a lot of shite about fish.”

We can’t put a price on the suffering wrought by colonialism. And there is not enough money in the world to compensate for the damage it inflicted. We can, however, stop talking about charity, and instead acknowledge the debt that the west owes to the rest of the world. Even more importantly, we can work to quash the colonial instinct whenever it rears its ugly head, as it is doing right now in the form of land grabs, illicit financial extraction, and unfair trade deals.

Shashi Tharoor argued for a reparations payment of only £1 – a token acknowledgement of historical fact. That might not do much to assuage the continued suffering of those whose countries have been ravaged by the colonial encounter. But at least it would set the story straight, and put us on a path towards rebalancing the global economy.

omooba2015:
Good Morning to you all,
Please help, I m asking this questions on behalf off my brother....
(1) He graduated with Bsc in law and he want to do Master in Law or in any Criminal course that have 2yrs.
(2) Any body with information on school in regional area that offer 2yrs master programs in law.
@equlibrium, surveyor1, FutureDon, mrnilobrawn,erictack203, and others gurus on the thread.
N:B.. Please advice me, he only saw 1.5yrs program, and he want 2yrs program so that he can eligible for his PR... Pls what can we do . Help... God bless you all. Happy sunday


Let me just do a big favour: if you, or any other person intends to study Law to get a PR in Australia, please do yourself a favour and apply for a Juris Doctor (JD) instead of a Masters. A Masters will not qualify you to be admitted into any Supreme Court in Australia but a JD will. You need to be admitted to practice as a lawyer in Australia before you can be issued a 'Skilled Migration Letter' by any State Legal Admission Authority (SLAA). I and a few other people made the mistake of coming here for a Masters. Some changed to JD midway and others just got discouraged. Anyway, the JD is also a postgraduate course, it is for a 3 year duration, but you can apply for a credit transfer from your intended university. If successful, this may reduce the duration to 2 years. Whatever the case, please always call the school and have a chat with someone or, at least, send them an email. Believe me, you are better off getting all relevant info from university program representatives themselves.

In the alternative, you can simply apply for academic, and Legal Practice Course, exemptions directly from Nigeria. That way, the SLAA of the State or territory you desire will advise you on the number and kind of course you must complete to be admitted to the Supreme court. Once advised, you may proceed to complete the courses in any of the accredited universities listed by the SLAA or, like in the case of the New South Wales Legal Practitioners Admission Board (LPAB) in Sydney, you may complete the required courses by enrolling and studying for the Board's own Diploma in Law course. I guarantee you that the Board's Diploma course is way cheaper but it doesn't qualify you for a visa. This means you will have to study as a correspondence and fly over to Sydney to complete your exams. Any which way, it will cost quite some cheddars.

Please don't mind my replying here even though you have sent me a private mail. By so doing, I hope to fore warn any other person contemplating studying a Masters in Law for PR. You see, most education agents fail to let candidates know this fact. Whether it is intentional or an oversight, by God who made me, I do not know. But what I can tell you is that those of us here down-under have since stumbled on the knowledge that universities in Australia pay agents a commission - out of the very expensive fees paid by each student they recommend to their university. So you see, the more students they direct there, or even better, the more expensive your fees, the better for your agents. My mistake has cost me some $37,000 (AUD) in tuition fee for a 1yr Masters at UNSW. But it's all good, I've applied for the JD and got the whole 1yr of Master subtracted from JD years. Bye and large, this advice is worth $37,000 (AUD) in mistake! Now, how about that for some candid reflection. By the way, I will still reply your mail as I have LadyGuinivere's.

God speed with your aspirations and all you lay your hands on.

Peace, love and light

Windhoek is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Namibia. The heart of Namibia, Windhoek possesses a unique charm due to its harmonious blend of African and European cultures and the friendliness of its people (Quoted from cityofwindhoek.org.na/). Central Windhoek is a 'surprisingly modern, well-groomed city' where office workers lounge around Zoo Park at lunchtime, tourists funnel through Post St Mall admiring African curios and taxis whizz around honking at potential customers. In fact, first impressions confirm that the city wouldn’t look out of place in the West. (Quoted from lonelyplanet.com).

Greetings to the e-family,please I need advice from this noble house, my wife and I are Legal Practitioners, with 5 years post call. In addition, I have a proficiency certificate in management from Nigeria Institute of Manageria in 2007 and Project Management Professional(PMP) in 2014, and my wife just got her Nebosh IGC this year. Now, we wish to migrate to OZ but do not really know which of the visa class will be favourable. Please advice us. Thanks and God bless you all.

You will have to really do your homework very well if you want to immigrate to Australia as a lawyer - by that I mean you should read a lot on the topic. Believe me, it is quite tedious and may cost you a lot of money but besides that, it is possible. The following excerpt, from the link posted by NNBB2012, summarily explains the process as it applies to foreign lawyers (Please note that it was addressed to a UK qualified lawyer):

As a lawyer you will of course be able to read the applicable Migration Regulations from which you will note that what is required is a positive skills assessment. The legislation does not explicitly require you to be admitted as a lawyer in Australia before you can be granted a 189 visa, but does require you to have a positive skills assessment, amongst other things. So, really the question is whether you can get a positive skills assessment without having been admitted as a lawyer in Australia. You have mentioned that you intend to apply for a skills assessment from either Queensland or New South Wales. On the Legal Profession Admission Board of NSW website,it says:

Therefore, in order to obtain a "Skilled Migration Letter", a person will need to have overseas qualifications assessed in accordance with the Board's Rules and the Uniform Principles for Assessing Qualifications of Overseas applicants for admission and then be admitted as a lawyer.

I think you are very unlikely to get a positive skills assessment from NSW without having been admitted as a lawyer in Australia, and I have heard that QLD is even more difficult than NSW, but the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board's advice on their website (quoted above) is not an accurate statement of the legislative requirements set out in the Migration Regulations. That said, it won't help you obtain a positive skills assessment from them, which is what you need. If you can obtain a positive skills assessment from a State Law Admission Authority in Australia based on your current qualifications and experience, then admission in Australia as a lawyer is not a prerequisite to applying for a 189 visa.

For the 189 visa, you will see from the regulations that there are criteria to be met at time of application and at time of grant. The regulations do not provide for meeting the criteria within a timeframe after grant.

In order to be admitted as an Australian lawyer, you will be required to complete some academic subjects and also some PLT (practical legal training) subjects. For the academic part, I am not aware of any possibility of sitting the exams in London and certainly not online (for the exams... though study online may be possible), but for the PLT part, I think the College of Law does have the option of sitting the PLT exams in the UK.
http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/211160-solicitor-applying-visa-189-skills-assessment.html

A colleague of mine just got his qualifications assessed by NSW LPAB, he is required to sit for 13 courses! When you consider it, it is similar to studying for the 3yr JD program. UTS is however arranging a boutique 2yr Masters course that will encompass these subjects. After he is done in two years, he will then be able to sit for the Practical Legal Training Course (PLT) - that's like going to the Law School all over again. I'm not too thrilled to apply for my assessment as it is - I will be doing so anyway as soon as I have the money. I'm not saying this to scare you. You see, the agents who encouraged us to apply for Masters here didn't warn us that the road to PR for lawyers, unlike the other professions, was going to be long and expensive. But what can I say, I have laid my hands on the plow, there is no looking back now.

Best wishes in your quest for PR.

Politics / Gabriel Suswam, Segun Aganga And PDP Chieftain Tony Anenih Flee Nigeria by nrdgeek: 4:26am On May 30, 2015
A Nigerian minister, Segun Aganga, PDP chieftain, Tony Anenih and the Governor of Benue state, Gabriel Suswam today departed Nigeria on a British Airways flight out of the Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport apparently to avoid getting caught. The three were last seen boarding the BA flight scheduled for an 8:00am departure to London. Sahara Reporters Media

SaharaReporters learnt that more party officials and President Goodluck Jonathan’s aides, ministers and several appointees have either fled or planning to flee the country afraid that incoming President Muhammad Buhari will probe the administration of Mr. Jonathan and jail those found guilty of corruption. Last week, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-madueke traveled on the same flight with Buhari to London, while on the six hour trip she made several attempt to start a conversation with Mr. Buhari, but the 72-old winner of Nigeria's presidential election known for his no-nonsense stance on corruption rebuffed all her entreaties. It is not known if she ever returned to Nigeria.

The wife of the Mr. Suswam, Yemisi, reportedly left yesterday to Houston in the US to avoid getting caught up in the sweep.
