boss, im not comparing the 2 ooo. Ofcourse for me to hav decided to cross over to Finland. I am a 500level Medical student in OAU but i dont mind starting afresh in Finland if i get admission today. I am just fed up with Nigeria. I intend to do Physioterapy over there so i just want to start the processing. I checked google. A link said all i need is TOEFL while another one said SAT (BIOLOGY). So i am just confused.

I graduated from OAU. Bros finish ur MBB o....I don't know much about Undergrad things o.

Please,anytime we ask questions here concerning Finland, always try to help with an answer, thats why the thread was created. Most times when you direct us to Google to check for the info, its always too cumbersome but for people that are already there, you can just give us the basic things needed. Eg. I saw it on google that i will need between 600 - 800 Euro for sustainance over there per month. When i calculated the amount for a whole year, i couldnt but wonder why they now call it tuition free. The money is enough for both tuition, feeding and accomodation in a good private School in Nigeria. But for those of you that are already there, you would hav known by now if one would truely need up to that amount or not.

Oga boss abeg no ever compare naija education with Finland..... I dey beg u abeg.... I attended one of the best university in Nigeria and i have only been in Finland for over a week and the difference is clear.

Some questions have been overflogged here. If you do a good research via google u might be directed to the page on this thread.

Before you ask a question read the thread properly abeg.... take out 5 hours in a weekend an read through the thread.

I dey kinda busy i would have done an analysis to prove ur assumption above to be very wrong relating to cost.

What stage are u in with respect to your plans on studying in Finland?

diggy4real:
Please sm1 should answer.

Bros!!! I actually saw your question but i give am blind pass.... most of the things that you asked about can be found in 3mins if you do a proper research. I am in a very good mood today and hopefully United will make me more happy. I will provide a link where u can get answers to most of your questions.

Lemme start with cost of living..... the minimum amount that can sustain you is shown below with some analysis

1. Apartment from TOAS (one room in a 3 bedroom shared apartment per month) - 280 euros including facility fees
2. Lunch at the campus - 2.60 euro per meal .. multiplied by 20 days....................52 euros per month
3. Bus card incase u wan go City Centre or other places.... around 50 euros per month in Tampere
4. To buy food stuffs for preparing breakfast and dinner..... 150 euros.... just an estimate... mayb in 3 months time i can come up with a more accurate amount

TOTAL....532 EUROS

Money for heineken, stout and co never enter o... a glass of beer na around 8.00 to 11.50 euros o. So if u b brewery na u sabi o

All transactions in the account statement presented are from my other bank accounts and i never used sponsor

How do i tackle this?
Help please

1. Get a bank statement from ur bank from 1/7/2015 to the latest possible date.

2.For every major deposit (50K and above, if you have more of bulk deposits).. in your bank statement stating the following, the amount, date it was deposited and the source see example below

#200,000 2/8/2015 - The deposit of #200,000 represents salary for the month of July 2015 received from my employer. See attached payslip for details.

I can help better if u provide a robust background on d history of the deposits in your bank statement.

3. If you transferred funds from one of your bank to the one you submitted provide the bank statement of the other account.

4. You have to be very careful with this one.... MIGRI has raised a red flag concerning d deposit of #500,000 in your bank statement on 28/05/2015 please provide the true nature of this deposit, i can advise you on the best possible way to explain the deposit.

texazzpete:
Rubbish

These clowns keep making the fundamental mistakes many Nigerians do...trying to enforce how private individuals or companies spend their own money.

The LMC will not invest in better cameras for their stadia, will not invest in security to make the experience of live stadium visits salubrious. They will not pay players well to retain talent. They will not provide adequate protection for refs.

Yet they want Nigerians to come and watch the local league.

Enough of this silly and stoopid pseudo-patriotism. Make your games more palatable to watch and people will come. As long as they continue to try to invest the least amount of money while expecting miraculous returns, nothing will change!

It is obvious that tou have not being following the League this season. There is a significant improvement in the areas of playing surface, referee protection/harassment. The home team must win syndrome is now history. There have been about 5 to 10 away victories this season.
With respect to cameras, the league is been covered by DSTV with moderate cameras. I concur with your points concerning retention of talents it is very important.
Clubs should not b managed by state governments and d general stadium experience should b worked on.

GeneXY:
@ olabode...pls hw long did it take u to get ur RP card after u sent ur passport to the embassy

TruMaster:


My guy wetin you dey talk? Has man uniteds defence not bin wack 4 close to 2 seasons now? Did you see how many chances spurs had? And is daley blind a central defender? So because he had a semi good performance against spurs you are now saying he should be the 1 in defence against arsenal,chelsea,city and all thru the champions lig? My guy you are the ONLY 1 on this thread that thinks man uniteds defence makes sense! If na lie make you ask? We need at least 1 world class defender becuz all the ones we have are mostly injury prone and average! End of

You are not getting the point. The midfield needs improvement, that was clear for over two seasons but based on yesterday's match if d defence can be organised with Smalling making good challenges and stepping up to assist Blind we might not need to shell out millions for a new CB. For ur info Blind has played as a LCB in a 3 man defence so yesterday was not his first rodeo. Being a CB is not all about brawn, he showed some intelligent plays yesterday snuffing out balls and his excellent passing ability. If i were u i would worry more about having an impotent and sluggish CF in Rooney and Plato playing Mata/Memphis out of position.

TruMaster:


Well that was the nerviest 3 points I've seen on an opening day in old trafford! @ least we no get losing start like last season! What was rooney doing abeg? He almost did not want to score the goal before dat spurs defender come show am how dem dey do am! Mattias dramain was my man of the match, schneiderlin don get jersey by force 4 midfield wit his merciless tackling, bastian showed sum class wen he came on with his raking passes, depay na all action dude but he faded in the 2nd half but still had a solid debut, that central defence is still wack! If lvg does not adress it we are done! And already that goat phil jones is out for a month! Romero was also solid so de gea can bounce abeg! Good win and sour day 4 chelsea as usual! Na only begovic go dey smile 4 dat team!

So based on yesterday's match the central defence was wack?? Na wa for u o. Smalling had a very very good match. Blind was shaky initially but grew into d match. Blind offers d ball playing ability that is rare to find in a defender.

Ebunolorun:
hi guys, a shocker tho, I got rejected now, based on contradictory source of fund (got money from my cousin which I didn't use as a sponsor)
so what do u guys think?

It was written that I can appeal, but I don't know how that operates and d method of appealing sef, I don't understand.

Also, I was told I can start all over by applying for d residence permit. Op it's not too close and won't they think I am being -vely desperate.

Pls quick responses.
If using know how didn't appealing goes, pls say

Thanks!
Good luck to using us all!

Send me a p.m

P.S.... I won't advice you to appeal. I feel your best bet is to study the reason for refusal and structure your residence permit application properly next year. You will need to properly clarify your source of fund next year and counter the reason for refusal this year. If you don't do that the will just use this year as premise for refusal making note to your non-disclosure of your cousin as a sponsor. A simple letter of explanation stating that your cousin was paying back a debt he owes you some months ago would have taken care of the issue.

Do not take this in a bad way but please read through the thread and ask questions if you are not sure about things. All of us dey learn from each other. Pele bro...

adebasket97:
@olabode89 thanks for yday sire

In addition to what you said yday, my sponsor made some withdrawals from his account, 2-5 million withdrawals on the same day that I deposited cash, also some are a day or 2days to the day I made cash deposits, can I quote these withdrawals on his account?

I mean I fit say he gave me the cash to deposit.

Yes.... You can make reference to some of your deposits say around 450K and say the remaining 470K deposits are from an informal cooperative saving scheme that is popular in Nigeria among young workers, traders and artisans.

adebasket97:
