Cmanforall:
Oga, I sent them mail o, no response. (it's more than 3wks).
Na just NOW I say make I check my spam (something I very rarely do), na so their mail just dey collect AC for that section. I'm happy now that my RP card is in 9ja.
Will send my passport tomorrow or next.

I advise people to be checking their spam.

Boss, I never book o. Dunno if to use agent or wakanow. Wch will you use?

Congratz Sir..........Use Wakanow check price first then contact an agent.... go for the cheaper option.

adebasket97:
thanks boss. are these to be written in a letter, or I email them? and will I not be required to upload any from of document relating to the contribution you mentioned

Draft a letter of explanation and upload it as part of the attachment. You can make reference to all the supplementary attachments provided.

I thought about the loophole of them requesting for documentation concerning the contribution.... Lemme think it through and get back to you before tomorrow morning.

ooluseyipa:
@olabode I really appreciate ur sensitivity and d way u tackle @adebasket issue. U give d right summation which is d best. Permit me to ask, are u an auditor?

Smart you.... Yes o... I b auditor with one of the Big 4 audit firms

adebasket97:
@olabode thanks for the swift response

for the deposits, they are all made in cash i.e they are cash deposits. And the cash is from my sponsor but the only problem is the exact same amount is not reflected in his company's account statement. he's the managing director of the company and sole signatory to the company's account.

from the company's account statement their are lots of deposits by customers ranging from 200k-10million and withdrawals by him.

so na when he get cash for hand he dy gv me cash to deposit, no direct transfers from his company account to mine.

as I said earlier

***On 19th may, I deposited 300k in my name in cash,
my sponsor deposited 150k via atm transfer from one of his
accounts.

On may 27th and 28th I deposited cash 430k,
and 207k in my name.

On 12th, 17th, 25th of
june, I deposited 166k,200k,195k, 217k in my sponsors name All these
are cash deposit.***

I did a quick summation and arrived at the following;
Your sponsor deposited - 928K
You deposited - 937K

For your sponsor you can say the source of his deposits is his business venture/company which u have included the financials and statutory documents.

For the ones deposited by you... I suggest you say u are involved in some form of cooperative contributions in which you save some part of the salary you receive in cash from your employee... Although the cash deposits made in your name are quite much, but u can tie/relate the deposits to ur cash salary. make it convincing and logical.

[b]1. Get your bank statement from your bank from 26 June 2015 to today..... scan and send

2. Only include the bank statement if there is a transfer from another of your bank account to the one u presented to MIGRI

3. For this you have to pick all deposits in your account from the period covered by the bank statement that was presented to MIGRI. I will advise that you use the format below;

20 June 2015
N350,000
Amount represents fund transferred to my account by my sponsor Mr Ajigijaga as part of resources to be utilized during my studies. This can also be traced to my Sponsors bank account (if he transferred from his bank) on XX/XX/2015. My sponsors bank statement can be found as part of the documents that have been submitted.

4. Use same format......P.S... I can provide a better suggestion if you provide me with details of the deposits made on the aforementioned dates by MIGRI.

5. Get your sponsors bank statement from 1 March 2015 to today.... Scan and send

6. Since you don't have a payslip get a letter from your Company stating the mode of payment used by the Company.

"My Employer does not issue payslips monthly, Salaries are paid in cash and in line with the details of my employment contract. I have attached a letter from my employer explaining the mode of salary payment and also a copy of my employment letter"

7. If there are other deposits in your account that were not made by you or ur sponsor.... that should fall under this category.[/b]

Bosses in the house, I hail ooooooo!
I am happy to tell u guys that, though it started like a dream but right now gbabe omo na reality. Live from Jyvaskila, the city of midnight sun!

I got to Helsinki around 7:30am yesterday was able to catch a train and head directly to Jyvaskila through the help of the info centre at the airport and of course my beautiful tutor (Valeria). The journey was not as smooth as painted though, I had one or two challenges expected of a jjc normally.

Please pay attention to some of my gist here, don't fall into the pit I had fallen!

Most importantly money: don't borther to change money from any Aboki or bureau de change ooooo if the exchange as at today is more than 251 naira to euro. U can comfortably use ur naira master card and get ur money in Euro at that price and sometimes lesser arround 249 at the ATM machines in Helsinki airport. I used my gt naira MasterCard here and that was the exchange rate with their charges included.

Yellow card: it is a fable! U don't need that shit. I got mine for 1.5k but it was just an extra luggage nobody asked for it or pay any attention to it even when I try to tender it to show off say I get complete document. But if u are not comfortable or to avoid the wahala of immigration for Nija cos they won't stop at nothing to extort u as a first timer!

Buy anything buy able and carry anything carry able cos when u get here u will definitely regreat leaving that stuff u call minor back home. I could not communicate or get some stuff done since yesterday cos my charger na three pin mouth. Here u can only find sockets with two round holes or small three round holes that I am not sure we have similar type in Nija........

Abeg I go continue later ...... Got to attend to something right now. Here dem no de play with punctuality ooooooo

Adex my man!! Nice one.... i know say u don dey eye Valeria... that one sef dey...lols....

Hope you are good bro.... no dull o.... manage ur cash wella o

Ebunolorun:
it's so good listening to our fellowz testimony and experience, ours is soon.
concerning d exchange rate, I was at UBA yday and d exchange rate was 222naira. But earlier last week when I paid for my accommodation in uba d exchange rate was 224.85 therefore a decrease as occurred. If u still feel u want to carry any cash in hand, then visit banks in naija to compare their rates.

Adex, pls throw more light on your on ur food stuffs and how u got sim cards. we are expecting more news from u and u also expect loads of questions from us.
Once more, congrats!

Naija banks are not selling foreign currency anymore as at last week when i checked at GTBank and FCMB. I wanted to change some naira to euros under the personal travel allowance parole...

We hail u back. I pray u have a smooth and successful application too concerning traveling to and fro for ur transcript. No dey do like Omo mummy Hehehe. Find number of one person for there wey u go dey call and make u be of good behaviour to the person. be loyal. You'll be surprised how easy things go be. Na Naija we dey. Wet some palms and have things go ur way. A few thousands in the right hands will make things easier for u.

sureb0y:
Argumentum ad misericandum. You're appealing to pity? Smh. Don't act like the victim here. U popped in here and asked a question I'm sure we've talked about not less than 50 times. We keep saying, do a little research before you ask SPECIFIC questions! No one has time to start writing epistles about how to start from stage 1 to the end all the time. Some things I'd say tho... you want to travel with your wife and kid? Does your wife have a degree too and plan to secure admission? Does your baby have a degree too and plan to secure admission? If you've answered yes to both, then u're good to go. If not, bros... Na to go first, when u don dey okay small, den send for ur wife and kid. I'm not saying it's not possible to go with ur wife and kid, just saying d best way is to try to go alone first so u won't kill urself with pressure unless say u be very rich man sha.
Secondly, u need 6.5 overall bandscore in IELTS (academic not d general one). Please Google some things first to have basic idea of this process or just read our posts from December 2014 till now. All your answers are there. Step 1, go to ur former uni and find out how to get ur transcript sent. That's one of the hardest parts. Na early momo be this and the stupid embassy of finland people dey vex me, na why I dey para small. Sorry if e be like say I dey rude.

Sureb0y my man..... wetin embassy people do u ooo?

Send them a mail.... no bother waste your credit.... the lady wey dey pick call is quite rude.
