All the dangerous, poisononous, venomous, and any other '........ous' wildliife (which we have all read of and which some people still base their migration decision on ) sure exist in Australia; however, if you don't live too close to bushlands or reserves or in the countryside, chances are you might never come across any of them in decades of living here.

I've only seen live roos along the roadside maybe once or twice, and that was driving at dawn in some regional towns- other times have only been roadkills.

To fulfill your 'citizenship requirements', just visit a wildlife park and touch a roo The ones there are just lounging and won't box you, haha.

I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that. I am also so happy you came out strong and you are able to look back and pick the lessons. it will get better dear. I feel terrible complaining about somethings after reading through your story. I can't imagine myself alone with my baby...you are very strong!!!. God bless you. Hubby and I are dreading daycare for now but once he starts working we will have no option. its so expensive, the day-cares near my house are like $132 per day and in that range. Another fear I have is how my baby will be treated. I know they are nice people here but then again. please what was your experience with the day-care so far? thanks for sharing also...

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
I am not too familiar with this; but i believe if you can indicate that she will be coming for Omugwo and that it is part of your tradition that a lady that just give birth must have her mother looking after her for 3months.

I believe they read widely and should understand that some tribes in Nigeria (i know of East) have such tradition.
And i don't waNt to believe that their "Citizen requested for someone to visit them and they turned the APP down.

Those who has passed such hurdles will soon come online to guide you more.

Any one familiar with the entertainment (standup comedy type of thing) landscape in Sydney or Melbourne? I've got me a veteran of the game, looking to do his thing. Is there a market for it, especially within the Nigerian community? First show will be free. Any ideas or pointers?

Hi Guys,

Am trying to open a NAB account from Naija and i came across this questions(Are you a resident of any other country for tax purposes?) yes or No , when i click yes it took me to another page with this (ou've indicated that you're a resident of one or more countries other than Australia and the U.S.) Do you have a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for this country? Should I to just click No and move on?

And for Commonwealth Bank no place to add our naija number or country.

Please someone should come to my rescue.

Yeeshas:
Hello All,

Its been a little over three months since we came here and we can't be more grateful to God for how He has settled us quickly and in ways we didn't even imagine. Generally its easy to save here as long as you don't live above your means.

I'll stop here and I wish you all the very best.

Michaelamo:
Congrats Omo, where do you reside in Australia?

TookieJ:
Thank you for this inspiring post. There's no better way to encourage one another than sharing such experiences. Big congratulations too .

It's still a distant dream for a number of us - but your post makes it clear that miracles still happen - and everyone doesn't have to follow the same route. Guess the whole idea of emigrating is to take one's destiny in their hands.

If you don't mind, can you share your nominated occupation and city of residence?
