Thanks, can I do the application from Nigeria or I av to travel to SA

u can. Or u can come here. But d evaluation of ur certificate must b done from here cus they have to evaluate with ur originals. Coming here will b easier.

gboly3190:
Thanks bro. Pls can u help me find out the school she is doing her degree, and the process involved. Thanks bro

she's doing hers in a private nursing school, they r all acredited. The process isn't that hectic. Their minimun requirement is school cert which will b evaluated by d south african qualifications authority(SAQA). Then immediately its completed, which takes between 10 to 20 working days, u take it back to d nursing school, they'll then process ur apllication,get medical cover, make d necessary payments(u don't have to pay everything at once) then they issue u admission letter which u'll use to apply for ur study permit. When u get ur permit u can open a bank account. Then ur study resumes.

LeSudAfricaine:
Nah man, you are lying hey, Nigerians do live in slums, the whole Berea, Yeovil, Hillbrow area is made up of slums and that's where you find African immigrants the most, and no again there are informal settlements and townships, there two aren't the same, Soweto for instance is not a slum

do u even know the meaning of SLUM? How can u call hillbrow,berea,yeovil as slums? Its like saying harlem in newyork is a slum. Alexandra is a slum that's why they r called townships/informal settlements bcus using d word slum would not b cool. U call a place as well developed as hillbrow,berea and yeaovil slums. Smh

How much would it cost for someone who has a diploma in Nursing to do degree in SA, and how many years would it take. Are their jobs for nurses.

my friend's wife(both nigerians) dey do nursing now. She's in her fourth year now but not at unisa. D thing can cost u between 15 to 20 thousand rand a year(that's over 400thousand naira) but once u finish,job dey well well. My friends wife has been getting employment offers since her second year but she turned them down bcus she wants to go further in studying. She just finished one practical at one hospital and they have given her an open offer for when she finishes her studies or she can start immediately.

I don't c no baby bump. Meanwhile over make up dey worry naija girls.

Do you know bitterness and hate is a major cause of unanswered prayers and a major criteria for the candidacy of Hell Fire ?

Oh My God, Why are u Igbos portraying yourselves as a tribe full of hate, spite, unforgiveness and strife ?

If you allow devil to use this to takeover your heart, God will not say it is because you are being ethnic loyal oh, Your Prayers would not be answered and You risk being a candidate of hell fire.

Common, Be it Biafra, be it, Nigeria, or anywhere, once this one life ends, it is over o. Go and ask Azikiwe, Awolowo, Balewa, and all other fallen heroes whether they are oduduwa or biafrans now. They have left it all.

You guys should learn to shake off hate. My candid advice. i'm not a saint too, but i'm looking past all these now, and that is where i think we are better dn you guys.

good write up and advise until d last statement. U still found a way to tell someone u r giving advise that" u think u r better than him/her/them". Na wao!

The things una dey regard as beautiful sef. Unmarked roads, govt offices, I tire for una my nigerian brothers and sisters, but I guess those of una wey never comot from naija go dey applaud this as development. Smh

Thermodynamics:
What about studying on shot programs in south African UNISA to be precise. How must is the tuition fees for a diploma in Engineering and what about food in SA, how much can one survive in a month, also what are the chances of geting a job in SA for someone holding a South African diploma in Engineering certificate. If you have an idea of any other good shot program or company training that have a high job opportunity in SA please tell me about it. eg like safety and pipeline training some companies do here in Nigeria.

there r a lot of short courses u can do at unisa, there is one for 6 months,one year, 2,3 years. It all depends on what u wanna do. U fit get employment here after studying if u r very good at it. I know some naija pikins who get their own companies(construction)here. Engineering pays here. I bet u, if u stand out academic wise, a lot of construction companies go even dey track u before u finish ur studies. As per d fees for studying at unisa I think google will help u better. The best part is that u don't even have to pay everything cash. U r given a time frame to pay. There are a lot of professional nigerians here doing very well in their fields. No discrimantion whatsoever, if u can deliver, everyone patronises u, blacks,whites,indians,chinese,coloureds.

moski5:
thanks

emmm life partnership whats that?

its another term for live in lovers. Its marriage without actually being married. But u have to go to the lawyers to make it official in the form of notarial agreement whereby d SA citizen agrees to b ur spouse and cater for u and vice versa. But u two have to live together, own stuffs together bcus d immigrations do conduct random checks on u two.

Mykelpato:
can't read all these long epistles

u can't read it but u quoted d whole long epistle. Why didn't u just write what u just wrote instead of qouting everything just to write a sentence? Smh

MRBrownJ:
at last, yeah i have heard about this God forsaken place called Highbrow. but ALL countries around the world have such places. so you mean to say, Nigerians that are desperate or ended up in the streets in SA dont even dream of going to live there?!

hillbrow is not a slum. Hillbrow has one of d best collection of skyscrapers. When u r outside d city of joburg and u take a look at d CBD u'll realise how beautiful it is both during d day and at night. Hillbrow was so nice that when SA blacks got their freedom it was d first place they started living in. The only problem with hillbrow is d people living in hillbrow,they don't keep it as clean as d rest of joburg CBD,there is prostituting going on, a lot of night clubs. What I meant was nigerians don't live in the slums no matter how poor they r.

youngsahito:
Wich city is the best to stay, I mean dat is rilly productive for guyz to wrk n make cool cash?

there a lot of cities in SA where u can stay and make money provided u know what u r doing but for me johannesburg is d number one city. Its like our own lagos. Na for joburg every dey o.

moski5:
how can one get a permit n for how long
Nb is it renewable?

getting a permit here is easy if u have the proper documentation. If u r here to study and u have completed d admission process with ur school and they issue u an admission letter, u take that letter to south african home affairs for a study permit. U also need to have medical cover for this which u can pay for and obtain once u have ur admission letter. It takes less than a month to b issued this permit and for how long is determined by how long ur admission is for. U can also get a permit by marriage or life partnership(a lot of nigerians do this one bcus most of us find it easier). U can do a work permit which requires letter of employment, there is business permit. Most of these permits r issued and r renewable every 2 or 3 years. And if u here for 5 years(they count from d first day u r issued ur first permit) u can now apply for permanent residency. This one na d koko bcus once u get ur permanent residency u r automatically a south african bcus u can now apply for their identity card,citizenship and their passport.

ucheokpara100:
how are u bros? good to know a brother is here.

God is great my brother.

OneNaira6:
I don't live in Nigeria.

Anyway, stay in SA. When they come after you, Don't say noone warned you.

lmaoooo. Guy easy oo! Even other southy people no like the zulus.

themilanway:
I'm about to start a business of mine own here,still comparing and contrasting.

They have never open up to me and i only asked once.

have ur friends visited home in the last five years? Have they built or atleast renovated their family homes? If ur answer is NO then na wash. My guy, if u have d right kind of money there are a lot of businesses u can do here. U can b a car dealer, u can have ur own nightclub or bottle store. That nightclub/bar and bottle store u make huge returns on those cus southy people can drink walahi. Morning, afternoon,night. Infact from dusk till dawn. Besides d environment is nice, southy is not called african europe or europe in africa for nothing.

MRBrownJ:
then where exactly do you think these xenophobic issues are worst? was it not in Johannesburg (and also Durban) that the worst of the worst happened few months ago? is J/burg safe for Africans ?! what was done to fix this lingering issue about these South Africans racists who attack and kill africans (en masse) every few yrs?

btw: you didnt answer my question:" are nigerians labelled as criminals/drug dealers or not (thanks to the little few bad apples)?

let me help that guy cus I also live in joburg. First and foremost d xenophobia attacks happened in places they call locations/townships or basically slums. Nigerians don't live in those slums no matter how koboless they r bcus that's where the worst of the worst in SA live. Some of these slums r pretty close to d highbrow areas. Zimbabweans,malawians stay in those kind of places. FYI those slums r like 5percent of joburg and these attacks on foreigners always happen in such places. Coming to d issue of nigerians and drugs, yes nigerians r seen as drug dealers but if u r not dealing on drugs then u have nothing to worry about, no one will discrimate against u. Eg, I sell cars, I go to auctions or places they sell accident damage cars, I buy one or two cars, fix them up and sell them. Sometimes in a month I sell upto 4 to 5 cars. A lot of nigerians,cameroonians r into that business too. I also do interpretation in law courts here in SA. Basically I am working for d government in a job that no south african can do. There r a lot of nigerians here doing real business, some r realtors, some r into importation,some have restaurants, some run night clubs, some have bottle shops, some r mechanics(if u r a mechanic come to SA,it pays). Bottomline is, if u r not into drugs bizness and u have ur permit, u have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Show us pictures of Airforce1 at his album launch.

is d album ready? Does america know?

ayoolanr:
This dude is such a public f00l....why can't he keep this 5hit private? I mean, if he needs an outlet to vent, why can't he find a close family or friend to vent to?? No common sense!!!

this is no longer private. His family was d first to bring this to d public. What were they trying to achieve by doing that? Adebayor is hurting, let him defend himself publicly bcus his family wanted to discredit him in public. He should cut himself off from them asap.

bigfrancis21:
Yea bro. Very much. Sounds like a regular Igbo catholic hymn you would find in catholic churches in Igbo land.

what's wit this ur catholic this catholic that? When it comes to hymns biko give it to d anglicans. Stop oburubeing abeg.

So mikel earns in a week more than most of these folks make in a year or 2. Entertainment pays.

Can u people please stop putting up genny's pictures? D tin dey disburb me too much "searching for vaseline"

Nowenuse:
Also, based on the 5 major human geographical divisions we have in Nigeria

The Core-northern part of Nigeria, the Middlebelt part, Eastern, Western & Niger deltan

Let's say Margaret Ekpo represents the Niger deltan region as an Ibibio
Ladi Kwali represents the Middlebelt region as a Gbagyi woman
& Funmilayo Kuti represents the Western (yoruba speaking region)

I'd like to hear from Igbos (easternerns) and the Hausa-fulanis (core-northernerns), who are the most influential Igbo & Hausa-fulani women that ever lived??

why do u people always tribalise everything?

jossyj:
Bros don't blame buhari rather blame those ohaneze beggars for all the insults.

I don't even want to go there, those people r a disgrace to d igbo race. Igbos r not sending anybody/groups to beg or lobby on our behalf, whoever does that is on his own. D only group representing d igbos is d one going for BIAFRA.

Baba igbos don't actually care, we have been progressing since 1970 without any federal help. What has d central govt done for d igbos in 5 decades? Nada. Obasanjo did his worst to frustrate d igbos out of importation business but he couldn't. If u like bomb d Trade fair complex or alaba market, give it one year and those igbo traders will erect another shop, stock it full with goods and its bizness as usual. We don't need grants. So baba, do ur worst and make igbos more angry at this entity that is nigeria,be warned.

Wait o, no b that yola airport b this? Ok wait, yola own na my primary school board dem take put up signs written with chalk! Chai! This orijin don dey make me see unclearly.

Baba we gave u a chance based on d promises u made but now I am beginning to see u that u can't keep those promises. We r not asking u to do more than u should, we r only asking that u keep ur promises, chikena. Or is d chance we gave u now turning to #babaonechance??

coolitempa:
iboes n money Wat kind of pipul are these pls let them have their Biafra n leave us alone ooooo.....
