Hello bossladymo, i also applied for student visa. Please how do i know emedical results is cleared? The status reads "completed" for all the tests for about one week now but havent heard from my CO yet.

If it says completed ur visa will hit ur email any second now. Just make sure u check ur email every working day onwards from 10am to 2pm that's when the golden bullet hits u. Cheers

Hilarious, I like that name Golden bullet.
God please hit me with golden bullet.

You can say that again! We sold my husband's car 2 days back for a low price...but hey!, we have no choice...better ones will come.

Imagine someone pricing a 2007 Toyota Hiace bus bought just 2 yrs ago, and in very good condition, for 1.2m....like seriously...people are wicked. Thats way lesser than half of the original price o!

Now to sell things like our LCDs, Air Cons, Home Theatre....I'm already fearing the nonsense pricing people will price them. I taya!

with all this riches still want to leave them and relocate to Australia. If i am in your shoes, i will go to australia collect the pr and return back to my base. I heard that the grass is not that green over there.

Which riches kwa?

There comes a time when the amount of money you have does not matter....rest of mind, quality of life and a good environment for children's growth and learning superceeds!

I would rather earn NGN50,000 but live in a sane environment, than earn NGN100,000 in a place where O have to supply the basic amenities of life myself (Must buybgen before you have constant electricity, must dig your own borehole to have constant water, must earn a shtload of money before your kids can get quality education....and must have even more money before your kids can get a universally accepted degree)

Obviously, you are still single....priorities change when you have a family to think about.

Although, you didn't address this post to me but I will like to correct an erroneous impression. Not everyone seeking to relocate is doing so because of money. Money shouldn't be the motivating factor for everything someone does. If money is, then the person is very very poor and cannot be RICH no matter the amount of money s/he has.

There is something called quality of life. Have you ever wondered why the UN rates life expectancy for sane countries higher than that of "insane" countries like ours? It is not because they have more money but because they have an organised society that allows growth, healthy environment, competitions, equal opportunities etc (I am not saying they have a perfect environment but they have a process you can exploit to your advantage all things being equal).

Some dreams can be achieved in a particular location because it is where such dreams are encouraged and empowered to be actualized.

Many reasons I can tell you aside money for why people relocate but time wouldn't permit. So my brother, it is not about making more money. If it is, Nigeria is one of the easiest places on Earth to hit millions.

Word!!!

Both of you are correct but i will still maintain my word, if i am in her shoes with all this millions am hearing i will not think of leaving this sweet country. I also want to travel because i dont have job if not, i cant go to a foreign land and start life afresh. How many years remaining for me on earth. I have seen people who won american visa and still ignore it that they are better off in Nigeria. In your university count how many lecture you have, most of them studied abroad but they are living in Nigeria, you didnt ask them why because you want quality education for your children while some even have children in abroad and bring them back to Nigeria for quality training. Even if i eventually travel, its for temporary though.

All this children am hearing while not train them where they can know you, marry good wife and husband as case may be instead of training them for their govt. Or you never know that your child will belong to govt not you proper

young dude....pls get enlightened & change ur orientation....life ain't all about money......if Nigeria works for u...fine.....d person putting on d shoes knows best where it hurts....my humble advice.

bossladyMo, MisterNRC, bellong, How can I apply for work in Australia while still here in Nigeria?

bossladyMo:


You can visit the website of your choice bank. You can choose either ANZ, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank etc. Ensure theybhave enough branvhes in your intended location.

Just visit their website...you will see the 'open migrant banking' logo hovering around or in one corner.

I never komot oo, my broda! God bless you too!

sorry, you cannot open commonwealth bank from here, Nigeria isnt listed as one of the acceptable immigrant countries on their website

bossladyMo:


Hmmm....imagine! I feel it all depends on self-control though. Where most people gork is where they spend money they don't habe, just because it is available on their credit card. I know people who are not in any debt (except of course the unavoidable mortgage)...cos they treat their credit card like a debit card. They don't spend what they don't have in their account, and they pay up on time to avoid the interest accruing on it.

true
been a banker/finance advisor for 8years now, your credit is as bad as you make it.
credit cards are actually very vital for credit rating tracking in mature economies, not nigeria.
take one, buy small(and I mean small vital) stuff with it!
You have to actually use it to get the benefits of the ratings that come with it. Then be seen to be paying it off properly and promptly.
Its one of the 1st things I would advise anyone to get once you leave these shores, IF YOUR HEAD IS SCREWED ON RIGHT THAT IS!!!

chookudi:
Another advice for people coming over here. If you have any medical (especially dental issues) please get it treated and sorted out in naija before coming over NO MATTER HOW EXPENSIVE it may seem. Cost of dental services here is killing. Imagine a lot of my asian friends having to defer their dental checkups and treatments till school holidays so that they can get cheaper services back home. As has been suggested, if you can stay clear of obtaining a credit card. Banks here have a way of making money out of you when you get one. For those coming to Sydney, get ready to hustle for jobs you probably didnt envisage yourself doing. Job opportunities are getting tighter by the day. For the guys, buy a clipper and learn how to shave yourself (or get someone to teach you). you can potentially save a couple of bucks that can be of great help towards other necessities like accomodation and transport.

omo!
Thanks for this info men, lemi go and scatter my employer dental plan now here in naija before jet out men.
but seriously tho, cost isnt an issue for me, can I upgrade my school negotiated health plan to cover dental matters too? Cos while I hate visiting the dentist, one of the 1st things I wana do when I land is get a total health make over! No be only we politicians foreign health checks good for na! Abi?

Ladies and gentlemen, I jet off 4th February to my base in Perth!
It hasn't been easy in Nigeria, life!
A country where nothing works, my prayer is for my kids to never have to go through what I went through to get where I am.
Anyways, thanks to all who started and kept this forum running, the dictator justwise(take a joke for once in your life man), my mortal enemy jenny(gone offline, still with us in spirit), bossladymo and all the others to numerous to mention.
its a long trip and an even longer life plan(2years msc at my age no b beans men), but having waited for sanity to come to Nigeria, and with no end to that wait in sight, I now leave that wait to more able people like that character that says husband and wife for your unborn children is one of the reasons to stay and wallow in the mediocrity my country has become.
I'm so fecking excited, this is probably the biggest life decision I will ever make, but its time to leave my comfort zone, do something new everyday of my life and actually live!
I will always come here to update all of you of the wonders my eyes will see from the moment I arrive and as I tour Australia,
Viva Oz...

If your health insurance is OSHC then dental treatment is not covered. You can confirm from their website.
