Anyone coming into Melbourne this June should holla me.

Response to some questions raised.

I'm in Melbourne. Rmit .

Yes I didn't know how to drive before leaving Nigeria. The last assignment in Nigeria was to learn driving.

Driving here is not about obeying the traffic light. There are other things u must observe as a driver else u will be fined. Back in Nigeria we don't always belt up.


Public Transport system here is not all that good. Sometimes I get a job to resume at 5.45am and the train starts at 5.25am. How can I get to a far distance of 1hr 30mins under 20mins. Whoever has money for car should get one upon arrival.

Next question.

My certification includes
White card( construction
Fire safety cert
Food handling
First aid certificate
Other checks are police check, working with children check.

1.Whoever is coming here should come with enough energy not just money or eguisi.

2. U ve two options if u are a man. Locate an African church or locate any fat oyibo woman.
I ve both .


3. If u are a handsome man in Nigeria that use to like to rub powder. Just thruway that powder because u are not coming here to form fine boy or pink lips but to hustle because u must pay bills.

4. Be rest assured that u must triumph here. Australia is a land of victory and opportunities. Cast away ur fears


so what options do u have as a woman.

Now we making it sound like slave trade. No work is easy plus going outside your country to another mans land no be joke. There is a task ahead of you if you are going to pay your fees and bill so brace up. People in Nigeria too cry at some point when they work. The price to pay for progress is not one u pay and smile. It is well bro. Joining you soon.

From my findings i think both are very ok but Syndney should have more jobs cos its the most populated city but cost of living is on the high side.

It's not really slave trade thing but it's an advice to each and every one of us coming to Australia. As for me, I'm ever ready cos my job before in UAE no be play oo... I work almost two years 14 hours duty daily Mon-Sun with no single day off! Now I haven't seen where in the world I would find hard work a difficult task. Let's get prepared my people

There are security jobs. But you need to do a certificate training and get your security card before you can work security shifts. At the last time I checked in WA, it cost about $1100. That's for the 3 - 4 weeks full time training and the security card.

I don't think you can combine the 3 weeks training with studies except you decide to skip lectures and tutorials for the full 3 weeks. Students who usually do it either come early or wait till the break.

Another thing is, you need to find a good agency to register with to get enough shifts. There should be more of night and weekend shifts. Plus it's usually more busy for security officers during the summer. That's when there are lots of outdoor activities. But at the same time, that's when all the students are also available to work full time and pick as many shifts.

Concerning 'carry muscle come' or be hardworking etc, like someone said earlier on, Australians can be strong and hardworking. There is also dignity of labour. In Nigeria, Trades men (bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics) may be looked down upon because of lack of formal education or whatever reason. In Australia, the trades men are 'king'. They go to Tafe and get their diplomas or certificates. Some are trained thru apprenticeship. They also make more money that the average 'office worker'.

So this is what usually happens, a bricklayer may get a small job to do some block work. He discovers he needs 2 labourers to assist him. He calls the agency and the agency calls you asking if you are available to work. There is a job for 3 days bla bla bla and they would pay you $22 dollars per hour. You, looking for shifts jumps at the offer not knowing its blocks you are going to carry. If you have done manual labour before, it won't be difficult, if not you would struggle compared to the tradesman who has been doing it for years.

There is also the fact that if they are paying you, they expect you to be working. No time to press phone, sit idle or cross the road to gist with your friend except you are on break which would most likely be unpaid.
