Hi
Please I need more information about this Sweden. I have eyes on that place but information about the country as a whole is rather quite difficult as I've tried both Google, nairaland, quora to no avail. Please I'll like first hand info about the area

Worthy of interest .. what's the living conditions like
The academic environment
How easy is the visa process and
Cost of living in the area.

I hope I'm not asking for too much.

Any link or thread would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Lol gamblers! These Finns gamble a lot...They have an opposite view of wealth and riches...They generally believe that the only way they can get rich is via winning big on lotto...What a poor mentality....Can’t blame them though, with the bills to be paid and taxes alone angry

1. Yes there are limits to the student account, I remember mine was around 150k that time. But it's no big deal because, any amount fit enter inside until you will want to make a withdrawal. You can always resolve it by just presenting your passport and they will upgrade it. From my experience at least.

2. So far, the merger with access has no effect whatsoever. Nothing has changed for both customers. So you're good.

3. If you have an online banking ID with the bank already then its not really difficult but if you don't then I'm afraid if its gonna work because the bank sets your banking ID tied to the particular phone you use to do your banking transactions.

P.S: If you already have account with Fidelity and you still dey with the naija Sim you used to open it there, you fit still use normal SMS run transactions I think.

P.S.S: I use android, I don't know if I can screenshot the android version for you.

Umm, it is. Fluent french speaker here. Duolingo is good for beginners and familiarizes the learner with the language. The major thing with Duo is VOCABULARY. You also learn how to say necessary phrases like "I want to eat" or "The time is ...".

Download Duolingo guys.

Just to add this:
If you want to learn German, French, Italian and Spanish, then download "Paul Nobles" books on these languages,type this on the Google search "Paul Noble Learn German.pdf". After that, go to PlayStore and download "German Dictionary", "French Dictionary", pls note that these dictionaries are product of the Wikitionary Project, of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Okay here was my secret: When I was still in Nigeria and was sure that I will migrate to Finland in a year, I began learning Finnish on my own during my free time off hustle in Lagos via Youtube, google translate, and tasteoffinnish website...I had a book where i learned so many and taught myself up to around 50% by the time I touched down Finland... grin So start by learning the basics, almost everything is easier these days because of the internet, but it all boils down to motivation...Also in Finland, I have my Naija/African crew in Vaasa Of Course, but I made sure i kept a Finnish crew too whom I speak the language strictly with, the only way to actually master a new language is by speaking it continually regardless of errors, at the moment I am around 85% and I want to learn Spanish now cos of my football agent thingy cheesy

Basically, the student account has a limit on the amount you can withdraw per transaction and/or per day
Based on the deposit, your deposit are safe I believe



You'll have to upgrade the student account to a standard account with a valid ID (your international passport can serve) and utility bill (like NEPA).


SO, WHEneVER YOU TOUCH DOWN, you can approach your bank and you'll be properly guided.


Hope this helps
