Is there a WhatsApp group for "Sydneysiders"?

I have no idea as I'm just visiting Australia for a few days and will be leaving tomorrow evening. At the moment I'm looking for where to buy stock fish and other African foodstuffs from, by tomorrow.

Still on the accent matter, I have found that its simply less stressful to speak in a way they expect to hear. When I speak normally, even fellow Nigerians might not hear me properly cos I tend to talk lazily, drawl or mumble,..
However when I'm in PTE mode (thats what I call the accent) grin, I don't get complaints.. it becomes even more obvious when I'm tired, I might pick a call at work and start talking normally...... the moment the other person goes "I'm sorry, what?". ,or "I'm sorry I can't hear you properly", instant reset o... I cannot come and be repeating myself because I want to speak in my default accent abeg cheesy

Hello all, I am a newbie on here. I began reading this thread last night and have resumed this morning again....lol
@bellong thank you for all you do on this forum.


My husband and I have decided to relocate with our 3 kids to enable us give them the opportunity for a better life.


I have a B.Sc in Computer science and worked for a bit in customer care and banking before I resigned in 2013. I have been a food entrepreneur eversince so I bake, cater e.t.c and more recently started an online breakfast company, and my husband has a B.Sc in Statistics and has more years of professional work experience than I do. He is currently at a Solar energy company where he's their Country Program Manager. Who in your experience/opinion is more suited to be the principal applicant for a PR VISA?

Thank you.

Yes I have a work visa. It is assumed the company offering you a job is willing to sponsor you thus they apply to sponsor you alongside a visa application for you and if approved you are issued the visa so technically you don't apply for the visa

thanks for the info.

Mine is a 2yr visa. I didn't register with any of the above. Just PRs can I think. I was told after 3years with same employer you can apply for PR using the employer as sponsor. I haven't considered PR yet.

I don’t know about Egyptair. I used Turkish airline and it was really good.
Are you coming from Lagos?
Hello Iskabaa. I am also considering Turkish airlines and I'm glad I came across your post. Could you please say more about your experience with Turkish airlines especially with regards to the layovers. I read about the tour in Turkey as well. How was the experience like? Also, please throw some light on their inflight services. Thank you for your time.
