Creamychic:
Good decision!

Hello, I can see that you sent me an email. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the email associated with this account. How may I help you?

nicolofm:
VSF has been confirmed working. Working g days will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays subsequent to online booking.

Thanks for the information.

I saw on VFS Nigeria website that biometrics collection has resumed on the 28 of October. Can anyone here confirm if this information or if anyone here has had their biometrics recently?

ideamaster:
Yes. I use world remit to Nigeria once in a while. And I prefer to pay with POLi payments.

Most times, the recipient receives the money within 10 mins. Sometimes, it's takes up to an hour. But you shouldn't have any issues

OK thanks. I use world remit often but I pay with credit card. I think they use POLi payment for large transactions.

bellong:
Do you want to send money?

Yes

Has anyone used world remit or transferwise to send money (AUD 1000 and above) via PoliPay to Nigeria? Please let me know how long it took for the recipient to receive it.

[quote author=Payshence post=85006972][/quote]Thanks however I do not need an event planner at this time.

in my opinion the first thing when planning a wedding is budget,have a tight and firm budget and trust me you will get vendors who are good and will work with what you have.mainland is not bad,you will get good halls at cheaper rates.

Thanks so much.

I'm planning my wedding that will take place next year. I just realised that weddings in Nigeria is quite expensive and I have been taken aback a few times just learning the cost of things. It's been very difficult getting a hall on the island around lekki for less than 2m naira. Both families stay on the island so it doesn't make sense going all the way to the mainland for the wedding. I'm looking for suggestions on good but fairly priced halls, decorations, aso oke vendor, caterers etc. Please kindly recommend vendors that you have used and are very reliable. If you are a 2020 bride, we can also plan together.

A friend of mine is in a dilemma, she needs some clarifications. For those that have done medicals, Please does the medicals includes HIV test? if yes, what are the chances of being granted visa even if the result comes out?

Note: she's been positive for 9 years now, very healthy and on ARV drugs, plus, Her viral load is undetectable.

Hi, HIV test isn't included for courses outside health sector. I can confirm that HIV and hep B tests are compulsory if she's coming to study Nursing. It was included in the tests I did in Nigeria when I went for medicals and I still had to do it again when I got here.

How can I help you? I don't have access to the email I registered with so I can't get your message.

IamNegan:
Morning, what's is the main purpose of getting a study leave?.

To me it seems it's needed when you are returning to your job role on completion of overseas study or you will be seeking promotion...

How can an organisation predict their staffing for 2 years? How possible?

Which is more appropriate study leave or recommendation/reference letter?. I need a detailed response on this my people

this country is too expensive for one to depend on one source of income .
will be very glad to your response

Congrats, I'm going to Flinders too, when are you travelling?

cheekynero:
Just buy ghana must go bag and when you get to the airport, share your load into two. You are only allowed to carry two, each weighing about 23kg each or so

I already have a full box and Ghana must go bag with hand luggage, most times when my siblings are travelling, we always had to remove somethings and re-arrange at the airport cause of extra luggage.

Ilias2:
Buy local one they use for animal.it works also.....they sell it where they sell.keys, nails and all those building materials. I use that and it's accurate as well

OK thanks, will search for it.

Solitin40:
Take your bags to where you buy gas and get it done it’s accurate than the tiny scale and if you have bathroom scale you can make use of it

Lol, I can't take my bags to where I buy gas o, moreover I buy gas at the gas station and they don't measure the cylinder. Thanks

Geetrix:
Best you check your airline requirements...Different airlines have different allowances...eg Medview used to be 33kg last time i flew and i think Kenya airways was 18 or 20kg...Go to the airline website, rather than asking randomly when the answer is at your finger tips on google

I know the allowance, all I need is the luggage scale

UKmigrant:
Ideal weight not exceeding 25kg per luggage, remember not to put any food items in your hand luggage.

I wish l had brought more dried fish, more ogbono, egusi crayfish, nigerian maggi, poundo yam, elubo

There is plenty garri here and the price is reasonable.

Hi, did you get a luggage scale to weigh your luggages? If yes, where did you buy it?

Anyone know where I can buy a luggage scale? I need it urgently so I can't order from jumia or konga

@ajepako, please where can I get ready-made ankara tops and gowns in lagos island?

cheekynero:
Whoop Whoop Whoop!!!!!!!

Visa is finally out.... All I can say is that its the Lords doing...Can't thank him enough.... Thanks to everyone who contributed and for your prayers even though we haven't met yet..
