I don't think those who have NZ residency can go to Australia like that, but there is an easy pathway for NZ citizens. Before you can think of taking a move to Australia, you have to be a NZ citizen. NZ is good though, but why not patiently and diligently pursue Australia?

dr_mike_adams: every body hailing amosun..pls ask any oou student his or her opinion concerning amosun...where students were forced 2 become drop outs..mttchhw

OOU issue is another case on its own. The school's challenge is the people working in that institution. The new VC was brought in to salvage the situation and restore back the lost glory, but the shenanigans, working as members of staff, are still stuck in their primitive mindset of non-commitment to government work. Mind you, this applies to both the academic and not-academic officers there. Large chunk of the work force of OOU need surgical works on their thinking.

ayobase: Ogun State has been making positive headlines for the past days now....I'm proud to be associated!

Ogun State all the way....Omo ni sabi!

Walahi, you need koboko for committing murder.
It's "omo Lisabi" and not "Omo ni sabi". I pardon thee.
Good one from SIA. We need things like this in Nigeria, from South to North so that Nigeria can be great again.

foohard:

Bro.. you must be a wizard, my colleagues hate me like shit, simply because I am serious, toward thinking and ambitious... Any federal government staff can testify to this.. If you are serious minded, they will do all within their capacity to frustrate you out of the system.

I am not surprised at all about that cos that is the trend in Nigeria (though not all are like that, e.g foohard), and we always complain that things are not working in our dear country.
Hardwork has elevated you above them; let them be beefing till they find themselves sandwiched in between sausage while you continue to spiral upwards to greatness.

Oga sir, quite a long time. Una neva chop visa ni? Do quick o, dem dey look for una.

foohard:

I have my VISA, have my ticket.. Just the study leave that's delaying me.. Please house, my flight was suppose to be for tomorrow, how much does it cost to reschedule?

Call the airline, reschedule the flight and stand on your ground (in the place of prayers now) that you are going on that day and nothing is going to stop that. They have no choice than to grant the leave.

Oga Justwise, una no go vex o. Person wey no dey vex, na im dey born plenty Justwises and Justbrains. Na exuberance dey overdo am. Just let go sir.

Brother mi, I believe you got your visa by the hand of God; am I correct? If yes, 1 million badder stomachs won't stop you from projecting higher at all. As a matter of fact, I am not wishing them to smile at you easily, cos they might think they have the power to do and undo, but I want them to bow to the Authority above all authorities. Therefore, take Absolute control in the place of prayers. Okay?

Orji o orji: Fish brain, when a man declear his stand u call him a criminal, somebody will call your father a criminal for speaking his mind.

Oga, anyone can declare support and eulogize Mr President, but someone of OGD calibre is a NO and a NO. That man is corruption and destruction personified.

jennykadry: @Everyone
Lol. Awww thanks. I just got back from Nigeria a few days ago

You see something? Because you never wanted us to ask for Australian goodies, you decided to run away from us; that is good. Hope you had a great stay in Nigeria? Thank God for journey mercy. How is family?

^^^
Hey sister! Glad to have you back on board. We've missed you a lot. Hope no problem at all?

Eh-weh!!! Aye toto, I juru and judiciary for you o.
How come these facts never came up all these days until Soludo was disqualified?

I dey vex walahi. Who removed me from here? Was just wondering why I couldn't get message about my folks again until I checked now to see that I have been unfollowed from the thread.
Anyway, how is everyone? Congrats to those who have written and passed their ielts exam. Success to those who are yet to write.

Congratulations Bigfrancis; itz good to be good. Phase 1 completed, phase 2 loading.
Go and show them the Nigerian build-up bro. All the best!!!

mimi1147:
LOL

You laff? I have already started packaging my application docs o. How much is your fee and what are your English lang requirements
@cconcept, how far with your stuff? Any light in view?
@Americanvisa, maybe you let her see the reason why she should. Just try and encourage Mrs so she can be like Mrs Posdream and Miss Mimi

mimi1147:

No I'm not married

Can I send in my application to your institution?
I will be happy if given admission by your institution, but please let the result come out after PR. I'm sure your PR will take less than 2yrs if my app is duly considered.
@UKBTech, congrats to you sir. All the best in Aussie and show them the real Nigerian drive; passion for excellence.

ferdimako:

Thank you, I wish she realizes these. Women are moving things mehn.

Who you wan marry? Abeg whisper her name to me

Omo-nna, you are right. Party affiliation should not dusturb us from calling and shouting for progress in our land and our country. That is why SW is a dybamic region, but if the past admins could do what these guys in power are doing, we won't be where we are toda. Afterall, great Awo stil had opposition among his countrymen despite his legendary works.

Tolexander: how did you know that no condolence was sent to the president by lasg on the death of his inlaw?

Moreover, it wasn't the mother of the president that died. Has the first lady that had her mother died sent her own condolence to Fashola?

O ma raye o, walahi

Nobody will help you again because the help you may need has already been put up here, except you are inviting fraudsters to your side. Research man. Everyone you can read his/her post researched themselves and asked questions on things not clear, and have shared them here for you. Therefore, read up.
God bless you as you help us to help yourself.

0mo-nna:
Lagos State and Ogun State need to pursue a greater integration agenda. Two things that should happen urgently a joint Housing Strategy that will aim to house workers within the Lagos metropolis in Ogun State and perhaps further and a Transport strategy that will make this possible rail,road and air(creative thinking) The FG should consider a Container logistic centre in Ogun State; from a legislative perspective and the states should seek investors to actualize it. The idea is a rail link from the port shifting containers to Ogun state so that the owners and transporters never have to enter Lagos but go and clear them maybe in Sagamu.Potentially that link can be extended further.

I actually think every state in the SW should put up drive for industrialization. Kudos to the Ogun State governor on this one, and it would be good if Oyo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti will also enhance the drive. The Lagos experience of today is highly discouraging, but our leaders should learn from it and open up the hinterlands in the region to push in even progress.

Oga Gbawe, CyberG and other South Westerners, kindly let's talk about our land, her progress and her future as we have been doing. Massive industrialization is needed and I would like all the 6 states to intensify more on that aspect. All hands must be on deck to drive the region forward, as well as other regions in Nigeria too, but our first berth is Yorubaland.
Is there any update of the Olokonla FTZ? Scanty information on that. Furthermore, I never knew anything about Oluyole FTZ until I saw something like that not long ago. Is there any info on that too?

With the sky-rocketing population of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States should be the next berth for industrialization in the SW region, but adequate planning should be done now so as to checkmate future environmental and infrastructural challenges.

ferdimako:

It's very strange...you see folks battling with singular verbs etc making 110 and I can't make 20 all bands. Am not blaming myself...I guess am stressed,ill-luck and I believe the exam bodies are not sincere.

I'll lodge with IELTS GT if that makes more sense if not the TOEFL.On PR, either the IELTS GT comes up fine or I marry an Australian and rest my case.

I will allude your result to stress and pressure, cos I am sure you are more than that. Since you have more time for the GT test, de-stress and de-pressurise yourself for it and you will pass it well.
Important public service announcement: Now that Ferdimako wants to marry an Aussie girl, people like posdream, mimi1147, Zoe Iyke, and others that are going to Aussie soon, should help me get a good Aussie girl for that side too cos me sef wan marry Aussie now; I want to either be the first black gentleman or the father of the first black Prime Minister for that side too. I promise to reward your kind gesture by giving you a presidential PR (PPR).
Amen!!!

posdream:
@ all, after my CoE, do I need to have d rest of d fees in my sponsors acct or its just the $18610 and my flight fare?

It's actually the first point, but the account must prove that fees are capable of being paid for the second year.

mimi1147:
Please ooo don't feel like I'm disturbing you with many qus

On th DIAC web site you will see under the qraduate visa, there is also an SOL list, which is shorter than the other list and they said you have to nominate an occupation on that list for u to apply for the 18months visa
What I'm getting really confuse about is. What if ur skill is not on the list.but is on the other long CSOL list

Will check through at latter times, but it doesn't affect you at all. The SOL is for the PR pathway at first, and not for student ship pathway.
@Capella, how far now? How is New Brunswick or what's the name again? Hope study is fine? You must scatter book for there o, or else na in front of Oga Jo for Aso Rock we go flog una.

Clickemmy: Everyhing i read in this forum is about student visa, PR issue, skilled bla bla bla are there no chances for those who want to go to oz on a visiting visa or conference visa and continue to hussle from there as it is in american

If you want to go on a visiting or.conference visa, it is the same with what applies in other countries too, but staying behind after visa has expired is illegal. Please don't try it, as we have had the name, Nigeria, soiled by our activities in time past, thus making it difficult for genuine applicants in later times. If you have enough skill in any of the skilled select programs, you will surely hit a PR lile many of our brethren here.
Stay blessed sir.
