Because tinubu is also a non Lagosian. But I hate the influx of inferior ppl coming from neighboring states to take our appointment here.

" our appointment "

pmc01:
58% passing accuracy and less than 40% ball possession is not good enough from Mr. Thomas Dennerby.


He should be relieved of the job abeg.

our coach compentency is questionable .Even when it is obvious the players are tired,he refused to make changes until France scored in make changes in very late hour .With a good coach we should not loose to Norway p

Oyindebrah:
I just want to know why Accounting is in that list?

he just displayed ignorance of global trends

thebosstrevor:
I have noticed the amount of Nigerians traveling abroad to study irrelevant courses then think when they come back, they will be given the jobs.

why do you waste your money and energy studying philosophy, counseling, English in a non-English speaking country, sociology, political science accounting, marketing, PR, history, linguistics, marriage counseling, insurance, sport science, conflict management and all sort of irrelevant courses abroad, all these courses won't put food on your table whether home or abroad, instead of wasting your money studying those courses abroad, you can as well study those courses in Nigeria for cheap.

if you are not studying medicine or STEM subjects abroad (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) pls stop wasting your money and time.

Guys, what is your take?

Accounting now waste of effort ? You are ignorant of global trends

You dont have a fiancée yet . If you marry a lady who blocked you over trivial issues . You will suffer

Lionessza6:
These so called Nigerian unions will continue making things worse for Nigerians in South Africa. You never see any statement from them when these dangerous criminals kidnap and drug young girls, or when they are involved in robberies and many other crimes . But as soon as a Nigerian dies it's Xenophobia . It doesn't matter where he dies or why he was killed or by whom, as long as he has a flat head then he is a victim of hate . Funny bunch of idiots.

are you justifying the killing of this guy ? This is shameful

Hope our coach will help ...the pressure too much .coach make changes bring fresh legs

The girl playing 3 very good

aaronson:
Nigeria don't have players, these set of players wouldn't make a first team in any England second division league, maybe except Iwobi.

Read what you type before posting ." These players will not make second league " what league is Ndidi playing ?

BabaIbo:
I am a graduate, but I'm not comfortable with the situation of this country, no job even when u have one it will be underemployment.
Please I need advice on which African country I can relocate to and hustle, and average amount I need to have to settle down pending when I start making money... aside from my degree, I am proficient in teaching, I also have good knowledge in cosmetic business and a lil knowledge in building materials. so any help or advice for me?

what field of study ? perhaps you may try masters?

DO you have practical skills to survive in a foreign land ?if yes try South Africa

mroyato:
Personal thoughts

1. Not to demoralize anyone, but if you have applied for a study visa and you haven't from the embassy yet; you may likely get a refusal except if you are going for a PhD, post-doc or a full research masters.
Why?? Most universities in the republic are already writing their exams hence registration for new students are fully closed. However some universities may allow certain international students to begin their programs in semester 2 if you have pre- informed them of your visa challenges.

Some study visa applicants have also failed to carry their institutions along in the challenge they are facing in getting study visa. Trust me the international office in your university can pull a lot of stunt. They will forward your name to the home affairs and ask them to issue you a visa. They will also follow up on your behalf until the visa is issued.

2. I have also noticed a lot of refusals on this platform lately. The truth is South Africa is trying so hard to reduce the influx of immigrants into their country as a lot of illegal emigrants across Africa ( Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Congo, moz, Cameroon, Guniea) are beginning to constitute threats/nuisance. So the immigration policies are now stricter.
However, one major factor why applicants are largely denied these days lies in the genuity and appropriateness of application documents. For example, if you are applying for a study visa, please ensure the adequacy of your proof of fund. Be sure that your bank statement can cover your tuition, cost of living, accommodation and some little extra bucks. If you are getting the bank statement from a sponsor, ensure that the relationship between you and the sponsor is properly spelt out and explained in a letter from your sponsor to the consular. You may also back up the relationship with birth certificates if the sponsor is your bloodline.
I wouldn't like to dwell so much on this document thing but keep in mind that your documents must be verifiable, genuine and appropriate.

3. What is in South Africa??
The answer is South Africa offers everything that Nigeria promises to be. From perfect roads, to uninterrupted power supply, to excellent weather, great health care system, to cheap world class educational system...just name any good thing you can think of, South Africa is got it.
However, there are a few negatives which alot of us already know. Job opportunities are now getting difficult and doesn't look like it's going to get any better in the nearest future so if you are coming to the republic for employment opportunities, your better think twice.

If you are coming for tourism, South Africa is the place to be especially if you want a near america or western Europe experience. If schooling is what interests , i'll like to tell you that the best schools in Africa are here in the republic.

Lastly, always have it at the back of your mind that no country in this world owes you a visa obligation.

Cheers.

Excellent report well done sir .however international offices do not have to power compel or inform home affairs to issue visa to applicants,they can only confirmed your admission letter . Of true immigration policy now extremely harsh on Nigerians hence becoming difficult for " hustlers " to come SA. Hence you either come for study or you apply for critical skills only if your skills fall into that category. No more general work permit for west African countries.Even if you have vocational skills that can fetch you money in SA ,getting long term visa becomes a mountain .Thus study visa is the easiest route to migrate.

TYPOP:
Welcome back my brother. Good to read from you again.

am fine bros

Ironman15:
Pls help a brother

A friend of mine is in south Africa (female). So she want me to come over to SA and stay... I'm still processing my passport but if want to know that ...
1.what type of visa do I have to apply for?
2.Is SA now safe for Nigerians(cos i heard of the issue of xenophobic attack some months back)
3.I intend living in SA as a footballer or I further my education there
4.What are the criteria for living in SA

Pls help shed more lights to this questions.. I wouldn't mind if someone can link me up with an agent (not scammers) to make my trip faster... She wants me to come before july

Note:She also moved to SA not quite long but she have relatives there

With humility and respect to you sir . You don't need agent but common analysis of your plans . 1. what permit are u coming with ? Any journey with visitor visa is not the best you can't change status . 3. What will u be doing to survive ? To play soccer is good but do you have a club already ? Please learn a skill that is what will bring food on your table . Don't depend on a woman

lordwilliem:
Hello house pls I need an advice on this?

If I have to appeal, do I need any documents in addition to the appeal letter?

you can re apply . for study permit at least 1m or use sponsor account provided he or she writes a letter to support your application

Earthquake3:
I'll not be in it by then

what about your families,uncles and cousins ? You take them along ? Plus your parents ? We need to watch what we vomit on public space

ZubyDee:
hey bro, I did study visa for someone last year which got denied, can I still get a refund on the momentum which expired March this year ?

You can't get refund after expiration of medical aid .Expired march already hence no refund

naijaobi:
Oga, open your eyes and read well. Didi I say Agric is not a good course to study in Germany?
And yes, ICT is currently ruling. ...and he can combine both if he opens his eyes wide. I am talking from experience.

what works for you may not work for others

tetralogyfallot:
veterinary medicine bawo? I have a lot of them as friends still roaming the streets in search of a daily bread.

They should find their way to any country outside Nigeria they will be well paid . Definitely not in Nigeria .

naijaobi:
Agric is for the future no doubt. But tbh at the moment, ICT rules... You can combine both if you open your eyes very well...

Every one can't be an IT expert . Who says agric is for future ? Agric .sc provides bulk of food for world population hence it is a good course to study in Germany or any where in the world . We can't be jumping from one career to another

Ruthiegal:
Good day nairalanders, please I’m in a fix and I need advice from people in the system .
I’m currently pregnant for my fiance. He’s currently based in South Africa with a volunteer visa/permit. He wants me to apply for visit visa and come and join him so the child can be born there. But I have my reservations please. I already read on the internet that giving birth in South Africa does not qualify for automatic citizenship. Please advise. Is it advisable I go there or just stay back in nigeria
He want us to live in South Africa with him

Ask your man what he is doing for a living . A lot of Nigerians are doing legal business or work and some are busy selling drugs or doing plastics ( atm fraud) ..2. A child born in sa doesn't become citizen until he is 18years . 3 . what will u be doing with visitor visa ? 4 you can't change your status .5 . Is he really employed or doing illegal or legal business ? All these questions must be answered

cdokoh:
Good evening, please I urgently need your... I wanna apply for South African study visa but I'm stock at hotel reservations because they said third party (booking.com and hotels.com) is acceptable

Please what should I do I need it urgently

You dont need hotel reservation for study visa . Why not contact your school they could help you with proof of residence @ free of charge level

antzlaive:
Nothing yet, still waiting. Made some calls and learnt they have a lot of backlog with only a lady working on them.

Those people are extremely lazy always crying " backlog "

Chauke:
TAKE it easy and do not be tempted by women







South Africa rocks!

Do not be tempted

Mimicle101:
Thank you my brother. Now i understand

IF you do not have visa yet please dont cancel your medical aid this may lead to outright denial. A friend of mine had similar issue after 2months he cancelled his medical aid when the visa outcome came he was denied based on:No medical aid

Mimicle101:
What an answer.
I just hope they would never refuse a visa on the account of late.

Because I dont understand how they could hold on to a passport for over 3 months

They really do not care because now they have more students coming from SADC countries and China compare to before. Even some courses like medicine are not offered to Nigerians

Mysterdema:
I went to the VFS Global office yesterday. They said study and permanent residence Visas take time, and if I think it is taking too long, I should ask my institution to write to the Embassy.

Yes let your postgraduate officer or international office writes to the Embassy.

Mimicle101:
What an answer.
I just hope they would never refuse a visa on the account of late.

Because I dont understand how they could hold on to a passport for over 3 months

The chances that undergraduate study visa will be granted is very slim unless the school assured the Embassy that she can still enroll.Already exam is about to start and lectures end this Friday. If it was honours ,masters and PhD for second semester the visa will be issued. More importantly they believed that if she is issued the visa now what will she be doing in SA in MAY AND JUNE?Check from the school if her registration and payments are still valid.Sorry for the pain.... Most times they delayed unnecessary due to backlogs

Totogokillme:
He plays in the lower tier of the English league,not been a fantastic season for him despite a good start

Lower league and Chinese league which one is stronger and competitive ?

TheGiftedOne:
Tyrone is one of the best full backs in the country and has age in his side.

Nwakali is a huge talent like his brother Kelechi. That they are both victims of racism in their various clubs isn't their fault.


Success is in the FA cup finals with Watford. What does most of them who made the cut have over him?

Answer me. ..

your comments are ridiculous because success club is in FA cup finals he should be invited ? How many goals did he score this season and how many man of the match he won ? Nwakali has not kick ball since March he was stranded on visa issue and Tyrone is just recuperating from injury
