Cletus77:
Nigeria was the largest economy in Africa during Jonathan's regime, too bad Buhari let it slip through our fingers if not for God

Largest economy on paper but practically hunger and frustration the other of the day .Unemployment rate very high

wine4dguy:

My thoughts exactly...please someone should answer this question

Activate your online banking .You can transfer naira to someone account here and get rand in exchange . 2. Open stanbic account and inform them you are going SA 3. or open access bank account and get master card .Some people on this forum use this method.You can swipe your card here but I doubt if you can withdraw via ATM .

beebwai:
Thanks, but how's that possible when i need to go to the embassy?

Embassy in Nigeria you pay naira for your application fees. You don't need to pay any tuition fees while you are still in Nigeria

beebwai:
Happy holidays, please which bank can i get rand? I need it quite urgently too. Please if anyone has paid school fees here recently,how did u do it? Because the unofficial rates are are just crazy! Please i need help here.

You can pay your fees when you arrive SA.

kareemkamil:
While not Adeboye pay a visit to privileged home for prayer and preaching, but you see him romance President, Governors & Senators. God know who is serving him.

When he visited less privileged you won't hear because he is humble .

comfortchemical:
my close balalance was 250, 000 naira.

Don't waste money applying again with 250k it is indeed insufficient .Until your bank account is better or if you have a family member with a good account ,can write a letter of sponsorship stating why he want to sponsor you for the trip.

PentiiumProf:

The foreign investments coming into anambra state are in billions of dollars not naira
Gov obiano has attracted a foreign investment of over 4 billion dollars leading to an industrial explosion in my own words
More foreign investors are coming
When these industries and other commercial ventures come on stream more investors will come
The industries you see in Lagos and other parts of the country will either relocate to anambra or open another plant in anambra
Are you aware that anambra entered into an mou to build three three independent power plants
Can you imagine the massive growth anambra will record once the ipps become operational

These are theories not practical .Industries relocate to Anambra? Joke of the century

Shine1177:

Baba o! Thanks. I lost all contact on my phone, I should have call you. Regards to your family.

congrats more blessings to come .

abnice2004:


I wonder too my brother. I have d receit of d SAQA. It's not fake. My just tired abeg. Or should I try lagos?

For the fact that there is receipt doesn't mean it is genuine .Nigerians are representing well as same time we have dubious Nigerians,one tribe focuses on drug deal while the other focus on fake documents including Saqa .The Sa govt keep changing the colour of the certificates because of few Nigerians producing fake saqa certificates .Twice your application was rejected for same reason yet you are still asking what is wrong . Something is fishy about your saqa ,call Saqa office or mail to confirm the auntencity of the cert .Perhaps it may be genuine .

I wept for my state . what will a councillor commission ? Shame

[quote author=feodan post=52041500]Going from churches to churches all in the name of Vp, I don't believe this man is still in christ. Because politics is a dirty game, may the Lord bless everyone dat's reading this. [AMEN] [/quoteIf did not attend any church you go complain now he attended church service you are still lamenting ! Are you his God to know if he is in Christ or not ? Be concern about your own spiritual life than assessing the man

[quote author=solufemiwa post=52029576][/quote]Sorry bro . Usually the undertaking always attached to admission letter in the same page
That was a huge error by the visa officer .He or she should have notify you while checking the docs .

bongo007:
Some illiterate will come here and blame buhari...I wonda if dey knw d function of nff or d sport ministry..dat nff boss should nt only be sacked dey should arrest him also, dud using our sport money to sponsor warri again.

I blame Buhari he appointed the beret man as sport minister .

They were not rescue because there was no threat to life. Unfortunately all SA media used the word ' rescue ' and a Nigerian man' to get headlines. The women are not kids but from 17 to 37 years .I doubt if they were abucted or it was willing job for survival ?

Kentrasso:


Rwandair is quite affordable. you can try that.

For hotel bookings go to booking.com and make your reservation. It's preferable to pay before you get here because Nigerian cards are no longer working outside the country

My access bank card was okay today .At good rate .....

Kentrasso:


How much of a delay are we talking about

Madam this is Christmas season that is why you may experience delay but by next week you should have it .TRACK IT ONLINE .ALL IS WELL

sotall:
Hello guys, I intend travelling to South Africa next week on a tourist visa. I got everything worked out except for my hotel reservation and flight ticket. I made enquiries about the flight ticket yesterday and was told it would cost me 300k-plus for a direct flight to south Africa. This sounds really expensive and exorbitant for my small pocket. I also intend doing the hotel reservation this weekend. So I will like guys in here who have travelled recently or are conversant about the cost of Lagos-south Africa fare to give me information on this.
As for the hotel reservation/booking, I want to book a hotel in Johannesburg that accept naira MasterCard and not expensive.

Book by yourself online you will see flight between 180k to 250k SA airline depending on your destination .It is the work of agent to double it to 300kplus .Arik to Joburg is between 140k to 155k .Book your hotel and pay just for a night .( book ten days and pay for one night) .Booking without paying might lead to refusal at point of entry .

demmysoft:
Please, can someone help me to get medical treatment invitation letter from any SA hospital. urgent pls.

You have to state your illness or reason for the letter. SA hospitals are not like Nigerian hospital you just walk in and get letter .

tripzalee:
please how do I process admission to public south africa. University and estimated cost

Google Universities in SA you will different tuition fees .For admission process check the school website.

Renewal of study permit takes 10days to two weeks .However Decemeber period there will be delay in the process .Two of my friends got theirs witin 2weeks in November .Atimes the process can take 8 weeks on more but this is on rare occassion .The introduction of visa office in SA has improved the process though the price is higher .
