Hey peeps, I'm new here and this is my very first post on nairaland, I've been following this thread or a wyl now, I was denied Canadian study visa twice last year for no good reason as far as I'm concerned (CENTENNIAL COLLEGE),I'd have applied this November to Griffith College for My masters, Coz of time constraint as I'll also have to write the IELTS exams too, I posponed my application to September 2019.. I've not been seeing positive remarks about Griffith College, I chose Griffith Coz it's in Dublin, and also compared to others, it's cheaper (I think), I'm budgeting €15,000 for my tuition and €5,000 for my edubond deposit... I need prescription on better schools I can go for in Dublin.. I'm an orphan, my elder brother is sponsoring me, I graduated from Covenant Uni, Mech Eng, with a 2.8/5.0CGPA.. I intend settling in Dublin afterwards.. Pls I humbly ask for your advice on preferred schools from my peeps over there.. Sincerely appreciate

Why not try national college of Ireland asap..and u can still make it for this January ooo if u can get all ur documents ready asap!!!!.u will just need ur English test for visa application only.. I will advice u just write PTE academic as u just need 30 for the visa application and am sure u will get more than that. Just quickly pm @icasng ASAP!!! AND SEE if u can still make it for January

I had a good job in 9ja some yrs back, while on the job, I got an MSc offer in the UK, the thrill of travelling abroad got the better of me and I resigned! I dumped my job and travelled to the UK. Yes, I had a nice experience seeing the other part of the world and seeing what an organised society looked like. But let me tell you the truth, I became poorer. There are no jobs in UK/Europe, and your colour even makes it worse! I regretted leaving my job that was paying my bills! I then hated everything about the UK and came back. I came back even without a penny, broken and now trying to pick up my pieces.

My advice: Never leave a job that pays your bill, especially if it's a secure job, for an overseas exploration.

Na who get money, the world values!

Kaii!!!!! This is deeep oooooo..am dead..am crying o

I am a black and fully bred Nigerian my brother. Also I am very much proud to be a Nigerian.

Nice one bro.. I love ur spirit

partnerus:
I am glad to read your response bro. Now there seems to be more positive response coming from it. Your initial write up was mere generalisation. The truth is I reside here in Dublin city and we tend to pay same amount of rent. Mine seems a bit slightly higher than yours for a shared room. Maybe I was fortunate to opt for DBS then. You guys schooling their ought to discuss with the PG program coordinator there in Griffith so that something can be done in that regards.

I feel your plight bro but I am not advising you or anyone here to break the provisions of their student visa. All I was emphasizing is that one takes due advantage of the opportunities that lies in whatever environment one finds him or herself. Talking about Canada, there are so many Nigerians there in Canada with masters who settled for taxi driving. The racist thing is everywhere. Once you are not a native of their country, its pretty difficult getting a suitable job that is in tandem with what you studied in school. The only edge I would say Canada has is it's easier to get permanent residence there. This is one area which Ireland needs to critically look at so it can harness the pool of diverse cultures it seems to enjoy presently and then over time, they can have second generation of blacks as Irish natives.

You initial post would ordinarily deter the faint hearted to pursue a career path here cause of your generalisation of Ireland whereas it has everything to do with your own school which seems not to avail you time to hustle and work simultaneously. However, I know it's hard getting jobs that pay cash but look out for odd jobs which Irish people won't do for any amount in the world. In it lies the answer to that which you seek. There are lots of opportunities here and that's the gospel truth. Even the cars you were talking about shipping from Canada, it's cheaper shipping a car from Ireland to Nigeria than from the former. You can do your research on that too. Car shipping constitutes the bulk of trade between Ireland and Nigeria. Mostly salvaged cars if you know what I mean. Also, we have edge in currency value over them in Canada. The list is endless. Both countries are good and please don't get me wrong. At least vacation is around the corner and so you can hustle properly. Even in DBS, chances are we won't hustle quite well this holiday period. The reason is exam starts this January. So every school has it's own odds but regardless of such, we have to keep up the hustle. Stay strong and positive. God bless your hustle here and above all, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Bro wat are u studying..hehehe...u should be an ambassador of Ireland to Nigeria. Loool

partnerus:
I read your post and ordinarily I would have chosen turn a blind eye to it but for sake of clarity to those intending to come study here in Ireland, it would be a disservice to them if I remain mute. In as much as I reckon with you on certain constraints you made mention of here, it is not enough to draw to conclusion that there isn't better prospects schooling here in Ireland. For the record, I am not on the pay roll of the Irish government and I am not in anyway holding brief for them. So also, my write up is entirely my own personal opinion based on experience here in Dublin.

The truth is, there is no where on planet earth where you get things on a platter of gold. Even in freetown, Serria Leone, nothing is free there too. While I agree with you that Dublin as a city may have it's down sides, but choose to see the good sides too. You are a product of your thought.

ACCOMMODATION IN DUBLIN.

Its no longer news that Dublin is the most expensive city to live in Europe. Irish times even confirmed that too but the truth is there are other affordable and decent accommodation you can live in which will cost you between 380 and 400 euros monthly here in Dublin. I am saying this cause I witnessed a friend settle for that. It is very tidy, organised and could be likened to private university hostels in Nigeria. I didn't go for that's cause I already got a place in Dublin before then. You made mention in your write up of paying exorbitant rent as high as 700euros or there about. Oga, what happened to the mantra which says 'cut your coat according to your size? Even in Nigeria, America, Ghana or anyway else in the world, there is social strata which everyone falls into.

Before you left Nigeria, I guess you were amongst those who believed that once you get to Europe, you will pick euros on the streets. I am sorry if reality is far different now. The truth is, I work tirelessly round the clock here and blending same with my studies too. I have a part time job and also picked a night based job without tax as a Valetta. No European will do such job so I picked it. I am proud of it cause it pays my bills and gives me something to save as well. Come to think of it brother, where in the world is life seamless? Is it Nigeria, America or UK? I have an uncle who schooled in the US and today is a journalist in Manhattan, NY. He hasn't sent anything back home. He keeps complaining just like you are doing now as well. Complain hasn't helped anyone. Hardwork pays. There are lots of opportunities here in Dublin. Please look round and you will start finding such opportunities. I for myself I already have a clear road map here. I am already thinking of what I will delve into once I graduate since I am not allowed for now to be self employed on a stamp 2 visa.

Is Nigeria any better? Why don't you cut your spending drastically and work real hard. I mean real hard. To me, every Nigerian student here is a brother. I am using this medium to extend my hand of fellowship to you. Come let me introduce you to the world of hardwork which pays. We can together structure your time, plan your expenses and discuss a whole lot. As in brain Storm and share ideas together. I laughed when I read your post about racism in the house you live. Yours is small compared to what I face here. I am the only black guy in my apartment and worst still from Nigeria. I no send them ooo...I use schooling and hustling as tactics to ignore them. Most times I come home in the middle of the night after work and leave quite early to school in the morning. So I hardly have time for them. The truth is, it's not easy here but there are lots of opportunities. I mean it bro. That your friends graduated and returned to Nigeria doesn't mean your story will be same. As our faces differs, so those our destinies.
If you personally want proof, I can show you how much I have been able to remit home barely studying here for less than 3 months. I mean I achieved such feet with hustling and above all God's grace.
Stay strong and positive bro. That's the Nigerian spirit. Our leaders have failed us. You can't afford to fail your own children too.
To other serious and hardworking Nigerians willing to survive legally here in DUBLIN, please feel free to get in touch with me once you get here. Again, it's not easy but with sheer commitment and determination you will make it here. I mean real big. I am using myself as case study. That's why I have no intimate friend here or any thing bothering me. I made it so so that I can face the real purpose why I am here.

Please see the opportunity abound anywhere you are. Opportunities lies everywhere. The time to grab it is now or never!!!

@partnerus the great motivator.. smiles.. nice one bro..I will send u a pm..

GRIFFITH
When they are doing their marketing, it will be like na heaven u want to enter, nobody will tell u about the housing issue till u come here, nobody will tell u about the GNIB and re-entry visa till u come

They will paint it like u have entered milk and butter.

Calculate it
Income : 9.55 * 20hrs * 4weeks = 764
tax (2-5%) :
Expenses
Accomodation - 400-450-500
light- 20
bus only - 80
with tramp - 40
feeding - 80

With this u can do ur calculation for 40hrs and see if it suites u

So that means there is not even any means to socialize or something...

To be truthful, ireland is totally bleeped... i am in ireland everyday and the cost of living here is something else. To get GNIB appointment na GOLD, took me 3 months to get mine and still bills must be paid,Rent like 800 euros and above if you want to stay by yourself, don't get me wrong you can get for 500-700euros but u go tire to find. How much do u earn 9.55 euros an hour and only required to work for 20 hours a week with tax to pay around 2-5%. Transport a week in dublin about 20 euros,feeding never join. There are menial jobs eg, warehousing and picking fruits about 10euros per hour, if you go there u go see men with red passport still dey do warehouse jobs & the next day body go wan break, other jobs kitchen porter, cleaner, waiter etc. racism na another level especially in my house, things i don't do they go report to landlady. December dey come now for someone to work 40hrs, no time sef to go hustle join because exams is in January, u choose to do well in exams or work 40hours. I feel if u earn above 180k in Nigeria as a bachelor or spinster, no need to leave that job, i made a mistake ever coming here, na canada sure pass but since i am here, i will make good use of it.

Don't ask me about the 2 years, 3 people who finished from griffith college 1 Msc Accounting and finance, 2 International Business, don return back to Nigeria as no job show after the 2 years.

Dublin is an expensive city

Kai..na wa oo

TeejayTCD:
Dear Colleagues,

I have been following this thread for the past two months. I applied for a PhD study visa for study at TCD and got the Visa approved in 3weeks and a day. I am on a paid stipend by SFI. I arrived Dublin on the 19th of November, late but didnt matter since my course is totally research-based. I never thought I'll need Nairaland to help, but I sure do now.

The cost of living here is totally outrageous and the rent is something else. I am presently in the Generators Hostel in D& and need to relocate to a more permanent and cheaper shared accommodation for the time being until I begin to get access to my stipend. Any help will be appreciated, also any body with good character and preferable a PG student may contact me so we figure out a way out.
Thanks.
Tunji

Damn... This accommodation of a thing is soooo scary..u people are getting us scared ooo... chai

fatsonm:

Pls is it evertything the bro said that is right?
Those im ireland.
@Patherus and others.

Hehe..see this man..u are still asking questions o..he said 90% true..wat else do u want..hehehe.. I just thought of something ooo..so dats how someone will be become celibate if person reach Ireland..hehehe.. just asking for a friend ni oo

pristine88:


Bro dont dull it..he is 90% right on some things o

Hahaha... that guy is crazy..he said u will use ur 2 years post study Visa to be a dishwasher...chai..hahahhaha

partnerus:

Whatever I write now is solely my own opinion.

To your question I will say YES there are great hopes of staying back on graduation. First we all know we have 2 years extra on graduation to work full time of 40 hours a week. Secondly, my current course of study in on the skilled occupation list which is currently in high demand here. That is not to infer that I don't know that there is racial discrimination against black applicants but seriously with sheer determination, you will get a job. Also I work part time in a hotel and I was told by my supervisor on options to stay black which hitherto o was oblivious of. I cant start typing all that here on the internet. So to your question, I would Yes there are great hopes of staying back hrre. But the truth is, it all boils down to the individual. What are your life goals? Can you stay focused when you get here and face wwhwt exactly brought you here? Or you would go for endless partying and clubbing? It all depends on the individual. If you know your root and also have it at the back of your mind that to whom much is given, much is expected, then you will work towards it. But seriously there are several options one can take to stay back but I can't start typing that here.

Bro..I will be studying msc in management. Pls is it among the list of skilked occupation employment permit list?? I don't understand how that stuff works?

Blessedolamide:
Assignments upon assignments like you've never seen before. With deadlines Lolxx.

Hehe..na wa ooo

Blessedolamide:


I doubt because as a student, you can only work 20hours per week during school period. Minimum wage is 9.55Euros per hour. Do the maths considering the fact that house rent is about €500 on average per month (May be higher or lower), transport averagely €80 per month (using students leap card) , feeding etc.

Also, masters is 3 semester. If you are starting in Sept, it means you have no summer break. Try as much as possible to get your first year tuition paid because studying in Ireland is crazy.

Crazy in what aspect ma'am?
