i am pretty sure it is fake, but will see, we will post report on this visit and photos

need to know where this scam is operates
Hey Mr megachange or whatever. It's obvious your mission is to drag this company down. It won't work out for you. What's hard to understand that instantgold don't want to deal with you. You think you can come all the way from Israel to launder money in this country. You think you are smart. Go and thank your lucky stars. Do you think you can launder money with neteller, skrill or PayPal without them limiting your account.

What's hard to understand. He say okpay will refund your money. So be patient.

InvestmentRe: Is Forex Trading Really Dangerous? by Smartlife(m): 2:17am On May 30, 2017
Am trading forex. What you should know is that the demo account is not a means to measure your success rate. You are trading with 5000$ virtual money which gives you more means to take better risk for more gains.

Am sure while investing in the real account you might want to start with 100$ or so. then the reality sets in. Every trader have blown their account more than once in their trading. Emotions will come up and taking huge risk means you will easily get margin calls during draw dawns. If you are patient enough you will need discipline to be managing the little you are making and watching it grow.

You have no experience and times will come up when you will loose, then you will try to revenge the market by taking bigger risk only to loose much more. The frustration will become huge, you might use all your buying powers and gbam, you loose all your investment.

Forex is not easy even as a trader with 3years experience nothing is guaranteed here. As you are trading also plan for your loss and be discipline to maintain a good money management plans.

It could look like buying and selling of currencies, but as you start up you will realize you have so much thing to face ranging with emotions, risk, strategies, management, discipline and so on.

Hello nairalanders,

How profitable can selling of foreign dvds like the Korea movies, philiphines and seasonal movies could be.
I was wondering since most people now love these kind of movies that means it could be making huge sells and could be start with little capital. How much can one get each cds as a whosaler and resale for profits..

TravelRe: Dear Nigerians In Diaspora, Is This Wickedness Or Selfishness? by Smartlife(m): 8:35am On Apr 30, 2017
tobaseye:
To add to your points and what have been said so far......

Nobody is saying those that have the means to migrate legally should not do so. They are only saying don't migrate illegally because you will become a burden to yourself, your friends and relatives, and to the govt.

No doubt Nigeria is hard even the rich are also feeling the heat now by one way or the other now.

So if you must migrate please do it legally and with a good plan. I know people that came in with a student visa and in less than two years before their student visa expires they get married legally to white chick. Note that it was a bit easier for them because they had planned it to come and get married even before they got the student visa and they adhered strictly to their plan. In fact one of them had to travel to London the second day he arrived in the UK to me a lady that was arranged down for him by one of his brothers in London. I guess that didn't work out and he hooked with a white chick thereafter and they are married now. Note.... He had a concrete plan before coming.

Another way is coming with your spouse, both can go through the student visa at different time (Msc and PhD) and beat the 10 years legal resident route. Remember that when one is working the other is schooling. And for the whole 10 years you will only be working for the govt because of the tuition fees. its more difficult with couples with kids but its worth trying though.

I also heard from people that if you have a child born in the UK that you can file for paper when the child is 6yrs or 7yrs as a parent. So couple going through the student visa route can explore this if it's real. Experts in the house can correct me on this and throw more light on it.

I concur with people that said, if you have tangible things you are doing in Nigeria think well before you abandon what you are doing to pursue uncertainties. But if you don't have something worth you are doing why not but do it legally and with a good plan.

That those abroad don't want other to come because of competition is a big fallacy. Who knows who here. Your relatives don't just want you to come with a visit visa and become a liability to them. As most of them are still struggling living from hand to mouth.

We are sharing the hard stories so that you can prepare yourself for the worse case scenario before you come. And who says luck can't shine on you.

Information on how to travel is there on the internet you can read and go through the process without the help of people living in abroad. All you can get from the people in diaspora are bad experiences and discouragement. To be candid that is what they have got to share with you so that when you eventually find your way in, you will know that you are solely responsible for the decision you have taken to come abroad and not be waiting to get support from someone that is still trying to make a living also. And also if they couldn't provide you the help you were expecting from them you wouldn't be blaming them for given you false information about the reality of life in abroad.

And I strongly believe that the best gift people can give is information which Nigerians on nairaland have been doing for many years till date. People still go as far as sharing their personal experiences. The bottom line is that it may go very rough at the beginning but at the end you may reap it if you succeed ni o.

My own personal experience..... When i was in Nigeria I had about two businesses and was making at much as 150k to 250k monthly. Not married but with responsibilities of my younger ones. I left Nigeria 2015 with a student visa. But regretted my coming three months in the Uk after series of unsuccessful applications because I thought been a Certified Chartered Accountant (ACCA) I should be able to get office jobs. Though I was wrong because as a student I can't work full time and most of the accounting Jobs are during the normal working hours. So I had to settle for a factory work which was not even easy to get too. The factory only gives students two shift a week; 8hrs per shift and they don't joke with that because of immigration problem. Because of this only disciplined students like myself can save from what we get at the end of the month after paying bills.

Thank God I paid all my tuition before coming that burden was not there. I pity people that made part payment with the hope of coming here to work and pay the remaining. I can tell you for a fact those that did that didn't find it so easy as they had to miss classes and breach immigration laws to achieve that.

I became so unhappy because I have got so much free time that i couldn't use because of visa restriction and i knew how much i was making back home I concluded that I was not going to stay back after my program that I would return to my business as I still had part of my capital in the bank but it's going to be easy as someone just returning from abroad because I have to do my business differently from the way I was doing it before I traveled.

I latter decided to use my spare time for volunteer jobs, I was referred to a small Accounting firm by someone in my church and I was working for them for free to gain experience two to three days a week. Because my program was Fast Track I only did just three modules and research for the whole of my program and I had so much free time.

So, when my visa was about to expire they asked me if I would like to stay, but they can't afford to pay me. We later reached a compromise..... If you understand what I mean. Though the pay was small but I accepted for three reasons.... 1. To gain more experience. 2. Nigeria was in recession going back home to rely on business was not certain. Because it's an importation business which was threatened by exchange rates and increased in clearing costs. I even tried to send some goods last year I made losses, 3. because I believe i will still be able to do some other jobs. I got the TIER 2........... eventually.

Last year I breached my visa rule, asides from my accounting Job I was also doing a support work. I worked for like 19hrs a day; 7 hrs day for accounting and 12hrs night for support work. Don't ask me when I sleep o. But I was punctual with my accounting job and did like 5days a week for the support work. It's not easy but the money from the support work is the motivating factor.

But, since this year I have slowed down with the support work doing one or two shifts in a week because i want to stop breaching the laws of the land. Please Expert in the house is Support work a social work? Because my visa allows me to do social work for 20hrs in a week.

Also For you guys to know that our fear is genuine, I want to settle down now and I'm scared of bringing someone from Nigeria because of my present situation. Because I have limited access to work and am not earning much too. And the chick might be coming with a different mind set and meet reality when she gets here.

She might not be able to secure a professional job even if she's doing a white collar of the job in Nigeria now and that might not go down well with her. . Also, if I remain on my current job, she will most likely become the bread winner for the remaining years for me to get my Indefinite Leave to remain (LIR). Because she will certainly be earning far more than me as she will have not restrictions on her visa.

My question is, does it really worth it bring someone from Nigeria that does not have an idea of what it takes to a get stay here? Apparently she might not know the value of my current visa. Or I should just look for someone here that knows about the reality of life here and marry?

Mind you, I didn't have any relationship before i came here.
So much lessons to be learnt from your post. Tank you because I learned from you
No see this. If you want to push yiurself to marry a naija girl, her family will be like they have hit a jackpot. It's normal. The gold digging part will come up and eventually if she comes and see otherwise, then you realize that the first love she claim was about the money and chance to travel to join you. The real love you will see is frustration from her and a kind of blame for deceiving her and her family. On the part becoming a bread winner.. Trust naija girls they will make it go public. I find it hard to believe those kind of gals will stick with you for life. My guy find someone over deer who understand your struggles and will love you for who you are. Had it been you had a relationship before traveling out, you could easily explain and she might understand but these gals are not still loyal.

Student125:
After submitting few applications and no invites, and also considering the number of graduate released every year, I concluded within me that the way forward is being self employed.
I asked myself, what can I do.. on reflection I realized I use to love drawing which triggered my decision to go to art class in the begging of SS1 but I considered science cuz I know I can still express my drawing skill there.
I also remembered my interest in computer, phone especially configurations for free browsing pushed me to apply for computer science but was given an option to study agriculture which I accepted cuz I dnt wanna waste that admission year.
I tried graduating well few point below first class and hoping to get job. no job is coming, my little savings from services is going down, I can't continue to demand for cash to maintain my self and as the first born with jnr once, I gat to take some responsibilities.
Then I started playing with coreldraw, after a while I started looking for tutorials both online(YouTube) and offline with lots of practices. I started getting little job from friends who later introduced me to people cuz of how satisfied they are with my attempt.
Today I am proud to call myself a graphics designer. I always look out to satisfy my customers.
In all, I am happy I started then but still have a regret, I didn't start earlier. Wish myself luck.
