After I uploaded my documents successfully, I realised that N-power website rearranged them for me. My ID card was put in place of passport, NYSC certificate was placed in place of School certificate and vice versa. Can this be an attempt to screen people out? I have edited three times now but the problem still persists. Should I go ahead to take the test or I resolve the issue first? Thanks

Okay.. Now you spot the difference? ... I'm still scouting for agent who can accept BD because the whole process falls back on luck, forget the permit or any documents. I have about 4 people that got denied this same Poland work visa.

Every country consular in Nigeria behave like Nigerians .. Selling of visa becoming source of income immediately they step into their commission in Nigeria.

I know what i'm saying, i have had opportunities of getting Canada and USA visas back in 2014 and 2016 but the money charged were just too much for me back then, everything was all about bank draft.

Bros, please kindly let me know once you are able to spot any travel agent that is ready to accept bank draft... I have tried severally without success. All of them are insisting on deposit which am not ready to loose again in life

Board Akure from Lagos only if the driver will take Ibadan route and not Ore. Make sure you find out from the driver first, which route he's taking/following. Arakeji is very close to Akure, is by the road side. No doubt, Ilesha is very close to Arakeji but boarding Arakeji from Ilesha will waste your time at the motor park because the bus might not get full on time and the NURTW might not allow you to get along vehicles. Ilesha branch of NURTW members are very stubborn

Unfortunately, unlike Trove and T212, Passfolio offers this as a premium/paid service of $10 monthly. Basically, stop loss means you set a specific limit/price below the amount the stock is currently trading. If the price falls to that amount the sell order is automatically triggered to help minimize your loss.

That way you may not need to constantly monitor the price movement. To the best of my knowledge, it is applicable for whole shares not fractional shares.

Thanks bro. I will have to move my securities/stocks from Passfolio once T121 open registration afresh. Do you have idea on how to move stocks from one broker to another?

I knew that the best route to abroad is schooling/study but no cash to pursue this so, I have been making research of a skill to acquire and a country that the skill will be needed most I can easily migrate to.

Travel / Re: A Nairalander Needs Advice On Which Country To Relocate To. by traveluk: 9:18pm On Aug 03, 2020

The way una dey talk sometimes I weak o...

The OP wants a place to migrate to for long term in order to work, but I see comments here like "go to Netherlands", "go to Malta", "Go to Thailand" ... the question is; HOW?

The above mentioned countries do not have any migration program, so how do you want him to go? ... oh I see, you all want him to overstay a visit visa or ... no I get it, take a boat across the Mediterranean?

Dear OP,

If you are looking to Migrate, look for countries with such programs available for your plan.

I heard you stating you can teach English, that's great, but do your research about that area first;
e.g do you need an international teaching certificate like CELTA, TESOL or DELTA?
Do you need to learn a language of the area you intend to migrate to b4 going? Is the area you are going to Nigerian friendly-as you are a Nigerian passport holder?

For your information, unfortunately Nigerians have a very bad reputation in Thailand due to constant drug peddling, so for now please stay away from Thailand, otherwise you may be victimized unjustly due to that Negative stereotype -especially if you are Igbo... yes I said that! Thai authorities have a special division that speak igbo in a bid to crackdown drug rings in Bangkok.

Malta is a Mediterranean Island that is part of the
Schengen area, however because it is an Island country-there are no immigration programs, you can only happen to stay long in Malta as a student(universities in Malta cost an arm and a leg for tuition), an economic investor or if you have a valid Schengen residency. Malta really doesn't have much to offer it's exactly like Cyprus, more of a holiday area, the only catch with Malta is the Schengen effect it has which of course they use to generate revenue by selling their citizenship by investment in a bid to attract foreign investors from the rich gulf regions... so if you have minimal funds Malta is not your area.

Have you considered Argentina or Uruguay?
I thought as much ... you wouldn't know because you are stuck on the general notion which blocks you from personal research.

The Schengen areas have the same visa policy, and most of them have no long term migration policy except you marry one of them, however I advise you to look around South America or South Korea... research well and make a legal migration.

Good luck.
Please, advice me on the best skill out of the following I should acquire and can easily get a job with it abroad; Computer networking, plumbing, tiles setting, forklift and crane operating. Which country can I migrate to legally and get a job? Thanks Sir

Have you ever wondered why getting a visit visa to some countries as a Nigerian is just outright difficult?
Have you ever wondered why as an International student you are told to take a test of English, regardless of the fact your official language is English?
Have you ever wondered why Nigerians are often victims of scrutiny by law enforcement officials in western societies?
Now, Consider these;

Case 1: Tom is an average business man from a humble background in Nigeria, he really fancies a big break and eyes a shot at Dubai-U.A.E(The land of Arab cash), he eventually gathers all his life savings from his modest business and travels out. A while later, he starts western unioning his folks quite a chunk of dollars monthly and shortly after, a huge building project commences in his hometown, courtesy of Tom...

Case 2: Dick is an aspiring footballer and dreams of playing pro football in Europe. He struggles to get there and with the help of "some" agent, he eventually succeeds. A couple later he shows up his local neighborhood with a shiny large SUV...

Case 3: Harry is an unemployed young graduate, and is desperate to leave the country, strongly believing that if he steps foot into the streets of London to "hussle", he will hammer as he is a sharp guy. He finally winds up some British chic online and like a joke he lands in the UK, a couple later he floats pictures on social media with his "Oyibo" bae- apparently, he is livin' the dream...

Now the above stated cases are classic scenarios, and most individuals truly yearn for such opportunities abroad as they feel life "abroad" is more rosier and served on a platter of Gold. Due to this longing to be like "Tom, Dick and Harry", the desperation of many Nigerians to go abroad is dangerously high, that many are willing to even take high risks just to procure visas or leave the shores of Nigeria, including a full desert venture enroute Libya by foot, in an effort to cross the Mediterranean (Trust me I have seen alot of crazy efforts, like a lot).

But the plain truth is this; Not everybody can be Tom, Dick or Harry. Because someone went to London and succeeded does not mean it's gonna be the same for another person. In some cases going abroad could yield benefits, and in some cases it could be a total disaster. Lets take a look at a couple of things first before you decide to pack your bags;

1-Whats the plan? I have said this thousands of times, "a clueless person at home, will be clueless abroad". You are struggling so desperately to go to Europe and hussle, do you have a laid out plan of the hussle strategy? Like there are alot of Nigerians stuck in Dubai as you read this text, they don't even have the luxury of being deported, just because they fled to Dubai without any specific plan, only because "Tom did it and is making Arab money" so they thought they could do it too... SMH even the Bible says "write a vision and make it plain...". You need to have a plan of action, a blue print of progressive thought, you need to have an innovative plan- in the absence of one, trust me "There is no place like home".

2- Are you Skilled? Face it, Gold is recognized as Gold anywhere in the world... i.e; if you plan on going to Australia to Hussle without any particular skill, you are on the pathway to becoming a statistic of homeless people in Australia. There are Nigerians in the US who are Hobo's, because they did'nt get any college or formal education and they don't exactly have any skills to make a living-some of these guys absconded on visit visas and thought they'd make the jackpot hussling(Nigerians are notorious for overstaying their visit visas, which makes the process of obtaining one difficult for genuine Nigerian travellers, as all Nigerians are now assumed to be potential immigrants by many countries) but #Wrong ... let Trump catch those ones. On a serious note, lets say you are a skilled programmer and you decide to legally migrate to the US for instance, do you think you wont have a fair shot at living large? unfortunately, the large chunk of uneducated/unskilled Nigerians constituting a menace in various parts of the world, have given a percentage of some people the perspective that; "The average Nigerian is uneducated and can't speak clear English", this actually frustrates the efforts of legit educated/skilled Nigerian seeking for opportunities abroad... My point? There are also uneducated/unskilled Americans too, but they don't bother about travelling abroad to embarrass themselves, in the name of "hussling". So there it is, "HAVE A SKILL!"

3- Do you know where you are going? It Amazes me how some people just look up visa free countries with the Nigerian passport online, and decide to just hop on the next available flight to go and hussle, "Chai una no go kee me!" some people don't even do research about the terrain, language or culture of a certain place, all they do is find out; if there are jobs, how hussle dey for that side and zoom... they are off! even if its to Nepal. Just go to Italy for example and see what some Nigerians are doing on the streets, esp the women-no offence but its true, those who know will know what I am talking about(Even the Italians have come to know a particular tribe in Nigeria that are engaged in particular trades at night). If you ask those Nigerians why; they would simply say; "they did'nt know this is what they would end up doing". check this out;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt3ZrV2nUqg
I feel sorry for people who literally sell off potential fortunes in Nigeria, in a bid for "blind migration abroad"... Please if you have no idea of the country you are aiming to go and hussle, Biko, don't go and become a societal menace.

4- "That Particular Agent" I have said this as well, "deperate people will do desperate things", all in a bid to get that Visa, some people get Linked up to fraudulent characters or dangerous syndicates in the name of "an Agent"... Chai! I pity una. Be informed; Many terrorist groups are out there recruiting candidates to carry out their terrible acts, and such candidates are usually desperate people trying to go abroad- These agents actually assist in getting legit visas for their clients, but unfortunately like insects caught in a spiders web, these people get ensnared into what they can't get out of. There are also so called "agents" who end up screwing peoples profiles by providing falsified documents for visa applications, such people get instant life bans from some embassies and can NEVER travel westward anymore... Just because they were desperate and could'nt wait for their time. SMH... Beware of Agents o...

5- Confirmed Dollar$$ abroad?? In Nigeria, everyone wants to have his hands on dollars because of the current "Buharinomics", to the extent that even elderly people are being lured to become drug mules-unfortunately, they get caught. You see, if such people were not that desperate in going abroad, they would have probably crossed the T's and dotted the i's, but they were blinded to all the risks involved due to sheer desperation and greed for dollars. In Asia, e.g Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam, the general impressions they have of Nigerian guys are "they are 419's, scammers and drug dealers"... How come you may ask? because the number of Nigerians who have been caught smuggling drugs and doing "yahoo" are phenomenal. I have been subjected to intense searches in certain airports just because my passport is green, on an occassion I thought it was the racism card that was being played, but when a Botswana guy behind me was allowed to pass freely, I knew this was just Naija people they were being cautious about.(Deep down I felt hurt, because I painfully realized Nigerians have been stereotyped Negatively- i.e there are Africans, then there are the Nigerians)
Please, abeg, please stay away from "fast money abroad"... There is no other substitute for hard work and productive creativity.

6- Every country is unique Because snow falls in Turkey like Canada, you now assume Turkey and Canada are the same, so you try to run there because abroad is abroad... na lie o, all abroad no be abroad. Some systems in some countries are not foreigner friendly at all therefore you are not welcome... and thats just the way it is, so if you run to Belarus for instance thinking you would start western unioning your folks in no time like Tom ... Well, good luck. Bottom line some countries are just meant for her Citizens alone- oh by the way, some countries in Europe and Asia are even more "third world" than Nigeria. Do intense research about prospective countries you intend to migrate to and find out what is unique about them, if the uniqueness is compatible with your aspirations then give it a shot. If not then don't kill yourself, stay at home.

With all this what am I trying to say?
Please do not be "die hard" desperate to go abroad and Hussle, cancel that mentality. Build yourself up before venturing into unknown territories, there is a clear difference between a Foreign Expatriate and an Immigrant, I strongly believe in Nigerians earning the right to be called "Expats" not immigrants in general.
In doing so Nigerians as a whole would build a better image of themselves abroad... (Hopefully).
Based on one of your advice/post on a thread, I guess South America/caribean countries are better to hurstle compare to Europe and other continents... Am I right boss?

optimusprime2:


Please understand firstly that 500,000 NGN is equal to approximately 1200 USD.

With that being said, I am not mincing words in saying that 1200usd is completely inadequate for any "legal" process that can lift you out the shores of Africa. In fact in some cases it's not even enough for your flight ticket.

However 1200usd can conveniently facilitate you migrating to another African country. For example, Ivory coast or Botswana.

Fyi, Africa has some pretty decent countries, that are not bad to migrate to... personally, I really fancy Namibia.

If you dislike Nairaland, why asking a question. Always note that no one is obligated to answer questions because no one has been employed as the customer service agent here but share out of their freewill and willingness to share, so it should be respected and helps one to build social capital.

If you had truly read from the scratch, you wouldn't have been asking this question because it has been covered severally through the pages.

Eyaah.... sorry.
What were your questions?
1. You want to study Hospitality ( you have 10 years experience as a chef). That’s fantastic. Just search for your proposed course, and search the schools. Then apply. If they require more, they will tell you.


2. Cheapest/affordable city?
What if the ‘cheapest cities’ don’t have the course of your choice?



This is what you should do:
First:
Search for ALL the schools that offer the course you want.

Second:
Create a table with the following columns:
Name of school
City
School fees
Requirements
Comments/notes

Third:
Either apply on the school websites, or send specific enquiries to the admission team of the schools. They will reply you.
What a matured mind... Thanks bro
