Lol, How could you have presented such an isolated website as a source of information?
   Visa is required only if the traveller intends to stay for more than 3 months:

worry246:
Citizens of Nigeria residing in Nigeria must apply for a visa to Chad in person at the nearest consulate of Chad in Nigeria. Please note, application procedures and fees may vary by location. If there is no consulate of Chad in Nigeria there may be a consulate of Chad in a neighboring country that covers the jurisdiction of Nigeria

You could have done a google search & found this out

Misleading misinformation. Nigerian citizens do not require a visa to visit Chat for a maximum of 90 days.

A 10 year old girl in Ughelli metroplolis, Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, Delta State, set herself on fire at the weekend.
The girl according to reports set herself on fire in the kitchen with a gallon of Kerosene after she had been scolded. The girl later died at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH)

Very lazy and poor information with no authenticity

[size=20pt]   Well, this is one other pathetic story, poor victims of a failed country.
  But there seems to be too much talks and comments with very little or no support here. . . Actually, things are easier when done orderly, therefore, i would like to suggest that someone (or some deligates) visit this family and make a video interview with them so that their situation may be more transparent; and this may attract more sympathisers
  By the way, what are the methods of donation available?[/size]

@Vicjustice
yeah! I was only trying to help my friend with the info. Definately i will be there next year. I taught you said work is guaranteed??. Or is there any more steps to take on the work permit ish. And what is the plane ticket price range to Istanbul from Naija?
Thanks
To all my haterz, i gat summin for ya'll,, "Go chop chicken & Die fast",  #Imeanit.
Night Night Ya'll

But i am not the labour minister of Turkey, so,there is no way that i could have guaranteed anyone a job?
   Besides, you will not be eligible to work in Turkey if you don't have her Residence/Work permit, and finally, you'd need to use a search engine to see Airlines time-table and costs.

coolboy4:
thank you very much, Exactly what i want to know first, Pls what will be required in the content of the invitation Letter.Or is there any resource where i can read to get info?

Yes, it's "possible", not only is it possible for a US citizen, an elien who holds a residence permit is also eligible to invite someone. Is this what you wanted to know?

coolboy4:
Hi
A friend want to invite me to US,
Is possible for a friend to invite some one?What type invition to send?
Pls just tell me everything i need to know plsssssssssss. im just wondering if it ever possible. He is a citizen

What is he inviting you for?

afrowale:
@Vicjustice
Na so my brother, i said the same thing to her and she said her dad pays a lot, that if things continues like that, she'll have to come back to Naija for her schooling. Na me tell am say make she no try am, say she go regret. "Abroad go do hin own, and Naija go maintain hin level"
Please can you help with the Ireland Visa Process? And how much is it gon cost??. + Work Permit.

If anyone offers to send you an invitaion letter, that is perhaps a very possible thing to do, but if anyone promises to help you with a visa of any category, there there's only one thing that this explains, the person is a Thief; only Visa Officers can do that, but i'm not one, so, i can't help in that.
But you said you'd be schooling in Istanbul next year, if so, why are you not talking about Irish work permit?

afrowale:
@Vicjustice
Wow! My old school mate is there (Dublin). But she said its an expensive country. Av u ever been to Istanbul before?

That greatly depends on her understanding of "expensive", as for me, i wouldn't say the same because, i know it is logical to make calculations and comparisons, let's not forget that the majority of workers in Ireland receive more than 10.30 Euros per hour, therefore, pound for pound, Nigeria is more expensive than Ireland.
And yes, i've been to Istanbul, and not only seen it, i've also lived in it.

Lmfaoooo!!! Hahahaha! Ukraine is already out of my plans. I see you are far better and experienced. I'm happy you came to my rescue, So which country are you in right now??.

[quote author=Sapele_Don link=topic=94557.msg9526295#msg9526295 date=1320961911]@Vicjustice thanks for your write up and contrary to what a lot of detractors have written about what i will call your personal travel experience,you basically have hit the nail on the head.

First,and this very important and that is anybody travelling abroad should travel on legitimate papers and in doing this save yourself the hassle of getting the rough treatments from the host country(immigration/police/job discrimination)but sometimes,even with your legitimate papers you still get hostile reception from the locals who in most cases are not happy that most of the lucrative jobs are taken by those considered to be "foreigners" and this is mostly common in the non English speaking European countries and that is why i will never advice anybody to travel to a country where LANGUAGE is a barrier.

I say this as you have to start basically from the scratch I.E learn their language(s) and ways to be fully accepted and integrated into their society.

Comfortability/condition of living in a foreign is subject to different interpretations by different interpretees but the bottom line is no matter how comfortable or integrated one is a foreign land,there is that secret yearnings in the most inner recesses of our minds that we wish we were back home(Nigeria)surrounded by our loved ones,in a familiar terrain and with people with same culture and so this tells me that there is no place like home.

I have read a lot of the commentaries here and find some really educative,others bordered on tribal sentiments,some outrightly funny and some just plainly ignorant as people find it hard to accept the truth and the harsh day to day reality of life Nigerian's in the diaspora face.

@Vicjustice there is a saying in the Eastern part of Nigeria(i am from Sapele Delta State before the tribal Warlords start finding faults in my quote)which goes thus TRAVELLING IS PART OF EDUCATION and for that i take you as an enlightened man.

Let me start from the UK where i did my Post-Graduate study and worked some years ago. I still think the UK is the most diificult place to live in as a Nigerian in Europe for one simple reason and that is the OVER POPULATION OF NIGERIAN'S there and this has its UPS and DOWN side. It is very difficult to see Nigerian's in the UK not sharing a flat,most two bedrooms have 3 families living in it(the living room is converted into a living quarter),especially those living in London as it too expensive to get one to yourself and the toilet cleaning and kitchen sharing arrangement?simply pathetic. Accomodations are a little cheaper for those living in cities outside london but the UK still have one of the most draconian tax system in the world and i think the only thing you don't get taxed for is for going to the toilet.

This guys tax you for having a TV(tv licence),you pay congestion charges for driving through some parts of the city,cant park your car anywhere and most annoying is it is difficult getting a good job there no matter how educated you are so most educated Nigerian's there have taken to HUSTLING(Yahoo/Drugs),cleaning of toilets(KPEKE and this is mostly done by illegal immigrants),Security Guards(my friend who has two Masters Degree from the UK does that now for lack of a Job and the hours/shifts he gets barely sustains him). Far in between you run across Nigerian's who have their own business and doing well or those with good jobs but it is not common anymore.

Life in the United Kingdom could best be termed a FACE-ME-I FACE-YOU life.

@ineh, France is cool and Paris is fun and i use to joke with a friend of mine that Paris is the only place in Europe i will sleep outdoors with my two eyes closed in the street as an African. It is a very common sight in the night to see blacks sleeping in front of all the shops when they are closed for lack of where to sleep. The difference between France and the UK is that you find much of people from the Francophone African countries than the Anglophone countries there and there are hundreds of this African's LITERARILY sleeping in NYLON TENTS somewhere between Gare du Nord and the Airport in Paris(whenever i visit Paris and taking the train to the town center from the Airport i see them from the train window)one day i curiously asked the hotel porter why the French Govt dont take drastic action against them and his reply to me was THAT IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO DEPORT THEM,AND MOST OF THEM ARE IN PARIS TRYING TO GET TO THE UK through the Eurostar Train and after they get tired from lack of Job in Paris or do not succeed in crossing over to the UK,they usually go to some other European countries. There are no Jobs in France and strange as this may sound i usually don't run into Nigerian's there a lot as the few who usually get the French Visa usually proceed from there to Spain,italy,Germany and those other Schengen countries.

@proo212,Germany is not racist?are you joking?if Germany is not Racist then i am Baba Suwe.

Germany is the most racist place on this EARTH and i should know better as my job takes me to Germany (in the Hamburg area)sometimes and i can go on to give you a million instances but for lack of time i will copy and paste my last experiences from another write up i put in on Nairaland some weeks ago at the Frankfurt Airport.

*Two Saturdays ago, on my way back from Nigeria(Lufthansa)i did the transit thing in Germany to and fro from the States and this was my first time flying through Frankfurt as i usually go straight to Nigeria. Immediately i got off the transit bus into the building i was stopped by this German Custom guy who asked for my Passport, i brought out my passport and gave it to him. Next question was where are you going to?i said the US and his next question was how long did you stay in Nigeria and i replied one week. Next question what do you do? and so i am thinking this is getting interesting.

Next question?how did you become an American Citizen?and i asked him are you serious?and his answer yes and my reply to him is you are not serious.


Ordinarily if this questions were to arise at all it will be if i am entering Germany and have to go through their immigration and custom, but by law somebody transiting and in the transit hall is assumed by law not to be in the country he or she is transiting from but maybe this guy dont know that but about educating him soon.

Anyway, i told him vaguely what i did without going into details and still this guy was delaying me from catching my flight and it was not until he asked me how much i had for spending in the US that i knew this guy was out for trouble. First Sir, i am carrying an American passport which does not call for that question. Two, you are delaying me from catching my flight and Three i need to use the rest room real quick but still he was holding on to my passport and his body language was all set for trouble and so he called two other guys,me and three of them in an empty hall way.

It was at that point i brought out my ID which identified me and the nature of my job in the US(I work for the US Govt mildly put something bordering on National Security)and requested to speak to their supervisor,and this was where the fears came into their eyes as they thought this was another Nigerian guy holding a foreign passport they could push around but are now seeing they might be starting something with the US and German Govt which might spell trouble for them.

I am telling you this so that you will know this guys did not care about my US PASSPORT as they were hell bent on delaying and pushing me around for no reason and i will bet you my next tax returns that a White man holding the same American Passport i am holding will not be delayed and asked how much he has to spend in the US and how he became an American Citizen,really?.

It was while using the rest room that it hit me i got that treatment because i am a Nigerian and that is why i filed a formal complaint there and in the US when i got back.

If you are a Nigerian holding any foreign passport and still have an accent 5 out of 10 times you get the rough treatment at most port of entry in the world and i should know because i travel a lot*


@kood i find your story unbelieveable that there are American's living and working in Europe illegally and the first thing that came to my mind was that if there is such PERSON then he must be running away from the LAW in the United States.

American's are not that rich but an average American who can afford a ticket to Europe usually lives a moderate life and will prefer living in the United States and will only go out if it is a legitimate job related and even the Jobless one's will prefer living in the US and be getting their Jobless/Welfare check every friday than going to another man's land to hide from the law,and there is one thing American's have which a lot of others lack and that is PRIDE and will not descent so low as to hiding in other countries. It is just simply UN-AMERICAN.

Canada is okay.

My best advice for people wanting to live outside Nigeria should first try the United States and if it does not work then should try Canada,though life is not ROSY in this two countries but it is far far better than anywhere in the DIASPORA.[/quote]Well done, Man.

@vicjustice, i really enjoyed your thread. it the good work going.
  Anyway, i want to find out about Norway, cos i was told its not an Eu zone and it belongs to schengen . and there are restrictions. pls i need u to explain this to me,  thanks for the reply

That is correct, Norway in not part of the EU, but it participate in the Schengen treaty thus making it a Schengen state. And as a Schengen country, a foreigner who holds the Norwegian Residence Permit enjoys equal rights with others who hold the residence permits of other EU/Schengen states, there is no restrictions.
   And although, Norway is not part of the EU, but the Norwegians also enjoy the same benefits as the heavy weight countries in the EU under the treaty signed on the 1st of January 1994, when Norway became a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) which comprises of the EU member states and the three EFTA states: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. So, Citizens from the old (and richer) EU countries, as well as citizens from Liechtenstein and Iceland can work in Norway and vice versa. But citizens from the new (and poorer) EU countries must apply for, and obtain a residence permit before they can commence any employment in Norway and vice versa. Trust me, you won't need to go to these new (and poorer) EU countries for employment purpose,
   So, my friend, i do not see any restrictions against Norway, and if however there is an clause in the conditions of the relationship between Norway and the EU countries, believe me, it would be to the advantages of the Norwegians; it is not the EU that is rejecting Norway, rather it is Norway that is refusing to join the EU. Also, compare Switzerland

afrowale:
@Vicjustice
Thanks for the Info, but how is the economy?. Are the Citizens free and friendly unlike Ukraine??.

Turkey and Ukraine are two different worlds, there is almost nothing in which Turkey and Ukraine correspond; now, let's make the comparisons:
  Turkey is a secular state howbeit predominately Muslims, therefore, they consider racism as a sin; so the only racist attack that you might experience in Turkey may be from some worthless people who might call you "Yham-Yham" which means Cannibal: It is unheard of that a Muslim person would attack another person on racial ground, that is just not Islam. But as for the Ukraine, their Skin Head Racists are extreme in physical violence and can attack you with deadly force; they could shoot, stab, or even beat up a black or Asian looking person to death.
  Ukrainian standard of living is one of the worst in the whole of Europe with its minimum wage as low as 85 Euros a month.
  One point in which Ukraine is superb is the availability of their beautiful women for romance and marriage compare to Turkey where most of their women are protected from you on Islamic grounds.
Read more about Ukraine in this quote:

Vicjustice:
Take these points into account:
*Be prepared to always watch your back whenever a person walks behind you as the Skin-Head racists there are extremely physical and can attack you with deadly force.
* Always make sure you don't walk alone at night or in an empty street during day time.
* Always make sure you're fit and athletic enough to enable you run fast for your life whenever you're being chased in the streets by their Skin-Head racists.
* Prepare yourself to always elude banana missiles that would be thrown anonymously at you in the streets from storey windows.
* Be prepared to get familiar with the "Hail Hitler" salute, and also with the name "Makaka" (Russian word for Monkey) without protest as protesting them may cost you blood.
* You'd learn to be appreciative whenever someone says to your face "Go home Nigger" or calls you "Makaka" because, the same person could have shot or stabbed you and ran away.
* Be prepared to be mockingly offered bananas occasionally, and know that you won't have any police to report the abuses to as there is no law in place against racism in Ukraine.
* Ensure that you have enough funding from Africa to maintain yourself as you would never find a job how much more to talk about its poor wages ranging from 754 to 900 Ukrainian Hryvnia (about 70 to 85 Euros) a month.
* Be prepared to sometimes sleep in extremely cold room during their biting winter as you might find it difficult to pay for the Soviet style central heater.
* Be prepared to study in an ancient Greek style alphabets
* Bear in mind that your education certificate will not be recognised in EU countries as you will definitely have to upgrade.
* Bear in mind that you would have to return to Africa as soon as you finished your education because, you would not like to become a wayward person like many stranded and frustrated Africans before you.
* If you're not yet married, then, you may benefit from the only good thing that i reckon about them, they have some of the most beautiful women in the world: tall, slim, blonde an elegant sexy girls who crave for black guys.

What normal person is supposed to take offence of this ? Nigerians for you

You are right Vic , and when you make your 250euro per month i will advice you to go to Arasta Bazaar you can get a Male suite for 18$ i bought 100pcs in the year 2008 i was giving 40kilos free of charge each suite weighed 1.5kilo considering 9ja customs but naija buy on credit and pay you after 6months,

keep up the good work.

Turkey is a very industrialized nation, in fact, it's more industrialized than 80% of the countries in the EU, so i don't think you'd have much of a problem finding a "shabu-shabu" (Turkish word for Quick-Quick) job in a Turkish factory; but the problem is the wages, you would be paid less than 600 Turkish New Liras (240 Euros) a month
