A no of estates come up in developing areas. So a developer buys hectares of land and sells off the plan. As of early last year, it was fairly easy to get 5% deposit lands till title (when land is registered in the depositor's name at the title office) when the full balance is required, usually 1 yr span. So i bought it then- 5% deposit and sold before it titled at full price. Took my premium, my 5% deposit and paid off the developer. Now its more of 10% deposit developers ask for. The land value appreciates fast as well in traffic areas. Traffic as in choice areas.

Man wey sabi! Just two years and you don buy two lands already. I like your hustle bro. PM-ing you asap!

ITAs are landing again!

I just got mine after two weeks of submission. Congrats to mctowel too who just got his long awaited ITA.

Next is submission!

Special thanks to the Elders in the house. You know yourselves!

Congratulations greeneophyte!

mctowel01:
Hahaha
Very funny day. My battery was at 2% at 2pm waiting for the ITA. I was in the bank, waiting for confirmation before paying for medicals. Some mins past two, no invite... omo, I started thinking about the people that might have been doing me from the village. Next thing I heard was the round will be at 3pm. You need to see me asking security and strangers for usb charger. Shortly after the thing landed at 3pm, my phone went off till this evening.

Thaks to everyone that have been part of the journey to this stage. Respect to chief bnimz, the selfless mamajaz and Jamson. Crazy to say that this round is that last possible round for 60pointers in my occupation till God knows when and also the last complete round for the year's quota. Its all grace.
Its been a long journey.... Thankful

Correct!! Congrats chairman. You made it in the nick of time! Make baba God remember all of us oo.
Whats your occupation by the way.

mamajaz:
Kereoo! Kereooo!! Kereoooo!!!, This is to inform every family member here that mamajaz of chief bellong's Australia thread page on Nairaland has defeated IELTS arms down in the test which was conducted on 25th March 2017, LRW (7), S (7.5).

Where there is a will, there is a way!

Never give up! Never, never, never give up - Winston Churchill.

Congrats mamajaz. That dogged spirit of yours paid off at the end. When your grant comes, we'll all be here to celebrate with you.

Alphadoor:
How do people cope with waiting for assessment, ITA, Grant..
It's not easy oooo.

ACS should answer my call ooo . 16days gone

No worry bros. E go soon come. Nowadays ACS response time is much better. When I did mine in 2013, ACS used 8 weeks to respond to me. Meanwhile use this waiting time to clear your PTE. Make ur madam sef write PTE/IELTS because she go also need am. No dulling on any front...

incemay:
God is great!!!

It's my turn to testify........

Congratulations brother

jamson:
Ok folks....


God bless everyone!!!

Congrats again chairman. I go chat you up soon.

tyosho:
Thanks tosin.

@oknee:the car was advertised at 3400(negotiable) on gumtree(a toyota sportivo the one we call toyota big for nothing).We negotiated and got it at 2600 thinking we don jam deal we no say na we arab don jam.
So far we have spent over 2500 fixing the so called minor issues,airconditioning and getting a road worthiness certificate.mean while a friend i had here got the toyota pencil light at 1600 and it had road worthiness,airconditioning and was registered.So always look carefully and if possible take mechanic along.

This post is loaded. Thanks tyosho.

And happy birthday to you!

teewhysafe:
Just to answer no 2...i doubt remarking your writing can bump you from a 6.5 to 8 oh. A 7/7.5 would have been hopeful. But u really did well. Maybe you should practice your Writing and take it again.

teewhysafe is right by saying that a remarking wont bump you to 8. But if 7 is good enough for you, go ahead and apply. For some of us, a 10 point IELTS was good enough. But if not, take the exam again.

OzyMigrant:
Jamson! Jamson!! Jamson!!! Why is it now of all time you will not be reachable?

Jamson just landed in Sydney this morning. He's been travelling since Monday. So that's why he has been unreachable

tyosho:

I believe your question has been answered. Also you need to spend time to read information on this forum starting from the first page.

Oh my God! I can't believe it! My Testimony!!!!

I received my grant yesterday, I didn't even know cos I only just applied (less than 2 weeks ago). Here are my timelines.

Congrats man! DIBP dey vex now o.

ogbevireo:
Good morning all.
@Bellong and other gurus in the house.
Is it possible for my wife to be primary apllicant even if she will not be relocating to AU now as she has a very good job here in Nigeria.

She holds a masters degree in clinical pharmacy. So we can score higher points using her qualifications.

Kindly advise me.

Thank you.

In my opinion, it is not possible for the principal to still be here while the rest of the family is over there. This is because there's a minimum amount of time you must stay in Australia for your visa to be renewed.

I may be wrong though.

udi2111:
@vinsmuft ,please can you kindly send me the materials you used in pte, this is my email address mudiagaudi761@gmail.com thanks

All the best

sunvick:
Its funny When some folks just visit the thread for the 1st time and see goodnews of Grants, they start thinking that it was a 3-4 weeks process.

They start asking.....gimme the steps, gimme the process, gimme ur number, gimme all the details you used...........and the gimme spoon.....gimme pap crew.

Folatem:
@Vinsmuft, what document did you present as a proof of your spouse's functional English? Did she write ielts/pte, or just a letter from her school?

Yes she wrote IELTS and got minimum of 6.0 which meets the requirement

funkyjo:
@Vinsmuft
Congratulations bro..... Your grant was pretty fast. Happy for you

Baba God pick up my call oooo....

Yours is on the way. Thanks

bellong:
Congratulations Vinsmuft..

May the land prosper you and yours...

Thank you very much for all your help sir.

chidike:
Lmao! what bro code are you aligning with biko? Even though say you don get your grant, I would have said in such situations, argue for both sides and ultimately say that one's gender does not make him/her a better leader. I'm sure the woman go don x you, how do you give such an answer to woman wey dey interview you.

As at then I no think all this one. Na so I just enter one chance. Lol

Yeeshas:
Hi, Please can you send those materials to me, my exam is next week. my email address is aisha_aburime89@yahoo.com

Wishing you success

Thanks bro. PTE-A it is. I'll request for a re-mark though. I believe my scores for all components were adjusted around the speaking score which I knew would be low but not this low. The Black guy who interviewed me is probably South African or Kenyan (he's got this funny accent). I don't think non-native speakers should be recruited as examiners. Other than is accented English, his demeanour exhibits crass arrogance. He interrupts when you're well within allotted time to respond.
While I seek a re-mark, I do not advise anyone to take that scam IELTS. But if you do and the Black guy is your examiner, forget your 68k.

You may have a point. The last IELTS I sat for, a woman was my interviewer. One of the questions I was asked was if men make better leaders than women.In a bid to align with the bro code , I answered "yes of course" and proceeded to explain why. She immediately started shaking her head in disapproval which temporarily took me off balance and I started stammering. Don't know if that affected my score but I got 7 instead of my targeted 8 in Speaking.
So IELTS can be subjective. I have done PTE and can recommend it to anyone

234ng44uk:
Result of IELTS of 4th March, 2017 have just been released. I had a near perfect score which recently expired. Surprisingly, my scores in this latest test is unbelievable, it is ridiculous. How can one go from LRWS 8/9/8/8.5 to 7/6.5/7/6.5 in just about 2 years? Please note that I lived in the UK for the better part of those 2 year period. "I'm not understanding".
Is someone there cooking up scores? If that is the case then IELTS in Nigeria is a scam.

Don't give up. Personally I have written IELTS 4 times btw 2013 and now. While my reading and listening scores were consistent, my speaking and writing were not. You can either apply for a review of your results or you could look at PTE since it's not partially subjective like IELTS

Folatem:
Waoh! I'm inspired.
The fact that the move was initiated in 2013 got me energized.
May you prosper in the land.
Congratulations to you and your family!

Thanks very much.
