FOOD
Here are some tips for bringing in food into the australia.
Border has been opened and you're excited about traveling but things can turn sour quickly when your beloved food ingredients get thrown away at the airport .
1. Create and print a commercial packaging label (it's very easy to do; I can send you a format if you need one). P.S it shiuld be the sticky type that you can affix on the outside of the package.
2. Use a very good packaging bag (ziplock bag or one that can be sealed completely; a type of commercial seal)
3. Make sure your ingredients weigh 500g or less (you can decide to bring 60 bags of dried ugu leaves that weigh 500g or less)
4. It should be in a dried or grinded form.
5. Send mine....address coming soon
P.S It also depends on the type of custom officer you meet, you might follow all the rules to the later but it might not still work out for you therefore you can't neglect the God factor.

Other things you'll need (Covid wise)
1. Australian Declaration form (should be filled at least 3 days before depature)
2. Border permit for the state you'll be going to
3. A covid test 72 hours prior to depature
4. RAT or PCR test within 24 hours after arrival or follow rules of the state.

Goodluck on your journey

Good day,

I got a PhD full funded scholarship ($30,000 stipend) annually at University of South Australia which will commence by 5th of June. I have sent my transcript and waiting for COE to enable me apply for Visa.

The subclass 500 student visa allow me to go with my wife but I am worried if I will need to have a required sum of money to be declare for her upkeep.

I will appreciate any information in this regards.

Thanks

I just got my visa grant to study at The University of Newcastle.

Please I will like to know what and what I may need to come along with. What to checked at the point of entry.

How to get accommodation around the school?

I really can’t blame those doctors. Getting Australian license to practice for doctors trained in Nigeria isn’t a walk in the park and sometimes, you’ll look at the quality of life (and family time) you have with your present job and just decide you are content. Some of them will later pursue the license when they have settled other pending aspects of their life and settled most of their urgent black tax.

WORK! WORK! WORK!

It's only befitting that I start with this as it is usually the first thing that may cross your mind when the honeymoon phase elapses or in my case, the only thing on my mind 95% of the time. It's a well known fact that you need money to survive here and in order to do that, you need to work. Here's my take on this (please note, this has been my experience so far and you shouldn't take it as gospel).

If you're a student without scholoarship, sponsorship or you're not the child of dangote . You know you'll need money to survive.

i) How much are you willing to sacrifice to get that $$. (I like saying except you get a job that pays you $100/hr. It's hard to combine working more than 40 hrs a week and studies- I used to work between 80 to 85hrs per week and it was horrible). There are 3 choices
a) Sacrifice your studies for that cash ( you won't fail but you might not graduate with a distinction of first class.....you might fall in the category of people wey dey shout even P's get degrees). However before going down this route, think about what happens when you finish studying, will your grades affect your future career progression or not?
b) You give equal time to both studies and work: This is self explanatory.
c) You dedicate more time to your studies than working: Like I said earlier if you don't have a fat pocket coming into the country, OYO is your name and this might not work well for you.

ii) After deciding the above, think about what budget will be suitable for your needs. Please, don't make a mistake here, it's better you overestimate your needs than the opposite. Our gist for here na stories that touch the heart.

iii) Connect with people that have the right information you need. Please don't limit yourself to only Nigerians or Africans as you can miss out on a lot of opportunites by doing so.

iv)Research the sector you want to work in and find a job that you either like or can tolerate for a long time. If you get a job that you hate, after 3 months ( you go become regular visitor to HR because you lack motivation to do that job and will do things you aren't supposed to do).

v) After you have gotten the job there are some things you should consider:
a) Does the job closely aligns with what you're studying? (e.g if you're working in aged care and you're a nursing student). If the jobs does, that's good but don't sit down with a company for too long, explore and get other similar jobs. What you should be aiming for is a higher job position and pay so that by the time you are done with your studies.... Your resume would be looking soo juicy that the job you really want won't be out of reach.
b) if the job doesn't align with your future career and the reason that you are working there is because of $$, make sure you shop around and find a job for the highest amount of $$ you can find.

I must mention this. I have heard about some people (Nigerians) who studied medicine in Nigeria and are medical doctors but when they came to Australia they went and sat down in the disability sector. That calabash dem dey shake untop your head for village strong wella, make una continue.

TO BE CONTINUED!

I got admission into their M.A Language Studies to resume February ending. The time is so short. What do you think I should know, please?

OAOA:


10k in cash

The 10K in USD or AUD. I am planning to get some USD from a friend.

I think it's USD but I'd advise you dont have upto that in cash but saved in your account to avoid being queried.

You can ask your friend to hold on till when you get in, open an account then the money can be sent to your account for use. However, the money may take like 24/48 hours before it drops because it's a new account so the earlier you open the account, the better.

If they decide that life isn't for them, that's a different case but throwing away what they've studied for disability support work isn't worth it in my opinion. The human body won't remain young forever.
