I think some people are just trying to be mischievous and keen on derailing this thread. People should just ignore such characters. Jump and pass their posts.

Our ever-willing Nairaland families in the same Melbourne have offered to meet up with him for chat/tips and I don't think he has taken up the offer.

We are one large family here, helping each other, let no one think he/she can scatter us.

To the troubled soul(s), may you be delivered and find peace wherever you are and choose to be eventually.

To those who are interested, Jesuit Social Services are having an information session on the African Australian Inclusion Program in Sydney. The program is primarily to help Africans who are having a challenge with getting a job as a result of not having local experience. Its a 6-month paid work experience with NAB.

Date - 15th February 2018
Time - 9.30am to 12.30pm
Venue - NAB, The Auditorium, 105 Miller Street, North Sydney

You will need to register prior to attending and take a photo ID along on the day of the event.

For registration, I think you will be able to do that on the Jesuit Social Services website.

All the best

Hello everyone,pls my student visa grant just came out.I need a female i can squat with before getting mine ,heading to melbourne Rmit...pls help needed...pls pls

Guys please let's save all these insults for our naija politicians and not ourselves. They are the reason why some of us are here discussing how to relocate to Australia . I just read on the news where one of them recently came to court on a stretcher

Moving on...

Since this forum is about living in Australia, I need to sound a note of warning. If you are coming here newly and are about to engage in a factory job that requires lifting load several times in a day, you must protect your back from injuries. You can do this by getting a back support belt from Bunnings Warehouse. You should also practise correct manual handling techniques like bending at your knees when lifting stuff. Nobody told me all this until after I had gotten an injury to my lower back. Even though I had stopped this type of work for six months now, I had a relapse last weekend and couldn't stand up for two days! No be small thing

Good thing is that you got a job in your field. So, I guess the main challenge is sorted. Every other thing is personal and can be taken care of by yourself if you so wish. You need to put things in perspective and make fair comparison. IMO, if your alternative was returning to the UK or Europe, then good on you. However, if you're serious about returning to Nigeria as the better option to living in Melbourne, then I'm afraid your sense of judgement has been greatly affected by the experiences you mentioned. Don't get me wrong, I cearly understand your experiences and considering your career profile and experience of living in other overseas countries, I can understand your dissatisfaction. I'm, however, not in support of your decision to return to Naija, and if you eventually do, I'm sure your wife and kids would not forgive you for such act. You really need to consider them as well and not just yourself.

I've promised not to write an epistle here, so if you really want a different perspective and advice, I'm happy to join in your coffee (beer) meeting to share views/experience. We may learn a thing or two from each other. There's also a whatsapp group for Nairalanders living in Melbourne. You can opt to be added so you can connect with other Nigerian migrants. I'm also happy to connect with you on any platform of your choice and at least give u reasons to debunk most if not all of your claims as there are positives or better aspect of life in Melbourne too.

You can also have a read of most of our stories; non claimed to be a bed of roses. We all had our challenges but were determined to rise above all. Here's is a long epistle of my personal experience if you have time and care to read:

https://www.nairaland.com/4107449/living-australia-life-australian-immigrant/7#61640311

PS: Even Australians and Aboriginals go through similar experiences like you. So, don't take it too personal.

Please can i know the whatsapp group

Care jobs pay very well. The Australian govt has invested heavily into caring for the disabled through a scheme known as NDIS. I know a naija guy here in Melbourne who does disability care full-time (i.e. Mon-Sun) and is raking in money. This is someone who has his PhD in a biological science . I was told that Disability care is even more lucrative than Nursing and less stressful. One can get paid betw $30-35/hr on weekdays and as much as $40-50/hr on Sundays and pub holidays. One would need to do a Certificate IV course on disability but because there is a high demand for these workers (speaking from a Melbourne perspective), some agencies such as OnCALL are willing to give you a short 4-day training to get you working sharply. I have attended this training (as well as bolaobby) and I have started getting shifts though only on weekends as I have my regular 9-5 infotech job on weekdays. Infact the agency keeps calling me to accept shifts on weekdays which I have repeatedly turned down.
One thing is for sure: except you are lazy or you are the type that likes forming, you cannot be poor in this country. Jobs dey plenty.

Bros, help your boy. Make person no die for this Naija. Any clue for me? The simplest way to see myself there.
I don't have funds for academic route. Abeg, help

bligs:

Honestly most shared accommodation come with the clause of no squatting unless you are fortunate to see a family that wanna take you in, your best bet is to try a backpacker for a week or two and search rigorously for an accommodation within that period.

malkinburg:
