johnnyvid:
which standard of living please? is it not the same country where the daughter of the late president has HIV aids. AIDs are most predominant in your country. you can't deny that OK. google is your friend. you are talking about unemployment rate, it is at high rate in South Africa. don't tell me what's not here. I will burst you severally. an average Nigerians are more educated. my generation alone are all educated not to talk of of other families. just mention top educated people in the world, out of 10 people in the world, you will see Nigerians there you can't deny that. corruption is embended in this nation, but it doesn't says that there's no corruption in South Africa. is it not huge corruption cases that the legislative arm of government probed Jacob zuma that he was finally removed from that seat. you cannot deny. corruption is huge in your nation OK. don't be saint.

Lol you forgot to tell her how their nations economy is in the hands of the whites. The infrastructure and every good thing you see in that nation is the hardwork of those whites living with them. Their blacks are very lazy, irresponsible and jealous. The only thing their men knows how to do is to drink alot. In that nation, when going out after 7pm is a great risk.

RIP to those killed in this attack..

But why are the people being buried according to Islamic rites?

Obi1kenobi:


What the fucckk are you rambling about. I was replying the comedian who said people only know Kumasi or Accra in Ghana and I'm asking him if he thinks your average non-Nigerian knows anywhere outside Lagos and maybe Abuja. What does that have to do with what you're talking about? You want to show me how many cities you can name?

I am only trying to correct your perception that a country’s development depends on the popularity of its cities.

Obi1kenobi:


Apart from Lagos and maybe Abuja, which state does an average African know in Nigeria? You jokers are deluded beyond belief. Nigeria is an absolute shiithole of a country. The living standards in the North are no better than Somalia or South Sudan. The South is a filthy mega slum with basic amenities like electricity lacking. Years ago, several manufacturing companies like Dunlop, Michellin and subsidiaries of FMGC's like Unilever were running from Nigeria to small Ghana. Many Nigerians are flooding their universities while ours lie decaying and you no dey shame beating your chest over a failed embarrassment of a country. You think having 200 million people that breed like rats with a fast-rising population is an achievement? That is the measure of a great country, abi?

It doesn’t work out mr man! In alot of nations across the world it is the same situation but it doesn’t make their other cities poor or under developed. If you ask most people about cities in USA, majority will mention only New York, a few can mention along with maybe Los Angeles or Houston. In china, most know only shanghai but Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenyang are all big cities too, in SA, most people know only Johannesburg, in UK, London maybe because of EPL, some might know Manchester or Liverpool. Germany, Frankfurt, kenya - Nairobi, S.korea - Seoul, Japan- Tokyo, Canada- Toronto, UAE- Dubai, Russia - moscow .. they are alot it’s just the norm mr man! When you want to argue, argue with facts and also be objective

My comment here about this whole issue about comparing both countries is this. ThankGod i have been to both countries. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Its left for you to accept which you view as being a better nation. Firstly the issue of corruption is in both nations but higher in Nigeria due to the enormous wealth in the nation (crude oil). Ghana has a lesser population than Nigeria, and fewer tribes/ethnicities than Nigeria. Any nation with a large population, and diversity like nigeria is bound to face such kind of problems facing nigeria today because you find different people with different interests. About development, i think despite corruption, Nigeria is far ahead of ghana, in Ghana aside accra and kumasi, most of their other cities remain poor and rural. Compared to nigeria where by almost all the 36 states now have universities and airports with a few good looking buildings even though there is mismanagement but this is everywhere. Now military, nigeria has by far a stronger military than their Ghanian counterparts, I doubt if a country like ghana could cope with an issue like boko haram if it was in their borders. One major thing i noticed about both citizens is that Nigerians happen to be very unpatriotic unlike their Ghanian brothers. But when you talk of the people, i believe Nigerians are more hardworking than Ghanians in my own point of view, other sectors like entertainment and sports, for that we all know there is no base of comparison, nigeria takes this ones. For education, ghana has a relatively better education than Nigeria. Then economy, i think here also there is no base of comparison, lagos state alone in Nigeria can be compared with the Ghanian economy. 1 cedi being stronger than even the yuan (¥) does not still make Ghanian economy stronger than the chinese. Mind you despite that, food is more expensive in ghana, just a bottle of water in ghana can buy you almost 3 bags of pure water in Nigeria, Ghana depends on food exports from Nigeria also. Both countries share same issues of unemployment and poverty among a percentage of their population..For crimes, it is everywhere but higher in nigeria maybe due its relatively higher population than ghana, so that is much expected. About electricity, don’t be misinformed. Even in ghana electricity goes off atimes but it is still better than in Nigeria. In conclusion, in my own opinion, despite the challenges, i think for now Nigeria is ahead. My advice is nigerian media houses should learn to portray the good side of their nation than bad, I think they are part of the problems nigeria faces. Also Nigerians need to be more patriotic, united. Your major challenges for now are corruption, security and some sort of political instability.

For the Ghanaians, you should love and embrace your neighbours, you are also getting there. Keep it up

Was he ever in a good form at leicester before??, i doubt if he will ever feature in any match next season...how can a player that's not upto 28 years marry two wives within the space of two months?? __and see peeps chearing him up, smh.

why do you like saying what you don't know? he has been married to his first wife (now ex) for a long time even before he transferred to leister city. now they are divorced, he has a new wife. so what is wrong in that?? or do you prefer him having an affair with her out of wedlock?? secondly, you are only good in criticizing him, why cant you congratulate him for his chieftaincy title first? after all you were happy and busy celebrating when ibori, an ex convict/corrupt politician was given a title when he returned...and bukola saraki too then when he was facing charges for false asset declaration, smh... this guy built a sports facility center in his state with his hard earned money over 500 million, you cant praise that. let me ask you, which one has your governor built in your state even with the taxes you are paying or of what way has any player from your home town who plays abroad has impacted the lives of your people.............mr man you really need to be objective when criticizing .
have a nice day!!!

binaflexia:


Hey bro
Are you already in Russia?
Do the Russian embassy accept HIV certificate from any hospital or they are specific like in the case of medical insurance.

Since. Its really cold here. No only from government hospitals not private

binaflexia:


How did it go and what questions where you asked?

There are possibilities of an interview because I witnessed it when they asked one guy to come back after 3 days for an interview but I don't know maybe he paid the other processing fee of 27k or so. But for me, I did not do any interview. Just gave the man my documents, he went through them, gave me a paper which I filled, it was for legalization, then he submitted the paper, then they sent another paper back again stating how much my bill was, it was 61050 . Then I paid, he gathered my documents along with the money and submitted. I waited for like 10mins, they sent a paper back which was for my visa pick up. That was all. Don't forget to get a sponsorship letter signed by your sponsor. The name of your sponsor should be thesame with the one on your bank statement.

binaflexia:


Thanks for the info.
Have you done your interview?

Yeah

wizdavee:
proff how far? how was ur process for russia...was it successful.its been a while

Sorry I just got your message, when you type prof not in complete professor554 I won't see it among mentions. Anyways, I am good. everything is fine and settle just waiting for entry date. How far with yours?

@homeboy232

I am not saying it is not easy to get a new passport. But thinking you can outsmart them is not possible. If you have committed any crime with your previous passport, they will know as the new E- passport has previous passport number on the datapage along with new passport number. You can ask people who have done passport renewal within this year. And you can't your previous passport number from them even if you can't produce your previous passport. They will get the number from your finger prints and your finger prints is yours alone. Not even twins have the same finger prints. Lastly embassies no longer stamp a rejection on ones passport. Only maybe all this under developed nations embassies. US,UK, china and so many nations I know use biometrics. They have your finger prints and they have your data on their system that is all. Why police deportation is gotten in one day is nothing of crime. It is a simple process. They just get your biometrics and see if you have been deported or not same tp character to see if you are an ex convict or not. Like I said your finger prints is for you alone. So no need for over screening. It is a thing of 1-5 minutes. And if you have any problem, criminal investigation department will not clear you as it is affiliated to interpol. Which means if you escape naija, you can't escape interpol.

The world is gradually becoming an unsafe heaven for criminals.

fighal:
the 10m u mentioned is it 10million or 10meters?
what is the minimum amount to have in your bank account to study in russia

I meant 10m. I was just giving an example. Really I can't say but aleast have something good though from 3million above.

CzarRex:
thanks a lot!...actually was rejected by the Ukrainian embassy tho

Ukraine and russia are having serious diplomatic problem. Infact I care is not taken, it could plunge the two nations Into war. So you don't have to worry. Besides the reason you gave for your rejection i.e incomplete documents and insufficient funds. There are possibilities that your circumstance has changed and both embassies have different requirements. I 10m is insufficient for ukraine, that does not apply to russia, they can choose to accept you like that. If your documents were incomplete then, no might not be same and besides their requirements are different .theres nothing to worry about there.

homeboy232:
OK all good nothing do you , your situation is 50 50 chance, reason for your previous visa rejection at other countries can still affect you ..now listen carefully .. You have three options . first u gamble and apply direct 50 50 chance, second back door 99%, third get a new fresh passport 99% ..

Change of passport is not done without genuine reasons. Even if you do it. Now the E-passport has previous passport number on the data page. Even if one lies that it is Either lost or burnt and that has to come with police report. And when you do biometrics, they will get your previous passport number using your finger prints and it will be placed on your data page. One just can't escape now.

CzarRex:
hello house,been an ardent follower of this thread...thumbs up to ya'll keeping this thread lively

Hello, the questions asked during a visa (student) interview from personal experience are general questions like why the country, course, school, who your sponsor is and so on. Also, to the question of if they will know of a visa rejection. That depends. If the rejection was stamped on your passport as it is done in the past then obviously they will know if they go through your passport pages. But if it is not stamped, then that depends on which country's embassy rejected you. For example if the US embassy rejected you, even on the basis of being a threat to national security, I don't think they will share that's intelligence with the russian federation. Because their diplomatic relationship is not that strong. But if US rejects you, then obviously countries like  UK, canada, France and other western allies will likely know because there is intelligence sharing between them. But if you were rejected by a strong russian ally like china or belarus, then there are chances that the russian embassy will be aware. My advice is just be truthful, and prayerful. Everything works with the will of God. All the best in your interview. ‎

God to police head quaters alagbon .. and save your self the stress ... hold like 7 - 10k sha ..

Max 30mins , you are done ..

Not necessarily alagbon. I did my own in kaduna state police command. Just go to www.npf.gov.ng/character and fill it online and then take the print out to the state you are residents police command and do your biometrics. Or you can just go to the police command in your state and tell dem you want to do it. It took less 48 hours and I got my own. It is only if you are in a hurry that you need that alagbon but if not, save your self the cost of travelling to lagos

wizdavee:
U are right bro.Offline application is saver.what about offshore too? should I feel naira debit for it.The sample form upload for the transfer I can't see swift code there,only sort code.

Yeah no swift there but for mine,what i did was when writing the beneficiary's address, i wrote it in full then gave a space and placed the swift code there e.g (number 5 gra ikeja lagos, nigeria. Swift:sgdjdjd) that is an example of how i did mine. Then same to the intermediary bank, wrote the name,address and account number along with swift e.g (ABC bank number 5 gra ikeja lagos nigeria account number 1234567890 swift code:asdfgjkd). Then that place they asked for sort code, I put the beneficiary's swift code there

wizdavee:
prof..I only deposited 1000 dollars to the dorm acct but I will want the school to receive the exact amount.what about all the charges like vat,offshore and so on.I will want all charges deducted from my naira acct instead of the dorm acct.How will I inform banks about it? cos it is dat exact 1000 i want to transfer

Firstly, ask them at the bank if it is possible to transfer everything in your dorm account and leave it at 0. If that is possible then when filling the form, after filling all necessary details (ordering customer, beneficiary name,address, account number, swift code along with intermediary bank details if there is any then when it comes to account number, for principal charges, put the dorm account number then for commission/telex charge and so on put the normal GTbank account number. You see why I said it is better you do it offline thats the foreign funds transfer request form so that they can guide you when filling it so not to make any mistake

wizdavee:
thanks I got the dort acct today and I was told to credit it which have done.Hopefully by monday I can start using it so as to transfer my fees.Honestly it wasn't easy getting references but am glad.How do I use the online banking? I was asked to pay for token.

Yeah to fully use that gtbank app you need a token, there is a small form they will give you, you will fill it there then they will deduct the money from the account you put and it will be issued to you. Then if you do any transaction the token will generate a code for you then you write what you see there to complete the transaction. But for wire transfer its better to do offline that is collect fx transfer form, fill and submit than online incase of any error so the person in charge can guide you. All the best!!

Best Regards

wizdavee:
since u said dorm acct has its own numba but this one I got on my mail is saving acct numba.it was a dorm acct details I was expecting to see or may be I must deposit before i can be sent dorm details acct.I will go to bank sha

They both have different account numbers. Don't forget to link/enroll for bvn. The accounts can't work without being linked

wizdavee:
its as if u don't really get me bro.I got a message that my saving account is ready(with the number) cos I opened it along with the dorm as it is mandatory.I expected to get a message about dorm acct number or is that how it works because I haven't deposited any money.Does it mean my dorm acct is ready for use?

Yeah it is possible. You know things change on daily/weekly/monthly or even yearly bases. It is possible you can now open with nothing though when I did mine back then you must deposit. Just like how a couple of years back only the rich can afford to open an account with same gtb because of the huge opening amount they request for but now, with 1500 self you can open. So they might have changed their policies. But comfirm from them either physically or through email or fb.

Really I can't tell. Confirm from the bank. Because when I did mine, I was already operating my normal account for about a year or two. Then I opted to open a dorm account which I collected the forms and did everything after which they emailed me my account details.

wizdavee:
prof..thanks for all the help.I already done everything necessary on the dorm acct set up and I was asked to wait for my acct number.Right now,I just got a message on my mail stating that my new saving account number from GTB.Please does it mean my dorm acct is ready for use or does it have acct numba of its own? though am still going to bank.

Congrats!!. Dorm has its own account number too just like your other normal gtb account. But guy you fast o! You got guarantors on time unlike me that it took sometime. All the best

jasedu60:
Yes, only. only at Alagbon.

If you are out of Lagos, you can use www.NigeriaCRb.com it will be delivered via DHL.

This nigeriaCRb, is it both the character certificate and the deportation certificate they will issue or just one.

godsong:
it was also my personal account.. like I said it's optional for you to pay the onshore charges and offshore charges while filling the form or it will be deducted from the money sent if you don't check that you will pay.. Tell the person who needs the services to go the the bank you opened yours to make good inquiry before engaging but all the same Dom payments are faster than form A.

Yeah we are saying the samething. That form A abeg na rubbish. It takes weeks with no assurance. That form A wasted my time because I wanted to buy forex atleast on a cheaper price but at the end I realized its better I buy the expensive and pay my tuition or loose my place in school.

godsong:
your wrong bro.. There are two charges infact.. Offshore and onshore.. As of 2015 it was $30 each .. If your going to pay $1000 then you should make sure you pay $1060 if not the total amount that would get to the schools account will be $940 or less. Ask the bank for the current charges for transferring.like I mentioned a long time on this forum rather going through the stress of opening a Dom account and paying $100 for opening for most banks (note your not getting that $100 back) you can look for some or family member that has and could help.. You just buy the dollar and pay through their account.opening should be your last option.

This is my personal account I am talking about. I got the debit alert through my email and as well phone number and that was the only amount deducted from my account.

wizdavee:
Good morning prof.Am already processing my dorm acct with GTB.As regard this form you sent me,what is the meaning of offshore charge? Also what are the charges like whenever am about to transfer my fund? I just wanted to pay 1000 dollars

ok that is good. Offshore charge is the charges that may arise abroad thats the destination but you can choose to pay it sp that the school will get to recieve exactly the amount you want to pay. When i did my transfer the last time I was charged $20. Ask the bank to help you calculate how much you will pay as offshore and other charges but I think it won't be more than $10 but ask them so to be sure

wizdavee:
if I open with that amount 100 dollars,will I have access to withdraw it fully after opening the account?

I don't think so. But ask them there in the bank maybe they have changed their policies but for me, i always leave the $100 i deposited when opening the account

wizdavee:
Thanks for that bro.But that form is for the transaction details not the one for opening the Dorm acct.Am I right?

Yes. The one for dorm account is different from this. That one is account opening form and two other pages for guarantors signatures and account numbers. Your guarantors must have current account in any bank that is working and it is not salary account. Also to open a dorm account you must have a normal savings account with GTbank. If you get there they will explain everything to you better.

wizdavee:
Bro thanks as I do appreciate ur response.How long does it takes to open that at dorm acct at GTB if I open now? how much will I have to have to get it activated? Then how do I send the fees to the school from the accout.Please brief prof

This is the form you will collect
