why be cracking your brain to solve a white mans problem, when there are enough challenges in nigeria!?
who will the think of solution to nigerian problem?

Dude,
Nothing can be done, there are only three solutions
- Marry a british man/woman to get the right visa.
- Become illegal.
- Come back to Naija and pray you get a good job or start a small business of your own.

You can still get a job. I know several people that have gotten jobs even with the new rules. You can target companies that do not require permission to work in the UK. Even some that state that you require permission to work in the UK sometimes take non eu citizens. The only way you can know in such situations is by applying.

I really doubt it, I know when applying for IT jobs, they always ask for PSW or workpermit, most companies dont want to apply for anyone as it is a waste of time when there are EU citizens avaliable.

The few ones i know that one can apply for are the Blue-chip companies, like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Accenture, Ernest & young....and a few others, but the competition is CRAZY...I will not advise anyone to come and do Masters or school in the UK.

That is not entirely correct sir. If you check the Job boards, you will see that the companies you mentioned like accenture and Eand Y are yet to fill their 2012 quotas. The problem most people have is first during the application process. Deloite told me in my school that over 50% don't scale through that 1st process. So learn the tricks from your career service before you apply cos you only have 1 shot during the recruitment cycle and apply early too. I know a couple of people that have jobs in engineering already-including me.
