Depends on ur pocket. You can go to all those car boot sales and get them at very cheap rates say 5-10 pounds and you could go to M&S and get them for almost 1000 pounds. The choice is yours...

Hello guys,

Please I just have a quick question. I'm rounding up my MSc this September and I would be staying in the UK till January. I've been working during my time of studies and therefore auto enrolled for pension scheme. I have access to my pension account online and all but what i want to know is if I will I be able to get my (by force) contributions when I'm returning home in January? Has anyone been in this situation before?

Look for part time jobs and do it no matter how little

Opening up ur mind to everything and anything good (Drop the nigerian mentality)

Hard work pays when yu are out of nigeria.

Hard work pays when you are out of nigeria?? you mean it doesn't pay here??
Most people end up doing jobs they won't for any reason take up in their fatherland! God bless your hustle though.

I like how you totally ignored the rest of message i was trying to pass along...

Ok let me decrypt what i was really trying to say...

Nigeria (Whether or not you want to admit this, is a society that follows the rule of who you know).

Outside of Nigeria though, that isn't necessary (Again you can chose to believe me or notttt) but as someone who has studied, lived and worked

and is still going thru that, i think I know just enough to know that my point is definitely on point. angry

Not yet, most of the accommodation sites are asking for guarantor details or payment in full. I've seen a good site but they need 2 people in each room (ensuite). So I'm searching for a potential Nigerian roommate, cos those whites have issues.

Two people in a room?! Is it a room with two beds and wardrobes? Why two in a room? We can easily look for a two or three bedroom flat or house with another Nigerian or African than two people in a room. Where is the location? I would like one in beeston, very close to the west end gate so that I don't have to enter public transport, just hop on the school bus to my campus which is after QMC.

Hi. I am resuming for a PhD this september. I have a room in a 2bedroom apartment and the 2nd room is currently vacant. The landlord is renting it for £218/month with internet but without other bills. The property is about 10minutes from the Jubilee campus. And for those studying at other campuses, the Uni shuttle can be used to commute.

This shop has reasonable prices and quality.
You can find goods at a local market cheaper, or at fashion stores much more.
