Help o! I need emergency help o! I tried to order from matalan.co.UK but it is not accepting my Nigerian master card because I can't enter the Nigerian billing address. What do I do o? I am a size tiny and I rarely see my sizes in shops so I have to order for a thick jacket online. And they have one that is on sale. Please help me before they sell out. I am on my knees begging. This cold is dealing with me mehn.

Okay. I just bought stuff from matalan's online shop so that it could be delivered before we went on holiday. I used my Visa credit card and it accepted my details.

She tried that already and it did not work

Oh! Petite, that explains it. Have you tried using your UK address with your Naija card? It worked countless times for me.

Hello everyone, I'm doing my youth service now and I'll finish next year April. I want to do a post graduate diploma in education in UK, I need suggestions for schools I could apply, accommodation, Visa process, work too while I school. I have a BSc in Statistics, will I be able to get a job that'll pay my fees? How do I go about it all? Please I need your advice...

Don't bother to come to the UK. Try South Africa where the tuition is cheaper. Some of the schools in SA are ranked higher than the UK. You can use the tuition here to build a house. The UK is making it less attractI've for non Europeans to come and study here. I am here on a PhD self sponsored. I know better now.

Please tell them my brother. Even getting a visa is now tougher. They have increased the maintenance funds you need to have. I remember it being £820, now it's over a thousand for outside London.

Noted... My point however is that the cost is no longer in sync with the benefits. I know it involves more going to Australia or Canada but in the long run it might be more beneficial particularly to those wanting to live abroad.

Arguably 70% of those wanting to study abroad want to work abroad even if just few years.

Hello house, I got my student visa yesterday to study at Coventry University. It's quite late now and school accommodation has been filled up. Is there anyone here currently studying at Coventry who can advise on where to get accommodation and where to stay during my first few days of arrival? Urgent help is highly appreciated.

September is the entry period for most universities. Nursing, and a few other courses have January intakes. Plan for September, spend your free months preceeding, partying and having fun!!!!
