you think say na yaba you dey? you took her home does not necessarily guarantee hitting it. she slept in your bed does not also guarantee hitting it. her consent is the key so your "takeaway" ish does not convey the message i wanted to see.

a woman sleeping in a man's bed has not given consent to sëx, she's just tired. if the man misconstrues this & he goes ahead, he might cop a räpe charge in the UK - that's 4 years of his life in prison......he must also register as a sëx offender for the rest of his life.

bebe2: It baffles me dat pple still use GTB to pay their school fees.

There are lots of companies here in the UK dat will pay it for u for far cheaper rates. Companies dat have been established for years. Ur £12,000 is unlikely to Make dem risk prosecution and losing their reputation.
nigerian love last min preparation, you know are nigerian who are planning coming here and they have not paid they tuition fees, so i don't think they will have time to look for reputable company to paid their tuition fees for them, even if they find one, am not sure up to 10% nigerian will just send 12,000 to a company they meet online, am not saying 400 pounds for 12,000 is small amount, but is less risky to paid gt the 400 pounds then send 12,000 to unknown person, so if something goes wrong GTB are easier to find, i think the average cost of studying in UK per year is like 18,000 to 20,000 so i don't think paying like 300 pounds more (assuming the company doing the transfer for you charge 100 pounds) will destroy your budget and you will have peace of mind

You can say that again
Planning WAY ahead is one thing the West excels at unlike our our fire brigade approaches in Africa
To all those intending to come and actively making preparations, please try and leave Nigeria two weeks before your course starts
Most schools will allow two weeks late resumption, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS A POISONED CHALICE
It takes between 1-2 months minimum to settle in here [please let others dispute and correct me if I'm wrong] cool cool
Please apply on time for your visas [I didn't because my money was fixed and elected to pay up my tuition before applying so as to reduce chances of a visa refusal cheesy cheesy cheesy thus had to wait for the money to reflect in the school's account and a new CAS ]
I got in a day before resumption, secured private accommodation after 8 days, had to wrap my head around the difference in learning styles, deal with the changes in diet[till I located African stores tongue tongue], weather, lifestyle ; the loneliness in the West etc
Many times I had to dig in deep and reject internal self-limiting negative voices that kept questioning my abilities and humming I was a failure
But now, God punish devil grin grin grin grin grin, it was all the challenges of integration
Even if na Cambridge, bring it on wink wink

salford has a better ranking, thus better employment opportunity both in nigerian and uk, this is because of the number of alumni of coventry in Nigeria is a bit high, most of them party goers especially those that study that the malaysia, singapore and dubai campuses because at the end of the day will you and them will get the same certificate 100% same no different so when you come back home if you are unlucky this party goers are already employment in the place you wanted to work is will be hard for you to get in ( because if employer employ 3 graduate from the same school with 2:1 and 2:2 and they can't do any thing i think it will hard for with first class from the same university to get job there ) but coventry has the best nigerian student union in uk so if you like staying with Nigerians conventry is the best place for you, they even has a lot of nigerian lecturers so you will feel just as home, even though salford too has a strong nigerian community is not as strong as Conventry
