I and your dad have a lot in common

efe22: You just sit here in naija or wherever you are now to talk poo of other countries. Since you were born, what have you contributed to Nigeria or where u reside now. I guess you mean making fast money through drug and other fraudulent ways in the UK. Talk is cheap

My dear friend, I don't do drugs, I'm not in the U.K Never will! What have i contribute to Nigeria? What have you contributed my friend? Shut it! In the next 50 years where will you be? Where will Nigeria be? Mtchew! Hopeless is hopeless there is no other word for it oh jare!

I go pooh all my pikin abroad, maybe they will help do the contribution.

Oni ranu!

Studying computer science but can't boost of a writing a program? Kidnapping? No job? Armed robbery? Ritualist? Exams like waec, jamb even degree exam you get to see the question a week b4 exam? Adults Fighting daily? Face me i face you? Daily generator usage? Should I rock your world more....? CALL A SPADE A SPADE!!! Even though abroad is hard one thing is sure with good grades and Good you get qualified on merits rather than man know man!

pDude: Nice thread. I am happy someone finally wrote this.

One important thing is that you should have an open mind and be hard working. Be wary of many nigerians here. They will get you into trouble faster than you can say "jack". Many of them have records ranging from misdemeanor to full blown criminal record. Fact! Also don't try to fake yankee accent or any such shizz. Mexicans, Chinese, Jamaicans, over here speak with their own accent and are proud of it so do the same.

Don't come over here and start trying to make good cash to send back home as soon as you arrive. The desperation to get wealth will land you in hot peppersoup and once you have a record (even as little as a DUI) it sticks to you like a plague and narrows your opportunity. Also remember that CCTVs are watching your every move at all times. Your apartment block even has one; so don't commit a crime and start begging say 'oga nor be me do am, na my twin brother'.

Also have a clear set goal of what you want to be. Don't try to solve financial problems in Nigeria of your family and relatives cos they will drain you the moment you send that first $100. Take care of yourself first and settle yourself first before any other person.

Also don't file for anyone who you don't know too well or any close pal. They might put you in trouble cos once USCIS is able to uncover any fraudlent activity in the person's record, next thing is the US Homeland Security is going to be on the petitioner's (you) case. They will begin to keep you under close scrutiny and even a misdemeanor can get your azz deported back to hellhole naija

Also obey their laws here. Leave Nigerian gra-gra behavior back in Nigeria. Be civil and pleasant to everyone you meet. Your big break may not come through a Nigerian but through another foriegn national.

Need I say more?

Why must you associate naija with a hell hole? What you call a hellhole is where others are thriving, making their fortune and moving up the social pecking order.

esere826: 9) CHOOSE YOUR UNIVERSITY CAREFULLY: These rules are not straight jacket rules. Think not of the rules, but of its effects. The university you attend in the UK could make a huge difference in your life. Remember that I said earlier that UK is an elitist country. Attend one of the 10 best universities in the UK, and you do not need to change your communication one bit (oyibos might even happily struggle to want to hear you or to speak like you). You might even graduate with a 3rd class, and Recruiters from all over the world will headhunt you while you are still studying. But offcourse we know that this might be competitive and extremely costly to get into such universities. This is were you begin to twig your strategy. As the Universities drop in rating, work hard to make a 2.1 or first class. For example, if you make a first class in a very cheap university, you'll still go as far as someone that made a 2:2 from Oxford all depending on how you play your card

Avoid attending universities that are expensive and yet have no real value. Its actually better to attend cheaper universities and make excellent grades. Look out for universities were good companies such as accenture, shell, Lloyds actively recruit from.

Pls, give an example. It will be appreciated by those that still have travelling to UK in mind.

Cant remember the relationships, but please do some research yourself. Google and the internet are your friend .
For example, searching for the key words "UK, university, career, Microsoft" brought out this http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/scs/ which is in Warwick university.

-You could also do a research by going to the career section of the top 20 UK universities and searching for their relationships with the big employers
-You could go to the FTSE or Fortune 100 companies UK career websites and search for their association with specific universities (I faintly recall that Accenture UK recruits MBA's from LBS)
-The research should take you roughly 1 month to conclude
