justwise: Pls when you go to Abam, be ready for their terrible customer service. |

LabourParty: Oh really? Been there couple of times with my mate with no particular issue apart from waiting a bit too long for payment. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by LabourParty(m): 10:51pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
Yes, the waiting is ridiculous. They spend too much time talking to customers after serving them. It's just crazy. |

LabourParty: That is true, so true. |

Your feedback would highly be appreciated |

mayo47: Give them the middle finger bro... 1.) It's unrelated to your field of specialization... 2.) It's unpaid!!! You bring thousands of pounds into their economy and a year after....they still want you to do unpaid work? Are you a philanthropist? Or you run a charity? How will you survive here with unpaid work? Even those in paid employment scratch....so how will you do it? I'm only here until I write the CFA exams in December.... I will definitely leave 2 days afterwards!! cold people, cold country 1 Like |

mayo47: Posh job title - No wage attachment !!! It might have been a good preposition if a wage was attached. Something to add to your cv for future interest. |

mayo47: Valuable work experience IMO (if you can afford it) something for your CV and networking- fancy title too Ask for travel/lunch expenses if you can 735i: it's not compulsory, He applied for it many students applying for studies in the UK especially after the cancellation of the PWS visa ARE (should be) aware of working limitations in the UK/EU 2 Likes |

DisGuy: He sought opinion… I gave him mine…. He already has cognate work experience from Nigeria… and its safe to assume he wants to return to Nigeria to work. If you're suggesting he stays back in the UK to do "charity" work; … Factor in the cost of living and the fact that he could actually land a paid job in Nigeria when he gets back….. well… what can i say…it's his decision to make... Was he aware it was unpaid work before he applied? If the answer to this question is yes; then id say he's made his decision already… What i'm saying in essence is; there are other factors to consider before he takes an informed decision; not just the fancy job title... |

735i: Bro you are massively underestimating the value of work experience especially when you have it on your CV from both side of Atlantic. It's not always about money 3 Likes |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by DisGuy: 1:05pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
735i: The way i read his post, he's finished with his programme, probably has some few months left on his visa...so not necessarily staying back..just filling in with some real work experience... |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by 735i(m): 1:33pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
justwise:Well....you may be correct.... Perhaps I do underestimate it.... DisGuy: Fair enough.... Well...Mayo47.... Here you have it.... Arguments from both sides of the equation.... Wish you luck as you decide |
