I think they do, I used the card here about two months ago. and I used it a couple of times last year as well. Do you know if this has something to do with the ban? I did the bvn thing before I left Nigeria.

You need to contact your bank. It's definitely not because of the BVN as it has been extended to October

I quite agree no current survival tips here, the students are not really talking things like the favourable bank to set up with or whether it is preferable to swipe cards alone? We don't knw The expensive food items dere, we dnt knw if it would be a waste of time to take some food items, we dont have an updated idea of food items that would be allowed? We don't knw the best telcom to set up with? We dont have enough tips on things 2 look out for when getting dat private accommodation everyone suggets? Apart from reading everyday and plagiarism are there other tips 2 note on "acing" exams? What r doz "new" stuffs dat consume cash quickly what stores are we to avoid? Frm what they've seen with students are there other legal ways to make cash? And there again jobs jobs jobs!!!! We need tips current ones..just 2 give us dat advantage!. Epp!! Make this experience worthwhile

You're right cool

Try using the card tomorrow I am guessing it's just the normal eish of financial institution not being available. I get that problem with my First Bank atm card sometimes even today.

Then she can ask specific question because some of the things she talked about has been discussed here and the situation still remain the same...e.g school accommodation vs private renting, getting part time job, best network to call Nigeria with...etc

I just think that sometimes people don't bother to read threads if its longer than one page

Well I do believe Justwise is right on this one, it's only when there are changes to things affecting life here that one can add new things otherwise basically everything has been covered.If there be anything that anybody needs clarification on all he/she needs to do is ask away and probably read some pages back.it's only 131 pages long what of threads that are like 500 pages especially those that have to do with visa application. Yes everyone loves or wants new information but the old one is like history which only adds or is some form of experience.

Then they have to be specific about the location they would be schooling.for instance someone mentioned leeds and bradford and she was given an idea,what to expect.even got someone that wanted to sell books abi accommodation.someone mention norwich and got no concrete idea.someone mentioned conventry and he got someone going there and other stuff including shieldfield hallam university with ideas where to stay etc.
And people started reading upsidedown that coventry is a good uni lols.

Since CBN has some new restrictions now pls what's the best way to transfer maintenance fees? Do I withdraw all d fees when I get there and open a Uk bank account? Though, I dont know the cheapest nigerian bank to use in terms of charges or do I take little cash and have someone tranfer the fees to a UK account? Thanks.
