@ujugirl88 Dissertation time for most folks, others probably at a graduation ceremony, regarding your question no changes to the student visa rules at least none that I know of.

Basically, all small liquid contents (perfume etc.) should be packed in your checking bags
polish
perfume
indomie
shoe
spaghetti
rice
beans
garri

You can get these quite cheap here, but all your choice
gesha
sardine
soap
detergent
salt

You won't find good/tasty maggi here. Atleast, i haven't
maggi

You'll pass through with these ones if you're lucky.......Like me
But people advice you freeze them. I personally, just wrapped my honey with thick nylons and packed in the checking bag.


palm oil
groundnut oil


The main people that will give you problems would be Nigerian immigration. Most people don't get searched in the UK POE





Also, you forgot crayfish and smoked fish grin
Send us the address of your restaurant when you get here o grin

What I am driving at is how he got a job offer without first applying for the role. If they are making him a job offer, I assume there will be a company name and the terms of the offer except if he meant "job vacancies".

In that case I will assume you were interviewed by the companies and have an offer letter. Totaljobs is a popular site but I am not aware of career structure. Before you leave your job, make sure you have a job offer and a valid work permit. Also note that immigration into the UK is getting tougher.

What's with the hype about this Russell group hype biko?

I worked in a Financial Institution before i left Nigeria to study in the UK study and i was fortunate enough to sample opinions from 2 of my directors (who happened to school in the UK) on my choice of Uni here in the UK.

I got offers from Surrey, Essex, Leeds, Kent and Aberdeen.... when i brought up the Russell group argument; Both of them waved it away immediately.... "Who cares if you have a degree from an Elite school if it's not reflecting on your performance" was their curt response.

If you got a certificate from Durham and you can't prove your mettle at the interviews; sorry is your name oh!! a Sunderland degree holder will clinch the job if he does better than you.
I ended up choosing a Uni thats not in the Russell group and is yet ranked higher that 70% of the so called Russell group....

I don't regret it one bit now... With bi-monthly CFA classes and Bloomberg tutorials....i'm waiting to see how a Uni Manchester grad will outshine me... i'm just waiting to see really!!!
what sch did u choose
