Joe Nketo: Pls nairalist direct me on how to get international passport I hope to study in Cyprus
You don't know where to get passport but you want to go to cyprus to do what? If you don't know where to get an international passport, then you are not qualified to travel. Better get more info about traveling and the challenges surrounding it before making it to cyprus

bayooooooo: There is nothing in UK again. Apply to US and Canadian Universities.

You will say the same thing when you get to Canada or US, they don't pick money on street of those countries.

Agege bread or obe eran is allowed into the uk. Be careful though with the immigration officials as they may still them and eat them, then they will tell you that they just confiscate them.

UNLEASHED:

If not for the recent measures imposed on international student visa, I see nothing wrong with studying in the UK if you're mentally and financially up for it. There are loads of US citizen who came here to study and of which I know about 7 of them so what's your point Mr.?

Financially..its so ripping off compared to other universities.
The work permit is even a mirage...UK is not what its used to be......

Baba Ibada: Nice one justwise. You can bring fish of up 20kg if you are fish type but don't try meat. I had all my meat seized in May but the immigration officer told me nothing 's wrong with fish. Bring a maximum of 10 packs of 20 cigarettes (200 sticks), as for lighter, you should be ready to bribe Nigerian immigration to be allowed to bring it on board coz they took mine from me when I was coming here in May but never mind you will always get ur ciga lit up at any appropriate time and places.
More importantly brace up for rigorous studies where plagiarism is a sacrilege, copying and pasting will land you in trouble and proper time management will be a big plus. Save for few lucky ones surviving on part-time job is a myth here as you may not get one any quickly if not at all. Before you resign from where you're working now in Nigeria create a good impression such that if there would be any need to go back there you wouldn't have any problem coz after your studies you may just find out that going back home would be the best option. Did I just say I am packing my stuffs? Good luck fellas.

What are u gonna be doing after studies?.....No work in England, and d available ones are reserved for her citizens.
SMH for pple clamoring for that place.....though they are indisputably good academically, but now being overrated!

Re: Important Advice To Students Coming To The UK by Dharkchild: 8:27pm On Aug 01, 2012
I trend to see things from a lil diff perspective tho. The primary focus of studying abroad (USA, UK, Canada) is the quality standard of education "knowledge". If the quality of education in Nigeria was good then most of us would not even go out in the first case.

If we all unanimously agree that the quality of eduction in the UK is of high standard as that seems to be like their only export commodity, then I see no reason why one shouldn't study there of u can afford it.

Success is not location dependent but the application of an acquired knowledge.

We are going to learn and not running away. If an opportunity presents itself after studies, take it hence create it or come home and apply that you have learnt.

Seems you only read my earlier post but you didn't interpret it before you clicked the reply button. I'm not asking prospective students to come and invest in UK universities. I said IF you are financially and mentally up for it. Different strokes for different folks, while some people think it's rip off, some doesn't really care and willing to pay whatever to acquire good education, so you have no point for saying studying in the UK is a rip off.
And I mean "mentally" in the sense of intellectual standards, plus the quoted text in bold shows the level of your ignorance Mr. #No hard feelings wink
