jammyng: And Australia is taking advantage

Chedarking: I honestly cant understand why any foreign student will want to study in the UK anyway.
You cant work afterwards here.
Your degree is less impressive cos employers back home know you must come back...
You just come here and waste your money in the name of 'foreign' education.

And untop of all that, the UKBA can decide to deport you without letting you finish your degree...for NO crime of yours!

Brethren please stay back in Nigeria or go to the US/Australia/Anywhere we can influence the price of Garr1 in the market!

chreld_b: Before they commence deportation of students I hope they intend on refunding every penny of their exorbitant tuition fees and every other incurred expense during their study.

obadiah777: had to leave the country in the middle of it because of family problems not because of the education. the education was the best. first off if you have to prove yourself by writing essays on every exam, you will be a lot smarter with more critical thinking skills. all the universities i attended in america and britain ? the lecturers are too lazy to be bothered to score essays so everything is in multiple choice questions. i found myself missing those essay writing tests and exams so i can prove myself and show my knowledge. all in all ? i had my best education in nigeria. dunno what the state of the education is there now but when i was there ? i absolutely loved it and those are the best years of my life up till now. i pine for those years again. wish i can bring back those years. plus the friendship you make in nigerian universities is brotherly and sisterly. out here you cant really fraternize too well because of racial differences. chances are you are being tolerated alot and as such you will never make close friendships. plus there are hardly campus accomodations. you have to rent out of campus and as such you dont get a cohesive community feel to the whole thing. all in all, its all hype and no substance.

obadiah777: i was actually born in england as are all my siblings. you cant deport a man from where he was born.

Joeblis: All this guys castigating nigerian universitys should be really ashamed of themselves...they'll go an extra mile just to say bad tinz about em...pls this topic is not about comparing,so stick to the topic plz.

frosbel:

What are you on about.

See below the criteria for the measurements.

Specialising in Electronics does not place you at the top of the list you know


Criteria for world rankings :

1.Teaching
2.International outlook
3.Industry income
4.Research
5.Citations

obadiah777: Same reason those same people would respect and employ a white man over a black man even in a black country. INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

Look at these two post ^^ Were you born in England and sent back to Nigeria to get educated in those days?



How does a picture of a passport proves that you are born in England? You don't need to be born in the UK to get the passport, you can get it through marriage, holding work permit, living there for 10, 14 yrs.

Segzy23:

How does showing me a picture of a passport prove to me that it is genuine or that it is actually yours?

obadiah777: I guess you have to take my word for it. i dont know you and you dont know me so i am not trying to impress you. the point in showing my passport is to debunk your ' i got deported crap'. yes i was sent back to nigeria by my parents to get some african manners and african discipline through african boarding school. FGCL to be exact. and then a lil time in uni.

justwise: [/b]

....and that action failed judging by your rants here, you must have been a complete plonker for them to send you home in thosedays to get some manners.

Long One: As usual, the UKBA have gone guns blazing on foreign students in a bid to curb immigration, without properly thinking about the consequences of their action.

What they should have done is to prevent new students coming in, and given the university a period to let current students pass through. This way, they would not have panicked students who are uncertain of the future, apart from the stress of living in a foreign land.

With the unnecessary chaos they have created, I honestly wonder what happened to the brains England had in those good old days. Now, it seems to be a bunch of disgruntled legislators, nit picking on foreign students and foreigners in general.

frosbel:

You do not know what you are talking about.

The UK has some of the best universities in the world other than Cambridge and Oxford.

1. University of Manchester - World Rank 48
2. University of Liverpool - World Rank 181
3. University of Leeds - World Rank 133
4. University of Birmingham - World Rank 148
6. London School of Economics - World Rank 47
7. University of Sussex - 99
8. University of Bristol - 66


The list goes on and on.

Now let us start with our best university of Ibadan which is ranked 2475 not even near to some of the worst in the UK.

I am just trying to correct your wrong impression that only Oxbridge schools are of a high standard.

We have a long way to go.

What parameters do they use for the ranking?

Total Nonsense!

I 'studied' in the west as well as nigeria. Nigeria Top Universities are NOT as bad as people potrayed them.

justwise:

The university knew about this since March, they saw this coming and kept quiet, now the student is suffering it. I don't like this timing but the uni should have put their house in order.

If i were the students i will sue the uni for this.

Long One:

Well, fair enough, but it still does not justify their decision.

UKBA could have suspended the university licence without banning them from teaching current students – you don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. If these students abscond or resort to crime, they will have a bigger issue on their hands.

wowo2: Honestly, I find it difficult to believe that students without stay are in a UK school.

Are they obtaining degrees in another person's name - using ori-olori - or their visas have expired?

It is difficult to believe the former; and in case of the latter, i would think the school would have been communicating them and threatening withdrawal of access to the school facilities etc.

I don't understand and will appreciate if someone in the house can explain...

justwise:

Blame the uni, they knew the punishment for breaking the rule ages ago, its nothing knew.

Long One:

Nah, I blame UKBA 60%, as they are fond of making hasty decisions. Last problem I had involved one of such decisions, which was used against them in court. The most annoying part is they didn’t even send a Lawyer/Solicitor, and I spent enough £’s on mine.

Anyway, we'll see how things pan out.

Vergil: So what happens to the certificates of those students who weren't legit when they studied there? They can't render their certificate useless. Can they?

justwise:

If they were not found out at that time then their certificate remains Og.

Vergil:

Yh meant if they had already finished their courses in the school. So it remains ok u meant to say?


Wonder what they'd have to do to get their license back.
