First tytm

@poster while nairaland is a place for information and advise, you should also understand that in Nairaland the good, urgly and bad prevails. So dont write to make ur self vunerable to scrollers. I believe u should have said some money instead of stating the specific amount! So now, that u've bn exposed u might wanna be wary of info plus anyone tryin to contact u!, good luck,

Basically as long as ur sch is picking u up, u re good to go, at the Nigeria exist point, it is simply
Tender - Stamp - Board

Let me first congratulate u on ur being granted a u.k visa.Their is always a first time in everything. You dont need to worry much,u only need a good travel agent dat will take care of ur flight ticket and ur boarding pass and who also will be wit u when u r checking in ur loads and when u finally depart.u need to have all d copies of ur admission letter handy.U may need to get a small bag or waist bag where u can keep dat wit ur passport and boarding pass.2,000 pounds is ok  to carry but nigeria immigration officers can be funny and might ask why a student like u is carry dat amount.u can tell them u need it to sort out some things in school cos u dont what to be a burden to anyone.since the the school is picking u up at heathrow u dont have much problem.just be calm and confident.safe journey.

@hamjola nd dingle,tnx so mch m vry much aware of naija peeps nd wrond advises so no wahala as per dat.a gud travel agent is d problem to help me out nd m kinda nervous

Don't declare how much you have got to anyone in Nigeria!!
They are greedy and might start saying crap since you are JJC!!

Nothing to worry about except don't fly Bellview
You are allowed to carry as much money as u like, You only declare above $5000 I think.
£2000 is not too much!!!

Congrats to you, Well I am a student like you and just arrived in the UK, There's no big deal regarding a flight.Like someone said, the only thing you need not do is fly bellview. Just take a cab or enter bus to MMA, (you don't need all those fake agent of NL  ) You will find B.A.,V.A. airlines on the second floor, they are both reliable, a bit expensive but they will give you a good deal, you know you need to get here in time, so get on it,

Keep your visa letter and school document in your hand bag,(Also, be prepared to answer question on your course of study lol) If you can,have an xray done or just don't worry, you will have one done at the port of entry which ever way. Regarding the money, you no need broadcast, I had MUCH more  than what you mention  when i arrived here and there was no problem,  Good luck and be safe!
