I will inform her about all the advice I got here, she is actually studying for a PhD
justwise:


She needs to start arranging for support, her last project will be affected if she is doing masters. She also need the money to buy baby stuff, suitable accommodation for her and the baby

Thanks I will let her know

omopapa:
She shouldn’t declare the pregnancy to uni just yet, she shld carry on with her studies. When she’s heavy or nee delivery she can then apply for leave of absence or extenuating circumstance

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Risazii: 2:31pm On Oct 20, 2020
Lol ok
Aphrodite007:


Hahahahaha she still has the naija university mentality. Please tell her to unlearn everything she learned concerning tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Here, if her lecturers find out she’s pregnant, they will even be petting her.
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Risazii: 2:34pm On Oct 20, 2020
Thanks for your response, I will pass it on to her.
claremont:


This is the last thing any UK university will ever do and I cannot see it happening. If it ever happens, it can be viewed as discriminatory and the university in question can be sued to court with thousands of pounds of compensation at stake. I think most universities have support systems in place to give special priviledges to pregnant students.

However, undergoing a Masters degree and raising a child will be very difficult, but not impossible. The rigour involved in raising a baby alone is more than a masters degree project on its own. Good luck to her.

I know someone who used a scan copy of their BSc transcript issued in 2011 and was successfully assessed by NARIC.
Shed more light on your question, and you may be helped.

I’m commenting because I’m a uae resident myself, Unlike Dubai the UK is not experiencing economic boom. There is no demand for sales representatives in UK, habibi your income is fair and I bet a lot of people in the Uk don’t even have this much savings monthly, there’s nothing wrong in trying to better yourself but please understand that Immigration should not just be done to improve financial status but more importnatly, the goal should be to live in a country where there is social justice and equality.

You will not be able to get a company to sponsor you on tier 2 visa as a sales representative.

If your friends are encouraging you to come with visiting visa to work illegally then they are your enemy not friends.

You are not doing badly where you are don’t risk it.

1. You are mixing up things...
You want to emigrate from AED to £££ but you are making the comparison in NGN.
Ogbeni, please, don’t be like Muhammadu Buhari who compares pump price of petrol between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia in Naira.

2. There are jobs you can do in the UK that you will earn 5x that amount, conversely there are jobs you can do that you may end up with 15x less disposable income.

3. Question is: What job do you want to pick up in the UK? Sales rep? Bank CEO? IT firm Director? Health care assistant? Support worker? Tesco shelf stacker? SIA-badged security man? Cornwall farm fruit picker?

When you are clearer about the job type, then you will be better advised.

By the way:
Your friends who advised, did they tell you what jobs they are doing? Did they tell you the potential job you will do in the UK?

Your salary is tax-free in the UAE. I highly doubt if the same could be said for the UK.

Thank you. Already spent the last few weeks doing that, the challenge so the landlord not accepting our application or agency not even getting back.

The challenge is assumed to be with the fact that we are just coming in and they are not sure we can meet up with rent and all. Hence why O came here for some sort of referral

Despite the fact that at least one person died on an ig live video and 78 others have been reported dead, Sanwoolu still addressed us today and stated that people were injured but he didn’t acknowledge the death toll, they’ve honestly taken us for granted for too long. Tinubu is reportedly on the run atm. Heard his jet landed in France some hours ago.
