Please how do you guys send things to Nigeria, last time I did, it costed a lot because it was by air. I need a cheaper and affordable option Please. Someone was saying I could it by sea, but it takes like a month to get to its final destination.

My fear is won't it get missen or won't they tear the bag open because those Apapa guys and clearing agents are something else. Please help.

The thing is the project management msc is in the construction industry.. so its kind of related.. I've had other mechanical engineering experiences as well as outside engineering work experiences... and I think teeside is one of the cheapest when it comes to some engineering courses .. most engineering courses ive checked in other schools re expensive or not related to what I hve skills in... PM is very well related.

I will worry about the fees oo to be honest.. I'm gonna be sponsored by a Relative but the funds will be in my account...

Nigerians don't deserve better than Buhari, we are who we are.

We are good at writing pages after pages of complain but lack the backborn to take action.

We will still vote in another useless president after Buhari

That has it’s downside too which affects a lot of Internatioal students.. when you graduated from one of those cheap universities getting a graduate job can be a long walk compared to others with certificate from much better ranked universities.

justwise:


Marriage for paper should not be your focus as that is risky and expensive too but if you genuinely fall in love with someone without sham arrangement then that is better.

justwise:

Definitely almost all foreign students plan to stay back and get a job and it’s possible if you graduated with a good result possibly from a good university.

justwise:
Check if project management is in occupational job shortlist because studying the right course helps that process of staying back after graduation

Vooom:
This exactly!!

2023 they would forget the suffer of 8years and fight for one worse human the continue to cry for another 8 years

Nigerians deserve her leaders

jtech17:

Ok

..
definitely I would want it to be genuine because of love.. I'm not in a relationship with anyone currently, and I plan on settling down, so I feel the only issue here will getting a citizen with genuine intentions like myself.

Well,i will only know that after my degree,but l have technical skills in pool construction and maintenance, as well as plumbing, I think pending when d kpali go begin pay off make I hustle with those skills, as well as any other small jobs that come to put body n soul together, I know certification in those field will also be a prerequisite. I feel teeside is a good university sha. Good no go shame us.

Okay will do dat research...

thanks

Those are good set of skills that will help you greatly when you finally settled here but the process of getting settled is where the battle is.

If you managed to graduated without repeating any module and get your PSW then those skills will be handy.

Can one mitigate the effects of cheap universities via self development, certifications and or experience?

justwise:


Definitely.

Nigerians in general don't hate crime, they just hate who is committing it and depending on who that person is.

I watched Buhari speak last week and i was wondering how on earth did we get this man elected/selected x2?

Same here, i was cringing with embarassment.

Hiya, I just did Biometric Capture on Tuesday 8/06/2021. I applied and made payment October 2020. Passport to be posted to me via Royal Mail, so fingers crossed. My experience at the High Commission was surprising; well organized and no delays, was in and out in 1 hour. There is also the Fast Track provision now, just cost £100 more. All the details of requirements and process are here:http://www.nigeriahc.org.uk/. Cheers

The embassy goes to them...........


On a more serious note, if they ever need the embassy, ever heard of VIP entrance......... You never see them, they get offered biscuits, coffee, a chat and handshake......

Good news, No more requirement for resident labour market test.

Good evening everyone,please I need someone who I can pay naira into their Nigerian account and they give ££ to someone in UK

fatima04:


With your skill,I would advise you switch to Civil Engineering Msc as that is broad and on the shortage occupation list last I checked. Teeside is good but I will advise location where there are huge construction works going on. For example the hs2 project, with phase 1 running from London to Birmingham makes those areas hot.
