Hello Everyone!

Please, I’m trying to book British Airways return ticket so I can access PTA. Is it advisable I book from third-party like Wakanow? Or I should use their website directly? My issue with the website is that you can only pay in USD not Naira.

Help please.

Thank you so so much I am really happy I'm getting somewhere... I also had a 2.1 in my under graduate... but please can I ask more questions:
1. how was it like coping with your first ENGINEERING job while doing your msc,
2. was it like your were doing any part time job at that time before the ENGINEERING job,
3. is it possible to do an ENGINEERING job part time?
4. I'm in my early 30s hope that won'tbe an issue when applying for graduate jobs?


I'm not coming in this September but next year January


can I get the link to the materials of competency questions

I like the fact that you're asking the necessary questions.

Honestly, it is so appalling. I would never marry nor advise anyone to marry a Nigerian and bring her over to the UK or any gynocentric country.

You are absolutely right.

The U.K has made it somewhat easy for students to come study, but hard for them to stay back after studies. Vice versa is the case for Canada.

One has to start thinking about the end in mind especially after the expiration of the post study visa.

From my research, these are the options I've narrowed it down to.

1. Get a Tier 2 sponsored job, outside I.T and Healthcare, other people who seemed to have clinched it seems to be based on luck/favor/grace.

2. Marriage.

3. Moving to other countries: I feel this is the most viable option.

I'm welcome to other suggestions.

For now I will go with options 1 & 2 ... relocating get as e be... new environs and challenges wont make me reason 3 for now.... and you forgot to add options 4. Which is reschooling to get another degree... man I'm of age to marry n had it been naija favor me I for done marry since ... so guy I go do d masters n do d dating together... one reason I'm coming for a 2 years masters is to have ample of time to hustle for money to pay the tuition loan I go collect and have savings set aside, and ample of time to know who I'm dating better... den by God's grace marriage den a sponsored ENGINEERING job as bonus ... before or after marriage
My thoughts though ... I don't know if I'm wrong on this route make gurus align me well

you can "book on hold" then give them a call, and they will give you a naira equivalent to pay, or you pay their offices (if easily accesible and at cost) and you can also do the third party option if you know that no jupiter will make you change your travel plans to avoid being pushed back and forth.

Hmm, is it possible for someone to go for another course immediately after finishing one?
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Iruosonobrugwhe: 2:06pm On Aug 18, 2021
just fill in your planned isolation address in the passenger locator form and stay there so contact and trace can meet you if they need you.

Hi guys , I am about to renew my tier 2 visa but noticed that there was a place where I could include "unmarried partner " in my visa application .I am engaged in Naija and this was done after I had received my visa last year .Will adding this to my current renewal increase the credibility of my marriage by the time I get married to her and present documents to bring her over?
I have also been hearing these rumours about ikoyi registry being the one they accept though I wouldn't want to think that is true.
Should I just still say I m single in this current application and then when I get married later in the year start processing her documents

Ya they are the hottest but everyone can't be in IT/Health care ... many people don't have the background that can make them get admission in those 2 field ... someone who studied law/sociology/accounting/urban n regional planning
etc can't be advised to branch to IT/Health care

How do you advise people in these field even if there is a way out to even branch to IT/Health care ... what are the steps to be taken... as most of dem will be in a state of tabularaza in IT/Health care
