ApexTitan:
It's funny how everyone has forgotten all the UK bashing that went on in the early pages of this thread.

Comments like this that were explicit
The Uk is a complete waste of public space especially for african migrants if you ask me..

or the implied ones by many, even the OP (who is now claiming to perform a public service), that the UK somehow deceived them into studying there.

Many people also imagine that the only reason why one would go for a masters degree overseas is to relocate. That may be true to some extent but not completely. If it were the UK would not be the #2 top destination for international students.

I am happy people are getting to realise all about coming to the UK now.

Entitlement mentality here and there. Britain was built for the British and not for africans. Many used study visas as a route to migration and as a responsible country with the interest of it's people at heart they tightened the loopholes. Those lamenting and regretting most likely had immigrant intents otherwise I don't get why a prospective student will not read about the immigration rules before embarking on such mirage.

Exciton:
Why the fvck are Nigerians always fixated on migration?!! Always taking the easy way out. I always see Naija Twitter "intellectuals" advice youths to leave while they can. Foreigners see this too, and no one is ever going to respect you if you think mass migration is a solution.

Why not focus on a lasting solution: saving the soul of your country by calling for constitutional changes, building strong institutions etc?

I don't get how people can feel comfortable developing another country at the expense of yours. Sub Saharan Africans just don't get global politics. The leaders in Western countries know exactly what they're doing: selectively taking in the above average and positive outliers --- those with usefull skills, the smartest or the socioeconomically advantaged and their looted wealth --- for their own development. This is harmful to smaller nations since they are left with a bit more shitty people and less wealth on average. Also, the numbers are well controlled because they understand the effect of culture on institutions. There're many reasons why sh!tholes are what they are, but culture is a big part of it!

It's okay to study and live outside Africa, but at least consider making positive contributions to your country for the sake of your future generations and the dignity of your people.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if the "best of the best" were encouraged and employed in Nigeria and not punished for choosing education over music or sports, then no one would migrate.
The developed countries take the best in for their own development and the best get employed in these developed counties... It's a win win for everyone

Why would a capable person waste his talents in Nigeria, when he can go to the US or Europe and become an employed hard worker?

Saladin25:

Japan bawo! Firstly, the language is a barrier. Secondly, Japan hardly accept skilled workers because, most of her citizens have those skills. The only way way they can accept you as a migrant is, you must undergo an internship training. Lastly, Japan is developed but their economy is not growing for more than a decade.

Stop spreading your own nonchalant attitude on public domain . It's ignorance on your own part that brought you to this story that touch . Where you promised Job at the Embassy ? ??and what did you study ? U think this is Nigeria where you read masscom and work in a dental surgery with no xtra training .

okwyee:
I don't know if this counts. I've been freelancing for close to six months now I've worked with people from Australia and the UK. of all, the UK guys/company I've worked for are the best so far. Very honest and seem not to have a problem sending more clients my way despite the fact that I'm Nigerian and live in Nigeria.

I don't know how it feels when one's there sha. this is my observation from the few I've met.

ifenes:


He chose to spend that amount of money on the degree programs. The UK is not obligated to give him employment as they prefer British jobs for British workers. There is nothing wrong with being an economy migrant, only that you will not be prioritised.

BlackSan:


Most of y'all enjoy argument but failed to comprehend the reason for the thread.

Exactly. Buh I would love to advice anyone going to u.k. to embrace sciences, especially I.T courses and medical courses. With this two you can at least have something to do.

If go an study course like law, economics and political science, u might end u coming back to Nigeria. Don't go abroad studying art courses go for science. Do you know why? You can easily get employed anywhere in the world

BlackSan:



Ux/Ui is under IT, yeah?

Aphrodite007:


Where are all those people that said they UK doesn’t owe nobody anything? Watch and see, they will relax their laws when they noticed that they aren’t getting as much students trooping in, especially with the brexit. Very soon the post study will return and they might adopt the points based system like the post above declares.

I’m tired of all these arguments. If you don’t like the thread, no problem, the advice is not meant for everything, the ones that need the advice have learned and left.

tonero230:


If I do my masters in public health, can I get a good job there

BlackSan:



I think so. Though I can't say with all certainty because I don't know much about the course. But my only say is that you have a skill in IT sector that can easily compensate for your course if things don't go as planned.
