If you're still considering studying abroad and UK is your destination, think twice especially when you are thinking about working after studies. The UK government don't want you here and they're not hiding that fact, they're so arrogant that they're not even pretending. The good news for you is that you still have the choice of other destinations. For those already in the UK here's another bad news. It's a fresh anti-international student policy essentially limiting you from getting a job and visa after graduation.
Recently,

the government commissioned the MAC to review Tier 2 of the points-based system to address concerns about the rising number of migrants in that route and reliance on them to fill shortages.
The commission asked the MAC to look at:
Options to re-focus the route to genuine skills shortages and highly specialist experts
How to limit the time that sectors can remain on a shortage list
The implementation of a levy on Tier 2 visas, to fund apprenticeships
Tightening up on the intra-company transfer route, including applying the immigration health surcharge to intra-company transfers
Restrictions on the automatic right of Tier 2 dependants to work
Raising the minimum salary levels that migrants have to be paid

[1]
Committee report submitted for implementation:

The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) Report on Tier 2 however now recommends that not only minimum salary levels should be increased (to £23,000 for new entrants/graduates and £30,000 for others) but that those switching from Tier 4 should, in the future, be subject to both the RLMT and the Tier 2 cap.

The tests are easy if you know the shortcuts.

Example... A man bought a bag for £20 pounds the bag lost 15% percent market value. How much is the bag?

Normally you were taught to calculate 15% of 20 and then substract from 20.

However you can simply calculate 85% of 20 and that will be your final answer!

The reality is that UK citizens are struggling to secure jobs and I don't blame them for asking the government to tighten immigration laws

MY EXPERIENCE AT BRITISH COUNCIL ABUJA TODAY
I tried to make payment for IELTS online last week, but Zenith bank refused me, so, I decided to get a bank draft of 52k. At exactly 08:20 today, I was already in the British Council Abuja Office. The lady in charge told me many things and I want to share with you guys. She said the only IELTS result recognised by UK now is IELTS for UKVI. This took effect from April last year, that I would be denied UK Visa if I present the normal IELTS result (except for degree programs). There is no major difference between the two IELTS results, it is only in the nature of the result sheet and the fee. The normal IELTS is 52k while the IELTS for UKVI is 64k. Anybody with a sound knowledge of UK Visa and Immigration laws should enlighten us more please. Read here http://www.ielts.org/test_takers_information/ielts_in_the_uk.aspx

There IS a major difference, one is academic while the other is general. The academic version is used for degree application, while the general is used for immigration purposes. In the absence of the general version, the academic can also be used for immigration purposes depending on the country being applied to.

Pls I need answers,someone talk to me pls

Having flown both airlines, I am in a good position to answer this.

Etihad airfares are slightly cheaper for the same routes, but not as comfortable, with Emirates airlines boasting a more widely-varied selection of food, and in-flight entertainment than Etihad airways.

Hedonistically, the hostesses on Emirates flights are arguably more attractive, if you're into that sort of thing. (Not that you stand a chance, anyway).

Ultimately, they are both very highly-rated airlines, with one (Emirates) just being slightly better than the other (Etihad).

I think your question is lacking in that you forgot to mention your routes, in which case we would have to consider potential stopover locations and times.

You're welcome.

You may want to consider stopover times for both airlines.

Just go to moneygram's website, click on the "estimate fees" tab, nd fill d details, it will give u the rate. get someone to help u go to bank in nigeria and send the amount u need. person needs to go with a govt issued ID, just like western union bt it gives more flexibility in terms of the max limit, i tink the max limit is around 513pounds per quarter, bt d good tin is, if d first person dat helps u send has reached his limit for the quarter, u can send someone else so long as they have govt issued ID. the only hurdle is that most naija banks r avoiding it, bt if d person has a good rapport wt the bank officials or is their good customer they'll do it. the last one i did was on monday at the rate of 370naira to a pound. adding transfer fees nd tax brings it to around 390naira to a pound
