yes, you can.....
just do it the legit way. if you want to remain in britain, love a british woman with all your heart & take her to court for your wedding.

you would get a spousal visa about 4 weeks later & you now have to wait 5 years(it used to be 2 years - no thanks to some fools that defrauded the system in thousands of sham marriages) before that visa qualifies you for ILR(indefinite leave to remain) - a green card equivalent in the US.

just so you know, your spousal visa can let you work, travel out of the UK & back as you please as long as you don't spend more than 90 days consecutively out of the UK. just do your thing the legit way & you should be fine.

There's no much difference between both uni, they are kinda in same category. Well I think Coventry better, I want to assume u got some sort of accommodation in London, if not stay away from london due to high living cost go to Coventry main campus for your program.

Haba a spousal visa in 4weeks ke!!
When he wants to arrive in the UK on a visiting visa or student visa - there is no way he'll get that in 4weeks

Dem still dey deport ppl who try am or they wait months upto a year cos home office is suspicious of their motives

it took my relative one year to get hers and she married her hubby with full on ceremony in nigeria then she came here for post grad studies. In fact her student visa don expire by the time they returned her passport. She couldnot work parttime cos her passport was with them(hubby had to submit his as well).Even her university sef no gree give her internship cos her passport was not available - na fight she fight oh cos internship was part of her course.
Obviously kayus only wants to hear the good abi not the bad and the ugly. Don't allow other people's experience of 10 years ago make you think its the same now - UK immigration has changed, season has changed. Go canada or australia jeje better opportunities post study and cheaper living expenses.

wait a minute - is kayus a student in the UK or a visitor? if he's a visitor - he should stay where he is & invite his girlfriend to nigeria for the wedding.

if he comes here hoping to marry with a visitor's visa, then a medium term prison sentence awaits him. i gave the advice on the premise that he's a legitimate student in the UK.

Okay so i went to the club on Friday with some other Africans...and i got to appreciate the reason why white girls love black men. In the VIP section there are three tables; 2 of which were occupied by blacks; (in fact 80% Naija boys....) and the tables had swag!!!
It was the normal club setting....hip hop and all....until Oliver Twist ripped through the speakers...
Omo see Naija boys and gyration...It was impressive!!!. Before the track finished; 3 of my boys done dey rock Oyibo chicks....one was even kissing on the dance floor...and after that we no see the boy again....
Na for morning wey boyz come dey control each other to make sure say everybody dey okay...
The Zimbabwean chick wey i "take away" come dey chat me; "OMG... last night was awesome we must do it again sometime soon"
I just dey respond with "LOL"
See mumu.... make i spend my money again "soon" abi? undecided undecided

coventry is better because based on my personal observation am not sure, coventry will 1st to 4th in terms of number of nigerian student, so you will not be home sick, because even if you have other races as friends (white, china or indians) is less likely for you to have more then 2 things in common, for example you can have a white friend that the only thing you have in common is going to church or drinking , or going to club, so it will really helpful to have nigerians around, as less if you love nigerian politic we have people you ague with about it, or people you watch premier league match with. because most uni don't have a viewing centre, and the only bar close by may be hull city fan bar, so i don't think any nigerian will walk for like 20 mins and buy bar for like 1 pounds or 2 just to watch hull vs sweansea

danny4sure: Pls guys, how can one make payment of tuition fee from a gtb savings account? If any1 knows other means to transfer tuition fee to a UK university account pls help. Any university of salford or coventry university students for january 2014 intake?
hello iam for salford but march intake, Wadup, have u made up your mind on choice of school
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by bebe2(f): 11:27pm On Dec 02, 2013
It baffles me dat pple still use GTB to pay their school fees.

There are lots of companies here in the UK dat will pay it for u for far cheaper rates. Companies dat have been established for years. Ur £12,000 is unlikely to Make dem risk prosecution and losing their reputation.
