Sometimes I wonder how the recruitment is done into what is supposed to be Nigerias most priced intelligence agency.

Are you telling me no one has died in Ukraine since the war begin? how come we do not have a number

Trump never fought a single war while being president. Correct me if am wrong.

In as much as I do not like Trump, this is the absolute truth!

Even so called Obama fought a war

Chelsea Bayern 2012 champions league… that moment Drogba brought down Ruben I was like no now ..could not even watch the penalties

This is evidence that persistency, hard work, always being on your toes pays. When starting out he probably looked stupid but look at him now. Keep going you would get there one day

Hi guys what do you think is the best account to open for int students in the uk? I’m in between Barclays and royal bank of Scotland

RenaissanceGuy:
You're funny. Where did you get this phantom information from? No professor earns less than N500K. Even medical doctors earn an average of N180K to N250K.

Even with this, with the current situation after investing all your life to become a professor/medical doctor this is still small with the cost of living in this country…. A professor most likely already has a family o

What of the cost of going to all the school to become a professor?


A simple Mac book costs about 1 million naira… you might say you don’t need this, okay what of access to health when sick ? A family member got a car about 4 years ago 2.2 mill naira that Same car that should have depreciated in value is now selling for 5 mill…. Car is a 2009 model almost 15 years old car o

Hi..please how do you get ur scholarship..I'm interested

It’s a federal govt scholarship (PtDF) for courses related to oil and gas sector there is a thread on the scheme on nairaland,,, seems transparent

Mosba:



Obviously, you've graduated from that school of thought for contemplating the economic realities of the country.
Anyway, this is the ultimate advice, if a japa chance opened and you are not one of our politicians whose budget for feeding alone is amount to tens of millions or billion of naira like our ALAJEKU leaders, take it or your future children will hate you for making a dumb decision to wait on government of lies and deceits.

This might sound harsh but this is true. We need to look at the statistics of everything majority of those who enjoy this country(average to wealthy life o)are the political class, the number of “ordinary/poor man” that enjoys this country are few, the question is are you going to be part of them ?

I have a friend who graduated with first class and risked everything and started a cold room somewhere in Rivers.. spoke to him last week his transformer spoilt going to 2 weeks now. He has been down, these are some of the things one can face doing a business here…And believe me I’m a very strong advocate of invest in Nigeria but recently with experience my stance is changing gradually

There are opportunities in this country, you are even a federal worker so job security is guaranteed. But you need to also consider future Prospects, how fast can you get to the top of your field? What will you be earning in the next 5 years at your current job to support your family? Godforbid you or anyone close to you develops an expensive sickness. These are factors you might have missed which you have to include while making a final decision


Finally I’m in a similar situation as I have a fully funded scholarship to the uk with stipends, my current job pays me something similar to yours. and these are some of the things I considered

Everything is a risk but which one will you do and per adventure it doesn’t work out, you can leave with?

In a similar situation ship have a fully funded scholarship with living costs (MSc computer science ) vs have a job that pays about 200k tech remotely

I’m about to accept the scholarship and leave the job

This is one of the reasons to consider “japa” most of this diseases has no specific cause and dem no da look face…treatment can be very expensive even for the average politician in Nigeria…
But abroad you stand a very big chance with the best medical facilities available.. I know you might say not my portion but these things do happen. In Nigeria we are too poor to even see this as a possibility

We are already naked. Live life and do not forget one day we are all going back. The situation we are in is that we don’t even know which day it is

Was in a similar situation as you, though younger. Currently a software engineer my pay isn’t bad. Have a fully funded scholarship for computer science abroad my undergraduate is biochem also…

. My advice is what do you have passion for? For me from child hood I always loved computers and never paid attention to it, as soon as I graduated I put in for medicine direct entry didn’t work out( I was extremely desperate),,on the contrary almost every software engineering job I applied for I was called for an interview and they were always impressed and this is because of the tremendous amount of knowledge and time I put in. even without a background in computer science


All in all ask what you have passion. The it sector is very challenging to get into but it’s a field that if you have passion for can take you places in a very short amount of time compared to medicine


Ps: I have a very good friend studying medicine and he is in his 400 already, he is 38… undergrad biochem

Ask yourself honestly what do you love doing the most

I hope this helps

And the govt wants to slow down Japa… God forbid one mistakenly have serious health issues in this country. Even if your salary is one million naira per month, it won’t be easy

You want ceasefire for people that want to kill you, for me If I were Biden I would have been calling for the proscription of Islam till they modify their teachings and prove they can be civil with their religion....

Nigerians smh.. what has religion got to do with the topic? proscription of Islam where exactly, you just want to talk, unfortunately you are a nobody and your opinion does not matter

Please I need advice, I have the option of school accommodation or outside. Average cost of outside is 500 per month (without bills) whilst school is 750 pm(all bills included)

If I stay outside, after arriving I need to be in a hotel till I sort out accommodation and from what I hear getting accommodation can be quite difficult, country: Scotland

Goke7:


People were forced to go the care route because the uk refused to open up other sectors in terms of immigration policy, from the stats just 66,000 skilled workers visa outside the healthcare sector was given in the last 1 year for an economy that’s the 5th largest in the world. Honestly all the noise about net migration is just too unnecessary. All I see is deceit and unnecessary irritation.

I want to confirm o this skilled worker law does it so includes someone with sponsorship?

Owoado:
The 200k is which currency? Scholarship in what school or country at least?

200k ngn… university in Scotland MSc data science, scholarship pays like 700pounds every month

Omo…. Guys, would you advise someone to leave his current job of about 200k vs a fully funded scholarship with living costs covered given the recent changes ?

Na to hustle for jobs work sponsorship now

Hi guys what do you think I have about 3 years gap, I’m going on a fully sponsored scholarship with stipends. Is the gap much?

CaseSensitive:
I remember warning people a while ago to use logic before deciding to come to the UK, rather than the typical Naija's attitude of "We will cross the bridge when we get to it" No one is saying you shouldn't come to the UK but make sure you've paid your school fees in full before stepping foot on the plane and have some money left to sustain you for at least 9 months.

You CANNOT pay part of your school fees and believe you will be able to hustle for the balance on a 20 hours/ week job, especially if you're a solo student with no dependent but it seems people just want to get the UK visa by all means.

I've seen fully grown men and women beg for food, money and accommodation because they either can't balance their school fees or they arrived and realised there's no health care job waiting for them. UK is a hostile place to be if you're an immigrant and broke.

Hey man what would u advise someone with a fully funded scholarship (comp science) vs a remote job in Nigeria that pays 200k hybrid(based on Lagos) to report once a month… currently based in a cheap state ?

Guys I need ur advise: for someone who has a fully funded scholarship to the uk (MSc computer science)and a 200k hybrid job in lagos(to report only once a month) , resident in Ibadan ?

Scholarship comes work stipends

Kenn55:


You are right but that's gambling. So it becomes a 50/50 thing. Some are lucky to get job immediately the arrive and their permutations work for them while some won't be that lucky. I don't like taking stupid risks. If I did not have money to last me for 1 year when i migrated, i wouldn't have left Nigeria

I keep saying it, if you want to migrate whether through school, PR etc ensure you have enough money to last you at least 8 months to 1 year. If you don't, you will be under pressure from the day you land and you become desperate. Unfortunately things don't work out well for people who are desperate as they are prone to making mistakes upon mistakes.

I hope and pray it works out for you. Amen

What would you advise someone who has a fully funded scholarship and has a 200k job?
