whats the difference with this and pgd
PGD is just another Diploma, You need a Bachelor's Degree.

Especially if you ever hope to study abroad or become an academician.

You may have some point but it is misleading to refer to Obasanjo and Kwakwanso as examples of people with HND. Those guys had their HND when Nigeria was still good and jobs were available in abundance. Even School certificate and Modern 3 holders were working in banks and other the civil service with good pay and prospects for promotion. Things have changed now.
HND holders can still be very successful in their career, but the opportunities nowadays are different from what they used to be in the 70s and 80s.
Whether HND or BSc, one needs to work very hard, and pray for God's mercy and favour.
Your second to the last paragraph is the bone of contention here, HND graduates have very limited career options like their BSc counterparts.

HND graduates can't become Lecturers, Doctors, Radiographers, Pharmacists, Certified Engineers, etc so I wonder which career you're referring to,

Our youth must avoid Polytechnics at all cost angry angry angry

Language schools > Senmmon gakko (choose an IT course) > get a job in the IT industry. Language school and Senmmon gakko should take 4 years minimum. Senmmon gakko are specialised colleges/schools for a particular industry/field.

You could still opt for a university-styled education, but I don't know if your age would be accepted for a bachelor's program. By then, you should be 32/33. Most importantly, senmmon gakko is for two years. BSc is for four years. Funding the latter is usually tougher for most foreigners without a generous scholarship. It is not easy or literally impossible to fund undergraduate studies with part-time jobs compared to graduate studies.

From my experience so far, decent/good jobs aren't the issue for foreigners, especially in the science and engineering sectors. The issue is not scholarship provided you qualify for one. The problem is not whether there are schools or not that offer your desired course. Universities have been merging because there is a decline in enrolment numbers. Some are projected to close because fewer students are applying. So, they are becoming more open/receptive to foreign students to shore up the numbers. The issue isn't a lack of part-time jobs (you cannot rely on this to fund an undergraduate program). The koko is the language. Once you know the language, Japan becomes very easy and filled with opportunities.

I don't know if there is a Japanese language school in Nigeria like we've with Korean and Chinese. There is a functioning Japanese language school in Cameroon and this has enabled many Cameroonians to come here because at N3 level, it becomes easier for language schools to admit Africans, especially older ones.

My advice: find a way to get into a language program around so that you are able to get up to N3 level. This one I am reading new students must present a certificate to prove 150 hours of language proficiency before being admitted to study for N5 level is new to me.
Yeah it's a new law, I have searched a couple of Language schools in Japan and it's stated on their sites that you must present a minimum of JPLT N5 or show evidence of at least 150 hours of Japanese Language studies before you obtain their COE 🤨🤨
TravelRe: Japanese Visa And Travelling To Japan by babakb: 11:37am On Aug 26, 2025
Gerrard59:
Then it should be a new policy as the government earlier this year revamped the requirements for operating language schools. So, that could be the reason.
Yeah, it's a new policy, your either posses a minimum of JPLT N5 certificate or show convincing evidence that you have undergone at least 150 hours of Japanese Language Lessons outside Japan.

Yes, use your NIN.

It is a surprise there are now centres outside the embassy to apply for a visa. During my time when I applied for the visa twice (both were granted), I never saw such. Everything was conducted at the embassy.

Since it is the weekend, send a reply to the same address with the direct link to the embassy and where the embassy made that announcement. This is to further prove that such an approved centre exists.

Best of wishes! Once the COE is granted, a visa is certain.
Please at what point does prospective applicants show POF?

--> If your Tuition fee per Year is 10,000 PLN and you're going for BSc. Ensure you have 10,000 PLN x 4 years = 40,000PLN cooling in your Sponsors Account.
--> Include your 1 year Accomodation; Assuming your accomodation in a month is 800PLN. Then 800PLN x 12 months = 9600 PLN
--> Include your feeding allowance too; assuming 300 PLN Monthly depending on you & your stomach infrastructural language. 300 x 12 =3600PLN

Total = 53,200 PLN

If your sponsor is still actively working and earns a salary; He/she can have 80% of the estimate and add his/her with supporting work documents.
Many thanks, I'll go through the Polish website as advised.
