Further information
Often referred to as a ‘Post-Study Work visa’ in India, the new Graduate route will launch for the 2020/21 intake of students to university. After the two years, they will be able to switch onto the skilled work visa if they find a job which meets the skill requirement of the route. Further details will be announced in due course.

This rule has not commenced yet... stay vigilant

True talk! I think FAITH and RISK taking plays very vital role in the NIGERIAN CLIME. Seriously, it is very difficult getting established in Nigeria; it becomes more difficult if you have no mentor or contact point in industry, the state and federal ministries. We all know the IMM factor (i.e. the WHO you KNOW factor).

FAITH (being positive, hyper ambitious and hopeful) is what opens the way for those without helpers. I love this statement 'For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he'. Simply put, what you think, is who you are and will be. It may be difficult for Nigeria to change now o. Notwithstanding, we can work hard to change our believes, focus and of our future; our change will impact on our families and friends and such contagious change goes on and on.

Please, let us all remain positive and keep WORKING.

Hello House?

Anticipating your responses. Thank you.

True believers should fight for the Christian faith that is presently been ridiculed by unbelievers as a result of carelessness of many church leaders who have lost focus of the great commission.

Be informed that many pastors today has left the divine assignment of soul wining and helping the poor and needy. Instead, the enrich self which is unscriptural.

In the light of the above, believers should not that it very soon, God will separate the sheep from the goat I. E. False prophets, pastors, members and all living souls from the true. Remember Christ apostle words and advice on judgment beginning from the house of God. 1 pet. 4:17.

2 Tim 4:2 exhaust we rebuke those that are erring so, if you are a Christian guilty of defrauding God church via utilising people's fund for personal gain rather than for the propagation of the gospel, REPENT!!!

Finally, in 1 Tim 4:12, we are instructed to be an example of believers in word and conduct including giving and spending money and donations meant for Gods work. God will bring every work of men to judgement whether they be good or evil.

God's word and soul winning must not be hindered by activities of false and fallen disciples and Christians.

middlebelter:
The report is biased. The writer is painting the payment of tithe as if it were payment to Ashimolowo. Look, I am not a member of his Church, but we Christians should not continue to watch this people from other religions attack our Christian Faith. How is it their business if people pay tithes? Is it not Biblical? Is anybody forcing the writer and his pay masters to pay? As for Pastor Ashimolowo's luxury house, is the writer and his supporters aware of the number of books that this man has written and the volume of his investment? Even if he were using the Church's money will God fail to bring him to judgment?

It is not difficult to understand why UK is fast drifting into the hands of ISIS and Muslim Mayor's, but they expect to replicate the same obnoxious laws in Nigeria that will stiff the growth of Pentecostal movements?
My position is not a tacit support for misappropriation of tithe and offerings but I strongly believe that any body cheating by diverting tithes will have most severe punishment. I believe the God of the the Holy Bible, and the he won't fail to punish such people.

Thank you for your response. In as much as most pastors wrongly misinterprets biblical giving, we true Christians must shun satanic instigated attempt to frustrate the propagation of the gospel.

Of recent times, several topics in Nairaland has focused on fraudulent concept of giving. You see, scriptural giving is a commandment given by God and several examples exists such as Abraham to Melchizedek, children of Israel to building of God house, the widow of zeraphat to prophet Elijah, and also in the New Testament the early church members gave to the poor and to Gods work Act 4; the Bible says the shared all things in common.

For the few pastors that are still upholding and implementing true, selfless and scripture giving and fellowship amongst brethren, may God guide and strengthen them.

Remember, we are in the last days. Many pastors have left their first love, call and commitment and are pursuing earthly gains. Jesus stated that ...not everyone that says unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many are called, but few are chosen.

Hi all,

Visa was granted on the 18th Sept., Biometric - 7th Sept.

Thanks house for all assistance rendered to me. Justwise, I sincerely appreciate and thank you.


Please is there any University of Birmingham student in house? I will like to obtain information about travel and environs.

Ellizle:
Sorry I left the first part out. If you school is already sponsoring you on both fees and maintenance and this is shown on your cas, you do not need to show any bank statement at all as this will complicate your matter. Am also on a full scholarship and am aware of what is required by UKVI. Having a UK bank account is also not a prerequisite as you maintenance isn't paid till you arrive the uk as it is paid a month in arrears and if you arrive the UK before your enrolment date, you can always access your student status letter and open an account (as some school have that ready once you've completed online registration like my school) prior to enrolment. If not you still have plenty of time to get a student letter for your bank after enrolment and get an account opened. Goodluck once again.

I thank you for the detailed explanation.

Regards

justwise:
Then you got nothing to worry about, all you need is that letter + those documents listed in your CAS

Thanks for your kind response.

justwise:
1.Do you have letter of scholarship from your school?

2. What is the total amount written on that letter?

Thank you for your response. Yes please, I have the University Fellowships award letters.
Total amount captured is ~£35,000/yr which covers tuition fee + maintenance.

Hi Justwise and colleagues,

I appreciate you all for information shared in this Forum. Please, I intend attending visa interview next week against 18th September travel date to UoBirmingham. My tuition was waved by University (has been captured in CAS since I am on a full scholarship (tuition + maintenance) however, maintenance fee was not captured. I can not access maintenance fund now since I do not have a UK bank account No (a prerequisite).

1. Please how can I go about this?
2. Do I need to show my Nigeria account statement to justify travel and accommodation? If yes, how much?
3. Would you advice I use the standard application route?
4. How safe is application payment with Diamond Dollar card?

Cheers.

Changing your career can be a very stressful and confusing period of one's life. Imagine getting a fully funded PhD scholarship to the UK or US with complete welfare packages amidst a very good well paying job in our beautiful country Nigeria; the challenge one might face in such a time includes fear of quitting existing jobs, leaving loved ones including children and kids, adapting to an entirely different culture and people, etc.

The guiding principle during such period is what I call 'EVAC'. First, you need to EVALUATE what your life needs and aspirations are. If you are on a bank Job as an Engineer, and such an offer comes your way, then you should ask yourself whether that job is God's perfect place for you in life? if an offer comes at a time where present job keeps you away from your family, your faith, your relationship, then, you may need have a rethink as God may be speaking. Once you have defined your vision, then, you need scrutinize the authenticity of the offer/ the claims. This will provide you with ample information on merit and demerit of such offer. Secondly, VERIFY your readiness to opt for such career path. If it is an advanced degree, then you need seek guidance from mentors who have threaded the same path. Verify all requirements for proposed course of study and most important in your verification process is to ...seek God's face, remember He said, call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which thou knoweth not... God sees the end from the beginning so Trust in Him.

Also, ADOPT and ADAPT a positive mindset. Our generation is posed with people who are scared of taking healthy risk. Most people are only waiting for directions from others and not from their inner man, not from God. They are scared of the future which mostly becomes evident from their pessimism and negative connotations. Be bold, stand upright, say and speak positive and no matter how lean your might be resources (lean resources to process your offer), just have FAITH in God.

Finally, be COURAGEOUS. Have FAITH in God and then man (including yourself). In pursuing your future, you need to be attentive to life's rules. Work, be diligent, listen, mimic the positive, have good mentors, pray without season. One thing that has kept me going in life is the ability to Watch and Pray (W-P). Some call it - Wake and Prosperity, Worn/ Wear/ Wither and Prevail... God provided man with a mystery to correct our inherent tendencies of foolishness, and this mystery is the Ant. God instruction to MAN... go to the Ant thou Sluggard consider her ways and be wise.... Many Millionaires and Billionaires have wasted their life due to sluggishness and foolishness. In fact, listen, You can not sincerely study, genuinely burn the mid-night candle and wear out in pain and penury..just look at the ant. The fear of not getting a job is from the devil because God cannot provide a ladder of greatness without installing unlimited opportunities for the few ones with guts and courage who attain height to access. Remember, you are one of the very few, you are not like others. Rejoice!

Friend, grab your God given opportunity, remember, the gateway I initially told you, it is time to EVAC. Don't listen to weaklings, negativeness, failures, soar extremely high and conquer your world.

Good luck.

Full funding, generally, pays your tuition, and then pay you some cash every month. You can do what you want with the money (rent, food). No, they won't pay for your relocation or travel. Expect your first salary at the end of the second month of arrival.

Thanks for sharing.
