Which side you dey bro? I'm in Lincolnshire

You can't beat spending that money, you will have to spend it either on accommodation or on travel.

I live in the east Midlands and commute into central London everyday.

My train journey in to KGX from Newark takes around 90 minutes, and a monthly pass is £1044 with another 179 spent on parking.

We own a generously sized 4 bed, and our monthly outgoings (mortgage, utility bills) just shade a grand.

So roughly 2k per month. I would have paid that on acvomadtion in London anyway for a smaller house than we live in now. The only difference is that the quality of life is better when I actually get to experience it lol

I understand the feeling mate

High emergency response aren't very expeditious in real life, as opposed to movies, esp when you take into consideration that India was a 3rd World country. Like you would expect from any developing country, the bureaucracy and the red tapes can be frustratingly slow.

Furthermore, it's important to note that India's elite NSG commandos during that time weren't well funded, and had had to be mobilized from scratch. When you line up this infelicitous delays side by side, it's only natural that it took the commandos more than 7 hours to get to Taj Hotel when alternatively, it would have taken them less than 3 hours

KoiceReloaded:
It's very unfortunate. A massive city like that has no business not having an elite security force nearby.

Meanwhile, if you line up the equidistance from New Delhi to Mumbai, you'd realize that the special forces made it to the Taj hotel in record time.

Hotel Mumbai

Brutal, compelling, and astronomically puissant. This movie didn't hold back. I appreciated the fact they didn't dramatize the whole situation by giving us a happy ending, esp in Armie Hammer's case. It just shows that in a situation like this, no one is safe or special in the eyes of terrorists.

Overall, it's not the easiest to optically canvass, but at the same time I believe it shouldn't be. This is a consequential real life event, and people should know that terrorism is real.

8.2/10

I like to ask if an applicant for Tier 4 student visa has to show evidence of the full fund for a two-year course or is it enough to show evidence of funds for the first year tuition and living cost for only the first year. Thanks in anticipation of your informed responses

Good day house,
Have been a silent follower of this thread for a while now and have been equipped wt alot of vital info's.

Plz, can my uncle who's resident in the UK pay my deposit to the sch?
I hope it's not going to affect visa decisions since he's not my sponsor??

Nigerian Prince
First off the good bits:

Direction: No lies, the direction was good even too good for a Nigerian movie. I guess we might have been criticizing our movies without even watching them but the directing in this one was good. There was even a well done long take that I'm not sure I've ever seen in a Nigerian movie.

Editing: Professional.

Acting: Nothing spectacular but it served its purpose especially Baba and the guy from Australia.

Cinematography: Good enough. Scenes were well lit. Colour was good.

Story: If I was to rate the story alone, I would give it a 7.

The bad parts

Chemistry: There was no chemistry between the two main characters to suggest the type of relationship they had.

Writing: This is the main problem we have with our movies. This one especially was littered with expressions only Americans or whites would use. Our writers need to know the lingo suitable for a movie.

Makeup: Especially where characters were bloodied. We really need to learn makeup.

Overall, the movie was slightly above average though at some points it felt stretched but looking back at what used to be made and what is currently being made, it is clear we are trying to improve and I think it's a good thing.

noob03saibot:
please, did you download it? If so, please where? I heard it's part of the Annabelle n conjuring series.

To summarise

Do not let your reason for choosing a course with internship is because you want enough time to work.

You might be disappointed and frustrated if you eventually don't get place for internship. Let your primary aim for internship be that your want to put acknowledge again during your studies to work in a practical work environment to gain international work experience which for you would contribute to your career prospects.

I got siblings who got placement and the other didnt get. Your institution would primarily try to get a place for you but its left for the company to accept you. The rule of UK/Eu citizens first always apply.

Like some said, have a plan B C and D.

LaaJiblik:
I have long stopped arguing with people.

Trust me, I know exactly what I’m saying. I feel I know more than you (on this matter).

Like I said, anyone wanting to use that route should think very carefully and have plans B, C, E, F...

Internship placements are NOT automatic. And if you don’t have an internship placement, the 20-hour rule applies to you.

If you know someone currently on that route at Northumbria University, London ‘branch’ kindly ask.

LaaJiblik:
Not to discourage anyone, but the experience I spoke about is that if someone who enrolled for the long Masters at Northumbria University, London study centre.
Forget the noise. When it’s time to seek internship places, you will be told you are strictly O.Y.O

And since internship is considered part of your work, your 20-hour per week work limit still applies.


Be careful, very careful.

nellaluv:
Please is it advisable to go for two-year master? And what if you're not able to get an internship placement? Are there consequences? My course business management.

LagosismyHome:
I had to go check what called Tier 4 visa, its had to keep up ......lol. Wow mortage with a student visa , that was brillant . I wonder what the value of the property was . I would have though mortagage with a Student visa would be a big NO. My Russian friend is trying to get a 450k mortage and banks have said no, she has to wait for her husband ILR

You learn something new everyday

LagosismyHome:
Surprise you were able to get a mortage after just 2+ in this country especially with a 5% . I thought most banks only do mortage after ILR?

That was a very good one then

jedisco:
Makes sense. Id put everything into perspective but might add one more CC just as a backup. I don't envision using past 20% of my CC for my monthly expenses except for perhaps one-off purchases.

I run some stuff back home and I'm still wondering if there's a way I can transfer funds from my CC back home. Not that its something I hope to do always but I do like having access to backup cash just in case something pops up.

jedisco:
What's the difference between the two?

DaveChapelle:
you don't pay interest for like some months....sometimes upto 2yrs....giving you time to pay off your debts....the banks make money with the hope that after that 2yrs, you are still owing money and then you start paying them interest. but you pay a transfer fee or transaction fee of maybe 1.5- 3 or 4%

obalala:
I appreciate an answer pls

Good Evening my people...
Please I have a quick question.

I'm about to request a copy of my contract from my employer as well as a reference letter stating my income and to support my application for FLR (M). Just trying to put my house in order ( Avoiding last minute preparations)

Can I apply for these supporting documents from my employer now or should I wait few weeks to when i'm to submit my application?

LagosismyHome:
hehee who no like better thing....... Loads of Nigerians have flocked into BA role . i know a couple of friends that have entered BA/ PM/PMO route

People path are different , some have used Career Insight for training , but that too. I have seen that worked for some people and seen others that did the program and nothing came out of it, and their structure can be information overload all over the place......... . meaning what works for A might not work for B. What i can say , what ever program/ training you just clear your schedule and give it your best . Some people have paid nobody and self taught themselves (google and Youtube) and packaged themselve. lol . you just have to research and find what path works best for you

obabola123:
I use old system to applied by sending all my documents off.

wallg123:
