Hello,
Response to your questions:

Please I want you to tutor me on this schooling in Finland. I want to know if:-

1. It is certain I would get 100% waiver for the school fee.
Depends on the strength of your application; your statement of purpose/intent, recommendations, previous project work etc
Some program offers living allowance of 620 per month to the students, like in UEF, students of Chemistry, Photonics and Biological Studies get that allowance


2. It is possible to get a stay there legally at the end of your programme after the one year work permit.
Yes and its now 4-year work permit (called Permit Class A)

3. If one can apply for Master's with a Master's degree or it must be with Bachelor's degree.
They mainly require your B.Sc degree but you are free to use your MSc

4. Is this route worth it
Depends what you want at the end of it; staying here or just acquiring the education. At least, you can go anywhere with your student status. Yankee visa thats so hard in Naija, I got for ease here

5. Are you there already?
Yes, Im going to Year 2 of my studies soon

I chose to ask you these cos I need your experience and it seems you are there already. Will appreciate your in depth information.
It might be hard at the beginning, adjusting and all that, but its a stepping stone to other things if you prefer to go other places.

I hope I have been able to answer your questions

Hallelu juah---Got my Visa approved on the 14/09/18.This is Heavenly favour!
Had never been to any embassy in my life(even Benin Replublic if that exist)
The interview was like 3-5mins.I prayed for favour all through last week,even while the interview was going and God favoured me.
Celebrate with me cos God is faithful and will favour you when you sincerely cry onto Him.

My transcripts...
I just got my visa approved today(14-09-2018)
This is beyond my ability(dont say am claiming holy holy).when God is involved you will ascribe all the glory to Him which is my case.
The story.........I will try to keep this short
I have been aspiring to further my education in developed countries USA as my target.Written GRE also did WES evaluation as required by the school I finally applied to. Miraculously, I was awarded FULL schorlaship and in addition,i would be paid monthly stipend in August 10 2018 and I have to resume by 27th of August.hmmmmm. My heart started beating like the heart of rabbit oooooo.I borrowed money to pay for SEVIS cos I was damn broke.I also hustle the visa application fees but the ealiest appointment date available was 14/09/18.Cold and POOH catch me cos i was thinking I would not make it with the resumption and probably loose the juicy schorlarship ooooo.I started sending mails to the school,the department,international admission office like a sales man that wanted to keep tracks of his customers.Nairalanders I sent endless mails ooo stating my situation and condition.Surprisingly,I was moved to Spring 2019(Jan) with the schorlaship and stipend still intact.Halleluyah!
Started praying for Favour on my appearance,Favour from my voice and words of my mouth ,Favour all round.Today ,woke up 4:00am hit the road 4:30am declaring favour on the road and on the traffic oooo.The traffic at Island today(14/09/18) was scaring cos am not use to this axis at all.Got to a point and jump on Okada.Got there 7:50 and I was scheduled 6:30am.Started panicking cos I have never been to any embassy before .Started asking people about my situation ,one young lady understood my siyuation and said I will be attended to.8;30am I was in ,going thru security screening.I never knew there was one small flash drive hidden inside my file oo.The security lady asked:Do you hhave flash in your file ? I said No(confidently oooo).The lady screen the file and said you have flash in that file.Lo and behold I saw the evil flash oooo.I mmediately i was directed back to square one(Join the queue from beginning.This time it was 9:00.and seems the whole of lagosians were on the queue.Some how,I jump to the front oooo.by 9:10.I started seeing blue papers like no tomorrow.
The interview started

IT IS REALLY A NEW DAWN ERA
Same is mine , because what eyes have not seen nor ears heard shall become the order of the day………………..

Hi, ubah1,please can I send you a pm, I want to ask u a question, and I want you to help me out.
If you are reapplying anytime soon, let's say for spring 2019. Just work on your answers and continue with nursing line since they have your details and record of the answers you gave them in your last interview. But if you plan to reapply for fall 2019 or 2020, you can change to any course related to your undergraduate or present work. Changing course so soon won't speak so well of you and will present you as a confused being that doesnt know what he wants, who is looking for ways to immigrate.

So you have to sit down and think over it, then make a decision. They might ask you why you changed from nursing to your new course maybe PhD Accounting incase you decide to change course, so Prepare a good answer for that. If you have a good profile, apply for PhD, most PhD programs in USA doesn't require masters and 90% are funded. The choice is yours.
