TWoods:
Exactly my point. We all know that the basis for granting a non immigrant visa is the acknowledgment that we intend to return to our home country after the duration of the program. As you’ve rightly said, even the OP and his/her minions heard and agreed to the condition so who is fooling who with the crocodile tears now?

Yes, this notice was there since 2008, so 10 years down the line anyone who still need red alert need rebooting.

TWoods:
This is more evidence you simply respond without thinking. Nothing you attributed to me above is true... no surprise you wasted millions on an education without planning for tomorrow.

1. I don’t live in the UK. I made that abundantly clear yesterday.

2. At no point have I insisted that anyone waste money on an education anywhere. I’ve simply made the point that people take time to PLAN BEFORE embarking on any major endeavor. Research immigration laws (if your intention really is to immigrate), job market, your potential employer prospects, how your proposed school (and degree in view) stacks up with competitors with respect to your future employer, whether there is funding available (I always advocate never paying for school where scholarships and fellowships are available) etc.

Anyone who did the above (and it really doesn’t require rocket science) would never choose the UK as a study destination. You failed to do so, now you’re looking for a scapegoat to blame.

Too often many here are so focused on just “being abroad” that they do not stop to think through and formulate a workable plan that gives them the best return on investment. Crying after the fact is amusing to me.

mehn leave that woman, She get her own wahala, and she nor gree apply via her MSC to come Uk ohh, she return, her Husband is here and she chose that path.
Im sure wise and smart people can deduce what to do if they want to come here or not. Fact is, WEAK people cant live here period. You must be smart to live here no LUCK! SO make Una rest

Aphrodite007:
Oh please zip it both of you! Erico2k2! I am having a happy day and have zero tolerance for this!

All the people that left for Canada, Aus, US and Germany, didn’t they promise to return to Nigeria? Did they return?

You guys are so selfish. You’ve got your own lives set up in the UK and instead of helping your fellow youths make better decisions, you insist on advising them to burn 8M for just a degree. This is why we probably don’t need the youths leading Nigeria, you guys are so mean and don’t want any other person to progress other than yourselves!

You both have admitted the difficulty in getting jobs in the UK but are cool with people spending their inflated and undervalued naira on education. People are literally begging for food in Nigeria, they can’t afford 2 meals anymore and instead of commending the OP you are making noise!

One day, nobody will be there to advise you when you need suggestions for life dependent decisions! Nobody!

You are so disrespectful, what's the Point of telling us to ZIP it when we are meant to be having an intelligent conversation? is this how you talk to ur Hubby at home? Well I don't blame you. When you join him in the Uk tell him to ZIP lets see if U do not land back in 9ja,lubish.
PS anyone who want to quote me I'm open for healthy debate, I nor run but Insults forget me, I'm sure there are loads of people on here for that.

activelyA:
See you! !!
For whereeeee.. ..
Who go give am residence visa?? ?

No resident nah sponsorship and the course she read so is highly desired . I did mech Engineering I got job and her course serious pass my own.

TWoods:
In the grand scheme of things, how many prospective students read these threads? If they aren’t deterred by clear immigration rules, neither will they listen to your epistles according to lamentations here.

The problem isn’t that the rules aren’t clear, it’s that we all think we are so special that God will come down and break rules for just us... I mean “our case is different” no?

As we speak.it is made known to all who wish to study in the UK now that U must go home.they do t even give you the slightest hope you will gain employment .

lebete3000:
Okay can one use the visiting visa to do an exam over there and buy some goods to come back and sell?

Bros which kind exam again??

gentlemate00:
The link should paste into Uk student visa section some of the student need this information.

They all know.it is said at the interview and they swear to return after study . Evenn the OP did same but here we are!

sunnysunny69:
Sad state of the country Nigeria, a graduate with distinction turned bricklayer. Sometimes it doesn't pay to go to university, if he had been a bricklayer since leaving secondary school maybe he'll be handling full house construction by now.

What's wrong with being a bricklayer ? It's the Nigerian index that is at play here

activelyA:

BISSE32:
Good morning colleagues

I bough foreign used Peugeot 206 2003 model, the car was very clean and okay. But the only problem is when you start the car you must return the key to its normal position other wise the would not return automatically which can result in burning the starter.

I need an advice , in case if someone have encountered similar problem how did he resolve it?

You need a complete key barrel for your car,or U can wire ur car to have thumb start!

Ipfreely:
As much as i don't wish to blame the victim, I do have to say that you don't seem particularly auto savvy, to have paid that much for a Nigerian used vehicle, without due diligence. These guys played in your enthusiasm and your less than average auto knowledge.

The second they said you couldn't test drive, you should have just called it quits. There were SO many red flags in this entire sordid experience.

The vehicle was driving position converted? And had all these other issues?

very correct, I remember back in the days as a teenager went to Alaba Int mkt to buy a CD player ahah, The seller tried the set and it wont work, he now told me *lets go to the repairer he will fix it and U can pay* we went, its like Mendi(JAzz ), it was 20 mins later my brain picked and Im like Hold on a minute, why buy a fixed stereo when I can go nxt shop, nah so I remove sharp sharp

Hayastark:
After gnashing our teeth and biting our nails in regret. We knew we had lost. It was a bad buy. We had to get it off our hands and count our loss.
We took the car to CARS45 with their report to sell it. The agent had told us they would buy it for at least 1.4m if we are lucky we can get more. Even though that was less than what we paid for it and had also spent money fixing. We were ready to sell it for that.
On Monday we took it to cars45 office. To sell it.
They looked at it, drove its a long distance. We got back to their office, they look at it again. And proceeded to give use the report .
This car is 2008model it was only upgraded to 2011
(Omg. Which kind wahala be this)
But we where not told, infact your report shows...
That doesn't count, he said
they gave us a new report
This new report showed the car was in a very bad shape.
Mind you it is the same company that had given the first report when we bought it from them.
After the report
They offered us 650 for the car
I DIEd

I fainted

Hayastark:
The Uber driver picked the car on sunday. We assumed payment will start by the end of the week.
Only for the driver to call on tuesday morning to say the car was overheating and had stoppeded with a rider in transit. We couldn't believe it. Kilode?. He had taken it to his mechanic scanned the car. Told him the car had wiring issue and series of other issue, but what was more shocking was that the car was right hand changed to left hand. Jesus!!! My heart sunk.
From all I have read such change can only be done well by the manufacturer. But this one was done here in Nigeria.
We were sad but what else can we do. We started spending money change this, change that, rewire was done. Still wasnt looking good,, as for 2weeks the uber driver couldnt remit any money to us.
I called the car45 agent.
"U didn't tell us this car was changed from rigth wheel to left....

@ Bolded Not true, follow my thread

Justice96:
On point try other countries... My sis studied nursery in Norway she was retained and employed were she did IT. She's earning big than doctors here... Forget UK i nor even like dat Country b4

Norway is cool, Them nor follow Eu matter

EMMAACHILE:
Better spend the cash in lesser known countries like Czech republic where tuition is below $600 averagely (as low as $200 per year) for some courses. Cheap cost of living, PR far easier to get, access to Europe, etc

Germany (mostly free tuition), Norway (free tuition) are also good. PR is almost guaranteed for Germany and Norway PR said to be dependent on your bank account.
Those with good IT skills especially in ecommerce will enjoy these places as your earnings will cover your cost of living.

Their Degree might not be globally recognised like them ones from the UK,US and Canada, I mean the Eastern EU countries though!

Heimdall:
You've said it yourself. That's the message @aphrodite007 and @saouri have been trying to pass across.
Most people don't know how difficult it is to get a job in UK. Why will you spend so much money and end up having only 2% chance of getting a job afterwards.

Hmm but monies spent on Education should not be used as a yard stick to measure your employability after study. Do not 4get people in the UK still pay,Uni is not free for British citizens, the owe huge debt after school!This is why some of them kids vacate the Uk after Uni to go US or Canada

Ahahaa
I dey read.I'm coming bck

tobiasbeecher:
Picking a fight, with you? Common, I don't have the time but all I can say to you is to be humble and stop behaving as if your life circumstance is better than everyone else.

Like I said . You seem to wanna pick a fight , there was a context in which I made that remark . U can't jst jump in and pick a particular phrase cos it suits ur agenda . I will say this again mind ur business .

salford1:
Great. I graduated just when the recession started in the UK. The part timers in my class were losing jobs. Note that my class had about 6 full time and about 20 part time students. I immediately knew the that the full time students including myself were bleeped. If the ones with years of experience were losing jobs, wetin us go do?
I had to restrategize and apply for jobs in other fields while i applied for immigrant programs in other countries. Actually the UK masters gave me the much desired points i needed to qualify for Canada's highly skilled migrant program. It was a great deal for me cos i got the masters degree in 1 year! UK grads that are finding it difficult to get jobs and stay back. should try the Austalia or Canada immigration programs. Better than roaming streets of Nigeria searching for jobs and blaming the UK gov or schools.

Well done now that's a person thinking outta the box

tobiasbeecher:
Are you serious about the highlighted statement? So, being in Nigeria is now a crime? So, you being in the UK is a big trophy for you? I have been observing your comments but this is the most ridiculous. Come off your high horse dude, you sound so arrogant.

Not at all but for him it IS hence his lamentations . Sometimes you lot should read fru b4 jumping into conclusion . Is he the only one in 9ja . ?did you not also read a part where I clearly stated I moved my family to 9ja ? Or you just looking to pick a fight ? ?
Plz respect yourself .

salford1:
Chinese ke..Those ones have lots of money ooo.
When i wawms in uni back in the UK, those chinese students would go shopping for £2000 camera and expensive designer wears on their first week of arrival. I see them al around my uni snapping pics of flowers and traffic light with their expensive dlr camera. Once they are done with their program, they return to hongkong or beijing..
Even here in Canada, it's the same thing. They returm to their country upon the completiom of their programs despite the opportunity to stay back for 1 to 3 years.

They are loaded . Thier economy good . They just wan upgrade their English

Least we forget.the UK schools are under no obligation to get you work or advice you of life after school . That's the duty of the home office and the Labour mkt . So I dont think the Universities would do that . Rather that point of you getting VISA is where they should put it and I dare say they DO . So anyone coming here should put this at the bck of their minds there might be no JOBS after your education .

Aphrodite007:

Nah .true lol during my time we had nothing like CV library ohh nah to print plenty CV and store soft copy on floppy disk . Dey waka from office to office and JOB centre nah our 2nd home no broadband at home . No phone internet .

Aphrodite007:
whoa! 200 applications, you are the real MVP! , when I grow up, I want to be like you.

Boys dey apply for 5oo jobs oh ahhahs
Cos your CV is stored so in most cases you jst click apply

dupyshoo:
Hehehe!!!

I schooled in England not Scotland. If my brother/sister gets the opportunity to study for free in the UK, I will tell them to take it. Though, I won't advise them to come and spend their money here.

With regard to your other comments, first, how many of them actually go for apprenticeship? They are very few. I am a STEM ambassador and I know the struggle to get home students to study Engineering. Even British-Nigeria teenagers don't even want to study Engineering. Most of them will rather go for easier courses. I could count the number of British students studying EE while I was in Uni.

Yes, a lot of them work in construction Industry. Most of them are getting old and they need young people to fill their positions. Even those that are working just mastered what they are told to do. They sometimes struggle to make decision outside the norm as they lack understanding of the theory behind what they are doing.

I never said you will surely get a job if you apply early. I actually agree with a lot of your comments. In fact, some companies will not even allow you to go further once you state you need sponsorship. I applied for over 200 jobs myself and got rejected for over 90% of the applications I made. Did about 5-6 assessment exercise and got 2 offers. That is less than 2%. You can imagine the amount of effort I put into it as it can take you hours to even complete 1 application. Despite the effort I put in, it is not just by my effort but favour as I know a lot of people that put more effort than I did but still did not yield any results.

Engineering is tough . Not for the easy head.16 years down the line I still face daily challenges at wrk we still greasy . But like I always tell young bud . The cost of studying Engineering and Biz administration are almost same . Think ahead b4 you U get admission .

cronsberg:
The british do not speal english, what they speak in newcastle and manchester is not english, its jibberish. But a proper "gentleman"; properly dressed in noble finery, speaks the king's english, and writes in the queen's hand.

Exactly and I'm not a gentleman

Aphrodite007:
Everything related to IT is computer science. Everything. So with a BSc (which is naturally meant to be the only degree one should get), you can work as anything in the field of IT provided you are skilled in it or have certifications to prove knowledge of it. You don’t need to see COmputer S8cientist as a job, but all he It jobs would request for CS as a pre-requisite.

Just like medicine, you don’t need an MSc to specialise in any computing field.

Noted . Thanks 4 the insight . I'm marely stressing the less needs of them down here as all of our jobs comes with software package hence the limited IT space . 12 years ago yes but rigjt about now for people outta the EU Hmmm not very bright as U can clearly see frm that list . It'd way to short for me to advice anyone to try . Unless you have expirience in them packages .
