U.K has just announced plans to force students to leave when their course ends. After spending 6 or 7 million they will send you home with your qualifications. Compared to Canada and Australia them that allow you to work for several years after graduation. Yet some would have you believe that the U.K of 7 years ago is the same now. If you're not a top-tier professional, getting ILR is difficult through normal means, talk less of finding work. People should do research before they just wake up and go anywhere to avoid stories that touch.
They require you to earn certain amount. £35 within 6 years of employment.

what I will advice you to do is to get in touch with the Nigeria High Commission in UK, I don't think things can work by doing it alone. inform the Nigeria High commission as soon as possible, that is your country in Uk
I think it's the embassy in Nigeria.

Honestly you seem evasive and not straightforward when asked very simple and direct questions.

What dates did you travel
With Which airline
How did you pay,credit card /Bank Card?
Have you got proof of payment
Did you retain your boarding cards
If you booked online you will have some email confirmation
If you booked with a travel agency contact them
Too much talk na lie dey inside

IF you have evidence of you travel then tender it

If those are the ONLY grounds for their action then I expect them to reverse themselves
we know the score bro.he knows what he did hence no answers to them basic questions..those officials ain't stupid. They. Can check an airline manifesto

sometimes I wonder if we live in the same country with this so called "Gejites". Nigeria almost collapsed in the hands of PDP. even the boko haram we are battling today rose from the watch of a PDP led Govt. it was so obvious that those who didn't like the persona of PMB had to vote him in just to have a change. the least we can do as patriots is to join hands and support our president. remember we all have a common enemy (boko haram et.al) we shouldn't make enemies out of ourselves. all this pro and anti Buhari antics is dividing this nation without we knowing. remember UNITED WE STAND. DIVIDED WE FALL.
bro are you sure we have a common enemy?// huh huh

[quote author=tensazangetsu post=35777816]eheh guy you have to drop the Nigerian way of thinking,duel more on waht you can do rather than the paper you earn, hence most successful people start with BSc then earn more qualification as the move along the ladder of field of work.I would be thinking of PHD when I own my own firm not to work for anybody

This may be true for some.. what I see Nigerians do when they first arrive is to limit themselves and limit their circle, listening to advise from fellow Nigerians who have been here so long with nothing to show for it.

If that qualified banker rolls with the right people who know what they are doing, he would secure a great job without much struggle.

A very close friend of mine became a senior drug safety scientist within 3yrs of arriving the UK.. dude has a 2.2 in microbiology from Onabisi Onabanjo Uni.. no masters, no previous work experience. It was a lady he met in the industry that put him through how to package his cv to get the job.

So you see it not that Nigerian qualifications is looked down upon here.
when you first arrive i n the Uk the group of people you hang out or live with matters a lot, if they wake up 4 am to do cleaning Jobs that's the line you will follow, if they are security officers that's the line you will follow, if they are office workers Hr staff accountants, that's the line you will also follow cos you know nothing better at that stage until you can brake away from that circle and discover yourself.In my honest opinion I think the OP is not giving a true representation of the life abroad.I was lucky to come to the UK in my early 20s when things where still easy,I have seen the good the bad and the ugly. Coming to the Uk was the best move in my life not that I only gained financially but got exposed now that's priceless.My reasoning was upgraded no matter where I find myself tomorrow I can survive.Life is choice driven.But for the women ,its a different ball game,family life is a battle, men can pack up go back to 9ja and get married,a bit difficult for our sisters

This education you are talking about begins after you must have spent up to 4 years studying the language, then add years in school, if you was 30 b4 you went there, BABA never reach?have you not mortgage you youthfulness?you will be starting when people are planning to retire

I greet you brother, all you said are true but not how you put them. What matters most is what you are going to do in Obodo Oyinbo. I have lived in European countries wella and the Uk, and i can say confidently that our naija brothers just go to Obodo Oyibo to suffer deliberately.
Now using Amstadam as a case study, i was there for my Xmas last year; u need to see naija guys at Schiphol closet begging for arms from blacks, Or is it Germany or London?.
To summarize all, you must have something in mind to do, nor something waiting for you to do before going. Since i am aware of such shit that befall our fellow naija men, i tend to question my guys before helping them come over, and such person must show the spirit of clean hustling..

I rest my case.
plz did you see Nigerians begging on the street of London?

Yes I know people make such amount both abroad and in Nigeria but he saying $200k in the U.S. Is rubbish when his mates are making 200 million in Nigeria is insinuating everybody who goes to Nigeria will be a millionaire. We all know there are a lot more people suffering in Nigeria that actually earning millions so that argument doesn't hold water.

We all seek for millions with no justification in Nigeria . Quick wuick easy money is the mantra, no one cares how.
guy this $200, is it weekly or monthly or daily? me I'm lost here.

How is it that you keep more of your income lol? I told you the tax rate of the state with the highest tax rate in the country which is New York. Texas and many other states don't have state tax, they only have federal tax rates of like 15%. Moreover, the average engineer in the U.S earns more money than one in the UK. Its the same for most career fields. Ex a fresh pharmacy school graduate in the U.S may have a starting base base pay of $160,000 per annum, can't compare that with the UK.
Let me give you an example, if I earn £3000 before tax, I might pay £350 in tax and £180 in national Insurance. that will leave me with £2470 after tax, u get me now,its even better when you have family as you get tax relief.
