You sold your house ke? Please tell me you didn’t? Cos wtf

Treadway:
it is not hate. It is just the way it is. All this story no concern the school. Why are you not getting that? Of course I remember you, your thread and your case. I commented and was one of those who offered encouragement, but the fact remains the school is not a charity and didn't offer those people scholarships. Nothing concerns them with Nigeria's hopeless situation caused by hopeless evil leaders. They wanted their money, and these students couldn't pay up when it was due, and now the repercussions have happened. EOD

RodgersAkpafu:
all these things are just excuses and defending bad behaviour plus poor planning.

we get it
people wanna flee Nigeria
but do it the right way

RodgersAkpafu:
This is the undiluted truth


That's why I was laughing hard at those twitter people bragging that Nigeria is very integral to the student market in the UK.

Yea we dey try, but una dey too overestimate una importance

You wan compare yourself with Chinese and Russian students?
wey dey pay fees one hand before them even land for country ?

Spend money from China and Russia without looking for work

how many Nigerian students can fit into the description above ?
most had their pof sorted, sold land and stuff to meet fees and had to borrow more to buy ticket

make we dey fool ourselves

Gerrard59:
Sorry about your case, but the next time Nigerians want to study abroad as it has been within the past four years, they should convert every naira they have to dollars at the prevailing rate. This optimistic attitude of saving in naira while hoping the value remains static is foolhardy. Except for the recent defence of the naira, the naira has never appreciated against the dollar. That is an undeniable fact. So, why save in naira hoping to use it to offset expenses in pounds? You save everything in dollars immediately you have a naira equivalent of say $1000.

I told my parents to convert when the naira was 360 to the dollar. So, even if the naira had exploded to 5000, that is not my business. I already converted it to dollars when it was 360. That becomes my expenses and tuition fees. An alternative is saving in USDT, which Tensa20 did. Again, nothing bothered him with whatever CBN and Tinubu did.

Nigerians should stop being too optimistic. Always expect the worst to happen, and prepare for it.

Treadway:
again bro, why are the Indians, Chinese, Ghanaian and all the other international students at Teeside not protesting, and ONLY Nigerians are?

I don't know where you copied that graph from but I have attached a graph from .gov.uk source below, and you can see that at best we are number 3.

See all this one no even matter, as no be main issue. The main issue is we don't have two heads or any special status in this instance. If fees had been paid before the deadlines, they wouldn't have issues. They have issues cos fees were not paid. Nothing concerns the uni with one country's/students woes.

RodgersAkpafu:
hope you know that figure is main applicant plus dependant and not main applicant alone

In actual students case, China far outstrips Nigerians
no even think am
the schools know it
and most Chinese students are young, unmarried and came with no dependants



I see them balling in Tribeca

Treadway:
bro, pls correct that misinformation, just in case you are serious. The facts have been out since last year bro.

International students are sustaining the universities, not Nigerians. Nigerians are a small sub-set of those international students! The only negative reason we got recognition by home-office is that despite that the Nigerian student numbers are smaller than the rest of international students, we ended up bringing in more dependents than almost all the other intl student dependent numbers combined!

Why aren't the Chinese protesting or the Indians, or even freaking Ghanaians or all the international students from various countries not protesting at Teeside? See why I say they are being a nuisance?

The Nigerian maladministration and also the 'risk factor' that most if not all of them indulged in, caught up with them. It is painful yea, but they should take their L and re-strategize and not this stoopid protest.

You can't decide terms for the university or expect special treatment because unfortunately you have useless leaders back home that fuckkkkked things up for you. Fact is, it is none of the university's concern...and this protest will achieve nothing but even cause problems for others in the future. Maybe when Nigerians get blacklisted from applying for student visas in many of their universities people will understand.

Mindlog:
Why should Nigerians do the British, a favour?

By the way, Nigerians are not even half of the number of international students from China,

Treadway:
pathetic and annoying! and I ain't sorry to say it.

When they (Home office) change the rules and adopt block accounts like Germany now, or even outrightly blacklist Nigerians
from student visas, everybody eye go clear. Even then, Nigerians will still yammer cos na birthright apparently

Quick question, do these people think Nigerians are the only international students? Why in the hell do you think/assume that the university will bend over backwards for you cos you are from Nigeria and your useless leaders are doing what they know how to do best? Awon ko lo koba yin na.

We be making too much noise, as usual. Meanwhile, fact is una no rish

Shior.

Prigozhin:
Sounding the alarm should be our priority now but Nigerians would think you don't want them to come.

I am in the same shoe with them just that my university hasn't thrown me out but they have sent warning once and gave me duration of time to balance up. I have been here since February 3rd and I haven't got a job. Thank God for a concerned nairalander I met on this thread who lives in the same city with me. He is the one who usually refer me to a place for night shift just to have some change in my pocket. Coming to UK on a study Visa without full tuition is the worst decision any Nigerian can make now. Jobs are scarce to get sef.

tuzeriouz:
This is completely unacceptable and doesn't augur well with the failing fiscal and financial position of the economy boldly marked with increasing inflation.

TelegramLord:
You should also know and understand that not everyone is going to the UK to work so that they can pay their Tuition balance.

Some already have the full tuition and upkeep.
This your take only applies to those that don't have atleast their full tuition fees.

twosquare:
Well, it is predicted that almost 300 Million jobs will be lost to AI revolution, and 2030 is the shift.

So, the wise thing is to join the AI wing, learn it, learn how to code it...etc., because it is still at its infancy.

airsaylongcome:
Tool not threat. Where computers a threat to typists? Every typist that wanted to remain relevant learned word processing. Same way workers of the future will have to learn Prompt Engineering. AI is a tool not a threat

harsysky:
would it on its own do the work? I will bring up new kind of roles to jobs and get people busy with acquiring more skills.

Has washing machine stopped laundry houses from opening? No!

iLoveYouToo:
Air Peace will continue to have issues in the UK till their CEO clears his name

ElevationD:
Sensible man, please tell us what EFBs are. Also please tell us what you understood from the letter to NCAA by the UK authorities.

tensazangetsu20:
To be honest, these people didn't plan. Even when things were good, I doubt you could pay your fees on your own working on a student job without a dependent without breaking some rules.

tensazangetsu20:
To be honest if you can't make it in the UK and try to break into a career where else can you make it again in this world? I am extremely curious. You don't even have a language barrier.

MrSoftlife:
Tell them to change their ways.
If you don’t have the money to be a bona fide student, then go to Qatar and other countries to hustle.

Tell them to stop cheating a system and look they should learn to blame the man in the mirror and change their ways.

A student visa is for students and a work visa is there.

Yes, everyone has a different story as I know people who did good courses and went to top schools in the UK and are doing pretty well in the UK with job placement from the companies they did placement with.

Since the UK need UK work experience then it's better for one to go for courses that offer such placement after the 1-year program don't you think?!

samintegrity:
Pls read the article nau..

The UK authority accused air peace of not getting an approval for using it. They even mentioned that one of her pilots attested to using the device for navigation

And also, they accused them of not mounting the device while being used, it's like holding a GPS device while driving without properly mounting it, even Uber drivers are advised to always mount Thier phones to help them focus while driving..

also, no charging points provided to ensure the device is on and operational at all times, also no battery backups..

Simply put, it means perhaps they use an handheld device, without charging while in air, also no extra battery available just in case the device goes drained..

I think sir peace needs to respond to this and do the needful, Lagos to UK is a long flight, and we wouldn't want to put our people's lives in danger.

Barzinime:
Schooled who?
In your wildest dreams.
Enter plane go London enter Downing street go and school them there untypical black man

teebaxy:
Do you have any sense like this, even the owner of airpeace will be shocked at your level of stupidity… Airpeace is ahead of UK ?

Barzinime:
Go and tell them how to govern their country na.

onadana:
That is not enough reason to ignore safety standards by cutting corners.If they did the right thing will they have a reason to complain?Or should you give someone ammunition to shoot at you?
