Some so-called pastors, priests, and in this case, imams are religiously deluded.

Dehonourable: Am new on d forum but honestly I found it vry educatn. My questn are: are there any engineering unis in uk dat charge tuitn fee £9,000 for Msc Eng. Secondly, wot's d duration for student visa?
Ermmn... for Engineering, I'm not sure, but I think it's usually between £10500-15000. You might be lucky to get some sort of partial (automatic) international Students' scholarship, usually between £500-1000. Be informed that some Unis could be really stingy. I suggest you peruse websites for different Unis.

The duration for most MSc program is 12months, duration of visa for such programs is usually between 15-17months.

[quote author=ik.swiss]PLEASE BROTHER'S I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY CHEAP UNIVERSITY OR COLLAGE IN UK PAYING LESS THAT 1M NAIRA AND IF THERE IS ANY SCHOLARSHIP AS A STUDENT THERE?[/quote]I'm tempted to jump at a conclusion, but to start with, are you looking at undergraduate or postgraduate?

Be specific, less than 1M could be 200k you know smiley
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part2 by FutureDon(m): 2:14pm On Jan 17, 2013
ochukoccna: Thanks justwise,another question though
Is it possible to get a student visa if you have more than enough money in your account but its not been there for 28 days&above?
Can one even be considered a visa?
I'm thinking NO!, kuku wait for September entry?
But my quandry is I've paid a deposit(3500 out of 8000 pounds)&the only way to reclaim it is having a visa refusal
I'm thinking maybe I should apply,get a refusal,get my money back and look to Canada for Sept admission instead of the UK which offers very few opportunities for students who are looking to emigrate after their studies
Hope the refusal wont be a sort of negative checkmark in later applications to other countries?
Why go spend all that money in UK&not be able to relocate unlike Canada which would warmly (the place cold sha O) recieve you?
Before Oga Justwise shares his thoughts, let me drop a few lines. I know that's a lot of money to dash out to any School. It is logical to conclude that such visa application would be refused if the required fund was not in your account for 28days before submission.

It seems your mind is made up already, deliberately allowing BHC to deny your visa application might not be a nice start to 'building' travel history. Unless you have a good travel history already(different strokes for different embassy though). I know you are trying to take precautions, luckily you might have a different story to tell as an international student. 'e no work for lagbaja no mean say e no go work for tamedo'

My opinion though. I can only wish you luck with your decisions.

Hehe, I got you, memories of antonyms, RC and quants.

What a great achievement, well done!! I initially thought you are somewhere pursuing a doctoral degree. I want to be like you when I grow up o cheesy

Datanet: Hi all, need a quick info from the gurus in the house, how do u pay for the University Applications/ processing fees for MSc programmes. The various US schools website are requesting for a Credit Card payment option and its not accepting my debit card. It also wont allow me to send in my application unless i pay first.

how do you resolve this

Thanks

regards
If your debit card aint working, I suggest you lookup 'Zenith Bank Websurfer' or Zenith Bank Buxy Card' online as I don't have up-to-date info on them any longer. They both work efficiently and you don't have to be a Zenith Bank account holder before you can get one. Also, you could always use them to order additional test scores. Good luck with your applications.

2good: This thread is almost dead. I used to be active here between 2009 and 2010 and it was a good period to communicate with fellow aspirants like myself.
I wish you guys all the best.
Yeah, you used to be very active on this thread back then.

bukahands: nice thread am preparing for the GRE this january and am studying with baron and grudgers.
Lookup this website, loads of RC practice questions.

But the Clarks' two sons are grown men who share only the same interests and emotional fluctuations of little boys. Like the character portrayed by Brad Pitt in the 2008 film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons," Matthew, 39, and Michael, 42, are aging backwards.
^^^^^^
This case is very related to Benjamin Buttons. I almost cried watching the documentary.

dominique: even whites recycle news. I've watched the documentary a couple of years ago. Apparently her condition doesn't have a name since she is the only one in the world with it.
According to what you've watched, cos not all medical oddity are reported.
FamilyRe: 20-Year-old Lady Stuck In Toddler's Body by FutureDon(m): 6:49pm On Jan 12, 2013
It's really a 'medical mystery' as reported. It's even more interesting mysterious that they've found nothing wrong with her hormone system.

CrimeRe: Murder Of Shola Adeghegha By Police In Ibadan by FutureDon(m):
Mokola Police Station again?? Many months ago, I had a displeasing experience with those guys.

They are experts at wrongly accusing law abiding citizens. It was on a hot Friday afternoon, I was on a bike when they asked okadaman to stop and we (I and some other people) were asked to move into the station. Initially, I was reluctant (and was 'blowing grammar', the Police actually said it) until the officer in question called for 2 other armed guys. The way they handled their riffles unprofessionally made me surrender.

I obliged and went in with them, I was subjected to a thorough search after I refused to 'cooperate' with them (obviously they wanted me to tip them for no reason tongue).

....hmmm after their fruitless search, they apologized and told me it was because they got a security alert that boko boys were in Ibadan.

There is a policewoman I would love to slap in that station, you all need to hear the thrash the obese girl was spitting that day.

@OP
RIP to the dead cry

kelorm: Hello everyone,
Compliments of the season. Please I will be submitting my application on the 2nd of January and I need to make a few clarifications before doing that.

1. My mum is my sponsor and am getting her statement of account with enough money to cover my remaining fees and maintenance. I also have a scanned copy of her passport bio data page. My question now is, the letter of consent should it be hand written by her or typed and signed by her

4. I read in the first part of this thread that BHC don't accept laminated documents am afraid most of my certificates are laminated. I hope there won't be a problem

5. There was a mistake in the spelling of my first name in my NECO certificate but I have an affidavit from the federal High court to correct that mistake. I hope am good to go
I have answered only 3 of your questions to the best of my knowledge.

1. It should be typed and signed

4. Not true, I submitted 2 laminated documents and my visa was approved.

5. With the affidavit, you are good to go.

Chief, no cause for alarm, it's a norm for them to randomly select applicants for interview. I'm sure your required documents are still with them. Just bounce there with a newspaper in your hand, lol.
