RedCapChief:
APC will also blame GEJ for this

I remember the words of Rabiu Kwankwaso who described the post-election upturn in stock market and forex market as the benefits of the 'Buhari Effect'. Even Lai Mohammed praised the increased power generation as a blessing from 'Buhari's Body Language'

Unfortunately, even local investors have seen that body language is not a substitute for simple economic policy. The foreign investors have run away since. Six months after inauguration, the only economic news coming from Nigeria is . .'MTN gets fined' . .'Guinness gets fined' . . .'EFCC arrests Dasuki' e.t.c
Baba is the everything and we must go at his pace

PDP were a bunch of rogues but this ineptitude and foolery from APC is too much. After desiring a post for 12years, he seems determined to collect the title of 'Captain Clueless' from a former somebody

Keep blaming Jona oo! Mr. Lai will soon release statement blaming Jona and Patience for this

So MTN and Guinness should have been congratulated for flaunting regulations in their respective sectors.

Another lie to fool Nigerians that they r working, whereas this same so call Govt can't solve our power sector without extortion of our hard earned money.. If honestly they did recovered those funds why not invest it in those demanding sectors instead of increasing pump price and electricity bills

In civilised countries currency hawking is a serious money laundering offence.

In Australia post offices, banks and registered vendors are the ones responsible for forex. Same as UK

It's only.in Nigeria that a Northerner will change £5000 pounds for an individual without any documentation

Bros seriously that is not a threat but a statement of FACT.

The truth that every enlightened Nigerian knows is that standard of living is poor in SE. This shouldn't be in a hard working and innovative tribe. Forget the crime issue. Everyone knows your people are truly hard working which shouldn't be for a hard working tribe. The only thing lacking is the diplomacy to know when to act, what to act on and how to act.

What is happening in the SE is very unfortunate but it is common knowledge that it is as a result of the tribes inability to politically recover from what happened some forty something years ago. It is no ones fault that the tribe keeps miscalculating politically.

This same political miscalculation happened during the last election. It is still happening now with the secession protests. Whether we like to accept or not, it will not succeed and It will definitely have its consequences(politically) in the future whether we like to accept or not.

The actions of the past leaders that started the secessionist movement is what is telling on their present offsprings. Even if the tribe gets their acts right do you think others will ever trust a people who doesn't believe in the country to lead.

The way forward is to restrategise politically and forge a formidable and trust worthy front. Whatever happened to APGA. Can the capitulation of APGA also be attributed to the wrong notion of "marginalisation"

You talked about the @bold. My broda it is your people that is holding guns to our head with your threats of secession while also calling for fiscal federalism and political inclusion but it was still your people that truncated a similar arrangement before the civil war.

The fact is that people forgive and forget but history does not.

It's obvious alot of Yorubas and Hausa hate Igbos why force them to stay

jomoh:
Some people will prefer he sits in Aso Rock and summon the Chinese President just because some people decides to protest the incarceration of someone accused of treasonable offence. They keep proving him right and putting him into further trouble.


Nigeria will be great either Biafra joins in building it or not. It will only be for their own good if they join hands in building the country instead of going against it at this crucial time.

History won't judge them right if they refuse to and they and their grand children will forever regret it.

You guys continue threatening our unborn kids and wish we negotiate with you?

No one ever fully cooperates with a gun to his head. I was vehemently against Biafra but with the mirage of threats on Nairaland, I am having a deep rethink

madjnr:
my friend even your bible gave you order to do it...why are you concerned about the laws of Saudi Arabia what about country like China that execute someone for selling drug? what's special about the Saudi? it's their law so whenever you're in their land you have to obey it... if you don't like it don't come to Saudi Arabia, simple... if you read my post you will see that the bible prescribed death to apostate... the question is why are Christian following only some part of the bible and not all

Because Christians have evolved to the reality of the modern as opposed to Muslims (Sunni) still living in the 12th century

Complete utter lie

Hello bro,
Good to know you attended Cranfield. I just got admission for Thermal Power (Gas Turbine Technology) for 2016/2017. I'll be glad if you could provide any relevant information about the school as regards:
1) Employment prospects after graduation
2) Accommodation cost and ease of securing one
3) Ease of transportation within the town and to neighboring cities like London et.al
4) Social and extracurricular activities
5) Any other information you deem important

Thank you. I await your reply.

1.Employment after school is high for home students as per international students it is increasingly difficult.

2. Accommodation is cheaper if you live in a shared house on campus. If you are interested in this option, please apply early on EVE portal. Cranfield University is in a remote location and to be honest living on campus is your best bet.

3. The nearest big towns are Bedford on one side and milton Keynes on the other. There busses going either direction from school every half hour. The journey as well in either direction takes approximately 30 mins.

However I must warn that the services are less frequent on Saturdays (hourly) and even lesser on Sundays (every 1 Hour 30 mins)

Also London is about 40 via train from both MK and Bedford train stations.

4. Social activity is poor due to the size and nature of the school. It is a postgraduate only University, therefore it is shouldn't be surprising that the population is significantly lower when compared to traditional universities. However, you can always go to Bedford or Milton Keynes to club etc.

5. The school is highly regarded in Europe but if you are self sponsored, and wish to study in Cranfield University studying an Msc in Manufacturing or Supply chain may do you better overall. This is because alot of jobs related to thermal power in the UK require security clearance, which you cannot meet as an international student.

Cranfield University would have been perfect if the immigration laws in the UK were fairer, as it is one of the best universities in Europe. This is evidenced by the unparalleled industry collaboration in research as well as the unprecedented reputation it commands.

Hope this helps. (forgive any typo or errors, I'm replying on my mobile)

ochukoccna:
This was the differentiating marker for you
I didn't know where to look for this companies for I knew and did practically all of your listed points save for this
That's why its said, when in doubt ask questions
Thank you for your swift response
Its appreciated spacyzuma


I concur with this
Though I think it was his constant negative speaking of the UK that brought vitriol G.Shepard's way
1 thing I imbibed subliminally in the UK is that everyone has choices and opinions and should be left to advocate such
Even if that opinion will bring desolation or grief in future, that person has a right to such
This differs from Nigeria where contrary opinions to rocking the boat are not enthusiastically embraced
Personally, I don’t dig the UK but I have people who can swear by Queen Elizabeth's derriere just to enter there
But to each his own.
Cheers

I never forced my opinion on anyone, everyone I suggested Australia to, was contacted once.

On the contrary my critics are the ones that can't tolerate contrary opinion

TheZed:
by January I will be in my final year, for days now have been trying to source out info concerning the best place to have my M.sc( UK is a no go area for me). Please can you help me with info on schools that offer aeronautic engineering or manufacturing and production there in Australia cheap enough for an average Nigerian.

My field is offshore engineering and so I am not an expert in this field

However, ironically one of the best schools to study aeronautics or manufacturing is my alma mata. Cranfield University in the UK.

They are one of the best if not the best is aerospace engineering and Manufacturing in the world.



As per Australia check out University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, University of new south Wales, Monash University.

PappyMason:
You have no sense.

How can oil wells turn to gas wells?

Nigeria is far richer in natural gas than crude.

Stop spamming this thread with your liar mohammed tier rubbish

Technically he may be correct, gas is often reinjected into ageing wells to boost crude oil production. This is known as gas lift.

When the well is depleted of crude oil , the gas is retrieved and processed.

On the other hand, gas is the usually the first to come out of a hydrocarbon well as it is lighter than oil and water.

justwise:
Thank God he did not tell you not to come to the UK because there is no job and the govt don't like foreign students.

Please mark the main phrase in his post, a few years ago. Post 2012, securing a job in the UK for an international students has increased in difficulty.

I rest my case. And yes, studying in the UK gave me access to the Australian labour market, imagine what studying in Australia itself has to offer.

DisGuy:
On one hand hand I agree with you, prospective students needs to know the realities of living in these foreign countries- good, bad etc
But When it becomes repeated every other pages then it gets irritating especially with the amount of information out there, one would expect anyone intending to study for a PG degree will have access to these info and make informed decisions.

Some people see their student visa as a ticket out of naija and many conclude working in the UK is the only way to recoup their investments, what about working elsewhere?

moving to Abuja doesnt translate to landing a government contract..same way studying in England doesnt guarantee anyone a working visa..

The last time I wrote about this topic was about two months ago or more. So where did you guys get the repeated everyother page from?

Mogidi:
The future appears bleak no matter how optimistic one wants to be. Next year we might be grappling with Boko haram/Biafra/Niger Delta militants and a very weak economy.

If the army don't remove Buhari, Buhari might end up removing Nigeria from world map.

Treason

crazydove:
Justwise why are you allowing this one derail the thread and diverting our discussion?

So SpikesC that was directly insulting me wasn't derailing the thread or you that called me childish.

The guy I gave the suggestion said he had his reasons for studying in the UK. What was my reply to him? 'all the best'

But you and your ilk came out of the woodwork to spew rubbish, defender of the British Empire.

Mtchewww

spikesC:
He is right you know. Coming here to repost this every now and then is very childish and constitutes spamming.

You have no experience in USA, Canada nor Australia, so you have no authority to advise people on where to go and study.
Sorry to say this but you came to the UK, had your opportunity and failed. Failed woefully you couldn't even accept it and move on with your life.

Please, we beg you, the travel section has been up and running even before you thought about travelling abroad. You came here seeking for help just like all of us at some point, so do not destroy it for others.

So suggesting studying in another country is destroying the travel section. Your thought processing is really poor, I wonder the kind of programmes you develop with such illogical thinking

Does graduating with a good result mean failure to you? Or securing an oil and gas job in Perth Australia also constitute failure?

Okay continue lol

If there wasn't islam in this world....

Humans will still find excuse to commit crime.

Hitler was not a Muslim was he?

Gangis Khan was not a Muslim. Was he?

worry359:
You have expressed your view and you are entitled to that.
To keep re-posting the same thing in reply to every post is childish behavior
and makes you look foolish.

So because worry359 doesn't like my post I must be childish.
Guy abeg swerve this na early morning, make I enjoy my coffee first

crazydove:
Everything in life has a proceedure and process even the way we talk and discuss.
What you are talking about does it tally with the thread?
Did you see anyone post anything relating to stay back in the uk after school?

So someone must talk about it before I talk about it. As far as I am concerned it is in relationship with how Nigerian students in the UK survive.

I feel prospective students should be fully aware of job prospects in their intended country of study.

So I am well in order. At least I haven't been moderate by justwise.

crazydove:
You have been on this issue for too long and its boring.
Everyone knows about the uk immigration.coming here to post about immgration is a waste.you can't just come everytime and repeating yourself when no one asked about job opportunity or staying behind after school on this thread.when such issues are raised you can discuss or give your advice.
Its canada,australia and US that discuss such issues

It's my prerogative to express my view as I deem fit. When you become a moderator you may decide. So please don't tell me when and when not to offer advice.

justwise:
You may have to calm down with this your ant-UK campaign and allow people to make up their own mind. You have been on this for too long now. People have their reasons for choosing the UK and not Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

It's not an anti UK campaign, I love the UK but the immigration laws are not in favour of international students and it is consistent with conservative policies over the years.

So please why not say it as it is or at least don't try and paint me as anti UK. Biko I take God beg you

Alfredd:
Thanks for your concern but I will take my chances, plus your reasons for wanting an international education may be different

By all means.All the best

dominique:
If he truely stole then he deserves every single bit of the humiliation. This should serve as a lesson to those who derives joy by making others miserable, your day will soon come.

So how do.determine he actually stole? Do you yet not see the irony of jungle justice?

Alfredd:
Also got an offer from Coventry University, what's next pls? I know of TB test and statement showing fees and maintenance money for 28 days, am I missing anything else? How far have you gone?

Please, unless you are on scholarship, do not come and study in the UK. The government in the UK do not like international students and it is virtually impossible to get a job when you graduate.

For me the essence of international education is to gain some international working experience before you return to your home country.

Please go and study in Canada, Australia or New Zealand. I am saying this from experience

Australia is so accommodating that an engineering graduate from the UK is eligible to apply for an 18 month temporary graduate work permit.

jc2xl:
Hi my sweethearts, I just got an offer from Conventry University to do an M.Sc. Please what is the accommodation like?? The accommodation fees I'm seeing online 'no be here ooo'. Please is there a better way I can go around it?? Thank you.

Why not go to another country and study? Why the UK?

TB Joshua, is a fraud. By law of averages if say alot of things one is bound to happen.

Describe the event and time of the event. Then we may take ypu seriously. After 2 years your prophesy came to pass abi?

chukwudi44:
Lolz Saraki giving Tinubu nightmares since 2015!!! I hope the opolo eyes does not die of heart attack on hearing this news!!

To the transgendered NgeneUKWU how market!!

Does this call for celebration or.wailing?

When will corrupt politicians be thrown in jail in this country?

To make it clear I also wish to see Tinubu, Fashola, Amaechi,Gej, Obasanjo, Otedola, Dasuki, Stella Odua, Mbadunuju, Chris Ngige etc in jail and the chief thief Bankole

tobimillar:
In 2019, there would be so much development in Nigeria that Nigerians will beg and cry for buhari to contest.... he won't but he will project fashola and amaechi (being the best ministers who helped in transforming Nigeria) as president and vice or interchangeably

For the sake of our unborn children, I hope you are right

Until an APC politician is probed I will take this anti-corruption war with a pinch of salt.

An example is the confirmation of Fashola even though he was accused of paying 78 million naira for a website.

I agree that there is no politician that is squeaky clean, I also agree that PDP politicians may even be more corrupt, however calling the misappropriation of 78 million naira nothing is the reason why our leaders loot because we will always defend them.

78 million is approximately £285000, now food for thought David Chaytor an MP (equivalent of a senator in Nigeria) was jailed in 2010 in Britain (a country far richer than Nigeria ) for misappropriation of £18000.

I wish you guys living in Nigeria goodluck

Adminisher:
It is instructive that children of hate jumped on and sank their teeth into some N78million website in an attempt to deny Nigerians this man's services.

78 million Naira was obviously a ridiculouslylow amount to be accusing a lagos state governor (over 500bn budget) of but these guys kept at it.

Just anything to drop Fashola to the clueless , corrupt Jonathan level.

Keep defending the indefensible.

Given, I agree that there is no politician that is squeaky clean however calling the misappropriation of 78 million naira nothing is the reason why our leaders loot as they like because folks like you will always defend them.

78 million is approximately £285000, now food for thought David Chaytor an MP (equivalent of a senator in Nigeria) was jailed in 2010 in Britain (a country far richer than Nigeria ) for misappropriation of £18000.

Brother maybe you are amoung the ppl who like ass-lickn, however, no one said you are not entitle to your opinion, Igbo or not.

I am well estabilished business man with sweet, fantastic family, leaving comfortably in Abuja....

Biko, a bu ghi m onye ará!!.....

I am not yet registered with IPOB, but I surport all their moves and pays my tithe to them and call on every wéll meaning Igbo to do same because it the sane thing to do.

Pls dón't mention me again....

I just mentioned you again! Why should Igbos support a man that wants to leads us into a war?

If Biafra is the solution why are southerners as corrupt as their northern brethren?

Use your cafanchan
