But that does not grantee you a good job.that's why canada visa is so difficult to get.and australia work permit is not automatic you must have studied a two years course masters and most masters is either 1yr or 1.5years,must be working in a related field to what you studied its not a straight forward thing.
Most engineering msc in Australia is two years

I wonder where you got the data to determine the ratio grin
Now you're vouching for other countries as if you have first hand experience.
I believe everyone's path can never be the same. Some come fully prepared and made a lot of plans. Others, well, you know cool
In Canada at least you get automatic work permit which makes getting a job easy. I have not gotten a job yet but I have 2 interviews pending after assessment centre.

I consider this impressive given that I am studying a specialised oil and gas course, so don't make it sound like I am bitter or anything.

The possibilities are extremely difficult in the UK giving the stringent work visa requirements for international students.

Says who? lols,please don't believe all those ones that say canada is bed of rose or australia.you won't get automatic job like that.Even germany that people are running to its still the same thing.I know people who were born in all these develop countries and they had to leave because they could not get job.
Its about your packaging,your skill,experience other things play along.don't decieve yourself smiley.sorry I jumped into your discussion
Once you are done in Canada and Australia you get work permit. It makes a lot of difference.

Congratulations man.

GeneralShepherd, you see, It pays off for some people.
Stop trying to discourage others with irrelevances cool
I never said it doesn't work at all,however the ratio is too small. It is unarguable that the immigration policy is other countries are better than UK's

patriciaugono:
The reality is hundreds of people apply but very few have the requirements set out hence why we have to re-advertise.

It can be a tedious process but we have recently found a very good engineer for our Abuja region so the process does yield benefits.
In as much as I understand the need for experience, there are the so called inexperienced engineers with solid grasp of electrical engineering.

These are young minds that don't want to install solar panels but increase efficiency of panels and actually engineer panels.

Well, you are the HR professional not me.

My point is keep your options open.

grin grin grin you are not smiling with the UK these days. We need to balance it...if you are coming to the UK to hustle through student visa then forget it because the chances of make it now is slimmer than ever. But you are coming purely to study and leave then the UK is a place for you.

Australia is not even the answer because the UK modelled her immigration policy from Australia, Canada is changing theirs faster as well.
Lol..na true naa Australia still gives straight two years of post study visa...UK no be am for self-sponsored international students.

I'm a proud nd active member of ds forum, I have gotten quite a number of infos buh I'm still in dilemma of my chances of completing my fees myself. I got admission in Sheffield hallam university nd I have paid 1500 pound. my question is what my chances of survival nd completing d fees if I manage to secure Visa?
DO NOT TRY IT! first you can never make enough money legally to complete your school fees, you will suffer for one year and probably not get a job if you manage to finish.

try more progressive countries, forget the UK. I came here with enough money to survive so its not because I am suffering or anything, I am just saving you from heartache

Okay Guys, Good Evening.... Hope y'all had an amazing weekend? I'm trying to get off-campus accomodation in Sunderland. I have been quite unlucky because I havent gotten anything on the internet. And checking up the Nigerian Student Society in Uni of Sunderland on Facebook, they haven posted anything there since 2012 & 2014 huh huh embarassed embarassed Please who knows the North-East well and can help?
My advice?Unless you are on scholarship, it is never too late to cancel coming to the UK. Cancel your admission apply to Canada, USA, New Zealand or Australia. You will thank me later for this advice.

Can a yoruba man vie for governorship post in Anambara? Or wouldn't you mind if a yoruba man be the obi of onitsha?

You ibos have taunted your host and alerted them to your cunning agendas...
Prepare to Bear the consequences.
A Yoruba should have the right to be the governor of Anambra State, it is his constitutionally guaranteed right.

As for the Obi of Onitsha, it is not a government post and that post cannot be contested even by an Obosi man. Are Igbos contesting for the Oba of Lagos?

My friend think like an enlightened fellow
Christianity EtcRe: Conquering Marine Spirits. by GeneralShepherd(m): 1:21am On Apr 12, 2015
What is wrong with you religious folks? so you honestly believe that there is something like marine spirit?

Marine spirit developed technologies, yet Africa is still very much behind the rest of the world in technology advancement. Given the number of alleged marine spirit possessed people we have in Nigeria , I thought by now we should have been making scientific breakthroughs.

A black man usually attributes what he doesn't understand to spiritual powers!!

Like I said to your fellow dumb tribalist


Arnold Schwarzenegger that became a governor in America was not originally American.

Barrack Obama was not originally an American.

Many British Ministers were not originally British, an example is Chuka Umunna!

We are just talking about Igbos in Lagos contesting for democratic roles, what of when a Ghanian living in Nigeria tries to do same.

Africans are too fvcking backwards. gosh

You made a lot of sense but not wholely. Igbo leaders have started medling into Lagos politics. They have complained of marginalization and exclusion from Lagos governance severally before this election even though they had an Igbo commissioner in Lagos.

Several Igbo people work with Lagos state government and I hope you know there are Igbo honourables now in Lagos. So jettison the notion that they aint competing for power in Lagos. Those honourables contested in Lagos not Onitsha.

Hausas are also in there millions in Lagos but they take whatever role they are given and would not ask for more or dare their host in this regard. I have read it online times without number where Igbos said they will rule Lagos one day. All these make the Igbos appear as nuissance and threat to the Yoruba kingdom of Lagos.

I love the Igbos and I hope they will understand and desist from asking for too much.

I don't think that all Hebrew are Jews there is like 40 million Igbo not all of them can be hebrew I think only those that are from Anambra state are Hebrews, because Eri did not father the Igbo people he mixed in with them and settled in AnAmbra state.

Owk so after the rejuvenation of our health care system, nigerians in diaspora will leave their country of residence and fly back to nigeria weneva they fall sick abi?...

The main issue here is how to stop the marginalization of nigerians living abroad. because they should have equal access to health care in any country they reside in
When some Nigerians have been told not to vote in Lagos? Let us first stop marginalising each other in Nigeria first before we demand same in foreign countries.

plaetton:
The truth is that hate s usually grounded on fear, insecurity and low self-esteem.

A person who is secure and self - assured need not hate Anyone on the basis religion, tribe or social status.
Religious extremism, for example, arises from deep feelings of insecurity and emptiness for the very beliefs upon which the individual builds his/her worldview. When the worldview is threatened via cognitive dissonance, the person lashes out another different from him/her as scapegoats.

As for the Oba and others like him, I remind and quote to them that
" There is no nobility in thinking that you are better than another human being. True nobility lies in being better than you were yesterday ".

If this report is true, and a big 'IF', then I condemn America's meddlesomeness with the strongest possible terms.

I am yet to see the benefit of being allies with USA, we are subjected to all sorts of derision when we seek to visit USA, our environment has been greatly polluted by American oil companies and America abandoned us in our war against terror.GEJ asked you to sell weapons to him , you refused, he bought weapons from Russia you remove him.

My plead to General Buhari is to invest in the future of Nigeria-Let us build our own weapons, cars, planes etc. We have the manpower and the intellect to transform Nigeria. Neither America,UK nor Russia has our best interest at heart, we are just pawns in their game of 'power' chess
