I'm.going to study offshore and ocean engineering in the UK. please are there any recruiters or headhunters I'm the house?

Let's network

kilokeys: Masters streamlines... it depends on what ur priorities r. career vs being a biz owner.

nursery - 3 years
primary - 6 years
secondary - 6 years
jamb - 2 years
university - 5years
nysc - 1 year

thats 23 years dedicated to being a graduate.. making it 25 . is ur choice.

Wow I've never calculated the amount of time we spent in getting an education. Still recruiters will have the temerity to offer a.graduate 30k per month salary

laoma4u: LIve from Heathrow..... thanks y'all

Na night bus you use?

spikesC: you can, i came with mine and am still using it.
Before i came, i ported to Glo as they were far cheaper. 30Naira per minute to receive calls and send SMS, 100N per minute to make calls. Its free to receive sms

I recharge via gtb internet banking

Brother you be Baale! 100 naira per minute. Nwokem iji too much money.

royal34: please did you submit in ikeja? and if u did wat day?

Yes. Submitted on 9th got my approval email on the 15th and collected today the 19th. All in September 2014

I've collected my passport today, also booked my favourite air maroc. My flight ticket is dedicated to 042 boy spikesC without who I for no know say 77k go fit carry person go obodo mama charley.

3sha4lyf: If yes, you better use it to SMS d person to call you back or you beep the person steadily cos e no get how you wan take explain "I'm coming out now" or meet me in front of xyz" when ur roaming with naija network. Only "hello" sef, na die. But I've heard with Etisalat, if u top up with 5k, u can receive calls free in the UK when u roam ON T-MOBILE Network for one month.

I can't recharge 5k oo. That Na almost £20

spikesC: If someone would pick you up at Heathrow, you better load credit on your phone to call them.
The free wifi at Heathrow didn't work.
There is also charging spots on the building pillars, so you should have your charger close in case your phone is down.

Which phone am I supposed to load? My Nigerian phone?

Use royal air maroc

Oghobahase: i reside in Houston.It is my first time attending and i was just curious on what to expect?

I want to attend, I'm studying subsea engineering in the UK

MedicDee: Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend any flights leaving between Friday and Sunday at the latest. My school has given me my last day of grace as Friday. So I HAVE to be there on Monday. I've tried (from Abuja) Emirates, Arik, Qatar...nothing. The prices are basically my entire life's worth. Anything decently priced economy places please?

Thank you!

Royal air maroc

damochewinner: Well you can choose to call God, God or even refuse to recognise the fact that He is God or sovereign. Your opinion or mindset doesn't change the fact that He is still GOD

Which God? Allah, Amadioha, Sango, Yahwwh?

Let us learn to respect people's freedom of choice!

Justwise I've received the email that my visa has been approved on tuesday. I just want to say a very big thank you for your selfless service.

Otc is offshore technology conference.

It is a yearly event where industry giants gather for exhibition of their products.

Every conference or industry event is good for a job seeker but it depends on your networking ability.

If you need to go always monitor there website to know when registration starts.

The conference is only free for students but as a student you still need to budget for flight tickets and accomodation, unless you reside in Houston.

[quote author=jamela]Thanks this really helps. Do I need to photocopy pages with-visas on my passport booklet too?[/qulote]

No just the bio-data pagr

3sha4lyf: No oh. We ain't insulting Naija. It's just that returns and warranty policy in Naija is solely at the sellers' discretion rather than mandatory. Yes you may get a replacement, but the chances are 1:99. Lol. Just exaggerating but I'm sure u got your replacement after purchase within max 6 months. Or was it longer than that?

Max is 6months for an outright replacement though

jamela: Okay so I'm going to ikeja tomorrow, what kinda questions have they been asking there lately? What date do I need to sign the declaration form? Is it Date of submission online or Date of Appointment? Do u staple the passport photo or use gum? Do u also photocopy visa pages or just Biodata page? So help me God. #teamikeja

Questions

Please confirm your name and date of birth?
What university are you going to?
What is the title of your course?
When is your resumption date?
Why uk?
Why study at your school?
How will this course help your career?

Download self assessment form and print it out,or else you will pay 800 to get the form.

The date you signed the form is what you'll use.

Photocopy passport date page and visa form.

Just go with your passport photo, the staff at vfs will affix it for you.

Good luck

And please don't pay 400 naira for sms alert,it's pure rip off and you'll be sent an email anyway

guttentag: The phone manufacturers will ship the returned phone to Africa and we go call am London Use phone

Why una dey. Like insult naija. I bought a Sony Xperia z at regal buyers it had issues I got a brand new phone in Nigeria

Allenbaba: Thanks to everyone here. I got my approval mail today from Abuja Vfs saying "Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days". God bless you all. Middlesex University oya na!

Are the good samaritan that paid for my photocopy and vfs ikeja?

alizenbohr: Congrats bro.
I just booked Tier 4 appointment @ Ikeja for 24th September (nearest available date).
Your testimony is giving me hope.

Thanks bro. Shout out to justwise spikesC and the people that helped me with this application

I just received my approval email now,applied through ikeja on the 9th of September

6hrs? Jeez but air maroc is just 2 hrs between flights. 9hrs total flight duration and it's 76k

What course do you intend studying?

norway1: ^That is one whole hectic process damn!!

all the same please can we talk or rather chat,

I understand clearly what you talked about -

Thanks its urgent

This is why I love the uk,see process for Austria biko nu

All in all. Piracy is illegal and i don't think any of us will be too happy if people were enjoying our hardwork for free.

It was illegal when you were in Nigeria and it is still illegal in the uk with grave consequences.

nanaba777: Those giving wrong advice on this internet thingy don't give the boys problems in the white man's land oo. Better get an unlimited mobile broadband btw I heard copyright violation ban is being aggressively enforced in the UK oo OR?

Once you get your broadband and use a vpn it's almost impossible for anyone except the CIA and mi5 to monitor the content of your traffic.

justwise: With school network you wouldn't have admin privilege, that will be serious security flaw.

I meant local system administrator not network administrator.

3sha4lyf: I would buy it in UK cos there's nothing as cool as warranty or returns if you change ur mind (eg. If you made a wrong choice and need to exchange it for another.
Of course it may be a little but more pricey but which vendor in Naija changes a phone for a brand new one if the phone malfunctions within 9-15 months of use?
Just my thoughts.

Dem plenty,I've changed my Nokia and Sony before both after 3months or more

3sha4lyf: Oh really? I was certain there's a way you can tether network from a pc but seems they blocked it cos ppl could hardly feed their wireless devices with it, at least I dunno of any1 who did. Seems you'll gimme some lessons in this. .
Now I'm regretting why I refused to major in computer science things

I don't know if it's fishy though

But open command prompt with administrator privilege and type

netsh set hostednetwork mode=allow said=networkname key=password keyusage=persistent

Netsh start hostednetwork

And you are good to go,you can replace the networkname and passport with any variable of choice

HudsonBanks: Yesso my Don I dey chop data like crase I'll probably try to see if I can use a paid VPN service to cloak my data content and do all my usual data grabbing with Uni broadband else I go with a mobile data alternative. My issue with giffgaff, Lyca & their likes is that T-mo users calling me on one of those networks I've mentioned will be charged outside their usual UK minutes meaning say people go dey think twice before calling me, and almost all my relatives in the UK are on T-mo so you see am.

When you cloak your device with a paid vpn,your downloads wil go through but your computer will be generating unusual traffic,this will flag your device and result in an investigation. When they check your device, it'll have copyright violation written all over it

Avoid torrenting with school Internet by all means

Nairaland is going haywire! 2comments per page?

Bambamzzzz: Hey my people,just got to uk this morning and @ HudsonBanks iberia airline na real molue oh,imagine no entertainment for 5 hours flight to madrid and they were selling breakfast early this morning from madrid to london chai but i thank GOD still as i don land

I remember I told you about royal air maroc. Lol. Welcome mam
