Looting and moving the money outside Nigeria is what has been killing Nigeria since 1970

FX and fuel subsidies are fraudulent schemes designed to make fuel and dollars cheap for Nigeria on quote but in essence, a great arbitrage for the powerful and connected for round tripping

Nigeria sha

I wonder if it will ever work

Hello, please does anyone have idea about university of Huddersfield?
Or university of Coventry?

Which is better btw the two in every ramification?

Check rankings.

I like Coventry.. Peaceful, nice place

Advisable to stay in Birmingham though so you can get jobs faster

lionlee216:


Uncle Hustla, how is life in UK oo? When make I come visit u oo

E dey okay. Come visit me for July na abi why you dey quote me

Isn't PR better than going anywhere on a student visa?

Failed policies (Fuel and FX subsidies) are what they have fully brought back.

Lebanon dollar tumble from 1,500 to 15,000 in three weeks because they used their reserves to defend their currency.

This Tinubu's govt is playing with fire.

Not to forget that they're also looting while at it

Phenmeson:
Omo to buy £1 to naira was #1850 this morning. Now e don enter £1= #1650.
To buy & sell sef na risk.
E b say APC & PBAT go soon make £1=#250 ooo 🏃.

He should return it to 700 where he met it

Also, the measures to me are still temporary if they do not fix underlying issues. They can only "defend" the naira for so long

jedisco:


Jokes apart, its a straightforward exam.

Issue is that we manytimes make out to these tests to be what they're not.
I remember a colleague who sat for IELTS a number of times earlier on while we were in 9ja. When I was preparing for my attempt and asked about the exam, he appeared very fascinated about the security and passport checks and cameras in the hall and how 'even your cough is monitored'. In his mind, he simply made the exam to be what it wasn't and didn't surprise me he struggled with it. Aside extenuating factors, if one had a bachelors degree in naija with now masters + time in the UK, a good IELTS score should be a given.

.

Yup, its not that difficult if you know basics.

Had 7.5 on first try and started to glance through materials a night before the exam. Sometimes, its "stage fright" that affects people

I'll give it a go later this year. I dont mind 8 or. 8.5 at all

Lexusgs430:


Hustla...... Come answer question o....... 🤣🙄

Tier4Dependant yes o, it must stay there

When they pay, you can now move

NPFLADMIN:
Honestly, my dad knows a person in this situation.

He earns 1M as salary monthly and also has a side hustle which should be bringing him nothing less than 200k estimate. But the man still wants to leave 4 UK. And getting a job in the UK at the age of around 45+, isn't that almost impossible?


Well, he's still agile. I guess that's an advantage.

Nobody send your age for here

Lexusgs430:


He could have been arrested for something else....... But NEVER £160K (government funds)........

Not unless he organised COS for people, to the tune of £160K (alarm don blow now).......😂

This would really be one inspired by the curses of lots of Nigerian students

Band 8.5, lowest score was writing but that domain has less impact on the CRS score.

Listening, Reading and Speaking have much higher impact than writing and is much easier getting the max band in those. IELTS is a favourable factor comparatively for we who primarily speak English.

That's some Odogwu scores. God when?

If anything happen to am, you go explain tire to police

jedisco:


For now, Canada offers significantly better pay, work-life balance and appreciation for my training and skillset and also pretty straightforward pathway to get in. It's proximity to the U.S is also another factor.

Normal level. Was your Ielts score very high or a decent 7.5/8 is enough?

God bless you. This worked, well. Really well.

Leave all these fancy courses. Study nursing and enter care full time and hammer both pr and mega money

... But not everyone wants nursing



The requirements for nursing Will likely include some prior experience in nursing or isnt that the case?

How did you go about it? I am being charged 66k for an item of 50k

Err, I spoke with one of their reps on Twitter at the time

Hello everyone

Asking on behalf of someone. Can someone study a course like Master of Fraud and Financial Crime or AML and compliance and still get PR after completion of studies?

An example of the course is here https://study.csu.edu.au/courses/master-fraud-financial-crime

Se na solution be this instead of holding leaders accountable?

Suffering and smiling.. Just like our parents did smh

Not hard to prove


Simply take the Pastor to LUTH

BouharryArtikou:
I need help, please.
I am booked to attend passport renewal biometrica at Naija High Commision in London tomorrow.
A. I have heard about postal (Abi money order). Can I buy it from anywhere or must I buy it at the post office near the high commision?

B. Do I need two different self-addressed envelopes for myself and the wife? Or would 1 envelope suffice?

C.
Please. What other things do I need to sort out please? I want to have a good experience.

Please help with nuggets and experiences.

A. Buy at post office near you.. Tell them what you want to use it for and they'll give you the right one (when you get to the NI office, do not listen to those outside who'll try to tell you what you bought isn't the right one. Many are mad...)


B. Should be 2 to the best of my knowledge. Different apps

C. Try to get there early and print all documents they asked you to print on their website (everything you need is written there)
Its a seamless process tbh

jedisco:



The way it works, is that while you are in the federal pool. Provinces skim through the pool offering provisional nominations to candidates they need. Sometimes, folks apply directly to the province for this. A candidate would then need to submit some documents to the province (plus pay a fee) but once the nomination letter is successful, they're pretty much guaranteed to be selected in the federal next draw cos the nomination is worth several hundred points. That candidate on arrival might need to be in that province for a period whereas if it was a direct federal draw (without need for a provisional nomination), such restrictions would not apply.


After applying, I got a nomination from Ontario. Kept it on hold as I felt I had the required scores to get in at the next federal draw.

Thanks Chief

Ill check their thread and see which one I'll fit into

... But you didn't tell us you want to do Japa 2.0 ooo.

NOCs can be edited, no need to delete the profile - FAQ 26 covers this.
Post 2 on page 1 of the EE thread also has the history of draws since 2015.
There have been only 2 STEM draws since CBDs were launched, but multiple Healthcare, Agric and French draws have happened. Healthcare dropped to 422 and French to 336 - a viable plan B for some.

Study the links marked HERE on the first page - very straight forward process.

I'll read up on this

I am asking an honest question ,why is this different from Shamima? They are both citizens,born here. No other ties to other countries.

National security
Terrorism
Left the country willingly to join a movement, known for beheading people etc

vs

Difference clear pass 7Up

jedisco:


Yeah... so I thought. But with the new category based entry draws (which includes STEM), age has much less of an effect on the outcome. Moreso the cutoff for the category based draw is falling round by round (which could change soon as folks become more aware). For those near the cutoff, provinces would usually send then letters inviting them for a nomination which if acceptedand followed through essentially guarantees a PR. With UK experience in IT, one should be able to apply for tech jobs there which would give a work permit.
Considering the time and effort put you have put in and you being certain you'd want to continue in IT, the UK should work out but if it doesn't, it's worth not being boxed into a corner.

I'm above 30 and applied mid-last year- got a provisional nomination within a month (didn't accept it) and was picked up by the next federal draw a month afterwards. A bit of a wait and many docs requested and have now been invited to send my passport in to conclude the process. Overall, it was pretty straightforward.

Alternative could be to apply for a visit visa and get a feel directly- long wait but their visas are valid for the duration of the passport. I.e 10yrs for a 10yr passport validity.

Many thanks for the indepth explanation

Could you share which programmes you got the invitation for? Both the initial one and the one you finally chose

Thanks

jedisco:


Thankfully... Forget all the shenanigans, the UK would chase you when they need you. Na to find those pressure points.

Please do work to the top and avail yourself options even if it means using your two yrs.
Sounds like you're young-ish and the right demography. Options could include Canada, Aus and U.S. The later is handing out PR like water to folks with needed skills. Knew someone working in Amazon her earning £80k ish.. moved to Canada (same Amazon) and was a good difference.

Thanks Chief

I wish I was young-ish . Age kind of affects chances at PR for Canada but yes, I will explore all my options for sure

Lol, I already have a job as a UKVI agent/defender as an esteemed poster labelled me the other day

I see why foreign students want to rejoice at the downturn in universities' finances and catastrophise that the whole economy is at risk of collapse because they banned dependants....however the facts are that many companies in other industries are having a harder time then universities - downsizing, freezing/reducing hiring, offshoring etc- and these are the same companies that foreign students would be seeking employment from when they graduate...

I am not rejoicing at their downfall...the route was due for review along with the care worker one as it was massively abused

My own problem is how they talk down on students as if we came to scrounge without paying fees. They should tell the true story and mention how much students have also contributed to their economy

Its really offensive and downright foolish to me

Zahra29:



We keep hearing about universities but the reality is that a lot of companies are struggling , and particularly those that over expanded in a post COVID boom are now adjusting to a slow down in demand. Universities are not unique in this and will have to downsize/become leaner same as other businesses.

You should consider a career in politics (not an insult o)

I have been waiting for your comment

ehizario2012:


Sometimes it's scary to think that UK economy actually depends this much on proceeds of immigration. Is there a problem with the UK? How sustainable is this delicate equilibrium going forward? I personally don't think a country can survive on immigration proceeds alone though, there has to be a balance. In the midst of this, a committee was set up to review PSW, is this not like Tinubu calling for FDI and still increasing cost bringing in expatriate workers in the same breath? Confusion everywhere

The UK is like that fine, fresh boy/babe in secondary school who was the toast of everyone. He made small money from Yahoo, insulted his peers and even accused them of leeching off him and then voted to seperate from them

He then got older, refused to actually grow up, does not want to change with the times, has no job and is unwilling to get one... and then continues to brag about the good old days at school reunions when his mates have all gotten married and are well to-do ...

To make it even funnier, he is still very arrogant, racist, condescending and rude to those willing to help him ...all while still broke

Earlier in March, more than 120 staff at Sheffield Hallam University were served with “risk of redundancy” letters, which gave them until 18 March to take voluntary redundancy or apply for “a limited number of roles”.
In February, the University of Kent proposed cutting 58 jobs along with nine courses in response to “financial challenges”.
