You lack wisdom

they take from everyone one of us .... but we knew the system and pain even before leaving Nigeria

Entitlement is entitlement....

you don't buy coke and complain it is coke you tasted in the bottle.... was it going to be sprite?

Also, i don't think this is true in all honesty... it will always be relative

In America for example, you're one illness away from huge debt... i'm not talking small debt.. huge debt

Every country with its pros and cons....

True

profemebee:
so entitled

Well, I can't blame him for wanting something at least. The UK takes a lot from students and rarely gives much in return

lavida001:
All i'm saying his we should be entitle to public funds. Maybe not during 1 year of study but as soon as you on graduate visa you should have the right.

LOL

F*ck No. Entitled to public funds for why naw

You don dey climb tree pass leaf o

Which public funds even dey available to you for where you dey come from?

Viruses:
It's not easy to determine who will marry you or make you his/her legal partner but you can get pregnant for any random guy and keep the child.

May God help the person Sha

Zahra29:
Once an individual becomes an overstayer, it is virtually impossible to regularise via the marriage route. The only open route now is human rights via a British/settled child or via private life.

The human rights route is typically a 10 year route from the date of regularisation to ILR.

Go with Portugal or Malta digital nomad visa. It's better than coming to UK

Wish I knew about it earlier, thats what i would have done

004gist:
Sorry to cut in.
10k pounds is like 90% fees in some cheep schools. Let him look for school with 12k fees or even 11k fees.

Then he should save more for house rent and feeding - - - like 8k pounds.

omo, its a lot of money,either ways

TugOfWar:
Good morning nairalanders, my elder brother has been complaining of tooth ache (molar tooth) since 10 years ago.
He has tried all medical and herbal ways to cure it but to no avail.
The ache will go today and will double while coming back.
There happens to be a small hole in the affected tooth.
The ache comes with a serious pain they will make him restless for days.

I am suggesting a tooth removal for him
Pls how much does it cost to remove and replace a tooth in Nigeria now
I need urgent answers pls.

Maybe 45K

Last time I did it was around 2020/2021, HMO paid but was told thats around the cost

I did some teeth cleaning and all though

Viruses:
Let her give birth, after 7 yrs she can use the child to regularize her stay.

Go the LGBTQ route and have the community protect you. Yes they can. Infact if you know the loopholes, you will get ILR before you say jack.

If she gives birth, why not just give birth for someone who's a citizen and have him apply for her? Or it doesnt work that way?

UnconventionalT:
A friend of mine is currently overstaying her visa after she was unfortunate to get a COS. It's been 6 months of trying to stay low key as possible as she can. No Facebook presence as such, linkedl is deleted, avoid police wahala etc. Is there a way she can legalize her stay? Coming to Nigeria isn't an option for her, breadwinner of the family

Maybe marriage or someone that's on COS to do join man with

briliantsak:
I am aware of Universities that even withdraw offers from new staff that are yet to resume late last year and early this year.

Fingers crossed.

I still think it's just shooting your nose to spite your face. When numbers plummet and shortages start again, another round of moaning and complaints will start (it already has but will worse by September)

Will be interesting

briliantsak:
The media houses do not make the information explicit because it 'does not suit' their narration.

It was recently when Government wanted to raise £1 billion from visa and IHS fee that some even got to know immigrants pay for NHS too.

Mehn, lots of them are unbelievably ignorant (can't blame them).

Some of them even think students are on benefits and our govs pay us to study, one even told me we should stop taking their benefits and was surprised I have never collected £1 in benefits before (them ESA, PIP etc). Hell, in 2 years, I have only ever visited the GP for registration, never booked an appointment or anything.

I have spoken with some people who stare in disbelief when you outline what students pay to come to the UK

I wish their media houses would actually englighten them instead of writing yeye sensational news upandan

tunechi28:
Good day, folks,

This place has been gloomy and now I am reconsidering my options.

Here is my dilemma: I have a remote contractor job that pays me $2000 per month and doesn't care about my location. I've been able to save up to $10,000. Do you think this is enough to sustain myself in the UK and pay my fees?

Why not save a bit more, like 70% of your fees before moving

Also, look at Portugal, US, Australia and Canada if you don't mind the cold. Much better options at the moment

Bro Tinubu , why are you this dull?

Doing everything except fixing the issues. Busy doing nothing

Thanks so much

Good morning to my people in the UK, please I have a genuine question ejor. I have combed the thread but I didn't see a particular information on it. Please how do I get a job as a biochemist from Nigeria. I see a lot of Job vacancies on Indeed but I don't know which ones will give COS or should I just keep applying?
And what trainings do I need to do to be able to secure one. Thank you.

You can check the name of the company before applying. The sponsorship list is available online or this website -

lavida001:
This is a skit right ?

Insensitive but Nope.

Goodenoch:
Yet the country they built is the same one people from Nigeria are literally dying to get to daily.

So, what's the correlation ehn

CannyDoll:
Hello house, I am very desperate at the moment to the point that I am resolving to this, pls if anyone knows how I can get a loan public/private which ever to offset my tuition pls let me know, I am on the verge of being deregistered from school, the exchange rate has affected me badly I have tried all means possible but can't pool funds from home at the moment. Pls help a sister, you can DM me pls 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

How much do you have left?

Do you have a CC? I know people withdraw off the CC and pay their fees with it (not financial advice)

Zahra29:
Then people would complain that the home office is splitting families ,discriminating against young families etc

You can't please everyone unless they throw open the borders and let everyone in, and even then the immigrants would complain that everywhere is so congested, London is worse than Lagos, no school or hospital places etc lol

Splitting families is better than allowing 0 families

Zahra29:
The dependant ban will not be lifted anytime soon. More prestigious/higher ranked universities might be influential enough to lobby some type of exemption, but the average to lower ranked universities will have to find alternative ways to attract international students without their dependants, because for every pound an international student might contribute, the state has estimated that 80% of dependants do not work and are a net beneficiary of the state.

Sensible thing would have been age and number restriction on dependents, not outright ban

jedisco:
It'd take a while for whatever is going on in that sector to settle. This is an election year and the anti-imigrant narrative is the lowest hanging fruit for the Tories and they've thrown everything at it. They should see the tightening through to the election at least.

OTOH, the universities are strong at lobbying and would push thru facts moreso with their cash cow (i.e international students) being muzzled while fees for local students have been capped since 2016. Interestingly 'international students account for one in every five pounds in income received by UK universities'.

I'll wait till July and see what they'll do.. And maybe some more figures will be available

briliantsak:
Interesting read!

"A single year’s intake of international students in 2021/22 generated nearly £42bn for the UK economy"

"Only 3% of the public have any idea of the scale of that contribution."

Their public sabi anything other than to complain and moan and bar hop?

Abeg we don hear

Goodenoch:
Lol. Be deceiving yourself. The same people who when they come into Nigeria even as ordinary people (not givernment reps like Kemi) get huge crowds following them around and governors and in AJ’s case even the president hosting them?

They wanted the Nigerian association abi wetin them dey find come Nigeria?

100s of British born "Nigerian" footballers play in England, only the ones who want to be associated with Nigeria associate with Nigeria and get the love back. It's a simple concept

Literally quoting what the judge said

ReesheesuKnack:
Same way Nigeria lays claims to Kemi Adeosun, Kemi Badenoch, Anthony Joshua, Tammy Abraham, Bukayo Saka, Fikayo Tomori, John Boyega, etc…

They wanted the association

Can assure you no Nigerian thinks about them like that
