I have seen so many people declaring interest in tech.
I wish we had a small hub where new tech enthusiast with UK in mind can come together and share tips, career path etc.
Honestly i have been underestimating my small frontend skill till i searched on indeed and saw how much pay i can get. .
On this note i have sent you a PM .
we can have a group of 5 -10 like minded individual with an existing knowledge of ICT.
We would appreciate all senior members who are already working in the tech to help us with one or two guidelines

IamE:
I should be in the UK by January and have been trying to brush myself up on my IT skills.
Since the day twitter was banned, i have been tweeting from the comfort of my home in Nigeria.
Launch your Twitter app, go to settings then proxy.
Fill the proxy and port just as in the image i sent and you will be back online. .

Thank me later

For those looking to break into tech, you could follow teneika askew on twitter, she provides insight on the different pathways you can follow, and how each aligns with your skillset and personal attributes. It might not be mentorship but it sure is something.

Aphrodite007:
Cc captainhoo if you’re both women you can follow Barbara Wallington on LinkedIn. DM her and let her know.

FalseProphet1:
I see Mr ajetumobi getting arrested, I see him mentioning big names that aided him in his scam, I see more prominent people going down with him.

This I have seen.

oluayebenz:
Research indeed

captainhoo:
Okay. I'm interested in the IT career change. I will appreciate a mentor /advisor that can explicitly explain/advise on the different ways to kickstart and guide alongside. Thanks

Munamoqel:

niyogeol:

Munamoqel:

ednut1:
why not try usa, canada, japan or other scandanavia countries. Look on linkedn too to check how former international students in the school are faring.

EngrSaks:
For some reason I used to mix up dupyshoo for dustydee..
I'm Guessing that's why alot of us thought dustydee was female...

ritzzybaron:
So those that get funded scholarships will come back to naija after their studies? Interesting

amanze54:
Just like you, I was busy asking, re-asking early this year about coming here.
But men I am here now, met fellow Nigerians here who don't know nairaland self, I hear their own version of life.
I can adjure that health sector is the weath here. Even my fellow IT student are working as careworker and jostling to get the NHS care work And it is the sector that most willing to sponsor.
I conclude the best bet is to come as couple cos the white chicks has zero attention for us, I see it every day. Then do not look at the Nigerian lady with paper cos the guys who got in with them here feel like a prisoner in Nigeria.
It just not an easy life. But in all you just have to experience it yourself to make your own assessment.

dettolgel:
House please I need advice and suggestions.

A friend of mine her small bro graduated with 3rd class mech engineering. They are trying to get him admitted to the UK. The agent they got got admission for him the tuition is 15k pounds (18 months program).

But my friend is trying to see if she could get him a msc program for 10k pounds with his grade?

Please if possible which schools can she ask the little bro to apply for for Jan intake?

Thanks

Fiestafetta:
You people should be careful o, poland people are now scamming Nigerians o even with the schools over there work in hand with their embassy. A lot of people that pay for school fees couldn't get appointment with embassy and the schools refused to refund nor allow them to defer the admission... They have been casted

Aphrodite007:
they sponsor for the right candidate. Just score high enough for them to want you. Also it’s DS, they aren’t many that want to work for the CS so they sponsor DS and DEngr like mad.

kaffy055:

justwise:
Use court affidavit

Star19:
I did mine for #7,500 in port harcourt. You can you use google to check the location of Population Census office in Lagos or ask people around you that might know their office. it should not be hard to locate

jtech17:
man I'm in this shit oo... date and month of my D.O.B was switched on the WAEC certificate only the year is the same. How can I locate the population census office in LAGOS and how much does it cost to get it

Star19:
Maybe you can attach an attestation letter from population census stating your correct age and submit to ukvi when applying. The attestation serves as a birth certificate for you.
It took two days for me to do an attestation.

Try asking more people or even the school you applied to for proper guidance.
Most schools usually don’t grant unconditional admission till this is sorted because they know it will be a problem if you apply to ukvi without sorting it out with them first.

LagosismyHome:
My ILR days is over 10 years ago so I really don't know.... this your absence was it short or long time. If it short time and you were on holiday, I would say a letter from you should be OK but I have to check google

MrsJoycey1:
Na wa, in my haste to meet up deadlines I transacted o..

He met the wrong person....Not to worry, he'll definitely pay back my HARD EARNED CASH..

TheGuyFromHR:
Oga.
No give yourself high BP such that you will end up using your IHS by force and tying up scarce NHS resources this winter.
There is no magic bullet for getting a sponsored job, you sound like you've read/explored everything there is on this topic, so apart from applying as much and as widely as you can, there isn't really much else to do.

If you believe in God (or a god), offer up prayers (or sacrifices). Stop stressing over this issue. Work hard, study hard, do your best to get a good result, and have fun too. Look around, try befriending one of the(non-fat if you like) girls around you. (They may have expectations of your prowess based on your being black again, stay safe and protect the NHS).

We know the UK is a Plan B for many people this year - also have a Plan B to this Plan B as well, involving exploring other locations too.

Do your best, and leave the rest.

i knew someone who got a sponsorship in the renewable sector last year..

mrcodebreaker:
This is why studying engineering in the uk sucks.
Renewable has not created as much jobs and the UK is not an ideal destination for manufacturing companies due to brexit. The UK is better ideally for IT (good chance of sponsorship with experience after school I ‘think’) and Finance (sponsorship with prayer and fasting). Fields like civil engineering and construction are good because I believe their is an infrastructure boom. For Electrical, mechanical etc I am no too sure. Ask your friends that came here if they got jobs, check linkedin and see that if someone did this course did he get a job afterwards etc. by the time you have seen people’s linkedin profiles you can judge and see if they are doing well or not after a certain course.

Clarine:
My people, people they check accounts at point of entry be wise to. They just released my brother and wife after 7 interviews and detained for over 12 hours. Be wise. Especially couple. No jokes oo. I was devastated .just are since that. Good thing my mum stood her ground and stood as their guarantor. Prepare to.

One for the DJ, one for the hypeman & one for the scammer......

mrcodebreaker:
Saturated market. Rigorous interview process. Its survival of the fittest. Companies want to only hire data scientist with experience these days as they don’t have patience. Unless you want to use graduate route which is still competitive.

Lexusgs430:
It's called school fees....... Once you pay it once, you never want to pay it again........

mrcodebreaker:
Go learn python, spark, devops etc. plenty guys from engineering are in IT. So go for an IT course.
