Atlantis85: Thank you @justwise.
The email is a direct reply to my mail requesting for the extension so I should print the complete thread, yea? Here's what I initially sent:

"I hereby request for an extension of resumption for purpose of my Tier 4 Visa application.

Visa application processing time in Nigeria takes approximately 21 days hence, I would like to have resumption date extended by one (1) week from the official school resumption. This is because I won't be able to send in my application till 4th September 2012 as a result of the requisite 28-day waiting period for maintenance fee which won't be due until 3rd September 2012.

Thank you"

wowo2: Honestly, I find it difficult to believe that students without stay are in a UK school.

Are they obtaining degrees in another person's name - using ori-olori - or their visas have expired?

It is difficult to believe the former; and in case of the latter, i would think the school would have been communicating them and threatening withdrawal of access to the school facilities etc.

I don't understand and will appreciate if someone in the house can explain...

Long One: Well, fair enough, but it still does not justify their decision.

UKBA could have suspended the university licence without banning them from teaching current students – you don’t throw out the baby with the bath water. If these students abscond or resort to crime, they will have a bigger issue on their hands.

Ishilove: I am stalking you, that's what... So go ahead and start making preparations

And I'll be travelling very soon so I'm trying to famiiliarise myself with this section.

Long One: As usual, the UKBA have gone guns blazing on foreign students in a bid to curb immigration, without properly thinking about the consequences of their action.

What they should have done is to prevent new students coming in, and given the university a period to let current students pass through. This way, they would not have panicked students who are uncertain of the future, apart from the stress of living in a foreign land.

With the unnecessary chaos they have created, I honestly wonder what happened to the brains England had in those good old days. Now, it seems to be a bunch of disgruntled legislators, nit picking on foreign students and foreigners in general.

Atlantis85: Hello everyone, hope y'all have have had a nice week?

Sent a mail to my uni requesting for extension by one week. Here's the reply I got:
"Dear X,

Thank you for your email.

The enrolment commences on 24th September and classes start on 1st October so it is important that you enrol on the 1st October or a few days later the latest.

The UKBA are aware some of the students will be arriving late.

I will also inform the school."

Is this okay? Or should I call to specifically request for a letter to take to the embassy?

Thanks

salsera: Gd list,

Onlu thing is yam in the Uk doesn't do so well when the weather less humid
Then watch the quantity of dryfish you bring same goes for stockfish. Ziploc bags and placing some coffee in the bag can mask snell.
Pack indomie cos its expensive here though poundo yam n gari are alright.
I also took crayfish and ugu(make sure its dry before you wrap it up)
Okro dey plenty
In general the availability.and cost of african foods depends on where you live.
The closer to london the cheaper it is so its not uncommon for people to commute.

Atlantis85: In reply to what kind of foodstuff can be taken when going to resume, I'd suggest the following:
Yam,
unripe platain (you can wrap it up when u get to uk till it ripes)
Crayfish, dried fish, dried pomo, blended egusi, ogbono, maggi (make sure you wrap them tightly in clingfilm, ensuring the film goes round several times)
Indomie
Beans
I didn't take garri but I know its allowed. Didn't even bother considering yam flour as its too powdery, lest I get delayed at immigration.
Palm oil was frozen but the lady at immigration asked me to drop it. U could take it tho, u might get lucky.
If you wna make amala or eba nd the likes, don't forget turning stick nd the wide spoon for scooping :d
Oh yea, I bought plÀntain chips too. Red oaks is nice .
If I think of anything else, I'll add.
When you get there peckham is good for african food stuff. Dalston too.

valentino81: @ justwise;
Bro no be so! I undstAnd ur plight. Buh pls let's show to some extent sense of humour in attending or replying to issues.
All shall be well, we should try and avoid annoying statements.
Masef prefer issues like dis to be discussed outside the thread.
Fnks for ur opinion.
@ bAkorede; we talk inbox!

dappy daniel: Housemates,
What can you say about UK Border Agency’s (UKBA) action against London Met University?

Bakorede: @justwise,nt deliberating discusing dis issue but it stems 4rm d fact dat i need a good platform and condition b4 i reply at d embassy.atleast wat brought abt d discsion is dat i feel it wil b beta if i'm able to sponsor myself.so wat brought abt d discsion is d travel issue.u shuld understand dat some of d members of NL who are study applicants at d CAN embassy may av what it takes to sponsor themselves but cudn't thnk or how 2 start and i believe other members dat are reading 2ru d thread may av 1 or 2 thins 2 learn and dis may encourage them in floating their own buzz and dis will definately give them opportunity of sponsoring themselves and their relatives.there4,it's never a deliberate attempt to digress to business stuff on dis thread!

zacky006: @justwise, yeah you are right but i couldn't get it unzip it is giving me invalid, plz anyway out?

valentino81: I will suggest you use either BAKOREDE. Invstmnts Ltd or any of the three. They r on d same class. But investments does it all. Many pple out there will even see it more formalised dn ventures and Entrp. Cos wif ur intentions; u are a potential investor. Use investmnt bro.
I do check on d forum every hour, just dt if I don't av questions or any contribtn, I don't type.

Have a nice day N'landers.
All our xpectations shall be positively answered! Amen.

Bakorede: u've nt been around since d last tym u help me on my coy registration stuff.just want 2 say thanks 4ur kindness and advice.and again i want 2 ask should i put ltd in dat head line as in-BAKOREDE INVESTMENTS LTD/BAKOREDE VENTURES LTD/BAKOREDE ENTERPRISES LTD.or shudn't i put ltd at all.please i cudn't retrif ur phone digit u sent me.kindly mail it

obadiah777: I guess you have to take my word for it. i dont know you and you dont know me so i am not trying to impress you. the point in showing my passport is to debunk your ' i got deported crap'. yes i was sent back to nigeria by my parents to get some african manners and african discipline through african boarding school. FGCL to be exact. and then a lil time in uni.

timmy1999: Just...u r really stepping on my toes.

imperiouxx: Seeing this thread late. Justwise is the best! Filtering scammers and ugly posts from each thread. I wonder how he manage doing all that on daily basis.

Ishilove: Hmmm,Justwise!! So this is why you have been trying to reconcile with me? This is the surprise you had planned for me?? I am so touched

No need to ask, YES I will go with you!

salsera: @justwise
all these schools outside london kai - accomodation cheap o!

You dont wanna know how much it is in london
student accomodation studio flat -- 800-1000pounds incl bills (rooms are like cubicles oh)
student accomodation shared --- 600 incl bills
Private accomodation for shared flats 450-550 incl

And I cant do shared accomodation.....
Getting a 1bed flat outside london now. God dey

obadiah777: had to leave the country in the middle of it because of family problems not because of the education. the education was the best. first off if you have to prove yourself by writing essays on every exam, you will be a lot smarter with more critical thinking skills. all the universities i attended in america and britain ? the lecturers are too lazy to be bothered to score essays so everything is in multiple choice questions. i found myself missing those essay writing tests and exams so i can prove myself and show my knowledge. all in all ? i had my best education in nigeria. dunno what the state of the education is there now but when i was there ? i absolutely loved it and those are the best years of my life up till now. i pine for those years again. wish i can bring back those years. plus the friendship you make in nigerian universities is brotherly and sisterly. out here you cant really fraternize too well because of racial differences. chances are you are being tolerated alot and as such you will never make close friendships. plus there are hardly campus accomodations. you have to rent out of campus and as such you dont get a cohesive community feel to the whole thing. all in all, its all hype and no substance.

obadiah777: i was actually born in england as are all my siblings. you cant deport a man from where he was born.

untainted: Yeah, I agree. Justwise is doing a wonderful job both on NL and off NL.
He has been very helpful to me off NL on a number of occasions.
You are appreciated Justwise

obadiah777: finally. a sentence with no mistakes congrats. justdumb has been promoted to justwise

obadiah777: did you even attend any school ? the way you construct sentences is appalling and akin to a cretin. it is 'this rambling is out of the ordinary'

obadiah777: yeah i can tell you are an illiterate, seeing as our writing speaks for us

obadiah777: bruh i dont know if you are an atheist. and if you are, then you are a big fool. however if you are not an atheist and you read the bible very well, first of all we are not black. [/b]we are brown. [b]secondly we are not africans. africanus is a white mans name. leo scipio africanus named the continent africa after he conquered it. prior to that it was called ' lower and upper ethiopia and prior to that it was called the land of ham. so we are not black and neither are we africans. [b]we are the real israelites [/b]that the bible speaks of and we are under the deuteronomy 28 curses.

obadiah777: and from what you just wrote i can see that you no education, foreign or local has helped you. [b]you think you can source a mans achievements and character via text in cyberspace ? [/b]shows how intelligence challenged you are.

obadiah777: i dont see anything contradictory in that. again you display lack of critical thinking. just because the buka environment looks rundown does not mean the food will not be sweet. if you are there for the food, you will love it. if you are more focused on the decor, then maybe you will not like it. however some of us choose to focus on the food as opposed to the decor.

obadiah777: See you lack critical thinking. i outrightly admitted that the nigerian universities are not run well. and i said thats the problem. the fact that a black man was in charge. so why regurgitate what i accepted and admitted to in a question ? however in terms of substance and course content, nigerian universities are better.
