I wasn't talking to you.
I told you already you don't argue sensibly[b] '''atimes''.[/b] It appears to me you may be part of the site team only interested in trading semantics in order to increase your adsense impression and monthly adsense revenue instead of arguing reasonably.

obadiah777: some of these folks have a virulent form of self hatred that cant be cured. i see their types all the time. this is how their life is

1-they hate everything naija with a passion for some weird unexplained reason

2-they manage to get a visa to the UK.

3-after 10 years in the UK of schooling, not getting work, discrimination, second class citizenry, managing to get work, paying all their wages in taxes and MOT and road tax and council tax and tv license and rent and internet bill and tickets and congestion charge and water rate and gas and light etc etc etc. and they are busting their azz for £10-£20 an hour. after 10 years of slavery and second class citizenry and nothing to show for it then they start thinking back to how naija was not so bad. how naija was sweet. how they didnt pay any bills and outrightly owned their own homes with no mortgage or council tax or road tax etc etc

4-depression kicks in

5-they start dreaming of returning home

LOL IT NEVER FAILS. THIS IS THE PROGRESSION OF THEIR LIVES. AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF THE ONES WHO GO TO THE UK

obadiah777: the problem with nigerian universities is that it is run by black people. thats the only problem as far as i am concerned. black people are under curse ( the deuteronomy curses ) as such nothing we do will be prosperous ( till our penance is up ). as such any place run by a black man will not run smooth. i give you that point. white universities are run better because this is the era of the gentiles ( any gentile nation will have beautifully run universities, even somalia and ethiopia will have better universities than us because they are cushites. ). however when it comes to the substance, nigerian universities are better. this is why nigerian graduates go to uk and american universities and become the best students. because the content of our courses and the sheer volume makes you smart and more cognitive. nigerians who study in nigerian universities are the best all over the world when getting second degrees or masters. that is a testament to the nigerian universities content of courses. and these same nigerian men will excel in their field if they work abroad because the white man is a robot and if you cant keep up with him he will fire your azz straight. as such you are dancing to his tune on his job and as such you are forced to excel. HOWEVER ALL THESE NIGERIANS WITH THE SO CALLED DEGREES FROM EUROPE AND AMERICA WHEN THEY RETURN BACK TO NIGERIA, THEY BECOME VERY UNPRODUCTIVE AND CANT THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND ARE ALL LOOKING TO WORK IN NIGERIAN BANKS ETC ETC WHERE THEY CAN PUSH PAPER AND BECOME UNPRODUCTIVE. DO YOU SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS ? DEGREES FROM ABROAD DO NOT HELP A BLACK MAN AT ALL IF THE MAN DECIDES TO RETURN TO NIGERIA. ALL A DEGREE FROM ABROAD DOES IS GET YOU INTO AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU WILL BECOME AN UNPRODUCTIVE BEAUROCRAT IN SOME NIGERIAN COMPANY. which brings us back to the point ....what was the purpose of it again ? naija universities as far as i am concerned are not run well but in terms of content, they are better than any university in the world. now picture this, if they can get a white man to run the nigerian universities but keep the lecturers and the course content ? EPIC. WOULD BE THE BEST THING SINCE SLICE BREAD

kmariko: But why study in a 6 or 7th rate environment instead of first to third.[b][/b] I know alot of people hold unto nostalgia- parents went to english school and so on. That was then and this is now. What has come out of Britain that is REAllY life changing since 1945 beside instigating wars.

mrrock: @TimAllen.
Yes, you're right!.
It's called neo-colonialism. Unfortunately, most Africans remains in mental slavery and will quickly see the U.S move as a blessing not knowing the U.S is only taking advantage of us.

Dharkchild: My friend did. He said he wrote a check and they confirmed receipt. But they said something like its gonna be with insurance or so. I believe I would like the place tho would find out by September 12th.

obadiah777: you will tell me things that are not nice because i said the education i got from nigeria is the best ? dang some of you are so far gone with this self hatred. i started to study medicine in nigeria and the labs were fully equipped, was like 5 people to a cadaver, the lecturers were great and knew their stuff, the textbooks were great... etc etc etc. 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.

Dharkchild: Aiight bro. PS don't make any payment or sign a contract till you have seen the property yourself. I learnt that from here.

I took a risk by making a deposit of 200 pounds(50k) to secure the accommodation I wanted based on a friends recommendation, but if eventually I do not like the apartment then I have to forfeit my money. That's not the kind of risk I would want to take another time, but we keep learning

I would send you some website where you could search for apartment and arrange for viewing when you get to Sheffield. I would also try to view done apartment when I get there, but remember taste differs and no contracts or financial commitment except you are willing to bear the consequences if any

Dharkchild: didn't think of this, thanks for pointing it out. Those going for private accommodation pls take note. I also learnt it is better to take accommodation with bills inclusive rather than paying bills every month.

TimAllen: No they didn't use force. They only took advantage of a poor nation's problems..

Dharkchild: Ooh, thanks Alot. Noted

queensmith: I will agree university ranking is political but it is absolutely absurd to insinuate you will find anybody at Oxford one can consider 'dumb' that is a 'dumb' statement in itself. Oxbridge are possibly the only universities in the UK where the students are rigorously tested, interviewed, assessed, all sorts, there is no way to cheat, lie or scandal yourself through entry is purely based on academic merit. Even with the newly set up programmes to widen participation from poorer schools/backgrounds, oxbridge students/graduates remain top of the range. Damn even their lectures are not to be reckoned with! Please carry that nuisance statement up and out of here.

Thats an absolute ridiculous assertion.

duke2000: I want to inquire if it is not possible to apply and obtain Visa to US without necessarily obtaining IV from someone or known address. I have applied and visited Europe on several occasions with booked hotel accommodation only. I generally hate the idea of soliciting addresses or IV. Any info?

Roke93: i want to express my profound gratitude to you all;most especially justwise. thank you for been dere for me wen i needed you, i mean ur guidance throughout my visa procurement process was indeed helpful. so i wanna say dat i am so elated and also thankful for ur assistance. may God reward you guys .i got my entry clearance on friday and i came into the UK on tuesday and those of you out dere who have not yet gotten ur entry clearance i also pray dat you get urs. as long as you take counsel from justwise and co. i bet you will be fine. once again, i thank you all. i live Birmingham now

wayinoma: I need pointers as to which state to have a baby that would not cost me a arm and a leg

obadiah777: maybe they just want to be in england ? put it like this, i know many saudi arabian boys. they come to england.pay for school and then dont turn up. and party in england for 4 years. then when it is time to return home they make fake certificates ( a nigerian guy i know used to be the one making the fake certificates for them )and they take the fake certificates to saudi and get the best jobs after playing in england for 4 years. LOL. thats life. we are all pretending to occupy ourselves with mundane and irrelevant things that make us feel important when we are on earth such as degrees, which in actuality are all worthless time wsting ventures on earth. some people, like the saudis, have realized that, and decide to play for 4 years and get fake certificates and return home to get good jobs LOL

Dharkchild: I would be going private bro, but ve been speaking with a landlord in Sheffield and would meet him for viewing when I get there so if 'm okay with it I would sign up the contract.

I would keep you posted which ever way it goes, but it would be cool if you could actually team up with someone to get an apartment. Lots of private apartment are actually available for rent within walking distance from school and done even prefer renting it to a group of students as opposed to individuals.

mrrock: @solomon111
Don't mind that yeye guy. As far as he's concerned everything western is good, and everything Nigeria is bad.

wowo2: 2600 students sent out of a school because they are foreigners and 25 of a sample of 101 foreign students had a stay or english skills which are questionable?

UK must be the No 1 3rd world country in the world!

obadiah777: they dont care if you can speak english. you have to understand that england is a country with no resources. their resource is 'education'. this is how they make some of their money. so it does not matter to them if you can speak a lick of english so long as you can pay.

solomon111: Are,you sure,you are Nigerian!
If you are, then you must have been badly 'white-washed',judging from the way you support the west.!

obadiah777: getting an admission into UK universities is not dependent on intelligence. the society runs on money. if you are a cretin with the IQ of a lobotomized snail, so long as you have the money to pay for tuition they will fall over themselves to accept you. sall about the moola babyyyyyyyyyyy. tis only in naija where you have to do jamb etc to enter uni

mrrock: @justwise.
It's unfortunate you're a novice to U.S foreign policy. You are taking their gesture at face-value.
Meanwhile, let's not quarrel over it. Let it be.

mrrock: @justwise.
You often argue blindly. Otherwise, you've known by processing visas ''faster'' they simply want as much people as possible fast into the U.S. What do you think would be the effect if they say the opposite?. Would you have more people in the U.S fast?. My brother they are deparate!.
Again, unfortunately, many of us don't know it.

afam4eva: I hope same fate won't befall Middlesex university.

Donxavier: Yes Finally, I have my entrance clearance. Am so grateful to God Almighty.
Very many thanks to Justwise, he allowed me freedom on this thread and then Special mention to ell77. The part 1 of this thread was it for me. It just motivated me to go get the Tier 4 pdfs and read them and that was it. I can now take a well deserved break from this thread. Special hailing to all the Tier4 crew here, Dharkchild, Salsera, Richeyy, Adebee,Cavenchy, Kolawoye,dolz,Penfold, and all dilligents followers and readers of this thread. I love you all and God bless us all.

@Dharkchild,
We definitely will be in contact via email and I know we can probably work out time to see. I'd be shuttling Aberdeen, London so let's see how it goes.
@salsera
U still havnt given me any email addy lol na so e hard to get your contact we shall not be burned IJN. Na pepper soup we go use wash am make I buy drinks for the boys. Seriosly, send me the addy now so you can give me more tips

Much love from me to all and I wish everyone success in their endeavours.

Chedarking: I always warned people to stay away from London Met and its Mickey Mouse courses...

Obinoscopy: @timmy1999, it seems a moderator annoyed you. Tell me the truth, whisper it in my ears, I won't tell anyone...lol

Just kidding, anyways I think you're making a genuine proposition. Its left for nairalanders to air their views on this.

mrrock: @AjanleKoko
The idea is to lure those countries into the U.S. That's why they have to make it easier for applicants to obtain entrance visas.
As I said earlier it's unfortunate most of us don't know it.

Isiri: Am sorry if I post dis in wrong trend. I gt dis mail and I was confused if it is real or not and want u pple to enlighten before I go further thnk u all

honiye: I once read a report from U.S dept of state that Lagos U.S visa office receives over 100,000 applications monthly and thats why there is delay in visa processing.
You can imagine what the U.S is earning on monthly bases from one of the poorest countries in the world.

Thats a country who is desperate about improving its national economic standard.

Now calculate 100,000 X 140USD ($140 is the lowest visa processing fee) = 14,000,000USD, then covert to naira with the current exchange rate.
on monthly bases from lagos visa office alone not to talk of abuja.
Tell why why they wont prioritize Nigeria when they know what comes as revenue for them in this so-called poor country.
They simply scammed us more than the yahoo boys scammed them.

Sorry for you Nigerians, most of the applications are from desperate youths who want to go for greener pastures; the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer
