horny4u: So its ilegal to rappee a goat?....hehehehe....

Dharkchild: Respect to all the bosses in the house, u guys have answered most of my questions already and it was fun reading peoples experience and advice here.

Hopefully, I would be coming to the UK in sept, University of Sheffield to be specific for my masters degree.

From personal research, this thread and other UK threads on Nairaland, ve been able to find out that staying in private property is cheaper than staying in school accommodation.

Ensuite room in school accommodation would cost me about £112.50pw but after looking through some property sites online, I was able to get a private property (ensuite room in a shared apartment but kitchen shared) with all bills inclusive about 10 mins walk or 3 mins drive from school for £75pw.

I made some findings about the property agents to confirm that it was not scam (just had to double check) and I also had a friend in Birmingham check out the apartment for me and sent me pictures which I was okay with.

The agent sent me a contract document which I am okay with but have to sign and scan to them. The challenge now is that I have to pay a deposit of £200 to secure the apartment and the rent can be paid when I arrive in Sheffield. The deposit is the only way to secure the apartment and I am willing to pay but I still kinda sceptical.

Do you think it is advisable to go ahead and sign the contact and payment of the deposit considering the fact that I was ok with the internet pictures and the pictures my friend took. I really would not like to lose the apartment Cos it is ensuite and all bills are inclusive as most other apartment ve seen are not ensuite and I kinda like a lil privacy, I also think most apartment close to school might have been taken before resumption.

PS those looking for student apartments just google "student apartment in your area" like student apartment in Birmingham or Aberdeen etc....... Take your time to go through the search result, limit your search to what you want.... like room in House share....., studio......, bills inclusive etc. when you see any property you like, you can use google maps to check the proximity of the property to your school by entering the postcode of your school and the apartment you are considering. Hope this helps someone. Cheers

Rossikk: Have you ever done a search on recorded murders in Nigeria before opening your big dirty mouth to ask ''who keeps such records in Nigeria''? Have you even visited the Nigerian Police website to know what they're up to? Do you care? (Need I ask?) Fact is the Nigerian police, like every other police force, keeps the records on annual reported murders, and there are nowhere near 10,000 a year. Nigerians do not walk around with, or keep guns in their houses, and are not as violent as Americans.

World homicide stats:

Nigeria: 1.29 per 100,000 population

USA: 5.22 PER 100,000 population

tinapame: @justwise, is it compulsory that the first person who invited you to UK shd be the same to invite you on subsequent visits? I want to reapply for UK visa and this same person is planning to come relocate back to Nigeria but someone else who is also a friend is willing to send me a letter of invite. Pls advice. Thanks

ROSSIKE: The USA with 10,000 murders a year, where do they stand on the 'most peaceful list'?

coogar: 3-bedroom houses can go as high as £1800(bills inclusive) in most parts of london. how can you say £600/month can get a 2-3 bedroom when sometimes a one bedroom flat can be £1000 a month in london suburbs?

Godogwu: Its been echoing for a bit, I know UK isnt the most expensive but it's quite expensive. I know this because practically 40% of my classmates from secondary school in Nigeria are in Jand as international students, 30% in Nigeria another 20% in Canada and about 10% of us are littered in either US, Gh, Malaysia etc.... When we discuss our spendings we find out that the peeps in Jand spend a lot more. I have a friend who is sharing a 3 bed house with two other people and she pays £600 a month and for a second I was like " whoa!" that's over $1200 which is over N200k and in a year would be about N2.5m ( I could rent a full 4 bed or 5 bed house in lekki or a 3 or 4 bed house in Wuse or Garki with that). Even though the US is relatively cheaper considering that I pay about $620/ month ( campus shared housing), it's still a very high cost of living, facts still remains I can't live anywhere outside Nigeria.

horny4u: But you know they will want to. Just need to read that yeye daily express to see that they are not smiling at foreigners.

norrisman: Bruv, you need to beg your step mum to free you from bondage if you have nothing to show from £100,000 PA! Thats director and CEO money you are talking about guv!

My wife and I have a joint income that is less than that and without appearing to be boasting, we are balling. I drive a brand new Merc, 2 holidays a year (1 European, 1 rest of the world), 2 properties, designer clothes for the 2 kids and us and thousands in premium bonds for the rainy day.

r231: Hmmmmmmm what transportation are you talking about

Olympic or no Olympic bus, train, tube price remains the same till 2nd of January of every year. Top-ups doesn't have nothing to do with Olympics or London, that's your choice
