guiddoti: Mr moderator how could you jokingly say that. Do you know if she finished with first class during her undergraduate. I can now know how you reason. Downstairs mentality

guiddoti: Thumb up, lady. Good answer. I had thought you ll spark up. Soft spoken gives away wroth

Godsspeed: Good Morning Forumites, and a Very Happy New Year! Pls what's the link to the newly created topic by Obatide?

justwise: @All
Please lets not derail this thread with the debate about creating another thread because we have one already that can accommodate issues regarding preparing for US and life in US as a lottery winner.
You only create a new thread if there is need for it or if there no such thread existing already.
Thank you.

BarrisNixon: @justwise
I guess alot has changed now cus I left the UK in 2010. Gumtree helped me alot... As for the car sale yeah I know it wasnt allowed but I used the word part time based on its just to buy a car, advertise it and when u get a buyer, sell it off. One doesnt need to go and register it as a business oooo.... Me and my home boy where doing it in Coventry and today he owns midlands auto lounge in Coventry.

bunburized: I understand there are shops in Manchester that will sell african foodstuffs but at what extra cost.
Does a kg of stockfish in UK sells at same price as a kg of stockfish in Nigeria?
My point is that if I can manage a reasonable amount of food items that is within my baggage weight limit it will be foolish not to take advantage of it as I may have to buy same in the UK for probably an extra N100 or more.
I am definitely not planning on taking 20kg of stockfish but I will try to carry some as well as other food items that my total 46kg baggage weight allowance can accommodate.
My clothes and other items excluding food items won't even weight 10kg so it is only fair I stock on foodstuffs to make up the balance.
Seriously, I am thinking of throwing in another piece of baggage(23kg) as the excess baggage is charged per piece of 23kg weight and it cost a meager £60.
The only reason I will not go with much foodstuffs is if the prices over there in the UK compares favorably with those in Nigeria.
Finally, if I decide to carry foodstuffs from Nigeria it will be to my advantage as my parents will buy them without recourse to my maintenance money but if I choose to buy anything in the UK it is my responsibility as they say I already have my maintenance funds.

BarrisNixon: I studied in Coventry, stayed and worked in London, Nottinghan and finally Manchester before returning back to Nigeria finally. I think getting a job is though challenging but you can always get one provided you got your complete papers and you follow the law in terms of working with a student visa. Though you cant expect much pay, at least you could pay your bills and feed yourself. As an international student you always need the support of your sponsor sha cus ur body go tell u lol... Well i do use this site to get jobs: www.gumtree.co.uk. I did more of sales and marketing jobs cus they are easy to come by. If you have a driving license, I wud advice u do part time car sales like i did. You buy cars via www.autotrader.co.uk and shade it for sale in your area or ebay. Its good business and all you need is a sence of selecting good and cheap cars and have a sat nav to pick cars outside ur area. UK is a fun place actually if u knw ur way. Biko no give ur account to person 4 bank transfer oooo

benom: As a Nigerian living in the US, I find this topic very disturbing. It is completely wrong to identify a country as racist. For all those that say the US is more racist, there is a very high percentage that you are racist yourself. The US is a very diverse place and people will treat you differently based on their personal experience. That does not make a country racist!
And oh by the way, Nigerians are some of the most sensitive people I have ever seen. Ask a fellow Nigerian here in the US and they will tell you they don't even want to live in a neighborhood with a lot of fellow Nigerians.
Bottom line, if you want to travel abroad, go with purpose and you will be respected. Don't come here depending on government assisted living and hope to be treated like a king.

Nelly Ghenghen: Here we go again! black man with s.tupid talks on racism. really who is more racist than Africans? would we allow a white man to be the president of Nigeria? Can we allow a white man/woman to be a minister or a senator in Nigeria? or even local govt chairman?? Can a white person win MBGN? most times you even hear stuff like "she's too light skinned, she shouldn't win MBGN, she doesn't rep Africa".

Few months back your coach told someone to go back to belgium "white dude" and it was okay, if reverse was the case you'll see all black people crying offence.

We Africans are racists too, the only thing is other races don't give us the opportunity to shi.t them.

Dkoo: thanks bro but have you got any agency website i can register with??

Geordie na ihm the guy remix

jay bee: Abeg which one be jordie?

tdayof: I need different opinion

Phinalphantasy:
I am interested in the answer as well. I am presently planning on quitting a job and furthering. However I have more questions:

is it easier to get a job during schooling in Canada than UK?(Masters Programme)
is it easier getting a job after the MAsters programme in canada than UK?
what is the likelihood of securing a job in both countries?
i know UK is now a fiish-school-and-go-home country but I am thinking there could be some requirements that could make one have staying power?

Obatide: Do these make any meaning to you?

ironbender101: I applied for a HK visa since May 2013 and just yesterday the lady that processed my visa called me and told me ma visa is out. I have a very strong doubt as its my first time of applying for a visa and also ma passport is a virgin passport. I had issues with my agent because I thought she was a fraud when she collected 40k from me and after some months, I angrily requested for my passport and forgot everything about the HK trip totally. Now my fried in the states told me that HK visa is shengen visa and that the fake is so much here in Nigeria that I should try and verify. He also said the only way to verify is when I get to HK. Now I'm very confused, and I don't believe the agent either. Please house I need help I'm very confused now. I need your comments. Thanks and pardon ma English.
