That was what I read from your statement. You just made a general statement on Nigerians not practicing what they preach; this isn't right because you haven't met all Nigerians to know that all of them don't practice what they preach. This is also the same with people making a general statement concerning racism about other races; something you were against as read from your comments and your defense of other races. If you, as a Nigerian, aren't practicing what you preach, it doesn't mean that others aren't doing the same.
The fact that someone else is doing wrong doesn't mean that you shouldn't address the wrong that someone has done to you.
When you dot your Is and cross your Ts, it doesn't mean you can't get hit with racism or tribalism and at that point, it isn't correction as you've said.
Don't discount other people's experiences to push your narrative; there's room for everyone's experiences.

Aprokodaughter:
Nobody is using one to justify the other. But Nigerians should practice what they preach.

You can't be telling people what they should do with their country when your own country is doing exactly the same thing to its fellow citizens.

If they try to correct you then take it. If they don't want to gist with you, you mind your business is that simple. Do your work and go home. It is not that hard.


Even in Nigeria some Nigerians (even the educated ones) pretend they can't get what their fellow country man is saying.

I understand where you're coming from but please refrain from using one to justify the other. Neither of them is worse than the other, it just hits different; people should only speak on what they've experienced and not on some assumptions. That someone gives you something doesn't make some of their actions right.
No one here is obliged to tell you what they've done to eradicate tribalism, this is a discourse on racism and as you'd have gathered, not everyone has the same experience with it. We know that tribalism also exists and no one is disputing that; it's left to everyone to treat others exactly how they wanna be treated. And the eradication of tribalism, like racism will take ages to attain because of the existence of tribalists.

Aprokodaughter:
You people haven't addressed tribalism but people that are giving you jobs, house even marriage should work on themselves abi?

If you don't know tribalism is worse than rasicm. Some of you wailing over racism still go to the abroad and practice your tribalism over your fellow Nigerians. LMFAO!!!!


Some of you here if you had the opportunity you will type in your language on this thread so others don't get the info



Yes Both Tribalism and Rasicim is wrong but how many of you have addressed the one going on in you country? Please raise your hand lets see

I didn't say that anyone said so. I just didn't want anyone reading a different meaning into my comment since I was sharing my experience. Not everyone experiences it but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, some experience it in subtle terms while some others experience it in full. The fact still remains that racists drive institutionalized racism and as long as racists exist, it will take ages to change.

Cyberknight:
Of course not all individuals are racist, no-one said that.

Simply put, the playing field in the UK (and in lots of other places too) is not level due to institutional and covert racism. The colour of one's skin has an effect on aspects of one's life there.

True about the institutional racism though I've experienced racism just 3ce - 2ce on the road and 1ce at work. But it's worthy to note that racism in any form is driven by racist individuals and not all individuals are racist; I have some amazing white and black people as friends and I also know some horrible white and black people as well.
Also racism in the US is more openly expressed than in the UK. I've seen some black racist people too so it cuts both ways.
I remember being blamed for something that happened at work even though I wasn't in the area where it happened for months (I was moved elsewhere). The white lady that used to work with me in the area wasn't penalized and the organisation waited till she left before raising the issue and trying to penalize me for it. I kicked against it, presented valid evidence and requested an investigation even though they tried so hard to pin it on me but they had to let it go when they couldn't provide evidence (including CCTV) that I was indeed in that area. They admitted that I was indeed one of their most committed staff and that they couldn't dispute that. After then, I noticed a newfound respect from them and they'd ask my opinion on things because they realized that I dot the Is and cross the Ts.

Cyberknight:
I agree with you when you say Nigerians can be lousy people to know, they generally export their stupid social attitudes when they go abroad, and I too try to avoid them, but I have to say that you are very very wrong when you say Africans have an inferiority complex or that they are responsible for the treatment being meted out to them. That means you think the white man is an angel. In everything, don't be quick to issue blanket denunciations, always interrogate matters further.

Institutional and official racism is a thing - don't take my word for it, look into it. Read. Look into the history of the place where you find yourself. And it is well documented that the psychological effects of racism and discrimination are deep and lasting when you face it for years and years, being told that and treated as if you were inferior, it does do something to you inside, if you are not very strong and resilient, something that cannot be said of everyone. The complex or mindset you say many Africans have is a coping one, and not inferiority.

Perhaps you are not aware that while the UK is a much better place to live now, in the 60s through the 80s the racism there was at or way beyond east European levels. I lived in the UK as a child from 76 - 81, when the National Front was at its worst, and we experienced the 81 riots. The white man's worldview that you talk about is simply the feeling that the black man should keep his place and while things have improved a whole lot since the 80s, the psychological and physical assault on the black man still continues.

It is no mistake that the main victims of the Windrush scandal and the whole hostile environment rubbish were our west Indian brethren - some long-term white Commonwealth and east Asian residents were also in the same situation, but as a report shows, almost 80 percent of them were treated with more official understanding and flexibility than the west Indians were, including some with criminal records. While virtually every black person who fell into the net was either deported, destititued or otherwise harassed. If you were a long-term African resident in the UK, what would that do to your mental self-image knowing that you were officially subject to this sort of blatant discrimination?

Again, I have travelled to some European countries and I will definitely say that Africans in the UK are in a much better position than in many European countries (Germany comes to mind here). More people are better educated and are more able to push back against forms of discrimination and so forth (which doesn't necessarily reduce it though). More and more people are taking up higher profile roles and the glass ceiling (it is there, make no mistake about that) is gradually being shifted, but the struggle is real.

People fought long and hard for us to be able to enjoy the relative opportunity the UK offers today and those of us who have luckily not experienced the lack of opportunity, the exploitation and the occasional degradation that others have had to live through or put up with should not judge everyone by the same standard.

No one can say for sure but given the fact that VACs might stay closed for a while suggests that tier 4 visas might not be issued for the 1st term.
UKVI has loads of applications that has been put on hold because of the situation, there will be quite a backlog of applications to work on and this might significantly delay Tier 4 applications even if they go ahead to issue visas for the 1st term of the next session.

autolearner:
Came by this on TSR.

Any insider information on how this impacts the issuance of T4 visas against September?

1. Tuition wise, Teeside seems like your best bet but your choice should actually be dependant on your preferred industry. Teeside also gives you the option of exploring the renewable energy sector which is quite a lot of potentials.
2. From all indications, yes but keep checking UKVI news and website for updates.
3. Yes, you can as long as you can show academic progression.
4. It depends on what you wanna do after your program.
5. Legally settling in the UK could be done via tier 1 (entrepreneurship), tier 2 and marriage (FLR M, FLR FP) routes; Tier 5 is limited to 2 years. More info in UKVI guidelines.
Other countries like Canada is via work, marriage, study e.t.c Check for the requirements of each country.

anthonanik:
I want to use this podium to say big thanks to Skymoore,Justwise,Mimilyrics,SegunWamir,Mamacajah etc if u no see ur name abeg no vex..for their immense effort towards updating us on UK students movement and preparations.

Please I have few questions to ask,

1, I gained admission to study Msc in Energy and Environmental Management(18 months) at Teesside University Tuition £5500 after schorlaship.
Msc in Health and Safety Environment(1 year) at University of South Wales, Tuition £11800 after scholarship.
Msc in Public Health(1 year) at Sunderland University, Tuition £12,500 after scholarship as well.

Please I need advice based on financial aspect cause money isn't that much to waste. course among them that is worth going for regarding good investment return.

2, I want to know if UK 2 years post study work still stands cause that's one of my major reason opting for UK schools.

3, Can someone go for another program at the end of the first one in UK?

4, Someone earlier on this tread said that she's kind of regretting her course of choice relating to environmental program, is environmental related course not sell-able in UK?

Finally, I really need to know prerequisites for someone to regularize(legally) in UK or move into another country after study, like the possibilities.

Thanks..Waiting for una response plsssss

All the best.

Hey,
I discovered that getting an undergraduate admission in the UK is more easier than that of the US more so for Nigerians ( probably because we were colonized by them). But here, I dont understand how to apply for admission and scholarship through UCAS.

Do you know about admission process in the UK? If you do please help me out!

Your visa will be for your course duration + 4 months after your course ends.

Paramedickelvin:
Good morning all please I got Admission
Into Leeds Beckett University and Huddersfield to start with foundation(Adult Nursing and Biomedical science):my start date is 4th Sept to July 2021 and Also I will start the Full Course 2021 to end 2024, My question is how many Years Visa will I be given?and Secondly I want to save the stress of coming back to Nigeria and apply again for Visa.....

No one knows for sure. Keep checking .Gov and the VAC websites. If you had booked your appointment before the lockdown, you should get a mail when they are set to reopen.

Marc0110:
Warm regards to one all, Please is there any faint ideal as to when TLS Contact in Ikeja, the Visa Application Centre will commence for biometrics? I am asking now since the UK government and Lagos state government have started the gradual easing of the Covid-19 Restrictions.

Thanksvery much

Congratulations! I'm glad that you got that sorted out.

toyclicks:
Thanks to @Mamacajah @Skymoore @SegunWamiri @Mimilyrics and all who gave advice on this my choice of Management/FinTech issue.

Salford just replied me a mail that FinTech has been approved and I have been given an offer letter.

It's really not the best to keep issues to ones self oo

It's for 1 year.

Gavrelino123:
ARU....the 11,200£ is it a 2 year PROGRAMME?
.

You're not required to show funds for the 2 years but you must show that you have enough money to pay for the course fees +9 months for the first year of your course and maintenance of up to 9 months for each of your dependants.
When unsure about the veracity of any info, always verify info using the official UKVI guidance to avoid pitfalls that may cost you. The info on the screenshot is correct but your friend's info is wrong.

Odedenshi1:
Greetings everyone and thanks for the wonderful contributions so far.

I need clarification regarding proof of funds for a dependant. I saw online that it is £6,120 (if the Visa will be granted for 9months or more) per dependant but was surprised when a friend in UK told me today that it is £16,320 (2years living cost).

I have attached the source of my info herewith. I would appreciate all vital information concerning this, many thanks.

The ARU tuition makes sense with the deductions. The Kent scholarship is easy as long as your application write up is compelling. It never hurts to explore your options so if you try, the worst case scenario will be not getting it but you'd still have ARU. You can apply the scholarship as soon as you get an offer without the initial deposit. It's awarded on a rolling basis.

holy100:
Thank you so much for your response and recommendation. i got a 4k pounds scholarship from ARU and if combined with the 1k pounds early payment discount that brings the total tuition fee to 11200k which i think its a fair deal.............but this university of Kent 50% scholarship is tempting shaa. i dont know if it will be easy to get.

Newly designed and significantly updated programs have to undergo series of approvals and discussions with all stakeholders. Subject to approval usually means that the program is in the final stages of approval and that the school is doing all that it can to ensure (but not guaranteeing) that the course is ready to run at the next intake

beautyfoch:
Good evening house

I came across this phrase "subject to validation" on the course page for Adult Nursing, University of Chester.

Does it mean that the course has NOT been fully accredited by NMC?

I've written to the school for clarifications but no feedback yet.

Any idea on what this means before someone enters one chance of studying unaccredited course..

See the attached below

CC Justwise, Omapapa

1. Anglia Ruskin is good. I completed my undergraduate studies there some years ago and it was good at the time. You can also compare the MBA offerings against schools in the same area i.e. Uni Greenwich and Uni Kent. Kent offers a 10% off on fees and its modules and in terms of course offerings, Kent, Greenwich and ARU are similar with only slight differences in modules.
In terms of cost, Kent is more expensive @ 21,400 since Greenwich is 16,000 and ARU at 16,200 but with the Uni Kent's 50% scholarship (if you get it) and its 10% discount on early deposit payment, UniKent tuition would stand at 8,000 (inclusive of initial deposit). ARU used to offer about 10% off tuition but not sure if they still do so. Kent tuition is inclusive of a 5-day study trip to an EU country.
2. Combining your ACCA and MBA doesn't necessarily mean that you would get a job with tier 2 sponsorship but it gives you an edge as long as you start your job search early. Try to brush up on your other skills that could get you a foot in the door (i.e. If you got a PM job, can you demonstrate a good grasp and experience of PM in addition to your business management and accounting experience? What are your excel skills like? Note that this is just an example and not a given). Make sure you start your job search early after identifying T2 sponsors and don't shy away from business gatherings. Also get volunteer experience in which you may use your and develop your skills shouldn't be overlooked to. It's not a given that you'd get a job but if you plan for it, it's possible.
3. What would you like to do after your degree? Do you just want to do a Masters as a stamp on your knowledge or as a way of entering the market?
4. On-campus costs are similar to that of Kent and most unis and but I'm sure that if you will be renting private, you'd come up with various options that would suit your pocket. Food and electric costs are similar to elsewhere in the UK. Cambridge is fun depending on your idea of fun.

holy100:
Good day house. I have been following this page for a while now and I will need your input before making this decision. I recently became a member of ACCA ( Association of Chartered certified Accountant) and have been admitted to study "Master of Business Administration" in "Anglia Ruskin University" for September but im thinking of applying for MSC Accounting & Finance in other Universities. My questions.

1) Is the University a good school?

2) What are my chances of getting a Tier 2 sponsor if i combine my ACCA certificate( Since its a UK Certificate & recognised all over the world) & a Master of Business Administration certificate ?

3) Should i just stick with Master of Business Administration or look for admission for MSC Accounting & Finance.( my reason is that if i seek admission for MSC Accounting & Finance, i will be repeating most of the modules i already took while studying for my ACCA exams)?

4) what is the cost of living in Cambridge and how is the city generally?

Please i've been asks to deposit 4k pounds in order to secure the admission & i need some advice before making my decision. Thanks in anticipation for your responses.

Cc Justwise and all the other Gurus in the house.

I had already typed a response to you earlier but refrained from posting because this is strictly for T4 enquiries and on 2nd thought, your question gives off the air of you wanting to get into a marriage for the wrong reasons or as a means to game the system; this might put the wrong impression in the minds of prospective students.

pretty1986:
. good evening, pls can you explain about Marriage Route in getting PR in UK?.thanks.

There's a cap on how many years you can spend on a T4 visa so you wouldn't be able to make the 10 years on it. T4 studies is capped at 5-6 years depending on the level and in situations where you need to extend this cap, you can only extend your immigration permission if you had very compelling circumstances, such as injury, disability, or other compelling reasons for not completing your studies before the cap expires.
After PG research studies, you can only apply for subsequent Tier 4 immigration permission if the new course will bring the total number of years to eight or less. And normally, PhD takes about 3-4 years on full time basis so if you add that to your one year MSc and 2 years PSW, you'd fall still fall short of the time requirements.
Your best bet would be securing a T2 sponsorship and being on same for 5 years to qualify for ILR after 5 years.
It wouldn't be nice for you to spend all that money on studying in the UK with the aim of migration only to end up not being able to.

toyclicks:
Thank you

I am just trying to look diligently for the course that will give me all options cos of this issue of 10yrs before PR really giving concern

cos I believe its better to plan what one will be doing while stalling all that long time.

I'm not being pessimistic but just thinking that God forbid that PGPW expires, one can go in for a PhD

All just to remain in the system

My objective mainly is migration and getting a PR

Going by what obtained on the PSW before it was stopped back then, yes. You can always check UKVI site for updates on this since the PSW won't be in effect till 2021 summer and the rules and guidance will be published just before the PSW takes off. Dependants might be subject to PBS conditions but that's to be seen.

Plus21:
Please I like to know if anyone has any information about if applicants during post study work visa would be allowed to have dependants.

Cc.. Justwise, Hosey, other oga's in the house

It's doable but it depends on what you want. Why would you want a PhD? Are you looking at a career in academia in the long term? Would it enhance your career prospects? Is there a particular challenge that you would like to devote your time to getting answers to?

toyclicks:
One more tot

Pls what are the possibilities of proceeding with this kinda course to a PhD level

Enquiries about another course shouldn't normally have a negative kickback.
Subject to approval usually means that the program is in the final stages of approval and that the school is ensuring but not guaranteeing that the course is ready to run at the next intake so you're right to be cautious about an intake for later this year.
If you want to explore your FinTech options, you can also check University of Stirling's MSc FinTech in the link below. I know someone who's a current student on the program and so far, the review has been great.

Hello good people, It seems this whole thing is heading somewhere. While digging again, I just found out that Salford just added a new course Financial Technology. I seem to be satisfied with it based on my initial concern about the management choice.

https://beta.salford.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/financial-technology-fintech

But it looks like the University is not yet decisive if they are starting with this session. There is a pop up that reads

New programme: Salford Business School is delighted to present this new programme, aimed at both recent graduates and professionals with a financial, IT or business background looking to expand their understanding of technology in finance.

Subject to academic approval, the programme will open in September 2020. If you want to register your interest, please email:

UK / EU Course Enquiries enquiries@salford.ac.uk
International Enquiries mail to: international@salford.ac.uk

That "Subject to academic approval" clause is my concern. If they have not made up thier mind about it by now, I don't know....

Also, I hope sending a mail to indicate interest won't give me a negative kick back since I had earlier secured admission for a course with them.

Your advice are appreciated. Thanks

No one can tell you a course to do because no one here knows your core skills, strengths and weaknesses in relation to your professional capabilities.
Think about what skills you have or what skills you can build to complement your anticipated MSc Management degree and what you see yourself accomplishing with those skills. Develop your Unique Selling Point and your unique set of qualities and you'd fit just right into the professional workspace here.
PM skills, ability to use industry specific software (PM/accounting/IT), Analytics e.t.c are skill sets that can complement a degree in management. Some of the skills you've developed in your professional pursuits can also be highlighted and tailored to fit JDs for your target areas (Note that your choice of words must be deliberate; This will also ensure that your CV is not dropped by the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) used by organisations to filter applications).
Also ensuring that your CV/LinkedIn profiles match your experience and anticipated industries for future employment is key as it helps to get your foot in the door to at least give you a chance of demonstrating at the interview stage that you've got what it takes and you aren't a fluke.

toyclicks:
Really?

Pls I will appreciate a list of recommended on-demand courses. So I can effect change, if possible before its too late. My 1st degree was Economics and I have 5yrs Sales and Managerial experience from a reputable multnational.

Thanks

It's cool as long as you've got other skills. You'd be needing certification or specialist knowledge in specific fields; this will make it easier for you to get a job at management level.

Good day

Pls I got admission into Salford University MSc Management for September intake
Pls what's the marketability of this course in the UK as I plan to stay after study

E-hugs to you. I wish there was a way I could make things better for you. God will strengthen you through this period. Not sure what part of the UK you're in but if you need someone to talk to, feel free to send a PM.

dupylola:
Thank you all for your advice. Please , do not argue about my case, it’s making me teary.I appreciate everyone, and I must confess I have learnt some new things from everyone’s advice. I await more advice from justwise.
Thank you all.

Pls read my previous comments. I never said that she couldn't get a visa; check my very 1st comment on this. My comment addressed the part of her bringing in her mum-in-law to help with the kids and my comments have been based on what I inferred from the post (I also noted this in my comments). I also laid out possible (not definite) actions if taking care of the kids without her mum-in-law wasn't feasible for her. Also if she has kids below 4 years old, they can't be in nursery for the full school day hours so she will either need to be home with them or pay for nannies which she might or might not have factored in her expenditure.
I don't know what her emotional/psychological/mental situation is as a result of her husband's death so I can only suggest options based on my inference from her comment.
If she makes an application to UKVI about bringing her mum-in-law to help take care of the kids, it casts aspersions on whether she truly has money available for maintenance and bringing her mum-in-law into the picture (for the purpose of helping with the children) leaves the UKVI open to the option of the children having adequate care in Nigeria with or without their mother.
There are cases where applications are refused if information doesn't quite add up even if you've got money in your account so it's up to the applicant to ensure that there are no red flags on his/her application.

LagosismyHome:
with a death certificate to show she the sole parent and proof of funds. That all she needs for dependent Visa

While the reality on ground is that its difficult been a sole parent and schooling but dont mix that up with the process of getting Visa as what you are talking about is the life after the visa and what becomes the reality and not the process of getting the visa

If you read her the post again you'd see where the poster stated that "I am considering applying for his mum so she can help with the kids"- this implies that there wasn't a well-established plan for a nanny or childcare outside of the fact that her husband would watch the kids when she was busy with school or other things. My responses have been based on this.
This would be my last response to you since you're deliberately refusing to understand the lady's situation.

Skymoore1004:
I am not taking a deep breath, it’s not by force.

She asked about dependant visa for the kids and how she can bring her in-law over.

She did not seek any advice as to how she can cope with the kids alone or if she should leave them in Nigeria till after her studies.

Answer what she asked for, shikena.

No one is arguing with you. You're choosing to see from just an angle. There have been precedents and yes, it raises red flags. The visit visa is not for full 6 months stay. Also, your suggestion on a nanny falls under adequate childcare arrangements which I mentioned in my previous comment based on my assumption of that not being included in the couple's initially planned expenditure.
Don't lead people to believe that they can circumvent the immigration rules without penalties; that some people have done it and gotten away with it doesn't make it seem right.

Skymoore1004:
See I don’t have strength to argue with anyone.

She can get dependent visa for her kids, simple!

About her mum, they will arrange something suitable for her. There’s no like Red Flag if she explains the reason of her long visits in her next application (that’s if they ask). As long as there’s proof that she can as not working etc, I see no problem. Nevertheless, she can always get a nanny in the UK.

Calm down and take a deep breath. Now go back to read what I typed. Did you miss the part about adequate care arrangements which obviously includes their upkeep of which finance is a factor?
My response was necessitated by the fact that she stated the fact that she needed her mum-in-law around to help with the kids which implies that she may have trouble doing so alone.

Skymoore1004:
What are you people even saying?

The UKVI only needs to see funds that you can take care of the funds. If required, she can present a death certificate to show the reason to why she needs her kids around and her husband is late. She can enrol them in schools which means they’re busy during the day. There’re also day care centres during weekends, Incase she needs private study time

I know single mothers (Divorcees) studying U.K and got dependent visa for their kids. One even has 3 (age 11, 7 and other a toddler). She only left last year!

That's an option that UKVI has never shied from exploring since there's someone (mum-in-law) in Nigeria to care for them while she's in school. I know few people who had issues with this.
The mum-in-law can't stay for 6 months on each visit because that raises a flag that she is more in the UK than Nigeria, her country of residence and this might be a critical factor as to whether subsequent visa applications are approved or rejected.

Skymoore1004:
I doubt this suggestion was needed.
How do you want her to leave her kids in Nigeria admist the absence of their Father? When do you think she will finish her studies and get Tier 2 etc? Smh

@dupylola, my condolences.
For your in-law, kindly apply for a 2 or 5 years visit visa for her. She can stay for 6 months per visit. Before the end of the 6 months, she can visit a neighbouring country like Macedonia or Montenegro etc, that one can enter with a U.K. visit visa. That way she can renter the U.K. for another 6 months. After a year, she should visit Nigeria for few weeks to avoid any flags then re-enter.

Justwise can advise better.

All The Best

May God grant you the fortitude to bear this loss and may He comfort you now and beyond.
That's a tough one. You can only bring your kids and husband in on your Tier 4 visa.
With your husband's death, it might be difficult bringing your kids over because you'd have to convince the UKVI that you've got adequate care arrangements for your kids in the UK without them getting in the way of your studies (this is based on the assumption that your funds didn't factor in extensive childcare costs for when you're in school and/or at work). If you state that you're bringing your mum-in-law to help with the kids, it opens you up to the option of leaving them in Nigeria with your mum-in-law.
Your mum-in-law can visit your during school weeks to help with the kids but then, there's a limit to how long she can stay and how frequently she can visit the UK on a visiting visa.

dupylola:
Good day house, please, I need advice. I came to the Uk Jan this year to study a 2 Years program. I am a married woman with kids so my husband and I planned that he would apply for dependant visa with the kids by March. Unfortunately due to the lock down, they couldn’t get the biometrics done and the worst happened,����my hubby died from covid 19 related disease last week.My life shattered but I have to keep moving���

I am planing to return to Nigeria to get the kids for biometrics but my heart bleeds for my husband after all his sacrifices . I am considering applying for his mum so she can help with the kids while I run around. Please, how can I go about this?? There’s enough fund to cover her maintenance fee.

@Just wise and all kindly advise.

No need to lie. Several people have gotten student visas even after previous visa refusals for the UK, US and other countries. Don't lie! Also have good reasons for wanting to study in the UK and make sure all your documents are in order.

R0LL0N:
Hello family, I plan paying my deposit tomorrow but got discourage to night. I was refused US visiting visa in 2016 as a result of not having any ties to home. I tried filling the form on the UK visa portal to check if they will ask for previous denial of visa from any country. I was afraid that if I spoke the truth I might not be issued a student visa. Please advice me what to do!

No, you can't. Let the uncle transfer the money to the person's account and the person should observe the 28 days rule. Only your parents or legal guardians can sponsor you (except you're being sponsored by an international company/organisation or your home government).

yusufDeveloper:
Abeg, for UK schools, if someone gains admission, can I use a citizen to stand for me like that of Germany. I have quite a few people who are citizens and MIGHT be of help if I were to gain admission. Because I don't have any official parents right now cos I was raised by guardians whose names are different from mine and it wasn't an adoption process. I could just make use of my uncle as the person who is my official guardian and I know he has the money and also a citizen and we even share names. His surname is my mother's maiden name.



Good evening my Ogas, please what advice can you give to this person. I told him the only option for him is to tell his uncle to send all the money he will need to his personal account but he said the uncle is a citizen in UK and he's willing to take care of everything but he doesn't know if he would be willing to send all the money (school fees + living cost) to his personal account as it was already discussed here. Please, is that the only solution because I don't want to give someone's son false information. Thank you.
