Just today, someone posted a fully furnished 5bedroom detached duplex at Ajah, Lagos for N70M and people were saying it was cheap compared to buying a Car of over N100M.
A lady then posted that she would love to buy a house or land worth Millions than spending that millions on a Car that can just have accident or crash tomorrow beyond repair and the whole millions would all be gone. Just like that.
People should be wise.
A Car and Land, which one is of much value to you?
Anyways, check my profile. I post affordable lands below N2M in Lagos and Ogun States.

Story....Story....Story....Story....
Even if this story is true, this is what he should do becos blackmail is not good atall.
1) Tell your wife what you did. 2) Tell your children what you did It would be hard for them to take in initially but they will adjust. Then tell them to post the video in confidence.
As for fear of friends and outsiders seeing the video, dont care about them. As far as your immediate family is aware, thats all that counts.
You won't hear from them again.
Blackmail only works when you allow it.
That's my 2cents. |
Tinyemeka: LOL.
You're really doing your research! 
I guess we're probably in the same boat because that's part of my plan at the moment.
I'm not enrolled in any program, so I'll be speaking as an Obote and wholly stand to be corrected by those already studying there.
1. Most affordable nursing programs are in the range of £13,500 - £14,500 (see the Universities of Teesside, Derby, Central Lancashire, Coventry, Bedfordshire, etc) per year and the programme runs for 2 years. So it's that tuition per year, for 2 years. You're not exactly going to pay that amount though. How? - Most of the schools offer an automatic international bursary of £1,000 - £2,000 to applicants from several developing countries including Nigeria
- The UK govt through their NHS, starting Sept 2020 provides a non-means tested annual Training Grant of £5,000 to all students enrolled in some shortage healthcare courses including Nursing. https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-learning-support-fund/training-grant An acquaintance of mine already resident in the UK tells me I cannot access it as my visa when issued, will bear "non-recourse to public funds". I do not believe him though as that particular grant is "non-means tested". You just have to be enrolled in any of the qualifying programs to access the grant. I stand to be corrected.
- An additional £1,000 is being planned for students enrolled in some critical healthcare courses. The government website has information about an additional £1,000 a year available to new students. This is only available to new students starting from September 2020. This is to prioritise shortage groups that are key to delivering the NHS Long Term Plan. The specialist subject payment includes students on courses for: mental health nursing learning disability nursing radiography (diagnostic and therapeutic) prosthetics and orthotics orthoptics and podiatry Combined courses that include one of these shortage courses. For example, adult and mental health nursing, will also qualify for the £1,000 payment.
- There’ll also be a regional incentive payment of up to £1,000. University of Derby has such plans in place.
So if you really wish to be overly optimistic about funding, your calculations on tuition may look like this: For a student enrolled in Mental Health Nursing (pre-registration) at the University of Derby: Tuition fee £14,700 less International bursary £2,000 less NHS Training Grant £5,000 less NHS shortage specialist subject payment £1,000 less regional incentive £1,000. Do the maths. Teesside offers the option of making 7 instalment payments per year. I don't know about Derby.
When you land with your student visa, your working hours is limited to 20hrs per week or 80 per month.
Amazon warehouse pays around £10 per hour (dayshift) and approx £12 per hour (night shifts). Home care pay around similar figures. Your monthly income from that line should therefore hover in the £800-£900 range.
I'm very sure that some students do work beyond the 20hr/week limit. What types of jobs? I don't know. But I'll gladly appreciate some tips from students resident there.
To answer your No. 1) question, the 20hr/week pay cannot take care of your tuition fees.
If you are married and coming with your spouse, there is no limit on the number of hours your accompanying spouse should work. But you'll have to factor in proof of funds during your visa application, for the accompanying spouse.
2) @SamReinvented posted earlier that his rent (shared flat), utilities and groceries all cost below £500 per month. So if you'll be coming alone, living frugally and studying outside London, your 20hr/week salary can conveniently cover those expenses.
3) Don't have much info about scholarships. Sorry.
4) Previous respondents have advised to land first before paying for accomodation. Schools have halls/residences for students' accommodation. If however you wish to stay outside, it is advisable to book a shortlet like Airbnb, land first and do a site inspection before committing rent payment.
Another 4) That's where they broke everyone's heart.  You’ll need to show you have enough money to support yourself - unless you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months on the date of your application. How much money you need depends on where you will be studying. You’ll need either: £1,334 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses in London £1,023 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses outside London If you’re boarding at a residential independent school, you’ll need to pay boarding fees instead. The amount you need to pay will be on your CAS. Additional info: https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/money You need to have the Naira equivalent of £9207 + the first year tuition amount stated on your CAS. This is excluding IHS, visa and other associated fees you'll have to pay.
My calculations are showing £21,808.06, but I refuse to accept that. 
5. I'll leave that for the nursing students.
6. Of all the schools I've checked, clinicals are unpaid. Transportation expenses to distant placements can be reclaimed. https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-learning-support-fund/travel-and-dual-accommodation-expenses
But I don't know if this falls under the classification of public funds. I doubt that though.
Let me park for now, while we await more responses from nursing students already on ground.
Thanks. Wow....Wow....God bless you. This is a what I call "Wealth of Information" which you just gave out now for free and I have really learnt a whole lot. More grace on your head. I literally read it all and quickly copied your entire response to all my questions and saved it on my memo pad so that I can be reading it everyday  Thank you so much. I really really appreciate your input and contribution and for taking out time to respond to me. I say another THANK YOU. I don't take help like this for granted. I really really appreciate. As you have risen up for me, so will men rise up for you and Las Las, we shall all achieve our UK dream (Amen). Stay blessed and have a wonderful day ahead bro  |
