Better, they would ask you how you intend to fund your Masters, accommodation plan, if you’d going back to your home country, the modules you are going to take, why did you choose the campus, address of the University, ranking of the University on different ranking platforms. What do you stand to benefit from the Masters. edimolu: |

Career / Re: Is Japa Worth It? by OdogwuEkeke(m): 4:05pm On Jul 25, 2023 |
First, I will like to congratulate on being able to earn in dollars in Nigeria. My japa journey took 7 years. 'Cold feet na normal thing' I have failed multiple times hence I think I know exactly how you feel. I planned Canada,Belgium, Germany, South Africa and they all failed until Uk welcomed me. To be honest there is no right and wrong answer to what you are seeking, some people come here and regret while some others are flourishing in Nigeria. Just this past weekend, I was talking to a guy close to one of Nigerias top skit maker/comedian and was told he makes on average $70,000 monthly with betting companies signing thousands of dollars deal with them. Such a person cannot make that amount anywhere and would be free of tax. On the other hand, I got a software developer working for a company in the abroad and after a while, they felt it was not safe to have a team member have access to sensitive information about the company stay in Nigeria. He was told to leave. Truth be told the stigma against Nigeria is very bad, most people are just waiting to change their passport. I know a good number of Nigerian celebrities that bought passports from caribbean countries just to ease movement and do business without stress. My advice: Keep your job, do it with all your strength for like a year and then consider working for another country outside Nigeria. If you are the only black at the office, trust me,you might have issues with your colleagues. I wish you all the best hazinibones: 1 Like |

Advice; you don’t have to take it or believe me. Remove Ulster University from your Uk plans. Reasons. 1. The main University will not regard you as a student all through your studies meaning you will not have any feeling of being in a University. It’s going to feel more like you are doing a professional course lesson. 2. They block your account if you cannot pay up fees and you would be threatened with UKVI, trust me you might not be able to handle that with essays everywhere. 3. You might not have a graduation ceremony. Boys graduating now are told the earliest their graduation can be is December 2024. So all that gown and throwing of cap no go dey. 4. At this University, you really don’t have a break within semesters to work full-time, I don’t know why. They wouldn’t give you letter so you working full time is at your own risk lol. 5. Lecturers do not come to class. There was a semester, we started a course 5 weeks into the semester. This is a paid program Ooh. 6. Compliance Team might most likely reject your request if you want to travel, holiday or going to your home country lol, isn’t that funny 7. Lastly, if you think you know book like some of us and you come here, just dead the idea that you will score 86 and above. If you doubt anything I said, kindly reach out to “any other person” studying at Ulster University Birmingham/London 1 Like |

I think it depends on where you are, plus that time frame you are in is called struggle period. Don’t be too hard on yourself, give it time and you’d be fine. I have been saying this since 2019, whenever you are considering Germany have an Active plan B. I did a year of studies “in Nigeria” MSc at the University of Trier and still did not get an appointment till I relocated to the Uk. Getting my money out from the blocked account was not an easy feat. So guys reason am ooh. Got a younger sister who has been in Germany since 2016 and still tells me how difficult it is to get a job without “fluent German”. She had study hard to B2 level even with an MSc to get a job. Some of you will say it’s easy Okay na lol. One thing I found out is that the best thing is to pick your struggle and face it. Back and forth makes it worrisome. If you are in Germany, make it work. Most of these developed countries are similar, you’d have to work hard prayerfully to make it your promise land. All the best Patriots Hgf1: 2 Likes |

It’s when some of these ladies reach here they would then appreciate Nigerian men more. All those free outing ends at Muritala Mohammed. Foreign men hardly date Nigerian ladies which is quite strange cos you’d think they’d be head over heels over you cos of the “glutes”. One thing I’d like to add is that regardless, it’s easy to approach women here. You might not just have the time to do a lot of it. I went on multiple dates with a teacher in a school I do cleaning. (This can never happen in Nigeria) Like OP said, Nigerians need to do better to have a good image, treat people well and don’t be too desperate. The Jamo girls I meet would say the Nigerian men here are the ones spreading STDs and just with them for papers. They do like us to be honest but that stereotype lingers (fraud and papers). Met a Brit Nigerian girl we had a nice time but I didn’t want to date her and she was confused. Not everybody will chose papers over peace of mind. She was just too wild hence I aborted the mission to date her. Personally, I am leaning towards the Jamaican girls. They have been the sweetest beings I have met in my life. They treat you nice and cook like goddesses. My advice is that don’t mess with their emotions because they just normally have a dead beat Dad, women are better off than men in Jamaica. Again, not all but most. If you are a funny guy particularly in the Uk, you can have any girl you want. I’d say that again “ANY” Nigerians, please be a good example wherever you are until you change citizenship abeg. God bless Africa uche87: 4 Likes 1 Share |

‘John Randle’ was a Doctor from Sierra Leone that worked in Lagos as a Politician around 1920s Get your facts right Sir. Again I’d still say that we have exceptional Yorubas that could have been used instead of John Randle. I’d might seem irrelevant but in a few years, nobody would link a Yoruba center to John Randle. Some other tribes in this country would never do this, just so you know. omonnakoda: 1 Like |

I made sure the money did not come back to Nigeria because I knew it would lose value. Hence I wrote to them them I wanted it to be transferred to a foreign account (in Germany) Disclaimer: Please don’t do this if it is not a trusted family member or friend. You will do a video interview to be sure you are not under duress or something then show your passport. I.e fintiba It is faster to get the money out if it is send to another account within Germany. Outside Germany (Naira) takes longer. I’d also like to say that the account I sent it to later got blocked due to large transactions. I had already gotten out all the money by then. I hope this helps. omosebi1: |

Personally, I will not advise you to go to Teesside. The Uni isn’t that rated plus management isn’t that great. I applied there and even paid fees but had to request for a refund. 1. Reference relating to what? I did not get any ‘academic’ reference while applying to Teesside. I only used the one from my work place. 2. There are plenty jobs available. Truth is you’d need your NI and sometimes the DBS before you get a job. This may or may not take time. 3. I went for an MBA at Ulster University. It’s okay no exam essays and test. My advice, if you have a career you are looking into. Do a masters in that line. I have heard cases of boys that went to do an advanced computer science MSc all in the name they want to japa without having the prerequisite ; good knowledge of coding. one major issue we have as a nation is that we don’t have career counselors, this will help a lot so we no go dey waste time doing trial and error with our life. moshuur: |
