I didn’t call him names, my expression about him isn’t an insult, it’s just an expression of how he reacts. I didn’t call him names, he only irritated me with his questions and his intentions were to mock me.

Irritated, that’s fine. Just ignore. Life no hard. If you ask me, I like people that are blunt because it’s always hard to forget what they tell you because of the small anger inside you when it was said.

It is well. Just take your time, God go show you the light.

Bingo!! Here we go, this is what happens when you cheat yourself thinking that you are smart by using untouchable loan to get a visa

I will keep saying it and i couldn't give a rat backside what some of you think about me.

Don't come to the UK if you are not financially prepared, at least for the first 3months, by then you are familiar with few things and get a job to survive.

Ask those encouraging you to go ahead with this perilous journey to accommodation for one night, just a night.

You are not wrong with this. However, what Nigeria has turned to in the last 2 to 3 years is best left unsaid. Only those of us that came into the UK in last 1 or 2 years can relate. It is now at a point where you said N5k or N10k gift to someone for and you are told to your face you have no shame (na before dem go talk am for your back. Lol). So everyone is just looking for a way out as long as they get something doing and making a meaning out of their lives. You can't blame them. I won't support getting it legally tho (whether using a blocked loan amount to apply for visa is legal or not is another topic) My wife was without job for 3 years in Naija after countless applications and she joined me as a dependant and got 2 during her 14 day quarantine. So the advice of people getting money for 3 months to settle in May not go down well with some people have trying so hard to get tuition and paying visa fees despite the challenges.

I just like that you have called out the fact that people need finances to settle in for the first few months especially in cases where they don't have people here to support them. So you have done your bit.

This is a forum, once a person seeks other people's opinion about something, he should not be biased in the way he takes peoples responses. It is usually good to have a balanced view. In the end, taking the decision lies with him. Attacking a particular person makes it look like you have put someone in mind waiting to explode.

I stayed in Airbnb for 1month, beginning of second month, I no see house rent, I just called the owner of the Airbnb house and we signed agreement for short term let for 6months. I can’t be stressing myself plus class and family. The owner was very fair and his price was okay compared to what I had I see online, plus it was a complete apartment (well furnished).

A bit of tip....Look for school with lesser school fees, affordable city and go for Jan admission.

Jan starts have longer visa duration and holiday, so you will have 2 summer holidays while Sept starts have one and shorter visa duration.

Look for schools with such time table...it will be outlined on their websites

Thanks this insight cheesy cheesy

I saw a post on Facebook.... an indian (not that the nationality matters) came here with student visa T4, he immediately hussled and got a care job and switched to T2 visa. I thought I seen it here that its not possible and you had to complete the school

But No, his T2 was approved this week. I didn't know that was possible so hey students shine your eyes ooo. This guy got his visa so he has switched from T4 to T2 without completing the degree

Justwise I don't intend to break any rules ooo but information is power hence why I am posting this

I did too. Only that my uni then required me to get a letter from my employer stating they are happy for me to remain a full time student on a tier 2 visa and my employer willingly did that. In fact, the HR asked me to write what I wanted to be sent to my school, I drafted the mail and sent, they just sent forwarded it exactly how I drafted it, only that they used a letter headed paper.

Hi bro (judging by prince in your name)

I like you managed the situation. Are you interested in being the next prime minister of the UK. If you are then, let me know and we will arrange it.

The prime minister’s seat will be vacant next month. We can get you there. Don’t worry about campaign money, we go collect small from Tinubu bullion van.

No doubt things are hard in Nigeria, i just came back from Nigeria but this is what i don't get.....if you have 7M naira or more ready to pay for foreign education and you failed to plan how to make the most of your money here then you are not smart .

If somebody is angry because i said that people should come with at least 3months worth of cash to survive here then i couldn't careless.

Thank you.

I actually heard it isn’t easy to get an accommodation from Nigeria, how true is this? Do you need to be there first and must you pay 6 months upfront ?

Took some time and patience but I finally got mine. You're a student so should be look for house shares. Look on spare room and Zoopla and just keep messaging. Cast a wide net. Like others said getting a free accommodation won't work. I'm going with a very tight budget myself but I know how i'll survive first 2 months just plan better, take a breath and be strategic.

A lot of our people don't like hearing the truth ( when truth is told the next thing is sadist, hater, you are jealous) , later when the hardship hit or they fall out of status they then wish someone has advised them properly before they came .

Justwise means no harm, he saying it as it it. Which is, without sufficient money it is very difficult in the UK. My advice is relax and plan accordingly

This is why its good to ask question and get detailed answers...from your screenshot it shows that you were at the last stage of your masters program and they wanted you to complete your study before starting the job.

So its not the same as someone who just landed and decided to switch to work visa
