It is just wise not to derail this thread (pun intended tongue ) it shld rather be asked on the student thread.

However, I think your best bet will be to focus on the data analytics as you can easily get a tech company that will offer you sponsorship with that than with international business. Also, you might want to enrol for a bootcamp course in data analysis to give you edge in the “favour” market

Are there any prospects? or things I can do to boost my chances?

Considering my luggage, I hope going underground wont be such a big stress

It would be stressful so start bracing yourself for that if you using the train

Alternatively check national express bus and use the bus to Victoria and then direct to Dorchester

There is a reason why the bible says that judgment will start from the church.

check buses/coach
They leave directly from heathrow terminals, one change and there’s time inbetween so you wont be struggling per say unlike carrying luggage through underground and then trying to catch a train

You can boost your chances by doing a SQL Server Database Course and pass an introductory SQL Certification exam before you leave Nigeria.

Marriage is indeed a mixture of luck & gamble........ cheesy

Marriage is a case of shopping in the dark as you do not know what you are getting LONG TERM - similar to buying non testing goods.

ALL humans change with time and your amenable wife / husband at year 0 WILL not be the same person in 5 years time and will have changed further in year 10 and if you have the rose tinted view like most of us had when we are young that this your lover will remain the same till death do you part, you most likely will be unpleasantly shocked at the changes that happen to a marriage and its participants with the passage of time and the stresses of life and child rearing.

Someone once said that for your marriage to work, you have to be prepared that you are marrying 3 or 4 different people rolled into one - as that single partner of yours will change character many times in your marriage.

That's what the original article of association stated.. When mugus started putting in a lot of first fruits, they amended the documents. Hence, you now see a lot of pastors in one single family because when the woleader got the calling, the rest of family joined the conference call.

Our ogas and madams in the UK..

Bikonu, ejoor , make una dey tell us some of the dos and donts to observe in the UK, make person no enter wahala.

1. Don't claim benefits you are not entitled to from the Govt as it may take 25 years to find out but they probably will and even if they don't you don't want to make a habit of taking what you are not entitled to.

2. Always pay your taxes as tax evasion carries a 5 year prison sentence.

3. The less the number of Nigerian friends you have the better for you.

4. Save, save and save to get a deposit to buy your own house (Mortgage) as all rent is waste and your propert(ies) will serve as a good source of pension and wealth in future.

5. IF you ever need to flog your errant school age pikin, make sure it is on the palm.

6. Not sure if you are a man but if you are, NEVER hit a woman.

7. You can go to prison for 8 years if your wife says get up and you say wait till I finish as from the point you carry on regardless, it is called marital rape.

8. Don't drink and drive or drive withouth insurance as if you hav an accident in such circumstances, you will be jailed. Also do not drive if you have been banned from driving.

9. Don't listen to ANY Nigerian who tries to teach you ways to beat the system (e.g fiddle with your electric meter) or make easy money as any easy money comes with a greater than 50% probability that you will end up in jail.

10. If you have a son in the UK, just know that black boys are picked on by the UK educational system and learn to do your own research / tough love at home and not believe everything negative they say about your son.

Its hard to explain and whilst I hate to tar all Nigerians in the UK with the same brush, when you hear of cases when a pastors wife's credit card was stolen from right inside her bag in the church sanctuary, it tells you that some people can be so bold in their criminality and there are a caliber of Nigerians in the UK that had no transferable skills to bring to the UK from Naija but they managed to get a visa during the Non Appearance Visa regime some years ago and these people will obviously gravitate to crime plus a lot of Nigerians have a penchant for not telling the truth.

It took me a little while to decode what you meant but I get it now.

Really customers striking back or most likely a street guy targeting the fact that people drop their guards and bags in the church thinking that churches are one of the safest places to be.
