Read this before embarking on a journey to United Kingdom England, before selling your land, car and other valuables and paying tuition fees of almost 18,000 pounds or more which today in Nigeria exchange rate is approximately 14,000,000 million naira. Think very well. we all know Nigeria is bad, insecurity and poor basic amenities and all. We have not even added accommodation and the frustration that comes with except you willing to stay in a University accommodation which is cheaper you be paying nothing less than 10,000 pounds at least 8,000,000 naira, have not added feeding now that's almost 30,000,000 naira all in total to come for a Master program just 1 year. that's not chicken change that's huge.

Now once you done you entitled to a 2 years post study visa where the UK government gives you time within the 2 years to get a job or else we be welcoming you back to Nigeria. Now the issue here is not you getting a job, there are lots of job in the UK, most companies are not ready to sponsor you for a tier 2 visa to work, infact even if you make it through the first stage and you been ask if you have the right to work and your reply is you will need a sponsor you might not hear from them again.

Its so unfair to international students that pay huge amount of money for tuition fees to come here and not getting any company to offer you tier 2 sponsorship letter most end up either enrolling back into the system taking a Phd programme paying another huge sum of money just to remain in the Uk, which is very sad, some even leave their degree and end up in care homes taking care of elderly people, mentally unstable people which you might be subjected to either been kicked, insulted and so on.

I think the school agents of this schools should inform students before embarking on a journey, where job is not guarantee and not just concern about hitting sales. Also discrimination, and pretence. i think Canada is better off in my own opinion. just think and way your options before u jakpa and come back to square 1. All this money if you have it please kindly invest back home because i see it has just wasting it over there.

Good advice but certainly not a one advice that fits all.

One might just be tempted to finally admit that indeed school is scam after adding up all the amount you quoted up there.

After all, is set and done, the only thing most people will take out from this one-way style of education is how to graduate, find a 9-5 job, earn a salary, and get a mortgage to buy a house while also paying off study loans.


The whole thing get as e be joor

You talk well in one aspect but not a good talk for many of us...him get plenty reason

Q

A child who has never left his father's compound will think his father's own is the biggest. I'm saying this in the context of Africa because Nigerians have this superiority complex towards other African countries not knowing many of them have surpassed Nigeria in many ways e.g. security, education, way of life etc..

Countries like Ghana, Benin Republic, Rwanda, Kenya, South Africa, Gambia, Cape Verde etc.. the few Nigerians who go to these countries, go there and start displaying foolish arrogance like we are better than them.. like how do you flee your own country that has failed you, yet have the audacity to look down on your fellow Africans who are doing better?

Instead of being humble and relocating to African, Latin American or Carribean countries that are safer & more economically prosperous, Nigerians will instead
seperate from their families, sell their properties, take everything they've laboured for and go and submit it into the hands of the UK government only to get sent back to Nigeria empty handed with a useless degree.

The Nigerians who are enjoying UK today are;
- children (first generation) of those who settled here in the 80s/90s/early 2000s.
- Medical professionals like doctors, nurses.
- Students who come with a 'dependent' spouse who can work while the other studies.

Most single students & every other category of immigrants will unfortunately fall into the carefully crafted scam - the UK immigration policy.

but if you look critically you can save up part of full money invested in the schooling by working full-time during the PSW so as worst you will not land Nigeria emptying handed ! everything na risk and reward no making any moves is also a risk !

And Nigeria isn't debt ridden?

Ghana is one of the safest countries in Africa, you can move freely at night, travel to all regions without fear.
Their police isn't brutal like those uniformed animals in Nigeria. Their schools and universities are decent, their cultural and moral values far better.
They do not have fulanis looting their country dry, killing & kidnapping the locals while a fulani Nigerieen president is busy siphoning funds to Niger Republic.

Ghana is better than Nigeria for the most part.

You generalised a lot in this post, I know at least two couples on student visa struggling now, one has ended their marriage.

You failed to mention the cause of what you falsely called a scam, Nigerians scammed themselves and not the British government, Nigerians that came here with no plan and no money to survive, they used untouchable money to get a visa hoping to work and study full time to survive.

If you japa with no brain you get crushed, don’t blame anyone apart from yourself.

a mortgage house in UK costs around 250,000 pounds to 300,000 pounds that's roughly 240,000,000 million naira. paying debts for how long.

Nigeria has a bigger business environment ,more employment opportunities and cheaper cost of living and a larger economy . I wonder if tinibu,akpabio ibori Alam ,dezani are now Fulani the entire money looted in Abia state was taken by fulani If you want to wipe up tribalism and stupidity why not go to political section

as a suggestion I think more discussion on the reality should be on the travel section . a lot of banks and travel agent are misleading and making money from the POF thing .! I am surprised that a person refused to share the risk associated with low funds and huge hope ! Student visa is not japa visa .Japa in the 90 means thing like work visa , immigration visa etc.!

Majorly 80% of Nigerians actually knew what they are signing in for...

After spending 15m_20m to study in the UK... that doesn't guarantee a work permit

Just think about it...
You graduate as a Nigerian and other nationality with the locals...

Now you want to compete job with a UK graduate
Northern American students
China and Japan graduate
Some African students

Now how sure the UK company will ignore this people and pick you...

Tho some possess extraordinary skills in their field and outstanding excellence result... so this people may stand out tho...

But what about an average graduate...
So next option is to return home or settle for 10pound an hour...

So if you think it's fine by you...go ahead and apply
And if you think about your unborn kids... you may go ahead regardless

big scam. Look at the stats 300k student visas and 5k work visas. Although I would say they cannot contain all but why guarantee students of jobs when you are not ready to sponsor them. The jobs are there but they would train their citizens in bootcamps to come and do them.

I'm not sure you visit this section a lot of read student visa thread at all because this topic is a heated one yearly, you will be called all sorts of names just for tell prospective students to prepare well and lower their expectations, you will hear things like: Stop discouraging us, Nigerians are smart they will survive, God's grace differs..bla bla bla..

Confirm. People would not understand till they experience. No opportunities at all. Uk is a land of opportunities but for whom they wish to give. Opportunities would just be staring you on the face but you can't partake unless you fight thrice than other Asian and European nationality.

psw is a trap. Trust me it would leave you broke. Unless you land a good job. There is no guarantees that your visa would extended to a work visa.
