hah you haven't seen cold yet.... cold that entered the bone. here no body sends you. it's like a crime to dash someone money. you have to work for it.. landlord will not released houses for those who aren't working n earning 2k pounds per month But people are surviving! So I still keep my eyes open. Given the opportunity, I'll never look back

fullclub:


and i have 12 months to complete a programme. i have over 9000 pounds to pay as school fees.

the 3000 dollars i came with is almost exhausted. on expenses trying to settle in

school on my neck

i have a friend in Middlesbrough whose school wants to throw out this month end if he didn't pay some percentage of fees by month end

Ekpekus:

You lay the bed you currently lie on.
One of the greatest disservice you can do to yourself is not pay your fees in full (knowing fully well your stay is tied to your student visa)
Even if you start working today, with other bills like rent, transportation and feeding, how would you raise the 9k without your studies being affected?

fullclub:


if you can be paying 1k pounds or even 500 pounds... they will calm down...


the issue na to see job... if i can see job today then i will be able to raise 500 in a month

i just said let me share my thoughts on uk to Nigerians selling their houses to come..


i need no pity..



but to tell the true situation.

a lot of Nigerians are here struggling with same issues

we only want to heat the positive side but am sharing honest opinion and a' clear warning to Nigerians planing to sell properties to come here.

and those on the application process to think twice... except they have their fees plus house rent and upkeep money running into 35 million to 40 million else stay back

Ekpekus:

Oga, how much do you think you will earn monthly as a student? Abi na full time job you dey find?
Even at that, being practical, how much are you looking at earning per month? Subtract your rent, transport and feeding from it, I did not add phone bills and other smaller miscellaneous o, how much would be left?
Finally, you think the school dey collect fees like say na crayfish dem dey sell? If you dey pay 500/ month, na 18 months to pay the 9k o

fullclub:



i have job that pay me 800 pounds.. from Nigeria. i have my dependant.
my thoughts was that i can pay my fees from that and use my 20 hours pay rent then anything my dependant bring will be surplus.

yes school collects fees like that

i understand that Nigerians dont like any negative stories about abroad.
that was what i and my flatmate who sold his cars and house was saying this evening.
that returning to Nigeria now.. that Nigerians will say he is lazy that he rather die here.

i am putting this here for those who thought that they can navigate their way if they come here and they can see job in weeks. its a lie... 3 months don't be surprised nothing. i mean even the care job where they pack shit from old people. the places don full

Ekpekus:

No, you are not saying reality but in an attempt to circumvent a better plan, you landed yourself in a tight corner... so no amount of explanation would hold water... if you had your fees as shown in your account statement presented for CAS, we won't be having this discussion.

can you boast of 25 million?

about 95% never had that full fees..

if they have it not up to 50 Nigerians will travel for school abroad

Ekpekus:

That is not the point. Did you see the school fees before you applied to the school? Were they cheaper alternative for you? Did you see the requirements by the visa office for your student visa? Did you meet such requirements?
These are questions that should have been considered before embarking in this journey. So, the advise would have been, counting the cost before movement. From the conversation so far, it is indicative that you didn't do that.

Dude we know all that and that was why i asked you the very first question.

You have been in nairaland for 8yrs plus and we have been warning people like you about using untouchable loan to get a visa then travel with little or nothing but still people still do it and then open a thread like this to cry a river.

This is self inflected injury and you should blame yourself for this.

fullclub:
my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.

fullclub:



i repeat stop sounding official.

about 98% of Nigerians who travel through school don't have this fee.

those who went last year and upper year... like 3 contact i have. how they were able to navigate.
they talked about pof and how they navigate.

and many of them are assuring others to take this deadly steps for few gains

enticing Nigerians..


this post is to tell others my experience here for the past one month.
it has been a bitter experience

i am warning those who don't have the complete fees.. please i beg u don't enter one chance.
even if u raise the 25 m please have extra

The cheapest uk uni fee is 15m... the least.. the average is 20m.
10k pounds time 1500 is 15m... and they are few and competitive . others falls between 14 to 17k pounds. the uk government allow uni to double fees from abroad student. if home pays 7k.. foreign pay 14 or 17k

fullclub:


in fact i have spent 500k trying to get a certification that i am not sure will yield result.


i am saying this for those who are home not to sell their property.

to save them from impending loses

jesmond3945:
i dont how good your cv is. Your wife should be the one looking for job to support becuase she works full time. You have to restrategize, try to get contact of people to give you link. In uk there is who you know things. Most importantly God

jesmond3945:
the property is even loosing value

fullclub:


i have been making contact. most agency even asking for more money like 200 pounds etc.

Ekpekus:

Now you have followed the short cut of the 98% (according to your statistics-with no evidence) and you are at the verge currently.
I believe there are post on NL in the past that candidly advised on the need of getting at least the school fees settled as a student but then you would have brushed that aside with the saying " make we reach there first, we go rough am". Na the roughing we dey see so.
So, the take home from this situation is to candidly advise people to at least get their fees paid.
Anyway, I wish you all the best and hope you find a job soon that can alleviate the current predicament.

which city are you at?

i recently placed a land with foundation for 9m but no buyer yet... even if i sell it and change it to pounds how much nko

Taal17:
Well at least you're sharing the reality.
I repeat you can not PAY school fees on student visa with 20hours work. If that was possible then even UK citizens won't take loans to go to school.

School fees are paid in installments and they will keep to those deadlines. Your visa and that of your dependent is TIED to your continued stay in school.

Work is based on location too so you may want to consider looking for work online or your dependent moving to where there are more jobs.

Winter is coming and bills will increase.

If either of you get a job you can consider getting a loan or credit card to pay some bills..

Lastly you can always return..there is no shame in returning. Don't dig your self in a whole.
When you make a mistake you can retrace your steps that itself is growth.

fullclub:


let me be plain. have you seen anyone that have paid their fees upfront? except a guy i saw that said he did paid his upfront on nairaland.

i repeat have u seen any that paid his fee upfront, if you have, how many have u come across?

fullclub:


i have been making contact. most agency even asking for more money like 200 pounds etc.

Taal17:

No need to argue
There are plenty who pay their school fees upfront. Schools take installments too. You on the other didn't pay anything at ALL that's the issue.
More people are struggling with paying living expenses and second installment of school fees.
You sef no say you no try rara

Spend your energy on finding how to eat, bills increase as it gets colder

jesmond3945:
you would get a job soon come back and give your testimony

fullclub:


you know what.. giving honest opinion based on abroad is not welcome by Nigerians.

this is why most students when i talk about returning they said they rather die here sleeping in library.

we where 19 people September in Lagos airport coming to London on student route and we shared contact... they are on same boat...no show... non paid their complete fees.. i would have come back but hearing their complain about shame of what Nigerians not hearing their storey.

check the students page ane see people saying they have paid deposit. why didn't they pay full?

justwise:


You got the visa because you presented bank statement showing that you have all your school fees and maintenance money.

So where is that money?

tensazangetsu20:


Men don't come back to Naija without a solid plan. The news I hear from Nigeria is something else. You should have gone to another country. That 13 million will pay fees and living expenses in another country and you won't be stressed.

fullclub:


Thanks bro.
even tomorrow i will be sending 10 pounds to a student who said he doesn't have anything to eat.
terrible story. I just plan on returning back to start my data analysis course, doing R and completing other courses that gives me joy than the pain and anguished.


which country, please list
