The bolded is a lie

Secondary school education in Britain is BY FAR better than that of Nigeria

Sam Sam

No basis for comparison at all

Like for like
Or anyhow sef

HustlaOfLagos:
LOL

I went to private schools in Naija for Primary, Secondary and Uni. Just continue to dey cap there, you hear?

When you are done, you will come and explain to me why the students that came to my school in Naija from the UK all seemed to lag behind and struggle but went on to do well later after returning to their countries while the ones who left Naija for the UK never had the same issues. In actual fact, my brother's son in the US mentioned to me that their education is a lot slower and they are being taught things he already learnt in lower classes in Naija.

What I described above was the case in secondary school and Uni although the Indian ones in primary school didn't have that issue (including Sneha wey lie say na me break her hand ). The Chinese and Russians sending them to Uni in the UK does not prove anything

Now, I am not saying schools in the UK are not good but downplaying the rigorous nature of Naija schools which prepare you to easily acclimatize elsewhere, I will not have that.

RodgersAkpafu:
You are the one capping

As one who went to school in both countries

I KNOW that the difference is clear

Have a conversation with a year 10 student here and compare it with an SS2 equivalent in Nigeria

NO BASIS for comparison. at all at all..

And btw let's compare like for like

Winchester and Eton vs Any school in Nigeria

then public schools in the worst areas of this country vs same in Nigeria

or even in between
There is no basis for comparison

Rote memorisation is NOT education

Lets not even start with university education

I had two degrees in Nigeria and two here in Britain

The difference is clear

Na suffer suffer mentality wey don damage una na im dey make you think say Nigerian school system is better


The only two areas that I believe some UK schools no dey try is letting the kids do what they like, (in the sense of allowing them just be and picking their way, instead of goading to fields that will help them)
and
Behaviour (some trusts don't really care about behaviour in the schools that fall under them)

As for content and structure of education

FORGET IT

HustlaOfLagos:
Didnt read all that but OK

RodgersAkpafu:
Wasn't for you

You wont understand it if you read it

The message was for the wider audience

Peace ✌️

You're very right, that's the only minus in the education here, but all you said earlier is very true. The UK education or in the western world, is geared towards critical thinking and personal confidence. That's where we Nigerians are confused thinking the learning here is behind what is being taught back in Nigeria. My wife is a teacher, and she tells me these things. For example, in early childhood education, it is more about social interactions and environmental awareness; that's why you see the kids spend more time outside to know more about nature than in the classroom, but if na naija dem go force dem dey write number 1-1000 by force by fire . Honestly, I prefer the education system here and that's why you see a 20-year-old in the corporate sector able to pitch a presentation confidently before Senior Management, unlike Naija, where person go dey shake make e no make mistake. e clear o make we no lie!

RodgersAkpafu:
My stint in the classroom when I was hustling as a student really opened my eyes

Even me learnt so much because I used to read the textbooks they leave behind, plus the PowerPoint slides on the Arbor (for those who have worked school before, we know what that is)

I wanted to flog my chemistry and physics teachers after I read the chemistry and physics text books here
and even assisted a few teachers with the students

That's how a Nigerian will tell me Nigerian own is better

Funny

The only thing I didn't like was that IF a student doesn't wanna be serous with his life, they will just leave him to his devices (its the parents wahala not theirs)

But a Nigerian teacher will still try because we are a communal people

This is what they can learn from us

But apart from that
Gba gbe

It's because of the agreed societal philosophy that no human should live his or her life subject to the dictates of his fellow human, which is good despite its downside.

Hello house, I'm reaching out for advice. my brother in law recently obtained UK citizenship, and his partner in Nigeria has given birth to a baby. They are planning to join him in the UK next year, he is trying to put things in place because he is currently separated( divorced ) from previous wife. Can he apply for British citizenship for his baby while they're still in Nigeria? Note my uncle got his citizen before the baby was born. what visa would be the best option for his baby to join him in the UK? I know the wife is a family visa through Spousa Visa after court marriage, but the baby can he apply for a citizen ?I'd appreciate any guidance on this matter. Thank you

Bruh! Now what you said about using a home address as the primary place of business makes total sense. I’d (wrongly) assumed from the outset that anything linking the company to myself would be flagged as malpractice by HO, so I’ve done everything to distance myself from the entire thing thus far. What a shame!

Throughout my research, I’ve (again, injudiciously) disregarded content from immigration lawyers/experts. Anyways, my eyes are wide open now. The shock i dey feel no even wan make my brain process this wonderful news you tell me just now.

Yes, id assumed Monzo wouldn't bother to verify the other director if I had 100% of the shares.

Thanks a lot for your helpful response. For real, you're the best for this! Mad respect, bro!

Modified: @Brine Since I’m now getting closer to the sponsor licence application, I’m wondering what I’ll need from my AO. Will I need their ID, proof of address or any signed letter of consent? I’ve read through the gov.uk stuff but I want to understand how it works in practice, especially what the HO actually checks or requests from the AO during the application. Also do you know if I need to get a liability insurance for the company?

Make dem no sack my MP o 😂 we no go gree!

bigtt76:
What if a dependent on SWV is the one running the company and wants to use this as a vehicle to sponsor the main applicant to maintain the continuous path to ILR?

That is - if the dependent is the director and self-sponsor, they lose the accumulated years to ILR and would have to restart counting?

brine:
Hmmn, I don't think that would be termed as "self-sponsorship" since the COS won't be issused to the company's director. But if you’re asking whether it can work: yes. I’ve seen small tech startups obtain a sponsor licence and successfully sponsor non-director employees.

You go gree this one o

I liked her last speech though .. but it seems they want someone else to represent them

New immigration statement of changes published yesterday btw

brine:
No worries bruv . Yes, you need to have Employers liability. I paid Axa £100.89 last year for up to £10,000,000. Pls see image below.

You don't need anything from the AO at this point. In my case, I had a copy of their ID and utility bill with me but HO never requested for any of those documents. Just remeber that it's the AO that submits the application and signs where necessary. So, when emailing your documents to HO, it needs to be from the AO's email address.

And you said Nigerian education is "better" than UK education

Just look at how you are embarrassing yourself here smh

📢 UK Government: "PSW/Graduate route to be cut from 24 months to 18 months for applications on or after January 1, 2027"

Other changes include
- Increased financial requirement for student visas
- Increased English requirement for skilled worker and other routes

Je ne sais pas.
You could try increasing your sample size though... E.g. kids and other relatives of colleagues, friends, township members etc...you might find the Suelette,Kemi, Judas you're looking for.

Goke7:
As usual the changes only impact hard working and law abiding immigrants while illegal ones or refugees don’t need A level English requirements to either enter or remain in the country. Abeg next base jare!
