Bros Olabode, Finland schools just dey fall my hand o, I have to appeal my rejection at Helsinki and UEF is also rejecting me stating that "The two most common reasons for rejection were one or both of the following:

· University Admission Finland did not receive applicant's proof of English language proficiency, the proof provided did not correspond to our admission criteria or the test result was insufficient.
· The applicant's previous academic studies did not correspond to the content of our Master's programme, and the motivation letter or the recommendation letter did not succeed in convincing us otherwise".

Even with and 7.5 IELTS score. Now I'm left with Turku and Oulo.

Meanwhile, I got conditionally admitted (because tuition is required) to Uppsala University in Sweden and has been placed on a reserve list for tuition scholarship. What will be your advice should I get the tuition scholarship at Uppsala. If I have to choose between Sweden and Finland, what should it be? Thanks Boss.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:


Wtf! Are you for real? Shit! That's about 100% increase. This na f up o. No lele sha. But is the insurance not meant to be for a year?
I just got my official admission letter from Jyväskylä by the way.

i have the ffg qualifications, HND, PGD and MBA. with 10 yesrs working experience.

thanks all.

SCHOOLDROPOUT:


Ehnehn. Wetin make you talk so boss? Shey person no still fit blow enter Canada after Msc? Abehg, advise us make we for no stray cos Finland don dey dey my mind wella o. Lol. I still get three more admissions wey I dey expect for Canada sehf and e get one wey I turn down for Belgium too

SCHOOLDROPOUT:

Best of luck bro. Positive outcome it

Amen bro...thanks

Person fit blow enter Canada... But y d long thing if you fit enter Canada direct and early?

Finland dey very cool, nice and quiet peeps. The economy of the country is currently stagnant, less jobs are available.

I have a conspiracy theory that peeps that are not Finnish or From EU countries are pegged by the system. I have been here since August and i never see any African with correct job... Although i stay in Tampere and not Helsinki which is the capital and main City.

If you are a hustler with little future career aspirations Finland is fine for you... Cleaning, dish washing, postal delivery and other blue collar jobs can fetch you around 2000 euros per month if you work wella like machine.

The Finnish language is also another factor... Last month alone the language issh messed up some opportunies for me.

Another very important point... If you are a german German hustler abeg no go sign housing contract o... The best option will be for you to find a naija person that you can stay with for around 3 months pending when you get a job.

I will drop more issh as i remember.

Very insightful! Thanks baba. However, I intend to attempt both. Just don't want to toss all eggs in Basket. I fit go overhope on top maple, Make e go fall through. For German German level, I no go mind o. How person go go about not signing contract. Shey na person from naija person go follow share accomodation or person wey don dey there.
Last bomb, abehg, you go advise make person chill back if person get scholarship till PhD level for him Alma mater? With very small stipend o and free accomodation for Naija.

Concerning the future aspirations, man no wan turn underachiever o. But I dey see Finland as means to an end sha. Abehg, help us clear more.

anniekoko:
hi katolistic, thanks for the link! Does it mean that you do not need to physically visit the Finnish embassy in abuja if you apply and finish everything online?

olabode89:


I like you already!

You be smart dude... If you plan on doing a PhD then you nor get wahala... You go get opportunities allover the world after your MSc for Finland so no need to stay back for naija.

Concerning the accomodation stuff... The wahala b say if u dey on germo level and u nor see job to pay rent wey b between 150 to 350 euros fit give man mental problem o. No worry when you decide on where to go for Finland at least boys on Nairaland dey Tampere, Oulu, Espoo and Jyvaskyla dem go surely fit accomodate one person for 3 months. Na make d person fit comport well b d koko. I was very lucky... I got a dude that is now like a brother to me that accomodated me for 6 months!

So no worry better peeps still dey.

But if you get enough bar you can gey your own place at around 200 euros and spend 100 euros monthly on maintenance. No clubbing and shayo o. Lolz

Lol no mind my lingua... Germo level refers to a situation where a person does not have enough funds for upkeep and other expenses but they are super brave, optimistic and tough as nails. They hope to get a part time job ASAP to pay bills. A typical person on germo or german german level can leave naija with anything between 100 to 1000 euros
