Thank you. The money has not gone below the required amount. I was just worried because the money had been in the account for 40days now. So I can just print from the last 28days since i have the required amount still intact in the account?.
Print for the last 40 days if you wish.. it’s fine.
In fact, you can print a 3 month statement. Just be sure that if the UKVI people count down 28 days, there will not be any point the money was below the required .

Paid your first year fees of 5500gbp for a master course in full, travel to the uk on student visa to work almost full time for two years in order to raise cash to stand a better chance to apply for a canadian or Australian student visa or migrate else where before your student Brp expires.What is the possibility of raising 10000gbp in 16months working almost full time since you are not concerned about the uk degree.Advise needed please.Thanks.
1. Work almost full time on a tier 4 visa?
You’ve never heard of the 20 hour per week limit have you?

2. You do all that illegality. You apply to Canadaor Australia, they refuse your application. Your UK BRP expires, you return back to Nigeria. Worst off than you started. Or, you remain in the UK illegally. Life becomes difficult. You begin to do drugs. You are caught. You go to prison.

Unless if he wants to break the law , which is not advisable.



MaEssien:
Thanks for the quick response..
He is looking at accommodation not above £350, bills inclusive.. And yes a shared flat..
His studies from Oct to Dec is twice weekly. One has to be in class and the other can be online, I guess that's why the friend suggested Coventry..
Can you pls suggest areas he can look through if Coventry is far to London. And also work smiley


If by UCL you mean University College London then Coventry is NOT close to London.

“Cheap” accommodation is relative. What is Cheap for a Tertfund scholar may be expensive for a PTDF scholar...etc

Type of accommodation required matters too.
Is your hubby looking for a room in a shared flat? Or he wants a flat?

But on a general note, the closer to central London (zones 1 and 2), the more expensive accommodation is.

If you provide more details, you will receive better advice.

You want to have an interview with an artiste. You tell him his song is not genius. The artist thanks you, and tell you that’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. Does that not end it?

Why was the silly Victor insisting? So he wanted Skales to agree with His own opinion that the song is whacked?

Skales was over patient with the guy. Over over patient.

However this guy convinced her that it was okay to come to his place meaning that it was not her idea In the first place
Try and be more civil in your comments and read posts to the end before making silly Conclusions.  
Was there anywhere I said I entered university?
Did I claim to have written and passed the god dammned WAEC?

She said she has been flexing Abuja previously, and met Seyi at a Garden. You were too daft to read that one?

It was after readin to the end that I saw she had a place to go at Karu....Karu.
If you know Abuja, you would have known that after hiring a taxi from Airport, to WUSE, all she needed may have been to add 1k, or even 500 to that same taxi man and she would have got to Karu.
Plus, why didn’t she ask Seyi to come help take her straight to Karu?

YOU ARRIVED ABUJA AT 11PM.
Even got to Wuse, from the airport.
And it was FLIGHT yo took to Abuja.
Even if it was 2am, you will still get cars going to Nyanya-Maraba.

Plus, you could easily take “drop “ for less than 1,000 naira to Nyanya.
But no! You called someone who you claimed to be your friend, who stays AFTER Apo.
From Apo to Wuse is almost same as from Wuse to Nyanya.

CrimeIsrael Ogunsola, Nigerian Stabbed To Death In London (Photos) by RalphJean(op): 4:15pm On Apr 05, 2018
A teenager stabbed to death in north-east London on Wednesday night has been named as Israel Ogunsola. His death, together with the death of a man in his 50s, takes the capital’s suspected murder toll to more than 50 in just three months.

The teenager died in the shadow of a railway bridge on Link Street at the junction with Morning Lane in Hackney at 8.24pm, about half an hour after being stabbed and despite the efforts of a police officers, paramedics and a trauma doctor from London’s air ambulance.

“The policewoman’s arms were literally covered in blood, you could see she had been trying to fight for this man’s life,” said one witness to the aftermath, who declined to give her name. “People were just coming all night, just crying and breaking down in tears.”

As mourners continued to pay respects at the cordon surrounding the police forensic tent on Thursday morning, the political row over the violence deepened, with David Lammy, the Labour MP for Tottenham, accusing ministers of abdicating responsibility and police of failing to tackle organised crime.

Residents of homes overlooking Link Street described hearing a commotion and “very loud shouting” at about 8pm. One said her brother and his friend had gone outside and found police trying to resuscitate the victim.

“I then went out there about 10 minutes later, this time there was ambulance, air ambulance, the police was there and they was all around this young person trying to save his life,” she said.

“I then came back up to my house and I went back down just to see if the person’s still alive or what’s happening and that’s when I saw the body just lying there, covered with a red blanket over it. So I then knew the person had passed away.

“Then it just got really crazy around here. Some young guys started to appear at the scene and they saw what looked like their friend’s bike, so they started to get a bit frantic with the police, just saying: ‘We need to know if it’s our friend because we can see his bike.’

“He was a young boy from the community. I literally saw him riding past every single day, every day I saw him from the balcony and I see him riding past just going about his business.”

The Metropolitan police said officers on patrol on Morning Lane found the teenager at 8pm after they were flagged down by a driver who told them there had been an incident nearby.

“My officers … did all they could to try to save the life of the teenager, rendering emergency first aid and chest compressions with the help of an off-duty paramedic until the ambulance service and London’s air ambulance arrived,” said Ch Supt Sue Williams, who leads the Hackney and Tower Hamlets police command. “They are devastated they were unable to prevent yet another tragic death in the capital.”

Two 17-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Ogunsola had been charged with ABH, dangerous driving without a licence, having no insurance and being in possession of cannabis after an incident in Stevenage in November that left a police officer with a head injury. A friend of the teenager said that he had been a student at the University of Hertfordshire – which is based in Stevenage – but had recently returned home to live with his parents.

“Israel was just – he was a nice person,” said the sobbing 19-year-old, who gave her name as Petronel, as she stood by the police tape bisecting Morning Lane.
She had last seen him the previous day, when she learned he was back in London. “I hugged him, thinking that I might just see him again tomorrow.”

PTDF scholarship is not meant to be a gateway for you to escape from Nigeria.
The aim is for you to go study, then come back and develop the country.
So I think this your post is not just nonsense, it shows that you don’t understand the philosophy behind the scholarship scheme.

Once you score c and above, U.K. Uni will give you admission . Some of the uni might just want you to put it in ur personal statement that you want to use you waec result. Also they accept if you have a letter from your uni in Nigeria that the medium of instruction was in English dats all. I usually apply to several uni for family and friends and it works sooooooo.
That is NOT true. SOME UK universities will give you admission, NOT all.

Every candidate is expected to thoroughly check the requirements as different schools have different requirements. Many Universities may not require IELTS, but some do. And in as much as some do require IELTS, you should not make categorical statements

Gurus in the house, I have a pressing issue at hand now. I was denied a tier 4 visa for a Phd in Nov 17, having earlier studied for a masters degree in the UK. The school agreed to give me another cas fors sept 2018 admission. Oh well, to cut a long story short I am now pregnant and my due date is in sept or earlier. The school is still with my deposit. Will I be able to travel with my baby then as the baby will be really tiny. I am also aware of the funds expected to be kept in the account which is not a problem for me as at now. I will like the opinions of you guys. Yhanks
Disclaimer: I am not a guru yet.

Ugo88: I think you need to be a bit relaxed.
My suggestion may hurt, but I think you should relax and do some really hard personal thinking.
What exactly do you want as a career path?
Or you simply want to use the schooling route to leave Naija?
You seem “all over the place”. First you wanted to change course, then you wanted to get get pregnant for you British citizen partner who is married already, then you had a golden opportunity to go in via the PhD route, but you somehow spoke too fast during the interview and was denied. Then you wanted to apply for super priority because you thought you will not be interviewed.

I’m not writing all these to despise you, what I’m saying is that you should relax a bit and seriously give a thought to all your options. Take it easy a little.



As for travelling in September with a baby of a few weeks, it depends on a lot of factors; airline regulations etc.
How will you cope on a PhD with a neonate?
Maybe you should consider starting in April or September 2019?
