Forget, I'm in the UK. Studying and working with the NHS. Offered admission into 2 different schools and I picked the best one for me.

Name arrangement is not a problem. Spelling errors, using initials are.

They'll even rearrange your name for you at work.

If igbos could dominate other tribes in their own region when it comes to trade , do you think those tribes will stand a chance in south east?

Mrfeel:
There is no reason to be worried, majority of igbos are traders and they take their trade everywhere they can

Mrfeel:
A huge population of SE live outside of south east, to still have such numbers in south east is impressive

Ty207:
Do you mean 1200w cos I don't think there is any freezer with 120w which is equivalent to 2bulb

I look skinny. I admire people whose physique show average flesh. The fact is that I am not naturally a skinny person. This means I can actually gain weight with the right food consumption. However, I don't really know the right choices to booster my wish. Experience people in this community, put me through, maybe someone out there too.

This is a rejoinder because i felt that if i dont give an account on how it ended it won't be nice.
Here is the other or first thread about my complaint and how i found it difficult to adjust and meet up my financial obligations in uk.
https://www.nairaland.com/7889678/experience-uk-since-japa-warning

I want to thank all those who advised me to stay back and fight it through. After reading those positive comments and some friends here i decided to stay back.
Today i want you all to join me celebrate as i have graduated from the University here and my graduation is coming up November 29th 2024.
It was not an easy journey honestly at first i thought it will be impossible to complete my studies giving the fact that school started mounting pressure on me shortly after i decided to stay back.

I got first job December/January but honestly it couldn't sustain house rent. So i had to sell some properties in Naija to remain afloat, Then stopped the job i was on when i got another one and the pay was sustainable but lost that one after few months. Then my dependant who came leta got a job and together our finances could now sustain and also clear fees balance.
The property I sold enabled me to clear some part of school fees because that is the main burden to student aside rent


Lessons learnt so far:

1) To all folks planing on japa via school should make adequate preparation, do your planning/home work well because the first 6 months in UK is not for the faint hearted. On the aspect of school feee ensure you have plans on how to get it cleared as fast as possible.


2) If you don't know how to drive please and please learn it. You don't need to have a car before u learn. Learn now... Like now its a skill that is valuable in all field.

3) Again if you plan to japa now or in future, please know thar driving or knowing how to drive is a skill its self.

4) It is quite expensive to learn how to drive when u leave Nigeria. You can spend over 5m to learn how to drive in UK.

5) Buying a car is far cheaper as a month rent is enough to get you a modern car.

6) Having a car and a driver licence will open doors for you that are impossible to open

7) No one (Nigerians) borrow or lend any money in the UK.. I mean reasonable money like 100, 200 etc. Although u could get credit card. I mean abeg borrow me this money i go pay back so soo time.

life could be lonely amongst the Nigerian communities as everyone is chasing money. But is life fun for British? Yes the British like a fun filled lifestyle. We dont club 1/10th in Nigeria like they do here but can you foot the bill like a newcomer in town?

9) it takes an average of 3 months to 4 months to get a job. Soo I will say there are jobs especially for those who have previous experience in a field. The more experience u have the better and faster u are to get jobs.

10) don't learn automatic driving leaving manual. Please learn manual car driving then u could learn automatic. 80% of cars here are manual. U can see 2020 manual car model everywhere

11) you could use public transport to get to a place in 2:30hrs whereas same place will take u 13 minutes or less with your private car.

12) food is crazy cheap but house rent is not cheap. So staying in remote places could safe u more assuming u have a car to get to place of work.

13) if you are coming its good to have 1000 pounds set aside to learn skills thay could land u job easily. This skills and certification are just few weeks to achieve.

14) learn to network with those on ground. They already know or have some job connections hidden that could take u years to find out.

15) at least know the basics of computer operations like how to send mail, do job search via indeed. Use ms Word etc it helps.
16) in Nigeria when see someon or stranger u stone ur face.. Bone ur face trying to investigate but in the uk its otherwise. When u see someone u smile.. And be polite.

17) no power failure not even a seconds.

18) all road are connected

19) nothing like tribalism or regionality in UK. Like every uk sees him or her self equal and uphold their nationality unlike tribes we do in Nigeria.

oglalasioux:
How we, black people, support musicians and footballers is the same way we support politicians. That wizkid walked past davido is now a point of clout for us. Same way we’ll drink poison because it was served from our ethnic cup.

ecomalchemistt:
No matter the level of evil or corruption being perpetuated by Nigerian politicians\leaders, there will always be a Nigerian supporting them , unfortunately, this same Nigerian will be dragging front seat, sandwiched between the driver, another Nigerian in front seat of mini-buses that don't even have space and be loaded like olden days sardine.

I had a similar issue , in my case i had to re-upload a clearer version of the document in question.

There should be a helpline number in the mail sent to you, call that number .

Pumpyjay:
Do you really need an application letter? I renewed my passport online last month and did not submit such letter.

Your passport has less than six months expiration... Therefore, yes, you can now begin the application process for Nigerian passport renewal. The only reason here is the expiration of your passport which is less than six months.
I hope you're aware of the requirements for Nigerian passport renewal.

You should have gone for capturing/enrollment (on the appointment date issued to you) before now.

But when it comes to intimidating students or letting yahoo boys and politicians escape with light prison sentences they come out with full chest.
