Hello justwise, spikeC, naijamark and All,

Kindly assist with enquiries below;

1. How long does it take for interview invitation after visa application?
2. There is a situation. A part-pymt was made to school IRO tuition fee. This is yet to be acknowledged by the school. Hopefully this should be done before end of this week. Meanwhile I'll like to commence ma visa application process. Can I go ahead (and hope that before I'm invited for interview my CAS is accordingly updated to reflect this payment) or should I wait for the school to acknowledge and update my CAS before I commence visa application? In summary, can CAS be updated between period of visa application and interview?

I never said that the Nigerian educational system is for lazy minds. And point of correction your statement is not true of Ghana ranking high in the number of illegal universities in west Africa. Cos there is no ranking of such. The only one is a list of illegal schools in the country. Of which Nigeria is not exempted. Nigeria is not an attractive educational destination cos things are not right in that sector . If it were. there will be foreigners troopin in. Today a lot of countries you go with a Nigerian degree you need to do some additional course to attach before they take you

justwise:
It does matter, you can still get transferred to one of those highly ranked schools, is not too late now.

Given the opportunity many Nigerians would want to pick one of the best schools in the work to study in but that is not financially possible considering how much it will cost to do that.

You don't jump down on people because they are not studying in one of those highly ranked schools in the world when your own school is not even classified.

I have a PhD partial scholarship (tuition fee only) to study Mechanical Engineering with the University of Nottingham, UK. I suppose to arrive UK by September. My major challenge is accommodation and how to survive in Nottingham. I am looking for people to share apartment with.

skyfullofstars:
Well, I agree with you! I like the first three CDS of Coldplay, I didnt even listen to the last one, which is the one that includes "A sky full of stars", i dont really like that song either, typical pop...

Meritl:
Well , its not needed for my school.
Same with a friend's.
Well you should contact your school to enquire.

sexylogan:
@ skyfullofstars

I love that song by Coldplay
I listen to it almost everyday

skyfullofstars:
Hahaha, that's the reason why I chose the name! In 2007 they visited my country and I met them face to face, got their autographs!

If there has to be just one programming language, it should be C++
Though I would wish it to be python

But looking at things philosophically, it will in all probability be BASIC or assembly language

labimide:
Please correct the topic of this post for subject-verb agreement; 'If we have...' That being said, I think such 'one and only' programming language can only be FORTRAN

Nickzom:
No offence brother,

Can you give me the steps on how to carry any of them?

cedaraustine:
I have NEVER had a very good and decent-in-length working relationship with Nigerian hosting companies.
Anyone with good stories? Care to share? With details?

Few years back, I had issues then I called, my Nigerian host said I should wait till he gets 'online' or sees the nearest 'cyber-cafe.' I died and resurrected when I had online submissions for essays that day, to the site.

To each his own.

"""NOTE C++ is mentioned several times this hour, so you might be trip- ping over the term wondering what it means—and how it’s pronounced. C++ is pronounced C-Plus-Plus , and it’s a program- ming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrop at Bell Laboratories. C++ is an enhancement of the C program- ming language, hence the Plus- Plus part of the name. Why not just call it C+? The Plus-Plus part is a computer programming joke you’ll understand later in this book.""""

quote from sams teach your self java in 24 hours, which i later learnt "++" means +1. unless i dont know the meaning of "enhancement" or "+1"

Dear Webmasters,

I have a bunch of files which I want to overwrite. I am using GoDaddy and I want to know if I can upload all those files at once or must I upload them one by one.
If I can upload the files all at once, please tell me how.

Your reply is really needed.


Thank You

runzlord:
c++ supposed to be an update of c, and i said one language, i did not say without updates, cos if they were really one language, it will still be updated na

I feel sad when I read comments like this. It is one of the main reasons why the ICT field has been severely stunted in this climes.
The problem about ICT (unlike professions like law and medicine) is that anybody can just jump in at any point and muddle the waters.
There is a saying in ICT policy - 'Paying for the use of codes does not confer ownership'
It's simple, when you buy a Taylor Swift CD does that confer you the copyright on her songs ? No.
You only have limited rights to the copy of that song you bought.
Unless you hired the programmer as a staff under your employ as at the time of developing the software, then what you are paying for his a service or at best an end product.
We are quick to run down our own developers and demand the moon on a stick but how many people using original microsoft office or any original proprietary software has demanded the source code from the developer without any prior arrangement, yet we are ready to do that to local developers, how fair is that ?
An Indian will develop a software and yet the Nigerian companies will still pay him to come and train them on the same software that they paid for (travel expense and all).
I am all for the rights of the customer but let's be considerate on practitioners. I have a software that I started developing in 2009 and it has undergone several upgrades and I still work on it till today with about 8 clients using it. Imagine one of the clients requesting that my sweat and blood for the past 6 years should be given to him warts and all just because he paid me to deploy it for him ?
Yeah, I can give a client copyrights/ownership to my codes but he has to pay for it as separate from the license to use the codes.
Spare a thought for the software industry

runzlord:
i think it would be c++


add yours.....

Craigston:
I think the guy's speculating a job there: he wants to maintain the site and have you pay him. If under your agreement the source codes belong to you, then you are free to use legal action. Given that you've made full payment, it's all yours. And if he refuses to yield, he too is yours
But do you know any other thing about him? Oh, you've not met him before? Talk about freelance. Do you have any valid identification of him? His portfolio, facebook, phone numbers, real names? Do you have a copy of the agreement you signed?

olyivy:
You cannot decide that for him. You just said it yourself, "about to dupe" and not "have duped". It is only right for him to expose the guy ONLY when he confirms that he has been duped.

herald9:
A dude is about to dupe you, yet you're hiding his identity. Maybe there is more to the story you don't want us to hear.
Come back when you are serious.

MrMarcus:
Really don't think its a rule, maybe varies with schools.
I got my CAS for Aberdeen few days ago.
My colleague got for lobourough without paying any form of fees.
Mail ur sch.. they would reply.
Except if its an Agent solely repping ur sch.. that way his email address would beer ur sch domain name. e.g abcd.xyz@Aberdeen.ac.uk... Only then I advice u do as he say tho there is no harm in getting clarifications from ur sch..afterall u would b paying millions to them.

justwise:
Bro I think naijamark is right. We have discussed this before last year. Can't find the page but you can google the difference.

NJN:
Thanks, SpikesC.
...

naijamark:
That's very wrong. Since you're paying your own tuition (either you've fully or partly paid, or you're submitting a bank statement indicating the amount), then you're on general tier 4.
You're tier 4 sponsored if and only if a government or multinational agency is paying your fees

NJN:
Thanks, SpikesC.

However, I'll b submitting statement for tuition fees. So, in summary... school is paying for living costs, while I'm paying tuition fees... which do u think I should use in this circumstance?

NJN:
Hello Folks,

Just wondering... wat exchange rate is used d by the UK Visa Office when converting funds in your account to school fees/living costs. Want to believe it's CBN rate, but then..no harm in asking.

Also, on the IHS portal..under Visa type.. I saw Tier 4 (General) and Tier4 (General)(Sponsored)... Let's say ALL your living costs is being fully paid for by the school, while you just pay for your tuition, under which category would the applicant fall?

Thanks.
