If I were you, I will plan the wedding for 100k and use the remaining 400k for something meaningful . Wedding guests must include two witnesses, both Parents and siblings.
All other things na for show

Don't pay anybody for scholarship. Most of these "send me a pm" will demand money from you.

A little introduction about your academic background will be helpful for people to advice you here

SegunWamiri:
In my opinion, MSc. Management is a total waste of money especially when you already have up to about 5 years experience in the same. Honestly, I don't think you'd gain anything tangible. The curriculum is usually too broad not zeroing on a specific aspect of management.

My advice however, as you have begun to loose interest in sales, is to find and choose a program with specialization in other aspects of Management - Human resources, accounting, etc.

In addition to this, @skymoore's advice on related part time work, internships and certifications would come handy while studying ANY management related program in the UK.

Cheers

Tbh I feel like anyone going to the U.K. to study management or international business etc, just wants to spend money and enjoy abroad for a while.

You need to be a pro, before a British person can employ you to manage them (in Terms of HR).

In terms of business management, I wonder which business one is really going to manage for them. U.K. is a service country than a production country. It’s not common to see a made in U.K. product. Most companies there are international companies who are looking to higher top notch Brits or Europeans. They do hire blacks too, but you have to be well damn good!. Your work experience and skills got to be on point eg years of working with international companies like PWC, KPMG, P & G etc.

Supply Chain Management is the one that can even work because of the logistics system in the U.K. Business Analytics, Accounting are feasible too.

So whether he/she changes program as advised by Stenon, you go still need to struggle your way to get a TIER 2 job to stayback. In this case, you’re not just fighting for work with Brits/Europeans, you’re also fighting with your fellow international students that rush to study such courses.

I have one guy there now that’s doing marketing

Oga said he only chose it because it’s easy to pass and gives him time to work.

I think it's time for everyone to be very blunt on this forum. Travelling to UK for some irrelevant courses is just out of it. Please if you have money to spend, spend on something that can secure good future for you and your family . Go for courses that is an Avenue for good life. Getting 8-11 p/hr work after graduation is nothing to survive, settle down, get a car/ house and live a comfortable life.

Even my church donated 5 million naira money. Whereas the church members are suffering, no palliatives or any assistance for church members . Rubbish Donation !!

toyclicks:
Thanks.
My choice for the course was majorly cos of my love for biz and entrepreneurship. Secondly, I figured out its a foundational course that can allow me to further (and buy more time) in case i choose to switch into academics

The initial course I chose was International corporate finance but later found that intake was for January. Hence settled for Management. These fit into my previous line of experience. Also thinking I could switch to/secure jobs in related lines e,g accounting after taking a professional course

But lately, considering the marketability as specific to the UK

if possible, Please change to another course

Good day house, please, I need advice. I came to the Uk Jan this year to study a 2 Years program. I am a married woman with kids so my husband and I planned that he would apply for dependant visa with the kids by March. Unfortunately due to the lock down, they couldn’t get the biometrics done and the worst happened,����my hubby died from covid 19 related disease last week.My life shattered but I have to keep moving���

I am planing to return to Nigeria to get the kids for biometrics but my heart bleeds for my husband after all his sacrifices . I am considering applying for his mum so she can help with the kids while I run around. Please, how can I go about this?? There’s enough fund to cover her maintenance fee.

@Just wise and all kindly advise.

You can make tier 4 dependant visa application for your kids to come over to UK as that will be easiest way to regain back your happiness and comfort.

Please Let your mother-in-law stay back in Nigeria for now and you can be sending money to her to take care of her expenses.

You need total independence and time for healing.
Try to accommodate a nice and caring tier 4 student around your vicinity in a flatshare to be staying with you. You can be working night shift while the tier 4 student is doing day shift with studies, just to be sure that someone is always at home with the kids. Preferably, you can do day work when the kids are in school for their studies.

@STENON
Pls ma'am, can u drop some advice BTW dentistry and pharmacy.

Pharmacy is a No No, except your career is only limited to Africa or Nigeria. The more you look, the better you see. Dentistry can also be a good alternative to Nursing

Tobexin:
Most courses in Uk aren’t based on what you studied in your undergraduate! Based on first grade information he can study the following courses

2.criminology
3. Project management
4. International business management
5. Philosophy
6.Nursing(with some criteria to be met apart from degree course of study)
7. Criminal investigation study
8. Social work

Etc

Thanks Bro. We later settled for International Human Resource Management

My friend you just abandoned us for the other thread(intelligent dudes scholarship thread). How you dey? The information you provided there is a pot of gold, but I need more information on UK Universities that are waiving application fees and have partial or full scholarship. A lot of US universities are doing same, waiving GMAT/GRE exams as well, but I haven't heard anything from the U.K.

90% of UK universities don't ask for application fees, GRE, GMAT, etc..
Scholarship is very competitive except if you are first class graduate

At the death of the main applicant......... Don't do what i am thinking........

Bourne007:
Finally ... I felt it was totally unfair exempting them out in the first instance

Yes, it's better this way... care assistants are very important to the smooth running of care homes.

Deltayankeeboi:
madam I haven't heard from you yet.

Hi bro. How are you?

Deltayankeeboi:
Please I'm very interested MA. Each day I wake up. I feel very unmotivated living in Nigeria.

I'm interested.

lebete3000:
Why do you care?

I can't see "care" on my comment.

It's quite unfortunate what coronavirus has caused in 2020!!

lebete3000:
I thank God for being a Doctor in these times. Man pikin just dey cash out left, right, centre.

Alhamdullilah!

Is this a sarcasm or you typed it by mistake ?

sherilycious:
Please i have a BSc in a non education course but i want to apply for Masters in early childhood education. Can this course get me a license to teach in UK?

Yes it should. If your course is accredited by the teaching council.

Nigeria is just turning corona virus to a comedy show . I pity this our Government by the time reality dawn on them

Jacktours:

Through skype.

Bro, a legal guardian is a person who has obtained authority from the court to take care of you and be responsible for you.

I understand that back home our siblings raise us as their own children however, in the eye of the law, that is not legal guardianship.

lols , I tried same thing during my time too, I was given sworn affidavit and other rubbish court papers... "ko le work", I payed lawyers to get legal guardianship paper for me cos my Aunt was ready to sponsor me , No way, if you are above 18 years, it's a complicated matter sef.

until I got the money deposited to my account, Thanks to the bosses here for their advice then .

UK law is quite simple and easy to follow.

[quote author=yusufDeveloper post=88892256][/quote]Be ready to defend the source of your income. I was asked same question during my interview, I just mentioned my Parents transferred it to my account after paying my tuition fees and next question was what do they do for living and how much they earn per year? I gave the naira and pounds equivalent. Next question was how many siblings do I have and how many are depending on them. I mentioned 4 siblings and that all are married and living with their respective spouses so they don't depend on my parents again. Next one was how much do I currently earn ? just an interlink of questions to be sure you know what you are doing.

Wow... finally here... I came late

DrLuv:
hi all,
I am very sorry if i appear to derail your thread with a rather bizzarre inquiries of mine.

I heard there is a form of accelerared nursing programme in the UK for those with a Bsc.

I have not been able to get hold of some valid information about this.the little information i have is that if one has a BSc, one can apply for a MSc in nursing making one eligible to be registered withNMC.

unfortunately I do not have anymore information about this pathway.I would not know if anyone on this platform can help me with this info or there is some1 somewhere who took or is on this route to get registered with NMC or there is any Thread to this respect.

please I tender my apology once again for this derailing inquiries.

Many thanks

Yes, very true. But at MSc level and it's for 2 years.

Hmmmmm.... It was my Aunt, she died in January 2013... I stayed with her in the hospital all through Christmas and New year after a successful surgery and she was getting better.

On that fateful day, i woke up to the good news that they will be discharging her from hospital the following day, I was so happy and called her children to inform them while also planning to go and make my hair in preparation for school resumption.

She stood up to go to toilet, I followed her and was gisting with her ...all of a sudden, she couldn't move forward nor backward, i looked straight to her eyes and it has turned white , screamed out for help cos I was the one supporting her on stand and she became so heavy. The nurses came around and helped her back to her room.
I was there and the nurse checked her pulse and said mum is dead. I couldn't believe till now that she died just like that .
