For the first time ever in my year of living abroad. I experienced power outage at Maryhill side of Glasgow. It has been restored now.

Simply check schools websites in Scotland and read how they describe who is classified as an international vs Home student. You must meet two conditions to be classified as home student. Settlement and 3 years residence requirement. There is only one official version.

rayralph, Zahra29 et al...

Different answer versions to a simple question without any reference is totally misleading.

Please let's always attach reference(s) to an assertion. Yes, I know a simple google search or research could have helped the op who originally asked the question and also remove any ambiguity to the responses received.

Is a lie, if you like use 5 years in Scotland, you can only pay home fees if you have a settled status which is indefinite stay. Stop misleading people.

Zahra29:
You're right, I forget sometimes that Scotland is a bit of an anomaly in some aspects.

For the rest of the UK though, permanent residence is required.

Only coded people understands me.

If you like, leave your Muslim countries who can not give you good treatment like the western world and be protesting in favour of evil Hamas. They have started revoking visa for those who speaks in support of Hamas atrocities.

If you want to protest, go back to your country or where they can glorify evil like Iran.

Some Japa because of peace of mind, is not about money money for everybody. I knew someone who abandoned his business and relocated abroad after he was kidnapped and paid heavily before he was released.

If you are in Glasgow, I can link you up and you will start working nextweek. Na free link oooo. No charges .

quote author=fullclub post=126613274]my dream was that immediately I came over, i and my dependant will search for jobs.. work and pay bill. but that is not feasible as I am seeing it.

i started this process with 15 million naira then when naira nose dive i had to borrowed extra 15 million to top it with interest of almost 2 million naira. landed in uk, started seeing the reality on ground

i have been in UK since 1 month plus. but getting a job as a migrant or new commer without UK experience is not easy.
in fact i have sent over 200 job application for cleaner, care assistant etc but all came with a sorry we have moved on to the next stage or you don't have uk experience.

school fees has to be paid. everyone here in tight corner... school has sent mail threatening to report to the immigration if school fees is not paid in the next few weeks to most Nigerians here.

no job, house rent is expensive.. going for 450 to 600 pounds per month.

travelling through student route is not really easy because you have to balance between work and school.. 'even at that where is the job as a new migrant.

Please if you are considering coming to UK for now.. please put on hold. the crowd from Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming.

it's not worth selling your home to be here.

i sleep in indeed and all this job site.. still yet nothing, bills mounting up.

all my colleague i came with are still with no jobs in other cities

after spending 13 million coming here with extra 3k dollars now almost exhausted chai


if u know you don't have full school fees, house rent for 12 months, upkeep.... running to 35m to 40m please stay back... stay back or apply through skill route.

Benin City, The Mighty Medieval Capital Now Lost Without Trace

Benin City was described as ‘wealthy and industrious, well-governed and richly decorated’. Illustration: Decompiling Dapper: A Preliminary Search for Evidence


Guardian Newspaper, UK

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace


With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?

This is the story of a lost medieval city you’ve probably never heard about. Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Barely any trace of these walls exist today.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.

Most of you lack knowledge of how they trade commodities in the global market. Hence, you can believe whatever lies some people share online. First go and learn about global commodity trading and come back to argue with me.

The context was very clear. He mentioned same price as Canada, he mentioned imposed by France. Honestly, I don't know what you are arguing again.[/quote]

He said "Niger set their price", so what is there to understand again, I pity most African ignorance. Your politicians are using the same ignorance to enslave you.

Cabalgeneral:
Read and understand before quoting someone

I don't think Nigerians would have been stupid to that extent of selling at that price before. It was a joint venture and 90% of the direct revenue from the mines went to the state of Niger.” The politicians are the problem, even In our Nigeria. See your president who is almost richer than lagos state, the senate president too is there.

ken6488:
ok I understand that might not be the price but €0.80 cent per kilo is a reap off , tell me a country that sells that low?

Is only a fool that will just open mouth and called a fellow man fool for trying to set the record straight. It just shows the level of ignorance in Nigeria.

Time will tell who is a fool between you and me. You Africans should look inward and solve your problems than putting the blame a foreigners. Stop your Wickedness, ignorance, nepotism, greedness and all the evils that put Africa in this state. Mind you it started before white even came in contact with us.Go and read the proper history of Africa. You will understand we are responsible for our problems. Nothing will change unless we change ourselves.

I don't argue with people who spread lies. So you don't know how much they sell uranium in the global market? Find out first before abusing me.

ken6488:
you see how you just embarrassed your self? Did you read what I post at all? Niger is not setting international price, to have made there uranium priced well no more stealing

So cry you and all your fellow western ass licker's would be kicked out of Africa

You people will just be spreading Lies. Uranium is a global commodity and no single country can set the price as they like,just as Nigeria cannot set the price of our oil. Uranium is not more than 56 dollars per pounds at the moment. Get your fact right before spreading rumours.

I landed with less than 500 pounds. It depends on how you get information and plan yourself. Don't come to UK and be looking for a white collar jobs. There are many jobs you can get in one week of arrival, just let your expectations be realistic.

millionboi2:
your pocket still fresh na.

Life is sweet in UK, I just arrived two weeks ago and everyday I and my family can't stop praising God for helping us to relocate. Don't let anyone deceive you. Life is 100000% better here than Nigeria.

You will surely need transit in Duesseldorf, but you don't need Turkish transit, you just need your boarding pass to cross the transit area in Istanbul. But make any mistakes in Istanbul ooo, they are very heartless and won't help if you need anything from them.
