Hello guys,

Please I really want to confirm what an agent told me

She told me that after studies in the UK one would have to first come back to naija to process going there again or going to another country

Please how true is it?
I thought it's possible to process either masters or PhD after BSC while still in the UK

Please I need our response
Stop using agents una no go listen. Agent that has not seen what muritala looks like. He is working with expired information.

It is true but not for 2022

This is right. Happened to me, I paid about 230£ admin charges to the agency and was lucky enough they got a tenant fast, so I only paid 1 extra week rent than I needed..
I paid 2-3 months +bills never again

Hello Everyone, I just arrived Bournemouth on Sunday, currently staying at an Air BNb. I am in dire need of accommodation, for a family of 3. Budget is between £600 - £800 per month. If you have anything please let me know. Thanks so much
Inside Bournemouth?? That budget seems like studio money oh.


People research the cities you want to come to thoroughly oh. Rent varies from South. To North of England.

Good luck

Good afternoon my people, please does anyone have any experience about Scottish power. Moneysupermarket recommended them for me as a cheap energy provider and upon contacting them, they gave me a monthly fix rate of 63 pounds Which is very enticing but when I checked their review online it was horrible.


I'm planning to call them that I no do again but I need input from people with first hand experience.

My house is all electric.

Please help a brother oooo.

If by "our people" you mean Nigerians, and not perhaps Camerounians, Kenyans or South Africans, then I don't think that is a good idea, given all the horror stories we hear about Nigerian organisations in that industry.
Our people, Zimbabwe, Ghana, etc. Naija no go pay you.

Bro I have tender 3 Nigeria experience.

But this recruiter are either asking for at least 1 month uk experience or driver license with a car.

I just tire. Bills are pilling up already.

If only I can get someone who runs a care home that I can do free work for 3days, and the person will reference me as uk experience.
What part of UK are you located? Look for agencies ran by our people.

@Chreze,
I am gradually finding myself in same situation you were shocked shocked shocked

Getting house in UK no be come chop despite being ready for long term rent or paying 6 months in advance.

Knowing that I have only 1wk remaining, I have approached my BNB owner for permanent stay and he is willing to offer only 4 months. He is fully booked after May.

My dilemma is that if I take this offer now, I will need to look for another house after May and likely change schools for kids.

Any advice on this? sad angry
What has been the exact response you have been getting from letting agency?

What area is your university? Have you looked at the possibility to commute 30min -1hr?

You might try adjusting your budget.

You might try adjusting the size of houses you are looking at.

For your kids try to get them in contact with a career advisor from your council, they will assist in helping them identify a possible career path.

What ever career they decide they like there are different ways to archive that ( apprenticeship, internship, online courses, YouTube).

I advise you should explore the available options and decide. I strongly suggest you should make the call to the council.

They can register for waec and write it online or go back to write it (online/offline). And application for universities can be done from anywhere.

Good luck

3. Use a lot of Google
4 set up viewing

Is there an advantage to paying rent early?
It prevents you from using the money to shalaye and Jaye Jaye.

It's soo annoying oo and hope it doesn't backfire in the nearest future. I don't trust UKVI for anything. Meanwhile the true shortage exists in domiciliary care and they are the major ones I see offering sponsorship right now. If you claim you are Lewis Hamilton and drive a car, its sponsorship straight up.
Regarding the courses, NVQ is health care can help but honestly I feel driving skill tips the application in your favour.
Please can you share known firms that offers this sponsorship?

Thanks

So it makes sense to ask about sponsorship after there's an offer on the table?
I think so, that's if it does not come up in the interview.

As it just discourages them. Make sure they are on the sponsored list as well. But I know of companies who went ahead to register as a sponsor just because of a candidate

Since nobody did it.

I just want to rant please… interview don tire me. One excuse after the other, I’m taking notes and getting better sha(in my mind). Work visa sponsorship no be small thing o,

I’m tired, but we move

@mimilyrics thank you for posting those jobs, they gingered me.
Skilled work visa no be beans... I have applied for at least 400 jobs since november.

Must people wont even consider you when they see you need sponsorship, as thats the first question they ask.

Some are on sponsorship list but are still reluctant to sponsor, even though occupation is on the skilled worker list and the salary is more than the required threshold.

I had two very promising interviews in december, the next step in one was to talk with CISO, I come oversabi ask them about sponsorship they said they do sponsor, but it depends if they havent used it up. while expecting email for CISO interview, na unfortunately email I recieve.

the second one the man just they praize me, they praize my experience and my educational background, at least he told me upfornt they dont sponsor at the moment, but thry will keep me on the list etc.

But las las we move, I have reduced applications I am exploring other routes.

Good luck with yours

You don scam innocent people wey dey give confirm update for this thread embarassed.

@justwise @lexusg430 I need your thoughts.
A friend came to the UK on a Tier 4 visa in September and was randomly applying for some permanent roles to test the water and see how employable he is. Now he’s got a company that has the ability to sponsor him on a T2.
Is it possible to switch visa completely before the 3 months to the end of course rule? If he’s able to combine work and school, can he continue with the masters program while working full time on the Tier 2 visa?
He can choose to differ his studies of employer/school won't allow him to do both.

3 months rents is the minimum money you need to enter this country if you plan to freestyle your way through life.
