Good.
Nobody like them anyway so no big deal even if they close their embassy in Nigeria. They have turned the embassy into a business venture which is tax free. People who want quality education will have to look elsewhere.
UK aint all that

omega25red:

chai show don spoil be that all those trying to enter as student better get their papers in quick before that ranking happens

justwise:

I'm not sure about that, we Nigerians caused the whole thing, i'm worried that decent students might be affected if that proposal goes ahead.

JeSoul:

I couldn't see the video. It says "unavailable in your area" wetin we do them for Boston now? lol.

Anyways, Decent students (and immigrants in general) are constantly suffering from the bad reputation the bad eggs are putting on everyone. That unfortunately is a harsh reality prospects have to deal with. We brought it on ourselves.

DonOsita:

If they think dat is the only way dem no sabi

segunjowo:

Na wa oooo

beknown:

There is no need to panic about this.

If the UK carry out their threat, they will be shooting themselves in the foot.

Foreign students in the UK today are mostly Africans and Asians. Nigeria takes the greater share of student numbers from Africa. India takes the greater share of student numbers from Asia.

If the UK authorities cut visas to Nigerians and Indians, it will have knock-on effect on some colleges. Some colleges and even Universities may closedown.

The fees for foreign students keep increasing without control. Nigerian and Indian students are helping the UK with huge money pot for studies.

I can always get my British certificate from Malaysia or Singapore even at a lower cost because there are so many UK universities there .What will I be going to the UK to do? Everybody Uk,Uk!! University of Nottingham,University of Derby,University of Sunderland,Oxford Brooks etc all these schools are in Malaysia,Singapore and even S.Africa.You don't need to go to the Uk anymore for these certificates. For instance,accommodation in Malaysia is about $150 per month,tuition fee which people pay as high as 21,000 pounds per yr in the uk is only but 8,000-11,000 USD in Malaysia,Singapore or even S.Africa and at the end of the day you are issued the same certificate,and might even be more knowledgeable than someone who attended the main campus in the UK.

Also,i think its high time we started encouraging these universities to start opening up campuses in Nigeria,since our country is among the highest ''exporter'' of international students to the uk.Doing so,to my knowledge,will reduce cost both for the school,students and their parents, and maybe upon graduation they could go to the uk for their convocation ceremony.

Best post on the topic

This bad rush to the uk is becoming worrisome.

boy t:

All this Colonial Masters with their ratings, think Nigerians still clamour to enter UK, as China leads the world economy today, so will our potential students search for alternative.

Now this thread is more like hyping UK to me.
It should have read, Good news - Nigerians can think of a better alternative.
Why people still flock here's because they dont believe when we tell them Uk is as good as been in Nigeria save constant power n security (but na dat one go build me solid crib for island?)

[b]In the boom years,people lounge mainly on credit. House, furniture, car, school, phone, travel, even food na on credit card.[/b]Now they are in recession, where the job?
screw them, who cares, mshew!!

debosky:

There is no reason to be alarmed. Nigerians are already deemed high risk in practice so there will be little or no change to the actual processes you need to go through.
The difference will be felt by those countries deemed low risk, as the need to demonstrate you have funding for the intended course may be waived/relaxed. This relaxed regime will be primarily based on the history of other students from that country, majority of who have completed their studies and returned, unlike Nigerians.
Rushing through your student application will not make any difference - you will still be treated as high risk anyways. Anyone who has visited a British embassy outside of Nigeria will clearly see that the treatment in Nigeria is very different due to the high risk perception.
