Flawless:

Justwise that word should be ceasing (fervently, non stopping) not season (festive, weather etc) I guess you need to be passionate about you improving your English skills with the several asssswipppppppinnngg posts that you have been regurgitating on this site one would think you would have improve your understanding of the English language. You are aspiring to be an English man, you are better off getting your writing skill sorted out then you can graduate to skin bleaching, then various surgeries such as nose restructuring etc. before thinking of supporting the English man with your dribbles.Mr justwise, today is Saturday I have got better things to do with my weekend than throwing banter with someone that gladly walked into 21 century slave trade. Kunta Kunte etc have paid the price.
Nice weekend everyone Bleep

This is coming from somebody who wrote: 'I believe it is hi time you stopped writing anything about Nigeria cos we all know that you will never see any good thing about that great country'.  ? Get help too Mrs English language teacher.

Flawless,thanks. I really can see that. i will totally ignore

You better do.

Flawless:


Bukky4real ignore him, he is an infamous character on this site. He is known by everyone for his aggressive and offensive nature. He clearly lack argumentative skills and cannot pass his point without been offensive.

Please never allow his intimidating nature get into you at all.

shalom

. . .yea maybe thats all pple like you deserve from me. Can't be bothered.

this is what kills us nigerians
always quick to judge
  right bukky4real u cnt just generalise that uk universities are easy to get into that is a wrong statement fair enouh us universities maybe better in some peoples opinion but uk universities are still very good nonetheless
 and word of caution there are so many university rankings that do have bias in them so an over reliance on rankings may not be correct
 theres ivy league unis in us and russell group unis in uk these are the top unis on both sides of the border rankings or no rankings i respect any graduate from any uni in that list and It is certainly not easy to get into those unis if you see their requirements

 and flawless when people type on this website theres a rush of blood, sometimes i get it and hence people may not pay a lot of attention to their grammar, that does not remove anything from the individual

bukky4real:

Teejay, hws your research going

lots of hard work, its my first year

seye4nii:

No, i'm not angry at all, but you don't have any moral right to condem the UK for treating some Nigerians poorly cos you are one of those denting our image in the UK

wat about you that used fake document to obtain student visa ar u not one of us,

seye4nii:

wat about you that used fake document to obtain student visa ar u not one of us,

from madeup.com. I don't deal on fake documents, all my traveling documents are original.

I don't need to marry my grandmother to stay here, unlike you.

The US ivyleague is different from the Russel Group. It comprises the most elite undergraduate institutions. Most of these institutions open job opportunities and have a social and academic tag that only Oxbridge in the UK can match.

Anyways, Nigeria is really a high risk country- eevryone is trying to run away from naija, dont understand why though.

Have been living in the uk for the past 6 years and i can tell you UK is not what it used to be back in the days, my advice to people back home who want to come to the UK, should stay put, use your money to invest in business or any other things you can think of.

Alot of people here wanna go back home, but the prospects of security, no light and bad road and health scare the hell out of most people here.

You can't blame the UK government for wanting to reduce immigrant, for one they cant reduce the EU which take massive part of their employments, due to referendum they had with the EU, hence reducing people from non eea.

Let me remind you guys of when ghana was in our country doing all the odds jobs, what did we say, GHANA MUST GO, did you see where the brits are coming from now?

No money, goverment cutting all jobs like there is no tomorrow, and people are getting more angrier by the day.

Also to friends, families back at home, should cut we guys here some slack as they expect us to be sending them ridiculous amount of money everytime. Alot of people cant even afford to eat 3 times a day here. RANT OVER

Are those two groups ranked based on the quality of research they carried out or what?

well the russell group is an equivalent of the ivy league in the uk and can also provide good opportunities for UK undergraduates

That is true but a bitter one, not everybody will see it that way.

Are those two groups ranked based on the quality of research they carried out or what?

no they are not. A small number of the ivy league have weak research profiles though they are weak in teh US, but would be qualified as strong in the UK. For example Brown is seen as a weak research institution in the US but its research profile is stronger than 80% of the Russell Group. However the student body and prestige at brown in the US is very strong. The job opportunities available to a graduate from Brown would be very very significant.

In geenral most people in the US make a distinction between rigorous undergraduate institutions and Research universities.

You might as well say OAU/UI is equivalent to Harvard since these are the best in nigeria. Also depends on your definition of good opportunities. They would do the trick though for a simple job but most would not get you a job at an elite firm easily.

Anyways I think at this point I want to encourage everyone to go back home. There is so much we couldn do for Nigeria with the education we receive abroad.

Dont you miss pounded yam and eguisi soup, because I do.

i agree, its the right of the UK to limit immigration in their country. Their system seems to be already overburdened

Come on guys there is Canada and Australia- these countries have small population density, at leasy consider your prospects there.

There is only one place that no one would be chasing you about in terms of immigration and stuff. the country where you were born----Naija

Thats a serious point, though its hard to make that decision, the way things are here now, alot of pple would cherish the opportunity of moving back home, but its hard to make that move.

Happy New Year Sir/Madam
I have bn spending more time on the foreign affairs section.

@Justwise, What do you do in UK. Are you working or studying? I wonder where you always have the time to post on all the sections of nairaland. I read this thread from the beginning to the last post and I realized that you posted more than 30% of the whole thread. No offence meant oooo. I am only curious.
