Pls kindly read my comment very well....if I am not clear with your comments why not explain ..What is my business has to do with personal hatred for HND? I am telling you what I know and you are telling me hatred...anyway you ve said it all by saying your brother admission is coming by October meanwhile all Unviversities and Polytechnics resume every September except private own Universities...I am a member of France alumunia

My brother is applying in October for September 2023 intake through Campus France & Admission will be out in January or February so we will see then, you take this HND issue so personal, even some universities in US, UK and Ireland admit HND graduates with significant years of relevant experience to either a Top Up degree, MBA or MSc.

Give me the proof ...There is no need for arguement...and the Unversity that admit HND

Is like you have a personal hatred and disdain for HND graduates, M1 is like a Top up degree, with HND you get admitted to M1 while BSc gets admitted to M2 directly.

My brother is currently waiting for October to come so that he can apply through Campus France with HND and over 5 years of relevant working experience, After he gets admitted I will come back here and post his admission letter wink wink wink

@munachimso, in addition to what @roughdiamond has said, I would advise you not to despair. These is just 3 months for you in the country. You will excel. Just hold tight to the fund you have now. The rigorous aspect of starting life in another country is scarcity of information. Now you are getting it. Remember, Gambia is another ball game entirely.
Take a deep breath, and see the positives. You will be fine. Thank God you said you love the country. Get an App called Wordbit and start learning French. Rome was not build in a day remember. Shalom!

Hey guy, many thanks for the heads up about living in Ivory Cost, I have few questions to ask for a brother that intends to move to Abidjan next year:
How long and how much can he get residence permit after arrival?
How much does cab drivers earn daily there? Do they have uber or bolt there?
Kindly help out with this information because my brother is a professional driver and he understands basic French smiley

If Nigerians can endure the Inflation and Insecurity in Nigeria then they can endure any country in the world.

The reason why you hear about UK is because they are transparent, in 2020 a kg of gas was 300 naira in Nigeria, now in 2022 is 800 naira. Which Inflation pass this one

Wrong, HND graduates are eligible to apply for M1 in France which is equivalent to a Top up degree, after which you proceed to M2 or fresh full Msc.

Wish you success. Last question are application for program open or one has to wait till October, and is it just waec that's needed if one wants to go for undergraduate study, and for masters am seeing master 1 and master 2 which is very confusing on which to pick

I think most of France public universities receive applications from October to December every year and they are much more affordable compared to Private Institutions that receive applications year round.

It's better you wait till October, your WAEC is cool but securing Academic IELTS or TOFEL will help you get admission in an affordable University...

France bachelor is 3yrs... Masters 2yrs...

M1 is equivalent of 4th year bsc in Nigeria. So you are qualified to apply for Master 2 direct ( just 1yrs). And if you wish to stay longer then you apply to start from Master 1( 2yrs).

You can't do PHD with M1 only but you can work with it. You can do PHD after completing M2 and work aswel.

Master 2 holders get higher pay than M1 in employment.

That means HND graduates with years of working experience can get admitted into M1

Thanks am guessing getting a visa is not on a low rate ba?

It is, all Shenghen countries are very weary of granting visa to Nigerians now because a visa to France is a visa to other 27 Shenghen countries.

However, use Campus France while applying for your study visa, that gives you like 70% chance already, follow their guide very well and pray for success.

@Post

Let us fix our nation Nigeria. Let us fix our continent Africa but no, many of you will rather go and stay permanently in other people's homelands. Once the economic crash that is coming becomes very severe, that is when our people will know what's up. Europe is not your ancestral land and neither is Canada, Australia or America. Fix your ancestral land so that people from other races and nationalities will stop treating you like crap and looking down on you but our people will not listen.

White people let our people into their countries not because they like we Africans so much but because their countries were experiencing prosperity. But now, economic downturn is coming so they want people who don't look like them gone from their lands but yet Africans don't get it. I guess until they have guns pointing to their faces by hateful looking white men in uniforms like was the case in Ukraine before our people will get it. A whole bunch of African migrants were just killed by Morocco and Spain. They wanted to cross over into Spain. A time will come when Europe will not tolerate Africans in their countries anymore. Mark my words.

We can choose to wake up or remain perpetually in slumber.

Kindly answer the question and stop shifting post

Let me help him.

APC Increased pump price for Petrol, Kerosine, Diesel and Gas thereby leading to inflation.

APC Increased taxes for companies thereby leading to inflation because the companies also increased the prices of goods and services.

APC stopped the importation of rice thereby leading to inflation of rice in the market.

APC devalued our currency thereby leading to inflation in the country.

APC have failed to tackle insecurity in the country thereby leading famine because people can't not farm like before, businesses can't safely move goods and services from one location to the other.

APC Increased electricity tariff by 50% which led to high cost of production and eventually inflation.

APC have failed to manage ASUU strike situation and our youngsters are at home for over 5 months now...

APC have turned Nigeria to a heavily indebted country where the government now burrow to pay salaries.

APC lied many times that the fuel subsidy has been ended but without any shame we found out that subsidy is still being paid.

I don't mean to be off topic, but what can we actually do to kill the hype around tech,
I think it's unsettling that a lot of people are migrating into tech careers just for the pay,
I mean, it would be nice to come across a Nigerian doing research and developing some cutting edge advancement in tech, who knows, maybe if we had more people like that, technological innovation could be one of those things that would make Nigerian Standout just like Music has done.

I don't know if this makes any sense but, its on here anyway

There is no way the hype around Tech can be killed or ignored,
Do you know that there are over a hundred In demand skills in Tech?
Do you know the comfort you get for working Remotely for companies abroad?
Do you know that there are multiple opportunities for being a successful entrepreneur in Tech?
Do you know that there are many developed countries out there that have approved Digital Nomad Visa to attract Tech professionals around the world?
Do you know that "John Oseni" a 16 years old Nigerian was recently hired by an Italian company as Senior Developer with just 2 years experience?

I personally think the Tech Industry is actually under hyped, I will keep singing the song to as many youth as possible to switch to Tech, I'm 38 years but the Tech train will not leave me behind grin grin grin

I just singed for a Web Development and Automation classes, I don't care if the industry becomes saturated, I'm positive, I believe I'm that lost diamond that will always shine in the midst of the desert wink wink wink
