In the unlikely event that they were ever allowed to leave the UK, they would apply to rejoin the EU and would have to adopt the euro I believe.

You lot always like to throw this whole "read to understand" as if what you wrote wasn’t in black and white. You said I and quote

"I stood there, observing fellow Nigerian that might help as I was seeing them, also tried reaching out to one person even my greetings wasnt replied to. My simple request would have been where I could get a SIM card. With a working SIM, I could connect to the internet and book another hotel.

Not knowing a white kind-hearted woman had been looking at me from her office just opposite where I was standing. She came out to me, ask me why my bags were everywhere lol.
After telling her, she asked me to wait while she go fetch her car, she helped transport my luggages even lifting them herself telling me I would have been tired, gave me a lift to another hotel and where to buy SIM card."

What’s there not to understand, "Nigerians ignored you but a kind hearted white woman helped you". There’s no humour in your text even though you are trying to make it out to be some joke. You just profiled random black people as Nigerians not looking to help you when those people were probably just minding their business and could have been from anywhere.

I’m not fighting you as this place is starting to look like a boxing ring. But read the bias in your text next time.

So, I will pay school fees with 0 scholarship, 0 access to public funds, o benefits, to school in your country and then you will "police" my grades for me

After that, you will still "police" how much I need to earn, then "police" who can come in with me. Abi?

😆 🤣

Issorai, na me and IETLS next year. One of us go kee the other
😆 🤣

The policing of grades some schools do it. Not easy unlike before to be scoring anyhow. When i heard What some schools score people. In my school who born u? To the extent that two departments in different schools or faculties as we call it in Nigeria took the case to the student union. I won't mention the school but out of 86 students or so I heard only 7 graduated in a particular course. Many were asked to withdraw.

hustla:


It makes 0 sense

As long as the student passes and has not done any malpractice, and has not defaulted with attendance or fees, it should not be the business of the school or home office

Na them know sha

America001:
Please can someone on Healthcare Work Visa apply for another degree while working as a carer.

In other words is it allowed to be both a student and skilled worker at the same time?.

Thanks

Felt I should include that poster has been in the UK for about a year on HCW Visa but wants to acquire another degree

Zahra29:


Yes, they can study while on a skilled visa but they would pay international fees.

Goodenoch:


No. It makes sense.

First, it's in the country's overall interests to ensure people do well in their universities because graduate outcomes affect the ranking of the universities which in turn affects the reputation of the general education sector and thereby impacts the economy and other aspects as well.

Also, from an immigration perspective, it makes sense for the country to want to ensure that only 'high quality' graduates are retained in the economy so they can get a better ROI from each person who's let in as they'll be better educated and can thereby contribute more via work, innovation etc etc. Cynical? Yes, but logical.

In addition, it makes sense for the students because it'll discourage some unis that are essentially degree farms where there's little concern about how students perform as long as they come pay the fees. Some of those unis are really only selling CAS, in my opinion, but that's a topic for another day.

It shouldn't be a problem for most though - after all it has been agreed that Nigeria is sending its 'best and brightest'. I'm sure they'll all make distinctions and graduate in flying colours, policy or no policy. Abi?

hustla:



I'm convinced if they ask some people to sacrifice their siblings to the UK government so they can continue to lick home office's behind, they will willingly do it

So, if I had some mental health breakdown during my course, or life happened and I didn't graduate with good grades, make them fling me away abi?
After paying nearly x3 what home students pay with 0 student loans or support from the same government.. Abi?

I hope its sarcasm sha but just Continue

Goodenoch:


Exceptions don't invalidate general rules. By this your logic universities should not award grades because it's possible some of the students doing badly have mental breakdowns. Same thing at work - no performance reviews because mental breakdown. Does that make sense to you?

More to the point, it's clear that the policy is just in idea stage and hasn't been fleshed out yet. I know that in the current dispensation people have the opportunity to appeal every decision both at the uni level and also when it comes to dealing with the Home Office, showing mitigating circumstances etc., so I'd expect similar provisions here.

Chreze:


I remember getting those messages 3yrs ago, but I can’t remember if I did change my location. Cos my currency still shows Naira. Not sure, but I think I ignored it. I would like to believe that was what I did cos the only way I withdraw is P2P.

You can wait for another person to reply.

Also be calm with the UK trouble thing, nobody gets into trouble just like that. As long as you are not doing illegal activities (money laundering & fraud) with your binance account, I don’t see any reason to be worried or get into trouble.

If possible avoid using P2P pounds, there use to be crook some years back. Don’t know if they still are. I will guess YES. Some of the p2p experiences in the UK will be traumatizing for someone who’s new to the land.

That thQey even thought of this itself is extremely foolish and ridiculous. What will you people not defend ehn?

Quick question: which other country in the world does this?

Are you sure you're not talking about my Geology colleagues in OAU??

Imagine HOD came out that year and said "my students refused to graduate"

As difficult as Geology was in UI, that OAU own was purely wickedness.

ehizario2012:


Lol. Funny. But seriously it's that vaping nonsense he should focus on for U-16s... It's just crazy.

hustla:


They cant touch that

Most are already addicted.

Zahra29:


Easy with the overgeneralisations.... it's like saying "most Nigerians are scammers" etc

It's even best to avoid uk p2p. What if a drug baron on wanted list pays into your account

Thank you very much for providing a lot of context to this.

Any keen reader will see that contrary to what MissJelkyll would want to hoodwink folks into belly, Akshata Murty did not actually commit any tax fraud or crime or any illegal or unlawful action.

We discussed PSW visa in Australia and how generous it was sometime this week. Bombshell by the Home Affairs minister today - they're looking to cap the age of PSW applicants to 35 years and reducing all PSW to max 3 years !

They only changed it to max 6 years in July this year so they're making a u turn less than 6 months later and when people would have applied based on the July announcements.

It's shocking considering that the PR and work visa pathways for offshore and onshore applicants have an age cap of 45 years and .

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-15/graduate-work-visa-age-limit-change/103224544

They want to implement the change from early 2024 and announced it today so very little notice has been given plus the next academic year starts in late January!

hustla:


Lol you know it's the truth. Why do you think there are vaping stores?

Even lots of adults are addicted to cigarettes etc
