hustla: They played a stupid game and now enjoying stupid price. A year or two ago i was removing a lot of posts from people asking for school that does not ask for deposit or accept low deposit. I banned countless number of people advertising or asking for proof of fund link. People cheated themselves from CAS to visa application and now chicken has come home to roost and we are acting sympathetic? Nah! Experience is the best teacher. 5 Likes |

directonpc: I got to the UK yesterday afternoon, then my new base in the evening. Started my trip 3pm on Wednesday. Can't wait to see what the UK has in place for me. I shall do my best to make it a productive stay ABOUT MY FLIGHT Egyptair didn't allow me to board till I got a yellow fever vaccine card. If anyone plans to book Egypt air from Nigeria, make sure you have that card. Also during our stop in Cairo, we waited for about 4 hours before were taken to the hotel paid for by the airline. Some Egypt air staff even told us no accommodation for us till we started opening eyes for them. 19 Likes |

hustla: Continued naira devaluation might have meant home sources of funds might not be able to meet up. Also, influx of care workers + dependents has meant usual 20hr jobs have not been as easy to come by. Some also didn't have reasonable funds initially and now have to face the reality I wonder how many would fare in the longterm (after PSW) with the new work visa rules. 3 Likes |

SamAfrik: Emotional outbursts are hardly the answer. I see your aim is to equate hamas and Palestine. i.e Palestinians = terrorists. Its a time tested emotional strategy to excuse genocide by first dehumanizing a group then visiting whatever harm upon them e.g Hitler did same with Jews etc It's well agreed that the continued subjugation, bombing and blockade of Gaza as Israel has done over decades would only convert more Palestinians to violent fighters. Thats why even the UK and US have been pushing for an independent Palestinian state- something Israel is strongly opposed to. I wonder how long they hope to subjugate them for. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Diamonds911:Call up airlines. Book the unaccompanied minor tickets. British airways offers it I remember. Someone only needs to drop them off at the airport. The airline will look after them till they get to UK and are picked up on the other end by you or your wife. 2 Likes |

Lender is offering me 13.4% APR for a car finance. Is this a good deal or I should try my luck and see if I can get a lesser APR. But my fear is that, hope this current APR won’t leave a footprint on my credit file and make other lenders want to offer me a high APR. |

Looking up the site, looks like Children under 13 years old cannot travel alone with BA unaccompanied. SUN-AIR, their partner airline, however accepts from 5 years old which obviously doesn't operate from naija. giselle237: |

profemebee: With the economic downturn in many western nations and elections approaching, immigration has traditionally been a low hanging fruit. With Canada, it's a bit more nuanced. Fees for local students were reduced by 10% in 2019 and since then, it was frozen. Colleges and unis were shoehorned to the international market with foreign students accounting for upto 80% of numbers in some schools. This was marked among colleges (not unis) which mainly give out diplomas. For a population of 40million, even the new cap of 360,000 is still pretty impressive. This change has pushed the ball back from the federal government back to the provinces. It's either they fund these colleges or many would collapse. I expect intense lobbying. Masters students are largely unaffected by the cap and they can still bring in dependents. The reality of the 'student' market is that for any nation looking to charge extortionate fees (esp for masters), there has to be a reasonable path to longterm stay if they want to capture good numbers. 6 Likes |

Lexusgs430: I don’t think this blanket assumption that every student facing financial difficulty failed to plan or somehow tried to cut corners is fair or logical. Of course it’s accurate in many people’s cases but taking random news like this and laughing about them on the assumption that they caused the problem they’re in surely isn’t right. 6 Likes |
