U.K. is stylishly becoming second Malaysia where they only want to suck you dry as a student but won’t allow you to work. How will a masters student not able to work for enough hours to foot his bills. Now, they’ve even scrapped dependence. Nigerians should stop spending huge amount of money to study in U.K. when there are other cheaper countries you can study. U.K. is taking undue advantage of the japa trend to milk Nigerians of their money.
... nigerians and the government should develop their own country nigeria and the economy and make it better and good with this all this japa to UK and other foreign countries will reduce and stop gradually......we nigerians like foreign things too much that is why this UK and other foreign countries embarrass and disgrace nigerians abroad..we should value buy patronize what we have in our own country and make it better and good

God bless you. It’s like you’re seeing what I’m seeing too.

To even start with, how do you expect student to be able to afford almost $16-$24k for a full masters program on their own without provision for some form of either tuition assistance or free access to some jobs or leniency in out of campus stuffs. Those student will still rent houses, pay bills, and etc.

FG have been subsidizing dollar for us which explained why people believed it is okay to just put down almost 24k pounds coupled with another almost 5m on processing and bank account props.

How many UK citizens even fit pay that amount? Even for America here, almost all American student got student loan which they use to support school except international graduate students that have luck with GA, TAs, Tuition Remission, and grad school assistance.

UK don cast. All my guys wey dey there self wan japa come USA. Even Canada self don dey get Kleg. But people won’t understand.

You will never hear this kind of news about USA students.

UK is just another glorified 3rd world country. How student no go fit get some hustle off campus or even tuition assistance to support them? Graduate school for that matter.

No graduate assistantship, no teaching assistantship, no tuition remission, no graduate school funds, no on campus job, no off campus care or gas jobs, no eatery jobs.

So if you’re gonna depend on your parent or family in Nigeria for 2 years tuition of almost 24k pounds, then that means you’re rich in Nigeria before.

How many UK citizens even fit afford that amount out of pocket?

To add on top am, they still won’t allow you to bring dependent easily again to work and support. So why are you blasting almost 40k pounds on UK admission/processing/bank statements/housing/bills/feeding when you’ll eventually end up begging for ordinary food?
hmmm. Thank you so much for this contribution. What advice do you have for someone who has the dream of relocating for a better life

The quality of comments on most Nairaland threads is getting more and more pitiful by the day.
It's either party, tribal or religious insults and accusations. Hardly do you find any intelligent discussion anymore.
How can intelligent mind rub shoulder with all these mediocre here on nairaland! Most of them have left or are just silent observers now.
To the honest, Nairaland it's no longer what it used to be 10yrs ago. These days ,we have children btw the age of 13-20 throwing insult at ease and incapable of engaging people in any meaningful discussion.. You know why ! Because their brain is still developing, that is why they are called children.

UK has been living off the ineptitude and corruption of Nigerian government officials.

Otherwise what does UK have compared to the abundant natural resources of Nigeria?

Any country that doesn't value or have plans for her citizens will always remain subservient to the West while her citizens bear the brunt.

hmmm. Thank you so much for this contribution. What advice do you have for someone who has the dream of relocating for a better life

The advise is that plan well and choose a better country to locate to except if you have enough money to play around then you can go to UK.

From what I know, UK is easier to enter if you have enough money for the processing and school fees. It is the most expensive.

Canada is also easier to enter to an extent if you have enough money and processing fees too. They are money stuffs.

You see USA, it is more harder to enter into but it is the least expensive among all of them. You only pay between $60-$75 as application fees, $350 SEVIS fees, and Visa fees of i think $160. You don’t need to pay school fees from Nigeria and even if you are broke and don’t have the school fees, you can still find a way to survive when you move. So like $600 will do all the processing up to visa approved/denied.

However, to get into USA easier, you can try to go for PhD straight. They still have higher chance of visa approvals than masters.

Masters visa approval rate is very low for US, so it’s less than 50% success rate.

In summary:
—UK is easy to get visa but you need enough money
—Canada is little bit medium easy to get visa but you need enough money
—USA is very hard to get visa, but it is less expensive for processing.

There are threads on nairaland where you see people discussing all these things. We have USA student thread, UK student thread, and etc. Just go there and read how people are doing it themselves, that is a great resource.

Mmm as a student, your SSN is only allowed authorization to work on campus.

However, USA is lenient. You can work under the table outside without the SSN either gas station, care giver homes, restaurants, and etc.

During my time in school, most people used their SSN to do Uber and they are raking in crazy money. Just that you’ll be careful not to let the money reach some certain amount because if it get to a high amount, Uber will report your earnings to IRS for tax purpose and it could cause issues.

Also, you can always use someone else SSN # to work. Not legal but people do it.

The summary is that USA purposely relax all these things for people, they know it’s illegal but they don’t interfere too much. But UK purposely make it extremely hard to even see all this.

To start with, it is an ignorant statement to compare UK, which is a member of G7 ( the seven richest countries in the world), to third world countries.

Two, if students go abroad, ignoring Nigeria universities, I don’t expect the FG to help in any capacity. It’s their choices and they must be able to fund it anyway. The damage that such a capital flight caused to Nigeria economy, putting immense pressure on the Naira, could not be imagined.

We all know over 80% of the students are bogus students. They just migrate using the students route as a cover. They do not have any money saved for the purpose to pay tuition fees. Their reasoning was that they would raise the tuition fee abroad by working abroad.

The worst part of it is that , most students are paying third party to do their assignments for them. If these students write exam, most of them would fail. I assisted two friends and they graduated with distinction in tech based master courses. I warned them that it would backfire but they put pressure on me to help them so they wouldn’t fail the courses, Today, they are working in care homes because they don’t have capabilities to get a job in the tech industries. Tuition fees gone to waste.

But how are they getting away with this? Once an international student fails to attend classes, they are reported to immigration. And the hours they work with a student visa is limited. Japa via student route seems like hardwork.

As a result, students at UK universities have seen their savings wiped out and budgets suddenly and significantly reduced, leaving them struggling to afford the cost of living.

He said students who hoped to find jobs to help plug funding gaps were limited by the amount of hours they were legally allowed to work.
"When I was applying, the exchange rate was around 600 naira per pound, but by the time I arrived, it was 1,400," he added.

It is unfortunate but the reality is that Nigeria can't keep using our hard earned forex to defend the naira against the USD to please the few among us while over a hundred million of other Nigerians suffer.

I knew that the chaotic and reckless manner people were leaving their jobs here and selling their properties in the name of japa will put them in a serious problem.

Some of these Nigerians trapped overseas willfully made a wrong bet that the foreign exchange will continue to be subsidized against the naira to keep dollars cheap with our hard earned forex, held in trust by the CBN for all Nigerians, to defend the naira for the few among us while those charged to do so steal us blind.
For Pete's sake, it was obvious that it's not sustainable to keep buying forex at subsidized rates. We didn't even have enough forex!

The good thing is that all hope is not lost yet, the current administration is committed to floating the naira, taking away the huge subsidies which depletes our earnings.
In the meantime, they can take a break to work overseas or Japa-da to continue with the better life some had in Nigeria but never appreciated perhaps till now.
