But I thought the UK has relaxed it's laws with international students beginning this January with opportunities to stay back after graduation?

Op you are wasting your time with this thread. Most Nigerians prefer the UK because getting admission there is so easy unlike the USA where you have to jump through so many hurdles before getting one school. The worse part of it is they won't even go to Oxford or Cambridge, it's funny name universities like coventry and anglia ruskin . I can only risk schooling in the UK if it's oxford or Cambridge anything else am out.

We must come there, weather they like it or not & constute nuisance to them.
They are the cause of our problems
They can't eat their cake & have it back

God bless you immensely. I have been looking for how to create awareness on this issue.

If I had known that it was like this in the UK I wouldn't have bothered going there! People need to be aware that UK should not be an option. Its bewildering (and quite unfair) to make Nigerians pay so much money with little to no benefits in return. I was lucky to have gotten a job as soon as I got back to Nigeria, but what about the other over 30 school mates that were in my school that are jobless in Nigeria with no job to give back to their families for the money spent? One day, I went for a bank job interview, and I saw a lady that studied MPH in my UK University, she finished a year before me, which simply means she had been jobless for a year plus. I was so heartbroken seeing how the UK certificate had not impacted her in any way.

During my studies, I applied to over 100 IT jobs, I knew I was over qualified for some sef, but they turned me down the moment they found out that I was going to need sponsorship (even with the IT shortage)- me, that built their economy with my outrageous tuition! One time, one of the international officers in my school even confided in me that the Indians had blacklisted UK Universities due to the inability to remain in the UK after the amount of money spent, she wondered when we Nigerians would get sense and do the same.

I am always so happy when I see the UK threads reducing in popularity because less Nigerians are going there, rather, I am happy that the Canada, US and Australia threads growing with Nigerian youths that want a better life. UK is so so so not worth it!

Aphrodite007:


only those who attend Ivy league schools, after which you are given just 4 more months.. (to do what with? Care jobs or Retail?). The problem isn't the post study time given, but the fact that you can only work in the UK if a company will sponsor you AND 80% OF COMPANIES WILL NOT SPONSOR YOU!

writeprof:
Your article is very apt. A friend just had to return this January after his Masters in UK. Things are still tough as par job because his relatives sponsored him there- which I see as an error, especially since UK is not interested in them staying. Imagine spending millions and he is back almost sentenced to look for teaching jobs with a UK master's degree. There are many like him around me, especially those who because of their Christian beliefs refused to do magomago to stay back.
OP, you can build this thread by giving more info about possible countries and the benefits of going there. Thanks.

a few people get jobs. The country is very competitive that's why, and as such appears to be exploitative. Its because of its high competitiveness. Things might improve after Brexit, when the EU citizens are at par with non-EU

Aphrodite007:


Only doctors gets jobs, and these doctors must have work experience. What we are talking about is the ability for graduates to get jobs without expertise.

You are working in the UK because you are in the med field and have gathered work experience to label you an expert but Did you school in the UK? That’s the point. Our grievance is because we spend so much on the tuition and then don’t get anything in return.

If you spend that on cassava farming targeting industrial users as offtakers with improved variety and the right fertilizers/chemicals,you will make the money in one year

saouri:
Don't think. Do your own research..
There aare only 23 schools which have been added to the scheme which initially featured on 3 UK schools.

If at all there is any relaxation, it is not for you!
They are doing it because of their EU counterparts.
They never expected Brexit to happen and they are looking for every avenue to keep them (the EU) in...

It will be a window to give their EU people opportunities still.
Don't expect anything from this.

You have been duly enlightened #StayWoke

Uk is a dryland.

They are theifs and rogues who enjoy exploiting other countries like Nigeria, india etc.

Come to Germany(Free education and Numerous student jobs),Canada(Point base PR), Australia(Blood money wealth).

Uk government want your money but they hate you.

Abey, the UK is a small country and everyone from the 3rd world that can't make America want to come here! Are they plucking the job from trees?! That's why their tax na die! E no easy to be champion....look at the size of the country and you'll understand why it's difficult

Snappyfingaz:


Gbam!!! You just nailed it. Imagine a tiny space as UK where everyone wants to populate... If the UK was your house and you got everyone in a rush trying to come in where you have less space, won't you impose strict immigration laws? The country/region is theirs, whatever they like they will do with it, whoever they want to stay behind and wishes to stay behind will stay.

Aphrodite007:


Yeah of course, I support their immigration laws. Imagine if the laws were relaxed, we would have very bad Nigerians there, just like Italy. My point, however, is to not steal from poor people. The pounds is 500 times higher than the naira, why then should you charge us and exorbitant amount for tuition and then not give us an avenue to make it back? Worse still, they hardly give scholarships. We would even appreciate it if they can give us just one year post study visa to work and then leave afterwards, so that we can at least return to Nigeria and boast of one year international work experience.

Chevronstaff:
BEFORE GOING TO THE UK TO STUDY,THINK TWICE:
In the year 2013,after my brother completed his NYSC ,he was at the crossroads between going to the UK for masters or using half of the over 10million Naira for masters to start a lucrative business in Nigeria...

He later suspended his plans of going to the UK and started an oil&gas business in Nigeria...

Today,he has his own house,a good ride,living comfortably and set to marry his long-time girlfriend later this year... His decision to stay back in Naija paid off...

My point here is: if you intend going abroad for Masters,PLEASE DON'T GO TO THE UK...INSTEAD ,GO TO CANADA,U.S.A,AUSTRAILIA OR GERMANY where you can easily get a good job during and after studies and get your Permanent Residence with ease...

It's pointless paying high tuition fees in a country(UK) that won't give you a job after graduation but would rather send you back to your home country...!!!

There are some people destined to make it in Nigeria while there are some others destined to make it abroad..!!

Geetrix:


Well, education is a business there....Private universities cost more than Public in Nigeria...it's your choice!. Tuition is free in Gemany. The same tuition is 4-5x more expensive in the USA. What i mean is that, they offered you education, not employment. The employment dream is most people's own expectations...But having the education only puts you in the competitive employment market!

I think they only owe that to their citizens and EU citizens, then when there are still job openings after nobody takes up the role for 2-3 months, then we come in. However, i heard the jobs are actually there, but the problem is the visa!
