Lexusgs430: Yeah thats right, what advise or steps would you have for a family with young kids who wants them to attend grammar school in future. So we can start to dey plan finances accordingly |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:48pm On May 08, 2020 |
fatima04: Move to an area, with enough Grammar schools...... Would be too much pain for kids to have a 2 hours journey, either way......... I know kids that attend from London...... London - Kent..... They wake up much earlier, get on the train, then one bus to school....... |

Lexusgs430: True, not sure of this my area though. What about preparation did your kids attend a prep school or just tutoring? Not sure how it all works. In my ahead, I see the grammar schools as a better version of Pro Unitate schools in Nigeria |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 10:46pm On May 08, 2020 |
LagosismyHome: Yeah and cost implications..make we start to they budget amidst visa fees and all. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 10:51pm On May 08, 2020 |
fatima04: The tutor's always came home...... Put your area in Google and do a grammar school check...... And before the main exams, some tutoring centres offer pre exam assessments (£90) per area..... They mark and show shortfalls etc etc 3 Likes 1 Share |

fatima04:It's not in your head , it pretty much is. The both aim to educate the brightest of the bright in the society. The slight difference being Grammar Schools were set up to help bridge the Gap between the Rich and Poor of the society whilst unity schools were set up to create an environment that would help foster the integration of the Various tribes in Nigeria. 6 Likes |

missjekyll: The quality of education has seriously dropped in Nigerian secondary schools ( especially government owned) including unity schools and model schools. Your sister coming out terribly does may or may not be due to this. Not all seed that's been planted grow. Some are duds No offense. 2 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by claremont(m): 5:53pm On May 09, 2020 |
valcorp: Unfortunately, you cannot directly transfer into the British Army from the Nigerian Army. However, you are in a unique position as your wife has a Tier 2 visa, and I'm guessing you have a Tier 2 dependent visa. You can use your dependent visa to join the Army as a soldier, as you are ineligible to join as an Officer for now. You can get commissioned to Officer cadre and attend Sandhurst after serving a few years as a soldier and showing strong leadership skills. If all else fails and you cannot join the regular army, you can always join the reserve airborne units. Reservist means that you will be a part-time soldier whilst working a normal civilian job. This is something you have to think about very carefully as you will be leaving an Officer cadre in the Nigerian Army to join the BA as a soldier, not everyone will fancy it as it looks like a career demotion. It might take you up to 5 years to get an Officer commission to Sandhurst if you are lucky, but it's not impossible. Good luck. Airborne! |

claremont: God bless the skylover,Death from above, even the birds are jealous cos on that day the devil himself screamed AIRBORNE(You mentioned being an airborne regiment vet). I really need clarification, can an army officer from Nigeria whose wife owns a tier 2 visa in the UK join the British armed forces? If yes can u please be kind enough to explain how? If no,what can/would u advice a 33year old lieutenant to do? I love the army (I am a infantry man THROUGH AND THROUGH though ours has a lot of issues but Some of us just love the career)but leaving a woman with an 8 month old in another man land(I love my family to pieces) is another issue and I'd rather leave Nigerian army than be an absent father. |
