Congratulations bro. Though I don't know what this means. Has your visa validity been extended? How long?

Vietnaminfo:


Everyone's destiny is not the same. If you are convinced in your mind to travel, pray and ask God for uncommon favour. Make sure you don't go there and involve yourself into illegality. Before 3 months, God's favour must surely locate you. God is your connection and don't forget, pray and pray like everything depends on prayers. You will surely come back to this post to give testimony on how the grace of God found you. It is not easy abroad but with God, you can scale through. Make sure you take along with you some food stuffs, enough money to house and feed you for the 3 months and you will be fine. Congratulations in advance and I wish you goodluck and God will surely favour you. GO AND SUCCEED BROTHER.

Hello @ebuka10box and other posters,

Please forgive me if my post comes across as being rude; I couldn't just hold it seeing young Nigerian graduates choosing the option of going to UAE to hustle while there are other viable options that could be explored. I understand that there is nothing wrong in hustling, starting small from any particular country, but my concern is just that the same amount of energy and money put into this UAE struggle could be channeled into one of the options I would like to discuss here. Again, I seek your apology if you have tried this and it did it not work out. My opinion (which nobody asked for in the first instance) is that hustling in the UAE as a young graduate should be the last option.

Now, any Nigerian that has a B.Sc degree with a First Class, Second Class Upper, or a strong Second Class Lower and has personal conviction about their academic ability can write the GRE, and an English Proficiency Language Exam (TOEFL, IELTS, etc), if required, and apply to a school in the USA for a Master's or PhD depending on what academic level they wish to stop. Luckily, most schools waive the English Language requirements for Nigerians. Same thing applies to HND holders with Distinction, Upper Credit or a strong Lower Credit. The only difference is that holders of HND would need to do a credential evaluation using World Education Services (WES) or any other accredited credential evaluation bodies in the USA so that their HND certificate could be analysed as being equivalent to B.S. After graduation, depending on your degree, you have between one and three years visa called Optional Practical Training (OPT). If your course of study falls into the Science,Technology.,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) category, your work visa is three years. While non-STEM is one year. Paths to H1B visa and permanent Residency is another thing, but focus on crossing the bridge first! The difference will be very clear compared with hustling in UAE; young Nigerians should avoid any form of 'quick fix approach', with respect to traveling abroad, which may lead to a long term struggling and suffering!

There are many schools in the USA, carefully search for one ,two or three that accommodates your profile, apply for admission, seek for Graduate Assistantship position( it often comes with full funding and a monthly stipend that can cover take care of your daily expenses if you are that prudent). Apply for student visa(F1-Visa). You can follow the USA Students' visa thread on nairaland here. It has more than enough information to excel in this approach. Guys are always around to answer questions. It is simply a Do-It-Yourself thing. I was a product of this, and today I'm in the USA, planning to move to Canada due to family consideration.


Trust me, you won't spend up to 600k for your applications, GRE or TOEFL(if you chose to write it). This approach, I think is much better, and should be tried first instead of going to UAE . One does not need to be a child of a millionaire before studying and living in the USA; it takes knowing the right information, personal commitment, dedication, and self determination to get it done. UAE should be the last resort if you fall into the category of students I earlier mentioned.

This post is not meant to be rude to anyone, please. If it sounds so, I seek your pardon. The reason I put it up here is to inform those that might not be previously aware of this basic and simple route. Information is power. I got to know about this information I am putting here in 2016, and I landed in the USA the following year. If you have tried and it did not work out at certain stage, try and ask more questions on the USA students' thread here. The answer to your questions (breakthrough) might just be waiting for you. Peace unto everyone.

Third class graduates can apply for a PGD/C in Canada. My concern is the funding. I always assume that most Nigerian youths are of humble background and would need one form of financial assistance or the other. If a third class graduate has the money, he/she can try a PGD/C in Canada. Again, USA schools could be tried, but they should do a credential evaluation using WES so that the GPA could be rated over 4.0. WES has a way of ' boosting' Nigerian GPA over 4. You will be surprised that your GPA could come close to 3 point over 4.0 after a WES evaluation. Besides, most schools in the USA only looks at the last two years of your academic activities. So, if for instance, instance between 300L and 400L you have above 3.5/5.00, but your previous GPA ( 100L to 200) was poor, which lead to a CGPA of third class, you would still have a good chance. There are many schools in the USA that need students. You will definitely find one that can accommodate your CGPA, especially if you did well in last two years. This is the most important for most schools. Just ensure your last two years is good, write the GRE, then write a compelling Statement of Purpose(SOP) while your academic record in first two or three years were not so good. The USA in particular has a way of thinking. they won't assume you were not good for not having excellent grades in the first two or three years.
