UK work visas for foreign graduates to be extended to two years theguardian.com/education/2019…
Now that the number of EU students will most likely drop significantly because of BREXIT, the UK is once again opening its doors to international students from the rest of the world. They know we come with good cash and make positive contribution to the workforce.
Theresa May had no business suspending the Post Study Work VISA in the first place. But extreme conservatives never get it. It was all about immigration figures. Even when most Vice Chancellors & University leadership were against it. She had her way. Making the UK lose billions.
Well, thank you @JoJohnsonUK for bringing back the Post Study Work Visa after 8 years. Loads of manage has been done and will never be reversed by lessons have been learnt and that can be useful going forward.
My people, oya o, go get your student visa. The UK is ready for ‘business.’ UK ya!!
I mean, most students want to have at least 2 years work experience after spending almost N14,000,000 in the UK on tuition, rent, etc. Even if they have to return to Nigeria later, at least, give them that 2 years Post Study Visa which will allow them find a job or study further.

Dear Nigerian Entrepreneurs, it’s 2022 and we must do things differently! That’s what smart entrepreneurs do. So, as you are working on those new year resolutions, please remember to commit to giving your business your all this year.
Commit to learn and unlearn certain ideologies and most importantly, commit to network!

I have made a commitment to share genuine opportunities with you throughout this year, starting with an opportunity for people interested in the Non-oil sector.
By now you should know I am particular about this sector this year because numbers don’t lie! So, if you already operate in this sector or aspiring to, you need to know about @fidelitybankplc's Export Management Programme.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research lately on some interesting trends that will likely reshape the Nigerian economic landscape in 2022 and what I can advise is for the Nigerian SMEs to please take seriously the non-oil sector.
It’s quite interesting to note that the non-oil sector was a major driver of the strong economic growth in Nigeria in Q2 2021 as stated by the Minister of Finance and Budget Planning – Zainab Ahmed.
This trend is likely to continue as several financial institutions are investing heavily in this sector.There’s likely something they’ve seen that we haven’t seen. For Instance, @fidelitybankplc’s unparalleled support for Non-Oil Export Businesses in Nigeria has been outstanding.

When I finished my MSc in 2011, I moved from Coventry to London where I immediately started a role as a Sales Assistant at Cancer Research UK. It was a voluntary role. I only worked 6 hours twice a week. I took on this role because I wanted to gain UK work experience on my CV.
I then got a role as a Customer Service Advisor at IKEA in Wembley, London. My Italian Manager at Cancer Research was so kind, she wrote me a reference for the role at IKEA. The pay wasn’t great, but I wanted to get more experience in the UK and improve my CV.
I got another role as a Call Centre Advisor at Fusion Contact Centre in Coventry. I was interviewed for this role and wasn’t selected. I applied again, got interviewed and got the job. All this while, I was applying for better jobs/PhD opportunities and was getting rejections.

In the last 10 years, I have been contacted by several international students who ran into trouble with their Universities per plagiarism. Most of them were able to pull through after taking advice, making amends, or putting forward a strong case. Some, unfortunately, did not.
Dear international students, you want to try as much as possible to avoid being in a position where you are accused of plagiarism. It can damage your academic record and even make you fail your course. You don't want all your money, time, and effort will go to waste.
Plagiarism happens when you present the written works and ideas of other people as your own original thoughts, works and ideas. Basically, this is cheating and cheating is academic misconduct. Try your best and avoid getting caught in this web.
