    Well! You must be wondering what a Middle Aged woman is doing subscribing to your channel. I have never done anything like this before, probably because I am too old. I came across your channel and just watched. The truth is that I experienced all the things you spoke about and more. I left Nigeria in 1984 to live in the UK when I was 15. I also went though hardship and had to live on £10 a month. It was worse then because I was in the north of England and there were no African stores. I am super impressed with your honesty and telling it as it is. Also paying attention to detail in your researches is truly admirable. It can be challenging but you overcame! You are obviously a very smart girl and I am sure you will do well in whatever you choose to do! I hope Nigeria treats you well. I am listening to my friends who have told me that I won’t be able to make it in Nigeria.All the best and I will keep watching!

    Nothing worth having is easy. Now you may understand why academic qualifications from the UK are so highly rated. The whole point of reading is to gain a full understanding of your subjects of study. Having done that you have to be able to demonstrate that. That is why we come down so hard on plagiarism. However you would be expected to reference what you have read and you must to be able to speak to it.

      Same as my school University of Ibadan particularly my department (Industrial and Production Engineering), They were so strict such that your similarity index must not exceed 25% for my final year project .. Our term papers and assignments were not left out .
      The peak of the matter was that if the lecturer in charge of the course or your supervisor is tech Davy then your similarity index should not exceed 15%
      The funniest part was that the plagiarism tool deployed by the university system is TURNITIN (the algorithm are to the extreme)
      I’m grateful to God for this training but it wasn’t easy then

    How far? Does computer typing speed give one an edge?

      Not really. It might give you an edge when taking notes in class but then typing speed is different from note taking technique

    Hello Chidera I came across your channel today.
    It’s nice to learn about all this
    I’m a Nigerian coming to study at university of Plymouth by September as an undergraduate
    I just want to ask some questions
    Would really appreciate it if you take some of your busy time to reply
    Thank you so much
    1st.. while studying in the uk were you independent or have sponsors ?
    Do you work to pay your tuition, rent , feeding and other bills yourself???
    I’m an independent guy and I’ve been since I was 17.
    I’m passionate about studying in the uk I want to expand my academic capacity and be more civilized in the foreign and more developed countries. But can I be successful as an independent young man studying as an undergraduate in university of Plymouth UK ??
    Please let me know your opinions it would matter a lot as you’ve got lots of experiences
    Thank you so much

      Hi, Godwin. How were you able to fund your study? I really want to study in the UK, but funding is my major issue.
