September 14, makes it 10 solid years since I packed my stuff and left Nigeria for England .
I have changed visas from Tier 4 (students) to Tier 2(Skilled workers) and then to having my British passport .
I have done all sort of jobs from HCA to currently being a thriving Family Physician.
I doubt my life would’ve changed significantly if I stayed back home in Nigeria. YOU NEED TO MAKE A BOLD MOVE.
I’ll be sharing 10 things I’ve learned living in the U.K. these past 10years.
Something happened today, I was helping a close family member with Canadian stuff, we are on the verge of submitting his PR application, and he experienced some technical glitch, I agreed to meet with him on Teams and I told him to share his computer screen, the first thing I saw on his computer WhatsApp downloaded app was my name saved as "Stingy Uncle" with all my messages, I screenshotted it before asking questions. Mind you I have been on this journey with him for the last 2+ years, I know how much the information I gave to him was worth, and I know the negative seed his own dad sowed into my life. I am not going to pay an eye for an eye, but I made my feelings known. 😡💔

I have helped 250+ students with their scholarship applications in the last 3 years. You can get a funded PhD/Master's, too. It's simpler than you think. All you need to do is identify how you can contribute to your field of research.
Most people who get rejected don't know this:
Just writing that you're passionate about/interested in X is barely enough.
You need to go beyond passion.
Talk about the applicability of your interests.
Think of it like:
• How can my research contributions can solve a certain problem?
• Can I think of any alternatives that might make this methodology more efficient?
• What makes my background & vision consistent with the goals of this lab and/or program?
Once you have this, writing your SoP is no big deal.
You now have to think about your CV.
Most students who get rejected have a shabby CV.
• It's filled with vague work summaries (always use action verbs)
• Too many colors (go for black & white only)
• Weird formats (no tables & boxes)
Again, that's not the end. You must make sure your referees write STRONG LoRs that really encapsulate your suitability, accomplishments & abilities required to succeed in grad programs.
They won't be able to write such a letter if:
• You asked a wrong supervisor
• You didn't give them enough info on why you think you are the right fit for the program & why you're applying (your short & long-term goals).
• You didn't give them enough time.
Remember that rejections can be avoided about 75% of the time if you plan with a calm mind.
Doing everything at the last moment is a waste of your time, money & potential.
I'll talk more about how to write impressive research proposals & personal statements soon.
