A new UK migration policy introduced in March has restricted study visas for Sudanese nationals, prompting British universities and scholarship bodies to withdraw admission offers and funding considerations.

Special thanks to @JFCrisp and Patrick Taran.

@buezeofobuike This is really a local government area chairman!

[Violet Ikong @Violetikong]

@AjimatiOlolade @Awele_sofine No, you read and learn. The students he took to the competition are not "government delegates." Alex funded their trip and made it possible for them to compete. You're the one who needs to calm down and read!

[Violet Ikong @Violetikong]

@AjimatiOlolade @Awele_sofine Do you, by any chance, have a comprehension problem?

@Scorpiobaddy @bolanleolukanni You people need to chill at this point. An adaptation MUST NOT be exactly the same as the book it is based on. Can you even name one adaption that was 80% the same as whatever book it got its story from?
