For some, study abroad plans is such a herculean thing, they discard the thought as soon as it enters their minds.
Many Africans have a strong desire to further their education in developed countries but do not have the resources.
The good news is that the thousands of Nigerians posting their “Welcome to a new dispensation” memes on twitter do not have two heads.
The truth is, moving to another country in search of higher education and better career opportunities comes with a process.
You do not just decide to move to England, pack your bags and go.
Unfortunately, wishes aren’t horses so beggars can’t just ride.
As with life, there is a process to everything.
If you are one of those people that dream of studying abroad, you probably fall into one of the following:

However, most schools have a great payment plan for international students which allows you to pay your tuition is multiple installments.
2. You don’t have the right reasons:
“I just want to JAPA” is unfortunately not enough reason to begin a study abroad plan.
