As a patriotic Nigeria, I was honestly only curious to know what the stats say about my country and frankly, im not surprised by my findings. Apparently, we as a nation export students in the ten of thousands to other countries for higher education, but NOT one student is imported into ours (not even from our neighbouring African countries). Honestly, thats quite shameful. However, stats like these only motivate me even more to pursue my nationalistic dreams. I believe in my country and the potential it has to become a GREAT nation (IN MY LIFETIME). PS: I was one of the 6510 students that studied in the USA. However, since graduation, Ive moved back home.

It's quite nice to see where students are coming from to study in the UK, it is a compliment for the UK that so many people around the World believe the UK education system is worth travelling around the World to be apart of!

"Did you know the United Kingdom is one of the top destinations in the world for students to pursue higher education?" - yeah of course then. I guess everything now seems to be so alright.
