so it seems. i am in frequent contact with chinese and nigerian (to name a few) applicants who seek admission to åbo akademi. in general, the nigerians just don’t make it. and they’re furious. especially those that don’t get admission because they faked their certificates.
i come to think of how much i hate dealing with authorities that get to know a lot about me, whereas they remain anonymous themselves. especially customs, kela and the police.
since i deal with lots of applicants who don’t gain the right to study at åbo akademi, they get to know me by name. and i definitely would not like to meet several of them. in conclusion, i must never go to nigeria.
edit 14.7: add pakistan to the list.
Given the current state in Nigeria and Pakistan, they are maybe not the best travel destinations 🙂 Seriously though, I would expect people who fake their certificates to also try to cheat a lot during their studies (if they study at all). When I used to study, some foreigners had bad habits in this area…
