Good day dear house ps my step sister wishes to apply for UK student visa from Nigeria for her master and she doesn't know how to go about it. Ps I really need someone that will be able to give us all the guidance she need and the procedures. The most important thing is that we want to know how much she can have in her savings account to procedure for all these. Will 4 or 5M be okey ps

There are several threads in the travel section discussing this comprehensively, she can look up the information on there and ask questions- If she is going for Masters she will have to do a lot by herself so its best she register or use the read up information from there, the school website and UK.

You really don't need any other skills to add. Just be able to deliver when called. Here, they don't care who you are if you're very good at what you do.

From my experience, the most in-demand php web development roles are in Drupal/WordPress CMS, MVCs such as Laravel, Symfony, Zend 2/3 and maybe Codeigniter. Front-end experience is also important especially in JavaScript (Vue.js, React.js, Node.js, JQuery, Vanilla) and maybe some responsive design with Bootstrap.

You are also expected to have a portfolio of your past projects (create a GitHub account if you don't already have one) and some experience in other areas such as Linux, MySQL, Apache/Nginx and so on.

With your experience in J2EE you can also get into Android development. On your CV, try highlighting all your relevant skills and what technologies you used in your various roles. Create profiles on cv-library.co.uk, indeed.co.uk, LinkedIn.com, monster.co.uk, reed.co.uk and so on.

For Masters, you should look through the modules on the computer science programs at universities close to where you will be living to ensure you will be gaining some more relevant skills and not outdated skills. Software/web development roles are more dependent on experience and what you can prove such as past projects and on coding test/projects to complete within a very short time. Also expect to be grilled on your technical competencies. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your prompt response. Really appreciate.. should I be thinking of working as a freelance developer or working with a team in an office environment? Which do you think is more feasible for me? I like to resume somewhere , relate with team in a work environment. That's what i ve done for 6 years. Yes, I have a portfolio of my past projects, will get them into github as advised.

I work well with mysql, mssql, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, spring mvc, Native PHP, WordPress, Joomla, j2ee.

Just getting into node.js.

I guess I should just focus on the skills I have already into perfection and add 1 or 2 things.

Thanks a lot.

Freelance is very tough and highly competitive so probably look into full time or contract roles. You have an impressive skills range so you can keep developing on those. Nothing wrong in adding new skills it always helps. You shouldn't have a problem finding roles both contract and full time but usually UK work experience is important but if you do well in interviews/coding tests then you will be fine. If you live in a big city like London then much better. Also important is if the company feels you will fit in well, so presentation is important. You may have all the skills in this world but they would want to know if you can work well in a team.

Wifey needs a job, something suitable for a pregnant woman; online work would be great! Any links or help is appreciated.

Kudos, do keep up the good work Fatima04, and others.

If she has got a craft, or a passion, even if it is just talking, she can set up a youtube account and eventually AdSense account where she will be making money for the no of views and subscribers. The only thing I would say is that black people should subscribe and support each other more so that we can build and develop our community.

If I see a Nigerian on YouTube, whether I have interest in the topic or not, (I know its very difficult for blacks) I always subscribe, view and comment on their videos to show my support.

Let us try to support each other more, if more than one person in our community is doing well indirectly you are doing well. Let us try and stop the world media from associating blacks with ghetto and poverty.

It gives me a lot of pleasure to see my fellow hard working brothers and sisters doing well for themselves.

Good day house, ps I will like to get some explanations on this issue about a friend of mine waiting for her hubby to fill for her stay from Nigeria.

She said the hubby came to the uk as an EU spouse, the hubby was married in Germany and later the he persuaded the white lady he married to bring him to the uk, that he prefers the UK to enable him further his studies, which the white lady did, dat was in jan 2011 they came to uk. The white lady did all the immigration runnings and he got a five years stay, which he can still renew. So later in 2012 they divorced amicable bc of some circumstances , without no grudges, and the guy stayed alone. And in 2017 he applied for his permanent resident but was not given. The reason given is that he should provide a proof that the ex-wife was working in the UK bf divorce. But the problem is that he has losted contact with the lady and when contacted on Facebook, she has refused to respond . The lady av left UK. So the lawyer told him that when he is feel to apply on his own is in two years time. Which is ending of 2019. Ps house is this true? My friend has been confused and she really need to join her hubby, she is tired of staying alone here in Nigeria.


More so her husband is a surpport worker and works with diff agencies here in London. I will like to ask when he gets the permanent resident can the hubby apply for her with agency pay slips or will he need to get a full time job for this application? The man says he makes more than £18,600 in a year bc the agency pays him more. Ps any advice on this, should he switch to permanent job when he gets his permanent resident and want to fill for his spouse?

Hello Madam, are you still here??

Yep. Sill here

So one silly voice spoilt my day and decided to rear it's ugly head after 45mins of getting to work, and that was the voice of " did I switch the gas cooker off". I was 70% sure I turned it off but just couldn't shake the voice.

The annoying part I wanted to avoid was taking a cab as tram/bus will take me like an hr so I decided to call my electricity provider emergency services asking them to switch it off while I was at work. The guy was helpful but kept sounding like "just ask your boss to release you now" and also the what if something bad happens and I could have avoided it with 30 pound

Eventually, rushed home met the emergency guy waiting for me and of course the cooker was off, I was so pissed ehn and I had to confirm if I was going to be charged for the emergency visit and the guy said its free, I was quite happy with that but mad about the money had to pay for the fro journey, e still they pepper me for body.
