Hello, please I need guidance on this. I am already in the UK on student visa since September with my spouse. We want to apply fir our kids to join us.

Do I still have to show POF for my spouse I and the kids? Please note school fees have been fully paid

Secondly, can I combine my UK bank statement with Nigerian bank statement? I am thinking of using my Halifaxt bank account to make up for the balance as I don't have time to start counting 28 days again.

bigtt76:
Yes o! If you start early, I'm sure before your 6 months lapses, you would've gotten the new one and saves you the stress of last minute renewals.

Thanks!

Do you know if I can start the process on their website? Or I need to goto the embassy in London

Pointers appreciated

Thank you for the correction. I stand corrected. What I intended to say is that the naira goes much further than the pound equivalent but that does not even matter, just saying.

Q: Why do you think many Nigerians are migrating? Nigerians migrate for various reasons. I for example, wanted to learn how to do things the proper way so I can contribute to the growth and development of Nigeria.


Q: What do you think is the annual salary of a manager in a Nigerian company? Since you left it open, my former colleagues who are managers now earn about £52k equivalent which is not too far from what I earn as a manager in the UK.


Q: How many active Nigerians in diapora have you seen return home to pick up a job? That's an individual choice, there are many, especially from where I come from, that return home. Heck, I spoke with lots of my friends back ome who have foreclosed the idea of moving abroad even though they have the means.

But as I said, it's all individual preference and what I like may not be what you like. That does not mean you or I are crazy.
Nigeria was good to me, may God give me the opportunity to pay her back.

bigtt76:
Yes you can. But ensure that when making payment online, the name on the card you are using should match the names on your passport. If different, it won't go through.

All these are financial alone. Don't wanna talk about flooding, labour laws, kidnapping, robbery

Nigeria is a great place, no doubt. We'd all love to stay back. BUT it's not hard to see why many people are leaving.

Can I start my application 6 months to Passport expiry?

Phenmeson:


That's the best thing to do.

Omo, this health care CoS don expensive now o. I know it used to be around 5 million when it started, someone was telling me an agent told he 12 million.

Why has it become this expensive, is it because of increased demand.

As it is, maybe the way forward will be to anonymously report these agencies make the worse happen. Because truth is you need staff, so why charge such amount.

Nigerians here in the UK hardly talk about owing businesses, why?? I haven't heard of Nigerians who own big businesses in the UK. Most I have heard about are those who own African restaurants, African shops, carehomes or care agencies.

£52k=47.8MiL/Yr?

I do not want to reply to this before but I believe some people make their decision depending on what they read online. I will appreciate it if you can quote any company in Nigeria that pays the equivalent of 48 million naira for a Manager in Nigeria. The one I worked for before in Nigeria is one of the highest-paid institutions in Nigeria and I can say with my full chest that a Deputy director does not even earn 52 million or 48 million yearly talk less than 40 million.

Unless you want to run things with paper company or being corrupt that the only way you can make exorbitant money in Nigeria.

Treadway:
too much cognitive dissonance on display here. Dustydee is talking about PPP not wururwuru conversions. You don't spend naira in the UK and we don't spend pounds in Nigeria. He already gave u a simple calculatior which I think is somewhat accurate. So if £30k pounds is about 6-7m in relative value, the 52k pounds he mentioned his friends here are making would be anywhere from 10-12m per annum. You guys just punch figs in a calculator like when they pay you that 35k pounds you will carry every single pound come naija next day to convert it without spending one pound of it there in the UK..lol

DoDirtsLikeWorm:


It is not wuruwuru, the devaluation is real.
The CBN rate can be said to be the fake, because you cannot get it or else you are applying for PTA (limited) or Form A, others you must go through a particular channel and that channel was what I talked about...NOT Student stuffs.

Meanwhile, if I hand you over £30k now, will you change it through that your so called wuruwuru or head to you bank for conversion? I want check something and I dey wait your response. I like practical 🙂

bigtt76:
Yes you have to show POF for each dependent joining you (excluding your spouse if he's already in the UK). Which of your accounts has the most funds to cover the POF? Best to avoid confusion though but yes you can combine both accounts with a cover letter to explain.

Thanks for your response! The Nigerian bank account has 99% of the fund. I just need like 87 pounds to complete it. Reason I want to use my UK bank account to supplement.

Though I added POF for my spouse who is already here in the UK. But from your response, I should be okay since I am not required to show proof of maintenance fund for my spouse already in UK.

Lolli2pop:
Hi guys please important question.. a friend of mine got married in 2019 but she kept using her maiden name because she was too lazy to apply for a new nigerian passport that would reflect her husband’s name. Now she is about to finally apply for a change of name on her pass post since her passport is about to expire.

She has a uk brp in her maiden name.. can she continue to use this brp even after she gets a new passport in her husband’s name. If she can’t, can she apply for update of info on her existing brp card before her new passport arrives or does she have to wait?

Her biggest concern was if her new passport comes with her husband name nd she continues using the brp card in her name, when she travels outside the uk how would she prove to the border control that its the same person for both docs. Could this cause an issue? Has anyone been through similar experience?

Treadway:
even those ones you mentioned can be counted by hand. First of, most Nigerians abroad spanning generations are not particularly given to enterprise. Na greener pasture/ work dey find go, no be to do business..Simple.

Second, the togetherness to foster a formidable community that in little strides will make things easier for everyone in the community like the Asians, is totally lacking.

Third, even the few who are entreprneurial have to deal with greater barriers to entry than they are used to back home, even for the basic things such as cost and legal requirements to start a business in these countries. So, there you have it. There is a thread somewhere here where this topic has been discussed.
