Dude,just give it up. You will not be left until you tender a heartfelt apology to the OP. None of this "dont think too much of it" rubbish. You should have read through to learn how we address one another even in the heat of the argument .

We want to see a "My sincere apologies. I was being silly and wont do that again".

Otherwise ,just leave this thread for the polite inhabitants. My people,no be so? or am I being mean?

SavageResponse:


Did I say anywhere that I live in the UK or that I have plans to relocate there?

I have never written IELTS in my life and I have no plans of doing so, I only visit Europe and return to Nigeria

Anytime you see me in Europe or America on a permanent basis just know that Nigeria is already on fire (But we all know that's not gonna happen) grin

I'm sure you know it's a typographical error grin

All the same I would rather have a typographical error than write "Borrow me 5K instead" of "Lend me 5K" or "I would like to borrow 5K from you".


I'd prefer if you could BORROW some common sense and move back to Romance section.

The yoruba adage goes; ''a child being fed never understands the meaning of famine''.

If you took the time to consider spending N950 on a pack of spaghetti and N300 on an egg to keep your body and soul together, you wouldn't be here spewing rubbish.

People return here daily after a long day's work, seeking valuable information to improve their lives. Yet individuals like you come here solely to elongate threads unnecessarily.

Come on, kiddo, go do something meaningful with your life.

Was this how Zimbabweans felt it in those days in 2008?

You log in to transfer 20£ to your aburo. It’s 40,000 naira.

Between the time it takes your phone to refresh, the same £20 has now become 46,500 naira.

That is an ‘increase’ of 6,500 in a few minutes…

Yes and i hope we are not heading that way, we exprienced this in Zimbabwea. it was cheaper to use the Zim dollar as tissue rather than buying one with the money because you will need a bucket loads of it.

Price changes as you shop, we have to travel to SA for shopping as there is nothing in the shops in Zim.

Can a Tier 2 (skilled worker) visa holder register a business in UK?

Not really because you’re limited as to how many hours you can work on a second job. The second job sef should be in the same sector you’re sponsored in. This link explains more https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/second-job

Can the dependant of a Tier 2 visa holder register a business in UK?
[b] Yes & Yes. Free to fire from all cylinders.

I used the word "Tautology" for want of a better word to convey the import of what I said, not because I do not know the meaning of the word

It pisses me off when Nigerians use sentences such as "Borrow me your book" instead of "Lend me your book" or "Am going to the supermarket" instead of "I'm going to the supermarket"

It is true that we are not native speakers of the English language but if you have lived long enough among native speakers of English I expect to see some improvemen

@ToshoTosin my post was not meant to diss you so please don't think too much of it smiley


The bolded proves that you haven’t lived in the UK or amongst so called native speakers. The most common phrase here is ‘You was’, even TV presenters say that on a daily basis and no one bats an eyelid. The most important question is, are they communicating? Does everyone understand the point they are trying to put across.

Abeg if na that one, just leave those oyinbos. Many of them nor sabi anything.

Many are always surprised when they hear you have a university degree, they feel intimidated immediately. Especially warehouse and healthcare support workers colleagues.

I have someone facing something similar to this.
He has gotten a full license but have failed to update the insurance company, now there is a claim, company is speaking oyibo, owner of the other car is on his neck to repair. Wahala too much, he no know wetin to do


Wisdom is profitable i learnt in this country, the fact that someone got away with an action doesn’t mean the action should be Norms.
When I passed my Driving test first week of February, I was reluctant to inform my Insurance company, but story I read about the “4,350” made me to call my insurance immediately to inform them
about my change in circumstances.
To my surprise 😀, nothing change . No additional fee, no administrative charge , no increase in insurance premium.

Thanks God I am using Toyota Yaris( Insurance sweet and running cost make sense)

You will be covered if he has put in a valid application as the application will be decided on the old rules.

How many times will I tell you guys that I don't live in the UK, have never lived in the UK and have no desire to live in the UK or any part of Europe or America for that matter...I prefer to just pop in and out of Europe when business or pleasure takes me there!

My bad, I only just realised I strayed into the thread for economic migrants (UK Branch) grin

While we're at it I hope you guys remember to visit Nigeria occasionally so you can get some natural Vitamin D from the sun and eat real Nigerian delicacies such as...
suya,
efo riro,
ofe onugbu,
amala ati ewedu
nkwobi,
gbegiri
ofe nsala garnished with mangala fish
point and kill,
bush meat
African salad
akara
moin-moin
masa
akamu
okpa with a bottle of Coke
ewa agoyin ati Agege bread

I know some of you are already salivating grin

Too bad, continue eating your chicken and chips, burger, spaghetti with sauce that does not contain pepper and the rest of the tasteless oyinbo food tongue

Ah bos, thank you for saying this,

driving was a bit challenging o, I won't even lie, due to curvy mountains and going round it. maybe because we went at peak of shorter day longer night. but you cant go 1 mile on some certain roads without bends.

but there was enough barricade and nets sef for falling rocks.

Okay bro, we go stick to taking the bus, just to avoid stories that touch. Thanks bro

Bro, you're not popping in and out of anywhere if you're spending hours every day searching for minor grammar errors so you can give nonsensical lessons on Nairaland to people whose messages have been passed and received clearly by the people they were talking to.

You're most likely a jobless fellow just desperate for attention.

Odenson, everything is here mate. I even had akara yesterday. Today I'm having moinmoin and akamu. You just go to Angel bakeries around 11am, their fresh out of oven agege bread would have been ready. To complement it, they sell ewa agoyin. You won't get home before you finish it. This idea that those living in UK are missing naija food is just stupid. It's obvious you know fuckall.
