This is so horrifying and heart breaking. God please comfort his family members, I don't know how they will copecope with this kind of trauma.

They sent their innocent child to school and he got stabbed by a random man for no reason. How they will bear it I don't know but may they find comfort somehow and I pray the deceased child rests in perfect peace.

And he had been in the school since he was 7 so must have formed a solid community, his classmates, teachers etc must be in shock too.
I don't know if this North East London is generally a dangerous place or if it's known for stabbings.Either ways, lives have been destroyed.

As parents they did their best, tried to provide the best education in a safe environment and yet something this horrible has occurred

God please comfort them, their pain must be indescribable.

You must be a joker to think that because one is in the West, one cannot criticize objectively and quote data and facts that are littered all over the internet on how the US and her allies have assassinated heads of states, invaded and bombed nations causing significant human right violations, genocide etc. I do that and I hate the US and NATO.

That I'm in the West doesn't remove the fact that the US have always and would always remain the bigger aggressor over Russia, China et al.

Because I'm in the West, I should be blinded to fact and common sense.

By the way, who the hell made you guys the landlords and landladies of the West for heaven's sake?!!!


At the moment white university students in US are protesting against the innocent killing in Gaza and calling Israel for their atrocities but Na we Africans Nigerians for that matter choose be western advocates.


If we say Lord lugard was right now Youna go dey vex 😂

Apologies, he included marriage certificate with pictures from the traditional, reception and court wedding. He also included chat history from when they were dating till after marriage, he also included the wife’s travel ticket when she visited Nigeria and pictures they both took. They have been married for 2 years now. They dated before she travelled but broke up and came back again. Wifey has been in Ireland for over 5 years but has been to Naija 3 times since they got married 2 years ago.

He wants to appeal but doesn’t know what else to add or how he can make his appeal successful

That's why I said "majority" of their policies, and their core values align with mine.

Furthermore, I can choose to vote for a different government if I don't like the policies of the incumbent. In China and Russia, there is no choice as any strong opposition usually doesn't live long enough to get on the ballot.

I'm not dick riding anyone, I just personally believe the West to be a far better place to live and thrive (especially as a person of colour) than these other countries that don't even value their own citizens, much less a black man.


One of the things I like about the UK is that the whites at least try to hide their racism, the system makes conscious efforts to punish racists here. But in the US, racists don't really fear to display their prejudice. The system there doesn't really care.

Any data professional in the building, would love to connect. Plus is there a thread or even forum network for Black Data professionals in the UK?

I have recently ported from project management to a core data quality role (did MSc.data science) so need to overcome my imposter syndrome and be confident in my dealings with ‘onyibo’ and colleagues.

Hi everyone
I've been a silent follower of this thread ever since I started this UK journey and I have gotten so many useful info that I use immediately or screenshot to use later. Even the ones on future goal like parenting, inesting, buying house...I don screenshot grin I just need help concerning loan. Everything I have read, screenshot about loan and credit cards, I no just understand cry
Pls suggest banks that will give a loan of £3000 or more. My credit score is still low and my bank (HSBC) said I'm not qualify for their loan. I want to use the loan for IHS payment. I have read through the thread and I saw some pages on 0% interest loans that can be use to pay when apply for ILR but truth is I don't understand it. Kindly help. Thanks. sad

Lastly, black people, regardless of where they come from, should stop criticising China. Leave that to people who have built functioning societies.

No Sir/Ma'am, I will say whatever I like , criticise whoever, associate with all legal associations and still go home and sleep peacefully to wake up and do it all over again because I live in a democracy. That is the whole point. Voltaire summed it up nicely I believe that's what jedisco,zarah have been pointing out


I also read somebody say Nigeria has been a democracy for 3 decades and is still rubbish.

To that person, I say that the fight to maintain democracy is a daily battle. It never ends. America thought being a democracy for 200 yrs and having experienced peaceful transfer of power made them immune and ,shall I say, smugly complacent.
They had a rude shock on 6/1/2021 when that nearly didn't happen.

Even as we speak half the country are still happy to vote for a man who has promised to jail opponents and suppress free speech.

If this can happen after 200 yrs, 3 decades is small potatoes. We will keep voting till we get it right

Any loan provider, would use your credit report to ascertain your loan eligibility status.......

The better your credit report, the lower your APR........ Some loan companies might take a chance on you, but would charge you neck breaking and pocket bursting Apr rates.......

Novuna and Admiral, are very good for best credit score........ 118118 would charge you pocket bursting interest rates........

NB: Register with Experian/clearscore/totallymoney, and conduct a loan eligibility check.........

A loan will charge interest albeit at a low rate depending on your personal circumstances. What you require is a 0% purchase credit card over a longish period. That way you can pay your IHS and have ample time to pay off the credit card without accruing any interest.

And there is unlikely to be any such thing as the NHS Central Intelligence Unit. Someone has been watching too many films and that's the extent of their imagination.

There are people whose job titles are Central Intelligence Leads in the NHS Counter Fraud Authority so it’s highly likely there’s a central intelligence unit. An example: https://beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadvert/G9076-22-6070

Regarding the grammar, the person who wrote that email is almost certainly a band 3, of which the requirements would be GSCE and basic computing skills, so it’s not unusual to see errors in emails at that level in my experience.

On the whole it seems pretty authentic to me, but who knows?
