amajato:
Good evening all,

Please what do you advice. Currently in the UK but my family is in nigeria ( my wife and 2 kids)

I intend to bring them over soonest but I. Concern as my wife is just an OND holder in business administration., But currently a tailor.

What work can she do to support if they come. Since I can't settle the bills alone.

Please I need advice.. @justwise and all

Since you are already in the country you will know most flexible job etc retail, healthcare support etc require no degree and just some training to get going.

Depending on where you're based she can continue her tailoring if in a big city.

You will have to plan around childcare

When did the PSW resume? 2 years already?

Chei

These coin stuff, a friend was telling me about it when it was only 150 for ETH, back then bitcoin was the rave. Typical skeptical me ignored him only to jump on this year.

Atleast you made profit lol

I've read about the hassle Nigerian immigration give people without their Nigerian passport or visa to show entry, apparently some have been able to avoid the hassle by showing proof they are in the process of renewing their passport- paper works, officer on speed dial etc etc

its a big mess, backlogs everywhere, passport expired April this year and cant face the hassle of the High Commision here especially with all the stories and procedures changing weekly

MackyNaija:

There's no harm in shooting your shot...

I checked my naira account annual statement yesterday to see how much the country is bleeding me (need to save massively for our yankee house buying expenses)...

Just sticking to 'close' family and some friends has set me back almost 5m naira in 2021 alone,
That's an average of $1k monthly, I do NOT intend to keep that growing fatter.

Minus electronics purchased and sent, minus wire transfers, minus western union, minus other transactions that do not appear on the naira account.


Most immigrants from all over the world cannot escape this expense as long as their countries are being run by shit head leaders like those in Nigeria.
I remember someone wrote on this thread in 2017 - "leave the leaders alone" and focus on your life. How I go leave them when their stupidity in leadership is costing me $20k+ annually. I no get better thing to take money do??

Very vivid summary of why some abroad perhaps can't build wealth as soon as they want or in some cases at all!!!

Broo!!!!

MackyNaija:
Thinking aloud:
I too like book
Currently preparing for a certification, my company pays up to $5,000 each year for educational expenses and my manager has advised from Day 1 that I take advantage of it.

Problem:
I don't allow people to know when I am preparing for certifications or exams. Pressure deh deh higher.
How do I collect their money to write this exam and then not be pressured into passing?
Anyway, I need use their money

If na my money, pass or fail - I no send.

Na to stylishly ask if they will reimburse any staff that embarks on a relevant course.


True true you like book and be like say yankee employers like certificates well well

GO AND REVIEW MY 20YRS BAN ON TRAVEL SECTION BEFORE I FIRE U WITH SICKNESS,HONESTLY UNLESS U DONT DRINK WATER

Did you break the rule?

So I just refill the 3kg for 1950# in my area and before I even cook anything they’ve started using it and it annoyed me and I released the gas to the to empty cylinder when she gone out to her work.

Not wicked but a bit stupid. You want to kill yourself?

You could have just boiled water till it runs out. Have a chat with the husband, tell him you don't get to cook before the gas runs out. Buy food from the restaurant till they refill

Why not contact the hotel to arrange pick up

is Olodo train station operating now?

EgunMogaji2:
1) Screeding ongoing.

@Justwise

Really sorry to read about your loss.
Please accept my condolences ��

Ahh the good old days of NL

I saw someone's profile online and for some reason i went searching for Chambers2 MBA

Every flight delay in Nigeria is always attributed to 'safety' scam

They should start publishing flight stats internal flights. Let's see the inefficient airlines

How did it go? Took an alternative mode or made it to Abuja with a bus?

wizi4tyn:
justwise and DisGuy, has any of you flown Ibom Air before? Have you had a terrible experience with them too?

Nope, never flown with them before unfortunately.

@lalasticlala

EgunMogaji2:


We just need the state to step up and do the roads.

incredible how these governors dont plan thing to fall in place at the right time, almost as if they were not aware of the pending conclusion of the project.
I've been watching several videos of Moniya, seems the road is only recently getting the upgrade it needed .

EgunMogaji2:


Yes it’s very true.

Ghen ghen opening up a whole lot of opportunities!!

Iphone123:
Please house,is it possible to travel to Naija with an expired passport and proof of the passport renewal application if the person has a valid foreign passport?

Yes. You might get the runaround when you get to Nigeria but its just the usual. Stand your ground and don't give shi shi!

How's it going now....well settled in?

Tinyemeka:


How about your utility bills?

Outside of London, shared apartment could be all inclusive or £50-£100 total for utilities

Scholar212:
Yes the University is charging international students same fee as local student for masters in 2022/23 session

You said you're planning on using student loan and work.....student loan is not available to international students

TobyTreasure:
I'm about to make a choice between UEA Norwich and Northumbria University Newcastle. Please which of this is better in terms of payment plans and students job.
I'm just waiting for my POF to mature, then choose which of them to pay the deposit and submit my POF to.
I need your help and experience since you guys are there already. Thanks

Most of these school have similar payment plans tbh best to look online for cost of living and economy of both cities. Most people won't be able to tell you first hand information about two university towns.
Your decision will depend on the school's specialities especially with regards to the course you're interested in.
