qwertyuioplm: Despite paying for subsidy and not a producing nation exchange rate moved from 140-180 ,what type of magic did he perform
He was using the money made from crude oil sales and the relief from our forgiven loans to defend the naira and pay subsidy. At some point, the money was bound to finish and here we are.
Thanks. Ultimately the decision is yours. If you are a first time buyer, it may be easier to go with the builder's preferred brooker. If you prefer 1st broker, please use them. I doubt there will be any penalty. The sales rep may probably get a cut of the fees hence their recommendation.
Viruses: I called this builder to reserve a property, told them I have a DiP, they said okay but asked that I call their mortgage advisor, that their mortgage advisor needs to see my DiP before they can go ahead with the reservation.
After speaking with their mortgage advisor, they didn't ask for my DiP, they carried their own assessment and are giving me the same lender as the former advisor.
I want to go with the former advisor, should I insist or play along?
lavida001: Thinking back to when you were aged about 14, which best describes the sort of work the highest income earner in your household did in their main job?
Just curious. what does this question have to do with job application
I believe it is for data gathering purpose. Recently, there has been suggestions of people whose parents come from a certain background find it harder to climb the career laddar than those from the upper class.
Labour actually want to win the next election though and to achieve this they are adopting a firm (missjekyll might call it rightwing) stance on immigration, seeing as it is one of the biggest issues the general public has had with them.
Libdems would be a sure bet though 😂
Well, immigration is just one of the issues. There are several other issues like the cost of living, tax, NHS etc. And what they say they will do is not necessarily what they will do when they get into power.
missjekyll: No one is advocating for throwing the borders open without checks. We just say process asylum seekers quickly and deport the false claims like other sensible countries . Let them work while waiting so they are not a burden on the state. We will not be overwhelmed. Germany hasn't been,why should we who take in far less than them
I would say your last statement is another right-wing talking point.
We are NOWHERE near full. Less than 10% of the country is built on https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/land-use-in-england-2022/land-use-statistics-england-2022 We have 1 million job vacancies which we have no hope of filling. When was the last time someone picked your call at the council? They just dont have the staff .I dont know about you but i am tired of doing the work of 2 people. I say Let them in
I think the labour party should select you to run in the next general election. You speak well on issues and back it up with facts. People may not agree with you fully but you make sense always. Well done.
Well i believe there are still some good ones among the lots. A friend here had issues in his marriage and they did alot to help counsel them. And they're still happily married till date.
It's like advising someone with cancer to go and see a Pastor or Imam instead of going to the hospital beacause someone you know saw one and was healed. It's better they see a professional.
First thing first OP, find a safe haven. You should move out for your safety and hers as well. Then speak with some people that are close to you both for interventions. If you're a Christian, get the church elders and pastors involved, if muslim, get your alfas and imams involved. Also get a marriage counselor to speak with both if you. If it seems like its not going to work out, then file for a divorce. Its not worth losing your lives. Play the calm one to de-escalate whatever tension that's brewing in your home. I know this is a tough nut to chew as some spouses tend to turn beasts in human form when they move down abroad.
Probably the worst set of people to involve. @palestineisrael please meet a professional counselor if you have to, not these people mentioned here.
I’m male based in UK. Wife and I have been having arguments/fights. Things have gotten physically unfortunately. I don’t initiate it. She says I trigger her by being on my own when we quarrel about couple issues or when I’m with my phone. She’s told me to leave the house. When I come back at night to sleep or when I’m using my phone/laptop around her, she will come and disturb me and start struggling with phone etc. She has smashed my phone. She has fought with me. Things are so bad she will bring out knives and say I should just stab her or use it to hurt her since my silence is “emotional stabbing” to her. Our physical struggles lead to bites, cuts etc. on each of us. I repeat, I keep running away or holding myself (absorbing slaps and knife pokes etc.)
Long story short, this has happened too much. At least 3 or more occasions. I no longer feel safe. I think we need to separate while things escalate to our families etc. for reconciliation/solution.
Challenge is: - we are on Tier 2 visa. I’m main applicant, she’s spouse. We both work. - newly weds, no kids - shame of failed marriage etc. - we share a flat. Our lease is up, we are just paying a rolling month on month. That can be cancelled with 30 days notice.
I need advice from Elders who have either experienced similar issues or know people that have. We bought have pictures of the injuries we inflicted to each other as ammunition if things escalate to police.
I’m really confused. Please help!!!
First, there should be no shame in a failed marriage. You are very lucky that a child is not involved yet. It is better you separate physically than for one of you to murder the other. I suggest you save up and find a place to stay. And if you two are unable to figure things out, file for a divorce. Both of you deserve to be happy. If she feels you are not making her happy by being on your own, try and change and if you can't or are unwilling to, leave her. Last last, you two will be ok.
You do not want "Nigerian immigrant murders wife/husband during a fight"
I am no body's doppelganger. I have disagreed with Justwise especially on issue that has to do with Russia and Trump. I am an avid Russia lover and Trump supporter. He is quite the opposite. However, it's not my fault that he makes sense to me with his writeups.
On the issue of church, I still attend church but I attend white dominated churches for so many reasons which I will outline a few.
Nigerian churches view it as an avenue to syphone money from her members and tendency to show off. I go to church but for thr simple reason of socialising.
Thank you. I was just guessing and your moniker was the only one I could think of
rinzylee: Let me even ask all of you that are angry...
1) Are you saying that we shouldn't TITHE at all?
2) Is your anger against paying TITHES to Church?
3) How many poor people have you genuinely paid your say £200 each month (10% of £2,000) since you so love poor people 😂 😁 😏?
Abeg make una answer
Na stingy people dey fight TITHING
Reminds me of Judas... he was so angry that a lady took a jar of perfume worth a years salary and used it to wash the feet of Jesus 😂... imagine using £35,000 to wash person feet
Stingy people 😂
My own is that anyone can pay tithe if they want, but just don't decieve people and say it's mandated that christains should pay it. That iswrong and a misinterpretation of the bible. If you must tithe, then you should consider obeying the other 612 or so laws or you risk incurring a curse. Also, make sure to use your tithe to buy and drink alcohol, as instructed in Deuteronomy 14:21 -ff. Also make sure you are giving it to the Levites too as instructed in the scriptures.
The Giving of Tithes 22 “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. 23 Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.
24 “Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25 If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. 26 When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. 27 And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.
28 “At the end of every third year, bring the entire tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in the nearest town. 29 Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all your work.
I thought I was the only one who noticed. It’s like there is some voyeuristic orgasm she gets whenever ‘Church’ is mentioned. Even if she’s on Nairaland holiday. As soon as church is mentioned, she will rush to castigate.
What I know - for a fact (and based on my UK experience) and the experience of thousands of others is that we have amazing stories of how God used the Church as a place of comfort for us when we arrived as newbies in this obodo UK.
For every 1 negative experience that some people may have, I dare say there are thousands (nay, millions) of positive experiences. But guess what? A microscopic few, very vocal minority makes it look like the ‘Church’ is a horrible place. Far from it!
Ps: Who else notice that there is this certain individual who is like Justwise’s doppelgänger. Whose moniker starts with the 1st letter of the African country that Priti Patel (and now Suella) wants to send small boat arrivals to. The individual’s moniker ends with the letter of the alphabet that rhymes with eggs. The individual Always, always concurs, seconds or supports any post by Justwise. 😉😉😉😉😉
So many selahs and solid points in your comment. I especially like the bolded, because when some pastors compel paying tithe as a law, they conveniently forget that the Bible says that if you live by one law then you are no longer under grace and you have to keep all the laws.
My sister if we talk now they will say we do not understand the the bible. Christians are not under the law but we tend to pick and choose which part of the law to project if it favours us. I am seriously unlearning a lot of things taught to us erroneously in the past. The sad part is that some of the information is in plain sight but we only see it through our tinted glasses. @rinzylee: If they do not own private jets, will the gospel not be spread? I dare say it might even spread faster. Why can't they charter for example, if they must fly one? Will God be angry if they get to their destinations a day later? Why can't those inviting them fly them there? By all means pay your tithe but know that there is a curse on those who do not uphold the law Galatians 3
10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." 11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.
but let's move this topic to the appropriate section, we have derailed enough.
Now let me try to do some explaining and I stand to be corrected and would appreciate any contribution too.
To start with, TITHING precedes Jesus Christ. It was even practised before Abraham came. So it is not a new testament or modern age fabrication. Infact Jesus made a very emphatic statement in Mathew 23:23 NLT translation "“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.
As much as it is a command by God, I will also say that He will not kill Mr A or Mrs B if they default , but there are conditions He has put to the obedience of that COMMAND. Infact, every blessing or promise in scripture has a condition to experience it. Even SALVATION which is FREE is based on the condition of REPENTANCE and BELIEVING in the finished works of CHRIST.
I agree that there are a lot of people who are not true men of God or who are basically interested in material possessions and have made a nonsense of the prosperity message (which is part of the gospel), but we must also not throw away the baby with the bath water.
Whether you will go to HELL for not paying TITHES, I can not guarantee, but what I can say is, if you have chosen to be a Christian, then trust God for GRACE to practise all its essence.
Brother, I think you are mistaken. First, what is tithe? Then what does the bible say about "paying" tithe. Was the instruction to pay tithes made to christians or the Jews? That passage you quoted, Christ was talking to Jews (The Pharisees) not Christians. What about parts of the scriptures that says you should use your tithe to buy alcohol and drink? You mentioned "essence", if tithing was essential, why did Christ say it was not important? If you choose tithing as one of the laws to obey, why are you not obeying the other 600+ laws? I agree that giving is essential and good but why do we use it to build edifices and buy private jets. Christ said "Go ye into the world . . ." not build me palacial places of worship. Since I realised the truth about tithing, I have refrained from "paying" it. I concentrate more on my giving. It is not recorded that the disciples paid tithe or ordered people to pay tithes.

They asked for your passport and visa, send them a copy of your passport and tell them that as per previous discussions, you will require visa sponsorship and you are awaiting further instructions from them on how to apply, including certificate of sponsorship.
The amount the car is worth is £1830, which is what he's entitled to in full.
Now that the car is written off, the wreck* (which the insurance company will own) is worth £420, so they're saying, 'if you want to keep the wreck, we'll deduct the price from your payout). So if he says they should take the wreck, they'll pay him the car's full worth, but if he wants to keep it, he'll pay them that residual sum for the wreck and so they'll only pay £1409.
*Saying 'Wreck' just for clarity. In many cases written-off cars are perfectly driveable except for dents, broken lights and cosmetic issues, especially Cat N (non-structural) ones like this one. Takes some effort to get recertified as roadworthy (compulsory before driving on-road) but often well worth it.
Yes, that's my interpretation which is different from what oga Lexus wrote.
The vehicle is written off, the value before the accident was £1830, but now with a salvage title, it's only worth £1409.10..... ..
If you want to dispose the vehicle, 1830 - 1409.10 = 420.90, once salvage pack is received, you would receive the balance of £420.90.........
So in essence, your insurance would only pay 1830, but you can keep the vehicle (den dash you)..... Make you dey carry your wahala go........ 😜🤣
NB : Reject this first offer and say the car is worth more...... They would ask you for proof...... You might still be able to squeeze £200+ out from your insurance company........
I would have thought the car is now worth £420 hence why they are offering to pay him the difference, is that assumption not correct?
Don't think they have. I'll look it up. Do they specialize in these?
They are very good in orthopeadics. Dr. Ogedengbe and his colleagues treated me when I had multiple fratures and also treated Buhari's son when he had that accident. I believe he returned to Nigeria to start the hospital.
I have a friend with similar situation. His wait time though is 9 months. This is crazy..she is considering going back to naija or check to see if she can go to any EU country but doesn't know how that works. Also, an aunt of mine back in nigeria needs spine surgery and knee replacement surgery, does anyone here have a knowledge on how one can get it done in either india or any reputable EU country that can give her a medical visa to get it done. Edakun!
Has she check Cedar Crest hospital in Nigeria?, they should be able to help.
Viruses: I have a few questions, if you have an answer to any please provide:
* can I go to a private gynaecologist without NHS referral? * what is the average cost for a private gynaecologist? * if I do private health insurance, will they fund visits to private gynae? * the wait time for NHS gynae is quite long (around one and half year) am I better off going to Nigeria or another EU country? * if you have used a private gynae, please refer with any information that may be useful.
Thanks
You can check some prices on the hospitals website then compare it to cost of travelling to Nigeria.
Like or hate him, reno is a very knowledgeable and studious person. He raised very valid points which are yet to be coutered. The guys above just provided verses that support Reno's assertions. Unfortunately, it will be very hard for modern "christians" to unlearn some of the things they were erroneously taught.
Sure he can but why change job to earn less with the 'hope' of earning more in future?
Perhaps because he may earn much more in the future than he could ever earn doing what he's currently doing? You know some jobs have a pay ceiling, above which it is very unlikely to earn more. Just may be.
