Nice to know that it works for you. At some point, I got confused with their pricing disparity with other platforms and shedibalabalared lights grin


Red blinking - Bad news

Green blinking - Good news........ grin


All platforms charges spread fees (one way or another)........

Nothing like free lunch (but on the long/short term), your investments in cryptos, shares, index funds, etf's, forex etc etc......

Would pay you plenty more than conventional bank interests.......... cheesy

Are you saying that Boris and Priti are not being straightforward with the graduate route?!!

They didn't promise you a job, they said come in, fund the Home Office Enterprises with your visa fees, fund the UK university system with your school fees, provide cheap labour a while, preferably in care homes to keep our underfunded eldercare system afloat, then if you find a job paying a certain amount and if you can get sponsorship you can/might stay. The terms of the deal were clear - did you not read your own copy of the agreement before you signed?!

Na wa.

If they didn’t promise us a job, why did they release a “shortage occupation list” ?

Take it easy o. I dey vex . No put careless blame for my head.

......but they would prefer to date a guy with papers/BB that spends half of d day at the gym, smokes weed excessively, and with multiple FM grin grin

@Chuukwudi, Personally I tried different naija babes and they all seems to have the same reasoning that all a "hustling" student wants is the paper, which is not far from the truth. Also, I tried the XXL British babes I could lay my hands on but I do prefer my "bag of bones" as me sef na M. In addition, love is the ultimate, do not go for naija gals only. I wasted a lot of time tracking naija babes. Their are fresh babes from Ghana, Gambia, Zambia, SA, Poland, Romania grin grin grin My guy Explore o, na hard face naija babes dy carry waka.

I don't blame them anyways, as they say, experience is the best teacher. Naija migrants too don show them pepper BUT our naija babes too should try and reason with the good ones.

The XXL I dated was fantastic on and off the pitch BUT I had to end it with her because my reason for been with her is not genuine, last last I would still cheat on her with naija babes and that will eventually lead to something else.

So I had to take the bull by the horn, hopefully I get my own papers sorted, start carrying shoulders, and get a piece of the national cake from our naija gals grin




Where do I meet them? I work in the pubs as security and I meet lots of women who flirt with me. But I am always very careful as they are classed as vulnerable people. Normally their head no correct. I have heard stories of false rape accusations which eventually leads to the repatriation of the accused individual.

I play the piano and can sing sha. I have joined a choral group here. I’m the only black there!!! Maybe I will just dedicate time and roam around the Uni for a hunt!

I could maybe grab the XXXL available but the problem is that I am genuinely searching.

Working in the pubs, I now see students come around a lot in large groups. I check their IDs/passports, they come from different countries. It then dawned on me, that we’ve been denied a lot due to the lockdown. The little socialisation one can boast of at the moment is the one we get from workplace. That’s all.

Ah, you're still summarising the f- word. You havent really lived in Glesga yet then wink
I've not spent much time in Glasgow, just passing through on my way to or from London by night bus when I was a student in Aberdeen, but I have memories of the volume of profanity you hear in that their bus station behind GCU or on the couple of times I upgraded to a train and had to walk from Central to Queen Street. I don't think I've heard so many "f-cks" thrown around in a short space of time, even in London. cheesy

But on the other hand, I do agree with you about the friendliness of Glesga people, they are known for that, along with that their strong accent, they have this way of getting up close and initiating conversations (someone at a bus station once took it upon himself to show me how to pronounce Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen properly and gave me a lecture about the Aberdeen dialect).

A job was never promised.

There are jobs for python developers but the entry level is very high. Because most times you are dealing with data, and data is not something you joke with. A.I. on its own is a difficult task. Like you need to have been programming for more than 10yrs and have known data structure and algorithm to go into A.I..

Yeah you are right with the F-word. But I think it’s common in most cities abroad. But the difference is, here it is mostly used as an exclamation than an abuse. They use it to express surprise, shock, happiness, excitement and all. They say it laughing and smiling. It’s hard to fault a usage of that nature.

Feel free to vex as much as you want as long as you don't look for elsewhere to assign blame.
Channel your anger into making a way for yourself within the parameters of what the system offers.

Awww. Then you simply have to pay for nursery till she qualifies. Unless you aren’t working yet. Do half day (till 1pm) first. It’s cheaper.

If you test positive, you'll continue to test positive for a couple of weeks, so retesting is almost pointless.
It'll just be isolating till the 10days from your test date.

First off, I am not involved in AI and have done nothing that involves AI.

- Like you need to have been programming for more than 10yrs and
Fact check: there is no need to have been programming for 10 years. Many people with far less experience pick up AI and go on to excel in the field. I know people who have been coding for less than 5 years and have delved into AI successfully.

- have known data structure and algorithm to go into A.I..
Fact check: while it’s true that you might need some data structures and algorithms (queue, graph, search algorithms, etc) when working in the AI field, you do NOT need to know these data structures BEFORE diving into the field.
You can pick up the necessary data structures and algorithms you need along the line when you need them.


Let’s try not to gatekeep fields even when we might not realize it smiley
