Same thing I read from where I stopped but I don't start responding to post that about 10 people have addressed and all of them are saying the same thing.
I move on to what is happening at the time I opened nairaland.

Responding to old posts takes people back. People that have forgotten the issue will now feel it's new and start responding again. Taking everyone back to square one and over flogging the issue.

If I respond to old posts it means I should have something different from what others have posted but I hardly do this I just scroll off to the post recent page.

Read and move on

Good you read and move on.... but not everyone has to adopt your style.

Some start commenting from where they stopped and comment before reading other replies

Some don't read and move on and are allowed to read and stay on topic. .

Really appreciate your advice and guidance regarding the issue with my bank. After 4months of dragging, ALL my funds have been returned.

For those trading on UK Binance P2P, trade carefully both with merchants and individuals. A merchant account and some other individual accounts tried to chargeback thousands of funds from my account after 3weeks of selling funds to them on Binance P2P. I think this merchant owns most or all of the other accounts.

Hi guys,
I have read here about the care sponsorship route but not sure how someone already in the system can get sponsorship via care. I came in last year via student Visa but currently working in a healthcare facility as a support worker. I have already seen online that my Company is on the list of organisations that can offer sponsorship but dont know if I qualify as I cant see specific eligibility requirement. Will appreciate any information on this.

hello elders in the house

Recently I have been researching on this Lifetime ISA thing to use in saving for a home purchase in 2 years from now. My question is: Does anyone know much about it and is it a good option for saving.

I have done my research just curious to hear from personal experiences too.

Thank you

Yeah. This is becoming more rampant. My advice is use banks that actually deal on crypto themself, so that it won’t be hard for your to tell them you actually transacted on binance and provide snapshot of the trade to the bank. Worst case the bank will tell you they don’t want to offer you their service again, but they will not play with your money.

I don’t want to mention any locations, but one particular location in the uk is known for this chargeback you talked about. I have been trying to think on how to settle this need of fund here. The P2P thing is becoming a nightmare.

I was referring to the baume/balm not the lait (lotion). The lipikar baume for baby and the adult has same INCI list in same order.

Is this cream/lotion that good? I've been seeing it everywhere.

Also what I have started doing recently is, after my trade and the money is sent to my account. I transfer it to another of my account where I do my personal buyings and payments. Sometimes I even transfer it from that account to my wife’s account to do the shopping with her card.

That way your bank will contact you and you people will be discussing without them placing a hold on the amount.

I started this pattern after one person did that thing to me and it almost cost me the DD payment to my school last year.

Hi gurus in the house,

Please I have observed that 95% of students who apply to study any form of Nursing in the UK also apply for Social Work.....including me.

Right now, I'm in a dilenma and I've been soul searching and trying to gather information on the internet to be able to make an informed decision. A lot of people don't really talk about Social Work prospects in the UK compared to Nursing which even a child knows about

So I'm posting so students who are ALREADY STUDYING Nursing or Social Works and also those who have graduated and are now NURSES and SOCIAL WORKERS can please through more light on things like...

Their experiences while studying
Their friend's experience studying the other course
Job prospects especially Tier 2 sponsorship because that is also why we're spending the little we have to pursue a masters abroad
If you had to redo it, would you choose the same course?
General advice?

I know I'm not the only one on this soul searching journey.

Yes on surface level, it's tempting to say choosse Nursing but remember that lots of people have gotten fraustrated along the line and are cooling off in jail or have lost their pin because of a costly mistake that could have been avoided years ago. It's not always about the money. Youtube is filled with people who drop out midway or switch so it would be nice to hear from people here which is the beauty of Nairaland. Personal undiluted experience

So what do you do when you have a passion for both?

Hoping to read from you all. BIg thanks

There no eligibility other than applying and getting a job that comes with sponsorship..... for now its senior care worker. I keep seeing more of those roles with NHS do check nhs jobs.

If your job sponsors then check with their HR team or who does the recruitment. It possible that they don't sponsor for your particular level of support work or maybe they do. Only them can answer this

I don't know your mother so I talk generally from what I seen. In terms of been helpful most times its even the girls mother . A lot of the men mothers are not helpful when they come (but this just generalisation some are different) so its even better her mum comes. My MIL doesn't lift a pin when she comes to mine and I am managing it as I see it . For the MIL that help their daughter inlaws God bless them. ...so yes exception dey. If she not comfortable with your mum coming then let her not come

this MIL/wife wahala goodness knows where it originated from. Speaking generally like you, women generally prefer their own family. Also when it comes to their homes, women are territorial and complex that even the husbands sometimes dont understand their wives but we love them all the same.

If MIL doesn't come, it becomes she doesn't want to help, she comes but stays in her lane it becomes she is not helping. She is helping and taking charge it becomes she wants to take over my house. The good MILs are cautious and will not want to be overbearing and overstep their bounds. At the end of the day it comes to understanding and mutual respect. Husbands that want to bring their mothers too, let them know the expectations, is it to help look after the kids, help with the run around etc. My mother says she has trained her children so we should train our children, so i wont go and bring her to come and train anybody here, if she comes she is on holiday.

After 3-4weeks of the trade, I received a letter from my bank that my account is on review. Also a letter came from the police inviting me for an interview regarding a money Laundering allegation. At the station, I was given a list of sellers on binance that reported my account to their bank. The report made was that I scammed them on a telegram investment group.

The only solution is to sell to ppl you know. selling for naira and exchanging to pounds may be another option but losses go dy.
