For those that have I applied for provisional driver license, I need some information around the documents to be submitted. I filled the form online and I paid £34. After 2 weeks I received the form from DVLA to complete and send back along with the original proof of identification.
I am getting confused as they mandate it to send either original brp or NIN. i want to hear from guys who have applied before. I don't want to take a risk with original Brp as they make it know if the documents lost on transit they will liable for such.

Hmmm this is nice but tricky, because as you’re putting in your details to get your data, they are also collecting all your data as well. Lol

Send your brp(or international passport), you will get it back.

I followed the instructions below and got my Provisional License in 7 days. I only sent my BRP. My Provisional license was delivered first and the next day my BRP came back as well.

I have about £4,000 for sale if anyone is interested. Just like Lexusgs430, I don't really know the modalities for exchange amongst strangers.

Omo!
I'm short of words! This is so insightful!
I'm particularly interested in this topic as I am already thinking and planning retirement now. The trust route is an interesting one I would like to explore and understand better....will have to do some more research on that.
I find it also very fascinating/admirable/inspiring that the people can still be trusted as in the case of pooling funds with the other couple....if people can be honest in their dealings, there will always be more to be more gains in working together..

Thank you for always taking your time to share knowledge even though you are not obliged.

We've heard of trusts but I thought one had to be at Bezos level to have one
The financial advisor (he's also a tax specialist) was very good at explaining everything to us and all the different ways we could structure our finances for the future. He said the best time to start succession planning is at the accumulation stage which makes sense. Basically look after the pennies and the pounds will sort themselves out.

With the pooling of funds, we sat with a solicitor independent of both families and drafted an agreement before we went ahead (the monies was presented to the bank as gifted). Then with a broker to work out how much each family could borrow based on the monies we had.
They contributed more initially so the agreement was when we sell, the funds would be split 60/40 in favour of them so we each had enough for a deposit in our own right. The property market then completely took off and we didn't need to sell so remortgaged and pulled out more than triple what they contributed and gave them everything we pulled out. There is definitely more gains to be made working together.

Fortunately and unfortunately, the property market has started cooling but rentals are in crazy high demand (government as usual tinkering) especially now the borders are officially open. However, we are targeting a completely different rental market. There is a huge lack of social housing. We have record numbers of families (24k families) in shitty temporary accommodation (hotels, motels etc) so that's our target market. Families sit on housing waiting lists for up to 3 years The government will pay market rates to private landlords and take a repairing lease. So they're fully responsible for all damage caused by the tenants and have leases of 5 and 10 years.

It's the same in the UK as well. Housing associations will rent from private landlords and put social housing tenants in them although they cap the rents in the UK but it provides a solid rental income with minimal hassle.

I have acquired a lot of my knowledge from people sharing with me and guiding me to the the right places to look up stuff, talking through their plans and sharing their ongoing journeys. We can only grow by sharing the same knowledge among our people.

Lol… that reminds me of when I did my son 3 years birthday party, I invited couple of guys and one family with their children. Can you imagine my friends wife asking my own wife if she has friends, my wife said NO, she kept asking why my wife doesn’t have friends amongst Nigerians ( NB: My wife is Asian )….

I was just amazed, how can you be asking an adult why they choose not to do some things…. Some people don’t really mind their business..

MichaelUde:


When I talk say Nigerians and their communities are best dealt with in very small doses, people no go understand.
When I first come this country, my madam don already go put hand for Naija community for Manchy. I can live with Nigerians and their faking and forming (the number of strange approximations of British accents person hear dey wonderful), but when they come up with their so-called advice giving, na there I leave them.

I heard UBA fee is up to about £3,900…. I’m trying them by July…

Samadhii:


Hi, is there a maximum for the maintenance fee. A friend here wants to get his accommodation and the bank told him the maximum he can get is £1300

Have you considered NZ or Australia? Be warned that it is very very far from anywhere else. I always say NZ is what Nigeria would be like if it was classed as developed. It has lots of developing country vibes and attitudes and of course lots of opportunities for everyone. Once you have international experience, the world is your oyster! A work to residency visa gives you residency after 2 years and PR after 2 years so 4 years in total. Salaries are good (husbot and I have both doubled our UK wages) which will be frustrating for us when we return to the UK in 2 years time. It also has a small emerging Nigerian community (less than 1000 of us o!)

Pls what do I need to relocate to NZ pls
Myself and my wife

Your best bet is work your way through that list and apply directly to employers in those fields if you have international (UK/ US etc) work experience in those fields. Or if you can afford it, get a visit visa and come talk to them face to face.

NZ and Aus run talent recruitment expos in the UK so it's worth checking if they still do them and go to one.

If you work at a multi national company with a branch here, seek a transfer (we came via an internal work transfer)

My friend brought foodstuffs for me from Nigeria and he's in London. Does anyone know how I can send foodstuffs (egusi, stock fish etc)?

Please, anyone into pen testing here?

[s]Why do you want to verify their claim, instead of you to jump on it and do all the hours, u wey just come, u no get bills to pay?[/s] LOL don’t mind me

There’s a misconception going round especially during covid that if you work with the nhs as a care giver you are allowed to work more than 20hrs a week (I used to believe it too) until someone shared with me an email from UKVI where they have contacted them to confirm.

Find attached excerpt from the email.

nice2men:
The care home I work for is telling me they are under NHS and I can work more than 20hours. I don't want to believe what they told me. How do I verify their claim??

If you in a city that has flixbus route, you can get a ticket to London (as low as 3.99) pickup and return same day. Done that before. was better than the cost of royal mail.

Thanks so much.

I really appreciate you.

I will follow the instructions as well.

Living in Wales has been different than what I thought. Reading reviews on Google isn't the best.

So far, it's been very good here, rains everytime and the people are polite and always smile and say hello when you pass them by.
Rent is cheap or can be high too depending, as low as £480 for two bed apartment.

When I first came, k was trying basically all the nice food I can find in the store but 96% of them I had to dispose...so right now, my daily food is toast and burger, chips and chicken, rice and my little swallow remaining . My hubby and child have adapted to their food but it's hard for me..esp the baked beans gosh!! I wish I can adapt to their meal oo, I don lean lol.

Akorkor:


Chai!!! And I have read all the pages from part 1 ohh . Saw it then, and I thought I shared it. Let me recheck then. Thank you, sir

Were you able to come across it?? Kindly share if you still have the page
Thank you
