When someone calls a section of the country sadEast, is that someone really not below human? If only such people could be banned for posting hateful comments.

It's those South Easterners that have the capacity to turn Nigeria around today, the experience would definitely have been different if Peter Obi won. Definitely.

I respect the Igbo man's doggedness 100%

Dem dey try

At the end of the day, na own goal.

Other countries are using the talents they get in sectors that improve their country, the UK wants to funnel graduates to Healthcare, places they'd ordinarily not want to go

Quality, future of their would be citizens in the future etc will be affected. That they're the only ones doing this says a lot

Na them know sha

Please what’s actually the cause of delay in approval of some PSW visas? I applied since 29 December but no response yet, whereas some who applied early January received?

Although it’s still with the 8 weeks period, but I’m just concerned. I thought it’s on first-come, first-served basis.

Thanks.

The whole thing is very frustrating. Recently landed a band 6 job in an acute NHS trust. Requested for sponsorship and HR confirmed I would be sponsored, but near my PSW expiry. I've written plenty emails, with lots of evidence, telling them it best to issue the COS now because the salary would be about 2k short of the new threshold come April 2024, but they wouldn't reconsider.
It's things like this that pushes people to care work and makes COS sales business very attractive.

The new policy also includes strategies to make care work more attractive to British citizens and reduce dependency on overseas workers, which is a sensible and more sustainable approach, especially if (big if) they also increase salaries in the industry.

The report quoted that over 60% of graduates went into care in the year to 2023.
However this figure will drop significantly once the new CQC regulations ramp up as no more buying/selling of COS and only properly vetted care homes and agencies would be able to sponsor.

So in your non-vilifying mind, USA can sponsor with heavy aminution and funds to support Israel to maimed the poor Palestinians, but hamas can't defend their home country as well. You easily agree Hamas is bad because your mighty USA say so!

I have never run a domiciliary account nor use any to fund any travel, people travel differently and for different purpose, no be everybody be student.

GEJ sold Oil for over $100 per barrel of oil for 4yrs straight at over 2million barrel/day, with excess crude oil occount, what was the end result while he was leaving office, debt and borrowing to pay salary. (Else you too young to recall)

Today oil is sold at @ $81/barrel with less daily barrel of production and major infrastructure deficit, how do you plan to cushion it.

The country is not exporting much to earn fx, the lazy local businesses and elites are mopping the less available dollars just to save for future speculation yet you all are complaining.

You are Hungry, yet you still dey hide food for fridge, is that not silly

If so easy to blame the Govt. while we excuse the citizens actions as well.

Atk1nson:


You seem to have a weird fascination with draconian and heavy-handed tactics. I recall you were the one also justifying hamas and vilifying US.

Definitely at some point you benefited from the dorm account balances you were referring to fund your travels. Speculation exists the in every sector in a free market economy. Naira has shown a high level of instability since APC took power, and the current speculative activity reflects the poor handling of the foreign exchange situation by the current and past presidents. The current speculative activity is the result and not the cause of naira's instability.

Also, do not assume everyone operating a dorm account is doing so for speculative purposes. If businesses project that they will have to buy FX at a higher rate to fund their activities in the future, it gives them a high incentive to lock in prices by buying FX now so they can hedge against FX losses in the future.

Obj and GEJ managed to keep the exchange stable and speculators at bay, the chicago accountant may go to them to learn one or two.

I never mentioned any tribe in my post, so stop trying to claim any unnecessary victimisation and cutting deep nonsense.

GEJ sold oil 🛢 at over $100/barrel, with excess crude oil account, yet Baba still borrow to pay salaries for months, so what is there to learn?

They all belong to the same category and i am not holding brief for any of them.

profemebee:

If you don't know, tribalism is worse than racism.... discrimination within the same skin cuts deeper

I hope you heal and stop making excuses for a government that has failed and is on the road to colossal failure.

OBJ & GEJ don't have 2 heads....

The same Tinubu criticized them when they were in power for things like insecurity.. now it is his turn and he is failing woefully

Every presidential candidate promised to remove subsidy but they had different execution procedures....

Person A and B can decide to go from Ikeja to VI.... Person A can pass 3rd mainland bridge while Person B can pass Eko Bridge... the experience will be different..

You don't remove subsidy all at once without providing some form of cushion effects .. it has to be done in milestones.. the country is already in deep multidimensional poverty and now 28.9% deep in inflation...

Nigerians getting killed, even children and not a single visit to Plateau State or even Abuja that is close to the Presidency...... chilling in France with the NSA who should be working on Security in the country.... the others were dancing Buga on stage.. smh

Your statement about a section of the country is a very unwise one.

Thinking about converting people's money in whatever currency is ridiculous. It's an economic and financial own-goal. I'll stop short of calling you an economic and financial criminal so the EFCC don't get interested in you.

After converting all the dom balances, how many months of import cover will it amount to?

You can not know.

Apologise for your unwise statement.

@Justwise please look at banning this person as it violates a few rules.

Biko, please, edakun, abeg can we please refrain from discussing Naija politics here. The vibe is not good for this beautiful thread. In the end It'll always be a waste of time arguing who's better between two Nigerian politicians, especially the crop of 1999 to date - it's an insult to the word "better". Maybe Who's worse would be more appropriate.

Yea

Good day house,

Anyone here that successfully gained global talent visa status and willing to share some info?

Thank you in advance

How can somebody in the UK ( which pre-supposes some sanity of mind) call a part of Nigeria SadEast?

Guy that the lowest of the low

Example if you want to change to naira, you’ll credit them your pounds so they give you naira. If you send them your GBP and say you have a change of mind, you won’t get your pounds without breaking a sweat. Like actual sweat. They are disastrous and disgusting. Whereas with Lemonade you get your money immediately.

Is it a substantial sum? You could send me Naira. I'll send you the gbp

You never know....after Brexit there was a dramatic shortage of HGV drivers. The industry responded by raising driver salaries quite significantly and there's not been a single mention of driver shortages since.

Hi Guys,
I have a colleague who is currently doing his dissertation @ the University of Hull but he’s kinda worried cos he got compensated for one module which he scored 46, below 50 but because his results in other modules are very good, he got a compensation and got awarded a credit for the course instead of a re-sit.

However, he is worried if the compensation won’t affect him getting a PSW Visa when he’s done with school.
Or whether he should just apply for a re-sit?

Anyone has an idea?

His results are quite fair at the moment (Merit).

I believe the main condition for PSW is that your school sends a confirmation to HO that you have successfully completed your studies.

I doubt if how the school came to the conclusion is HO issue. They Trust the school do what’s right.

Kudos to the NIS and NHC in London. I received my passport in just over 2 weeks after biometrics.

Mine is over 2 months and a week now after capturing and nothing has been delivered.

Hi, thought to share my experience as a 1st time schengen visa applicant even though it is a while back.
My family and I applied for a schengen visa (for france) in the 1st week of Dec with a paid ticket with travel date in April 24. Took about 1 week of meticulous checking for appointment but we were able to get dates on a wedbesday at 11.30pm for the middle of dec.
We got our passports back 1 week after with visa stickers.

I'd say, keep checking for availabilities especially towards midnight. Also, they seem to release dates in small blocks (rather than availability 2 - 3 months ahead).

Best wishes.

Thank you very much! This is very helpful. I'll keep checking.

Raalsalghul:


What I meant is that if you apply to enter the Schengen area using Greece, you'll get quicker dates for appointment but the catch is that you'll only be able to use the visa once or twice (Single or Double Entry to the Schengen area) and I'm sure you'll probably prefer multiple entries as you might want to visit other countries.

So if you want to get quicker dates using Greece as entry point and at the same time get multiple entries to visit as much Schengen countries as you want, you'll have to fully book and pay for holiday in three different Schengen countries (including Greece) which will be presented to the V.O to get a high chance of getting multiple entries.

Does the above help?

Hi, thanks for explaining this.

Do these appointments need to be sequential? i.e. I have a holiday booked for May but if I want to add a couple others to it to apply for multiple entries can one be in say July and another in October?

Solumtoya:


I have someone in this same situation. She applied for Graduate visa on Monday, and got COS the next day. So she's applying for Tier-2 now. All she has to do after applying for Tier-2 is to cancel her Graduate visa application, right?

Yes..Simply cancel her Graduate Visa application
