hehee who no like better thing....... Loads of Nigerians have flocked into BA role . i know a couple of friends that have entered BA/ PM/PMO route

People path are different , some have used Career Insight for training , but that too. I have seen that worked for some people and seen others that did the program and nothing came out of it, and their structure can be information overload all over the place......... . meaning what works for A might not work for B. What i can say , what ever program/ training you just clear your schedule and give it your best . Some people have paid nobody and self taught themselves (google and Youtube) and packaged themselve. lol . you just have to research and find what path works best for you

i'm a student and I gathered that if you do not earn up to a certain amount (can't quote exactly) a week you shouldn't get tax deductions
but from my wee pay I still get 20% deduction

Speak to the payroll team of where u work or call HMRC . Maybe they put you on a wrong tax code or making wrong deductions . The tax free allowance for 2018 is £11,850 and check your payslip if your tax code states 1185L

This is not entirely true, everything is done in real-time now so if you owe them you’ll know about it sooner rather than later. No one should hesitate to call HMRC if they think they are owed.

You can speak to the HMRC directly, there is nothing to be afraid of. They have all your records you will be amazed. Everything is done in real-time now. They will adjust your tax code and send it to your work place so that the correct tax can be deducted. Check your code and make sure you are not on the BR code.

I am talking from my own personal experience, so saying it's entirely not true, is a little bit over egging this pudding..........

Hello E-Fam. Good morning to all. Please I need clarifications or advise. I am on the spousal dependent visa and coming up to renewal/extension. First visa is usually 33months and I still have up to August to apply. My query is how much time am I allowed to stay out of UK on this visa without it being detrimental to my renewal/extension?

Thanks for your responses.

This rule may apply only if you are self employed but if you are an employee, there is no reason to not make that phone call.

Thanks for your responses.

As a dependant of a Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 4 Point Based System there is no minimum period that you can stay outside of the UK...... during renewal

However if you plan to apply for ILR , then the home office is waiting and have a rule that you cannot be out for more than 180 days in 12 calendar period within the 5 years period .... If you want to do ILR / settlement then take this very serious to count the days outside

Finchley Road, Hampstead.

While eating, Fela Durotoye even popped in for a meal.

There was one tastys in Woolwich then I don't know if they are still there. Chaiii they had one hot green pepper stew I loved so much. That type you will be eating and crying at the same time.

Happy Easter celebration to all the gurus....abeg,


this ur guy just enta UK....which bank better make person open an account with?

Just need to know so i wont fall into unnecessarily and unsolicited charges every now and then...thanks guys

Lloyd's TSB and Nation wide use to be the easiest to open then. There was Alliance & Leicester which is now Santander or so, it was also easy as A&L but I don't know of now. Try and avoid Barclay's Bank and NatWest, their matter too dey long. HSBC a little better than Barclay's and NatWest.
