Hi everyone.
Car owners, I don finally join una.
Bought my first car some weeks ago and been enjoying it since.
I recently decided to do durability test. So I drove to Manchester, then to Leeds, then back to Glasgow over last weekend.

I'm still getting used to all the wahala about cars...like looking for free parking, paying for parking, garage visits, early morning ice/frost on windshields, and the occasional traffic jam lol.

But it's great to no longer depend on buses and uber. grin

my dear...

it was a bad one.. infact it was like a dream..

the Officer screened my passport, then asked if i had issues getting the visa.. i said NO..

then he asked if i have ever been refused before, i said Once.. and then he flipped and went into ogbanje mode asking why i lied earlier on..

i got confused in my mind telling him he asked 2 different questions to which i replied.. and its also stated in my spousal visa application..

He then took me to the detention center section and gave me a form stating why i might be denied entry and all.. ticked the boxes stating pending my answers to further questions i will know if i will be let in..

guess what na so i see 4 nigerian boys dey display.. and he probably used that pattern to judge me too cos the boys were all going cray.. one was asked if his wife worked and he said no.. then asked if he worked.. na so story dey go for the guy..

then there was another indian looking guy who was asking for his lawyer..

i was on the phone wit my wife, and asked to not use phones.. so i obeyed and waited for the officer who was with another checking some records on the monitor..

fam... i was just chewing gum trying to be calm.. like i didnt go thru all these to stop here..

10mins later he came back wt my passport stamped and said he was sorry he needed to do more enquiries into my case cos of my response.. i told him his question wasnt clear..

asked him abt the detention form.. and he said its nothing... i cud tear it up.. then he took it and squeezed it all. .showing me my stamp.. and saying im free to go.. that i wasnt detained but the form was to let me know i needed to answer some questions..

na so i go carousel to pick my bags only to see them on the floor.. broken and damaged ..

Also, flight from Lagos left like an hour late, so i almost missed the connecting flight to London at Istanbul..

what a day...

got my BRP sha and just dey rest...

Congratulations, don't go and jam anybody and don't let anybody jam you for insurance sake. If you are involved in a colission no go report yourself to insurance whether you are at fault or not else your insurance go double. If possible send with the other party.

Forced to use transgender pronouns: Doctor speaks out after tribunal rules Bible ‘incompatible with human dignity’
4 Oct, 2019 10:20

A British doctor has warned that a dangerous precedent has been set after a tribunal ruled that he was rightfully terminated for refusing to use transgender pronouns, and that his Christian values clash with those of UK society.
Dr. David Mackereth was fired from his job at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) after telling his manager that in a hypothetical scenario, he would never “call any 6-foot tall bearded man madam.”

The case was brought before a Birmingham employment tribunal, which said in its ruling that the government department had every right to sack Mackereth, and that the doctor’s biblical beliefs have no place in British society.

"Belief in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious objection to transgenderism in our judgment are incompatible with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of others."

Speaking to RT, Mackereth said that the ruling has profound and troubling implications for freedom of speech and conscience in the UK.

"The question here is whether I can be forced to do something and to say something that goes deeply against my conscience."

He said that the judgment means that “you’re not allowed not to believe the transgender movement’s maxims,” while “core” Christian beliefs have been labeled as unfit for modern life.

Mackereth plans to appeal the ruling.

This one nawa. In my country, it’s business once you get hit by another vehicle because people conspire with their mechanics to prepare exorbitant bills for insurance company and they still pay same premium the following year.
