By my 7th year in the UK I go don become baddest for Data Science. I dey use all the suffering vex come. Na only Canny go relax their rules to favour the Badt guy. But if canny nor gree I will go far Australia go collect their own. Las las na Tri citizenship be the plan.

Biko Patriotism for one side fes.

Hahaha, but the more citizenship you have, the more tax complications you have to face. Some of these countries aren’t under double treaty and will require you to pay tax in both countries.

The same Tier 4/post study rules apply to dependants.

If your tier 4 dependant switches to tier 1 or 2, then the 5-year route applies on the day you are issued.


assumpta1:
Oh thank you. Does the same thing apply to the dependants?
Also what if a dependant is able to switch to tier 2, what route will that be? Sorry if I’m asking too many questions but the links don’t provide answers to my questions.

Who else drove through some scary fog yesterday night? I drove through it on my way to work. It wasn't funny, I couldn't see Jack, even in built up areas with street light.
Very Spooky and Scary, the roads were deserted like one haunted avenue in a Halloween themed movies.

WTH, you prefer nissan joke nismo to RX450h? DaveChappelle....I go give you sliding tackle grin

The insurance was cheaper, and the car newer, and cheaper for the same year

wonlasewonimi:


Are you having a laugh? That is why you buy low mileage lexus and sell on value is one of most reasonable ones especially the RX range. By next year, your nismo should be around 5k
Actually still has a trade in value of 8k to 9k going 2 yrs, not bad

So the Nigerian High Commission London is closed to the public indefinitely due to the lockdown in England.

This does not make any sense as people are still allowed to work. Moreover, embassy/consular services are still under essential services. Airports are still functioning. Closing services to the public will only increase the backlog of passport renewal which the commission is still struggling to rectify. One can even argue that the renewal of passports can be under legal responsibility as immigrants are obliged to maintain a valid international passport. Performing legal responsibilities is also permitted during the lockdown. I made my application on August 24th and it is evident that I might not renew before the end of the year.

Nigeria always finds a way to make things more complicated than it should be.

The first time even before the lockdown was officially announced the Nigerian high commision shut down while the whole UK was still very much open. So not surprised to hear they locked up again

Our people problem home and away are many joor . If you start looking into Nigeria matter it definitely will give you headache . Hopefully everyone here gets a chance to get a second passport

That can be true.

Sorry sir.

When you calm down, buy ticket and go to Nigeria to renew. That’s what I did. Nobody even asked me for my ETC sef until I got to Nigeria (and if I didn’t have it, I would have just asked them for plug to do my passport, then case settled).

No vex too much- you suppose dey use to naija wahala.

This is looking like the most viable option right now to be honest. With backlogs the embassy has right now..
