I wonder why the moderator(s) are removing some people’s posts concerning currency exchange whilst leaving others.
You must understand that this is the situation at hand and for now this mini black market exchange has come to stay. It is nobody’s fault on this platform.
The Federal Government of Nigeria's new policies is making it difficult for banks to send money to those in Nigeria and there’s no timeline nor an end date in sight for this.

They made the harsh rules, blocked the avenues and all of us will be at the receiving end one way or the other, my own is just allow people be.
Thank you!

Pls I need naira.. if you want pounds, send a message

Come @ 550/£ grin

Please the £20,480 is it gross or netpay per annum as I am confuse on this l will appreciate if anyone who has successfully gone thru this can explain better
Bourne007:
Check https://www.gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa/your-job. "You’ll usually need to be paid at least £20,480 per year"

If you have a partner on a dependant visa working FT, s/he may qualify with a good credit history

I ended up getting Naira from Mamatukwas. The process felt like too much hassle for me.

Am I missing something?
1. You have £
2. You exchanged it for NGN (thanks to the ever dependable MamaTukwas).
3. The NGN is in Nigeria.
4. Now the person will find how to change it to ££ (in Nigeria)?? To use it where? In the UK?
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Mimzyy(f): 2:04pm On Feb 06, 2021
Yes. Hope it makes sense now or do I need to buttress ?


It’s PTA for my mum...

Why don't you just let your mum land in the UK and then you can give her the money physically... instead of this money changing gymnastics? Well... the deed is already done sha.

This even makes it more bizarre.
PTA in ££
££ is not used in Nigeria.

She will now withdraw Naira.
Go to Aboki and exchange it for ££ at black market prices.

Or she will go to bank, use her visa and passport and apply for PTA (at CBN rate).
Then collect ££ and travel to a country where they use ££ (like UK for example).

The spend the ££

Wow...

Hello everyone. Please I will appreciate if anyone can help me with the Nigeria High Commission Office, London phone number to call. I've tried all the phone numbers on their site, but not connecting.

Thank you in anticipation.

This is why I dislike asking for help/opinion sometimes on this thread. I don’t think I owe anyone further explanation as per why i had to send Naira for her to get ££. I needn’t go into every detail!!!

I wonder why you’re dissecting and analysing something that has already been sorted. Plsssss let it rest, it’s becoming annoying.

At the end, it’s not your money and it’s not your headache. I asked for suggestion/opinion, I’ve separated the chaff from the wheat. Whoever likes can continue to masturbate over a done deal. Eyin lemo!!!!!!!

Send Naira to Naija at black market rate.

Use banks CBN rate to get PTA from banks.

The overhead na profit.

People that actually wanted to help already did. If someone wants to help then they would state how that person can do it better instead of waohing and being sarcastic. The entire money wasn’t for pta as she would use some of it in Nig and that’s why I felt it was better that way.

Ain’t above learning, I wouldn’t ask questions here in the first place if I felt that way. It just hurts how a simple question turned into sarcasms and making someone feel like a simpleton. But it’s all good.


Thanks ma’am.
