Partially true, but there are exceptions.

When i wanted to open a bank account some years back, it was one Indian mama who was the Asst. Branch Head that helped me (maybe she was bored that day). The branch was a tiny Barclays branch with about 5/6 staff. She took her time and we had a long discussion on how she managed one of India's biggest bank branches back at home and when she moved to the UK, she got this which was way below her but she isn't complaining.

There is a way he will package his CV, convert every lead, funds he managed, daily forex transactions, profit he made from his branch to £ (with the Naira equivalent in bracket), and some banks would actually give him a shot, at a lower grade though.

Covid might be a limiting factor as per face-to-face but you never can tell!

As he is sending, he can also be using side eye to check out Amazon and the ever-recruiting care homes too..very important

Hahahahaha
You are not normal, i swear

Oh that's simple.
Step1: You come in, draft a resume to suit the oyibo man's taste, then start throwing it around electronically at all the job positions you would like to hold, for about 2 hours each day, followed up with a healthy dose of prayer if you're religious.

Step 2: While following that routine, you do some quick courses on- or offline and sign up with one of those agencies that recruit for care homes.
Step 3: In your spare time, you check Royal Mail and the major retailers for the jobs that will help you improve your physical fitness.

Step 4: Repeat all of the above in any order, increasing the servings and helpings of prayer as required.

Lol.
No mind OgaHR, na him way. Na hire and fire them sabi, the same person wey congratulate you on your appointment in one letter go later regret to inform you say the appointment don waka.
But what he said na true o.
You're more likely to be working on your physical fitness with Amazon than otherwise when you first land here.

There is also a Step 5: Retrain for the NHS.
I'm a Tier 2 dependant as well, my madam na nurse, I worked in a bank too.
Pikins dey to feed, I dey work shift for supermarket. Just get something, anything doing so that you no go exhaust the money wey you use come from Naija and your madam go begin notice say gas bill dey high and wonder why that is so.

Lol, comedians full here.
(HRM101 - Always do your best to get one of your subordinates to sign the bad news letters. You never know when Nigerians go begin do mass shootings American-style).

On a serious note, not to discourage you oscarwilde, but to give you a realistic view of the situation.
The retraining idea is a good one; I have a friend who is now a HCA.

As they are not buying our fish, we are not going there for holiday. Why do I sense politics in action. When they discovered British second variant, the EU was quick to impose sanctions on travellers from UK, then the astra zeneca vaccine wahala and they are not buying UK salmon so we retaliate howbeit under the guise of 3rd eu cover wave

You said everything my lazy self couldnt type. I was thinking along the lines of the shitty pay involved.

TBH, to be a banker in naija is soul destroying and life wasting; I remember working in a department called funds transfer...all you do everyday is helping customers to transfer money from one account to the other.

Dual citizens can even claim a bit to equal access but this is more of a case were the mother had sole custody of that child. The child never had a passport, never visited so using your example had no single relationship with the father.

The child was spoilt in the mother's house . The father wasn't part of the child's life at all so can the mother really ship that child who she has sole custody of


The mother will not ‘ship’ the child. Remember, the UK did not ‘ship’ Shemima to Bangladesh. They only slammed the door shut. Any, and every mother will shut the door if their own child comes rushing at them with a machete, with a clear intention to kill. Out of fear for her own life, the mother will simply tell the daughter not to return to her (MOTHER’s) house. Going to the her father will be her option as it’s a choice available to her.
