Some things are easier said than done.. Living in Nigeria is different from going to visit. If you live in Nigeria, some things will have to give. My kid sister after months of pre-degree was given admission @ Uni Ilorin.. I mean she saw her name on the admission list. Fast forward to going back to pay acceptance fee and register, name don disappear. Someone probably swapped her name with another person's name. My dad angrily enrolled her in a private Uni. He could afford it, otherwise, that would mean another one year at home. For those who cannot afford it, will you keep on waiting when you know your child is well qualified? I was robbed some years back, I still had to pay Police to get police report after losing so much.. It is easy to sit behind a screen and say let us stop giving excuses, if you are in some situations, you simply do not have a choice. 11 Likes |

Lexusgs430: I am a post graduate student. When I came, there was lockdown for a long time so I had to make do with a virtual bank account but I need a real one now as the virtual account restricts me. Also, how do I stop missing my way whenever I go out? And knowing the right bus to enter too. Google map doesn't help sometimes, some other times, when I ask questions, most of the people are just like me trying to find their way too. Today, I was to enter Bus 21, I did enter 21 but this one wasn't going my way.. Its confusing sometimes. I don waka lost plenty times...whew. 2 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 6:16pm On May 17, 2021 |
ELff: Pele Every bus is either going left or right so opposite direction , so once you confirm what bus to enter you need to check is it the one going left or right. So for example a bus 21 goes Abuja to Enugh and one stop is Lagos. If I am in lagos then bus 21 is either going to abuja or bus 21 to Enugu. If your stop is going to the North then take the bus 21 in that direction. If your stop is going to the east then you have to cross the road and take that bus ...... so knowing the number is just the first step, next step is understanding there will be two on opposite sides 2 Likes |

ELff:Haha. Costly advice: from your current location, plot the address you are going to on Google Map, then "Start the Trip". If the bus you enter is moving in the right direction on the map, it is the right bus. If it is moving in opposite direction, it is the wrong bus, so get down at the next stop. 1 Like 1 Share |

lynniebabes: Did you inform them of your allergies, prior to ordering?...... If you did, approach a no win no fee solicitor...... Be mindful, if successful, a percentage is for them..... You can't get them to start and then decide you are no longer interested....... They would slam you for jobs done so far, which you MUST pay or they would sue you, and you must pay....... So, think an well...... If you approach the hotel, they are might offer you a voucher or similar...... So select your poison with care........ What did your medical report state?..... |

Inkredible: Settling down here is hard. You either depend on someone or have a child and go through consent with the child’s mum etc. Nobody deserve to live on the edge when a woman can dictate your stay in the Uk. It’s better to goto a country where you’re likely to dictate what you want when you have skills etc. Hence why I’m not a fan of uk anymore. 1 Like |

marylandcakes:@The bolded. Sometimes, it's a lot more complicated than that. I've been in a bus that was stopped by the police in a solitary environment. A guy with laptop was searched and asked to pay a certain amount of money, he explained he's an IT person that works for a firm in Lagos. He showed them ID cards and all but they insisted on collection the said amount of money from him. He refused and was threatened, the officer said "You think say you sabi your right abi, because say you go school. We fit do you anything for here and nothing Wey anybody fit do". He eventually negotiated the price and paid. Other passengers were too scared to intervene, we've all heard stories about the crimes of the NPF. |
