wonlasewonimi: maybe because of the video game we used to go play at roadside game centers. 'Contra' - one of the games on the 1000 games on one console. |

@Justwise and co please can UK driving license be used in Naija, and can one be able to use UK bank app for transfers/ transactions in Naija. Lastly please the day 2 lateral flow test kit, did you order it while in Naija? |

TRAY2: You can use it but it’s not advisable. Drive with a Nigerian license. Uk bank apps work here as normal. As long as you have good internet and can receive any OTP’s. |

TRAY2: What mamatukwas said. Best to order on time even before you leave, deliveries around this period can be unreliable. 2 Likes |

TRAY2: Yes UK bank app works in Nigeria, you can send money to your Nigerian account through any of those agents. Yes I ordered my PCR test kit while in Nigeria but shop around because some are cheaper than others. 1 Like |

Mamatukwas: Thank you Mamatukwas! I follow your page on IG and likes your post whenever I go there. I like hardworking women. Well done! If teaching is your forte, I think you should have a masterclass/online course. It will help a lot of migrant wives with kids. |

Chreze: The bolded is not luxury is the best plan for those with family unless you are a small unit and have a family very much willing to accommodate. Even at that don't overstay your welcome oo. I see a lot of families stranded and frustrated with the process of house search and settling down because of not planning properly. Yes it's difficult to get a house but that's largely due to the pressure of being stranded and squating with people. Everyone would eventually get their own place and settle. 2 Likes |

It was such a stressful experience. The seller put the house back on the market because she thought we'd never get our mortgage application approved. I don't blame her. On the day of exchange, the bank refused to release funds because of the different names on my passport and application form - pulled out records of all comms with the mortgage advisor where he told me its not a problem. They said the guy resigned a month ago so I had to go physically to the bank. It was past 5pm - knocked on the door and told them to open up. Short story - to survive in the UK, you've got to fight for everything. I don't care if they call me fiesty black lady. I digress, this is an appreciation post. Thank you all.[/quote] Congratulations on the new house. Let's come and wash it |
