Good day everyone, please is there any family staying in Northern Ireland. We just moved here and would like to meet some people already settled down here. Thanks. Please any advice on where and how to get affordable car to move around will be appreciated as we have a small baby and she is not taking the weather well. Any advice on how to settle down fast and well will surely be appreciated. We don't want to make lots of mistakes. From renting, looking for jobs for spouse and getting accommodation. We are still currently in a bed and breakfast. Thanks for you expected advice.

Hello, I’m moving to NI by the end of the month…we can be relating. I’m searching for accommodation thru propertypal.com

Hello people, what are the chances of a potential UK tier 4 student visa applicant who has a gap year of 7 years (secured last qualification {Waec} in 2015 and looking to apply for visa in 2022).
How best can one convince the officers in the embassy of one's genuine intention to study in the UK given the duration of gap?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Teeclassicroyal: 9:45am On Oct 11, 2021
Thanks everyone for the wonderful information and timely intervention as always. God bless.
I wish to know if the 40hour rule that was introduced for international students in the UK during the heat of the corona scourge is still active or not. And who does it apply to?
Thanks

Thank you.

Hello.
The UK has got a number of professions in the shortage occupations list as well as a list of companies that hold licence to sponsor. How about checking them out?
What if someone here tells you that either of the two courses may aid your sponsorship and when you get to the bridge it becomes a problem. What I am driving at is, your skills and experiences may make a company go all out for you to get you sponsored so it is best you do a lot research to determine your path way.

Thank you, I have also done lots and lots of research and also check sponsorship jobs, though business/marketing top the lists
I just want to seek individual opinions of people who has worked in the 2 disciplines
Thanks once again for your input

Lol no one would sponsor business or marketing. Because there is shortage doesn’t mean there is sponsorship— there’s a difference.

Tech companies mostly have foreigners so they are more willing to sponsor their tech staff than other normal staff.

Went on a hiatus guys- sorry for my absence- was dealing with a divorce (we just grew apart chasing money hehe)

I’m trying to get a global talent visa (tech nation route). The hope is to get it and then create a thread that would teach others how to do it but I got rejected on my first application. The plan now is to try again (while addressing the mistake I made in my last application) or pay a lawyer (waste of money as I still have to explain everything to them anyway lol) angry

Doing the talent visa alone made me realise how invaluable just wise (however annoying he is), Lexus and lagosIMH are for their invaluable contributions to Nairaland (sorry you can’t use this for an endorsement but I appreciate you guys loads for all you’ve done and are still doing on Nairaland.. ok let me add ralphjean before he slaps me lol)

I’m back now sha. wink

Hi lexus, I joined using your invite and I've funded but I'm a beginner in the world of investment. Does the green flashes indicate a good for buy or sell?i have copied a few but I'm also targeting some dipped shares now. What's your position on alibaba? Btw I'm in the field for the long haul so longterm investment.

I am trying to educate myself in every way. I've always been scared or maybe a bit too careful in staking my funds but the bull needs to be taken by the horn now!

Hi lexus, thanks for promoting etoro here. I have just started investing and talking about alibaba, as at when this question was asked, it was falling at an exponential rate, I decided to seize it then-my regret is that I invested just a little, now it's growing rapidly.

And Im learning everyday, I've made some wrong moves... But I'm quite excited about the prospect of growth.

Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully it's for the best.
Are there no other channels to survey beyond the talent acquisition?
Hope everything works out for you. Stay strong and motivated.

With amateur investments, mistakes are allowed..... We make then and learn very quickly.......


Shares would continually rise and fall.... If you bought a share too high, you could either average up or wait till it appreciates, sell position and rẹ enter at a much lower price...... You would understand the game........ wink


I still think crypto (albeit volatile), is a good investment...... Don't buy on the rise, buy on the dip and hodl....... cheesy

It always hurts me to hear when partners seperate...if there was no physical or emotional abuse involved then I believe there should be a way to make things work...that's a personal opinion though

...all that said, I sincerely hope you find peace and happiness in your new chapter. The road might be fearful or scary but God's got you...and He is just a prayer away

My position on $Baba...... I don't personally have $BABA in my portfolio, but some of my copiers have them..... Investing in shares, albeit emotional, is a personal journey......... wink


We have too many shares to deliberate upon + our investment ethos and patterns, can never be the same.......... smiley

I am never emotionally attached to shares, I have a set benchmark of 50% financial growth......... wink

Although I am in for the long term........ But when our chickens grow teeth, it's time to sell....... cheesy

I have closed 3 positions today...... Hold on to my TP, await a market correction, re enter at much lower price and simply keep recycling the process....... wink

Thanks dear. Well there are other channels e.g getting sponsored by my employer by I want them as a last resort because I don’t know how to commit to one employer for more than 1 year. Also my last manger wanted to use my employment visa to bully me. If I can do things on my own, I prefer to.
