good day my people, please who needs naira for pounds o

Would have taken but I think my rate will be too high for you. Since I convert to USD at 1.18USD, USD to NGN is at an all-time high now meaning I could be getting as much as N773 per Pound if I include CBN's N5.

Thanks so much. I think the vaccine policy here is to make chicken pox vaccine optional. Recurring bouts will be constant from school to school.
I managed to get a GP. I got some prescription. Hoping for quick healing and recovery.

My good people. Pls. I need an advice. I work part time with a care (3 nights a week), however, got an entry job with a multinational (hybrid working). My dilemma is that the multi national isn't ready to sponsor as I have valid dependent visa (tier 4) till 2024,however the care home wants to sponsor me. My question is it legal and possible to work both In order to get sponsored? I welcome your opinions and suggestions.

From what has been answered here previously, I believe you’ll need to get permission from the care home to work with the multinational

Start practicing for your theory test, once you pass the theory. Get a UK driving instructor, to coach you .......

Ensure you pass your practical driving lesson within 2 years (or else your theory test expires).........

What is the duration......... Only you/your pocket can answer...... grin

Thank you for your response, I'll check back some pages. The care is actually fine with me working another job. They don't want me to resign.

You can use Lemonade to transfer naira to your UK bank account.
You can use this link. I normally do the other way round:

Op is on dependant visa hence Permission is not required. I think you are mixing it up with T2

So Credit Cards (CCs) are one of the best Credit Tools you can have but yes, like every good thing, it does have its dangers.

Most folks here are trying to build Credit Score and to be very honest, CCs are the easiest way to do so. There are so many other ways, of course, and you should do them: Registering in the Electoral Register, Setting up Direct Debits for Utility Bills, Phone/SIM Contracts, etc but from experience since these are not Credit facilities, they may not boost your score as much as a CC.


Bro, quick and funny question

Can CCs be used for BNPL purchases like PayPal's Pay in 3?

Since PayPal's Pay in 3 now reports to credit agencies, can you use one bird to kill two stones that way assuming you always pay off your cc on time? Or will this be a flag to credit agencies and impact your ratings?


I am just curious grin

If you are using PayPal Pay in 3 for something worth more than 100 pounds, use your credit card in your PayPal wallet as the underlying payment instrument in case you have to revisit the matter.

Be careful out there folks.

This story doesnt sound true.
10 years is a very harsh sentence by UK standards for what is basically medical malpractice of sorts.
All those doctors and co. who make those kinds of errors get sentences in the 3 year range, this is way too high to be plausible.
Perhaps the person you cited meant 1 year, not 10.

Not to underplay the underlying message though - everyone be careful out there, and as is still the case and for numerous other reasons, avoid domiciliary care if you can.

For a black, a Nigerian, and a student that might not have had adequate representation, the story might be true.

Unless their barrister was probably also a Nigerian student as well, they should have been able to make a reasonably good case in mitigation.

Not to encourage people working in care to be less careful, but in a situation like that described, I seriously doubt that a court would hand down a custodial sentence in the first place.
