I'm a first time traveller. I just watched a YouTube video where the youtuber had a stop over at Doha (flight is Lagos to London). At Doha, she boarded a train to her next departure point at the same airport. The question is Do I pay for the train or it's free?


Train inside Doha Qatar airport….sound strange just check your boarding pass and work to assigned boarding area A-G

Please house, does my wife (student) need to be present for me to open a bank account?. I already have a copy of her school's letter of introduction to banking facilities as she school's in a different state from mine.

Hello house , been a silent reader on this thread for a while, much blessings to every contributor in this thread.
My niece was born in the Isle of Man some years back around 2019 (can't remember the month), after which they all came back to Nigeria and just recently my brother got a job to relocate to Newcastle . While filling her dependant visa application some days ago, a question was asked if the baby girl " has been to UK and what time frame "?

My uncle says - " let's put the date she went to the Nigerian embassy in London to get her passport "

My response ----" let's put her birthday date "

We are actually confused cos the Isle of man is listed as a country in the visa application website and even her birth certificate.

I would appreciate an opinion on what to put on the question " has she been to the UK and what time frame "

Good afternoon, house.

May I ask which of these cities has fairly good cost of living: Bournemouth and Poole, both in Dorset?

Thanks

They are both beautiful places to live with comparable cost of living.

Please I need your contribution on this matter.
The surname on all my credentials (WAEC, degree, NIN, international passport etc) is Tunji, but I don’t want my children to bear Tunji but Olatunji. My children now have Olatunji as there surname on there birth certificates and NIN. I have done affidavit in court to claim that I am the same person having surname as Tunji and Olatunji. So my questions are, is this acceptable legally and will there be any problem at the airport when traveling abroad with the children. Or any future implications for me and the children.

You've already made a legal name change. Your children are still under your parental authority so you and their other parent have the right to assign to them any names you choose. Are you having second thoughts or do you want to reverse the name change? Perhaps to try Oluwatunji?

As to whether that could cause complications for you at an airport, obviously if you're travelling with them you will (or should) carry all legal documentation regarding your status as their parent and the name change, so you should be able to explain matters to anyone who asks.

I don't think so, might not be the case.
An EV is still an EV, subject to the same approximately 240 mile range constraints (unless the Chinese have made a great leap forward regarding battery technology of which the world is not aware). Again, except there is something the other manufacturers arent telling us, 25k is a huge difference between the average prices of other EVs (which retail for around 40k and above new), so a lot of customers will definitely think on that before buying as well.

How do you mean present? Most accounts can be opened off your phone/laptop and some will need you coming into the bank for physical verification. The account is not for her so there will be no need for her to be present. I assume you have got your documents such as passport/brp etc.

Not compulsory, but I would say its better to tick off all boxes.

Some of the newspaper advert cost around NGN5k-10k, so you should prolly get it done with.

I promised to give pointers about tech occupations. Of course there are the core tech occupations like infrastructure manager, network architects, technical architects, developers (either front or backend), automation testing or even some data professions (these require sql, python, r and some familiarity with tableau, power bi, etc). As for manual testing, if you have experience with software and/or UX experience, you may easily become a manual tester (pays well).

Other parts of tech that folks should consider is the security, compliance and audit of IT; these areas are also in high demand as most IT professionals do not fancy career shift to them. Furthermore, a degree in Computer Science is not required to thrive in these roles.

IT Auditors - They initiate periodic review of IT processes, Infrastructure and Security; they are usually required in the Big4, IT consulting firms and companies with large staff/customer base. A professional certification called Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) is usually required to be considered for the job role, while additional certifications like CISSP, CEH, CISM, ISO27001 LA.....may be required for knowledge purposes.

Information/Cyber Security Specialists - They ensure adequate security of the overall IT infrastructure of organizations; there are several job roles related to this part of IT like Information Security Governance Analyst, Network Security Specialist, Application Security Specialist, Cloud Security Specialist, Ethical Hacker, Vulnerability Assessor/Penetration Tester, SOC Analyst, and so on. Professional certifications like CEH, CISSP, CISM, CCSP, OSCP will be required to be considered for these job roles.

IT Risk/Compliance Analysts - Their responsibilities are closely related to that of IT Auditors, they provide guidance to IT/Security professionals on internal and regulatory compliance areas relating to IT processes, projects and general IT Infrastructure. Part of their responsibilities also involve identifying risk exposures, documenting them and recommending controls. Professional certifications required includes ISO27001 LI, ITIL, CRISC etc.

For those who are not tech savvy, you could consider switching to IT audit/compliance first, then evaluate the possibility of moving to information/cyber security later.

Career in the roles mentioned above is rewarding. I will be willing to provide more information on how to switch to them here, folks can also check online for more information.
