There’s something we need understand, every human being has a plan but money is always the problem and this japa is money draining I must tell us , I know how much I have spent and money for flight never set sef not to talk of housing for the first month, what I’m saying is this might be her case and money don finish, and as risky as it may sound it’s better to find someone who she don’t know to harbor her in UK for few days even it means paying some money then staying on the street or not traveling at all after all the money spent already.
I have been an advocate for people not having enough money when planning their move ( check my previous post) but it’s getting ridiculous now. I had a couple come into the country recently and they had no plans for accomodation even after I shared all the useful resources months before they moved here. These set of people are now putting a lot of pressure on the people who are already here and still trying to find their own feet. I maintain that it’s ridiculous not to atleast make a plan for the first 2 weeks when moving. It’s a new country for goodness sake. We the new crop of immigrants are doing too much at this point.

Jumping into conclusion is a very bad thing and you should be civilized enough to respect an adult wish and privacy. I am not sleeping on the street and asking for people around that area is because I just got a job around that place. Nobody would come without making arrangements for accomodations. If we don't have kind words to say let's mind our businesses rather than assuming for someone
You shared a post on a public forum and you are asking people to mind their business. The time you took to get upset, you could have used it to provide more context to your question, after all if you truly want to pay for the accommodation because of a new job, you could have started your search by looking for an Airbnb or a hotel around the area as opposed to asking on a public forum where certain people can prey on someone’s vulnerability. Happy searching.

Please good people, what's the passport validity for someone onshore here and applying for another visa? I can't find any info on the ukvi website about this. Looking at switching student visa to work visa come November, but the passport is expiring 1st week of December. Paid for renewal on 1st September but only got December 6th as capturing date, not taking about the delivery now. Current visa student visa expires January 2024

I maintain you shouldn't teach an adult how to live their lives but I think you know it all. You are not the only one here and the writing this on public did not by anyway affect you. You could as well passed without commenting. It's not mandatory you give your opinion. I saw Airbnb before I posted here, how many people could afford Airbnb for two weeks. People even pair up here in case of situation like getting apartment before starting new job and I am not asking for free accomodations.

Good day all,

For those who live around Exeter, please what is the easier, faster and cheaper transport from Exeter airport to Barnstaple? I checked on google and the fastest is Taxi in approximately 1 hour, which cost around £72.

And the bus takes many hours.

Please are you there any other alternatives? Exeter airport seem to be the closest to Barnstaple.

Thank you.

You are looking for free accommodation in the UK and when people burst your bubble, you resort to calling them perfectos, I too know and sounding condescending. Oh well. Good luck if you think anyone would engage with you.
Lower that shoulder pad.. .

Some people actually leave Nigeria without any proper plan for accommodation. I have seen them with kids and plenty luggage in bus station with no where to go. One even begged to sleep on the floor of my studio in winter😢
They always have same story that the person they were meant to stay with didn’t pick their calls.
I just want every coming in here to know that , this country you are running to, didn’t get to this level with “anyhowness”
It’s by proper planning.

Proper planning wont prepare you for the wickedness of fellow Nigerians who you have prior arrangements with

Best thing is to plan with airbnb in mind and not involve anyone in the process... Plan like you don't have anyone abroad
