As a student who just came in September this year can I travel to France for just 2-3days stay?

I meet an admiral (Italian) but also a British citizen about a week ago and he wants me to go with him for holiday.

He also wants to pay my balance tuition worth £14500, he took me to see some of his restaurants in Brighton and also to see his house located at Brighton Marina and other properties.

Seriously I dey fear I nor go lie

I know at least one Nigerian who does care work, two houses, one mortgage free and drives 2023 E-car.

She is a masters degree holder from this country.

Hmm...probably working as an independent contractor and might now be involved in COS racketeering.. sorry issuance. Care has it's pros when done rightly

Many immigrants believe that when the ladies here smile, flirt and drink with them, all is set for them to dive in! Many make these assumptions out of ignorance, many get away with it and a few get caught up and we hear about it.

The other day, somewhere in the North, this guy was caught visiting an underage girl... Actually dressed up and travelled a long distance to hangout with this girl. Same assumption, they say hello, smile, flirt and gbam, they interpret it as 'the girl is into me'...

I avoid the ladies here like a plague. The juniors I mentor in the office, I keep them at bay, with many boundaries set! Any small thing the team/group will arrange drinks, kilode?

Speak for yourself. A paedophile in Nigeria would be a paedophile in any part

Don't learn to mix and understand your new environment. Keep avoiding and living in a cocoon. Na the kind of una dey shame me when they finally are forced out e.g for a work dinner and they start looking at the menu like it was written in Arabic or using cutlery like a crippled fellow.

Well said.
Left to me care jobs should be for those who have the capacity and empathy for it.
I can't even imagine having to need support or loved one needing support and then the care worker is one who thinks so badly of it.
It's like being left to your fate with a doctor that is just in it ONLY for the money..that's how coverups and mismanagement and death can happen.
, people you care would do these things themselves if they could butt hey can't.

Hehe... capacity, passion and empathy. That can be said if any role including okada drivers back home. I want my okada driver to have passion for riding okada.

You want people who think highly of it but want to pay minimum wage? hehe..

There are 150k care vacancies at same time about 150k additional people go on longterm sick leave every month many collecting benefits that on their own could rival minimum wage while some still work cash in hand...

The irony dey shock me.

Women get mind sha.

0 fear of being trafficked and ending up in Mexico or Albania as a prostitute.

0 fear of going missing and never being found.

0 fear of said person being a possible serial killer

0 fear of being used as a drug courier

I think you need to watch some Forensic Files or Red Tree Crime docuseries on Youtube to understand the kind of insane risk this is

Its a total shame to see that it's difficult for you to read, comprehend and identify the use of personal pronouns. You just woke up, opened up NL and type this rubbish that has no cohesion with the context of the discuss.

This one thinks life starts and ends by forcing yourself to eat what your system will reject. Continue deceiving yourself by trying to belong and mingle. That's how it starts!

I remember many years ago, one lady wanted me to send me on a trip to Italy, with a hand luggage....... 😂

After firing her series of questions, she knew that £500 she wanted to give me, was not enough to trade my freedom........😂

Undoubtedly, they've got some good stuff going on for them. But I'll be conscious not to overinflate their population and influence.

Last I checked, Asians (Indians inclusive) make up 9.3% of UK's population. Africans are about 4%.

Just last quarter, LSE released a report on wide ethnic disparity in wealth accumulation across the UK. Asians and Africans were abysmally positioned against white-Brits. Although Indians had some slight exception in the Asian bloc, yet they're not closer to the white-Brit.

So, it is geometrically impossible for them to outrun the 'real owners of UK' in 20 years. Maybe 200 years! 😊

Community lifestyle is at their advantage. They move like a wolf pack...working close to them as they celebrate diwali opened my eyes to their cultures and operations.

You met him a week ago and within that period he has shown you all his wealth? Why do you think he did that so quick?

May be you should start by doing some background check on him, look for any document that contains his name and do a google search to see what comes up.

Just be careful

Him don pay am? Make he pay am first and later tell him your studies won't permit you to travel, that you guys should spend time in that same UK and make video calls when you are with him to someone else and let the person screen record. Make phone calls in his presence to a close friend and drop every single detail of your movements with him. Also let the Oyibo man be aware your people has these informations.

...before you are turned into a multiple organ donor and another JANE DOE!

Good day everyone, please I have a question... Is home baking business profitable in UK?

I have been doing a little research and I know one has to undergo Food safety courses levels 1 to 3, register with local authority and have the Environmental Health Officer inspect my home, kitchen etc

I am a professional cake artist here in Naija relocating to UK soon via care giver route (I still have a medical degree though and have already applied for the registration/license).

Can I add baking to my source of income? I am very good at it but we know things are done differently in the UK.

Will I have a market for it?

THANKS for your response and enlightenment.

Justwise please be kind 🙏

Be guided please, if you're coming via the carer route, then it means your visa is attached to an employer and your entire time should be devoted to that employer, you can only work for a second employer in the same occupation as a carer for 20 hours per week so self-employment is totally out of it due to the conditions of your visa. My dear, if your visa has been granted, check the visa page on your passport or if a letter or email of approval has been sent and see all the conditions of your visa for yourself. You're transiting from a country where you are a bonafide citizen to where you are now just a resident with no citizen status and there are strict conditions to be adhered to.

This side hustle mentality we are all bringing immediately into the UK from Nigeria without considering the laws of the land will surely put lots of Nigerians in trouble in years to come.

I have read every single page of this forum and the previous forum.. every single page.. and pls lets be honest.. why the lies

Care work has been abused.... has been looked down at... has been categorized like it is some kind of "cursed work"... multiple times

I'm really shocked people will now deny and lie that no one has said shit about Care work.. ahn ahn.. stop the lies abeg

It is really unfair to look down at people's work/hustle.. it is legal work and we should encourage one another

One of the reasons we have issues back home is that we all just want to oppress ourselves; we want to be better than our neighbors. That's why some people believe that Nigeria's problem is not just a leadership problem but a mentality problem. I have seen people oppress themselves based on the kind of visa they hold.

There's dignity in labour here , lets not look down on anyone . If care job is your starting point , fine and good , if its banking job , fine and good.

One beautiful thing about this place is that we all end up in the same market, we can drive same kind of cars and can live same neigbourhood. On like working in lekki and living in ikorodu.

Lets help each other, God used someone i met at factory job to get IT job using my spouse care work sponsorship, so let embrace the moment we may find ourself then upskill and aim higher.

Peace.!
