Hi there,
Were you able to get this solved? My sister is going through the same issue. It's been on since last year and she has not heard anything after the hearing despite several emails sent. She went ahead to resit the course but it looks like that might not solve the issue.
This is delaying application for her psw.


Does she have a personal tutor?... She should meet her personal tutor for advise on this issue. Normally, if she has taken a resit, then she would have to wait for the outcome of the resit before anything else. I just hope she did well in her resit.

To the seniors in the house, please I need tips and help in this Youkay job market.

I've been applying for jobs basically in the finance field both in the private and public sector but I haven't gotten any invite for interview. It's been over six months and no single interview. In fact the only interviews have gotten are jobs related to care.

I have changed tactics severally, and it seems no positive. I have ensured there is no gap in my employment history, I have matched the job requirement to align with my CV, send cover letters, apply directly from company's website but no call for interview. I have over six years experience in finance and accounting, qualified and in managerial position but even if I apply for lower rated finance role, still no call. It's frustrating the hell out of me.

Gurus in the corporate sector here, pls assist and advise. Is there something I'm not doing right?

I applied for Nigerian passport from uk for my 10 months old baby but the appointment date is in March with is abit long for me plus the time I have to wait after capturing which I believe will be too long as well. Anyone here with contact over there that will help me with the process? I hope to get an early appointment, preferably this month and get the passport next month with little or no fee, I’d be glad. Thanks

Hmn with this your experience channel your energy to Civil service jobs (try 10 -15 applications) could get as much as 5 interviews if application is solid and okay hopefully you get one or two yes.

Be vigilant not to apply for those positions that requires security clearance if you haven’t stayed in Uk for the required number of years needed for for the job (most happens with Home office vacancy any way )

Could give NHS a try as well, but would highly recommend the former.

Could check my previous post for more pointers.


Many silent reader came to share their testimony in my dm.

Which you good luck in job hunting.

Hi, thanks for explaining this.

Do these appointments need to be sequential? i.e. I have a holiday booked for May but if I want to add a couple others to it to apply for multiple entries can one be in say July and another in October?


Absolutely yes.

Just make sure they've all been completely paid for: flight and accommodation.

Most of Nigeria's embezzled funds are sitting mostly in US/UK banks all thanks to their government that enables and makes it easy for Nigerian politicians so export their stolen funds. The majority of stolen Africa's resources are been consumed and received by the Western conglomerates as well.

The UK/US govt are still running investigation on COVID-19 fund mismanagement.

Everybody government nah thief.


You may have gone back to edit this post after the backlash, but we all saw what the initial post was. You accepted that you are a thief, and decided to muddle it up by using the word 'Everybody' instead of the first first person singular 'I' or 'Me".

If you want to live this kind of lifestyle, go to Nigeria. If you beg for connection here again, I will report you to justwise.

Funny but very valid. People need to learn to comply with due process. March isn't even that far away unless there is an emergency that necessitates the acceleration of the appt date.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Dappy25: 4:24pm On Feb 02
I booked a biometric appointment at Nigeria Passport Office, London for my baby. The date I chose was April 1st 2024. I booked it last year and realised recently that this date is a Bank holiday.

It seems they won’t be open on a bank holiday, I’ve tried to call the National Immigration service to confirm what I can do but couldn’t reach them. Also tried to reschedule online but I couldn’t.

Please does anyone have an idea of what I can do to reschedule the appointment and choose a different date?

Thanks.

even the exchange rate that Mr nland resident Bin Laden was blaming us for onto say we HODL dollar, he no face politicians wey don dollarize tins and transactions tey tey eg Ganduje throwback video...but check this out.. customs reviewed exchange rate for clearing to almost 1400 today. Now tell me that the speed with which they made that upward review isn't very suspicious. The whole kasala literally hit turbo this same week and boom customs don increase rate. That signals to me that even the sudden rate jump experienced this week was planned.

Yes, the axe is personal.. because I am here hustling in another man's land inside useless cold and these fooolish idiots who haven't' paid my mother's gratuity for 7+ years are using money to ferry a brain dead woman with plastic yansh to spend our tax money anyhow

You cannot tell me the subsidy removal is for the betterment of all and we have to endure for a while but you're buying 100M naira jeeps for your band of thieves

The old passport didn't expire before I renewed it. Also, I didn't check the tracker because the due date they gave me was 8th of February. I planned not to bother myself checking until anytime from 8th of February.

If your interest is in a mostly left-leaning, Brexit-hating, and woke-leaning Radio with lots of callers calling in to moan and moan about the UK, the LBC is your go-to station. It’s 97.3 on FM (also available on DAB) and on the Global player app.


If you want some news, some drama, some comedy, some docu-series and general enlightenment, I suggest BBC Radio 4.

If you want a migrant-castigating, migrant-vilifying and hugely right-leaning radio, listen to TalkRadio or GB News Radio (available on DAB and on the App and on your smart speaker).


Those are the ones I listen to anyways.
