Thank you.

Baba Lexusgs430 you are also an experienced man in this UK. Please drop an input in this my request below

Please I need some guidance, advice and feedback...

I have two offers which I am divided on which to choose

I am through with my MSc in Data Science here and already on tier 2 courtesy of my wife who got a sponsored support work

The first offer is a prison officer with a starting salary of 28k.

The second offer is a Department of Education Financed training to be a physic teacher with a bursary of 28k for 10 month, I will be paid 19k while 9k will go to the Secondary school providing the training which is affiliated to a university. At the end I will be given QTS ( qualifications to teach) and a PGCE. Now at the end of the training, I am required to look for a teaching job.

Please I need a guidance on which to go, given the peculiarity of this country.

September is start date for both.

Do not mind any grammatical error.
Note I can't do both given the way the training is structured

Good evening house.
I work in a company where my role covers EMEA. I have just been told to prepare to visit Switzerland, Germany, Sweeden, Finland , Czech Republic.etc

My ASK. Please does my BRP allow me to go to these countries or I need to apply for Visa.

Secondly, does anyone have any useful information regarding the cost and any other info that may be of help.

Thanks

You need a visa mate. Since your organisation require you to visit these schengen countries, they would have to procure one for you.

The last time I had the same issue, I already had valid schengen visa. I was just touring like a visitor. Not an ideal situation, I couldn't be bothered to go through normal process.

I booked mine last week and no date earlier than June 14. People are paying between £250 to £300 to get earlier dates but I can’t. I’ll jejely wait til June because I’m not in a hurry for it. You may want to apply now to be able to get a date in June

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news ....... You don't actually have a rental agreement, but a license......

I don't think you have the permission to sublet that accomodation.......

Read your terms and conditions properly...... Have you spoken to your licence holder(s), about this predicament........
Hi, I can. I am not subletting. I am looking for a replacement who will sign a contract to takeover my tenancy. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Been receiving several threats from my Nigerian banking institutions and MTN SIM concerning NIN linking.

I remember vividly that I linked my NIN to all my SIMs so I just decided to relink again. I have tried to do this without success(banks inclusive) as they are unable to verify.

I decided to check my NIMC app and discovered that my date of birth has changed by a day. For instance it reads the 5th instead of the 6th, the month and year are still accurate. I checked my husband's own and same thing happened to his date of birth.

I don't understand this at all, how does this just change and now I can no longer link to my accounts ( naija just dey stain person white embarassed )

Anyway or where to fix this before the deadline please and thanks.

That little point (but very important), is causing mayhem in many homes in the UK....

I am not been sexist with this follow through..... But, why do some our ladies feel that, his money is the household's money, whilst her money is none of his business...... 😂😜

The ladies are working full time, like their husbands...... But refuse to contribute £0.00, to the running of their family....... 🏃🏃🏃

I know some men too, get craze for head..... But from my interactions, it's more common amomgst Nigerian women.......

Is it due to the Nigerian follow - come mentality, that the man MUST pay 100% of all the household bills...... 🏃🏃🏃🏃

https://www.nairaland.com/8014960/tinubu-launches-expatriate-employment-levy

"President Bola Tinubu has launched the expatriate employment levy (EEL) to close wage gaps between expatriates and the Nigerian labour force.

The EEL also mandates firms to pay levies for hiring expatriates and provides guidelines on the employment of Nigerians in foreign-owned companies.

EXPATRIATE WILL ONLY WORK IN NIGERIA IF NO NIGERIAN HAS NEEDED SKILLS’"

Fees are about $10k - $15k from what I heard from colleagues this morning. This has always existed but has been increased substantially, BTW.

Cue the outrage about Nigeria exploiting foreign workers, 'discrimination' blah blah blah

Morning my people, I have come again with questions please. We recently got a care sponsorship and on the response from home office, it was stated that the applicant could work 20 hours on jobs on the shortage occupation list or the same sharecode. Does that mean that the person could maybe work as an IT or any job for 20 hours if it is on the shortage occupation?

Simply put...... Like for like only, using same share code........

A carer, cannot care for any other, but another human being (for 20 hours extra only)......

If a dog walker job is on the shortage list, this person cannot care for a dog...... 🐶😂

He's bringing up some very sensible policies but he messed all up with that subsidy removal without due considerations.
