This is the new normal for now..
Queues to enter shops cuz the shops must have a certain max no of people according to its space in line with Covid reg

Guess they were on an excursion and this is how you keep them in check before you buy market with person pikin

On my way to work, met this guy in the bus all drunk and boasting how he was stabbed 14x. Unfortunately, I was the only one with him and he was trying to strike a conversation, I was scared I no lie but fortunately, at the next stop more people came in.
Next thing, guy man started sleeping and dropped on the floor. One of the passengers informed the bus driver and he stopped at the next bus stop and call the office. The office told the driver to try and see if the guy will get off the bus before calling the police.

Thankfully, he did after much persuasion. Wheww

Good morning everyone, I am actually new to nairaland in terms of participation.
I have been to the UK severally and with wify twice and daughter once.
Now wify is considering going for MSC in RGU.
She wants me to come along with the 2 kids but again the finance might be too much for us.
Please I need the best advice and suggestions on how we can go about it. Also is it possible to leave the kids with my parent's for like 3 months and travel with wify then later come back for them . Please everyone is called on to contribute
@justwise

Sorry if this is coming late or you've made your decision..
Personally, if you have someone trust worthy (which you seem to), your children are not too young, then it's best to come and establish first before bringing them. Especially, if you don't have the finance.
For a whole lot of reasons, it's better

I/we voted in the Scottish elections! Yay!

The whole was was seamless, chai! Fast moving queue, go in, sanitize your hands, give your name and address to the people at the desk, they check for your name in the register and cross it out, write your serial number in another and give you the ballot papers and a pencil. All you do is take the ballot papers to the booth, X the column next to the party you are voting for with pencil o (no thumb print anything), then slot the ballot paper in the designated box. Finish o. Less than 5 mins and you carry on with the day's business
