It seemed the fact that I was allowed to pay £20 to attend college + the realisation that the government paid me a grant to attend university + also gave me student loans....... 🤣

Was the final tipping point...... 🤣

Venting one's anger, is a form of therapy.... Some venom has been released..... It makes them lighter + recharge them, for another session (sometime in the future)....... 😜

If this makes them happy, I went back to university subsequently (paid full price) + never required [b]GoFundMe support..[/b]...... 😁

Hehe.. well said

Even here we were reminded how 'the quality of care' might drop by letting in Africans via the care route or better put those who do not have passion for care but rather want to emigrate. Like anyone wakes up and has a passion to wipe another and be insulted while at it.

It's those South Easterners that have the capacity to turn Nigeria around today, the experience would definitely have been different if Peter Obi won. Definitely.

I respect the Igbo man's doggedness 100%

Dem dey try

profemebee:

If you don't know, tribalism is worse than racism.... discrimination within the same skin cuts deeper

I hope you heal and stop making excuses for a government that has failed and is on the road to colossal failure.

OBJ & GEJ don't have 2 heads....

The same Tinubu criticized them when they were in power for things like insecurity.. now it is his turn and he is failing woefully

Every presidential candidate promised to remove subsidy but they had different execution procedures....

Person A and B can decide to go from Ikeja to VI.... Person A can pass 3rd mainland bridge while Person B can pass Eko Bridge... the experience will be different..

You don't remove subsidy all at once without providing some form of cushion effects .. it has to be done in milestones.. the country is already in deep multidimensional poverty and now 28.9% deep in inflation...

Nigerians getting killed, even children and not a single visit to Plateau State or even Abuja that is close to the Presidency...... chilling in France with the NSA who should be working on Security in the country.... the others were dancing Buga on stage.. smh

You seem to have a weird fascination with draconian and heavy-handed tactics. I recall you were the one also justifying hamas and vilifying US.

Definitely at some point you benefited from the dorm account balances you were referring to fund your travels. Speculation exists the in every sector in a free market economy. Naira has shown a high level of instability since APC took power, and the current speculative activity reflects the poor handling of the foreign exchange situation by the current and past presidents. The current speculative activity is the result and not the cause of naira's instability.

Also, do not assume everyone operating a dorm account is doing so for speculative purposes. If businesses project that they will have to buy FX at a higher rate to fund their activities in the future, it gives them a high incentive to lock in prices by buying FX now so they can hedge against FX losses in the future.

Obj and GEJ managed to keep the exchange stable and speculators at bay, the chicago accountant may go to them to learn one or two.

Treadway:
wrong

The end was inevitable from then on. Like some have said before, Nigeria is about to be the largest prison on earth...and the majority of those who will be stuck there utterly and thoroughly deserve the things that will swallow them.

I ve got the stocks and shares ISA on here. I have index funds exclusively. US and Europe up 17% this month. Stay away from the UK FTSE.
Goodluck

NB: the value of your shares can go up or down. You may get less than you put in.
Also I haven't been paid to advertise this

Datakey:


All thanks to you, I no dey miss any match again..

😆

jedisco:


Why not put that same 2k monthly in an ISA (cash or stocks) and get interest or growth on it which is interest free? If you're worried about dipping in, a fixed term cash ISA would help.

This person is blaming America for giving loans to Nigerian Governments. Loans which the Nigerian governments use to purchase exotic fancy cars for legislators. Loans that are used to fund jamborees. I’m sure you are probably blaming America for Betta Edu.
You really blame America?

justwise:
[/b]

You are wrong, some parts of Africa are underdeveloped because we are extremely corrupt and wicked. Let’s not blame the America. Are those African countries who are anti American developed?

ReesheesuKnack:
I find it amusing that the very people who profess so much extreme hatred for ‘the West’ and so much hatred for ‘western values’ are the same who would use any means, including lying, pretense, deceit and every hook and crook means to travel , relocate and live in … “The West”.

Someone will go and make false declaration, or decide to enrol for an MSc in all sorts of Mickey Mouse degrees as a ‘back door’ to migrate to ‘the West’. As soon as the person crosses Heathrow Boarder force (other ports of entries are available), the West now become enemies and hypocrites and western values and policies now become something to detest.

You have sympathy for Hamas. You are pro-Hamas. The UK regards Hamas as a terror organisation. Yet, when filling your UK visa application, you lied that you have never shown support to a terrorist organization. Who is the liar and hypocrite here?

If I hate(d) the West, and I hate ‘the hypocrites’ and I abhor Western values, then my japa plans will be to head to the East, or the South, or the North. Definitely not the West.

EJIOGBENIMI:
Hello house. I’ll be 1 year in the uk by ending of next month. I opened Moneybox today and I funded my LISA with 3,500. I also put an order for a weekly deposit of £45 and monthly boost of 1000.
I am totally green when it comes to buying a property in the uk.
I don’t have a credit card. No other source of income aside from my salary.
What other things can you suggest to boost my chances of meeting up with the requirements of buying my first property in 1 year time?
My target is to save abt 40k in addition to my LISA contribution. Planning to buy home in Scotland.

It would help if you guys were fair in your criticisms. So Houtis are now the victim? Where were u and houti supporters since November when they started attacking international shipping in international waters? Are they ships doing their legitimate business part of the war? Why can't they attack Isreal and leave innocent ships alone? If your brother is a sailor who plies that route and they kill him for something that is not his business, would you be here talking nonsense? Or the lives of sailors in international waters don't matter to you?

The houtis are very stupid. They will draw the fire by themselves but when the fire starts consuming them, they will start crying genocide. They won't care about their civilians now ooo.

On Oct 7, Hamas in their own wisdom decided that the best way to resolve their grievances with Isreal is to go into isreal and massacre civilians and take more than 300 hostage from Isreal, Imagine! What were they thinking? Isreal of all countries that is built on war. They know their civilians will pay the price cos Isreal will surely come for them but that is their goal, to draw the fury of Isreal and come back to claim victim and accuse Isreal of genocide. I expected demonstrations from Palestinians, arabs, south Africans etc to condemn hamas actions during that time Hamas carried out that terror act on isreal but they didn't. If they had done that, it would be fair to hang Isreal for the situation in Gaza.

By the way, this whole middle east crisis is formented by Iran to get regional hegemony over the arabs. Why is Shia Iran carrying Sunni Palestinians matter on their head while Sunni arabs like Saudi,Egypt,Jordan etc aren't? Are you telling me that Shia Iran love the Palestinians more than the Palestinians Sunni brothers? Iran would not join the fight but will engage its proxies to fire the weapons and draw the fight to their own land and the mumu idiots will do it and cry genocide tomorrow.

As for South Africa, let them solve their xenophobic problems before putting their mouth in other people's issues. Before the end of the year, their citizens will go and kill foreigners in their country and destroy their businesses but they are here forming holier than thou.

By the way, Ukraine did not attack Russia to start the war. Russia brought the war to them. If Ukraine did what Hamas did, nobody would have given a damn about their suffering. You can't initiate a war and claim victim, I won't buy that.

missjekyll:


I knew this was being planned. Didn't know they had started or that the scene was the red sea.

Tbh, I skip war stories in the papers. I d rather read about southafricas lawsuit against Isreal. I am very Very proud of SA. #ASAMBE

The devil is in the details…. Woman was working (most likely zero hour contract).
Woman went on maternity leave. Woman realised her visa was about to expire. Woman got into panic state. Woman went and pleaded with employer to help her, with a CoS. Employer says they have a contract with local council to provide support services and they need people who are able to start immediately. Woman (probably) because of visa expiry dateline accepts the conditions. Employer agrees. Woman heaves a sigh of relief that at last, she will not be illegal /overstayer. Okay now, time to resume. Woman fails to resume. This means employer is not able to fulfill contractual agreements with council. Employer decides to withraw Cos, so as to allocate same to someone who is able to start immediately. Makes perfect sense (to me).

kasillars:
Hi House, is there anyone here who works in CONSTRUCTION that can show man the way, the procedures here is very confusing. The local man here needs some serious guidance.
@lexusgs430

Goodenoch:


Lol.

Your being sanctimonious to me might feel good, but it's actually not helpful if you don't prompt people to learn how to sort basic things out. Think: Will they come on Nairaland every time they want to apply for something in the UK? In asking people for such things, won't they be at risk of being given false information when they could simply do basic research and find the info they need?

The beauty of T212, you can copy pies..... I copy a pie called '' Almost daily Dividends '' ....... This pie is a brilliant pie .......😜🤣

Some people might say, buying individual shares is too risky..... So they stick to ETF's or other instruments....... My answer to them is, why not do all.........😁😜

A comparison of one of my portfolios vs ETF.....🤣

And the COS cannot be for more than 4 years, so they can only get at most 3 years COS and upon renewal the 38,700k will now apply. I hope folks are aware.

Lastly, my advice,

In times like these, I believe in seeking guidance through prayer. While situations may appear bleak now, life has a way of presenting solutions when we least expect them. We've all faced various challenges before, and looking back, we see they've become a part of our growth story. Similarly, this too shall pass.

Imagine if you were in her shoes, having made an unintentional error. How would you hope she'd react? It's a chance for compassion, understanding, and support. Life often tests our strength and patience in ways we don't anticipate.

I genuinely hope you both can find a middle ground and a solution that works best for your family. Remember, time has a unique way of healing wounds and making things better. Stay strong and united, especially now. I pray that God guides you both during this time and makes the path ahead smoother for you.

Take care and be there for each other.

I asked this question on the money market thread and recommendation is to convert

There are no indications that the exchange rate will improve as we have not done even the basics and probably won't do it

Best would be to convert a sizeable % and observe over time

bigtt76:
It depends on your expenses in the UK. If your new salary can cover it, then by all means preserve what you have in Nigeria by investing in mutual funds to earn some interest higher than normal savings account. But if you feel the naira savings would be at serious risk of depreciation, then try to move them over.
