Our current set of leaders are not just squandering our future natural resources to secure loan, they are also wasting our future human resources.

Day-in day-out, Nigeria's young people are dying without any accountability.

It's hard to imagine a country like this can have a bright future in the medium term

MeinKampf:
Thanks. It's a little bit confusing. People are saying it's until you earn £12,750 while to others it's if the annual pay from where you work will greater or equal to the said amount.
The proponeyof the former are saying if I earn £2000 a month, the tax man needs to wait till the 7th month before taxing me while for latter it's straight up from the first month since £2000 for 12 months will be more than £12750 annually. Please which is correct?

No, HMRC generates a tax code based on your expected income. So if based on your monthly income (£2,000), they project you'll earn 24,000 a year and as such will deduct an amount of tax above the tax free amount monthly

EzekielBams:
Thank you so much for the response. They have actually set up a profile for me. But the starting date is way too far for me. So just emailing them is alright?

Just let them know it is not happening anymore and thank them for the opportunity to be considered for such a competitive role in the company.

EzekielBams:
Hello everyone. I have a question please. I just got a job that I should be starting at the end of February. I have signed the contract and everything. But another company just called me few days ago and I have been given another offer to start with them on the 1st of February. Can I just email the first company and let them know that something came up. I no want any issue for this Uk. Help a brother out please.

I don't think it is an issue. I have done it before and many people don do my employer same.

I think what is worse is not telling them at all or telling them a day to resumption, when they have setup your profile and gone through other hassles

If the employer is keen on having you, they will ask what the offer you received is and try to match it

TheWinterBird:
I just read your previous thread and I'm flabbergasted that your husband is treating you and your daughter cruely like this, especially after what your daughter said. What happened to her is absolutely horrific! A 4-year old?! Dang! Instead of him to stand by her and stand up for her as her father, he decides to become a monster alongside his demonic family who turned against a 4-year old. They're obviously trying to protect the 15-yo perpetrator. This man is neither a husband nor a father, so get you and your daughter away from him. You should've reported your daughter's assault to the police as well.

Her inlaws are too embarrassed to admit they have a child molester in their midst.

Husband still lives in his father's house and probably is too dependant to take a strong position against his family

Jesutofunmifak:
Good evening guys. Please who are the people that are still allowed to being dependent. For someone that has a work visa with sponsorship, can he bring a dependent?

If not a health care visa, yes, skill worker visa can

For health care visa, I think you can up until March ending

Godfullsam:
Not at all.

Na the brown roof dey attract igbos into yoruba land.

Without brown roof, your people will not abandoned their 'blue roof' mansion to come and slave off their youthful age in the SW.

also they can work on monday in south west

Ironbull:
You can go to US embassy and volunteer to replace him to serve his remaining sentence.

na lie, you have to commit a crime against the US government to qualify.

Myer:
Except the average Nigerian has what he craves the most- Freedom.

People living in the bondage of bad leadership, poverty and insecurity and you call it freedom.

Many of the thing he can achieve while in the US prison, the average Nigerian cannot achieve with "freedom"

Killbill09:
It's the opposite. As each day passes, Israel is losing soldiers and equipments in Gaza to freedom fighters wielding Iranian weapons. Not to mention their damaged reputation, which is going to be their outlook forever.

Israel has lost over 600 soldiers, including top officers in Gaza (since October 7th), without rescuing a single hostage but killed three with their own hands.

Now, what do you call that?!!

----

My take? Israel is in desperation at the moment, they are feeling the hit, Iran should expect some dangerous moves and be ready to respond in kind using the long game (which is working perfectly).

Israel is losing, yet it is the arabs calling for ceasefire.

You made too much sense

Laple0541:
You have been killing them for months yet you have not won the battle.

When you want to kill a snake, you strike the head.

The loser is the person with the deepest loss. Ask Egypt and Syria that have fought Israel previously, they know how far

Krak:
Actually military photographers and videographers is a full time job in most countries.

Apart from that, there are also embedded journalist that follow them on missions.

After watching the video, I think it's some kind of body or helmet cam.

Oga it's phone camera while riding okada on an active zone.

@ 0.25 of the still, you can see the guy's hand on the phone lens

AfahaAbia:
I would suggest we use drones for this kind of operation.

FG just gambling their lives.

A good mavic drone can be gotton for less than $1000.

Get them head mounted camera's rather than leave one of them gambling his using phone in an active hostile area.

Kevlar vest sef, dem no wear.

Each should be equipped with basic med pack like like tourniquet.

You don't need to equip the whole army , just a fraction of them actively involved on the field

madridguy:
We ask you God to bless the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope and strength. May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light. Amin 🙏

Prayer is good , but these guys look too poorly equipped and FG is just gambling away with their lives.

How much will it take for FG to provide them with kevlar vest and mavic drones?

LegendHero:
Did you for the $$?

You’re getting the naira right. In the normal sense, it reaches Nigeria because you can go to the bank to get the Naira but the $$ itself being sent is just being collected by the fintech there and they are paying you with their naira reserve.

What I now don’t understand from this Mr Taiwo is that this has been the norm for decade, so at what point did they know almost 80% of it is not reaching Naija?

I dont think it's been the norm.

When the likes of western money and money gram dominated the market, they did the notmal thing.

..but times have changed, difference between the official rate and black market rates have grown, no one wants to be offered official rate when black market rates are better.

Also fintech apps are now instant transfer, most of the other ones still long stories.

Last bring your money into a dorm account in Nigeria is very frustrating. Many cbn paperwork to move it n cbn policy changes often. Banks are charge huge transaction fees , fG charges taxes.

Why would anyone want to use such

heykims:
Guys, I have a question please.
I understand the UK has prohibited students on student visa from changing their visa type to work visa.
But can dependants of people on student visa change their own visa if they get sponsorship?

Yes

Goodnewsforlife:
keep quiet there n stop the blame game

This is more of security sabotage but since d terrorist know Nigerians are forever divided they will keep doing in n going scot free with it

Don’t u think some disgruntled elements might want to destroy wike reputation or cause chaos for tinubu like they did with the bring back our girls?

Like seriously Nigerians aren’t deep thinkers n that’s y we find ourselves here

I guess you werent putting you think cap on when Tinubu did same to GEJ.

Anyways, democracy involves freedom of expression. If people feel, they have been let down by the government (which clearly has happened), they are free to express their opinion.

If you don';t like it, hug a transformer

Procashtips:
I don't understand.
mpower/prodigy finance gives out loan for travel purposes?

Carbon and other online apps can't give out the kind of loan needed for Japa.

You know any loan that properties can be used as collateral can't be below millions.

Go to their website and read about them.

Also, I didn't say carbon gives student loan, read again

Procashtips:
Do you know any entity giving out loan that these properties can be used as collateral?

These are core student loan companies open to nigerians: mpower, prodigyfinance

They have a list of courses they support across various countries. So not just UK, also look at courses across USA and Europe on their list.

There used to be a thread for mpower on nairaland years back, try check for it.

Lastly have a good credit score in nigeria.

You can check for it for free using the carbon app

Sugargul:
Hello everyone,

I am currently in the UK with my daughter under a student visa. My husband did not apply at the time due to some court issues he had to attend to. Unfortunately, students have been stopped from bringing dependants. We really do not know what to do next. Please I need ideas on how we can reunite as a family. Going to Nigeria is out of the equation due to the investment we put into it. I just want my husband 😭😭😭

If your programme started before 2024, the rule does not apply to you. Your husband can still come along.

That you are with your daughter means you likely came 2023 or earlier. In this case you husband can still apply to join you no issues

hustla:
We all know this is the case but how will they get the clicks they want

Most stolen vehicles in Naija are from Canada / US, not UK where you'll go through the stress of converting a RH RR Cullinan to Left

Who go buy am?

In Nigeria , where people pay cash not 5% deposit,. very few are that stupid to buy a car of 50-60M which is not just second had but has been converted from RHS to LHS.

If as a dealer, you sell such car to someone in a country where refunds do not happen, your life will be at risk when the person fiinds out. If you do it to someone for a 2M car, you may escape, but someone who pays you 50M likely has the wherewithal to cause hugh problems if you try that with them

Lexusgs430:
They put stolen high worth vehicle's in container's and convert the vehicles in Nigeria (fact)....... We have very bad egg's amongst us (fact).......😄😜

I doubt they would do that for a post-2018 range rover.

It is an affluent-spec car, most owners buy directly from dealers brands brand new not second hand for a car of this type. Definitely not buy one that has had major surgery of this type.

It is more likely in a fellow european country with RHS driving but racism did not let them reach that conclusion which is more logical.

adekzy:
Imagine, She pleaded for CoS finish (which she was lucky to have considering the circumstances, now time to resume work mama is getting advice to sue her employer.

She better workout a temp.nanny for her baby till she figures things out at home/work balance.

Also, if her current COS gets cancelled, even if she goes to the tribunal, she may only get the employer/home office to reissue another one not restore the old COS, meaning her dependants residency becomes at risk

SIRTee15:
The ones I watched have pheromone substance rubbed on them- pheromone is what the queen bee secretes. That prevents the bees stinging them.
I doubt that witch doctor has what it takes to extract such substance in significant quantity to apply on the man.

You don't need the extract the pheromones, take the queen and the hive will follow

verybadmouth:
Forget, charm dey dis life o. No go loose guard oooo

Scam...the guy is holding the queen bee in his palm. The workers are simply clustering around the queen bee's pheromones. As much as the man moves gently and the queen bee isn't threatened, they will not attack the man

CoronaVirusPro:
Stop copying news from propaganda bots!

Anyone familiar with twitter knows that, Azzat Alsalem is a propaganda machine!

If you are not supporting hezbollah, you'll be on hamas thread, supporting them.

Now on taliban thread to give support, you're wasted bro.

CoronaVirusPro:



Fvck Israel!

Sorry bro, feel your pain

CodeTemplar:
Gradually, the consequences of not building local manufacture grounds up is revealed. Over the years, the preferred way to be an industrialist is to import highly processed raw materials then do little packaging.
Only import substitution can save the Naira value now.

Also, the consequence of Nigerian companies having to import capital & loans. They should be generating capital from the country. Very silly entrepreneurs.

Also government should clamour less for FDI, so we have to bother less about having a stable exchange rate.

Thundafireseun:
Dull guy

He clearly didn’t understand the concept of the extra spoon that’s why he ran to report to his wife …

A sharp badt guy will chop the both food the kind colleague was offering and no ear will hear it

Moral of the story- reject the offer of an extra spoon

Jumpjambers:
Please bro, how did it go, I am scheduled for a 10mins interview with this company too.

Any payment in lieu of a job or as part of screening is a big red flag. Thread with caution

GloriousGbola:
this is sadly the same way LASG and NURTW fked up gokada, which would have been a marvellous way to takle the menace of out of control okada riders. shortsighted greed

the most stupid thing ambode did.

With gokada, there was someone to hold to account for misdeed, with the regular bikes, everyone bears their own name.

With gokada, it would have been easier to tackle insecurity and reckless driving by holding gokada responsible for the conduct of its drivers.

If he had an issue with the proliferation, he could have simply capped their numbers.

Probabaly, he was nurtw's pocket also

Tenski:
Hastings Direct. I also got something a little close with Marshmallow

Hastings may give you a black box which records your driving skill and terminates your policy if you fall below certain driving score. nothing to worry if you drive well though
